i had a message thread at about 2300 messages. took about 5min to delete, i recommend just letting the phone do it's thing and tell it to wait when it asks to force close. I got 2-3 FC notifications when I deleted that thread.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ratchetrizzo:
yeah i did that and it worked

its just annoying that it does that.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] i0nicx:
it happened on my cliq as well. i guess the messaging app wasn't setup to handle a large amount of messages. or the app isn't coded well?

who knows, its annoying, but what ya gunna do?

I had the same problem. I'll try just letting it sit there.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmonfu:
Hi all

I just got a new HTC Desire last week and I can say that I am quite impressed with what's on it. The best smartphone I have ever owned.

Now I already had an HTC HD and I used to root the device, just to get WM 6.5 at the time.

My question is, what's the worth of rooting the device and getting a new ROM, other than the one out of the box? I am seeing some people having 7 screens instead of 5, and quite some nice apps installed. Is there any other benefits of having a custom ROM?

Is it difficult to Root the device without any problems?

Thanks for your help and time
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GANJDROID:
With rooting you can get FroYo, which would be the equivelant of you rooting for win 6.5

The home screens will either be stock launcher, or a home app from the market, which are both available on 2.1

There used to be a huge problem with usb bricking, but now everything seems to be a lot easier

Hope this helps :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
I think you should remember that everyone was once a 'Noob' as you call them.

Your post was a useless waste of space to be honest. Yes this thread should be in general, but your post simply having a go at the OP was hardly the best use of the forum and it's etiquette either.

@ the OP. If you just want 7 screens etc then you don't actually need to root. You could download a launcher from the market, such as launcherpro, or adw launcher. Most apps will work without root too.

Rooting is actually very easy to do now. Read the thread at the top of this forum. It has links to tutorials etc.

Hey guys

Thanks for all your help.

jsoneng, as I said I am a complete newbie to these things, and maybe I am not intelligent as you are in these things, but I am a foreigner who speaks way better English than you do. If all the posts were like yours, I am sure there would be no forum here, since I am sure everybody was once were I am at the moment. I just want to learn about Android and my new Desire, and this forum is an impressive resource.

As regards to getting help from you, I doubt I would even understand your first hello, let alone to root my device!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djoni1980:
I had 7 phones since 1999, I bought my first smartphone in 2004 (old nokia 6600 :) ), but I never used android phones before, and it's really complicated imo to learn how to deal with different roms, radios, debrand, root, unlock, flash, add app2sd... :eek:

so far I managed to create gold card, root phone, use fake flash and flash rooted 1.21 version. I'm still preparing mentally to add app2sd (since froyo is nowhere near :( ).

As for your question jmonfu, here are few advantages of rooting and custom roms:

- you could add app2sd, which allows you to store apps on sdcard, instead in phone memory. This, in my opinion, is the main disadvantage of android 2.1

- you could tweak your hardware and software settings for better performance (for example - overclock cpu, prolong battery life, free up some memory, speed up your phone etc. )

- add some apps that were unavaiable before, use your phone as an internet access point, to connect from your pc via wifi, etc.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgrec92:
lmao, beautifully said! :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmonfu:
Hi djoni1980, these are the kind of answers I was looking for from this post, thanks a lot.

From all the things that you mentioned, the only thing I would admit to really need at the moment is the app2sd, because I am installing so many applications that my phone ran out of space and had to delete some stuff, which really sucks. As regards to overclocking or prolonging the battery life, yeah that would be useful too but its not a must at the moment.

I will have a read of the first post this weekend, and see if it would be worth to root a device that is 6 days old :)

When you say the device is 'bricked' it means that its not repairable right?

Thanks for all your help guys

[Desire General] korokor:
Hi

Not sure what I've done here but I don't seem to be able to backup/restore using Rom Manager anymore.

I backed up my vanilla rom earlier then loaded r17 from Modaco. However, if I try to backup, restore or load a rom the device reboots and then I just get an image of a phone with a red triangle and exclamation mark on the screen.

I've tried re-installing ROM Manager and tried with different roms. I've also booted up with the back button held down and chose Recovery with the same result.

If I take the battery out it reboots into r17 OK, but I want my original rom back, I'm finding r17 is a little sluggish in comparison.

