[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 'Tron:
The filename Windows Phone generates for photos is stupidly long e.g. Photo_B301FECA-6159-62F4-7B77-E4D45402AAF0

Does anyone know of an app which lets you rename a photo's filename?

Perhaps the mango update lets you change the filename?

There are a handful of ROMS to choose from now and was just wondering what people consider the best ROMs. The things I am looking at are:

1. Speed

2. Stability

3. Features

If I have missed any please let me know...

Gingerstreak 2.3.3!

Sent from the SuperStreak! ;-)
[Streak 5 General] G1an:
1st. Streakdroid 1.9.1

2nd.Simplestreak 1.2 or 1.3beta

3rd. Gingerstreak a.k.a Streakdroid 2.3.3beta

Currently rockin' the last one.. quite good besides some hickups now and then..
[Streak 5 General] Mike's Aria:
This should be in the general section.
[Streak 5 General] GeneralSmart:
Using 1.9.1 atm, tried 2.3 but had random turnoffs....
[Streak 5 General] (InsertNameHere):
StreakDroid 1.9.1 tried SimpleStreak 1.3 test 5 but it doesn't seem as good, StreakDroid has a nice text file to configure options upon installation, i like that.
[Streak 5 General] orinoco:
Hmmm, good question...

I tried Cyanogen 2.0 and liked it, but it kept turning off at random (couldn't figure out why).

I voted for 1.9.1 (most stable for me). But I can't get the headset to work properly (I can hear the caller's voice, but the caller won't hear me).
[Streak 5 General] zsolti256:
seems like people are mixing up the ginger streak 2.3 with 2.0.0 . I dont think anyone is using 2.0.0, not to mention saying it is fast and stable...
[Streak 5 General] slaydog:
I would say SD 1.9.1

I have been using SimpleStreak for months now, but just went back to StreakDroid. I like the zip of SimpleStreak derived from being so stripped down, but you gotta hand it to Dj_Steve for creating a ROM that is so damn fast and includes EVERYTHING!

Of course as soon as the new SimpleStreak is final I will probably switch, because I find that they all get stale after a while...
[Streak 5 General] khoolupseng:
How about the battery life?
[Streak 5 General] LucasXus:
1.PlayDoh - v1.0 - 354 base best battery life

2.Simple Streak 1.2 - Lite ROM Speed, Stability

3.Gingerstreak 2.3.3 will be nice when fix all bug's
[Streak 5 General] garethsimpsonuk:
Cool, thanks for all the responses. It seems the stock rom is the most popular followed by 1.9.1 and 2.3.

I have tried SD 1.9.1 and I'm on 2.0 now but I feel the speed is pretty poor. I'm thinking of switching to simple.

Does the launcher have a big effect on speed?
[Streak 5 General] awexdasome:
StreakDroid 2.4

New Streak Droid 2.4 rock! Stable and fast, best available Rom currently for the Dell Streak IMO.

[Streak 5 General] KnowHow:
Bluetooth problems were fixed in 2.2.2, I think. Gingerbread (GingerStreak 2.4b) seems to work even better so far. More consistent behavior with apps using stereo Bluetooth especially.

hmmm there was an sbf that I used that both allowed you to unlock + had the ram fix I assume it does the same thing (which is flash the boot img) so the question out to the world is it save to flash a 2.3.4 boot img on froyo?

I believe the answer is yes, but if i'm wrong I don't know of any 2.2 boot img files you can use to revert, you would have to flash the orange 2.2 sbf again

everything i have read suggests this will not be a problem. If it were me I would give it a go. maybe wait a bit to see if anyone sees this and yells NO!

[Defy General] HytestA:
Not sure if anyone can help here, but its worth a shot.

I recently took the plunge and flashed my phone and installed CM7.1 RC1.5 and its all working fine at the moment.

I have always used GoLauncher since about the 2nd day of owning my defy and think its a very good launcher so want to stick with it, I also like all the accompanying GoApp and widgets.

