Where are these 2 different roms in a thread?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dms76:
I've noticed it in the development section or it appears that way. Someone will start a thread for Rom 1.0 then add 1.1 into the original post several days later and change the subject to updated on xx. When you look into the post your see several pages prior to the update date.

Sent from my thunderbolt using Forum Runner
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidTh3ory:
It HAS to be done that way... the DEV section would be so cluttered with multiples that nobody would be able to find anything. Some switches from 1.0 to 1.1 are as simple as a couple bug fixes. I posted a new thread for each update..... I would have the first 10 pages. Lol.

Its just not logical. That is why there are Change Logs. You know what Build number has what changes.

:)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolute_Zero:
As DroidTh3ory said...version increases from 1.0 to 1.1 != new rom release. It's a new version of the same rom with some improvements. So there is really no reason to have a separate thread for that. Not only would it make things messy but some problems and their associated fixes for version 1.0 will probably work on 1.1 which would lead to people asking the same questions in each thread (yes, I know...this already happens on xda as it is but why make it worse?).

The only justification for different threads of the same named ROM would be a 2.2 based rom and a 2.3 based rom (or any major change as such). But in general, devs come up with different names for major changes/releases which warrant new threads.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dms76:
DroidTh3ory,

I didn't mean to offend if I did I know all developers sometimes create new threads and sometimes they don't. As much time I spend reading the threads I never truly understood why. I've seen some threads go as high as 500 pages and I usually just skip to the posts with the same date as the listed update.

Thanks for the clarification both of you!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidTh3ory:
Not like that at all... No offense taken. It would be easier on people looking for answers for sure... when a thread gets that long, I think the term "skim" is even used very lighty.

When the bugs and fixes become long extinct ... I think a new thread is justified, at that point it just confuses people.

:)
[Wildfire General] rocky7x:
Hi guys,

I've got this weird problem with the standard camera app on CM7 Wildfire. I've been using the MIUI camera for some time and thus used Titanium backup to backup and remove the stock camera app. But now that a HVGA video option has been discovered I wanted to restore the camera back. However, after successful restore, the background image of the camera app (the blackish pattern) is missing and it is completely white. Apart from that the app works fine. It's not a big issue, but it's quite painful for the eyes watching into so much white color while recording video.

I've tried to completely remove what titanium backup restored and put the original Camera.apk from the CM7 zip file into /system/app using Root explorer, but it didn't help - the app still works, but has white background.

Any idea how to restore this without reflashing whole cm7?

Thanks very much for any advice.

Cheers....
[Wildfire General] wolfway:
do you by any chance use a theme from here? I use the iMatte (or something) theme for nexus posted here, which also themes my camera and the background is indeed pure white (the video/photo choose button is grey and blue in case we would we talking about the same thing, and the "take photo" button is round and red)

in case you are using such a theme, then the solution to get black back is to not use that theme :)
[Wildfire General] rocky7x:
Yep, I'm indeed using iNexus matte theme - it never dropped to my mind that it could cause this. Thanks a million for making it clear.

Cheers...

ETA = Estimating Time of Arrival

ECD = Estimating Completion Date

My question is: why everyone is using ETA abbreviation for a time schedule for a task to be published?

In the business world (and as an IT Business Analysis) I think that ECD is a better representation of a time line for an assignment to be completed.

Yours opinion...?
[Galaxy 3 General] kyrillos13:
I haven't heard ECD before :) I use ETA because it is more "known" (i think).
[Galaxy 3 General] itzik_man:
I got your point clarkkov > However, myself working in the North American market place and getting influenced by it, never heard ETA as a business context (as you mentioned), I would agree that using the dots in the abbreviation makes sense, but it kills it as an acronym.
[Galaxy 3 General] dhirend_6d:
Well, I don t know about most. But I actually was influenced by the word "E.T.A." by watching movies. WAR MOVIES. You know, when a few soilders are going in a heli the commander says "E.T.A. 2 minutes" etc etc. Well, the word E.T.A. is actually very well used in that context I think. :D :D
[Galaxy 3 General] RafayelG:
I loled at the discussions any way never heard of "ECD" or E.C.D (clarkov) what do the dots matter its THE internet. We can write it how we want :P ECD, e.C. And the D, it doesnt matter. Thank you for your attention :-P
[Galaxy 3 General] RafayelG:
dude calm down writing ECD without the dots doesn't make you an illiterate idiot.
[Galaxy 3 General] jinxskore:
LOLzzzzzzz.... nice discussion out there..

ok. coming back to the point. IMO, i think most people would know ETA/E.T.A.

ECD/E.C.D??? I only saw it here. no offense.

