What carrier are you on? I know for certain Orange UK haven't released it due to them not adding their crapware branding yet.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luggworm:
I'm on T-mo, I know they released then pulled the 1.21 update and I missed it. Is there any other way of getting it other than de-branding?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedNas74:
Just use the ruu file at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695667 If you want the t-mobile version use RUU_Bravo_TMO_UK_1.21.110.4_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.0 6.00.02_2_release_127570_signed.exe
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregslater84:
The phone has a virgin logo on startup but it seems to be the stock ROM. The sim card is on t mobile. Does that mean I need the t mobile Rom I guess or the virgin one?

Were these any significant updates in the 1.21 release?

Many thanks.

Happy days!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedNas74:
Don't use the virgin one, or you wont be able to root your phone if you want. I would install RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe (like EddyOS suggested) instead.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregslater84:
Awesome. Thanks guys. Anyone know exactly what updates are in 1.21? Just wondering if it's worth waiting for 2.2 instead.

Also do I NEED to root it to install the RUU ROM?

Trying to figure out if I should root using the original method the install updated rom or do ota then root with new method. Is there a benefit either way?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostinroot:):
Dont Update

Never do an OTA (OVER THE AIR) UPDATE....IF YOU WANT ROOT IN THE FUTURE

What you need to do is root then flash a rom that is built off of the newest update.

yeah sorry was just thinking it was relevant not a forum expert though will move or delete thanks for the reply
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ausch30:
As the others said, this should be in Q&A. To go into more depth though on why you want to root then update, all of the more recent root efforts are based around flashing an earlier version of the stock rom to allow rooting. If you were to update and then root you would be going forward then backward in order to go forward again (ie. update, downgrade, root, update). Doesn't make much sense.

+1 Root then unlock nand then flash custom, no need to update, most customs are based off of newest update, as previously stated of course

I have been reading all the steps needed to root one. But I am confused on the 91 build. Seen MoDaCo Custom ROM for Nexus One with Online Kitchen - Froyo FRF91. This has the superboot with the rom so another is not needed?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikclaw:

My reading of MoDaCo is that those of us with a stock FRF91 OTA who do not want to UNLOCK OR do not want to flash back to earlier versions are still waiting for Paul to cook a ROOT version of FRF91.

To the OP, the vanilla clock shows up in your app tray. Access it through there. To the second poster, I think you can flash it back the same way you flashed on the vanilla.

The higher CPU speed may be the culprit, this happened to me before. I changed my CPU speed back to normal while charging and it doesn't get hot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] luminiz:
I tried underclock my CPU speeds down to about 245 mhz and the temps still appear to be quite high at about 98-99 Fahrenheit? Ive also got my brightness down to the lowest setting and always Taskkiller Apps beforehand. Anyone know why the temps are still up there?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] TheForgotten:
Mine gets brutally hot (45 degrees celcius) which is about the same when im charging over usb on my ps3, are you using it when its charging? also maybe your usb port isnt giving a constantly equal charge.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Vonrottes:
Odd mine is set to 358/245 for charging and of I'm not using it my temps don't go over the ambient air temp.

If I am using it my fail safe kicks in and never gets over 41c..

Magic man, posting from my Magic
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] luminiz:
Hmmm...its seems like the usb port is fine

im not sure...i think its the phone's battery maybe? Becuz sometimes even when not charged...the temps are still pretty high....

Lets say ive been playing a game on an app for about 30minutes on medium brightness...I could actually feel the phone warming up

Another scenario I think could be the cause is actually my ROM maybe? Cannon's Complete Eclair has my cpu overclocked at 576mhz which isnt a whole lot any means.... but maybe it has to with the kernels and system related modifications?

Idk...im just trying to throw things out there

Anyways thanks in advance

when you take pictuers on the HTC DESIRE

lets say when you take a picture holding the device on landscap - does it save the picture as landscap? i mean that does you have to do ROTATE to photos to save them on the computer?

is there any site i can see all the androind app now? so i can know what ill have and what i can't have..

or i have to check the market app only from a androind device?

thats it for now. still having problems deciding what phone to take - Desire or iPhone 4... :(

the bad thing that the desire have no front camera for future things like making video calls on fring or mesnnger...

p.s. sorry for my bad English.. hop you can help me! thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohyeahar:
Yes, if you take the picture in landscape, the picture will be saved in landscape. Same for portrait. In addition, you can edit the orientation of the photo in the photo viewer.

There is an official Android Market site. But it's not very helpful. You can't push applications to your device and the selections are not complete. Appbrain is a better alternative.

Btw, you should know that video calling is not a "future thing". That's what Apple wants you to believe. The front facing camera was so underutilized that manufacturers have since decided to abandon it. Once Apple adopted it, it's suppose to be the next big thing....sigh...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flaggie:
For finding all the available apps you can try http://www.androlib.com , but it might be a bit hard to find the things you want.

