Glue softens

I have to say I was happy for around 5 months - until it started to get warmer. Then the glue started to soften and smear out from under the shield. It made the screen look a bit of a mess and ultimatly the corners started to flap about because all of the glue had gone. Contacted Zagg customer support and they admitted this can happen when warm and humid. They suggested I use their replacement service but why should I pay around 6€ for postage in both directions if as soon as it gets warm it will be a mess again. Not very impressed. I'll stick to the electrostatic screen shields in the future. Can anybody recommend one?

Hi, guys.

When I make a picture with my HD2, the flashlight is too much strong...

Is there a way to reduce the lights?

Thank you,

Luigi.
[HD2 General] argentocruz:
Up close the in-built flash will be strong...

Go to settings and turn the brightness down... That will help...
[HD2 General] FinalByte:
In the settings can reduce only the brightness of LCD Display, don't reduce the double LED Lights... :( :(
[HD2 General] FRANQ_23_PL:
First of all: Rom version and which hotfixes you have?
[HD2 General] pedroxxx:
camera flash light

This is already known problem with lots of description in other threads.

Basicly the problem is camera timing when flash light is in auto mode, because light meassurements are done before flash blink or there is some delay, and therefore pictures are overexposed.

Simple solution is to change flash mode before you make a picture from AUTO to ON, and than make a picture. Light meassurement will be much stable.

Somewhere was mentioned that there is already a fix for this problem, maybe rumors maybe not, so some search can be usefull :-)
[HD2 General] FRANQ_23_PL:
You have right, but if author having old 1.4x ROM, where was huge problems with flash, so he should update ROM or install hotfix from HTC site.

Thats why i ask about ROM version.
[HD2 General] pedroxxx:
Well, this is very tricky part from HTC, that ROM updates(or even partial fixes) have no description which problems were fixed.

This is the reason why also people have very various experiences with this device.
[HD2 General] steveianson:
Try putting your finger infront of the flash while taking the picture

Sorry Guys my Rom is Leon 2.0 by Shark147...

Is There a cooked rom with this hotfix?

Thanks...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] metaltorizo:
im trying several different roms and both of which have resulted in the splash logo and nothing else, it just hangs there. one of the roms was the kingkkklair droid eris2 g1 and i followed all of the directions it just didnt work. please help!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Reziukas:
Could you share more info?

What phone do you have?

What radio/spl?

Are you sure you read and followed instructions?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] march83:
are you sure you posted this in the right section?

turn the phone off, restart it by pressing back and power together and tell us the version information. most likely you have a 32a and you're trying to install roms for 32b or vice versa...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Not ROM Development related.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
By viewing his recent posts, it appears that he is using a MyTouch 1.2 device.

OP, you need to wipe before flashing any rom.

Please provide SPL, Radio versions as well as ext partition type (ext2, ext3, ext4) as well as rom details.

Bonus points if you can provide a logcat from ddms.bat and use pastebin.com to provide it to us.

My theory, the wrong ext paritition is being used. Some SenseUI roms require an ext3 partition.

Or...

A wipe of data, dalvik-cache, ext partition is likely needed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] metaltorizo:
no i have a 32b phone im sure, i got rid of that other phone and now have this one. my radio is 2.22.19.261 and my hboot is 1.33.0006. i followed the directions exactly and the roms are not working at all. here is the link to the rom please help me out. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=644275&highlight=kingklick
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] metaltorizo:
I think i found out the problem. It said i need the latest radio, whatever that is. do you know what the latest radio for the mytouch is?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
I'm pretty sure it's 2.22.23.02 but your current radio should work too (i think).

Do you have an ext partition?

If yes, what kind?

If yes, did you wipe the entire partition?

If no to either question, that's likely your problem.

Did you wipe your data?

If no that's likely your problem.

Do you know how to use logcat?

If yes then give us a logcat of what is going on while your phone tries to boot.

If no then use the command prompt and type 'adb shell logcat' wiith your phone connected to your pc.

Can you use other roms?

If yes then which ones have you tried?

If no then try different versions (preferably that don't have special requirements such as spl, ext partitions, swap, etc.

And check here if it's an issue with rooting your device.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=551920&highlight=click+root

I think that applies to your specifications.

Also try asking in that particular thread too. More than likely someone else in that thread has your same configuration and can give you more advice.

