[HTC Sensation] Tester30:
Hi, all.

Here is the situation....

In the past week or so I been getting update notices for .....45.....

Message was so brief that I haven't had a chance to get all numbers..

After accepting an update phone was hanging on the exclamation mark doing absolutely nothing over night...

Of course, I have my phone S-off and rooted. Nothing else was done yet, same stock ROM with no alterations. Now the tough part. Since that attempted update battery life was awful... Needed to charge almost twice a day...

NOW!!!! Does not take the charge at all... Charger works, charging my HD2 + USB computer charger nothing works. When plugged in and I remove the battery, insert it back it gives me an amber light for 5 seconds, then goes dark. Cannot boot with power cable plugged in..... Bunch of crap...

Did anybody else ran in to the same problem? Was that update meant to kill the phones with S-OFF? Or it's just my phone crapped up or battery?

Please give me some guide... 3 week old phone and so many problems.

Thanks all!!
[HTC Sensation] Tester30:
No problem to bump my post.

Phone doesn't charge at all
[HTC Sensation] Glotzeulor:
Never, really never install an ota on a rooted ROM, even if its stock. I guess you should start by reinstalling stock ROM and wipe before. The charging thing is a known bug due to recovery. An update is available which you should install. You will have to manually charge the battery with a cut charging cable. Instructions can be found in this forum.

You don't have a Sensation yet and you are educating yourself in a proper way? I wish more people would be like you. Now, if only natural selection would work on online forums as well.
[HTC Sensation] thanet:
I have the same as youuuu one week ago.

first I try S-off, root, and install new rom In XDA rom.

Every thing work fine, until the night my phone go to sleep, then It never weak up anymore.

And my phone have the same acting as you.

I call my local HTC service. he say he will take my phone to check.

After one day HTC told me the problem is the mainboard. He have to change for me, but do not have the spare prats now, so I have to wait.

But today HTC call me he will change the new phone!!!!!.

I am waiting to confirm for the date.
[HTC Sensation] xtcislove:
They told you its the Mainboard without looking at it?

This is stupid!

Search for the solutions in this forum its a well known and discussed bug!
[HTC Sensation] Tester30:
Thanks all for educating links and replies!

Got the phone exchanged today. Not gonna do anything yet, until all dust settles and all updates will be in place.

THANK YOU!!!

So I just picked up this D2G from eBay. The guy said it was stuck on Bootloader and he couldn't get an SBF to stick so I thought I'd give it a try. Sure enough it is stuck on D0.11, battery OK, usb, connect to program, etc Bootloader on boot. I've tried to SBF .330 twice via Linux (I know how to do this, I've SBF'd a DX dozens of times) and done wipe data/cache and cache solo. I've gone into bootloader via the up button + power method, and recovery works via x + power too. It still boots straight into bootloader. Ideas?

Compared to the HTC desire there is a few things I'm not to keen on such as the homescreens on the Xperia Ray.

thats soo cool that special menu :) it tells you lots about the device, I got it in white :) great phone. Any links to getting good themes? and widgets? I've got the htc sense widget running, I'm after a good calendar widget for the homescreen. I want it show the full month.
[About XDA developers] kms108:
I didn't like the silver sides, i'd preferred it to have white, otherwise i would of got it as well.
[About XDA developers] kms108:
now that some ppl got the ray, have you considered any case or screen protector.

i have just got this hard case, excellent quality, 100% fit and comes with a screen protector, the screen protector is 100% fit, with cut out for the camera and censors, but the cutting is not excellent, some parts of the edges do raise up a little, instead i used a brand called ARM, 99% fit but have excellent cut out.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hard-Case-S...976437?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e66b23ef5

the price in USA is USD 20, in hong kong, its USD 11, but if you live in china, it should cost about USD 5-11.
[About XDA developers] guv112:
THAT IS THE EXACT CASE I ordered!! 2 days ago!, waiting for it come, i'm based in the UK, Glad to know its a great case :)
[About XDA developers] kms108:
did you buy the black or white, for your white ray, both will look good, i have the gold ray, and the black is my only choice, as white doesn't look good.

forgot to mention, both case has a matt finish, but the black one also feels like rubber.
[About XDA developers] guv112:
I bought a white case wish I bought black now but oh well wishing it would hurry up and come from HK, at the min i'm walking around with the phone in the plastic case it came with....dont want to scratch it !

Found any other cool features on this phone?

I'm still looking for a calendar widget for the home screen.

I want to scroll to the right and see the current month, still cant find anything like this...
[About XDA developers] kms108:
you shouldn't regret getting the white, i think it looks better, but it doesn't match with my gold, and i put it in a phone sock before i had the case, and i still use the phone sock even with the case on.

the only thing i have notice with my unit is, after a while, the android market should automatic update to a newer version, it looks better, but the apps icon do load up slower than the old version apps store.

i also have a third party battery and a battery charging base which i dont use, if you want it, i'll can send it to you, just PM me your full address including your post code, and i'll post it to you ASAP, but do give me time, rather busy lately.

BTW my home town is in manchester.

the same case sold in china for half the price

Anyone know of an app or hack that will let lock the screen so the touch screen doesn't recognize input so that I could launch netflix or youtube for my 1.5 yo daughter and she can touch it without messing it up?
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
there is an App on the Market called "Screen Tools" which has this function.

It allows you to use your camera button to "disable" the touchscreen. Not sure if this app will work on our Acer tablets, as we have no camera button - but it may be worth a 99cent gamble.

Also, from I have seen with the Netflix app - it does not keep playing in the background or pause when another app takes focus - it just stops the video and dumps you back to the selection screen. Not sure if this is going to be possible :(
[Acer Iconia A500] ikillulots:
I wonder if this would be better in the development section it would be nice to assign the rotation lock to a screen hold/lock
[Acer Iconia A500] daveid:
This is not a topic for the development section, perhaps in Android General or Android Software and Hacking, as I see this being an application (especially since there is no source available for HC to be modified in such a way as you are hoping, meaning for a ROM developer to make this happen would be kind of far-fetched right now). Certainly it would require root, and most likely it would work as launcher replacement, perhaps requiring a specific gesture to be drawn to unlock the screen. This is a neat idea, not sure if the sdk allows this type of control from a launcher replacement, but perhaps Anderwebs (the developer of ADW) or another launcher master would know if this is possible. They would also be the most likely to implement this type of feature. Perhaps ask a moderator to move this into the Android Software Development and Hacking forum?

Unless you want to completely limit your options be requiring this to use the rotation lock switch, which would make this a device specific request, severely limiting the number of developers (application and os level) who would be able to assist you. I would approach it from a more generic state, make it applicable to all Android devices, and that way I could get more people interested in it and make it happen.

But, don't just go and start a whole bunch of threads, ask a mod to move this thread, change the title of your post to something like : App/Feature Request - Baby Proof (On-Demand Input Locking). That might work. I would stick with gesture based, and make it require a multi-touch gesture, obviously you would make something that your child could not easily imitate as your gesture, to unlock it, there should be an easy way to enter lock mode as well...

just my 2 cents
[Acer Iconia A500] v_lestat:
Just go buy app locker... it will lock everything or specific apps
