[HTC Sensation] v-b-n:
First off, are you using custom rom or stock ?

If stock, download "GPS Status & Toolbox" from market. Enable GPS. Enable data connection as it needs to download AGPS data. Stand in the open with clear visibility of the sky. Run it, and u should see around 10 satellites lock (depends on your location in the world) within 5 seconds...let it run for some seconds.

Now whenever u open Maps or location based apps, lock will be within few seconds.

If on custom rom, try the above. If doesnt work, post your problem in the rom dev thread.

Hello,

I used RCMix3d v2.5 (2.3.4 Gingerbread) rom. This rom it's very smooth fast and stable but the video codecs are not updated and several of my videos are misread.

I would like to know the location of the codec in a rom to update my rom RCMix3d ? ;)
[Desire HD General] misterblue31:
Nobody knows how?
[Desire HD General] Flussen:
the codecs should be stored in /system/lib/ .

but there are also some video players with integrated codecs like dice player (.mkv in hardware decoding for example).

Sent out of my Free Candy Van.
[Desire HD General] misterblue31:
thank you very much ;-)
[Desire HD General] misterblue31:
I have not tried to update the video codec of a rom, but right now I use the CoreDroid v8 also based on a version 1.45.401.2 and the same problem on RCMix3D 2.5/2.6 (2.7 not tested)

I wanna purchase new phone for my mom. She just wants it simple to use phone with low cost. She uses phone just for calling and little bit for msging.only thing is it should be rough and tough phone.

Which phone should I go for.suggest me some phones which are simple to use
[General Questions and Answers] jianC:
Mytouch 3g maybe? My father has one and it is reliable. However, it is on the slow side...
[General Questions and Answers] omnomnomkimiiee:
Rough and Tough, eh ? I'd say a Nokia, or a Motorola, and not a touchscreen phone.

My HTC Wildfire S runs MagicOS (Unicorn Hair, Rainbow Extract and Pixie Dust).
[General Questions and Answers] iLiberate:
What carrier? If you are with ATT I'd go with the Pantech Ease hands down. It has a large simple display and will read your texts to you and it has a full keyboard if she texts at all. The only problem being that it would need a case to be a "rough and tough" phone.

Samsung Rugby II is a really durable simple phone but I'd hate to text on it.

Both of them don't require data plans.

[HTC Sensation] gagias:
Hye everyone, I'm an italian owner of this fabulous HTC Sensation and from a few days I have updated its rom from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4.

Unfortunately I'm not totally satisfied of this update and so I would like to know how it's possible to downgrade to the 2.3.3.

Now I have downloaded the exe:

RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198179_signed

The situation on my PDA is:

Android version: 2.3.4

Software number: 1.45.401.2

My question is, can I downgrade to 2.3.3 simply launching the exe or I have to do something different like root the phone?

Thanks to everyone.

Bye.
[HTC Sensation] offenberg:
Why post this in development? And why do you want to downgrade? In my book 2.3.4 is much more smooth and stable.
[HTC Sensation] gagias:
I'm sorry, I believed It was the right section....!!!

However my HTC Sensation is stable and smooth too, but now with 2.3.4 I have more problems with radio and roaming between TIM and my operator H3G.

This create more battery drain.

Before, everything was OK and so I asked for downgrade to see the differences.

Thanks and sorry to have posted wrong.

Bye.
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
Ok this is the process. I believe your going to have to super soff your phone and then super cid your device then run the ruu similar to the android version your phone came with... Check the sticky thread for the noob guides

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkdghk0831:
This question might sound stupid, but I'm curious if I've set up the right way,

bc I get warning message every time I boot up.

I can't write out the exact words of the message but it goes something like:

"You are using two gps which might cause a problem"

I've checked on both Standalone gps and Google gps in Location settings.

I guess the message is saying that I need to choose only one of them,

but I'm confused which one is the best one that I can use without any problem.

Can you give me any suggestion?