I came to know the meaning (or close to the meaning) even before knowing the abbreviation of ETA. :P

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yabadabadooo:
I'm considering to replace my HTC Desire against a SGS. Can someone who has the say whether it is worth comparing? How long does the battery last? And there are good AOSP roms?

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnumutz:
First i wanted to get a HTC Desire, but the price was pretty close to the SGS.

So, i chose the SGS for it's Super AMOLED screen, best gaming performance (for a single core smartphone) and it's capacitive menu and back buttons :D

I like HTC Sense, but it's not worth buying an HTC phone just for it.

I had the HTC HD2 with Android Sense ROM on it and didn't like it THAT much.

The SGS battery is pretty good, especially for playing games! The biggest battery drain is data... but that applies to all Android phones, if not all phones!

So, the choice is yours.
[General Questions and Answers] veratos:
hi guys (a Noob at rooting, flashing, etc but a quick learner

this is the issue but i will explain what i have done thus far

i have the south African MB525 and first could not receive a update to 2.2 and was stuck on 2.1...

then i started reading a few threads on xda (great site!!!) and thought i wont be better to install CM7

on the phone a could not go to the stock recovery it came up with a android and a yellow exclamation mark.... then first rooted the phone with superoneclick 2.1 then installed stock recovery and 2ndInit Recovery Installer 1.9 and first wiped the cache and data... then went to the bootloader and used RSD lite and flashed nordic and worked prefectly

then i had to root the phone again with superoneclick 2.1 and installed 2ndInit Recovery Installer 1.4_2 again to get into recovery and installed CyanogenMod 7.1 RC1v2 and Google Apps and rebooted and it loaded and started up perfectly again... i could not believe it that i got it right on the first try...

but... there is always a but...

then i saw that the market was not on the phone... and then i did something stupid which usually happens pass one in the morning

i saw that stock recovery and 2ndInit Recovery Installer 1.9 and installed it and rebooted the phone and then it never went pass the red m logo...

then went to the bootloader to reflash nordic with RSD lite since and could not go into recovery to wipe cache and date and flashed it anyway went password the red M logo but stopped on the word android and no make how many times a re-flash nordic it does not go pass that point

ANY IDEAS????

[Desire General] ljesh:
I don't mean to irritate the community, but if I asked this on any of the GB thread, my post would have been lost and I think a thread like this is needed for us that are like "meh" about this and we would only like to know the changes.

So, please list only the changes on the 2.3 version compared to the latest 2.2

Thanks.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
From what I read so far:

Gingerbread 2.3.3

Sense 1.9 (Few tweaks here and there but nothing special) (as Zane detailed, fastboot mode, reboot in power menu)

Facebook apk removed (can be downloaded from market)

teeter apk removed (can be reinstalled from provided APK)

flashlight apk removed (can be reinstalled from provided APK)

Most Wallpapers removed (can be saved on to sdcard)

HBoot upgraded

Runs on branded software (so will remove all the branded junk, effectively debranding your phone)

Slight partition size changes (around 19MB removed from /data)

Performance upgrade (as Zane mentioned below)

Newer Flash, gapps (gmail, maps etc.) - as mcgon1979 pointed out

Sorry if anything above is wrong.
[Desire General] Zane:
Fastboot mode

Reboot in power menu

Performance upgrade
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Saw this on the developer site:

*Will this release remove the ability to send SMS / MMS like in the disclaimer?*

Only certain regions, specifically the ones listed below, will have some functionality removed. For the majority of regions, there is no impact to your SMS / MMS functionality.

*Why is this only for developers?*

Due to the complicated nature of the update we suggest only expert users proceed. We have provided the update in as user friendly way as possible and also included the instructions in the download file but we were unable to provide the update by our usual over the air method.

*When can I download the upgrade for my phone?*

You can still access the download at http://developer.htc.com for the upgrade for your phone, unless you are in the regions listed below.

*Will HTC issue an over the air (FOTA) for HTC Desire update to Gingerbread?*

No, this downloadable RUU is the official update to your phone. The update required that we conserve space by removing customizations and wallpapers, we had to release the update as a downloadable update.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
I have to give my NOOB feedback on this upgrade. I just finished setting up my phone again after upgrade.

The upgrade is great, because I now have 90mb free with all the same applications installed, I had 18mb free before?!

First impressions...

123mb free internal after upgrade

The "move to SD card" funcitons ALOT better now.

Many of my applications take up even less internal memory than before. It seems they can move more of the app to the SD?

