[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
There's no working "jailbreak" for an up-to-date HTC phone right now. All you need, though, is a developer unlock; "jailbreak" is usually used to describe something that bypasses or modifies the phone's security settings; developer unlock is a feature built into the phone by design.

Until recently, you could use ChevronWP7 Labs (http://labs.chevronwp7.com) for a cheap dev-unlock, but apparently Microsoft has limited the number of uses of that tool, nd they sold out a month ago. No word yet on if/when they'll get more. In the meantime, there are two official ways to get dev-unlocked:

1: Purchase an AppHub (marketplace developer) account from http://create.msdn.com. $99/year, 10 unsigned apps at once, lets you submit to the marketplace.

2: Get a free student AppHub account through http://dreamspark.com. Requires a student email address and only allows 3 unsigned apps at once, but no cost and also lets you submit to the marketplace (if you're into that; please remember that this is a developer forum, not a "make my phone cool" forum).

Alternatively, you could downgrade your phone to pre-NoDo (build 7004 or 7008), set your computer's and phone's clocks back a year, and use ChevronWP7 Unlocker (not the ChevronWP7 Labs, the original one). Then, look for instructions on staying "chevron unlocked" as you install the upgrades on your phone. It's a mess but it's possible.

To try and increase the number of apps you can install (to an effectively unlimited number), and allow installing apps that use the capability ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES (which can be used to get an app more permissions than its sandbox allows) on Mango, you can look up "interop unlock" as well. If you use the legacy ChevronWP7 Unlocker and then carry that forward, you'll almost certainly get interop-unlock included for free (one way to simplify this would be to install the Htc Interop Unlock XAP in NoDo, then upgrade to Mango and follow the unlock instructions after updating).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mailman78:
Maybe it's the best option for downgrade, and than again update on mango. I just want to know is it gonna effect my phone in any way (I mean on bad effect). I'm gonna search here for that options.

Thank you for your answer and for your time. I appreciate it!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akorpija:
@mailman78

Let me know how this all goes for you, as I have the exact same phone (in Australia). I'm wanting to try the downgrade/jailbreak/update route, but would love to know how someone else went about it. Cheers!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mailman78:
I've done it without problem!

1. downgrade bootloader from 5.xx to in my case 1.69 (or other 3.xx, 2.xx, 1.xx)

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1411904)

2. install RSPL and HSPL

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18244911)

3. install custom ROM

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1476058)

Step 2. is VERY IMPORTANT, otherwise you CAN DAMAGE your phone device.

You must consult guys from thread-s that I gave you for Australia, I haven't spot anything about Australia! Before you doing anything, first take a time to read very carefully posts, comments and other things, BECAUSE I live in Europe, and here it's working (it's says

europe

htc hd7 devices)! In this threads it's explained very smooth and great!

I hope so that you will find something for you.

i am having the same issue > hard brick = my xt311 . was second hand sao it was pretty cheap. but i still need to unbrick it

[HTC Sensation] micahbzrk:
I own a Sony Xperia Play r800i I believed unlocked on T-mobile US and I also own a HTC Sensation 4G.

Now the Sensation of course has a slightly bigger screen at 4.3 inches and the screen is a bit darker being QHD vs the Play's LCD i believe.

But I am trying to decide which phone I should keep and which phone I should sell and i was playing with both phones at the same time and I noticed that my Sensation is sometimes right on spar speedwise and often times behind the Xperia Play.

Which is baffling b/c the Sensation is 1.2 GhZ dualcore vs the Play's 1GHZ single-core.

Example:

Launching both HTC Contacts & Sony Contacts, the Play always loads the same contact faster. Sense tends to have to "load" the contact for a second or two when the play automatically launches it.

I'm using Go launcher on both with the same theme and the rotate times on both phones is equal though at times the play tends to rotate faster and the app drawer opens faster.

But the Speed of the browser is what baffled me the most. Now the Sensation is 4G so i didn't use T-mobile network speed. I used my own wifi connection to test the browsers.

I went to 3 different sites with both phones at the same time and loaded the pages. Flash was enabled on both phones and the Play loaded faster. Granted the Sensation did start showing pictures and text first by the end of the load times, the play loaded faster.

So how is this possible that a 1GHZ phone can best a Dualcore phone? I wish I still had my Galaxy S2 to test it.

