[Hero CDMA General] obsanity:
Well, until there are some statistics to prove it, as it currently stands, Hero is the most popular and most used phones HTC has out on any carer, anywhere and I also believe any OS.

I'm sure the EVO is going to be at the top next month but I wouldn't place my bets just yet. Don't forget that EVO is sprint only and hero has the GSM brother.

So once more... way to go HTC for not keeping your most popular phone up-to-date.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] soraxd:
i need to get the drivers for the galaxy S so that my phone can be reconized by my computer. my computer is semi broken, and it would take over a day to install Samsung Kies its so slow.. is there anywhere i can just get the drivers, so that my phone can be reconized?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bakalamaka:
You can extract the kies installation package with 7zip or similar. Navigate to CabFile/USB Driver. Unarchive the cab package. You will get the USB drivers installer. Run this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] monzablue16v:
WHS ^^ Just done that on my win 7 X64 box. Works a treat :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rskx:
I've ran the installer however the device is still listed as unknown within windows device manager. I've also tried installing the latest version of bloatware kies and factory reset the phone. I've tried installing on both x86 win 7 & xp but the device is never recognised, I would put it down to the galaxy wire malfunctioning but it does manage to charge when plugged into the USB :(

Can anyone provide me with the specific drivers for galaxy S or know which of the folders within ..\SAMSUNG\usb_drivers\ is specifically for the galaxy?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chinedu40:
This may sound extremely stupid, but make sure you are using the original cable that came with the phone, that sorted out all the problems for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] finlay666:
I got mine today, fired up kies and found it horrendous so uninstalled it, I changed it to Mass-usb device from the settings menu, need to mount it but no other issues
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sami00:
i did the same thing but my pc doesn't recognize the USB mass storage. should i factory reset my phone? :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snoopy997s:
Hello,

How do I get OTA updates back on my N1 after rooting/unlocking and using a custom rom. What rom do I need to use to get OTA back?

Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macmee:
I too would like to know this.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
You can't. You need stock recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macmee:
The only thing I have to do is flash stock recovery?

Is it even worth it :P
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markdental:
Why do you need OTA when the devs have given you the ability to update via .zip files?

You can easily go back to stock recovery using ROM Manager in the market.
[EVO 4G General] avalst:
you can already do that with the "no lock" widget. the only trouble is it disables the lock screen. that's not much of a problem for me though. and you can reaenable it with a nice toggle widget on the screen for times you want the screen to lock. (when in a pocket)
[EVO 4G General] Minjin:
Then that isn't exactly a "fix".
[EVO 4G General] sw99:
Just an FYI. I found a great app for rooted phones that provides shortcuts to allow you to reboot your phone into:

1) Standard Boot

2) Recovery

3) Bootloader.

I just leave it far out of the way so that I don't hit it accidentally.

It's called "Quick Boot" and available in the Market.
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
Glad to have this all in 1 place.

Make sure to add links to the works in progress.

We should add a fix for camera grain & general quality.

For the first time in the history of this forum I'm gonna recommended that this be put in dev.

[EVO 4G General] daneurysm:
Hey, OP, Edit this in under the Audio section....this is by far my biggest disappointment with this unity, as my Samsung Moment took care of this beautifully...

Disable/Optional AGC (automatic gain control) on microphone input.

My Moment had an option to disable it for recording. I had recorded my band's (extremely loud) practices with my Moment and the recordings were absolutely fantastic for a single piezo mic in an imperfect room under extreme SPL torture. I've been recording for nearly 17 years now, with real equipment...but it's so handy to have a rather capable CD quality recorder in your pocket.

download "hertz", or another audio recorder. We can do CD quality (44.1khz 16-bit mono) as it is... but with the AGC on it pumps and breaths and sounds completely terrible...even for voice recordings.
[EVO 4G General] snowglyder:
Wow, great list! Video and audio recording quality at the top of the list for me. FM Transmitter huh? Didn't even know it had one! :eek:

I'd like to see built-in settings for the camera that are easily accessible. Preset configurations for brightness, white balance, iso, etc for certain shots. (ie. outdoor, night, people) Even if we couldn't get preset settings, a way to save settings and easily load them would be nice.

I like the idea of making the volume button the shutter. Would it be possible to make the power button function as the shutter when in camera/camcorder mode, and have the volume rocker zoom in/out?
[EVO 4G General] psych2l:
well it'd defiantly be nice for any of these issues to be addressed. Thanks for putting up a wish list OP, helps keep everything organized.
[EVO 4G General] oldboynet:
Ability to use a BT keyboard with Android Terminal or general text entry.
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
How about a fixed/updated/replaced BT Audio stack for higher quality?

Forced FLAC/ALAC support (Yes, this is supposed to be coming in Gingerbread, but having it now in Eclair/Froyo would be good!)
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
I like all the others but I disagree with the 360 rotation, I stopped using fresh because the 270 rotation.
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
Yep, keep that the way it is! Or optional, because 270 already sucks 360 is even worse.

How are we supposed to tap away on our screens while lying sideways in bed? :p

This could be added.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7178242

Also this could be altered.

To include color change but more importantly dimming and brightening of the leds, specifically to help with light bleed issues.

If my bottom keys were just a tad less bright i wouldn't want to replace the phone so badly.

So far looks great!

If all these were resolved I would love my Evo so much more.
[EVO 4G General] Minjin:
This is a little vague. Do you have or know specifics? Improve bitrate? Improve response time? Lower noise floor? I'll leave it the way it is for now but lets try to firm it up a bit.

Updates have been made.
[EVO 4G General] DrawnToScale:
Cut & Paste

I'd like a reliable consistent method to cut & paste selected text.

I've found the the "long tap" method of bringing up a cut or paste tool does not work in all cases. I want to be able to cut text from emails, web sites, etc - no matter which app I use to view this text. Similarly, I want to be able to paste text into emails, the URL window in the browser, misc text fields, etc. The "long tap" method works only in some cases.

I want to cut selected text / words - not entire paragraphs. Sometimes I get a tool that helps do this (Sense?), other times not.
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
Also, this may sound stupid but holding down one of the soft keyboard's arrow keys should keep moving the cursor.

Shouldn't need to click 100 times to get from one side of a sentence to another LOL.

This should've been included already..

After holding for a second or so it starts going automatically until you release.
[EVO 4G General] Minjin:
So what things do we need to update now that 2.2 is here and we've had a chance to play with it for a while?

What should we cross off and what should we add?
[EVO 4G General] Jeremiah239:
I would love to see an EQ for the sense music player.
[EVO 4G General] lextildeath:
I am completely stock on the .6 update. So far, I noticed that:

1) In the camera app> switching to front facing camera> undoing mirror mode...

It works great in landscape mode, but turn it vertical and it shows you upside down!

2) Regarding music, I only use Pandora so far. The experience was good on 2.1 and now sucks on the .3 and .6 updates:

2a) Even in high quality mode and plugged right into my car's aux input, the sound is pretty bad. The highs are too high, and the low frequencies are muffled and distorted sounding - this is without even taking the sound system to the limit. I am not just talking about fine tuning this sound - it has a long way to go. This sound is way off even for "normal people" listening. Also, yes it should have an EQ, or at least a bunch of preset EQ's for different music styles.

2b) Pandora used to just pause during a phone car or while using nav. Then, it would resume. Since the .3 update, and now even on the .6 update, it pauses Pandora and then I have to go back to Pandora and click play again.

3) Also regarding navigation, It is a pain in the ass that you have to hit the "GPS" switch widget and then open nav. Also, if you turn off the "GPS" switch widget but leave nav on, nav won't shut itself off. Then, you go back to nav to shut if off.. it makes you turn on GPS again, and then go back to nav to officially say "exit navigation". Then, you STILL have to go back to the GPS widget and turn it off!

