[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnibravo:
Hi

Ive been trying all day to get this phone working properly, recently I s-off-ed my phone using alpharev, I attempted to flash the sensation rom which gave me a sdcard error cant mount mmcblk1 sdcard no such file....(mmcqblk0) ect... I fixed this with the fastboot enable command although I still cannot mount my sd either in recovery or when booted. I do have access to fastboot.

I flashed the new reflex rom 2.0.1 which works fine but when I make a call it drops, if I call tmobile it will drop the call, if I call again immediately after it continues with the call as if I'd never disconnected, if I call my partner the call is still connected at her end but if I call her again it just starts a new call and the other line is kept on hold....Wierd, Stranger still is that if I put the phone on speaker it does not disconnect, however if I turned speaker off and put the phone to my ear it disconnects after 10 seconds max.

Ive also tried this without the speaker on and away from my ear and it seems to stay connected, so this happening when I put my phone to my ear?

I dont think this is a technical issue as when I restored my phone to miui rom I had some months ago I was able to make calls without a problem although the signal was bad and it cut out if I moved too much but stayed connected more or less

Any Idea

So I tried re-partitioning my sd changing ext from 4 to 3 and back again, changing radio though I have only tried one, changing ril I have tried 3 of these, I cant make an goldcard because the although I have fastboot I cannot get adb to work, none of the apps for making goldcards detect my phone so I cant flash a new hboot or go back to stock, I am completely lost with this situation, can anyone help?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultrakool:
A while back I have had the same issue with line dropping as soon I put the phone to my ear. Your problem may be different, but maybe my findings will help you too.

I had an app installed, I think it was "Superpower" installed. It manages various settings for power saving, under which a setting for disabling things as soon as the screen turns off.

In my case this was the problem. Because as soon as you put the phone to your ear, the proximity sensor shuts down the screen automatically.

So then the app closed all connections, see? I uninstalled Superpower and it was OK again.

Maybe something similar in your situation, but it could be totally different as well..

Hope it helps!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redneck.nerd:
Well, long story short, had it 2 days and hard bricked it. Here's the question though. Im getting a new one in an hour or two, and I'm looking for the absolute idiot proof version of rooting and getting a rom and kernel on the phone. I had a samsung moment, and I never had any issues with any of the flashing or anything on that. I have read probably 200 different post on rooting and 3e recoveries and roms and whatnot. Can someone suggest a decent set-up, maybe a 2.3 rom, and a recovery that works well together. I do not tether, and i dont really need to overclock it (maybe later). I just want to be able to have my phone run smooth, be able to install non market apps and have everything work well together...

thanks in advance!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
There is nothing we can really say that hasn't been said already in those 200 other posts you mentioned. :rolleyes:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengbo:
make sure your computer / usb cable works properly first. then just follow the steps exactly described and you should be fine.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigerEnigma:
Are you sure it was a hard brick? This is somewhat of a "learn as you go" kind of thing. The devs on here post excellent instructions on what to do to get there Rom on your device. I would suggest MikeyMike's 2.3.3 JVB Rom or my personal choice of Cezar's Continuum 2.3.3 Rom with JVH Talon Kernel. These have a slight risk because of the "bootloaders" you will need to get on your phone, but I had no trouble and would do it again in a heart beat.

Take your time reading the instructions in the Rom you choice to go with, then read it again. Then go through the post to see what others had problems with, because 9 times out of 10, someone has posted the question multiple times.

Don't be afraid to ask questions, you will see others posts and get to know who actually helps, who is a douche and should be avoided. This is an excellent community of people who love to mess with things and have fun doing it.

I know I did not address the question with a tutorial on how to do this step by step...because it has been done;)

Best of luck, and if I can help...shoot me a message.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
If all you want is a smooth running phone where everything works, flash Andromeda 3.0 on it and forget about JVB, CM7 or anything with bootloaders.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redneck.nerd:
@ TigerEnigma: Yes im sure it was a hard brick. I've been modding android phones since donut and this was a definite brick. I was able to get into download mode one time, and after that nada. No recovery no, download, no boot of any sort. The guys at the "Shack" didnt even question my story so no big deal.

