Yep, without a Goldcard, you can't do it!

*EDIT - If your Desire was already unbranded, you don't need a goldcard.

But if it EVER was branded, you need a goldcard,

even after you have unbranded your phone, and accept new updates, you NEED a goldcard
[Desire General] Sherwood W:
does anyone have any links to debranned roms that will update when the ota update arrives
[Desire General] Vorbeth:
That mean if your Desire was unbranded when you bought it, not one you have unbranded yourself.
[Desire General] EroThraX:
Creating a gold card for stock updates, kind of a pain.

I would rather quickly root via Unrevoked3 and flash any of the ROMS that are going to be popping up on XDA and Modaco the moment the 2.2 update is released.
[Desire General] jpxdude:
That depends really. With Klutsh's Goldcard creator tool, it literally takes 2 minutes to do the whole thing, and you can use the goldcard (converted SD card) as your regular card anyway. So you are basically creating a safeguard just by converting your regularly used SD card to a goldcard. You don't need to keep swapping it out with a 'special' card...
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Yeah create goldcard. Then run any stock rom rru update. It's really simple. I did mine as soon as i recoeved it. Must have been less than a week into April.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
I talked to this guy at McDonalds today and right after he handed me my fries and shake he winked at me and said sprint will be releasing 2.2 on Halloween this coming fall!!

Then he says to me "but if you give me a ride to the bus stop you can have this" and holds out a dirty grease-stained McDonalds bag.

I drove him to the bus stop and as he's getting out of the car he looks me in the eye and says "keep it secret, keep it safe" and hands me the bag.

I opened the bag and looked in and the glory was such that all I saw was a bright light. I dropped my phone in the bag and checked on it 10 minutes later and whadda you know? I got 2.2 on my EVO!! :D

[EVO 4G General] rockdrummersrock:
What he really meant to say was that the dude at McDonalds gave him a McFlurry (dairy, frozen yogurt-like treat) and he dropped his phone in it. So TECHNICALLY he does have "Froyo" on his phone. I must say that since I am hungry I AM kind of jealous but on the other note I'm not sure how well my phone would hold up to being dipped in a McFlurry....
[EVO 4G General] bender1077:

Wasn't funny until "keep it secret. keep it safe."

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austontatious:
So I know it's not really overclocking, but I wasn't sure what to call it. Basically, would it be possible to either write a custom radio file or some kind of program like SetCPU, but for the radio, that would allow you to boost the signal strenth (at the expense of the battery, obviously) like if you are in a poor coverage area or something. I'm pretty sure these are capable of transmitting at higher power, aren't they mostly limited by those fascists down at the FCC? Anyway, I don't even know if it's possible, but i figured this would be the place to ask!
[TG01 ROM Development] TONYKENT:
Any ideas how to restore button mappings for the lower right hand side button where after installing Miro's rom (and apparently other roms based on sense) it no longer works?
[TG01 ROM Development] (InsertNameHere):
All the sense roms break the camera button, no permanent solution at this time, best bet is to set a Home screen shortcut to activate the camera, and use the onscreen shutter button.

Sorry if this answer is not to your liking

Download : Vito Button Mapper and mapp this button for camera
[TG01 ROM Development] columbo:
A simple registry edit will enable a hidden option in the button settings which will allow you to change the function of camera button.

Using a registry editor, navigate to the following key. (If you are unsure as how to do this, use this forum's search function to look for guides on how to edit the registry. I use Resco File Explorer, which isn't free, but there are plenty of free registry editors.)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/ControlPanel/Buttons/

You will see an entry called NoHardwareButtons.

Change the value from 1 to 0.

Now if you go to your button settings (Start - Settings - Personal - Buttons) you will notice a new option which allows you to assign the camera button to open any app you want. You can use this option to restore the button back to the camera if you want.

EDIT: I've created a cab that should change the setting for you. This is my first cab, so please let me know if it works or not.

