I've tried 2 images. They get to different points at the radio install then fail. Try to get another img.
[HD2 General] craigpyro:
Starting to despair a little now. Trying to get just the radio on to start with.

This radio installs up to 100% (instead of about 20%) then reads:

00018003

LEOIMG.nbh - FAIL

Radio_V2Fail

Update Terminate

UPDATE FAIL

I really am getting desperate now having spent almost all day working on this.
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Try using the supplied 2GB microSD card that came with the phone. Sometimes there are problems with using larger cards.
[HD2 General] craigpyro:
Thanks for the idea however I'm using a spare 1GB.
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Silly question, but it is an O2 original ROM (assuming that is what your phone originally had on it) you downloaded and are flashing and not an HTC stock ROM (ie 1.66 WWE)?
[HD2 General] craigpyro:
I have tried both.
[HD2 General] kabbab:
I am on the same issue here. Have read almost anything i could find to fix this. Am able to change spl through hspl2 successfully but showing the same spl 1.42 hspl in bootloader. The thing is only unable to flash radio. I can flash a custom rom with sd card but after flashing when it boot up only a white screen is showing. When i try to install a official stock rom it shows that the radio v2 not installed successfully. So its probably radio problem. Hope some one could help us fix this. I tried installing a radio with the sd card and still gets the radio v2 fail. Tried installing custom rom and radio with the usb but doest go beyond 0% and error shown in the pc. HELP HELP HELP:( :( :confused: :confused:
[HD2 General] Laurentius26:
With the steps I describe here I was able to recover the device.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=668347

But only if you follow the exact steps!

I tried many stock roms first and all were stuck on the radio.

Only the method I describe worked for me.

Good luck.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
for you guys across the pond, don't you have to flash a .51 radio, not a .50 that you were using for the custom ROMs?
[HD2 General] Laurentius26:
Another thing just came in my mind and if I'm reading thrue your post you didn't mention anywhere.

If you like to recover SPL by flashing a leoimg.nbh from sd card keep in mind that you need a stock rom in the language your device

came in the first place when you bought otherwise it won't work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plmiller0905:
Can someone please tell me how to get rid of these duplicate entries in my contacts?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistersquirrle:
Duplicate contacts? Is it just Gmail contacts, or are you seeing like Facebook contacts with that? One thing you can do is delete the duplicates from your phone or inside Gmail, or you can "Link" two contacts together, and info will merge, and only show one contact (on HTCs contacts list, at least).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisSmithWebGuy:
I have experienced the same thing before; I suggest you can try using duplicate remover like Scrubly Duplicate Remover. This works well for me. I assure you this will end up you’re duplication’s problem.
[Vibrant General] aenima4six2:
Anyone successfully replaced the stock launcher yet (w/ ADW, Launcher Pro)?
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Dude, read the sticky. This thread is sad.
[Vibrant General] Jdom58:
Yes please search, it's been talked about in great detail :rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] aenima4six2:
Maybe I should have explained myself better... As I have been running LauncherPro Plus since I got the phone. Has anyone successfully REMOVED the stock TW Launcher ( I don't not want it running in the background eating memory) with an aftermarket launcher?

I did search and I didn't find shiz on this.. nor did I see a sticky in Dev or Q&A regarding the removal and replacement of a stock launcher.

If I'm overtly blind and did not see the obvious, I apologize in advance..
[Vibrant General] rsfaze:
from what I know and have read Touchwiz is built over the android source code so it could be removed technically, but who is going to take under such a task when there are parties working to bring 2.2 source with some tweaks.

I'm sure it could be done but there are too many bright things in the near future of this device for anyone to take on such a task.

I could be wrong but this is my understanding on this device.
[Vibrant General] aenima4six2:
Well.. I don't really want to remove "TouchWiz".. Just the twLauncher application.

I would just prefer to avoid having 2 launchers running at all times.
[Vibrant General] aenima4six2:
Before you nail me to the cross, please READ my question. I didn't ask if I could use or install another launcher. I asked if I could REPLACE the launcher, as in remove the TW Launcher in place of another.
[Vibrant General] iceshinobi:
Well next time explain if you don't want to get scold
[Vibrant General] aenima4six2:
Ok.. but was pretty simple question in plain English. I didn't know there was anything utterly complex about the word replace.

Maybe it would be just as easy not to "ASSUME"... I'm an idiot..

re·place

/rɪˈpleɪs/ Show Spelled[ri-pleys] Show IPA

–verb (used with object), -placed, -plac·ing.

1.

3.

4.

[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
yeah you're not helping your cause...
[Vibrant General] iceshinobi:
Umm.. Wouldn't Launcher Pro

"1.

to assume the former role, position, or function of; substitute for (a person or thing)"
[Vibrant General] aenima4six2:
Look, I'm not trying to start crap, but it was a valid question that was not answered correctly because someone assumed that I was asking if I could use "another" launcher rather then "replace" the stock launcher.

All I'm saying is, lets not be so harsh in our initial responses.

All is good, I'm not mad, lets all just be friends :)
[Vibrant General] aenima4six2:
No, because the other launcher would still exist, and serve its former role.. If I "replaced" your job, you would not have it anymore, and you would likely no longer get paid. If I replaced the stock launcher, it would not function or act as a launcher anymore, and I would thus not want it to consume the memory it was originally allocated.

This is getting silly now.. I honestly don't care that much to bicker anymore. Lets just be friends and talk crap about all the iKiddies instead, sound good?
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
Stop giving op a hard time... he clarified what he means now lay off. Its a good question and I've not seen answered either and I'm here all day.... using over yes, but replaced no I haven't read anything...

Great thread op...
[Vibrant General] aenima4six2:
Thanks man! I just hope we can learn how do this.. I like to "micro manage" my memory lol
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Now that you've made it clear:

Check running services under applications. Touch wiz is not running. Check battery use, tw is not there.

Once you load a custom rom it will be moot anyway
[Vibrant General] beren28:
Aha!

So it has been REPLACED. Not deleted, but replaced.

After all, if you replace me at my job, I am no longer working, but I don't die and get buried. I still exist, I'm just not working at that job.
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
You posted this in that other thread... lmaoooo looked retarded. Sorry had to....
[Vibrant General] beren28:
I hit quote on this thread and it somehow posted to the other. No idea how that happened.
[Vibrant General] XfooYen:
OP,

My understanding is that once you set another launcher as default, TW home does not load into memory. The only advantage to physically replacing the apk would be that it would then be running from the system allocated partition and may load faster at boot. I really don't think there's a noticeable difference. I'm no pro, tho. That's just my half educated guess.
[Vibrant General] aenima4six2:
Agreed.. But in the mean time, before anything is available, i wanted to be as efficient as i could. Glad this question finally got laid to rest...

Way to make a sad thread happy ;-)
[Vibrant General] aenima4six2:
Yeah but we still gotta pay unemployment on your ass :P
[Vibrant General] aenima4six2:
I see. This is what I was hoping for. In the G1/Dream world (Pre Android 2.1), the stock launcher would run in the background eating what little precious memory I had left.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Cool, glad I could help since I may have been the source of flaming.
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
Just installed launcher pro. Seems pretty nice/quick. Can someone tell me what the little man shaped button is for? It says "App is not installed on your phone" when I push it.
[Vibrant General] AndroidZ28:
Contacts? Just place another shortcut for contacts there and use that icon if you want it.

LP is probably looking for the stock contacts app
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
Thanks. Now that I've messed with this a bit I see how you can add more shortcuts ect. I really can't believe how much quicker this phone is now. Pretty awesome app.
[Vibrant General] air2k57:
It doesn't run in the background. Look at taskiller, TWlauncher isn't even started when alternate launcher is running. Also, if you go and clear defaults, it takes few seconds for TWLauncher to load, means that it DOESN't run in memory.

[HTC Aria General] tomlogan1:
In the Windows Mobile world, you could edit the database to add cities and with a few registry changes, have the weather update more frequently or less frequently depending upon your preference.

I've looked at the settings.db and it looks like that is where you might be able to hard code a change in the update time, but am unclear on which database or even where to find the database containing the locations.

