I also would love to see Xvid support. Any claims that the divx/xvid format is no longer relevant are seriously misinformed. That's pretty much like someone saying "Hey, my video's encoded in VP8, that's the future(maybe), we should drop support for H.264, it's outdated because my personal collection uses something newer, and everyone knows that devices should only support the very latest codec"

All of the suggestions of upgrading to HD versions, or transcoding seem to imply that there is an original uncompressed version of every single file available to reencode. Isn't it kind of a rule amongst none n00bs that reencoding from one lossy format to another is a big no-no.

If anyone can suggest a way to get a perfect lossless conversion from Xvid to H264 without a significant file size increase then I'll be glad to hear it.

I guess the bottom line is that HTC should deliver on what they promised, and preferably before the phone is outdated.
[Desire General] ingenious:
It's not the loss of quality that comes with reencoding, IMHO. After all, you want to watch the movie on a device with a bad 3.7" screen and semi-decent sound quality. The problem is that it's a big hassle to do the reencoding.

I just want to download a video file and throw it at the device. It's not much what I'm asking for - TCPMP has been doing it for many years on Windows Mobile...

Hi all,

Is it possible to get the STOCK NEXUS ONE News Widget onto the HTC desire.

I had a Nexus 1 originally, and its much better and less buggy. Traded it in for a HTC desire, and that app/widget is the only thing I miss!

Any idea?

maybe this will help

Hi there,

thx
[HD2 General] archers3001:
Hi guys had a look around but still not 100% on the answers so ill ask.

( 1 ) I have a fully open networked HTC HD2 came like it out the box so can run any sim. I dont like the phone as in getting app's for it im not big on stuff like that. So im looking to get a new phone what i wont to no is if Ithe IMEI was blocked in the UK could the Phone be used in say the USA if I wonted to sell it ?

( 2 ) If the phone would work out side the UK would it still be open to any network like in the UK?

Thanks silly questions I know and sorry about that.
[HD2 General] BLAST3RR:
Since IMEI blacklists are only national (so in the country they were blocked), they will be usable out of the UK. But not inside. Not even with another provider while on vacation in the UK.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
erm, are you asking whether you can report your phone lost or stolen, then selling it on?
[HD2 General] archers3001:
OH ok thats fine then so if i was to have misplaced my phone then find it againe after its been blocked I could still sell it.

Thanks
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
But you said in your first post that you *have* the phone, so now you're thinking of losing it?

Sorry, but this wreaks of fraud.
[HD2 General] archers3001:
No its just I keep misplacing stuff thats all Lost my G1 6 mth's ago and found it last week lmao
[HD2 General] archers3001:
For it to be fraud would i not need to have insurance first on it ?
[HD2 General] archers3001:
OK after looking at the way it look's I see what you saying about how it looks so could a mod please delete this thread

thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsidianreq:
Just got the new 2.2 ROM installed via OTA... love running a hardware review site!

I've got stuff such as Flash working right now (There's some great threads right here to help with that, just search for it).

However, I'm trying to figure out if a few other rumored features have been enabled yet or not in the "official" ROM.

- Color trackball?

- FM Radio?

- I see options to SD storage, but its grayed out. Do I need to partition my SD card like when I used apps2SD on my G1?

Update

For anyone looking at more information for the "official" app storage on SD in Android 2.2, take a look at the developer guide. (I'd post a link, but I'm too new)

Looks like your apps have to have the "External" part coded in.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnie93:
i dont think you need a partition for Apps2SD, remember that Apps that require root access cant be moved to the SD and im guessing that the apps need to be readied to be moved.. and for FM..i dont think its in the update i could be wrong.

Multitouch and 2.2 updates

Hi guys,

I've got my nexus one shipping to me tomorrow. I've downloaded the multitouch patch and the new 2.2 patch for my non-rooted Nexus one....

Which one do i apply first?

would applying one before the other mess with them?

Thanks in advance

U dont have to do anything for the Multitouch patch, it will be pre-loaded. Not sure whether 2.2 will be pre-loaded or not

Ok, I have the 2.1 build running and save the ferocious battery drain its pretty good (bravo all) - there is one thing tho' that is bugging me, on my native android 2.1 phone I have a checkbox switch to disable the data service, its found by navigating as follows:

Settings > Wireless & network > Mobile networks > Data Service [checkbox]

I have asked in the thread for the build but despite someone telling me it exists, he declined to actually say where!

Please, can someone enlighten me where it is (if it exists - I assumed that the 2.1 builds would use exactly the same ui components...)

cheers,

dan
[Touch HD General] dzeen:
you can use QuickSettings app instead

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildsjustin:
i also had same problem..

just re-intall Froyo update file then

type

---> 1. adb devices

2. adb shell

3. pm setInstallLocation 2

all app goes to SD as soon as being install apps

im not sure if it works or not... in my case, its working damn fine :p

really hope works on ur device
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SphericalPuma:
If you're talking about an unrooted FroYo, the app developers have to update their apps to either allow or deny APPs2SD storage. If they don't update their apps, or choose not to allow it, you can't move it, from what I've read.

