I'm not sure if I'm just hearing things, or maybe not hearing things right, but the sound quality on Pandora seems pretty crappy after the OTA Gingerbread update. Anyone else having similar issues?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] ccrt-racing:
I'm hearing more squeaks and pops
[Droid X Themes and Apps] joebob296:
Try selection the high quality option see if that helps.

Pandora

I uninstalled, then reinstalled, and it seems to have fixed it somewhat. Still doesn't seem as good as it did prior to the update. I checked the bitrate setting and it was already on the highest. I contacted Pandora and they said they hadn't heard of any issues. Oh well, this seems to fix it for the time being. Probably going to switch out to a new service anyway.

Thanks!

I've been having troubles with Pandora stream stopping after 30 minutes of listening. Anybody having this trouble? Solutions?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Jon2datymuls:
I have been emailing Joe for Pandora support for the past few days. Ive been getting an issue with the streaming just stopping randomly then moving onto the next song. Its very annoying but I have given up logs to them in hopes they would fix the issue.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redspecial2000:
Hi guys,

I love my Desire HD, I really do. Great phone. I get asked all the time what make it is... very nice owning it... BUT I hate Orange UK and their pesky interfering with the ROM. Some things just plain don't work.

So (and I have looked) there are lots of ROMs out there that I can Flash, but it's all very confusing to me.

What I need clear guidance on is:

1. Can I get a nice clean Genuine HTC Rom on it (with Sense)?

2. Will that give me OTA updates to Gingerbread or any future upgrades?

Sorry, but I seem to only find Mod guidance on here, but Im one of those people who like to put things back the way they were designed to be... (Im that sad...)

Ta for any help you can offer
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clouds5:
1. Yes, if you just want stock rom you can root your UK branded Rom (if its base 1.72 you have to downgrade first check this guide, thats what i used and there's also a link to a downgrade guide in it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=964996) get S-OFF and install the official RUU (R om U pdate U tility) from 2.3.3. Or when you have root and S-OFF you can flash Clockworkmod recovery (the thing you need to flash any custom made stuff) and from there any custom rom you like. This is recommended because with it you can backup your current branded Rom in case you need to have it repaired and still want to be under warranty.

2. With official RUU you will get future OTA updates directly from HTC, but when you install 2.3.3 RUU you're already up do date. When you have a Custom Rom you will get updates from your rom Chef that you download over wifi/3g directly to your phone and flash it through Clockworkmod recovery :)

This is stock rom with improvements. Look at the features list, it will convince you :D I'd say its the most popular custom rom and a good point to start.

btw Orange is the best provider in terms of Data plans in my country. You get most out of your money. But the branding and support is horrible :D They have absolutely no clue what their talking about. When i asked them if my DHD was branded when i bought it the sales assistant didnt even know what that is... She had to ask someone else first. If thats the same in UK you're on a good way with installing the Rom YOU want. You'll get support here from guys that do even better than the guys from HTC. Believe me.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quasi_mojo:
I've only ever met one sales assistant who knew what I was talking about, I felt strangely attracted to her...

I've tried a few roms and settled on cm7 for now, best thing to do is junk the stock rom and get flashing, the improvements in battery life should be enough to convince you lol
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redspecial2000:
Thanks guys, this is really helpful....

The thing that tipped me over the edge was a trip to my local Orange Shop, where I went to get some answers as to why the Hot Spot feature wasn't working on the phone. I then had to spend 10 minutes explaining to the girl what the hotspot feature was, then DEMONSTRATE it to HER!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fdelosriossanchez:
Orange guys must have been tinkering with the rom. Tethering and hotspot options worked out of the box for me but you better switch to a custom rom to get those features back and other goodies. Besides, it's funny :).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndriodLover:
Yep, like all the others recommended custom rom is the way forward. I was in your position before I started the flashing madness, I can promise you, you wouldn't regret it.. And we are so lucky to have such an active development section...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze599:
Yep if you follow all the instructions it is nigh on impossible for anything to go wrong. Even if it does however, due to the active forums, you will get an answer in no time!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
Don't do it, once you start you can't stop flashing save yourself and run away while you can :)

On a serious note, the battery life improvement and virtual 24hr help with this forum are good enough reasons on there own to do it, you won't regret it...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RizlaUK:
Ok Guys.... I'm gonna give you a laugh.

I've had my DHD since March (from Orange) and like all of you I am now not happy with (what you state is Stock ROM)

At the very tender age of 53yrs and now burnt our with computing and the like I rarely understand all the lingo/terms used Etc ;((

After calling on a phone 'expert' shop yesterday and was willing to shed cash if they could root & flash (presumably after de-branding) I saw the blank expression on their face.... "Nope... we don't know what your talking about"

Hmmm (I thought) So now I am determined to scare myself to death and ATTEMPT to get my phone to where it should be! But I am SOOoo lost on all the termanology used.

I am on 2.2.1

Kernal 2.6.32.21-g46445e7

Build 1.84.61.2

At the present time I am running on SPB 3D and have Laucher Pro installed as I was exerimenting with home page mods.

Still awaiting Ginger and can't see me getting it from Orange (UK) for any time yet. Phone does som curios things at times and seems to be getting buggy.

Phone calls drop, incomming second caller now boots me from my original call, icons vannish Etc.

Oh... Not keen on all this Facebook lark which the stock Orange thing has installed.

So.. ok, Not now happy with my DHD, but don't know where to start in geriatric terms.

Love this forum tho'

Hi

I am sending you a PM with a full guide and all the tools you require :)
[General Questions and Answers] lukeg1589:
Hey everyone I am having some trouble with my friends HD2.

He installed HSPL3 with 2.08.hspl

Then Magldr 1.10

Then installed android 2.2 ROM

Everything worked fine, made phone calls, texts, all that except 3g didn't work but I am assuming that was because he didn't install a radio?

Now, heres where I am stuck.

He told me he used the phone for awhile without 3g.

Yesterday he turned off the phone before school and turned it on after school.

-The phone started to fail to boot up in multiple ways

-It sat at the stick together screen

-Got to MAGLDR 123456 go go go (would get stuck there sometimes)

-Got fully booted up and would search for a signal and freeze

-Or it would fully boot up and work normally until he had to restart it again

Now he told me this is what he did when he got home from school

-He opened magldr and did a usb flash

-opened bootloader and tried to reinstall android

-got two errors

-could no longer boot passed Magldr

I recommended he switched back to a shipped ROM from t-mobile it was the (3.14 update)

He told me he tried it, got to 8% and failed, and now he gets an error along the lines of:

-software update failed please try again

He gets that whenever the phone started up.

Now I said oh lord that sucks, now I have the phone.

-The phone is still on 2.08 hspl

-magldr 1.10 still installed

-Just did a USB flash

What do I do? I have tried looking at guides to install android but seeing as how there is no ROM on the phone anymore I can't do an SD install.

How do I tell if my phone is 512mb or 1024mb?

Is the phone bricked?

I currently have the Android 2.2 that my friend installed on the phone installed on this computer should I continue to use that?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grifforama:
This pains me to write this, but I have to give up on Verizon.

I've been experiencing very bad reception at my home, including voice and data.

I've had 4 new incredibles to check it wasn't hardware (it's not software) related, and the finality was a verizon trouble ticket opened, to be closed with the answer that my area was a known trouble area. They have yet to invest in new or upgraded towers, and the tech guy told me that as such, he cannot guarantee the level of reception that I am supposed to get.

As such, he has placed a note on my account that I can port my number with zero cancellation charge.

This is Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York, believe it or not. I was shocked as well.

So, my question to all you people out there is this. Seeing as though I am probably going to jump to Sprint or T-Mobile (I know Tmobile gets good reception, as my work phone is perfect), I was wondering if anyone had any experience or suggestions on the latest and greatest from either carrier. I'm guessing it's going to the Evo or Nexus S for Sprint, or G2X from TMobile...

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JdeFalconr:
Anyone else having problems receiving MMS messages? I get a "download" button in the message but after I tap it no image appears. I dont see them in my Gallery either. I've had this happen with messages from iPhones to my Atrix. Any ideas or similar experiences?

Gingerblur 6.0 with Gingerbreak, on top of the 1.83 firmware.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontremember:
I get that in my stock, unrooted Atrix. In my case, it seems to be due to having data disabled. Go to Settings -> Data Manager -> Data Delivery. I have three buttons, Background Data, Data Roaming & Data enabled. Only background data is checked, because I am generally in reach of a wifi access point.

With "Data enabled" unchecked, I get the Download button when someone sends me a message with a photo. I also can't send photos. If I check "Data enabled" I can both send and receive mms texts.

