[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc-hd2:
Today all of a sudden I got this (see image) on my HD2.

The "mar" looks the same when the phone is on or off..

Anyone here who might know what could have caused this, and how to fix it?

Please note that the HD2 was inside a plastic box (in the car), and that the screen itself does not show any crack's, scratches, dents and/or holes.

Have you replaced the glass on your screen? I've did and I got exactly the same patch that appeared over time.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc-hd2:
No.. This is an untouched HD2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
its the layers of the screen/digitizer/glass sticking together. SOme people have reported success by using a suction cup to gently pull on the glass.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc-hd2:
Thank you for the info. I'm going to give the suction cup a go.

I still have no clue what caused this..
[Nexus One General] anhkind:
Hi guys. I got a problem with my SD card after I recorded a video on my Nexus One (rom from Paul for very first Froyo over my rooted Nexus). I tried to to mount the SD card to my computer, but after clicking on the mounting button, the card appeared to have something wrong and displayed the warning message "SD Card blank or has unsupported filesystem". I could not access to the data on the card. I cared about my data so I tried to get the card out and used a card reader to read the content of the card from my Windows machine, but it seemed that Windows could not recognized the card. I thought the card was spoiled. I tried to save the card anyhow by trying to format it since I had the backup data on my computer already. Because I could not see the card on my Windows, I could not format it. I tried to format it on my N1, but after clicking on the format button, nothing happened. It seemed that my SD card was really spoiled.

But actually, I found a way that could help to save the SD card for my case. My solution is to try to partition the SD card using the ultility from my Recover section (I am using RA for nexus 1.7.0). The card after partitioning seems to work ok again. So I think the problem for my case is that the recording application already overwrote some data to the partition table on the card and that made my card inaccessible. Partioning the card again will help in this case but about the existing data on the card, I am not quite sure if it is still there. For my case, it's all gone.

Just a little experience to share ... :)

hi

i have got the exact same problem... samsung galaxy s with a 32gb micro sd... says unsupported file system and does not format it... windows cant see it in the memory card reader... could u please help me out...

thanks man !!
[Nexus One General] anhkind:
You can try to partition your card on an Android phone with RA 1.7.0 (or newer) installed. You can have a look at following page which is about RA for nexus v1.9.0 alpha:

Good luck.
[Nexus One General] psychopython:
thanks man !

will give it a try... i first have to figure out how to get my phone into recovery mode. the three button method does not work for me.
[Nexus One General] flybyme:
whoa whoa if you have a galaxy s, do NOT flash the one he linked to. that is for the nexus one only. if you need to partition in windows, try plugging in the card to a reader and opening disk management (type "disk management" w/o quotes after pressing the windows key)

right click the card and hit format
[Nexus One General] rob61280:
Check your data before formatting it may not be corrupt

I had the same problem, rather than format the card straight away, I mounted it in ra recovery so that it was accessible over usb, then copied off all my data before formatting the card.

[Streak 5 General] hexydes:
...buy why?

I've been following the Streak for as long as its been rumored, and I haven't seen this brought up.

Why do you guys think that Dell decided to go to the UK first, and so much earlier, than in the US? Seems weird for a US-based tech company to release what looks to be a very high-profile device outside of the US, so much earlier, and not even in a comparably-sized market (if they released in "Europe" first that might make SOME sense...but in the UK only?)

The ONLY thing I could come up with is that they are using the UK as a test market, either for the hardware itself, or for their incarnation of Android. Perhaps an update to 2.1 on the US launch? Though that is rumored to be coming in January 2011, not on launch date.

Any other theories/facts out there?
[Streak 5 General] grizlore:
I have a Streak and it is very good! I don't know why they released in the UK first, but I am pleased it did.

When it gets to the US it'll only increase the follwoing and developments will rocket. So I for one am looking forward to it too.

I am sure our cousins from across the pond are gonna love it
[Streak 5 General] ap3604:
Only if they come out with a T-mobile 3g version :(

2 GB per month isnt enough and Att sucks!
[Streak 5 General] SquidgyB:
2Gb per month? On O2 (and Vodafone - dunno about the rest) we get 500mb a month for the £5 a month data plan. Then another £5 per 500mb thereafter.

:(
[Streak 5 General] jeeper251:
I'm looking to go from my G1 to the Streak but only on T-Mobile. If I'm switching carriers it sure WON'T be to AT&T!
[Streak 5 General] Muo:
I personally think that Dell is just way behind with their mobile phone department, being completely new to the game. 02 was probably the first real and successful partner that decided to pair up with Dell. Considering they are so hush-hush about the US release it makes me think the only reason for such a delayed launch is a delay in partnership. Or it could be because whoever their US partnership is has to wait until a previous contract is up. Or it could possibly be that nobody in the US wanted to partner with Dell so they decided to release it in the UK, to see potential interest/outcome around the world. Rumor has been going around that the US maybe released with 2.2, which wouldn't matter. Software is always upgradeable, hardware (which I think will be the exact same as the UK models and beta models) is not.