Latest Flash already installed

Latest google maps included

Latest youtube app included

Latest gmail app included

(all these installs I had installed separately before and they took up 30mb at least)

keyboard has nice zoom feature when editing text, but do install Stephen Lins gingerbread keyboard. You still keep the text selection and updated zoom feature.

without question its noticably faster scrolling around.

I cannot understand the complaints. I could not have asked for it to work any better IMHO.

:)
[Desire General] loedrus:
Are there also noticeable differences between the leaked gb rom and this final version?
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
Can someone who already upgraded his/her phone advise...

1-sense version (1.9 or 2.0 or 2.1)?

2-is there second tab for quick settings available in notification area.

3-is the new GB keyboard with trace function (or whatever it is called) available in this Desire specific fw?

4-slow scrolling issue in web browser solved, or improved for better performance?

5-the camera app renewed and still supporting 720p recording?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
from what everyone else has posted

1 - 1.9

2. no

3. no htc trace

4. unsure

5. 720p still supported but i think the old camera app
[Desire General] BeatB:
What about the radio? Is it the same as on froyo 2.2? Or a updated one?
[Desire General] theoverseer:
I'm sure I read somewhere that the flip clock now has the flip animation; can anyone confirm or deny?
[Desire General] davebugyi:
The radio is the same as on the leaked WWE "909"
[Desire General] spritable:
Confirmed. Very fluent animation.
[Desire General] cartus:
can someone post a youtube clip with the new updated desire so we can all view the sense interface and so on....?????????
[Desire General] kallaim:
Yes, it has.

Plus:

- smaller fonts;

- black notification area icons;
[Desire General] spritable:
Almost nothing change in the Sense interface. It's still the original Sense from the Desire with small tweaks, which are almost not noticeable.
[Desire General] mpokwsths:
Is it my imagination or the transition between home screens is less fluid than before? Less frames of animation. With static wallpapers, where it was flying before, now it doesn't feel so smooth.
[Desire General] aliensk:
I noticed also that transition of homescreens aint smooth
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
The transitions between screens and menus are super fast and fluid on my Desire. I have nt seen them this fast on 2.1 or 2.2 in the past.

Some small icon changes on sense. gmail notification icon. power settings icons. etc. other than that its the same sense. but some menus (such as the browser settings) are much smaller so you can view them on one screen which is much nicer.

I'm not sure what HTC did with the storage thing but its much much better. I cannot say that enough. I had 18mb free internal before, and now with all the same applications and contacts etc I have 85mb free now!

There is a nicer "storage use" option in the Manage applications settings section too.

The upgrade comes with latest flash, gmail, google maps, youtube etc. so I did not need to update or install any of those apps to internal which saved at least 30 or 40mb!!!

The update is actual aswesome. I never expected sense 2.3, but I just wanted some small improvements and faster UI. I got that. It's much faster, loads more internal space, few nicer UI touches and latest android version. I am very impressed and happy.

Any questions about the upgrade etc please ask and I'll check on my phone or tell you .

[Desire General] mcgon1979:
again, I have just checked this a few times now. I cannot get a single stutter or lack of smoothness. It's 100% fluid and perfect. And scrolling through applications page is smooth too. not a single stutter. In my opinion its definitely smoother than it ever was. ?

should I be doing something special to see this slow transition? cannot repro it here.
[Desire General] TVTV:
Can anybody confirm this? We need some good, pertinent reviews of this update. This thread seems perfectly suited for such a purpose.

@mcgon1979 - are you sure that the memory increase is not due to not having to install flash, the new market etc.?
[Desire General] 1nsecure:
I disabled the Auto Enhance in the camera setting and the restart problem was gone. You could give it a try:)
[Desire General] aindow:
I no longer have the option to reset my lock password via my Google account if I forget it.
[Desire General] mnaeh:
wifi definitely HAS issues

I tried a few custom ROMs (obviously frustrated with the not-so-happy ending of the "Update Saga") and each and every of them has a problem with weaker wifi signal. Now I see that the problem persists in the official update so we don't' need to guess more than once about its origin. Constant connects/disconnects are so f*** irritating I hope that guy who wrote the original problematic module will die of Lupus... OK I know, it's never Lupus :D :D

Jokes aside if anyone finds some workaround/patch/hack I would be greatful.

Best regards!
[Desire General] aindow:
My WiFi has been fine..
[Desire General] psycho693:
Yea when you do the upgrade you lose everything, it also says it right in the agreement but in my opinion they did a fabulous job with this version of Android, considering they had so many problems with memory they Made it work quite well. My only issue is the camera framerate it is very slow
[Desire General] Draqula:
Notification problem with official HTC 2.3

Anyone else having this problem?