Will the evo be able to use chatroulette, since flash is available on android, and it has a front-facing cam? Or do we have to wait until the froyo update for full flash support?

why bother with chatroulette. just a bunch of trolls, and dudes jerking off. good concept bad site lol

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrono:
In the spirit of actually answering the question, you won't be able to use the cam in the browser until froyo, then you should.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockstar1o9:
verified. doesn't work with the built in browser or opera.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samzebian:
Thanks for clearing that one up guys, I was just wondering ever since the phone's announcement. I figured, the phone's got a nice cam, with android shouldn't be a problem to achieve something like that, and it would have flash soon. So I thought why not chatroulette, since I had just started toying around with that site around the time the evo was announced. The site is a lot more interesting if you use it for purposes other than jerking off, I mean it's fun to just talk to random people. That's the whole purpose of the site anyways, if you want to jack it go get some porn, don't come on chatroulette for a good time. AT least not in that sense. Hopefully the phone will work with other sites like stickam or any other live webcam streaming sites.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samzebian:
Well I can confirm it doesnt work on any rom I've tried even in the stock browser with flash 10.1 installed. Hopefully they realize this and somehow can get it to work.
[HD2 General] hawc1506:
The title says it all:

Customers have reported issues when attempting to download the HTC HD2 software update, and may be experiencing additional issues following successful downloads. As a result, the software update has been temporarily removed from www.t-Mobile.com/wmupgrade.

Support teams are engaged and working to resolve these issues so customers can take advantage of the many benefits this update will provide. Once the issues have been resolved, the software update will be re-posted on www.t-Mobile.com/wmupgrade.

Customers who have successfully downloaded the software should keep the update and continue to use their device as normal.

Thank you all for your patience!

Leads me to wonder whether or not T-mobile tested the update thoroughly before releasing it to consumers...
[HD2 General] Sylux:
so its just the downloading prob? no problems with the software updater?
[HD2 General] hawc1506:
"and may be experiencing additional issues following successful downloads."

Not really sure what the "additional issues" are, but I hope that includes the radio problems, sensitivity problems, and the scrolling issues.
[HD2 General] secano:
Yea, It was probably just refering to the slow download speed from the site. It's gonna be the same ROM with its issues.
[HD2 General] cdguider:
Download is still there

[HD2 General] Chef_Sen:
thanx alot my hd2 needs work
[HD2 General] haydendo:
Unless they modified this update, it will make the phone less useful (as for my experience). I updated my htc hd2 but I immediately downgraded.
[HD2 General] DaveNavy:
Yea It was up this morning my guess is t-mobile was getting excessive bandwidth issues with all the hungry consumers wanting this updated ROM, which they all very well should be !!! ROM has been on my device for over a week and I haven't had the need for a battery pull or reset since, everything is kosher,...there are complaints of lag, but I have not experienced any issues with my HD2 since I upgraded my ROM to the 2.13 :D
[HD2 General] glcK23:
Same here, phone is stable and fast with the new rom. 2.13 is good stuff
[HD2 General] DotheTP2:
I've updated to 2.13 yesterday and last night, it was taking up to 45 seconds to make a call. :mad: Holy Smoke!

I mean I've pressed call and put the phone up to my ear and took up to 45 seconds before I heard first ringing. :(

I'm looking into downgrading for now. :mad:
[HD2 General] Sylux:
well i downloaded the update yesterday but then like half and hour later the update from the website was taken off and that made me think that it might of been something wrong with the update other than a downloading problem. until they put a new download i highly doubt that i will upgrade. hopefully tmobile will announce some news on what the update is doing to these phones cause many people have upgraded and most of them have different problems.
[HD2 General] glcK23:
Not. Normal.
[HD2 General] cgigate:
this is a junk upgrade!
[HD2 General] hawc1506:
Downgrading's easy. Just go to the sticky and download the 2.10.0 rom and then flash as you normally would and then you're set. I just did it this morning and boy what a difference.
[HD2 General] the0stranger:
This update has been very good for me, on both HD2 phones. Battery life is much better, reception is better, data is faster. I can see a difference in the touch-screen sensitivity from the original but everyone was complaining about it being too sensitive.

It would be good for HTC to develop an included GUI for adjusting the screen sensitivity.

For me this update has been very good!

There is a cab to change the sensitivity back.
[HD2 General] mikeny:
it worked fine for me. second day and its fine.

It has been working great for me. No freezing (yet), and much faster response time. Weather updates still buggy. Opera browser got an update as well.

[HD2 General] joe_coolish:
Looking at the verbage used in the statement issued by T-Mo, it makes it seem like by putting SOOO much emphasis on "trouble downloading" and then throwing a little 3 word "and after downloading" at the end that the real issue is the ROM. I say this because bandwidth is cheap (relatively) and for a wireless provider like T-Mo, pushing 200 mb files out to a small subset of their users should be nothing. I've downloaded 5+ gb of data from Microsofts websites the day that updates were released with no download issues what so ever.

My thoughts (and this is probably wishful thinking) are that maybe .01% of downloads failed (which is normal) and so they have the proof to back up their claims about the d/l being buggy, but the real issue is the actual ROM being bad

T-Mo is in the business of communication (aka transportation of voice data), they have the technology to push a relatively small file to an even smaller subset of users. I'm raising the BS flag on the download issues and hoping for a better ROM release.
[HD2 General] Zoskalon:
Ok, but the file is back up on their site with the same version number. Indicating that is has been put back up for download, but no changes to the ROM.
[HD2 General] jcbofkc:
A lot of the newest ROM's are based on this version, correct? Is so, how has the stability been affected? I have heard nothing but bad stuff on the update and am not surprised it was pulled. Are the ROMS based on that update OK to use. Stable? Fast? Screen jitters?

I am running Kumar 1.2 now and am considering upgrading.
[HD2 General] clauswl:
Battery life is at least doubled with roms using 2.13 as a base line.

Performance is way better. No freezes, better reliability over all!

well it makes me wanna update cause these are really great news that i wanna hear. idk i want some opinions cause i downloaded the update on Saturday and it was half an hour before it got taken off. its 206 mb and i wanna know if others have the same size? and i want some opinions if i should update or not. i have everything for my phone stock all i have on it is cookies home tab which is a mod not a rom. do you think its safe and will it come out right. (yea trust me i worry to much i know but when you waste 600 dollars on a phone, yea who wouldn't?)
[HD2 General] glcK23:
Have you been ignoring the compliments on the 2.13 rom on purpose?

I am running the 2.13 rom and I like the speed and stability compared to the previous rom. It's fast, it works.

You'll probably ignore this message because it isn't a complaint...
[HD2 General] clauswl:
Why not hard spl the boot loader and load another rm on your phone. Performance and reliability and usagewill be far better than the stock roms offer you. (i.e. the rom in listedin my post above)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mattj7:
First off, allow me to introduce myself: I'm an 18 year old cook from new orleans and I'm fairly tech savvy. I have an ipod touch and enjoyed hacking the **** out of it, and now I have a G1 and look forward to hacking the hell out of it as well, espcially since android is much more hack friendly and so far I absolutely love it compared to the iphone os.

Ok, so I just downloaded sign-passion-frf50-from-ere27.1e519a24.zip

From what I understand this is Froyo (2.2), which cannot(?) run on the G1.

Can I get this to run on the G1? If not, can I get 2.1 to run on the G1?

If it is possible, but very difficult, please let me know anyway so at least I know what I'm up against.

On this note, what is the process of manually updating the android os anyway?

P.S. I did search before posting this, and nothing seemed to spefically match this post
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
Even if all Android systems have the same roots, they differs on various devices. This is caused by different hardware specs: CPU architecture, drivers, customizations; and there are some custom add-ons as well: Google apps, Sense UI, etc. This is why it isn't possible to run OS designated for other devices, even if both of them are running "the same" system.

Porting is a process of mixing up bits from both systems to get some features from one device to another. And adding some missing parts. We have to wait for someone to manage to build workable version of Froyo system for G1 devices.

Ahh and there is no problem with 2.1 on G1 - there are plenty of 2.1 roms for this device, I personally recommend CM5.0.7 .
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mattj7:
I see. So do you think that froyo will be ported to the g1? Where can I download the roms for the g1? and how do I install them? Is there a way to get sense ui on the g1 after I install CM5.0.7? Thanks for all the help
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] smaskell:
Well first you will need to root your phone. There is tons of information on that. I'm sure you'll find a guide no problem. Is you want cm5, which I highly recommend as well, go to cyanogenmod.com and look in the forums under experimental. You cannot, however, simply add sense to a rom. It's a lot more complicated than that. There are lots of sense roms though. Check the g1 forum here on xda. As for froyo, time will be popping up soon enough but we're all going to have to wait until the source is released sometime in the next week or two.

Hope that helps,

Hi everyone, I have a problem with the gps on my HD2 and I feel it could be a faulty device.

I haven't seen anyone else on here with the same problem but thought I might put a shout out for any suggestions.

I have had my HD2 since it first came out, and regularly use it for Sat Nav.

When I turn the Sat nav on (co-pilot 8) it is very quick to get a lock.

However I have noticed that when I drive through a certain part of town the sat nav always looses the satellite fix.

I thought it might be the software, but it happens in Google Maps as well.

Obviously this now looks like a hardware/radio problem.

As a extra test, I have recently upgraded my wife's phone to a HTC Desire, and took that out with me. I drove back to the same area and the HD2 lost the signal but the Desire had a full satellite lock.

Any suggestions, (apart from nicking the wife's phone:) )

I am using the official 1.66 rom and the radio version is 2.06.51.07

This problem has lasted through several hard resets and rom upgrades. So I don't think a hard reset would do much.

Many thanks,

Paul.