4) Text messages are very useful for acquiring an address or email address. When getting one through text, I can not copy the info to move to nav or email. I have to go to forward, then copy (and I cant even copy just what I want - I have to copy all, including "FWD:") Then I have to cancel the forward, and then paste it where I need it. We should be able to copy whatever we want, including in texts.
[EVO 4G General] gmelchert:
1. stop compressing mms pics so much

2. Where the hell is iTunes streaming?? I thought google was going to release it with froyo.. as well as a music, video and online market. I'm not seeing more than a demo market that shows some top apps

3. Add a native eq... at least give some presets, though a graphic eq would be awesome

4. stop being so lazy htc and work on these things.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tri3Dent:
Good news everyone,

People who have the Rogers X10a can now be updated using SEUS.

1. Download SEUS:

http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/110/61/1275980198/Update_Service_Setup-2.10.6.21.exe

2. Follow the onscreen instructions

Happy Updating!
[XPERIA X10 General] Fuzalert2k:
Great News! I hope the devs know about this, so they can update the x10a baseband for the root. This would mean no more audio jack problems for some X10a..s that get root!

Nothing gets removed. Settings, contacts, email etc stay the same as prior to the update. There are two choices through SEUS. "Update" and "Factory Reset and Update". Choose Update and all remains set-up.

Thanks for that. I went from AR firmware to BR. Then switched back to Rogers for the update. Ill debrand again using AR then
[XPERIA X10 General] uabtodd:
Battery life is definitely better, though I wish I was getting the kind of life others seem to get. before the update, I would take phone off charger at about 6am and by lunch time would be at 20%, have to charge it up at work just to make sure it would make it home before dieing. Today, after update, I took it off charger at 6am and i just now plugged it up to charge at 5% (9:30 pm). At least now it makes it through the day without a midday recharge.
[XPERIA X10 General] kigol:
I'm pissed, I did the update, everything went fine. Everything was normal. However, the software was telling me that there was another update available, right after I updated. So I let it run again. Turns out that second update, whatever it was, did a hard reset to my phone and I lost everything... Software now tells me my phone is up to date, thanks a**hole!

I'm gonna call Rogers telling them i'm pissed and I'll have to use half of my monthly's allowed date to reinstall everything because of their update.. I only have 150mb on my data plan, no wifi at home (wifi modem/router died 2 weeks ago) I'll see if they do something for me...

[XPERIA X10 General] killerskincanoe:
maybe someone here can help answer my question.

recently purchased an x10a via a canadian seller from ebay. he's providing me with an unlock code.

my question is: should i unlock first or update then unlock.

my concern: if i unlock will i still be able to get the update? Can i update with no sim card in?
[XPERIA X10 General] Cnrl:
Seriously......before the update they tell you to backup everything, you have a 16 gig sd card, you could have backup all your sms and apps on it ,for the contact and calendar you got the choice to use SE sync or gmail and the rest picture ect is already save on the sd.....Take a deep breath SE or Rogers did nothing wrong you are the only one to blame.
[XPERIA X10 General] visitador02:
Sounds like you haven't got the phone yet. First, all Android phones need a sim card to be activated. It needs to use the data of the network, not the wifi. There are ways around it, but that is generally true.

So, you need to unlock the phone first in order to even get the phone to update. Unlocking the phone has nothing to do with getting an update or not. It only means you can use it with other cellphone providers.

For anyone who is reading: Using wifi only without the sim card will trigger Google to stop showing paid apps in the market app. If that happens, you need to master reset and start from the beginning again.
[XPERIA X10 General] killerskincanoe:
excellent tips. and thanks for your reply. i guess i didn't realize that the phone needed any data to do the update if i was going to be using the SE update tool via my laptop. new to android, and your right phone isn't here yet, just trying to cover the bases before it does. good to know that unlocking it doesn't affect the update process. i guess i must have been thinking about the issues people were having after debranding, my mistake. thanks again.
[XPERIA X10 General] visitador02:
No problem. Yes, you can use SEUS but only after the initial registration process with the sim card and using some network data. I don't know what is going on but I guess there is a verification process between the phone and Google. I see that you have AT&T and a Xperia X1a. So, I am sure you already have a data plan.
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
Anyone here using PdaNet with R2BA020?

I ask because I'm having serious battery drain issues when I do; something that wasn't a problem under the old stock Rogers ROM.
[XPERIA X10 General] rvictorg:
Link contact: No facebook anymore?

Anyone notice that you can't link contacts to their facebook accounts after updating? I only get the twitter option now. This is when I go through the Dialer app, then click a contact, then edit, then link contact.

Furthermore, all the people I'm following on twitter are not on the list when I try to link them to their respective contact entry on my device.

EDIT: Found solution...in Dialer app on contacts tab hit menu then refresh. This should update your Twitter and Facebook accounts. Also, Facebook wasn't appearing as an option because for some unknown reason my account under Online Service Accounts had been disassociated after updating, so check there that both your Twitter and Facebook accounts are signed etc properly from within the Dialer app and everything should work again fine.

Using rooted stock rom, how can i disable those sounds?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuddhaTeh1337:
i'm running the ''stable'' version of cm 5.0.8, amon recovery, blah blah blah. i was browsing the internet today when all of a sudden my phone starts saying that android process acore was force closing. this happened about 5 times before i decided to reboot the phone. when i went to reboot, i got stuck on the g1 screen......greeeaaaaaaat. so i go into recovery, find my nandroid backup and press home to restore it. currently my phone screen consists of an HTC logo and a never-ending stream of periods. usually it only takes about 4 or 5 lines for my phone to restore a nadroid backup. what should i do?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
Besides wipe/reinstall?

You can try the more advance manual install (simple if you are used to a Linux commandline).. copy the nandroid backup to your computer and run:

fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash userdata data.img

(Data.img is part of the nandroid backup)

Now rebuild system:

Return to recovery: wipe dalvik cache and flash cm5.0.8 + gapps

If you have nandroid+ext you can restore that by erasing the ext partition and using tar to extract the backup before booting cm.

Also make sure you are running the latest ra-recovery the older ones have an issue with the missing /system/sd directory unless you manually created it..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuddhaTeh1337:
first off, thanks sooo much for the speedy reply. this forum and the members here are AWESOME. back to business, the nandroid backup never did finish, so i took a huge risk and pulled the battery, and rebooted. and voila it magically works now EXCEPT i booted to the registration screen saying "UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable.'' thats a helluva lot better than a brick i guess, just annoying as ****. so im guessing to wipe the data partititon i have to go into recovery and select ''wipe''?

update;oh, im also getting a force close error with gapps now. which im guessing means that i need to flash a new gapps package via recovery?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theartar:
I had the same issue. Apparently it's a dalvik-cache issue. Check this link for the solution:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theartar:
You could try reflashing Gapps
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuddhaTeh1337:
where could i find the latest gapps update? and that flashes the same way as themes and ROMs correct?

Update; ok well i just flashed CM again, did a factory reset/wipe and i am STILL looking for gapps to flash...

update 2; found it. just have to flash now.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theartar:
I know you already found it, but for future reference I always grab it off the Cyanogen site. Here's a direct link: http://kanged.net/mirror/download.php?file=gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed.zip

Flash CM, don't reboot, then Gapps, then reboot. Good luck.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuddhaTeh1337:
yup, thats the exact one i installed. all my apps are still there EXCEPT maps.....which wont install for some reason now......i just fixed UID mismatches via recovery and hoping that fixes it.

[Legend General] 3djon:
I'll be moving back stateside this August and I'd love to use my sim free Legend on a gsm provider back home.

T-mobile US 3G bands are (900/AWS/2100 MHz)

The Legend is specified for use at: HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz

Can anyone clarify if I'll be able to get 3G on a T-mobile US sim?

Or even knowing the bands are similar does the fact that T-mobile uses AWS and not HSPA/WCDMA mean I wont get 3g?

Any type of clarification would be helpful
[Legend General] stevendavidson:
Hey man, you might have figured this out already but, as far as I can tell, you can't use the T-mobile US 3G bands on the legend. I got my legend over the interwebs and put my t-mobile SIM in there, and although there's 2g data, no 3G. I don't really mind though, it's an awesome phone and it gets plenty of second glances since there's nothing like it here in the states. I'm also around wi-fi most of the time i need it, but it would be awesome to get that 3G working.

I've looked around a little but can't find anything. Does anyone know if this is even physically possible? And if so, how? Thanks.
