[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mistamikel:
sorry to dig up an old thread, I have a stock tilt 2 (at&t) that has not had the hard spl done to it and wanted to know if I use Rhodium_S2_HTC_Europe_2.07.401.1_Radio_Rhodium_4.4 9.25.91 would I have to hardspl it or no because its an htc release?
[HD2 Accessories] fx.dcny:
Given the tremendous popularity of the HTC HD2 and the continued support by the XDA forum, I would like to suggest/request information on the following:

Can the Micro USB Port at the Bottom of the HD2 be used as a connector for a front facing web cam thereby enabling video chat through services like gtalk, qik, skype, etc.?

Envision a small add-on accessory webcam similar in finish and appearance as the HD2 case, adding about 1/2" to the overall height of the phone.
[HD2 Accessories] BerMM:
Great idea, but the HD2 doesn't support USB host, which is required for most any aftermarket usb accessory to function.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyWalker1726:
Hi everyone !

i'm totaly new to the android phone thing

i would like to ask for your help , to get some answers for my questions :D

got the Desire today and found out that there are two version of the device out

one codenamed 8181 and the other 8183 i think ... is there any difference between the two ?

what does rooting the device mean ? is this the same thing as HardSpl for Winmobile devices ? or is it more like the iphone Jailbreaking ?

what are the things that a rooted device can do that not rooted can't ?

are all the Androids compatible ? ( for example if a version is released on a device can all the devices install it ? )

since i can;'t access android market, is there another place that i can get android games and software ?

does the OS have a File manager ?

can we have custom ringtone , or is it limited to the one in the ringtone menu of the Sense UI ?

THANKS IN ADVANCE EVERYONE !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
OK here goes!

Rooting the device is basically removing the HTC restrictions on the rom and therefore you can install custom software on the handset.

I think the 8181 8183 thing is the version of handset. 8183 can only be used on certain networks in certain countries. I'm not 100% sure on that though!

A rooted device can use custom roms, you can use apps like titanium backup that will only work with rooted devices, you can install themes, and you can customise it till you hearts content. Within reason. You can install your apps on the SD card.

All android software is not compatible. You can not for example, install nexus one software on a desire. It can be ported over but this depends on the developers and if they want to do it. We have some superb devs at the minute who have ported the nexus one froyo roms. They are still a tiny bit buggy, but those bugs are literally being fixed one by one every day. I'm using a froyo port and it's perfect for me in everyday use.

Why can you not access the market?

You can download file managers in the market.

You can have custom ringtones and notification tones. If you search these forums you will see how to put them on.

Hopefully this has helped you a bit!

Drocap2 still works for me
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notxel21:
DDMS never fails either. :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregnotcraig:
yeah, drocap2 or "just shoot me" (or maybe "shootme"? it is on the Froyo Kang edition ROM, but i prefer dropcap2 because it has more options - shake, timer or notification trigger)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrganizedFellow:
Yup, drocap2 for root users.

I do beleive ROOT is required for any screencapturing from ANY Android™ device.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
DDMS, root not required.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brenopoubel:
But when i take ss if my image is moving, the ss comes with some brokes.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brenopoubel:
DMMS isn't working for me on Froyo.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConstantineXVI:
This sounds silly, but are you sure debugging is on, and the drivers are installed on your PC?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] followinginsanity:
I've taken screenshots with all of the above listed methods on froyo. drocap2 does flake sometimes if you rotate the phone or something, but it works. the shootme apps both work well. and of course ddms is the top if you are at your computer.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/htc-evo-suffering-from-glass-separation-issues/
[EVO 4G General] bsanti:
I just read that and looked at mine. The glass is separating in the lower left corner.

Thank God I have 30 days to return.

I love this phone. I can get past the 16 bit resolution. The 30 fps cap is a little hard to swallow. But now this? Sigh..
[EVO 4G General] DoctorComrade:
Nothing wrong with mine.
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
If you have it, return it for a new one. No need for drama. There is a one year warranty for defects and 30 days risk free from sprint. Pick one or the other.
[EVO 4G General] shep211:
Most n1's have the same issue. I checked mine when I first got it. You can check if it really is separating by pressing on the corner of the screen and if you hear clicking then you need to use a hair dryer and get the glass hot. Then press down on the screen for 1 to 2 mins. I fixed both of my n1's this way.
[EVO 4G General] bsanti:
Since yours is fine. Does the light leak at the bottom at all? Mine has all 4 buttons leaking but the lower left brighter, since its separation there is more pronounced.
[EVO 4G General] tatnai:
yeah, 1 yr manufaterer's warranty will fix this everytime, no charge to you, so I really would not sweat it . . .

