Wait. We have multi-touch keyboard? Maybe I'm confused, but doesn't multitouch mean you can have more than one finger on the screen at a time and it should register?

I think I need a clarification on multitouch for Android. Because I definitely can't hold down one letter on the keyboard and hit another with another finger.

And I totally agree about Sense, I'm over it, Please HTC! let us switch to AOSP if we want. Froyo is nice though, much nicer than eclair. Go Android!

5 stars, I can turn off safe search for the youtube app. :D
[EVO 4G General] P_Dub_S:
I voted 3 Since there are some things that are still not working properly on HTC's ROM. Bluetooth compatibility is crap compared to CM6. Horrible scrolling speed/screen tearing in the app drawer and battery life seems to be worse than 2.1 at least for me.

I finally got my phone back last night after the Froyo update on my de-branded desire went wrong as I didnt put a gold card in.

Question is.... can I leave my memory card as a gold card or should I format it for general use?
[Desire General] doinbox:
If you have another memory card then yes keep your gold card safe.
[Desire General] Joshhudsy:
Can you take the gold card out and then put your general one back in after updates?

[Desire General] steve228uk:
I'm actually using my goldcard for storage as well, though I suspect that's not such a good idea.
[Desire General] bobsie41:
I don't understand the technicalities of this but i have replaced my goldcard with my original sd card and everything is fine after froyo update and have also implemented the Greencode 'apps to sd by default' whilst my original card was in my desire and that works fine too!
[Desire General] Geeba:
The problem I have is I left my 4Gb card somewhere in the house... and I think my toddler may of got his hands on it... I cant find it anywhere!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
you can try to push them with adb shell.

adb push /pc/directory/apkfilename.apk /system/app

and then reboot.

Or you can open the zip file, add/remove the ones that you want, sign the zip file and flash away.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suncityrk:
Yes I agree with this but some apks are dependent of some other apks so really unsure what apks I can remove safely as keeping only apks which I want will not help I will hve to keep dependents also and I'm unsure. I found dream works very fast if gapps r not loaded so looking fine tune n remove non required gapps!
[EVO 4G General] lenglain:
i updated and of course, all internet browsers close as soon as a start using them. They open, let me go to a website or two, then close. I was super eager to test the full flash but i can barely get to the websites themselves without the browser closing suddenly. I updated the firmware, profile, prl, and everything. the phone was never rooted.

I'm about to do a hard reset but I figured i should check what you guys had to say first.
[EVO 4G General] superlinkx:
Hard reset is the only thing that has helped so far. Just do it, it will make the system work better anyway.
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
Will a hard reset effect firmware/froyo.
[EVO 4G General] djmadclass:
I had the same issues with the camera. Reset all folders permission to read and write.
[EVO 4G General] scalivurpr:
sorry for my ignorance but how I can do a hard reset? and it will fix the problem?
[EVO 4G General] superlinkx:
No, a hard reset basically wipes your data and cache(?) partitions. All apps and data are deleted. This will return you to just your normal firmware, without any customizations. Then you can reinstall apps. I think that's the main problem, some apps aren't dealing with the upgrade too well, and as a result, you get some weird errors. It won't change any versions of your software though.
[EVO 4G General] nicko786:
I'm having the same problem.. If we move the apps to the SD card we shouldn't have to reinstall them, correct? And if we re-install apps, does the settings/info saved on them return or would we have to change those as well? I'm getting ready to do a hard reset too and I spent alot of time with these apps and I was worried about losing info/settings..

Also, I'm using Launcher Pro, will it revert back to Sense after the Hard Reset?
[EVO 4G General] redrazr7791:
Search "how to hard reset the HTC EVO". It can either be done through the settings menu or you can physically do it using the power and volume rocker.
[EVO 4G General] mjz147:
My dad was having similar issues. And said that going into settings while in the browser and changing enable plugins from "always on" to "on demand" helps

Also the person using launcher pro go into the launcher pro settings or preferabces and all the way on the bottom you can backup your settings/homescreen.
[EVO 4G General] mjz147:
It will return back to sense. It will be like a brand new phone. Before you hard reset backup your launcher pro settings and homescreen. Hard reset if my internet fix didn't work. Reinstall all apps and launcherpro and then restore launcher pro settings and homescreens.
[EVO 4G General] i-l-l:
Is hard reset the only way to fix this?
[EVO 4G General] cj10488:
No you can remove Adobe flash and reinstall it.. worked flawless for myself.

James
[EVO 4G General] nicko786:
I hate to ask this sounding like a noob, but I'm at work and can't do much research, but what would be the best way to backup all those files? Just with the USB drive or is there a backup app I can download, etc.

Nevermind, I figured out how to backup Launcher Pro, but how about apps still?
[EVO 4G General] i-l-l:
and how does one obtain Flash 10.1? It's not in the market
[EVO 4G General] theoner1:
It should still be in the market, got it earlier for latest CM Nightly.
[EVO 4G General] nicko786:
Yeah I don't see it either. I found Flash 10.1 beta on Appbrain, but it won't sync with my phone. I uninstalled and removed flash and my browser is still crashing.
[EVO 4G General] cj10488:
Here is the APK. I had to uninstall it using titanium backup. was easier than going the ADB rm way

James
[EVO 4G General] aauslund:
I had the same problem. Some are saying it's because of installing the half ass full flash version on 2.1 that came out a month ago.

