[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
But did anyone seriously expect a different behavior? :p

HTC won't unlock the WFS bootloader as we already know... so how can anybody expect they would allow OTA updates on rooted phones? :confused:

Since I own HTC Android phones I never saw an OTA update working on a rooted or debranded phone (HTC Tattoo, HTC Desire, HTC Wildfire, HTC Wildfire S).

Before rooting or debranding (unbranding) everything is fine. When we "cross the line" we are on our own.

Any updates must be installed by us. Anyway that shouldn't be difficult to do... ;)

IMHO that should be simple to understand. :rolleyes:

I guess installing a modified recovery and then expecting for a free software update would be like showing the middle finger to HTC and still asking for candy.

Android is "open source" software but only until some extent. HTC puts a lot of modifications on their releases (mainly Sense and some addons).

If we want to "kit" or "mod" or phones we should be conscious of what we're doing.

The price to pay for being impatient or for wanting to have complete control of our devices is now pretty obvious. :(

I'm not saying I agree with this... on the contrary! HTC should unlock the booloader and let us do what we want.

However if we decide to take that path it's our problem.

If I put myself on HTC's boots I understand that rooting/debranding/modifying recovery is a valid reason for voiding warranty and locking future updates. With an user modified phone there is no guarantee that HTC can predict what will happen during the update process.

If something goes wrong there are possibly too many variables involved that are out of their control.

Just my two cents... sorry for my long posts mates. :D
[HTC Wildfire S] woprr:
And unrooted and probably s-on bootloader after flash?

Forget it. Trash this HTC ****, I backup and participate in sense- less custom roms ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
I don't understand why people buy HTC phones which are mainly "famous" because of Sense and then want to get rid of it.

It's like buying a Ferrari and removing the logo with the horse. :D

If I wanted a plain Vanilla Android phone there would be plenty of cheaper solutions available. Many of them with custom roms being developed. :p

So why buy HTC and remove it's main feature? :confused:

This is obviously just my opinion. No flaming intended.
[HTC Wildfire S] woprr:
Well, it was my first smartphone ever, and what I got for 200€ is a nasty brick of bugs with hours extra work of fixing.

This piece of crap is not even capable of setting the clock correctly without rooting.

Then comes a update and they block my phone.

I'm really fed up of HTC "Quality", and want most of their "commercialware" removed now.

I will never buy any HTC again. I've had it.

I don't rally want or expect the OTA update, but have it disabled in wifes phone, but it still comes up in menu bar n says update available.

Anyway to stop it displaying this?

Hello xda community!

I am looking into buying a tablet soon, and am wondering what tablet I should get for this will be my first.

I would like it if the tablet had an active developement community.

Any suggestion?

Thanks!

If you have enough money to spare and a bit patience, i would wait for the transformer prime and see how it is welcomed in the developement community.

Besides that, the acer iconia A501/A500 are not bad.

If it should be a bit more low budget, check out one of the amazon readers. Most have received android custom ROMs.

Am I the only person who has thought of this? I have multiple batteries and it kinda gets old having to reboot every time I need to switch batteries, so I thought that maybe there was a way to mod 2 of them together in order to get longer battery life.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjFarout:
Good idea!

You'd have to figure out which terminals on the battery are Positive/Negative/Temperature. Then you want to connect the batteries in Parallel, (Positive to Positive, Negative to Negative) don't mess with the temperature terminal. Check the volts before and after! They should be the same!

I did a Google search in hopes someone else did this with a cellphone, but didn't find anything. So here is a Instructables about creating a external battery source. It has good information about what you want to do.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
@satishm_us: Do search next time before you post, as it is a site rule. A similar question was already asked here. The only difference is that the user in the linked thread had already rooted to install a custom ROM, whereas you haven't. Thus the response of ivantastic is very useful.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DellStreakuser:
I hope I am correct, but, you dont need to root the phone if you plan to load a custom rom. They are pre-rooted. To load a custom rom, you need to enter into the fast boot mode (by long pressing the camera and power button simultaneously and flash a custom recovery image. Then reboot and enter the custom recovery mode by long pressing both volume buttons and power simultaneously. There is a pretty comprehensive guide for flashing custom rom of the wiki page for dell streak on xda.

It terms of custom rom, I know you didnt ask,.but,.i feel dsc rom 0.62b is much more stable and almost as power efficient as the ginger streak. You might wanna consider flashing the gkernel1.5 final. I preffered being on the 405 baseband, though dsc recommends 406.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
For the most part you're correct. Most custom ROMs are pre-rooted, meaning all the OP would have to do is flash StreakMod then flash the ROM of his choice. However, I have seen custom ROMs for other devices that weren't pre-rooted so you never can tell what a ROM chef may or may not do.

