i got this phone off craigslist. traded my iphone 3g and 150 bucks for it. it was in perfect shape, didnt come with anything other than the phone. the guy i bought it off was very weird. he said like 5 words throughout the whole transaction. when i first got the phone, it did not have a rom installed on it. i could go into fastboot and a weird recovery. it had Hello World floating across the page when you rebooted into recovery. i just flashed the CM recovery put CM on it and its been working fine since.
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Can you? Last I saw they were unable to relock... I didn't follow the thread super close since I personally could care less, but last I saw the person that had one and was helping out couldn't relock their bootloader.

Edit:

I am talking specifically about the holiday s-off devices, of course the regular shipping ones can't be relocked either.
[Nexus One General] mortzz:
I want that battery cover :mad:
[Nexus One General] martin0285:
Should have at east got a recovery dump so someone could look at it real quick....
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Why?

As has already been stated in this thread, it has been thoroughly looked at and is not possible.

I believe the only way to do it would be to remove the chip that stores the boot rom, and flash it using a special chip flasher, then put the chip back on to the board.

Removing/reattaching the chip may be unnecessary, but I believe the only way to do it is to use a special flashing device that probably only Google and HTC have access to at this point.
[Nexus One General] carbonfiber1:
I was new to android. didn't know much. didn't even know I had a holiday device. the guy I got it off was a developer himself. he had a desire himself. so it might have been his personal recovery.

To be new to Android, not know much - you must be a very fast learner to know how to flash Cyanogen on it :)
[Nexus One General] carbonfiber1:
lol. yeah I'm a tech guy. I have a lot of experience with computers. I code a little so I got te hang of it after 30 40 mins. since bootloader was unlocked I just flashed a recovery with fastboot downloaded CM and flashed it.

Happy with my x10 atm, but i read lots saying 2.1 is way better apps wise but i cannot find anywhere with a list of apps that are 2.1+ only, what am i missing out on?
[XPERIA X10 General] Baggyb:
Here is a link to the official Android 2x feature list

http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.0-highlights.html

The kind of features we are missing are from the OS are:

* Updated UI

* Auto Camera Flash

* Possible support for flash 10.1 (As an app and not natively)

* Live Wallpapers (Which is a Gimmick but still cool)

* SMS search

* HTML5 support

Examples of the kind of apps we are missing are

*Google earth

*Official twitter app

*Weather/News Widget

I'm sure there are a few more but i don't know off hand.

At the moment I don't think we are missing out on too much app wise. The real danger is that developers will begin to develop for 2x due to the enhanced feature set and all those on 1.5 + 1.6 will miss out.

However I did read somewhere that google were looking into a solution for that later on down the line.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elmeraculous:
Hi all,

Is it correct that the standard in the box X10 earphones do not play/pause music (can't link to images apperantly, but they can be see via this link (just put the www in front of it): mobilyz.com/wp-content/uploads/Sony-Experia-X10_Mobilyz_19.jpg)? They cán be used to pick up/hang up calls, but that's is. Interesting though that when longpressing the button on the dongle while playing back music does light op the hardwarebuttons led, so contact is being made with the phone, but nothing more happens.

Dying to get the MW-600 earphones, although I read on this forum that they have some difficulties with playing back music as well....

Cheers.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saltorio:
I use bTunes as my music player software, and it recognizes the button on the mic dongle for playing/pausing, though it's a bit finicky.

Thanx, will give it a try...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] bigstoo:
I have a Raph120 running the 1.14.25.05 radio ROM. I get both GPRS and 3G data connections under Android, so in that respect I can't complain.

However, when I move from cell to cell and/or drop from 3G to GPRS I lose data connection. It claims I still have a data connection, but no data is sent or received. I have to switch airplane mode on and off to reenable it.

Now, I have noticed a HUGE difference under WinMo when using various radio ROMs with and without their corresponding rilphone.dll. So, what's the best ROM to use with Android's RIL? Is there any difference or will it always use some kind of "legacy" mode.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] chrialex:
From my understanding, different radio ROMs do not change anything with Android, but I could be wrong.
[HD2 General] Shaamaan:
I know this is pathetic, but I cannot find the right ROM for me.

These ROMs aren't small, my download sucks, and installing each one takes time as well.

So far I've checked Energy, CleanEX series, Artemis...

I'm looking for a ROM that:

- is stable and everything on it works (my current Energy May 4th for example has some wierd issues with music playback in landscape mode, while latest May 9th doesn't have Opera 10)

- has the unlock slider in the middle or bottom (default lock screen, not the Cookie one)

- Opera 10

- Start Menu organized into folders and with more rows

- Cookie Home Tabs (this is awesome!)

I know this may not be much to go on, but I'm really lost here. If you can, please help me out. :o
[Desire General] carrige:
Well, basically as the title says. This's happened several times to me already. Say I'll turn my phone on (from standby) I'll get a popup error saying that the backup was unable to complete because no SD card was found. Next, the music application won't load the songs because those're all stored on the card. Same for Photos/Gallery. When I go to ES File Explorer, the 'sdcard' folder reports that it is empty.

There hasn't been a pattern that I discovered. This just happened now when I woke up (phone left charging overnight; Wi-Fi & Sync enabled) and I decided to come post here. Happened again yesterday afternoon when I got my phone out to play some music on the way home.

Every once in a while, I'd get lucky and the files would show up by themselves, but the only fool-proof way I've found to get the phone working properly again is a restart, which takes several minutes to do.

I am NOT running any task manager (well, I was but when this problem started up I checked another thread which recommended to remove the task manager, so I did).

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Do you know of a fix, or is it just me?
[Desire General] landwomble:
Mine's done this a couple of times, but I've put it down to the SD card not being quite pushed home properly. Worth taking it out and cleaning the contacts.
[Desire General] carrige:
Nope, that doesn't work. I re-inserted it yesterday (contacts were clean) and this morning woke up with the same problem.

Please tell me this isn't just happening to me, cause it'll be a right pain in the ass to have this repaired (sending abroad/etc).
[Desire General] b0yce:
Is the SD Card the one you got with the phone (4Gb) or another make/model size? Please include details so others can help more.

I have left the given Samsung Class 2 4Gb SD card in mine and I have never had any issues with the SD Card unmounting. This is not saying it won't happen, but for me it has been fine. I was going to upgrade to my other Sandisk 16Gb Class 2 that used to be in my Touch Pro, but will do that hopefully this evening.

So all I can guess is either a faulty card or some issue with Class/Size/Manufacturer of Card (if you changed from the Samsung one) ?
[Desire General] carrige:
It's the stock 4GB card that came pre-installed in the phone. Phone's unlocked too, bought from Clove. If it helps/is relevant: when I loaded up the camera it gave an error saying something like 'no sufficient read permissions for SD card'*, maybe that'd be a clue to the problem.

*I can't quote exactly cause I've since restarted the phone and can't remember it word for word. If/when this happens again I'll post the exact error.

EDIT: There, it just happened again. Restarted the phone not even an hour ago, it's getting ridiculous. Anyway, the error from the camera reads "Unable to save file to SD card due to insufficient file permissions".

FWIW, when I go to SD & Phone Storage settings i CAN see the total and available space on the card. It's just completely inaccessible by the programs. Have also tried the 'SDMount' widget, did absolutely nothing.
[Desire General] EroThraX:
Happens to me too but only when I've been letting go of my phone to put it down rather than placing it down, or if I have to drop it on my bed or chair quick.
[Desire General] Rutter:
Happened to me a lot too when I was using one of the lock screen info apps, to get my calendar info on the lock screen. Uninstalled and the SD card problem went away.

[Desire General] carrige:
Never used that :/

I've uninstalled all apps that seemingly access the SD card and will start reinstalling one by one to see if the problem does come back. Only way I could think of.
[Desire General] georgiosm:
It is happening to me also. The last 3 days is doing it at least twice a day , i have the desire almost one month and neved had this problem earlier.

And i though it was something i did.
[Desire General] Srem:
i had the same camera permissions problem. restarted and havnt seen it again since. 4gb card that came with the unbranded device. no idea what caused it, could be any number off new apps etc :S
[Desire General] Dix0r:
I've got the same problem.

I've already tried to reformat my SDcard, but the problem still exists. Another problem when the SD card unmounts, is the CPU usage. This rises to ~10% constantly. Probably cause of this are apps which are trying to write to my SDcard.

Still no solution found, maybe I'll try another SD card in a couple of days.
[Desire General] carrige:
FWIW, I gave up on the stock card and copied all my stuff over to another 4GB card I had running around (straight copy) and it seems to be working fine now. Haven't had a problem yet, although it hasn't even been 24 hours.

Will report back if/when something comes up, and when I start re-installing the apps that I previously removed.
[Desire General] carrige:
I wrote to HTC earlier yesterday describing the same problem, and I just received this reply:

Only thing I have not yet tried is the Safe Mode. Will see if it needs to get to that.
[Desire General] kvmanohar:
i had this issue when I installed 'ebuddy'... uninstalled it and the problem is no more :)
[Desire General] th3:
It's started to occur on mine at least twice daily now, it wasn't so before about 4 days back. I've just actually restarted the device on getting such an error and apps complaining that they can't read/write to the SD card. Really after some sort of fix here.
[Desire General] georgiosm:
You're right it seems that was my problem too.

I got rid off ebuddy and all is fine now
[Desire General] bedeabc:
I've had this problem once so far, and reading the reply from HTC reminds me that I have unplugged my phone from my mac without unmounting it a few times...
[Desire General] AdamLC:
I am also having this issue and have ebuddy installed! I shall uninstall it and see if it fixes it! I really hope it does because its starting to get annoying :rolleyes:

[Desire General] Cleargrey:
Hey guys, This is my particular take on it.

I used to have this issue all the time (meaning about twice a week). I just had the issue again this morning. But that made me realise I haven't had the issue for about 10-14 days. Things that may have affected this

between about 7-14 days ago

:

1. Firstly, I use Win 7 64-bit.

2. I have my Desire set up to connect to the computer as charge only.

3. On the whole, I'm pretty sure that when I had set the phone to default to disk mode, I just used to yank it out. Now I'm pretty sure I turn it back to charge mode only before pulling it out.

4. I do have Ebuddy, but haven't noticed any correlation between using it and the SD cards having problems.

One of the big problems is that I don't know any way to be alerted when the SD card has stopped being read. I used to use XScope every day which would give an I/O alert when the SD card was having problems. Now I use Dolphin browser which doesn't give the same error immediately.

Anyone know of a method to alert us to when the SD card isn't being read? This will allow us to quickly and more accurately diagnose the problem.
[Desire General] th3:
I've never had ebuddy installed so at least in some cases, it is something other.

Update:

Whenever I connected to the PC, I always used to 'safely disconnect' and 'unmount' but the problem still occurred. I've since changed (around 4 days ago) to another 4GB SD card I had from my previous phone and have not come across the problem once.

Running all apps back as usual (never installed eBuddy).
[Desire General] jackstuard:
the same happen to me, good to know that I'm not alone..

I think that this is happening due bad contact with the sd card, probably when we shake the phone too much.
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
I'm not sure I buy this. And I mean no disrespect to jackstuard. The reason I say this is because it seems in most cases, the thing that solves it is a restart. But if the thing that causes it is a disconnection of contacts, then a restart shouldn't correct this. the only way I see that happening is that the lack of hot swappable SD cards is literally baked in (or rather the feature completely absent) because it's physically not possible to take out the sim card without turning off the phone.

In fact, I just tried to test it. I took off the back cover making sure the phone is still on to try to get access to the SD card. On my phone at least, the SD card cannot be wiggled out past the battery without serious force, and it can't be raised off the contacts.

I really believe this is a software issue/bug. I hope it is too. That means it's easier to fix!
[Desire General] andersh:
I've seen this exact problem as well. The SD card was unmounted once or twice a day, and it required a reboot to get it back.

This was on a rooted phone running the ROM provided by Paul in his first root method.

It happened with both the delivered 4GB SD card and newer 16GB card.

I do not have ebuddy installed.

After upgrading to the Pays-ROM (2 days ago) the problem seems to have disappeared.
[Desire General] huleboeren:
Yeah I removed ebuddy but it still occurs

Annoying as hell :(
[Desire General] biemsy:
I've had this for ages too, with the 4GB card that came with the phone. I don't use ebuddy - in fact I've never heard of it.

It can happen several times a day, or it can go a week without happening. It doesn't seem to correlate to anything really, and not with mass storage mode when connected to a PC. The message about failed backups is usually the first symptom.

I've reformatted it, which has made no difference.

I'm starting to suspect it's a hardware fault, as I usually have to eject and reinsert the card for it to register again. Just powering the phone off and on again doesn't do it, it seems to require the mechanical action.
[Desire General] huleboeren:
Weird, I usually just reboot and its fine :S

BUT, when I shut down the phone - it starts beeping a few times..

Then when I turn it on it does the same beeping until "SD card being prepared" or whatever it says in the notification bar..

I did not get these boot beeps when I first got the phone :S
[Desire General] biemsy:
I've never had any beeping at all, other than the the "quietly" brilliant startup sound.

I got the backup failed message last night, but didn't do anything. This morning the phone is reading the card.
[Desire General] wendy75:
Maybe you should try to download SD Mount from Android market which unmounts/mounts the SD card without you having to take the phone apart each time.

I had a problem once with the SD card unmounting for an unknown reason. Since I have installed SD mount, my card has never unmounted. Howver, I would like to add, just because it solved my problem, it may not solve your problem as your the cause of your problem may be different from mine.
[Desire General] AdamLC:
Well since removing eBuddy it seems fine! Been on for about 3 days without any problems :)
[Desire General] Nightstalker79:
Your suggestion was solid, but I couldn't find the app on market place untill I wrote SDMount in the search without the space. Works like a charm, thanks.
[Desire General] vilbs:
Problem for me too :( No eBuddy installed and using standard 4gb that came with the phone (from MobilePhonesDirect in UK).

When I first received the phone I would get the write permissions problem meaning I couldnt save to the card. This would be solved by restarting the phone. Then it went away for a couple of weeks.

This morning the phone is basically saying there card is unreadable and do I want to format it!? I have restarted the phone. No change. Taken out and reinserted the card. No change. And I have tried all the unmount/remount card apps I can find on the market and nothing :(
[Desire General] biemsy:
Thanks, couldn't find it with the space.

However, it doesn't work for me.

Got a can't backup notice, checked and I couldn't browse the card. Tapped the widget, which claimed to have remounted and re-read the card. Still no joy with the card. Had to reboot phone.
[Desire General] stumped1:
Glad I'm not the only one having this problem, it's so annoying.

Never had ebuddy on my phone either.

Formatted the card earlier in the week, worked for a day and then same problem.

Installed SDmount now and will see if that saves me having to reboot but really needs a fix because the whole handiness of having a camera on the phone is completely gone. Takes over a minute to reboot so no chance of a spontaneous picture.
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
Does this happen to people when they buy a new card?

HTC have offered to replace my memory card but I'm not sure I can be bothered for 2 reasons:

1. If I have to send of my card before I get another one, it will be difficult and annoying to use the phone.

2. I will need to buy a bigger card anyway.

But I'd like to know if people have the problem with new cards before getting one.
[Desire General] vilbs:
My card is totally corrupt as a result of whatever is going on with the Desire :( Cant read it via computer or via a Windows Mobile phone. There is something very dodgy going on with either the Desire or the batch of cards :(
[Desire General] awestenb:
Any update on a fix for this?

It's kind of ridiculous. You buy a brand-new, high-end phone and have not just one but several serious problems:

- Have to reboot phone to get mobile data to work after leaving wifi area

- Homescreen weather widget doesn't update

- And now it's eating SD cards, just ruined the 4GB that came with it.

FFS, HTC!
[Desire General] cbravo:
Before few days, my Desire seems to ruin SD card too, but after restarting the phone, everything went OK, phone read content of SD card without any problems!

Anyway, i have same problem with SD card, don't have that eBuddy app and always unmounted Desire prom my PC before disconnecting!
[Desire General] waslijn:
This night my original 4GB microsd card was also destroyed :(. Phone asked to format the card, also Windows wants to format it. But even formatting is not possible anymore, the card is only recognised as a card with a 31MB Raw partition. So now I lost all my data...

It's a very annoying problem, because i'm not sure if only the card was/is the problem. I bought a new one and will swap my original card with HTC. Hope problems will be over with a new card, otherwise I will try to get a new phone form HTC.
[Desire General] AndroHero:
sounds like a partition problem, use recovery to re partition it:

swap: 0

ext 2: 0

rest fat32

that should give you all your space back :D
[Desire General] waslijn:
Can you give me a little bit more info, what do you mean by "recovery".
[Desire General] AndroHero:
is your phone not rooted? if you havent partitioned the sd card with a ext2 partition yourself then it prob wouldnt be that, try a program like paragon hard disk manager to format your sd card maybe that will work
[Desire General] jonnywright:
I have same problem here...:(
[Desire General] huleboeren:
It still happens to me

I want to deliver the phone to the retailer but ive already dropped it so much it has scratches and they will use that as an excuse not to look at it :-(

But it cant be the reason as it happened way before I ever dropped it.

Perhaps it has to do with the phone getting too hot or sonething?

After spending a few weeks testing, I can say the Sandisk HCSD 8GB card I bought from Scan has had absolutely no problems whatsoever.

HTH
[Desire General] Bouncer5:
I had this problem, in the end it was the memory card which has now died, which I have demanded HTC replace as they said they were aware of a bad batch of MicroSD's, Not that I actually care since I have 16GB microSD, But it is the principle!
[Desire General] djoni1980:
I have rooted Desire and 16 GB card, while I keep original 4 GB card "in safety" as a goldcard.

I had this "issue" two times in last few days, I solved it by rebooting.

It happened for the third time today, and this time Desire didn't recognize card after rebooting, I couldn't use it or access it from pc as disk drive.

I inserted goldcard in Desire and it worked fine.

Then I inserted 16 gig card into my old phone (nokia n82) and it worked perfectly. So there is nothing wrong with my SD card either.

Then I backed up all data from sd card on PC, formatted it and returned it into Desire, and it worked. After that I copied all content back to SD card.

Now I'm waiting to see will it happen again.

I wonder is it a ROM issue? :confused:
[Desire General] panosx:
Same thing happened on the Evo 4g and HTC released an update. Nexus One has no such issue so the hardware is probably not the problem. Has to be the tstupid Sense UI that's causing the problem. I'm just waiting for my card to crash completely...
[Desire General] Bouncer5:
As far as I was aware the HTC Desire and nexus one are almost exactly the same hardware wise apart from the obvious screen mic and track ball, When I called HTC about it they were aware of a "faulty" batch of Micro SD cards apparently...
[Desire General] iflya:
Still no update on this? My Desire too is suffering form the SD card issue.

What is weirder though, i get an error message that backup cannot complete and cannot download email attachments, BUT i can still access the photos etc on the Card ... ?

A reboot fixes it for a short time but then it happens again after a short period of time. I'm wondering if it does it after i unplug the charger?

Not downloaded ebuddy which a few users noted made a difference, but that should not cause the phone not to recognise an SD card.

After reading about card failures i've just backed the card onto the PC just in case.

As for the dodgy batch of cards, i suppose it is up to the phone users to kick up a stink about getting replacements...
