Help? Please... Please
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smjfosho:
im trying to set up adb, and it wont recognize my mytouch. ive searched and what i found didnt work for me.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] C0dy:
This helped me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smjfosho:
i dont have windows 7
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sombionix:
First download USBDeview - http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview.zip

Unzip it

Run USBDeview.exe as Administrator

You will see all drivers being used on your computer

Highlight and Uninstall all drivers with the description have HTC Android (Should be 3 of them)

Right Click on the driver and press uninstall

Once done, Unplug your phone and plug it back in

You should now get the notification of the ADB device

Follow the steps above to install the drivers

Then, plug your phone in, don't mount it! Pull up a command windows and type:

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools (or wherever you have your sdk installed)

adb devices (should see your phones serial number listed if you did it correctly)

adb shell

su (for root access)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smjfosho:
i tried this method, did work for me
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sombionix:
did work or didn't?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smjfosho:
sorry, it didnt work for me
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sombionix:
Hmmm....worked for me and many others. Strange. You did download SDK with the appropriate drivers, right?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smjfosho:
i downloaded the sdk, what drivers are you talking about?

when i setup the sdk, i downloaded those drivers.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sombionix:
It was a long time ago when I downloaded SDK, however, if I'm not mistaken, I believe when it connects to the server and gives you download options, one of those options is USB drivers.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sombionix:
http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f4/how-to-install-android-sdk-v1-0-step-by-step-5749/index3.html

Yeah, there are definitely USB drivers you need to download.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smjfosho:
thats about 64bit windows, im only using a 32bit.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sombionix:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

Here are the USB drivers for windows. Also, make sure you have 'debugging' checked in your phoned settings. ADB won't work otherwise. After you install the drivers, follow the steps on the first page. Hope that works!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smjfosho:
ive tried this as well, that didnt work either,

i think im missing something
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sombionix:
Wish I could offer more help, not sure why it won't work. Everything I told you to try is exactly how I set mine up and it works.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smjfosho:
when i go into the usbthing i only have one htc and not 3?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sombionix:
You have to make sure you're running USBdeview as admin on your computer. Also, you won't necessarily have 3. Just select which ever ones you do have, right click and delete those files. Then unplug your phone and plug it back in. You computer should automatically install the appropriate drivers, and you should be able to use adb.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smjfosho:
so i did all of that, typed the commands, and it says list of adb devices:

then there is nothing afterward
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sombionix:
No serial number underneath?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smjfosho:
nope, nothing
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sombionix:
:confused: The only other thing I can suggest is possibly starting from scratch. Uninstall SDK, reinstall SDK and the USB drivers, then follow the steps again. Like I said, it worked for me and many others. Not sure why it wouldn't work on your phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] AsTuRkInG:
well... i dont see anything about this, i mean, the unlock by software, like the geohot's job's for the iphone, not by imei code.

there are something?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dkdontforget:
hey i was wondering if it was possible to use the fm radio chip in the phone as a fm transmiter for a car or something that can pick up the signals. sort of how you can hook up something to an ipod and it will play it on a channel on the radio.

or is the chip in the phone just a reciever?

thanks for the info
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] petard:
Just a receiver in the TP2. Apparently the chip in the HD2 can transmit but is not configured to do so.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] InRBigness:
You would have to buy an fm modulator and run your phone through it. Why you would want to do this I am unsure because you would need to FM in your car stereo in the first place. You could play mp3's or internet radio through the car radio though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] token2k6:
yeah, this is 2010, I can understand if you can't buy a car that has an AUX input already (b/c 99% of them do) but buy a $100 head unit, or search crutchfield for a solution...nothing beats listening to streaming Slacker while driving, I'm thinking about cancelling my $150/year SiriusXM sub just b/c of it, but I do love the talk shows on there..:rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] badasschris:
I have a bluetooth head unit and can connect my phone through that. I don't do that but if you want a wireless connection to your car that is by far the best way fm is always rubbish
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sukru:
Line-in connection is better than Bluetooth. But you're right that FM is worse.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Archer:
My only advice would be to do a check after each RemoveDirectory to ensure that it's actually happened, before proceeding. (Maybe code your own method that does this.)

I only say this because I have, in the past, had a similar issue where my app was basically running faster than the file system. Maybe you're trying to remove the SleepSense directory before the sub-folders have had chance to actually be deleted.

It's worth a shot, either way.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajhvdb:
Do you have an example for this? I was hoping I was doing something wrong in my code.

I can do something like:

try at least 10 times
if folder exists
- delete folder
- sleep 500 mseconds
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ramdroid77:
sorry that's a horrendous approach!

