[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Megalo:
Yesterday I rooted my HTC Desire, installed ClockworkMod and flashed CM7.03 ROM on it. I though everything was working fine, until today, when I started noticing calls weren't getting through.

So I tried calling back, after I got a text message saying that someone had called but didn't leave a message. I couldn't get through. My Desire says 'Network busy,' but after trying a couple of times, the call eventually does come through. Data doesn't seem to have a problem, I can load webpages and apps seem to have a proper connection.

I've tried my SIM on another phone (an old Sony Ericsson G900), which doesn't seem to have these problems.

Obviously, I've rebooted a couple of times, put it in flight mode, tried to reregister to the network, but that didn't help.

Is there any solution that doesn't involve updating my radio or flashing CM7 again? Have I missed something completely obvious?

Some information that might help you help me:

It's a Bravo PVT4 (20.000, not 40.000, so flashing should've worked fine)

Hboot 0.93.0001

Radio: 5.11.05.27 (just updated to 5.17.05.23)

I hoped I wouldn't have to do that as I've read that this would be more risky than flashing and rooting. However, if there's no easier solution, I'll obviously try that. Thanks.

I als found a temporary solution. If I force it to exclusively connect to 2G instead of 3G, I no longer have problems with 'network busy.'

Edit: I've updated the Radio to 5.17.05.23, but it didn't solve the problem. Still getting 'network busy' on 3G.

My friend that moved from a droid x to a thunderbolt really likes smart keyboard pro.

It has a droid x skin, the keys can be resized, and it has an autocorrect list you can make, like every time you type "wehn" it can replace with "when".

I personally don't think it's as good as the best touch keyboards, mostly because I like more space between the keys for accuracy.

Hello guys,

Here it is as it showed up in my /sdcard/Download/ directory, but I don't know how you can force it to update without going through the actual OTA process.

[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
I havent looked at the file but couldnt you just rename it to pd98¿
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
No. It is an edify type update that contains a PD98IMG type update inside (called firmware.zip).

Even though it is an edify type update, it won't install from recovery unless you hack out some of the ASSERT checks (since recovery doesn't have all the getprop values that a running system has).
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Would it be possible to pull the information from the update part, and convert it to a hbkot update.

Just curious, if we were able to, id post it in the guide for easy reference.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BlackKnight:
How do you put the Inspire 4G into recovery mode? My Asus I can hold down the volume down key and power button to get a specific menu my Inspire doesn't.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
You're doing it wrong somehow then because that is exactly how you do it on the Inspire. Make sure fastboot is off in the settings though (Settings->power->fast boot).
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
What's an hbkot?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
hboot, I was typing on the phone and I have stupid fingers.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Not really. This update contains a number of "patch" files that use a method of updating files in-place by applying a patch that just replaces the parts of the file that changed. It's like a diff file is for text files, but it's binary. The only way I know of to apply these is through edify commands (or manually patching them on a PC first with bsdiff, see: http://linux.die.net/man/1/bsdiff).
[HTC Inspire 4G] BlackKnight:
I believe my phone may have been previously updated. What information lets you know it has?

i have noticed the back get hot from intense usage(this is perfectly normal)

but i dont think it should get heated in 10 minutes...

[HTC Desire S] .sh4d0w.:
You know what...

I initialy thought it's the battery heating up(probably is also), but when i moved the phone to my cheek a could actualy feel the screen emitting heat.

This happened after about 20 min of angry birds :D.

P.S. No force restart though, so nothing to worry about :)

maybe just reduce the backlight a bit?
[HTC Desire S] bestfan:
What?..45 degrees..my desire s haven't reach this temperature by my hand feeling
[HTC Desire S] .sh4d0w.:
Lol... why limit gaming to 5 minutes. 45 C is not much if you think what temp. nowdays procesors and other hardware can handle.

BTW my Desire also reached 45.C while gaming. So it's probably normal and the phone is made to handle this temp.

