This seems as it's a network provided location, not the gps one. Is your gps indicator (in status bar...) blinking? If so, wait 'till it stops blinking and then you'll have gps provided location... This can take few minutes :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eralx:
Thank you, that relly helped a lot! I guess i'm going to stik to jvk for a couple of days to see how it works. I'm using galnets miui v2, it has market app and gmail, that's why i was askig about installing gapps separately, though they could cause issues. Going to give it a try. Tnx again!:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan542:
So you don't need to flash gapps, just install desired apps from market...And if i helped a lot, you can hit my thx button :D

I know that, but they aren't shown in the market.

To get back on topic here, has anyone gotten the compass to work? I don't get a compass reading at all. I have tried re-flashing the JVP modem, the compass still doesn't give a reading.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eralx:
nope, can't fix it
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eralx:
Got it, found this googl app in the web. After installation icons maps latitude, laces, and navigation apperared. Exept navigation(for some reason it stuks on navigation avaliability check) everything works fine. But my GPS still can't fund me precise position, it jumps for one place to anotheraround the place where i am. Should i flash another modem? Maybe you couls adviseme how to fix this.

Tnx.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Habarug:
Hey, guys :) I just thought it would've been nice if we could compare the Benchmark results for the different roms for the HTC Hero. The best would've been if we could have the scores on a clean rom aka a rom with no apps installed (except the system apps and the Benchmark app of course).

So if you have the time and will, do a quick benchmark before you restore your apps next time you flash a new rom and post the results here :) Please inform which app you used to test and what CPU frequencies as well :D

As I'm trying to find the max score for the different roms, you can post your results for ROMs allready listed as well.

Update: If every1 could do Benchmark with max frequence 576 MHz it would've been great, makes it easier to compare :)

At 576 MHz:

SalsaSense RC1

Linpack single: 2.535

Linpack multi:2.811

Linpack single: 5.063

Linpack multi: 4.993

Elelinux GB 2.7 710 MHz

antutu benchmark 863

quadrant 403

linpack single thread 4.74

linpack multi thread 4.604

At other:

Floyo 1.4pre1 691 MHz:

Linpack: 4.9

Quadrant: 370

THC Bandit 729.6 MHz:

Quadrant: 308

Neocore: 62.5

Please note that for now some of the results are from clean roms, and others with lots of apps installed. Therefore it doesn't show it the right way. However I hope that we after some time will have all the roms max performance :) Also note that I haven't done all these tests. I can't guarantee that the numbers here aren't random numbers who popped into someones head, so don't blame me :P

[HTC EVO 3D] spalding1028:
So I've noticed that with the edges of the defender case being raised as they are, they can inhibit your swyping ability if you've got big fingers and are trying to use a word that has the letter P in it. almost impossible to get it to register without mashing your finger against the edge of the case

edit: my bad, shoulda put this in accessories!
[HTC EVO 3D] tbm48813:
Yea it does. For me the 1 is a bigger pain, gotta "shave" some off I think
[HTC EVO 3D] Itchiee:
Maybe some sanding is in order.... That sucks. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
main reason i did not get one .. had this problem with my evo4g and the case
[HTC EVO 3D] SteelH:
I had this issue with my ballistic case on the evo.
[HTC EVO 3D] DozeBeatS:
Maybe try a different keyboard app? Also, voice to text works really well with this phone. Dont know why more people dont use it.
[HTC EVO 3D] YoungSinema:
I had the problem with the keyboard and search icon in the market. I just use Shapewriter and the hard search key.
[HTC EVO 3D] toxicfumes22:
Its too slow for me, also when Im in class I dont want people hearing what Im saying.
[HTC EVO 3D] luckyzac:
I have not experienced any problems with this and my otter box...
[HTC EVO 3D] XxDjbluexX:
I noticed this too, it gets pretty annoying
[HTC EVO 3D] mail2n:
This is what I did with a dermal tool to make my Otterbox Defender easier to use when I'm swyping. The edges where the keyboard is located was "sanded" down so swyping has been a lot easier for me since the mod to the holster. I also dremaled out a hole so I can access the volume rocker without having to remove the phone from the holster. And I thought the tab to remove the phone from the holster was protruding too much so I also dremaled it down. Now it's slightly harder to remove the phone from the holster, but I don't intend to remove the phone from the holster very often.
[HTC EVO 3D] XxDjbluexX:
that looks great
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
Same for me. I download the Gingerbread Keyboard from the market and its much easier to press those buttons now. The hardest for me is the search button in market.
[HTC EVO 3D] dimebagdan65:
+1 why type when you can talk?
[HTC EVO 3D] Androidious:
I really like the modified holster case!

