Hi Guys,

Complete nood here, sorry!

I've just rooted my Desire (did it first time, no issues whatsoever!) I'm sticking with my current stock rom for now (still undecided on which 2.2 rom to go for and don't have time tonight!)

However, one thing i really want to do with root access is remove the EU volume restriction on my phone. I've done a fair bit of hunting but can't find a dam thing on it.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire General] patp:
Bump +1 this is the quietest phone I ever had.
[Desire General] aindow:
I debranded my Orange Desire using a Europe ROM - didn't make a difference. I found a "WWE ROM" and it's much louder now.

I take it this volume limit has now been forced upon us?
[Desire General] nforsans:
I have found volume to be better since upgrading to froYo - not sure if its me but its definitely louder now...
[Desire General] thegrantonstarcause:
I'm using a stock 2.2 rom (unbranded, rooted) and the volume is definitely lower than it was in 2.1.

I would be very interested in any solution to this...
[Desire General] KRiZ-R:
Yeah, I thought is was louder also after froyo update :D
[Desire General] flashflash:
noticeably quieter, i have to go nearly full volume now with my headphones. previously half way used to be adequate.
[Desire General] steve228uk:
I've always had to go to near full volume, especially with podcasts :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] mr_steve100:
Hey all,

I've been dabbling with the XAndroid releases here and have got the XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.25.07.10 working on my HTC TD2.

However, I'm trying to access the Marketplace and everytime I tap to load it, a white screen comes up for a couple of seconds and then disappears again, showing the desktop (or apps menu) and there's no indication of anything having loaded or working.

I can do this repeatedly without having to reset my HTC; same thing happens each time. There is no error message.

Anyone have any idea or tips or could I be missing the actual Marketplace app? Or should I use a different ext2?

Thanks all.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] stijnr:
I upgraded my system with the latest build yesterday (setup is here), and I had the same problem.

I also found out that my Google Account had been removed from the sync setup.

However, after I rebooted I did get a Google Account prompt when starting Marketplace, and after entering my login information it launched without a problem.

Maybe you could also try adding your Google account to the phone?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] stijnr:
My mistake,

It's not working for me either after all. I replaced the system.ext with the one from 2.2 beta 2 and then it worked.

I've got the same problem as you:a white screen shows for a few seconds, and then the home screen shows.

Also, as I stated before, my google mail sync account has been removed, and I can't seem to re-add it. When I go to Gmail I get a message that the account has not been configured for auto-sync. Menu > Refresh doesn't do anything. Menu > Accounts shows "Gmail, 0 accounts". The Add Account button displays a black screen with "Add an account" at the top.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] tommy1994:
try delete the data.img file

after deleted it,mine work
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] stijnr:
Yes, this seems to fix it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] mr_steve100:
Thanks tommy1994.

Now working perfectly. (Just for others, I decided to update to the latest release too.)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmt345:
I know that the WM 6.1 ROMS have CF slot compatibility but do any of the newer WM (like 6.5 or 6.5.5) have CF slot compatibility?

Many thanks. :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverhawk_184:
Wow, this is off topic, but I have one of those too. I wonder where it is. I totally forgot about it. It's time to play with some new roms.:D:D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spiaatie:
Welcome to XDA!

Please use a search before posting a new thread.

You can find WM6.5 ROM [here].

I'm quite sure that CF works with that ROM.

:)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmt345:
Doesn't it say that the CF slot doesn't work on the first post? I think thats what is meant by this:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spiaatie:
Where do you see any word that there is no CF card driver?

All I see there is memory (RAM) usage tests if there's CF / SD card inserted or no.

Kernel version for OTA Update is 2.6.32
[Desire General] huwwatkins:
Hi

That solution was posted in the dev forum this morning :D
[Desire General] thpoul:
I hope everything works ok now on your Desire. Your post is really helpful for people who might come across this problem.
[Desire General] Futurian:
I thought it was a bit suspicious that the Kernel hadn't changed, also I am believing that the Radio ROM should also update during the process..

Did look around, shame I didn't notice it :-S O well, if one person is able to fix their phone from my post then the effort won't have been in vain ;)

Everything is looking perfect as of yet :D I have checked that my phone isn't rooted (No Ninja icon, can't "su" in a terminal). God knows what the problem is!
[Desire General] Futurian:
Update : OTA Update completed successfully using Gold Card!