Thanks for all the help guys. This is the first phone I have had issues with. My last phone was the moment, which is probably one of the easiest phones to mod so going from that to this was a little bit of a shock. Im going to peruse the forum some more, before making any final decisions. i may try this stuff tonight so hopefully all goes well...

thanks again guys
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upNsmokeAllDay:
Make a jig also. I made a jig that saved me and the guy i work with. Also if you are looking for a 2.3 rom then do go with a JVH build and not JVB.

[Xperia Arc General] rumy:
In order to increase your resolution on the arc you need the phone to be rooted and get root explorer from the market (You can use ADP too)

Here are the steps:

1. Open root explorer and navigate to /system/

2. Mount the folder as r/w

3. Long press the build.prop file and select edit in text editor

4. Scroll all the way to the bottom and look for r0.sf.lcd_density=240

5. Change it to r0.sf.lcd_density=194 (I find 194 works the best, d4rkwind prefers 180 see post#28)

6. Save and Exit

7. Reboot your phone and you should now have a higher resolution.

8. To ensure that all apps span full screen install spareparts from the market and uncheck "Compatibility Mode"

The stock launcher app will not work too well with the new resolution, Try ADW launncher as thats what I use.

Reserved for future use.
[Xperia Arc General] festa20:
Or u could just get lcd density chsnger on market lol does same thing

Been trying this hack for weeks and never liked it. The GUI items were all over the place.

Now that you gave me the magic number: 194 and the Spareparts setting...

Everything is PERFECT!!!

I believe this should have been the right lcd density for the arc to maximize the large screen real estate. Plus all the keys in my keyboard are all at my thumb's reach effortlessly.

[Xperia Arc General] ArcOnFire:
You didn't get cut dialog box like this? :confused:
[Xperia Arc General] d4rkwind:
Oh yea I get that thought you meant the pull down notifications. That doesn't really affect my normal usage so just ignore it.
[Xperia Arc General] yousif666:
Also if you have root tools installed you can set it from there.
[Xperia Arc General] d4rkwind:
Thought id add I have been using 180 and finding it perfect
[Xperia Arc General] ArcOnFire:
Well... I reverted it back to 240 :(. While I like the higher res for everything, breaking the UI image is a no no.
[Xperia Arc General] d4rkwind:
Here is mine at 180
[Xperia Arc General] ArcOnFire:
Hmm dialer and contacts are still messy. I can get 3rd party dialer and contacts, but the UI during dialing is still using the stock UI (messy).

What launcher did you guys use? ADW launcher cuts the label short. Is there any better launcher out there?
[Xperia Arc General] kazuni:
in ADW settings you can readjust the horizontal margin of the icons and the text labels, so I think it should be fine .. :)
[Xperia Arc General] mariolouis:
You are right! 180 is better. The broken GUI is fixed. Now the UI feels like a mini-tablet. Unlike before that it looked like an overgrown phone!

Just 1 more problem with mine. I installed a black google search widget and it reverts back to white when I use 180. I think there are some apps/ widgets that does not like HDPI?

Stock dialer and contacts apps are fine using launcher pro. Otherwise, it looks bad using stock SE home.
[Xperia Arc General] rumy:
180 works good too, I will make a note in the original post.
[Xperia Arc General] rumy:
I tried launcher pro @ 180, it looks like the stock dialer has overlapping numbers on it.

Any idea what you did to make the stock dialer work better
[Xperia Arc General] ArcOnFire:
Hmm ok. I guess I figured out what's wrong.

You better not squeeze 5 icons horizontally, because that cuts the label length. I found 4 rows x 7 columns fit me best on ADW.Launcher home and 7 rows x 5 columns for app drawer in portrait.

Anyway... I'll show you the problems:

- You can avoid cut contact and fuzzy dial pad if you do use 3rd party contact/dialer.

- Dialing UI problem persist no matter what you do.

