Yes, blurry. You lose the sharpness of the image in addition to a decrease in the overall luminance transferred to your eye. And not to mention the rainbow diffraction effect.

Matted displays basically make our 580 dollar AMOLED investment look like a high resolution gameboy advance color. That's what I feel about it anyways.

So far the only CLEAR screen protector I've found to repel fingerprints is the casemate one. Most others make it more difficult to remove fingerprints. Attempting to wipe them off just swirls the oils around.
[Nexus One Accessories] watercool:
edit: forget it, useless to discuss.

my screen is bright enough and there is no rainbow in my phone :P .. I like it.. thats all i wanted to say if someone want to test it (for a few $...)

can i buy only the screen protector? the only thing i see is this ultra ugly full protect thing.. this is even worse.. buying a $600 phone and then wrap it in 10 cent plastic

Hi,

I want to root my G1 dev phone running android 1.6. Is the only way to do this to downgrade to 1.5 (cupcake) ? This is what all my research tells me, but most of the guides telling me this are dated from 2009 and I'm wondering if a newer method has been found since ...........

EDIT - also is there an easy way to test if I already have root access ? It's a dev phone so maybe it's enabled already.

Cheers,

Protosbyte.
[G1 General] kingofyo1:

[G1 General] protosbyte:
phone details

In Fastboot mode :

DREA110 PVT 32B

HBOOT-0.95.0000

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

Sep 2 2008

I went to the HTC developer page where they have the recovery images

(not allowed to post the link here because of spam risk)

and flashed the recovery image thinking that might give me root.

It didn't. (I tested this by typing 'root' in the terminal emulator. I

got 'permission denied.')

So currently :

Build Number : dream_devphone-userdebug 1.6 DRC83 14721 test keys

Kernel : 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37 android-build@apa26 #19

So - is there an easier path to rooting and flashing cyanogens stuff than

downgrading to 1.5 ?

Cheers,

Protos.
[G1 General] fleity:
i also have an adp1 but somehow the previous owner already managed to lose root however i used the downgrade to 1.5, flashing recovery and so on method and it worked perfectly fine and was actually not really complicated.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
First off, if you flashed the images at developer.htc.com/adp.html, then you DEFINITELY HAVE ROOT via the "su" command. HOWEVER, you must know how to use it! The "su" command will ONLY work for the "shell" user -- which means over ADB. This is for YOUR PROTECTION to keep apps from running root-nuts and wrecking your phone.

Second, your bootloader identifies itself as 0.95.0000? Or 0.95.3000? If the former, then some previous owner took the "holiday phone" update. I suggest finding the SPL thread and loading it with 0.95.3000.
[G1 General] protosbyte:
Ah - thanks for that. I didn't realize that I needed to check for root access through adb.

My bootloader is definitely 0.95.0000. I will have a look for that SPL thread you mentioned and install that.

After that, to flash cyanogen's 2.1 mod is it OK to follow this guide :

(meh - can't post links. If you google "Full Update Guide - G1/Dream Firmware to CyanogenMod" it's the top link)

from the "Custom Recovery Image" paragraph ?

Thanks,

Protos.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
If you are wanting to install 2.1/cm, I suggest using this approach (which works with standard partition layouts -- be sure to read the whole thread for current versions of CM): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=692614

If you really want to go follow the directions and install the deathSPL, then you DO NOT follow the CM directions -- they are DANGEROUS.

You locate and install SPL 1.33.2003 (ends in a "THREE", but not the HACKED version) using recovery mode. You then extract the .img file from the deathspl update.zip file, go into fastboot and flash the deathSPL using "fastboot flash hboot hboot.img". Flashing the deathspl direct using recovery CAN BRICK YOUR PHONE!

Hey

I had loads of problems with my desire hanging so i decided to try and download the htc generic roms and run them!

RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.1_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121684

Also tried

RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865

but they all hanged during the upgrade so now im totally stuck with a black screen or the White ruu screen saying:

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

BRAVO Unknown Ship S-ON

HBOOT-0.75.0000

MicroP-031d

Touch Panel SYNT0101

RADIO-4.05.00.11

RUU

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

Is there any way to save my desire or is it bricked? and should i send it to htc support? I should have warranty i hope since its merely 2 month old!

One more question, before i ran these roms i HAVE NOT rooted my desire! Do i have to do so? My desire is currently still UNROOTED! Could that be the reason why the rom upgrades are failing or is it possible to do them on unrooted desires?

Although i dont even know if its possible to root it in this state.....
[Desire General] rolfd:
Is your handset branded? If so, did you create a goldcard?

Exactly what state is your handset currently in? Does it boot to use as normal?

