[Streak 5 Accessories] Muo:
When the streak comes available to the US, I will more than likley be buying the home docking station as well as the car docking kit.

My only worry is that once I have the car docking kit, the Streak will fall off when hitting potholes. Living near Chicago, potholes are abundant and prominent .

Has anyone used this car docking kit and could give me some feedback?

[Streak 5 Accessories] THJahar:
Not yet, they haven't been shipped.

I've got one on order and the guestimated delivery date is 2nd July.

Once I've got it I'll do a video unboxing and test drive and show you what it's like.

update: Date now changed to 5th July (Better not be later as I go on holiday on the 9th)

Dell car dock has a weak joint.

Hi!

My car dock just broke this morning while I was trying to slide my phone in. :mad:

Just be gentle when you put yours on your dock. ;)

It is sturdy enough to not bounce around on my motorcycle

once you break it in a bit (get it in some warm sun) it can even accept the phone while in the dell poly slip case

If anything It's too good! If you leave it attached to the windscreen for a few days It's a pain to get off.

The phone wobbles around a bit, but that's just due to the weight of the streak.

Hello guys,

my beloved HTC Touch Cruise has died, lcd display crashed and it's not cheap ti repair it.

So I finally bought my new HTC Desire!

I'm happy! It should be like a dream, and thanks to Market and you, my friends, I have almost everything I need!

Only a few small things I miss, and I ask you if someone can help me:

1) text messages are not marked or divided between received and sent ... I tried two apps called SMS Manager and SMS Manager Pro, but do not work on my Desire. Then I found n2manager SMS ... but in the Sent folder shows the phone numbers and not contact names, so I uninstalled it too.

2) my Cruise with MobiolaWebCam application was a webcam for my pc, via usb cable or bluethoot. Is there anything like this for Desire?

Thanks a lot!!

Can anyone assist me with the following problem.

I want to change the Slider icons for home/people/mail etc etc.

I used the HDwall program to create the cab but when I install the cab nothing changes on the icons (Wallpaper and top and bottom bars do change)

Ive deleted the *.bmp files and restarted but still the old icons are displayed.

Any ideas ?

You might be better off using CFC-GUI to edit the manila files for the slider. You can't make cabs with it but you can do all your personal mods using that program very easily. If you want a free cab maker, there is Quick Cab 2.0 (just search on XDA). All very easy to use.
[General Questions and Answers] gare:
Hello,

I have search and read many before posting but I do not find the solution to my problem.

I use my HTC Jade (T3232) with standard ROM as a usb and wifi modem for my laptop with windows XP. I have just purchased a netbook with windows 7 starter and I try to connect the phone as a modem.

It works perfectly with WMwifiRouter (thanks to the author) but does not work with usb.

When I launch the ICS on the phone and I plug the USB, it launches Remote RNDIS Internet sharing and creates a new network connection but this connection remains "unidentified". I assume there is an IP probleme.

I precise that the firewall has been swith off.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I've tried everything but no results. i put the rom in my sd card in did the hard-reset, but didn't loading at all, i tried many differents roms, but none of them worked. It shows that tri colour screen with these informations: Palm Tr ( IPL- 0.20)

I'm using windows 7 64bits.

Please help me i need to downgrade

Thanks
[Palm Treo 750] startngate:
You can't flash a ROM from an SD card without doing a successful HardSPL first. By virtue of your post (SPL- 0.24.0000) you haven't done it correctly yet.

I don't know if there is a way to HardSPL the phone from an SD card. Search this forum to see if anyone has reported doing it.

PS ... don't go back to WM5. There are many official and stable versions of WM6.0 which is much better than WM5.
[Palm Treo 750] br17:
Thx, but i still not having any result, if anybody else can help, pls, i'm trying everything.
[Palm Treo 750] startngate:
Well, obviously you aren't trying everything ... like doing simple research.

A quick Google search turned up that Palm doesn't have (or plan to put out) a 64bit USB driver for the Treo 750. That would explain why you can't connect it to your PC.

This thread on the subject is pretty old, but then again, so is the phone ...

http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/crawl_message?board.id=activesync&message.id=2978

So, you might want to find a PC with a 32bit OS on it and try getting your Treo to sync to it instead. If that works, then installing a factory ROM will be fairly easy. Keep in mind, you might have to edit the payload.xml file because the installer will see a more recent version of the ROM already on your phone (assuming you really have WM6.5 on it now).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=345531

There are plenty of official WM6.0 ROMs available. That would be your best option. You can find many of them here:

Hi! all. need to know how to partition SD Card for Desire. Any tutorials i can follow?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey-n:
You can use ROM Manager from the Android Market and there's an option to Partition SD Card under utilities, just install the recovery first and it will work fine.

