Htc is f**k they are always said that. I realy disapointed was bought their product.
[Wildfire General] NexusCrazy:

Gingerbread 2.3.3 one Click ROOT via GingerBreak V1.2, anyone tried this on xperia ARC !!

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dream_fun:
great that a new gingerbreak is coming for more easy way to root the arc. He said it is still has some bugs which they will fix in the coming days
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
GingerBreak 1.2 was available ages ago, way before the 2.3.3 update.

GingerBreak will not work on 2.3.3, the exploit it makes use of has been patched, GingerBreak will never work on any update after 2.3.2.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperiax10.awesome:
Is it? did you checked the youtube video!!

from Xperia Arc 2.3.3 (still not rooted)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
The exploit that GingerBreak uses was patched by Google in 2.3.4 but SE patched it in their 2.3.3 release for the Arc and Play.

So whilst GingerBreak can root other handsets running 2.3.3, it cannot be used to root the Arc on 2.3.3.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] refract:
Why the **** does Google even try so hard to disable root access for people who are using their OS ? I just don't get it, it'd be like disallowing Windows users access to registry, aka such a pointless restriction.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
They don't.

It's a security hole that they patched up for other reasons and it just happens to disable this one particular method for rooting handsets.

There are other ways of rooting phones that are unaffected.

If memory serves, GingerBreak uses the same vulnerability that causes user information to be transmitted unencrypted when using unsecured wireless networks.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverwind:
Thanks for the enlightenment..... :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveybaby:
It's still possible to have rooted 2.3.3 using gingerbreak, you have to downgrade to 2.3.2, root using gingerbreak, then re-upgrade to 2.3.3 via OTA, which retains root.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
That's not the same as being able to root 2.3.3 using GingerBreak though.

No, still waiting for a one click method, as I don't own a windows computer I can't use those programs to flash, right? I really miss my font and the uot kitchen...

Hey hows optimus 2x??

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PollPixx:
A bit off topic, but lg is awesome as well, as long as there is no easy way to root the arc I am using the lg more and more. Just look at that lg section over here at xda, there are so much flavors to try...

Starting to hate gb ota. System keeps closing sense after using one or two apps. It's pissing me off, anyone else have this or know any fixes? Thanks.

End of line.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
Have you tried clearing cache/dalvik And fix apk mismatched in recovery? And I would clear apps' caches

Other than that, Titanium Backup and do a full wipe and go to a dev's ROM, like Steel's or TI-X or Fresh which are based off the OTA and enjoy some nice extra features.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlechner:
What's the fix apkmissmatch?

End of line.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
In Amon Ra recovery, select 'other'. Then choose 'fix uid apk mismatches' (it's something close to that, there's only one or two options in the 'other' section. you'll see it)

Which OTA rom are you currently using?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlechner:
Official rooted. For some reason recovery can't mount dalvik.

[HD2 General] purezerg:
anyone realise the original htc charger charges faster? especially now with those 4xusb port chargers.

i just did a simple test

test1

4xport 2ah + original htc cable = 150+mah

original charger + original cable = 800mah

test2

4x port 2ah + seagate dual usb cable but pluged in the 'power' cable + mini<->micro converter = 150+mah

original charger + same cable as above = 150mah

test3

4x port 2ah + seagate cable but the data usb head + mini <-> micro converter = 150mah

original charger + same cable + converter =800mah

i believe that the data pins are also supplying power aka pins 2 and 3.

i'm going to test pins2 and 3 with a multi meter when i get back to office.

i have tried 3 different brands of 4xusb chargers. only one of them charges @ 800mah.
[HD2 General] motoi_bogdan:
please note that the hd2 implies constant voltage/variable current charging algorithms. This means that for a constant charge voltage of 4.2 volts, the charge controller will draw more current if the battery is at 10% then if it's at 90%.

Also, take note that the hd2 has 2 charging modes. The charge controller takes about 850-900mA at max. but as a standard usb port only supplies 500mA, the phone "senses" if it's plugged into a usb port and lowers the max drawn current to anywhere between 100-400mA in order to protect the usb port. The switching between the 2 modes is made by the presence of the usb data pins. If a voltage of about 0.9 to 1.7 volts is present on the data pins and GND, the phone thinks it's plugged into an usb port and will never draw more then 100-400mA. In order to charge as fast as possible, you need to apply power only to the Vcc and GND terminals, without connecting the data pins from the phone (2 and 3) to anything
[HD2 General] purezerg:
ok, tested, i soldered pin 2 and 3 on the charger. hd2 is now drawing 900ma
[HD2 General] motoi_bogdan:
that's the most you'll get from it :D
[Acer Iconia A500] orinoko:
I use my tablet at work to play music etc via the Honeycomb Music app. Its nice and simple to use but I absolutely hate the fact that there are no lock screen controls for the Music app.