I think you need to make sure that the directory is really empty otherwise it will fail. I suggest to go through FindFirstFile/FindNextFile *.* and delete all found files before calling RemoveDirectory. Recursive through all sub-folders of course. In the recursive function you can also delete each directory after all files have been removed because it's also very bad approach to add all subdirectories hardcoded. add a new one in the future and it won't work anymore. And with this way you have only one function call in uninstall_exit
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajhvdb:
Well thanks for the help:

Adding FindClose(hfind) after every findfirst solved my first problem.

While working with a messagebox all was working. As Said; It seems the OS needed some time to close handles, etc.

I did add two sleep(500) lines and it is working.
[HD2 General] THE GRIZZ:
hello all

it costs around $900 here and it will cost half that unlocked from t-mobile on the 24th. is there anything i need to worry about before ordering it for a friend from the states and using it here (Saudi Arabia). we use

2100mhz

+900mhz for our 3G band so it should work fine here

anything else i need to worry about before i order it?
[HD2 General] skylinepigeon:
i dont think it'll work on saudi 3g, Tmobile uses 1700/2100, not 900. you need both bands to work
[HD2 General] THE GRIZZ:
are you sure about the two bands thing

i had a t-mobile HTC G1 and 3G worked fine
[HD2 General] skylinepigeon:
that's odd, because phones that only share the 2100 band do not work on Tmobile. Perhaps its different the other way around.
[HD2 General] THE GRIZZ:
the 3g of the g1 (1700/2100) and the Nexus1 (900/1700/2100) both work on our STC/mobily network. i assume the US-HD2 will be the same but i could be wrong cant anybody else confirm. i cant possibly be the only here intrested taking advantage of the US super cheap price
[HD2 General] alefsin:
Well, you are not alone but I don't think anybody can confirm one way or another with 100% accuracy. I for one will buy it and then try to use it in Europe (i.e. 2100 MHz UMTS). Like you I've noticed that G1 has exactly the same specs for the radio. It also makes sense that HTC and T-mobile would like to support international roaming. All being said, there is always a chance that things are different this time. I tried to contact both HTC and T-mobile and I received contradictory answers. The only way to be sure is to try it or wait for somebody to report real-world use cases :)
[HD2 General] THE GRIZZ:
anyone managed to test this yet?
[Desire General] irkan:
Guys, ..

I am really confused, .. I thought there are only two colors for the Desire, Silver and "Urban" Brown.

but check the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1226tVPqnw

The device color looks pitch black to me :confused: Is it really black or am I color blind? :confused:

P.S. I know that color-blind only effects Red, Green and Blue colors, .. right? Lol
[Desire General] gogol:
Only 2, Silver and Dark Brown.
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
There's also a black desire:

http://androidcommunity.com/a-black-htc-desire-20100321/
[Desire General] crazybones:
Just seen a "black" version at E2save. In the picture on that site, even the band around the edge of the screen looks black, giving the whole unit a rather cheap appearance.
[Desire General] irkan:
Oh 3 colors, ok, more colors give users more options, which is good i guess ... and I agree with you crazybones, .. the black one does not look special at all
[Desire General] crazybones:
Good spot. That's the same picture. I might hold off ordering until the colours in the UK distribution channels are known. Silver or brown look great, but the black is a No No!
[Desire General] jm997:
The black Desires are all preproduction units. They also have a red ring around the camera.

The final versions are Urban Brown or Silver, although Silver looks grey plasticky cheap to me. I'm going for the brown one...
[Desire General] cez10:
proper black looks the best i think, but if it wont be available im gettin the brown one
[Desire General] irkan:
Are you sure of this claim? so there are not gonna be any official black versions? because as far as I know, even the Silver ones have not officially been announced or showed by HTC
[Desire General] wankingweiner:
this is a render from a long time back when the phone was only rumored to be in existence. That is not what the Desire looks like now. Even if there is a black one it wont look anything like this.
[Desire General] Staticsoul:
And if you look at the optical trackpad. You see it doesn't have button. And Tis button is needed to take pictures so I don't think there will be a black desire. They are just engineering samples.
[Desire General] williap:
I emailed Handtec today as it looks like their going to be the cheapest about the black HTC desire and this is what they said.

With regards to this the device will be sent from HTC direct, but we are unsure on the exact colour at the moment but it looks like it may be the black anyway, any other colours will be locked to networks and therefore not available sim free,

Looks like black may only be given if buying sim free which I'm planning too anyway :)
[Desire General] irkan:
a lot of people confuse dark brown with black, ... so if i were you, i would ask them again, is it dark brown, or black? ... as most of the videos/pics of the unlocked Desire I saw contains dark brown, only one had black on it (and in the video they said its not a final device)
[Desire General] K 7:
So what about GRAPHITE colour then guys? Is Graphite = Dark Brown or what? Cause on clove & handtec it says device colour is Graphite... I am confused as 2 which colour shall I choose when ordering...

K7
[Desire General] bcmobile:
I emailled and called HTC today about (among other things) which colours would be available. The available colours depend on which country you are in and their customer service people could only go by the info on their website.