So, my question is, why isn't a strong wifi signal good enough for mms?? Speedtest.net shows 15Mb/s down, 12Mb/s up, with 29ms ping to Richmond VA over Verizon FiOS and the router is about 15 feet away across the room.

I can use gmail to get photos out over wifi, but mms *has* to have Data Enabled... Not happy about that,
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JdeFalconr:
Thanks for the reply. Data delivery is definitely on and my power plan is nighttime saver. I seem to have this happening for normal texts now too.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamastang:
JdeFalconr,

I had this similar issue when I first got my Atrix... My wife's had no problems but mine was acting just like yours... It so happened that AT&T had disabled my text messaging on my phone number... Just a thought.. Hope it helps or gives you another idea.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JdeFalconr:
Thanks for the suggestion bamastang, but I don't believe that's the case...I was still getting texts just fine.

In any case I finally bit the bullet and did a factory data reset plus flashed the 1.83 SBF and that seems to have done the trick, unsurprisingly. Hopefully the problem doesn't reoccur as I don't care to have to do that again soon.
[HD Mini General] jake1990:
Hi,

when android porting is finished to 100%, do we have to start it everytime from WM 6.5 - SD Card or will it be integrated permanently in our htc hd mini, so we can start Android just by pressing "power" button (hopefully, this would be great) ?

And yes, i read the F.A.Q.-Thread and i know thats not a ROM, but i'm still not sure about this.

BTW: Many thanks to all developers! :-)
[HD Mini General] codiak:
This is not a subject atm.

If you want to boot it "native", we need a custom boot loader.

Afaik, most of them for HTC devices are made by DFT.

As Cotulla dropped developing for the Mini, the chances to get one from DFT are low.

I dont know if "our devs" are able to make one ;)

But at the end... who knows that the future will bring?

I am aware of that thread. But the bootloader is just the first step. Android would still run from sdcard.

How to get it to NAND?

I think all these questions are not importanted untill we have a fully working SD version...

Just my 2 cents.
[HD Mini General] munjeni:
We should work together with more stuff. Also I'm accessed mtd partition with kernel mtd driver, kernel inside have one testing driver for mtd, am tried with success. Although care should be taken not to damage the spl! If you damage spl, your phone will be bricked! In any way I agree with you!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hoofadoo:
I've only heard it drains the battery.... :p
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
it works on many phones but not as good as actually modifying the rom. i had some roms that juice defender had no improvement on because they were fine tuned not to drain battery in the first place. it's not bad for a stock phone but as roms become better it will do less.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
I installed JuiceDefender and JuicePlotter. Graphed several hours with JD on, and several hours with JD off.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] rblankman:
same here, not heard real good things about it
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Terrigno:
I have it installed on my Infuse. Installed JuiceDefender Plus and left it on Balenced Mode. Had it for about a week now and its helped my battery big time. I only charge it once at night now. I was skeptical at first cause the free beta version wasnt doing anything. But once I got the Plus version. Its a HUGE difference.

What it does is kicks off your mobile network while the phone is asleep. And it turns it back every 15 minutes quickly. So you can get your synced apps to sync like Mail etc. But if your using the phone a lot, the battery is still gonna drain quick while your using it. But while the phone is asleep and your not using it, its conserving battery life big time. Turning the mobile network off. You will still get calls and texts. They have different modes in it, I just left it balenced. It has aggressive to and lets you adjust everything. Worth the money in my opinion. Big time!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] running_the_dream:
Not worth the money. 2.2 does a good enough job at keeping battery good. I would rely on roms (once more beefed up roms are available) for system tweaks and so forth

I spent some time looking through forums, if I missed the answer to my question you can throw me in the fire.

Running nightlie #95 and dal oc kernel@ 1200 mhz. 7.03 stable all the way up to this nightlie I haven't been able to run the XDA on the nook. It loads up and I can make a few selections than it fc's.

Is this because I changed my build.prop for netflix? Any ideas?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] luciferii:
it dont work fer any body on a nook, use tapatalk.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] martian21:
NOT TRUE!

The XDA app (free version) looks for an IMEI number which the Nook does not have. DizzyDen has put together an app to patch your framework.jar file to give your Nook a fake IMEI based off your Serial number so apps like the XDA app, Swype, HBO GO, and the Xfinity app which look for IMEI numbers will work.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] I Am Marino:
Is using Tapatalk just the easier idea?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] obsidianblackhawk:
Guys i hate to break it to all of you but the XDA APP has work on cm7 since day 1. No mods no tapatalk pro no nothing. install it from the market and run what ya brung. i have never had a problem with it once.

