I have an HTC HD7 from O2 UK (Unlocked) with the newest WM 7.5 (v7.10.8107)

Suddenly today I was unable to get into my music thru the Music & Videos App. I was also unable to access Marketplace. The screen just continued to show the Start screen. I found a solution thru Google - turn the PDA off (long hold of the power button, then swipe down) then on again. It worked.

Anyone had this problem? Why does it happen? Is Microsoft going to fix this?

Hi guys

Can anyone tell me how I can add a new keyboard to my phone please? I had a gingerbread one on my Desire, but I can't get this phone to read any, and I hate the default one :confused:

Thanks :)
[HTC Sensation XL] MinecraftZombi.es:
Should justbe the same as any other phone.

Install the new keyboard from the market, restart and then activate the new IME in the keyboard and language settings.

Once activated there, you can select it when entering text.

I'm currently running CM9 on my HP Touchpad. I was wondering what the difference is between CM9 and Buttery ICS. Are they the same build but different features? Are there things that one has and the other doesn't?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicle_11:
cm9 is based on cyanogen source, buttah is based on evervolve (spelling?).

Go to classicnerd.net, it has the info you're looking for.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viny2cool:
buttah is better.....and i am totally biased.... anyways not many devs/members appreciate rom comparison threads...try both yourself and u will find the difference..

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calash:
This early in the ICS development game it is less about A vs B and more about who has what working. These are Alpha builds at different stages of development with different focus on moving forward.

I am personally biased toward Classicnerd myself, but that should not impact your decision. Try them both yourself and you can then make an informed decision on the ROM that works good for you.

I will say that I have had both installed and both look great. Unfortunately no one has made any headway on the wifi issues... :(

I will say that the nerds have really done a nice job with the graphics. It's just really nice to look at. So if you're going for the "cool" effect. That might be a good choice.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nhialor:
What graphics? As far as I am concerned wifi is iffy and HD video don't work on either so they're both essentialtially equal. But they're very very advanced for an alpha and can't wait for the next release.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seliger:
I was talking specifically about the "eye candy". The wifi has been a train wreck for me thus far. I'm not sure how there are so many that aren't having issues.

The only way I can get the thing to stay connected for any length of time is to run a wide open AP or public wifi spots. WEP, WPA2 and WPA2 Enterprise are worthless.

But I do agree, for an alpha, it is very nice to run. I just wish I could USE the things that I need to make it actually useful for me...
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias4ever:
No offense to anyone here. :) But I have CyanogenMod 9 Alpha 0.6 installed on my TouchPad and I have not had ANY problems with my WiFi staying connected. I used to have CyanogenMod 7 Alpha 3.5 and I had issues with my WiFi then but I have not had one issue with my WiFi staying connected to my internet at all. Every morning and every time I "wake up" my TouchPad my Wifi is on and ready to use. :) I LOVE CyanogenMod 9 Alpha 0.6 as does my Mom who also has it on her TouchPad! :D

P.S. Make sure in your WiFi settings you go to the Advanced feature and that you select that your WiFi is set to NEVER sleep. :p
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBCaptivate:
I may be wrong but I think that the wifi is a hardware issue. I have used both Roms and have never had an issue with wifi. It could be the routers used since there are so many different ones being used or the wifi chip inside the TP. These are the only things that are not constant for everyone.

Just my opinion.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seliger:
I can't agree. The wifi works great in WebOS. Nothing but issues in cm9 and 7 and through the variety of kangs and the varying suggestions on how to try to fix it.

I have been all over this place with my bionic. I have tried 901 and went back to 893 using saver and other methods. The tools seem to do the job. My problem is trying to install an update from verizon. It will download and get to the end of the install, but then I get stuck in a failed fastboot with cdt errors. I am able to fix that using the Fixcdt, but every time my phone reboots I have to force it out of fastboot and into normal startup.. I have searched high and low and have found little bits of info out there, but nothing that has nailed it. Does anybody have the answer that I am looking for?

Thanks for they help!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] greeneink:
You won't be able to install it. Since you have the .901 cdt.bin on your phone, you will need that file with anything you load until you have the "soon to be official" .902.

To install the official Big Red OS (which is no different than the ones floating on here) you will need to be on 5.5.886. You will need to download it to your phone, then move that to your PC, unzip, replace the cdt.bin file with the .901 file, then Fastboot it with RSD Lite it. Then you will have the .893.

Or you can download the .902 file and flash it in recovery OR you can wait a few days until it is OFFICIALLY pushed to your phone.

I believe this to be correct, but there are more knowledgeable people on the forum that may give you an answer you prefer.

memory pb

Hello jomarx

I've rooted my OT 918 phone.

And now I need space on my memory intern. I have only 50Mo free.

I've removed pre-installed apps with root uninstaller. But the free space doesn't increase !!!

