[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty1q:
Thanks guys for all posts.

Regarding call recording - people complain that u can record only your voice, the other side is missing or very quiet.

Can u send me a link call recording program on Desire? Cant find any.

Do I need to flash Desire or current software for O2 UK is fine?

Cheers
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Depends if you like the customisations O2 make to their phones. Personally, I always get phones SIM-free when upgrading (from CPW, P4U, etc) as you can then get updates straight from HTC as opposed to waiting on the operator...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spritable:
Yesterday I sold my HD2 and got a Desire. Android is much better, fluent and nice looking OS that Windows Mobile.

You questions:

- since I can't use google navigation in Bulgaria I have to search for other options. I found that iGO has a version for Android. It's called iGO My Way - http://www.igomyway.com/android/en/overview.html. I haven't tried it yet, but I will when I have some free time this weekend. As far as I know it uses the maps form iGO, so if you were happy before with iGO, you should be with my way also.

- about the battery life - I can't tell you since I didn't used it enough time, but it's been 8 hours since the full charge and now the battery is on 70%. During that time I've installed 3-4 apps, at least 10 minutes of browsing, 10 minutes of talk time. Compared to the HD2 - with that time since a full charge and this usage, now it would be at 50%.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danbst:
I've had desire for almost a week now, like all new things I've had a good play and enjoyed it for the most part.

It's fair to say if you are mad in love with all the cr@ppy apps Android wins hands down.

However, as a phone the rom scene on Desire doesn't come close to HD2. Leo's Energy roms in particular are simply amazing the Dinik Glass Cookie mod is pure pleasure and has a beautiful interface absolutely knocks any desire rom I've seen into the long grass. The bigger screen may not be amoled but I find it more comfortable. I have all the Sat Nav apps for PPC and as a rule they all destroy Iphone/Android counterparts. Igo works on the Desire but it's slightly more of an ar$e to get working WELL.

As a phone personally (I've owned them all) I think HD2 wins over both Desire and Iphone 3GS. If you are an app man it slips to last place despite having superior Sat Nav (because thats almost all it does have). So far for me the Iphone is in last place bacause I detested it TBH. I know you're not asking about the Iphone but thought I'd share my thoughts on hod the HD2 compares to my last 3 phones.

This is based solely on the fact a hundred variations of iFart style apps and nice looking but ultimatly hard to control games do nothing for me.

I still have my HD2 and I think as a measure of how much I prefer it I think it will be my tool of choice for my forthcoming holiday. I'm using the Desire day by day at the mo but haven't decided if I'll keep it yet.

Which one do I keep HD2 or Desire?

Done keeping Desire, on o2 in Uk it comes supplied with some satnav software.

Not tried it much but seems very well with turn by turn voice guidance.:cool:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spritable:
Thanks for pointing that out. I will have a look right away...

BTW, I found a WVGA version of iGO for the Desire. It's called iGO Motonav and it uses the iGO 8.3 maps and has a nice GUI.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grantzxr:
I have both hand sets battery for me far better on the HD2 with a good rom and radio and to be honest any of those kind of tweeks are far easyer on the windows phone.

copilot works realy well on both hand sets

i think there are .cab , .apk on both phones if you wantd to record calls
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty1q:
Having spent a week searching for any calls recorder on Desire, my conclusion is - you can't record calls on Desire. This is essential for my job, so I will buy another HD2 then.

Any idea about Dell Streak? The same questions for the first post.

Thanks for all answers

After painfully occupying my entire weekend getting my Incredible Rooted, the ONLY thing I did was add the WiFi Tether. That was my sole purpose in Rooting.

I did not remove anything. I did not change anything. ONLY loaded the WiFi tether.

Now, I have issues with my phone randomly rebooting.

My phone will show signal but fail to place or receive calls. "Call Failed"

Sometimes when a call comes in, the other side can hear me but I cannot hear them.

My internet connection is sketchy now, facebook photo uploads show success but are blank (red X box) when I or anyone tries to view them.

The Kingston 8GB MicroSD card I originally had in was blown an hour after rooting rendering it not even recognizable in any system (losing a ton of data which is fortunately backed up). Thank goodness for their lifetime warranty.

Finally, I have had to reboot the phone several times due to lock ups.

I did not have a single one of these issues before. WiFi Tether is handy but not worth it if this is the result.

Anyone else having issues Post-Root?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rynosaur:
I have had a couple of slow downs and random reboots, but I chalked it up to setCPU and the fact that I have 200 applications installed, some of them old, with about 25 resident processes.

However, the phone is still 10x more reliable than my G1 was with the most reliable modded firmware and fewer programs. When I cross the bone stock/modded line, I know I'm on my own and stability losses aren't my biggest concerns.

Long story short, I have no answers for you, but without scrutinizing the su, busybox, symlink commands for sources of instability, I would venture that Wireless Tether is a prerelease, and earlier versions of it caused my G1 problems too! :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compnird:
Thanks, I may just end up removing it to see if it resolves my issues. Most have to do with my wireless radio so that makes sense. I didn't correlate the application to the hardware-like issues so I'll be mindful of that now.

