Just a quick question. I bought the Hong Kong 2700MAH battery with the back and it is better than my stock battery. But now I want more.

Since I already have a back for an extended battery if I get the 3500mah Siedio battery for the HTC Droid Eris will that work with my EVO? I know the Incredible and the Eris share the same battery. So in theory the Eris should work with the EVO correct?

Thanks!

Hello All, I have the HTC Messaging Client v1.5.20162424.00, along with Message_Enhancement_1_2_20163924_00_huashan_0.90, and have the following issue, even when switching throughout different client versions... I believe its a registry entry I incorrectly set...

The issue is: Something is preventing me from Saving my MMS, and wont let the menu pop up that lets me to select to save.

Whenever I get an MMS, it comes through crystal clear, however the viewing screen is glitched; it allows me to drag the picture up and down and leaves a pixel trail as seen in the picture below, and where normally I would be able to click the picture and get the pop up menu to Save, Share, etc, it just pulls up the Slideshow Timer...

Does anyone know what may cause this? I have been trying for hours to find the registry entry.........

Image of glitch is attached to this post.

Goodday developers and owners of desires! :)

As there were news all over about 2.2 being released, it seems like Asia's not receiving it, anyone here have a explanation for this!?

Cause I'm actually in no hurry here, it's just too many of my desire buddies are whining about the whole process of htc not catering the update here. Hope it's soon though.

Thanks for reading :)

Could this be because i did the weird word thing wrong?

Well it just might be that they have certain security features that only allow you in once they have personally approved your registration. Until then, accessing the site through the address that it was directing you to after you hit "Agree" might have registered you as an unapproved member.

There are several ways to ban users. One of them is by IP banning, which causes anyone registering with that IP to be either automatically banned or rejected upon registration. The only bad thing about this is that you can ban a lot of innocent people by doing this, and this may have just been the case.

Right,here we go....this is what I had installed on my previously working mobile, I debranded it from Orange,and this exe caused me to have to pay for an unlock code:-

RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe

I today made the mistake of updating OTA to the Froyo OS

Now my phone is useless

It reboots every 2 minutes,theres no signal/network,no wifi,no nothing,it is FUBAR!

I've tried EVERY fix ie downgrade of HBOOT etc etc

However, my phone has remained on HBOOT 0.80 and nothing more,the rest of my phone details are as follows:

Android version 2.2

Baseband version 32.36.00.28u_4.06.00.02_2

Kernel version 2.6.29-0cb9f166 (htc-kernal@and18-2 #1

Build number 2.09.405.8 cl218634

Software number 2.09.405.8

What the hell is wrong with it? I have no insurance so I really need help!

Oh, my SD Card doesn't show up neither otherwise I'd have created a new gold card!!!! :confused:

Please help
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanTehManUK:
Debranded,,,, OTA,,,,, Mistake,,,,,,

Best bet is to grab a Goldcard of some desire or just a normal card and try rerooting from scratch, wiping everything on the phone and then starting again,

if you can get into recovery and use recovery-windows.bat you should be able to wipe it quite nicely
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stiegi:
you can try a newer baseband

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=687464

I think, I have read somewhere that Froyo requires a 5.xx.xx.xx baseband... Anyway it's worth a try!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameson_uk:
Nothing.... remember you have done things your phone is not setup to deal with. You bought a branded phone and therefore it is expecting branded updates etc. This is like buying a car, fitting a turbo-charger then complaining to the manufacturer when it stops working...

Basically,FroYo requires a 2.6.32 kernel and a 5.xxx radio.I believe that once you get those it'll work.But still,strangely enough,they should all have been updated with the OTA...Well,I do believe there is something wrong!Most probably it's what jameson_uk said.

It was my fault......my Goldcard was buggered.....have managed to flash it back to life, just need to update the radio now.....can radios be installed via RUU as the 'update.zip' thing won't work.....HTC please accept my apology,I'm a **** :o
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elburna:
A goldcard during the OTA would have solved the problem. Heres a how-to-fix-it from a swiss forum. Its german but google translate should solve that:

1.

Sucht und ladet euch das Tool: GoldCardTool-0.0.5

2.

Sichert eure persönlichen Dateien von der Speicherkarte (Kartenleser am Laptop oder Rechner) und formatiert die Speicherkarte im Rechner (Fat32)

3.

Karte ins Handy und starten. Dann das Handy an den Rechner anschließen und warten bis die tolle "System Prozess reagiert nicht" Meldung kommt. Klickt auf Warten.

4.

Nun erscheint die Abfrage, für welchen Zweck die Karte sein soll. Klickt auf "HTC Sync" und führt möglichst schnell danach das o.g. Tool aus. Klickt dazu auf "GetCID".

5.

