[Desire General] Smii:
Why would an OTA update on a rooted device brick it? That doesn't make any sense at all. If the ROM is still stock then as far as the update is concerned, nothing is different.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
give it ago and see what happens? :D
[Desire General] eBookworm42:
Few people did give it a go last time when update was pushed (also just root on stock rom) and noone was successful so I wouldn't recommend that.
[Desire General] deksudi:
Is it possible to check and download update from rooted stock rom, but you cannot apply the update. All you can do is boot up your Desire into recovery mode, disable signature check and install update from /sdcard/download/

Once completed then your Desire back to original. I did it many times if I want to unroot.

Please note that you need nandroid backup your rooted stock rom.

sorry for my horrible English :D
[Desire General] ssonik:
+1

You will *not* brick your device unless the OTA has an hboot or radio update with it. Even then, only a failed flash of either radio or hboot part will brick your phone, not /system updates.

Note: Boot loop or stuck at splash1 is not equal to brick.
[Desire General] andQlimax:
The problem is also the custom recovery, DO NOT apply the ota if u have a custom recovery (different from the stock one)

Many users in the previous ota tried that, with no succes, so why u wanna try again?

Just wait 1 day more for the rooted GB stock rom from xda

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] ssonik:
If your custom recovery has signature verification off by default (that's pretty much all of them), and your CID matches the CID that the OTA checks for (or you have a gold card inserted) then it will work.

You're right that everyone should wait until the devs get a hold of it before flashing, I'm just saying that it will not brick your phone if you do decide to give it a shot - just nandroid first.

Edit: I should reiterate that I mean the update will flash properly. This doesn't mean that the rom will boot up properly after the update - however, your phone will not be bricked.

Sorry but I can't bother to make a screenshot right now. Look for yourself if you really don't trust me. So it hasn't begun rolling out yet.

Guess it will roll out on sunday tbh
[Desire General] samhiggs1988:
I heard the update was to be hand-delivered by a woodland sprite riding a unicorn...
[Desire General] owziee:
Why do some of you want the update so badly? It's not gonna turn your Desire into a Galaxy S2 or anything like that. The only thing that's gonna happen is that you'll probably loose some previously pre-installed apps and probably get even smaller amount of free internal storage aswell.

Gingerbread is a tiny update from 2.2, it's almost all about UI improvements. And since HTC hides most of androids original UI... well you get the point.

[Desire General] beidl:
Ohhh, you baaaad.
[Desire General] pablo_max:
I know that everyone wants to see the update come soon, but there are other things to consider.

Did you know that HTC cannot just release it when they are done? Well, at least in the US they cannot. The need to make an ECO with the PTCRB organization. Depending on what is different, it can be only paper work, or it can be delta testing. If it was more than 6 months since their last ECO, it is even more tricky since that means they are responsible to test to the latest version of the test requirements, rather than the version which they started with.

So, once they finish the OS, they need to make the official work.
[Desire General] Jasand:
Yes but they have said it will be released at the end of the month, not going for testing, having to pass this and pass that then be sent to here and pushed to there then if everything is ok we will be able to download it in November....

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] gamerprithvi:
Hey guys, i've been having some problems with the stock music player that came with Kyrillo's v6.0 ROM. It crashes at random times when playing music or surfing through it's interface without any "Force Close" prompts of any kind. Just crashes.

(This problem is only with the stock player, rest of the apps work perfectly)

Tried all possible kernels with different clock speeds and still no result. The problem seems to be with the stock music player that came with Kyrillo's ROM.:confused:

So is there another music player app that has the similar UI in terms of how the songs and artists are displayed? I've tried a bunch of music player's but all of them have the same folder structure UI. I want a player that displays all the songs by the particular artist and not like this:

artist\(each individual album)\(songs of that album).:mad:
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Shree_Jamdar:
try this

Did you try wipe cache from recovery, Im sure thers a fix for this. its not a big issue. you dont have to look for other music players.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] gamerprithvi:
Yeah well after trying "everything in the book" and also doing a factory reset and cache wipe, i encounter the same problem! please has no one else experienced the issue?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Shree_Jamdar:
try this too

Im surprised no one gave any suggetions.. Look, Iam not a dev or expert , but i can tell you its not a big problem. which ROM are you using? Did u try everything in the book including:

1. Formatting your sd card

2. Re-flashing ROM

3. Try different Kernel

4. Change the allocation size of your fat32 partition to a smaller value like 128. sometimes high values cause problems.

Look, if it were a hardware issue then any kind of 3rd party app should not work.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] gamerprithvi:
1. Yes

2. Lol this was done a thousand times for obvious reasons so yes. Tried every possible ROM (stock and modded).

3. Same as no.2. Tried around 9 different kernels!

4. I'm not sure if that would help at all.

This is something to do with the hardware outputing the sound. The time i bought the mobile phone with the 2.1 eclair stock ROM, it was working perfectly with no sound abnormalities.

The first time i installed a custom ROM i noticed the problem and it was so annoying that i downgraded back to the stock 2.1 eclair. But unfortunately after that the problem still remained no matter what ROM i chose. It seems like there isn't enough power to drive the earphones at the instant when the screen is turned ON or OFF. It stabilizes after that.

It's like a few milliseconds of a cracking sound. The same sound you experience when putting your earphone plug into a speaker jack or sound jack. A static cracking sound.