Thanks for your 2 cents, it has earned interest. :)

I was having rebooting and freezing up issues before root. Replaced the Sense launcher with Helix 2 and problems disappeared.

Been rooted for several days now with fairly heavy usage, and the phone has been VERY stable...

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihtfp69:
if you want to know why it is rebooting, run logcat and wait for it to reboot. You will see what actually crashed in the log. If you don't want to troubleshoot then just use the ruu to put your phone back to stock. It will erase everything and you will have to root again, but it will fix your phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdriese:
I had a random reboot this morning...dont really attribute it to root though because phone would occassionally do this anyways when signal is shaky. If it persists, I will check logcat and see whats the dealio. Other than that, so far loving having root with no problems, ready for the custom ROMS.

Oh I tried the Stericson busybox installer and get failed message. Installed upgraded busybox through titanium backup.

Suggestion

Not that anyone would really read down this far BUT if you are experiencing problems can you also please make sure to include ONE thing in your post:

DID YOU REMOVE ANYTHING?

I am guessing from the thread that people who didn't remove things aren't experiencing problems.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JTCGiants56:
I haven't had any of the problems you've experienced let alone even heard of other people experiencing this. I'm almost certain you messed something up during the root process. Re-root the phone by following the 10 minute instruction video posted here on how to root and everything should be fine.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CDODGE:
I started having this issue a few weeks ago but mine isnt realted to root. I wish HTC could figure out how to fix it.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jitajt:
I removed friendstream, footprints, peep, stocks, city id, and facebook (not htc facebook), and I have no problems, it runs just as good or better. when I did this the first time I removed vz backup assistance and htcfacebook in addition to the aforementioned and I was having lag problems big time. I had to reflash to stock and started over.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wpbear:
So I used manual root with cmd line and also tried the Windows easy way. Both said it completed and I installed WiFi tether but both ways gave errors when trying to remove cityid and then when I reboot I tried WiFi tether it gave no internet access even the adhoc was connected. It also took 2 hrs to get in the second time to try re-root. This sucks!!!

Are you guys that are having issues deleting anything besides CityID? Because that may be the problem. If you just rooted, without deleting anything or installing anything besides busybox, su, and superuser, you should not have any problems...

p.s. problem free here.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wpbear:
I get the revoked blah blah successful but I think the problem is that it says error on the system su command. I think the WiFi issue is fixed. My SD card android.tether somehow got deleted.

I experienced one spontaneous reboot since rooting this morning. However, I also had one a few days ago prior to doing anything.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compnird:
I removed nothing when I was having the problems. I went back in and deleted a bunch of superfluous applications I didn't use any longer and did a *228 option 2 update of the local radios. Haven't had the voice issues at all this week but have had a few random reboots. Otherwise issues have cleared up.

I also got the official Swype from Swype, No more hacked and skinned version. That may have been part of the problem because the previous version had expired and I was still using the keyboard function.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bearmacerick:
Everything seems to be working pretty well. I didn't remove anything. I rooted, added wifi tether, shootme, and lamppu. The only problems I've so far are...

1. when I install apps, the phone kinda locks up for a second while it's installing. it goes away literally after like 1 or 2 seconds, but my phone never did that before. Not a big deal at all.

2. I just had a random reboot. It's been about 24 hours. It has happened occasionally before... maybe like 2 or 3 times since I got it at launch. Might not be related, but it's a possibility.

Other than that, It's totally fine. I'm still glad I did it and I'm loving it! I can't until there are custom rom's for us
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanmcd72:
I have had one spontaneous reboot BEFORE rooting but after two days of being rooted, not one issue. I removed Cityid, Footprints, Friendstream, Calculator. I did do a hard reset after finishing root and removing the apps.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ffej5647:
This root screwed up my phone soo badly! Ever since root, I can not get WiFi and mms and people both force close immediately so pretty much everything i use my incredible for never even work anymore! And what really sucks is no matter what i cant get adb in recovery again to fix it and reflash the root....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnchattan:
Could these issues be caused by injecting the payload update too late and interrupting the official OTA patch mid-stream?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KB Smoka:
Hard reset....That fixed it for me.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hepæstus:
Thoughts...

Removing some seemingly unrelated HTC apps can break other areas of the phone, at least that was the case is the Eris, but since the framework is more our less the same it should still apply to the Inc.

I remember removing Footprints would screw up navigation for instance...

I get a one ring ring on incoming phone calls about 1 per 45 calls. Only when held horizontal and when not being touched. I turned off the silence ringer on tilt setting and it didn't help. only app i removed was cityid. before removal city id had expired but i would get periodic info on my screen from the id like it was still working after expiration.

I wanted to add that I fixed my problems with calendar syncs by going into Settings>Applications>Manage Applications and then I cleared data in both Calendar Storage and the HTC Calendar.

