[Hero, G2 Touch General] shadow_fi:
I think we need to make clear. What to do if.

I installed the first package (First OTA, PART 1, Youtube App update)?

Like I heard in develop, if I installed part 1 update, this stupid youtube update, i need downgrade.

I don't really understand why, and how to do that. I think many of noobs like me are interested, what to do now.

I have promted by my phone that 2.1 update is realeased, and I did not downlnoad it, because I would like to have root, to install in a future Android 2.2, etc.

If so, and i have Firmware build number 2.73.405.93, or 2.73.405.94, or 2.73.405.95. What should I do?

Please someone, write step by step action guide.

(Downgrade, root, install rooted 2.1?) If so, how exactly?

I also understand that, there is 100000000000 of guides out there, but IMHO we need new one for a while.

Situation with "not installed" OTA part 1 is little bit easier? Normal ROOT, and install for coocked, and rooted official 2.1?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] duck0:
I guess so, but how likely is it that the hero's 2.1 firmware is different in this regard from anything else? A quick google confirmed that the InstantRoot method works on nexus one and motorola droid.

Edit: But a little longer google had me wondering if it does work on 2.1 again. Sorry, I should check more carefully. If anyone has tried it do step up.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] shadow_fi:
Check out dev. section. Looks like there is way to downgrade.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
Correct, just run the RUU :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] hkr:
can confirm, this works ...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] strider96:
What if I want to root it up to 2.2 (Froyo) that would be fine because it is like you are upgrading to newer firmware?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frederikk:
Hi i just have a stupid question :

i'm quite lost with all the stuffs about the 2.1 update :

i have a 1.5 stock rooted rom on my hero.

i would like to update to 2.1 but keep the root thing.

and i want not to wipe my phone :(

So what i undestand is :

- if i update : i'm not root anymore and won't be able to do it with the 2.1

- if i want to be 2.1+root i have to use a full rom (rooted) to have both but i have to wipe my phone.

Is that right ?

Is there or will it be a way to have an update (not wiping phone), in 2.1, and with root maintained from my 1.5 ??

Thanx for help.. i don't what to do with this ota update...

Ciao

Fred
[Hero, G2 Touch General] strider96:
No... You are going to have to root.

But you can just back-up with something like MyBackUp-Pro
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frederikk:
Ok but i silo bave to root what? The 2.1 updated phone? But i understood or is not possible yet ? For the backup dors à android one is ok?

Thanx

Ciao

Fred
[Hero, G2 Touch General] carlonchete:
what do you meen visit dev section?what is dev section?thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frederikk:
I think i don't understand.

I'm with 1.5 rooted phone. If i update, i will be with a 2.1 phone non rooted. But is it possible to root the 2.1 ? I already have the boot menu with ramon ra recovery. So the update won't touch it ?

But in fact i change the date to june 2011 on my phone yesterday.. and i have no update notification :(

Ciao

Fred
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pa64:
I might be out of subject and truely I know nothing about rooting but I know by fact that downgrading from official 2.1 to official 1.5 took about 15 minutes to proceed on my unlocked Hero today..

http://www.softpauer.com/f1app/f1app.html

I've been waiting to see this app come from the iPhone to Android but it says so far it's just supported by the Nexus and Milestone. I wondered if anyone has bought this and got it working on the Desire?
[Desire Themes and Apps] benko286:
can't find that app, are you sure it is released?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Bandare:
yeah, I found it in the marketplace today at £19.99. It just says it supports those two above phones though....
[Desire Themes and Apps] dkodr:
Bought it and I can confirm that it works on my Desire without a problem :] Needs some further work, though.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Bandare:
Great to hear. I'll have to get it too.... When you say it needs further work, do you mean Softpauer needs to do more work?
[Desire Themes and Apps] nihilist_:
Thanks for this... been waiting for ages.. just forgot to check the website for updates...lol
[Desire Themes and Apps] dkodr:
Yes, it still needs some polishing here and there.
[Desire General] faddys123:
any good roms ?

is there a rom with htc sense but the menu is 3-d draw and with effects when you backout from the app ?
[Desire General] dnlgee:
there's plenty of SenseUI ROM's available in the Android Dev forum, I personally don't know/haven't used any of them so couldn't tell you which have the features you're after.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
You could try Amer Bravox v4.1. It is a very good rom and it is based on MCR 3.1, which runs android 2.1 and not Froyo. It comes with the ADW Launcher installed by default and has the 3D apps drawer effect that you are looking for.
[Omnia II General] zenderady:
I have a samsung gt i7500 but I'm sure the problem is android related.

After playing around with some roms and one time when I called someone he did not hear me and I didn't hear him, it worked only with the microphone and the headphones it came with. From there on reinstalled all possible roms versions and default versions and I always have the same problem.

Also I noticed that if I try to play music on the speakers I can't hear it.

Today I installed a new rom and saw the music DID work before making a call. But after the call with no voice/sound the speakers music didnt work any more either.