Or am I supposed to ignore the warning and just stay on both gps?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movielover76:

[Dell Venue] dellxda:
Did anyone tried to upgrade to 2.3.3 using these instruction :confused: - w w w.venusvenera.com/2011/05/how-to-upgrade-update-dell-venue-to_1886.html

The Dell Venue owners may also want to keep their smartphones up-to-date. So we thought of giving you a tutorial of how to upgrade Dell Venue to Android 2.3.3.

But prior to telling you how to install Android 2.3.3 on Dell Venue, let’s see what do you want in order to be able to perform the installation. You will have to download 2.3.3 Dell Venue port. You will also have to root your Dell Venue to prepare it for Android 2.3.3 upgrade.

Here are the download links of the files you want to updatre Dell Venue to Android 2.3.3 - 4shared.com/file/-388kF2Q/hc_NS_test-81.html

Just before beginning to upgrade your Dell Venue to Android 2.3.3 don’t forget to backup your information, as contacts, text messages and the apps installed from Android Marketplace Location who may be lost when the installation finishes.

Now let’s see how to update Dell Venue to Android 2.3.3 :

1. Install the ROM Manager on your Dell Venue. Get it from Android Marketplace Location, then install the clockwork mod recovery.

2. Connect your Dell Venue to your PC employing the USB information cable. Copy the “hc_NS_test-8.1.zip” file you downloaded to the SD memory card

3. Restart your device in the recovery mode using ROM Manager. As soon as in Recovery Mode, go to ROM Manager and select backup / restore to back-up your information.

4. From the Recovery Menu do a total data erase (including Delvik Cache). When completed, go back to Recovery Principal Menu and choose Flash ROM from SD Card. Navigate the location you copied the ”hc_NS_test-8.1.zip” file and follow the directions for installing Android 2.3.3 on your Dell Venue. As soon as the installation is over, just reboot your Dell Venue device and here you go, you’ve just upgraded it to the new Android 2.3.3

4shared.com/file/-388kF2Q/hc_NS_test-81.html
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
There's a strong possibility it's a fake

the build.prop reports it's a it's either an emulator image or a nexus S image, it also says it's a HC 3.0 rom.

Definitely isnt based on any venue rom at all.

You can try it but as it's difficult to recover venues as there's little modding support you're basically on your own if something goes wrong.

I would recommend against it unless you're on 319 and dont care about losing all your data
[Dell Venue] j_mullet:
I wouldn't trust it. I have been hunting and looking everywhere for a possible update, with no luck. If there was one to show up, I am sure it would end up on xda somewhere.
[Dell Venue] Omnichron:
very excellemt article/ I am definitely tring this ")
[Dell Venue] Omnichron:
Thank Yuo!:)
[Dell Venue] j_mullet:
Was this successful?
[Dell Venue] Omnichron:
Yes! but before that I backed up the original rom in case it went iffy I could just do a restore.:)
[Dell Venue] jitin02:
How do you back the already installed ROM
[Dell Venue] Omnichron:
I rooted it with Gingerbreak apk then installed clockwork mod, then I made nand backup before the upgrade.
[Dell Venue] dellxda:
Omnichron, Is the upgraded version working good without any issues ?
[Dell Venue] MJW:
Search for "hc_NS_test-81" on Google, it seems this file upgrades:

Nexus S to Honeycomb 3.0

LG Alley to Gingerbread 2.3

Sony Ericsson W8 to Honeycomb 3.0

Samsung Captivate to Honeycomb 3.1

Xperia X10 to Gingerbread 2.3.3

Motorola Milestone to Gingerbread 2.3.3

Samsung Showcase i500 to Froyo 2.2

Samsung Moment to Gingerbread 2.3.4

and now

Dell Venue to Gingerbread 2.3.3, 2.3.4, or 3.1 (search "hc_NS_test-81 venue")

Looks like just wishful thinking to me.
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
As I previously mentioned it seems to be a fake, but noone's stopping you from trying it/bricking your phone.

