[Streak 5 Accessories] AviUA:
Right, the chargers do in fact need those pins shorted.

{Just as an aside, I understand there are several different chips used in different products to generate and regulate the charging voltage in these USB chargers, and not all are created equal; some may get too hot if you try to make them do more than they were intended to do, i.e. source more power than they were built to handle ... also some chargers may have better heat dissipation than others, and those tiny cases some are housed in might be convenient, but they don't help keep things cool, nor do overly thin leads trying to handle 2 amperes at 5 volts}

I don't want to belabor the point, but maybe I was unclear:

shorting those two pins at the charger output is a necessary, but apparently not sufficient requirement for fast charging with the Streak. Using the same charger (OEM), I got two very different charging rates using two different cables, one OEM and one after-market, and the observable difference between the two was the lack of pins in the aftermarket cable at those locations that the PDMI standard indicates are used for high capacity charging. I infer from this that the Streak (correctly, according to that standard) expects to see charging voltage on those missing pins, and without it, can't utilize the full charging capacity of even a correctly wired charger.

So folks who are experiencing problems might want to have a closer look at the cables they are using. YMMV

Hi @ all

I know it wont be a 100% reliable news but I thought it would interest some of you.

A friend of mine ordered a HTC Desire at Sunrise (Swiss Operator). She was told that the delivery will be postponed to the beginning of August due to the fact that the device will be delivered with version 2.2 of Android aka Froyo.

That would mean that we could possibly get the official Froyo by the end of July for unbranded devices.

Hope the staff at Sunrise is reliable and the info is right!!!

We will know more in about one month.

Sorry if the news has already been posted before.

Sinerely,

Ascenca
[Desire General] jastonas:
Interesting :)
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
Well, HTC Customer Service reps got the date wrong for this. So I doubt that a network service provider rep has that much information.

I have a feeling your friend couldn't get a Desire because of the same problem that the Droid Incredible is facing. HTC has a shortage of AMOLED screens.

See here. http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/veri...le-shortage-due-to-amoled-production-shortage

Also, see here for a (probably) more realistic time table direct from HTC PR guy. http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-says-expect-froyo-version-sense-ui-christmas
[Desire General] Ascenca83:
Thanks für your reply.

I am aware of the shortage of AMOLED displays and the recent PR statement of HTC. I dont pretend my info is right, only wanted to share what I heard. Nevertheless I think August could be possible. The PR guy said that all newer devices (Desire, Legend, etc.) will get Froyo by Christmas. The HTC Desire being their top end device at the moment in Europe I assume it will get the update first. And I am quite sure that they wont provide the update to all devices at the same time. So lets hope for it to be true ;).

Ascenca
[Desire General] foxmeister:
There's no timetable there at all - it just says that they'll be finished with Froyo updates before Xmas. Well, August is before Xmas, as is September, October, November and most of December! ;)

What we do know is that HTC have gone on record to say that they are expecting the first updates to roll out in Q3, but we don't know which devices will get it first.

Regards,

Dave

Lets hope it's true and the Desire gets 2.2 in August before the other phones, but i must admit that 2.1 is great and i have no issues with it so am happy to wait whenever it comes out.
[Desire General] SperVaxjo:
It takes time to port all of our applications over to Froyo and then make sure that it is running well on each of our devices. That’s not like a one week kind of project. We need to make sure that our applications are taking advantage of the Froyo features. To make sure that they’re all running properly on the OS now that it’s a new version. And then to make sure that it’s running on our hardware as well as we expect. I would believe that we would be done with our Froyo updates before Christmas.

[Desire General] EroThraX:
It seems alot of the replies in this thread don't take into account the fact that a HTC 2.2 test rom with sense has already been leaked to certain people and was mostly working. So HTC are pretty far along in development already.
[Desire General] SperVaxjo:
Yes i know about that rom. Thats why i think its strange that HTC PR guy talks about crhistmas?
[Desire General] Ascenca83:
I think this is cos they want to prevent what happened with the 2.1 Update for the HTC Hero (more than a half year between announcement and shipment, at least in europe).

Better to make promises they can hold. So the Christmas announcement makes completly sense to me.

