nice one,worked a treat
[Android Apps and Games] WcHorse:
I'm considering dropping my unlimited texting plan and using an app in its place to save some money. I know I can use google voice for sms but is there an app that will allow sms and mms without requiring the other person to have the same app too? You can't send mms with google voice can you? I like the google voice idea because I can just use one number and not require anyone to use a special number just to text me. I think this could be a great discussion on how we can help each other find ways to save on our bills!

Edit: If this has already been discussed please direct me to that thread. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ironlood:
I looked at the apps I used for sms and issue is that all of the one's I used were app to app. Best bet is google voice, maybe try some of the mass instant massaging apps, like ebuddy or palringo.

Use text plus, its in the market. You can create a profile and include a signature that will appear in text... You can also send and recieve mms texts. Works over wifi and 3g , 4g. Its a free app
[HTC Sensation] mceq9771:
I was installing the new update for my Sensation this morning and when i came back it would not power on. I plugged it in to charge and got a solid yellow light but when i cam to power it up all i get is the white HTC screen and then nothing.

I will admit i am a bit of a newbie at this.

Can anyone offer any suggestion as to what i might need to do to revive this Phone???

Many thanks
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
I'm still new to this, but I can tell that as long as your device is still responding and got the HTC logo, your device isn't bricked, I guess :D
[HTC Sensation] DJW6927:
If yours is a rooted phone:

If you can power on + vol down and get into recovery then no harm done?

Otherwise you tried just pulling the battery and rebooting? In the 5 minutes I wasn't rooted I had this with an OTA update.

Or if you were installing an official update to an unrooted phone then who cares anyway - its warranty anyway right?

So I guess a little more information about your phone would help.
[HTC Sensation] mceq9771:
I have only had the phone for a week or so so i havent rooted it as of yet.

I was doing a OTA update when this happened.

I am getting the Htc boot screen.

My PC is seeing the phone as a drive when it is plugged in, though i cant access it.

Is there anymore information you guys need

I would like to try and fix this myself if i can but if it has to go back so be it.
[HTC Sensation] hytl:
I think the phone was still updating and rebooting but you did something to it during that time. Did you press power button or anything?
[HTC Sensation] sammael1069:
Pull battey,hold vol down and power, in recovery reflash ota update, make sure your battery is charged at least 50%
[HTC Sensation] mceq9771:
the only thing that i did during the update process was plug the phone into my PC to make sure that it wouldnt lose power.

is there anyway i can download the update and then install it form the SD Card??

in the recovery mode i am getting errors

e: E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
[HTC Sensation] DJW6927:
It's not bricked and you can almost certainly fix it.

BUT...since you're quite clearly within the terms of your warranty why waste your own time and risk your warranty trying to be clever? Phone suport - its an SOC problem.

I remember thinking I'd bricked my rooted 24 hr old handset. Not funny - sweat pouring off my brow it was.
[HTC Sensation] sammael1069:
If your not gonna root I'd take it back sounds like the nand chip is corrupt
[HTC Sensation] brilldoctor:
My stock one comes up with the same error (and if i remember so did my wildfire)

I dont think its for the G2x its in the xperia x10 section
[T-Mobile LG G2x] adampdx:
I think the third post down is what you're looking for. You'll have to edit your build.prop file. It also says that you need xRecovery, which looks to be a custom CWM just for the Arc, so you should be ok there. Just flash it and then edit your build.prop and see what happens. Make sure to back up first!

Forgot to mention: Froyo only.

man i tried to flash xRecovery but i get a mismatch so i dont know what else to do..

but it sure be nice to have this app
[Desire HD General] rogermorse:
Hello. I.recently purchased Nova 2 from gameloft website for 4 euros. I honestly tried a cracked version before that. It didn't run well. I then purchased the game and it's exactly the same. The game often drops to what look to me 3 or 5 fps, very laggy in every situation. I tried with chainfire 3d but nothing changes. I am at the moment with latest cyanogen. I have read that people with desire HD run the game smooth so what problem do i have here?
[Desire HD General] koperniczx3:
you should try a complete wipe + reinstalling..

