Hi, ms iPhone is from vodafone germany. Hut my bootscreen shows HTC is it branded or not. The phone package had also no Vodafone Text

Glass half empty much? :rolleyes:
[Desire General] Stretlow:
Hes sort of right though, ive been using the OD official rom for a week or so and theres nothing wrong with it, snappier than 2.1 few extra features but not a complete difference.

I dont expect the official to be much different if anything to the one im running.

However the leaked rom could be a red herring ( i doubt it though )
[Desire General] r47z:
Well, if you over expect then you are going to get more disappointed. I'm on leaked ROM and I'm very happy with it :) It should come with Desire in the first place. But there was no FroYo then. So guys, you will be happy with FroYo but don't think it does magic.
[Desire General] gringooo:
Do we have to backup phone (contacts, messages...) before this update?
[Desire General] sangreal:
Agree, can't do couple of things on sense roms that you can do on opendesire such as use wiimote etc so ill prob stick with adamg or cm6 roms to be honest.

See what can be ripped out of the new rom when released
[Desire General] GANJDROID:
There have been more than 20 threads scattered over the Desire section about official froyo. All stating how it came yesterday. Oh, yeah, it didn't happen. Mods really need to be alert over the next week or so to stop this spam.
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
did you read the link?

"The update won't delete any of the phone's content. However, due to the size of the update, we would advise using a WiFi connection to download it wherever possible to avoid additional data charges."
[Desire General] assimilator:
Ditto. But are the handsets unlockd nd therefore unbranded even when you get them on contract via MPD.
[Desire General] gringooo:
Yes, I did, but I have to be sure about this.
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
its been confirmed that Europe is getting Froyo this weekend.
[Desire General] GANJDROID:
But still. One sticky thread will do fine.
[Desire General] djtosh:
what were u expecting? its an upgrade of an os form 2.1 to 2.2. Its not a new os, i think the updates are brilliant, especially to htc sense. Flash is awsome and a big implementation over the previous version. old school a2sd+ was not implemented by htc or google and therefore it is implemented on froyo by devs in communities like this one. its the little changes that make the phone more user friendly that count.
[Desire General] roby700:
Hi Guys,

i am intending to buy a htc desire but am not yet clear wheter i can benefit from a feature commonly called VOICE OR SOUND RECORDER. I mean , if am on incoming or outgoing calls can i record the 2way conversation?

as far as u know if there any apps on the Android market that, once downloaded, can allow me to do this ???

thanks
[Desire General] Flaggie:
Please do a quick search of this forum and you will find your answer

[Vibrant General] aeson:
I don't know if this has been added somewhere, but i searched everywhere for it and couldn't find one so i made a little tutorial on how to put album art into your music using itunes (on windows 7).

if your music has album art already you can tell by looking at the icon below the window.

if not then it will look like this

so now lets choose that album and drag the folder into your itunes like so...

then when in itunes right click the album you just added and choose "Get Album Artwork" and the image will appear, but if you don't have an itunes account (like me) and couldn't get it you would have to go online and search for the album cover on google images. when you find your image right click it and click on "Copy Image"

after that go into your itunes and right click the album and click "Get Info" (i think it will ask something like "you sure you want to continue blah blah blah" just tick the box that says "don't ask again" and click yes. if it doesn't then you probably already did.) when the window pops up there will be 4 tabs (info, video, sorting, & options) make sure you're on the Info tab which you will probably end up at by default. on the bottom right you'll see "Artwork" with a big empty box. on that empty spot right click it and click "Paste" then click "Ok" a progress bar will show up copying the image to each song in that album.

now plug in your samsung vibrant and go to your music folder(or where ever you put your music). i like to keep things organize so i made a music folder>artist folder>album folder. so if i had one artist with multiple albums that i like i can just drag that album to the artist folder. now from itunes drag the album into whatever folder you have on your samsung vibrant or sdcard and thats it! and when thats done check if that albumart icon appears on the bottom left just to be sure.