or go pull out your hair dryer ;)
[EVO 4G General] shep211:
Not having a phone for 2 months while waiting for htc to fix your phone is not going to work for me. Thats why I fixed my n1's myself.
[EVO 4G General] psufan5:
I have this also... Slightly on the bottom corner... ugh. That iPhone is looking better and better.
[EVO 4G General] dehelflix:
Same issue here, glass is now raised above the bezel, any idea if they let you keep your sd card when you return the phone, not a big deal if not, but it'd be easier.
[EVO 4G General] tatnai:
when you take a phone to sprint for manufaterer's warranty, they typically do not take your phone from you to repair it, they order in a replacement (typically refurbished) and you keep your phone while awaiting it's arrival. when it comes in to the store, they call you, and you bring your phone in for a swap.

wasn't knocking the blow dryer, I would probably try that before getting a replacement.
[EVO 4G General] bsanti:
It sure does.
[EVO 4G General] Fixter:
This happened to me once with my iPhone 3GS and I pushed it on the left corner like what its happening to the Evo, and it did the EXACT same thing. If not more.
[EVO 4G General] Kshawn:
I honestly never find out about these defects until I surf a tech site. Now I'm all paranoid. -_-;

Just like those who had the dust under the glass issue with hero's I'm sure this will be fixed in the upcoming batches.

Hope so anyway.
[EVO 4G General] ReFLeX135:
Checked mine and it seems not to move under pressure, possibly a tiny bit... The light only leaks if I tilt the phone and I stare down under the black towards the buttons, not sure if this is what you guys are referring to as the light leaking. No button shines more than the other either.
[EVO 4G General] rahb0sse:
Damnit... I guess I'll attempt to have my phone replaced.
[EVO 4G General] scev5:
This is how mine is too. If i look at the screen from a top down angle i can see light on the displays. I also see i can move the screen a fraction of a millimeter if press down near the 4 home buttons, but i would have never thought it was a defect. Just seems like enough movement for a sensor to feel it or something.
[EVO 4G General] ejittles:
I have access to two Evos and neither one of these are leaking light around the bottom left corner (or any corner). They do give in the corners a little, not anymore than my iPhone 3G, however.
[EVO 4G General] EVOmaniac07:
Has anybody actually talked to Sprint or HTC? I want to know what they plan on doing about this. My screen also is coming loose not that much light leakage though. Also the battery cover doesn't snap on tight. I have a Google I/O phone, hardware version 2. I had problematic with the battery but once I changed it to cdma I have had no issues thus far. I hope they(sprint OR HTC) plans on doing something. Also, if you do take it back to Sprint you'll probably get a new. I doubt they have refurbished phones already. And if they did I think that would worry me. Good luck to all having issues. BTW I still love this phone.
[EVO 4G General] GHOST99K:
WOW everyday an issue comes up on the EVO,what is goin on?
[EVO 4G General] psn1819:
Preordered 06/10/10.But this doesnt change my mind in the least

I just preordered mine and im not really discouraged,maybe its just that one spot cuz ive been reading post on engadget,ppc geeks and it seems to be just the bottom.Ive always counted on HTC, I really hope they dont let us down by not fixing the Big 3 issues:Battery drains,30FPS capping and apparently now this glass separation thing..maybe its just the initial batch that came out on the 4th..idk im just guessing regauring the glass separation...THis phone kicks ass superphone and I dont think HTC is just gonna f*** us over because im pretty sure they will be met with a s***storm lol...i think phonearena and mobile crunch said something about like over 100,00 units and then some were sold just on the 4th,i think it would be wise that they address this issue immediately though...but come on you gotta admit though,other than s***

this phone is pretty awesome.
[EVO 4G General] eduardmc:
Dont make this an issue. I had big light leakage in 3 buttons. Read this and use my wife blowdryer for 20 seconds, held the top for 2 minutes until it felt cold now i have zero light leakage. Easy fix and no more getting crazy about minor things. Every device have. Flaw in first batch.
[EVO 4G General] ttieder:
I really love this phone got it first day it came out I have all the problems WiFi and light and the battery does do you think there going to recall the phone with all these problems I'm gong tomorrow to see if I can get a new one because the phone is sick and I had. Both nexus and iPhone
[EVO 4G General] skoobz:
Thanks.i was seriously contemplating on returning this and redoing root and stuff but damn, the hair dryer works.
[EVO 4G General] schmooo:
im sorry but having to apply a blow dryer to repair a brand new state of the art 4g 500 dollar phone is an issue for me.... if it comes loose on its own in a week im sure the blow dryer fix isnt going to cure this problem for long. htc get your **** together. this is suppose to be the current android flagship its looking more like the titanic... i knew i held onto my hero for a reason... i think ill return my evo and wait for the next dual snapdragon phone coming out in 6 months... the superdelicious
[EVO 4G General] neonsector:
all I gotta say is ilol
[EVO 4G General] Jus10o:
??? If you got it from sprint or at least from a major place with a warranty. Then you take it to them, they tell you to come back in an hour. The techs (usually stupid but not all) tell you its not fixable, but here is a brand new HTC Evo for you to take home since yours was unfixable. If you didnt get the warranty then why buy such of an expensive, new device without one (since most new electronics will have problems)?

Also if its anything like the htc hero, sprint techs usually wont touch the device and will just give you a new one.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
All of the new Evo have a 1 year warranty. Sprint will take care of you in the first year. Longer if you have TEP.
[EVO 4G General] blkswanpres:
Does the hairdryer fix remedy the problem completely, or is it something we would have to do from time to time?
[EVO 4G General] redrazr7791:
You and me both. Keeping my fingers crossed that when my phone comes in this week, I won't have any sort of major problems anytime soon.
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
First off, don't use a hair drury just return the thing and get a new one.

If you make a million of anything there are going to be some issues in production. If you can't handle that then stay away from new release devices. Every device, including the iphone had issues. Have you ever seen how busy the genius bar is?

Now stop whining like a bunch of 12 year old girls that just got their period. If you are unhappy take it back for a replacement or your money.

The iphone us a great device and so is the evo. You can't go wrong with either so pick one or the other.
[EVO 4G General] alan7467:
I'm curious if using a hair dryer or heat gun to get the glass to stick would be a permanent fix? Anyone with a N1 who's done this care to comment?
[EVO 4G General] ffolkes:
we'll see...i just did it 10 minutes ago. so far so good! usually pressing it down (cold) results in 30 seconds of looking good. so the fact that it still hasn't separated yet, shows the heat did *something* good.
[EVO 4G General] deekoi:
My bro has 002 hardware version and there are no problems there. I get mine today!
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
No screen issues at all with mine: either light seepage or glass separation.

As someone else pointed out, when you mass-manufacture, even at 99%, there will still be plenty of handsets with QC issues.
[EVO 4G General] rockdrummersrock:
right there with you. I definitely saw some improvement but I need to reseal some more. probably didn't hold down long enough.

held it under hairdryer on high for 2:30 and it definitely got the adhesive melted but I only really pushed it down for about 10-12 seconds. The bottom got crazy hot, feel like I need some oven mitts or something.

Will post after I try again later.
[EVO 4G General] psn1819:
Just spoke to Sprint a few Hrs ago.

I told them about the glass separation issue.The guy was a High rank manager, he says that no one has called about this issue and in fact when i directed him to the engadget post he said that he would pass it on to the CEO or Sprint distr. im hoping they really take care of this issue, i personally dont think its gonna go unanswered..but it seems that he heard about the whole 30FPS issue idk if that helps just saying though
[EVO 4G General] bob13bob:
if you use the 1 year warranty you get refurb phone. if you use 30day return you can get brand new one. ii would take hte iphone over the evo if i wanted att.
[EVO 4G General] kellte2:
I tried it, it melted my Invisible Shield glue (so that's messed up now) and after some initial improvement, we're back to normal with some light leakage. I hit it with heat for 2 minutes and held it for 5. The success story that I've seen involved a clamp from a hardware store. I'm not willing to go that far.
[EVO 4G General] phinnaeus:
Alright its my turn to feel like a noob. (whatever, though, ask me questions about root and I can help you... RL just trips me up)

So, um, if I got my phone from Radioshack do I go back to them or to the Sprint Store? Or to the Apple Store?
[EVO 4G General] onyx00:
I think the bigger issue here is that if you want to exchange the phone, most retailers are out. I was just told by Sprint customer service that if the retailer doesn't have the phone in stock, then you basically are out of luck and you would simply need to cancel your contract if you wanted that phone.

My glass looks like it is separating, and I am getting light leakage around the bottom buttons, but I imagine if I go back to Best Buy to exchange this phone, they will tell me they don't have any others in stock and it's too bad for me.
[EVO 4G General] stabs:
I have hardware version 0002 and my wife has version 0003.

My battery cover is more sparkly and textured.

My wife's is more flat black and has the bottom of her screen coming up and you can press and push it down.

Is it a known issue that hardware version 0003 is the one with the screen issue? Is there hardware version 0004?
[EVO 4G General] kellte2:
I wasn't aware that this problem had been isolated to such a specific level...
[EVO 4G General] rutter9:
Where do you find the hardware version at on the phone?

Nevermind I have found it. I also have 0002 and have none of the light leakage issues or anything.
[EVO 4G General] distortedloop:
I just noticed the light leakage and screen clicking on my EVO, right in the lower left corner as others have described. It wasn't there before this evening. Pretty clear the glass is separating from the body.

I've had it 13 days. I'm in the camp that expects a $500 product to not need me to hit it with a blowdryer hoping that will permanently fix a manufacturing defect. While I'm pretty handy with the solder gun and all that, I'm not going to go about "repairing" a 13 day old product.

I'll be calling Sprint (I ordered mine over the web) for a replacement ASAP - but this issue, along with the lack of 4G in my area of Los Angeles (yet), AND the fact that Sprint's 3G service seems to be suffering from major slowdowns since I had a EVDO card for my laptop are all leaving a pretty sour taste in my mouth over the EVO/Sprint combo. I may just cancel my account and return the phone.

It's a shame, because I have an iPhone 4 for testing, and, like I expected, the EVO & Android are much more satisfying than the iPhone 4, despite the beautifully crisp display on the new iPhone. The 3.5" is just too small to be happy with after having a Nexus One and an EVO.

The Galaxy S is starting to look very attractive.
[EVO 4G General] scev5:
ugh its an aesthetic inconvenience that none of you would have noticed if it wasn't brought up here. return the phone if you want but be aware the iphone 4 also suffers from light leakage.

your basically complaining about your new tires not keeping the little strings that poke out of them.
[EVO 4G General] akrod2as:
Have you seen the pics of what has happened to a few that have seperated? It's gone up so far you can stick a screw driver between the case and the glass. Give me a break, that is NOT normal.
[EVO 4G General] akrod2as:
Pretty sure I just jinxed myself hardcore. My LCD just simply decided to not display anything at all. Flashed back to stock, still nothing. Looks like I'm in the hunt for another evo. Emailed HTC, but with their last response to me regarding my issues I was having it seemed like they really didn't give a damn.
[EVO 4G General] distortedloop:
Ugh, yourself.

You're trolling, right? Does your phone have this problem? Have you actually seen it? Seen pictures on the web of it? If not, then you're speaking from ignorance. If so, and you find it acceptable, then good for you - you're exactly the kind of consumer that allows corporations to push poorly made products out the door because you accept the flaws and blame the consumers who don't, rather than the company that is selling a defective or poorly designed product.

It's not an "aesthetic inconvenience", it's an indication that the glass is separating from the rest of the phone, and you have to wonder how bad it will get in a couple of months if it goes from no separation to enough to feel loose and let light leak out in under two weeks. There's the risk of further separation, dust under the screen, etc. You want to put up with that on a >$500 phone, more power to you, but don't dismiss those who won't.

As far as the iPhone 4 suffering from light leakage - I haven't seen reports of that on the net (yet) and the one I have sitting on the desk next to my EVO has no light leakage. Granted, it's only 5 days old. My EVO started separating after 13 days. I know there were reports of light leakage on earlier iPhone models, but I have five iPhones (2-edge, 1-3G, 1-3G, 1-iPhone4) and none of them ever suffered from it; if they had, I'd have returned them, just as I will this EVO.
[EVO 4G General] PoisonWolf:
I would love to sell you my Evos, if you get my drift. ;)

I mean, you're exactly the kind of consumer I want! I can sell you $500 dollar products that are physically flawed and you'd still find a way to rationalize a reason to keep the phone! Amazing state of denial, you have.
[EVO 4G General] EVOmaniac07:
I have version 2 Google I/O phone, sparkly battery cover and I have separation issues.

Sent from my PC36100
[EVO 4G General] distortedloop:
You might want to rephrase that - "I have separation issues" sounds like you need counseling/therapy. LOL.

Your phone has the issues, not you. ;-)
