Reconsider it if you are really into games. My NFS and Asphalt games aren't working anymore after having Gingerbread 2.3.3. Work fine with my Froyo 2.2.2. Other games like GTracing, Angry birds, MotoGP and etc work fine..

I tried numerous ways but all failed to run the NFS and Asphalt. Thought something must have block the games from running. Hope someone have an answer for this work around method.

However, I still stick with gingerbread 2.3.3 as it simply awesome speed and overall performance. Games wise I'm not really playing them in my phone. I have PSP and PS3 to release my addicts with.

I have made it to 8192 but before what is the rate
[Defy Android Development] rachit2588:
yeah right even i cannot play nfs shift...it just shows ea logo and back to menu...hope that some1 might solve it...but other games are working fine even gurilla bob , air attack 3d and other are smooth as silk

Hi rachit my phone is still on stock 2.1,i have tried many times to update my phone, bit iam failed iam successful upto rooting but then iam unable to install a rom is there any easy method to upgrade my phone to 2.2 or 2.3.
[Defy Android Development] rachit2588:
just for this steps.

>make sure you have charged you phone to 100%.

>now go to recovery mode (turn off then power on + vol down till android logo appears) now as you are on 2.1 press the lower right corner of the screen you will be in recovery mode. now full wipe factory reset you phone , wipe cache and reboot.

>now again turn off (now go to boot loader mode :: Power on and pressing vol UP for 3 sec and release it) once in bootloader. on your pc turn on rsd lite 4.9 and connect via usb (make sure all the necessary drivers have been installed)

>now select the sbf file on 2.2.2 and flash it

Aha, thanks for these, been waiting for them :D I'll watch these now, but I should be revising for my exam :D Aha
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
it'll be a nice 1 hour distraction. almost done with the comparison video. the software review was fantastic
[HTC Sensation] Chris19145:
really good review! can't wait to get it.
[HTC Sensation] Maedhros:
That Video made up my mind... Sensations SCreen is TOO washed out for me to get the phone.

Hard to belive it has a ****tier SLCD then my Inspire 4G.
[HTC Sensation] PartyMango:
How often are you going to post this on the forum? Besides LCD quality being impossible to gauge from a video: The much higher resolution is a really worthwhile bonus over your beloved Desire HD - Brandon Miniman, the videos narrator, seems pretty impressed with the Sensations screen sharpness and general quality (unboxing video, hardware review).
[HTC Sensation] steve austin:
Pocketnow does very good reviews. Thanks for this. Brandon Miniman Tweeted "HTC Sensation doesn't feel as fast as Galaxy S 2" a couple days ago. I did not know what he meant. From what I see he was specifically referring to the web browsing. I don't mind that fraction of a second lag compared to the Galaxy S2. It is where the speed factor may impact apps running and other processes that he did not have a chance to get into that give me slight pause. Again, thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Chris19145:

[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Well once we get root and the devs roll out some roms. It should be faster
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
Exactly :) I think Sense isn't fully optimzed for dual core...hence the low scores on Quadrant etc...
[HTC Sensation] intel.nehalem:
Great review ! I can't wait to get mine on the 20th :) Hopefully this beast would get rooted soon and its bootloader unlocked ! I can't wait to try out some of those tasty ROMS cooked by our devs which I am sure would make the Sensation faster :p
[HTC Sensation] Maedhros:
Those who have reviewed the Phone note right away how disapointing the screen is to the Inspire 4Gs.

TBH Inspire 4G's screen isnt that great... Cant imagine downgrading.

BTW: Can't belive some1 thanked you for Saying how higher resolution makes up for a ****ter screen.

Come on... What would you Pick... 1080p RGB LED Screen or a 1200p LED screen?

I Think the option is clear.

Please people... don't let a higher resolution be an excuse for a garbage screen.
[HTC Sensation] tomdot:
Not a fan of HTC Sense at all, does anyone know if the Sensation is phenomenally faster if a "no-sense" ROM is used?

Can't wait to get my hands on the device, unlock (comeon bootloader!) and remove all that HTC crapware.

I have the SGS1 now and while it's a great phone, the flimsiness isn't very charming. The HTC Sensation is one of the most handsome handsets I've seen in awhile.
[HTC Sensation] mkouk:
I have been reading the comments on the SGSII forum section here and there are a few posts the about the quality of screen or rather lack of. Even though the SAMOLED + is truly amazing the issues i have with my NexusOne such as banding, screen burning and image retention are still there.

