Yeah, I'm on Orange UK. I like the idea of generic roms, but I'm sort of put off by all the reports of people bricking their phones. Also, I'm used to HTC's sense UI. By all accounts the standard Android interface is a little dull. It's actually the HTC widgets I'd probably miss most, though. I guess it depends on exactly what is in 2.2, really. Functionality is more important to me than a wizzy front end, and Orange have made something of a mess of 2.1 on the Desire (breaking reflow on the browser, removing google talk but leaving the service running, putting loads of crap on like facebook which you can't remove and which gives me a daily reminder that there are updates available which i don't want and can't disable).
[Desire General] barryfell:
Why not flash a custom ROM like Pays Desire Sense: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=674688

It's not Froyo but it's a great 2.1 ROM that will get rid of all the annoying **** from the Orange/Generic ROM and adding some nice new stuff, all while keeping Sense and all the HTC UI stuff.

I had the problem with the data connection as well but it's fixed now I flashed the radio after unlocking. You can get an unlock code for £10 and it's actually an investment in terms of resell value for the phone, plus of course you can then use whatever radio you want rather than waiting on Orange OTA updates.

You can always reflash to Orange stock if you ever have any warranty issues.

It can seem a bit daunting at first if you are not used to flashing ROM's but as long as you can follow a handful of well documented step by step instructions that are given it's easy, and there is so much to be gained.

Don't put up with what you don't like when there are relatively easy fixes. :)

is it possible to change the text for the quicklinks on the home tab? this is what my home screen currently looks like:

i'd like to change some of the text, i.e. "opera browser" to "opera", so it doesn't take up two lines. does anyone know if that's possible? thanks!
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
simple...

first the concept. when setting a quick link, the list of programs presented to you is extracted from the start menu. once you choose a program from the list, the quick link is created using the target, icon, AND caption of the corresponding start menu item.

so simply make a copy of the link in the start menu and name it how you like and keep it in the start menu folder. then remove the quick link you don't like. now when you will try to re-add it, you will see your copy appear in the list of programs exactly how you named it. select it and re-add it and viola!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
or grab a registry editor, browse to

HKLM/software/htc/manila/home

find a lot of numbered folders, one for each quicklink, find yours (it starts at 0, so if its quicklink 3 it will be in folder 2)

In there change DispName to whatever you want it to say
[HD2 General] ce_rob:
used this method, worked perfectly. thanks!!

One of my friends has dropped his Sprint TP2 and unfortunately the screen cracked: http://www.upload3r.com/serve/020610/1275521790.jpg

Quite unfortunate, but anyhow I was wondering if you all had any suggestions on swapping this out. It appears that you cannot feel any of the crack on the top surface, so I assume it must have occurred "underneath" the digitizer, on the LCD screen. I found some LCD screen kits on eBay for around $60. Does anyone know of a guide for replacing this? Is it a simple thing to do? Any tips for this situation in general would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

hi

no, i'm not running with froyo in moment,but you can tested on a froyo rom!

thank you
[Desire Android Development] rolfd:
Well I installed it, didn't use recovery. I just installed the apk and used astro. Is there any reason why it should be installed in recovery mode?

From limited tests, it works ok apart from changing screen size. It force closes. It's not quite as fast on the froyo rom as adw launcher.

Thanks for making it though!
[Desire Android Development] ameruxxh17:

hi

i have trying the adw launcher on my rom, it work ok but no faster like my launcher

maybe its give a difference between froyo rom system and mine, i don't know!

thanks.

Hi folks, you know the drill, my current phone (an HTC Mogul) is getting past it's usefulness and once more I find myself on a hunt to find a phone that has the most of what I do want and the least of what I don't, in other words the best compremise between the device of my dreams and what's actually avaliable.

Further to this I am limited in funds so not only can I not go out and purchase a brand new top of the line model, the device I do end up getting will hopefully last me for a long time (or at least longer then the 1yr I got out of my Mogul).

