see that wasnt hard to ask without a subtle insult. mobiletechvideos has plenty of install tuts for 2.2 and 2.3.3 based roms. stick with 2.2 roms to lessen the chance of a perma brick

Listen to clemmie.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madtowndave:
+1 on josh @ mobile tech videos. That site was 85% of the research I did on my first flash. The other 15% was asking courteous questions to the great people on this forum.

Agreed on sticking with 2.2 ROM at first, less chance of hard brick and they are very stable.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigsmitty64:
Check THIS out! :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axis01:
I second, third, and fourth, the Mobiltech videos for the cappy. They should be mandatory for every noob to watch.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Whats wrong with reading forums of the rom before hand? Don't get me wrong I've used videos (my very first flash and my first GB rom) but I had done a good reading before hand. I had a decent idea on what I had to do before watching videos. =/
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonoControl:
I don't think theirs anything wrong with reading up in the forums, its just a lot more easier on newcomers to watch the videos so they have something to look at step by step and if they want to they can go back and watch different parts over and over =] well at least that's how I see it lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
I understand you but I feel like op hasn't read anything about flashing or the risk of it. Don't know feel like he trying to take shortcuts and is going to end up bricking his phone. Hope I'm wrong though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigsmitty64:

When I flashed my first ROM, I had read quite a bit on here, but I watched one of Josh's videos and paused at about every step! :D Bottom line here is, everyone is different and some people are "visual" learners. Having said that, I agree whole heartedly with the "read twice flash once" (then follow a vid if ya have to) mentality. :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clemmie:
Of course, the videos are very good and simplify things immensely. However, what the videos do not show you often times is how to avoid mistakes and errors and how to fix them if you make them. This is why it is always a good idea to read through the thread of the kernel or ROM or what have you to see what has gone wrong for others. It can seem daunting to try to read through a 20+ page thread, which may take an hour, but that hour might save you 4 or more hours while trying to recover from a brick or failed flash. Add to that some peace of mind because perhaps you've seen or read about the same issue and can do some problem solving.

Both are helpful, but reading threads is essential.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chrisokaly:
Bummer. Tried Rooting, and was successful, however when the machine booted back up, it was no longer responsive to touch.

Tried resetting to stock and still no touch. Total bummer, however I was within the 14 day best buy return period... so I brought it back. (btw, whoever is having problems finding these needs to look in Union, NJ - they told me they had "plenty").

Was going to exchange, but something caught my eye... the Toshiba Thrive. I asked, they said they had them, so I bought. A week early!!! WOOO HOOO.

Anyway it looks nice, much lighter than it looks, and who can complain about the ports. The only thing I dont like is the latch that covers said ports looks a little flimsy.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackdragon12:
Hey,

So over last weekend I installed the RCMixS rom, and it works good, for the most part.

I experience the following bugs first of all:

-Random restarts

-Randomly deletes alarms

-Lockscreen screws up sometimes (GO SMS Pro icon doesnt show sometimes)

-HTC Flipclock does always shows old time for a split second after bypassing lock screen

Also, I have barely installed any apps, and I have only 16MB left... I was able to install more apps using the stock software with the desire :s

Finally, I only have about ~100MB free of memory, no matter what. On the only stock software, I had close to ~250MB free usually.

Anyways, im new to roms and rooting. Is this normal? I was under the impression after I root I would get rid of all the HTC crapware and have more free space... but apparently not? Is there a better rom with HTC sense 2.1/3.0 mix out there?

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackdragon12:
Hmmm? Anyone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Wow, ok. Thought this would of been replied to by now since I read it last night (sorry).

Anyway, bugs. There will always be bugs in software, especially software that is ported and is a hybrid rom, being Sense 2.1/3.0.

As for storage. The internal storage is ****. By the time you install the rom and nothing else you will have about ~130MB of internal memory available. That's where A2SD comes in. By default, when you flashed the rom it would of installed an A2SD script so no matter what apps you install, you have enough memory for it. You can't see how much space is available by going into your settings, you'll need a file explorer or an app that can read the ext partition.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackdragon12:
Oh okay, but I keep getting the low-space message, anyway to fix that?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Yeh. Use a2sd. Did you create an ext partition when you flashed the rom? Like I said by default it installs one. The rom shouldn't even boot without it.