Now under 2.2.2. when I used the GoContacts widget and selected a contact a pop up bar appeared to give several options - Phone - Contact info - Message - email etc and when selecting phone for example it would initially give me a choice of either stock dialer app or GoDialer. I would pick GoDialer and set as default choice.

Now under CM7.1 RC1.5 I have been able to allocate GoSMS for the messaging part but I cannot get the Phone or Contacts to allocate to the GoDialler/GoContacts apps.

I have tried uninstalling the Go apps and reinstalling but I never get given a choice to choose from, it just automatically goes into the stock CM7.1 dialer or contact app. I have also cleared the data and defaults from the relevant Go apps and the CM7.1 dialer and contacts apps but this has not helped.

Does anyone know if I need to do anything to allow me to choose the Go apps?

I know its not a major thing but I just would rather tie everything together and to be honest I prefer the look of the Go apps :D

thanks for any help

[Desire General] calyxim:
Hi guys,

I've got a htc wildfire and I'd like to upgrade it to something better. Desire fits my price range but I have some doubts.

A lot of htc phones share a common grounding problem. When you put your phone in a car cradle/holder or on a soft surface like sofa or pillow screen does not respond as it should. Please check the videos;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s30h7Uh6-CI

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbIrdQ3ejDI

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ss81Y124GeY#t=50s

(if you use 2 fingers it won't be a problem as your second finger will be completing the ground circuit. but it is quite dangerous to use your both hands to click on a battery warning box while riding a motorbike)

I use my phone as a satnav a lot. So it would be a major issue for me if you guys phones suffer the same issue.

Could you guys just try it on a pillow/cushion for me please?

Cheers :D
[Desire General] k3lcior:
Never had that issue, that's some b0rked handsets dude, maybe they were dry or whatever.

Well about buying Desire, if you will Root it then it's surely worth it.
[Desire General] andQlimax:
in my opinion, desire it's really outdated now

if you can, better go for the desire s, it is going to replace the desire "original"

i never saw that issues on my desire..
[Desire General] mercianary:
I cant replicate that bug, as suggested above that phone must me broken.

Desire is a bit old now but still a good device with lots of dev support here, many roms to choose from.

Downsides...battery will last a day if your lucky, limited internal memory, no multitouch (dual touch only).
[Desire General] asestar:
I can only confirm that the grounding bug is not a common issue. My old (AMOLED) desire does not have it. Since the whole back of desire is made from removable soft-plastic cover, I see no reason why this can be (other than liquid damage).

About buying a Desire today, its worth it IF you can find original AMOLED version. If you get SLCD version, then its better to go with either Incredible S or Desire S. Avoid Desire HD since the screen on that one is very poor quality (color and contrasts are very weak).
[Desire General] undercover:
Never heard of such issue on the original Desire. Not sure about S, but other HTC phones have that issue, yes. Desire is a good phone, very good actually, by be prepared to learn about a2sd+ or CM7 hboot if you want to install more than a handful of apps. If you don't want to root, then go for desire s.
[Desire General] asestar:
Going from Wildfire -> Desire (even SLCD) is going to be a HUGE improvement. So if price of Desire S/Incredible S is way more, then go for it. Desire should be a good improvement.

Main downside with Desire:

Battery will be weaker compared to wildfire.

GPU performance is not on par with current phones (Desire S etc are much faster). But still better than wildfire!

All other issues can be solved with root/custom ROM.
[Desire General] k3lcior:
How can u compare battery life of Desire and Wildfire?

Wildfire: 3,2" screen with 240x320 res, 384mb RAM, cpu 528mhz

Desire: 3,7" screen 480x800, 576mb RAM, cpu 1GHZ

It's obvious that wildfire might have better battery life since it's **** phone, lol.

