[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniels7:
I had the same issue ;)

Did you created an SD-Ext Partition on your SD-Card? Without the Lockscreen and some other things won't work, since they are stored on SD-Ext
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bratac91:
I have made an sd-ext partition but i still have no lockscreen! is there any workaround or solution?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomas_fogh:
I have the same issue. I first installed AceSMod007 (v34) with out creating a ext4 partition, and got a lot of low storage message. I then wiped the SD card and created the FAT32, swap and ext4 partitions. Did a factory reset from Recovery and flashed the AceSMod007 zip again. Everything seems to be working now except for the lock screen?

Did I need to wipe something else before flashing again?

EDIT:

BTW, there's no lockscreens available in the settings...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
what mean the lockscreen doesn't work? Is there no lockscreen? or u can't unlock ur phone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomas_fogh:
There's no lockscreen. When I press the power button it just show the status bar and the background image and nothing more. I can unlock by press the track button. If I go to the settings to change the lockscreen, there's none installed.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
how did u created the ext partition? what recovery u using? u are using hte AceSMod stock or cm7 one?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomas_fogh:
ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.5. I booted Gparted from USB. The ext partition seems to be working. App2SD installs the apps I download to the ext partition...

Something I need to wipe before trying to flash again? (I did install AceSMod007 the first time with out a ext partition :o )
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
if the app2sd its working correctly, then is ok

but if the first time u installed it without ext partition, then some part of the rom (like the lockscreen and some minor things) was not flashed!

should be enough only to wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash the rom again..

if at the next boot doesn't work, try a full wipe..wipe data/factory reset (u will lose ur settings and everything..make a nandroid just in case), cache and dalvik..and flash again..

edit: i think ur recovery is 2.5.0.7
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomas_fogh:
When I select Wipe Dalvik Cache in the Recovery menu it says: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)

I then press Yes - Wipe Dalvik Cache.

It then says Dalvik Cache wiped.

Should I just ignore the first error?

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
Well, i think u can ignore it..I received it too in the past when wiping dalvik cache, i dont remember exactly why i was getting it..but should be ok
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomas_fogh:
Tried wiping cache+dalvik. Still no luck. The wiped data/factory reset+cache+dalvik. And still no luck. :(

I could see that the apps I had downloaded previously were still present. Should I try wiping the SD-Ext?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
did u flashed the rom after this??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomas_fogh:
yeah, I did... ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomas_fogh:
I also tried deleting all partitions on the SD card and making new ones, wiped data, cache and dalvik cache, flashed the ROM again, but the lock screen is still not working. And I got a message saying my apps had been reestablished...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarguy:
I have a Telus HTC Desire, S-OFF, CM7 r2 HBOOT, running RCMix S (tested with both 2.0 and 2.0.1).

On a recent road trip, using Navigation, after about 30 minutes on the road, my Desire rebooted. After taking it off my universal mount, I felt that the lower part of the phone was very hot. I have done numerous other tests with Navigation (mobile data on, bluetooth connected to car kit, obviously GPS on), and it keeps overheating within 20-30 minutes usage.

I've read a few threads here about Desires overheating when using the GPS, I was wondering if any other Telus users have experienced this problem?

After many overheats, I decided to put my Desire back to stock to warranty it (I've heard the motherboard needs to be changed..).

I am now S-ON, stock HBOOT, and back to a Telus RUU. Now I can't seem to make the phone overheat under the same circumstances.

So I'm wondering... Is it because of the RCMix S rom (overclocking??)? Should I still try to warranty it? And have any other Telus users experienced similar (with stock rom or otherwise)?

Any help or advice is appreciated, thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypercaine:
I have the same problem. I'm not on Telus, obviously, since I'm from Serbia. I'm on Telenor. Every rom i tried, including the mentioned RCMix S, LeeDrOiD, Cool Sensation, Cool Sense, Cool BravoS v1, and even Oxygen and dev null. Everytime when GPS is working, it just overheats and restarts. Maps or navigation working or not, it just restarts and loops until i pull out the battery and let it cool down. Does anybody know the solution to that?

Some help would really be appreciated.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmitr:
Just a quick reply here for you guys,

I'm on Telus as well an have done numerous road trips with my Desire. Nav (GPS) running, music to car speakers through bluetooth, and the odd call to my Wife, fuel log entry etc.

I did notice the phone get warm but what concerned me was the phone not charging.

