[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] IkeProductions89:
Hi I was using the liquid roms and i tried to install the google apps pack from clockwork mod and then my phone wouldnt let me boot into recovery mode. (the x button, volume button, camera button, etc or whatever you do) When I press those buttons to try and do a hard reset or change a rom, it shows up with an exclamation point and a picture of a phone beside it. ive searched everywhere but i still dont know how to do it. i think i need to reflash my recovery or something, could someone help me?

Im using a Motorola android Gen 1 btw

thanks :)

[HTC Sensation] mouzaihem:
So I did the temp root on my sensation yesterday and I used bloat freezer (paid app) to freeze some apps. Bloat freezer itself stopped working, but after I rebooted my phone so that I may use Android Booster (one of the apps that I froze) I noticed it was still missing from my app launcher. I attempted downloading it again, and it did, and then installed but I still can't find it to use it. All the other services/apps I froze all remain frozen. Thought that was interesting...

I thought that after reboot your phone goes back to the state before the root. Correct me if I'm mistaken however.
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
You are mistaken, disabling packages through temp root disables them until you re-enable the package. No offense but this is something you should be sure of before you start freezing packages. Also you should back-up anything that you freeze.

To use something that you have frozen you will need to re-temp-root your phone and re-enable/unfreeze the package.
[HTC Sensation] mouzaihem:
Oh okay, thanks. And I know that I have to re root to enable, I was just under the wrong assumption that the packages are enabled after reboot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] chinoquezada:
Hey Guys and Gals,

Do any of you experience terrible sound while video recording?

My recordings sound extremely saturated while recording concerts and such "high volume" situations. A buddy of mine with an iphone doing the same recording, right by my side, sounds way better than me.

I've noticed that this is a recurring question around the forums but I haven't been able to find an answer or a solution.

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Not much you can do if the SPL is too high without installing an attenuator internally. You could physically attenuate with a piece of cotton over the mic, but that'll muffle the highs. Inspire just has a more sensitive preamp than the iPhone I guess. If you really want to record concerts, you need equipment designed for that like the Edirol R09.

[HTC Sensation] c19932:
hey guys,

in Music, whenever I go to Artist --> albums, and select an album, it always shows the wrong album.

for example, in Artist ABC, there is album 1 and album 2. When I choose album 2, the track listing would appear for album 1. Then, when I press Back button, music app would force close.

I already tried clearing cache and rebooting.

any idea?
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
Use PlayerPro

Sorry, I haven't had that issue but you might try deleting any data related to HTC Music on your SD Card, clearing the app cache with your SD card unmounted and then reintroducing your sd card and trying again!
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a65lopez:
I'm coming from having a dinc. Had this tb for a week now, and not happy with the periodic loss of 3g. My dinc was rooted, but waiting to root this phone. When I've lost 3g, my coworker whom also has the tbolt, still has it. Is this issue just my phone?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRkL3AD3R:
I can't say for sure as I only kept mine unrooted for about all of 1 day, but it didn't drop 3G until about half a week after I rooted and ROM'ed. Once I put Das BAMF Gingerstripped on with the old leaked MR2 I was losing 3G about once every day. Only fix was a reboot really. Sometimes hopping in and out of plane mode worked, sometimes it didn't.

Now on CM7.1, I sometimes drop signal momentarily but it comes up pretty quick after. Still odd behavior though no doubt.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a65lopez:
That's why I was wondering if it was phone related. My wife and I got our phones at the same time and she hasn't noticed any loss. Just frustrated because I didn't have this with my dinc. I'll see what happens within the next few days
[HTC Sensation] ElChibo:
We’re thrilled to announce today that software updates to support bootloader unlocking will begin rolling out in August for the global HTC Sensation, followed by the HTC Sensation 4G on T-Mobile USA and the HTC EVO 3D on Sprint.

Hopefully it will be leaked before then
[HTC Sensation] KeeperOfThePizza:
It's great news. but i wouldnt be suprised if the people here on XDA crack it before then.

So stoked to see this!!!