I have emailled their press people to get a definitive answer and will post a reply when they get back to me.
[Desire General] s4vva:
if you look at the video on youtube (italian review) it definitely looks grey/black. I reckon this is the graphite model as opposed to the urban brown. Handtec and clove have both updated their descriptions to say graphite now.
[Desire General] irkan:
So graphite means dark or "Urban" brown and *not* silver ?

what a miss-use of the color name :P
[Desire General] AudunXetrov:
Not really. When is the last time you saw silver graphite?
[Desire General] irkan:
definition of graphite: n.

A soft, steel-gray to black, hexagonally crystallized allotrope of carbon with a metallic luster and a greasy feel, used in lead pencils, lubricants, paints, and coatings, that is fabricated into a variety of forms such as molds, bricks, electrodes, crucibles, and rocket nozzles. Also called black lead, plumbago.

if the *pencil* color is "Brown" ... than i have serious color-blind issues

here is a pic of the "actual" graphite, does the image look like more silver/gray or more dark/urban brown to you?

and here is a pic from a tech point of view to confirm

any more doubts? :)
[Desire General] AudunXetrov:
You didn't show me anything I didn't already know ;)

Have you seen the "Urban Brown" version of the Desire? It's hardly brown, but rather more dark gray. Which is exactly why I would say that is the graphite version. When speaking of graphite, no one talks about the graphite "crystal" (which by the way, on the pic you posted, is dark gray, but due to reflections from the flash looks silvery), but rather the kind of graphite that you would find in pencils.
[Desire General] gogol:
I asked Clove.co.uk and they said that the graphite is the dark brown, the same like in their website.

So, it is not the black one.
[Desire General] AudunXetrov:
I never said it was the black one :P I meant the Urban Brown (which isn't really brown, more dark gray-ish) all along ;)
[Desire General] irkan:
lets get some facts straight here :)

graphite color is not brown, and its not dark brown, calling the "Urban Brown" Desire a graphite color is simply wrong.

Does the Desire look to you as the graphite color of the pencil? if anything, the graphite color is closer to the silver than it is to the brown.

The Desire clearly look brown-ish, ... dark brown-ish, not silver/gray by any chance

so again, calling a dark brown/black Desire a "Graphite" is wrong and miss-leading.
[Desire General] irkan:
I mean seriously, .. dude look at the picture attached, .. does it look to you as "Gray-ish" ? ... does any part of the pic looks gray-ish to you? (besides the optical track-pad and the buttons).

The Desire in the pic looks clearly brownish, dark brownish if you wish, .. but nothing like Silver/Gray/Graphite/Dark Gray.
[Desire General] Polarfuchs:
The white Background looks grayish. :P

But really, I think they speak about a anthracite version, but I haven't seen that version yet.
[Desire General] XDA mark:
I am getting my Desire in Pink.
[Desire General] s4vva:
Graphite is not brown.

there is a video on youtube with an Italian review of the GRAPHITE desire, it is clearly not brown in any way. This is the model that those who ordered from Handtec and Clove (and possibly others that state Graphite) will be receiving. If you ordered from a site stating Urban Brown, then you are getting a brown handset.

I am sure of this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ix5YiyI0lRE - not a hint of brown in sight.
[Desire General] gogol:
Come on guys, can we ask HTC about this? I meant what is their official color name for the "graphite" or "dark brown" or "urban brown" or what ...
[Desire General] Polarfuchs:
The video shows the urban brown version
[Desire General] irkan:
All i know is this, .. Graphite should not be called on the "Urban" brown Desire, if there is a "Graphite" version, than it would (SHOULD) be something else, other than the brown, .. but the brown is definitely there, the Graphite version might be a new version, if they call "Graphite" on the brown version, than its just plain stupid and missleading

check this "Brown" version, that is definitely should not be called "Graphite"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cisk6qhd-bk

now we have

Urban Brown

Silver

Black

Graphite

Black and Graphite are like mythes i guess Lol
[Desire General] K 7:
Yea I did ask them same & they said Graphite is the same one as shown on their web site...

K7
[Desire General] gogol:
If I checked that YouTube, that is the same like in the Clove.co.uk website:

http://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct.aspx?product=32C8AD9B-E300-4267-BEC1-DE55F02D0184

And this is the direct image:

And that is the graphite version according to Clove.co.uk:

First stock due 29th MARCH - place your order now! Unit colour is Graphite

And I specifically asked that to Clove for confirmation.

