[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commodoor:
I fully agree with you all the apps just create folders on the root of the sd and when i plug it in the computer it's a mess.

Developers really need to use the folder Data, i don't care what's in the app folder but it's not nice to see them all on the root
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OutlawPro:
I agree. It's called lazy programming.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistadman:
I agree!

At the very least, applications should be forced to only write to a specific directory. I.E. .data, .app_data, etc. When cleaning my SD Card, it so hard to tell what's needed and what's not :-P
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DDM123:
I completely agree. It is a giant mess, and it's annoying scrolling through all that garbage to get to the few folders I actually use.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] berger34:
I'm selling my hero to a friend, and it's rooted. If I do a factory reset to get rid of all my personal stuff/numbers, will I lost root ? or the ROMs on my SD card ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nullie:
You can just do wipe from recovery image.

AFAIK factory reset is same thing.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Dan330:
i did a hard rest once... and I did not loose root.

But a full wipe in recovery.. will get rid of everything too. It will reboot.. with the last ROM, but no user data or records/google account info.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sebxd:
Just flash the official HTC rom ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dreamxcape1:
Hey guys

After rooting, I have villainROM on my htc hero. When official 2.1 comes out (rooted 2.1 ROM as update.zip), can I simply use the wipe and update from zip method from my recovery to install this new 2.1 ROM?

Do I have to downgrade to 2.73.405.5 using the goldcard method?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] AndroHero:
doing a hard reset from recovery will not loose you root :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] AndroHero:
you only had to downgrade when you rooted your device to flash a recovery image, new htc roms wont let you use flash rec to flash recoverys, when devs take official roms and root them, they take out htc newer recoverys and bootloaders :D so noooooooooooooooooooo u wont lol

On Every Open Up My Text Messages Takes About 10 Seconds Before It Lets Me Start Typing ..... Can Anyone Help?...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] spyrale:
it's a known issue of htc messaging client due to large number of stored sms. the only way to fix this is by deleting stored sms or upgrading to a custom rom with updated messaging client...or without this this last one :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] negawolf:
to speed up the opening...while it loads text message, click "send", it will show up warning, send blank message?, press no, than all messages will be loaded instantly
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Matthes42:
It´s a known issue if someone has many text messages.

Try to install the new messaging client and your issue will be gone. you can find it here:

Hey guys , i need some help here..

I dropped my Jasjam in the water , and now i've got a lot of problems :

1 - My Keyboard backlight sensor ain't working anymore , the keyboard is lit all time , this is really annoying and eating my battery , a fix , software , anything ?

2 - The Keyboard keys r going crazy , ex. when i press v it writes dv , when i press e it writes eg , when i press "space" it writes "c " , this is very annoying too coz i can't use it to write and i hate touch writing.

Both r hardware probs , i know , but maybe there is a software fix or something for the first prob.

Is there a way around prob 2 without opening the phone coz i can't do that , is there a way i can dry the water beneath the keys or something :(:(

BTW : i've tried hardreset , different roms , keyboard layout , etc. nothing worked.

Help Plzzzzz :(:(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] markusj:
I hope, you took the battery out as soon as it was possible...

Take it out again, and let it dry for a couple of days. It's still wet inside.

You might also use a hairdryer, but carefully, don't fry it!

If this doesn't help, you'll have to go to a store equipped with an ultrasonic cleaner.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] alkizmo:
Sorry mate but you'll really want to open that phone, especially the plastic cover.

You just need to find a torx screw driver with sizes between 1-5 [I forgot the specific ones you'll need] and a tiny frearson screw driver [that the + shaped hole].

Considering the age of the TyTN, it's probably no longer under warranty anyway.

Air drying without opening it can take months, seriously
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] medo_punsher:
Thanks all ,

Sadly , i didn't remove the battery at all.

I don't know if it's still wet , i mean the phone is working fine just the keyboard light and crazy keys problem.

Sadly too , i can't seem to find this screwdriver here in Egypt :(:(

And yes of course , the warranty is no more.

I may try the hairdryer , hope it works...

BTW : what plastic cover do u mean ??

Again thnx 4 help guys ...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jonteponte:
Ive fixed a few "wet" phones (even my own old tytn 1 that fell into a river) by turning it of as soon as possible, take everything apart(stylus, battery,sd-card etc) shake as until all visible water is gone and put it all into a bowl of rice. that has fixed 2 phones, the other 4(inluding my tytn 1) i had to disassamble totally(unscrew,take apart housing,disconnecting flatcables and so on) and then put all parts into a kitchentowel and then onto a plate and into my kitchenown on about 60 degrees celsius for few hours - assemble and voila =) truth be told, it dosnt always work but i just might.

good luck
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Orenk:
another way

remove your battery ASAP

Electric + water = corrosion

when this happened to me with mp3 player, I put it in the car for 3 days.

when parking in the outside, The car gets to 50-60 degree inside (Even more)

if your phone is in the car, it will dry, no damage will happen to it.

