[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vr5:
Clean Desire HD, no root. Received FOTA 2.3 one month ago. Wifi is not working since then. HTC service UK returned device as "repaired" but it still does not work.

WIFI does not work mean that I can connect to router, but no traffic flow.

(I did reset router many times)

some facts:

1) I have a Bebox wireless router at home (thomson 585). I have just tested 5 laptops: sony, 2 lenovo, hp and fujitsu. Every single one works with the wifi. PSP, nokia n97 and walkman - all work with wifi as well. The only device in the house which does not is Desire HD.

2) I have also tried setting up wifi spot on nokia n97. ALL laptops managed to connect and access internet. Desire HD does not even see this wifi hot spot, the hotspot does not show up after repeated scans.

3) I have also tried setting up ad-hoc networks on two laptops, thinkpad and vaio. HTC desire HD does not even see these networks, while other devices are able to connect.

HTC has tried to repair this wifi problem over the phone and email (silly stuff like resetting, disabling settings backup, removing sim etc).

HTC has tried to repair it in the service centre and failed (and lost battery in process).

Before I send it back for another round of torture at HTC service centre, I want ask you guys for a help. Any ideas?

Is there any way to reflash the phone with official firmware without voiding the warranty?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nm8:
try redownloading the new rom and reinstall it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vr5:
Yep, just tried - no luck. But!

I have just downgraded to 1.32 - wifi is working perfect again! i did not even have to reboot the home router. Now testing the rest of functions.

So, 2.3 update has clearly serious issues. And HTC is clearly clueless how to fix it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndriodLover:
2.3 has wifi drop issues, which can fixed via patch if rooted. Other then that no issues.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starfish_001:
do you have a link to the patch ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sven424:
Hi,

seen similar behavior on another android device. Connection to the Router was o.k. but no data flow. After entering a IP adress etc manually everything went fine.

bye

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] preacher65:
I had problems with my wifi router (a Belkin Double N+) and GB Sense ROMs - it would connect, but take several attempts to do so. It would get as far as authenticating with the router, then fail, try again, and eventually connect.

I tried various custom ROMs and even the stock ROM without any luck, and it had been fine on Froyo. Tried altering all kinds of router settings as well.

What finally worked for me was switching the router's wifi security from WPA2 to WPA. I imagine the GB wifi drivers didn't get on well with my router's chipset. Might be worth a try, if you haven't already.

Hello, i have updated to flash 10.3 but there are still many flash games that have a blue lego block and a question mark inside of it. Some games run perfectly fine though. For example, can someone try playing a game called "save the sheriff" on their device to see if it loads fine? Mine does not load..

Thank you vey much!

I miss not hitting the power button accidentally all the time. Rarely happened on the Evo 4G, but I seem to keep hitting it accidentally on the 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] Thaxx:
I miss...

1. My ROOT!!!!

2. My Kickstand

3. My 8MP CAMERA!!!

4. My DEDICATED HDMI port
[HTC EVO 3D] No1ustad:
titanium backup..
[HTC EVO 3D] itsallsubliminal:
the 5mp cameras on the samsung devices blow away the OG Evo's 8MP, i assume its all in the quality of the harware and i think HTC made the right choice.. 8MP only means the picture is bigger in size, doesn't mean the quality is better.

BUT, i'm still waiting UPS to deliver my phone...
[HTC EVO 3D] magicalan:
i dont miss anythign yet.. its been like 5 hours..i NEVER used the kickstand :P
[HTC EVO 3D] Thaxx:
it wasnt that i never used the kickstand in landscap mode on a desk but i would always put my fingers in it and hold the phone that way... i used to have a wrist lanyard on my old messenger and i did the same thing with that...

