And I don't understand their choice :(

When I make a call I take the phone at the bottom... I think it's more natural than take it from the top...

Is it to protect the brain against bad radio frequencies ? :confused:

Actually, I always take my phone at the bottom... The buttons are at the bottom, the keyboard is on the bottom of the screen... I really don't understand why I should take my phone from the top!! :o

Big ergonomic issue in my mind. But I probably can live with it...
[Desire General] Deleted member 2480269:
the phone is being let down big time by this one stupid issue. Why did HTC decide to do this. WHY WHY WHY.

This issue may not affect most people but its nice to know that your signal isnt artificially being shown as less when you know you could get a better signal.
[Desire General] Quazar0:
Its not that hard to hold it from the top, I'm already used to it.
[Desire General] Kiiv:
And do you can press all buttons and tape on the keyboard with one hand by holding it from the top ? :eek:
[HD2 General] eddsor:

[HD2 General] jamieeeee:
i should try a hard reset and if the problem still isnt gone send it back to the store you got it from. could verry well be a hardware error
[HD2 General] eddsor:
i did a hard reset an even put a new rom on it. where do i get the original german tmobile rom from for sending it back.
[HD2 General] Starfury:
Surely thats a screen fault isnt it? Send HTC the pictures and get them to tell you what to do. It should be swappable on warranty... (providing you havent dunked it)...
[Android] spamcakes:
In response to d_dan's thread I have decided to start putting together a glossary for android related terms/abbreviations. Feel free to reply with ones you would like added/modified as the list I'm beginning with is rather short. I will monitor the thread regularly and incorporate them into the original post, contributions will be duly credited.

GLOSSARY:

adb	:	Android Debug Bridge, a command-line application included in the SDK. Allows you to run certan commands on the phone from your computer over USB as well as pull/push files.

BART	:	Backup And Restore Tool, similar to Nandroid but with more customization options for advanced users.

Cook	:	To create a ROM for a certain device.

Emulator:	A program that pretends its certain hardware/software running on another device.

Flash	:	To write a ROM/Radio/SPL/etc to a device.

Nandroid:	A backup/restore tool that creates an image of your phone's software guts which can be reapplied if something goes wrong.

Radio	:	Clarification on this requested, I know it has something to do with the connectivity to your provider. WARNING: Mucking around with it can brick your phone in certain situations!

recovery:	Booted into by holding the "Home" button while booting the phone, a custom recovery image allows Nandroid backups, console access, wipes and much more.

SDK	:	Source Developer Kit, Contains tools to create things for Android, also includes adb and an android emulator.

SPL	:	Secondary Program Loader, loads the android OS. WARNING!: Mucking around with it can brick your phone in certain situations!

Terminal:	A way to run certain commands on your phone, like CMD on a windows platform.
[Android] d_dan:
Much appreciated.

Thanks
[Android] bmfc187:
Correct me if im wrong, the radio is the Baseband Firmware, and serves as the IPL, or Initial Program Loader, which initiates the SPL, aka Secondary Program Loader...

[Android] ctso:
SDK traditionally stands for "Software Development Kit". The Android SDK provides the tools necessary to debug various android components, as well as a handful of pre-compiled libraries which are primarily used in developing applications.
[Android] ctso:
Also, the words "Cook", "Chef", "Baked", "Cooking", "Kitchen", and "ChickenWings" should be avoided.

We have SOURCE, we do not need to "cook" anything, we can build the platform the same way the carriers do.
[Android] jcarrz1:
Although ports have some heavy-ass cooking going on :)

So many htc phones would be better with sense source. (that example of sense because it's the most popular redo of android these days)

Also, a thread like this shouldn't be in "chef central" because people in here should already be chefs, amirite?

But otherwise, I love this concept.

Edit: and honestly, I'm cool with those cheesy terms :D because they were made and developed on XDA, so thats good stuff.
[Android] hammer4203:
What about terminal commands or whatever they are called?
[Android] TrimTripton:
Great idea. I've been lurking for quite some time now. Most of these terms I have been able to figure out without this glossary by continuing to read, read, read and search, search, search. The term I have not been able to figure out is odexed/deodexed. Anybody who could help me with these definitions will be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Please disregard my question. I was finally able to find a helpful post on the subject.

Is it possible to have the yellow emotions/smilies from SonyEricsson x10 and repleace the andrioid emotions inn HTC Legend?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] spinzolone:
Hi there, My P3300 doesn't synch thru the usb cable, probably a false contact. Moreover, after a Backup it stopped working. I have the backup.exe on the phone, but I can't run it as I get the msg "digital signature not available or one of the components cannot be found ...". The phone is no more usable as probably some sw is missing.

In a few words, can anyone suggest a method to get a Italian firmware, and a method to burn it in, assumed that I could only use an SD card to inject it in the phone?

