Customer ChatChat TranscriptPlease wait while we find an agent to assist you... You have been connected to James.

James: Hi, thank you for contacting HTC Support.

James: The 2.3 update has been released.

James: We will need to wait for the update to receive on all HTC Desire HD's as the server will release the update 1 by 1.

Daz555: So you are confirming that the update is now available in the UK for unbranded handsets?

James: For HTC Desire HD.

Daz555: excellent news. Many thanks.
[Desire HD General] Kiwi_Dude:
I wonder if 30,000 devices a day is just for UK customers or do they mean worldwide?

Let's do some simple maths here...

Let's say that they mean worldwide, and that there happen to be around say, 5 million DHD's out there, branded or otherwise. At 30,000 updates a day, and assuming that those who actually get the update decide to update without delay, that would take 5 months to cover all DHD's.

Could be a bit of a wait for those who choose not to root.
[Desire HD General] stezo2k:
Tried updating via update.zip and it gave me an error so i'm going to wait for the WiFi update, really don't fancy wiping all my data and getting my phone back to how i like it again

Hi Eddie1506 - I did this to the letter, and all I get is the red triangle of death. Any thoughts on what it might be?

Thanks,

MrP.
[Desire HD General] Eddie1506:
Did you get the red triangle when you selected RECOVERY from bootloader or after you selected "Apply update.zip"? In the first case, press Vol+ + Power to get to the real recovery. In the second case, something is wrong.

What is your current version of ROM? The zip I (re)posted is only for 1.72.405.3 unrooted and unbranded, that is, completely STOCK, DHD that has never been rooted or anything.

Also, are you sure you renamed the file to update.zip and not update.zip.zip (since windows, by default, hides file extensions from you)?

Is your SD card working normaly? Did you put the file in root of SD card?

Try downloading again, maybe the zip is corrupted. MD5 is c4d0be1be88a9b4ba80abbd49626936d

Those are the things I can think of. The procedure should work.

HTC UK Facebook Update

HTC have posted another note on Facebook. Looks like the UK updates begin in ernest on Monday the 16th of May.

[Desire HD General] MrPloppy:
Thanks for the reply, Eddie. The triangle of death was when I selected recovery from the bootloader. Ive tried the vol+ thing you said but it just boots as normal. Or did I misunderstand?

My dhd is as you say completely stock with software version 1.72.405.3. From vodafone but unbranded.

I've checked the file in astro, definately update.zip in the root of the SD card....

I've not checked for corruption though. How do I test the md5?

Thanks again!

Mrp.
[Desire HD General] Advis:
When you get the red triangle press Vol Up + Power. You get another little menu. If you're like me you get the error "E: Can't open cache/recovery/command" at the bottom.
[Desire HD General] Eddie1506:
Press Volume Up + Power together when on red triangle screen. Then you will be given a menu with "Apply update.zip" option.

You can create the checksum with http://corz.org/windows/software/checksum/
[Desire HD General] MrPloppy:
Thanks chaps for the information. It "worked", in that it got past the red triangle, and attempted to perform the update, but then failed with an "invalid command" error.

Anyway, I see that the OTA is coming on Monday, I think I can wait a few days! :)

Thanks again!

MrP.
[Desire HD General] Buddhainuk:
well that good to hear starts monday:)

I could not wait i used

to install on my DHD and is working fine just have to install some appz again i have come across some appz don't work but not a lot.

I always fine out about things like monday after doing the update.

oh well LoL
[Desire HD General] Eddie1506:
Thats too bad. I've tried it myself like this couple of times on HTC Desire and Nexus One and it worked like a charm. Not really sure why it doesn't work here.

Still having issues

Hi Guys

Appologies if this has already been covered.

This is my first post and I am stuck.

I have a DHD (on the three network so I assume it is locked).

I have tried updating to gingerbread and after getting over the issues of calling my files either PD98IMG.zip.zip or update.zip.zip I can now get that part done however I am getting the red triangle followed by the error "E: Can't open cache/recovery/command" at the bottom after I try to run the update.

Other people have mentioned rooting and other things but I am new to this and stuck.

Can anybody offer any other help please.