We will have it by then so... Gr8 news ! :D
[HTC Sensation] dosplunder:
Just read this on facebook! Gave me butterflies. Haha.
[HTC Sensation] bucksbunny:
Allright!!

I am so looking forward to see the performance of this device on the great custom roms of the XDA chefs! :-)

Secretly ofcourse hoping that the geniuses on XDA unlock it before that time, but good to know that HTC has finally produced a date.

Bucks.
[HTC Sensation] djdant:
Great news! Hopefully the global version will work with the T-Mo sensation so we don't have to wait too long or it gets leaked! About time we got some official news!
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Wow, Big News! But let's (XDA) get it sooner than August rollout!!

[HTC Sensation] Namit1994:
Wonder if they will support the upcoming MyTouch 4G Slide?
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
Of course they'll "support" it, it's their phone :) As far as unlocking the bootloader, if it's not stock unlocked, then probably one or two months later it'll see it in an update just like the Sensation and Evo 3D.
[HTC Sensation] shadowofzeus:
Well if you look more closely at the article it says that the update will support the unlocking of the bootloader but the software to do it wont be available until September.
[HTC Sensation] Wiingy:
wonder if the Sensation from Bell will be S-Off?
[HTC Sensation] wineds:
hmm August could mean late August so could be 6 weeks...
[HTC Sensation] lucier:
Hi!

I agree with you, XDA developpers will crack the bootlaoder before August. Anyway, we will wait until spetember to root our Sensation because a lot of things will move and it will be harder to downgrade and install the new boot than wait

see ya
[HTC Sensation] aftab565:
Happy moment...
[HTC Sensation] wedajeneh:
Yeh, my money stays in my wallet untill Sensation bootloader is unlocked, if I don't buy another brand if I am tired of waiting HTC to undo what they shouldn't have done.
[HTC Sensation] FilipC:
better than nothing...

if they say it's so difficult to prepare a new bootloader, why not release the private key used to sign images? simple and quick solution...
[HTC Sensation] missinglink69:
I'm really gratefully for the developers on this forum. So Thank you, the developers from XDA will get this solve much sooner than HTC. When consumers purchase their cell phone at full price ($600.00) the should have the opinion to pick lock or unlock boot loader.
[HTC Sensation] Troden:
YAY about damn time too, just in time for my Bday hehe

hopefully it will get leaked before then anyways with some luck!

DAMN STRAIGHT!!!!
[HTC Sensation] Evil-Dragon:
They won't do that because they can never use that key again and it's been probably used on every device they have made to date. Giving it up would open every phone.

I think.
[HTC Sensation] Xaroth:
Technically (Being devil's advocate here) you pay for the device in the state that it is in, so that includes the locked bootloader.. the fact you don't agree with it is your own right, and demanding it to be unlocked is entirely up to HTC to fulfil.

However, I do fully agree with the request to have the bootloaders unlocked.. I just see it as an extra service from HTC, because they like me as a customer.
[HTC Sensation] rahan95:
Unless I'm not reading properly, August is just a software roll-out to prepair bootloader unlocking in...September !!!!
[HTC Sensation] MAMeingast:
Yes, that is my understanding as well...

Also, please note that the post always mentions "unlocking capabilities" - it does not say that the bootloader will be unlocked! (Big difference!) So I guess they will implement some way for the user to unlock the bootloader while at the same time making clear that by doing this, the user is voiding all warranty... Also, I am pretty sure that once you have unlocked your bootloader, you will not be able to re-lock it for exactly the same reason (you won't be able to restore the stock bootloader to send the device in for repairs under warranty)... So this is all not ideal... I really hope that the great devs here at xda will

beat HTC to unlocking the bootloader because September is quite some time to wait

find a way to unlock the bootloader while at the same time retaining the possibility to restore the stock bootloader for warranty reasons

I think this talk of "unlocking capabilities" is the reason why it is taking so long. They are not unlocking the bootloader, they are reconfiguring it so users can unlock it themselves...
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
Good point!
[HTC Sensation] FilipC:
They wouldn't sell too many next-gen "Sensations" if unlocked bootloader = lost warranty

