@duramajin you'll have to be careful in a quite place because turn of the head could pull them out and sound would be coming out of laptop speakers.... I've just resorted to BT headphones.... SE HBH-IS800 are quality and really small.
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
No issues here. My portable speakers, my headphones I use on my ipod, everything works in my play. It's just a standard jack.
[Xperia Play General] crispyduckling:
yes a good idea,

if you get a BT adaptor you dont have to worry about what headphones u use

as they work with all normal audio jack earphones
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
Just tried two sets of headphones. No issues.
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
Must be something wrong with my phone then.
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
As he said, it must be something with the OP's headset.

My skullcandy's, samsung headset, and a pair of RCA's all work just fine on my play.

[Wildfire General] grifo07:
Hey guys,

I was just wondering. When this AlphaRev thing is released, and I set my Wildfire S-OFF, will I be able to use SIM card from any carrier? Right now I'm able to use SIM card from only one carrier.

Thanks.
[Wildfire General] kmdm:
Nope.

+tenchars, etc...
[Wildfire General] deezykhara:
im not 100% sure but i can use any sim card after getting s-off from xtc clip so it should happen
[Wildfire General] cspiliakos:
The xtc clip produces a Gold card that unlocks the carrier-locked phone, the alpharevx produces only an s-off, meaning that you can install custom roms, recovery, permanent root etc.
[Wildfire General] DeletedUser99284:
XTC Clip does both S-OFF and SIM unlock while AlphaRev does ONLY S-OFF.
[Wildfire General] bx19:
Is there a difference between sim unlock and carrier unlock.

Of course i don't need it, but just asking to know....
[Wildfire General] lokeshramesh:
AFAIK, There's no difference between carrier unlock and sim unlock..

One more thing i think u can unlock carrier using debranding method given in this forum. That means downgrading/changing region of current ROM. Its not that much difficult. It requires gold card i think. There's one easy method let me try to explain it.

1. Follow all steps in changing ROM region/debranding/downgrading.

Eg- If u've France or India or any regional ROM downgrading it to WWE Rom.

2.IMP- Here's the trick to unlock the carrier:

Follow steps on downgrading till editing the mtd0 with HxD or Hex editor.

In that u may find something like HT_031 or something it depends on region, change that to 000000 that called super cid.

After changing changes to mtd from above and the downgrading guide follow the guide as usual.:)

I hope this may help you to unlock carrier. I dont know but u may try it.
[Wildfire General] DeletedUser99284:
No. Debranding and SIM unlock are NOT the same thing.

Debranding (for example, by goldcard) removes network operator customisations by installing generic software, but you still cannot use a SIM card from another network.

SIM unlock can be only done using special methods as of now (XTC Clip, any third party mobile phone shop) and it enables you to use whichever SIM card you want, but you can keep your branding if you like (ROM doesn't have to match the operator, AFAIK)
[Wildfire General] ErwinP:
When you are in hboot, you can see the option "sim lock". Is it trough that your phone becomes sim locked (and unlocked)? And if yes, is it something we can manage ourselfs? It would be a great security for the phone against thieves :-)

Thank you in advance!

Erwin
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
According to jkoljo in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1014046

Which means the option does nothing unless you have carrier-specific files on your SD card. Files which carriers use to sim-lock the device I presume.

I am debating doing an article on this and making it a new "feature." Thoughts?

Junkdruggler has been active on here, and has made several quality ADW Themes you can get in the Market, free and paid. He had a little girl last night.

My thought was that it would be cool to have a place where developers could announce life's new additions and if people wanted to help them out, they could go buy an app or two in the market...

I may add this to the blog I do... do you think it would be worthy? Regardless, please go check out junkdruggler's work in the Market:

I flashed the 2.3.3 rooted/deodexed stock rom the day it came out onto my Evo. I also did the radios update. Since then I've been having some poor signal strength issues. At my office I used to consistently have 4 to 5 bars (even with leaked gingerbread rom), now it will move between none but still connected to 4 or 5. Generally it stays lower though. At my apartment I always had somewhat low signal but never dropped calls. Now I have a hard time keeping calls connected unless I go to a certain spot in my apartment.

I didn't see a flood of complaints on this so I'm guessing it's more just me. Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JynxRD:
Only thing I can think is to update your PRL. I haven't noticed any change in signal strength myself, still weak where it used to be weak and still strong where it used to be strong.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swapnil:
What you could probably use is a VNC server on your device and then connect to it via a VNC Viewer on your PC.

Something like this should work: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.onaips.vnc&feature=search_result

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinayp:
Cant this be done without rooting?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00Ghz:
Try connecting to the HDMI pc port. Every modern gfx card has one. After that just select on your tv HDMI as source
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SPIDERTECH:
You could just use android screencast. I normally just use it for my cell phone, but I connected my xoom to it and it works with that too. You need to have the android sdk installed and the xoom has to be detected by adb first before it will work. The keyboard works, but I haven't been able to get mouse control to work with the xoom. The menu buttons in screencast work though.

