Beat me to it too!!

Great news. Although I wonder what they mean by "beginning IN Q3" (as opposed to "beginning of Q3"). I'm assuming it means that just one of those phones will see Froyo at some point in Q3. In which case, let's hope the Desire is the first. It should need the least work over the N1 compared to the others (I guess). Still, Q3 stretches all the way out to September. But great news nevertheless. Lets just hope they can deliver.
[Desire General] Thugsin313:
I guess its either going to be the Evo4G or the Desire, because they are the flagship devices from HTC at the moment, legend and the other ones will be getting it later on.
[Desire General] XDA mark:
HTC after Google IO (when froyo was officialy shown to the world):

'Blablabla all 2010 models get froyo. We are STARTING with the Desire and Incredible. Other models as the Evo 4G will get it after.'

Off course they could have changed their strategy. But I am expecting froyo before the Legend and Wildfire.

Great news anyway, starting from a few days we could get froyo. I am sooooooooo F'in tired of the 'low internal memory' notification. I cant even open my SMS messages sometimes for the love of god! I mean, come on. My SMS messages -.-
[Desire General] Thugsin313:
lmao @ your signature!!
[Desire General] cez10:
that means any time starting from next week :D
[Desire General] gazebee:
True that. I'm glad that the speculation can end now with the official statement. Let the waiting begin.
[Desire General] gogol:
I am not convinced ... Q3 2010 ? or Q3 2011 ? :D

/jk
[Desire General] Zimeon:
This is great news :) Hope soon and polished :D
[Desire General] HDW:
Hoping for July then :D
[Desire General] dragonithe:
I would love it to have in Q3, but we probably will get it as a xmas present ...
[Desire General] Rage1ofakind:
Hopefully the HTC team learnt something from the Hero saga (i actually gave my hero back and got desire becuase of 2.1)
[Desire General] kekkle:
Well, technically, Q3 begins in 2 days. :D
[Desire General] XDA mark:
Nee hoor ;)

I think the competition has changed for HTC. Why would somebody pick up a 2.1 Desire when a 2.2 Motorola or Samsung device is right next to it? With the Hero they didn't have any big competition like now.

Btw, I have seen multiple people say that going from 2.1 to 2.2 is not so hard (compared from 1.5 to 2.1 with the Hero's hardware). Is this true?
[Desire General] Stretlow:
Yeah, not updating current phones increases our sales :D
[Desire General] dexteral:
Finally i hope it is soon :D
[Desire General] ransagy:
Just got my HTC Desire this week. Here's hoping to a quick update, i don't want to root it just yet for the Hebrew support if 2.2 (who has the fonts) is around the corner.
[Desire General] hyocca:
OMG!

I'll pray for this to happen man.

Srsly need the update.

you don't know how crazy it is.

I have never been a like phone freak, phone nerd of whatever you call it.

But since the desire and that froyo 2.2 video update thing

you just want the update badly.

And btw i tasted a real frozen yoghurt. And it just makes you sad.

cause you'll be like. If only this was inside my phone.

Seriously.

2.2 PLEASE! :D

Can someone help me find a replacement Digitizer?

I bought my phone off of eBay a while back and it had scratches on the screen, now I want a new screen. I thought about getting one from eBay, but someone told me that those were cheaply made and came from China. And that if I tried replacing one myself It could maybe not work correctly or I could get some particles in between the screens.

Is there a place that I can get it repaired?

Also my phone won't charge anymore unless I put it in a certain position...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] devalian:
i got mine from ebay recently. well, i got it for T7373 international version tp2 instead.

what i would advise is, avoid from getting those cheap digitizer. they work sucks with finger. now i only able to use my tp2 with either stylus or fingernail which is seriously terrible.

and i changed it all myself. weirdly is, the digitizer need some glue to glue it to the tp2. a bad experience i had anyway.

sending my set back to my distributor for cleaning up mess soon. :(

Hi all!

I started again a new thread where i write down my findings in the MR2 release of the X2. It's originally on the Esato-forums, so i just put the link over here:

Nice THKS.

7. When hanging up a phonecall, the phone makes three loud beeps via the rear speaker. WHY???

same here... but only if the person u talk to hangs up first. its so annoying.
[XPERIA X2 General] hertell:
YEp, and having the phone on silent does not make things better either...
[XPERIA X2 General] darkbuster5:

i used registry editor and changed the value of calldrop from p(play) to none.
[XPERIA X2 General] Lerka:
IT WORKED!!!

thank youuu :D
[XPERIA X2 General] Detchen:
wifi

Hi! I have a similar issue with the wifi that PanichUS described.

