[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] will8578:
my word so much stuff involved with the desire, is there a best hboot to use ie cm7 oxygen?, what are they actually for? i know the cache and that, but how do i know which is best for me? i eventually want an miui rom on there, but i want to start with easier things, say if i want to use leedroid GB or leedroid hd gb, how do i know which hboot is for this? thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
CM7 Hboot = more space for apps, most ROM's support it (including LeeDrOiD HD port)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] will8578:
brilliant, thank you for your time and patience
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] will8578:
so many great looking roms to pick from, i think i'll either start with oxygen or cm7, its funny when i had a wildfire i hated sense, but i wanted it on my blade, some very tasty sense roms aswell, so excited lol
[Nexus S General] ammarmalik:
You look at HTC forums and you see Sense 3 ROMS for the Desire or Desire Z or pretty much any HTC phone. Similarly when Sense 2.1 was new it was already ported onto the Desire. So why hasnt the UI of Galaxy S2 or S1 been ported to Nexus S? I'm not talking about just theming, but a proper port of Touch Wiz
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Because TouchWiz is closed-source and no developer wants to put their time and effort into porting TouchWiz? It's very difficult to port a framework all from scratch.

The best thing you could do to come close to TouchWiz is to use the TouchWiz launcher which may be found in the Themes section of NS.
[Nexus S General] ammarmalik:
isnt HTC sense also close sourced? Atleast it was in the Desire HD era
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Yes. I never said it was impossible to do.
[Nexus S General] ammarmalik:
yes I can imagine it would be difficult. But I also think there's something more to it. Sense UI 3.0 was ported to Desire even before the first Sense 3 phone was officially out. So either its really easy to port Sense UI or overly difficult to port touch wiz. But its just strange no one has given it a go. Heck there's a Sense 3 ROM for Nexus S :P
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
This is not the Desire, Desire Z or whatever phone you think it is.

The Sense 3.0 ROM is not a fully functional ROM. A lot of functionality is incomplete and it is not a "daily driver" ROM whatsoever. A lot of custom kernels also don't support the ROM.

Also, the ROM hasn't been updated for a long time now. It has been on a long hiatus since to the IMEI renaming problem that has caused bricks on people's phones. Not wanting to reproduce the talk about that but that's what happened.

The Nexus S is a pure Google device. If TouchWiz was going to be the deal breaker, you should of gone with Galaxy S2 or Galaxy S series.

Talking is easy. Doing it on the other hand is another problem.

my sensation is suffering from a problem when charging it doesn't reach 100% it stucks on about 88% if i reboot it' it becomes 100% I don't know what is the problem what can i do about it??

Shut the phone off and the charge it. Should really 3-4 hours from a completely dead battery. See if the LED ever turns green.

I've the same issue doesn't happen every time i charge but a reboot and it goes from 70-80% to 100%

Do u have any battery widget? The 88% is based on the widget or from your settings?

It happened to me but its due to my batt widget...

I have flashed to the newest Deck rom and matr1x kernel. I plugged my phone in overnight to charge and woke up to just the touch buttons on the button on and the phone will not wake up from sleep mode. It has happened twice before just with the phone sitting idle as well.

Is this something that other people are experiencing or is there a setting I am missing to prevent this from happening?

Any and all input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm in a bind. I had Netflix working on Nook Color with cm7.1.0 RC1 the 2.6.23.9 kernel. It just suddenly gave me the 'device unauthorized' messages. Here's what I tried:

Netflix 1.2.1 version (the one that nags about needing an upgrade)

Netflix 1.2.2 version

'Nook Netflix fixer' and reboot. I can verify that the manufacturer line changes from bn to HTC

'Nook Odds and Ends' and reboot I can verify this also changes the build.prop

Busybox installer - 1.19 installed successfully.

Any ideas? Full erase and re-image my only next option? It did work for a few weeks then just quick. Very frustrated trying to fix this. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks

Hi all

I would like to know if some software can make the speaker more louder or maybe some manipulations in advanced system setting.