I'm also confused on what the previous poster's phone is, as it's not a venue(?). Seeing as the venue hasnt ever had clockwork ported to it.

If it did then it's doing a great job hiding in plain sight as noone ever mentioned anywhere about having ported clockwork, much less setting it up to be served by rom manager (it takes a couple extra unrelated steps to set up)
[Dell Venue] MJW:
No Way

Without a verified version of Clockwork out for the Venue, no way I am touching this one with a 10 foot pole.
[Dell Venue] jitin02:
That's what I was wondering.

One suggestion , there's a app named root tool box pro , it needs root access, and can flash recovery . make back up of recovery, wipe caches , Battery stats, fix market link, tweak sdcard speed, md5 sum fix, remove system app, and many more , checkout on market , if someone needs this app pro version and don't want to spend money on it let me know I have it and will share.
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
You should remove what you said, xda does not tolerate warez
[Dell Venue] Omnichron:
I should mention I upgraded mine and it worked well for a bit then it would not start up beyond the Dell logo. I had to restore original Rom.
[Dell Venue] jitin02:
?

sorry but to whom u r talking. is it me?:D
[Dell Venue] j_mullet:
So this rom did work, but only temporary?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Has anybody written one? I've seen lots of apps that include this binary, but they all use provisioning for registry writes and a homebrew WinCE DLL for registry reads. That's great, except that in Mango you can't use the homebrew DLLs anymore.

I'd like to write an app that can read and write specific values (the signed DLL doesn't appear to support browsing). The catch is, of course, no dependency on unsigned native code.

If somebody has already written an app or library that does this, and doesn't mind sharing the code (I'll open anything I write with it, of course) that would be awesome.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rudelm:
hm you don't need provisioning for registry editing with this HTC DLL, I think. The DLL provides functions that enable you to edit/read registry entries. The provision part is used for this provider specific configurations.

And there should be a way to use these homebrewn registry editors to use in Mango. People around here report that they installed the apps while running NoDo and then using Ansars method to upgrade to Mango. But unfortunately it didn't worked for me so far :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Marvin_S:
If somebody is intrested we can make a port of our app (which generates on device provxml files) available for htc devices. Ill need somebody to help me out with some testing. It works already on samsung devices on mango, file operations and stuff.

i just need to know where the provxml needs to be installed to and i think we can find a way to make it work.

Pm me if you are intrested.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
Let us talk about that when the Samsung version is finished. I also have a HD7.

The problem is that the HTC Connection Setup deletes the custclear.provxml file after executing...

Have a nice day.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Marvin_S:
yes i have heard. I think we can solve this by adding a copy command to replace itself again? If we are lucky this might work. Otherwise we have to look for file transfer tools. Thank you haha i will, talk to you tomorrow.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] anttaz:
In theory will work but once ran connection setup in mango file transfer is available via touch explorer.

Sent from Ant's HTC Mozart using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rudelm:
yes, file transfer should work, if you installed the tools before the mango update. However for newer phones that do not have NoDo firmware this won't be possible anymore :/
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@rudelm: That's the point of my question. I know that the HTC DLLs supposedly allow registry access, the problem is I've never seen a working example, and my skill with COM is crap.

@Marvin_S: That's a cool idea, and I can show you how to make it work even easier on HTC (I've written apps in the past that used XML provisioning on HTC; you don't even need to use Connection Setup since we have a Mango-compatible DLL to do it). The catch is that you can't use them to *read* values.

Also, I've already tried chaining the CustClear.provxml file using Connection Setup. It doesn't work - I think the file gets deleted at the end, not the start. However, HTC has a working filesystem DLL that allows moving files anyhow, so not that important. It's the registry I'm concerned about right now.

