[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A Newman:
I am not sure how I can get EDO3 version OTA when the phone won't boot. Can I flash it with Odin? At this point I would just like to get the phone working, but Super clean looks good.

I tried formatting the SD card and putting only the update.zip file on the card, but I still can't apply sdcard:update.zip when I get to recovery. When I flash the "red" clockwork and select the menu options by pressing the home button I get a black screen. If I press the home screen again it brings me back to the menu. I have tried all of the options and the same thing happens. I have followed the directions on this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1053567

But, I get stuck on step 11, because I can't get it to apply sdcard:update.zip.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmeek:
You don't need to mess with update.zip. The instructions you're following will work, but it's a bit dated...

Like I said before, follow the "unbrick your phone..." thread op. Like times_infinity suggested, you could flash dl09 instead of di01, but it doesn't really matter since either will get overwritten by the ota update after your first boot...

Likewise, the ota process(es) will put an update.zip in place and use it to get you to ed03 :-).

You can do it, man, I know you can!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A Newman:
I should mention that I transferred my service to another phone, since this one is out of commision. I won't be able to get OTA updates?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] times_infinity:
Well if that's the case, then just follow this.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044474

make sure you're complete stock DL09 including stock recovery. make your way up to ED01 with the files provided there, and then flash CWM with ODIN and then flash rom of choice from recovery.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A Newman:
I made it all the way through and thought I was home free, but after installing super clean the phone reboots to recovery. In fact, it always boots to recovery. Either stock recovery or the ROM that I flash. I have not been able to reboot the phone since I started this.
[Verizon Droid Charge] velocityfactor:
Trying to make a VPN connection from my new Droid Charge to a Microsoft server at work. This works fine on my G1 running CM6. I've tried it on Wifi and 3g with no luck. It tells me "Server negotiation failed. Server may disagree with your encryption option." I have encryption turned on just like I do on the G1. Turning it off doesn't work either (because the server requires it and what kind of vpn is it without encryption?).

Anyone have experience with this working or not?

More info:

I'm running ED1, rooted.

Found this in logcat

E/pppd (16706): MPPE required, but kernel has no support.

This lead me to find that other phones have this issue too. So, I guess the question becomes, does anyone know of a fix for this?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Turn7:
Me too. Anybody else? Has there been a resolution for this?
[Verizon Droid Charge] piperat:
It's a pia to do. I use a company exchange if your trying to do that you have to get with your it department and have them manually set it up. If its not company you will still have to manually set it up. Just google what your trying to set up and there is a how to on almost every type of server. Hope this helps.
[Verizon Droid Charge] piperat:
I juzt reread your post. Vpn is a company deal. You will have to contact company it guy. You will have to manually put in you server address and a couple of other things.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jcokens:
PPTP Encrypted VPN doesn't work on the Charge, just as it didn't on the Droid X. The issue isn't on any companies IT, it is an issue with the phone. Go to any Verizon store and pick up the Thunderbolt and enter your VPN credentials and it will work. If you do the same on the Charge it will fail.
[HTC Sensation] cb474:
Does anyone know if the Sensation will have dual mics used for noise cancellation during calls?

I love this feature on the Nexus One. It works amazingly well. I can't see very switching to a phone that doesn't have it.
[HTC Sensation] dangerousp:
Yes it has.
[HTC Sensation] cb474:
Thanks. Is there a spec sheet somewhere that shows that? How do we know this is correct?
[HTC Sensation] siamchen:
I think that is part of the dailer/software function instead of hardware thing. So, all android phone should have that function.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
it in some way has to do with hardware tho since you need 2 mics to do it
[HTC Sensation] boostedb16b:
the sensation does have more than 1 mic and yes it does have noise cancelling...
[HTC Sensation] cb474:
No, this is a hardware function that requires two mics, as xnifex says, and a special voice processing chip made by a company called Audience.

http://www.audience.com/index.php

The Nexus One was one of the first phones to use this chip, much later the iPhone 4 adopted it, so I want to know if the Sensation is using the same audience chip technology as found in the Nexus One.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
I guess we'll have to wait for iFixit to tear it apart.
[HTC Sensation] The Doctor:
Looking at my sensation, the small hole above the camera appears to be a second microphone since if you remove the cover, the area underneath it has a little rubber grommet which I normally associate with microphones...
[HTC Sensation] cb474:
Thanks for the info. That does seem like a promising sign. Although I do know that some phones, on accasion, have had an extra mic for stereo sound or noise cancellation in video capture, but then not use the mic for calls. And that can also be separate from having the audience chip, which really does an amazing job.

But it's sounding promising so far.
[HTC Sensation] solsearch:
Audience chip is only one way of applying noise cancellation. It could be done via different methods. And it does have two mics (it has to to record in stereo). The manual doesn't mention it but it doesn't mention many things (it's huge and detailed but then again there are SO many things to cover that to cover them all would be overwhelming for any user).

Only a proper review or one of the ones to have the phone will be able to give you a definite answer.
[HTC Sensation] boostedb16b:
to answer the question with fact here is what i found while trying to solve the 1 processor theory in many of the bench marks... yes there is hardware noise cancellation

The Snapdragon chipset platform is a highly integrated, mobile optimized system on a chip that features Qualcomm?s own ARM-based microprocessor core, graphics core, rich multimedia, GPS engine and wireless connectivity. Its advanced feature set includes:

Enhanced ARM-based CPUs designed from the ground up to deliver unprecedented computing performance

Industry-leading levels of power optimization, allowing manufacturers to design slim yet powerful devices with all-day battery life

Integrated 3G mobile broadband for a rich Internet experience with full Web browsing

Integrated GPU core for accelerated 2D and 3D graphics capabilities for rich multimedia, enhanced gaming, and user interface experiences

Built-in GPS engine with standalone-GPS and Assisted-GPS modes for access to real-time, personalized and location-aware content

High-quality, high-resolution camera, HD video record and playback, and enhanced audio with noise cancellation

Support for leading mobile OS?s such as Android®, Windows® Phone and Brew™ Mobile Platform
[HTC Sensation] cb474:
Yes there are different ways to do this. Motorola has their own solution. But in my experience the audience chip is very much superior to other solutions out there. The Nexus one is just amazing, in noisy settings. And it does seem odd to me that HTC would not be promoting this feature or even mention it in the manual. This is a feature that was very much highlighted in the release of the Nexus One and the iPhone. And, again, dual mics does not necessarily mean they're being used for the calls. Still you're right that perhaps only a review will settle the matter (although I'm always astonished how superficially the question of call quality is treated in reviews, if not ignored altogether).

Thanks boostedb16b for the information about the chip. To me the fact that the noise cancellation is listed as a feature in the line that's about video recording suggests, as I said, that the feature may only be there for video recording and not for calls. This is the case in some other phones, like the Nokia N8, which also uses an ARM based cpu.

So I remain hopeful, but a little skeptical of the information given so far.
[HTC Sensation] cb474:
Well, the Sensation is starting to get a lot of reviews now. As usual, reviewers pay almost no attention to call quality and don't make serious attempts to test it.

That said, I'm seeing contradictory information about the noise cancellation on the Sensation.

Engadget says:

But, in contrast, Techradar says:

Engadget also pointed out the wind issue, when recording video.

I don't know, that's not really sounding like the kind of noise cancellation implementation found in the Nexus One and other phones equipped with the Audience chip. Most phones I find handle street noise (as in Engadget's positive review of the noise cancellation), much better that loud bars (as in Techradar's negative review of the noise cancellation). But on the Nexus One I can be in amazingly loud enviroments (loud music, other people talking, machines operating in the background) and people don't hear anything, often thinking I'm at home.

I'm thinking perhaps HTC passed on the audience chip either as a cost cutting measure or to save space (since the Sensation is pretty compact for a 4.3" screen device).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dubbin_Irie:
Just curious but have any of you that own it overseas able to use Google voice or the like to make calls? Very interested if its possible
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Charl3z523:
I'm pretty sure the only way you would be able to do that is if you used Skype to make and recieve all your calls. You would have to get a Skype number, then pay the $2.99 for unlimited U.S. calling. More conveniently you could port your cell number to Google Voice and then have that number ring your Skype number. Whenever you left the house you would just have to make sure 3G was on (so you would have to get it from Sprint). Also the mic on it is pretty bad from what reviewers are saying, so you would need a bluetooth headset.

Edit: Forgot to point out Google voice won't make calls over 3G, hence why you would need Skype.

Edit 2: And of course the battery is very good so it makes this setup very possible.

Hmm well its really preference, you only manage to get 1080p with blu-ray right now. Cable is streaming at 720p so it comes down to what you will be using it for, also try out the 3d to see if you even like it. You don't want to buy it and never use it because you don't like it.

Ill probably go with the Samsung. Went to the Mall yesterday and they had a 3D on display and the picture was amazing. Looked like it was actually there in real life.

Belkin F8Z492-P Bluetooth Music Receiver

Pro:

I can listen to music wirelessly in my car.

When someone calls, phone sound comes through phone, keeping privacy.

Phone stops playing music automatically when engine is off.

Cons:

I have to connect to belkin manually but I was able to set a short cut so that 2 touches will do it. -> Possible solution: App called tasker can automatically turn on bluetooth when docked and find belkin and connect automatically.

Want to set up so that when someone calls, I get phone sound via jawbone bluetooth headset but its not easy to swap back and forth

Total money spent: about $60.

Any other idea?

edit: oh, i see that was one of your "cons" in the OP, oops :P
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ERIFNOMI:
Tasker is a crazy app that is hard to get used to at first. You set up actions to take place based on certain triggers. Actions include just about anything. -Turning settings on or off such as WiFI, BT, GPS, ringer, etc. etc. as well as many other things. Triggers for these actions could be things like location (GPS, Cell Tower triangulation, Cell Near, WiFi near, ect) or something like being docked (which would work well in your case if you have the TB car dock), openeing a certain application, or even a custom widget which you make and stick on your homescreen somewhere.

I haven't gotten too deep into it myself. I have WiFi turn on when I'm home then off again when I leave based on a Cell Near context and turn GPS on when I open Maps. It can get as complicated as you want. You'd be best checking out the site. http://tasker.dinglisch.net/
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gojoecho:
@gohamstergo

I manually have to connect.

It stays at "paired but not connected status" so I have to press "Belkin D02" in bluetooth settings menu.

I was able to put "bluetooth setting" as shortcut and put that in my dock so that it only requires 2 touches.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gojoecho:
Wow, tasker is kinda confusing. It's got a lot of options but it's hard to figure it out

I do have a car dock.

is it possible to set up so that "when docked in car" -> "Connect Belkin D02" ? I couldn't find the option where I can specifically call which bluetooth device I want to connect to.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gohamstergo:
what you could do instead, is start with bluetooth off, set tasker to turn on bluetooth when docked, and it should auto connect since it scans for devices when bluetooth is first turned on... could try that. (to test, turn your car power on and cycle bluetooth, see if it connects automatically). then set taskers end action (which would happen when undocked) to turn bluetooth off.

also gojoecho, after you reply to me, try to paste the links in my post to your OP. you might have enough posts.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] gojoecho:
Thank you for your idea. I'll also try to see if there's a way to turn off the bluetooth when phone is out of the dock.

Ok.

So at some point I soft bricked my phone and I got the Phone -- ! -- Computer screen.

Managed to get it back into download mode, and then unbricked it by getting it flashed to EB01 as instructed in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1026746

So now I have EB01, which is working, however there is a new problem.

When I try to plug the phone into a computer, it is not recognized (Says the device has malfunctioned).

I have tried 3 different computers. I made sure I used the cable that came with the phone.

I brought it into the Verizon store, and they were unable to get any of their computers to recognize the phone either (we tried a few other cables there as well)

This is both in download mode and within the OS itself.

They told me to try downloading Vcast however that didn't work either.

So now I'm wondering if there is something I can do to get it to recognize it properly again.

Has anyone run into this situation before and managed to fix it?

I did twice have the phone plugged in via usb to my car, and walked out the car (was talking on the phone), and the USB yanked out, so that could have potentially damaged it (though it still charges, so I don't know)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenisiz:
Yanking it out could have very well done it. Only thing I would suggest is reformatting the drivers and attempting again this time leaving it plugged in and rebooting the computer. If that doesn't work, replacement time.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M00NEY:
based on the fact that so many PC's have been unable to connect and the info on yanking the USB charger in the car (I think we have all likely done that - though for me it has happened at work with the laptop<->network cable...) you may have damaged the plug/receptor (not sure what would be proper...).

I would do a visual inspection for kicks, though I am sure there could be damage you cannot see.

I believe that these USB connections are a minimum of 4 conductors (some devices are more proprietary and use more pins to ensure you are using an official cable so they can get you to buy more of their stuff - though some of those pins are not actually wired through the cable, but rather short to each other...). If you damaged only one, that could likely be the reason that you can get a charge but no data comm - and since it seems likely that one of the two data pins would be tx and the other rx, then I could see why teh PC would report the device had malfunctioned...

I am guessing here - logic, please don't fail me...