I dunno, it just seems silly that in order for me it change to the next track, I have to turn on the tablet, unlock the tablet, then change the track...

Of course I've Google this issue but no one has an answer... no ones even said anything. Am I really the only person who actually likes tthe honeycomb music player, but needs the lock screen controls?

Does the lock screen have some kind of API that would allow development to create a widget of some sort that can control the music app?
[Acer Iconia A500] scottw714:
Most of the players on the market have that option.

I use Power Amp because it has a phenomenal equalizer.
[Acer Iconia A500] shreyasvb:
Use Winamp...it has d lock screen controls n its one f d best!! N moreover its free! :)
[HTC Incredible S] rishabh mittal:
can any existing user of INCREDIBLE S let me know that does the phone hangs or slow down when you install applications or use stuff installed on an external memory card as it has just 1.1 gb internal memory....

PLZ HELP

I like this phone but just one doubt abt it...
[HTC Incredible S] djbenny1:
Mine hangs pretty badly when downloading and installing new apps but as soon as they're installed its back to normal again. apart from that nope nothing I can think of.
[HTC Incredible S] neo-X:
I experience slow down aswell when installing apps but i think that's normal because its CPU intensive.
[HTC Incredible S] rishabh mittal:
mainly i want to know dat in normal condition and in case of fully loaded memory card does it work well...
[HTC Incredible S] wpra3:
+1, happened to me as well, it slows like hell when I update lots of my outdated apps, even if im running at 1.7ghz
[HTC Sensation] Xcor3:
Okay this is really not big deal, but just though I'd tell you guys and ask y'all have the same thing on your sesation phone

When I press the screen hard, but not like its going to damage the screen, when I do, the screen or the back cover casing don't seem to be tight enough that its like loose.

Anyone here has this going on their sensation?
[HTC Sensation] Fire Mars:
Why would you want to press the screen hard?
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
It's not even that. I know what he's talking about. Say you hold the phone and squeeze it slightly, it'll have a little give to it & will creak. Mine does the same thing. It's my only annoyance with the phone.

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] kfgtboypsp:
Just pressed my screen like you said it. Yeah it does make a little squeak. Like you said its not a big deal. So dnt worry about.
[HTC Sensation] Xcor3:
Yes, it is annoying and it bothers me.
[HTC Sensation] alexp999:
I noticed it, but it doesn't really bother me anymore.
[HTC Sensation] abuserkadayf:
open the battery case..put some thin paper in the battery cover..and begone creaking
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
that's about the only thing that'll work. My guess is the extra room is there in case the battery expands for some odd reason. I just block it out of my mind & scream LALALLALALALALALA when it happens. :D
[HTC Sensation] alfa71omega:
Like in the old motorola .... :cool:
[HTC Sensation] Robboftw:
Yes, this is a bit annoying.
[HTC Sensation] Knucklessg1:
The louder the creak the better

They made the battery cover just a little higher than the battery because after years of using your phone and charging your battery, the battery begins to expand. Its to accommodate the expansion of the battery after a year or so of using your phone. Be happy to hear it!
[HTC Sensation] Robboftw:
Are you sure? It would have to expand quite a bit.

I've put a piece of paper in mine for now, fixes the problem nicely and doesn't affect signal or wifi strength (I was worried it might).

It's a bit ridiculous but I rarely remove the back.
[HTC Sensation] dj75728:
I have it too, not too concerned about it or anything though.
[HTC Sensation] Knucklessg1:
You can leave the paper in it for now, but ever 4-5 months or so, pull out the battery and spin it on a flat surface, if it spins, your battery is swelling, which usually comes with age. I'd say after about 1 1/2 years you can buy a new battery if you really need to, but for now, your good!
[HTC Sensation] Robboftw:
I'll keep that in mind for the future then, interesting.
[HTC Sensation] MattMJB0188:
Yup I have the issue also. Actually after reading this thread, I wouldn't say its an issue but perhaps a manufacture glitch. Guess we just have to deal with it.
[HTC Sensation] mcp2009:
Had this issue with my sensation. When I pressed the bottom right of the screen it creaked and clicked like there was a gap or the battery cover wasn't on the whole way. Funny thing was this started a couple days after having the phone and didn't do this at first. Just exchanged today and new one has no probs atm
[HTC Sensation] MattMJB0188:
Actually for me, the only creaking sound I hear is when I press the buttons on the bottom, especially the home button. But I have to press it kinda hard and towards the bottom left.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
update us in a week if it comes back. Mine started out fine & now has the creaking
[HTC Sensation] Tylormde:
I have the black gel skin on mine and I don't have any creaking. That's an option too if you like gel skins. I have to have one. Too worried I'll drop this gorgeous phone.
[HTC Sensation] lilcleo001:
I have the squeaking/cracking. When I press the lower right of the screen. I got my phone from Walmart here in Cali. A friend got one for his dad and bro from t-mobile. He said his don't have this issue.