My take, graphite = urban brown ... at least in this HTC Desire world :)
[Desire General] irkan:
yeah I guess in HTC Desire world the Graphite = Dark Brown Lol

Oh well, HTC is Taiwanese, .. so who could blame them for miss-using a color name right :p
[Desire General] skanj:
Looks like orange will be doing an exclusive black one

[Desire General] supasye:
hi, i didnt realise this thread existed and i created a different but i will post my findings here:

looks like the standard one with black buttons:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUpAZ...eature=related

same as the one below on the right:

i havent yet seen a clear picture of the one orange is selling, seen an all black one on youtube but you cant see the detail its not very clear, and i would like to add that that prototype image design loks so much better than the real one.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Mine is this colour:

and doesn't have any colour type on the box - just says HTC Desire A8181 (or something like that)
[Desire General] Polarfuchs:
Yeah everything is the same brown color. Urban brown.

And i think there is only this brown but for netherlands the special silver version.
[Desire General] irkan:
official versions

anything that is NOT dark black or silver is "Browns/Graphite/urban brown" ... there are no other colors, .. probably some will see it as other colors because the light conditions, camera of the reviewer, ... etc

to my knowledge there are only 3 clear versions

Urban Brown/Graphite/Brown

Pitch Black (Orange)

Silver (Netherlands & Germany i guess)
[Desire General] EroThraX:
Man what lighting did they take that under, no matter what light I look at my desire under it's more purple than brown.
[HD2 General] Terence:
Can anyone email me the opera 9 folder? because i accidently delete it, and opera now cannot be open. please send me to my email address: ceg18@streamyx.com

the folder is on windows\
[Droid Eris Android Development] toastcfh:
here i have all current known radios for the Eris. these radios can be flashed via Amon_RA recovery. ive put them in update.zip format. so all u need to do is place them on the root of ur sdcard and flash like any other update.zip from recovery.

FLASH THESE AT UR OWN RISK. LIKE ANYTHING ELSE U DO TO UR PHONE. IM NOT RESPONSIBLE

INSTRUCTIONS

step one: download and put the desired radio update.zip on to the root of ur sdcard.

step two: flash the update.zip via Amon_RA recovery. by selecting update.zip from sdcard and choosing the radio zip u want.

step three once it flashes it will ask u to press a something to continue. do it and itll reboot and take a few seconds on a bootloader screen. once that finishes, it will reboot back into recovery. from there just choose reboot, to boot into android

step four go into settings>about phone>software information. under baseband is ur radio version. enyoy :D

now as for the question of which radio is better...

there is no good answer to this question. some enjoy results from different radios. an up graded radio will always do good. as it will most likely give better battery life and signal then the stock radio. all of these radios will work with any rom (1.5 - 2.1) and unless a dev has inclued a radio in their rom. the radio will always remain the same unless u flash it with another.

now for the question about why some radios say heroc instead of eris...

the heroc radio are just that... heroc radios from sprint. its a cdma radio so it works the same as verizon radio. dont believe me?! do a strings | grep on all the radios and u will see they are all using both sprint and verizon logins and such. also as right now im running the latest radio which is the heroc one. everything works fine and its the one ive had best results with on both my Sprint Hero and my wifes Verizon Eris. although others may find better results with other versions.

please feel free to post ur radio results here on this thread.

great work! have you noticed an increase in reception? or just better better life?
[Droid Eris Android Development] gohamstergo:
Will dialing *228 anytime after the patch mess it up?
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
Nope, everything should work fine, i use to use sprint radio's all the time on my winmo devices, i allways thought they worked better
[Droid Eris Android Development] gohamstergo:
its only been 10 minutes or so since i flashed the latest radio, but my 'Time without a signal %' is at zero without the Airplane Mode trick :D will keep checking, but this seems to be good news! Not that I have ANY idea if that bug could even be related to this haha, but whatever, as long as it works..

edit: well over an hour now..still 0%

edit2: started doing it again after the next reboot, airplane trick still needed

Thanks for the tutorial, and for those that browse and don't want to register an account (don't be lazy) I have the files hosted over at photex-media dot net
[Droid Eris Android Development] toastcfh:
just dont forget to give credit. i didnt get these radios in update.zip form. so i did all that work myself. also took the time to flash each of them before posting to make sure all was good and they all worked :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
Please be careful guys, I would not flash your radio without a reason to.

However thanks for the tutorial, I have another eris radio version, but I don't think it would be wise to flash it. Do you want it?
[Droid Eris Android Development] sunder74:
improved sig

have had the newest eris radio for a couple hours now and can say that the signal strength has signifigantly improved and can't confirm battery drainage at this point but the signal strength is there for sure...jcase why would it not be advisable to flash a radio update?
[Droid Eris Android Development] toastcfh:
pm me and give me the info on it. please

also there is no reason to try and scare people about these radios ive posted. they all work and it will do no harm to flash them. ive noticed better reception and battery life since flashing the latest sprint radio on both my heroc and eris. if anyone flashed the root leak they got a radio that ive posted here. its actually an older radio at that.

but yeah if u are sure u have an eris or sprint radio. then please give me the info and ill test it. :D