I believe that all the "listening to you" is just PR BS, they are just afraid that people might get the already unlocked comparably powerful Samsung Galaxy S2
[HTC Sensation] MxFadzil92:
when you root your phones it is the consumer fault if they bricked their own phones and htc will never void the warranty... unlocked bootloader is your choice to use the custom rom or recovery htc just do their part to unlocked it? correct me if im wrong... that is what the lg representative told me when im using the p500...
[HTC Sensation] FilipC:
I believe it depends on the cause of the problem. If it's SW related and they can prove it, fine. If its HW related or your phone is capable of returning in the SW factory state, it shouldn't affect your warranty.
[HTC Sensation] ToddeSwe:
Does this apply to Vodafone branden devices as well?

Hi!

I wonder if this applies on Vodafone branded devices as well? Or must we do something more to get rid of the branding..?
[HTC Sensation] SterAllures:
Just read the article on Androidworld.nl, fantastic news!

Can't wait to see a lot of Custom Roms!
[HTC Sensation] MAMeingast:
+1

In most countries, consumer protection laws specify that the manufacturer has to provide warranty benefits if the device is faulty even if the device is rooted or the bootloader has been hacked, as long as it is not the rooting or bootloader unlocking that has caused the fault.

So, generally speaking, only a limited number of cases could lead to a voided warranty, such as a bricked device due to a botched bootloader hack/flash or a wrecked CPU due to exessive overclocking or something similar.

BUT - and this is where it gets interesting - you have to expect that manufacturers might want to fight you over this. If you send them a faulty device with a rooted OS or manipulated bootloader they might just refuse to fix it under warranty and then you would have to either convince them to do it anyway (by citing the respective laws, involving consumer protection agencies) or take legal action. I don't know how likely this is (I guess very unlikely as this is an issue that has affected all devices even in the WM days and I have never heard of anybody reporting issues when sending in devices with rooted or custom ROMs), but it is possible.

Of course, this begs the question why HTC doesn't simply unlock the bootloader if it legally doesn't really make any sense to proclaim that rooting or unlocking voids warranty. My guess is that they just want to scare noobs away from unlocking or rooting because HTC support centers would be overrun by allegedly "faulty" devices where the fault lies more in the nooby user than the device...
[HTC Sensation] kroimon:
Yeah, that's what I'm wondering, too... I wanted to buy a Sensation this week, but I'm unsure if I can get a Vodafone branded phone (which is the cheaper alternative) or if I should get an unbranded one to be on the safe side...
[HTC Sensation] forelli:
I don't agree with you: if you know the bootloader is unlockable on HTC devices, then you buy HTC devices and, based on that fact, you buy a device you know you'll be able the bootloader on it. When it's locked, you've been lied to, because if you knew the bootloader was locked you wouldn't have bought the device in the first place. Don't forget that it happened through a shift in HTC's policy, look back at the diamond, tilt, HD2, Blackstone, Desire, etc. Then was the time of the Desire Z (G2) and DHD. It was hard, but not impossible (thanks Team Douche and Apache14, among others). Now, it's not hard, it's very very hard to get perm root, but not impossible and it takes a lot of time and energy. Why did they do that on a device running an open-source OS? Maybe because they like contradiction?

f.
[HTC Sensation] leftheodo:
I don't see the reason why a bootloader unlock will void our warranty. SGS2 is shipped with an unlocked bootloader and a valid warranty. I believe the problem is rooting....
[HTC Sensation] FilipC:
Once you can load your device with custom ROM it's highly likely the ROM will have root access already unlocked, custom HTC traps removed

I'd like it if it was the same way as in old Symbian ways - only signed apps could have been used, but it was possible to get a certificate for own device which was valid for a short period of time

this way only people who know what they are doing (a.k.a. able to read plain english how-to) would install custom ROMs and it's less likely that these people would damage their phones
[HTC Sensation] baudy2:
HTC is just stupidly loosing the potential buyers for Sensation. Samsung already sold more than 3.000.000 of SGS II.