P.S. I don't care on saving the data, it would be enough to have, again, a working phone.

Thanks anybody for your patience, reading.

Bye
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] flr:
Hi,

I've had synching problems before too.

I've tried everything, but the only solution was a hard reset.

This restored the (active)sync utility and everything was fine after that.

Of course all data was lost!

Have you tried a hard reset?

[HD2 General] TheGentAtXDA:
Hi there! Some ROMs already contain a link one can use on the main Sense screen as a direct link to the music player tab. How can I add that if my ROM doesn't have this?
[HD2 General] TheGentAtXDA:
BUMP um, err BUMP?
[HD2 General] rumz82:
Is there not a "Music Tab Exe" in your windows folder?
[HD2 General] TheGentAtXDA:
Yes, but how do I make a hotlink for the manily start screen out of that?
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
you copy it then paste as a link in your start menu.
[HD2 General] rumz82:
Kenkiller is right. Copy it to

windows/startmenu/programs

It should then be in your start menu. Then, go ahead to add a quick link on home page,and the music tab icon should be in the list of programs.

let us know how u get on.:D

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] microang:
Hi,

My diamond was water damaged a while ago, I let it dry out for a couple of weeks and it did not work, I bought a new diamond and tried the battery in my old one and to my amazment it started up, well to the touch diamond screen anyway, it didn't display any red writing and the sreen stayed on but went black after that. I though the radio must have been gone so put it in the bootloader and tried to flash the same radio I had before 1.17, the white screen came up and all went fine but still the same problem!

I really need the data on my internal storage and so need to at least be able to read that. I don't care about it working forever thats why I bought another one as a doner!

Could someone please tell me what happened and how to fix it! :( Why does it not get past this?

Thanks.

Also I have hard reset it, reflashed the original ROM successfully, reflashed hardspl and reflashed the Stock SPL but it still does the same!

In case it helps the bootloader says:

DIAM100 MFG 64M

SPL-1.40.OliNex

MicroP-Diam (LED) v11

PSOC-Wrong Platform(v0x0)

What does that mean?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Matsk89:
I guess the water just bricked your device,

you'd better throw it away i think :(

there's one posible solution, go to your phone's store and ask if they have some machine to acces the internal storage. (something like this has to be alive somewhere:P)

Goodluck

MK.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] microang:
I don't think it's bricked because it goes into the bootloader just fine. However there is something wrong with the firmware. Bricked normaly means it doesn't turn on at all!

Please someone help, especially the last line on the bootloader sounds worrying! :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] wpattie:
I am also having this problem, but I have not had water damage. I ran outa main memory and it froze and now I am having this problem. Some one told me it maybe caused by a bloated rom? I donno what that means. Any help would be great!

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] acinonyx:
Hi there,

two weeks ago I sent my magic to get it fixed, as the lcd was broken. They changed the lcd, vibrator and touch screen, and they updated the software (meaning a perfected spl and 1.6 official by vodafone).

Since then the GPS is not working. G maps, sygic, copilot, gps status, and others don't get signal. Sygic fails to autodetect it. GPS hardware is apparently working. I can activate it, and configuring manually in sygic I set android port at 9600 but to no avail. GPS status doesn't even load GPS values. I've waited longer than two hours sometimes.

I would like to know how I can access the GPS hardware setting, using better terminal emulator or linux console.

The problem is not the ROM, I rooted the phone and installed cyanogen ROB, and also flashed the radio. Is there something I can do?

Any ideas? Thanks in advance
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kikius:
I had the same problem, after they serviced my Magic, and today I send them the phone again, maybe they`ll fix it, or else I`ll sue them for incompetence (I live in Romania, so here things goes always wrong, I`m afraid)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dubmehard:
it's exactely what has happened to me.

after I replaced the housing, the gps died.

no way to fix the signal: the gps is on but it dosen't find any sat.

I was wondering: where the gps antenna is located? is it the same for the gsm/umts one (i.e. the plastic part in the bottom of the back)?

please keep this up, we must find a solution

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3Shirts:
No offence but if it was possible do you think Modaco's desire ROM would have gone through 21 alpha iterations trying to iron out all the bugs.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madhartigan:
Sorry, but that's just straight up hilarious. Thanks for a laugh first thing in the morning.

Seriously, if he knows the term "kitchen ROM", he knows how to search for the answer instead of requesting insta-spoon-fed.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richtor:
I recently picked up an unlocked Telus HTC Hero. I'm on Rogers.

After rooting the phone, the GPS seems to have stopped working. Specifically, I am unable to get my location via GPS satellites. I'm wondering if there might be some aspect of the rooting process that might interfere with the GPS working properly (recover, radio, rom, etc...) or if anyone else has ever experienced this issue. And of course how to fix it?