And regarding the videocalling, you can actually videocall with fring on your desire, but it obviously will use the rear facing camera. So it kind of depends on what you want to do, is it really i want to see someone when i call them or i want to show them what i am seeing at this moment.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amir84:
well is there any HTC phone that is android with fron cam also? somthing like the desire.... ??

i think ill be using the fron camera a lot when i be abrod and want to make calls over fring with WIFI connection...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aitese:
Quick question for you Amir...do you video call now? You say future things like you're expecting it to be the next big thing. It's been available for years. Why have you never thought to do it before but now seemingly would let it colour your purchasing decisions?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amir84:
i had N95 for lots of time.. and i did use video call but by then it wans't possiple to use it over WIFI and with fring..

so i allways want that like this.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aitese:
I had an N95 also and was able to use Fring to make Skype video calls a long time ago.

My question was basically , knowing that video calling is a requirement, why don't you stick with Nokia, who rarely leave out the front cam? Symbian is improving at a rapid pace to try and keep up.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
There isnt no, the reason htc have left out the front camera is that its not supported by the os :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amir84:
so how is the galaxy S have a front cam and runing the same OS ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aitese:
That's not 100% correct. The camera hardware is supported just fine...the protocol that is used to make 3G video calls is what I think is missing (someone correct me if I'm wrong) and so negated the inclusion of a front cam.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atomfix:
I had a E71 but never used video calling once. I had it for 3 years also.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aitese:
http://www.3g.co.uk/PR/December2004/8825.htm

It's old tech but the carriers here in Europe REALLY thought it would take off. Obviously, Apple being Apple, people will start video calling like they've never done before.

Mp3 players were available before the iPod, but no one wanted them...until Apple did it. Mobile phones could install apps and surf the web before the iPhone...no one wanted to, until Apple did it. People have had cameras on their phones for years...but the dawn of the iPhone has seen it remain the most used camera of ANY kind in the world on Flickr since it was released. Tablet PC's wallowed in the wilderness of computing for 10 years before the iPad...now it's the hottest selling device this year.

Apple people tend to start doing things they had no inclination to do before Apple told them it was awesome to do said activity. Expect the same to happen to video calling.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atomfix:
To be honest right..... video calling is the thing of the ancient past. I'm sure the Pharaoh's used video calling in there time. But HD voice calling should be the future :)

You should use the Rom manager app its the easiest way
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
So will dashes and dots.

Heres what I do, and no problems yet (knocks on wood).

The top-level folders are named

BDS-YYYYMMDD-HHMM or

BDES-YYYYMMDD-HHMM

where a folder beginning with BDES is a NAND+ext backup.

So, I just stick something meaningful in between the BDS-/BDES- and the -timestamp string, e.g.: (actual backups)

BDS-ota21-postFR-20100607-2219

BDS-OTA21-Configured-20100708-0654

BDS-Sense_able_3.1_20100607-0010

BDES-+ext-AloysiusV12-20100620-0603

BDS-xtrROM3.0.1-20100704-0650

BDS-OTA21-Configured-20100704-0427

BDS-EvilEris_3.0-20100629-0300

BDES-CyanogenLB_2.5-20100619-2238

You do need to keep the strings in the middle a reasonable length - if you have multiple copies of the same ROM at different times, you don't want the timestamp string to roll off the screen to the right side when using Amon_RA. That could lead to unintended consequences.

Awesome, now I won't mix up my roms ever again.
[HTC Aria General] lonestarmotorcyclist:
Hello-

I was hoping any and all users can giver their 2 cents here. What are the real world limitations of this device? I have done a fair amount of research and this phone seems to fit the bill, but wanted some feedback on it. I know I want an Android based smartphone, and I must stick with AT&T as it's what my company has and it's the ONLY provider in my rural part of Texas.

While the phone has been labeled "mid-spec" it still seems pretty impressive. I also know being tied to AT&T means I'm REALLY limited, and I do not want an iPhone. My wife has one, I've tried it... It completly DIED after 3 months. I know in other posts people have said iPhone still best bang for the buck for AT&T smartphone, but a smartphone that does not work as a phone, doesn't show the net as it really appears, and has updates that seemingly copy Android does not seem too "smart" to me. Yes, iTunes looks pretty, and I could play "Words w/ Friends," but seems like a lot of fluff.

I have found due to hardware Aria cannot run Google Earth, is there anything else it cannot do? I know there is debate about Gingerbread being compatible, but that seems a ways down the road. I'm really torn, as I like the size of this thing: it still looks like a phone and not a flat panel TV, but the car guy side of me thinks "no replacement for displacement" when it comes to a processor.

That would mean getting a Nexus One, but I worry about the trackball popping out like my sister-in-laws Blackberry, and the cost is hard to swallow. The Desire looks AWESOME but if I have read correctly it will not work on 3G for data, only voice, and it is expensive. Then there is the Samsung Captivate which is coming, but it seems HUGE, or does the camera add 10 lbs???. I'd like to limit the physical size to an iphone-esque size at most so it is pocketable. I also have read Samsung can be difficult to work with from a consumer standpoint with respect to updates, etc.

I also like the Sense UI as it seems elegantly simple and worked well while I messed with the phone in the store.

Overall, I want the most bang for the buck phone. A true "dream machine" would be an Aria sized phone, with the Desire specs, that does it all on 3G. What really would be the closest thing to such a device? I'm open to any ideas and suggestions, but again I CANNOT change providers; seriously, AT&T is the ONLY provider with coverage in my area.

Thanks in advance for any and all answers and help!!!

The phone does have some limitations (you have done your homework). If you want a great phone on att, this is a good choice. The galaxy s (coming soon to ATT) may be better if you must have a high end device.