Thanks

P.S:forgive me for my bad english
[Milestone 2 General] AragornPE:
PowerAmp has an equalizer preset made just for phone speakers. It gives some punch. I don't know of any modification on the system that increases the volume, and I advice you to not mess with it =P

Rocking with my M2 and XDA app
[Milestone 2 General] CeReALe_KiLLeR:
Arff,i already have PowerAMP with this preset but the sound is not much louder with it.

The alarm volume dont wake up me compare to my old n95:(

Thanks to you

[Nook Color General] ericjmense:
So I just got CM7 running on my SD card and was loading Netflix when I noticed that the icon with 4 boxed that lets u view your apps that is located in the small 3 icon tool bar thing at the bottom of the screen is gone. Is there another way to get to my apps or some way to get back the icon.
[Nook Color General] nicbennett:
You might try hitting menu on the home screenm-->settings-->ADWLauncher-->Reset ADW

Just a shot in the dark here, but I'm guessing that will fix it.

Also in the menu you can go to general behavior-->Swipe up action and swipe down action, which will allow you to set what happens when you swipe up or down on the homescreen. Personally, I don't even use the 3 little icons, I just have swiping down display the app drawer.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
On the Home screen, tap and hold on the empty space to bring up "Add to Home screen" window, then tap the "Launcher Actions" then select "Open/close App Drawer". It will bring the icon back on your Home screen, from there, you can drag it back to one of the 3 boxes on the Dock bar.
[Nook Color General] bigbob23:
I kept having to reset it and got tired of that so I deleted the bar and put the icon on the screen itself. It hasn't disappeared yet since doing that.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
It does not "disappear", you're removing it. Put it back and select "Lock desktop". You'll have to unlock when you want to change stuff on the desktop.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rastamit:
we have a perfect phone with amazing screen. but... .

its well knowed to any android owener that allways the wall-paper maximum traction on the screen is leaving a few percent down to dock and his apps\symbols and a few percent up to the bar and his apps\symbols, while the background of the bar\docks stays black\glass.

back in my merry days with the WM6.5 I recall there was software that really stretched the entire wallpaper including the bar and dock, and clearly saw the apps\symbols on the dock\bar but the background of them was the Wall-paper i cosed.

it was very Beautiful and really Reflected and showed the ALL SCREEN.

needless 2 say that worked on\with any luncher !

Utilization of the screen background picture - really makes an amazing phone.

does Anyone know such a method\app that doing the same in Android and works with our phone ?

tnx
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] MuayThaiFighter8:
If you use a launcher like launcherpro and you download on app like Flikie Wallpapers you can stretch your wallpaper and see it through all of your screens and dock. If you select a picture do it with Flikie to get it on all the screens.

I flashed the Cognition Cognition S2 v1.14 and the phone was wortking.

after a problem with market updates i wiped the cache through CWM and warket was working again updating even large files. May i clicked on something, that i am not aware of too.

however i notced after a time a message "SIM card not present", after checking more details the Baseband Versions is reported as "Unknown".

I tried:

- flash a stock KE7, KF2 ROM with Odin

- reflash the Cognition ROM with CWM

- reflash radio separately with Odin

- restore two previous Nandroid backups with CWM

nothing worked ...

Is there any possibility to repair the phone except RMA it ?

thanks.

To RAM you will need a stock or original rom and reset custom rom counter to zero.

Custom rom and root both void warranty .

after i get it, i will immediately reset the counter, flash stock FW, wipe user data, format Internal SD and claim warranty.

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Hello,

Also S-OFF (although XTC not Alpharevx) also rooted and running LBC v0.5.2 and now v0.5.3. If your signature is to be believed also on same RADIO.

I'm on T-mobile in the UK and have just this minute tested and I've no problem with sending and receiving MMS.

Hope that this helps....
[HTC Desire S] stonedandhappy:
Have you got a custom rom installed?

I did mine last week and have had no problems with MMS.