Any ideas?
[Desire General] rolfd:
When you get to the screen with red triangle, press volume up and power. This will take you to a blue recovery screen. Use volume to scroll to apply update.zip. then press power.

This should boot you into the clockwork recovery that is included in rom manager. When in there you will see an option for nandroid. This is your backup. Select nandroid then restore.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D_Ratio:
Hello, i'm new to the android OQ. and never had a smartphone before so this is my first (HTC Desire). That's why i have a couple of questions.

1. Is there a possibility to Completely remove the HTC Sense Interface? So i just want a homescreen like the Nexus One. I heard that the Sense is slower than the standard homescreen.

2. Is there a guide out there to optimize your HTC Desire. So for example, how to configure your settings, deleting processes that run in the background. To get a fast phone (it's already fast i know) etc..

Thx in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
If you want to be completely rid of sense you need to root and install a custom rom. If you are happy to have sense still there but a nicer interface, then you can install a launcher from the market. My favourite is ADW Launcher. This will give you 7 home screens, remove icon labels, choose how many rows and columns of icons you want per screen etc.

As far as optimizations go.. Just play with it and install stuff! Android handles all the background running processes by itself. Some people will suggest a task killer, but there is lots of evidence from many sources, including google, that a task killer will actually shorten battery life.

If you really want speed, then root and install a custom froyo rom with a custom kernel that allows you to overclock the processor!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexkingcn:
dont overclock if u want to use ur battery a little longer

1ghz i think its enought
[HD2 General] Fishawy:
I've searched everywhere with no solution for this. My wired headset has a very loud music volume, but when I make/receive a call, the conversation voice is way too low that I can barely hear it (no mic problems though, because the other party hears me clearly).

Any ideas?
[HD2 General] Fishawy:
Anybody ? :)
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
with respect to the headset ,

1. the htc headset that comes with the hd2 is of very bad quality so don't use it

2. when talking to some one pres volume up and a volume controller will appear , adjust it ,it is low by default just put it to the max , it is a hidden controller not adjustable except during doing a call.

i also answered it on our group for general help
[HD2 General] harddisk_wp:
actually, the headset is quite good. the problem is the jacks driver. its output voltage is higher than allowed, many cheapo headsets and FM transmitters do not like this and overdrive then.
[HD2 General] Fishawy:
I have to agree that the headset is quite good, because the music volume is rocking-n-rolling, also the headset's microphone has a good voice quality, as the other party hears my voice loud-n-clear. The problem is - and only is - with the very low conversation volume.

This is kinda frustrating, lol
[HD2 General] Fishawy:
Hmmm .. Bump!
[HD2 General] Fishawy:
Bump again :s
[HD2 General] ray.rich:
Have you tried the 2nd hint of hoss_n2?
[HD2 General] Fishawy:
Yea, with no use. Again, the problem isn't with the System volume .. Music volume through the headset is greatly loud, it's just the other party's voice during a call :s
[HD2 General] Fishawy:
Alright, just found out that call volume using wired headset is working perfectly while running Android. Glad it's not a hardware/headset issue.

Mods, you may close the thread now.
[HD2 General] Redeyedrichard:
After updating my ROM and reinstalling all my contacts, email, etc using SPB backup, how can I get all my footprints back?

Whenever I use ROM update mode in SPB it ends up messing up my messages screen, or my phone in general.

Any ideas?
[HD2 General] MalekoUK:
U need to export your footprints before you hard reset...

You do that via the foorprints page...
[HD2 General] Redeyedrichard:
Ah, thanks for that...perhaps should have done that before the hard reset. What a pain. Must remember to do that. I can't be bothered doing a full restore just to have to update the ROM again for a few footprints...at least those awesome moments are lodged in my memory.

Thanks mate
[HD2 General] elburna:
No ROM Update mode. Just restore the folder Application Data\htc\footprints (Yes, the whole folder). If this doesnt work (what i dont think), restore databases as well (these are all *.vol files)
[HD2 General] Redeyedrichard:
haha success. I don't even know why I didn't think about doing that. Must have been having a brain dead day. lol.

Excellent advice and thank you heaps. IT WORKED.

Hate to say this:

You have a HID Keyboard, byt you need a SIP Keyboard, like the Freedom Universal.

The you have to get a good BT driver.
[Desire Accessories] seiyachan:
What I find out :

HTC uses old bleutooth stack with its Sense UI and I failed to connect my ThinkOutside keyboard with several successful solutions for other android phone.