At one samsung shop a guy told me that he can't fix it but the internal drivers/software components are of different versions.

I think it might be the phone.tar file with an amss file inside that is ****ed up.

Any ideas? hoping someone can help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrono:
Interesting problem I have had on and off. When I plug my phone into my desktop, it will connect normally, then a few seconds later it acts like I unplugged it. It's not the rom as it does it in recovery as well(both with usb-ms activated and without). I have HTC Sync installed. Rebooting either the computer and/or phone doesn't fix it, it just goes away after awhile and starts working again. I've experienced the problem FAR less when connecting it to my laptop, it will typically work there and not on my desktop when the problem crops up.

it's like this problem but it's not constantly http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=711616

I was having the same problem on my MacBook until I realized the MacBook must be plugged into power. Once plugged in everything was good. I wonder if the Evo demands more power through USB then other devices.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirchuk:
Yeah, sounds like a power issue to me. If you're using a USB port on a hub or on a keyboard, try one on the PC itself. Also, it could be a slow USB port or a bad cable if you are continuing to have issues. Try another computer if you can, and if you still have the problem try a different cable. Still have the issue, reflash (if you're running a custom rom) or contact Sprint for service.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjb5406:
Same issue here, but on a desktop PC (Dell Studio XPS) using the front-mounted USB port (not a hub). Keeps disconnecting/reconnecting, but often takes 10-15 minutes between cycles. Using stock ROM (for now, at least). Will try other ports & another PC and will report back.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrono:
Already tried different ports, only motherboard ports

Rom doesn't matter as the problem exists in both android and recovery

Don't have a different cable, however the same cable will work fine on my laptop then not work on my desktop
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirchuk:
If it works on a laptop, but not the desktop, then it appears to be an issue with your desktop. Any other USB devices doing it?

I would check your motherboards manufacturer and make sure you've got the right USB drivers, a bios update might be in order as well.

But before all that, I've got an idea. First and foremost, try this:

Go to device manage (either from control panel, right-clicking my computer and going to properties, or searching for devmgmt.msc in the start menu search.)

Navigate down to Universal Serial Bus controllers, double click on USB Root Hub (you probably have 1 for every USB Port, so you may have to do them all.)

Click on the Power Management tab, and uncheck the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power." check box and see if that solves your problem.

i had this issue on my hero. it was corrected for me after i did a wipe of data and cache. i restored from titanium afterwards. YMMV

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarheelsmj12001:
one thing you might try is disabling sense and using the android launcher. then reset the phone. once it boots up try and connect it to your pc. This was how I got mine to connect. when I was using the sense launcher it somehow blocked that options screen and the default I selected wouldn't stick. once I got the connection to my pc working this way I was able to re-enable sense and it's worked perfectly ever since.

I do not take credit for this fix, someone else on here told me to try this n it worked perfectly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrono:
it was nothing with the rom, since it was doing the same thing in recovery.

it turned out to be the short little usb extender cable that was going a foot and ahalf from behind my pc to the side so i could plug it in easier.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I don't know why are you making assumptions out of nowhere ("Android related"?), why you're blaming the OS for your messing with ROMs (everything worked before, didn't it?), and why are you posting on Nexus forum, when someone from Samsung forums would have much higher chances of knowing something about this problem.

Other than that - supposing that i7500 is like other current high end phones and has separate baseband CPU and apps CPU, I suppose you're running a corrupted / wrong radio build.

Email - how to dl all messages from server? I just got a few from last week

Thx

I ve found this solution:

1. Select eMail in the HD2 Start Menu.

2. Select your mail account (without opening the mail, if you open the mail, simply press back arrow on hardware keys, and then reselect eMail form Start Menu.

This will ensure Mail Account is highlighted.

3. Select Menu > options

4. Tap the account to change settings

5. Select Send/Receive Schedule

6. Select frequency and Download options eg past 3 days, 5, 7, 30, ALL

Download size for mail and attachments also available.

This does not appear to be available for Hotmail account!

Hope this helps.

BUT - it doesnt work ( I m using CHT mayby thats why)

Anyway, after point 2 from above, I got only "Lock" in the left bottom corner, no "3. Select Menu > options"

[EVO 4G General] geyes30:
Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has tried to tweak the 720p video recording on the Evo to 60fps, and if so, if he/she could add some pointers. I have looked at the documents for the camera (OmniVision OV8810) and it is definitely capable of that. If no one is working on it at all, I will prob start looking into the datasheets. :)

Edit: 60fps is probably out. Now aiming for stable 24 or 30fps recording.
[EVO 4G General] robobeau:
Weird that no one's replied yet...

