HTC Sync not recognizing phone

I was having the same problem with 2 Evos. The phone would accept a charge from the USB port and the computer would even install the driver sometimes. Then nothing. I tried again last night after I pulled the 2.2 update and it worked! I think HTC might not have had Windows 7 Starter edition covered until this update.

Here's the thing, I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I'm having this problem on 2 EVOs, also. I've updated them both to stock 2.2 OTA, and still nothing. =/

HUGE improvement over the 2.1 version.

Why in this day and age would you NOT give your flagship phone a multitouch keyboard?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] oxeneers:
I've been using HTC_IME_mod for days now and didn't realize 2.2 stock kb was multitouch.. thanks for the heads up.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Shyfe:
I thought it was.. what exactly qualifies multitouch?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jaypeezee:
Hold down one key, while pressing on another - if the second key registers while you're holding down the first key THAT's Multitouch.

i.e. Press and Hold "A", while holding press "S" quickly. Your screen should read AS

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] h4jj1:
Hi, it is different. Cyanogen uses the AOSP (Android Open Source Project) as a source and in turn does not convert proprietary software like HTC's Sense and associated keyboard. You are using the stock froyo keyboard. The HTC keyboard imho is the best for the platform currently.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] h4jj1:
Same result here - installation failed on CM6 RC1. The HTC_IME mod (hires v27)keyboard does work though (the 2.1 version ported and modded). I even attempted to use the Clicker.apk from HTC_IME mod package and then install this to no avail.

Can anybody confirm that this works/doesn't work with the CM6 nightlies?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Shyfe:
I just tested it based on the criteria he described and it is multitouch.

You have to have a custom recovery, like Clockwork or Amon_RA, to flash the update, which is done through rooting. I am pretty sure you could just adb push though if you know how.

Copy Paste It! I'm testing out the trial version right now. Will report back with results.

Update: Ok, it works using image recognition technology, so it may not be perfectly accurate. They did say it would become more accurate over time, however. You can either select the copy option from the notification bar or shake your device to bring up the menu. Then you simply drag the box over what you want to copy and it will copy! You can even copy things off your homescreen or text in images. I'd only like a way to bring it up via a long-press. Otherwise I just can't justify spending $4 on it. I don't want to be waving my EVO around every time I want to copy some text.

Are you guys talking about Adobe Flash or using the light on the back of the X10 as a flashlight?? BIG DIFFERENCE

-If Flash, then what the above post has stated, 2.2 has built in support and 2.1 you can install it.

-If you want to have a widget that turns the photo light on your phone on to use as a flashlight, check out a widget called XPERIA FlashLight. I've been using it on my X10 since May and it works great!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] benjymous:
I meant the former. I know Full Flash 10 isn't available until we get 2.1 or 2.1, and that the HTC version of "Flash Lite" (a cut down flash player) seems to be tied into the Sense ROM, but there seem to be other phones (such as the Devour I mentioned in the first post) that apparently launched with 1.6 and had a version of flash lite on them too.

http://www.phones.com/phones/motorola/devour/review/ (Mentions the phone is 1.6 but has flash lite support)

I guess it only really matters if the promised 2.1 update never actually happens...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicwaz:
Hi Everyone,

I would be very grateful for a little help.

I have an Orange UK branded desire. Like everyone else the Orange branding really annoyed me so I have followed the guide to create a goldcard and have rooted and flashed a stock HTC rom. (so I'm currently using 1.15.405.4)

This is as far as I got before I left it.

So, am I right in thinking that to now get a rooted version of FroYo onto my desire all I need to do is;

1. Update the radio to the latest one, which will lock me out of my phone regardless of what network I'm on

2. Purchase an unlock code to get me back into my phone.

3. Use an application like ROM Manager to flash a FroYo rom onto my phone. (will I need to use my goldcard if I used ROM Manager?)

Is there anything else I should be aware of? I have been reading around and it seems fairly straight forward but I believe there are some issues with de-branded Orange phones.

Apologies if this has already been covered in another thread, but I'm really new to all this and to say I'm a little worried that I'm going to brick my desire is a major understatement!

Thanks again for any help!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamLC:
Yep you pretty much have it spot on! Although it sounds like you haven't rooted yet. You will need to do this in order to flash a rooted ROM!