now on your phone drag the notification bar to "Turn off USB storage" and go into your music player to see if it embedded the albumart.

i know its not the fastest way but if your ocd like me and wants every song to have an albumart then this should do the trick. i've tried doing it on windows media player but it was giving me a headache and itunes was way faster. the good thing about it is that you wont have any album covers saved into your computer or phone because it will save you a lot of space for people like me who have a ton of music in their harddrive. hopefully this helped a lot and PLEASE if i am missing something, if theres a faster way, or if theres already a thread on how to do this please tell me and i will delete this post. I know theres an app to grab albumart and all but to me personally this is faster and i've done it to over 100 albums in minutes. it will save you a lot of time in the future.
[Vibrant General] Fat Tires:
I just use an app on my windows PC called mp3tag. It lets me scrape id3 tag info and album art from Amazon.com and it's easy to use. I've been using it for a couple of years and I love it.

Sent from my Samsung Vibrant using the XDA app.
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
I use mp3tag as well. Works great, but I have found that the music player doesn't always display the album are even though its properly tagged.
[Vibrant General] Fat Tires:
I've not had this issue yet. Admittedly though, I have only tried a small handful of albums so far. I tend to use my Zune HD for most of my music listening.
[Vibrant General] sultan.of.swing:
I use album art grabber from the market. Does everything right from the phone.
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
I use mp3tagger pro from the market for on the go tagging.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Kil:
Does anybody know if there's an app to do this?

I would like to be able to watch what my webcam/ip-cam sees at home, on my sgs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
maybe try this?

fring on SGS + skype in you home pc

i don't know of any other app that can do that at the moment.

but skype can talk to fring (voice over ip video conferencing app)

so if you hook up both of them, then you can do that

create a script to run every 15min at home pc, to connect to dial yourself and enable the video feed
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Aluz1:
Hi, i em new to whole android scene and i have my SGS just few days, but i recognize a lot of downsides in original FW so i decided do flash leatest 2.2 froyo.

I fallowed instructions on samsung-firmwares.com

and try to flash via odin, phone connected to odin, showed some yellow brackeds with com written inside.

so i mounted pit file, and other three files i downloaded from narod.ru

here they are:

GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJP3

I9000XXJP3

I9000XXJP3-REV03-PDA-mid-CL470734

all .tar files

when i hit start, first window gone blue and write restart or reset other thee yellow gone red and write fail. I get cold swet and disconnect the phone and try to turn it on, it turned on just fine and it looks flashed to 2.2, so i turn it off again plug in sim card, turn it on again and everyting work perfect it showes froyo 2.2 and JP3, but is this normal procedure?

I encountered just two things, how to install flash player? i try to instal it from market but this just add url link for download from adobe, but this not work

and second when the screen locks(default lockscreen), it goes dark, but after i unlock it its still dark and i need to setup brightnes manualy, everytime screen is locked and unlocked i need to manualy set brightnes level cos its on the darkest one.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] culturelol:
The Android 2.2 is a test release, so expect problems like that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Aluz1:
Aha i think its unoffical "offica"l :D or full rls...

do i done the flash proces right?

about 2.2 its definetly faster and kies-mtp bug is gone

hi i want to transfer my pics from my phone to pc i connected my Hd2 but i couldn't find them from pc can anybody help me please ? :(
[HD2 General] fred_up:
They are either in the DCIM folder in My Device or in the DCIM folder in root of the Storage Card.

The default settings in the camera is to store the pictures and video recording on the My Device. You can change this to the Storage Card, as it will give you more room for more piccies.
[HD2 General] DN41:
best way is with windows mobile device center.

there you can easily transfer your pics ;)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Norwegian-TP2:
Hi

Is it possible to tweak the Tp2 so I can listen to the radio without the need for a usb-cable?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Barneyabz:
It is possible but don't know how. However if you flash an Energy ROM he has already carried out the tweak and it will work without the cable, however you will need to be very close to a radio station to get it as the cable is the aerial and without it there is no aerial.

cheers

there is a registry setting in state for plugged in head phones. you wont get any signal at all without headphones. i have an adapter that cost $0.01 i got off amazon, it sets the state unlock the stock htc adapter and it provides half signal (for being only 3") but thats good enough for radio.