There is a thread on here about it, and after a quick search I couldn't find it so I take no credit for this but:

The thread pointed out that sometimes the desire, when plugged into an AC outlet in car mode would not go into ac chrge mode (1 ma charge). It would go into usb charge mode instead. Because of this the battery would run down quickly. The solution was set up your phone, once in it's cradle, leaving it plugged in power down.......wait.......reboot.....and it would then properly enter ac charging mode.

I tested this and it works, after an 8 hour BC road trip with everything running (and screen max brightness the whole time) my battery was still 100%, and as well my phone was not hot.

Can't remember if this was a gingerbread issue, custom kernel issue, etc. Like I said, quick response, I would have to search more to provide a more detailed answer.......but try this anyways.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiwiflasher:
I have a Telstra gsm desire running runnymede 5.3 with latest snq kernel and get the same prob. Have tried lots of roms only one that navigation works on without overheat reboot is miui roms. Shame cause I really like sense 3.5, and runnymede 5.3 is amazing smooth and fast so would love a fix for this bug.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Monkey:
Hey All,

I posted a question the other day that nobody got to... no worries.

I have obtained a full root. I have SU and have root apps running like TiBu, SetCPU and others and they work fine. I have root, I just can't get CWM.

I used this link at first to get both root and CWM. Like I said... root worked fine, CWM not so much. I have tried several times following those same steps to flash the cwm again and again but I only end up with an Android with an exclamation point.

I also tried a second computer running the same steps -- same results.

What I'm wondering now -- Can I use this other guide and instead of following the full guide, I skip to the CWM part. I should not have any problems with that, correct? The first part is getting temp root and the last part is full root. I already have full root, so can I skip to the CWM?

Or does anyone else have ideas?

Thank you!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donharden2002:
I'm not that knowledgable about all of this stuff, I tried that method last night to try to root my phone and like others get stuck at the point where its dl the volds. I think this method was built for hc 3.0 and 3.01.

It won't hurt to give it a try though.

I just wish i could get root. To me this thing is a nightmare to hack. I managed to get my atrix rooted with cwm, unlocked with a custom rom, and this tab is tougher for me to crack.

Best of luck to you.

Version 1.8 (Build 2116.27276) is now out....

I received an update to the HTC Hub through the Marketplace. Anybody out there know what the update entails? I haven't noticed anything different. Probably Mango compatibility if I were to guess. I couldn't find any documentation through the HTC site. Thanks!

Phone: HTC Trophy (NoDo)

Carrier: Verizon Wireless (US)

I am on vodafone Greece and i did not noticed any new feature
[Windows Phone 7 General] moonshines:
if you did not receive the update, go to marketplace and go to htc apps. tap on htc hub and it will have you download the udpate. it worked for me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] htctp2-89:

[Windows Phone 7 General] moonshines:
tested it if itll resume to its state where you left it,(mango fast app switching) it still doesnt.

live tile seem to be more LIVE than the previous version. it updated the tile as soon as i got back to the start screen.

these are the only improvements ive seen so far.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mava0025:
Different for me...

My tile now doesn't show temperature or weather condition only appears mini icons of htc applications and a static sun on background, before appears moon or sun, showers, where I am, etc...only when I enter I can see the information.

I see in reviews at marketplace that other people has this problem... live tile doesn't work now
[Windows Phone 7 General] mava0025:
solution found

I unistall and reinstall the hub and now live tile works fine...

[Defy General] Agge_:
I've had my Motorola Defy for ~3,5 months now and I'm happy with it exept some quality issues.

The battery seems to fit very bad and is wobbling when moving the phone quickly.

The volume buttons are also making sounds seems to be bad fitted as well.

It doesn't exactly scream quality over my unit, and my question is:

Is my Defy defect, and should be replaced? Or is this something they can get away with?

Enjoy my video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI7rEVuNbs4
[Defy General] bobbyphoenix:
No it's not defective. They all do that. I put a little piece of foam under the one corner of the battery to stop the wiggle. The volume rocker is just a plastic piece between the case and the actual buttons that are underneath. The real buttons are sealed for water resistance, so the plastic button that you press will wiggle a bit because it's not really attached to anything, but rather it floats there.
[Defy General] brookie353:
My battery wobbles about, fixxed it by jamming a slightly folded piece of paper between the chassis of the phone and the battery at the top near the camera.

My volume keys are also wobbly so to speak, but I havent found a fix.

