Sensation conspiracy theory...

The problem for me is as follows:

I could get a sensation from vodafone at retail price since last week.

What scares me is that HTC hasnt made clear what they will do with the bootloader.

What if they provide an S-OFF only for the unbranded units that will start selling in Europe next week?

That will be a problem for me...

Maybe that is why they are keeping silent regarding the unlocking of the sensation's bootloader.

They could be waiting for the vodafone exclusivity to end.

The same could hold true for Tmobile as well....
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:
Any comments on this?
[HTC Sensation] agentaaron:
I already ordered the phone...so you know my vote. I dont mind waiting for a way to manually unlock the bootloader and install custom roms. Until that happens, i will still have a pretty awesome device...win/win
[HTC Sensation] lukexe:
I just picked up the phone last night...I couldn't hold out any longer. My G1 and HD2 were too outdated and I found this to be a worthy replacement (finally). I CAN wait for the S-OFF.
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:
Its going to be hard to wait for me too as soon as the sensation is sold unbranded in Europe...
[HTC Sensation] Fire Mars:
I totally agree! I love custom ROM's, but this phone is just awesome!
[HTC Sensation] djdant:
Yeah I'm going to wait.
[HTC Sensation] SupremeC281:
I'm trying to check for the "s-off" (volume down + power button) but its not doing anything.

This is something ive done before with previous phones. Don't know what's going on.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Menu-settings-power, uncheck fast boot
[HTC Sensation] M pro:
I'm in the same boat

Just been holding off till the exclusivity ends :/
[HTC Sensation] Squeaky369:
Bought mine today (Branded T-Mobile USA); and I love my MyTouch4G with Cyanogenmod on it...

We at least need to get temp root soon so we can get some of this damn T-Mobile bloatware off... Damn thing has more fat in it then container of pure lard.
[HTC Sensation] The_Biz:
I voted yes to waiting. But tbh, if it isn't unlocked soon, I'm just gonna wait for something else later. No point in buying it if there's a better phone coming soon after unlock.

Side note: It doesn't hurt me to wait, but it hurts HTC to take to long.
[HTC Sensation] salahag:
I'd love to get it but I'm waiting.. canceled my preorder.

Apart from the ability to customise OUR own phone as we wish I need root as paid applications are not available where I live. I also need to be able to backup and restore my data incase of a factory reset ... etc.

Let's see if that happens before a better phone is announced.
[HTC Sensation] Ghisy:
I'm still unsure. I bought the Incredible S a couple of months ago and sold it 3 weeks later because it was s-on and no root/s-off solution was coming up.

Now I'm torn between getting the Sensation when it's s-off or waiting for the European Evo 3D. I like the Sensation design better but Evo 3D has better specs.

I'm just keeping my good ol' Desire for now and see what happens during the Summer!
[HTC Sensation] AZbear:
Bought mine on Sunday 6/12. I don't mind waiting
[HTC Sensation] Bogdanbd:
The moment it arrives at vodafone romania I'll order it. I do not mind going stock for a while, i'm stock with my desire s and is oki.
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:
Hopefully it will get unlocked sooner or later

I just bought a micro hdmi cable for my arc, I connected the two things together and I almost shot myself in the head -> there are no subtitles shown on the TV but you can see them on the phone's display! :mad:

Anyone tried any other player which does show them on TV, or will I have to hard-burn subtitles into the movie?

I tried this with moboplayer.

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatsupnow:
Why do you want to read the movie?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jinx13:
Sorry to hijack your thread as this has nothing to do with your question but did you get it showing full screen on your TV?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiz1983:
erm im using vplayer, but its a paid apps n havent tried it yet on hdmi..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mercano:
If my native language was english, then I wouldnt mind about subtitles.

The movie was showing full screen, yes.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ucubz:
have you try another player? which movie format you'r trying to play?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mercano:
I tried Moboplayer, Rockplayer, Vitalplayer, all of them display subtitles on the phone, but not on the TV.