In all honesty, if you can flash other roms and are just busting your butt just to flash a Sense UI rom, you will be inevitably disappointed. They are fun at first but later on during the day you will probably become frustrated. MyTouch devices were not made to support the Sense UI interface. All devices that have Sense UI (aka Rosie, aka Hero) have at least twice the ram, faster cpu and more rom space. It'll be like installing Vista on a Pentium 2 computer with only 64mb of ram (just an example). Even if you could get it to work, it will eventually start running like dirt. It's not 100% stable or functional. The lack of bluetooth is an ongoing issue that most developers had pretty much given up on. So basically you are posting several threads and spending countless hours trying to get a rom flashed on your phone that will have no bluetooth and in a matter of hours will only provide slow constant and slow reloading with an occasional lockup/freeze/reboot. And I know that you're thinking 'But it looks really neat!' :rolleyes: Really... stability and functionality will always win over eye candy. So go through the trouble, experiment with it if you wish but in a few days time you will be wanting to flash a more stable rom and all of this trouble that you are going through will be for nothing. Just my advice though.

Good luck.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] metaltorizo:
Yes, i had a ext4 partition, and i did a full wipe before flashing. how do you delete the entire ext partition?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Wipe it from Recovery.

Depending on what rom and what recovery you are using you can just

cd /sd-ext (for Cyanogen 5.0.7+ roms)

cd /system/sd for most other roms (older roms)

then rm -r *
[XPERIA X10 General] acmbc:
I have noticed behaviour pointing to a memory leak on the X10 - After turning the phone on, I get less and less free memory after running ATK - over 110 MB right after turning the phone on to ~70 MB after 24+ hours.

The phone is heavily modified/customized, so it may not be an SE sw bug (ADW, Smart Keyboard, handcent, k9, etc...)

What's the best process tool you can recommend to look into this?
[XPERIA X10 General] remins:
Let the phone handle the memory. dont worry.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
+1 on that. Android its linux based and us meant to work like that. Empty memory is wasted memory.

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

Sent from my X10i
[XPERIA X10 General] acmbc:
Android may be Linux based, but if *after killing all idle processes* memory is systematically dwindling, that means/may mean that one or more of these processes is allocating memory which it is then NOT being released - either by the process (more probable) or the system itself (less probable).

In other words, for the same set of running processes/applications , the memory usage should *not* systematically go up over time.

Linux itself has no automatic GC. Android does (Dalvik VM), but it takes some care from developers for that to work properly - no "loose" pointers to unused but still-referenced data, etc....
[XPERIA X10 General] cashaw:
I disagree, as processes are used/exercised the kernel will allocate the memory they need, after switching on the phone the processes are idle and occupy a small amount of memory. As they are used the process size will grow in main memory as they store or cache common data used by the process. That is why applications such as facebook may be slower at start off as the data needs to be supplied, once this data is cached it will run much faster as the data is already in main memory.

Linux/Android works on the principle that it's a waste not to use as much memory as possible.
[XPERIA X10 General] acmbc:
Not to get into a GC flame war here: The principle you mention is right, its just that after one KILLS these processes (facebook for example) ALL OF the memory allocated by facebook should be relinquished to the system (ergo, appear as free).

I.e. if I start up my phone, and just have processes A B and C running and have lets say 120 MB free, and after using the phone for a while kill everything and *restart* ONLY processes A B and C, then I should have 120 MB free. At least tendentially (may have a different set of resident libs at the 1st and 2nd points in time, some other minor stuff may be different, etc..). However, I find that doing this over and over results in less and less free memory being available as time passes.

I am not saying I am *right* but a good process inspection tool would help to ascertain what is going on.
[XPERIA X10 General] OwLOwLOwL:
Wrong.. it should NOT be returned to the system.. but it should be marked as "disposable" IF another process wants to use it. That is the way linux usually do.. That is why the "Free"-value is misleading. As the "Free"-value is not the sum of "Free" and "Cached" values. when you "unload" a lib it is not completely removed from memory, it is just marked as "cached" instead. Saving tremendous ( :-) ) amount of battery and time when, if, the user wants to use it again before overwritten by another memory-hungry application..

Regards // OwL
[XPERIA X10 General] robbyf66:
does all this mean we don't really need advanced task killer?

or does the advanced task killer kill the cpu process? ( as a result longer battery life)
[XPERIA X10 General] OwLOwLOwL:
advanced task killer kills the application itself, so that nothing more is executed by that application thread(s). wether dependent libraries are kept loaded or not does not affect battery time when not used. Advanced task killer does not actually unload any libraries it only kills the process.