Any ideas?:confused:

Thanks.
[HTC Aria General] Shad0wguy:
You should be able to change the update times in accounts & sync, right?
[HTC Aria General] tomlogan1:
If you use the stock inputs, yes. The minimum is 1 hour. The cities database is not comprehensive enough. The former Windows Mobile databases could be edited quite easily with sqliteadmin.
[HTC Aria General] struff:
I would also like to know how to add cities. The current list has nothing that I had in my Fuze.

[Captivate General] ptc62:
Being an iPhone convert one of the features/shortcuts I was really fond of was the ability to press the "home" button twice to be able to control the media player even if the phone was locked... Does anyone know is something similar exists for this phone?
[Captivate General] focalguy:
It's probably not exactly the same but the built-in music player works pretty well. If the screen is locked, you just press the power button to bring up the lock screen and you can slide down the disc icon at the top and control the playback without unlocking the device.
[Captivate General] ptc62:
I am unable to drag anything while the screen is locked.... I do require an unlock pattern so maybe this differs than the original lock screen?
[Captivate General] gtg465x:
Start playing some music and then try it.
[Captivate General] AJerman:
What he said.

When you are playing music in the background, you have media controls in two other places. The first is the notification drawer if you have the phone unlocked and are doing something with it, and the second is on the lock screen, in the form of what looks like a half CD hanging out from the top that you can pull down and get media controls on.
[Captivate General] vafifty4:
If you have an unlock pattern, you lose the ability to use the stock music player controls on the lock screen, as well as the puzzle piece slide. I ran into this problem before as well and eventually went back to not having an unlock pattern.
[Nexus One Android Development] mrcrassic:
When I installed Froyo on my N1, I found that streaming quality over Pandora suffered tremendously; low-quality was unbearable, and high-quality sounded worse than low-quality normally does. The change to StageFright from OpenCore is to blame here, while it improves HTTP streaming, it's AAC decoder doesn't decode LC-AAC streams properly.

To disable it temporarily, use

adb setprop media.stagefright.enable-player false

and restart any applications actively playing anything. To disable it permanently, pull build.prop from /system and change the value there. When you restart, it should be disabled; use adb getprop to verify.

Of course, the phone needs to be rooted for this to happen, as r/w access to /system is required.
[Nexus One Android Development] propain4444:
THANK YOU!!!

I was so completely frustrated by this, as my phone is my primary source of music in my car via Rhapsody, that i had just rolled back to 2.1 yesterday.

I just verified your 'fix' and my sound is now perfect again!

Side note to everyone out there, setprop is a shell command, so you actual command to set the property is:

adb shell setprop media.stagefright.enable-player false

But there's no reason you shouldn't change the property in your build.prop file if you listen to streaming music regularly.

Again, THANK YOU for this fix!!

One other side note: this change also appears to fix the bluetooth "skipping" issue that appeared in 2.2 as well.
[Nexus One Android Development] Mikey:
HUGE difference for the better :D

Thank you
[Nexus One Android Development] Chopes:
Thanks for the info man :)

Just curious though, does anyone know the cause of why this is? Maybe a different decoder would have more success?
[Nexus One Android Development] homealonedude:
Thanks, sounds much better.

Now I have to remember to change my build.prop nearly everyday when I flash a new rom.
[Nexus One Android Development] PeRRiiN:
I'm rooted and pulled the build.prop file, but what program do I need to open the build.prop file and edit it?
[Nexus One Android Development] Manacit:
any text editor, notepad included, will work
[Nexus One Android Development] PeRRiiN:
Thank you, I'll try it out.
[Nexus One Android Development] gofizzle:
Thanks so much for the fix. Now I can listen to my tunes without some of the lyrics sounding like a Chimpmunks sing-a-long! :D
[Nexus One Android Development] venelar:
Thanks for this! Having some trouble pulling it off though :( I'm new to android.

I have root/unlocked, and have successfully used the adb pull command to pull the build.prop file. I've got the file edited, but cannot seem to get it to push back to the device.

Here is my problem if anyone would be willing to point me to the correct method.
[Nexus One Android Development] PeRRiiN:
I believe you have to type this command before you push it

adb remount
[Nexus One Android Development] stuff:
I used pandora all day today, and I never heard anything wrong with it. :S
[Nexus One Android Development] stealthopts17:
I can confirm that this works! Thanks!