I too don't like how extra bulky the defender series is for a regular user like myself. I can see its perks for construction workers or something, but for me, the commuter series was plenty perfect for my new baby :)

Sent from my badass HTC EVO 3D... Get in our dimension!
[HTC EVO 3D] DeMiNe0:
I dremaled down the release clip too. I like it way better now. I might go out to home depot and refresh my dremal bits and cut the port and button holes too.
[HTC EVO 3D] mail2n:
The release clip definitely needs to be dremaled down. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that felt that way. :)

This case is perfect for me as I work in a paper mill building scaffolding.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cannon_Foddr:
Ok - firstly I know that to 'root' a 2.3.3 DHD you need to downgrade, root, 'S-off' then (re)upgrade,

AND I know that with build 2.37 it is not currently possible to do so

Since I can't post in the devlopment threads (I'm a 'newbie' - not enough posts) I'm having to increase my post count before I can & so hence this post

But I've got a weird problem with my phone..

A bit of background first

- I had Android 2.2 on an Unbranded DHD (well, I think it is - no network customisation & it can use any SIM card)

- I used Visonary+ (r14) to 'PERMROOT' the phone

- But I never did the 's-off' business (I never planned to install a Custom ROM so thought I'll never need to)

I did a FOTA upgrade to 2.3.3

Phone info now shows

Android Version: 2.3.3

HTC Sense Version: 2.1

Baseband version: 12.54.60.25U_26.09.04.11_M2

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.10-g0956377, htc-kernel@and18-2 #1, Tue Mar 29 06:10:15 CST 2011

Build number: 2.36.405.8 CL47853 release-keys

Software number: 2.36.405.8

Browser version: WebKit/533.1​

So I've tried downgrading to older version - as mentioned in this thread (& since it's an unbranded phone - I don't need a 'goldcard')...

...now, everything goes smoothly up until Step 2b (since I have Android 2.3.3 & Build 2.36), but when I type in 'adb shell' instead of the # I get the $

Now I've been searching/reading here that this is ONLY suppose to happen on Build 2.37 - so why am I getting it on 2.36 ??

I can only guess that there are in fact DIFFERENT 2.36 builds & the version I have is a newer version that has had whatever exploit patched

Can any 'experts' confirm this ?

If it's true then I guess I'm one of the many that'll have to wait for a 'proper' root exploit to appear
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chocolate mousse:
You seem to have the same software stuff as me ;) im probably more noob than you, so I will watch this thread! hopefully you get help soon

Edit- if you don't mind , i might aswell ask you a question, as you are a step ahead of me....

Section 2b [For Gingerbread ROMs, 2.x]

Connect Desire HD to a computer. Charge only, USB Debugging enabled!

Open up a cmd and go to Downgrade folder, execute commands:

Code:

adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp

adb push GingerBreak /data/local/tmp

adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version

adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/GingerBreak

adb shell

./data/local/tmp/GingerBreak

What is a cmd???

thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cannon_Foddr:
'CMD' is the 'Command Prompt'

If you use Windows (this is for XP, it should be the same for Vista and '7')

Click on the [ Start ] button

(I think on Vista/7 it's a circular icon bottom left of the taskbar)

Click on 'Run'

In the box that shows up - type in 'CMD'

You then get a window pop up that virtually a black screen with something like

Microsoft Windows XP
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\>

It's this that you then have to type in the commands to root the phone (if it was actually working that is ;))
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chocolate mousse:
yay i done it! rooted and got CM7 to work, although , android market is not installed (wth?)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cannon_Foddr:
Well done, glad some1 had luck with it.... out of curiousity though

Did YOU have Android 2.3.3 ?? - & if you did do you happen to remember the build number of it ??

I'm still puzzled as to why I get '$' instead of the '#' if I had Build 2.36
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chocolate mousse:
Yeah I was 2.3.3 , I think everything was pretty similar to yours...I did get a $, but I continued anyway writing everything else and ended up with the #
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cannon_Foddr:
Ah right.....

I didn't continue from that point - 'cos I thought I did something wrong & that's why I got the '$' & not the '#'

I'm also guessing you did the 'Visionary+' to give you temp/perm root (I forgot to mention that that little bit of info, although it IS in the Radio S-Off guide ;)) then used the 'Radio S-off' tool ??

& After that have you updated BACK to 2.3.3 again (& still got root) & if so was it using the OTA (Over The Airways) method or did you install a custom ROM ??