My version is 2.2

Baseband version = 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M

Kernel = 2.6.32.21-gf3f553d

build = 1.37.771.3 CL290190 release-keys

software number = 1.37.771.3

Cheers

Chris
[Desire HD General] njay-uk:
I don't believe the PD98IMG.zip will work as your current build version indicates a operator locked phone i.e. its not of the format x.xx.405.x which indicates an unlocked phone.
[Desire HD General] divebuddy101:
Thanks for that info. So if I took it to a phone shop that unlocks phones would my code then change and would that mean that I would be able to do the update ?
[Desire HD General] Pie1862:
I used this one also, and it was easy and appears to work fine.

The only issue I have is the battery life actually seems to have got WORSE :mad:

I've got one of the first batch of unbranded handsets from VF and it's not rooted or any of that techy stuff. Anyone got any ideas why this would be?

I'm pretty sure all the settings are as they were before and i used to get a full day out of it with maybe 50-60% charge left by the end of the day.

Any simple to understand advise is most welcome.
[Desire HD General] nickhuk:
no, the phone shop "unlock" would only allow your phone to be used by dif sim cards, it would not change your software,

You will need to "Debrand" your DHD

[G Tablet Accessories] WhiteRabbit22:
Ive been wanting a stylus to use on my g-tablet for a while, especially since I got swype working. Anybody have any good suggestions?
[G Tablet Accessories] smishra:
I picked up an ipad stylus at bestbuy that has worked quite well.
[G Tablet Accessories] newtype06:
The only Stylus I have isn't what I expected, its a soft rubber that emulates a finger touch. Feels weird and I can't draw with it. Is there a hard tipped stylus out their that will work?
[G Tablet Accessories] Gary_O:
I have been using the DAGi Capacitive Stylus. It has a unique transparent plastic round flat tip, so that you can see through the tip and it doesn't obscure the area you are touching with the stylus. There is a little red dot in the middle of the flat tip that essentially is the contact point for the stylus. It takes a while to get used to, but it is pretty good for drawing apps. I've been trying out Autodesk Sketchbook Mobile for drawing.

I also tried the Acase 2nd generation stylus, which has a soft rubber hollow tip. I found I really have to press down hard with that stylus to get it to register well.

However, as I have installed the Skinomi screen protector on the gTablet, that extra layer seems to reduce the sensitivity of a stylus. I think a stylus would work better without a screen protector, but I really like the protection and reduced fingerprint mess with the Skinomi so it's a trade-off.
[G Tablet Accessories] amusedkid:
I recommend 3M Smartpen. Here's my video on it with the g tab: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6y6Aqx3W7U

I'm on TNT lite 4.4
[G Tablet Accessories] D Wright:
I have used the Targus but took it back and bought the Dagi.

Better, especially for drawing.
[G Tablet Accessories] WhiteRabbit22:
I went ahead and bought a Ten One Pogo Sketch stylus, but I think I might also buy the Dagi, that is a great design. I'll let you guys know how the Pogo is.
[G Tablet Accessories] TEK112:
The absolute best stylus for the G-tab is the just mobile alupen.

Seriously, just check out YouTube.
[G Tablet Accessories] djh36:
ahhh gary, i wish i read this before i purchased my Acase! I was reading a lot of excellent reviews for the Acase so I bought it and sure enough, it works well in most applications but NOT on top of a thick screen protector like Skinomi. It's practically useless for me now unless I take off the screen protector, which I am very hesitant to do just for a stylus.

How does your DAGi capacitive stylus hold up against your Skinomi protector?
[G Tablet Accessories] Gary_O:
The DAGi stylus does register better than the Acase stylus through the Skinomi screen protector. Still not responsive enough in my opinion for fluent handwriting or artwork, but does work OK for simple "clicking". Too bad, as I really like how the Skinomi protector reduces fingerprint mess.

DAGi has several stylus models, so I may try another with a more flexible bendy tip.
[G Tablet Accessories] WebScud:
I can't wait to try the Wacom stylus whenever that makes it to retail.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chief_Death:
In \system\app directory what is functionality (purpose) of the "DataCreate.apk"

what does it do?

what is the result of removing it?

before saying anything about searching read the below statement:

I've searched in google, XDA and other forums about this apk but none seemed to know what is it so I am going to ask here.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Inside the apk there is a sound file inside res/raw called mp3_1khz.mp3 which has very annoying sound any idea why does the app need this?