My wife and I have two new Evos, and we are both experiencing problems opening attachments in the HTC Mail app, but only on POP accounts. One IMAP account seems fine. Here are the symptoms:

1. With the attachment cache set to external (the default), the attachment (pdf, spreadsheet, Word doc) is always listed as 0 KB. Attempts to download again give the same result.

2. With the attachment cache set to internal, the attachment will download with a good number of KB, but the reading application (pdf reader, the office app) says that the document can't be opened. If I save the document to the storage card and I then try to open it on my PC (with Acrobat, Excel or Word), the document is indeed corrupted.

3. The one exceptional attachment type is *.jpg, which seems to behave well, although I see variable image quality in different mail accounts.

4. It is worth repeating that all of these problems are with POP accounts. My one IMAP account seems fine,

I am using the HTC Mail app version 2.00.0037.195459.

I am finding almost no references to these problems through Google, so perhaps this is a result of a very recent Mail version.

Is anyone else noticing this? Any ideas for a fix?

Hi, please tell me im not the only one that's annoyed when you reply to an update in the friends feed for twitter or face book and even write and go, you get a message that says update failed or connection error... it happens almost every time. Anyone knows what the issue might be? its beyond annoying when you want to use the widgets and reply on the go. They are fun to use but not when you keep getting an error message.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Grahammm:
Hi

I've got an HTC Tilt 2 - which is of course, At&t's version. However my service provider isn't At&t. So I've noticed the built in Opera won't load pages, Internet explorer, or Vlingo won't do Google searches.

I did add my settings, and can use Opera 10 (which I downloaded) - or Skype, etc.

I did see MEdianet is my pre-configured connection, and you can't change it, I'm thinking that's the problem...

Any help would be much appreciated.

Is there any way to get copy/paste functionality on a non-sense 2.2 rom. Its killing me that I dont have this, really the only thing missing from CM6 and holding me back from it as a daily driver.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Is_907:
Copy/paste should work just fine in CM6. Works for me, anyway.

Just long press on the text you want and you should get the menu with copy/cut options.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oblivion0:
Not to hijack this thread, but I've asked elsewhere and there doesn't appear to be a solution but I figured I'd give the inquiry another go...

Is anyone aware of a method to use either a multitouch keyboard or perhaps a specific pinch/zoom gesture to copy/past/cut text on the fly?

I really miss being able to do so easily on my G1's physical keyboard...and highlighting specific text with the trackball.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feld0013:
maybe i am a roflcopter, but I cannot get a copy paste prompt to open after a longpress? Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomDood:
Where are you trying to copy text from?

I am able to long-press on any text field (SMS, Address Bar, etc.) and get a pop-up menu that includes: Select text, Select all, Cut, Copy, Paste, etc.

I am running CM6 RC1 on my EVO.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
You need to menu -> select text.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Swype has a fairly easy-to-use (though not as easy as SenseUI) select text method. Just Swype from the Swype key (the one in the bottom-left corner with the i above the Swype logo) to the SYM key. This will open the third keyboard in Swype; the editing keyboard.
[Vibrant General] JWhipple:
Yesterday I ran into 3 apps that were showing updates available, so I went to update and got a download unsuccessful message.

I uninstalled the apps and attempted to reinstall fresh from the market, same deal.

I waited at least an hour, tried again, same issue.

I did a NAND restore back a few days and had the same problem.

I did another NAND restore with the same backup after doing a WIPE, worked fine.

I ran into more odd-ball issues last night so I decided to do a wipe followed by a factory reset. Now I got all but 2 items installed - the other 2 items again are showing download unsuccessful after repeated attempts.

I've got 1.67 GB free for application storage, so I wouldn't think there is an issue there.

Sound like I have a hosed phone? I'm now past 14 days since I got it on release date - could I still go back to the store and expect that they would do a swap?

Any feedback is appreciated - I am sticking with this phone, just want to get any kinks knocked out of it!

