[EVO 4G General] OneOfOne:
it seems to me that common sense should apply. I saw the news on engadget and goodandevo and decided to look for the update via wifi. it downloaded quickly and installed with no problem. when it finally finished in about 10 mins I had a couple of widgets that I had to reinstall. it makes no sense whatsoever to install the same update twice so what is the big deal? if your phone isnt rooted and then bricks after applying the ONE update today ONCE then there is a problem. otherwise its user error.
[EVO 4G General] aschneid:
I was wondering the same thing myself. I am running stock and when I search for an update, nothing is found.
[EVO 4G General] billcohen:
BRICK!

Brand new two week old phone.

Not rooted

.

Did not survive the update. Not even a power LED when charging. PC does not recognize a device present when plugged-in to USB.

Sprint customer support will not send me a new EVO because I bought from a third party Sprint Store. Sprint store tells me they have no idea when new devices will arrive because they "trickle in" and it may take weeks.

Now what?!?!?
[EVO 4G General] muncheroo:
the only silver lining to this is you may get an new device manufactured with some tweaks =/
[EVO 4G General] pixelpop:
I believe I was the first to ask the question about the second update on xda this morning. Phones being bricked had not been reported yet, I just wanted to know what the second update was. Thankfully I didn't install it and after it downloaded, it just went away. But to your statement about user error:

1) I, the user, did not initiate the second download so how could this be my fault?

2) Like most users, I didn't write down the file name of the first update because I didn't think I wouyld be having to compare it with a second update. For the record, the second update file name was OTA_Supersonic_1.47.651.1-1.32.651.6_releaseq2wpcb5jl7uowah9.zip.

So I think it's pretty harsh and short-sighted just to say this was user error.
[EVO 4G General] 2002wrex:
this happenned to a friend of mines phone today. he installed the OTA HTC software update on a completely stock evo, and it does appear to be bricked. in hboot it runs down the series of files (or images) and it says they are all "wrong image" or no image. so being the htc guru i am, i am now stuck trying to solve the issue.

EDIT: can anyone else who has bricked confirm that you can still enter "hboot"? on winMo devices you can usually save a bad flash or major error from bootloader mode, but that doesn't appear to be the case with android. i tried recovery first, and when that failed i did a clear storage. also failed.
[EVO 4G General] spamking98:
thats it im getting a new iphone or better yet a lapdance...
[EVO 4G General] sz99:
I agree. My EVO was completely stock. I received the update notice - no indication of two updates, only one. After downloading the update, it asked me if I wanted to apply it and of course I said yes. For the first 10 minutes or so, it looked like it was applying the update, but then it became apparent that something else was going on. The phone would continuously restart and go through the update process. After two hours of this, I pulled the battery to see if anything happens. As soon as I installed the battery, it started the same process again. I let it run for another hour and the same thing. Now the EVO is on my desk with no battery installed.

I am taking the phone back today and am actually thinking of cancelling my Sprint service since I am still within the 30 days deal. I really like EVO, so I may wait a couple of months to give them a chance to work through these problems and perhaps even have the Froyo ready and already installed and then get it again.
[EVO 4G General] 2002wrex:
yours went a lot farther along than my friends did. it hung on the splash screen after one reset, for nearly a half hour before it was clear that something was wrong. it never got past it.

what i don't understand is that if i can get into bootloader, can't i do something to save the phone???
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Why can't you plug your phone by USB to your computer and run that RUU file in the dev section that was completely stock OS. That would take you back to how it was out the box.
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
Not trying to start a flame war or anything, but...

Average Joe's do silly things all the time...they buy PC's with bloated software, wonder why their anti-virus hasn't protected them after 6 months of not updating it, wonder why bundled software is locked after 30 days of use, click on emails with links to their 'banks' asking for info, and on, and on.

It really is foolish to invest money and be fully dependent upon anything that you haven't taken the time to learn to use, and then wonder why it's not working the way you think it should.

distortedloop, for someone that has 'been at this sort of thing for 30 years now', you should know as much as anyone else that ANY updates to software cannot be guaranteed to run smoothly for everyone, especially OS updates, whether they are desktop or handheld. That is simply an unrealistic expectation. That's why network admins and engineers always test OS updates in a lab environment before releasing the update to production.

Even Apple, Google, and Mozilla, who are well-known for providing frequent and smooth updates to their software, have issues all the time. It's just the nature of technology.

So ideally, you are correct: an OTA update should not brick anyone's phone. Is the cause poor design or engineering? Maybe, but not necessarily - even the best designs have issues. Is it unusual to be offered the same update twice? Of course. Is it foolish to accept it a 2nd time? In my experience in the enterprise sector, definitely - but people do it all the time anyway.

Keeps me employed ;-)
[EVO 4G General] 2002wrex:
this was one of the first things i tried. seemed to me like the obvious method to fix the problem. after going through the ruu it goes to the screen that says "verifying the information on your android device" and then gives me a connectivity error.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
try doing step 2 of toasts root to get the ability to flash backwards.
[EVO 4G General] 2002wrex:
i don't know if i can get adb shell to work, as the phone ONLY goes into bootloader (Hboot). or am i wrong? i am not an android user...