What do you mean by 'hard reset'? I'm having the same FC issues with Accounts & Sync. I powered off my phone using the power button and then removed the battery just in case for about a minute. Can you reset harder than this?

[EVO 4G General] Krynj:
Yes, I know. We're all sick of these battery threads. But I just came across something I wanted to share with you all.

Before I continue: I don't use any task killers. And I've read every battery trick thread on here and on Android Forums, so I've done it all. The CDMA fix. Rooting and using OCWidget. Charging it to 100%, turning it off, and then cycling the charge with the phone in the off state. And of course, disabling every data hungry app plus setting screen brightness to 50%. This is my 3rd Android phone, so it's definitely not my first rodeo.

So last night I was using my Evo as it was on the charger. I was browsing the web, and checking out some new apps in the market, so the screen was on for quite a while. I took my Evo off the charger, did some heavy texting, some browsing, Facebook, Twitter, etc, etc, and about 5 hours later I was at 80%. I then put it on the charger, and went to bed.

Fast forward to this morning: Took it off the charger, sent a few texts, and I'm down to 95% within minutes. Of course this frustrated me, since last night I went an hour before it even dropped to 99%. It'll be getting some heavy use today, so the last thing I want to do is leave the house with my battery in the 80% range. I put it back on the charger, and resumed normal usage. Some texting, Facebook, Movies app, Netflix app. Eventually the charging light goes green again. Took it off the charger an hour ago, did some texting, stayed connected to WiFi,and I'm still at 100%. Whereas earlier this morning it dropped 5% in minutes under the same use.

Scratched my head for a second, and remembered that my phone was on and in use while charging last time, before I took it off and got great battery life.

So now, I've set it so my Evo's screen stays on while charging. I also use the Power Control widget to increase the screen brightness to 100% while charging. And then once it's off the charger, just drop it to 50%.

To keep the phone awake while charging:

Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development -> And then tap the check box next to 'Stay awake'.

Not saying this is guaranteed to work, and I have no rational explanation as to how this works, but it's definitely helping me. I'm going to do some testing and report back on a few things.
[EVO 4G General] persibro:
I think you might be on to something. I recently had an experience where my batter was around the 60% mark, I plugged it into my computer for about 30mins - 1hr and somehow it managed to charge to 100% battery in that short time span. Needless to say, the battery drained pretty quickly until it reached some stable point. I'll try the charge with screen on thing when I get a chance.
[EVO 4G General] Young_e:
as odd as this sounds, i have notice the same thing when using my phone while on the charger then taking it off. I use screen cast when i'm at work, so my phone is always plugged into the computer. Once i leave work for the day my phone is usually fully charged or about 80% with moderate usage my phone is usually around 60-70% when i lay down to go to bed. Now on the weekened when i charge my phone overnight, the following day with moderate to heavy usage my battery drops to like 50% within a hour to a hour in a half. So i plug it in while texting or browsing, and when it get fully charged the battery seems to take 3-4 hours to get to 50% with moderate to light use. Weird
[EVO 4G General] Krynj:
I've currently enabled every bell and whistle on my Evo so I can speed up the battery drain. I'm making note of the voltage reading at each percentage (via Battery Indicator), and then I'm going to charge it back up with the screen off to compare these numbers.
[EVO 4G General] gianmarco00:
I think the issue isn't the charging with the screen on. I think there may be a "bug" that, when the phone hits full charge, it doesn't continue to charge but instead starts using the phone battery. Thus, when you charge at night, it's fully charged for a while, you start using it in the morning and it quickly drops to whatever has already been used (~94-95%). But, if you charge it and take it off soon after the light turns green, then it's fully charged and you're getting the full 100%.

I think there's a problem with the trickle charging.
[EVO 4G General] xviiivx:
My testing confirms this theory. I put mine on the charger after work, and the light was green when I went to bed.. the next morning when I unplugged it, it dropped to 90% within a few minutes. Everytime I've unplugged it right after the green light comes on, it stays on 100% for at least 15-20 minutes of use.
[EVO 4G General] izzystylez:
That explanation sounds accurate, so instead of doing all this it might b a simple tweak to not have this trinkle effect happen
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
It was mentioned in another thread that "trickle charge" gives the battery a better deeper charge. Perhaps a 500 or 700 mah charger will do the trick instead of risking a screen burn.
[G1 General] wcdisciple:
I've managed to create a time displacement device. Capable of breaking down sub atomic particles and reassembling them in a predetermined location, based on data entered, referencing month, day and year.

This is possible because antimatter reactions produce blasts of high energy gamma rays that heat as they decay into non-radioactive materials. Now, because I normally use energon cubes as an energy source and run out of the raw materials used to create said energy source, I'd like to know if I can power my time machine with the battery from my G1. :eek:

No sorry, you're going to have to stick to energon cubes, though it may be possible to convert some other antimatter containment device to fit your mechanism.