I personally hardly never use advanced task killer, as it is not needed as long as you make sure to run applications that does not keep the phone from going into sleepmode. Those programs are just simply bad coded.. I instead have a CPU-meter application in the task-bar and if I see that the CPU-time is extensivly used after the application has been put to background, then I might use a taskkiller to stop the bad application. But that scenario is rare... I usually get 50h+ of battery time per charge, whatever I do with it.

when i have the H symbol i can't download weather for some reason? and is there much difference between 3g and 3.5g ? in terms of browsing. i've had hsdpa/hsupa switched off this morning and weather hasn't failed once...... i would like to resolve this issue if possible without flashing to a custom rom.....

thanks :)
[HD2 General] teddmf:
Try flashing a new radio. You won't lose your ROM or customizations. I had problems with 3.5G and radio 2.10.50.28_2 fixed that for me with 1.66 stock ROM.
[HD2 General] M3PH:
Agreed 2.10.50 series is a good match for the 1.66 roms. Stay away from 2.11.50 series unless you want to flash a custom rom based on the 3.01 roms that just got released. For some reason 1.66 and 2.11.50 radio makes the signal worse.
[HD2 General] daiash:
ok guys i might try that later if i get time....

cheers!

once i've done it i'll report back if there are any problems or maybe just to say thanks again if it works..

I would love to see WM ported to this device, it would be the next best thing to the HD2 if someone could.
[Droid Incredible General] Zabii:
Not really, this device is better than the hd2 because the hd2 is running windows. Android blows winmo out of the water imo, and I was a hardcore winmo fanboy until recently.
[Droid Incredible General] k.electron:
yea i swore by winmo until i got this, because essentially winmo had the same basics. multi-tasking, sandboxed apps, open development. its just that the engine for winmo was 8 years old, and it was not slick anymore.

as far as 720p video goes, who shoots 720p video with their phone and then broadcasts it to the world as HD, seriously who does that. i saw the video quality and its very decent.

video calling- yeah they could have done that.. but no, im not willing to sacrifice open development for video calling. if you absolutely must have it, get the sprint evo. thats like a million times better than i****.
[Droid Incredible General] wpbear:
This is so funny, 99% of people are switching to android running away from MS like the house is on fire, but someone actually wants MS ported to an andriod device. I guess the grass is always greener :confused:
[Droid Incredible General] bishop0114:
Very true... I switched from the TP2 to the Inc and really expected not to like the Android. Within a half hour, I was hooked and wondered why Windows Mobile is at least 10 years behind in technology.... This is my opinion of course but no matter how good WM7 is, I simply can not imagine going back.
[Droid Incredible General] wpbear:
Yep I just left the TP2 and was only worried about the lack of hard keybd but 3 days later, who cares about keyboard....DI works when WM would freeze or crash.
[Droid Incredible General] Maverick_TN:
I still have a lot of apps that aren't available for android yet. Would be nice to have the added features like the hardware compass and more ram and the added speed.

I'm not saying that android is a bad platform, which it isn't and I know its advancement is moving along at full steam.

I just have a lot of stuff that I use for WM and isn't available for anything else yet except some of it is available for Crapple's IPhone and would like to keep it for now.

GPS Meter, GCzII, VidaOne Personal Diet and Fitness, Identadrug, Davis Drug Guide, Hamachi2, WMWifiRouter, WifiMonster, GPSWeatherRadar, Bing, and TrackMe.

Would be nice to see an WM Energy ROM for this thing.

Also, is there anything available yet that will auto install software and customize your device with your user information and settings yet for android like XDA_UC does?
[Droid Incredible General] anothen:
like XDA_UC? No, not that I know of as of yet but I'm new to Android(just got rid of my TP2 recently). However, if you set up a gmail account now on your TP2 and know how to setup ActiveSync(instructions are on Gmail's website) all of your calendar & contacts auto-sync to the Incredible when you set it up. All of your apps stay with your gmail account on the marketplace so anything like XDA_UC on Android is relatively useless other than automatically setting up user settings. However, if Android is set-up like a Linux computer, you can simply update the OS version without losing your settings anyways... Trust me, I was in your shoes... It's easy to keep saying Windows is nice but aren't you sick of your phone freezing all the time?
[Droid Incredible General] jitajt:
so was I for about 5-6 years until I got this thing then I was like windows who?

if they got WP7 ported to it then I would def try it for S&Gs, and because I could, I love not having an icrapple.
[Droid Incredible General] Maverick_TN:
I haven't been having any problems with my phone freezing up since I unlocked my phone and got away from that pitiful stock rom and upgraded to a 6.5.3 rom, except when it gets really hot from being on in direct sunlight in my truck or something.

I'm not saying that android is bad, just saying it doesn't do what I want it to do at the moment.
[Droid Incredible General] hexto:
lol. I wiped WinMo from my HTC Vogue in favor of Android cause even 6.5.3 is junk. Can't believe someone wants to regress on purpose. Microsoft's answer to finger friendly was to just make certain buttons bigger and make the X really big and ugly.

No way any dev is wasting their going backwards. This wouldn't be like a dev running Windows 3.1 on a Nokia or Apple device to show of their skills. It'd be like swapping a Mustang's engine with an Escort's.

Sorry if I sound rude...I don't mean to. It just sounds crazy to me.

I agree with the above post. I owned every WM phone under the sun until the G1 came out. Since then I haven't looked back. I had the G1, mt3g, then switched to verizon for the Eris and now the Incredible. They all outperform any windows device I ever owned. I can't think of one thing on windows that I miss really. Use the incredible for about a week and you'll be hooked. There are plenty of apps in the market I'm sure you can find apps to do what you need.

[Droid Incredible General] Maverick_TN:
I know all of the versions of WM have a list of problems that have plagued users since long before I ever used my first WM device "HTC Apache" and I think its besides the point of this thread.

Why has android been ported to other devices "such as the before mentioned HTC Vogue" and all of the other devices that it has showed up on?

One word....... Choice.

People want the ability to choose what they do with their devices, run what they want to run on it and do what they want with it. If they didn't want that choice then everyone would have a Blackberry.

I'm not saying that WM is any better or worse than Android, Personally I use both "Via XDANDROID" on my Touch Pro 2 and I like android, but I still use WM because I have a lot of apps that I rely on that aren't available on android, so I want to have the choice to run WM or Android on it and I think there may be a few others that haven't switched away from WM completely yet because it has something that they use.
[Droid Incredible General] anothen:
you have not experienced Android to it's potential if you are basing your opinion on running 'XDANDROID's' current work in progress... That was running Android off of an SD card and was STILL faster than WM. However, alot of things didn't work properly so your view is skewed. You mentioned people wanted 'variety' so they through Android on their phones.... Not exactly. Android is simply faster and manages memory better hence why people try to port it to WM to speed up their phones. If your only reason for not wanting to switch is because of a few apps, I'm sure you can find the apps on Android. The fact that you are really trying to make the point that you want to stick with WM bc of a few apps boggles my mind... Have you even looked in Android marketplace???
[Droid Incredible General] KB Smoka:
I agree....If you search a little bit you'll find apps that will replace the ones you're missing from WM. I thought the same thing when I switched but I've found everything I needed and more.

Identadrug

I purchased this with a yearly subscription and I use it almost daily for work.

http://www.identadrug.com/%28S%28p21lfx45orka2x55gbhbvtad%29%29/pda.aspx?s=ID&cs=

Nothing mentioned about android...

Looked at Davis Drug Guide, and it now has Android.

GCzII Geocaching app, nothing available in android marketplace even comes close to comparing to it at the moment.

http://www.vidaone.com/ Diet and fitness software that i bought and use daily has no current support for Android.

Hamachi 2 Client I use it daily for accessing our reports system at work and my network at home.

WMWifiRouter No current android support "however Chainfire has mentioned that they are developing a version for android" and PDANet just doesn't compare doesn't support wifi and is much slower when using bluetooth and doesn't have the range as wifi. "My g/f and I often take our laptops and I leave my phone plugged up charging while in the cradle in my truck and leave wifirouter running and we both can surf with reasonable speed at the same time on each of our laptops.

TrackMe I see a couple of TrackMe apps on Android, but are any of them based off of this one that have a web gui and allow me to use my existing self-hosted server? Using my existing server setup isn't a requirement but it would help, but hosting my own server and having offline storage of data to sync later is a requirement. (more information requested on this one)

GPSWeatherRadar Currently WM only, and I haven't found anything that is like this on android.

Bing: Seems that there is a version out there for android now, I use it mostly for business listings and movie times etc...

I rarely use it for navigation.

I have listed above the programs that I currently use the most and either can't or don't want to do without.

When an android version comes out of this software or something else that can replace it with the same features "then I will seriously consider switching.

I just really want a better device to run what I have on "since we are locked in with the limited selection of devices that our carriers offer us", at least until more companies adapt their software for android.

Not to be rude, but sounds like you should have just purchased an HTC Imagio.

Very similar profile to our Inc's. Keep in mind that every single app you listed has been replicated in some way or form on android. Do some research, youll be pleasently suprised at androids capabilities.
[Droid Incredible General] Maverick_TN:
Imagio vs Rhodium_W......... Any real difference except for one being a slider and the other having a FM radio and a better camera? I was looking for something faster, has more ram, and a hardware compass. Since it doesn't look like VZW will get a CDMA HD2, I figured this had the most potential out of the current selection of offered devices.

I'm very content with what Android is capable of, it is afterall linux. Its the software selection that still needs a little work.

I've looked up Geobeagle. haven't tried it out yet though. Just heard that Tom from GCzII has been showing more interest in Android, perhaps he'll make a version for it.

Can you show me compariable versions of software for the other listed items?