[HTC EVO 3D] subliminal609:
Absolutely nothing

Was running Linpack scores on the 3D and was hitting consistantly about 124-130 with peaks above 230.....i never used the kickstand, this thing has DLNA so it can wirelessly stream to ur HD TV if you have the right "internet connectable" tv or boxee/dvr-pvr/set-top/roku so don't miss the hdmi....(saying that however no real-hdmi type app so, ahh....then again when was that ever practical?), I agree with the 8MP vs 5MP, the 5 on the nexus s 4g and epic 4g look way better than the 8 mp on the evo4g, the compression level of those phones camera's are way less than on the original evo, I took pics with EVO4g and with the other two phones and compared all three after copying the images from the phones to the computer, and the new evo's camera's are way better than the EVO4G camera (not to mention the little feature of well 3d recording/snapshots.) ... , front facing camera's about the same, free ram off the jump was like 600 mb after running several apps, the 1.2 dual core is so snappy, I honestly have no desire to root with the exception of curiosity of what this device is going to bring to our every day lives, way to go HTC i literally have an EVO4g, an epic 4g, a nexus s4g, an evo3d, a lg quantum, and an htc thunderbolt in the room with me and nothing has even remotely came close to the abilities of this device so far and its only been like 10 hours. Battery life seems to be about onpar with the evo's original battery, but thats expected. Have had the evo4g since launch day and the thunderbolt since launch day so im used to it, will buy an extended life battery when they are realeased. Oh and if you buy an otterbox defender case, the powerbutton doesn't accidently get hit, i was doing it alot too before I decided to buy one of those cases mainly because the back camera's are raised above the rest of the back of the phone and seems to be a glass cover figured if it was dropped it be over, so just saying. sense 3.0 is amazing.... I have no problems retiring the EVO 4G for good and sticking with my Evo3d/Thunderbolt combo!

Get this phone now!!!!

[HTC EVO 3D] Shawheim:
If I'm not mistaken I saw a video and read somewhere that the hdmi is provided through the micro usb. Some new technology on the 3vo that combines both.

I had an EVO Shift, what I miss most is the keyboard. I will never type as fast on this as I could on a hardware keyboard, however the benefits of the 3D outweigh the benefit of the Shift's keyboard.
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
I miss root. I'm having withdrawals from not being able to flash a rom. it's been 2 days now... 2 freaking days. I need mah fix!

aside from that, I prefer the shape of the O.G. I liked the whole front of the phone being glass and the wider look, the back of the 3D is better I think with the entire back being the door, looks cleaner.. sans the missing kickstand, which I didn't use much, but freaking loved. lol

and yes, the USB on the 3D is an HDMI port as well, just need an adapter.

Things I prefer over the original EVO?:

SD card is WAY easier to remove, like times 10.

I REALLY like the feel of the back, looks good and feels good.

dedicated camera button = OMG thank you.
[HTC EVO 3D] rockky:
The 5m's do NOT blow away the 8mg . The pics are virtually the same quality. Unfortunately. As Smartphone manufacturers go...HTC ranks last in camera quality.

That said, the 3D is still a worthy upgrade.

1,2, and 4

Also the wideness of the 4G screen. I still don't know how it will be possible to charge while on kickstand. Looks impossible. Also missing hdmi port being seperate

But I'm still HAPPY AS HELL!
[HTC EVO 3D] Kalash:
Swype 3 beta *sigh*

And the other stuff.

Screw flashing roms.

The ability to get rid of crapware and install swype 3b are my top priorities. (Then flashing roms. Then fixing bugs. Then productivity.... Yup. that's the right priority level ;))
[HTC EVO 3D] michaelm718:
A lot of people tend to not notice this, but it is my biggest gripe with the phone is the extremely downgraded speaker. The older Evo was MUCH louder and MUCH more clear. My alarm barely wakes me now and when I play music from my Evo in the shower I can barely hear it as opposed to my old Evo. Besides that and the mushy volume rockers and power button this is an amazing phone. I do miss the kickstand, but there are cases for that.
[HTC EVO 3D] racerbob:
The kickstand and thats about it.
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
+1

Yeah. Some things I'm not ecstatic about is the weak speaker, sensitive power button, volume rocker.