No matter what profile I select "Silent" or "Vibrate" - mail, messages and gmail still make notification sound.
[Desire General] gerhard_wa:
Just tried it, the setting via widget from Widget > Settings > Profile setting to Vibrate or Silent works for all sounds, phone, e-mail, gmail and sms.
[Desire General] Draqula:
Thank you for testing.

After playing around with for a while "Mail" started respecting settings but sms still makes a sound no matter what profile I select.

EDIT:

I reflashed the ROM and now everything works.

I'm not sure what caused the problem, but I suspect it was changing profiles with a widget made by "Widgetsoid"
[Desire General] TVTV:
Quick question, fellas: how much space does the Yahoo! Voice and Video plugin take up after moving to SD on 2.3?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire General] spamlucal:
it's interesting that they took some stuff out because of available space, but df shows /system has about 15 MB free. That's more than there was with 2.29.405.5 (latest froyo)...

There's even room for future OTA updates
[Desire General] k_osi:
Hello Guys,

For those who have updated to 2.3, when you connect your phones to a computer via usb, do you get the option to share computer's internet with phone?

I ask because I am currently using a CDMA mobile broadband modem with my computer which is cheaper than what i used to do, buy data on my phone and share with my computer (tether). Cant do it the other was round on 2.2 since Android does not see adhoc networks and the usb option is not present.

I'm using Ubuntu.
[Desire General] Draqula:
I have a GSM Desire.

I didn't have "Share computer's internet connection with phone" when I was using 2.2 (official HTC ROM) and it wasn't added when I upgraded to 2.3 official HTC ROM.

I have seen this function on Wildfire S, that came with 2.3 ROM.

Maybe some custom ROM can add this option for Desire?
[Desire General] erklat:
I have this with SGBS. I'll check and see if that works.
[Desire General] k_osi:
Ahh.. i thought so. I think its probably a Sense 2+ feature. I thought it was a gingerbread feature. Didn't find any straight forward solutions on that. They call it internet pass through or reverse tethering.
[Desire General] fblasot:
Dark photos with flash

same problem for me, almost photos with flash are dark, just few are near to be acceptable...with froyo no problems !

May be we can install HTC camera extracted from froyo ?
[Desire General] k_osi:
Took the plunge. Results, meh. Not much to write home about. Personally, everything feels a touch slower.

App manager is much better and easier to use. Moved apps actually move. Very good addition.

Quick settings by pressing power button missing.

Browser feels a bit slow. (not sure anymore, scrolling now feels much smoother)

HTC Mail app got fatter, a lil over 1mb to a lil over 3mb

Cursor scrolling with trackpad has become very slow, used to move according to the speed of if finger movement. Now it moves one character at a time.

Phone was able to get internet settings automatically unlike before. Tried with different SIMs

Screen and new font is so much better. Looks very crisp.

Test info like CPU, network etc usage information is missing.

It could all just be my high expectations or lookout security. More updates as I discover them

Native support for .avi files. I tried to play one two days ago on froyo but it did not work, had to download mobo which had video n sound out of sync. 2.3 handles it great with ease.

Flip clock actually flips.

English UK locale missing.

Auto rotate works so well now when changing from landscape to portrait. Very smooth.
[Desire General] TVTV:
Yes, i too wonder if the camera app which came with FroYo works on the new official GB ROM. Has anybody tried it yet?
[Desire General] decmk:

[Desire General] cruxifi3d:
WiFi

my wifi can't connect to a network on which it had no problem connecting to when my phone was still in froyo... is this something to do with /n? thanks guys for any answers you can offer...
[Desire General] Terepin:
Desire was never able to connect to n.
[Desire General] erklat:
You sure?
[Desire General] Draqula:
Desire with official 2.2 ROM was never able to use N wifi. Custom ROM's I don't know.

With the official 2.3 update N support was added by HTC. On my device with HTC official 2.3 I see under Hardware information:

Wi-Fi: 802.11 b/g/n

N was not there on 2.2
[Desire General] Terepin:
Well, I tried to connect to WiFi n, but it failed.
[Desire General] jmitr:
Yes that is a sense function, specifically 2.1 and up.

Custom ROMS with SENSE 2.1 and up have it.

I just used this in Washington D.C. on a road trip. I am Canadian so I can't use data in the U.S. without getting a** raped by Telus for data roaming. Ditto with phone calls.

My hotel had pay wifi, but free internet via cable, set up the laptop, set up data sharing, then called my wife using groove ip. worked great.

once again, don't confuse sense 2.1 and up with Android 2.1 and up (not saying you did, but you'd be surprised how many people associate HTC features with basic Android.)
[Desire General] Draqula:
Hmm, can't test at the moment. Will report back if I stumble upon a wifi N network.