Just want to confirm the one key at a time is only due to the screen and not that the phone cannot accept multi inputs before I buy one of those small bluetooth pads.

Thanks

I was wondering if it would be possible to port the widgets from the Samsung Galaxy S over to the Nexus One?

If there is anyone that would be able to do this please let me know (wltnkyl at gmail), I would be very interested in using these widgets on my Nexus One.

**as .apk please since my Nexus is not rooted and would prefer not to root at this time**

Thank you.

mm..i don't know..for me this is possible..

The launcher is ported fine..

certain, the social's widget no...because social hub is integrated in the rom, but watch and weather yes..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] wltnkyl:
Was hoping to be able to use the news and weather one as it is the best I've seen. Would also like to use the contacts one, not sure about that one though as it might be tied into the custom contacts app.

If someone can get the news and weather to the Nexus One, as well as any others I would be very appreciative.

-also, downloaded and trying the Touchwiz launcher linked above, thanks for that. Just need widgets now!

edit: Installed the Touchwiz launcher ported by 'rolle3k' (great job), and it is working perfectly, no bugs that I have found yet. I recommend this to everyone out there that likes the look of the Touchwiz Android Launcher...

[HD2 General] stineco:
Hello,

I have a little problem with watching tv channels on my hd2, when i go to the specific site with internet explorer everythings works i see the channels and the links work.(sorry it's only available for Belgium and only if you have a contract with Mobistar )

When i go with opera 9.7 then i get other pages and not the pages with the links for the channels.

i already have changed the agent in opera, the same as internet explorer but no good.

any Ideas?
[HD2 General] bates_1974:
could be that opera goes through their own servers before being sent back to you whereas ie is a direct connection? if that makes sense

Anyone else notice that you can no longer select Android Wallpaper after applying the update? Any way to get it back?
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
it has been merged with HTC Wallpapers
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
Umm... no, it hasn't.
[EVO 4G General] sfox8:
Someone tried to tell me this before but no, it's not. It's completely removed as an option. The wallpapers are still on the phone somewhere though because after installing, it loaded up the green grass wallpaper I was using from the Android Wallpapers so I know they didn't delete them.

Does anyone know how to access them so I can just use them myself?
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
sorry guess this post was wrong.

[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
Not the first time Engadget's been wrong.
[EVO 4G General] jobryan26:
Engadget isn't completely wrong because mine and some others are also merged into the HTC wallpaper directory. However there are others I also know..and theirs are gone too. I did a hard reset on mine last night so I would have a clean upgrade tho.
[EVO 4G General] j3oomerang:
no Launcher

Mine did the same, no Android wallpapers. More annoyingly however, is that I can't get rid of Sense anymore. Sense was disabled and I was running Launcher when I updated this morning. It booted back up with Sense and now I can't figure out how to disable Sense again if it is at all possible.
[EVO 4G General] david279:
Download another launcher like AWD, open home, etc....Then use Home switcher( its in the market) to switch to them.
[EVO 4G General] secretmethod70:
That works - I'm using LauncherPro and didn't even need to get Home Switcher - but we shouldn't have to download other launchers when the stock Launcher was available. I just don't understand why they felt the need to delete these harmless traces of stock Android, especially the wallpapers. What i the world was their logic in that?
[EVO 4G General] jobryan26:
Anyone know where these wallpapers were located at in the file system? I will try to extract mine and upload them up for others.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmagruder:
If possible, I'd like to find or code a widget that toggled the speakerphone setting for the car dock, since the stupid thing always forgets it should be checked.

Most of the widgets I've seen are pretty good at firing whatever intent is necessary to get to the appropriate settings (or better yet, toggling it directly).

Does anyone know how to easily discover what intent is fired so I can code a widget and not have to do the following steps during a phone call?

Arrow right to second dock page

Tap Settings

Tap Systems Settings

Scroll down to Dock

Tap Audio

Tap Speakerphone option to check.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prod1702:
Why do ppl keep on doing this plz post this in the right area. the devs are going to move this to Q&A.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmagruder:
Hold up.

So you're saying that "Nexus One Android Development" is NOT the place to ask an API/Development question?

When I ask for an Intent I'm asking for information about something I am perfectly willing to CODE.

Or is "Nexus One Android Development" only for ROM development related questions? Cause if so, they should just rename it: "Nexus One Custom ROM Development" so as not to confuse developers asking hacking/developer questions for app dev.

I use locale app. and a plugin called locale power source. I have definied what to happen when i plug on power i do that in my car. It's also starts when plug power in at home, but i can live whit that.