Perhaps I should start by looking at why my current phone just doesn't do it for me anymore?

1) No wireless - Ever since I flashed it to 6.5 I have had no wifi.

2) No 3.5mm plug - The HTC proprieity adapter hardly works half the time either.

3) OS - 6.5 WiMo flashed is pretty unstable, I regularly have to reset the device because it locks up or just won't work.

4) QVGA - probably the best I can afford, but I do a lot of reading on this and a higher res would be better for my eyes.

5) CDMA - I really need a quadband simcard capable phone.

So what do I want?

1) Wifi, bluetooth, GPS

2) 2mp camera or better

3) 6.5 Wimo native, preferably with duel boot capibility

4) 3.5 or 2.5mm audio output, or HTCusb that actually works!

5) Keyboard if possible (I really like the qwerty thumboard on my Mogul)

6) WVGA or VGA would be nice, but it might be out of my price point.

7) GSM QUADBAND!

Any reccomendations of models would be nice, thankyou :)
[General Topics] orb3000:
Go for Rhodium!

Definitely the best hardware device out there:cool:

If want to spent less money you can try Rapahel or even less (if you find someone who want to sell) Universal
[General Topics] Willuknight:
Thanks for the recc, I will check those two out :)
[General Topics] DannyFenton:
I agree with ORB you should go for a Rapahel because it has so many roms to flash and it is cheap compared to the latest devices :rolleyes: .
[General Topics] Willuknight:
Hmm, looking at ebay, the Rhod looks like its about $100 more then the Raph

or $300 for the Touch2 and $210 for the Raph.

At those prices it seems like it would be better just to pay the difference?

Also no one will ship to New Zealand :(
[General Topics] orb3000:
Yes on that case better go for Rhodium

I have seen ebay sellers who ships to almost any part of the world.

Also have a look on marketplace section, you can find very good deals:)

Good luck,
[General Topics] Willuknight:
UPDATE: I bought myself a HTC Rhodium, very happy with it.

Now, I want to buy my GF a new phone for her birthday. Currenty she is using my ****ty old Blue Angel with WiMo 6.1

She uses the phone everyday (carries it around in her bag), but the only thing she does on it is read. She sometimes sends text messages, but usually not. She hasn't really used any of its other features or installed her own programs or anything (she is a programmer, so she does have the skills to do so).

At the moment I'm tossing up between a HTC Diamond, Diamond 2, Touch HD and another Rhodium. I'm leaning more toward the Diamond1 though. We generally try to avoid spending lots and she's more then happy with the PDA2k so even the diamond is a big upgrade and isn't too expensive.

I use my Rhodium to read alot of comics, but at 480x640 the screen should be highres enough to be an improvement. The other reason I'm leaning toward the Diamond is because of it's small size, and easier for her to carry around.

So, my question: Is there anything wrong with the Diamond that I should consider, and are there any other devices with VGA or better resolution in a similar price range that I should take a look?

Also what is the difference between the Touch Pro and the Diamond (besides the keyboard)?
[General Topics] orb3000:
If you need keyboard go for Raphael, if you don´t need it go for Diamond 2, I buyed one in marketplace for 180US a few months ago.

Or take another Rhodium:cool:
[General Topics] sablesurfer:
Why the recommendations for Rapheal? I am ready to put mine through a wall. The keyboard has gone flaky in the last three months...(delete requires holding down, not just press, P has started to not work, space now triple spaces)

In addition the screen started to separate over the 'x' button about two months back, now I hve that leaky black spot you get when screens break. The control pad at bottom has started to have the plastic cover start to come up.

In the last month the phone has decided to start dropping calls and even losing towers completely. (I have not changed anything on phone in over 6 months) I have rebooted the phone at least 10 times in last three weeks because of screen starting lock up, non-responsive push buttons, and complete lost of tower without attempting to reaquire.

This phone is going tits-up recently and I have had it locked to Edge forever because it will not hold a 3G signal in a very large city.

Not a recommend from me.
[General Topics] Willuknight:
Thanks for the reccomendatiom - and the non recccomendation ^_^;
[General Topics] sablesurfer:

(silly extra text because my message was too short)
[General Topics] Willuknight:
Ok, at this stage I am leaning toward the HTC Touch. The touch is fatter, but it looks like it has a lot more memory which has surely got to result in a better user experiance. It's about the same price as a diamond as well - I just have to find someone on here to sell a raphael to me.
[General Topics] maxpower097:
I have a moderately worn Tmo Touch Pro 2 I'm selling off on ebay later today. Only doing a 3 day auction starting at $0.99. If interested I'll post a link. Pics are great of the scratches so you can probably grab it for $125-$150.

What where the main issues you had with it?

I've just upgraded from my mogul to the touch2, and the main issue I had with the mogul was the low res and slow processor compared to the touch 2, but overall it was a good phone.

NEED ANDROID PHONE WITH Qwerty keyboard

I'm looking for a new phone to replace my aging G1 but I dont want to give up the real keyboard. The mytouch slide is nice but it's hardware isn't on par with nexus one or htc incredible. The new Samsung Galaxy S Pro with sprint seems promising but not so sure about community support. I love how with my G1 I have so many options, so many great ROMs from Cyanogen and others on XDA. I'm worried that If I go with a samsung I will have better hardware but very few choices when it comes to moded roms. Is there an alternative phone out there with hardware on par with the latest HTC phones that have a slide out keyboard. Any one care to offer thier opinions??:D

Correction. It was never advertised or promised to have FM hardware and, while it turns out that it coincidentally does have some FM hardware, it remains to be seen if the hardware support is complete and as yet nobody has yet gotten it to work so take that item with a grain of salt.

[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
PROS: Your phone goes faster!

It goes slower while it's asleep, so more battery (as long as you program the profile in setcpu)!

CONS:Your phone might overheat.
[Hero CDMA General] calripkenturner:
Thanks man I appreciate the response. When you say overheat do you mean the battery, or the actual phone? haha

[Hero CDMA General] duffkitty:
I just figure the phone has a failsafe. I have mine at 768 and only gets ridiculously hot when charging running Google navigation. Otherwise it's just slightly warmer. When it overheats the led flashes red green and I figure its slowing the charge or stopping it to compensate.

A computer will shutdown when the heat gets to an unmanageable level to prevent damage. I figure the phone would have something similar.

-------------------------------------

[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
It doesnt go faster while its asleep.. It scales down like any other rom/kernel would when the phone is asleep.

If you really arent sure then dont ever use an OC'ing app. Just install the kernel and let it scale on its own.
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
Also the only thermometer thats close to the cpu is the battery. So its not the most accurate thing to watch since its not the actually cpu temps. Just a rough estimate. Also when it get to around 40 C then set the max clock down to around default clock speeds. Or simple just let the phone relax and dont touch it. You can also take the back cover off and let it get more air..

It doesnt get hot extremely easy, so its not like youll be sending a text and it gets hot. Its only after prolonged use or doing something thats keeping the cpu from not scaling down very much (game, tethering, or etc..)
[Hero CDMA General] duffkitty:
I think he meant setcpu can scale at a lower then factory frequency. But that would actually not be overclocking =P

It would actually be underclocking, yes. But it DOES give you better battery life!

I haven't noticed a difference setting my phone to 245mhz when it's asleep (well positively anyway). But when I unlock it is slow to a crawl, so I just set it 528mhz all the time and my battery life is unaffected but my phone is always very spunky.I don't have fresh toast on my phone so I haven't overclocked it yet (but may eventually)
[Hero CDMA General] lineman78:
I only had issues with overheating when charging, especially via USB to a computer. One commonly overlooked side effect is that Li-Ion batteries lose capacity faster at higher temperatures. The capacity degradation is a combination temperature, charge and number of charge cycles. The ideal situation is to be at 40% charge at 0C, but the hotter the battery, the more it degrades with time.

Hey folks. I'm not much of a developer (for Android anyway), but I'm on these forums 24 x 7. Thanks SO much for the hard work that is put in here.

I own a Nexus One with Cyanogen's OS 5.0.7.1. I've noticed (even since the early OS 5.0) that when I hold the power button to bring up the Power Off/Reboot/Airplane Mode menu, and I let go, the menu disappears and the screen becomes black. I have to do this several times before I'm able to power my phone down. Does anyone else experience this?

I've had this issue on a previous Nexus One which I had to send in for replacement due to dust. On that phone, before I sent it in to HTC, I pushed the default System Recovery and other packages to the phone and also had the same issue. I'm wondering if it's something with rooting the phone.

Thanks for the help!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geniusdog254:
I may have misunderstood, but it sounds like its just not pressing the button all the way or letting go too soon, since it seems like it's just locking the phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allen099:
Hi Geniusdog. I can assure that the button is being pushed down as normal and all the way down. I just tried it again.

- I push the button all the way down until the menu comes up

- I let go of the button

- Menu disappears

Very strange!

Just got an RMA from HTC. They said power button malfunction is the #1 defect with the N1. Put it back as stock as I could before sending back. The phone was in perfect condition save for being unlocked and the power button problem. Not too worried, since it is a clear hardware issue and nothing I did by rooting, modding or watching porn. :p

EDIT: My power button was so screwed, that I had to use Gscripts to reboot or shutdown the phone, and "No Lock" to wake it up easier.

EDIT 2: And I had no cm since "makin' bacon bits", so Cyanogen's mods are not the issue.

Is this a US Cellular phone? I'm surprised that a CDMA phone works on T-Mobile's (GSM) network at all... But if you can receive calls then I guess it does. :confused:

The data setting for T-Mobile -- the APN -- is epc.tmobile.com

So...if you have a place under Settings>Connections>Manage/Edit existing connections for APN or Access Point Name then epc.tmobile.com is it for data.

I don't know about MMS...I don't use it.

:)So i Just got my replacement HTC Hero from Sprint. IT HAS 1.5 !!!!

So here is what you need to do if you want to have 1.5 back:

1) cal sprint tech support and complin about the phone not working right, It gets to hot while making calls or using it at all * this one is important *, the battery only last 2 1\2 to 3 hours after full charge, data never connect correctly and you have to refresh it by going into and then out of airplane mode, and what ever else you can think of or are really having a problem with.

2) tell them your phone worked fine until the new 2.1 update released on sprint's website May 19th 2010, and you followed every instruction they gave

3) DEMAND !! ( I'm not usually like this, but it was the only way they would do it ) Demand a new htc hero be sent to you, and tell them to request in the notes that it has 1.5

**** IMPORTANT *****

The replacement phone comes from asurion, your insurance provider. They are currently working on flashing all HEROs with 2.1, so if you want 1.5, DO THIS TODAY !!!!

4) once you get the new one, make sure you reflash the 2.1 RUU on the old phone as to wipe everything and remove traces of customization * as they look for these and can charge you $75* Then call sprint and activate the replacement.

5) **** MOST IMPORTANT STEP ******

MAKE SURE YOU MAIL THIS BACK WITHIN 15 DAYS, as sprint will charge you a $500 NON REFUNDABLE Charge to your account !!!!!

Also once you get the new phone you can update the firmware to the

RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.20.651.1_signed_test Firmware, as it has a built in ROOT ACCESS. just follow steps at: http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-hero-roms-hacks/9542-how-repair-your-bootloader-after-using-2-1-ruu.html to get root access.

That's it I hope this helps !

Now I am going to enjoy custom ROMs again ! :)
