Hello matey and welcome. Ive had a few phones myself with o2, palm pre, iphone, winmo, blackberry, symbian and so far android is by far the best in terms of what you can do and how it looks (although webos is pretty sweet in the slickness factor)

anyway the desire is a cracking phone but to wake it on the trackpad your going to have to root it. This is probably the best place to be looking if your going to root (look in the development section) or pop over to modaco.

Personally I rooted, I wasnt going to but the lack of app storage space pushed me to it and although I tried to stick around the sense roms ive now moved over to stock android and its much better for me but you do lose that fancy weather animation ;) (which i do miss)
[Desire General] Dwarkarn:
There is an app on marketplace that will wake up the phone via the pad. Forget its name though.

Couldn't be easier.. Welcome and good luck..
[Desire General] Wingzer:
Thanks lads, I was thinking of rooting but the i've seen the instructions looks like it'll take forever.
[Desire General] Mr Brainz:
UnrEVOked makes it really easy to root your desire. It's easiest on OS X or Linux. With Windows you have to uninstall HTC Sync (that's if you've installed it already), install a driver, then reinstall HTC Sync.

There's a Windows guide here (assuming that's what you use) - http://myhtcdesire.com/modding/how-to-root-your-desire-easily-method-2
[Desire General] Wingzer:
Thanks a lot man definitley gonna go this and yeah i'm a windows user studied IT at college so bit of a passion.
[Desire General] Wingzer:
Giving it a go but trying to do the drivers stage and my PC just isn't displaying the device in device manager what so ever.
[Desire General] ryanrich:
Haha, welcome, I loved your post!

I made the move from a 3GS because I was highly disappointed in iOS 4 and the fact it still looks exactly the same since the first version in 2007 with no cusomisation at all, oh no wait, you can now change the wallpaper, yay! Not to mention very unhappy with Apple's handling of this entire antennagate nonsense...

Couldn't be happier on Android... :D
[Desire General] diggedy:
it actually took me longer to download all the files than it did to complete the process. It really was easy
[Desire General] Wingzer:
Just tried it but flashed to a Nexus One rom so no sense UI didn't really like it so unrooted will just wait for the update :D
[Desire General] pascanu:
Rooting using Unrevoked was as painless as it gets. Just read those instructions very carefully and you'll be done in 5 minutes. I've been on the fence for a long time (to root or not to root until this latest method came out because I wanted to be able to backup everything BEFORE installing a custom ROM).

As for the trackpad wake-up check my signature for a rock-solid ROM that includes everything you need.
[Desire General] Wingzer:
Ah right and yeah might just give that ROM a little go.
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
Just go with a sense rom. There is plenty. Here are the one's i have liked if you decide to try again:

For android 2.1: mcr r3.1

For android 2.2(many improvements): Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM (not quite official though)

[EVO 4G General] hydralisk:
Interesting... I was reading this article (http://androidandme.com/2010/07/car...ons-why-t-mobile-3g-is-better-than-sprint-4g/) that speculates that Sprint will have the slowest speeds by the end of 2011.

Of course, the primary purpose of the article is to pit T-Mobile's 3G against Sprint's 4G... but also goes on to talk about AT&T and Verizon. I'll summarize what I gathered in the article.

Sprint's "4G" WiMax speeds have a theoretical limit of 11 Mpbs. I've personally been able to hit 3 Mbps. Some people on T-Mobile's 3G HSPA+ can apparently hit 5 Mbps with a theoretical limit of 21 Mbps.

AT&T will also upgrade to HSPA+, but with a theoretical limit of 14.4 Mbps (still faster than Sprint). The article specualtes that Verizon will have the fastest 4G available, but not until a year from now.

Do you think Sprint will up their game? Is that even possible? Did I choose the wrong carrier when I went with the EVO?
[EVO 4G General] sablesurfer:
In two years switch to the fastest network. Why worry about it now...and really are you going to have same phone in two years?
[EVO 4G General] Blackcircle:
Alot can happen between now and the end of next year. I believe you made a good choice being that Evo is a kickass phone and Sprint has the best plans and service (imo). This article may very well be accurate or not so, either way I give credit to Sprint for pushing pretty hard to get 4G to out as fast as they did even if is not as fast as they make it to be. Anyways...the Evo will be old by the end of next year regardless so you can choose again :D I think sprint will adjust accordingly to the market when that time comes.
[EVO 4G General] jasecloud4:
Unfortunately this article falls short in a number of ways:

Sprint's current WiMax standard (802.16e) has a max theoretical downspeed of 144Mb/s. 802.16m, the future revision of WiMax has a theoretical max of 1Gb/s.

