Hey all...i've browsed and browsed...and I cannot find a clear YES or NO. IS THERE or IS THERE NOT HSPA+ in the South Carolina/North Carolina area? About 2 weeks ago when I first got my HD2, I was on EDGE/3G...now I am almost always on EDGE/H....so...anyone got a real concrete answer?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Here's T-mobile's map showing where HSPA+ is and isn't rolled out so far...it's only been in several major markets so far, and hasn't spread to non-metro areas yet.

http://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/pcc.aspx

I would also suggest keeping an eye on www.tmonews.com, they always have the latest news on rollout announcements, etc.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroBoyFresh:
The icons from market installed apps are disappearing from my homescreen or I guess I should say changing to a default icon. Only on the homescreen and not in the app drawer. Anyone have any idea on how to fix it.

This patch replaces all the changed libstagefright libraries with versions from the Evo OTA. It isn't the same as the other audio fix. I haven't been able to reproduce the media issues in the past so I need people who are willing to test this patch and report on whether it helps.

Nandroid backup, apply the patch and test media streaming, then reply here and let us know how it went. :)

[Droid Incredible Android Development] scuccia:
I tested this for an hour and it did seem to fix the streaming audio issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Corey@rabbit:
Does this fix help with the bench marks too? Does it decode H264 as fast or slow like the build.prop fix? I dont really care about the speed it decodes, just curious.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jasonb1985:
I imagine we need to undo the other streaming audio fix before applying this, correct? If so, how do we revert back?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GMK83:
Scoring in the 1200s with Quadrant and no audio issues now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rynosaur:
Seems to decrease headphone audio volume by about 25%
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jasonb1985:
Just scored a 1290 in quadrant. The audio quality seems to be back to normal. I am still having issues with MOG where it'll get part way though a song and then skip to the next. Didn't have this issue with the build prop fix.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
I include a build.prop with just the fingerprint changed (market fix) specifically for this reason, to force the stagefright libs to be used again.

So far it sounds like I should include the patch in my bundle.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rynosaur:
I am having issues with the Google Search widget, it won't take text input anymore. I will restore my ' before' backup and report back. I am using Swype.

Edit: My Swype/Google Search Widget issue seem to be 2.2/Swype/Google issues, false alarm, sorry.

I still think my volume was better before this update, though. Are the Evo's and DI's sound hardwarez different?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jasonb1985:
the aac+ files i have saved on my internal memory sound like garbage with this patch applied. MOG is skipping songs part way through. pandora seemed to sound ok, but pandora is my least used music app.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jitajt:
after I applied this fix quadrant would error out at acc decoding
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jasonb1985:
yea, i also experienced this. half the times i ran quadrant it would fail, i was able to get a couple successful runs though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] onetimeuse:
Same here. Worth restoring a nandroid? Is there a way to revert or does it not matter in terms of overall performance anyway?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
I don't think you need to revert unless it's having a practical effect in apps that you use. Either way, I'll put together a revert patch right now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Patch for undoing the audio changes is available for anyone who wants to roll back easily.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] onetimeuse:
Wow, that was fast. Thanks.

Doesn't seem to effect any of my programs (besides quadrant), so maybe I'll hold off on rolling back for now

[Droid Incredible Android Development] wowthatisrandom:
doesnt seem to be working on skyraiders 2.0.1 using the sirius XM app, i get 30 sec of audio then it loops itself.

when i changed

media.stagefright.enable-player=true

to = false

it seems to fix it, dont konw what other side effects that change may cause
[Droid Incredible Android Development] itch808:
So I'm hearing mixed results, is this worth applying?

I'm running Skyraiders 2.0.1 as well...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tmellen:
My audio problem is crappy sound. All my songs play from start to finish, they just sound like they're on AM radio. The build.prop fix actually fixed it so it sounded great again, but the performance hit was far too severe. Also, it borked the video camera. If I tried to record, the phone locked.

This fix does not fix the sound quality. Still sounds like an AM radio with a broken "tune" knob.

However, it had no ill effect on any other part of the OS. Video still works fine, and the phone is still hoppin.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wowthatisrandom:
hey try changing the build prop differently, leave then enable = true and the -http set = false, then you will have good audio and working vid cam
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ellerbestyle:
Well not sure if I should try this. I am running CM6.0.2 and I am so annoyed with streaming not working right. iheartradio and other streaming apps work fine for the first 30 sec to a min then start to like skip. Anyone know what to do besides this fix?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ellerbestyle:
I went ahead and tried it and it didnt work at all.

