Hi Mathie,

thank you for your reply. My HTC is not branded or somehow locked (I hope). I 'm running the original ROM v. 1.66.482.1 ELL, O/S 5.2.21869, manila 2.5.19211619.0, RF 2.06.51.07. My service provider is Cosmote. I 'm not sure if this information helps, but I cannot think ANY reason why destinator hangs when the telephone SIM is installed.

Is there any possibility the GPS receiver to get a conflict with A-GPS ? I' d rather say no...

N-drive at the other hand, works fine, it's an excellent program, but I 'm get used to Destinator.
[HD2 General] mathiosn:
have you tried to put another sim card in your phone? wind, or vodafone? and see if the problem insists? have you tried to update quick gps? have you changed the com ports? (by default destinator 7 uses com port 4)
[HD2 General] memoryic:
Hello again.

I have tried to perform the following tests.

1) I have replaced cosmote SIM with Vodafon one. I destinator has the same behavior.

2) I turned off RF radio (airplane mode). Destinator works fine but of course I cannot use HTC as a mobile phone.

3) I have formated the entire flash (CF) and create only the destinator directory. The problem persists.

4) I 'm not sure if quick GPS interacts with Destinator, but since you 've mentioned it I run quickGPS version 1.3 (built 1920.2423)

Destinator has been set up to use com4. If I don't register to a Mobile Provider (or RF is dissabled) the program runs fine, otherwise the startup logo fills 9 out of the 10 red arrows and stacks there.

thanks once more for your time.
[HD2 General] mathiosn:
where did you buy your phone? are you using a stock rom or a cooked one? I am using this rom here and all is well,no problems at all if the problem persists download the above rom and flash your phone with it. i'm sorry but some things get messed up if your rom is not well installed i can't help any more.
[HD2 General] memoryic:
Hi again,

thanks for your answer. I 've checked the rom link you 've mentioned. I 'm already running ROM v. 1.66.482.1 ELL. I got the HTC from a recent offer of Vodafon. They sponsor a 450 Euros discount for the device, and HTC HD2 was in the list. I have not flashed the phone yet, since I already have the latest release. I 'll get a full backup and I 'll try to flash it, just to see if that will fix the problem. I 'll post my findings.

thanks.
[HD2 General] memoryic:
Hello,

I have good news. I have re-installed the original ROM v. 1.66.482.1 ELL as you have suggested and Destinator 7 works FINE. I still cannot figure out what could of being wrong, with my original same version ROM, but when I re-flashed to the one downloaded from here http://www.htc.com/gr/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=2&dl_id=863 the problem is gone.

Thanks once again for your valuable suggestions.

[Desire General] jbaldwinroberts:
Hi,

I have been playing around with the apple pissing and apple bashing boot screens.

As they were not in the order i wanted i decided to try and make my own bootanimation.zip. To do this i downloaded the .gif files and converted them to .png.

I then put these into folders called "part0" and "part1" and zipped it up with desc.txt which looks like this

480 800 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1

However when I flashed it by putting it on my SD and selecting the flash zip option in recovery nothing changed.

I think this is because my .png files are animated. Does anyone know how to convert them to normal .png files with an image for each frame?

Or anything else i could have done wrong?

I followed this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623960

I have included the files as well.

Thanks
[Desire General] jbaldwinroberts:
Update

Iv been playing around a bit more and have now managed to get the animated .gif into individual .png frames.

Iv renamed them, put them into part0 & part1 and created my desc.txt

I then zipped it into bootanimation .zip.

I booted into recovery and did

adb shell mount /system
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot

When it rebooted the startup animation was replaced by a black screen.

Can anyone help me, as obviously other desire users have managed to create custom boot animations.

Iv attached my bootanimation.zip file.

Thanks
[Desire General] jbaldwinroberts:
Right its definitely something to do with unzipping/zipping.

I know this because i downloaded one of the animations from the themes and apps section, unzipped it and zipped it again. This have me a black screen like whats happening with mine.

