Hi

I don't know if people realise this but you can modify a generic car charger to automaticlly activate the Navi Panel mode so you don't need to buy the SU400 kit.

You will need a car charger that is capable of suppying 1 amp, to enable fast charging. ( Use an app called Spoon Charge to check) or disassemble the USB Micro A plug and ensure Data- and Data + are soldered together. DO NOT solder Data - and Data + togehter if not already done so this means the device is not capable of supplying 1amp.

If so you should have a unused pin ( this is called the ID pin) solder this along with Data + and Data - to OV.

When the charger is connected it will launch Navi Panle if enabled and turn on bluetooth and pair to a set device.

I will take a pic of the modded plug and post it up. In theory I would assume the same mechanism is used on more than this device.

OMG LEGEND bro. lol. Finally someone figured out HOW to do this so you don't have to buy that overpriced HD2 carkit. Thanks. Mod's this should be a sticky.
[HD2 Accessories] Phenomenon:
mods seriously this should be front page news
[HD2 Accessories] chrcad:
Are you sure, that this will work? Did you tried it yourself? Cause my CU-S400 is also activaiting the Navipanel even if i don't have plugged in the Charger! So I think that it hasn't anything to do with the mAh-size of the charging unit....

Anyone notice that there is no lockscreen wallpaper? You only have a homescreen wallpaper.

I cannot find any place to set a separate lockscreen wallpaper.

It appears to just be a design decision...while it was nice to have it seperate before, I was not aware that you could have your live wallpapers on your lockscreen before either, but you can now. *shrugs*

Personally, I like it. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3taman:
IMO, I don't. You use to be able to take a picture of something and save it as your lockscreen. It would all display. Now the lockscreen only shows part of the stretched wallpaper.

Sad they made this change. A step backwards if you ask me. :mad:

It's the same on the HTC Desire of course. I agree with you, it's crazy, why would they leave out something like that?

This is by far my favorite theme, but no matter what I do the menu button disappears. Not all the time, but specifically in messaging it is never there. I can still hit the menu button, but it's invisible and sometimes I forget about it. Any ideas?

the real player handles video, music and photos...

I think it works very good for videos. the music player is too much like the default player and the photo browser pulls from a random folder rather than viewing all your picture folders.

This response is to reinforce my distaste for RealPlayer, their business model, their apps, and their lack of openess since their earliest inception. I can only hope that Android people do not show any interest in RealPlayer and allow it to die through lack of support/interest by the community.

Hi guys!

I'm just about to buy a used x10 with a pretty scratched screen...

BUT I feel that the scratches might just be on the protective film, included on the x10. But as I have never actually seen an x10, I would like to have your guys opinion on whether its the protective film thats scratched, or the actual screen :)

The seller sent me some pics of it... Please give me your opinion :)
[XPERIA X10 General] forzanerazzurri:
The film is definitely still on that phone but I think that's the least of your worries. It looks like the phone was treated like crap overall.
[XPERIA X10 General] Rashkae:
That phone took a ton of tumbles. I'd avoid it.
[XPERIA X10 General] Psi-ko1:
X10 is supposed to have a scratch resistant screen, lord knows mine should be scratch to hell by now. But the side damage is concerning as well the screen may be cracked from the look of the pic.

Don't by unless going to use to attempt rooting experiments.

[XPERIA X10 General] Bikram:
Well if the booty and the screen is only scratched and everything else is fine (I mean the phone is fully operational). Then depending on the price (if its really cheap) I recommend that you can buy it. Afterwards you can buy a case and go through a tutorial on how to change the case. That should fix everything.

BTW make sure it is really cheap as you have to buy the case too.
[XPERIA X10 General] arcticreaver:
if you are seriously looking to get a X10, you should just save your money and get a brand NEW one.

First Impressions...

The Ultimate Screen Guard....the name says it all!!! It is one of the nicest screen guards/protectors I have used. It came in a small bubble wrap envelope and endured the shipping journey really well. The kit includes a screen guard, lint cloth, and the applicator. So, let's get the installation going...

The Ultimate Screen Guard features include...