And the depth of the LCD compared to the glass. That might be an odd complaint. But it seems deeper in the phone than the the original. I guess this is for the space needenfor the parrellax screen over the top. But still, I notice!
[HTC EVO 3D] ajones7279:
MIUI! Guess that ties in with root. And that's about it.

Also the kinda sorta slightly miss the wider screen on the OG. That's about it, really. Never really used the kickstand or the hdmi port.
[HTC EVO 3D] Just_s:
Ditto, miss MIUI. I'm sure it will come to the 3D soon after root.

Also, you are the second person to mention the width of the screen, but they are identical. I held my EVO 4G up next to and screen to screen with the 3d and they are identical in width (screen and body.) The 3D only appears narrower due to the increased length (5" vs 4.8") and resolution.
[HTC EVO 3D] ajones7279:
Really? It seemed slightly thinner when I was typing on it. Could be all in my head though. Didn't really hold them side by side before I turned in my Evo.
[HTC EVO 3D] bigboypr3061:
the 5MP on the Evo 3D is alot better the the reg. Evo
[HTC EVO 3D] Zanthexter:
Have you tried Swype yet? It comes with the phone, but is not enabled by default.

I can "type" much faster with Swype than I ever could with a physical phone keyboard.

As for what I miss most... Samba! aka Windows file sharing. It's just so dang useful to just be able to map a network drive to my phone from any computer on the same WiFi network. I have WebDAV mapping for now, but no out of the box XP love there :/
[HTC EVO 3D] coffeehandle:
A great quality camera from start....

ummmm, bout it
[HTC EVO 3D] TheWall279:
Keyboard

I would have to say I miss the keyboard. I actually still use the 4g for personal.... 3d is business line but when using the 3d I noticed its much harder to type... The 4g's screen is slightly wider and shorter, but that slight difference makes a huge difference with the keyboard size. In portrait the 4g's keyboard is bigger and in landscape the 3d's keyboard is bigger.

[HTC EVO 3D] jayharper08:
This. The 3d screen IS thinner in width size. (Feels that way anyway, lol). I find myself constantly making mistakes while typing in portrait. Hopefully I will get used to it. I miss the kickstand greatly, and the speaker from the 4g.

I miss root, but guess what. Its almost here. TeamWin FTW!

My ''xDU4L C0R3 SH00T3Rx'' shot you down in 3D!
[HTC EVO 3D] str8upx:
1. I believe we will have root this week. #teamwin

2. I agree with you about the kickstand (even though I never used it)

3. I have been very impressed with the 3D's camera. In 2D mode it takes way better pictures then my 4G ever did. 3D pictures are awesome, even when you convert them to 2D they look much better then the 4Gs.

4. Once they make/sell the microusb to hdmi cable I think it will be much better since it will charge the 3VO at the same time. (provided your tv supports this.)

I was prepared to be disappointed with the 3VO after all the crappy reviews. Those reviewers were talking out their A-holes. Everything about the 3D has exceeded my expectations and then some. The only thing missing is Root and an unlockable bootloader, which i believe we will have both in < 30 days.
[HTC EVO 3D] nhutpham:

I agree, the camera on the Samsung Devices (ALL Galaxy S / Nexus S) raped the camera on the Evo 4G. I got my Epic Still and record at 720p has a steady clear frame rate of 25-30 fps. The Evo 4G on the other hand was awful.

Now the camera on the Evo 3D is deffinetly a whole lot better. I bet after root and some custom roms, we WILL see 1080p video record since the specs are similer to the Sinsation on TMobile
[HTC EVO 3D] zeks:

[HTC EVO 3D] phwelo:
I miss the kickstand for the same reason someone else mentioned, i used it to hold the phone in my hand and to click back and forth as a nervous tick..