Someone on the forum said it was a kernel issue and that it would be fixed. I thought most people were having the problem with the current kernel. But any later releases didn't fix the problem. SORRY FOR THE LONG POST, and if you or anybody could please help me out i would be grateful :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Shree_Jamdar:
well, i guess theres nothing much left to try then, If it's still under warranty, then i suggest flash a stock froyo or eclair firmware, go to nearest samsung service centre & hope they fix the issue. (fight for it if you have to). I fought for my battery replacement (last day of my six month waranty!!) :P & got it too!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] gamerprithvi:
k will have to do that i think cause this is very annoying. anyways thx for the replies.

Suddenly my desire started to be slow...

S-off, pvt 3, Amon ra 2.0.1...

I feel it especially on scrolling home pages, the clock folds very slow, and when I'm charging, everything is really really slow.

Changed 5 gb roms, and still problem remains.

[Desire General] shaked1:
Thanx, looks nice, but I don't think that this is my problem... Tried few roms, could it be something to do with setcpu ?

Usually I install it as soon as I flash a ROM... Installed it through all my tests in the last couple of days... Now uninstalled it, and things look snappier, faster and the charging issue also gone.

Still not fast like before, maybe its because no OC...

Could it be a cpu issue? I hope not....

Exactly when the 2.3 update coming... Damn..

Gonna try changing hboot and see if anything changes.

Did you used the script above for your desire?

I wanna be sure that i'm not mistaken - this script disappears after changing roms, right?

Because if it does disappear, so thats not my problem..., right?

It happened suddenly...

Thanx
[Desire General] reaper7881:
Are u underclocking the CPU to save battery
[Desire General] shaked1:
Yeah . Did I **** the CPU? That's what i thought.

The phone went back to normal in the morning after I wrote the first post... Suddenly everything is smooth again.

I wanted to run more tests before I write something, but I think you kinda right...

Also now I remember that the same day it started, I used a charger that I never used before... From someone at work ...

So like I said, it looks ok now, but I'm realy wondering what caused it.

BTW, I'm using now also a script for over & under clocking...

It's ok for 3 days now...

It was ok for almost a year.

Thanx and if you can tell me anything, I will be glad...
[Desire General] reaper7881:
Just put min clock at 998 and Max at 998 then see if the phone runs slow these are default clocks
[Desire General] shaked1:
Really, because I thought the values are min 250, Max 998, no ?
[Desire General] erklat:
Default settings with perflock enabled are 998 constant. Devs here remove perflock and lower idle frequency to save battery.
[Desire General] shaked1:
I understand.

but I didn't change nothing, it appeared without any notice, any changing or flashing a new ROM, not even after installing an application. Suddenly ...

BTW, so you using 998 min and max all the time ?
[Desire General] dexter93:
You should not clock the CPU under 500 mhz cause then its when it will lag bad. Also watch out the phones temperature. If its hot it will be slow. Just take the battery off and leave it to cool....

You should also check the CPU governor. Ex: when set to powersave it will be slower

Also... Use SD speed increase (free app in the market) to make things a bit better and try to use Roms that have the dalvik cache on internal memory

I don't. I'm not using any 3rd party software. Smartass governor with it's default 245-998 scaling range.

This part of the post is pure nonsense.
[Desire General] dexter93:
Why do you say that? Ever tried to set the max frequency of the CPU under 500Mhz? It lags... And I'm not the only one having that issue.

Also my experience has showed that if the phone gets too hot(from a 3d game for example), it becomes less speedy until it cools

[Desire General] erklat:
I am just pointing out that I don't get any lag waking the phone up, nor do I believe smartass with 245 min would be primary option of almost all developers here if it was as problematic as you say.

[HTC Sensation] insanechinaman:
I'm thinking of getting an HTC Sensation, but I also read about the issues with lag, touchscreen being unresponsive, and the Wifi death grip.

I know the death grip isn't too much of an issue since it only happens if you hold it in a way that no normal person would, but would ROMs fix the lag and touchscreen issues?

Also, since I'm coming from a G1, I'm wondering if it's possible to root this phone and then, in case something happens, unroot it so I can stay under warranty?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
Customs roms will help in all those categories. I have no touchscreen issues though, that might be hardware related but I'm not too sure. Maybe a AOSP Rom or custom Rom can fix it. Get a Sensation, it will get unlocked soon and I have a feeling it will be a busy place in this section soon, hopefully :)
[HTC Sensation] insanechinaman:
Awesome, how about unrooting? Is it possible with this phone? I usually am very careful with my phones but you never know...

Lol, even if you have a sensation with those issues, it's still an upgrade
[HTC Sensation] r0cky0790:
Being experienced in rooting and such, flashing custom roms usually knock out minor bugs that may dwell in stock software. If your dealing with a hardware issue you definitely won't have any luck flashing anything to address the issue, (Common sense right?). You always have the option to unroot your phone in case you have to shoot it back over to sprint. Granted I was able to take my OG Evo to a sprint kiosk fully rooted with CM7 and sell it for $150 to get the E3D. They might not give a ****.

You mean that one that you actually call to update your roaming? I used to know when I had my LG Versa and was having reception problems on its first firmware, but I haven't had any issues since, and I forgot it :p if you can find it, I'll add it!

I will update when i find out more
[Verizon Droid Charge] Yankees368:
The old system of *228 to update the PRL is no longer used on LTE phones. The roaming is controlled and updated automatically by the SIM card.

Would also love if someone can tell me which of these might bring up a field test screen, one that will tell you the signal values for CDMA and LTE. Already bricked a phone in the past trying to get to this.