It's a little slow, but it's free and works for giving control through the PC. There is also an app called WebKey that you can get from the market, but you have to have a rooted device.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinayp:
ya, i tried the screencast, but for some reason the abd couldnt see my Xoom.. is urs rooted?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
You have to turn on USB Debugging first, goto Settings -> Applications and then there should be a USB Debugging option under there.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsterin:
I had the same issue. You need to nvflash to base recovery first. After that, copy recovery folder and update.zip. If it will stuck, go to recovery (CWM at this point) and do factory reset.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anymoose:
My only hold up to updating to rooted Gingerbread is that Lotus Traveler does not seem to work with it (running 8.5.2); I had to flash back to Froyo because I need work e-mail. Has anyone been able to get their Notes data to sync with their Gingerbread EVO via Traveler? Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vdubtx:
Hadn't tried to load it since going to GB, but will try and report back.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vdubtx:
Tried it and it installs fine, but not able to sync or open Mail.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anymoose:
That is my experience too. Co-worker has a Droid X with GB and Traveler works fine. I flashed a nonsense ROM and it worked. So . . . seems to be a Sense issue. Anyone have any great ideas about what GB Sense would do to block communication with a remote server that Froyo Sense did not?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corynat:
Not positive about this, but I think Traveler uses Activesync and you can use Touchdown to get your Notes mail.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevlar3d:
I am running CM7 and having no issues using traveler. Sync options are set to 1 hour for non peak and 15 minutes for peak.

The only thing is that lotus traveler security installs itself as a device administrator

Settings/Location&Security/Select Device Administrators

I deselected that option, now each time i manually click the "mail" program (not when i open / read email) I get a reminder "activate device administrator" which i just hit "cancel" to.

A bit scary, grants access to:

Erase all data - Erase the phones data without warning by performing a factory data reset

Change the screen-unlock password - change the screen-unlock password

Set Password Rules - control the length and the characters allowed in screen - unlock passwords

Monitor screen unlock attempts - Monitor the number of incorrect passwords entered when unlocking the screen and lock the phone or erase all the phones data if too many incorrect passwords are entered

Lock the screen - control how and when the screen locks.

Probably fine- i just dont trust my company enough to give them this sort of access.

But yeah, I have been running it for over a month with no issues.

EDIT - I should add- traveler version 8.5.2 FP2
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xviiivx:
I had no problems running traveler with cm7, but our admin pushed out some security policies that required having to use a pin to unlock my phone. I uninstalled and haven't used it since. I don't miss it at all because I'm absolutely LOVING the new Lotus Launcher 2 (in the market)... it now syncs your notes calendar to your gmail calendar so I can finally get meeting alerts on my phone... which is the only reason I was even interested in traveler.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xviiivx:
I just remembered.. when I upgraded from froyo to cm7, I did have to uninstall/reinstall traveler before it worked. Did you try that? I know for sure clearing cache/data did not help.. and my admin said that he had to do the same when he upgraded his phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anymoose:
I was able to get Traveler working with CM7 and Beck's nonsense GB ROM, but not rooted stock GB or Myn's Synergy - which is why I believe it is a Sense issue. Which is odd because Traveler works fine on Froyo Sense; but I do not know what changes HTC makes for Sense.

I am hoping to figure this out because Sense ROMs run more smoothly on my phone, and I really really really really want to ditch the BlackBerry permanently and really really really don't want to switch to an iPhone (my company's only two officially supported devices). :(

The intrusive permissions are a necessary evil in my biz.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anymoose:
I did, thanks - also ran "fix permissions" just in case. It seems to be a Sense/Nonsense issue. My Droid X co-worker (nonsense, obviously) is having no trouble running Traveler with GB. :mad:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevlar3d:
My company's only supported and company issued device is the blackberry, I have a blackberry curve 9300 sitting on my kitchen counter at home with the calls forwarded to my android. My only issue is when coworkers send BBM's (black berry messenger) I am sometimes left out of the loop since there is no way to forward those along to my android. I love the keyboard and battery life on the blackberry, aside from that its such a weak device for anything beyond a standard phone call.

So far, traveler has freed me from the shackles of the 'berry.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anymoose:
As a follow-up, in case anyone wonders, I ended up going with Deck's GB AOSP ROM. It is fast, clean, mod-able, and everything works (including Traveler). I am happy to give up Sense if it means I can also give up the BlackBerry! ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CDKJudoka:
I am glad I came across this thread. I just started at a new job and they use Lotus notes. I don't want another Crackberry as I hate carrying two phones and my company only recently stated that we can use Traveller on Android phones. They wanted us to buy and use iPhones >:( but I have talked my boss into getting a Nexus S for himself and I am getting the Evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vdubtx:
Good to know. Work can just reach me on the POS crackberry they just got me. BB Torch. It's OK, but after a year of being on Android, it is light years behind the user experience Android is.

They say that HTC Desire memory doesn't support Sense and 2.3. As usual, the smart guys around here proved that it does work ;)
[Desire General] EddyOS:
It doesn't have the memory for it, we know that. The Devs have proved it can run it but only using EXT partitions on the SD card which Google won't use as the average user won't know how to make one

Quote:

"Our teams of engineers have worked hard in recent months to update the Gingerbread HTC HTC Desire without compromising Sense experience that you have grown accustomed to our phones. However, we are sorry but we must assume that there is enough memory to allow portability and storage Gingerbread experience on HTC HTC Sense Desire. We are very sorry for the disappointment that this news will cause many of you."
[Desire General] Lothaen:
So... They say it will stick on froyo or update with old sense?
[Desire General] 3f1f37:
So its true ...

On a lighter note...

XDA Desire DEVS RULE, you know who you are snq-, NeoPhYte.x360, RCTeam, BaadNwz, CoolExe and anybody body else i cant think of now.

[Desire General] Lothaen:
So HTC say that the phone can't run Gingerbread and Sense - but the leaked one did...?

so why not leave the old sense on and update the phone - or better yet - update it to the latest version of Froyo and fix the bugs with the HTC mail etc. so that it can work with Hotmail EAS...

little things would be nicer than squat... even though I'm not going to use it :)
[Desire General] andQlimax:
Well, this is my first and last htc device.

[Desire General] nickislauw:
this is bull**** guys!!

the wildifre S has the same amount of memory and runs gingerbread and sense 2.1 and even with the 3.0 lockscreen!!!! :mad: their just as lazy as ****
[Desire General] Thermaltake868:
I am so f.... mad right now, was waiting for this f.... gingerbread and now he wont come... I wont buy HTC phone anymore just becouse this tease. And I am going to tell all my friends not to buy any of their products anymore.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
That's a shame - I do like HTC's phones and the only thing that let this phone down was the low internal memory situation, and their excuse for this too.

I'd buy another but i'd be a little cautious about it next time.

My Blackstone/Touch HD is still working very well, and that hasn't had any updates for ages but it looks like a NAND image may be coming soon for it which will spring some life into it again...

So the Desire is far from dead as the dev's here can perform miracles sometimes... :)

still plan on keeping my phone for the remainder of this year at least with the hopes that the custom roms keep me going!
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Wow, a lot of fickle people on this forum...

Guys, we were never guaranteed updates from HTC at any point. The fact we got FroYo was because it was the top line device at the time. You can't compare the Wildfire S to the Desire. The Desire is over a year old, the Wildfire is less than a month old - of course it'll get a new version.
[Desire General] nickislauw:
but then its bull**** if they say its the 'memory', just say ITS TOO OLD TO UPDATE! .

just be honest HTC!!!! dont come with lies!
[Desire General] andQlimax:
I know no one guaranteed the update..and also don't care so much because the are the custom roms..

But anyway nothing good in htc for me..That just my opnion
[Desire General] Soulfly999:
absolutely agreed! It's a shame... :mad:
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I mentioned before that the Google I/O stated that manufacturers should put the latest version on phones if the hardware can cope - if that applies here then that is a great get-out-clause for not upgrading the desire..

although - we do know that HTC worked on it - see leaked rom.
[Desire General] nickislauw:
their just to lazy man!!
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
... but don't forget; when desire came to the market (April 2010) it came with v2.1 eclair, then abt 4 months later, upgraded to 2.2 froyo whereas SE-X10 came with 1.6 (donut) almost at the same time with the desire and upgraded to eclair in November or December 2010, on the other side, Samsung Galaxy-S came with eclair in summer 2010, upgraded to froyo just two or three months ago (know that it will receive GB too soon).. shortly I cannot blame or judge HTC with that; when I decided to buy my Desire, it was the best choice to date (April 2010). Now the only way to root and step into the cooked rom world.

Cheers!
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
hiehheh.. that's already what I do at least once a day;

didnt they said it'd be a week or two before any STATUS updates are released (on fb)
[Desire General] x潮騒x:
Actually i didnt want to sound anti-root, as im pretty happy with a rooted, custom rom desire myself. On the other hand, i just wanted to state, that rooting isnt the solution to everything as some people seem to believe. I know snq is doing really a really great job. Still, as long as HTC release official updates with new drivers and everything, it makes our desires better - even if they are rooted and dont run sense at all.

As for me, im looking forward to e.g. a camcorder, where i have more options to chose than just Hiqh Quality and Youtube (whatever that is exactly).