I contacted HTC and they said to exchange it for a new one with Walmart. If the problem continues to contact HTC.
[HTC Sensation] mcp2009:
Let the phone sit taken apart all day (see this) an now the battery cover clicks again. Calling T-Mobile to get a replacement
[HTC Sensation] rfalcon103:
I have touch screen problems. Sometimes it wont respond to me trying to answer a call. Another glitch is that the icons of apps moved to sd card lose the icon and goes to the generic android icon.
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
about the icons things...its not a glitch, its a google/android thing. ur prolly new to android im guessing, but when you install apps in the sd you do lose its icon, just something your gonna have to get used to if ur gonna do that.
[HTC Sensation] rfalcon103:
Im not new I had the G1 with ginger yoshi, and that didnt happen. Thanx for the info. I also have another glitch an annoying you have voicemail notification, even though I have no voicemails. that happened after swithching sim cards for the one that came with the phone. My wife was having signal problems and i read somewhere to switch to new sim cards. 2 dif phones same problem.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
for the voicemail icon go to Settings>Call>Clear Voicemail Notification
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
You're right, it shouldn't be happening. If you install something to the SD card or move it the icon shouldn't disappear after a reboot. If you delete it and recreate it after a reboot it will just disappear again. The same thing happened on my Vibrant using a custom rom, and the dev listed that in the "bugs list".
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
This is my third exchange phone for various reasons and this one has creaking/squeaking... I feel really bad, but I do want to return it for one that does not do this! Should I just suck it up? or should I make use of my 14 day return policy and get a new one (which ends in 2 days).
[HTC Sensation] rfalcon103:
thnx for the info. I will try with my wife's phone since I had to call customer service to clear it.
[HTC Sensation] Electronic Punk:
Is it the general line of thought that the problem is the battery panel?

Just ordered an official replacement so hoping I am not wasting money - :D
[HTC Sensation] deliriousbb:
On 3rd Sensation

I've had 3 sensations to date. The first one was good for the first week, but after I installed a Skinomi skin, the phone started to have the squeaking sound when I pressed the right side, and afterwards pressing the left side it would do the same. Basically, it has loosened up on the sides which makes it rock from side to side. My 2nd phone had problems with the power button. It was too recessed into the case that it made it very difficult to press. Especially it being the primary button to push to unlock the phone.

I am on my 3rd phone now and atm is ok. The screen doesn't creek yet. the power button is ok. the volume rocker seems steady and not loose.

i'll update you on how this one goes later.
[HTC Sensation] deliriousbb:
I returned the 3rd Sensation and I am on my 4th now. This one is definitely better. The screen is responsive and the overall build quality is excellent. I just hope it stays this way. Keep you updated if anything changes.
[HTC Sensation] haririan:
htc sensation 4 primary button problem

is there any way to disable or make lower sensitivity on those 4 primary button (home,menu,back,search) ?

i had many problem with those 4 buttons , many times i had mistake with click on it
[HTC Sensation] haririan:
any ideas ?
[HTC Sensation] glynnder:
This might be a total fluke, but my phone creaks when the stock HTC battery is installed, but with the Anker batery [which I do believe is a shade thicker] it doesn't creak whatsoever.

According to him the 3d effect is better on the Evo ::)

And the Evo looks way nicer Imo
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Lol lg is only running froyo?
[HTC EVO 3D] mmace:
the 3D effect on the Optimus is depth rather than "coming out of the screen", this is better for those who get headaches apparently, but that's down to personal preference. I think the Optimus looks nicer, but again, it's down to personal preference

yes, it is with no mention of if/when an upgrade is coming
[HTC EVO 3D] erikivy:
Is that tape on the 3D? Doesn't everyone know the phone is on sprint already?
[HTC EVO 3D] Ruki_Uki:
I like the EVOs looks better :) but I do like the gallery feature better on the Optimus. It's pretty cool. I think HTC should've made it more like that in Sense 3.0

HTC EVO = my best friend
[HTC EVO 3D] mmace:
there's no 3D menu at all on the EVO which I think is an oversight, it's only a little thing but it gives the phone a little "wow" factor. It also makes me think HTC won't be pushing for 3D content from 3rd parties as much as LG will (the LG has a 3D menu for all their 3D stuff [gallery, games, youtube, camera etc])
[HTC EVO 3D] vWvSTATICvWv:
Let's get it ported :D
[HTC EVO 3D] peacekeeper05:
I have the optimus 3D and would like to test out the evo 3D cause i want to give a 3D phone as a gift to my father and the optimus 3D launch date is still not clear. So the evo 3D would be a great alternative. I actually like the 3D space(3D gallery) on the optimus. Adds another level of wow factor whenever i use it when im on a public place. And makes organizing 3D content very easy...Wish to see it get ported..
[HTC EVO 3D] mmace:
released 8th July in UK, no sign of Evo 3D over here though. The Optimus 3D may be importable?