(I only want Root so that I can install 'adfree' & 'Droidwall' but still use HTC's own firmware - I'm not interested in custom ROMS or ClockworkMod ATM)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
You need to instal gapps after flashing Cyanogen.

By the way Cyanogenmod is awesome - its a fair bit faster than bloated Sense.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chocolate mousse:
Yeah i added a custom ROM, I think this could help you http://darrenrichie.blogspot.com/2011/06/downgrade-and-root-desire-hd.html

it helped me, and i think its clearer than the xda thread
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cannon_Foddr:
Funnyily - that's the web page I looked at, after Googling, that led me here :D

I agree that there's more steps so less chance of things going wrong... but it didn't explain why I was getting a '$' instead of a '#' ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
@ Cannon_Foddr - You still having issues? I can help you do it remotely it you want. I helped phil.cunningham67 the other night with the same issue. His Thread.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cannon_Foddr:
Actually - I've sort off given up for the moment to attempt the rooting of the phone, hoping that a simple 'one-shot' method crops up eventually for 2.3.3 (like an updated Visionary ;) ) so that I don't have to downgrade first :D

As said I'm not really interested in Custom ROM installation - just want to install a couple of root apps ('Droidwall' and 'adfree' are the main ones)

I am/was using the same thing as phil.cunningham67, [HTC Sync] & getting the same problem of adb being 'out of date' on each line, so I might just try that Android SDK pack/Java JDK combo at a later date myself & see if I can get it to work

If/when I do & still have problems - I'll know where to come for help

BTW - as for my OP question... do you know why I get a '$' instead of the '#' with my 2.36 build ??

Could it be because of the 'HTC Sync' adb being 'out of date' ??
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3x1at1on:
Of course you will get $ after running Adb Shell command. You will only get a # after you run GingerBreak(the ./data/local/tmp/GingerBreak part) and you successfully hack you DHD.

And just to mention, there is no way to Perm root the FOTA update 2.36 (2.3.3) from HTC, you can only temp root it to downgrade I am afraid.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cannon_Foddr:
Well.... as long as I can 'downgrade' > [temp] 'root' > 'S-off' > FOTA upgrade to 2.3.3

AND then still be able install those couple of programs I've mentioned (maybe a couple more) - I'll be happy

Might even try over the weekend if I'm not too busy
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3x1at1on:
I wouldn't think so my friend. S-Off is not enough to run programs that require Root access. You need to have Perm Root, or you need to do the process of Temp rooting everytime you reboot your phone.

The easiest solution ofc will be downgrade> Temp Root> PermRoot> S-Off> Eng S-Off> Flash recovery> Flash a custom Rom with near stock experience, like the seraphic stock GB http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059563&highlight=seraphic

Goodluck :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cannon_Foddr:
Well - considering I only used 'temp root' using Visionary+ (R14) when I was on Android 2.2 & that I very rarely had need to reboot the phone - I can't see that being much of a problem

Even with temp root - 'Droidwall' and 'Adfree' worked perfectly OK before my FOTA, & that's basically all I want
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Without S-OFF any changes you make to /system will not remain after a reboot.

If you ENG & Radio S-OFF then FOTA to 2.3, ENG & Radio S-OFF remain OFF you can then use Gingerbreak to achieve root. Sorted.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gixer131:
I am interested in learning more about what was fixed on phil.cunningham67, cause @ the moment I am suffering from tying to figure a way to root... my current OTA update i just got ran my software # to 2.43.661.1

I am curious... is the a new downgrade package that has to be made yet for me to get the ability to downgrade, root, etc?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
There were a number of problems Phil had.

1) His adb was outdated

2) He repeatedly got the VOLD error

3) Then the boomsh error

4) He didn't really know what to do (no disrespect to Phil).

Via TeamViewer I guided him through the process, showing him the steps taken.

In the end we rooted/downgraded/rooted again/S-OFF'd/customised.

It took about 2 hours from start to finish.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gixer131:
I am an everyday Teamviewer User :)

How would one go about getting your services if you believed you could downgrade Software version # 2.43.661.1

From what I've been reading, it is not yet possible to downgrade this high of version as of yet.

Would definitely be interested in rooting since the Update has may flaws which have driven me mad. :mad:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Not even my talents are a match to 2.43.xxx.x. If I knew it could be done, just asking for help is enough.

Tonight I'm booked at 8 to help someone flash a new radio.

As soon as a method becomes available for 2.43 I'll happily give you a hand.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Looks like a root method is almost on the horizon. While the waters are calm now will be a good time to get your boat in order.

Or in English,

Ensure you have everything ready to downgrade. :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cannon_Foddr:
Hang on - we already got a 'root' procedure if we downgrade anyway (mind you that for build 2.36) - I'm guessing this is a root for those with build 2.37 ?? :confused:

All I'm hoping for a Rooting solution like Visionary+ for Android 2.3.3 :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cannon_Foddr:
Sorry to bump the thread but...

OK - I've been trying the guide several times now... without much luck

Either I wasn't getting the '#' when I should, or I kept getting a 'vold not found type message, or if I got further - I got that message that the '1.32 PD98 file was older ' etc... BUT I DID find another guide that does seem to work

I say SEEM to work since I managed to downgrade to 1.32, use Visonary to temp root and then Perm root - then I used Radio S-Off

When rebooting & holding down the volume I get S-Off on that white boot screen - so I'm guessing I'm good to go.... so I then updated to latest Gingerbread

BUT no Apps that need root will work for some reason (I've tried DroidWall / Screenshot and Adfree) - all say they haven't got permission

(I have Visionary+ AND Superuser showing on the phone BTW)

Now I admit I didn't do the 'Titanium Backup' section or the 'How to Flash recovery with ClockworkMod' section, mainly because all I want is ROOT access - so is there something I should've done before updating to Gingerbread ?? - or is there a way to get SU access now that I have S-off ??

Anyone got any ideas...

I HAVE searched & I seen some mentions on 'ENG-Off', so should I have done that as well... should I NOT of skipped the clockworkmod step or something ??

Thanks in advance

My case broke again (for the 2nd time) so I asked otterbox for a replacement. They told me they stopped making droid cases. They said I can get my money back(with reciept, which I don't have) or I can get a case at equal value.

I'm thinking about getting a case for a newer phone then selling it

But which phone? What are the popular phones that everyone seems to have?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] thre3aces:
Any dual core phone with tegra 2 is good: atrix and stuff like thay (I'm sure there are more dual core phones in america than there are here in the uk).

I wouldn't get the galaxy s 2 because it has a mali400 gpu which is very unpopular with devs. So all the games optimised for dual core phones won't work on galaxy s 2 because they are all optimised for tegra 2.

Hope it helps.

Charlie

P.s I think the mali chipsets are more common among generic tablets because they are cheap. The only branded device which uses anything from mali is the galaxy s 2, though I may be wrong
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] HinotoriBR:
I believe he has asked which phone is popular in america and it would be easy to sell the replacement case he receives, as they gave him the option to receive a case for other phone as they stoped making droid cases...

Btw, Mali is way better than the GPU in Tegra 2 devices, "HD" games usually favor Tegra 2 for a reason: nVidia bribes developers for exclusivity or "better on nVidia" kind of thing. Unfortunately they are using those anti-ethic moves in Android as well, and this only makes the whole android fragmentation thing even worst. Kudos to nVidia. :p
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] moe6:
It is also entirely possible, shock horror, that some of those "bribed" devs are familiar with nV tech, SDK's and documentation.

Is also entirely possible that without the "bribes" they wouldn't have had the funding necessary either.

Perhaps it is also because there are quite a few Tegra devices and that trend does not look like it's stopping either.

It is an entirely necessary evil sometimes :).

OP,

Maybe one of the Samsung Galaxy's would be your best bet.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Accessories] stackingreasyBBs:
I guess they just never really figured out the Droid/Milestone cases. Too bad, I like Otterbox. My second case broke recently (screen part, of course), so maybe I'll give them a call. Maybe get a case for my wife's phone or something.

My case is a sillicone one, that fits perfectly to the phone.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] TheBladeofFate:
Sorry for taking so long to respond. Did you buy the phone in the US? I can see that you have a T-Mobile rom flashed. Is this a mytouch 1.2 (does it have a headset jack)? I can help you better if I know that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] maxipvp:
Hi TheBlade,

no complains, my daughter can wait :)

Yes, it's a T-Mobile US phoneut doesn't have a 3.5mm jack, just the usb like HTC connector.

Thanks!

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] TheBladeofFate:
I believe this link: http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/magic/nbh/coc10/SAPPIMG.nbh

will work. Download and put it on the microsd card that came with the phone (don't put it inside a folder). Turn on the phone to the bootloader, and it should detect the file. It should ask if you want to apply the update. Say yes, and then you will be back to stock. Let me know how it goes.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] maxipvp:
Thanks TheBlade.

Performed the suggested process and got "Main Version is older!" Update Fail! message. :confused:

Anything else to try?