The phone sees the network, tells that it's available, but I am not able to connect to it (so I can not do internet browsing, read the emails, etc.)

This happened to me while switching from one network to another, which were in two different places (and the phone was showing the network still available of the place I have already left). But in my case rebooting the phone did not help.

This is not the only case. The same thing also happens to me after I use bluetooth. The phone is connected to the wifi network (I could do internet browsing, etc.), I use bluetooth, and after that I can no more recover the connection. Again it shows that the network is available, but I can not connect to it.

The only thing which helped by now was restarting my house router.

Is the MR2 the last release of the firmware by date? I have bought my phone recently, and for me it seems that it was updated: I have radio, and the theme with grey background (X2 Titan) was activated in the very beginning.
[XPERIA X2 General] PanichUS:
MR2 is last update for X2. Don't wait another update.

Try turn off Wifi in Communication manager before power off and turn on Wifi back in Communication manager after power on.
[XPERIA X2 General] Detchen:
Wifi

I have discovered that in fact I don't have problem to connect when using an open network, while with the protected one is always an issue.

Reboot of the phone doesn't change anything even if before doing it I switch off wifi in the connections manager and delete all the settings. Nothing - only reset of the router what helps.

I also tried to use other software (Wifi Monster) - the same thing.

The phone is really wonderful, it really has it's spirit with all these panels and generally the interface, but the wifi issue is really annoying!
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
My advice - don't install Resco Photo manager on X2.

Great app but works very bad on X2.
[XPERIA X2 General] Author:
I instaled older version Resco.Photo.Manager 7.03. This work good.

Wisbaradvance 4.05 is verry unstable,problems and problems.

I take absolutely no credit for anything in here. I am simply re-posting the guide developed by Paul O'Brien at Modaco since I figured it will be a valuable resource for new and old members alike. Without further ado, I give you Paul's Streak Rooting Guide:

Looking forward to flashing new ROMs!

Can some one in laymans terms explain what root is. Is it like HARDSPL on a Windows mobile device i need to know a bit more and why i would need it

thanks new to android :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
no..

you need to get your head around how linux works really to understand this.

there's various degrees of permission granted to "users" to do various things (such as access parts of the operating system or file system)

Root is the boss, or "superuser" and has access to all these.

most devices don't come "rooted" because of a)potential security breaches b)you can mess up the device if you start mucking about too much ;)

this is from the first g1 so is a bit old now, but the theory is relevant

Thanks for that now its starting to make sense :)

I must do root for my streak.because i ned to use barnacle.i wait next update to froyo or i go to root?
[Streak 5 Android Development] spences10:
SuperBoot - SuperQuick

This is an awesome root method, by far the fastest root i have done on any of my devices. I think the most difficult was trying to root my Magic [with perfect SPL on 1.6] which took me around 6 weeks of trying. This method took around fifteen minutes to make sure I had the correct drivers then 'click' and youre rooted.

Looks like this still isnt in the states yet so rom production will be slow to start with.

But hey - ROOT!!
[Streak 5 Android Development] RiNo808:
If i root the dell streak will i loose OTA updates?
[Streak 5 Android Development] spences10:
Hmmm, thats a good question. There is an option to check for updates in the 'about' section of the settings and it seems to work still. Working as in its telling me my device us still running dated firmware.
[Streak 5 Android Development] cue_32:
If this is the same as the Nexus One... if you have a modified recovery then you wont be able to install the OTA update.
[Streak 5 Android Development] spences10:
So when we hear that an OTA update is coming we need to go back to stock recovery? Or stock recovery and stock [unrooted] ROM?

Confirming Dell Streak US [AT&T] Works!!!

Guys,

Just wanted everyone to know that I have successfully rooted my AT&T Dell Streak [US] using the method posted at the begining of the thread. However, I used the r2-4399-streak-superboot.zip found here: http://android.modaco.com/content/d...-4399-how-to-root-your-dell-streak-superboot/

For those of you who are rooted and have the us att dell streak, how did you get the drivers downloaded to your pc?

I just want to root this streak and be able to enjoy 2.1, thanks in advance for the help
[Streak 5 Android Development] STraver:
Rooting the US Streak

I found a post (search with Dogpile for "rooting the us streak") which detailed how to open device manager, select update driver, and select options to change the driver. This driver may be in the superboot file you have already downloaded. Anyway, once I changed the driver, it worked. (although I have the changed LED behavior detailed above. Do the web search and you'll find the post quickly. Hope this helps!;)

[Streak 5 General] SoberGuy:
Just curious if you have any info on a release here in the states? I've been only casually following the Streak news since I picked up the N1 a month ago.