Ascenca
[Desire General] SperVaxjo:
Yes thats probably the reason. But it might make people not buying the Desire also and go for another brand like Samsung Galaxy S or even the Iphone 4 =P

Oh well, Im glad we have the Devs who get froyo roms out =)
[Desire General] jastonas:
Roms that dont work :P

Not trying to offend anyone.. I m pretty new to the HTC Desire (3 days) but VERY happy :) I forgot I ever had a 3GS.

But as far as roms are concerned, I see it is not worth using them since simple stuff such as video recording do not work.

[Desire General] EroThraX:
The only thing they have said is that they will be done BEFORE Christmas, that could be any time not precisely Christmas, it just gives them a window to allow for things to go wrong.
[Desire General] Ascenca83:
Another hint the update is not far of (statement from Eric Lin, global PR and online community Manager of HTC):

"I don't think you're going to see that really long six month, seven month lag, like you saw in the updates from 1.5 to 2.1, simply because it's a less severe change. Switching from 2.1 to 2.2, they made a lot of tweaks, but they didn't make any gigantic changes, so it should be a much swifter process".

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fearedbliss:
Hello everyone,

I've been thinking about getting the nexus one for a while now but haven't primarily because of the reported multi-touch and 3G issues. Now I know open source software with a community is extremely powerful and I've read some mods on the android dev section of the nexus one forum on XDA and it seems solid.

The reason I am now thinking of switching is because my ATT contract with my iPhone 4 is way to expensive. I'm a long time iPhone user but I don't believe in getting ripped off.

I had the EVO 4G before and I learned the basics of rooting android devices (this was when the EVO still had NAND protection). I also have about 4 years of in and off *nix experience (Primarily Arch and Ubuntu).

Can anyone tell me if the N1 still has these problems and any more? I want to be as informed as possible before making a logical decision. Also the reason I would only get the N1 as my Android device is because I love how things work when they are Stock.. I hate Sense, and any other modifications from manufacturers.

Thanks !
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flybyme:
ive personally not had any problems that have been described, but there is a vocal minority that claims they are existent. As for the screen switching, the nexus one does have a lower quality sensor (its actually dual touch not multitouch) and it sometimes switches planes when two fingers come close together. I have never had a situation where this has been detrimental to my usage and i have not found it a good reason to discount the nexus one.

i hope that helps

I am buying a used HTC Magic from rogers (black) tomorrow in Vancouver and I want to root it and install custom roms. It is NOT a magic+.

Is this phone OK to root and install the cyanogen roms on? I'm read about it and i'm quite certain it's OK, but I wanted to make sure before buying.

I will check to confirm that it is a rogers 32A magic, and not an overseas 32B model by doing the following.

(Power off your phone (long press the [Power Button/End Call] button on your phone and select 'Power Off' on the menu).

Hold down the [Back] button and press the [Power/End] button to restart your phone. If that doesn't work, try holding down the [Call] button and press the [Power/End] button). And check the info to see which model it is.

Is there anything else I need to check to make sure it's OK, does this sound like it will be a compatible model that I can root and install custom roms on?

Thanks!

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] wjsturgis3:
That is exactly what I bought late last year. Rooting was a breeze because of the SPL that came with my phone 1.33.0010. If you have the perfected SPL 1.76.009 it is a bit more complex but doable. The best advice I can give you is to research the threads in this forum until you feel comfortable, don't get impatient, it causes bricks.

There are a lot of great ROMs out there, I've tried a lot of them and have a home for now, see my signature.

Good luck.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] thesmoth:
Im at this part of making the gold card and it wont work. I type adb shell and then a $ sign appears.

I then type in cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid and nothing happens.

Any help? It says to make sure I have fastboot install, yet there is NOTHING anywhere about how to install fastboot, it just goes through installing drivers so you can communicate with the phone for windows 7 (I did that).

4. *Make sure you have installed the SDK and Fastboot correctly from Section I!!!

Plug the phone into the computer and then open the Command Prompt (goto the start menu and type in cmd in the search box). Then type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line.

cd\

cd\AndroidSDK\tools\

adb devices

(wait for it to show a serial number underneath, if it doesnâ€™t then reinstall theÂ drivers from section I).