HSPA+'s current max speed is 56Mb/s, and the future revision max is 168Mb/s.

Nobody's network right now is even close to those speeds. Sprint has a head start, and the existing infrastructure to build off of in terms of subscribers and towers.

T-Mobile has Deutsch Telekom's money to build off of, but their existing 3G coverage is grossly lacking.

Granted both parties are trying to build as much as possible, but in the end I'll stick with Sprint.

Your call.

~Jasecloud4
[EVO 4G General] P_Dub_S:
WIKI reports WiMAX has a theoretical limit of 40 Mbit/s?
[EVO 4G General] nowhere2010:
Let's just keep in mind that that these are theoretical maximum transfer rates possible under ideal conditions. Once you take into account the real world signal conditions, tower loading, and backhaul capacity it's a completely different ballgame.
[EVO 4G General] kenny21:
Your totally right. Think about it Wireless N has a theoretical speed of 300mbps, but for the most part you'd be lucky to get a transfer speed over 180mbps (at least in my case, some might get a little higher) because this is theoretical and could someday reach that potential. The same goes for 4g. Everyone has their own speeds and systems but in the end its just a matter of who has better coverage. At&t and t-mobile might have "more bars in more spaces", but in my experience sprint and verizon have far superior data networks and I don't think thats going to end anytime soon. So for me I'll stick with Sprint.
[EVO 4G General] moonpie28:
For me the important thing is Sprint has the fastest speed RIGHT NOW. I live in Seattle and average 3-5 with 4G (recently got a lot better). A year or two from now I may move somewhere else but for now my friends look on enviously.
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Agreed. Besides, to me the most important thing right now is how long sprint's going to keep the unlimited data option. Who knows,in two years with everyone capping data, might as well go to the provider who's gonna fill the bucket fastest. Who exactly is going to be the fastest? That's anyones guess right now, but it doesn't really matter because alot can change in two years.
[EVO 4G General] themyst:
based on my experience, AT&T's 3G performance (latency aside) with an HSUPA-enabled device is excellent and trumps Sprint's 3G by far. I constantly pull 3.5 mbit/s down, 1.6mbit/s up on my phone, which is comparable or perhaps a slight tick below Sprint's WiMax performance levels.
[EVO 4G General] crakerjaks:
N1 users on Tmo raped us in speed tests still.. so sprint is still slow.. I get usually 2-3mb down most of the time, N1 users are boastin 5-10mb+ down on tmo 3g.. =\

[EVO 4G General] popular nobody:
Stupid argument since Sprint/Clearwire is switching to 802.16e Enhanced by the end of the year, with a software update and a few hardware changes. Research the stats for it, and then see if you agree with that post.

Sprint will be using LTE, one way or another. They've already contacted suppliers a few months ago.

[EVO 4G General] hydralisk:
Heh. This is why I posted this thread. Just about everyone is more informed than I am. I love my EVO but everyone was looking at me like I was crazy when switching to Sprint.

I'm mostly concerned because I do find Sprint's current 3G-4G offerings to be pretty slow... and my reception isn't as good as my Fiance's who is on AT&T. She points that out all the time...

I'd prefer to have a balance between good reception and good internet speeds. These are phones, after all :D
[EVO 4G General] jasecloud4:
If you stick with a smartphone long enough, you'll realize that at the beginning of the year one carrier might be dominant, but by the end of the year the title has changed.

Stick with what you've got (unless your on Cricket :P), and you'll be alright.

~Jasecloud4
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
It also comes down to unlimited data vs limited data. The other guys are all changing their data plans (tmobile and sprint aside).

What its the point if slightly faster speed if you can only use it half the month because of data caps.
[EVO 4G General] rutter9:
I'm happy with mine. I got this speed while using wifi tether on my laptop :D

Also note I used the browser to test this speed
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
I was thinking about this yesterday while stuck in the car streaming Pandora. I am glad I don't have to worry about how my music I stream for fear of running out of data.