I downloaded and reinstalled the apk and then it worked...for about 6 hours and then the browser starting crashing again.

The next time i uninstalled and then installed the flash 10.1 again, so far, so good.
[EVO 4G General] nicko786:
When I get home I'm gonna try that and hope it works before I do a hard reset.
[EVO 4G General] lenglain:
Nothing worked so I finally decided on the hard reset. I think one should do it anyway to get the best out of the update. Everything works fine now, glad to see that it remembers the apps I had already paid for. The whole thing seems to run smoother than ever, (I hated the baggy scrolling.) Southparkstudios works now, the entire video section of the new York times works now as well. Embedded YouTube videos work on Facebook they play without me having to leave the page/browser.

****ONE ISSUE***

Text fields act strange. I can't type status updates into the full Facebook site anymore, nothing happens when I tap the text field. That blows big time I hate using the Facebook apps I want the full site to work fully.

Similarly, I was never able to type into the text fields on the gmail full site. Now I can a little bit although Tue browser seems uber confused about whether it wants to deal with the text field or not. Any ideas why text fields (

Rich text fields) are such an issue?

I was hoping that yahoo games would work, especially yahoo pool but still no go.
[EVO 4G General] nicko786:
Thanks for apk, cj, but browser still crashes so I'm ready for the hard reset. How should I backup my apps and settings? I backed up Launcher Pro already but I don't want to lose my Handcent settings, etc.
[EVO 4G General] blakejohnson86:
Let's fix this problem once and for all, _without_ a factory reset!

Just run this...

$adb shell rm -R /data/data/com.htc.flashliteplugin /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer

All I have it set to do is remove the old Flash configurations. It fixed my issues, so I'm sure it will fix yours.
[EVO 4G General] sling:
hmm odd stuff.

In browser settings there is a setting 'Browser windows on windows' < I think that's what it was called.

Anyway I enabled and crash stopped but here's the catch, When I went back into settings I cant find that setting to disable it.

:confused:

UPDATE

So much for that, crash has kicked back in even with plugin off
[EVO 4G General] Pierceye:
I did notice a little trouble with Skyfire after the update. It seemed to want to treat each section of the website as a separate load. Each section loaded fast but it still seemed to take longer overall.
[EVO 4G General] nicko786:
So what exactly do we do with this? Do we copy and paste that into the root somehow? I'm a bit confused what to do with this code... I feel so lame lol.
[EVO 4G General] blakejohnson86:
Windows: Run it from your ADB 'tools' directory via the command line.

Linux / Mac: Run it from your ADB 'tools' directory via terminal.
[EVO 4G General] DoctorComrade:
Weird. I'm not getting any problems with the new update. In fact, I've been running items off of Newgrounds all day and even browsed 2adavanced's website, which is a very intense flash site. Wonder why?
[EVO 4G General] sling:
Best site to test flash on is surfline.com.

load it up a few times...pinch zooms nav around page.
[EVO 4G General] t00dumb:
if you previously downloaded flash 10.1 for your android 2.1 and then updated to 2.2 it will cause your browser your crash. the ideal step is to uninstall flash 10.1 first from 2.1 and then update your evo to 2.2

if you're already on 2.2, you cannot uninstall the flash 10.1, it will not let you. the only way is to do a hard reset. you will not need to search for flash 10.1 as it is already provided in the android 2.2 updated.

hope this helps :)
[EVO 4G General] nicko786:
Yup, t00dumb, sounds exactly right. I did the hard reset anyways yesterday and I got it up and running now. No crashes, faster speed, and I backed up all my apps and widgets (lost the settings, meh) so I'm happy and enjoying the full benefit of Froyo now. Accidentally forgot to back up my contacts though lol... Thanks everyone for their help.

After several hours wasted googling for an answer I'll have to ask....

... is there a mod which adds an RSS tab to HTC Sense? My lack of success in finding one is driving me insane!
[HD2 General] meltwater:
No there isn't.

Well not yet... :D

But then there wasn't a facebook tab either.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
isn't there some sort of widget for certain versions of manila which will give you an rss option on the home screen, similar to the calendar bar.......
[HD2 General] xavierdemon:
It's included on the later manilla versions but rumours are that the legend that is Cookie may be putting it into the next CHT release :).

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F3L1X1:
Ok so, this is my first android phone and after being prompted to install the 2.2 update on my European htc desire, i downloaded and started it installing. It gets to about 23% and says process system unavailible and after reading what people said i cleared the phone and tried to install the update manually from the SD card. This didn't work

My phone currently does this

Will boot into what it says is 2.2 but with no wifi, no service, and no SD card showing up

then after about 5 minutes it will reboot.