Enhanced clarity designed with the best Japanese materials

Touch screen sensitive surface adheres without glue

Simple installation involving an easy-to use applicator

Optical clarity due to anti-glare and anti-scratch design

Static Cling and bubble free appliance

Extreme durability

No rainbow marks and anti-fingerprint

0.1mm thick

Installation...

The installation process went pretty smooth and fast...I had the screen guard installed in less that 30 seconds. Initially I had little struggle getting the tiny lint/dust particles off the screen. It seemed the more I wiped the screen, the more they just followed me. Once I got past that, it was fast. The screen guard does not come 3-layer like the VZW one did, but just 2-layer. I started the install from top around the speaker, managed to align it nicely and then just slowly laid the rest of it down. The screen guard didn't even need the applicator as it is a static cling and went on without the air bubbles. I had a couple small ones around edges, but got rid of them with the applicator. Screen guard, being a static cling, makes it very easy to apply and remove. At the end, screen looked beautiful like I didn't even have anything on it.

Look and Feel...

As I mentioned above, the screen guard made the screen look bare...for a few reasons: one, it covered the whole screen even the navigation keys and around trackpad at bottom and second, it is very thin, which is great. Using the phone, there was no interference with touch screen sensitivity and it was as responsive and fast as it was without anything on it. The protector did collect a few fingerprints initially, I got those wiped and it was great. Another, amazing thing about the Seidio screen guard is the surface texture of it is really smooth, thus making the gliding of finger on it really smooth and not jerky.

Daily Usage...

After using it for a few days, I am still pleased...as it is one of the nicer screen guards/protectors I have used. One thing, I would suggest is may be adding the little dot for the trackpad, which people can use for camera lens protection. I also went out and tested the phone in day light and sun light. The screen had the natural glare, but icons and phone navigation was easy and visible. I did have Auto screen brightness enabled. So, to all you out there, check the Seidio Ultimate Screen Guard out as it beats the Verizon stock screen protector by far!!! I sure am keeping mine.

Anyone know if there is a way to do this?

I have 7500+ contacts both for business and my personal contacts.

I need all of them but only use specific groups on a regular basis. Is there a way to sync all the contacts but only show lets say Family, Friends groups in the contact list.

But when you tap menu > search and search for a specific name itll search through all of them and show the results? In other words hide specific groups but still sync them.

If this is in the wrong section please forgive me.. Its a general question and not device specific which is why i posted here.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SiNJiN76:
Have you tried going to contacts...hit menu...then hit display options? I'm pretty sure it's the same as 2.1
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nomad4ever:
If you have an Android phone from HTC with Sense, then what you request is standard functionality already in 2.1. You can tag your contacts, put them in respective groups (like family, business, vip) or even create your own ones.

The only problem I would see is the size of the contact storage with that amount of contacts. I have only about 450 contacts with minimal contact info, but the contact storage is already 13.7 MB.

[Desire General] Phil750123:
hey all.

Had my desire since first came out in march, not really thought about rooting till now with froyo.

So basically im scared to root due to the number of usb bricking, yet i want to root to get froyo, but with release date of June hanging around i question whether to just wait.

So be nice for a list of pros and cons of rooting, for me, and probably the other number of people who are in the same situation as me.

thanks
[Desire General] rolfd:
Well the usb bricking issues can be fixed now so that is no longer a problem.

Pros for rooting:

1.You can customise the handset till your heart is content. This includes removing sense if you don't like it, or even removing system apps that you hate. Friend stream, peep, and stocks spring to mind!

2. You will most probably get the latest firmware before the official updates are rolled out by HTC.

3. You can use apps that need root like setcpu, and titanium backup.

4. Froyo test roms are available and work extremely well with a few minor niggles/bugs.

Cons:

You invalidate your warranty.

I'm really only touching the surface with this list. If you are confident in rooting then I can see no reason to hold back!
[Desire General] Phil750123:
Yer think i will have to root, new update has just confirmed, waiting for htc, then t-mobile will just annoy me!