So I want to use my Sd card to solve the problem.

I have to make a partition on my SD. I dont know how to do that ?

After I should use linktoSD. Do you have a tuto ?

Thanks a lot for your help !

Ricky
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loadaverage:
the preinstalled apps are on /system (read only),

updates for these preinstalled apps and your downloaded

apps go on /data

i havent tried, but perhaps it would be possible to move apps

from /data/apps to /system/apps (after remounting), but their

updates would still go to /data later.

---------- Post added at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 AM ----------

reporting that the "spanish method" (overwriting the /system partition

with breakk's image using flashtool) worked for me as well. thanks!

as it downgraded me from v23AAM0 to v23AAE0, hopefully there weren't

any critical changes since :]

any gallery of screenshots (the more the better) about the spanish ROM?

is it so much better?

i am not in a hurry to change ROMs, actually i am more than impressed

about this no non-sense ROM after extensive motorola use.

there is virtually no alcatel branded bloatware on there, some reasonable

additions from the market (also not overdone), and for the first time

i am not looking for a new launcher. it's simple, it's fast. ditto with the

messaging and calling apps, their dual sim versions are simply excellent.

the notification bar is also great, never understood why all the other ROMs

are getting rid of the totally useful quick settings in there. not cool.

i am quite amazed what this phone can do on shoestring hw. 256M ram,

600Mhz CPU? my defy+ is suddenly much less sexy.

the only thing i miss is a led (flashlight) for the camera, and that the

blue charger led could be used for notifications.

i had zero expectations when i bought this phone, (as a dual sim

backup phone) and did not really know what to expect.

i was very pleasantly surprised. seriously, if they sold this with

a gorilla glass display with 16M colours, for some 100-120 euros, this

would be a seriously cool low end gem.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _2one_:
have tried to root my phone with M0 for days but didn't work. At one point when the battery was empty I connected it to my pc via usb and while charging I switched on the phone. I tried to root again and it worked :rolleyes:

anyway, it is rooted now so I created a nandroid backup and started to play with the rom and looked at this blue rom. I compared the blue rom with the original e0 version and didn't find much, just some deleted/replaced/added apks, modified build.prop, init.d and perhaps there's more but I didn't spend much time on it.

To be honest, I think there's much talk about little. It took me about 30 minutes to get my test rom running on the 918d using ubuntu & kitchen. To me this is not creating a ROM, its modding one.

I created/modded a new ROM from my nandroid backup M0 version, removed loads of apps, tried the build.prop changes but didn't see (much) effects, so removed them again. I also changed the launcher, tried several but ended up (like blue rom) with zeam, it's small and works 100%.

Just for fun i'm currently changing the bootimages, screen unlocker, some audiofiles and replace the market apk by the latest .19 play store. When done I will post my stripped down version together with a zip containing all removed apks.

Backup IMEI

hi,

I have two 918D phones both rooted. both worked fine. on one I wanted to change the google account, so I did a factory reset. after that the phone did not boot, it stopped after the android logo. tried to restore previous backups but without success. I can go in Recovery mode and Factory Mode.

that is where (Factory Mode) I found that there is no IMEI shown in the Product Information. if I choose Version, the phone freezes (have to pull out battery).

so my questions are:

1. is there anybody who had similar problem after factory resetting the rooted 918D?

2. where can I find the IMEI info on the phone, as nandroid dose not back it up. I searched for it but found no efs partition like on the Samsung phones.

I am thinking, if I can backup the IMEI of the working phone, than I can restore it on the bricked one. I would not care that I have two phones with the same IMEI. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboci:
OK. I got an answer for this one. The IMEI is stored here:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weslyr:
I had the same problem as the two guys above (EBOOT 10001 error during 'download' in flash tool with android 2.3.5), but I finally solved it.

At first I used some files (flashtool, scatter, img) that I downloaded from a different site, but the error kept occuring

I then deleting the flashtool, scatter-file and img-file and redownloaded the files from the original tutorial source: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23736584&postcount=43 . I noticed the filenames were slightly different (and the system.img filesize was way different too. I think the first/smaller one was just recovery image while the second/bigger one was the full system image. The full system image is needed in this step)

I extracted the files from the original tutorial and I put the scatter file and system.img file in the same directory. When I selected the scatter-file in the flashtool, the android-checkbox was automatically selected and the directory to the system.img file was automatically set. I pressed download and suddenly the flashing went right that time (I am now running puzzle blue 1.1).

Thanks to everybody involved: breakk, kmakro, team Puzzle SBH Blue and all!

Now if only we could get:

- call recording functionality (total recall works just fine)

- a 'wake on home-button' patch (stupid me, the device already wakes up on home-button :) )

- that distracting android-logo removed from notification (see the last screenshot below)

- Dutch language spellingcorrection dictionary

@breakk, do you have any ideas about the last two points?