I'm now a happy Nexus One user and just waiting for Sensation to be S-OFF'ed and routed to buy it.
[HTC Sensation] slvrbllt:
Well buddy,

Ensure that the touchscreen issues that are affecting the Sensation have been solved before buying one. I have sold mine because of them.

I had a chat with a customer care operator at HTC and they denied the existence of the problem. Despite several forums reporting it, plenty of youtube clips showing the issue, they say it does not exist!

I must say that I really loved the Sensation until the touch screen went crazy. And I would get rid of my Desire S in less than 5 minutes to buy a new Sensation if they ever solved the issues.

Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] Hater69:
sweet, great news but again XDA will likely have it cracked 1st, I am so ready to try out some new ROMS
[HTC Sensation] MxFadzil92:
me too having the same problem... hopefully once the device gets s-off and custom kernel source or any developers could help to fix this touchscreen issues... :D:D
[HTC Sensation] RaDeN305:
Am I the only one not really excited about this? September is a long ways away in the tech world. By then the rumored Samsung Hercules may be out and devs will be all over that device. If XDA devs can't unlock the bootloader before September (I think they will), I think interest in this device will already be waning in anticipation of better, faster and more dev friendly devices that are just around the corner.

Although I don't believe HTC owes us an unlocked bootloader as some on here believe, I do think it's in their best interest to have this out much sooner.
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
The sky is falling!!

I hope you didn't just say you were lied to?? Wasn't long ago HTC announced a change in policy....hasn't been long at all. From that point until September is NOT very long. People need to just relax.

If anyone bought a Sensation, somehow thinking the bootloader was unlocked, it nobodys fault but their own. Period. HTC didn't lie to anyone about this. People get so worked up over a phone. Research a phone before ya buy it. Period.

Thank you HTC....fantastic news!!!!

Wont be long now till the fun begins! For now though, TeamWin and Eugene are keeping me happy as can be :D
[HTC Sensation] WorldWide60:
I have to agree with you. In the past 5 months, I've used 6 different phones on a regular basis. By September, I'll more than like either be about to buy another phone, or have already purchased another phone. While it's good that HTC seems to be following through with unlocking the bootloaders, I also think it could have been accomplished much quicker.
[HTC Sensation] monx®:
Hope devs here will continue to crack the bootloader & not trusting 100% htsee sugar-coated confusing statement. I forgot where i put my sensation anyway :D
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Seems as if some people are constantly setting themselves up for a big letdown. HTC did nothing wrong...here. They actually did everything right....they listened to us! They didn't have to. 95% of the people that buy HTC phones have no idea or would ever care to know what rooting is or what a bootloader is. They are catering to a very small minority here.

For the vast majority of us....this is fantastic news and is not much of a wait at all. I plan on having my Sensation for the next 1 1/2 to 2 years. Even if HTC never unlocked the bootloader, I'd still keep this phone for the next 2 years. It's a beauty.
[HTC Sensation] leftheodo:
Not everyone can afford to buy a new $600 ( $900 in my country ) phone every 2 months you know.... Some of us have to raise money for months to buy one.

@Hoggles

I (was) bought sensation due to its

superb

advertisement/video/etc. (super multimedia phone? :p) qualcrap base phone is forever a crap i guess. we never know its so hard for dev to crack the locked bootloader & htsee sweet promise makes dev lost their interest to focus on cracking it imho.

i owned lot of htsee's devices before & im done with their too good to be true marketing ads :D
[HTC Sensation] seanyowl:
Now that HTC has given a time frame it will be interesting to see if the carriers take notice, I will be watching Vodafone UK to see what their policy on this is, I have left several posts on the Vodafone UK forum to this effect but do not expect any results back as Vodafone do not seem to be anywhere near as customer aware as HTC.

This can also be judged by the crapware/bloatware that Vodafone have installed and by their current modification of the Market App (total wasters)...

I also would appreciate any Dev's cracking the bootloader as i think most carriers are too stupid to realize what their customers really want (total blinkered) and will certainly drag their feet or not do anything.

If this happens with Vodafone i will certainly sell the Sensation.... but i will have to buy another that is S-OFF :)
