Hi,

I came across problem with caller id photo quality is poor. It is blurry because stretched up.

This happen when you sync with Google Contact, because your original high-res caller id photo is replaced with Google Contact 96x96 size.

Is this still happening with Desire?

[Desire General] gogol:
Noone is using Google contacts with photo having this issue?
[Desire General] zonkkk:
I am having this problem. I think it only happens when you use the camera to take a photo when editing contacts. If you choose a photo instead of opening the camera to take a new photo, you will have the option to crop the photo and the resolution seems much better. I just tried it last night and it seems to work.

Later edit:

When you link it to the Google account, it scales it down to a very bad resolution.
[Desire General] cez10:
it also happens when you link your contacts with facebook accounts :(
[Desire General] rahulforlove:
Ugh, this is not good. I just went over to the google forums, and see that this issue has been open for a long, long time.

Has anyone found any workarounds, especially for using the FB sync problem with Caller Id Photos?
[Desire General] zaphyr:
I also have this problem, only on a Hero. The problem occurred when I flashed a 2.1 ROM on it. Sometimes the photos are blurry, and sometimes they disappear completely, replaced by the generic photo.

It seems to change when I connect/disconnect from wifi, but not every time.

Just thought I'd add the info, even though it's not on a Desire.

upgrade process stopped on 50% .

after that I was unable to upgrade my phone by any ROM because it shows "error 244"

How can i install any ROM on my phone. please help me on this problem.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] coder12:
So here's the deal... I'm really sick of taking my headphone adaptor with me everywhere, and I really love my modded iPhone headphones (I removed the standard earbuds and soldered my very nice Sony earbuds to them).

What I want to do (or should I say, what I'm going to do?) is open up my touch pro and find a nice spot to throw in a 3.5 mm headset port. Unfortunately I can't start today (I left my small screwdriver set at school) and I am wondering if there are any internal shots of the device.

Also, should I make a step by step guide on how to do this so others can attempt?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] VibrantRedGT:
That would be pretty nuts. Where will you put it? Ideal would be right on top next to the speaker. Post pictures.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] djteotancolis:
the place would be near the charing port....
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] propofokgov:
I believe there are shots of the insides of a touch pro in the maintenence documents. I don't remember what their called specifically, but I know I saw them listed on either engadget or fuze mobility at one point in time. I have a copy actually, I just don't know where at on my comp :?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] coder12:
So here's the good news:

I've successfully found the documents on dissassembly of the Touch Pro and Disassembled the device.

I've also found a prime location for the headphone adaptor location, in the top right corner of the back side there is a nice spot, which with some small modifications should be able to seat the needed adaptor.

I know what to wire to which ports thanks to THIS thread.

This hack should work for the TV out reg hack if I assume correctly.

And here's the bad news:

My headphone bottom adaptor has had a wire break on the left headphone, but it should be an easy / cheap fix.

The locations where I need to solder are very small! :eek:

I'm not quite sure which ports on the inside are the corresponding ports on the other side, but I could probably figure that out with a volt-o-meter and some time. :)

So now it's a matter of me finding the bravery and time to do this :cool:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] djteotancolis:
Good luck dude...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] somerandomname:

Oh, beautiful! :)

Let us stay up to date, mate.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] coder12:
Status report? :)

So today I went and looked at some better soldering tools and solder itself, it should work pretty well with my strategy to attempt this maneuver :)

Within 1-2 weeks this should be do-able!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Maggot #7:
That's good. :)

Maybe you could consider makeing photos while opening the phone? Especially of what exactly you are soldering?

That would be really nice, I'm really interested in this project.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mare123:
If you can make this and it will work and if it won't destroy the beautiful design of the Touch Pro you would be a genious ;)

It would be very nice too if you could make a step-by-step guide....

EDIT: Good Luck ;-)

Doing this today

I am about to do this very thing today and ran across this thread while trying to find the pinout schematics on the usb/charge port. I will try to take and post some pics of it as i go through the process.

If you are looking at the bottom of the phone, with the face turned up, there is room for the audio port just to the left of the usb jack, i plan to drill the hole right where the little usb symbol is at on mine. (vzw 6850).

Love this phone, the only irritation i have is the lack of an onboard audio port. I use mine as a net radio in the truck quite commonly, and I feel that the added weight of the dongle being on that USB port all the time will eventually damage the port,

More to come....

[Desire General] paddyde:
Hi,

I plan on using my desire in the car and playing music through my car stereo's aux input. But I dont really want to be picking up the phone to skip forward and back through tracks. The headset that ships with the phone has great inline controls that work with spotify. So I was wondering if anyone knows of a company that makes a cable that has a 3.5mm jack at both ends (i.e. one end into the phone, the other into the car stereo) but also has inline controls. I could then find a way of mounting the inline control somewhere on the dash.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Paddy
[Desire General] avengerpenguin:
I have done this in the past by cutting the headphone ends off a cable and then soldering this to a 3.5mm jack plug available from electronics shops etc, not too much of a job to do, but will prob mean you have to find another htc headset with the controls if you want to keep your original headset
[Desire General] Zappza:
Haven't seen this no, but it should be easy to fix.

Either just solder the cable yourself, or just buy a 3,5 to 3,5 cable and insert it. Should solve your issues. Just ordered the Griffin SmartTalk which has inline controls and a 3,5mm jack output myself, it had good reviews for the iPhone and should work well with the my Desire aswell.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProFragger:
Hi Guys,

So I finally decided to update my Xperia radio for better reception and hopefully to see if it magically fixes the Screen of or Stand by of Death issues, associated with many of the Xperia custom ROMs, however, I have run into a critical problem here:

The instructions tell you to copy the Rom Update Utility and the .nbh file to a new folder. Then sync your phone with WMDC and run the Update Utility from the computer and follow the on-screen directions.