You can use Unrevoked 3 to root your phone, really easy with a couple of clicks.

Although I have personally used an unlock code my friend with an Orange Branded desire didn't get locked out when he used the latest radio, so looks like you may be in luck! Probably worth trying before you purchase a code :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satnile:
Hello there,

I am not sure that debranding was necessary, you could have rooted the phone using unrevoked, then just flash a rooted official froyo. And if you had unlocked your phone first, then you could have also flahed the latest radio rom.

I would say unlock your phone first, root it, then flash the latest radio, then flash a rooted froyo rom of your choice.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicwaz:
Thanks for the really fast responses.

I thought I had already rooted it? How would I tell if its rooted? I've already installed the ROM Manager app and Titanium Backup which say that they need root to work. Titanium Backup also says "Root access=> OK (BusyBox 1.16.0 from app)"
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnibravo:
your defo rooted if the app says that

Strange people should say your not rooted, you can get rooted stock roms after all thats what I did. I'm on tmo and I flashed back the same firmware before flashing froyo no sim lock when I finally got to froyo cause I had trouble flashing recovery.

I have read some stuff on orange sim locking, try looking at the unlockr wbsit I think there is a tutorial there that mentions what to do when this happens.

Best thing to do tho is go to the Macardo android website (hxxp://android.modaco.com) they are really helpful there you'll get instant replies worth listening too, anyone worth listening too on here is far too busy

Thanks again!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ademarizu:
But you just forgot to mention which method you've used. :p
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicwaz:
That would probably help!

I had already followed the instructions on how to root a branded desire and install a stock htc rom that is posted on these forums.

This left me with a rooted, debranded desire. I lost all my contacts in the process, but thankfully I had synchronised it with HTC Sync a little while ago, so I was able to retrieve my contacts from that. Also having the desire set to automatically back-up things in its own settings, helped get back my text messages and saved wifi/bluetooth connections.

I then found the ROM I wanted to install. I just wanted the stock FroYo ROM. I picked one that was already rooted and did not update the hboot as I read there were issues if it did update it.

I followed instructions, also on these forums, on how to install the latest radio. I wasn't sure if I should have done this with my goldcard in the phone, but I used it anyway! That went fine and I was also not sim locked out, which saved me some money.

I copied the FroYo ROM I wanted onto my normal micro-SD card (not my goldcard), then used ROM Manager (downloadable via marketplace) to install the ROM. I was expecting it to take some time to install (10min+), but its pretty quick. The phone took a bit longer to boot up after the update.

Thankfully everything went well and I didn't even lose anything on the phone! Nothing was affected. I had all my apps, contacts, settings, background, ringtones, widgets etc... all set as normal. I was expecting them to be all wiped so I had backed up everything using Titanium Backup.

I hope that helps anyone who is about to void their warranty!:)

Any questions, just ask and I'll do my best to answer them. I'm definitely no expert, so all I can really talk about is what I did. I'm sure people will say there was an easier way to do it, but this is how I understood the process from the many guides out there.
[Droid Incredible General] wifiguru:
Hey all,

I have had a question for a while, and can't find anything via search.

Is there a hack to make the signal level/bar icon have 5 or 6 bars instead of 4?

It is more of a sense of mind, but when you get to -95db+, your bars go down to 1 or 0, and for me -- that tells me that im not able to make a call.

It would be nice to have a more accurate reading, so when I get to -95 I can have 2 bars or something of that nature.

I'm sure some others agree with me -- the EVO has it.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible General] bahnburner:
The evo only has 4 bars. I know that because I'm running the signal icons and status bar from the evo's dump.

[Droid Incredible General] adrynalyne:

[Droid Incredible General] adrynalyne:
What ROM would you want more bars on?
[Droid Incredible General] wifiguru:
General forum? Isn't this considered development?

I am using the leaked 2.2 rom right now (not the 8/1/2010 one)

I wish there could be a simple patch for it, install any rom you want, then apply the patch and be good to go.

There's a 3rd party software out there, but it doesnt replace the original "graphic", it just sits on the top left...which is sort of lame.
[Droid Incredible General] adrynalyne:
