[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edge3uk:
I am having this problem exactly, except going from 5.1.6 to 5.1.7 with the EXT4 data partition format. Marketplace synced all my apps fine on first boot, but updating and installing any other apps is unsuccessful. Installing from market.android.com works fine. Clearing the market cache doest fix. Any ideas people?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwraggcan:
Look for a folder in your sd card named lost dir and delete everything in it. Then delete any apk files in the android secure folder. Then wipe market data and cache. Then load market and see what happens.

I just flashed the 1.32 RUU and we're having the same problem there too, so Im gonna root it and use a fresh SD card on AR5 and see where that gets me...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edge3uk:
Right Ive just flashed the 5.1.7 rom including the data partition wipe... On the SD card LITERALLY was a couple of folders containing mp3s and photos. Nothing android at all. I still cannot install anything from the marketplace. Any more ideas guys? It doesnt appear to be from the phone? Maybe Googles side?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edge3uk:
I still can't get this working. I've tried clearing the cache partition and dalvik, fresh Rom install, clean SD card. I can install from the market website, but everything from the app fails.

Edit: just to clarify, clearing data partition and setting up a new Google account fixes the market... Which is pointless cause my paid apps are with my main gmail account. I restored the nandroid of the data partition and market is back to not working. It's becoming more and more clear that this is a Google issue with my account.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freestyle_gus:
I'm also running ARHD 5.1.7 and I've found the market tries to download apps, then stops. Restarting the phone, and the file(s) download straightway without a problem... I suspect it's a Google issue, rather than a rom problem.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandy04:
Same here, tryed also with new google account and works for it but not with my old account...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edge3uk:
Oookay I'm up working again.... (AR 5.1.7 is brilliant BTW)

Id read about making sure Google talk was signed in, and id checked a fair few times, but it didn't work. I did just read something about logging out of talk and logging back in, so tried that and it worked. All fixed. :D

I had this idea for a long time now. Questions and answers are scattered all over XDA now, so it can be difficult to find correct information even using search, as there are too many irrelevant search results.

So here is my idea. N00b friendly thread, where n00bs can ask ANYTHING. I hope that more experienced users will join me. If you have an answer and feel like helping poor n00b, just join in. If you want to abuse a n00b, well, i suppose you could create a thread called "abuse a noob" and do as you like there.

Ask ANY questions which are related to HTC Desire here guys. Battery, flashing, rooting etc. and we will try to direct you to place where you can find info or give you an answer if we know it. Do that instead of creating useless thread with just one question in it. :) Please, include as much detail as you can when asking something.

This is opportunity for peeps to ask questions without being sworn at, and for the helpers to earn their THANKS.

ok i have few queries

1--If I want to install a gingrbrd rom say leedroid's 3.0..do I need to upgrade my Hbot? If yes, how to it in a safe manner?

2--Is it really necessary to S-OFF?I just install some themes,new roms n games..wats advantage of it for me?

3--Also how to root desire as per latest softwares?Ofcourse my phone is rooted a long time back by me n i don remember what exactly i did? i remember using Unrevoked.I lost all software now..Links plz coz i want to root my frnd's desire with hboot 0.93.001 n amoled display..

thanks a lot for answering dis silly queries and spending your precious tym
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undercover:
1. You most likely are going to need 0.93 hboot, best way to do it to s-off and flash latest hboot. 2. Advantage is that you can flash different hboot and try data++/cm7 roms. Also this allows safer radio flash. S-on doesn't allow you to edit system folder when Rom is running, s-off does.

3. Look in rooting guide stickie, not much changed, you still need to use unrevoked.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Is the Insertcoin rom the right size for the cm7 hboot you are using?

If its too big you won't be able to boot it without changing the partition table.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undercover:
Judging by the info he's given everything is ok.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meddroid:
Problem solved. I couldn't flash the ROM because I partitioned the SDcard with EXT4 directly from the computer, not via phone.

The ROM is working like a charm now. Thanks to you all for the help.

What's left now is which radio to Flash? and why? What are the advantages?

Reminder:

My Desire is:

AlphaRev CM7

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] undercover:
If you are happy with wifi/network signal, video recording, just leave you current radio.If you are experiencing issues with one of the above, then just flash latest one. You might need to try different radios, before you find best one for your network. Safest way of flashing radios is via fastboot (android sdk)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] TheWizzard2203:
Hi

Was just wondering if someone knows how to get rid of all the advertisements in de applications. Is there already an adfree hostfile available for the SGS2?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vimto25:
Look for adfree in market place, very good app
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Idan73:
Its the same hostfile as sgs

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] TheWizzard2203:
Thanks! That (I think) worked indeed.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] artesea:
host file will be the same as every other one for ad blocking, although I prefer to have AdFree installed for easy hassle free updates.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] shaq1907:
When I start Adfree I see this error. I deleted cache from application menu but still got same error. I uninstall app then installed it and I see always same warning. How can I fix it?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] TonyK2005:
Try Adaway instead ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thedegg:
yes same just happened to me, error

so put date back to 2011, run adfree, updated hosts, then put year back to 2012.

but need to do this till fix but its a way round for now,

this was the latest free adfree from play store. hope it helps someone anyway
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] viva.fidel:
+1 on this, I've used adfree for about two years and only recently realised adaway works better
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HandreasH:
Adfree updated today over market.

