[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jallenbo:
Hi everyone!

Today the new weekly release of MIUI was released. I downloaded it to my phone, and chose to install it. The phone rebooted and was stuck on the M-logo. I could only get into the stock Android recovery.

After some googling I found a site that told me to flash the phone with RDS Lite.

After having flashed my phone with RSD Lite the phone is simply dead.

The LED light turns white when I connect it to a computer, but nothing happens when I push the power-button.

I excperienced this also when I tried to root my phone, back then the issue was low battery. This time the battery was at 100 % when i updated MIUI, so i doubt this is the problem. The phone has been connected to AC charger for 30 minutes now, and there's still no reaction.

Anybody got a solution for this?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuffany:
Holding volume-up and push power button. If you can get into bootloader, connect the phone to computer and get RSD lite working.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balika01:
whit this will not boot...

you should make a flactory reset in stock recovery

it will boot whit MIUI:)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jallenbo:
I didn't try the factory reset, but I think I got the wrong ROM. When I downloaded the Nordic Edition of Motorola SBF, and flashed it, the phone booted normally.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anchris:
Defy can not boot - M logo flashes

It seems that our problems are similar and your Defy works again - what did you do to bring it back again?

I am not getting the PIN code activation on services such as Chaton or Gropman among others, presumably because I have disabled diffusion message... :eek:

Anyone know where or how it is activated in the X8?? I do not see anything about it.

[HTC Sensation] adamsanchez:
Hi guys,

I have insertCoin 3.3.9 giving me android version 2.3.5 and sense 3.5 yet when i launch Talk 1.3 i never receive a video icon against any of my contacts, can anyone help?

What do i need to do to get this showing the video icon? Do i need to enable something? And if so what?

I was a couple of weeks ago at someones house and they tried it from their phone calling via video and it worked but now i no longer get the video icon so can anyone guide me as to why maybe?

I've tried unistalling and installing the apk again and still nothing , also i've tried enabling all different settings and still nothing including tapping in the app my status update and there isnt an option for enabling or disabling video so have no idea what to do next.

Would appreciate it anyone has had the same experience sharing the way to resolve this maybe.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] DarthLuca:
My G-Talk alsa does not have video icons on contacts. Thats because contacts does not support video chat. If a contacts supports video chats you will see the icon, and anyway all your contacts make a video call to you. There is no option to turn on or off the video. It's built in the app
[HTC Sensation] adamsanchez:
sorry not quite understanding what you mean, but most of my contacts have me on their list with a video icon on their HTC sensations yet i dont have a video icon for them on mine so that doesnt really make sense which is what i'm trying to understand.

For instance a friend has me on talk with a video icon on their HTC sensation yet on my talk for them i only ever get a green dot not a video icon.

Any ideas?

Theres certain ones i have on my list that dont have video but i can understand those as they dont have the ability to do this but not the ones that can anbd have it available and listed on their end
[HTC Sensation] Tabulous:
I dont know if you ever got this fix, but just chiming in to say press and hold on to your username and it should give u an option to enable voice and video chat.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] DUTCH Van Atlanta:
How does one view the content of the SD Card from the Vivid device itself?

I can connect the Vivid to my PC via USB cable and view the SD Card as a separate drive on the PC, but cannot see how to view the SD Card content from within the device.

Suggestions? TIA.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] doktor buknasty:
Get a file explorer app from the marketplace. Try Astro.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
First, you need to get a file manager application from the market. There are many of them, mostly free or low cost. I'm not crazy about Astro, the one I downloaded, but it works. Look at some others.

On my Vivid in the root directory is a folder called sdcard. That is the 8.83 GB user portion internal memory portion of the "16 GB" internal memory. Also, I have a folder called sdcard2. It's the 32 GB micro SD card I installed.

Interestingly, there is also a folder in the root directory called mnt. Under it is a folder called sdcard. It is the same as the sdcard under the root directory. Under mnt/sdcard is ext_sd. That is the 32 GB external SD card. I don't know if this duplicate listing is the work of the file manager app, or if it is the Android OS, but I am able to find files and copy files from one place to another.