Now I am very happy typing with it on my Desire with the OpenDesire ROM. It recognizes it and connect with it straight away and even some of the function keys works (tho not yet for the task specific keys).

But have to give up Sense UI for that. But I find that it's pretty fast to just restore to another ROM with Sense and I can get best of both worlds.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] powlesY:
Am i meant to charge it full before i turn it on for the first time?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DaRkMyk:
I was also told to charge for 4 hours.. but it is no longer needed for Li-Ion,Li-poly batteries.. even the user manual doesn't say anything about initial charging..

Page 12 of the user manual..

"When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is

no longer moving), unplug the travel adapter from the

device and then from the power outlet."
[Galaxy S I9000 General] powlesY:
Hmm, thanks. Can anyone verify that i don't need to charge it for 8 hours or whatever before turning it on?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
I got it yesterday and I just put it on charge and after a few minutes I turned it on and started using it and honestly battery life is great so far so imagine that, if it's good from the beginning then after 1-2 weeks it will be amazing!

just use it anytime you want, keep it on charge if you want while using it, nothing bad will happen.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kenkiller:
Just charge it till full....switched on or off is up to ya.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davesters81:
Hey, I am new to this forum, but just go the EVO (first Android phone) and loving it maybe too much. I'm also working on a couple of games which I hope to share soon.

Anways, I got mine on the 4th since I pre-ordered it a couple weeks in advance from Best Buy. I have been lucky to not have any of the problems others have been having, but something I just noticed recently, and only in the Market, but this could be because it is a mainly white screen that you stay on for long periods while browing apps so it is easier to notice.

The screen seems to randomly fade slightly darker and then back to normal, but slowly. I don't mean the regular screen idle fade because I have mine set to 10 minutes. I will be scrolling, and then the screen will just fade slightly and then in like 5-10 seconds will go back to normal, and then fade again in a couple minutes.

Not a big deal as sometimes it's hard to notice, but just wondering if anyone else has noticed this and if there is anything that can be done about it.

Thanks!

Screen fading in and out/Flickering

Hello fellow XDA'ers

I am experiencing a similar problem. My screen fades in and out and flickers.

I unchecked the Auto Brightness option. The screen did become a bit brighter. But this did not resolve the issue. The fading in and out and flickering continues.

If any of you fellow XDA'ers have experienced this and know of a solution, would you be so kind as to share your solution.

Thanks so much

Just wanted to say that after switching to an Alltel PRL, I've incurred about 500MB of data roaming. No charges for it or anything, but I'm switching back to a Sprint one.

[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Aww man, don't get me started here LOL.

I had US Cellular at used too much data (Strictly on the phone, no tether)on one of their unlimited BB plans - They dropped me like an ugly baby and said I had breeched my contract and owed them 300 bucks. Attorney said I was SOL because they have some legal crap in their contract that states that if they deem you as a risk to their network they could cancel your account with you being held responsible...

BS! /endrant
[Hero CDMA General] Nextelian:
I have a feeling that if they discover that you used an Alltel PRL to engage in illegal roaming that your contract will be terminated with a VERY large bill. :D
[Hero CDMA General] bcarter2000:
Well technically you would be a risk to Verizon's network, not Sprint's. since you wouldnt be using their network.

Hi,

when I started this project i wanted to make an appstore for Windows Mobile where everyone can upload and download apps without paying anything.

Now thats the result:

​

Whats the idea of the XDA Market?

There is already an appstore for Windows Mobile (MS Marketplace) BUT you have to pay money in order to publish your apps.

So I started developing the XDA Market. Everything here is for free. I want to give developers the possibility to get much user and much feedback, without paying.

Developers

-Upload your own apps for everyone without paying anything.

-Everyone can access and download your app without the need of a registration.

-Publish updates through xda market: Be sure everyone will get them.

-Detailed download statistic.

[-Custom url feature.]

Users

-Browse through apps for your device.

-Rate, comment and download them.

-Favorite apps and never miss an update.

-Share apps you like with the rest of the world

Working on

-Rom hosting feature

-Windows Phone 7 client

-PC client

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

News

-Rom hosting feature will be added soon

!!Feel free to upload all freeware apps you found !!

The Download for the Client and much more can be found here:
