We've all been seeing all the latest devices by other manufacturers,like Moto's Droid X and Samsung's Galaxy S,that can perform better than our HTC devices with similar specs,using the Snapdragon SoC like the Desire in my case,or Evo 4G etc.I caught myself doing what many people do here and was ashamed of it.I was criticizing my device very strictly and almost got myself thinking that it's not good,almost trying and wanting to find problems in it.Yes,it doesn't make my coffee well (:p ),but wtf?It's a phone,not a damn supercomputer!

Then I came to think of it a little more seriously...Samsung and Moto brought out those devices more than a year after HTC,so they had more time to make the hardware better and more powerful.Now that Qualcomm has dual-core Snapdragons,the others have single-core processors.They seem to be in the lead again.Can we count on that?Will they change what we define as high-end again?Or are they what some call the worst choice available?Should HTC cooperate with another SoC manufacturer like Texas Instruments?

And something off-topic...Will the new Snapdragon 2 be based on Arm's Cortex A9 or A8?

Thanks in advance guys!And sorry if I am becoming a nuisance with all these questions! :o
[General Topics] phatmanxxl:
Im just wondering when well see heatsinks and little fans for the processor on the back of our phones.
[General Topics] tolis626:
Yeah!Can you imagine carrying around a phone that has a water cooling system? :p

But no,newer phones are more power efficient,and less power consumption means less heat.No wonder my Desire doesn't get any hotter than my Hero! :)
[HD2 General] iroczinoz:
One thing that gets me with the HD2 is that I have installed IGO 8 navigator and when in use the phone will go into sleep mode. How can that be?

You have the navigator running and 1min later the screen goes black and you don't get prompts nor visual aid.

To me if something is running the phone should not go into sleep mode.

Any ideas?
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Try this:

[HD2 General] iroczinoz:
I will give that a shot, thanks for the link.

I would have preferred a fix that does not need any applications installed though.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
When I'm using Copilot, it does exactly what you need igo8 to do, so I'm guessing igo8 doesn't have the feature required.
[HD2 General] iroczinoz:
That is a bummer. I might look into copilot I guess then. Thanks for the heads up!
[HD2 General] dio62000:
Just don't let the phone go to sleep mode when on external power and plug it in when using iGo.
[HD2 General] iroczinoz:
I have always just used it running off battery. Following directions what IGO 8 tells me and if I don't touch the screen within a minute or so the screen goes black and IGO 8 stops talking to me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaptorRVL:
It seems the touchscreen of my Desire gets less responsive at random times. Anyone else who has this problem as well?

The touchscreen of the Desire is very sensitive in most cases. But it sometimes (randomly) becomes less responsive. I have to give more pressure for the screen to register the touch. This is especially annoying when typing an e-mail or text message.

But for example: when sliding between the screens at the homescreen (Sense), you have to barely touch the screen to slide. When my 'problem' appears, I can actually feel and slide on the screen but nothing happens. When applying more force it does work, but is not as comfortable...

When I reboot the problem seems to be gone for a while, but at some point it becomes less responsive again.

Obviously I have tried uninstalling apps and widgets and see what happens then. But the problem remains. Hard reset/factory reset appears to be working at first, but again after some time the screen becomes less responsive again. This can be after a few minutes or after a few hours. The only way to 'solve' this is to reboot the phone again.

So! Is there anyone who is experiencing the same problems? Because of the factory reset (and obviously not installing any apps after that reset) it seems to me this is some sort of hardware problem.

Any takes on the issue?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3:
I only get such a problem when my hands are sweaty or sticky and when the screen is smudgy. I'm a cleanliness freak though so I naturally keep my hands and the screen very clean avoiding this problem. Otherwise everything is pretty darn consistent on my side... except for one oddity.

I struggled with this phone for months and then gave up trying to type or even just use the touchscreen while it's laying flat on any surface. Most of the touches just never registered, honestly. Even when applying a lot of pressure. Until last week, quite unexpectedly, the touches started registering perfectly. Just as good as when holding it vertical. I was quite amazed and baffled at how something just changed automatically to improve it significantly. The only other observational change in sync was that some apps that kept changing the phones layout based on the way I'm holding it even when I had disabled this feature (like the Tapatalk XDA app) have started working correctly as set now. Just all of a sudden.

I haven't made any setting or config change. I did root a while back but unrooted very soon after by flashing the stock T-Mobile ROM and things were still as bad as the beginning. That's something like 2 months back.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaptorRVL:
Ok, weird!

Since I am able to reproduce this with and without installed software (hard reset, no sim, no sd, no nothing) I can only assume it's some sort of hardware problem.

So off to repair department it goes! Thought I'd post it here and perhaps someone would have a solution saying:"Oh! That's this or that". You never know :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Brainz:
What I found is sometimes it's unresponsive but it's *puts on black roll neck and jeans* the way that I'm holding it.

I think if you squeeze the phone too much it registers a touch on the side of the screen. Also so times when I'm using it one handed the ball of the bottom of my thumb touches the screen and this is registering, making the rest of the screen unresponsive.

I'd consider this to be the problem first (as annoying as it is). I used to have the 2nd problem on the iPhone, but not the first. It's a bit upsetting but I got over it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Are you using a screen protector at all?

Since you have the same problem after performing a hard reset, maybe you should consider taking it back to the vendor for a warranty repair or replacement as it could be a faulty digitizer.

Hello folks !

anyone found a good app or another way to show other folders in hotmail other than just inbox ? i have organized my emails a bit so it would be nice to get into the other folders as well :)

thanks guys :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3:
I don't understand what you mean exactly ?

You can already see Inbox, Outbox, Drafts, Trash and Sent folder mail by going to Menu>Folders and choosing which to display.

i know i flashed this rom and all i remember is that the icons for the apps in the drawer had a square border around them...this was not a flash-on nor a theme, just part of the rom.

i really like this rom and i've been flashing roms for days looking for this....thought i would just ask for help

:confused:

Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] andybones:
"i know i flashed this rom and all i remember is that the icons for the apps in the drawer had a square border around them."

lol no one is gunna be able to help you with that sloppy description no offense.

that sounds more like launcher pro or something like that as opposed to a specific rom.

its hard for other people to tell you what rom for YOU to use.

check out the threads READ what each rom has to offer and CHECK for YOURSELF the rom screen shots and stuff. the only way to accomplish something is by doing it.

hope you get what your looking for.
[Droid Eris Android Development] malpracti:
I'm not positive, but I think you might be talking about zenEXP. But it also has the box style icons on the home screen.
[Droid Eris Android Development] richiea19:
The boxes around the apps in the drawer are from espresso rosie. Espresso rosie is a form of sense that came on the HTC Mytouch.

I believe zenEXP is the ROM you are talking about.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hnsw:
Yup it was ZenEXP

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a sound dock available for HTC Desire or Micro USB? I want one like those for Iphone:

[Desire Accessories] lukzke:
this is not possible through usb, because the usb prt of the desire doesn't have athe audio out pins for some stupid reason. The only way to do this is through the the jack plug.
[Desire Accessories] offshore tiger:
Hi Lukzke....do you know if this is possible, (playing out through the ear phone jack plug)?

I did try this using a camera lead that was 3.5mm plug to two rca plugs, into my home amp's aux in ports. I had to turn the amp volume up very high to get any sound out, and then it started skipping tracks and generally behaving badly, so i disconnected. (There may be a better lead out there).

Would really love a solution so that I can stick a finger up to the ipeople!:confused:
[Desire Accessories] nzdcoy:
just did this the other night with a 3.5mm->3.5mm lead. the only way that it MAY have done that if somehow it interfered with the control lines (used when when you use the stock earbuds).

try a different cable, that should fix it.

[Desire Accessories] mithrandi:
I have an FM transmitter in my car that I plug into my 3.5mm jack; and I've noticed once or twice that when jamming the connector in at a funny angle without paying much attention, that the phone comes up with the "headset" icon instead of the "headphones" icon. Unplugging it and plugging it in again always solves the issue, though. I think it just happens due to accidentally making contact with the microphone/control contacts.
[Desire Accessories] offshore tiger:
yes, a new simple lead fixed it....a Connexia 3.5mm G+ model....quite cheap and has worked all day without skipping and the volume levels are ok on my Marantz amp.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pitbull_Raven:
Hi all.

Having rooted with unrevoked and made a nandroid backup of my rom, I installed OpenDesire Team's Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM and radio on my phone. It worked well and it's the mod I am going to use. Problem is I don't have the time to set it all up now and reinstall everything and put all my settings as I'd like them since I am going to be on a business trip for the next 2 to 3 weeks. So I did a nandroid restore. All well and OK. Except I could no longer see any of my videos. Always an error telling me Sorry, you cannot play this video or whatnot. I rebooted and immediately after reboot I tried to play the same files. The first one started, then froze, and then all video files gave me the same error. Even files I had recorded with the phone. This went on for a few hours till I remembered the damn radio file. Thinking "it can't be that" I dloaded a previous version from the development section and flashed. Believe it or not, I can now play videos. Crises averted... except it's not.

Today I noticed that my Gmail app isn't syncing anymore. I receive mails in real time (pushed to the device) and can open and read them fine. I can even delete them from the inbox (or so it seems), but when I tried to reply to an email I noticed my mail just sat there saying "sending" in those red / pink letters. I tried to compose a new mail and sending that only to find all my composed mails since I had restored were still sitting in my outbox label / folder. And when I accessed Gmail from my PC's web browser, I found that all the mails I had opened in the Gmail app on the phone were still unopened on the servers. And the deleted ones were still there too, untouched. So it seems my Gmail stopped syncing. And I have already checked the settings. All else is working including calendar and contacts.

I have performed over a dozen restores now and tried all radio files in the forum. Nothing worked.

Does anyone have a solution for this issue? Please!!!!! Very urgent I fix it before leaving tomorrow evening.
[HD Mini General] kdwms:
My Mini is my first smartphone, and I have now discovered that O2 have put their own ROM on it, removing features like the WIFI Router.

I see on the HTC web site that there are now three software updates for this device. My question is will these install on my O2 modified ROM (or do I need them)?

Also, can I installed Office Mobile 2010 on it?
[HD Mini General] NeilM:
Technically you can install any HD Mini ROM on your device but practically it is difficult at present. HTC and O2 both have software locks on their systems, so an O2 serial number won't allow you to download a generic ROM from the HTC site and if you can obtain one the device won't allow you to install it.

There are ways around this but the folk who make this possible haven't found an easy method yet. I'd suggest staying with what you have got, but keep checking back in the ROM Development part of this forum. As a 'novice' you should not take any risks yet!
[HD Mini General] kdwms:
Thanks for your reply. That deals with replacing the ROM, but how about the bug fix downloads on the HTC site. Will these apply to an O2 ROM?
[HD Mini General] NeilM:
The 'bug fix' downloads are applicable to all devices and can be downloaded without a serial number.

Once downloaded the patch file must be copied to the mobile device and then located using 'File Explorer' ; once located, tap the file name to run the installation.

These updates are non-destructive to your existing data.

how do u use odin? i open it, i see start and master clear.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
very good question, I have no idea... I wont have my phone back for a few days.
[Captivate Android Development] mcvert:
downloading right now...

hopefully this flashes stock captivate firmware?

UPDATE: just ran it on my captivate (which was actually flashed to vibrant firmware and rooted)

it really is one-click! very convenient. just plugged in my phone in download mode.

but IT REALLY DOES WORK i'm back onto my captivate stock firmware, though it did wipe user data.

i did lose root, but... yeah. no biggy.

VERY GOOD FIND
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Awesome!! Did you have to do anything special to get it to see your phone or did you just plug it in and click start?
[Captivate Android Development] mcvert:
just plugged in and hit start! it did it all on its own.
[Captivate Android Development] Croak:
Did it stay on "File analysis" for a long time?

NM, did a restart of Odin, it's all good now. :)
[Captivate Android Development] sejin:
can u give step/step directions? i'm having issues.

1. i put in downloading mode

2. i open odin

3. i plug in usb

4. and it just stays at file analysis, nothing else happens. how long do i need to wait?

i'm using win 7 x64. i have kies installed.
[Captivate Android Development] mcvert:
if you're getting that, quit and unplug the phone, take out the battery so it's completely dead (and take out the sim card while you're at it)

then put back just the battery and put the phone into download mode (volume down + power)

then run odin and THEN plug in the phone. you have to do it in the right order otherwise it gets stuck on file analysis. go figure.
[Captivate Android Development] sejin:
ok i did that..now i'm stuck. i have a computer and phone icon with a yellow sign in between. nothing happens. did i just brick my phone?? HELP :((((
[Captivate Android Development] KappaG9:
This should be pinned! :)

Thanks for this!
[Captivate Android Development] Croak:
No.

If you had a messed up original Captivate install, do this:

Unplug

Remove Battery

Reinstall Battery

Hold the DOWN volume button, THEN the power button.

Should go right into Download mode

Open the Odin flasher

Plug USB in

Wait for the connection.

If you're trying to recover from having Vibrant firmware installed, it's the same, but you need to hold the VOLUME UP button instead of DOWN.
[Captivate Android Development] sejin:
i did exactly what u said, remove battery completely, insert battery, hold down first, then press power until it powers up. i get the same issue. a black screen with a graphic that looks like this:

(phone graphic)- - - yellow sign with "!" mark - - - (computer graphic)
[Captivate Android Development] spyz88:
Dear OP,

I f*%!kin love you.

Love,

spyz
[Captivate Android Development] spyz88:
I had the same exact issue while trying to flash the firmware. What you need to do is make sure your phone is off. Open Odin. Attach the phone to your PC. Hold down and press power and it will boot into downloading mode. ODIN MUST BE OPEN!

As long as its attached to the PC and Odin is open it will go into downloading mode, not the picture that you are seeing.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
:D

Glad I could help!!
[Captivate Android Development] sejin:
1. i opened odin

2. i removed/inserted battery so phone is off

now comes the problems.

1. i put the usb cable into the phone, and the black screen with computer/phone/"!" sign shows up.

2. i hold down and power, the black screen with computer/phone/"!" sign shows up.

3. i hold down and power right when i insert the usb cable, the black screen with computer/phone/"!" sign shows up.

i cannot enter downloading mode. i really appreciate your assistance, but i cannot get into the yelllow digger :(

however when i start up the phone normally (not download or recovery mode) my my device is recognized

Right click on the unknown device, update drivers, point it to the drivers you downloaded.

Otherwise it will install the old ones.
[Captivate Android Development] pantyryder69:
Thanks for the quick reply i did that and a window pops up saying that Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date and there is a picture of a usb cable and it still says unknown device

in the device status window it says:

Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

but there are no problems when i am not in downloader mode...
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
select the options so that you get the pick the driver, not just the location, otherwise windows will use the old one... Its pretty lame :)