Thanks!
[Vibrant General] stepinmyworld:
if your device is rooted, maybe that's the reason... if I were you, i would try to return the device and let them know that it just wont download apps you want. They almost have to take it back.
[Vibrant General] JWhipple:
It had been rooted at one point, but that has been removed.

I just called and spoke with the local retail store - 14 days is it. After that I have to go through customer care...

Guess I'll keep banging away at it and see what else I can figure out...

Damn - this is upsetting!
[Vibrant General] stepinmyworld:
good luck with that. there's nothing more frustrating than that. i wish they had quick fixes... like.. *download this and install to fix this issue* ya know? very simply stuff. smh
[Vibrant General] JWhipple:
One last act of desperation and I think I fixed it....

I cleared the cache for the Market app and I was able to download the remaining apps.

I just recently rooted my phone to the ported version of Android 2.2. When the supposed release of the "official" Android 2.2 comes out, how the hell do I update my phone to the "official" Android 2.2. Would I have to unroot it and then install the OTA official update and then wait for a root or will there be an update for my already ported version of 2.2? Can anyone help out?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fixter:
You need to unroot and install an Official ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetApex:
Never update officially, unless you don't mind missing out on having root and all of the other benefits. Just hold out a few days (maybe hours?) longer after the official version hits and some kind souls here will break out the bad and leave in the good for us all.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxr2hxx:
flash one of the shipped roms, check development section for official roms, and that should unroot your phone if you want to flash the official 2.2 from sprint. also, you can wait until the devs update their roms with 2.2 goodies.

Powerstrip multitasker

Dev site

package name: mobi.intuitit.android.p.powerstrip

QR code:

I started using this yesterday, it is a great app that works in conjunction with your existing home screen. Right now it is on sale for $.99

XDA thread from Nexus One

Edit: More information as requested.

Function Description:

1. Can be started from any app in any orientation by a single home key click.

2. Access your preferred home screen by double home key clicks.

3. Fast switch to another app, one click to switch back.

4. One click to see all your apps in your current application.

5. Use widgets in your running application without exiting it.

6. Directly share your current application/widget to your friends or visit its market page.

7. Directly uninstall or force stop the running applications without exiting it.

8. Totally customizable.

9. No space limit. You can add ALL your widgets/shortcuts/bookmarks/contacts to it if you wish.

Screenshots do not really do it justice, but here they are:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] acjames:
Screenshots would help with the description tremendously.....
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MINUS Stl:
PowerStrip. Definitely a great app. Been using it for a few months now.

It's basically "hidden/second" homescreen that gives access to widgets, apps, shortcuts without having to exit to your main homescreen. I definitely recommend it. :D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] chaoscentral:
so basically the same thing as QuickDesk, which I might add is free ;)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MINUS Stl:
Very true. Quickdesk is free, but you only have 1 screen. PowerStrip technically gives you 3 screens AND access to all your apps.

I've used QuickDesk and it's a great app too. PowerStrip is well worth the $1, IMO.

With a stock 2.2 leak my scores are running in the low 800's. This seems pretty slow compared to what I am seeing. Any thoughts?
[Droid Incredible General] deficitism:
This belongs in General.

To answer your question, it sounds like you applied the streaming audio patch, which lowers the score simply due to change in real-time audio transcoding. You are looking to much into the 'numbers'.
[Droid Incredible General] crupp:
Hmm, Ok. I thought I only installed market fix, but I could be wrong.

EDIT: the patch does say "market_streaming_fix".

Is there a way to unistall these type of patches?
[Droid Incredible General] iamsupreme:
Why would you want to uninstall something that gives an added functionality simply for the sake of having a higher score that has no bearing on everday phone use?
[Droid Incredible General] crupp:
I don't want to uninstall, just for future reference.

You would need the original files to repatch them. So basically a nandroid backup.

Do I need to copy additional files/folders to make it work on froyo? Is it possible at all? I would like to continue using track id instead of the other proposed software due to the spyware rumours and tha fact that there is no limit of songs to recognize.
