Hello everyone, I had emailed HTC yesterday about downgrading my Desire back to 2.2. and this is what they said...

I understand you installed the Gingerbread build on our developer portal and would like to flash back to 2.2 Froyo. I understand how important it is for your phone to function properly and I will be happy to assist. The Gingerbread build that was posted was not intended for North American users unless they only needed the device to test applications they were writing. We do not have a method for an end user to flash back to 2.2 at home, however if you can reply with the device serial number located on the back of the phone after you remove the back cover and the battery and the name of your cellular provider I can find out if you are able to send the phone into HTC to be re-flashed.

So in other words unless we find a way to unlock the bootloader we have to send it in to HTC which kinda sucks.

Let me know what you think!
[Desire General] gerhard_wa:
There are people in other threads that have been given the answer fron htc support that the upcoming boot loader unlocker will unlock ALL htc phones.

Keep an eye at this page: http://htcdev.com/devcenter
[Desire General] Meaple:
If you use their online unlocking tool when it comes into use, then you fail.

Swyped...
[Desire General] psycho693:
Why do you say that?
[Desire General] psycho693:
Yeah I know that but thank you I just wanted to show what they told me lol
[Desire General] Tommyen:
ok, sure we agree that htc relesed gb as dev, and sure a lot of us thougt someone will crack the hboot soon. But crap this is a bad build...

The call function is often "hanging" a while after finising a call, after installing some of my regular apps, gb is terrible slow, the sence clock sometimes stops in time, and i could go on...

I have not read all of the posts here since the dev release of gb, but i for one is "not realy happy" with the dev gb, and would sure as hell give good money for going back to what i had before "upgrading" to gb.

Ok, I got that of my chest... someone says htc dealers can downgrade to froyo. Does anyone know of someone that can do that in Bergen, Norway?
[Desire General] tomoooo:
Well, luckily for me, I do not experience any of the issues described here. From my point of view the GB update was a success.
[Desire General] beyarfaj2004:
luckily for me too

GB works excellent for me and i have found no issues, i love it alot, only a root will be amazing to remove some main apps like gmail and maps

but i still don't know what is the Force to SD function and where to find it
[Desire General] psycho693:
Yes I agree I don't mind it but I hard the fact that I can't unlock the bootloader lol
[Desire General] Z3ra7uL:
Have you tried this: Move apps to SD - Unrooted Froyo Guide. Noobs Guide (from the Desire Q&A forum) ? :) It worked for me when I was on Stock 2.2, so it might help you too. I can't try it now, as I am already rooted and using a custom rom.
[LG Optimus 2x] ghadap:
To all experts out there.. is there any way to enable (by default) dual-core? Notice using Quadrant Standard, it reads only single core.. My settings :

1) OC/UV (NeoBlaze) - 1408Mhz / 1200mV

2) v10d (525) singtel

3) Chainfire3D with nVidia plugin
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Quadrant doesn't support dual-core devices yet, so that's why it says it's single core.

Also, You don't need that nVidia plugin for CF3D. It only emulates tegra, which you already got.
[LG Optimus 2x] ghadap:
Thanks kiljacken.. by the way, does it means that if i uninstall CF3D, the Quadrant score will be different? Or it depends on scheduler settings in PMC?
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
AFAIK CF3D doesn't affect performance, but I wouldn't be surprised if it got increased a tad

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] XperianPro:
We have mpu disabler tool and can change bootloader,still need to compile kernel.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Theshawty:
So the kernel compiling is everything that's left? I take it that's way harder than it sounds?

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theraptscallion:
It will depend on which kernel you're running. JTs newest can use the bln app from the market to control the settings. Not sure if Glitch kernel uses same bln code, since I no longer run it.

I was running a black themed market and no carrier btm, reverted to 2.3.6, which updated to the newest market and the option was there

flashed Pendos transmarket and its missing again....

hmmm... i flashed original market 3.0.27 and some apps dont give me the option.. could it be app specific??
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stargazer3777:
From my experience, any app that is in USD is able to be billed to your T-Mobile account, but any that are in a foreign currency and converted to USD by the market only allow credit card for purchase.