[Desire General] philje123:
That's brilliant news! Can't bloody wait!
[Desire General] wmh:
Brilliant, lets hope his word is good for it !!

Thanks for the info.
[Desire General] jonnobright:
Sent them the email cos I couldn't watch Vixen Videos on The Daily Star :D
[Desire General] MaTiCeK-:
I still wouldn't be too suprised if it doesn't come out at that time.

By now it's getting kind of a fail on Google's side that they teased us with Froyo mid may and still haven't officially released it even on the N1. I'm afraid Apple's iOS 4 will beat Froyo to the market. After iOS4 mass market will not care much for Android at least for another half year.

We have to keep our hopes high though, so hopefully in 2 weeks we'll be running Froyo.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
IF, and I say if, that's true then fair play HTC!!
[Desire General] veryjiggy:
I agree. I think if you don't release the update within a few weeks of announcing it publicly, it reflects very badly on your planning/preparation. And as much as I hate Apple, I think they are pretty good at these things, while Google clearly has a long way to go. If they do screw up with Froyo, Android's dreams of catching up with iPhone in terms of market share would remain dreams for a long long time.
[Desire General] Aitese:
Ah, so it begins. The rumour of the 23rd of June is now being pushed back by another two weeks before we even get to the 23rd.

Can we stop this? In just under two weeks someone will receive another email pushing it back another few weeks, and again, and again and so on.

Until HTC say "It'll be out on this date" this emailing customer service nonsense should just stop.
[Desire General] veryjiggy:
It says 'within the next two weeks'. ;-)

Chill dude.
[Desire General] rovex:
Last time i checked the 23rd was in the next 2 weeks. OTA updates are rarely on the same date for everyone for a number of reasons, so an exact date may not be possible.
[Desire General] Aitese:
Well, see you all in three weeks for the customary self induced *****fest. People need to stop attention seeking.
[Desire General] MaTiCeK-:
Yes, but once somebody here has it, everybody here has it. Or so I hope...
[Desire General] jonnobright:
I emailed customer service because I wanted to know if they had a fix for embedded flash not working, not to find out if there was an update coming, just thought I'd share the reply.

within the next 2 weeks includes the 23rd as far as my calender goes btw and they'd be stupid to update all desires on the same day - the network stress would be ridiculous!
[Desire General] jonnobright:
Ack, can't be bothered
[Desire General] tommo123:
i mailed htc when i saw this thread and got a denial in return :(
[Desire General] rovex:
Not over the air. How many desires have seen sold? Have a guess and multiply it by the 150MB or so of the update and see why not everyone will get it on the same day..

Personally im waiting for cooked Froyo Desire ROMs. Im sure the stock one will be nice, but i want FULL A2SD.
[Desire General] sajcobitsj:
Some of you guys need to get a life! Continue with your life without *****ing around and when the update eventually comes, you'll see it. Those people at the helpdesk in HTC HQ are just people like you and me trying to do their job. They're told what to and (and more specific) what NOT to say.

So hold your horses, quit *****ing and bothering them, they're no gods, they're just lads trying to earn their beer.

Once the update is READY, you'll all see it flashing on your screen.

Thank you.
[Desire General] tommo123:
is there no way to just host it online and have it downloaded over regular internet?

i'm imagining it being like flashing the firmware of a dvdwriter or something.

would make it faster by a long shot and not impact the 3g network
[Desire General] refelian:
This reply does kind of fit in the other leaks about froyo on the Desire. Namely end of June.

Off course until we actually have it on our phones it remains a question whether or not they can deliver in a timely fashion (unlike other htc android handhelds)

But the regular slips of htc support seem promising
[Desire General] tuatha:
Write back and ask him if he's sure about that estimate, and that other HTC reps have denied it. :)

See what he says.
[Desire General] tuatha:
Yeah Terry is rubbish.

This is the last reply I got from him (her?)

Dear xxxxxxxxxx Thank you for contacting us. In regards to emails I can help you with that. Thank you for the feedback. I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required. Thank you for contacting HTC. Best regards, Terry

That's not even an answer!
[Desire General] Sillysod:
Lol, you win there, at least Terry told me he didn't know but hoped that helped, that he didn't...

[Desire General] XDA mark:
I may be talking non sense here, but maybe I can help.

You guys remember there was an update just as the Desire started rolling out in the UK (it was very limited). Many sites posted "HTC Desire already gets its first OTA update". I think that this is that update. Dont know if you guys already figured that out or not, but at least I tried to help ;P

[Desire General] LBTaylor1984:

perhaps the 23rd is the announcement date? I speculate
[Desire General] tommo123:
oh god, pls let it be true. screw froyo, just a way to make apps2sd work would do me

i am soooo close to rooting my phone is squealing (that just sounds wrong)
[Desire General] TheGoD:
Sounds logical.