I was hoping someone could either upload Android Contacts apk, or point me in the direction of where i might find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff
[EVO 4G General] sshark:
You can easily get one from Cyn's latest build, just extract the update.zip and look under app folder for contacts.apk.

I am not sure though if you need any additional files/apk.
[EVO 4G General] imfromwales:
I have the Darkys version of contacts.apk but when I try to install it, it simply says says "Application not installed".

I have tried copying the file to /system/app but there is already a contacts.apk (0bytes large) and it still wont install. I have also tried delting the current contacts.apk in /system/app but when the folder is refreshed, it appears again as the same 0bytes file.

Any idea how to get contacts.apk installed?

Hi to all SG desire users,

Able to install back chinese input after you upgrade to froyo using european rom?
[Desire General] cybermessiah:
Out of interest... are we able to do the initial rooting of the Asian rom via the 'Unrevoked' method??

Its a hell of a lot less complicated than making a gold card... but I havent heard much feedback on whether it will work with the faux-branded Asian roms.

My current stock rom:

Firmware version 2.1-update1

Baseband version 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2

Kernel version 2.6.29-c8d11160

htc-kernal@and18-2#1

Build number 1.20.751.5 CL171460 release-keys

Software number 1.20.751.5

HBOOT 0.80.000

Cheerz in advance.
[Desire General] wihandw:
Is root required for this?
[Desire General] annafil:
Chinese input is available for me on world generic. Can't tell you if it's very good since don't use it but it's there.

No, you do not need to root.

Rooting is not the same as making a gold card and won't help you to install the ota successfully.

The rest: my pleasure :) happy to have saved someone the headache I had trying to do this.
[Desire General] annafil:
I'd be curious if anyone has an easier way to accomplish the same thing without losing settings, for instance.
[Desire General] combo1234:
Does rooting require to do this processes?
[Desire General] :
I bought my handset from an importer, how do I work out where its from and what version its running?

Can I completely ruin the phone if this goes wrong?
[Desire General] steve228uk:
If the software number is something like x.xx.405.x then you're running an unbranded phone.
[Desire General] annafil:
Your question has already been answered two posts before yours.
[Desire General] kero89:
Is this reversible back to the Asian rom?

ie send in for warranty purposes. :D

i can't wait too, feel like trying it out
[Desire General] antu_pogroms:
hye. i'm from asia. ok.. i have several question.

1. Do i have to always keep the goldcard the sdcard after update or i can simply delete the file?

2. Am i be able to auto update (if any) in the future or i have to go through the same procedure again?

3. After Step 1, can i just check for update on the phone instead installing the update from boot recovery mode?

[Desire General] annafil:
Use a gold card. See the beginning of the OP.

1. No, you don't need the gold card once you are done.

2. If you use the European firmware on an Asian phone, you will likely need the gold card for future updates.

3. Yes, you can, but you have to have the gold card in your phone when you are running the update. So your gold card still has to be your SD card.

the update has a tendency to ask for more space, and then ask you to download again. i figured it would be easier to tell people to run the update.zip because that way less stuff can go wrong. But yeah, it's the same thing.

The update.zip does not wipe your phone. If you have settings on the European 2.1, or if you already used a gold card to go to WWE rom before, you won't lose settings.
[Desire General] antu_pogroms:
thanks for the answer... i think i'll wait for the update.. i'm not brave enough to update manually since my device is still under warranty.. also i heard that some user experiencing some problem during updating...
[Desire General] seananderson:
I don't think it is because the asian version is 2.19 wheras the world wide english is 2.21.

I had a problem in that the update would not apply - but I had taken out my gold card between applying the 2.1 WWE rom and applying the Froyo update. BTW, if it keeps rebooting, and has a problem with "system" force closing - then you have this problem.

Anyway, in desperation, I thought I would go back to the asian rom - but the euro rom is more recent, and it refused to downgrade (Error 140). Oh well. I do have a successful Euro rom, I just haven't Froyoed it yet - something for tonight.
[Desire General] abhishek_22:
I have successfully completed 1&2 steps but I am getting error in step3, see the attached screen grab.

I am using a Gold Card to try and get over the signature verification issues.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to what else to try please?

:confused:

[Desire General] bobsie41:
After many tribulations i have eventually managed to instal stock froyo on my debranded desire and i have also introduced the green file mod to make all my apps install to the sd card by default.

My question is which apps can happily remain on my sd card and which really need to stay on my phone memory?

Am i correct in assuming that games can work happily from my card?

Is it practical to run google maps and google earth for instance, from the card.