I'm working on an app that requires the GPS...so it would be nice if it worked.

Any ideas?

Currently:

- Radio: update-hero-radio-63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26-signed

- Rom: update-hero-generic-2.73.405.66-rooted-signed
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsixda:
This happened to my Hero once.... After I disabled the GPS in the settings menu, it would not retrieve any satellites when I re-enabled it. So I flashed a new radio and it came back.

Later I had the same problem on my Nexus One, and I fixed the issue by disabling both the GPS and "Use Wireless Networks" option above it, and then re-enabling both of them.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richtor:
I've tried several different things.

1 - Turned off wifi, turned off gps, turned of network location & satellites enabled...

2 - Restarted.

3 - Flashed a new rom, several in fact (HeroDroid, Modaco, HTC Generic)

4 - Flashed several radios (I can't recall which it came with)

Tempted to just sell it and grab another...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flyefta:
same problem here...:confused:

i don't get an error message but GPS doesn't work... i try a reset to factory settings but the prob insists. Its really strange that although GPS is on there is not the GPS sign on the notification bar.

Currently:

- Radio: update-hero-radio-63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26

- Rom: update-hero-generic-2.73.405.5 146733
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheReverend210:
I'm running the rooted, 2.73.405.66 generic ROM off Modaco. I find that the newer radio's with the slightly older firmware don't mix well. I'm running the radio with the FU prefix in it, and GPS works fine.

I actually found when I was messing about with custom ROMs, that the 1.5 ROMs seem to do better with older radio's.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flyefta:
SOLVED for me...

i downgrade to 63.18.55.06FU_6.35.07.08 and everything(till now)seems ok...

Thanks Reverend.

Bravo, you flashed the HBoot from HTC Magic, no help for your hero if you dont use JTAG or kiss your Hero goodbye, put it under a closet do level it :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
I'm beginning to wonder whether my GPS is busted, could it be that the receiver is so weak it fails to see even 1 satellite (according to GPS Status) when the sky is overcast? In fair weather it reports seeing 2 or 3 after a couple minutes but doesn't fix.

In fact I don't really remember when was the last time I saw it fix my location, maps report my location with an uncertainty of several hundred meters (and sometimes plain wrong), so it must be the cell network location and not the gps location.

I'm not really eager to claim warranty cause I'm sure I'd get the phone back from the repair shop RUU'd to an unrootable state. Running recent SuperD but problems already appeared when I was on another ROM (always old radio though).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
Well I tried restoring the factory ROM (cupkake, no SenseUI) but keeping the custom recovery and Eng. SPL -- all worked fine, and now the GPS does seem to fix location. It does take several minutes and precision is reported as around 50 m, but at least it appears to work. I don't really intend to stay on that ROM though, so still looking for a solution.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
OK, so now for a change I tried flashing new radio and installing the official cupcake/senseUI update from HTC (but without the perfect SPL). Not much of a change with the GPS, it seems to fix faster (less than a minute outdoors) but the precision reported by GPS Status is still pretty bad (60 meters and more).
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Just a little 'wow, this is amazing' thread but it really is! Coming from the HD2 and having had the HTC Magic I was a little wary of coming over to Android again but I'm SO glad I did. SMS input is so much better, doesn't skip all over the place and the phone just does what it should do!

Seriously a very good phone, everyone should have one!! Beats the iPhone hands down IMO

[G1 General] coolookoo:
Hello all,

I have recently upgraded from my g1 to an HD2. HD2 is a great phone but still miss android :(. Anyways, today I wanted to get my g1 to work without a sim or data plan and was about to start working on it when my g1 screen dimmed to just the blacklight with a black screen. I turned it off and tried turning it back on but it just comes up with the backlight on a black screen. It does not even get to the G1 screen. I cannot get to recovery mode or any other mode for that matter. I have searched around but not found any real solution to this problem (if there is one). I am thinking my phone is bricked but have heard possibilities using ADB. I have never used ADB before and if anyone knows if this is a possible fix to my problem that would be great. It would be nice to know if it actually could fix my problem before looking into it and learning it all while finding out it has no chance of fixing my problem. I have tried using my sim card and a different sd card so those are not causing the problems.

So the background of what I am running on my g1. Right before I got my HD2 I was using Cyanogen version 4.2.14.1 with and ext 3. I had no problems with it until now. I got my HD2 a week ago and my g1 has been on about twice in that time without a sim card just for comparing purposes to the HD2. Then just today (about 2-3 days since I last turned it on) the screen just went black and I had my problems. I cannot return my phone because it has been over a year and I dont have insurance on the phone so these are not possibilities for me unfortunately. I also don't really want to get parts from other g1's and take apart and put my g1 back together. I am just looking for something with ADB or any other possible solution to the problem (if one exists).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