If I were you I would read THIS and root your phone. Then install any rom you want. There are official and custom roms galore in the dev section.

If you have tried to install an incorrect rom on the phone and messed it up then I doubt HTC would honour the warranty anyway so there is no fear in rooting it! The only known bricking issue on these phones has a fix now so you haven't lost anything.
[Desire General] Zeppan:
My phone boots up to that RUU error message so it doesnt boot!

The problem was it stopped booting all of a sudden with the original rom! It just hanged at the White startup screen with the green HTC letters!

But i could enter the Fastboot, Recovery, etc... menu!

So with that i tried with the USB to download the generic original roms! But after they failed (both of them) now each time i boot i get the HTC blackscreen with the error triangle inside!

But i can still install new roms, through the usb but none of them can finish after like 80% so they can still connect to the phone from the computer through usb!

The phone is unbranded as in not connected to any operator like vodafone or such! and its not rooted either!

so u think i should try to root it?
[Desire General] rolfd:
If it is definitely unbranded then no goldcard is needed. I'd say you should go for it and try to root it. Just to confirm it's unbranded, it doesn't have any network operator software on it at all? No boot screen or any operator apps or anything?

You will need to check the link I gave you and follow the instructions religiously! It's actually a fairly painless process. I found the easiest was the tiny core linux method. You don't need any linux experience to use it as you just type in about 4 lines of text.

Failing that, if it simply never goes past the boot screen then no one will know you tried to root! So it would be a simple warranty return to the place you got it, and as far as you are concerned you got up one morning and the phone was off. You tried to turn it on and the rest is history! I told the carphone warehouse that and was given a new handset there and then, but was within my first 14 days of contract. It was a usb brick in my case and there was no fix for ir then. There is now though..
[Desire General] Zeppan:
okay so im getting almost all the way on step 1!

except at the end of every push of files it says

FAILED (remote: 51 partition update fail)

anyone know any fix? also how do i know which bootloader i have 0,75 or 0,8 and which rom i have previously??

before everything i know i had android 2.1 .. is that my rom too? like 1.21?
[Desire General] rolfd:
To check your bootloader, switch the phone on by pressing the volume down button while pressing power. The second line of text will say HBOOT the number after that is your bootloader.

As for that error... No idea. Sorry!
[Desire General] Zeppan:
dang... anyone got any ideas bout the error 51? and how to fix it?
[Desire General] benko286:
try rooting with goldcard method ;)
[Desire General] redwraith:
Also stuck with RUU USB

Did you get a resolution for this? I'm experiencing a bad time with RUU USB too. My phone started out as an unbranded Magic 32A from HK and seems to be a European now, as it only likes installing the European RUUs (and even then only goes as far as 36%)!

EDIT:

I've since had it repaired by HTC themselves. Their engineers couldn't fix it (allegedly) so they replaced the mobo.

Cost me HK$1500! F***!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Fr3nZy:
One tiny unimportant registry key made my phone unbootable. My Touch Input keyboard was replaced by MS's default keyboard some how so I fixed it in the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip but then I decided to delete this key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip\"DefaultIm" forgeting that it will screw the phone up. Seriously, that one key. Delete it from your registry as see what happens.

So, before I do a hard-reset and restore a backup I was trying to dump my rom/fs with MTTY to try (assuming I can) and recover some important info from my pims and vols. This happened before PIMbackup was scheduled to run :(

I set it up properly:

info 0 returns

Platform Model ID:RHOD40000

Platform HW Board ID:4, UNKNOWN

and secLevel=0

but typing in d2s returns "command error !!!"

im new to MTTY so IDK what I'm doing wrong.

Info: Sprint Stock rom/radio SPL-1.00 OliNex
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] drewcam888:
honestly i don't think what you are trying to do will work without a lot of work. You live and learn when you lose pim data without a backup.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Fr3nZy:
I was lucky, MyPhone did a backup before it happened. Dumping a rom isn't that difficult, just need to know why the 'd2s' command isn't working. Would be good to know in the future.
[Desire General] ephumuris:
On the sense roms there is an option in the browser to disable viewing of mobile versions of websites.

However i am using a Froyo rom and even on Cyanogen there is no longer an option to do this. It forces the mobile version on you. I even tried Opera which has the option but it doesn't work in that for me.

And yes it is for porn. :)

Please help me view my porn. The sites i have tried all force you to a mobile version where you must pay. When they are free!