As for the Beta Streak's (from Texas), what an absolute joke. Dell has done a terrible terrible job at keeping their US customer's happy or in the 'know' thus far. And then once they decide to give it some publicity, it is to such a wide ranged age group that is mostly physically active. Now I am not saying most competent high-end phone owners are not active, I am just saying that most do not run races. (I would for a free Streak!)

Considering they have a page on their store for the coming-soon 'Aero', why not do the same for the Streak?

And if it is due to none of the above, then maybe the US is in for a big surprise with their model. But I highly doubt that. Everyone else currently with a Streak would be extremely upset (I know I would).

dell streak i have had for 2week now its the most awesome device i have ever had the chance to get my mutty paws on and i have had alot of devices with froyo 2.2 this will be unstopable and did you know there is a micro sd card x 2 in this device yes the other one is hdden inside to instal apps on 2gb and can be chnged to a 32gb if pleased plusa another 32gb external how about that then.
[Streak 5 General] lesday:
I think you should change your plan my friend, I get 3gb per month and unlimited wifi at the cloud with o2 for £15 per month although this is the data only plan.
[Streak 5 General] hexydes:
That statement is damning. Six months ago (late 2009/early 2010), the hardware in the "Dell Mini 5" (Streak) was cutting-edge, top-of-the-line. If they'd released then, they'd have had the fastest smartphone in the world. Now, we have the EVO, Nexus One, Incredible, DroidX, Captivate (in a week), iPhone 4, etc. The Dell Streak will be nothing more than your average high-end smartphone in a controversial form-factor, with an antiquated operating system.

I dunno, we'll see what I do. I was all-in for the Streak, because I really want the form-factor (larger screen, HDMI-out on the side for docking) and for Dell selling it unlocked (I don't want to buy through a carrier, or even have a contract, other than a month-to-month with T-Mobile or something), but the Streak is already looking pretty long in the tooth, and it hasn't even been released yet.

I think Dell really messed up on this one.

I think the worst of all is that you have this VERY passionate base of hardcore tech enthusiasts who really want this phone in the US, then Dell turns around, releases this phone in the UK, and is absolute silent about the plan for the US.

If they had any brains (which I really question at this point), they'd go to GDGT.com or something like that, find every person who has the Streak listed as a device they want, and ship them out. As of this moment, that is only 208 people. At $500 retail (though probably more like $300 at-cost), that's only about $100,000. I think Dell can afford that, and the good-will that it would build, from these extremely passionate users who will then go out and convince all of their friends, families, and others to buy this device, would more than recoup the cost.

Oh well. Over at StreakSmart, a LOT of people are looking at getting the Captivate now (or something else), and I have to say, while I was locked in for the Dell Streak, I'm going to be keeping my options open now. Every week that passes by, that 1GHz Snapdragon hardware set is getting older, more cool phones come out, and they have better versions of Android. It's going to be hard to seriously say "Dude...I'm gettin' a Dell!" too much longer...
[Streak 5 General] SquidgyB:
Aye, I need the talk plan as much as I do the data. In any case, I took the Streak back - very little media codec support, shoddy audio quality, and lackluster graphics power eventually won over the 5in screen... I'm off to get a Galaxy S from either T-Mobile (coverage dependent) or Three, if Three get their fingers out of their ar$es and make the Galaxy S available.
[Streak 5 General] meatrocket:
Crap, you better move over to the Captivate forum ASAP! For some reason, making any decision to go against the Streak here will get you flamed big time! I haven't seen that type of behavior on this board before so I was left scratching my head when I made the same decision.
[Streak 5 General] SquidgyB:
As long as you take a balanced look at it the I don't think it should be flame worthy, but I know what you mean.

Apologies for the thread hijack as well - but it's not like there's a specific question being asked here.

Anyhow, I did really like the Streak for what it was, it's just that it didn't live up to the expectations of what I needed from it. FLAC support and decent audio quality is very important to me; the click and low level hiss in the background when the Streak played any audio was something I just couldn't live with.

I'll miss 5in of screen space, it must be said. Browsing on the Streak was a great experience, but seeing Quake 3 and the newer games coming out on the Galaxy, as well as integrated HW decoding of the major codecs (decoding 1080p on the fly? crikey!) are just another nail in the coffin.

Oh, and £54 for a dock so I can have HDMI out, and £25 for a USB charging cable? That's just rude.
[Streak 5 General] meatrocket:
Unfortunately those are things we haven't been able to compare here in the US. We have to rely on reviews until we can get them in hand. I'm sure that if I get both units in hand and the Dell strikes me as more usable, I'll buy it. I'm definitely going to be more critical of the Streak now that the Captivate will be out at the same time.
[Streak 5 General] ap3604:
For better or worse people are emotionally invested in their purchases so they take it personally when you say "F#ck Dell and their stupid Streak" like you did in the other thread, hence the flaming.

(:(I whish I ordered mine through them 1st) . .I received word that it was $189.99 which was great without the rebate . .# 2 and I'm sorry if you missed this but check any way I ordered this through BING (microsoft's search engine site), for they give you $50 back after the ordered has arrived (that is right the EVO came out to $139.99) . . but to get to your point in the box are detailed instructions to deal with WireFly directly (this only failed for me for my wife wanted a # change and I called sprint after words with no real issues except getting them on the line) :)

[Desire General] rowanparker:
Hello all,

I'm aware there are a few threads of people complaining about GPS not working when updating/unbranding an Orange branded handset (more specifically the radio). The solution seems to be downgrade the radio (which is more of a workaround than a solution). I've been wanting to try out one of the recent Froyo with Sense ROMs, this includes 720p video recording (and something else). The radio must be updated for this to work. I've tried the new radio and it breaks my GPS (left it outside for 10 minutes, it used to fix within seconds). Has anyone had any success in getting the GPS to work without downgrading the radio?

Thank you, Rowan.
[Desire General] rowanparker:
Okay, been nearly a month and quite a few views but no replies. Even with the latest radio GPS still never fixes. Has anyone else had any experience on this?
[Desire General] steve228uk:
I'd say the easiest fix would be to shove re-flash Froyo on there and if necessary unlock your phone with a code. Failing that, root and install an older radio via recovery. I haven't seen this issue anywhere else.
[Desire General] rowanparker:
I've already unlocked it. As I said in my first post I want a newer radio to try out 720p recording and such so downgrading the radio isn't really a fix. I can only think it's Orange's meddling as GPS works fine with one radio and not with another so it's not like a fault with the actual phone :/
[Desire General] steve228uk:
What radio version are you using?

I'm running a de-branded Orange phone on the OTA official Froyo ROM and it's all working fine. The baseband is:

32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20
[Desire General] rowanparker:
I did just try that one you mentioned and it didn't work. I used to use 32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11 as my radio that GPS worked with (I tested all newer ones and no GPS). Now that doesn't work either so I'm a bit miffed.

Edit: Okay that does work actually, I'm guna play around a bit. I'll get back to you.

Edit 2: Okay, I've played. It seems it's actually a problem with Google Maps as the Compass app works fine.

There are also some apps (the names escape me ATM) that allow for more complex hard key mappings. You should be able to search and/or someone else can chime in with some names.

hi, first of all, EXCELLENT WORK on both CHT and CHTeditor. Nevertheless a few change requests :)

1. does anyone know how to move the retractable slider icon to a corner (similar to Opera). it simply looks silly sitting in the middle of the screen :)

2. setting a background image using the photo album, does not resize the photo. it seems to take the first 480x800 pixels :(. Is there a patch/solution?

3. where can I change BG image for the windows lockscreen, ie the image shown as BG in the start menu) (I know it can be done through Manila Settings, but why not from within CHT/editor.

4. winmobile does not seem to be able to handle subfolders when selecting a background. e.g., \wallpapers\portrait, \wallpapers\landscape and \wallpapers\widelandscape exist. If I point CHT to \wallpapers I'd love to see these subfolders.

5. I'd love to have 6 rows of quicklinks (there's more than enough room). CHTeditor does not allow it, probably direct regedit will allow it, but has anyone tried this?

6. similar to selecting quicklinks in 4 or 5 row, can the start menu look be changed from CHTeditor to look the same (not NOT hexagonal, but square).

7. even though CHTeditor is configured NOT to lock the screen when pressing close button (option 2), CHT screen lock activates every time. why?

TIA for your time.

[Nexus One Android Development] innisdb:
I was thinking that a possibility we have battery life and reception issues is because our phone does not know how/when to properly boost signal strength. I think it boosts it to soon because you can go from 1 bar 3g to full edge almost instantaneously, which to me looks like the phone feels the signal is getting low and boosts it to high instead of giving it a little more time to adjust or boosting signal a little more, not alot more. Also this has me thinking that our phone does this constantly while sleeping too causing battery life to decrease significantly. So quesion is, can we control the signal boost on the phone?