Was having problems after install of faux kernel so I was gonna put the stock kernel back on. Only way of doing this was odin and the tar file. Plugged the phone in the pc and held power and vol up+down. Instead of going into download mode, the phone started to boot normally. I pulled the battery. Now when I go to turn the phone on it won't do anything. And if I try to connect it to the pc, it vibrates on and off continuously.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rsalina9:
That's not how you go into download mode. Its volume up+down at the same time not power.

In bubbys thread he says "Hold the volume up/down and power button all at the same time."

Anyways. Is there a way to get it to work or did I brick?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chib1panda:
What else have you tried to do. Yes it is holding just both volume buttons and then plugging to computer. The other combo is for recovery. And why Odin stock kernel when there is a cwm one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The_Biz:
I ran to the car and did a few things with the charger and battery pulling and it finally booted. Can you point me to the cwm file for stock kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cadiken:
Not bricked. Try removing the battery for a minute (let power dicipate) then put the battery back in. Hold vol up + down at the same time and plug in your usb cable (must be plugged into the computer first). This puts the phone into download mode.

Hello.

I've been buying a couple of apps that I do not want to download right away, but the download starts automatically. So I wait for them to install, when it is finished I can't uninstall them because of the refund button. I uninstalled one of them through "Manage applications" and still got a refund. Which I did not want.

It's been about 40 minutes since I bought them but the refund button is still there.

Could anyone help me with this. Thank you in advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
If it has been more than 15 minutes and the refund button still shows, then go to manage applications. Find Market and clear data. That should also clear cache, but if you still have the option to clear cache do that as well.

Reboot if you want, but it shouldn't be necessary. When you go back to the Market they shouldn't allow you to refund anymore. If they do then you can either wait it out or freeze them with TB - you have to have the pro version of Titanium Backup to freeze apps. Be sure that in the settings for TB that freezing an app doesn't remove its market entry... I can't remember the exact wording of the option but it's in there.

1) how do i got about flashing the P509 with a stock P500(non us) version ROM? im new to flashing so i have no clue. what to download and what to do

2) since P509 uses 1700/2100 and the P500 uses 900/2100 do i keep 2100 if i do flash to P500 stock 2.2 then 2.3?

im really dont mind loosing Tmo 3G as long as i still keep the 2100 band for international 3G

3) what are the differences between v10L and v10S? i know V10L is super sluggish so i would like to try v10S, im currently running Launcher Pro Plus so there are is minimal slugishness

4) how can i flash my p509 to STOCK ROM without any of the bloatware Tmo put in it?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Helldrak:
root your phone, install rom manager, flash clockwork mod recovery and make a nandroid backup, as long as you have a nandroid backup, u can easily recover your phone back to the exact state it was before, so you can try flashing other roms to see if the baseband still works. Make sure you have clockwork mod recovery installed and made a nandroid before doing anything else.

Thank you for contacting HTC regarding your HTC Flyer.

I understand that you are currently enquiring about the Wi-Fi update. At this point in time I cannot confirm or deny future updates to . For this reason I would suggest you to follow our official website and social media networks for further announcements.

I apologise I cannot give you more information but HTC closely guards its privacy when it comes to future software and products, we find out information about the same time as you!

The Wi-Fi update will be released at a seperate time to the ROM update so that our server's aren't strained to cope.

I hope that this information meets with your requirements. Should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me again.

No you didn't. Rom Manager uses it's own CWM and your phone via 3 finger has it's own recovery. If you want them to be the same THEN you have to flash CWM5 as well in whatever recovery is on your phone. ROM Managers CWM is on the sd card.

If you simply flash 5.027 you will have 2 CWMs on your phone and they will be the same. As far as the ROM labeling what ROM are you on and did you flash Marcusant's speed up tweaks? That may have caused the labeling error. What does your phone say in About Phone?

Any idea how to underclock I've heard it increases battery life?
[Desire HD General] olyloh6696:
Root > setcpu
[Desire HD General] if4ct0r:
If you are using a custom ROM then the ondemand governance will take care of the underclocking when not in use and increase the clock frequency when your usage demands it. That provides reasonable battery saving while not compromising on performance.

Fixing the frequency to a lower limit might increase the battery life but has serious performance issues. Might be handy in critical battery saving situations though.

SetCPU, CPU Master etc.. Such apps can let you modify the upper and lower clocking limits.

Cheers for the replies,where do I get the oc,as for set CPU..you mean one of killersloths kernel scripts?

[Desire HD General] shad0wboss:
keep in mind that undervolt = giving less power to CPU = can cause damage overtime or reduce battery life.

I mean all these undervolt things don't increase battery time by a huge difference than stock and risking your CPU for just 15 minutes of battery life isn't worth it in my opinion...