With me making no changes for applications and data during application installations (I'm not sure I can), all of the apps I have installed have gone into the other portion of internal memory. The data seems to be going into the user portion of internal memory. When I installed the external SD card, I copied music files to it from my PC. The music player found them with no problem. Also, once the card was installed, photos I took were placed on the external SD card instead of internal memory.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] DUTCH Van Atlanta:
How does one access the root directory? Is that what the file manager app does?

(New to Android, and still in the learning phase.)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
Don't feel alone. I just came from several years on the old Windows Mobile. In the file manager, I click on the Up icon until it won't go any further. You will see only a '/' in the address/location bar near the top. You will likely see folders such as acct, app-cache, config, sys, sysytem, etc., as well as mnt, sdcard and sdcard2. Tap on the sdcard2 folder icon, and you will see any folders you have on your external SD card.

In Astro, you can specifiy where the program opens when it starts. It can be the root directry, the exteranl SD card or any other location.

By the way, the other poster likes Astro. It comes with other tools. The "free" version has ads, but it might have a paid version. And it does come with an Exit button, something missing from a lot of Android apps.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] DUTCH Van Atlanta:
Thanks much!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
/sdcard is a symlink to /mnt/sdcard/ its the same thing, just a 'shortcut' to the actual mounted partition located in /mnt

/sdcard2 is a symlink to /mnt/ext_sd/ same thing, just a 'shortcut'

the actual ROOT system is inaccessible unless you have root access and an app that can see it, like root explorer, or es file manager. there are probably a few others that can get into the actual root of the filesystem.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
Thanks for the explanation. What I meant by "root" was the top level of the file system, e.g. C:\ on a Windows PC. "Root" apparently has a different meaning in the Android OS.

ES File Manager was the other highly rated file manager, along with Astro when I searched for "file manager" in the Market.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
root in linux and subsequently, android, has an entirely different meaning. ;)

in a sense, you have it right. / in linux/android is the root of the filesystem, equivalent to C:\ in windows pcs.

without having root (superuser access) on linux/android, you cant see the / or most of the directories below it. the general user only has direct access to storage, like /sdcard, /sdcard2 (also referred to as ext_sd, or sd_ext)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] StrangeShadow:
I was wondering about this, can we Not access the rest of this 16GB ...what happened to the other 8GB...?

I too just made the Jump from WM 6.5 (<-- nightmare), so I have no clue how a lot of things work too. ;P hehe I'm a noob again ;P
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
the phone is marketed as having 16gb of onboard storage, but in reality, 1gb is dedicated to the ROM, aka /system

4gb is dedicated to /data which handles app installs and the like.

the remaining is storage for you to use.

be lucky you have all that. my other HTC phones all just had a mere 2gb or 4gb TOTAL storage (all allocated to /system and /data), which required you to have an SDCard just to be able to take pics or put music/movies/ringtones on it....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] StrangeShadow:
Wow! Yeah I figured at least a Gig for the Rom. The rest is pretty nuts though, any way we can see a detailed breakdown on our phone? Didn't expect it to be so much.

Can we install apps on the sd card, like some WM apps?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milkywayer:
Hey so i recently converted. Back in symbian (XM 5530) I used to have an app that'd conveniently record all calls/messages (after playing back my msg) if i didn't pick up for like 40seconds. all the messages would be stored offline.

Now i see all kinds of 'visual voice mail' and the likes apps on market but i can't find an app with this simple functionality. Is there such an app? (i'm on SGS2 ). I don't want to use my operator's voicemail and Google Voice doesn't work here.

I hope 'theres an app for that'.