Nicht verzagen, wenn die CID nicht gleich beim ersten mal gelesen werden kann. Bei mir hat es auch mehrere Versuche gekostet. Falls es nicht beim ersten Mal klappt, versucht es weiter bis es geht. (Punkt 3 und 4 wiederholt ausführen)

6.

Wenn ihr die CID habt, klickt auf den Link darunter und lasst euch das Goldcard image via E-Mail zuschicken.

7.

Nun packt ihr die Karte wieder in den Rechner (Tool nicht vorher schließen !!!). Der Rechner erkennt die Karte und fügt sie in das Dropdown Menu ein (ansonsten "Refresh" klicken).

8.

Klickt auf "Load GoldCard Image" und sucht die Datei, die ihr per Mail bekommen habt.

9.

Klickt nun auf "Patch MMC" und ihr habt die ersehnte GoldCard

So, danach gehts wie folgt weiter:

10. Update (wenn nicht mehr vorhanden) von folgendem Link downloaden und als update.zip auf SD-Karte kopieren:

http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_F...crut4wrv30.zip

11. Karte wieder ins Gerät

12. Handy starten mit Druck auf Volume down und Power gleichzeitig, dann:

- "Recovery" auswählen und warten bis der Bildschirm mit dem roten Dreieck kommt

- "Volume up" und Power gleichzeitig drücken

- "Install update from update.zip" wählen

Dauert ein wenig, danach kommt die Meldung das man Reboot wählen soll. Also mit Power den Punkt Reboot bestätigen.

Handy startet einige Male neu, ohne wirklich Reaktion zu zeigen (auch auftretende Install-Balken ändern sich nicht wirklich), also bitte mal mind. 10 min zeit nehmen.

If you just wiped the ext partition on your SD card from recovery all that does is wipe the partition where it stores the apps for apps2sd. You would need to format the SD card or like you did repartition it to completely wipe it.
[Vibrant General] Spartoi:
I'm looking into buying the Vibrant as my first Android device and I was comparing the pro/cons on getting it on Wirefly and from T-Mobile. So far, I can only see pros with getting the Vibrant from Wirefly so I have a few questions.

1. Is the Vibrant $99.99 instead of $199.99 because of the instant rebate or will I be charged extra later in my bill?

2. Is the $30 Unlimited Data truly unlimited, or is it capped at 5GB?

3. Should I still buy the warranty from Wirefly even though I plan to root my device?

4. I've heard that there is a way to get unlimited texts/minutes via Google Voice. If true, I have no need to get an additional text messaging and can get the minimal amount of minutes (500) available from T-Mobile. With that said, is there anything wrong with using Google Voice as my primary communication instead of T-Mobile?

5. Why are there different plans offered on Wirefly and T-Mobile?

6. Has anyone ordered their Vibrant from Wirefly and have any problems (billing, shipping, etc)?
[Vibrant General] Col.Kernel:
The Vibrant is $250 with a $50 mail in rebate to bring it to $200. I am assuming (but could be wrong) that you'll be out $150 with a $50 MIR through Wirefly.

TMo's unlimited data is just that, unlimited (within reason). If you're streaming movies from somewhere they're going to say "No, it's not really unlimited". OTOH, if you're streaming movies over HSPA you have other issues than worrying about your data bill. :D Best confine that activity to when you're on WiFi.

You will get unlimited texting with Google Voice, but not unlimited minutes.
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:
If you go through tmo and get in touch with their loyalty department, they will give you a good deal especially if you've been a customer for a while... Plus you get the warranty through them and the insurance through assurian...
[Vibrant General] Gr8gorilla:
tmobile has a soft cap on data at 5gb. What this means is that once you go over 5gb they throttle your data, they don't charge you more.
[Vibrant General] Blueman101:
the unlimited calling though google voice no longer works, you can still do txt messaging for free.
[Vibrant General] ntellegence:
I get to 10gb and I get a text saying my bandwith will be cut until next billing cycle. I have an older contract...still have Myfaves.
[Vibrant General] ntellegence:
I just checked. My data plan is $34.99! Thats why I probally get 10gb before Tmob gets mad.
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:
I did 7gigs last month... No prob from tmo... 5 last month...
[Vibrant General] subnormyle:
Not sure about Wirefly but Amazon has it for $99.99 With New Contract if you want it through someone you can trust.
[Vibrant General] Spartoi:
Does anyone have any experience with getting phones on contract from Wirefly? What was it like.

Oh, so thats it. They slow down your connection eh, well thats smarter/better than charging more imo.

Is Amazon any good? I've bought other products from them, but I've never got a phone on contract through them. Any experience with them?
[Vibrant General] pololoy23:
Go to a local frys in CA, they have it for $79.99 for new activations.
[Vibrant General] jayzusfk:
1. Wirefly requires sub-contracts that T-Mobile doesn't do. i.e. If you break contract/change plan within a set timeframe, Wirefly may charge you extra fees that T-Mobile would not (outside of the ETF). Typically it's better to go through tmo but if you don't mind the risk you MAY save some money with Wirefly/Amazon/etc.

2. The data soft cap is 10gb for everyone. The 5gb cap ONLY applies to USB data sticks. There is no surcharge for going over the 10gb.

3. Skip any warranty you have to pay for. Add insurance through tmo.

4. Only downside I can think of with depending on GV for voice/text is the reliance on data connection. If you're anywhere that has a spotty connection or roam on a different network you may be SOL.

5. Plans are the same, just worded differently.

6. I've heard of many problems with third-party dealers in general, but I'm a little biased towards the quality of corporate stores. =)
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
Wirefly is hit and miss. Usually to get said rebates you have to agree to certain standards and even then its hard to get the rebates. I work in a Tmo store and have had to fix issues made by wirefly. Plus like other people have said you will have to agree to a secondary contract with wirefly.
[Vibrant General] Spartoi:
Link? There is probably an after rebate your missing because thats a steal.

1. This does affect early upgrades as well?

3. How does this work, you just go to a T-Mobile store and ask for insurance on your device or do you call them and they do a mo/ charge? How much?

5. True I guess, but Wirefly/non T-Mobile sites have more flexibility. They have an option to not have unlimited texts for an additional $10 which is unfortunately built into the T-Mobile plans.
[Vibrant General] AndroidZ28:
1- if you are not eligible for a full upgrade good luck dealing with a third party, odds are once they see that they won't even talk to you, and all third party full no contract phones are more expensive.

5- No third party dealer will ever have plans that you can not get at a t-mobile store. You can get a plan without texts anywhere. If anything you get more flexibility at a corporate store because the employees will know what they are doing in the computer and may find you a better deal.

I mean this in the nicest way - you seem to have a lot of questions, you should probably go to a corporate store and let them help you. You could easily be taken advantage of by a third party dealer.
[Vibrant General] Tydiz:
I bought my Vibrant from Wirefly, for an extremely early upgrade(after breaking my poor Nexus that Google gave to me for free :( ), and have been pleased with the experience. I felt the discount was extremely fair, as I still had almost a year left on my contract, and the order went through smooth and fast. Its actually the second time I've dealt with them(Ironically, the first was another Sammy phone which lasted me nearly 2 years before getting the G1). I honestly have recommended to friends Wirefly because of my transactions with them.

As others have mentioned, there is a secondary contract that applies to you keeping a fixed rated plan with T-Mobile, meaning if you had a 1000 minute plan, and decide to drop it to 500 before Wirefly gives you a thumbs up, they will start charging your card extra. If you don't do this much, you might find it to be a fair trade-off :)
[Vibrant General] jayzusfk:
As mentioned, early upgrades are USUALLY a no-go with 3rd-party dealers.

Plan flexibility is definitely not more available in non t-mo sites. Call em up or pop into a store and you can find all sorts of options, not to mention the fact that they'll review what you actually use instead of leaving you with the guesswork.

In fact, before you even consider ordering one through wirefly, you may want to call up customer care and see if they'll help you out. They'll do a lot of nice things for loyal customers. Although even if they can't I would prefer to pay a little more and not have to hassle with a different company.
[Vibrant General] hukkguai:
Tmo Rep here. If you already have a T-Mobile account and you are near the end of contract date, you can get excellent deals from the Loyalty Department. They have a lot of flexibility in pricing because their job is to keep you from canceling so usually they will give you really nice deals to stay.

In terms of Corp vs 3rd Party, it really depends on where you go. I've been to Best Buys where employees knew their stuff about phones and plans and I know of other corporate stores in my area where the reps don't know what they are doing.

If you are a new customer, try bringing that Wirefly price into a store and see if they will give it to you. "Technically" we aren't supposed to pricematch websites but go to the right store, they will do it for you. I pricematch stuff all of the time lol
[Vibrant General] zerosource:

[Vibrant General] Spartoi:

If you are on the pre-release (which I am as well), you will not see the final release available to update to. Per HTC's Twitter, it looks like they are working on something special for those who installed the pre-release. If you installed the rooted pre-release (such as I), simply go to a previous 1.47 ROM and check for the update there.

Update 2: Installed. Testing out flash on Newgrounds. Runs a little slow on the site experience but the flash videos run smooth for me at least. I'd test out the camera but I never had a problem with it. Always ended up with decent photos. If there is one thing I can nag about the camera on the phone is that it doesn't focus on two people that are moving, meaning the person taking the picture and the person getting their picture taken, like my Cannon PowerShot does but I'm just nitpicking there.

Update 3: If I had to nitpick 1 more thing it would be that I would like to be able to wrap around to my next home screen when I'm on either side. Like go from furthest right screen to the furthest left screen by just swiping.