[HTC EVO 3D] wbchristmas:
I've done some researching through XDA and Google. And from what I can tell (unless I read wrong), that the EVO 3D's handset mic settings are built into the android kernel. With that said, is there a way to modify the stock kernel so that the mic settings can be adjusted to improve call quality? And if so, can one of the devs who specialize in kernels, take a look into it and create a fix?
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
the first step would be finding where in the kernel source the mic settings are "hard coded". finding the audio/sound drivers location and then the location for the mic would be a great starting point.

i don't have the source code in front of me, but grepping through it or looking thru the drivers directory would be where i'd start.

since you searched, which is very helpful, do you have any links to where in the kernel you read the handset mic settings are coded?

the more detailed information you can provide, the quicker a dev can pick it up and run!
[HTC EVO 3D] wbchristmas:
I apologize, as I was in a hurry at work when I posted the topic... I meant to say android mic settings... not EVO 3D settings.. my bad.

Here are the links that I've found that made me conclude this theory:

1. This link is Android related - not EVO 3D based, but can it be applied to the 3D? - http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-549837.html

2. This link is Nexus (which runs on Android) - not EVO 3D based, but are there any clues that can be applied to the 3D? The first paragraph does mention In-Call volume (and mic-sensitivity) and the author does mention that "(I now realise these 'stock' setting s are located within the Kernel)" http://androidaudiohacks.com/home/archives/121

3. This link mentions that Android communicates with the kernel, which then handles the hardware.. i.e. the kernel controlling the hardware - not EVO 3D, but is Android based - http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/android-tp2/141857-evil-mic-problems-devs-look-here-if-you-have-time.html#post2070440

4. This XDA thread - which appears to be an Android port running on a WinMo phone, LaTama mentions that the audio driver was in the kernel - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1162224

Another.. http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-805002.html

5. This post - an Acer Liquid (Android based) although the user's English isn't very well - mentions that the mic sensitivity is too low with the custom kernel he (or she) just flashed - http://android.modaco.com/topic/338884-microphone-sensibility-too-low-with-custom-kernel/

6. This post - Cyanogen mod on HTC Dream/Magic (Android based) mentions some system files somewhere that enhanced the mic gain adjustmen http://http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/7213-mic-gain-adjustment-60/

With these links that I've found so far, it makes me think that the kernel could be the solution to the call quality.

I did go to the dev section of HTC's site and download the kernel source for the EVO 3D, but I have no clue as to what I'm looking at, as I'm not a dev..
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
well, two basic approaches:

1)links 1, 2, and 6 all seem to point at the same set of files in /system/etc. might want to check if these are present on our evo 3d. if so, might want to look into editing/replacing them. they are xml so they should be readable thru a text editor and hopefully they use fairly english common sense related tags.

2)i decided to take the liberal of pointing around the online kernel source at the android git, since i cant access anything else at the moment-link below.

i grep'd the source for the word microphone and you can see some scattered references in the kernel files. this is the approach i would take to look for the microphone volume settings in the kernel drivers...

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/linux-2.6.git&a=search&h=HEAD&st=grep&s=microphone

figured the more information we can gather, the better off we should be!
[HTC EVO 3D] wbchristmas:
How would I go about to view these files?
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
the files mentioned in the above posts you linked are .xml files in /system/etc. easiest way for me is to adb pull them off the phone and then use a text editor ..

adb pull /system/etc/blahblah.xml c:\android\blahblah.xml

the kernel source files you downloaded, should all be text files and can be viewed in a text editor also...

good luck! keep us updated on what you find and i'll keep my eyes open as well!
[HTC EVO 3D] wbchristmas:
When you do the adb pull commands, what status does my phone have to be in.. fastboot, recovery, etc..

Also, when the adb pulls the files, will they still be intact on the phone or does it "cut" them out of the system?
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
adb is going to be a great tool to learn. i wrote a simple guide for the evo - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694250 . there are probably lots of other guides too.

google's info on adb - http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html

when you pull the file, they stay on the phone and adb duplicates it to your local computer. it is probably easiest if you're in the normal booted android mode and have usb debugging toggled on.

adb is going to be a primary way of communicating and modifying the phone. it'll become your best friend! :)

[General Questions and Answers] colonel:
I want a new Android phone with a single cpu and slightly smaller package:

1. Nexus S seems to pack a 4" screen into not such a big package

2. Desire S is the nicest construction and nice and compact but the screen is a bit dim

3. Motorola anyone ?

Anyone had the first two, or all three, (or any other recommendations) and can comment ?

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] iPwn_:
I would say get the Nexus S. I don't think the Desire S is worth it with the Desire HD and Z out (but the HD isn't exactly a "small package".)

Stay away from Motorola. Motoblur will make you want to pull your hair out and their designs and build quality are subpar (Aside from the OG Droid).
[General Questions and Answers] MartyLK:
I have a Nexus S and love it. It is a no-nonsense phone that is simple in operation and packs in the latest user tech...FFC, NFC, Gyroscope etc. The feel and build quality is very good. But I did have to exchange one out for a common fault in the display.