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentkalaw:
well, you might not need to code but if you do, i'm sure some ppl would appreciate it. the reason i say you might not need to code is that I know the issue you are talking about and i have experienced it off and on (no pun intended) but since frf83 i haven't experienced the problem and I use the CCH (custom car home) app which is free in the market. it has a settings page that allows you to lock it on speakerphone when docked as well as bluetooth. Another option is using quickdesk. just put dock setting son your quick desk page and although it might take you 3 key strokes to turn on speakerphone it might not be as bad as writing code for a widget that will take up memory and still make you do at least one key stroke. but if you write the code, i'm sure it'll be appreciated.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eViL D::
Did you try decompiling with apktool and looking at the manifest?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmagruder:
No but I definitely will try that. I did find an app that is open source and looked at the code. It uses the AudioManager class and sets the speakerphone option on when it receives the dock intent. However, it is not at all clear from that or the Android documentation that this reroutes audio to the dock speakerphone instead of the one in the phone. I do not believe that it does so I need to determine how the dock app apk sends an intent to bring up those settings. I was hoping someone with experience coding toggle widgets such as gps, lock etc discovered how to bypass the ui and pragmatically change the settings in an arbitrary app.

Randy
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmagruder:
Did that to GoogleCarHome.apk. Found the manifests file, and I see that it looks for the CAR_DOCK events, but there's no source

So I either need the Java source to it that shows which setting it's getting to determine the off/on state, or the Java source to the Android settings app which sets this independently of the Car App.

I'll continue ripping stuff apart until I find it. If it's in the Settings I wonder if that means it's part of AOSP. If so that might be the way to go. However, I'm not on a Linux box and am not equipped to do native Android development, just APK development using Eclipse + SDK.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Tunay:
Hello guys!

I've got nice price for my Desire, so I'm going to sell it. Since my Leo took a shower few weeks back it is dead. But, I've found a Diamond, not used. And the price is very low. About 1/3 of what I get for my Desire. BUT, I only want this if I can install Android on it.

I've found this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=601751), does this realy work? If it does, I'm going to buy this in this week.

I've waiting for Evo, but since it is not available in my country (yet), I want to buy something "cheap" and use it when I wait for my Evo and then have it as my backup mobile.

Well, let me make the long short, does this phone with Android (If it is possible) work for everyday use? I've read that lots of "Force Close" pops up?

Thanks in advance :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Huckleberry88:
Lots of respect for XDANDROID ... I am using it (and continuously update to the newest build) ... but not as a productive system for daily use.

Two main reasons for me:

1. battery consumption improved but still ..

2. limited memory of the Diamond ...

You may go through the thread of XDANDROID to see further comments ...

BTW, there is also XDANDROID 2.2 out now (alpha though)

Cheers!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Tunay:
Hello! Thanks for your answer.

I've just found this:

http://www.androidonhtc.com/wiki/Port_Status

But I understand what you mean. I also forgot that this phone has no memory card slot (?) I've going to need this...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tolis626:
First off,I'm sorry about your Leo...May it rest in peace... :p

The Diamond is a really good phone and by far the most beautiful one that I have got my hands onto,but it's a 2 year old device.It was the top back in 2008,but now it's really...moderate!But why would you want to sell your Desire?Keep it until the Evo comes to your country(which is by the way...?) and then sell it! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Tunay:
I've also miss my Leo! :(

I know the Diamond, my girlfriend has it :D Yeah, it is old but this does not matter for me if I can install Android on it. The reason why I sell my Desire is cause I got very good price for it. I'm from Norway.

I've also saw that few hours ago HD2 booted with Linux, maybe I should get a new HD2 and use it with Android. That would be awsome! But this will take a long time tou...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] siddharthsai:
I wouldn't recommend a second-hand HD2. Go for a new handset.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Tunay:
For sure, I'm going to buy new. My point was that Android can't be far away from running on HD2 :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tolis626:
If you want Android I wouldn't recommend the HD2.Yes,it's one of the best out there and now there is an Android port,but such a port has been available for the Diamond and its compatibles for a very long time now and it's not usable for everyday use.No disrespect to the work that's being done,I really appreciate it and use it on my Diamond,but I have it as a backup phone so it doesn't really matter to me if it works flawlessly as I use my Hero everyday.Android on HD2 is in very early stages,not even open for anyone to try and I think it will be a long time before we see it working efficiently.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Tunay:
Yes, I understand your point. And by my post above yours I meant about 5-6 months with short time :)

Maybe it takes longer may not, the thing is, I don't know when Evo wil be available in my country...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tolis626:
My friend I think that neither you nor I will get an Evo in our countries...It seems that smartphone companies are on a US-frenzy sort of thing and release all the good stuff there these days...What we get?One device in our market for every 10 devices in the American market... :( :mad:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] potna:
well its a discovery to me, and i haven't seen anything about this here so i though i would post this

also, long time reader, first time poster. lol

anyways, i have been trying to figure out why voice command would not do what i picked it up for: announce caller id.

well everyone said you had to go to settings an enable caller id, well alot of us couldn't because we don't have the settings shortcut and i was one of them.

well i found how to access to settings, for at least me. i use nrg roms, but i don't use sense even though its pretty sweet, i prefer spb.

but anyways i was playing with the settings "pane" in sense and noticed another entry called "other"-"misc settings" so i opened it up and there was voice-command settings????

the strange thing is that now that i have accessed the vc settings from sense now i can access these settings from the start menu and spb in addition to sense.

so now i am able to enable caller id announcements, but it still wont send the announcement to my bluetooth, which i believe is a known issue that hopefully can i can figure out

i believe all of this worked before i started using custom roms.

oops i guess i have posted on a non related topic before