This is what happens for me:

When I sync and connect my Xperia and launch the Rom Update Utility, the on-screen directions keep referring to the update as ROM and not as a RADIO. It tells me the changes that will happen in the "image" and etc. When I finally decide update the radio from my computer, my phone goes into the tri color HardSPL mode, and the USB connection from my computer breaks. The phone gives the option to update the rom by hitting the power button, while the on-screen process errors out and breaks, because of a "connection error." This royally screws my phone, cause then I HAVE to reflash my phone to get it back to the working state.

I am sure someone has seen this issue before, I tried search, but not much luck... can anyone help please? I would really appreciate it!

In case it matters, the Radio version I am trying to update from is like 1.06 to the 1.6?

Thanks for any help in advance, everyone!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProFragger:
Really guys? No help from anyone?

Thanks for any help in advance!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stihl:
I used these steps and it works 100% every time. Flashed several radio roms.

-Download the radio rom.

-Charge your phone to 100%.

-Make sure your xperia is hard-spl. (atleast I think this is needed, best to do so anyway)

-Copy the rom file (usually called 'ruu_signed.nbh') to your storage card.

-rename the rom file to 'Kovsimg.nbh'.

-Turn off your xperia.

-Turn it back on into boot-loader mode. You can do so by holding down the 'volume down' button and the power button simultaneously.

-Follow the onscreen instructions.

-When it's done updating the radio take out the battery and turn your xperia back on. No need for a hard-reset or anything.

This should be a failsafe guide.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draken Korin:
@stihl: very detailed :)

in short: flashing radios is like flashing roms, it just finishes faster due to file size
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djd10:
I have only flashed a "custom rom" once, which was to unlock or "debrand" my Xperia, so I am new to flashing radios. My only problem is that once the ".nbh" file ALONE is on my storage card, and the "tri-coloured screen" has been loader, an error message of "no image file" is shown on the screen just before the "tri-coloured screen" is shown again with "serial" at the bottom. I'm sure there's a simply solution, but I am not sure what it is, and can do with a little help. Thanks
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djd10:
Found a sync solution and followed that method now, so it's aight, but thanks to anyone who WOULD OF helped.

Not sure if anyone else has this but after wiping and re-flashing my phone to correct a market issue it still exists.

Basically I only have 2 tabs in the market.

Just in

Top free

I seem to have lost my 'top paid' tab.

I KNOW it existed before but it seems to have dissappeared after ungrading my ROM.

It also makes my Market run PAINFULLY slow, it takes ages to conduct a search and when I select something to download it takes ages to bring up the 'permissons' screen.

Once it has brought that up and I select download it downloads in milliseconds, yet it does this for EVERY item I select.

I had this issue about 3 weeks ago for a week or so but when I nandroid restored it fixed itself.

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Spitfire128:
Update:

We can use regular builds again, no need for specific kernels. It's been solved, let's hope it stays that way now.

Thanks a lot to especially mweirauch (donate) for doing most of the work, but also all the others who have tested/worked on this and provided input.

________________________________________________

Did everything right but can't get Android to boot?

Well, for those using a newer Topa100 device (model number can be seen below the battery), Android builds just won't boot with regular 'recent' zImages. (By that I mean any regular zImage that would be considered usable.) The phone usually just does a soft reset after the "Booting Linux" progress bar from haret.exe.

This problem is related to 'a change in the memory' type used on the newer Topa100 units (dualdie vs. monodie). More on this can be read from page 10 on.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] lyazide:
Can you try with the following startup.txt file :
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Spitfire128:
I wasn't sure if you meant to try it with a recent Android build like XDAndroid or the zImage from June, so I tried both. And sadly, it didn't work with either.. Just a soft reset for regular XDAndroid. When used with XDAndroid and the older zImage, again some ignored unknown boot options (clock-7x00.all=500, lcd.density=240, pmem.extra=1) and freezing on "handover : boot" for XDAndroid.

Thanks a lot anyway, though.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] f16poom@hotmail.com:
Hey Spitfire, is it because that we have the same Topaz model? I believe we both have the Topa100, right? (since I scanned through your previous replies in shadowline's thread)

Could that be the cause? Idk about this.... but mine's assembled in Taiwan, what's yours???
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Spitfire128:
I believe a lot of people have the Topa100 and it's working just fine for them. I would still think this somehow is a hardware-related issue though.

When did you get yours? I got mine in march.. It was pretty much the last one in stock, and it seems they can't be bought directly anymore (I had to wait for a month for delivery because of that >_>). It says made in Taiwan, yeah.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Spitfire128:
You (person from the now deleted post that was above this one before o.ò) mean you got yours in March?

There were a few others, two I think, reporting this problem back at the end of March. Considering they'd probably not report it too long after they got the device, it's not unlikely that there's something different about the last batches of Topa100's that causes this, is it?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] f16poom@hotmail.com:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Spitfire128:
Seems improbable but could this somehow be related? I remember reading somewhere that...some kind of log stopped at some line that included the numbers 800 and 480 (..or something), which would be screen-related.

By the way, it'd be nice if those having this problem could confirm if their device is a Topa100. It should say so below the battery. Oh, and when you got it as well, although around March seems a safe guess in general so far, looking at the join dates.