I'm still not 100% sold on the Streak. I'm a tad leary of Dell (in the smartphone arena), unsure of what crap AT&T will put on it...and a bit concerned about the goddamn massive screen.... But I really want to play with one of these bad boys and see if I can deal with it.

Anyway, I'll keep checking in to see if we get release dates and prices.
[Streak 5 General] Muo:
Unfortunately no I do not. One time when bugging the Dell sales chat someone said "check around the first or second week of July". More than likely Dell will just randomly place the Streak on their US online department like they just did for the unlocked version for the UK.

I completely agree with you about being a bit leary of Dell in the smartphone arena. But the way I look at it, a good product is a good product. I really think Dell hit the nail on the head with this product. Of coarse if this is an AT&T launch the Streak will be loaded with AT&T crap and locked. Good thing Paul has already rooted this thing, but no ROMs as of yet. To this day I refuse to purchase cell phones from a service provider like AT&T. Due to their data charges because they know you have a smartphone and the bs branding of AT&T everywhere. Plus dealing with cell phone retail sales rep really blows here in the states.

I am not, I am looking forward to dwarfing EVERYONE's phone, including the new crappy iphone.

Rumor has it, the Dell Streak will be available for $500.00 dollars unlocked on their website. To me, that is an insanely good buy!

By the way, check this out: at least Dell is making some noise somewhere in the states about the Streak. To bad it is to crappy highschoolers!
[Streak 5 General] vinokirk:
Same here, but it seems good so far (24 hrs of use :D)
[Streak 5 General] SoberGuy:
Thanks, man. After just shelling out 529 plus tax for the N1... Eh, I still want to play with the Streak. Might end up getting one. And on the screen...I guess I have mixed emotions, ya know? 5" sounds great, don't get me wrong. Just worried about the pocketability (oh hell yeah) if it. But I'll always have the Sexy Nexy for the times when I need something a little slimmer.
[Streak 5 General] SoberGuy:
Good to hear! I'm a bit concerned about the issue of scratching around those touch keys (home, menu, etc). The good thing about phones getting released in Europe first is that we yanks get to spend a month or so reading lots of hands on reviews from real users.
[Streak 5 General] vinokirk:
Yeah and time for Dell to change the unit itself to be better! As we saw with the HD2!

[HD2 General] se1988:
try installing cookies home tab again, if that doesnt work there is always possible to hard-reset;)
[HD2 General] morpheus1982:
How about configuring CHT to look like the stock home screen? Eg, set only one screen for 9 quicklinks can be configured I think...

In my experience, uninstalling CHT stops Sense from loading. Never an issue for me though as I am upgrading CHT when I do this.
[HD2 General] xptak:
Try read Troubleshooting: at [Manila Mod][19-Jun-2010] Co0kie's Home Tab v1.8.5

Q: After uninstaling CHT, sense doesn't work, or it works but the home menu doesn't come up.

A: Copy \windows\home_pages.xml to \windows\manilaxml\home_pages.xml (overwrite existing file). Then delete \windows\manilafull.xml and soft reset.

Tested and worked
[EVO 4G General] oblivion0:
Hi Everyone,

Quick question for all that have updated their Evos to 1.47.651.1-1.32.651.6, have you noticed an increase in battery life?

I can say unequivocally that I have, and it has made me fall in love with my Evo all over again.

Last night I did a test, on full battery life I left my phone unplugged for approximately 8 hours. The following morning I noticed it drained little more than 20%. Prior to the update, it would drain almost completely overnight.

Has anyone else noticed similar increases in their charge lifespan? I'm curious.

I have to give kudos to HTC...this being my second HTC phone after migrating from the G1 - the update is great and painless!! Can't wait for Froyo 2.2. :]
[EVO 4G General] PLESTIUC:
over 20% drop in 8 hours on standby? that is hardly positive. my EVo only drops between 3% and 5% in 7 hours of standby.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Mine has been fantastic, as per my post in this topic. Currently I'm at 95% after 3 hours of use.
[EVO 4G General] kcasante:
Such a vast improvement huh? Well I guess I'll have to do that test for myself. I've noticed some improvements but not enough to miss my old iPhone's battery life. Could also be because I was one of those idiots dupt into buying the AMZER 1800mAh battery (Which let me tell you; gives you NO increase, at $50)
[EVO 4G General] oblivion0:
Prior to the update, I would lose nearly all my battery life after 8 hours. I could probably do a better job of managing apps and whatnot, but for a single update to add such a leap in battery performance I can't raise my nose to HTC!
[EVO 4G General] DINLONG:
Been off the charger for a little over 5 hours - just hit 90%. I usually have the quick drop into the low 90's within minutes - didn't happen today. That was a first!
[EVO 4G General] kcasante:
I hear you;

I love this thing.