What procedure/program are other people following/using to create the bootanimation.zip?

Thanks
[Desire General] EddyOS:
the ZIP needs to have no compression
[Desire General] lambrospower:
you must choose STORE method when you are compressing it....and how did you mnaage to export the gif into png ????
[Desire General] jbaldwinroberts:
I have been compressing it using the STORE method with Z-zip.

I can't remember exactly what i used to extract the frames as the .exe is on my work computer and im off today. I can post it up tomorrow for you.

Iv uploaded a screenshot showing the size before and after zipping.

Thanks for all your help
[Desire General] StrongOneX:
same problem here. I think the whole thing is somehow corrupted because the normal unmodified bootanimation doesnt show part 1 just the apple bashing.

agreed, pieing before bashing.

i've been playing with this too, but the result is black screen.. :(
[Desire General] AdamZA:
Hi all,

Had a Desire since it was first released and, like all technology, its starting to get a bit slower compared to when it was brand new. In particular, my messaging and people apps are getting slower.

Obviously this is normal but I'm just wondering if there are any ways to keep the Desire in top shape? I don't have a lot of apps really and am using a stock ROM. Any ideas?

Thanks

You can also try deleting the cache used up by apps. Since you are not rooted, you will have to do this manually:

Press Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications. Press Menu > Sort by size. Open each app near the top which is consuming most of the cache and clear their cache using the "clear cache" button.

[Desire General] ohyeahar:
Ditto, no major slowdowns here as well and I've had it since April.

I notice that it only starts to lag just a tad bit if I do a lot of installing and uninstalling of applications. But a soft reset clears that up every time. I'm guessing it's because of something to do with the cache.

Btw, when I say "lag", I actually mean that I get the occasional stutter during transition animations. Nothing to worry over.
[Desire General] auldreekie:
Would it not be down to adding loads of apps to the phone, pretty much like your PC when it is freshly formatted it just zooms along brilliantly, start loading files etc onto it and the nippiness is not quite the same eventually slowing down.

[Desire General] DaddyCee:
This is because your PC running Windows OS gets clogged up when the registry starts to get big and reformatting means that the DBASE for the Registry is a lot smaller.

Not sure if the Desire has any form of DBASE to keep track of apps installed tbh.

May be someone in the know can advise.
[Desire General] brandon1108:
Just factory reset your phone?
[Desire General] Aitese:
Not normal at all. Don't use task killers and had the phone since release...no slowdowns.

What apps do you have installed? I know it may be a long list but we could narrow it down.

Hi everybody...

Please, can anyone tell me link where download X1's stock Comm Manager?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] de Wolfe:
Search for Duttys Taskmanager. As the X1 is an HTC device it should work fine. (Search in the HD2-Forums or get it at htcpedia). This is the taskmgr included within X1 stock ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] frederictimmer:
Hello guys ( and girls),

usually i flashed my htc devices with the correct hard spl , radio and rom.

But now i tried another rom, with the "funny" feature that my phone hangs itself up. No matter wich rom or Radio, the phone will get stuck latest 2. boot. Then, with a reboot with releasing the battery, the rom will reboot with a hard-reset..

I tried different roms, radios and hard-spls, but it is always the same fault.

Because of this i thought it might be a broken hardware thingy or something like that...

Bootloader says:

DIAM200 MFG 64M

SPL-1.40.OliNex

MicroP-Diam (LED) v11

PSOC-Vict STAGE_PVT v0x20

If someone can solve the riddle and give me a clue about reclaiming my phone, i will donate a BIG beer or two ^^.

Hi all. I've been busy playing with my new toy now for a few weeks and love it.

One thing I have seen happen on a few occasions, but cannot find any details of, is when I am using the browser and flicking the page up gently as I am reading, it takes off at super speed on it's own and scrolls right to the bottom as if on auto pilot!!

Is this an actual "feature"?

I have tried to reproduce it, but I just cannot find how

Then when I am least expecting it, I give the screen a gentle flick, and away it goes again!! :D
[Desire General] th3:
Haha, yeah... it happens when you are scrolling in a direction and suddenly stop keeping the screen touched down on. Let it go and whoosh! You have to quickly press+hold the screen and move it a little in the opposite direction to make that stop or it continues. Can be very annoying at times, but very helpful to me at times too. It's that repeatable for me that it almost sounds like an intentional feature. IDK though.

Hi all,

When cooked ROMs are offered in 64MB and 128MB versions, does this refer to the amount of ROM, or RAM, that the device has?

Thanks

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] orb3000:
If you have your original Uni with no hardware modifications,:cool: then you have 64Mb
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] aum108:
My JasJar is unmodified, and has 128MB ROM and 64MB RAM.

So then, I guess the 64MB/128MB in cooked ROM descriptions refers to RAM then?

I've had my Desire for a while now but there are 2 things i'd like to ask u guys:

1. My ringtone is different when my phone is plugged into my pc, how can i change this? I've looked around but can't find the option!!!

2. I've become quite fond of a game called Tower Raiders but i've noticed that the phone gets quite hot while playing (in hand or on a table). Should i stop every now and again? Has the phone gota a sensor that turns it off if it gets too hot like a laptop??

Thanks in advance guys, this forum is a godsend!!!
[Desire General] 3722:
Your ringtone is different probably because your PC is using the SD memory card as storage device and your audio track is stored on the SD.

If you change the setting in "connect to PC" to "charge only" from "disk drive", your ringtone will be the same (but of course you won't be able to transfer files).

About the heating, I think it's normal that the device gets very hot when used intensively, that shouln't be a problem.
[Desire General] jauhari:
Yes ... heating it's normally
[Desire General] samsanchez88:
Ok guys, thanks alot. I hadn't thought about the ringtone being on the sd card, i feel a bit silly now!!!

I am in an area with no 3G coverage(Rev 0, but not Rev A). With Stock 1.5 I had an option to change between EVDO/Hybrid/1x, but in 2.1 the option is no longer there. I did a nand back to stock so I could download Damages 2.9.1. without waiting all day, but forgot to switch back to 1x. When I went back to the nand of 2.8.1 I was stuck in the EVDO Rev 0, and couldn't receive any calls or messages. I had to nand back to the stock change it back to 1x and then nand forward. All this to ask:

Is there any way manually to switch between signals on Damages 2.9.1, or is there any kind of app i could install that will do it for me?

I found a work around. I manually updated the prl to 40060 from Verizon, and now have 3G service....Sweeeeeeet...thanks to travlincablguy for the advice!

I need some way to stop the music screen from rotating to landscape view because I use the phone along with an AUX cable to my car. It makes it difficult to drive and change songs when it rotates to landscape view. Is there anyway to turn off the accelerometer or stop the rotation? I've tried gyrator and changescreen, but those don't work. (or if someone has found a way to make those apps work, please give me instructions!) thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] 3|Saint|5:
You'll have to edit your phone registry to disable the full screen rotation. Go to HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila and look for EnableFullScreen. Change the "1" to a "0" and soft reset.

Hi forum,

I was too fast and bricked my old G1, so I got one from Craigslist, flashed it correctly with CM5.0.7, 5.0.8test4, and with SpeedTeam 1.2 and 2.0. The phone stays playing music through the speaker when ExtUSB headset is plugged in (as opposed to expected switching audio to headphones).

I didn't check this functionality on stock firmware.

There is togggleheadset app which was supposed to fix some bug in 1.5 which actually switches the audio to headset as expected, but then freezes and one has to reboot the phone to get audio back to the speaker.

Did anyone experience this? Can it be fixed so the phone behaves as expected, that is switching to audio when plugged into a headset?

Thank you.

I'm looking into getting an Android based handset and can't decide which one from the three to get.