And tbh 1 day of heavy use with smartphone is not a bad result, those phones are made for it. If you want 1 week battery life buy Nokia 3310.
[Desire General] calyxim:
Compared to Wildfire Desire's memory is huge :D

I can overcome battery issue by buying 3 spare chinese batteries for peanuts as I did before for my wildfire. (touch wood they are still strong after 5 months)

There is only one amoled Desire on ebay which is a bit overpriced. (200 pounds)

Thanks for the heads up guys. I'll keep digging...
[Desire General] asestar:
Simply by how many hours you can use a phone while staying away from a cable :D

I know they have vastly different hardware, but come on. If you are used to 2-3 days on 1 charge, having to charge every night is gonna be something you will need to get used to.

I remember having around 2 days battery life with my Desire last year when 2.2 upgrade came (some time in september/october). So battery age can also be an issue.
[Desire General] andQlimax:
Im not sure about that, because the free memory available is only 140 mb to install apps (the rest of the memory is occupied by the rom itself)
[Desire General] asestar:
But that is solved by root and app2sd/data2sd rom. I got 78mb free + 350mb on ext3 SD, making me never worry about space.
[Desire General] user7743:
I have the Desire and my other half has the Wildfire. I'm sure if you went from the Wildfire to the Desire you would be happy. As others have said, the Desire might not be bleeding edge now (but it is far from "outdated"). There are plenty of ROM's to choose from if you don't get on with the standard. I also have not experienced any touch screen weirdness - I have even used my desire on my motorbike in that past without problem.

You certainly could do worse.
[Desire General] siomay8:
Nice option!

With all the support this device is getting from devs?thats more than enough for you to consider.

But sorry, i dont have a bike.lol
[Desire General] jovi_soco:
Desire.....Its rather hot when its working, and the poor battery life... wait for some better options.
[Desire General] therealsebo:
I have my Desire for 2 years almost and I am very happy with it. The memory issue is easy to bypass with some custom ROM.

But TODAY I would not buy the Desire as it is a little outdated. Yes I would stick to HTC any day and go for the Desire S or the Sensation. But then again, it is your choice and you budget :)
[Desire General] ms|ayrton:
Oh yes. Desire is a great phone, really powerful, and in late 2011, it's a much cheaper choice than a Sensation for example (which seems to be the top), I suggest you to buy a second hand Desire, root it and use custom roms, I haven't done it yet, but I used my friends Desire for a day, which had a custom rom with Gingerbread, and it was smooth as silk.

so, I wouldn't call it outdated yet. less powerful than the new ones? true.
[Desire General] tarunsoni:
I would suggest Desire as

1.its much cheaper than Sensation

2.it would take time for the dual core phones to reach to their full potential

3.only few games require dual core

4.you can run sense 3.0 and 3.5 sense roms which run very smoothly

5.it is widely supported by devs

I believe Desire will never be outdated
[Desire General] TheRealSlimDesire:
Go for it, desire has a great dev community too
[Desire General] geronimo789:
I'm sorry for jacking the thread, but the noob video said to do that right ?

I'm in the same boat as the OP, current HTC wildfire owner, and sick to death of it. My main problem is the slowness and cr*p screen.

So anyway, I've been looking for an update, and i'm strongly leaning towards the desire. I can get it for 300 eur, and maybe I can sell my wildfire for 50-100 to some poor sod (:cruel:). The desire S is 399, which is a tad high but *might* be considered if it's really deemed that much faster.

I just want a cellphone with a good screen and better text input (the wildfire's screen is way too small for texting efficiently), which is a reason why i'm leaning towards the desire Z (with keyboard). I know it's not as powerful as the other desire models, but still.

Custom rome are a requirement. Maybe not right away, but if i find something I don't like i'd like to be able to change it.