So how did you guys get the workaround for this? Or you just live with the UI imperfection ?
[Xperia Arc General] mariolouis:
Yeah i realized i have that problem at 180 now that you've mentioned it. Worked fine at 194. I must've forgotten to reboot after I applied 180.
[Xperia Arc General] d4rkwind:
Only thing that looks **** seems to be call screen. Here are some pics.
[Xperia Arc General] mariolouis:
Tried 182. Dialer and GUI dialog box is ok.

One more problem though. The default camera app controls are out of calibration.

Hi All,

I have a little problem with my HD2. It has bin there for quite some time but in the past i used Active sync as a workaround to flash my Phone.

But i want to update my radio now. And i'm on Android NAND and SD. So normaly you just flash your radio or winmo 6.5 rom trough HSPL.

But when i hold volume down and boot HSPL i get the tri color screen. But i get a Serial message in the botem of the screen. And it just stay's there.

I took a other SD card formatted it with FAT32 and placed the LEOIMG.nbh file on that location but still the same issue. Cant flash the radio or the wimo rom. Does anyone have a idea how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevedebi:
Can you sync your phone with the computer? Otherwise you may have a bad USB port. Also, try a hard reset (backup first).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nelthalin:
Well i dont sync my tel trough USB with android. I dont have wimo anymore.

And about the USB port i use that to put music on the SD card and make android backups. And i have not had issues.

The HSPL does not flash from USB it should pickup the image file on the SD card.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevedebi:
I suppose since you are not using WM, there is no option to change the USB port from syc to USB drive? Checking this setting would be the suggestion at this point. You are right, the USB port works.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nelthalin:
I cant remember there was a need to change any option to flash from SD card with HSPL. The only thing you needed to do is place the image with the correct name.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
Couple points.

1) When you put it in tri-color bootloader then connect to your PC, does it not say USB? If it does you can flash via RUU, if not we have a problem.

2) You cannot flash anything from a microSD above 8gb. If you are using a 16 or 32 then that is your problem, try an 8 and you will be fine.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevedebi:
On WM, you cannot flash via USB unless it is in activesync mode. Otherwise the computer just sees the device as a USB drive. I don't know about other OS.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nelthalin:
I will try that.

As for the SD card i was using a 4GB card.

Y i know. Dont think there is a way to flash in android. It might be possible to flash trough MGDLR with the right tools. But as far as i know there are only Android NAND flash tools not Wimo / Radio. But i will try the USB connection trough HSPL.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nelthalin:
Nice the USB connection did work on my new PC! i had problems on a old one maybe thats why i forgot about that.

Win7 detected the flash device installed the drivers and after that i could use the CustomRUU to flash.

Still strange that the SD card did not work. But now i have a working solution :) Thanks guy's!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chan.sk:
For Nand Android, when you reboot, you will come to a white "fastboot" screen.

Press Power button while this screen is still on, and it will bring you to the CWR screen where you will be able to update from sdcard.

I just got my HTC Desire S this week nd i wanna root it. Since there's no S-On root right now, i'm researching abt stuff. I came across overclocking and kernels today, nd i have no idea what kernels r. Can anyone tell me what a kernel is, what it does, how to change it, and will my data be deleted if i change it?
[General Questions and Answers] SERGI.3210:
your data its not going to be deletes flashing a kernel.. neither flashing a radio... and if you don´t want to loose your data flashing a rom there´s available in the market titanium backup... with it you can do a backup of your data,sistem, and user data (wifi passwords, etc...);)

the kernel compilation is the manager of controlling the hardware of our device,

and the radio base band manages the device´s software..

changing the stock kernel (that its compiled by default with factory data, and equilibrated--battery--perfomance...)

you can select a modified kernel that its compiled for to be soo fast (but has bad battery drain---named "overclock") or for to have better battery drain (named underclock)

in adition i was overclocked some desires.. and set up at 1500 mhz!!!!20/22 hr of battery with soft use (overclocked with SETCPU.apk available in XDA only for logged personnel)

you can flash a kernel via "adb" with a shell

or from recovery...

see them in htc desire development section... browse for the threads that has written first [kernel]...

The same problem in MIUI.

Just ad-hoc. In Eclair and Froyo the infrastucture was possible with "thether for root users".

That isn't the same on MIUI. Just ad-hoc, even with the same software.
