[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bouncer5:
So im using the app, On the website my calendars are in there colors, Blue green brown purple, all that

My name@gmail.com calender is purple and shows that color on the phone, Whilst my other 3 calenders don't show up there color, They just appear red and my gfs calender of name@gmail.com shows up the color I gave it online,

Also unless I click into the calender date, they have a green bar

Am I missing something here?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bouncer5:
Small bump, I have been digging in this app, I still cant seem to find a way to get my calenders to show up with a custom color other than red, As I said my synced email calender is fine, but not the others,

Still looking for help :confused:

Cheers
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy1120:
The colours are only able to be changed online.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bouncer5:
Far enough having to change them online, but what I change them to online should still show up on the phone, otherwise the calendar app has become rather pointless
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jabbafat23:
Error between Google calendar and the phone. You can only use the bottom 3 rows of colours if you want them to match up on the phone. Suck part is that its the lighter shades that you're able to use and not the darker.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bouncer5:
Shall give that a try, A color is a color, as long as its not, Any idea if it is something that can be fixed?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jabbafat23:
It was mentioned around here somewhere. Don't know where the fault is. Could be HTC, could be Google
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bouncer5:
The other thing is I cannot seem to get it to alert me to recurring events, Is I add a new event it works,

Suggestions?

Is it possible to brick your phone without crashing the software

the answer is yes

this is for those of you who like me have trackball/jumpy cursor scrolling issues

that area of our phones is poorly built. this is why htc has abandoned the trackball in all phones for the touch pad.

if you are starting to have track ball issues i highly suggest you start take the necessary steps to either a) clean the trackball or b) get a replacement

once your trackball goes you then can no longer have full access to amon-ra recovery like what happened to me.

by my bad luck i flash a bad rom which some how corrupted my usb drivers

so therefore

no trackball means no amon

no usb drivers take the "b" out of "adb"

so to conclude take care of you trackball issues

its not so bad at first but will degrade and completely fail like mine did

and could possibly leave you stuck
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
Replace it >_>

and yeah I clean mine out once in a while, I loved this thing until it crapped out.
[Droid Eris General] DS36:
yea but the problem with that is that some people like me...are bothered about the fact that i have no choice but to send verizon a hacked phone with a loaded rom on there and cant get it off

but monday my replacement will be here
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
So magnet it >_>
[Droid Eris General] bftb0:
Amon_RA runs adbd by default, so you can push/pull files to the SD card no matter what OS (even none) is loaded, and the trackball isn't needed for that.

You can also run nandroid-mobile.sh with Amon_RA booted from the command line (from an adb shell) to either backup or restore prior backups. This does not require the use of the trackball; nor does it have any dependency on "USB drivers".

I think that many other entries in the Amon_RA recovery are implemented as scripts, so probably many things you think you can't do (because of a broken trackball) are indeed possible using an adb shell.

It is possible that your trackball assembly got so bolluxed up that it was also responsible for the loss of USB connectivity; in that case none of this matters.

Bottom line, though - even though it won't fix a trackball problem, is that if you have either the 1.49.2000 S-OFF bootloader running on the phone, or Amon_RA, you can "unbrick" from the state you described.

If USB is gone because of a mechanical/electrical issue, things are a bit more grim than that.

bftb0
[Droid Eris General] DS36:
thank for the great info

but thats exactly my problem the usb drivers were corrupted NO pc connection at all... i confirmed this with my girl friends phone it works fine

also windows says "usb device not recognized"

I really really hope htc/verizon dont charge me up for sending them this hacked phone cause right now i have no choice.
[Droid Eris General] bftb0:
There are no "USB drivers" on the Eris. You could completely erase the main OS on the phone, and that would have absolutely no effect on the behavior of Amon_RA recovery. It sounds more like mechanical or electrical damage of the USB port itself if adb does not work in either the OS or Amon_RA.

I suppose you checked the possibility of a bad cable using the gf-phone test.

The other thing you might be overlooking is that if you put the leak-V3 PB00IMG.ZIP file on your SD card (use a card reader or your gf's phone), installation of that does not require use of the trackball. Your phone will be much closer to a factory state at that point.

[Droid Eris General] DS36:
great great idea i was thinking of doing this

and also it should reinstall the drivers too will report back on the progress

[HTC Aria Accessories] xdafly:
anyone recommend one of these?

also need a couple protective cases, what's good?
[HTC Aria Accessories] cegna09:
the one listed for the Aria should be fine. you just need one with a micro USB connector. I have a power outlet to USB port adaptor in my car, and just use a normal USB cable for charging. saves me the hassle of buying a new charger each time i get a new phone.

i haven't felt the need for a case yet, so no recomendations from me there.
[HTC Aria Accessories] savedR:
I can't find it on the website, but Walmart has a DC car charger with just two female USB ports, which is awesome, would actually let you charge two USB devices at the same time using the original charge cable. (Also, since HTC is awesome enough to use normal mini-USB ports, a replacement cable is like $10, not $29 as with iPhone). Anyone have one of these that can confirm it works with the Aria?
[HTC Aria Accessories] gtg465x:
Like others said, you don't need a car charger specifically for the Aria. Just look for the cheapest micro (not mini) usb charger you can find. I picked one up from my local Fry's for $4.
[HTC Aria Accessories] xdafly:
I have two Honda CRV's and both come equipped with USB port.

Does that mean that any 'ol generic miniport connector will work as "a charger" ?

If anyone comes up with a suggestion for "cradling" inside car, please post

Thanks for the replies.
[HTC Aria Accessories] xdafly:
does this page list the device that is recommended ? the 3.99 item?

maybe these

[HTC Aria Accessories] xdafly:
any reason this cable would NOT work with Aria ?
[HTC Aria Accessories] cegna09:
Any microUSB cable should work, that is the beauty of companies that stuck with connector standards.

a great place for cables is monoprice.com. really cheap price for great quality stuff. I grabbed 4 microUSB cables, an HDMI, and some component cables from there for less than $10.

I am not happy at all abuot the sound quality its too low, so I contacted them and ther reply is:

Thank you for contacting our Customer Support Center. With regards to your inquiry, Please note that we didn’t receive any problems with HTC desire volume ,however you can search over android market for a 3rd party application to raise the device’s volume Thank you once again for your continued patronage. Best regards :(

anyone know any apps k and r u happy with the volume , please contact theme if your not let theme know about this issu

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhypr:
You aren't very clear. Is your problem the quality or the volume? And is your phone branded or not? Branded phones are sometimes limited in volume.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubblesmoney:
i am not happy about the low handsfree rear speaker volume either. the phone ear piece speaker is ok volume wise. but the handsfree speaker is pretty crap and might probably take the crown for the worst handsfree speaker on the market. i have two desire phones and both are the same. loads of similar complaints on many forums (moneysavingexpert, avforums, three blog and others). htc must be having the heads in the sand if they havent heard about it. i think it is a deliberate denial of an obvious poor handsfree speaker, htc had some chap called dave who said he was following the posts on three blog and replied about poor stocks etc so HTC is aware about this issue, they are just dishing out denials or htc tech guys need to have their ears checked ASAP.

just put anyother phone or media player next to the htc desire and play the same sound / music via all the devices and htc desire will most probably take the crown for having the poorest rear speaker. at high volumes (which one needs anyway if one wants to hear in anywhere where the background noise is present) there is a lot of treble noise. on my archos 605 if i keep half the volume, for the same clip i wont get as good a volume on my desire at full volume. it is pretty easy to miss the notifications when out and about because one didnt hear the notifications.

the poor volume is obvious while using google navigation. while tomtom 760T has a great volume, but when i use the desires speakers for navigation voice, i have to keep the music off and can get tricky in busy traffic as sometimes the volume isnt enough or is barely enough. this might not be a problem when using car stereo with bluetooth but my car stereo does not have bluetooth or an input socket in the front as it is a few years old car.

the notifications volume must be with some internal settings i canty access as i have tried adjusting everything but it does not make a difference, or much of it. but the new yahoomail app i got from the market has a much much better volume that is easily audible. for the other notifications i downloaded the 'car mode' app that makes the notifications louder by using the rear speaker, i guess otherwise it uses the earpiece speaker by default, hence the low volume for the notifications. the volume is ok when inside and when it is quiet but just not enough when out and about. i didnt have a problem with speaker volumes with any of my handsets in the last decade, i am just adding that my ears are fine as they get checked by occupational health at work!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faisalak:
I bought 2 HTC Desire phones for me & my wife. Both of them have the most lowest & weakest speakerphones I have witnessed in any phone over the last 10 years. Even the regular flip phones which are not smartphones had the good quality speakerphones for conference. It's a shame having such a Flagship phone with pathetic speakerphone.

I called HTC customer service and though I already new their scripted answer I still asked 'Is it a known issue?'. There reply was what I expected. Complete Denial. 'No, this is the first time we are hearing it.' What a joke. I told him to do some google and check the forums. I also complimented him for lying so well.

He asked me to do soft reset, hard reset and do factory reset which would wipe out all data. Simply put they were giving me a run around & wasting my time so I stopped him right there that son I have already done that.

He transferred me to their Repair department, who turned out to be Telus customer service and they said since it's a new phone you have a 1 year warranty, take your phone to the store you bought it from with the receipt and they'll replace it. I asked what if the replaced phone also have the same problem then what are my options. She said you need to discuss it with the store from where you bought it from, they can let you have another phone but you can't break the 3 year contract.

Dealing with the phones issue is frustrating enough and on top of that frustration caused by the absolute denial by HTC's customer service & not providing a solution is totally unacceptable. I'm selling my HTC Desire on ebay and probably buy the Nokia N8.

Sometimes all what a customer needs is an apology and admission that yes we are not crazy, there is a known issuee with the phone and they'll fix it. But they are following on the footsteps of Apple who literally made their customers feel like they are crazy when they reported about iphone 4 antenna issues. Shame on Apple for telling them that they are not holding the phone properly as if dealing with ignorant kids. Such behavior isn't expected from such large and reputable corporations. Nokia on the other hand makes the best phones and admit their problems and fix them.

What do expect from a tiny rear speaker?? If you want decent sound then plug in some speakers!!

Or are you the annoying twats who play music when in public?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
To be fair, I also have a T-Mobile Pulse Mini as a backup phone, and the internal speaker is way, way, better than the one on the Desire.

IMHO, the Desire's speak is "ok", if you want to take/make a handsfree call whilst sitting at your desk, but is worse than useless if you are in a car - for both taking calls and satellite navigation. I do have bluetooth handsfree, so it is less of an issue for me personally, but given the price of the phone I think they could've made the internal speaker a little higher quality.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
But the phone isn't a media player in the traditional sense, you wouldn't watch a film on it without headphones...given, it could be a bit louder for the navigation side of things but I've got Sat Nav for that...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I wouldn't only because it would sound terrible from the external speaker. If it sounded better, it is something that I might well do.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackitZ:
Hi everyone,

I have a question or maybe someone can give me some advice?

Is there an application that can do this or maybe a terminal app, and someone knows the commands to enter?

I am very anal and a complete neat freak, so my sd card on my xperia looks very unorganized. I have tried to create a folder called android and move all the dependent files to android there but the folders and files just get recreated.

I would love to have my sd card Folders look like:

Android (defualt for android),

Music,

Pictures,

Movies,

Temp,

and so on.

does anyone know how this type of organization could be done, I have an X10a rooted. So could i not open a terminal and change the default path to my sd card to a folder rather than the root of the card.

So this would make android put anything it wanted to write to the sd card into a folder called Android.

Hope someone is as anal as me and has figured out a way to do this.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvrzl:
I agree and would also like to know if there's an option to deal with this. I think it's absurd that Android defaults to dumping temp files an app folders all over the sdcard with no actual organization. I can't think think of a single reason why it can't just put all of these things in an "Android" folder and make a giant mess out of that, instead of doing it right in the sdcard root.

This was posted in July and this is the first response. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm going to ask if the moderators good move this thread to a more general forum like the android q&a?

would be nice to have all sym links go to an android folder, instead of the root of the sd card. or maybe the android files need to be on root?

still searching......
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
I am afraid this cant be done - every Android app has a ability to write wherever on sdcard. There is dierectory Android, which is default for every android app data.

Some developers respect it some not, many apps dont write do /sdcard/Android but creates their own dirs wherever on sdcard.

I think about one solution, because I am linux geek and hopefully many thinks could be done on Android similar way

:D :D :D

Repartition the sdcard with two discs - one to be mounted as /mnt/sdcard - where all of the junk stuff and android configs will be stored as usual and second one partition (bigger) mounted eg. as /mnt/ext_sdcard

But there is one problem, because not all of apps are able to work with files on eternal storage....

Good luck. Supposedly you'll need at least root access and manually edit the image files of said widgets. I don't know if you can just over-write the old ones or if you actually have to make a package to install.