BTW, in my opinion a little bit dumb of Htc to first announce the update would come sometime in the second half of the year given everybody a headache when they actually will be ready to ship it a mounth after i/o...
[Desire General] alio993:
I'm not trying to put a downer on this, i'd like to get the update tomorrow as much as anyone else. But surely the fact that even google hasn't decided upon a final release candidate for the nexus one (link to article here) means it's pretty unlikely that HTC have managed to put Froyo on the desire with sense in time to release it tomorrow. And surely google would have started tyring to put it on the nexus one way before any other manufacturers.

Unless google have organised a big Froyo release tomorrow where all of the manufacturers release it at the same time? Could be possible considering the launch of the new Motorola phone tomorrow with people from adobe.
[Desire General] veryjiggy:
Can we sue Zdnet if the update doesn't come out in the next 2weeks? :p
[Desire General] Judge584:
Adobe official statement:

Already one of the top free apps on Android™ Market today, Flash Player 10.1 will be available as a final production release for smart phones and tablets once users are able to upgrade to Android 2.2 “Froyo.” Devices supporting “Froyo” and Flash Player 10.1 are expected to include the Dell Streak, Google Nexus One, HTC Evo, HTC Desire, HTC Incredible, DROID by Motorola, Motorola Milestone, Samsung Galaxy S and others. Flash Player 10.1 was also released to mobile platform partners to be supported on devices based on Android, BlackBerry, webOS, future versions of Windows® Phone, LiMo, MeeGo and Symbian OS, and is expected to be made available via over-the-air downloads and to be pre-installed on smart phones, tablets and other devices in the coming months.

[Desire General] veryjiggy:
Unlikely we would get anything tomorrow. It is still in the hands of google. And here we are speculating HTC would give us the update tomorrow. Blah!

http://www.androidcentral.com/latest-froyo-build-isnt-final-you-already-knew-right#comments
[Desire General] Whiterin:
That could be rather interesting...though I don't know how likely it is. I suppose it is a possibility since it would basically just be Motorola and HTC. I don't think Samsung has any phones out currently that are meant to get 2.2, unless the new Galaxy is out. Even so, we will still have to wait a while after it is released for our carriers to release it I think. I hope it doesn't take Telstra too long... if it takes more then a few days I may actually consider flashing a basic rom onto it and updating.
[Desire General] ljesh:
http://techcrunch.com/2010/06/21/iphone-4-pre-order-delivery/

This sounds fun :))))

Apple now will start to deliver iPhone 4 on 23rd, instead of 24th. Looks like tomorrow will/may be an interesting day :)
[Desire General] LBTaylor1984:
while not pinning much on that, I feel both companies have been tight lipped on release dates as to steal the thunder from one another. Now I'm pretty doubtful will here anything tomorrow, and I really wouldn't be surprised if nothing happens at all on the 23rd. But if Google and Apple went head to head I would love to see the fallout from it tomorrow. iAds has already taken the fight to Google by banning them from it, and I feel that Google want to ruin launch day for Apple.

So while I remain in the 'when it comes, it comes' camp if tomorrow I wake up to 2.2 I will be rubbing it in iPhone 4 customers as i'll have Flash 10.1 if not meh lol.

O and before I forget, people are saying that google haven't finished with 2.2 so HTC won't have even started etc, but how about if it's a double bluff, and Google HTC, and the others are actually totally ready, and just waiting to flick the switch? theres been alot of negativity in this thread about HTC dragging feet, but what if there throwing you a blind? how would that be for a plot twist lol.
[Desire General] GANJDROID:

Just a little fun: I have just mailed HTC about the inability to browse flash-website and to play flash video contents.(of course I already know the answer).

Here is there answer:

Hi, (bla bla bla...) please go to the android market and download flash player!!!

What a poor answer, because:

-adobe flash player is not on the market (at least for me)

-even if it was, how to install it without froyo??? (this is of course impossible)

So...I think HTC support is one of the poorest on earth. And i start to wonder if they take customers for idiots...

Please note: i'm not complaining about update delays, just about poor answers.

EDIT: just posted a reply with one question: how to install 10.1 flash player (only compatible with Androïd 2.2) on HTC Desire which is on Androïd 2.1?

-->Sure the answer will be fun, still waiting for it.
[Desire General] abc27:
I may be clutching at straws but they take all their answers from standardised answer sheets.

Maybe, just maybe this has been updated in advance for a FroYo release tommorrow.
[Desire General] veryjiggy:
Haha. I think Android fans are going to be very very angry tomorrow when no announcement of FroYo takes place, let alone a release. :(

And I really don't think Google has the ability to 'surprise' us. Thats more an Apple thing tbh. Each one of Google's announcements regarding FroYo was known even before the I/O happened.