Again, if anybody has an example of working code using a ComRegRW DLL from an HTC app, please let me know!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rudelm:
It's actually simple, if you use another library here from XDA. Its called NativeLibrary and was made bei (nico)

With his code I was able to access the registry to change an entry. Basically it looked like this:

// check for HTC Device
bool isHTC = false;
isHTC = Device.IsHTC();
if (isHTC)
{
Device.Registry.SetStringValue("HKLM", "Software\\HTC\\HTC_Weather", "AppVersion", "1337");
contentTextBlock.Text = Device.Registry.GetStringValue("HKLM", "Software\\HTC\\HTC_Weather", "AppVersion");
//NativeHTCFileSystem.Init();
//NativeHTCFileSystem.GetFileSize("/My Documents/Explore Excel.xlsx", out fileSize);
}
else
{
contentTextBlock.Text = "Found no HTC Device :D";
}

He wrote a wrapper for different devices and included most of their dll files, so you don't have to handle the COM part. This is what I'm trying to understand next... But I bet its really ugly :( I never got the COM part running just by looking at reversed HTC or Samsung XAPs and I am still wondering how (nico) did it, but anyways: he helped me a lot with his source :)

If you put this code into a button listener, you need to push the button two times to display the new registry value as my textbox did not get refreshed. But thats the smallest problem here :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] (nico):
It's not that difficult actually if you know C++, COM, and .Net COM Bridge.

There is nothing here specific to Windows Phone, it's all pretty standard stuff.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] (nico):
BTW, this is not how you should use my lib, as it is supposed to handle the device check for you.

I've not updated this for a long time, so I don't think it work on LG nor Mango.

Here is an example:

var registry = NativeLibrary.Device.Registry;
var currenttheme = registry.GetStringValue("HKLM", @"ControlPanel\Themes", "CurrentTheme");
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Marvin_S:
This would be nice. Do you know if there is a similar .dll for samsung? So we will not have to go into the diagnosis menu everytime?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@Marvin_S: Yes, there's a similar app for Samsung - there's already a Samsung registry editor that works with Mango. It's nto a registry *browser* of course, but it can do read and write. I used it (at least, the writing portion) in my IE Search Switcher app too.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rudelm:
Ah ok, that looks better :)

I'm currently setting up my VM to look into this c++ and com things, but I guess its more complicated than I thought. You've got some links to help me here getting started for WP7?

@Marvin_s: there are the XAP packages of Samsungs apps here on XDA. You can just rename the files to zip and unpack. Then you will have the Samsung specific DLLs
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bennz:
Hello all ,

Recently I purchased an unbranded Chinese Tablet with Tegra2 chip which is running Android 2.2 At the moment.

I have found out there is no Software lock nor restrictions on changing the ROM on this tablet. So I would like to put a custom ROM on it if possible.

I have two questions :

1- Is there any system requirements I should be aware before putting any custom ROM on my device? for example any specific PBC board/chipset or other component?

2- What is the best custom Adnroid 3 series ROM ( with the most stability and functionality ) which is designed for Tegra2 chipset?

Please go easy on me as I am new and would like to expand my knowledge with productive help of people here :)

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mDroidd:
If you run an Android 2.2- 2.3 then there's certainly no. At least none with more then a tegra2. I think you could simply run like all ROMs.

Because I am looking for ROMs also, I think I saw something interesting.

But is your tablet copied? Just, tge chinese made it cheaper?

Then you should search on that tablet on XDA

Regards
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bennz:
Yea the tablet is copied from other ones , obviously does not have the same specification hence the cheap price. And it has only 512MB RAM which is not a problem for me as I am not a gamer.

But I am sure some ROMs work with certain hardware and setup better than others.

I have to get more hardware detail when I have the tablet in hand.

However I prefer to have more information first. So any help and suggestion is appreciated.

I'm specifically looking for android 3.0 and newer version which is compatible with the device
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bennz:
** Any assistance? ***
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mDroidd:
Sorry for late reply...

I am really sorry, but I have no experience with tablets and Chinese tablets. I am sorry.

But if you flash recovery with ROM manager nothing can go wrong because you can always go back!