Im not bothered about getting exchanged either, its too much hassle.
[Defy General] scrannel:
My battery doesn't wobble. My volume keys don't rattle. Today is 7/11 you should be lucky otherwise.
[Defy General] zakoo2:
yeah, my battery wobbles too, and i too put a piece of paper between the battery and the case :) never had any problems with the volume rocker though...

sent from my cm7 defy
[Defy General] Agge_:
Thanks for your replies guys. It seems like this behaviour is standard on the Defy. Which is a shame. The quality feeling over it is completely blown away and makes me really sad to know what an excellent phone it could've been (Without having to McGuywer things).

Well, will have to think about returning it or not. I really want to have a non-wobbling phone when I've paid several hundred dollars for it.

Thanks again.
[Defy General] 999phonebug:
A little wobbling is okay, and sometimes desirable, you have to take into account the thermal expansion characteristics of different materials.

If everything fits "too well", it's more easy to break under extreme temperature.
[Defy General] boonhoong:
Designing a key that has little to no wobble is very difficult if you consider that there are variations in every part that make up the design. There's the variation of the tactile switch under the key, variation in the placement of the switch itself on the circuit board, variation in the injection molded plastic housing, variation in the injection molded plastic key that you interact with on the housing.

If you were to design without considering all the possible combinations of the parts with different variations, you can end up with 2 scenarios

1. The keys are so tight that they actuate the tact switch permanently without you having to press on them.

2. The keys are so loose that even when you press down hard, they don't come in contact with the tact switches on the circuit board, and you don't have any function.

Functionality is always top priority. Wobbly keys are the side-effects of manufacturing variations, and we'll just have to live with them. Out of 1000 products, you may get 1 where every part seems to fall into the right combination, and you get the perfect fit. If so, you're damn lucky. On the other hand, you may also get 1 where every part seems to fall into the wrong combination to make a super wobbly key, but the design would have taken into account that it would remain functional. If so, you're unlucky, but it's not considered a defect because it still functions when you press it.
[HTC Desire S] chaelli:
Hi

just a short question.. what are the advantages of having a rooted phone if one doesn't want to install a custom rom?

- Can I remove all the crap-ware that was delivered with the phone? e.g. Navigation

- Can I still get the HTC-OTA Updates?

- Can I use the market as usual?

Thanks & Cheers

Michael
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Yes, you can remove bloat ware and still use market, but not sure about ota updates

You'll also be able to perform full nandroid backups of your device

With extra addition of a new kernel you'll be able to over clock cpu.
[HTC Desire S] Juls317:
I don't think you can use OTA's. but all you would have to do is unroot, update and reroot
[HTC Desire S] mikeyd85:
Ad free Android. ;)

Shoot Me
[HTC Desire S] chaelli:
perfect - thanks for the information. I rooted it.. works perfectly.. finally "htc locations" is gone!!
[HTC Desire S] ChrisCB:
the qestion i ask myself here: why wouldnt you want to flash a custom rom, when having the ability to do so?

im currently running lbc mod and im very happy with it :)

plus it seems to me that the roms that are out now are just the beginning! :p
[HTC Desire S] chaelli:
why would I change? stock rom does what I need it to do.. if I find a reason I can still change...
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
You should at least try a custom ROM before you decide to stay on shipped stock, you can always re-stock by running an RUU.

You'll find that a good custom, I personally like LBC MOD is simply a faster, improved, better looking version of stock with less bugs and added functionality.

Otherwise its like buying a car and never using the top gear. :D
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET OTA!!!!!! STEP WAWY FROM OTA!!!!!!! DO NOT download OTA's if you have acustom rom!!!!!!! CLEAR ???????!!!!!! :eek:

What people don't seem to realise sometimes is that there is a difference between S-off and rooting. With the old Desire it was root first then S-off, which was a safer environment for a noob or the perpetually impetuously stupid. Root gives you Administrator access, like on a PC rather than a guest account, but S-off allows total control over system and data partitions for instance and a whole shed full of stuff that even some dev's don't regularly need. Be careful with S-off!

STEP AWAY FROM THE OTA!
[HTC Desire S] chaelli:
@infernalByte: this is true for custom roms.. but no for s-off & root - right?

@ben_pyett: RUU is the recovery mode from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130004 ? If its as easy I could try and than just restore the backup... but I would need to install all applications again on the custom rom right?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
If you install a custom you shouldn't apply OTA updates. The person who created the custom ROM in the first place will often incorporate the OTA updates within the next release of their ROM.