I've tried CoreDroid, LBC and I'm currently on Virtuous Unity and no problems on any of them.

Maybe you could try reflashing your rom.

Did you select the correct O2 set up when you first flashed i.e. O2 PAYG, O2 Monthly.

You may have selected the wrong one as I believe they have different settings, though I may be wrong.
[HTC Desire S] det66:
It is Ben took your advice on what to install .Internet works fine and so does txt and emails ,so not sure what it is tried adding new apn but no joy.Well it aint a big loss people can email or use whatsap if they want to send me pics.

Ta for the reply though
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Would trying to reflash the radio be any good?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I can't imagine that it would (although I may be wrong) I would have thought that if your texts, phone calls and your data works then your radio is ok.

Must be something in your config as @stonedandhappy suggests....either that or a local network problem?

If your phone is network unlocked then try to borrow someone else SIM to see if it will work from your device which will at least rule out the local network or identify the device as the problem.
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Yeah re flashing the radio didn't work. Will try the other apns and then the sim though I think this is locked to o2.

Cheers lads
[HTC Sensation] absolution8:
I have been researching online about using car aux-in cable for making phone calls.

I heard that some phones work and some do not. In those cases, when it doesn't work, it means that the person in the phone cannot hear what you say, because by default the mic is muted when something is plugged in to the jack.

With HTC Sensation, does this happen? Is the phone mic muted when a headset/aux cable is plugged in to the phone? If yes, is there any workaround? What is the general solution to make phone calls via aux cable?

I heard that some people might use the griffin cable with mic, but since my aux port is located where the shifter is, I am not sure how the quality would be. Any idea?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
well, i hope this answers ur question

i have made calls/received calls via aux (when im listening to music in da car n get a phone call i dont uplug it, just answer)

i talk thru the mic normally and i hear the other person from tha car speakers.

so i guess the mic is not muted
[HTC Sensation] niddnet:
From previous experience - though not with Sensation, as I'm all blue-tooth now, the following was true

If you plug in a normal 3.5mm TRS jack (stereo headphone / line-in / etc) the phone detects it as headphones and not headset, so the device realised there was no "in-line" mic, and used the phone's microphone itself.

A better option (which I did) was to fashion my own lead - using another HTC headset, but removing the two earphones, and soldering the cables to an in-line socket. This worked well, because I had a microphone clipped to me, with remote control for music (don't want to touch the phone when driving now, do we!!) and the stereo audio feed back to the car speakers. Cost me about £3 in total, including the second headset.

I would imagine this to be the same for the Sensation too, as all these sockets have various detection mechanisms, to make the right things happen, depending on what you connect.

Good luck, and safe driving!

I'm not sure if its just me, but how many people have seen and tried out the new market? It looks A LOT like windows phone 7s UI. With all of the lawsuits being filed lately, does anyone see microsoft going after google?
[Epic 4G General] mikerowes69:
Who knows. Corporate lawsuits are always on going and will always be something excepted. Most of the time they are used as a way of stopping your competitors or at least trying to compete against you. Really not very legitimate. Apple is a prime example. They steal from others, like Microsoft has done for many yrs and start legal action. I can't make this stuff up, research it.
[Epic 4G General] Pete720:
+1 Look at Apple, it seems like they are suing everyone in the smartphone and tablet market. I believe Samsung is one of their targets for phones being too similar to the iPhone. I had an iPhone and IMO the Epic pisses on that thing anyway. No wonder Apple is mad lol.
[Epic 4G General] Dulanic:
Everyone is suing everyone because the ****ty US patent system allows it. The US patent system needs a complete overhaul.
[Epic 4G General] htc_joe:
I like the system as the way it is. It keeps tons and tons of people employed and they make a lot of money. And no I am not a lawyer or patent holder. I am a pc deployment tech.
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
havent tried it yet, but from screenshots I guess I can see why people would say that. So were going from xbox looking to winmo7 looking? I guess its a slight improvement... aside from aesthetics, does it navigate better? The thing I like about android is that it will probably change way before winmo does, just like TW will move on from its similarities to iOS way before iOS does... so who cares? As far as lawsuits, it does appear to just be corporate tactics, even if just to get a headline on engadget for a day, free advertising. I love apples one of wanting to see what samsung has coming in the future... looks like apple is developing something new, and this is how they do it!
[Epic 4G General] Wizard Knight:
All publicity is good publicity. "apple suing this" "apple suing that" "apple, apple, apple"

Microsoft is already making 5 dollars for every android device that is activated. Due to some patents they soaked up and now use it against Google.

