I had the same thing but only a tiny speck. I was trying to pull off a piece of **** snap on case and in the process the case scratched the paint. Don't buy those clear snap-on-the-side cases with the supposedly metallic backing. They're ****balls.

Anyway I covered it up with a dot of black permanent marker and forgot about it since. Thankfully the scratch was small enough to get away with that.
[HTC Desire S] pasan:
Mine has started to do the same from either side of the ear piece. I think it might be some kind of corrosion on the aluminium due to sweat maybe? I live on an island with a tropical climate, so its basically a sauna year around.

Is there any apps/hacks that can allow the user to use the volume button (or any hardkeys) as the camer shutter? Thanks
[Desire HD General] hopscotchjunkie:
Not sure for the stock camera but if you don't mind using another camera app Vignette (which I much prefer to the stock camera) lets you use the volume button or the search button for the shutter. Sure other similar apps would do the same.

[Desire HD General] hsncool:
i was just about to request this myself lol (slightly ios5 inspired, not gonna lie lol).

i hate how hard it is it correctly target the shutter button on the touchscreen while not looking. would be handy to have one of the volumes to focus and one to shoot!
[General Questions and Answers] Carlos Panda:
Thanks to Orange UK being unhelpful regarding a contract upgrade (sim only to pay monthly is apparently impossible) and then providing incorrect advice to a friend of mine, she now has the following problem with her HTC Desire S S510e.

She desperately needs to be able to use the Orange Signal Boost (UMA) app and was told that although Orange were unable to sell her an HTC Desire S she could buy one herself (unbranded / unlocked) and then this would allow her to receive and make phone calls on her Orange account via UMA. Too late she has discovered that this is nonsense - the HTC firmware / software that comes with the non-Orange phone does not include the Kineto Smart Wi-Fi (Orange Signal Boost) app.

Both HTC and Orange are unwilling to help.

So here are the questions:

1. Is it possible for her to replace the factory HTC firmware / software with the Orange version? She is not concerned if this means her phone will then be locked to Orange as it was never her intention to change networks.

2. Is there any risk that trying to do this will break the phone?

3. After the change (if this is indeed possible) will the phone then function exactly as if it had come from Orange UK (eg: update automatically etc)?

If this oddly in-reverse process is possible could someone please provide me with an idiot-proof guide (I do not have phone developer experience) or links to all the steps to follow and also where to find any required software or files.

I have already downloaded the file RUU_Saga_Orange_UK_1.31.61.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_178918_signed

but am unsure if this is the most recent version available and if so how to install it.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Carlos Panda:
Problem Solved

Solution:

1. Install HTC Sync. No need to run the app but the drivers are required for the RUU step later.

2. Make a Gold Card. Visit this site to find-out how:

>addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd<

I used the SD card that came with the phone.

3. Download an appropriate RUU.

4. Turn the phone off and connect to the PC via USB.

5. Open the RUU file and follow the instructions.

The result should be a phone with the required RUU (in my case Orange UK) that will function / update as normal.

NB: If you are branding an unbranded HTC as an Orange (or other) HTC then you do not need to get involved in rooting / unrooting. Clearly you would only wish to brand for a very specific reason (such as to gain access to the Orange UK Signal Boost / UMA feature).

Good Luck
[General Questions and Answers] Jonny2k:
Hi all,

I am looking to do this on my Desire S, as I have problems getting signal on my generic phone.

If I was to put the Orange ROM onto my phone so I can use orange signal boosting, will I be able to go back to stock easily enough if needed.

I have recently updated OTA to

Android Version - 2.3.5

Software number - 2.10.401.4

Is the Orange ROM this version?

Thanks in advance,
[General Questions and Answers] nch45167:
Have you now sorted this?

I have done virtually the same and it works perfectly - let me know if you need the file.
[General Questions and Answers] ScyBy:
I've had a similar problem, any chance I could get hold of the RUU? I can't find it anywhere after hours of Googling.
[General Questions and Answers] timjohnstone:
I've been searching and searching on how to solve the same problem - could anyone give me a hint on finding a valid download link for the Orange HTC Desire S RUU that nch45167 infers does exist. I can't find it from googling.

The reason I want to get back to the provider stock ROM is to get the Signal Boost feature on Orange. I've seen links to apps people have extracted of Signal Boost to use on rooted devices, but I really don't want to do that. Looks far too tricky, and not a very good success rate from reading the comments.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Lara_Shadow:
I have read lots of posts to root phone. Every one is saying "I am not responsible for your phone?"

What is making Android so uncertain? I mean

If you will execute command it will do its specified task. "adb devices" it will for sure show device attached.

If you execute a command to move a file in msc partition it will move file.

Because as a developer: Never say something not running. But you should say what you tried and what is your output?

Or Is this because people may not follow specified procedure?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] emcp422:
The biggest two reasons are no two phones are the same just because they try to make them the same doesn't mean they work the same they only test phone to pass a certain threshold once they get there they are approved but some phones barely get there while some exceed it, and developer put that phrase because people do things they don't understand to their phones and then they go like,I flashed your thing and my phone is broke

[Venue Pro General] theusername:
Ill check it out for you tonight and let ya know for sure. The all of the phones media is based off/through the Zune software. So if Zune supports it, the phone will too.
[Venue Pro General] MJCS:
You will need to transcode and compress it. An hour of TV at 1920x1080 will run you around 7GB an hour at a bit rate of about 18mbps. Thats if your provider actually sends over 18mbps. Anyways running a video at that rate will just drain your battery. No need to run a video at a non-native resolution
[Venue Pro General] Zurvv:
even if it could play it.. convert it. mpeg2 is poorly compressed.

h264 in a mp4 would be a better pick and not fill up your flash.
[Venue Pro General] Zurvv:
but no.. it won't play as a ts or mpeg file.

EZ test for you.. try to play it in zune. it will X it if you try to put it in your zune collection.

ez mode would be making it into a wmv.

i'm pretty sure if you play it in windows media center there is a option to export to mobile (it will then convert it to wmv) (h264 in mp4 is a small file better quality still)
[Venue Pro General] magicsquid:
Agree with the above - looks like it will need transcoding.

Another good program for transcoding is Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr). It can convert .ts files into formats (e.g. mp4) that will play on the DVP. Handbrake is free and can also deinterlace the video for you.
[Venue Pro General] sonynokia2009:
There is an apps call VPlayer for Android phone, and it works pretty well without converting... and just want to know if there is anything similar for WP7...
[Venue Pro General] sonynokia2009:
so... there is no way to play TS file (MPEG2) on WP7 ?
[Venue Pro General] magicsquid:
Might be worth asking the question in the overall WP7 Q&A forum.

This is pure speculation, but based upon Verizon's past course of dealings I would be very surprised if this was a 100% pure Android phone. At minimum I think we will see carrier bloat stuff like VZW Navigator on there. Whether TW shows up on the phone is hazier but I would lean towards, no.

I can't seem to get phone to finish Fastboot or RSD boot. I can put the phone into either mode, and it gives me the screen Starting Fastboot (or RSD) protocol support. Then it stops there. If I plug in the phone, Fastboot devices returns nothing.

I had updated my phone to the latest OTA, 2.3.4, and then used the Fastboot method of rooting phone with these instructions.

http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root

Phone is definitely rooted, have several apps loaded that need SU. When I boot phone normally it is recognized as a mass storage device in both windows and linux (I can drag and drop files from and to phone).

So why would fastboot quit working after root, and would that have caused it?