No RUU, is a ROM Update Utility which is a program that you run on your PC to install a ROM. See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002506

Although to be able to try a custom you must first use the AlphaRexv software to make your phone S-OFF.

If you then wish to take a backup of your stock you will additionally need to install a recovery like clock work mod (CWM) or the EXT4 one as you listed above. You will also need to use the ginger break software to get root on your phone before you can take a full useful backup (a Nandroid backup).

Yes after installing custom you would need to install all applications.

I suggest that you use the appbrain site and the application to manage your market applications..its assists re-installs.

I also would suggest that you don't rush into any of this.....you should read around the forum for a few more days until you are perfectly happy with what you are doing, ask more questions if needed.
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
The HTC OTA is not expecting you to be rooted. STEP AWAY FROM THE OTA!

An RUU is a HTC's Routine User Utility and they are what HTC's techies use to fix phones, RUU's are easy to administer but it will wipe EVERYTHING of your phone, data, your rom, your Hboot, some of them will even change your radio. EVERYTHING. Use an RUU and you will no longer be rooted or S-off.
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
Damn, beaten to it!! :D
[HTC Desire S] chaelli:
thank you two for the additional information.. so RUU is a last resort.. usually I could use the backup I created with ext4.

I'm going to read some more about the different roms and decide if I want to try one...
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
Your welcome. :D

As for flashing roms; you may as well try one. At the moment all roms bar one that I can find use Sense, so all shouldn't look that different from HTC stock. Miui is the exception, it is AOSP (Android Open Source Project) and looks radically different from what your used too.

Just do a Nandroid back up, then you can always wipe and restore.
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
RUU=ROM Upgrade Utility. It's just a way of flashing stock ROM to phone via usb connection with pc.

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] chaelli:
Last stupid question (hopefully :): nandroid backup is what I do in the restore menu when I choose "backup"

And a follow up.. sd-card contents are not backuped and also not overwritten when installing custom roms? But I still need to reinstall the apps on there?
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
yes sd card contents are not backed up

& you need to reinstall the apps from your sd card,the apps from the old rom are replaced with the apps from the new rom
[HTC Desire S] x8h8kenan:
You can do 1 and 3, I don't think you can do 2 if you remove the udpate file from the ROM.
[HTC Desire S] lynxnoon:
After rooting I still receive OTA updates (Arabic support)

Will there be any effect if I install it?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinful Animosity:
I installed CM7 as per the instructions, but now I can't get into the OS. I can't even get back into CWM.

I installed everything just fine, and when I booted up, I got the CM7 splash screen, and then a total black screen. No matter what I've done to the SD card, it just stays at the black screen.

I installed Dalingrins (sp?) OC kernel too, so I don't know if that could of messed it up in any way

My NC is a blue sticker, by the way.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rastven:
Can you boot to CWM from your SD card?

You may need to repartition your nook to the old setup and then attempt to load CM7
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinful Animosity:
Nope. not at all. I've tried putting the CWM image on the SD card from several different PC's in case mine was just messing with me. But no go.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rastven:
Try a new CWM image and/or a new SD card.

I actually found an old sandisk class 2 4Gb SD card worked great to make my bootable CWM SD Card.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
1: Please don't say brick when referring to the NC. Until you have to JTAG a G1, you don't know what brick is.

2: Are you trying to boot CM off of an SD card or the internal memory? MAKE SURE you downloaded the eMMC kernel (not SD) if you are installing to the internal memory.

3: How about some more details of what kernel/rom version you downloaded, file name, how you went about it, etc. Then instead of this needless back and forth, we can solve it in one go, eh?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
"I installed CM7 as per the instructions" = which instructions?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinful Animosity:
Okay, first, no need to be rude.

Second, I have JTAGed a device. My Captivate had to be JTAGed after a bad ODIN flash. So thanks so much for telling me what to not call my device that won't boot up no matter what I do. Also, thanks for telling me what I do and don't know.

I downloaded the eMMC kernel, Dalingrin's OC kernel. I followed this guide in General: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1030227 I followed every single step.

I didn't cut any corners, and I did exactly as it told me. Only thing I didn't do was re-partition it.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
Looks like you tried to install CM7 into your internal memory (per instructions).

I assume that you have not flash CwM internally.

If that's the case, re-prepare the bootable CwM uSD again, boot the NC back into CwM recovery, do format /system, format /data, format /cache first then install the zip file (CM7, gapps) then go back and wipe data/factory reset. Remove uSD then reboot.

Give it some times to load.