[HD2 General] Fif23:
Hey, I have a serious problem with my hd2 that nakes it practically useless as an internet device.

every time i try to connect to the internet using msn, opera, rss, youtube etc it wont even try to connect and switch radio to H.. only after trying a few times it randomly works. like theres a problem with requesting 3g.

I have tried it on various roms and radios, task29, you name it.

This makes me really want to sell the device but hopefully someone can help me keep it because its.mostly good !

thanks for any tip!
[HD2 General] fi3ry_icy:
have u tried hooking up to wi-fi?

try switching sim cards with some1 else who has a data plan

1) the same provider as u

2) different provider as u

if 1 & 2 works, it might be ur sim card

if only 2 works, mayb u wanna give ur provider a call..

hope it helps..
[HD2 General] rumpleforeskin:
I would suggest trying a friends sim card (preferably a different network) and seeing if you can narrow the problem down to either the phone or your service provider
[HD2 General] Fif23:
That is a good idea, will do !

Any other suggestions while I search for a friend ?
[HD2 General] HectiQ:
don't know about winmo, but I was walking with a friend, when suddenly she asked me to download a song, I normally never use 3G, because data isn't standard in my plan, so I have to additionally pay for it, and I downloaded 20 mb in 3 minutes, so I'm not saying this is really fast, but as far as I'm concerned, it's a good speed for browsing. As stated above, maybe buy a sim from another operator, with a reload card system.. those are cheap. Test it out, changes between ops are huge. Depending on how to coverage is in your area...
[General Questions and Answers] Sturgie:
Hi all,

i know this might be a stupid question

but what is the differance between the htc p3450 and the htc touch vouge?

they look exactly the same to me and i think they have the same specs?

Thanks in advance

Sturgie
[General Questions and Answers] Spiaatie:
hTC ELF (p3450) is for GSM networks.

hTC VOGUE is for CDMA networks.

:)
[General Questions and Answers] Sturgie:
thank you :)

im pretty sure cdma does not work in the uk?

and can android still be ran on the elf?
[General Questions and Answers] Spiaatie:
Most likely there is no CDMA network in UK.

Those phones only look identical.

Specs are completely different.

There is an Android port for Vogue (can't be used on Elf), but it seems that there is no good Android port for Elf.

You can check this thread [here] for some info.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Bin4ry:
Hi all!

So i finished the Root.

(Many thanks to bitluni for dumping the fota path)

At this very moment you cannot apply the root to all devices.

For now we are not able to downgrade with X10flash tool, thats why the root is only applyable if you are on the right software version.

I'm working on this problem!

So first download please the main root package:

http://rapidshare.com/files/409979297/Root-v1.rar

Then you can download the fota.package for you (more will come):

If you are currently on Firmware 37 VFE-1-8:

http://rapidshare.com/files/409979325/VFE-18-37.rar

If you are currently on Firmware 36 WORLD-1-8:

http://rapidshare.com/files/409989811/World-1-8-36.rar

If you are currently on Firmware 38 WORLD-1-8:

http://rapidshare.com/files/409989990/World-1-8-38.rar

If you downloaded main package and Fota.package please extract both!

You have to copy the fota.pkg file into the Fota Folder which is located in the Root Folder!

Howto:

Please enable USB-Debugging in your phone and connect the usb-cradle.

Run the "RootME.bat" it will guide you through the process!

If you execute the "RootMe.bat", after Step2 you'll see the full debug menu in the phone to select "update from SDCard". You can run the process safely, if the phone isn't in the right version it just won't work, but you won't break/brick anything (just tried) :D:D

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dabulcke:
Hi guys

Great work Bin4ry :-D. Thanks a lot.