I was on Cyanogenmod when i bought the game and had no problem.. i'm on Virtuous right now and still plays smoothly
[Desire HD General] rogermorse:
Complete wipe of the Tom or the app? Before installing cyanogen i did the complete clean uninstall. After the cracked version i also disinstalled the app from the manage apps, and then deleted the directory of gameloft from SD card. Then i purchased the game, installed apk and downloaded all the new game data. Can you give more info?
[Desire HD General] rogermorse:
And did you buy it from gameloft wap website, gameloft full website or android market? Maybe it makes a difference.
[Desire HD General] koperniczx3:
A compete wipe of the device and reinstall cyanogen. However you did it the first time so im clueless.

As for the .apk, i got it from the market but i dont think i really mather because all the cache files are downloaded from gameloft servers anyway
[Desire HD General] clouds5:
I had the same issues when i first played the game with the normal version you get when you buy it for the DHD. This version is somehow buggy i think. For me the lags where most noticeable while there where enemies on the screen. Seemed to me like there is some texture or effects on the guys that causes the lags.

I then tried about every version out there and to my surprise the Xperia Play version worked best. You might wanna give that a try :) Its the oldest Android Nova 2 version, 1.0.0. But it runs super smooth on my device! Note: The resolution is slightly off in the menus but the gameplay is perfectly fine.
[Desire HD General] rogermorse:
I am gonna try the experia play version. Any hints on how I can find it?

And also i made someone download the game from the market on an Acer iconia with Tegra. It runs not smoother than my phone and it's weird i think. I don't expect 60 fps but on my phone it's just impossible even to just look around.

So i am waiting on advice on how to run the xperia version! By the way i get 2200 points on quadrant benchmark so i guess CPU and video are ok.
[Desire HD General] rogermorse:
Found it even before your post! I was sure that was the version i tried before buying but maybe it isn't....this one works flawless, only weird things are the menu which is cropped and the initial intro video which is smaller than the screen. In game graphics are the same, but it runs very very well. Nothing like the other one! Thanks!
[Desire HD General] rogermorse:
I noticed that the picture becomes blurry and the framerate drops down. It is like the game uses some sort of dynamic resolution. The weird thing is that when the picture is sharp, the game is very smooth. As soon as the picture pixelates and blurs the frames go very very low, unplayable. I wonder what causes that. Gameloft said that no one reported problems on the desire HD so i have no idea.
[Desire HD General] thedeamon:
Gameloft released NOVA2 v 1.0.3 for some HTC models ... the link is available from support...just email them.

or Google search for this version this even works in SGTAB2 7.0 ( unrooted ) ...however the movement control gets stuck at times, you may have to pause the game & resume to play.

On Android phones ( not Tablets ) with smaller screen size , I think this version will play much better.

I tried ChainFire3D on it, but it fails to load.

Happy Gaming!

I just rooted my tmobile vibrant..and now i want to know as of now is

cm7 a reliable rom to use?

which roms right now are the best or are working the best.

looking for a rom where basically everything works where i wont get missed calls or txt messages
[Vibrant General] gamikzone:
Tard Rom or bionix nextgen they are both on the teamwhiskey site, or you can use one of the many jvq/jvr roms on the development thread
[Vibrant General] androidlove91:
Tard Rom and bionix nextgen are the name of the roms im guessing

do you mind posting link with the most current version
[Vibrant General] herebox:
From what I can tell the most reliable and established ROMs are all based on 2.2 / FROYO as 2.3 / Gingerbread ROMs including CM7 all still have issues with Battery Power and GPS. These are the two most heavily viewed / used as far as I can tell:

Project V 6/11/11

Bionix-v 1.3.1 from Team Whiskey

Bionix nextgen and Tard ROMs are available in the forums on the team whiskey site (registration required).