I think it would be a good idea to include these instructions in the OP for those who don't know the commands.

Here's what I did. For those following these steps, the file locations on your computer may be slightly different.

On Windows:

1. Open Command Prompt

2. Type cd [location of tools folder in android sdk] Example cd C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Nexus One\android-sdk-windows\tools

3. Type adb pull /system/build.prop c:\build.prop [This will place build.prop in your C Drive]

4. Using any text editor, open the file, make the necessary changes, then save.

5. Type adb remount

6. Type adb push c:\build.prop /system/build.prop

7. Type adb reboot

8. To verify that it is disabled, type adb shell getprop

After a few scrolls, you will see the following:

[media.stagefright.enable-player]: [false]

This means that everything was done correctly.

I'm pretty n00bish at this stuff. If something doesn't look right, let me know.

Thanks again for the fix!
[Nexus One Android Development] craigacgomez:
Which ROM are you using? And which boot image are you using. Just root access is not enough. The ro.secure value in default.prop should be set to 0 (zero) to allow remount with read-write permissions. Check the value of ro.secure in /default.prop. If it is 1 (one), you need to flash a new boot.img which has the value set as 0 (zero)
[Nexus One Android Development] mixer5911:
awesome! although i have to say i don't really see (hear) a difference using pandora on cm6rc2
[Nexus One Android Development] stealthopts17:
i've tried every froyo rom available, and sound quality in my car was horrible on all of them. this fix definitely makes listening to pandora enjoyable again.

Those with Unrooted EVOs:

Sprint/HTC's OTA update, 3.29.651.5 released the last week of September, fixes the AAC streaming problem. (Remember the issue was Google's Android Froyo 2.2. Google acknowledged and fixed this, however it is up to each carrier-manufacturer to incorporate-and-release the Google fix).

Pandora and other streaming media & players produced exceedingly poor sound with AACs (not Pandora's fault, nor Sprint's, nor HTC's).

HTC/Sprint Release 3.29.651.5 mentions NOTHING about including this fix (so I haven't tried pandora or other streaming apps for weeks).

Noting a 2 week old post in Android Forums, i tried Pandora again, and it is AWESOME. sorry, newbie so I can't post the link...don't trust me. just try it if you haven't

It was already fixed (nice job Google/Sprint/HTC), and I didn't know it (horrible marketing: Sprint/HTC).

I LOVE MY EVO (again).
[Nexus One Android Development] noons:
Anyone else notice a bug regression with this? I had signed up for slacker about a month ago and its been great, but I recently updated my rom for my evo to Caulkins latest 1.7.6 which includes a newer OTA and whatnot, however my sound quality has significantly decreased. Might give this fix a try for now see if that makes a difference.

[Nexus One Android Development] beagz:
I found that it reduces benchmark performance. So this seems to disable some type of media acceleration built into the system. Really don't care I prefer quality anyway. Haven't noticed any problems caused by it.

Yes, I just copied the build.prop file and then edited it. I then copied back to the system folder.

A couple of extra steps but very doable.

[Nexus One Android Development] mempf:
I've found with stagefright disabled the new mobile youtube page no longer serves "compatible" videos.
[Nexus One Android Development] mrcrassic:
Not sure if this was mentioned, but it's because AAC decoding doesn't work for files that are HE-AAC encoded. Others who experienced the issue said that AAC files fail to play at all on any media player, though I primarily use MP3s.
[Nexus One Android Development] mrcrassic:
Can you not change it temporarily using setprop?
[Nexus One Android Development] mrcrassic:
YouTube works for me...
[Nexus One Android Development] mempf:
Youtube app or m.youtube.com?
[Nexus One Android Development] drPheta:
you're right. I can't play videos through m.youtube.com. However, the app works fine.

EDIT: reverted build.prop back to stock config, and noticed the two issues with setting the build.prop to false for the AAC codec.

1. Quadrant benchmark definitely suffers from this change (as mentioned aboved)

2. m.youtube.com will not play videos.

But HOT DAMN the streaming audio sounds so hollow without the fix. :(
