A step forward??

Hey XBRAV,

Nice to see you on here too. So, I got the 1.86.631.1 Rogers Dream Update and obviously the update process failed saying that it was an older version. However, the phone remains in RUU USB mode until you close the HTC updater, and this is where things got interesting.

You can still interact with the phone through fastboot at this point, and sending commands like fastboot flash recovery/hboot/etc is not met with the usual "remote: not allow" but rather fails an INFOsignature test. I tried flashing a custom recovery and all available G1/Dream SPLs but with no luck, citing the same error every time. My question, then, is how do we determine what signature it wants and can we sign SPLs ourselves? Thank you for your thoughts and suggestions.

EDIT

Oops, I see now that this has been discussed on a number of threads as it is the fastboot oem rebootRUU function. It's a shame that a lot of the functionality is reduced even in this mode. Looks like it's back to waiting for another softmod solution or going the JTAG route.

As for XBRAV's question, I think a newer radio with an older ROM would still work fine. Many update their radios as newer ones become available, and this can be done safely through fastboot as lbcoder discovered. However, I think the only problem would arise when going from the EBI1 3x series radios to the EBI0 2x ones while having a rom that is not properly ported for that specific radio. I imagine this would not be the case if you're changing between newer and older Rogers roms as they have only ever been EBI1. I hope that makes sense. Anyone may feel free to correct me as I'm still quite new to all this.

Cheers.

Okay so just a thought ... not sure if this has been done before as I've searched these forums and couldn't really find an answer. I was wondering if there was a way to save my voice mails to my phone? As for some reason whenever I call my voice mail box none of my "saved" voice mails from VVM are saved on there? So I was wondering if there was a way to export the VVM voice files onto an SD card?

[HD2 General] lemonspeakers:
So I am using opera 9.7.

1) If I go to settings >> Advanced>> and slide the cache size up to 10000KB, what are the benefits? The negatives? What is the best cache size I should leave it at?

2) After opera load the entire page, it doesn't remember it. I mean, if I scroll down a long page (ie. engadget) and back up quickly, it tends to give me blank white areas that eventually show what was there before. But this happen only if I scroll very fast up and down. Is there any way for opera to keep what it loaded without disappearing no matter how fast I was scrolling?
[HD2 General] lemonspeakers:
24 hr re-bump.
[HD2 General] Sean3:
Lemonspeakers:

Can't speak to the cache, but as far as the blank white that you see on scrolling, I found that changing some of opera's buffer settings solved that for me. I open the registry to HKLM\Software\Opera\Info and change "Browser Buffer Height" dword to 3072 and Browser Buffer Width dword to 2048 and softreset. It's essentially just doubling their default decimal values. To be clear, this is for 9.7. Let me know if it works.

EDIT: Sorry Lemospeakers, I tested the tweak on the Engadget site and still got some blank white, albiet it disappeared almost instantly as I was going along, it was still there and you're looking to get rid of it in its entirety.
[HD2 General] lemonspeakers:
Yes, I just tried it an I don't notice a difference.

Can anyone help out? My question is on the first post.
[HD2 General] lude219:
Imagine it as a swimming pool. The bigger your pool, the more people you can have in there at once. With a smaller pool, sometimes you have to ask a few people in there to leave so others can come in.

Similarly with the cache size, the bigger the cache (say, 10mb in this case with 9.7), the more website contents will be save, allowing the page to render quicker the next time you visit. I'd say just leave it at 10mb, so the same content doesn't have to be re-downloaded and saved as often.

Your second question is referring to what is called the "checkerboard" effect. Personally, I think that's generally the CPU/GPU's part to render the page as quickly as possible. Pretty much every smartphones imaginable go through that "problem" when you scroll up and down too fast. I can't tell you for sure why a 1Ghz processor with 576mb of RAM produce checkerboards (im not a programmer)...maybe this is the missing link between laptop/desktops and mobile computing.
[HD2 General] lemonspeakers:
Humm.. I'lll look into how to remove the checkerboard effect. In the mean time anyone know how?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
If you are looking for a performance boost involving the cache, i can recommend using a ramdisk and put the opera cache on there.

I use an 8.5 meg opera cache on a 30 meg ramdisk, (hidden, because it messes with the documents tab if you have it showing) and my opera, internet explorer, and system temp are also set to use that.

Opera really flies along, and the system happily uses it for its TempPath, and best of all, being a ramdisk, it gets cleared by a soft reset.

Plus it helps utilise some of that fat ram we have sitting there doing nothing on a 576 enabled rom.
[HD2 General] lemonspeakers:
do you mind telling me how you've hidden it? steps?

do you know how to fix the checkerboard effect?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Sure. I use a cab file to set up the ramdisk, and in the reg key

HKLM/System/StorageManager/Profiles/RamDisk there is a Dword called MountHidden with a value 0. (if it exists at all). Set/change that to 1, and you can no longer see the ramdisk in any filemanager, but the system can still use it for its cache and what not.

Sorry i dont know what the chessboard effect is. I'm Opera 9.7, is it 10 specific?
[HD2 General] fracmo2000:
Yes, i would also like to know this

The white/grey boxes that appear when you scroll through webpages...then the browsers catches up with itself and renders the page correctly
[HD2 General] myth1001:
Check this thread out.

There are alot of handy tricks in there. It solved the checkerboard problem for me. :D
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Ahh ok, i sort of know what you mean. SOmetimes when i scroll it leaves half teh screen showing what was there a second before, so for instance a list of numbers 1 - 6 might become

1

2

3

4 3

__4

__5

__6

a quick movement always cures it, so im not that fussed by it in truth. No white / grey boxes though.

I have no issues at all with the browsing on 9.7. (Well, flash might be nice, but im not that heavy a flash site user.)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] LlamaLord:
Ok i am looking for a rom that can do a few things really good...if anyone can help me that would be great!!

So far i have tried these roms

Cell Rom Evo pro and the Pro (the roms Sucked with texting and very buggy)

RRE rom (useing this now its great but texting is still not working great...)

so what i need to work right in a rom is

1. Texting

2. Email

3. Phone

4. web browsing

that is it the 4 basic things.

what rom is good for these???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] msn.debord:
Try Firestorm by Agent 47 it is my personal favorite atm.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] asiancuta:
if it was Sense 2.5 than it's HTC's newer txting...heard it's laggy and buggy.

go with Cell Pro v10.1...Sense 2.1. i've had it for over a week now and it's great. and i'm a heavy texter,emailer, and xda web broswer lol.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] LlamaLord:
Yeah i know its the new Sense 2.5 it sucks! I will keep looking to find a rom that is good. I was just hoping to get some feedback from other ones.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Demonic240:
Most Sense 2.5 chefs will use arkswitch instead of htc messaging. It's faster, but not as "pretty" as the default for 2.1.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] LlamaLord:
Yeah i am useing ENERGYROM now and i have to say GREAT ROM!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] aceo07:
Is there an app that can monitor the proximity sensor based on a user defined list of apps and turn off the screen?

For example; the US T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app is nice to have, BUT when you place the phone to your ear (to listen to the voicemail) it may tap the close icon or activate something. It definitely needs the auto screen off feature.

Add in the ability to also use the g-sensor and when the phone is upside down (or sideways) and the proximity sensor (or light sensor) is triggered, put the phone to sleep. This would be triggered when the phone is about to be placed into my pocket.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ent_doctor:
I agree. I find that if I put the HD2 up to my ear to hear a Visual Voicemail message, I invariably hit the screen with some part of my ear which stops playback and often initiates deleting the recording. Surely there is a way to activate the proximity sensor while running this app?

First I'd like to say that the community and the developers here are bar-none, top notch. Keep up the great work.

That being said, I'm coming over from the G1 camp and have loved my faithful for the past year but, times they are a changing. Shipment of my Nexus One is due to me tomorrow and I want to know what things I should look out for as far as build quality goes before I root the phone.

Dust under the screen. How does this happen? Does this still happen? What causes it? Ways I can avoid it?

Battery life. Having a long daily commute to and from work, this will be my handheld piece of sanity. What is with the whole F, non-F thing about? Other things I should do/look for?

Screen discoloration?

Anything else that you can think of? Will I ever get used to not having a physical keyboard? MUST HAVE apps? Settings I should modify?

I thank you all for any insight that you provide, and the friendliness of this community. Ohh, and do you know anybody that wants to buy a 1 year old G1? :D

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxvelocityxx:
Hi, I'm totally stoked on what is causing this problem.

Brought a new XPERIA X1, and installed Valkyrie's Rom on it. Whenever i make or receive a call and use the normal earpiece for it, it can vary from 10-40 seconds, the voice just cuts off and i hear buzzing sound, then its all blank, i cant hear or say anything so they other person can't me, or i can't hear them, although the call doesn't hang up. When i do hang up one of these either happens.

-None of the sounds now work eg music player, make another call, system notifications, they are all blank

-Or none of the sounds work, but when i make a call, there is a continous buzzing sound

I thought it would be the vibration tool near the earpiece so i just went settings and activated for it abit so it vibrated for like 2 seconds, and then i could make a call for another 10-40 seconds, before the same issue occured.

I tried redoing the vibration thing again but it didnt work , there is sitll the continous buzzing sound or nothing at all.

I do not know if this is hardware related or just my audio drivers..

PS: My loudspeaker works fine, i can play sounds continously
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] republicano:
well did this happen before Valkyrie's Rom?

hard reset ?

use another rom if problem continues
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxvelocityxx:
Yeah, it happened before, NRG rom so i thought it was that, so i changed roms and still same problem. Sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't i managed to get 2 minute into a phone call in recently before i hung up so i dont know if its constant or varies

Update: The facebook support page has been removed, apparently it was not official after all :) anyways we got some useful info from it

HTC support page in Facebook

Update: will try to quote the most important/relavent issues mentioned in the support page so anyone can come and see what HTC has replied on them :)

funnily enough, some other guy raised the issue of pink AMOLED, HTC had a different response to it.

this is regarding the delay

on another note, i sent to HTC official support, asking them wither this "Facebook support page" is officially from them or not" and here is what i got

NOTE: there hasnt been a prove yet that this "support page" is officially from HTC, as it is still new, however i cant see why would someone pretend to be "HTC Support" and answer the people's inquires on hourly bases. just to stay on the safe side, avoid sharing sensitive info to that page, like S/N or something.

I can see that its your first post, .. if you navigate through the forum a little you will find some of the issue some people are having, its good to tell them that you dont have any issues :)

btw, can you post the Firmware version, and software info here? thanx!
[Desire General] irkan:
they wouldnt say, i asked them... I doubt that this will be fixed as i read it is hardware related, even if there is a software fix for it, i doubt HTC would go there, .. because they dont have to, but lets hope for the best:)
[Desire General] niklz:
I've also read it's hardware related, however I can't see why it couldn't be fixed with software.

I'm no programmer, but just running a slightly different piece of code that keeps better track of the physical change on the device (i.e. the change of capacitance) when fingers are brought close together.

Or at least a correction code, that spots when this happens (again easilly done if it makes a comparison between the physical feedback), and just resets the positions.

I don't think its a major issue though.
[Desire General] irkan:
IMO its not a big issue anyways, like you said. dont think anything major is crippled because of this issue
[Desire General] irkan:
its a nice service HTC provided, ... the facebook support page that is

Heh :P - Yes, an unoffical page would be good but this person was impersonating HTC and claiming it was official, this would lead to mistrust, people may pass on information, or may send their phones to that person (yes its stupid, but people fall to phisihing and "you've one £1 million" scams, what makes them not fall for this when it is becoming mainstream to move onto social networking)

Having an unofficial support channel, for example these forums, is good.
[Desire General] Kinclad:
There was a guy (Joshua Williams) who posted a lot of info on the HTC Desire page on FB around the time of the initial launch. He seemed to know a lot of info about the problem ROM and posted as if he was directly involved with HTC.

He would say things like...'we are having a meeting about this, this morning' etc etc.

Its funny his posts dried up to the HTC Desire page arround the time of the support page appearing.

I have a sneaky feeling he may be the mystery 'HTC Support' person?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Timewalker2099:
Hey all,

My 8125 has been acting odd lately. I plan on upgrading either to a new one or an 8525.

Anyway, the touchscreen comes and goes. Usually it feels like it isn't all the way pushed to the left, locked in place, and with a gentle nudge it will start responding.

This time, however, nothing is bringing it back.

I'm pretty handy at navigating without it, using the buttons.

However, this time when it stopped responding, I was connected via wifi. Now, no matter what I do, I can't turn off the WLAN radio. I can't get the buttons in the comm manager to highlight with the directional buttons like I can on the home page. I even went so far as to go into the connection menu and remove the settings for the access point I was connected to. It just keep searching for access points and prompting me to connect.

I even connected via activesync to see if it would disable it. As soon as I disconnected from the PC, it started up again.

So, is there any way to disable the WLAN without the touchscreen.

Any way to activate Flight Mode w/o the touch screen? Because I know how to reactivate the phone from the buttons.

Thanks,

-Joe

I'm not allowed to post links yet, so I'll tell you where you can search for my recommendations.

You can use My Mobiler when connected by ActiveSync to remotely control your PPC from Windows. Just use the mouse instead of your stylus.

Search Google for "MyMobiler".

You may want to consider FakeCursor 1.07 for your device on a regular basis. It will allow your DPad and center button to become a mouse and mouse button.

Open up Google and search "FakeCursor 1.07 Pocket PC".

Hope this is helpful.
[Nexus One Accessories] VivendaLab:
Hi, on my car I have a pionner CD-BTB200 Bluetooth Adapter and I also had problems with the contacts. What I did was, create a vcard ( I think i did this vcard with microsoft outlook) with my top contacts, then I installed 2 programs in the nexus, the Astro file manager and the Bluetooth file manager.

Then with the astro I searched for my vcard and I send it to my car radio by bluetooth ( I had to put on the transfer mode on the radio first).

Now if someone calls me and if that person is on that list the name will apear on the radio, if not only the number.

Hope that can help you and sorry for my bad english.

[Nexus One Accessories] metical:
It's great to see that you got everything working properly. I have a Pionner headunit that's not too old, DEH-P710BT (last year's model) but I can't seem to get the a2dp audio working. It'll try to connect the audio and then fail. Phone works though. I figure it'd be pretty similar to your deck in terms of the bluetooth hardware and software that Pioneer uses. If you ever happen to go back to stock firmware on your N1, it'd be great if you could try again and let me know. I wonder if it's just a problem with my N1 using stock firmware. Just not sure if I want to root it yet and install cyanogenmod.
[Nexus One Accessories] attn1:
I am back to stock firmware at the moment. It works fine for the most part. Getting the address book to sync took several attempts and sometimes I can't control a2dp playback properly from the head unit. Most of the time it works fine. I haven't really noticed any difference between the stock firmware and Cyanogen 5.0.5.3 that I can put my finger on with regard to interoperability of Bluetooth and this head unit.

Maybe there is a firmware update from Pioneer for your unit?