Think of the Nexus S as Google's version of an iPhone. I also have a few HTC products. And though they are fine and well made, the Nexus seems to excel on design and simplicity.

I don't like the Defy so I wouldn't consider it. A Droid, I would consider.

Of the 3 you list, the Nexus gets my vote. But that's because I already have plenty of HTC phones. It might be different if I didn't. Nevertheless, I love having the FFC, NFC and gyro, whether or not I use them.
[General Questions and Answers] Gusar321:
Nexus S. Definitely Nexus S. I have a Defy and am very happy with it (I immediately flashed it to remove Blur of course), but if you have the money for a Nexus, go for it. Played with it again today at a store. Man is that thing sleek.

Though if smallness is important to you... the Defy is the smallest. It really makes good use of the real estate, it's pretty much all display. Flash it with Cyanogen and you're golden.
[General Questions and Answers] sweetnsour:
if you are the type of person who wants official updates right away, nexus s is your type of phone

[General Questions and Answers] MartyLK:
One other thing to consider is the Nexus S is extremely easy to root. The only issue I had with mine was getting the drivers installed for it in Vista. After that the rooting process was simple.

Windows Phone doesn't support Flash. It supports H.264 like iOS (iPhone).

It doesn't have as many apps as the App Store, but the essentials are there.

The browser doesn't experience any lag at all. Scrolling and pinch-to-zoom is butter smooth.

I have to say I like my Windows Phone (Focus) more than any iOS (iPhone 3GS) and Android (Atrix 4G) devices I've ever used.

Yes, all current Windows Phone (including Omnia 7) will get Mango. Any yes, both phones are one and the same.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sterling787:
I don't have answers for all but I do for some.

#2 Yes, market place is preloaded. However unlocking the phone and sideloading is a nice feature to learn.

#3 Yes, explorer is fairly good. I have had some occasional lagg but on a scale of 1-10 I give a 8/10. I'm a firefox fan myself.

#4 I'm on the fence, granted I have had it only a week. I have the HTC-HD7, some things I don't like are that A. my carrier, Microsoft and HTC have worked very hard to keep me from tethering B. (and this is exclusively my fault) my phone is not 4G capable despite being "the lastest and greatest" C. WP7 is nothing like WM6.5, you can't natively browse your phone OS and system files. I don't like this because I frequently put valuable data on my previous phone (HTC Harold) for safe keeping.

Honestly? The OS is very nice, I am a windows phone fan. However because of the tethering issues I have (finally figured out how to do it just recently) I am considering invoking my buyers remorse and trading in for a HTC Sensation4G, because the phone is specifically designed for tethering. But like I said I have some specific issues and some of them are my fault for not doing my homework before buying.

not sure if there is backlit support on keys, dont think so
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] burhanistan:
That thing is kind of tiny. I think it's better as more of a replacement keyboard/mouse combo for a home theater PC than a keyboard for a tablet. After all, you want a larger "real" keyboard to type faster than the onscreen keyboard. With little keypads you really can't fire off long emails/documents any better than you could with the onscreen, especially one with predictive text.

Backlit is nice, though. The Logitech products don't seem to have that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] slack04:
I don't see much point. Won't be that much easier than the onscreen KB. I'd say full-size or just use the screen.

Suggestions?

I'm looking for a small BT keyboard about the size of the Apple BT or Xoom keyboard. I already have a MS Bluetooth Keyboard 6000 which works perfectly, except it's really too long to carry. I tried a Targus BT iPad keyboard, but the special function keys (back and so on) don't seem to work, plus it feels really cheap. FWIW, I only recently noticed that the Targus keyboard is the iPad specific model (AKB32US), and there's a generic model (AKB33US) that I should have tried out.

My criteria are that it's flat so it'll fit nicely in a bag, mapped as a normal PC keyboard so I don't have to create a keymap, full 6 rows with no weird function modes (~ and ` on the Logitech are fn+numkey?!), and preferrably a solid scissor switch design.

Anyone try the Iconia keyboard? It's more compact than the Xoom and Apple, but the layout looks sane. It's a little expensive though and I haven't seen many reviews.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] lev777:
I really want a BT & backlit keyboard. No numpad is fine. But I'd rather avoid the ones that fits in one hand - too small. It needs to be comfortable for hours of use. It seems like the best option is Microsoft Wireless Entertainment Desktop 8000 but that's too much.

You guys know of anything else that has both bluetooth & illumination?
