HTC wont do nothing as it is down the network i am afraid. o2 wanted me to send the phone back to them as they said it was faulty which of course i rubbish. It is soley down to the rom itself, there was a fix for other phones, someone patched the mms.apk but i could not get this to work.

I am waiting for madaco to release the new 2.2 stock rom in there kitchen so i can take off the htc messaging and put the stock android one back in to see if this is still resolved on this one. hopefully it will work otherwise i will just stick to the R6 rom i am running now as not got any problems with it and mms messages come through at full size.

Hi!

a few weeks ago I bought myself a nice 16GB sd card on e-bay. The seller had 100% positive feedback on similar items, so I thought, this must be a nice guy. However, whenever I try to copy files to the desire after 2GB or so the transfer freezes and the file system of the card gets damaged, so I have to format it. Any suggestions as to how this could be explained/fixed? Otherwise I'm asking my money back (thank you paypal!)
[Desire Accessories] Bl@ck:
i've a 16gb sandisk sdhc class 2 but never had such problems, maybe is something software related?
[Desire Accessories] A|ex:
Ok heres the deal...

There is a chance the sandisk you purchased is not real, its fake, a 2GB reprogrammed to appear as 16GB. The packaging will appear perfectly real etc, due to the nature of memory carads returning them to sellers is near impossible as they will direct you to manufacturer.

The card might be damaged, have you tried a reformat, delete partition and recreate?

have you tested this in another machine?

is there any reason why i shouldn't get the pny 16gb card from play.com? its £7 cheaper than the sandisk
[Desire Accessories] Gana1991:
It's your choice mate. I've had bad experiences with Sandisk cards in the past and only buy Kingston ones now.
[Desire Accessories] PaoloWeckl:
i had the same issue with a 16gb kingston...package and all was 16gb, but it was a very slow 8gb...thrown it away.
[Desire Accessories] 400ixl:
Its seems more and more of the 16Gb cards from ebay are fake.

Have heard more and more reports of this recently.
[Desire Accessories] acolwill:
I've had the same issue with large cards coming from eBay, so I'd decided not to be a cheapskate again and plumped for the best 16GB I could find.

Scan dot co dot uk

LN32905 - Kingston 16GB Class10

I also picked up an 8GB card for my Hero (Legendroid):

LN32725 - Transcent 8GB Class6

Haven't regretted it at all, however the price of the 16GB is a LOT.
[Desire Accessories] silent_killa:
Yeah i'd be looking to get a refund on that, sometimes the seller isn't at fault though, it could be that his/her supplier has a fake batch of cards. This is getting more and more frequent and a quick google search will show many horror stories as well as ways of checking to see if your card is actually a fake.

My advice would be to stay clear of ebay for memory and buy from a reputable distributor like play.com or mymemory.com

I purchased a sandisk 16GB ultra mobile (class4) from mymemory.com, think it was around the £45 mark at the time. Currently using around 9GB of it with no issues. Also transfers files much faster than the 4GB class2 that my desire was bundled with.
[Desire Accessories] heliod:
I am also having this kind of trouble with a Sandisk 16GB card.

The possibility that it is fake is very small for 3 reasons:

1. It works perfectly as a 16GB at my computer

2. It works perfectly as a 16GB at my camera

3. It was bought at the Sandisk master distributor here in Israel.

I tried to format it in the following way:

1. In recovery mode I partitioned the card.

2. I upgraded ext2 -> ext3 and then again ext3 -> ext4

3. took the card to the computer and formatted it FAT32.

4. copied the material from the old card to the new one.

And still, when I try to turn the Desire on with this card on it, it stays booting forever.

I am using REDUX Gingerbread rom.... is there something I am missing?

Thanks in advance,

Helio
[Desire Accessories] noobandroid:
use gparted / any partition manager to check whether you have duplicate ext partitions, it causes freeze, and make sure both fat and ext are "primary" drives and not "logical" drives
[Desire Accessories] ozneb:
When you've copied the material from the old card to the new one... did you copied all partitions with a nandroid restore (and not just fat32 partition) ?
[Desire Accessories] snoopy20:
I just bought a 16GB card on ebay for £20 delivered, class 6. He specifically said it would meet the class 6 spec so I will Paypal him if it doesn't. I'll also test it in linux by dd'ing all the way to the 16GB to ensure it works.

Will report back. :)
[Desire Accessories] ali8383:

[Desire Accessories] snoopy20:
My £20 delivered turned up. It's a Lexar (apparently) and testing shows;

write speed: 8.4mb/s

reading: 8.1mb/s

So I'm not sure, read speed should be higher!
[Desire Accessories] snoopy20:
Second time got 7.9mb/s and 15.2mb/s. I think it's legit. :)
[Desire Accessories] Playron:

[Desire Accessories] Kung Fu Spoon:
Yeah I've been stung with a knock off SD card as have two of my friends. I was 'lucky' mine was just poor quality so it had really bad read/write speeds and was able to send it back. My friends cards just didn't work and they couldn't get refunds.

The cards on eBay are cheap for a reason, pay the extra and get it from a reputable retailer is my advice.
[Desire Accessories] kl_arnet:

i got a perfectly good 16gb card from ebay,

having said that i got a 16gb ipod (apparently) turns out it was actully 2gb :(, best thing i can suggest is any memory bought from ebay is if it seems to cheap to be true then it probably is.
[Desire Accessories] bigthunderkid:
for anyone in Oz that's interested, I've been buying memory cards from an eBay seller called apusexpress - never had a problem with them and I have bought SDs, mini SDs, and microSDs over the past few years.

They do free postage to Aussie addresses - but I don't know if they ship overseas.

I recently bought a spare 16gb micro SDHC for my Desire which only cost me $26 AUD..... bargain!!!! :)

Good Afternoon Everyone.

I appologise if I am not allowed to post this here but I thought XDA-Developers would be a great place to come for this.

I am thinking of retailing a Google Android 7" Touch Screen Device.

I am still waiting for some more information and some tests to come back to me but I have got the basic specification and some pictures of the device and I was wondering if I can get some thoughts back from other members here.

I have currently setup a survey at: http://www.dhcd.co.uk/surveys/AndroidTouchDevice.aspx

If some of you could take a look and leave you thoughts that would be great.

I am currently talking with the factory because I beleieve that the Ram needs doubling, the processor needs increasing and the Storage capacity needs improving alot other than that I personally think its a great device but would love some feedback on it.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Max
[General Topics] Purple Drama Llama:
More like pentuple the RAM. Current Android phones have about 512 MB of RAM [and that's phones not tablets], and processors of 1GHZ.
[General Topics] mr_deimos:
Actually, i looked at this device at ebay yesterday while looking for an ebook reader. Looks nice but having around 384-512MB RAM would definitely help with web browsing. The CPU could be a bit faster but even as it is it should be able to handle ebooks and www well enough. A few MHz more would be nice extra for games and media but it's not that critical in my opinion.

What don't like is the proprietary connector. It would be much better if there was a standard miniUSB for recharging and copying files over to the device.

I don't have any complaints about storage memory - 4GB might not be much today but it's more than enough for your apps and SDHC card slot means almost unlimited storage space for everything else. So i'd say leave the internal memory as it is.

The overall design looks nice. I especially like the fact that it isn't a straight ipad clone. Okay, ipad may look nice but its knock-offs rarely do.

However it seems that someone didn't think the screen size trough. 800x480 screen is too narrow for this device size and leaves ugly thick black borders at the sides. having a 800x600 screen put into that thing would be really sweet ;) It would also greatly improve ebook reading experience in portrait mode (a few more words per line).

The stated price seems fair, especially if it would remain the same after upgrades (sorry, chose "High price" in survey by mistake ;) ).

From what i read, these devices run android 1.6. It would be really great if they got 2.x upgrade along with upgraded specs since more and more apps require android 2.

Anyway, for now i'm sticking with my old TC1100 tabletPC as books and pdf docs reader but if you manage to get this device upgraded it might be a nice lightweight alternative to the full-featured tabletPC.
[General Topics] max_carpenter:
Thanks for the feedback all very helpful.

I am taking what is said back to the factory and hopefully I can get the device upgraded.

Regards,

Max
[General Topics] sirphunkee:
Yeah I think if you bump up the specs as suggested above (ROM memory especially), you'll probably move some at the price you mentioned in the survey. However, I think you'll need to be sure to play up the fact that your device does have the real Android on it...there's Chinese/Taiwanese "KiRF" (knockoff) hardware out there that looks like a full featured device, but is running a home-brew Android look-alike OS, with far less features...don't want yours getting confused with those ;)
[Desire General] Powerstfu:
Hi,

I would like to know if there is something to turn off my homescreens, cos i only use 2 of em. (The main one and the right one) Thanks. (Without rooting my phone)
[Desire General] cnic:
+1 .. i just use 4
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
No there isn't.

Although, if you only use 2, you're only going to see 2 so I can't see what the problem would be anyway?
[Desire General] TheOriginalKi:
This.

I think it looks better than Sense and I only have 3 home screens enabled.. but even then I barely have any thing on them.
[Desire General] Powerstfu:
Yes that is a solution, to have LauncherPRO but i miss one thing, HTC clock (with weather). It is the only thing that is holding me from using it.
[Desire General] samac92:
yeah i had that problem, but i bought beautiful widgets which has similar clocks.
[Desire General] Powerstfu:
Samac92 - thanks for the advice, didnt know about those.
[Desire General] skinnypupp:
You'd replace Sense with a Sense imitator, and HTC's clock widget with an HTC clock widget imitator... why? To disable some empty screens?
[HD2 General] pool7979:
hi, i wld like to install simplify chinese input and ffont. tried some .not working veri gd. anyone has ant that can intro ?

i have tried zta4, sunglobe , ce star . nt working welll . anyone can help ? thanks
[HD2 General] Zentury:
I am using QQ Pinyin Input, http://mobile.qq.com/py/ which currently in beta.

If you are not keen in beta app, try this http://shouji.sogou.com/

Although HD2 is not listed in the list of supported device, it worked for me with QQ Pinyin Input. I did not try the one from sogou.com as I was looking for both Simplified and Traditional Chinese input which QQ Pinyin Input serves my need.
[HD2 General] pool7979:
Hi,

thanks for ur suggestion. May I check with u does this input disable the contact suggestion when u compose a sms ? I have tried others input before and although can type chinese, the contact suggestion function is gone. The QQ pinyin input u used includes chinese font to view alsoz ? thanks !
[HD2 General] Zentury:
Here are the screenshots of QQ Pinyin Input on my HD2.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=647307

Sorry, I don't understand what you meant by "contact suggestion". Is it "predictive input" that you are referring to ?

I believe QQ Pinyin input did put a font on my HD2 during installation.
[HD2 General] pool7979:
hi thats right . its the predictive input . previously, i have problem with zta4. after installed, when i want to sms, the function in which it will suggest names will be disabled. example, i want send to john, i just type jo then the name will appear . zta4 seems to disable that . otherwise its perfect. do u have this issue with QQ ?
[HD2 General] Zentury:
Ok, I did a bit of digging around the web to find out what "contact suggestion" is about. I think I know enough to answer your question.

HTC Messaging app which has silhouette of a person on the right-hand side, which, when touched, will bring you into the contacts list selection tab.

What I am trying to say is that the messaging app has been designed so, therefore I don't think any IME is able to modify that field into one with a pull-down list with multi-selection capability.

You should therefore look for an alternative messaging app that can support "contact suggestion list" in the recipient field instead of another IME.
[HD2 General] rider123:
pool,

I need chinese input as well. I tried CE star which worked perfectly on my HD but on the HD2 the keyboard never shows up.

I just downloaded QQ and it works fine for chinese input but it does disable the predictive contact lookup display. If you type someones name and hit enter it will find that person and add their number to the message. But it does not give a list to chose from.

If you want predictive lookuo you have to press the person icon next to the "To:" field and enter the name in the contact search field. it is a little extra work but it is effective.

There is probably a registry edit to reactivate the contact lookup in SMS. I might search for that.

If you find someting better let me know.
[HD2 General] waichai:
check this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=700311

hope will help all the problems
[HD2 General] rider123:
solved

Problem solved,

I uninstalled CE Star and noticed that when I would enter a contact name in sms or email the qwerty keyboard would stay on t9. When I switched off the t9 I would get the list of contacts dropping down matching the typed characters.

I uninstalled qq and reinstalled qq and CE star and now when I touch the to: box to enter text the keyboard automatically switches from t9 to abc and the contacts drop down aas I enter text. Now I can also use swipe to enter contact names and get the contacts to drop down.

I am happy now.
[HD2 General] pool7979:
hi, was abit laggyy in reply. sorry. anyway, uwhat i did was to install QQ to type. my phone sonehow still unable display chinese, so i then installed sunglobe.

i too get the contact lost missing error when i type sms. my workaround was to exit and enter sms again. then the list appear. but seeing then u guys seems to find a perfect solution, i might follow ur way as well ;)
[HD2 General] BumAround:
Forget about QQ Pinyin, forget about sunglobe, I used them all and wasn't impressed by them. :mad:

Instead, back up your data, hard reset, and try THIS solution made by geniuses called Joseng and dioxda2 here on xda. :D
[HD2 General] pool7979:
thanks for sharing ur info. However, I need simplify chinese and pinyin instead as my country use simplified chinese more often. Nevertheless, thanks !!!

is there no other foolproof way for hd2 ?
[HD2 General] BumAround:
Why don't you PM the senior members that I mentioned above.

They're good people, and pretty sure they'll help you out if they could.

Would you try this ROM, it's in simplified Chinese, see if you like it ? Read the instructions and every info before you flash. Flash at your own risk.

I have 2 256 Mb ext2 partitions on a 8GB SD card.

Do I have to select (data.img and system.img) or (system and data on SD partitions) as the install options?

Also, will I have access to the remaining fat32 space for music and data after that?

Thanks!

The exact options are:

Sys on SDCard Partition

Sys on EXT2 System.img

Data on SDCard Partition

Data on EXT2 Data.img

I have left out the NAND parts
[Touch CDMA Android Development] crackeyes:
Sys on SDCard Partition = the ext2 partion

Sys on EXT2 System.img = the fat32 partion (will have system.img on root of sd card)

Data on SDCard Partition = the ext2 partion

Data on EXT2 Data.img = he fat32 partion (will have data.img on root of sd card)

The options are a little backwards but once you remember it works out. Yes you will have access to the fat32 partion.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrono:
EXT2 system.img and EXT2 Data.img are in andboot/***.img not the root of the card

If I change the look of the Rosie launcher, so instead of the curved stock one it's more in the style of say Espresso, which is flat, the line/bar that denotes what screen you are on still curves, following the line of the stock Rosie launcher. Does anyone know what file needs to be changed to make it run straight when you go from screen to screen?

I know I could just make it invisible but I'd like it to be there if possible.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tristan202:
Take a look inside Rosie.apk under /res/drawable-port-mdpi. It contains the button bar.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] L0cke:
Have had a look in there but can't see a button bar. I have found the actual bar - "common_mainnav_scroller1.png" under "Rosie.apk\res\drawable-normal-mdpi" but as I say that's just the bar that moves. I need to find out what makes it move in the way it does, so that I can stop it curving and make it move horizontal.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] MacaronyMax:
That'll Be in one of the xml file won't it ? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tristan202:
It's not in Rosie.apk, I remembered wrong.

It's inside com.htc.resources.apk in /system/framework.

Same folder inside the file as I told before.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] L0cke:
In there are the Rosie .png images, but changing those won't alter the direction of the nav bar will it? As "MacaronyMax" said I think it's an XML file. I just don't know which one it is :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] ikkokusenkin:

Well what he has done can probably be applied to the Hero. BTW in the drawable you will find some precious XML files hehe :p