EDIT2: link to the mp3 file I was talking about http://www.mediafire.com/?2zay7j6xrlfyjs1

WARNING: The file is really annoying

Request: if the file is important can someone delete that sound file from the apk and re-upload it (JVH deodexed )

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chief_Death:
I deleted now and I am going to report if there are any negative consensuses

don't think that it is use (spying on us) :P

Ok

In first reboot (phone rebooted it self)

Second reboot (Email crashed)

EDIT: Doing some reboots and dalvik cache cleaning to see what will happen.

EDIT2: It seems that its needed for phone without it phone will reboot itself.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chief_Death:
I though someone knew about this apk so I posted here.

I found what I wanted to know so this thread is officially CLOSED.

Conclusion for future reference this file is necessary for EACH boot.

However I could delete the annoying mp3 file which is 1.8mb by using this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=681633
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samga:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadephyre:
Okay, I'm trying to tie my Desire to a Volvo Radio in a Volvo V70, but the Volume is incredibly low, even with the Desire and the Radio tuned to maximum Volume.

Is there anything I can do to increase the volume, or do I need something like a pre-amplifier or something like that ?

The car does NOT have an AUX-In in the passenger compartment, as it is a first-gen V70 and I can't just dismantle it as it belongs to my dad, and I think he'd object against me tearing out the innards of the electronics ;)

Any suggestion would be great.

EDIT: I'm running Oxygen 2.1.2

Hi Guys, and thanks in advance!

After i rooted my G2x:cool:

I deleted some trash software from tmobile (w RootExplorer) without backing up ( i know its a nono but im new to this rooting thing)) so i realized i should have backed them up too late:confused:.

If i do FACTORY reset .... would it bring those apps i deleted back ????

I've heard that you need to have the phone with factory trash installed in order to get the Gingerbread Upgrade thats comming for the G2x.

please advice, THANKS!

I don't know for sure I did same thing on my vibrant but I am sure you could find all the .apk files that came preinstalled on your phone and reinstall them then do a backup and then remove bloatware again.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] moecool101:
I believe that if you do a factory reset all the original apps will be back.

Any tips on touching up the chrome paint work. Dropped it getting out of the car. Scuffed the corners.

Had ordered the cover but hadn't arrived yet. Highly recommend some sort of cover before taking this beauti out.

of course its upsidedown? better some old screen protector than non.

Any one tips on touching up the plastic chrome edging.
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
Ouch. Looks like you have the wrong sized screen protector on - it looks the same as mine. Came with my Case-Mate, not sure why they provided the wrong protector. Maybe they hadn't produced the right ones yet and and thought the wrong size was better than nothing.
[Galaxy S II General] demo23019:
That my worst fear ..ouch

Too bad the didn't get rid of the crome and go all black like on the nexus s

I did this to my vibrant...did u get at store? If so just swap it. Make something up like randomly rebooting
[Galaxy S II General] dskmat:
same here. got it with the casemate. Useless screen protector anyway. need something that resists fingerprints.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
get a black (not translucent) silicone case, and you are all set. :)

I did the same thing like second week I had my AT&T Captivate, did not bother me much. No phone is gonna stay scar-free forever :)

well if you want guys who have lots of paints, and who might be able to cover it, then try looking for one of them game workshop places, they have loads of paints in there and other stuff, I dropped a hd cam year ago and I passed by one of these shops and guy in there found a paint to cover it perfect.....just a thought
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
pray that the phone starts making awful noises and constantly reboots itself.

Then you have a reason to take it to Samsung repair centre. :D

Sorry for the noob post. Wondering if this app is possibly unlockable to remove the necessity of having a certain provider? I would love to see this :)
[Android Software Development] what25:
+1. Same here too.

Although I'll give it about a month to see how things change. Considering they just released it, I think its acceptable for them to work things out in the mean time.

HOWEVER, if the list of providers changes VERY LITTLE, or doesn't change at all, I feel its doomed to fail.

Hey I'm trying to change the menus back to froyo styled ones with black text on a white background. Using ninjamorph I was able to replace the background with the white images but I can't figure out how to get the text to change. I tried taking the styles.xml I got from cm6 and pasting it in the extracted framework ninjamorph created then recompiled with ninjamorph, but nothing changed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Android Themes] ClassicalGas:
Decompile your framework

In /res/values/styles/xml locate the following 3 styles and make the suggested changes.