I can go on for a while like this, so i'll KISS, phone requirements:

- good screen (big enough, resolution)

- GPS (doesn't have to be state of the art, it just has to have a radio)

- Bluetooth

- Good input method (implies a larger screen or, preferably a hard press keyboard)

- I prefer hard buttons on the bottom instead of touch ones; i won't press them by accident (= annoying on wildfire)

- Responsive

- Not too expensive

I don't care about anything else, so the GPU makes no real difference to me i think, unless it really helps with anything besides games. Are any of the desire series a good match or would I be better off sticking with the wildfire until i can get something high budget ?
[Desire General] will8578:
I upgraded from the piece of poo wildfire to the desire, the phone is awesome, and unless the phone is better on my next upgrade, i'll be keeping my desire, i got mine for £150 off ebay, im using the latest miui rom and with moderate to low usage iv just past 3 days without charge and iv %15 percent left, normally i get 1day and a half with medium to heavy usuage, thats with the latest tiamat kernel.

[Desire General] geronimo789:
Thanks for all the replies. Looks like i'm still going to have to put up with the wildfire a bit longer. Maybe i'll find the additional funds and a good deal to get me something a little 'higher class' like a galaxy S2, incredible or maybe even an iPhone if i can find a good deal.
[Desire General] geronimo789:
Just an FYI for people wondering the same thing, I got a Nexus S for 270 eur :D

Looks like it's around the same as the desire (used to be nexus one i think) only you don't have to put up with HTC.
[Desire General] 6chrisp:
I've had the same issue with the touchscreen on my Desire: when it's flat on a (usually hard) surface, the screen often completely fails to respond.

As for buying one, I've had mine for 15 months now and I love it, but I certainly wouldn't recommend buying one now. It was once the best phone on the market, but a lot has changed since Feb 2010, and you'll quickly feel the need to root. Of course, rooting is fine (if you forget the risks(!)), but why buy a new phone that you know is lagging behind others?
[Desire General] axlastro:
Desire or Galaxy S

Hi guys, tomorrow I'm getting either a Desire ot a Galaxy S. The desire is in slightly better codition (as new) and the Galaxy is used for a couple of months.

I own a htc Dream - great phone, but I'm sick of it (had ot for 2+ years).

There are a few concerns about the desire :

1. Battery lifespan (the original battery of my dream bloated after 1,5 years of use)

2. Screen - it will probably be SLCD, but will it have Multitouch bug as with the original desire - two points that will siwch positions and won't let you use multitouch fully.

3. Memory - the RAM is Ok, but I hate A2SD as it slows donw things.

The Samsung has some advantages : Bigger&Better Screen, CPU + GPU, will probably get ICS

as the Nexus S will for sure. But there will be some minor cosmetic issues around the bezel (used phone).

I don't care about the lack of camera flash on the SGS
[Desire General] erklat:
A2SD will not slow things down. A2SD+ will on the other hand. Down to memory, Galaxy is in obvious comparative advantage.

I can't say for sure I'd go for it now if I could choose again. The phone feels cheapskate when brand new, so I'm afraid what it looks like after a few months of use especially if the previous owner doesn't care about his stuff.
[Desire General] axlastro:
Yep, My biggest concern is the looks of an used SGS. I'm about to find out tomorrow when the seller shows me both phones. On the other hand - Desire = Nexus 1, SGS=Nexus S (almost), so this means that getting the SGS sends me about one year ahead.
[Desire General] freefall2:
If you are thinking of getting the Desire you might want to try and get the S or the HD. However, if it was me buying now i would get a galaxy.
[Desire General] c4p3fi3rr:
I've been using my Desire for 18 months, and i still like it very much. It does the very same things a 500 euro Galaxy S2 can do (maybe a bit slower). I suggest you to get one if the price is good (no more than 150£/€). Here in Italy brand new Nexus S are sold for 280€, it's the best deal at the moment imho.
[Desire General] angle2k3:
I bought a desire a year ago for £200. Running GingerVillian my battery lasts at least a day using the phone about 4 hours as an mp3 player, and it is super quick compared with my old wildfire. So yeah, great phone and can be relatively inexpensive, not much hope of any more official updates though.
[Desire General] erklat:
No hope at all for that.
[Desire General] cha0seng:
I've had mine around the same amount of time, only started modding it a month ago. Easily the best and most fun I've ever had with a phone.