AOSP roms are greatly missed of now, i'm holding my breathe for a way to flash soon like everyone else. Really missing CM7's ability to change so many settings along with putting status bar on the bottom of the screen, this has been a pain to get used to having it on the top again

Last of all i was going to say swype but i'll certainly be giving this guy's suggestion a shot to try and regain the beta!

edit: the above didn't work for me. i also attempted deleting this file in conjunction with the swype apk from /system/apps and was allowed to install the beta. thing is after a reboot i'm right where i started.

- Root

- CM7

- Apps requiring root

But all in good time. Temp root is ready and hopefully full root soon and then it shouldn't be long for CM7 and other custom ROM's. I have plenty of patience to wait. We can't expect all the goodies just over a week after the phone came out.
[HTC EVO 3D] slowrey:
I miss (not necessarily in the order of importance):

Wider screen, I mistype much more on this screen

Kickstand, I've used it on planes and when I'm holding it in my hand

Ability to select all emails for deletion... I hate having to select them individually

Non-Scrolling "All Apps", this is a pain to have to see page by page

Contacts, not being able to select "File As" but only "Last, First" or "First, Last"

Ability to actually see how much phone memory I have

[*]If I go to Settings, Applications, Manage Applications and click on the All tab it says that I have used 406mb and 770mbs free​

[*]If I swipe down and go to Quick Settings and look at Total memory it says I used 686mb and 107mbs free.

Which is correct? I assume Total Memory is RAM whereas the Memory under Manage Applications is storage?

[Droid 2 General] 0vermind:
I did get it to power on to the Motorola Flash Interface. I'm doing this for a friend. As soon as the battery is placed in, a red light turns on about 4mm to the right of the notification light. This is not the notification light though.

First of all, his battery was completely damaged, so I stuck in new battery and got it to power on to the motorola flash interface (the "ok to flash" screen), which means I can use RSD Lite, so I had to download an SBF file, but now it won't power back on.

So I figured maybe soaking it in Isopropyl Alcohol to displace any crap that was short circuiting the processor (the processor get's really hot), let it soak over night and dried it out this morning. It did get some dirt out and stuff, put the battery in, instantly the red light comes on, but phone still won't power on.

Any ideas?

Might be willing to ship it to someone, perhaps a dev, someone who's interested in seeing if they can jtag it and get it to work. If a dev can I'd probably just let them keep it.
[Droid 2 General] 808Bill:
Try putting the phone in a bag of rice to soak up any excess moisture.
[Droid 2 General] bitz_dv:
These phones survive alot, everything is really well protected on the Droid 1 and 2, except the main board. If a red light is coming on that is not the notification light (infrared for proximity possibly?) then something is shorted or blown out. Yes it is possible that the phone can be saved, but I doubt it. I once had an original droid with water damage that the flash came on while it was booting, very annoying, but it still worked.

To properly get the moisture out I would disassemble the phone, remove and clean the main board as best as possible checking for any physical damage, and let it dry for a few days. Emphases on the few days part, there are lots of places for water or alcohol to get trapped. And if you are using rubbing alcohol to clean it, use at least 99%.

adding custom cities to weather sense 3.0 app

hi

i've managed to add custom cities to wether sense. you need to have an S-OFF and rooted device. without that you can't copy the customized file.

go on this site for further instructions (thanks Hotrod68): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=975836

i used the third method and it worked like a charm.

getting your location code accuweather uses go to this site: http://netweather.accuweather.com/adcbin/netweather_v2/signup-page2.asp

fill out the form and then you will find at the end the location code - look at the database for example of the location code.

for your latitude and longitude values go to: http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html

write your adress and you will find your latitude and longitude values there.

you will find timezone and other data in the database.

nice adding to you
[HTC Sensation] nxt:
Am I the only think HTC's weather app is the worse Weather app there is?

Come on, you can't search for any cities, only major cities and time zone cities. WTF is up with that.

Then it actually detects your location and shows the correct city even if it's not in the "database" but guess what, you can't add that either.

Geez. Someone was smoking crack when they wrote this app.