The Everything Plan is what will keep me on Sprint, even if they are a bit slower.

The compression and technologies (html5, silverlight) are going to provide better performance streaming with less throughput. So are you really ever going to need more than 3-5mb on your phone? You arn't going to hit many sources that can provide you data faster than you can download.

(I can see needing more if you are tethering multiple devices)

I just worry that their speedy push to 4g is going to leave there 3g network in the dust. Let's face it there are still plenty of places that do not have even a 3g network, at least in my state there is. If someplace doesn't even have access to 3g there is no way they are going to get 4g.

I am having issues connecting to mobile data when I switch from 2G to 3G (WCDMA). I can be connected to data via Edge or GPRS on 2G and when I switch to 3G data drops (as expected) while the phone reconnects using 3G but data wont reconnect until I power off and back on again ?

Before you ask, I switch to 2G while at home because the 3G signal is bad and the phone doesnt seem to want to switch down to 2G by itself when there is a really weak 3G signal.

Anyone else have these issues or even better any solutions ?

cheers,

Seedar.
[Vibrant General] SuperMiguel:
So when im not running anything, when i open Advanced Task Killer it has like 125M is this right???

So what the other 387MB doing?
[Vibrant General] here.david:
what I see

when I 1st start I have about 230MB, after a few minutes it goes down to about 90mb...without opening anything...seems many programs on the Samsung "open" by themselves...also, I see that the CPU goes down to about 100Mhz so I keep it at 1000Mhz with setcpu....plus deleted many Samsung apps(about 30MB)...helps with the lag...
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
Don't worry so much about it. This isn't windows, you don't need to worry about free RAM. Android will kill tasks as needed to free ram when it needs to. Some of that is likely used for disk cache as well. That will also be released as needed. Let the OS do its job, it's quite good at it..

Killing some of the bloatware will help as well, but you need root.

I also think that this phone, like the G1, has some of the speced 512M ram dedicated to the camera, GPU, and other stuff. In the terminal, free shows about 388M as total ram.
[Vibrant General] SuperMiguel:
is it a good to create a swap partition on the SD card?
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
Why on earth would you want swap with this much ram? You likely can, with root and swapper, but why? This phone doesn't need it like the G1 did. Swap could help keep more apps open in the background, but there are already a lot of them there. I don't see any benefit to swap right now. What isn't working for you that you think is related to low ram?
[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
Yeah...what he said ^
[Vibrant General] anomalous3:
As with the nexus one, not all 512mb can be addressed by the system right off the bat; we may need to wait until a newer kernel comes out
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] sassnowwolf:
Hi all, i've been searching for months for an answer to my simple questions but unfortunately i cannot find the remedy anywhere!! Now what i have been wondering is, with the new 2.1 ROMS, where the exit keyboard button is, on the Desire there is a smiley face button instead, i believe this was installed on one ROM, however i preferred to use a stock based ROM as my daily phone, now what i am wondering is, does anyone know where i can get the keyboard with the smiley, possibly as an update ZIP? i am certain it exists somewhere, but i am unable to find it anywhere!

Now my second question is about the stock navbar, i have found a couple of update ZIP's to make it transparent, but what i am after is a complete change of it so it resembles the Froyo navbar or to be honest, anything but the standard one! any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] maddog497:
Swiftkey has a smiley on the right side of the keyboard and is a very good keyboard as well. It tries to guess what your next word will be and offers a choice to you.

It is in the market so downloading and installing is a breeze.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] sassnowwolf:
does sound good however i have quite dubious about installing third party keyboards, i'm almost 99% that i have oreviously seen a HTC IME keyboard?? (sp) that was flashable to the hero, i just can't seem to find it anywhere!!

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] sassnowwolf:
brilliant!!! only thing now is how do i install this!?! thanks so much :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] maddog497:
Make sure you download the right one for your phone and follow the instruction on the page. I have pasted them here as well and added some addition notes.

Instructions:

* Download and unzip (not flashable update.zip!) This would be on your computer! After downloading extract or unzip the file. There will be 3 files in the folder after extracting counting the read me file.