How about setting it not to accept cookies? Maybe a cookie is telling the sites you are on a mobile.

i have hd2, with Phonex for full screen caller. i've activated the black screen in call option but... i guess i chage the phones angle alot because twice it went into the connectivity manager and pressed the flight mode, which owfuly disconnected my call.

i guess i nedd something to hide the task bar/system tray (still not sure how it's referd to). or maybe atleast cancel the flight mode abillity.

even when in a call and it goes to the taskbar notiffication menu it's ennoying as hell cause i can't control the call and i need to press the call itself and only then get to the call controls.

Updated to 2.1 and re-rooted.

Loaded Fresh 2.1.2

All looks good.

When I plug the USB into the pc it automagicly goes to disk drive WITHOUT me selecting any options.

It also opens a dialog box on the pc!

Shouldn't I have to select the disk drive option?

At times I want it to stay Charge Only till I'm ready.

And to use the phone I have to switch it back to charge....but is this normal?

hi guys, I have 2 questions:

1) I'm thinking of upgrading to wm 6.5. I didn't install them till now cause didn't like their look, but after seeing Cookie's Home Tab, i'm all out for them :D.

My question though is how i backup the Contacts' photos. I have already the contacts in Outlook, and the photos appear fine along with the rest contact info. Is this enough? I mean after the “format”, I will connect the td2 to the pc, syncronise and all the contacts will be loaded (with their photos) back in the phone?

2) I also thought of installing Leo's cooked rom NRG, since i see very good comments about it and appears to be the most popular. It's also compatible with Cookie's Home Tab.

I don't mind English Windows, but will i be able to write Greek in sms and rest applications? How can i enable a Greek keyboard like HTC's default (that comes with official greek roms)?

Thanks in advance :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !Aman!:

Hi!

I've got an iPAQ hx4700, well I HAD one yesterday, now I think I've got a piece of metal with electronic inside (until I can fix it and use it). The problem is:

Yesterday I tried to install Sprite Backup on my iPAQ and it was stuck on the installation screen. I soft-reset it and it was stuck on the HP Invent screen. I tried to do a hard-reset and it got stuck on the screen that says"Please wait, cleaning data" (or something like that). I had Alkor 21054 rom with the Wifi patch. I saw that Alkor had made version 21057 and when it began to flash it suddenly said Error and a lot of numbers started to appear on the mtty.I took it out from the dock and soft-reset it and it didn't do Anything at all. Then I tried to enter the bootloader mode (iTASK+Contacts+Soft Reset) and anything again. The charging led doesn't blink when it's connected and my PC doesn't detect it. I know it's not dead because it has never fallen to the floor and it has never get wet, as I said, it was working yesterday.

Please help me.

Thanks in advance

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chapito:
Have you tried removing your battery will wait a few minutes and put it back?

After attempts to load and once loaded iPAQ tries to install a new ROM.

Alkor has a new ROM posted on XDA and 4PDA, is more stable than the ROM 20514. When these loading this ROM with "BootLoader_GUI" the process does not reach beyond 38%. When you reach the 38% make two Hard-Reset and you should work.

Good luck.

Hi,

I am currently an owner of a LG KS20(aka Corona) and i'm deciding to go for a new phone in the next 6 months. These are the minimal conditions the phone should have:

(Higher is more important) Like it should have 3.5mm jack, but Touchscreen is more important

-Touchscreen

-Wifi

-A shell like Sense or the Android screen

-Activesync through Wifi or 3G

-3.5mm Jack

-Speed(Currently a 400Mhz MSM7200 under WM6.5 and sometimes it's slow like crap.)

-Camera >3.2MP

-Bluetooth

-GPS would be nice, not really necessary(Does somebody know some good navigation programs that doesnt need an internet-connection?)

This is a list of the OS that is should be running, Higher is better

-Android

-WM

-Iphone OS

Some info 'bout me

-Hacking and modding is the name, i changed from WM6 to 6.5, other titanium Themes etc etc.

And last but not least, a couple of phones i've been thinking of.

Nexus one, Iphone 4,HD2,HD mini,Vodafone H1

Could you guys give some info on the pro's and Con's of the Android, WM, and Iphone Platform and some feedback on the listed phones?

That would be Swell :cool:

PS: When is the release-date of WM7 for Europe/the Netherlands?Are there other release-dates i should wait for?

i see that the Desire has a 'optical trackball' what is it? Also, how is the Wifi experience?? with my KS20, connecting to a Accespoint is taking me over a minute. It sees the AP rightaway, but then is connects in 10sec., but that is very rare. Most of the time keeps connecting and if you don't do anything it will keep doing so until the battery has run out(so it cant connect, keeps connecting) and then you have to select an accespoint, cant connects and fails after 10sec, THEN you can select the desired AP and after 30sec. its finally connected to the internet.

Is the Musicplayer on android/Desire intuitive? easy to use like in the iPhone/iTouch?