1) Create a blank gold card and insert into device.

2) Download OTA Update through Wi-Fi.

3) Turn off Wi-Fi and disassociate from Access Point.

[Desire General] chessmaster82:
I tried this, just comes up wit error message "CID incorrect" Update Fail! Do you want to reboot the device...

Any ideas?
[Desire General] Futurian:
Need to use a Goldcard.
[Desire General] chessmaster82:
CID

Just tried creating a gold card again, does this look like a valid CID to you guys?

CID: 00000000000000000049E917D100A69E

Reversing CID

CID: 00A600D117E949000000000000000000
[Desire General] bightf:
Seems not to me... why so many zeros ? oO
[Desire General] chessmaster82:
Ive just created a new goldcard with CID shown above, loaded the file PB99IMG, Powered up whilst holding the down volume, entered Hboot, but it didnt do anything with th file this time, any ideas?
[Desire General] chessmaster82:
Thats what I was thinking... I've followed the instructions properly, only im using Gold Card Tool 0.05 by Klutsh rather than the command line

Update - Just tried the CMD method, get the same CID 00000000000000000049E917D100A69E reversed is 00A600D117E949000000000000000000
[Desire General] Futurian:
PB99IMG

.zip

?
[Desire General] chessmaster82:
Im running W7, so doesnt show it's a zip therefor no need to label as zip, if I go into properties it tells me its a zip file
[Desire General] Futurian:
There's an app on the Android Market called "GoldCard Helper". Does this give you the same reverse CID for your SD Card? I believe I have read that not every Make/Brand/Model of SDCard will be usable for the process, you could be one of the unfortunate ones with an unsuitable card. Can we also confirm that the card is formatted as FAT32?

The

exact

filename is still very relevant, Windows 7 is not going to work this out for you. I recommend showing file extensions for known file types, so that you can be sure that its exactly "PB99IMG.zip" and not anything like "PB99IMG.zip.zip"..
[Desire General] PurpleApple:
would you send a link for the solution?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
My 2p here...

This isn't HTC fault and the fact they offered to help at all is a credit to them - they could've just told you to go away as you've bought a phone that's been modified and as such void its warranty. Your anger should be at the eBay seller. The fact that your phone offered an update is because all it does is check the version number with their servers - it doesn't know you on a debranded device and as such isn't their fault either.

As said on here by other you need to perform all updates in future with a gold card in the phone as the CID won't pass checks and updates will fail/install incorrectly.

Lesson learnt, I assume you managed to get the new 2.10.405.2 update OK?

please help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my phone is death

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
[Captivate General] Kaik541:
wut?

are you running this on a captivate or a different model?
[Captivate General] magicdanw:
What happens if you hold down volume up, down, and power? Can you get to a screen with a yellow exclamation point? Or just a frozen AT&T logo? Details are invaluable. In particular, what phone is it?
[Captivate General] celtichazard:
only show AT&T logo and then turn off and on the same logo many times. The command to put in download mode no work any more

the phone is Galaxy S i9000
[Captivate General] magicdanw:
It says here the download mode for the Galaxy S is volume down + home + power

http://android.modaco.com/content/s...o-com/311349/flash-now-your-samsung-galaxy-s/

Did you try that? Also, try volume up instead of down, since I think I read the Galaxy S and Captivates may have reversed up and down buttons.

You'd probably do better off posting in the Galaxy S subforum however, or on Modaco, since this subforum is mostly full of people who have never even seen a Galaxy S.
[Captivate General] labbu63:
OHOHOH this happened to me first download the samsung new pc studio for drivers and install then open odin(first) and plug phone in after that hold power button and volume up and down the screen should flash once then keep holding it should flash once again then let go of power and you should be into download mode (this happened to me before and i fixed it like this)
[Captivate General] celtichazard:
I make this short video of the problem

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8AIvalzBvY
[Captivate General] AllTheWay:
Samsung Captivate

Did you try and flash a Samsung Captivate ROM on a Galaxy S i9000? From looking at your device it definitely not a Samsung Captivate. I would re-flash a i9000 ROM and it should fix your problem.

Turn off your phone. Hold down the Volume down button and then press the power button. The phone should be in download mode.

Download this firmware from here. http://www.multiupload.com/2TNDO4LQYW

This should fix your problem.
[Captivate General] magicdanw:
OP: Did you try the suggestion about releasing the power button when the screen goes black? On my captivate, I would hold power + vol up + vol down and it'd show a logo on the screen, then the screen would go black, and I'd let go of the power button while holding the volume buttons. Then I'd get to download mode. I'm thinking you could do something similar, maybe vol up + power + home and let go of power when the screen goes black? Or try vol down + power + home. Play around with different combinations.
[Captivate General] labbu63:
trust me my method works sadly i cant make a vid (sent my captivate back) for another captivate
[Captivate General] magicdanw:
I know your method works, but the OP has a Galaxy S, not a Captivate. Buttons might work differently at the low level, especially if it's been flashed with the Captivate button mappings.
[Captivate General] celtichazard:
I try so many combinatios and no luck no can intro in download mode

this situation is killing me any other ideas

thanks
[Captivate General] magicdanw:
Afraid not...to my knowledge you're the only person who's flash a non-Galaxy S rom on a Galaxy S phone.

I don't know anything about the Samsung warranty, but could one assume that since they offer source code, roms, and flashing tools, they would cover problems related to flashing? Somehow I doubt it, but it'd sure be nice...
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Maybe try the Galaxy S forums? Here or Modaco.
[Captivate General] aCx85:
any one find a fix to this ?
[Captivate General] MicroBeta:
When I had this problem on my Captivate heres what fixed it for me.

Pulled the battery to make sure it's off. Put the battery back in, hold both the up & down buttons, and then plug in the USB cable.

This puts it into download mode so you need to have the correct firmware ready to go.

Mike
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
Try "adb reboot download" , over and over again while it boots or when it's in recovery mode.

Maybe you can get through.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Izzy_Deadyet:
I was just reading comments in another thread about Widgets that cause battery drain by preventing the phone from sleeping properly.

In addition, I was reading recently, on some blog, about how so many apps request access to so many areas of an Android phone for no acceptable reason.

It would interesting to a large number of users, I think, if there were a stickey that compiled battery draining widgets and overbearing apps.

I'm sure we've all noticed some basic app, a keyboard theme maybe, that wants access to everything! Why? I've installed more sophisticated apps that want access to almost nothing.

I'd start the thread but I'm too lazy ... er ... busy .. I'm more of an idea man ;)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
I've always wondered why that was too and/or why devs feel the need to make apps that way when they don't or shouldn't need to have access to everything.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] KingCifer:
i guess its because the devs are lazy bastards :)

In programming its common to use some "basic framework" from other sources in your programs (for handling incomeing calls etc... )
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] mezo9090:
Task killers kill the battery, bbelieve it or not.

sent from my x10i that is banging for a 2.1 upgrade. ...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Izzy_Deadyet:
Funny KingCifer :-)

I was testing random apps this morning just to see what they want access to. Surprisingly a bunch want access to my contacts even though they have nothing to do with phone/email/sms.

So how many thousands do I need to test :-)

And is there way to install rom of Htc and Nexus 1.That we Called root or What?

@PC Master : I don't think this is what he wants :p

@osasih : 1/ you can't have nexus or desire ROM ... 2/ you cna download WidgetLocker Lockscreen ( it's on the market ) It does what you want
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] vdumitrica:
Install WidgetLocker from TeslaCoil Software. It's very cool and very customizable. It costs $1.99 and it's worth it.

You can choose between the default Android locker, the HTC Sense one and the iPhone locker. Personally, I love the stock Android one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b0ricua:
Hey folks,

I have a simple question, for those of us who installed the unoffcial 2.2 OTA manually (yes I know root is broken, yes I know I'm bad, etc.) what would be the best course of action moving forward?

If the "official" is coming out tomorrow and I can accept the update, do that? (considering any DEV's out there that are interested in finding the exploits to the official 2.2 won't work on the one released this past weekend, but the one tomorrow)

Do NOT accept the official OTA tomorrow and just leave the "unofficial" leak I have.

What do you folks think? And like I said, I understand that by accepting the risk of the unofficial OTA I broke root and there is a risk of never having root ever again (didn't have it in first place)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
I'd wait. If there is a way to root the version you have, you can do that when it's published. I'm wondering if the whole pre-release thing was a ploy to get the dev community to find any holes in the update so they could plug them in the final release, especially with the new jailbreaking legalities.

If the real update is rootable, you just wait and update then. I would stay where you are if you don't really need to update to the final release.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk63:
I kinda doubt that they were looking for root exploits with the leak, simply not enough time. I would bet they were just seeing if this broke anything spectacularly or not, basically a release candidate more than anything more malicious.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanBergundy:
Do you want to root eventually?

If so, staying where you are keeps your chances higher. You can always upgrade, can't go back though.

If you don't care i'd update. Watch to see if htc says anything about your process to update again.

Also, if everything works fine right now, you could wait and watch what devs do.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b0ricua:
I should have specified but my intentions are to root in the future (if possible). And HTC did release a statement on their twitter saying that the unofficial users would free an official update to get "back on track". Whether or not that is what is coming out tomorrow is unknown...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
+1

Nobody has released a root method for the update yet, thus HTC won't really know what holes to close. if there is a method I'm sure they are keeping it hush hush so as NOT to alert HTC of any holes, plus if the Official update isn't rootable (slim chance the devs will figure something out) then they still have the Unofficial to work with, so stay with the unofficial and you definitly have more options, whether you need all those options is yours to decide!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanBergundy:
Then wait. Two chances are better than one.

Does HTC FroYo even matter when we have CM6?
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Globespy:
Sorry if this has been asked before - I searched and could not find an answer.

I am thinking of buying the ZaggBuds which plug into the 3.5mm jack and have an integrated microphone to make and answer calls.

I am hoping that the Sprint Hero allows me to answer calls using the 3.5mm jack?

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Accessories] ipfreelytech:
yes. In fact it even works for just speakers plugged into the jack. Just have to use the phones microphone in that case.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Kcarpenter:
If I recall correctly, and IPhones headset lets us control volume and music threw it - I assume calls would be answered in the same manner.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] MrDowntown12:
I have a pair of $50 Scosche Headphones that have a built in mic and volume control but i can't get them to work properly with my phone. When i plug them in, its shows the headset with the mic, but when i use them within a call no one can hear me. I can hear them but thats it.

There isn't a setting within the phone is there? is it just that my heaphones aren't compatible?
[Hero CDMA Accessories] A_Guy71:
I plug the 3.5mm into my car speakers and phone calls play over the system...just have to speak into the phone microphone. I would assume it would work the same with headphones.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] idumych:
It has to be a regular headset with a single plug for it to work. The iPhone earbuds work great for example, the mic on those is way better than the internal mic on the Hero.

As far as using a button on the headset to answer calls, I'd also like to know how to program that button. I'd like to be able to press it and have it pull up voice search.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] HeroMeng:
The way it's programmed on the iPod Shuffle is to pause (in our case, also answer calls) and long-press for voice options. The middle button of course. I don't think the volume buttons on the iPhone headset work on the Hero.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Nsandhu23:
To be honest it all depends on the headphones like I have the Epic 4g headphones and it doesnt work well. You might have to buy HTC headphones for compatibility.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Bierce22:
I've got skullcandys smokin buds and they work really good and they have a mic on them
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Stuke00:
I have the Epic 4g head phones and they work perfectly for me. I am able to answer calls as well as navigate my music with them. <3 those headphones.

[Hero CDMA Accessories] nateleduc:
I have a pair of headphones with a button and mic in the head set. I press the button to start/stop music as well as answer/hangup calls
[Hero CDMA Accessories] hummedan:
I have the Zagg buds and they work great with the hero. I can press the answer button the button on the volume adjuster that are on the buds and it works like a champ.

Great headphones!
[Hero CDMA Accessories] tutone:
I bought a pair of Sony head phones for the Iphone to use on my HTC Hero thinking that they would work because it had volume control and built in microphone but all their good for is listening to music...
[Hero CDMA Accessories] kbitz:
I use Thermaltake eSports Isurus headphones. They're in-ear buds with a mic on the line. The use a single 3.5mm TRRS plug to connect to phones, and have a TRRS to TRS headphones + microphone splitter for plugging into a computer. They work great with my HTC Hero.

They have an on-mic button, but I haven't played with that to see if it'll auto-answer if I push it. I'm more the 'plug the headset in after i get a call' kinda guy.