I have no idea what i can do to fix this? could someone please help me, i'm a noob with android so a clear step by step would be much appreciated

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dedlite:
Do you have a WIFI connection? I do, and did the OTA 2.2 upgrade over WiFi with no problems, on my Unbranded European HTC Desire.

If youre phone won't boot properly, there are a few answers; 1) Return in to HTC, they're getit working and back to you, 2) Return it to th place of purchase, 3) Root/reflash (but sounds like it might not be an option).

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameson_uk:
It sounds like you are alll applying an OTA update for the standard ROM to what was a branded device. There are lots of explanations as to how to fix this if this is the case

In summary

Download update from mentioned here

Copy this to root of your goldcard and rename to update.zip

Turn off phone

Turn on holding down vol down

Select Bootloader then Recovery (an image of device should appear with exclamation mark over)

In menu (sorry forgot how you get in, if it does not appear then try power+vol down or power + back). From there choose apply update.zip

Wait while update applied

After update select reboot and wait for device to boot

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chessmaster82:
I've just tried this again, installation looked like it went through ok, rebooted and relaoded into sense, then it shows me a status bar counting, normally this gets to about 10% then says ?Sorry process system is not responing, so i can either click wait or force close, then in continues upto about 97% then reboots and reloads only to load a white screen showing htc and continues counting in percentages, gets to about 15% then says force close, then onto about 91% then reboots this goes on for a while until it just shows me a sorta bricked phone with no wifi, gsm or any real functionailty and it continues to reboot every 5 mins, back to where I started showing 2.2 as installed

One strange thing I have noticed is that my CID is

CID: 00000000000000000049E917D100A69E

Can't find update.zip on SD card during recovery

Tried all this, thanks. Goldcard created using Gold Card Tool 0.0.5 (awesome job Klutsh) . I get the error message:

"E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)" even though it is in the root dir when I look at the card on my PC.

Should it be in a directory called /sdcard ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F3L1X1:
i get this same problem. How do i create a gold card if when i plug in my phone to my pc it won't recognise it and when i put the SD in the phone the bricked 2.2 won't recognise it :confused::confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bearMedicine:
I had to format the card in a card reader in my PC, then use the Gold Card Creator mentioned elsewhere in the thread. You have to install HTC Sync because enough drivers are in there to at least allow the apps to 'see' the card at physical level, even if the bricked Android doesn't. Set the phone to USB debug mode in Settings/Applications - the phone stays 'on' long enough between reboots to do that and get a CID out of it! Then Gold Card Creator works well enough to get the CID from the SD.

I'm trying this again with a 2GB card to see if makes any difference.

What is the different about a cooked rom and a simple rom?!?!

[HD2 General] konvict550:
And what is WWE and PTG ROM?!
[HD2 General] fred_up:
There are 3 main types of ROM:

HTC ROM - as though you have bought an unbranded phone (no T-Mobile, Vodofone, etc stuff on it).

Operator ROM - this is the above ROM with additional software added on by the mobile phone operators (ie T-mobile Web'n'walk). These versions tend to come out a few months later than the HTC ROM with a slightly higher version number.

Custom ROM - this is when the real experts get the ROM and rebuild it, adding in updates and removing stuff that is not really required. The golden rule is not to ask which one is best. They build the ROM to get from it what they think is best, and since everybody has different tastes you just have to try them out.

There is also another ROM called the RADIO ROM, this controls all communication (phone, wifi, bluetooth, FM radio). The Custom ROMs don't have RADIO ROMs built in to them, but they do recommend which one works best with them.

WWE - World Wide English.

Go to the ROM info for beginners - please read it completely before doing anything.
[HD2 General] konvict550:
:O thanks for the info bro :D
[HD2 General] konvict550:
bro,my rom is 1.48........ what spl i should use?!!?!! and i need Storage card?!?!?
[HD2 General] p107r0:
flashing new ROM erases all data from your device,

if there's anything you'd rather not lose (apps, contacts, SMSes etc.), look for a backup solution first, sth like PIM backup, SPB backup, sprite backup etc.

there's lots of info on those here on xda

PS. unsolicited advice: before exploring custom ROM territories, stick to custom ROM for a while and get to know your device first

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedweed:
I used to have the iphone 3gs, but now i have a Samsung Galaxy with Android 2.1.

I had a great program called Air Video, it was so great, i almost chose not to upgrade to android cause it wasnt on the Andriod platform.

You installed a client on the phone, and a transcode server software on your pc, and then the magic began, you could stream any kind of video format straight from your PC to your phone in realtime. It supported mkv, divx and a whole lot of other formats. I could even stream video from my satelite tuner straight to my phone with this software. It was totaly mindblowing, and it worked both on 3g and over wifi, you just adjusted the quality of the stream in the client program on the phone. I could lay in bed, and watch my whole video archive straight from my pc on my phone, i could watch it from work and anywhere with 3g coverage.

The great thing about this program, was that everything was on the fly, and went automaticly, you didnt have to convert EVERY video file to mp4 (or simular) before you started streaming.

Now im wondering, is there a good alternative(program or guide), that will work the same way on android phones?

PS Ive tried Orb, and it couldnt realy compete, at all :eek:
