Trackpad wake mod worked like a charm

Hi guys, just wanted to put in my 2 penneth.

Rooted my Desire today after much soul searching and it worked like a charm:D. My phone still shows S-ON though I am not sure wether to make it S-OFF as I can't seem to find enough reasons to do this extra step (mine is a GSM Desire unbranded running stock Froyo). I am happy running stock Froyo sense ROM (for now, though that could change!).

I have downloaded the stock RUU that I was running prior to rooting just in case I need to return under warranty. Am I right in thinking that I would just need to put it on the SD card and run it from ClockworkMOd recovery to restore to unrooted condition????

My biggest bugbear with the Desire was having to press the power button to wake the screen (difficult with a case protector on that covers the power button up), however thanks to you wonderfully brainy dudes, I have applied the update zip from recovery and it works like a charm:D

My phone now wakes with either the power button OR the trackpad. I then swipe to unlock. Chuft to bits and back in love with my dear Desire.

One thing though, could one of you clever dudes make a Mod in the form of a zip file that stops the Desire from vibrating on shutdown and startup?? This would be the icing on the cake for me as I have already disabled the startup jingle using a mod on this great forum.

It seems stupid having these 2 vibrations on startup and s/down.

Thanks a million, I love you guys. Happy bunny here

Any chance that you can release an update which enables all four buttons, Home, Menu, Search, and Back wake at the same time? Tks~:)

I installed a rom that changed my wake button to the trackball.

I'd like to change it back to the original, so I downloaded the back-to-original.zip, put it on my SD card and tried to run it from ClockworkMod.

When running it, I get the following error:

Can someone help me?

It's really annoying to use the trackball to wake the phone, when you're used to something else. >.<
[Desire Android Development] jastonas:
Which rom are you using??
[Desire Android Development] GnaXi:
I'm using this rom:

[Desire Android Development] jastonas:
Well.. i dont know why this mod should or should not work with that rom. Ask in that thread how to enable powerbuton wake.
[Desire Android Development] GnaXi:
I did, and was asked to go to this thread :p
[Desire Android Development] jastonas:
Change rom then!
[Desire Android Development] GnaXi:
No reason to be rude...

I'll find my solution elsewhere.
[Desire Android Development] jastonas:
Not being rude!

I am serious.. its a fun thing to do ;)
[Desire Android Development] TigerSoul925:
I'm using the trackball wake and it works fine to wake up the phone, but I cannot click it again to also unlock the phone instead of swiping. Is this normal? I was under the impression that the menu unlock hack made it possible to wake and unlock by clicking twice on the menu button, doesn't this work for the trackball hack?
[Desire Android Development] mariogis:
Finally i got it working. I am using MoDaCo Custom ROM Desire Port for the Google Nexus One r24, and the file that need to be pushed for this rom trough adb is mahimahi-nav.kl . I found out this in terminal using the getevent command.

So try this:

Download the file attached to your C drive and push it as bellow.

adb push c:\mahimahi-nav.kl /system/usr/keylayout/mahimahi-nav.kl
[Desire Android Development] vokkE:
Any chance of making these work on Desire HD roms? :) Just tried flashing the wake up only using trackball, but it didn't work. It still wake ups from every key. Didn't cause bootloop tho ! :p I'm running baadnewz rom atm.

About a week ago I decided that it's time to give up iPhone and try something new. I was checking the HTC Wildfire and thought that it would be an okay first Android phone, and also I can buy a brand new one when I've sold my iPhone 3GS 32GB. But then I started to look at auctions and such, and I saw that ppl actually want to trade their HTC Desires and Nexus Ones for a iPhone 3GS. And now I don't know if I should, once again, get something used or if I should for once buy something brand new. I also like that the Wildfire is a tad smaller than the iPhone, but the screen and power on the Desire seems a lot better. The Nexus One seems pretty decent, too.

I'm also afraid that the response on the screen of the Wildfire will be lower since it will be a budget phone. And in my understanding the Desire seems like a updated knock-off of the Nexus One?

So I would appreciate some help with this, since I have no experience with Android phones. Never even held one.

And if I was to get a Desire or N1, then I could get it tomorrow or so.

Thanks!
[General Topics] ~~Tito~~:
HTC Desire! The desire is not a knock off of the Nexus One, the Nexus One was handled by Google and HTC. The Desire is handled by HTC's own design team, and own interface, and its own support. IMO it loks better then the nexus one because of the trackpad.
[General Topics] kimlindo:
Yeah, the Desire is looking more and more interesting. And since people really want to trade without any money in between, it doesn't seem like such a bad deal.
[General Topics] ~~Tito~~:
Plus, it has Sense UI. :D
[General Topics] ddotpatel:
The Desire is very appealing but I think I'm holding out for the HTC Vision ( a Desire with a hardware slide out keyboard) , hopefully it will have a better camera though.

I could end up waiting forever if I'm always wanting something slightly better than what is available. Tis lucky I'm still happy with my Hero, still will be for the next 3 - 6 months I reckon.

You've already made the best decision by going with Android.
[General Topics] kimlindo:
A friend told me to buy HTC Legend, but I think he only likes the name. Is it any good?
[General Topics] mrbkkt1:
Nexus 1 is freedom. And the optical pad isn't nearly as nice on the desire that I had on my xperia x1.
[General Topics] kimlindo:
So with a Nexus One I can pretty much do what I want?

EDIT: Oh, and how about the battery life? That is something I really hate with the iPhone. I'm a frequent user of my phone and the iPhone barely lasts a day (read around 16hrs).
[General Topics] pecosROB:
Evo battery life blows

If you don't like bad batteries, you should stay away from the Evo. I unfortunately don't live in a 4G network, but my battery still gets drained. It's probably because I'm playing with the phone so much though. I've gotten about 10-11 hours of battery using some wi-fi, messing around with apps, sending lots of texts, taking some pics, playing back media, and streaming some stuff (but never for long periods of time, more like just showing a ton of people the different features).

I have a suspicion there's no way around a bad battery when you have a gorgeous, HUGE screen to power up.
[General Topics] kimlindo:
Yeah, that is probably true. :P My gf's iPhone 3G lasts about 2-3 days, but she barely touches it except when she's listening to music on her 10 minute walk to school. :P Also she has roaming and such turned off.

EDIT: And it looks like I've found someone willing to trade their HTC Desire for my iPhone. :O Maybe even give me a few pounds since the device had some scratches on a corner. :P
[General Topics] jz9833:
This is a very easy debate and can be solved by 1 word only.

Froyo.

The nexus one has it, no one else does.

Also the Sense UI is very will known to slow down your phone. Personally I also do not like the look over it and prefer the stock UI of android.
[General Topics] A_Guy71:
like jz said, the nexus one is Google's baby. Google makes android. Therefore its safe to say the N1 will always be out front of any android device, and will likely have less bugs. I have the htc hero and while I do love it, I wish I researched first and got T-Mobile and the N1.

Just had a play with the Desire - wow is simply the way to describe it.

Leaves the other phones for dead and makes the current Iphone look sick imo.
[General Topics] THUDUK:
Would be interested to hear how you get on, am thinking the same, have an Iphone....can we have a fair, honest review on your change from Iphone to Desire ?
[General Topics] kimlindo:
I'm not really good at writing reviews, but I'll write something short and then you can ask questions!

I've now had the Desire for two days and I'm starting to get the hang of it. It's really different from an iPhone (no ****). I think it would have been easier/better to have a PC for this Device (or any other Android I guess) since there seem to bee some problem connecting it with the macbook. But maybe I just haven't found the best software yet.

The phone is very nice. I like the big screen and how clear it looks. The touch is working better than expected. But I think I need to recalibrate the touch since I need to click a bit higher than I would want to on buttons at the top of the screen. Otherwise it's probably as good at touch as the iPhone. Don't really feel any real difference.

I had some problem with the phone unlocking in my pocket, but I put in a lock combination to prevent that.

The battery life is about the same as the iPhone. I think at least. Hard to tell since I've been using the phone a lot these two days.

Hmm... what else? Oh, I like the keyboard better. But that's probably because of the bigger screen, thus the bigger keyboard.

And of course the Android Market doesn't have the quality of the App Store. But that's understandable.

Ask questions! It's much easier two answer than to write reviews. :P

Hi all,

Last night i installed the new update for HTC Desire that popped up, after restarting the phone i now cant use my wifi and get the "unable to start wifi" when trying to enable it in settings.

I see this is a cause of the new update and alot of poeple are having the same problem. I have searched this forum and although finding other posts asking this the replies seem to be a mind boggling array of numbers and i can find a good step-by-step guide to get my phone back in good shape.

So my question is, can someone post a very detailed step-by-step guide to essentially get my phone back to the way it was (getting rid of this update) and then installing this new update properlly if posible. If any files are needed can you give a direct link to them

Here are my phone details:

T-mobile simunlocked and not branded

Isn't/has never been rooted

Fireware version

Fireware 2.1-update1

BaseBand version

32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11

Kernel Version

2.6.29-97da29ed htc-kernel@and18-2#1

Build number

1.21.405.2.Cl174215 release-keys

Software number

1.21.405.2

Browser version

Webkit 3.1

Im on o2 - Uk

If you need any more info just ask, i will be watching this tread constantly :/

Thanks to anyone who gives info or help.

Stu.
[Desire General] rezinomed:
I'm in the exact same situation. I've also tried a hard reset, nothing resolved.
[Desire General] grazykid:
I had the same problem, what i did was : create a goldcard and root my phone again thus returning to the previews version. That fixed my wifi..i don't know if there is a guide to keep the update and fix it at the same time.:confused:
[Desire General] metalheadstorm:
the pirority for me is to get my wifi back up and working, i dont really care about the new update atm.
[Desire General] aindow:
Download and reinstall the older ROM file? I lost my Wifi after updating my debranded Orange Desire. I simply reinstalled the same ROM i originally used to debrand the phone and soon had my wifi back in no time :)
[Desire General] metalheadstorm:
Ye a step by step for that would be good, including the link to the file :) would that wipe the whole phone ? apps/sd and settings included?
[Desire General] pergolesi:
Exactly the same problem for me!

I have a Vodafone supplied desire, which was not locked, or branded in anyway, but decided that I would like the WWE rom, as Vodafone almost never bother updating their roms!

I made a Goldcard 3 weeks ago, and installed the WWE Generic rom 1.15.405.4 (I think that's the right number) and a few days ago, got the message telling me of an update.

Like an idiot, I just installed it, and consequently lost WIFI.

Searched the forums and found a link to the full updated rom, using my Goldcard I then installed it, and it's been working fine ever since.

Heres the link to the full rom:

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe

Here's a link for making a Goldcard:

http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-create-a-goldcard/

Please be aware that this will completely wipe your device, unlike the update that keeps all of your apps, settings etc, but it does work!

Good luck!
[Desire General] aindow:
Use the links provided by pergolesi and you should be ok.

Unfortunately because i am new on here i cannot post or send links. Sorry.
[Desire General] metalheadstorm:
Thank you for the replies, ill see what other ppl come up with and see where to go from there :)
[Desire General] Cynabal:
I did the exact same think as many other people, Goldcard Unbranded my Orange Desire few weeks ago, did the OTA update and got my phone Network locked, so I purchased a unlock code and feared my wi-fi would not work when I put the code in, my wifi works fine? , Im wondering what was so different for me? maby if we can figure that out might help other people.
[Desire General] aindow:
This may be a stab in the dark but maybe the updater checks the network sim lock to help determine what update to install? It may see the Orange network lock and think the phone is still Orange branded and download the Orange customized update, causing a compatibility issue with the wi-fi?

When you do a Nandriod back does that also flash the original rom the backup was made on or do you need to do that seperately?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foolforfood:
Yes it does, a Nandroid backup is basically a full, complete backup of your phone. That's why its always a good idea to do it before flashing a new ROM because if it doesn't work,. You can go back easy.

So, I gave my American girlfriend a Nexus One (because Im a nice boyfriend) and it worked fine for her while she was studying in Europe with a SIM Card from Verizon. However, she has sadly now returned to the US and it apparently has stopped working, obviously because of the CDMA network.

So, just wondering if there is any way of using the Nexus One on Verizon in the US at all? She has a SIM Card as I said..

Thanks

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attn1:
the best thing to do would be to sell it (if it's in good condition it should bring close to $500.00) and then buy an Incredible.

Or, switch her to AT&T or T-Mobile. Keep in mind that the N1 you purchased will get 3g on T-mobile or AT&T, but not both, depending on which one you purchased. It will get Edge on either network.

All

I have my htc setup to both internet sharing and Wi-Fi connection on my work PC with a lan connection. On both of these connections e.g. wired USB and wireless i can get the internet for about 3 minutes then it stops working. Is there some sort of block? I did see a while back that the WiFi app has no restrictions...

Any help would be superb.

Cheers

Baker0
[HD2 General] Xp3RiM3nT:
Thats a little odd, there is certainly no block and I have had the wifi router running for a good 30-40 minutes without failing.

what part is failing, is the phone no longer running the wifi router, or is the pc no longer getting internet on that network connection?

If you need help on how to find this info just reply and I can walk you through some more diagnostic steps.
[HD2 General] Baker0:
The phone is still running just the internet stops on the machine. I have to stop the wi fi on the phone then start again then connect. I think it might be t-mobile but the internet on the phone is fine
[HD2 General] Xp3RiM3nT:
are you in the uk?

if you connect your laptop to the phone via the wifi router you should be able to right click the network logo, click on status and view the wifi network info, it should tell you in there if it has internet access on that network connection.

If you try this again and when it fails check this status window and see if windows is seeing an internet connection or not?

when the net fails again try and visit http://72.14.203.100/ (this should be the google homepage) if you see google then there is a dns problem if it still says network timeout or failed to connect or something like that then we will have to dig further.
[HD2 General] Baker0:
LOL thanks for your help. I am in the UK. ive been working in IT for the last 12 years and I know and have done the test, its not the machine it has something to do with the phone or t-mobile network:)
[HD2 General] StevePritchard:
Sorry to hijack your thread a little, but I'm on the T-Mobile Network in the UK too (except I'm using a Touch Pro with a custom ROM), and although I can make connections from the PC to websites using the IP address, the DNS isn't working so I can't resolve domain names.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Steve.
[HD2 General] Xp3RiM3nT:
It must be the phone then since I do use wifi router, I am on t-mobile and in the UK and I do not experience this :S

I seem to be saying this more and more but maybe you should try a hard reset and see if that fixes the problem?
[HD2 General] Xp3RiM3nT:
This is likely an issue with the way your machine has been setup to connect to the wifi network. Try visting the properties of the network and vieing the dns settings for the tcp/ipv4, It should be set as Obtain DNS server addresses automatically. If it is set like this then try setting it too 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 these are googles, dns servers if this works for you then you could stick with this or do some further digging as to why you are not getting the dns server addresses automatically like you should be.
[HD2 General] StevePritchard:
Setting the DNS entries to Google's makes it work, but attempting to get the DNS Server's automatically leaves me with no ability to resolve domain names. How strange?

Thanks for the workaround, not sure where to start looking to fix it properly.

Cheers,

Steve.
[HD2 General] fulham:
Hey guys,

I am new to this wifi router thing and got the following questions:

1. To be able to use it, you must have data connection with your provider. Am I right?

2. By any chance, can I use this system by using a sim taken out of a prepaid mobile broadband dongle and inserted into my device (htc touch HD)?

3. Once I get connected can I surf the internet/check emails etc from within the device itself without the need to use a laptop?

Please don't mind these basic stupid questions.

The below reg edit was said to have worked to disable the balance alerts for att prepaid before they gave customers the option to disable them in the system. Like ne other reg edit/software use at ur own risk & backup ur files before installing.

add the following registry key

HLKM/ControlPanel/Phone

New value: SuppressUSSD := DWORD(1)

wait a minute or two (important, or the registry entry will disappear), then reset the phone

This will disable all USSD messages including star services.