Again, it would be great to include a very limited selection of very stable ROMs in a FAQ. The current long list of all ROMs is fairly useless for the majority of us seeking a long-term stable solution.

Good luck!
[Vibrant General] Dattack:
I always come back to biwinning 2.2.1

It has everything I need which is good GPS and wificalling.,
[Vibrant General] lifehijack:
I use Cyanogenmod 7, all the latest builds are fully reliable and stable.

I also use

Hybrid SGS II JVP v. IV XXJVP 06.29.11 ROM

and this is the best 2.3.4 ROM with TouchWiz 4.5 launcher. Its also the most stable ROM i have ever had.
[Vibrant General] androidlove91:
Are you using cm7 right now?

What abouy cm6(froyo) where can I find that
[Vibrant General] kboater:
i dont think we have a working cm6.

if you want stable, just flash most any 2.2 froyo rom like trigger 3.2, bionix, toxic crazy 8, ....

most of the 2.2 roms are about as stable as you are going to get.
[Vibrant General] androidlove91:
Ok ill try out cm7 then im guessing bio.since it seems to be mentioned the most
[Vibrant General] iwillkillyou:
Don't flash cm7. You're not ready for that. Install a froyo rom instead. You get everything you need from them. Good battery life and stable. That's what matters the most.
[Vibrant General] ChoctawT:
Phiremod 2.2.1 rom is pretty smooth
[Vibrant General] Jasonhunterx:
Project V no question about Bi winning is great to
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
I'm using trigger 3.2 right now. Even though I really love CM7's features the versions atm are a little buggy and battery sucks.

I missed these stable 2.2 roms.
[Vibrant General] nekobus:
I use trigger for 2.3.5 and bali kernel! This combo is really battery saver!! And also OC thanks to bali ! ;)
[Vibrant General] androidlove91:
So I'm guessing for all these roms its as easy as cm7 to install from SD...coming from stock froyo
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
I'm also trying out some of these for some-what the same reason...

School starts tomorrow for me.

I'm a LIGHT user, so when my phone is on standyby i dont want it losing 20% of my battery.

When i use it, I just text, phone calls, a LITTLE music, and maybe play games, but i know i can lose battery while doing those, i just want to save maximum battery while on standby.

Any suggestions?
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
?

Froyo. I don't know what the hell happened to CM7. The battery life is just awful.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Yes, I know ATLEAST that much haha

I'm on... BiWinning V3 with the stock kernel, it had amazing battery at beginning, and then now its been sucky.
[Vibrant General] gamikzone:
no its not that bad yesterday i just had light use and it was on running for 16 hours and i had 55% left at the end of the day
[Vibrant General] mik0bil0g:
flash Bali UV kernel with Bi-Winning then you're good to go
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Thanks for the suggestion!

So i'd go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1043947

and just download the Bali v1.8.8UV

and flash right? Also can you tell me what I'm supposed to wipe on the recovery? I haven't been on Froyo in a few months so I honestly don't know.

Thanks for your help :)
[Vibrant General] Jasonhunterx:
I just wipe davlik cache when I flash new kernel
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
DONE! Just flashed Bali UV

ONE more question: Do i need to do something to enable the UV?
[Vibrant General] Jasonhunterx:
I think kernel is pre UV but check out voltage control in market to UV
[Vibrant General] KnowledgeBroker:
+1 in every way. Especially the Bible being organized by stability.

To the OP, do NOT try flashing ay 2.3+ rom until you have a good amount of experience flashing. You need to be comfortable using Odin if anything goes wrong, and you MUST be good at following directions and troubleshooting, people don't have the patience to deal with someone who doesn't have a good ejough understanding of the basics, nor should they.