"TextAppearance.Widget.IconMenu.Item"

<item name="android:textColor">?android:textColorPrimaryInverse</item>

"Theme.ExpandedMenu"

<item name="android:itemTextAppearance">?android:textAppearanceLargeInverse</item>

I can't remember who discovered this, but it was not me, So credit to them.

[Android Themes] DreamScar:
Thanks for the reply. How do I add the edited xml to the framework? I just tried adding it to the extracted apk folder that ninjamorph created and then using ninjamorph to overwrite the old apk, but after restarting the text was still white.
[Android Themes] ClassicalGas:
You can't really just add it is the files in the values folder get compiled into resources.rsc (or something). Recompile the framework and flash the new framework or push it to your phone
[Android Themes] DreamScar:
Ah, thanks. I'll try that.

Glasstopia​

So, I was inspired by the Solar Winds Live Wallpaper (free on the Market and shown in the screenshots) to create a very translucent theme. What's the point of having such a nice wallpaper if you can't see it most of the time right?

I originally created this theme for the Vibrant, and decided to bring it over to me new phone. What I've been able to port so far:

Translucent Dropdown Menu and Statusbar

Translucent Menus

Translucent Popups

Translucent Dialer

Translucent Contacts

Translucent Mms

Translucent Settings

Translucent Music Player

Translucent & Inverted GMail

Translucent Market (From Paul Diddy)

Translucent Keyboard

Translucent GoogleSearchBar

Battery Percentage Mod

General Blue Theme

Also added many color icons

To achieve a clear background for the app drawer, just set the "alpha" bar all the way down for the color setting in ADW Launcher.

Credit:

Paul Diddy for his well designed Transparent Market.

Also, check out theimpaller747's Transparent XDA app

I don't see any point in reproducting perfectly good work, so I won't be making any widgets that are on that list. However, if there's any widget that you don't find there, isn't up to date, or simply would like it looking a bit different let me know and I'll take a look at it ;)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] milenko11:
Does this only work on build 11?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
Build 11 is the one it was built off of. Realistically it will most likely work for all future builds as well, but may overwrite select certain commits in the process. I'm running it on #14 now, for example. Basically, unless they do something major, like when they upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4, you should be good to install. I'll do my best to keep it up to date, however.

why isnt the top bar transparent? and i cant get transparent xda to work either. im using cm7 build 14

Nice theme...love all the transparency. Thanks :)

Flashed on build# 15 and works fine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kirdroid:
@OP- Is it possible to add some kind of mod for the Battery indicator? It will be a nice addition to the theme :-)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
Had unique issues with the top bar being transparent on CM7, they seem to do things a lot different in terms of image layering. Basically, if I make the bar transparent, you will always see the date in the background making it look terrible. It's something I may look at more down the road.

As for the transparent XDA, I didn't personally make it, but I use it on my phone and haven't had any issues. Might post in theimpaler747's forum about your issue.

Thanks! :)

I can and I will, just hadn't decided on a look for one yet. Plus I spent a good number of hours getting everything coded up to this point and was tired :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
New version up with requested additions as well as some other modifications I thought looked good. Also, of course, updated to the latest CM nightly (#16).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kirdroid:
Thanks...the new status bar with mod really looks nice :-)

Also it is now easier to read the text on the notification pull down.

One minor thing...in earlier version the lock screen buttons were themed. In this version it's back to cm 7 default.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:

Can I flash this on my stock rom?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
Nope, this is for CM7 only. However, I imagine certain apps would be compatible. If you're familiar with pushing individual apks, you could backup the originals and push them one at a time and see how it goes ;). I certainly wouldn't push the framework, Settings, or SystemUI apks though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Martovitz:
Will this be made compatible with CM7n26? I love the look of this theme just didn't like nightly 16, nightly 26 is running awesome best out of any nightly I have tried on any device. Would you make this theme work?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
You saying you downloaded this for the Galaxy S 4G? If so, it wasn't ported by me, but I had made a version for the Vibrant in the past, so perhaps someone ported it over since they're similar models.