Have you tried your phone against Dual-core phones?

Personally i am a bit torn on which to keep.

The Play does work out of the box the way it should however the Cameras on the front and back are awful though the Sensation is only slightly better....

The Sensation is an attractive device with a slightly brighter and bigger screen but at the same time it can be slow and the call quality is not great at all tbh.

It's OKAY but eh.

I wish I could root them both to see which is better but no clue where to begin.

Have you tried your phone against Single core phones? Notice any differences?
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Well on stock our Sennys do have dual cores but the phone does not utilize the second one until it's needed. It reduces the strain and battery usage. It's been stated in many different threads.
[HTC Sensation] micahbzrk:
Well given that I just got this phone and I only started frequenting this forum just last week or so, I didn't know that :)

SO to make sure I understand, essentially both my play and Sensation are only using 1 core until the Sensation actually needs to use the second One? If that is true, then would it have to "need" to use the second core.
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
If the day to day performance if the xperia play is only slightly behind (or maybe better?) than that of the sensation, then I say what the heck keep the xperia play. :D

I only say this because I'm a big fpse fan and the fpse experience on the xperia play is unmatched.

But that's just the opinion of a grown up gamer who is still trying not to let go. :p
[HTC Sensation] micahbzrk:
LOL i understand :D

The gamepad is unmatched really when it comes to gaming.

THe only thing really is the camera really of the play...it is utter crap.

Well, not crap really but i have seen much better 5 megapxiel camera and the Front Facing camera is even worse

Though the Sensation isn't the best either.

Such a tough decision and Idk what to lol
[HTC Sensation] erto90:
for gaming sensation will be absolutely better, a lot better!

consider that Sensation got a new cpu and games are to be optimized for it and for its dual core cpu, that use only 1 core if 2° not needed

For the pad, xperia own it, and there is no discussion, for gaming is better than touchscreen

But if you search for pure performance, Sensation is A LOT BETTER

Sensation btw, lacks on OPENGL driver, and sucks at that benchies.. But for sure it will be fixed by HTC soon, maybe with official ICS
[General Questions and Answers] omarswt:
It is highly propable that you've already read about such, not so mystical, threats to your personal information security like those related to mobile applications asking for too much rights and those where certificates for websites have got compromised. I'm curious to get to know what you know about possibility of the flaws in the actual logistics and manufacturing related to the smart phone you bought yesterday (for example).

Let me put my question this way: If you ought to choose a standpoint, where you tell others why you think that smart phones can not contain any physical components that are actually intended to leak information (usage patterns, meta information of viewed photos, installed applications, etc.) to the certain spesific party, what would you say?

Try also thinking something "smaller" than a company as a whole (*). Think about small working groups and teams containing designers, coders etc. from different continents and cultures, people involved in the transportation of the devices, level of abilities of manufacturers of the pirated goods, personality of sailsmen in the stores, personality of repairmen, social networks, etc.

If you really need to use word "carrieriq" in your answers, may I kindly ask you to say something that you think haven't been said well enough. Also, try to think something more spectacular than a single virus that got accidently installed at the factory.

If you feel that I seem to be the one, who is lacking knowledge in some area, please tell me. I'm always open for re-organizing my views of the world, if enough effort is used in the form of a good explanation.

(*) Actually you might not be thinking a company "as a whole". You might just add the name of a company to some sentence without actually thinking what you just wrote. People tend to think that they are thinking.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] naguz:
Thanks! That worked great.

What I have note so far, is that the device is in general a bit more sluggish than the UK v3 OM from nebulanerd, alhough changing frequency governor from conservative to ondemand in CM settings seems to have helped a bit. I guess this could be both to graphic drivers or kernel tweaks. What kind fo kernl does it run? Has it been possible to base it on a userbuilt kernel yet?

I'd love to see a ROM with a user built kernel as a foundation, maybe then we can someday have the perfect Novo 8 ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] $$pasquale:
The NebularNerd's ROM is based on tomx2h ROM. The only tweak seems to be mtd_partition_info (2GB) (by cheeyee)

and maybe frequency governor. I use conservative, like Ainol, because the battery life is very short! Maybe that firmware seem faster because uses ADW Launcher EX...