Working fine again.:)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] shaq1907:
Newer version worked for me too.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jashy67:
Yep, looks like it again works properly after the last update. Anyway , will also try this Adaway app as a second choice, thx for info.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] shaq1907:
Is AdFree removed from Play Store? When I try to start it, it says:

"This copy of AdFree is too old, please update to a newer version."

Every now and again when I reboot the phone, my Internal Storage seems to be formatted. It's really starting to become a nuisance. I am on rooted on U4_2.1.1 - anyone else experiencing this issue?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TGHI:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NFHimself:
Hi,

Do a full format in Windows. Connect the phone in use storage mode to a pc, right click on the drive and select format, default settings, turn off quick format.

This happens when running Gingerbreak to root your phone.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamsBig:
So I backed up everything and am now formatting it but did I do something wrong wail using gingerbreak because I saw no where this could happen, just want to know what I did wrong.

Adam
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NFHimself:
hi,

This is what I am guessing happens: In order to get root, Gingerbreak hacks into the volume daemon (the android bit that knows about inserting and removing sdcards). So you get root but it's like you pulled the plug on your computer while your hard drive was accessing data, you need to do a full format to avoid glitches. At boot android checks volumes to make sure they are not corrupt, that they are 'checked' that they are fully synced and closed out before the power was turned off. If there are any problems, either a repair is attempted or a format is done, depending on the phone/firmware. So, after using Gingerbreak to root, there are some issues with the format of the internal memory, once you start filling it up, you get errors when it runs across a bad patch of the format. So, even though it may look like the drive has been formatted and empty, you still need to do a full format from a pc to clean up the mess. I would recommend both the internal memory and any external sd-cards be formatted properly afterward.

You'd need to talk to the author(s) of Gingerbreak to get more of a breakdown on what happens.

Cheers!

I've the same problem using Atrix when reboot...

The internal storage will format after every reboot...

And my Atrix is new phone, that not root before...

[Nexus S General] keer-en:
In the UK I can buy:

Super AMOLED (I9020) £346.79 inc. tax

vs

Super LCD (I9023) £317.99 inc. tax

Is it worth the extra £28.80?
[Nexus S General] psp888:
get the Samsung Galaxy S2, Nexus S is getting old now
[Nexus S General] keer-en:
There is a £150 - £175 difference between the two. Plus I would rather have vanilla Android.
[Nexus S General] psp888:
You should really look at the SGS2, as the Nexus S is year old technology. I've had the Nexus One and Nexus S, although having vanillia is nice and clean, Samsung have made good enhancements, espcially the browser being hardware accelerated, no idea why Google don't do this on their phones. and all the extra video codecs it can handle, full HD video recording, just to mention a few.

Just giving you some thoughts before you hit the buy button
[Nexus S General] keer-en:
I'm on Three and the cheapest I can pick a PAYG handset up is for £499.99 (I'm hoping they would wave the top-up as I'm already a contract customer). Can it be had cheaper SIM free?
[Nexus S General] AstroDigital:
Please the OP did not ask about the Galaxy II he asked which display.

Not everybody wants to be stuck with Samsung Bloatware.

Me I would pay the difference and go for the Super AMOLED.
[Nexus S General] psp888:
Well the SGS2 has a Super AMOLED Plus display!:p
[Nexus S General] moe3754:
I agree about the bloatware plus the fact the one thing that almost killed the deal for me was that this phone was made by Samsung and not HTC.Get the Amoled phone it is a great screen.
[Nexus S General] docster121:
Brought the slcd version a month back for £325. amoled version was over 400 at the time.

After having the i8910 I thought I'd miss the amoled display but haven't noticed much of a difference.

Although I do agree super amoled its a better screen especially to watch movies on, also you would get slightly better battery life due to the lower power consumption while displaying blacks.

If I were buying now I would pay that bit extra.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
there is also the difference in the RADIO BANDs... make sure it has the bands that you need
[Nexus S General] Zardos66:
Super Amoled for sure.

[Nexus S General] williamj1:
You can buy the SGS2 for £400 pay and go on O2.

You just might need to get it unlocked it you aren't on that network.