I only tried an mp4 file so far. Will try out further with different files.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mercano:
I tried xvid avi file with external subtitles (in moboplayer) and the phone was showing them on the TV screen! :)

It seems it is not showing them (external subtitles) if the video is mp4.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AShafiq3:
I use a TF700T, and I went into developer's options and disabled hardware overlays, then my screen basically mirrored to my tv, it works that way but I've been told to not keep it disabled, so once you are done watching, enable it again. Hope this helps.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SevenD2:
Dice player, I just tried it with a .mkv file and subtitles appear on the TV.

Even though in the settings it says it'll only work for some Samsung devices.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimmyScott:
hi,

i was wondering how to remove the HTC Hub on my phone

i have the HiApk sensefun GSv1.1 installed on my phone

its rooted and have the alpharev boot recovery installed,

and if it will have any long-term effect on my phone, since sense.com/htc hub isnt available for my desire nor do i think HTC would ever care to make it available

Regards

Jimmy S.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heraSK:
you can uninstall it via titanium backup.

for other methods i'm not sure. if you have root explorer installed you can see all .apk's in "system/sd/app_s" folder. but i don't know if you can uninstall it by just deleting it's .apk file, or is there more to it....:confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimmyScott:
i'll try with titanium, there is no ext partition for my ROM, and i have checked the app folder on the phone, and it isnt there... uninstalled alot of other HTC crap that way...

Edit:

titanium backup worked, thx alot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heraSK:
oh, right...maybe you should be s-off to see system folders...glad it worked...;)

but now i'm curious. can apps be uninstalled just by deleting .apk's from system/sd/app_s folder? i figured, better to ask if somebody knows this, before i try and sc**w up my rom and have to flash it all over again...;)

thx in advance...

p.s. sorry for hijacking your thread...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimmyScott:
yes it can be done, i found an application that can sign the package

so all i had to do was open zip archive, delete which apps i didnt want (i deleted mostly the theme's they take up around 8-9MB)and then just use an application called auto-sign to resign the zip archive

copy it to my phone, and just installing in recovery....

very easy...

HELP!!

I've got visionary+ installed on my dhd, i've got goldcard. I've temprooted....what now? Can i flash a rom or will that brick my phone??

And yes i know there are guides all over the place but i dont understand them.....can someone talk me through this in baby talk...thank you :)
[General Questions and Answers] ifyouwillit:
I'm pretty sure you shouldn't flash before permanent root
[General Questions and Answers] horsetastic:
It's all good now. Worked it out and now loving life. Perm rooted my dhd. Now running coredroid v7 and even flashed new radio......life is good. I'm a little hesitant to flash new themes though for some reason incase it all goes wrong. Also I'm sure coredroid v7 is meant to be running sense 3.0 and it still shows 2.1 on about phone? Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GZA1337:
Hi,

I am new to this forum and I hope I will find help here.

After I updated to 2.2 I removed the mtpApplication.apk from my phone because it crashed sometimes and was annoying...

I kept a backup of the apk and now I would like to restore the application to update to 2.3.3 via kies. I moved the apk back to system/app but I dont know how to get it running!

does anybody know how I can restore/start this application? I would like to update using kies and therefore it is necessary. Before I removed the app it was started on startup by system.

any suggestions on this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lttldvl:
Download nitrality from the market. That'll let you redownload and install it, along with other goodies.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lycan_codex:
i assume you are rooted, if no error popped up when you haved moved to /system/app, then select kies in USB settings. and connect to the system which has kies installed with proper drivers for your phone. this would start the app.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GZA1337:
@ lycan_codex

I also had the same thought after copying back the apk to system/app, but the application is not coming up although kies is set in usb settings.

@ lttldvl,

I've downloaded nitrality from the market and I could successfully restore the mtp app!!! thanks a lot!! However, it would be interesting why the app is starting, where it registered to launch at startup or when kies is running!?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lttldvl:
It should only start when you connect the phone to the PC. If its starting before that... I'm not sure how to correct that aside from task killing regularly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GZA1337:
I dont really care whether the process is running, I only need it to get the new 2.3.3 from kies. Everything looks good, kies provides me with the new update!

thank you very much!