Then type:

adb shell

cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid (There is no spaces in this line EXCEPT right after the word cat in the beginning, make sure to put that space in)

So I got that part working, i've got my goldcard made, and I just installed that signed hero update with the RUU installer thing from this site.

It took several minutes to boot up after installing and I was worried it was bricked.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] thesmoth:
Ok new problem.

i'm at this part.

6. Open command prompt and go to the Tools folder in Android SDK that you downloaded to create the gold card.

Assuming that you have not changed the file name of the recovery, use the following commands:

cd C:\AndroidSDk\tools

adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard/

adb shell

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img (file name of the recovery you downloaded)

But the recovery on the website is called recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H.img, and I tried following the same procedure using that name instead and it doesn't work. Command prompt says error opening, no such file exists. I checked and it is infact in the correct folder.

Any ideaS?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] canada2005:
double check to make sure the file is placed in the directory you have opened, so the recovery-RA-sapphire.img should be placed in c:/androidsdk/tools

Greetings guys,

I thought i should ask before i start running the steps .

Currently i am on .20 build and i want to update to .23

My phones is already rooted and running .20.

I will follow only the step 6 to give me firmware .23 or i have to run also again step 7 to give a root (my phone already rooted)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717949

Which is :

6) Download this:

http://filevo.com/yzmh8wlyrgtz.html

or from here: http://rapidshare.com/files/40435984..._F2v2.rar.html

Extract it.

DELETE step4 folder, step5 folder, step4.cmd and step5.cmd

Now we're going to put the phone into Debugging mode:

Turn your phone on if it's not already on.

Press the left button, go to Settings>Applications>Development and check on USB debugging, press OK in the popup. Plug the USB into the phone (in case you disconnected it). You should see an exclamation mark at the very top left of the screen of the phone.

Note: This next step can take a while!

Open step2.cmd, don't press anything!

On the phone, a list of buttons will come up eventually. Press the 6th option (something about update from SDcard). ONLY PRESS IT ONCE!

Leave your phone alone. Go to the washroom or eat a snack.

You'll see the progress on the phone screen, as it installs the package. Leave everything alone.

After completion, this will give you a Generic X10i R2BA023 firmware.

If you get problems, try this post: http://xdaforums.com/show...postcount=1122

7) The phone should be on, USB plugged in, and already in USB debugging mode.

Open step3.cmd, and 'Press any key to continue'

Let it finish what it's doing, it will say 'Press any key to continue' at the end after it's finished.

After completion, this will give you ROOT! And it also installs some programs for you.

Thanks all for the help and best regards

Fellow rooters and modders,

I have just done a serie of stupid things.

1) I have rooted my desire with the root sequence described from Modaco (risk free rooting. My phone was unlocked, so no need for the Goldcard.

2) Then, I installed clockword mod, and installed different custom roms (latest one was Defrost 1.8) from the rom manager.

3) As i was getting sick of the low on space notifications, I wanted to format my SD card through ROM manager, to support ap2sd . I highly suspect this was unnecessary. Anyway, after I launched this process, my device rebooted. I waited and waited. And finally got tired and interrupted the process by rebooting. I have not been able to start a single rom since.

I tried flashing, wiping and erasing everything I could (data, cache, dalvik, ST-ex, SD Card) and install new roms through clockword..

It still won't go past the green HTC screen, the screen stuck and lighting my face in despair...

What can I do to fix the boot sequence, and "start from scratch"'????

Any help would be appreciated, I am now down to make a Goldcard, even though I am convinced this won't help any....

Thanks in advance.

I think you need to pay closer attention to the guide, because this statement makes no sense in reference to the guide.

The guide is helping you install ADB drivers, you don't need to do anything in ADB while your phone is in recovery in that guide.

Could be wrong, but I'm still fairly certain that the guide will fix your issue, because I had the same problem.

It's as simple as you do not have the correct, or any ADB drivers, therefore your phone is not showing up as a device under ADB. Once you have the proper drivers installed, your device will show up.

His recovery mode shows an Evo with a little exclamation mark next to it, i'm guessing what i got is still recovery mode. But still if i plug my phone in my computer still says unknown device, so i can't install ADB drivers.