Good luck, good sir! If you could also find a way so that it doesn't compress the video down to oblivion, that would be great, as well.
[EVO 4G General] jerrygon:
Wow this would be soooo awesome...
[EVO 4G General] Geniusdog254:
Making it not compress the video so much will give better results than just a higher framerate. I would lock it to 30fps instead of 24fps and lower the compression instead of trying to just mindlessly boost the framerate, since you have to do something with that data you capture too.
[EVO 4G General] rebelatheart:
I definitely agree (not that I have any clue how to do any of this lol). Basically every review talked about how the 720p recordings werent actually HD quality b/c of the over compression. With 16gb mirco sd cards being relatively cheap, I think reducing the compression is more important that having 60fps. 60fps at the current evo compression is still going to be very ugly IMO.
[EVO 4G General] SiL3nTKiLL:
this would be sick!
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
Agreed, i'd rather have less crappy compression then higher frame rate. I don't like my videos looking like they came from an NES.
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
Best of luck, the Epsen panel can always display 16m colors instead of 65k apparently.
[EVO 4G General] rldev:
Are you saying Esponpanel on rev 3 Evos display 16 million colors or are just capable of it?
[EVO 4G General] muncheroo:
i think htc set the compression to what it is because of the bandwidth issues with standard class 2 sd cards, not because they were worried about the files being too big. someone did the math for this before and it was shown that heavy compression would be needed to not exceed the class 2 standards
[EVO 4G General] daneurysm:
And maybe crancking up the audio bit rate so it isn't laughable low. Sample rate could stand to be much higher.... or even adjustable... And maybe get that damned automatic gain control on the Mic to be toggleable while your at it... between that and a constant 30fps and less compression all around.... and I think were really on to something...

Thank you santa clause:
[EVO 4G General] Mediocrates:
One thing to keep in mind, if you are going to lower the compression, you will have to stream data MUCH faster to SD. I wouldn't even try this without having one of the new Class 10 MicroSDHC's.
[EVO 4G General] badengrish:
If you are going to lock any FPS to the video it should be a at 29.97, either way, if you ever try to edit that, it will be a mess because you have to chop out that .03 percent for anyone to benefit from watching it.
[EVO 4G General] frettfreak:
Completely agree with this too. We don't need higher framerates. Movies and other very high quality productions cap out at 24-30 fps. We need better quality.

I am sure a dev here should be able to do this. That would be amazing.
[EVO 4G General] Dougie2187:
The math should be pretty straight forward.

Basically, class 2 sd cards support 16Mb/s or 2 MB/s which using 1000 for k, or M would be

16000000 b/s or 2000000 B/s

720p contains 720*1280 pixels which is a total of 921600 pixels. Assuming the displays show 65k colors (I don't know this for sure) that is 16 b/pixel So one frame would be

14745600 b or 1843200 B or even 1.84 MB

Doing a framerate of 30 fps, you would need something cabable of 55.2 MB/s write speed to capture uncompressed 720p video.

So, basically you have to be able to compress 55.2 MB of data down to 2 MB, or you need to compress away 96% of the data, for a class 2 card.

A class 6 card supports 48 Mb/s or 6 MB/s so this would require you to compress away 89%

If you go up to 16m colors, instead of 65k you need another byte of data for each pixel.

If you have a class 10 card, it supports 80 Mb/s or 10MB/s which would require a compression to 19% of the size, or to compress away 81% of the data.

It seems no matter what it needs to have some hefty compression, but of course 4% of the data, would look worse than 19% of the data.

No matter what, you will have to play with the compression. I don't know what the compression on the evo currently uses, but my bet it it's far more than is needed. If you up the framerate alone, you will have to compress it more too. So it's probably better to cap it around 30 fps and then lower the compression to get higher quality data.

Good luck either way.

EDIT: Just so you know where I got my SD card info.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#SD_Speed_Class_Rating

And these are *MINIMUM* write speeds. So that would be the highest you would need to compress the video to insure it would work at 30fps.
[EVO 4G General] gbm85:
16Mbps is plenty for 720p video. Think about it. That's 120MB per minute or over 7 gigs per hour. In fact, 16Mb is pretty good even for 1080p.
[EVO 4G General] Tenny:
Very good explanation for everyone! Though we need compression, when you say 89-90% I think that throws a lot of people off. I mean look at a well encoded mkv file... Agreed it's h.264 (end the compression method is extremely important), but the video is running at about 20,054kbps ( 20.05 Mbps(2.51 MB/s) and it looks extremely clear, far more than I would ever expect out of the camera of this...

Something that I noticed, when I go to details of a video I made. It says it was recorded at 6Mbps, at only 9fps. Anyone else notice that? I can't find the setting to adjust to 24 fps even.
[EVO 4G General] _Kyros_:
OMG!, if this works I will donate to the Dev, because this is one of the reasons why I am thinking about taking back my EVO and getting a full refund plus the fact that I can't get good reception (1 bar maybe 2), "4G" and slow 3G in my apartment, which is where I use my phone the most, but if that new HTC Android phone "Project Emerald" that's coming to T-Mobile is better than the EVO then bye bye Sprint and back to where it all started is where I go.
[EVO 4G General] YACO:
Not to change the subject, but Amazon is selling this 8GB KingMax microSD Class 10 for $30.50 link

just to point out that class 10 is becoming a reality and we shouldn't compromise on quality... maybe this will motivate devs more.