The Nexus One has the advantage of getting Froyo and possibly future updates before any other handset. The htc has sense ui which I like while the Samsung has the best specs and the best battery life from what I hear as well

If you guys were to get a new android device today, which would it be?

[General Questions and Answers] friend'scatdied:
Here are the positives and negatives of each, short of it is that the rest is mostly the same:

Nexus One:

+First in line to get new Android versions from Google

-HTC's remarkably crappy pentile AMOLED screen, crappy color accuracy, crappy effective resolution, and crappy sunlight legibility

Desire:

+576MB RAM

-HTC's remarkably crappy pentile AMOLED screen, crappy color accuracy, crappy effective resolution, and crappy sunlight legibility

Samsung Galaxy S

+AWESOME 4" super AMOLED. Beautiful colors, excellent sunlight legibility -- actually a good AMOLED.

-256MB RAM (less than half of the Desire, and half of the Nexus One's)

-Samsung TouchWiz (sucks)

The screen con for the HTCs and the lack of RAM for the Galaxy S prevent me from recommending any one of them.
[General Questions and Answers] ajaffarali:
Thanks for all the replies. So looks like we still don't have a real good Android phone? Is the new Acer Ferrari any good?

I've been using the iPhone for almost 2 years (first 3G then 3GS) and love it but thought I'd get something different this time around and Android seems to be the way forward. I do like the Blackberry 9800 slider as well and the iPhone 4 looks pretty kick-ass.

Then i would say: HTC Evo 4G.

Else i would say the Nexus One
[General Questions and Answers] friend'scatdied:
In this case, yes, the Galaxy S is the obvious choice.
[General Questions and Answers] ajaffarali:
I am in Dubai, UAE. None of the phones have officially been released yet although Galaxy S is expected within a week or two. Desire and Nexus One both cost the same here (about US$600).

Acer is officially available and a bit cheaper and I'm playing with Liquid-E which is 512MB ROM and RAM but I still find the unit lags on and off. I also used the Motorola Droid which, IMHO, seemed to run quite nicely but I must say that SenseUI definitely adds a lot to Android. Legend is now being released here officially sometime next week- is that worth going for?

Again, apologies for all the questions and appreciate all the answers

Hello everyone, somebody knows if it's possible to connect a diamond running android with a macintosh computer? (maybe with a freeware software)

I want to syncronize my contacts, messages, appointments, etc

..I know, it's possible thru google sync...but...I don't like it (maybe cause it works bad with wm...I've tried sometimes, but every time he loose some contacts or appointments and returns me an error)
[EVO 4G General] wildcard:
OK, so I added a few contacts from my phone, but they don't show up in google contacts... anyone know why? The contacts I add to google contacts show up on my phone just fine, but not the other way around
[EVO 4G General] r3daction:
There is a view option to decide what you can see in the contact view. A filter if you will. What I did was add all my contacts to my google account so that it syncs. Then in my googlemail I deleted all of my duplicates. Once that synced, I exported my google contacts to .vcf then imported to phone contacts. The two are now duplicate. I can filter which one I want to see which is the google contacts and I can now backup my phone contacts to my computer/outlook.
[EVO 4G General] wildcard:
OK, i found the problem... when I created these contacts, it looks like they were created of the type: "phone"... looks like phone contacts don't sync, but "google" contacts do. How do I change from phone to google contacts?
[EVO 4G General] r3daction:
This is what I was getting at above.

Export your phone contacts to file. Which will be a .vcf on your phone. Then import the same .vcf to your google contacts.

When you go to export you will be asked if you want to export your google or phone contacts. Same prompt will present when you import contacts.
[EVO 4G General] Freelancerx:
wow dude... well its pretty much a no brainer... when you are in the people app which is your contacts list...and you add contact (should be all the way at the top)

the very first thing you do is add a name and then the VERY SECOND line clearly sais "contact type" just make sure that sais google and NOT phone.

and i dont think you can change them in the phone once you add them in. so just make sure to do it right the first time, or delete the contact and re enter it. or do it the way it was stated earlier.