Not sure how the Evo works (I've asked HTC but no reply) but the Optimus can view JPS taken by itself as well as MPO (the Evo's 3D format of choice) so photos will be interchangeable at least in 1 direction
[HTC EVO 3D] notown775:
so if everyone is complaining about how awful the 3d effect is on the evo is.. what will they say about the LG ..hmmm

sent from my back pocket using an EVO
[HTC EVO 3D] mmace:
plenty of reviews around as well as 3D videos and 3D photos taken with the phone, take a look. No-one's really slagged it off like they have the Evo yet. Still waiting for UK/Euro news on the Evo 3D, HTC don't seem to like giving anything away so I haven't even seen the phone in the flesh over here.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ruki_Uki:
I too have a feeling there won't be many apps and features for 3D stuff. Don't her me wrong, I love this phone and can't wait to get it in 6 days, but I kinda feel like HTC made the phone and pushed it out just to have another "first" under their little. I hope they make it useful because I honestly don't see myself using the 3D too much.

HTC EVO = my best friend
[HTC EVO 3D] peacekeeper05:
Plenty of people already expressed the goodness of 3D on the optimus. Aaron from phonedog said the 3D on optimus is better than the evo. I have one and as you can see im very impressed on the depth on the 3D... but the release date for the optimus3D has been pushed 3x now and im a bit furious i want a 3D phone now so that my gf and my father(in arizona) can enjoy 3D goodness too. Wish the evo 3D supports mpo files cause ill be sending pics from my optimus to my father there in the US.
[HTC EVO 3D] mmace:
Yeah, I can imagine LG getting more content from publishers, they already have an LG store on the phone and I can imagine exclusive 3D films/trailers etc coming very soon. I don't think HTC will push companies/publishers for that.

Oh, and there's no first from HTC with this, the Optimus is already released to the public in Korea, making that the worlds 1st consumer 3D phone. It may be the 1st in the US, but that's only a very small percentage of the world so can't really be classed as a "1st"
[HTC EVO 3D] peacekeeper05:
Optimus already had partneship with youtube 3D, gameloft, some AR 3D technology coming to it and other devs to develop for optimus 3d. I haven't really heard anything concrete from htc regarding their future plans for the evo 3D other than releasing a 3D sdk... hope both companies will continue to support these devices, cause after using an optimus 3D im in love with it now and looking forward to see more applications that will take advantage of the 3D. I know 3D is not that important but it is at least very fun to use
[HTC EVO 3D] x7nofate:
can htc evo 3d run this 3d games like lg optimus 3d? nova 3d, asphalt 3d etc?
[HTC EVO 3D] mmace:
if they work with people like Gameloft like LG did then yeah, there's every possibility.
[HTC EVO 3D] vWvSTATICvWv:
There was a discussion about who's first blah blah over on AC. Someone came in and said Japan has had 3D phones since December. So LG nor HTC can say they're first.
[HTC EVO 3D] marinos2000:
what do you think about gpu's of this phones ? PowerVR SGX540 or adreno 220 ?
[HTC EVO 3D] daGUCCI:
seems Amazon.co.uk stating release date for Optimus 3D on 21st of July, nothing yet about EVO 3d
[HTC EVO 3D] daGUCCI:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewart30:
Hi

I was previously running MIui ROMs with D2we script and S-on.

Have just had issues with my SD ext not mounting for wipes and on so I am effectively starting from scratch.

So I am going to go down the route of S-off etc but am unsure of the whole selection of H-boot and rom to choose.

Basically I am looking for a Stable rom preferably with sense (at least 2.1 and ginger) and apps2sd.

So hopefully a kind person with experience of some ROMs and h-boots can assist.

Also I you can suggest partition sizes for my memory card (class 6 8 GB)

Thanks much.

(Working today so can only respond at break times)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsheps83:
I dont know much about rooting but i used supernova rom and its great much quicker than the 2.2 froyo i was running
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
Try RcMixS v2.0, it's Gingerbread with mix of Sense 2.1 and 3.0.

You need 1gb+ ext2/3/4 partition and either Stock or CM7 HBOOT. (i suggest CM7)