[Xperia Play General] mehmehmen:
ok so i managed to get a tiny crack on my phone screen in the top right corner and iv only just got the phone recently so although iv changed my insurance over to this phone, because i changed the insurance after they sent it out to me i think the lady said i have to go to a shop for them to look at and inspect for insurance prposes. but if they notice the little crack i could end up between a rock and a hard place because phone companies as a rule are rubbishy people, especially with regards to insurance. does anyone here know of a good reliable trustworthy site for replacement screens for xperia play in the uk as my google searches and ebays have all come up with majorily american or other non uk countries. also i would like to know where i can learn about disassembling the phone to replace the screen manually myself and my searches have not returned anything that i found especially useful

[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
Ok so I've been looking around all over google and XDA for the correct way to install the usb drivers for adb and fastboot from sdk manager(r11) and there are no updated guides out there for the latest r11 sdk program... so here is my quick guide just to clearify how this is done on (Windows Vista/7) PC with Sdk r11!!!

Install Java and SDK

First Install Java jre, jdk... http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

install programs and restart if required...

Now go visit the SDK site and download latest version (r11).zip... http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Now unzip file directly to C: drive.. and rename folder to 'android'..

open 'android' folder and run 'sdkmanager.exe' install updates and packages than restart if neccessary..

ADB Driver install...

Now go to your device and enable 'usb debugging' located in settings>applications>development...

Now plug device into computer via usb and DO NOT mount device (storage) to computer!!

Now press START button on computer desktop..

Right-click on 'computer' and select properties..

Now select 'Device Manager' on upper left corner of newly opened window..

Look for device named 'Android' and open selection.. right click on under-link and select 'install drivers' or 'update drivers'...

Now select browse and go to this location than press ok..

C:/(sdk folder)/extras/google/usb_drivers

Now should say driver has been installed correctly..

Test method: Open CMD

cd/

cd (sdk folder)/platform-tools

adb devices

Should see device and number pop-up...

(ADB is located in Platform-tools folder now along with 2 .dll files needed for fastboot to work)

Fastboot Drivers Install

First powe off device, than power on holding (Back+Power)

Now plug usb cable from computer into device..

Do same exact method as 'ADB Driver Install' method..

(Fastboot drivers are located in same folder as ADB drivers)

Now to run fastboot mode in cmd prompt enter this..

cd C://

cd (sdk folder)/platform-tools

Should see device and number pop-up...

Alt method is to copy the 2 .dll files located in 'platform-tools' folder and paste them into 'tools' folder, than fast boot will run correctly off this in cmd prompt...

cd/

cd android/tools

fastboot devices

Should see device and number pop-up...

Also you could just go to ..

C:/android/extras/google in 'windows explorer'

and move the 'usb_drivers' folder to root of sdk folder (android) so then all the older guides out there for installing the drivers would actually kinda make sense.. lol

if i missed anything please feel free to add a comment!!
[G1 Android Development] MarcAntonyy:
Edited for brevity: I'm setting up a Galaxy Tab 10.1 Retail with a W7 64 machine.

I completed the ADB section of your guide just fine and went to the Fastboot section. It says to power on using back+power. When I hold power+down volume (only option?) I end up in CWM Recovery.

Should I just power on normally and finish the guide or is there something else I should do?

Thanks for the guide btw
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
well to install the fastboot driver you need to be in fastboot mode on your device... for the G1 it is back+power...
[G1 Android Development] MarcAntonyy:
Ok, I tried it again and I left out a detail (sry). When I power on with pwr+left vol it gives me two icons. One is an Android in a box, which takes me to recovery. The other is an icon that says 'Downloading'.

This time I went to it and now I'm at a screen which says

And then it has a big Android in the middle of the screen with

written under it.
[G1 Android Development] MarcAntonyy:
Ok, I hooked up the USB and went through the steps and typed in the first two commands and am now in CMD at:

C:\Android\platform-tools>

But when I type in the "..\tools\fastboot.exe devices" command it says its not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or bath file

Btw, after I connected the USB, I got an additional line of text under "Waiting for USB" that says "===> Connected! Press the [Start] of Odin3!!"