[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
No they aren't
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
This, not settled yet (patent purchases from nortel still need reviewed by trade commission and fcc), and...

Firstly, love the new market.

Second, good freaking luck if microsoft tried that. Remember, this just the market's new interface. The "look and feel" you're refering to is windows phone 7's entire homescreen UI. Apples to oranges

On a side note; this is exactly why I think that a lot of apple's suit against samsung I going to go down in flames. They're trying to compare iOS's homescreen UI to touchwiz's app drawer. This would make te other half of the suit, that the external hardware appearance of the device's look similar, also somewhat shaky. I have a hard time believing that a judge will buy the arguement that people are choosing one device over another because of the external aesthetics alone (if you go with my first theory that the UI part will be thrown out), considering there have certainly been other devices with a middle select button that were never taken to court.
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
Apple thinks that they invented electronic devices. They have some pretty wild claims. Glad they don't make cars.....could you imagine that mess? They'd be claiming they invented the wheel, anything with 4 wheels is just copying them. They'd be trying to trademark items like "Sports Car", or "Coupe", and "Windshield Wiper".

They need to be slapped down with common sense approaches in the legal system.
[Epic 4G General] Jasonhunterx:
They can't Sue Samsung because Samsung had a phone that looked similar to iPhone before it came out look it up
[Epic 4G General] cds0699:
Good post, this is actually pretty spot on in my opinion. All these apple lawsuits accomplish 2 objectives for Apple as far as I can see.

1) Gets Apples name out in the tech blogs/sites regularly and gets the publicity.

2) Makes software and hardware manufacturers spend more time dealing with public/court/etc. After all, time is money.
[Epic 4G General] Zor Omega:
Yeah they are.

From cellblock D
[Epic 4G General] qipengart:
Indeed I used to admire Apple a few years ago but now I find them distasteful due to their haughty attitude. It isn't like that they invented the entire world.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
No they aren't. Leave statements of fact to people who know what they are talking about.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
As Apple said, its about the "Ecosystem" they don't have to be right...they just have to point fingers....

It kinda works like this, if you keep claiming a person is a "murderer" and spread the word around, people somewhere deep down will partly believe it. Negative news travels faster then positive news. So the general public will gain the impression that everyone is "Stealing" or "Copying" Apple regardless of whether its true or not...
[Epic 4G General] professoroak:
Which phone is this? But I think the problem is that most likely Samsung didn't actually patent the design of their phone. Thats what Apple does. They patent everything in the broken patent system, especially generic non-tangible things like the rough layout of their UI. They even go as far as to trademark the "highway 280" logo for their IOS maps app. Then they go off and sue everyone that relatively may somewhat be sorta kinda similar to them. All this instead of simply making a new and more innovative product. Hey if you can't beat em, litigate em.
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:

[Epic 4G General] josidhe:
LOL, this is a great example of a fundamental lack of perspective in the anti-MS camp. People fail to grasp that a functionality is patented, not necessarily a color scheme, font selection, and graphic style. It's reminiscent of the blatant cues KDE took from Windows releases over the past 15 years while simply responding "We use an entirely different gradient on this element and the font is different and the corners are different and this button is on the left instead of the right. Totally original!"

I <3 the open community's accomplishments, but MAN they HATE owning up to their behavior sometimes.

These guys were giddy with accusations over iOS5's new notifications, but damned if anything ever done on Android gets compared to Windows Phone.