This has made me think twice about getting a phone with a Samsung SAMOLED+ technology as it has clearly not matured enough for every day use.

I want to use the screen on my phone without the fear that if it is on for longer than 20 minutes it will retain the image.

I understand that SLCD is not the best either but it is the most mature technology for every day use at this moment in time. I just wish HTC has used a higher quality SLCD for the Sensation!
[HTC Sensation] PartyMango:
That is just not true, especially in light of this PocketNow-review in which Miniman talks about how he thinks that the screen seems pretty great, especially the sharpness.

Backlighting isn't the most important factor in computer displays - panel type, colour gamut, viewing angles are much more important. Most expensive quality monitors still use CCFL backlighting as it allows for better displays - the Dell U-Series, for example
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Well said. Tbh I think the slcd is ok. Way better than my dhd.

Dolphin Browser has an adblock plugin that doesn't work very well. That's about it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] lordgodgeneral:
If you're rooted, just use AdFree, its free on the market. Just be sure to leave the symlink box unchecked and you should be good to go.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Skater4599:
I use Ad-free from the market from dev big Tin Can or something on both my phone and now my TF it works well. It only works in portrait mode on the TF but it gets the job done the same, and best of all free on the market!

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] toddmp:
was it just me or does adblock appear to not work anymore after 3.1 update?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] jtn7040:
No it still works.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] frosty5689:
Absolute Systems has this adblock feature too (using hosts). It blocks more sites than adfree, but the program costs some money. You can also manually edit the hosts file to point the site hosting ads to localhost or 127.0.0.1, which is what adfree and Absolute Systems are doing. Google will never add adblock features to the stock browser since they started their business with revenue from ads.

[Desire General] Dj Telo:
Hello everyone. First of all, sorry if this post is not in the right forum.

My problem is that I rooted my HTC Desire a few months ago using unrevoked3, or at least I think so. I know I tried to do that, but right now I don't remember if I succeeded or I gave up.

The question is, how can I know if my phone is rooted? I have the "superuser permission" icon in my menu but if I run Terminal Emulator and type "su" I get "permission denied".

I know that sounds kind of stupid. I was convinced my phone was rooted but since I am getting the "permission denied" message something must not be working...

Any help?

Thank you in advance.
[Desire General] 4rm45:
Boot to recovery. If you have clockworkmod you are rooted
[Desire General] Dj Telo:
Nothing happens

If I do that, a mobile phone image appears with a "warning" sign besides (an exclamation mark inside a red triangle) and nothing happens. What does that mean?

Thanks.
[Desire General] adz63:
Easy way to know if you are rooted, is to download an app that requires root and if it works then u are rooted. If not try again
[Desire General] aaa:
It seems that you could've lost the root access.

To make sure, download any apps with root prerequisite from the market and see if they work (as suggested).

Do Unrevoked again if you are sure that you have lost the root access.

Note:

I will loose the root access if you flash any official RUU from HTC that si why you should better turn the automatic firmware update off.
[Desire General] 4rm45:
Yep, you're unrooted
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
What hardwarerevision does your desire have? You find this out, when you boot into bootloader and read the number behind the word "pvt" (first line). If there stands a 4, you have to run unrevoked with custom recovery (amonra 2.0.1) again. Reason: unrevoked flashes clockworkmod recovery. But this recovery does not work with pvt4- desires. You have to download amonra-recovery:

http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...-0-0-14-11-2010-recovery-ra-desire-v2.0.1.zip (link extracted from serious german forum)

Original xda Thread:

[Recovery] [14-Nov-2010] RA-desire-v2.0.0 [GSM] - xda-developers

After downloading and extracting the zip, integrate this recovery into unrevoked (File>custom recovery>choose downloaded amonra recovery) and run unrevoked again:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788044

No warranty for any damage.
[Desire General] Dj Telo:
Hi again.

I downloaded an app from the market with root requisites and it doesn't work, so it means I lost my root access, in case I ever had it. Maybe I lost it when I updated to 2.2 via OTA.

About what MatDroid said, my hardware version is pvt3, so I shouldn't have that problem.

Anyway, I have tried to run unrevoked again and, after the computer makes my phone reboot, unrevoke gets stuck and displays "Waiting for bootloader, make sure the driver is installed". I have been asking google for a possible solution to that but I just haven't succeeded.

I am sure the driver for my phone is installed, as I have been messing around with ADB in the last week to unlock the "move to sd" option in every app and it worked. Or is it a different driver, perhaps?

Thank you for all your replies.
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
You can check if your driver is installed in two ways:

1.) Start adb and type

adb devices

Now the serial number of your device should appear

2.) Connect phone in usb debug mode and on "only charge" and "never ask" to your computer, start windows devices manager and check wether there is the device "android 1.0" or "android phone" or something like that.

Maybe install hboot drivers again:

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install

And conclusive, do not say thanks, use the thanks button. ;)
[Desire General] Dj Telo:
It appears in the "adv devices" list and in the devices manager, both. Anyway, I am going to try to install the drivers again, because I still get stuck in the "Waiting for bootloader..." screen.
[Desire General] Dj Telo:
Well... Aftef having tried lots of things during this evening, reinstalling drivers in different computers and running different versions of unrevoked, I finally got it to work.

But...

Here is the thing... Although unrevoked ran correctly untill the "Done" message was shown, I still have "S-ON" in the screen when I turn on the phone with the volume down key pressed. I continuously get "permission denied" messages in adb console as well.

Before unrevoked showed "Done", I had tu run it a couple of times because it got stuck in "Rebooting to recovery" or something like that. Is there a problem with that? I have been asking google about that and I found some people with the same problem, but they re-ran unrevoked as I did and their problem solved.

I feel that I am really close to getting full root access but still need a bit more help... Thank you all!
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
With unrevoked you do not root your phone. To get full root access you need to be s-off:

http://alpharev.nl/
[Desire General] Dj Telo:
Is that what I need, for instance, to run the "Ad Free" app from the market? Is that what they mean when they say "you need root access"? Thanks.
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
No. You can run adfree without to be s-off. If there is written, one needs root excess to run this app, you can run all of these apps (the where it's not needed, anyway). Only if there is written, you need to be s-off, then you need to be s-off. But i only remember one app (a game, so not really important). Conclusion: You have the right access to run apps which need root access.
[Desire General] Dj Telo:
Well, it happens that I tried to run it but my phone rebooted. It made me think that maybe it was due to some kind of root access issue. I'll ask for a solution in some Ad Free thread.

The app System Tools is not working properly either when I try to perform root required actions. In case it may mean something.
[Desire General] Dj Telo:
Well, it is finally working now. Seems that this bad dream is over. Thank you!
[Desire General] Monk3y:

[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Looks like Apple is taking what people love about every other OS and mashing up into one. That's just brilliant!

Sure they're copying plenty of stuff but the end users won't care as long as their phones do everything they want. Any thoughts?
[Windows Phone 7 General] comeradealexi:
I dislike the title of this thread. Espeically in a WP7 forum. If they are "copying" then it just shows how good the people are they are copying it from. iOS needed to keep up with the latest standards and its good to have competition.
[Windows Phone 7 General] colossus_r:
+1 for this... .

If you are a fanboy then there is a forum in XDA for you ..Not here please ...go to the iPhone forum
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Wow, are we not adults here? Can't we talk about what's good about an other OS? Really, wow...
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
that's just it save from notifications and text only browser, a lot of things are offered in wp7 mango natively...so what's the point? I mean the main problem I have is that apple is still app centric. Yes its finally doing a lot with regards to integration, but is it enough? I'm not sure

I don't mind having a discussion on this I bought my sister an ipad so the ios info is good for me to know...

In many ways it seems that apple has finally caught up to microsoft and google in terms of OS integration and consumer demand...only took 4 years

imho the notes system looks cluttered and gimmicky
[Windows Phone 7 General] buffalosolja42:
lol

I saw the title of this and came by, really from my reading on this apple didn't show me anything that wp7 doesn't support natively or will. Its good they updated their approach keeps people on their toes but your title is wow.
[Windows Phone 7 General] colossus_r:
Yes we are ..your title its not ...just change your title m8..Really wow...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Can I just say I've never owned an iPhone or an Apple product for that matter and my last 3 phones have been Windows Phones. Still doesn't prevent me from seeing what others are doing right, the opposite would actually make me a fanboy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] colossus_r:
You title says : "isn't iOS 5 The Ultimate OS? "

What is the ultimate m8??? The trend and the fashion ..not technology and inovation !!!

New new future presented today by Apple

1. The present today a camera button as a big news... OMG

2. The presen icloud as something new ...Guys skydrive or dropbox are on the market for some time now

3. The present today the notification system ...Woowww this is realy a breakthrough.

This is Apple guys...

Dont forget last year the told us for the fisrt time that there is something called copy paste and multitasking....

They are good ...but only on marketing and on creating trend and fashion...
[Windows Phone 7 General] buffalosolja42:
I gotcha P

I have owned every major phone OS (Smartphone) in US, and WP7 just works for me I have had android and IOS both are great at what they do give me apps that do what I need at that time. Now to touch base with a couple of things we are all wrong in the respect of what is better for this guy is better for that. Everything is based on perception on how it feels to the consumer, and most comparisons on phone stuff is based on what someone shows us at a given time. I pleaded my case with Windows Mobile time and time again when I was with ATT and then the new Phone OS came out with features I already had, the biggest is (tethering) but people tend to go with whats cool and who is using what. Apples biggest advantage by far is accessories I buy one and it works on all my iphones, ipods, etc that is the only advantage I see apple having right now. (I hope this is still on topic I jabber alot)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Alright, can a mod just close the thread please, I can see where this is going...
[Windows Phone 7 General] buffalosolja42:
nice Colossus

well said apple does some great things but they also have the best marketing group on the planet, and that does change everything
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
Actually, Copy Paste is there sincer iOS 3. 2 years from now. But I think they copied exactly Android. In a beautiful way, of course.

Still, I prefer Mango than iOS 5 (;

We just need some apps. And Mango, of course.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ms79723:
I see what your saying about the iOS so know that one person fully agrees with you.

I don't see a problem with them copying anything? Really, what they are copying is exactly what they needed to make a well rounded OS. It would be very foolish of them to just look at what they need and push it aside. I say, iOS 5 is gonna be insane.

I would also like to add that I kinda predicted their new notification system in another thread on here. And yes, I do want a cookie :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
There's a lot of stuff WP7 Mango does that ios doesnt do- Threads that integrate your SMS, IM's, Facebook chat, People hub where you can see your history with a person including calls, texts, pictures, bing extras, local scout, native Office, Xbox live (8 new games here http://www.winrumors.com/8-new-xbox-live-enabled-windows-phone-7-games-revealed-at-e3/), IE9 with hardware acceleration - looking at ios5 I cant think of anything that it now has that really trumps Mango.

apple added features from other OS's but even then WP7's integration is second to none and still comes out on top for me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
I don't see much difference in terms of features between iOS5 and Mango (there are areas where each one is better than the other), but that's certainly bad for Mango. It's not enough to have feature parity with the leader to beat it, especially when media calls iOS5 "massive" and Mango "underwhelming".
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tone_:
I understand the sentiment and agree but dont think the title gave the thread much chance..

If its the ultimate there is no reason for anyone to buy any other device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
One thing is good though - it'll be much easier for Microsoft to explain what Windows Live is. Their Marketing and PR people should commit harakiri, I think. One cannot live with such shame. :-)
[Windows Phone 7 General] enyaj:
Off topic: Windows Mobile had copy and paste and Multi-tasking since forever. So I don't know what all the praise for iPhone is/was all about. I also believe what Microsoft really needs to work on is their Marketing department. I think that's just where Apple beats them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] satchef1:
iOS5 looks like a cracking upgrade for people who already own iOS devices, or are heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem. It's fan service, rather than something that will bring in new customers by the droves.

I've got to say though, it does tempt me back towards an iPhone. If they had a Zune Pass style music subscription service I might have made the jump with the iPhone 5, though there's a few other features I'd like to see. WebOS-style linking between phone and tablet for a start.

Mango looks like a stronger update, but starting from a weaker position. Microsoft also seem to lack a real platform currently. They've got lots of small projects going on, but it's a bit disjointed. My Windows Phone, Windows PC and Xbox 360 don't really play nice together and I'm yet to see a Windows Tablet that I want to buy. Windows 8 needs to hurry up...
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