Please share android gurus.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kullt:
Hullomail is a great voicemail app.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milkywayer:
Does it work in any of the 200 countries beside the US/UK? :p caz i'm not living there

To clarify, i want something offline. an offline app, my crappy symbian phone had one such app. It's simple mobile101. Something that picks up a call if i don't pickup for like 30 secs. plays a message and records the user message to memory. I dont want to pay extra to my operator for voicemail.. I dont want to go through lengthy processes and new services to route my friend's calls/recordings.

Something offline. on the phone. that does't need internet to run. doesn't cost monney and works in asia
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nyssa1104:
Asia kinda big still for what country do you need it to work in?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milkywayer:
Pakistan to be precise. but Like i mentioned in first post. I used to have an app on symbian that'd record all calls offline (no internet, no voicemail operator BS) . It'd just pick up a call if i didn't pickup for 30,40 seconds , play my msg and let them record their msg. All offline, no internet required, no 3rd party call forwarding, so regardless of locality, if such an app exists, it shud work everywhere.

It's a simple task but I couldn't find any app for this simple task on android market which is a bit surprisng, considering how sucky symbian is and how it lacks apps support but it had that app and it is a pretty primary task, i can't use GV, or any third party internet/call-forwarding app.

Was wondering if anyone knows an offline line app that'd do thi ssimple task.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] RohanAJoshi:
Hello guys.

I m confused in these two models.

Obviously, Neo is is best cause of 8mp camera.

but neo is never launched in india, so i m getting it from ebay, the imported one which have no warranty or limited software warranty, getting it at 17k.

And Neo V is official launched in india with official warranty getting 16.5k.

.

So plz tell me that, can i trust sellers ? will he ship original product ?

Also please give ur feedback about hardware problem in ur Neo since year.

Thanx.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Qwerty123 \m/:
I'd say you buy the Neo

It got CM7 which the Neo V lags

And afaik the Neo has HD games support that the Neo V doesn't*

*Not entirely sure tho

And the Neo V has an 8mp camera
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vimjam:
difference between NEO & NEO V is only the camera 8mp

CM7 isn't even released for neo v yet , but it will be available soon

NEO V can run all the HD games which NEO can run
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] psyhound:
The only difference between those two is camera, but there is one more thing - Neo is shipped with 8GB memory card and Neo V comes with 2GB memory card.

Sent from my precious Xperia Neo ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
But I bought a 16GB sd card, because my 8GB was full after 2 months. I think many users that have music etc. on their sdcards will buy one with larger capacity anyway, 8GB or 2GB, it doesn't matter. I use my 8GB for installing zips and nandroid backups now.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] circleofomega:
Sorry to butt in, but what about the games on Neo V ?? Can we play HD 3D games..like Shadow Gun and Riptide??

Will it support or lag??

I am not concerned about the Cam much...but games is one of the reasons I may be buying it..dont want to get disappointed then...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] protocol11:
Leaving the camera all the hardware is same so gaming well not be a problem I think.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ThilinaC:
Shadowgun works perfect,no lags so far.Sshot from yesterday.No idea about Riptide

tho touch screen gaming is very new to me,pc gaming junkie from like I was 4-5 years old till I die :p xD
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sainath23:
Hey bro Neo is available in India with warranty. Recently my friend has also bought Neo. I'm also thinking to buy it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] emailprashanthvg:
riptide works smoothly mate

in my neo
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] circleofomega:
Neo yes...but Neo V??

Anyways, I am assuming if it works good on Neo, it will work fine on V also?

Thanx for the reply!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ThilinaC:
Other than camera and the bundled microsd card rest is the same on Neo and Neo V afaik.So in theory it should be same.I will try riptide tomorrow,so you need some feedback wait a little :)

Edit-Tried riptide now on Neo V and works great :D sshot uploaded

great game btw
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] circleofomega:
Thanx so so much... the missus is going all bonkers...hehehehe..shes so so happy...