***Update

Ok, so I copied the .dll files into Tools and ran CMD again and this time I at least did not get that error message, but it displayed no output at all, other than to begin another prompt at:

C:\Android\Tools

And that's where I'm at now.
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
wel uhhmmm this guide is for the G1... lol im not really sure what downloading mode is... if that is your version of fastboot than just follow the B. Instructions for the ADB driver install... the directions are the same exact for both..
[G1 Android Development] MarcAntonyy:
Heh. Yeah its all good. I was able to install CWM and Root it, but I would like to get ADB/Fastboot working. Thanks for your help and patience with me :)
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
yeah no problem.. sorry if i couldnt help but the only thing i know is how to get it workin on G1 lol
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
i see many people on the G1 thread with sdk, adb and fastboot issues... FOLLOW THIS GUIDE!!! It is instructions for latest sdk Vr11... i promise this helps..

Thanks for the guide. Been trying to get ADB up & running on Vista with no success. I'll give this a try.

[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
did you manually install the drivers?

adb is acceses in platform-tools directory and fasboot is in tools directory.. the drivers for each are located in extras/google/usb_drivers

Hi,

I have the same problem:

I manually install the drivers choosen located in extras/google/usb_drivers on device manager

then it say cash: "windows did fond no driver for your device.

Verizon's Fix

So I just had that same issue and called Verizon because it's just annoying to deal with. Not to mention my signal has been horrid lately. So their fix was to sign into Talk than sign out, don't just close it, actually sign out. Then load the market and close it, wait about 45 minutes and try again, within a few hours the market should update itself. As that was the problem, I was running an older market, due to me going from a rooted phone to a non-rooted phone, then back again. Hope it helps!
[EVO 4G General] metalfan78:
Ill try that, I do have an older market version after a new rom install.

[EVO 4G General] monkeychef:
If that doesn't work, can you tell me if you have any programs that stop certain programs from starting such as startup auditor? Sometimes that is the issue.
[EVO 4G General] metalfan78:
So far that hasn't worked, I don't have any apps like that

We're comin from a pure power source.
[EVO 4G General] jayharper08:
Move all the apps that you have on your SD card to your phone memory. Then you will want to delete the "android_secure" folder and reboot. Once you reboot you can move everything back and when you start downloading again it will create a new folder. Sounds like it got corrupted. As long as you move your apps to phone memory first before you delete that folder you wont lose anything.

Hi to all devs, I have HTC Desite PVT4 S-on unrooted vith stock rom 2.29.405.5

When updating system apps via market i waste lot of space for other apps.

Ex.

Latest Adobe Flash 11.9 MB must be on phone memory

Latest Maps 10.2 MB must be on phone memory

Latest Facebook 4.8 MB must be on phone memory

Latest Gmail 4.6 MB must be on phone memory

Latest Market 3.5 MB must be on phone memory

Latest Youtube 1.3 MB must be on phone memory

Total wasted space 36.3 MB

Is possible to install on system partition?

How much free space have system Partition?

If it is possible steps please.

Thanks
[Desire General] Meaple:
Why not just move them to your SD card? Go Settings > Manage Applications.
[Desire General] arewenotmen:
Yes, you are wasting space because you now have the original app and the updated one.

Yes, it is possible to install on the system partition, and delete the original one too. Yes there is space.

No, you cannot do this without rooting. Root with unrevoked and then either move them manually or pay for Titanium Backup Pro and use that to do it. Plenty on here to help you so I'm not going to detail the steps.
[Desire General] decmk:
Thanks for info.

Need s-off?

I have titanium pro I can see where to move :

You need to root your phone, then get S-OFF +, and load new HBOOT partition table.

Yes have all that .. ( see my sig ) ... still not there ...it's ok .. I have moved some more system stuff over .. just not flash grrr .....
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
As far as i know, that's not possible.
[Desire General] j5m:
it is possible. it's one of the notable benefits of Teppics rooted froyo rom. he would provide zip files that update the system version of the apps while removing the dat/app version.

I tried the titanium back up pro method. it didn't work for me. But I guess that is because I am s-on. Can anyone confirm that reasoning for me?

Piece of advice - avoid the cheap and no-name brands. I fell into that trap and wound up with three cards that "went bad" -- while workable in a computer, they caused no end of problems in my phone (Droid X at the time). Go with the well-known brands: Kingston, Sandisk, Lexar.