And you can get the LG Optimus 2X for £330

http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...=0&searchstring=lg+optimus+2x&urlrefer=search
[Nexus S General] :
O2 have not been offering that deal for about a week now, Also the SGSII does not come with NFC. I had the SGSII and its amazing, but i love the Sexus S, it feels like a proper phone, nothing can beat the ergonomics of the Nexus S;)

But the SGSII is fantastic, and is hands down the best phone on the market at the moment. But the NS is still a great phone and should not be taken lightly. You will also get Ice Cream Sandwich first, Who knows how long SGSII users will wait??? The SGS1 users still have not got official gingerbread...
[Nexus S General] :
And as for the LG optimus 2x, everyone i know is trying to sell theirs due to its random reboot issue... It has lots and lots of software problems which have only been put right by POB and the CM7 team. Stay away from LG trust me....
[Nexus S General] williamj1:
I'm not saying that. The nexus S is a truly wonderful phone, one of the best available. My point was merely that if you are a techie who likes to always have the latest thing, this is probably not the time to buy a nexus. For some, the nexus will do everything they need. But for others, the dual core phones and the games and apps they bring will be a huge want. I am one of those people.

3+ months ago, I'd have happily bought a Nexus S and kept it for a year. Now, I'm waiting for the price of the SGS2 to fall, or the sensation come out. My plan is to get one of those soon while they are still fresh. Then keep it for ages. Because really, once you add dual core and front facing cameras, there is little you can add other than software. The SGS2 is rootable which means updates and custom roms. That, is the phone for me. The dual cores are the beginning of a new smartphone age, but they will stay for a while as there is little you can evolve. The Nexus S doesn't offer that, as it has already been surpassed, and rumours of the nexus 3 dual core no doubt are already surfacing. The Nexus S is still amazing, but it's no longer king (power wise). If I was keeping a nexus s for a few months then it would be great. But I keep phones for 1-2 years. So I might as well get something that is at the peak of android power IMO.

PS:

-The SGS2 is not available pay/go at O2 because of stock issues. It will be back soon.

-I'm not fussed about NFC. It hasn't taken off in the UK at all. It's more of a gizmo than something useful. And it won't be useful until it is in widespread use. And that will be a while.

-Also, I love the look and power and price of the LG 2x, but I hate that crappy LG UI. No thanks ;)
[Nexus S General] :
The offer of the o2 PAYG for 400 has been suspended as of last week, check the website, its only back orders they will be fulfilling.

The NS will be at the forefront of software tech, maybe not hardware, but it will always be supported to the full by google. And as for the HTC Sensation, nice phone but the 720p and 1080p are no better than the recording in the Desire HD so i would avoid that at all costs.

The cheapest you can buy a SGSII is 495, Personally i would rather a NS and a ASUS Transformer, which is what i bought instead of just having the SGSII
[Nexus S General] deeren:
Yes the phone is 6 months old but the hardware technology is one year old or even more.

To OP:

Nowadays there isnt much difference between SLCD and SAMOLED. Unless you put the 2 side to side , i can bet you would not be able to distinguish bet them.

I would advise you to get the nexus s on ebay for a cheaper price. i am sure you can get a new one for around 260-270 pounds. IMO buying the nexus s more than 300 pounds now is not worth it.
[Nexus S General] :
NFC is gonna be taking off towards the end of the year, and if you live in London like me, it will become a must have, And there is no point in having all that power and be stuck on 2.3.3 for god knows how long.

The NS is a great phone;) I have an upgrade in feb so will probably get a NFC enabled SGS3;P
[Nexus S General] :
SAMOLED is completely different class to S-LCD. It has visual benefits showing coal like blacks and power saving qualities too. for the sake of 30 pounds its a freaking must have;)

I got mine new for 300, lol
[Nexus S General] williamj1:
O2 told me once they got more stock, the pay/go option would come back.

I intend to wait till then, sell my Desire for as much as possible (£180+), then put that towards a SGS2 or Sensation. That will mean an upgrade of £220 which is ok I guess.
[Nexus S General] :
You could be waiting months dude, and there is no definite that it will come back for 399.99. Also in September there is gonna be a 2ghz dual core device (probably SGS3) coming out, probably to fall in line with 3.1. Also tasty Tegra3 quadcores by the end of the year, so good times ahead;)

JD
[Nexus S General] williamj1:
You reiterate my point. You have an upgrade in February. The nexus s will easily keep up till then. If I had one, I certainly wouldn't be selling it at the moment. I'd keep it for a while yet too. But it is entirely different if like me, you don't have one. It is probably not the best option (long term) to buy one new at this stage if you want a) the latest thing b) will be keeping it for a while.

And yes, there is good things ahead. But there is always the next best thing around the corner in technology. That is why IMO, it's best to buy the best thing at the time. The Nexus S may be amazing, but it's no longer the best.