and thank u really...Thilina
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ThilinaC:
Hehe glad I could help and no problem :)

one more thing I tried yesterday,Modern combat 3 fallen nation works fine in Neo V,what more I could ask from this phone,maybe 8mp cam lol
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] circleofomega:
she hardly clicks pix...but it will greatly help for video call...:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vamsikrishnach:
Am also looking to buy neo V

but still thinking to choose between Neo V and Ray !!:confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] ThilinaC:
Better to go with Neo than ray mate,compared all the camera's(Neo,Neo V & Ray) quality in gsm arena photo comparing tool and tbh best cam was Neo.Ray's colors was too much bright for my taste,Neo V's colors are ok but some details are not captured great while Neo's snaps looked great comparing to other two.If you got enough money go for Neo or Neo V(should be much cheaper than both Neo & Ray) instead Ray.Besides comparing to Neo/Neo V ray got a smaller screen too(3.3" vs 3.7").
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Pandemic:
I have the Neo V to, i love this phone and its not only about the 8mp pixel of the Neo, The Neo V have a good 5mp to, and the Neo V is the lil brother of his big brother Neo, that's the way i see;) and the Neo V gets ics first then his brother :D so who is better ?!!!:p
[Desire General] abellimz:
Hello guys.

The title says everything.

So.. my personal favourite is sebastian's Runny rom. Pretty smooth and fast for me :D

And, I have tried MIUI and CM7.

Dont really like MIUI's UI, plus CM7 looks pretty ugly to me.

Sense roms are still the best aren't they? :D

Sense widgets are pretty useful too!

What about your favourite roms?
[Desire General] erklat:
Oh no, another thread which will turn into Runnymede gospels :rolleyes:

For me anything based on Sense 1.9 will do, although I prefer Neophyte's work.

SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using XDA App.
[Desire General] danarama:
Runnymede ports are the shizzle yo
[Desire General] biohaufen:
Well, I think AOSP, but Sense looks nice xD
[Desire General] sheepytoo:
got to be the supernova ROM from droidzone and Sibere :D
[Desire General] Terepin:
My favourite ROM would be the one which would hide these idiotic and useless threads.
[Desire General] yoyocam:
Supernova ROM from droidzone
[Desire General] DNL_Daniel:
Definitely Leedroid 3.3.3r5, I used to flash different ones but I kept going back to leedroid, its the most stable and responsive rom, I use it with newest snq kernel and recommended radio. Its power hungry though but it doesnt put me off as long as battery lasts for more than a day with HSDPA mode on.
[Desire General] Gupardox:
Till now its silky rom, very fast with al lot of apps not installed, i like that. But i will try Runnymede soon.. many people recommended it so yeah...
[Desire General] erklat:
After the Gingerbread syndrome* I'd say it is a reason against. You decide if that is the bunch to be followed.

*The Gingerbread syndrome is severe brain trauma caused by smashing your head against your desk because Desire never received an official update.
[Desire General] boelze:
My favourite would be Oxygen.

I like the look of AOSP (sense looks cool too though) and absolutely love its performance. This plus great compatibility and constant updates makes it my rom of choice.
[Desire General] 1st_paladin:
Agree! Sense ROMs are cool. I really like LeeDroid ROM. Coming in a close second is RCMixHD.
[Desire General] Shmarkus:
My experiences with different ROMs

Hi all,

here's my experiences with different ROM's and finally my #1 ROM at the moment.

I have flashed ROMs for 3 months (so I haven't tried all of them).

I am using Desire Bravo with CM7/r2 with latest radio (32.56)

My first experience from a stock ROM was Insertcoins 1.1.2 and it was AWESOME.

Then I flashed a Honeycomb themed mod of Insertcoins ROM, since I loved it very much. However I started experiencing random freezes and crashes.

At this point first Sence 3.5 ports were out and I flashed Blissymedes ROM (v1)(kerraris version of it). It was even more awesome since it was Sence 3.5 and had all the nifty little features that one would miss in Sence 2.1. This however started to act quite unstable within a week or so.

By that time Runnymedes ROM (v1) was out so I gave it a try. Again, after a week or so stability was gone and soft reboots weren't too often.