Now I have one question. When i look to my phone info i have this :

Model no. : U20i

Firmware version : 1.6

Kernel : 2.6.29 (SEMCUser@SEMCHost #1)

Built number : 1.1.A.0.8

That's not the versions where you are talking about with the 37 or 38.

Why is this so different. can i use the root files for the 38?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Bin4ry:
The problem is that my root bases on the OTA update . So it updates from a specified version to a another one.

You can only use this ATM while you are on this special Version SE released the OTA for!

But as i said another user here had gained root too, his version works on all versions, because he had used a exploit to gain root :)

Of course i will get this thread updated too!

Congrats to Bin4ry anyway!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Bin4ry:
Like i wrote! Very nice :) But nobody knew it :P

It's always better to have 2 rooting methods. your one works like a charm too, but it can be fixed easily with new kernel (better said it is fixed in new kernel :/ )

So for now its VERY GOOD :)

Thanks for this too and Grats to you too :)

Confirmed, downgrade to 1.0.A.1.36 and rooting doesn't work... let's try the exploid method! :)

Thanks Bin4ry and Kalbadan, let's keep the work up!! :)

Sorry for the noob question... now that we have root, is there any chance to get a recovery like JFK's,Amor-Ra's, etc. in HTC? (I come from a G1:D )
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Bin4ry:
Not yet, its the same like on X10, we have to build all of our owns. First is to get X10flash working without bricking.

Next week biktor is joining us here too. I'm working on X10flash in the meanwhile.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] :
Will try that

Vielen danke für dein arbeit Bin4ry !

I'll try that in a minutes, mine is however a 1.1.A.0.8, like agaith, so I'll try the exploit.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] MarylandCookie:
Seems like you got the "hang" of the fota link then Bin4ry lol ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] agaith:
Xploid method working flawlessly... root at last!! :)

Users with the 1.1.A.0.8 can use this method, easy and fast... next step no-brick flashing :p

Thanks again for all Bin4ry and the rest. I'm quite noob with flashing, cooking, SPL and stuff, but if I can help or become a "brick-test dummy" let me know and will give you a hand! :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] :
Tried the exploit method, and it worked like a charm.

Time to remove pesky OOTB apps and do some more customization :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] :
Out of curiosity, if the fota package is a binary diff, what is being patched with it? Just wondering, because if it's the raw block device holding /system, I imagine it will be impossible to perform an official upgrade later if you've altered the file system with the exploit root method?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Bin4ry:
I'm only altering the permissions with this hack ;) not the whole file system ! So an later update still is available. you can see it on Big X10 forums. It's the same method used here.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Darkbidule:
Thanks to you too Bin4ry, I've used exploid method cause I've 1.1.A.0.8 firmware, but I know you've made a great job too ;-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] t99:
Bin4ry many people here can't understand why you is still working on root of x10 mini...

I think nobody wants to run custom ROMs with Android 2.0+

Exploid method doesn't give opportunity to flash Custom Roms on your device. You need correct working flashloader not to brick your device.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 71baker:
Who are these many people who can't understand this? Does nobody want to run custom ROMs with Android 2.0+ ? That i know for a fact is WRONG , cause atleas I do want this. And also , at present neither Exploid or Bin4rys Root enables this , yet. If any of them will , it will be Bin4rys imo.

So keep up the good work Bin4ry and anyone else working on this!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Bin4ry:
Why should i stop working?

Example: On next release exploid version won't work anymore (SE can patch it easily). So if i stop working , you are ****ed up ;)

So think twice if you want me to stop it!

Regards

Bin4ry
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Xfinity:
Please continue working Bin4ry! As you self mentioned, if SE patch the exploit we need to have a working solution how to root our devices ;).
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Darkbidule:
Oups I hope that you (bin4ry) don't believe that my "thanks" message means that I've thought you've finished your work. In a first time exploid method is a way for me to clear what I don't need on my phone, until your method comes. When I say "you've made a good work" I've forgot to precise until now. Sorry for "misunderstood/stand" and for my poor english.