Swyped...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackdragon12:
Yup, I created a 1GB ext3 partition.

is a2sd an app from the market?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordvoldemort:
nah!! its not an app..its a feature..a2sd stands for applications to sd card..most of the apps that you install can be moved to fat32 partition of your sd card..you vil find a .android.secure.blah blah name folder on fat 32 partition..But if you use custom roms which have a2sd+ feature then the apps will be stored in sd-ext partition of your card...

A2sd+ is useful because even if you connect your phone to pc via disk storage mode,you can access all the apps whereas the opposite happens when you use only a2sd...ie you cant access apps when connected in disk storage mode!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackdragon12:
Hmm, so apps are automatically moved? But i keep getting the low storage warning on the desire :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordvoldemort:
well!! not all data can be moved!!even I get that stupid warning..:p
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackdragon12:
EDIT: Okay, i tried downloading some apps, and I got the message saying "Error not enough space to download app"...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordvoldemort:
donno wat went wrong but I was also gettin same error wen using RCmix rom..so switched to reflexS..its workin fine

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBooth:
Right,

First things first, where are you?

Secondly, when did you get the phone?

If you're in the UK and you got the phone in June/July/August/September 2010 then the chances are your phone is faulty and that is the cause of the reboots. I had this happen to me so I'm going by experience here. I got a new phone and the problems completely disappeared.

Secondly, if you're running out of room:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1110921

http://uploadingit.com/file/i2wdwu9xmuledzer/RCMixS_v2.0_D2EXT_Wmjan.part2.rar

Download those modified versions of this ROM and use that as it gives Data2EXT instead of A2SD+. So instead of giving the ROM 1GB of the SD card and still running out of space, you give it 1GB of SD and don't run out of space.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackdragon12:
I live in Canada, and I bought the phone August 2010 from TELUS.

So basically, its the ROM thats glitching? I just need to use a different ROM? Does that mean I have to reinstall a new ROM and re-download my apps and settings?

Thanks!

I just tried mr 2 its not working either i need help desperately im gonna try to go back to mr 1 but I don't have high hopes
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devindpotts:
How did you flash it, through hboot or recovery?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devindpotts:
It sounds like you are flashing it through recovery when you should be flashing it through hboot. Here's directions on how to flash a radio

Make sure the radio file is named PG05IMG.zip. Check the MD5 sum and place on your sdcard. Power phone down completely, hold volume down button and power button and phone will boot into hboot. It will then ask do you want to update, hit volume up button to say yes. From here it will flash the radio then request you hit the power button to reboot. After that you should have signal. Last thing delete the PG05IMG.zip file off of your sd card just in case you have any issues in the future and need to boot into recovery through hboot.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scassel:
You also need to be running a rom meant to interface with the MR2 radios and not the MR1. GB roms, BAMF 1.8.6 and CM7 now has versions.

How can I remove the 40 person limit for HTC Sense UI SMS text messages?

I found a post that shows how to remove the number of SMS messages sent limit,

http://dylantaylor.wordpress.com/2010/10/19/closer-to-a-proper-froyo-limit-removal-fix/

But in the HTC Sense UI "messages" app, you can't add more than 40 people to the "TO:" field. :mad:

Any way to get HBO Go working? Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] crazed_z06:
In another thread someone mentioned that they were able to play the videos by browsing to the website.

I tried that in the stock browser and the video started playing. It looked nice and smooth and HD. After about 2-3 mins, the framerate dropped to like 3 frames per second and the video become unwatchable. I couldnt figure out a way to fix it, so I gave up.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RamAir02:
This is a deal breaker for me considering how awesome HBO Go is. Any rooted devices/custom roms got it running?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TabGuy:
Works perfectly in the Dolphin browser.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Obsessive:
this is debatable. Not everyone has been having the same success as you. I have tried a couple different browsers and the video starts out smooth, then after a few minutes the frames drop and it's unwatchable.

Haven't been able to figure out why, since I have plenty of RAM available.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mrsbelpit:
Contact HBO. They have to make it work.

It's only a matter of time until this app has GTab 10.1 support. Email the developer. I did. And I'm having success watching it through Dolphin HD
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] crazed_z06:
I swore I tried Dolphin also and it didnt work. Maybe it's one of those "your mileage may vary" things.