By this point I got over my "fear" for other-than-sence ROMs and I flashed MIUI

At first it seemed awkward and a bit ugly, but since it has a lot of theming possibilities, I managed to get it to my liking. And boy this was smooth compared to any Sence ROM. Such responsiveness..

I had no problems running it and I liked it but I wanted to try another ROM that has scored high user ratings- Cyanogenmod.

So I flashed Cyanogenmod 7.1. It was okay, nothing really special and I really don't like the default AOSP looks, so I flashed MIUI back and am happily using it ever since.

Only thing I

really

miss, is Sence's calendar and mail widgets. Clock is nice also. No substitute widget has come close to Sences widgets but I belive that in time we will see even nicer widgets for non-sence ROMs.

I am aware that most soft reboots and freezes might be caused by bad kernel, overclocking etc and not the ROM itself, but many ROMs come with suggested kernels and have pre-set OC daemon.

Hope this sheds some light for some of you
[Desire General] danarama:
Aosp all the way
[Desire General] cvejleaa:
Not sure, have tried a lot. Right now I'm on MildWild 1.5 based on Oxygen. Nice and smooth.
[Desire General] Someone09:
There are three ROMs that I really really love(d):

- Robociks expresso sense ROM. I really do miss this one. Fast, stable and beautiful.

- Coolexes AceS port. Also pretty fast, stable and great battery life.

- My current ROM: Runnymede port by seb
[Desire General] k3lcior:
No matter what I try always coming back to Oxygen.
[Desire General] yabbie:
I prefer Sense ROMs too..
[Desire General] smackemback:
Runnymede AIO V2.2 Cm7r2 AD2SDX by Seb but with the Blue Glass Runny Edition v4.0 Theme that I am using just now

Prior to that I would have to say Leedroid roms are very stable & very well put together I used them for over a year with only the power drain as a concern
[Desire General] badgett:
Cyanogenmod 7 for me. But I get tired of roms easy and have to try something else.
[Desire General] pokosik:
don't have best rom. I think every rom has some pluses and minuses. from 3.5sense roms best is AIO by sebastian. 2.0+3.0 is rovolution 2.0 by tamirda. Best stock sensnse gingerbread is Supernova 2.4. And two best AOSP roms is oxygen by AdamG and cyanogen 7. But witch is the best i can't decide. AOSP is really quick but to "blank" for me. I like sense but sometimes it is to lagy. So i don't have best of the best :rolleyes:
[Desire General] pixelmine:
Currently running MIUI. I'd also like to give Oxygen a go.
[Desire General] WRson:
Insertcoin is also very good , isnt it ? ;)

And i really cant become a friend of Revolutions transparent look.

But its a very very good rom , too.
[Desire General] scherfa:
Tested only Sebastians runnymede and the leedroid rom. I like leedroids style and the freshness of sebastians work..
[Desire General] |flyte|:
Seb,s. Runnymede AIO v2.2 but without Rosie = winning.
[Desire General] beltezor:
Currently running RevolutioN v2.0

Very fast and stable
[Desire General] NirvaniX:
My Current rom is RunnyMede 5.0 From Sebaastian

For hTC Sense 2.0 is SuperNova

For hTC Sense 2.1 is GingerBurst

For hTC Sense 3.0 is AURORA 4

For AOSP is MIUI XJ
[Desire General] harm007:
Actually, I switch between Runnymede AIO (from sebastian) and RunnymedeMod007 (from michaelm_007).

I tested several ROM and I prefer Sense ROM.

;)
[Desire General] UltimateGoblin:
I think there is no match: the stability and usefulness of SuperNova is amazing!

2GBs of internal storage... hundreds of apps on my phone without a hitch... this really boosted my little Desire's lifecycle of at least a year. No kidding.
[Desire General] harm007:
I also tried Supernova but with my sdcard class10, the speed was slow...

But, I think it is a good ROM.