Almost all the 2.2+ roms are very stable except some put out by newer devs or people who are porting from other phones os. Read feedback.. read read read to avoid wasting time and making the same mistakes others have made. Don't skip steps as you will likely waste more time trying and have to follow the directions fully anyways, or you could end up with an unstable install. Typically always do a full wipe and wipe of dalvic, etc. Even when installing over older version of same rom

Invest in titanium backup pro, rom manager pro, root explorer, do backups of your SMS and apps constantly, at least until you find the rright rom for you. If you don't know what the above apps are for, you aren't ready to move on(including Odin). It you lack patience don't move forward.

i have compiled this from the cyanmorph made by Dont Panic and from UOT Kitchen,made some resizing,zipping and here it is, hope you like it.

Cyan

v3.0: ring style

v2.0: added lock pattern, lense, music player controls and made the sliders arrow color same as icons

Honey

v2.0: ring style

Make a Nandroid Backup

USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK

How to apply the morph`s:Here

CWM: flash in recovery

The CWM version is using a theme patch script so there shouldn't be any bootloop problem.

BigHoney has bigger icons and fully transparent ring.

Credits to:

Dont Panic for the cyan icons and instructions.

And to the guy who created the theme patch script, and the ones that have modified it.

i will test it later again whit 177, but yea its always a good idea to backup try the morph

ok, so I connect the cable/adaptor to my tv/evo3d and get nothing. I tried the mirror app I had on my og evo and it doesnt work. All i wanna do is watch netflix and youtube on my tv from my phone. Its a factory htc mhl adaptor and I know the hdmi cables are good and the tv works with my ps3 on the same hdmi port it just wont display from the phone. Im rooted and running the gbsense-e3d-deck-0.2 rom. Im thinking im just a noob and cant figure out a setting somewhere? :mad: so I come here and ask the almighty gurus for some type of direction, because my head is spinning and I havent found much info on the mhl/evo3d mirroring when searching google, any help is appreciated.

Do you have it plug into an electrical outlet as well? Its has to be plugged to the phone,tv and electricity to work

Along with having power plugged in, I also had to reset the phone for it to connect. Took a while for me to figure that out. Maybe didn't have enough memory available.

Only the stock charger will work. No USB, no 3rd party charger. Remember, stock charger.

Yeah found that out earlier. I use the usb on my xbox to charge the phone and had to plug in mhl to get it going. Love playing games on big screen.

Yeah. The quality on video is kinda grainy sometimes, but games are solid

Not true. I can run it from the USB on my desktop media center PC next to my 37" LCD.
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
I want to add, for anyone else having problems or will later. I had a problem with this too once and once I reinstalled the stock transfer app for data transfer it worked again too - if you have the bloat removed. Not exactly sure why but what worked for me.

But I tried USB, twin USB, A/C charger and no good. Only stock charger works for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] totzkotz:
I have an EVO 3D GSM, a Micro USB TO HDMI MHL ADAPTER and a Samsung LE40C750 3DTV LCD but i can not get it working...

i tried the stock wall charger and the one comes with the mhl adapter (both have 1 Amp output)...

The TV recognizes that there is something plugged in but i get no video and no sound... i allways get "No Signal, Please Check the Power and Datacables correctly plugged in..."

Do i have to enable the hdmi output on the evo 3d? is there a special app needed? hmm

EDIT: i also tried it on my hdmi capable LCD Monitor... also "no signal"...

as i read the phone should notify me with: "HDMI video out connected" but i never does

i am using Villian ROM

EDIT2: ok i have tried to install a stockrom: 1. i've made a nandroidbackup before that 2. tried to install a stock rom (but failed) 3. did factory reset in bootloader and restored nandroid backup

4. rebooted the phone and i dont know why... now i can use the MHL adapter and see the EVO screen on my TV !?!?!? but why?
[HTC EVO 3D] derb2007:
I had the same problem: TV recognized the connection but said check cable.

For me it worked just to restart the phone (stock rom) while connected to the mhl-adapter (not turn off and on, there seems to be a little difference).

Maybe this helps others to save a lot of time for not having to backup the whole configuration.