[Android Apps and Games] Rico ANDROID:
I have tried Go SMS too, but the flood of colors, blingage isnt what I want...but I do like the folder structure it has. All I am looking for is an sms app that displays sms msgs in folders and I can move a message from Inbox to a Save folder. Also if I can see msgs I deleted in a Delete folder, giving me an oportunity to move any to a different folder, respond or simply clear the delete folder.......
[Thunderbolt General] Jaskwith:
Bringing my Revolution back as soon as I can (Saturday) because...among other things ... the headphone jack isn't compatible with my beats by Dre. Anyways I have been reading about the thunderbolt and I think I am going to really love it ans I cant wait. Anyways I was just wondering what are the common problems being had with this phone and have they been fixed or been in the process of being fixed? Mainly ask this because I have heard some bad things about this phone dojng rrandom stupid things like rebooting 20 times a day etc...?
[Thunderbolt General] want a droid:
My only complaint is battery life which is a 4G thing. You're probably aware, but if I'm not mistaken the TB battery life is smaller than the Revo's.

Expect to disable your data a lot, and run WiFi often. There is a great dev community though!
[Thunderbolt General] Jaskwith:
Awesome I am excited...yea I get really good battery life with my revolution but its all good I stay near my charger hahah
[Thunderbolt General] crazyhtown:
Juice defender and setcpu..
[Thunderbolt General] Robertus:
Those headphones may not be compatible with the ThunderBolt either. I use the Bose MIE2 and they are very nice but pricey. Good sound, especially with the equalizer set to R&B, call button works and I use software to also use the call button to advance tracks and boost the volume occasionally when outdoors.

Some people have problems with the phone rebooting and occasional data connectivity issues but this is probably being fixed soon. I don't have these problems any more and I suspect the great majority of people have these issues very infrequently or not at all. Biggest issue for most people is battery life but I'm used to having a couple of spare batteries on all my phones so I don't give it a second thought.

Thanks, Robrecht
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
the only common problem seems to be reboots that they are releasing a fix for. Of course that fix has been delayed at least once.

My wife and I have only had 1 reboot each in 2 weeks with the phones. Other than that, it bogs down occasionally so I have a task killer I use manually when that happens. The phone takes forever to reboot...

Battery life sucks. You can do all those things that are counterproductive to having a smartphone like turning off data, turning off wifi, turning down the screen brightness...

I just bought 2 extra batteries with chargers so I switch them out as needed. The thunderbolt is pretty slow at charging batteries. I could go from 20-30% on my hd7 to a full charge in around an hour, but this phone takes 3-4.

Overall, it is a good android device. Right now for verizon it's either lte (thunderbolt, charge, revolution) or dual core (x2).

I went for the network speeds and don't regret it.
[Thunderbolt General] dpham00:
If you are worried about your headphones not working with a phone, make sure to test the headphones on the Thunderbolt display model before buying.
[Thunderbolt General] crazed_z06:
Those headphones dont work on the TB either. Keep the Revolution. If you get the TB, you will be kicking yourself.
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
besides netflix, what is better on the revolution?
[Thunderbolt General] bowtieduece:
I have the ibeats with sound control, and the button controls send and end and long pressing pulls up voice search. You do have to go into call settings and set tty to vco but it does work.
[Thunderbolt General] Jaskwith:
Just to be clear...when I say they do not work I am not talking about tthe control talk. I am talking about unless I physically hold my headphone connector into the jack It doesn't stay contacted enough to even play music really? So that being said you are saying this will not work in the TB either? That wouldn't make any sense to me being as its HTC phone and every HTC phone I have had (many) has had 3.5mm jack compatibility ....?

As far as "kicking myself" goes ...why do you say that?
[Thunderbolt General] lrs421:
I have beats as well and had issues with the thunderbolt. Keep in mind that the volume clickers are for apple only. The mic worked by enabling tty vco.
[Thunderbolt General] lippstuh:
phone arena did a comparison and the thunderbolt got more talk time than the revolution
[HTC EVO 3D] JoshuaAlba:
Still have 15 days to return it. Can I say "Ehh its not for me", get my upgrade back, and use it at another sprint store? Or are there any better ideas than that? I want to do this before HTC comes out with another update. Thanks for reading :)

First pay the deductible then return it within 30 your 30 days

[HTC EVO 3D] JoshuaAlba:
It's just two little scratches, but to me its devestating. Especially on a gorgeous qHD screen.
[HTC EVO 3D] dtblair24:
Ha oh gosh, not another one of these...Be prepared for people to come out of the woodwork telling you how bad of a person you are..I don't give a damn, but I also try to think about karma and what not..