* Install the two apks (HTC_IME & Clicker) using your favorite method (via a file manager or adb install -r). Sense users shouldn't (and needn't) install Clicker. (Put those two files on your SD card, and then using something like Astro file manager install them. You do this by opening your file manager, find the two files, click on them one at a time, and choose the option to install)

* There is no need to push anything to /system

* Go to Menu, Settings, Language & Keyboard. Activate "HTC_IME mod"

* To change keyboard, long press on lower left key on stock keyboard or any input field. Select input method in the menu.

* See note below if you have earlier versions than v22 installed already!

And as far as downloading 3rd party apps I wouldn't without reading some reviews as well. I have used the Swiftkey keyboard and like it very much. I have had zero issues with it and have tried it on several different roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] sassnowwolf:
Thanks a lot for your in depth reply, i got the keyboard working and i like it a lot! all i need now is another navbar, does anyone know of any replacements apart from the transparent standard ones? :)

thanks in advance!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] SpeeDemon:
You were probably using the HTC_IME MOD keyboard!

Anyway, I am unfamiliar with the term "Navbar". Do you mean the dock style area at the bottom of the screen? Many launchers seem to refer to this as the app drawer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] sassnowwolf:
yes i think thats what it is, i've heard it called the Rosie too? its what separate launchers replace :) are there any replacements i can flash to the phone like the Expresso navbar? thanks :)

Now I am trying to re-root it in ubuntu 10 and im not having any luck getting ADB to connect to the slide while in recovery. I am a complete newb to linux.

You do realize that there are a lot of other distributions out there other than Ubuntu? Ubuntu is easy, yes, but almost too easy. You're not going to learn anything about Linux with that disguise around it. Besides, openSUSE 11.3 was just released and it has YaST: the best system configuration tool ever. It's almost as easy as Ubuntu. Try it out: http://software.opensuse.org/113/en.

More specifically though, I personally use openSUSE 11.3 and it plays nicely with ADB and rooting with the ADB race exploit (which, for the record, is what you're trying to do). :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sultan.of.swing:
Ok say I install openSUSE 11.3. Will I have to do any hackery to get adb running? I'm not well trained on linux. But from last nights experience I know how to work with the terminal and nautilus:)
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbetcher:
No, nothing other than what you did on Ubuntu. Just install ADB using the Android SDK from their website and plug in your phone to your computer. Done.

Also of note, when you install openSUSE it defaults to KDE as your desktop environment. If you want Gnome, select it during install. Nautilus isn't present in KDE, but it has Konqueror (which is arguably better). Personally I use KDE, but I have a bias towards it since I was a developer for it long ago. Flamewars rage, have raged, and will always continue to rage about what is better: KDE or Gnome. There's no clear answers, but most of KDE's recent bad publicity was due to its 4.0 and 4.1 releases. 4.2 is much better and it can be greatly appreciated.

That being said, you can use Nautilus in KDE if you want as well as Pidgin (Kopete is dieing and doesn't really work anymore).
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sultan.of.swing:
To get ADB installed and running on Ubuntu I had to follow the guide posted here on XDA which involved some editing here and there. If its the same in openSUSE then I should be able to get it running. Thank's for your help and I am going to probably go ahead and download and install openSUSE. I need to learn linux anyway.

EDIT- Whew, 4gb. Guess I will let this download tonight and come back tomorrow night and install and try it again.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbetcher:
Strange, the SDK worked out-of-the-box for me on openSUSE 11.3 - no editing of anything required.

And yeah, it's 4GB - that is the entire repository. Ubuntu gives you a smaller CD (as opposed to a DVD) then allows you to download anything else you want later. Personally I prefer the DVD, but I also have a 20mbit connection. :P
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sultan.of.swing:
Well hopefully I wont have to do any editing to get it to work either.

It's downloading at 400kb/s about 3 hours to download so it aint gonna take that long.

Awesome. I'm gonna try to do everything by myself and if all that fails then I'm sure I will need some help. I hate having to ask for help. I usually search and find the answers I am looking for so hopefully that will be the case once all this is up and running.

P.S.-- If the Mod's would like to move this thread to the Q&A/General section then feel free. I only posted it here because no one ever seems to look at the linux thread over in Q&A.