I find it better than all my old iPhones but I gotta say: HTC has been in the game waaay longer then Apple, How come they haven't found that magic that Apple has with their battery life? Atleast offer a decent upgrade option to the standard...
[EVO 4G General] acrh2:
About the same here. Maybe double that if bluetooth is on.
[EVO 4G General] Vandam500:
Losing that much battery while in standby is not normal IMO. You should be losing around 5% during that time, 10% tops. Definitely check your sync settings and whatnot.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
I think 20% after 8 hours of standby is pretty great. 5% after 8 hours of standby would be insane.
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
Has the Evo lowered your standards? 20% for 8 hours is ridiculously low, maybe you are not managing apps and services properly. I can easily get a full night of rest starting at 100% and have 95% when I wake up.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
That would be improbable to me. I've never gotten battery life like that with ANY mobile device I've had (and you can see that is quite a few). I'm assuming that when you say "standby" you mean sleeping with the screen off and not completely powered off. I could see it happening with the latter option but never the first--especially with the radio on.
[EVO 4G General] oblivion0:
Lowered my standards? Not by a long shot buddy. If anything at all, the Evo has been a testament to the Android platform's amazing scalability and robustness.

I'm coming from a G1, so buying the Evo was a major Android technology jump. I had big time complaints with battery life, and in less than two weeks I get a major update that significantly increased the device's overall life - all without having to shell out cash for a so-called "extended battery".

I'd say that's a pretty big deal, and HTC didn't have to tell me to "hold the phone differently." lol
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Exactly WHICH iphone was this? Because I had a 3g and a 3gs and the ONLY way I made it a whole day when I actually used the phone was to buy one of those mophie juicepack things. The battery was garbage on both. To the OP, my battery is definitely improved after the update. Been off the charge about 7 hours now with pretty moderate usage, emails/twitter/facebook all updating frequently, texts and using the cam and im sitting at 76% right now.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
You must having NOTHING on to get that. Radio must be off too there's no way you're going to have data running and get that.
[EVO 4G General] Philosuffer:
3 hours of use, or 3 hours off the charger?

I followed your advice in your thread too, btw. No task killer, only autostarts and battery saver profile in dconfig.

Went 1d15hrs (39 hours) without using a charger with about a 6hr awake time.
[EVO 4G General] nbakid2000:
I'm waiting on a 3500 mAh battery to be released within the next week or two (supposedly) for 70 bucks.

The 1800 mAh batteries do nothing. I was strongly advised against it at a local battery store here in town.

Either way, my phone did not receive the new update, so I can't see any difference in my phone life.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
I'm not downloading it because I enjoy my root and wifi tether. I hope someone figures out a way to mod the update for us rooted users, after they release it again. Haha.
[EVO 4G General] DINLONG:
the update for root has been out since yesterday morning. used it on my phone, it works perfect.
[EVO 4G General] gigadigit:
I am noticing a better battery life after the upgrade also.

I bought the 2 batteries with charger from ebay for $10. they've been working great, almost the same as the stock battery.
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
I updated my stock EVO yesterday morning, and changed nothing in the way I use it. I have noticed no change in battery stamina. Same as it was before the update.

I will say that on my wife's EVO, (she didn't get the update) he battery was regularly draining all the way to shut-down, easily halfway through the day. I checked all of her settings, and still drained quickly. I finally just reset to factory, and now her battery life is right on par with mine. (she also reinstalled all of the apps that she had previously installed before the wipe)
[EVO 4G General] Sawdizzle:
It most definitely increased my Battery Life.

I work 12 hour shifts and always had to charge about mid day as the battery would get around 50% in just 6hrs. Here i am now with the phone being unplugged for 9 hrs now and Im just now at 69%. Thats with average use. TXTing, playing music in the car, etc.

Im loving it again.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
I was referring to 3 hours off the charger with some use thrown in there. Currently at 8.5 hours off the charger and still with 85% of the battery. :D