But to answer your question, yes. Don't go to the all-star Super sprint employee who looks like he/she will bust your balls..go when it is busy, and you can probably get away with returning it or getting it swapped for some other B.S issue you can make up. Such as software or random reboots, and hope they do not notice. If they do notice, worse they will do is turn you away and say we can't take it back, and in that case just use your phone insurance if you have any.
[HTC EVO 3D] JoshuaAlba:
Actually sometimes I do have problems with the phone itself, once in a while since i listen to my music with it, the screen would go ape**** and start making calls on its own, going to the app drawer, tracks keep skipping on it's own, etc
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Last week I was reading threads about how we don't need screen protectors. This week im reading threads about scratched screens from lighters and whatnot.
[HTC EVO 3D] JoshuaAlba:
When I had my Evo 4G, I had it for a whole year with out a screen protector. And it was still perfect :) til I dropped it flat on the screen.....
[HTC EVO 3D] Chuck_IV:
I gotta ask, if scratches are that devastating to you, why weren't you using a screen protector in the first place? A quality screen protector doesn't detract from the screen's beauty, scratches do.
[HTC EVO 3D] xweaponx:
My car has a couple scratches on it. I wonder if the dealer will take it back...

Where does personally responsibility begin? With or without a screen protector, how long do you think your going to keep the scratch & dent gods at bay? You will replace this phone in 1 year or less; is it such an inconvenience now that you would potentially "sell your soul" and do something dishonest?

By the way, I have (2) scratches on my 3D and have no intentions of replacing it. It still works perfectly fine albeit a few hiccups from time to time. Nothing that I dont expect from a device of this type...
[HTC EVO 3D] EvoRollen:
I bought the Otter cell phone case which comes with the screen protected and so far I've dropped my phone 3 times accidentally put it in the same pocket as my keys. Open it up to do a little clean up from the dust and the thing looks like I bought it the same day.

It maybe bulky but I know when It is time for me to upgrade I'll get full value for this hotness at radio shack.
[HTC EVO 3D] chrischoi:
When you think of this stuff, you shouldn't tell everyone. Just get some buffer and buff it out. You openly admitted to causing the scratches. If you had a child and he fell on his head... would you return it to your baby momma's vagina and ask for a refund to impregnate another women?
[HTC EVO 3D] Drachen808:
When I got my hero, I put it in a case with a built in screen protector for about 4 months, then someone gave me an otterbox defender where it stayed for 1 year and 4 months. When I swapped out my Hero they told me that they had never seen a screen that was that old, look that beautiful.

It's not too hard to take care of the things you own. I don't necessarily think about karma or anything, but I just know how I want to be dealt with and try to not be a hypocrite by doing the opposite to others. This is why I didn't sell it on Craigslist. The battery was crapping out and I don't think I could have gotten any more from a person on CL than I was offered by Best Buy if I was completely honest with the buyer.
[HTC EVO 3D] JoshuaAlba:
I was just asking for ideas to help, people. No need for "If you dropped a baby, blah blah blah. I'm a douchebag". I get it. I rarely do dumb **** like this, and the scratches piss me off. Anyways, I'll just see if I can get used to it for the next couple of days. If not, I'll probably return it and try to get another one. Thanks for replying.
[HTC EVO 3D] magicalan:
hmm just return it.. they rip us off sometimes too with the refurbished phones...sure..its for the ecosystem uh huh...
[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
That's probably your headphones doing that. I had the same problem with 1 pair. They would randomly skip songs in Pandora, make calls, and basically lock up the phone. These were just plain headphones...no mic, etc. I ordered some newer ones with a mic and they've worked find (plus my old ipod ones would work ok as well).

There's plenty of people that screw over Sprint (getting 'work' discounts when you really shouldn't, using insurance to upgrade phones..hello TP2 for 'broken' TP1, etc.). You certainly wouldn't be the first nor the last :).
[HTC EVO 3D] ramiss:
I think the problem is that Sprint won't fix it for a small fee.

Oh wait they used to do that and suddenly stopped. I guess you should just return the whole thing then.
[HTC EVO 3D] xweaponx:
This may be true. However it is still not justification...

And yes, I am a boyscout...