To do with warrenty, i have insurance so if my phone breaks, i can just claim on that anyway? pay little excess and sorted surely??
[Desire General] nightang3l:
i'm not sure if its true but my friend said that even if you root your phone htc will still replace the phone for you if anything happens.

can anyone confirm this is true? or heard anything similar to this situation?
[Desire General] sruon:
even if you root it, you can always return to a proper stock ROM and they won't notice anything, there isn't anything on the Desire that screams "I'VE BEEN ROOTED/UNLOCKED" like the N1.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Not necessarily true. If you root and then your phone subsequently dies, you may not be able to flash a stock ROM back again.

However, anecdotal evidence suggests that HTC don't bother to actually try to diagnose a fault in a phone, and just replace the mainboard as a matter of course.

Regards,

Dave

Guys i am orange uk contract and have insurance on hc desire. I have rooted desire and is working fine. lets say anything goes wrong with it. do i send to orange or htc for repair. what if i send it to htc for repair won't orange say why didn't you send it to us?. I am paying £6 per month on insurance. what do i do will orange repiar the phone even though its rooted or will they say you have broke the term of insurance?

There is no uk orange stock rom so i can revert back to. Will i be screwed if anything goes wrong?

I didn't even release how many questions i have asked in this forum. Please pardon my english.
[Desire General] oursoul:
personally I dont think they'll be to bothered if you have taken the effort to send it to them, the Orange repair centre probably even has the capability to flash the Orange ROM to it anyway. Also if its a hardware fault then they dont need to touch the software really.

Of course this is just my opinion, not fact but in this life you have to be bold to succeed and also be prepared to accept failure. @ronaldo, if you send it to HTC, Orange aren't gonna give a **** are they lol
[Desire General] Phil750123:
How long does it take to root? Looked at some guides doesnt seem to take too long.

might go for it when i have a whole day spare to play with it etc...

after all, htc said when they now details about rooting, they would release a schedule, as nothing has been released yet, think it might be a while untill it comes officially.

What are the chances to brick my desire. If i brick it is there any fix.

I believe there is a fix for bricking it now???

[Desire General] oursoul:
Exactly. Software isn't a problem for them, so off the record they can just plug it in and reflash it with whatever firmware they want too. If we can do it, they can do it more ;)

Just gotta be bold (and lie a little).
[Desire General] diggedy:
Just a thought on the whole insurance thing, perhaps you could tell them you lost the phone if your worried it wont be repaired. excess is usually the same or just a little bit more. (edit: just notice gunja said the same thing, great minds think alike :p)
[Desire General] landwomble:
step too far

not telling them you've flashed it and sending it back to HTC to reflash it back is one thing, but pretending you've lost it and claiming on your insurance is a bit cheeky. Not to mention definitely illegal...

Sometimes - especially after a long time in a building in central london with inexplicably poor 3d reception - my phone just refuses to connect to 3g even when in a strong 3g area. I try turning the mobile connectivity off/on and this very rarely does the trick; more often it either does nothing, or doesn't even complete. It just sits there saying `connecting`. If I turn my phone off and on again then reception is restored. My phone is fine in all other respects (wifi is very fast), and the data does work fine most of the time.

Does anyone else have this problem? Is it just orange? Is there some other way of getting the resetting functionality of turning it off and on without actually doing so?

Of the various mods I've read about, changing the preferred network type has had the best results. My phone is usable again.

Change the network type to GSM auto (PRL)

Upgrading your radio version is the next step and is something I intend to do eventually... the phone needs unlocking first. The above method has made my phone usable in the mean time.
[Desire General] poldie:
Yeah, I read a lot of them. None of them make any difference for me.

Like this one, for example.

I've no interest in unlocking or flashing my phone. I just want to use the internet on my phone. Apparently this is a problem on the Desire.
[Desire General] bedeabc:
Assuming you're on Orange? You didn't say.

They've got their branded 1.21 OTA update in the pipeline that will almost certainly include a radio update that many have reported improves signal and 3G/HSDPA pickup.

If you want that now, you can flash to a generic 1.21 ROM using a goldcard. You'll need to buy an unlock code for around £15.

You can either wait for Orange to release the update (keeping your warranty), Or go get it yourself now. Woth bearing in mind that you'll get Froyo faster if you get a generic ROM...