Also you can use AM Recovery fake-flash to avoid installing ClockworkMod Recovery, but it's easier using ROM Manager

But if you are running Linux on any computer, then you can use GParted to Partition the SD Card, ask if you want steps to use GParted
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarthOps:
Any chance we could have the GParted steps, I tried using it for creating the partitions (FAT32 then Ext2) and no matter what I did I got a Damaged SD error upon remounting it in the Desire.

I'm starting to think my card is bad!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey-n:
Not in front of Linux right now, so this is off the top of my head. I'll post in the morning clear steps (better if used in card reader not using USB toggle on device)

Backup what ever is on your card first!

In the top right corner of GParted select your device and let it search for partitions on card

Unmount all partitions by right clicking on each partition and clicking unmount

Then delete those partitions by right clicking and selecting delete

(I normally apply those changes before proceeding by clicking the green tick, to make sure the partitions have cleared)

With the unpartitioned space, firstly create your FAT32 partition by right clicking and selecting FORMAT TO then FAT32 (MAKE SURE REMAINING SPACE IS IN FOLLOWING NOT PRECEEDING) then with the remaining space create your EXT2 partition exactly the same but obviously format to EXT2 and you could even add a small 32MB linux-swap partition but it's not necessary

Then apply the changes, if everything goes successfully and you are still getting remount errors, then try reflashing your ROM or a different ROM

(I'm assuming your rooted)

If you still have no luck, then your card is bad
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eggcake:
I just found out that Clockwork can only handle ext3 partitions - at least my version (2.0.1.4). If I create partitions using ROM Manager, it creates a ext2-partition. Only after I changed it to ext3 using linux I could mount the partition in Clockwork and perform wipes and backups.

Don't know if or what I did wrong, but it certainly didn't work for me (tried with multiple versions of clockwork and several times).

Hi,

I'm a total newbie to rooting/flash ect...

My phone was running an Asian ROM (chinese keyboard) 2.1-update1.

I've managed successfully updating it with European ROM & then Froyo 2.2.

Baseband 32.43.00.32

Software 2.09.405.8

Radio 5.09.00.20

Android 2.2

HBOOT 0.92.0001

2. My guess is that I have to root the phone? What's the easiest rooting method for my phone now?

3. Downloading this ROM manager?

4. Then what apps I can move to the SD card? downloaded apps and/or native apps came with the phone?

Thanks for any input.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bl@ck:
Question, i've managed to format my sdcard successfully (512mb EXT3, 128mb SWAP) now...

1. How can i check the space usage? i thought the phone would show the addictional EXT3 space as "internal storage" but i only see my internal storage empty (100mb left).

2. Is the SWAP really necessary? i don't even know if my phone will use it (my current rom is DeFrost 3.0b and has APP2SD+).

3. I've a 16gb class 2 sdcard, if my phone uses the swap space will it slow down because of it? i read that he'll use it only to store temp data.

1. Yes, APP2SD will free your phone memory and install apps on your sd card instead, mostly you get it with a custom rom don't know if you can install it on a stock rom.

2. Go in the rom section there's some guides to root your desire with hboot 0.92

3. Rom manager is only a tool to manager your phone, with taht you can download new roms, install them, reset the various caches, format and partition the sd card, etc.

4. With normal APP2SD you can move only apps that don't need constant access from the system, like games, if you put stuff like live wallpapers, widgets, apps with widgets or system related stuff (like facebook, tweeter or youtube) they'll stop working or partially work. example: if you put youtube on the sd card the app will work but the widget will disappear from you home screen.

Froyo app2sd works similar but only moves a part of the app in the sd card, mostly only the saved data, it has the same drawbacks as normal app2sd and also you can move

only

apps that have been flagged as "movable to sd card".

Instead with APP2SD+ you can move everything to your sd card without having to worry about apps/widgets disappearing or stop working BUT you've to partition your sd card with an EXT3 partition, it's where the phone will store the data.

example: you've a 4gb sd card, to make good use of app2sd+ you'll have to split the sd in 2, one EXT3 partition to install the apps and one FAT32 partition for the standard sdcard data (mp3, photo, etc.), usually a 256mb EXT3 partition is good enough to install a lot of apps but if you want more space i recommend a 512mb partition.

Btw if you root your phone and install clockwork recovery mod from Rom Manager you can re-partition your sd card from it easily with a couple of clicks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
1) There is a terminal command (possibly su "free") however I can't remember right now

2) no most roms don't use it its not necessary on newer phones at all really.

3) your swap space is not being touched if your rom does not use it so its not doing anything other than reducing the size of your sd card.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bl@ck:
o,ok thanks

i'll have to re-partition the SD Card, before i do something rash you know if the process will reset also the EXT3 partition? since looks like the phone moved all the apps in it and i'll lose everything.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
depending on your recovery you can nandroid+ext backup, re do your sd card (save the backup first) then restore that backup, and it will restore your ext as well.