EDIT: This is without any hacking of the IMEI at all.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Hindle1225:
I will have to try out the imei file. Sick of seeing "process com.quoord.tapatalkxda.activity"

Thanks for the ideas
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] martian21:
This is true on phones (which have an IMEI) not on the Nook...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] IFLATLINEI:
In my experience the XDA never worked right. On both NookieFroyo and on CM7 I could use it to browse but once I tried to login it would force close. Works great on my Eris though!

I wonder what is the advantage of the app is anyway? I just use Opera and go to the website. I'm doing it right now.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] obsidianblackhawk:
again i beg to differ I have never once had an issue with the XDA app from the day i got my nook. Never hacked anything. It has always worked perfectly every single time. Not to say other people my not have issues, but both my Nook and My Wife's nook has never had an issue.

edit: Question or clarification perhaps. Are you guys getting errors just trying to load the app or when making a reply?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] martian21:
The error it's typically upon logging in.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] obsidianblackhawk:
yeah never seen that one happen.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] fuul4nook:
When you say it worked from day one, which version of the app and CM7 are you referring to? And what are you on now?

I have a recent SD install CM7/n87 and a fresh download of the XDA free app, and it FCs everytime when you try to do anything relating to log in. Can you confirm what you're running, may have done special to get it to work?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Hindle1225:
fuul, what you describe is exactly the problem I am having
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] obsidianblackhawk:
I owe this thread an apology. I had never actually tried to login on the XDA app. I just browsed forums.

Note However: Now that i have logged into the app. I can still browse fine, the only time i'm getting a FC is when i try to reply to a thread.

Again i apologize for not testing further before spouting off at the mouth. Yes there is in fact a problem, i just don't experience "as bad" of a problem as some of the rest of you.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] IFLATLINEI:
I gotta say that its kind of rediculous this app has problems running on the nook correctly since xda seems to be the center of Nook Color hacking universe.

Then again the app is pointless when I can just use my browser. In fact I'm now getting rid of any and all apps that can be replaced with my browser. What's the point?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] knaries2000:
just get the xda premium app, that does not require an imei number or do the framework hack.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] IFLATLINEI:
But why? What does the app offer that browsing to the full site does not? Besides looking like crap and taking up space.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Hindle1225:
Anytime I can use an app made for a particular forum I use that over the browser anyday. Having multiple bookmarks saved for each forum thread and for each forum starts to clutter up the rest of my non forum bookmarks. An app like XDA lets you save favorites within the app itself, therefor freeing up adding 20 some odd extra bookmarks of threads I like to keep up on.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] IFLATLINEI:
The site provides that same functionality. You can subscribe to threads eliminating the need to fill your browser with extra bookmarks.

When I open my browser and click on my xda bookmark I'm automatically signed in and ready to pickup on all the threads I have participated in or have interest in. I just don't see the need for a xda app. There has to be a reason for the app. There must be something it does for the user the website will not. WHY!?!?!?!? LOL
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] fuul4nook:
Lower bandwidth for one? Noticed that with the stock browser and dolphin HD, there are times when browsing the XDA site directly it has issues rendering certain pages. Could be luck of the draw and a misbehaving ad banner for all I know, or a bad internet connection from my side, no idea. But overall the XDA app feels like it's lower bandwidth.

Since I haven't been able to get the logged in version of the free XDA app to work, I couldn't tell you beyond just this if it's worthwhile.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] IFLATLINEI:
Lower bandwidth? Maybe. I couldn't say either way. I've settled into Opera mobile and haven't had any issues using the site and all its feature. I was just curious and since I couldn't find a reason on my own I thought maybe someone could give at least one reason. So besides the fact that the XDA is broken for the Nook apparently I couldn't find a reason for the app because there isn't one.

With that being said I still use it on occasion while using my HTC Eris because its easier to navigate as opposed to the site because my phone is too damn small for a full website.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] lschroeder:
I found the free one now is easy to fix.

DizzyDean IMEI is on version 10.5 beta now. It makes an exe file that you run that downloads your serial number, the framework of the AOS that you are using, by using your adb usb or even easier adbWireless, and writes the framework with imei back automatically. Then you can login to the free XDA app and use their favorites and other feature.