That never happened with the old Desire which just hit the reboot loop and fried the motherboard.

I wonder if there is a thermal cutout now?

well the back is aluminium so that's probably why it gets so hot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrometheanFire:
I'm designing an App with several layers of menus (on the screen, not from the menu button) which lead to several content pages each, so in total I'll be looking at probably 6 screens of Menu and about 30 content screens (just a picture, text and some buttons).

Should this be just 1 activity for the entire application and with each menu and content page loading a different layout xml? If so how do I do change the layout?

Or should each menu screen and content screen be its own activity as well as having it's own layout xml?

Thanks very much for any help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zappescu:
I usually use dialog box for simple user infos and I prefer activities to do something more complicated, but it's my opinion. I prefer activities because are simplier than using different dialog boxes or anything else, and so my code doesn't become an incredible mess :p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrometheanFire:
I don't think it would work to have dialog boxes to display buttons, like I need for my menus or content pages.

If I did only use 1 activity for it, what's the best way to redraw the layout from a different xml when you click a button? Just have the onClickListener call setContentView(R.layout.new_layout)?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zappescu:
Ok, I understand your needs. Unfortunately I didn't use a new layout in the same activity after a button click, it should be tested.

For my game, I have on the same screen different buttons, textviews, and imageviews that appears and disappears, even after a button click. I putted all of them in the same layout xml (one above the other, what a mess!) and I set the different visibility suitably the buttons clicks (the OnClickListener). It works for me because I have 7-8 items to manage, but maybe not so smart for a lot of different items.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tofira:
In general, Google recommends using different activities, I remember reading about it in the Dev Guide somewhere.

Although maybe your case is different.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micabyte:
The default recommendation of Google is to use activities. But it does depend on your usage - if everything you are doing is related to the same "activity" (for want of a better word), it may make good sense to keep everything in the same class.

You should also think about what behavior you would like the app to have. Do you want the user to be able to use the "BACK" button to step backwards in your menus? If so, it may make sense to implement this as multiple activities (which will give you this behavior for free), rather than implementing it manually.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrometheanFire:
I think I'm leaning towards activities as from all I've read it does seem to be best programming practice, it just seems a bit of a waste for me to have 1 activity just displaying a menu! However yes, it would be much easier to use activities then just have user press BACK to navigate backwards.

Also with having 1 activity just switching layout it would mean a massive onClick() 'switch' with at least 30 'cases'! I had thought about implementing my own Back button on the screen but that would be a pain to code.

Thanks for the replies, think I'll go with separate activities and see if it works ok, like I said my main concern was that it's a waste of an activity to have it do something so basic!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pidipius:
Maybe ViewFlipper will be useful?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrometheanFire:
ViewFlipper just seems to add an animation to changing the layout, no? I'm wondering whether I should just change the layout per screen or to start a new activity per screen.

I've worked it out and I've got 27 Menus, each of these is a ListActivity and 62 Content Pages (each of these is an activity calling a RelativeLayout and some onClick Listeners).

In total this is 89 activities, is this too many for one application? I like the idea of having a different activity per page as that means the user can just press the Back button on their phone to go back up the menus rather than coding in one myself. I've got it working with all the menus but only 1 content page and it's ok, but I can imagine that if I add the remaining 62 contents it may get bogged down?

But yeah, is this too many activities for one app? It is likely at a given time the user probably won't use more than 10 of them.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killersnowman:
trying to have a single Activity and then have it able to handle every layout you throw at it and its coorosponding functionality will be a nightmare. use multiple Activities. it will also make using the back button alot easier.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harfainx:
Why didn't you copy both files while doing it, or did it reboot as soon as you over-wrote your framework? One would assume that you need both of them copied (because the instructions say to).

Copying through root explorer with Android running could have been the problem. That's why the instructions have you issue a stop command first.

Rebooted as soon as i copied the framework.

(even trying to acces the uruk partition with a linux and recovery usb msc didn't work, only got to see my internal storage)