PS: I build new boot.img, with usb support...

bye
[Miscellaneous Android Development] naguz:
Might well have been the governor, as I don't notice any noticeable differences now. Also, I have installed ADW EX. Would have liked a more tablet-centric launcher, but VTL hasn' t been updated in a while, it seems.

Yes, the battery life is short (power hungry amlogic SoC isnæt really that suited for tablets, really).

Next time I'm buying a china-tablet I'm gonna make sure it comes rom a manufacturer who give ot source code, so we can see great efforts like this earlier and easier. It seems just as stable as the various modded ROMs already.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] naguz:
Some issues:

->Usb connetion is broken on screen off, both adb, usb mountt etc just dies. This should ideally not happen while there is a connection.

-> accelerometer/g-sensor is way of. Tilting forward equals turning left, and it doesn't behave as it should. Seen in t.ex. skies of glory (free) whih works well on other ROMs, so it shouldn't be a device issue. I can calibrate it just fine, but it seems every direction either equals tilting it left or doing nothing. Running "accelerometervalues app", it seems to be working though. Turning/tilting left and right registeres as opposites on the x-axis while the y and z axes are usually exact opposites of each other. I don't really know what the problem is.

-> Market shwows "not compatible with your device" on a LOT of apps. It seems some really basic requirement mut be missing from the build.prop. I can't even install Chainfire...

-> Bugs with enabling/disabling airplane mode and wifi. See here. (error descriptopn amon logcat output.

Also, please tell me if there is anything in particular you want to have tested.

edit: Do tell if you have any idea of when/if ac3/dts playback would be possible.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] $$pasquale:
I don't know when but will be fixed. I'm working on it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] $$pasquale:
Maybe this bug will be fixed in stable cyanogenmod.

Official firmware use a different way to "hear" the accelerometer sensors. I'm patching cyanogenmod source for imitate.

This problem was born with new Market version (also with NebularNerd firmware). I will try to include vending of official firmware. If you wish you can try...

I advise you not to waste time with wifi... This firmware use a temporary solution because wifi module is built-in kernel (insmod and rmmod return 0 always). This problem will be solved but now I'm working for adding support for multiple usb mount and ac3/dts decode.

Will do, thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] naguz:
Also, please don't take any problems described as nagging or being unappreciative. I just list every problem I encounter as I go, in case you weren't aware of them yet.

My main problem now is that the charge plug on my novo 8 is damagaed - and it's not the external plug, it's the socket on the board. Sadly, I think that will be very hard to fix in software. :P

I didn't quite catch what kernel you use - do you use one from ainol OFW with added bits, or is it built from scratch based on earlier available sources?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] $$pasquale:
Unfortunately, I use official kernel with my initramfs because the sources are bad. Please, read this patch

https://github.com/psquare/uImage_builder
[Miscellaneous Android Development] naguz:
Ah, ok. That was what I really thought, but there was mentions in the other thread that someone had tried to build a kernel from the available sources. Guess it didn't go to well. Available kernel source will definitely be something I'm looking for next time I buy a tablet. Not having it makes any porting/modding that much harder.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] $$pasquale:
accelerometer/g-sensor 180 degrees

Hi, maybe this problem do not exist...

Settings --> CyanogenMod settings --> Display

check 180 degrees

Now work fine? (almost fine)

bye
[Miscellaneous Android Development] naguz:
Nope.

Just did a quick test in skies of glory. Holding the screen against me, the top tilted about 40 degrees from me, calibrate in-game that way:

-> Tilting tablet away from me: turning left. (should dive.) When the accelerometer works as it should, it does this movement when i turn the tablet to the left like you turn the steering wheel on a car.

-> Tilting tablet towards me : turning right. (should fly upwards)

Turning the tablet left or right (like a steering wheel) makes it go crazy, and it doesn't do any "straight line" movement change". If I push the left edge of the tablet towards me, it sorts of dive like it should when i push the top edge towards me, but not quite...

Note: I am using the build.prop from the nublanerd ROM, but I have commented out the rotation line, and rotation works just fine everywhere else. This is also the exact same behaviour I saw with the included build.prop (I believe) I can test with yours again tomorrow. My guess is that the axis reads right, but that the wrong accelerometer axis is paired with the wring input axis in software. If you have any idea of how to reliably test this, I'd be happy to.