Ideally i would like some informed opinion as to the type of apps which can go to the storage card and the types which need to remain on the phone memory to function correctly.

Thanks in advance for any help.

P.S. Really love froyo.
[Desire General] doinbox:
I'm no expert about this but as far is I am aware u should install any widget apps and apps that auto start on power up should be installed to phone. All others are fine on SD. I may be wrong though.
[Desire General] doinbox:
How do I do the green file mod to install apps to sd?

I've used search but cant find it. Even using google.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] refthemc:
I really liked how Legend added a bit of color to the tabs in Music, Clock, and others. Then I found that Fresh added even more color so credit goes to Flipz and also HTC for the original idea. Your Lockscreen Arch, your launcher, and yours tabs will change, also I have only tested this on PlainJane2.0 so morph at your own risk

8/25/10 A Small Update

- Legend style Pull down Menu

- Added Glossy Buttons to Music Player Widget

- Added Small Glossy button Look to some of the previews when Adding a New Widget

- Attempted Fix to Fade in effect of New Buttons over the Old buttons in People, Photos, and Clock

8/31/10

- Actually fixed Fade in effect of New Buttons over the Old buttons in People, Photos, and Clock not just "attempted"

What kind of png's would you add? And I'm proud to be one of the 3 users haha

Anyways, great job! Always the first thing I apply with a new rom.. I hope you end up adding to it but no rush.. I'd hate to see you get run off by unappreciative people.

Keep up the great work!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] KarateExplosion6:
did it work?

also, what's different about the lock screen arch and launcher?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] refthemc:

I really don't know much except swapping out or theme'ing a couple of pngs here and there with photoshop but what I do know I try and help out :)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] refthemc:
They're just a little more glossy, check the first 2 screen shots for an example
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] dhbdhb2000:

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] KarateExplosion6:
worked awesome on xtrSENSE4.0.6.1; i'm really liking the extra glossy look plus the additional color!

p.s. in xtrSENSE, the little green fob that shows which home page you're on STAYS green, but the launcher itself gets glossy. Looks sick!

Not an app that lets you use a wii remote to control your phone, but an app that lets your phone control a wii.

Does such an app exist?
[Android Apps and Games] E_man5112:
Not sure you'll be ablew to get around the fact that the phones don't have IR emitters.
[Android Apps and Games] pmprog:
Phones don't need IR emitters.

The Wiimote has a (IR) camera and accelerometers. It's the sensor bar that contains the IR LEDs.

That said, if you built a new sensor bar (just a stick with some tape could work) that was visually striking. You could use the phones camera to imitate the IR portion of the controller.
[Android Apps and Games] mrono:
I can see a use for this (watching netflix or something), but not for playing games
[Android Apps and Games] E_man5112:
Thought it was the other way around. Did a test, and despite the IR filter on the camera, the LED's do show through, so in theory, it could work.
[Android Apps and Games] flyingwolf:
I have yet to find a consumer grade camera that could not see IR like that on regular remote controls.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pzumk:
What are you talking about, exactly?

I don't see any problems here yet
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MENDEH:
on my phone when i go into the news and weather app, sometimes the "Top Stories" category is completely missing and other times it only has 1 or 2 items under "Top Stories". if i clear the data for news and weather then top stories will return, but show only 5 items instead of the full 10. as soon as i do any type of refresh the items disappear.

Made softreset, something got messed up because when i loaded the phone again, "couldnt read registry" cant install any apps, or use any apps...

i can basicly just use the "slider"

cant go to apps screen everything is screwed up....

now is my question how i can backup my contacts and sms

to make a format of the phone...

i cant use windows mobile center on computer just says "error"

and i tryed install SPB backup computer backup "error install on mobile"

The only way for me to make backup i think is to browse my phone and copy the files storing contacts if this is possible?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
Hate to be the one to tell you this, but this is why you backup when you are NOT having problems, only takes a minute to run the PIMbackup program, or to make sure you have a recent sync. Could stay synced with Gmail OTA .

Someone else may have a better idea , maybe backup your cemail file, not sure if that works.

Good plan is to sync or backup at least once a week, if not more.

Or if you use the MS Myphone app it does it nightly , syncs whatever you have selected.

Can someone please create an app/widget that handles all of these three services in one app. Users should be able to easily post to all networks with one click, easily see when they have notifications in facebook and be able to access them with one click, and search for and follow people easily on Twitter. I prefer all tweets, status updates, and buzzs to be in one stream like the Samsung widget, but with more functionality. I would be willing to pay a couple bucks for the widget/app if I could try out a free version first to verify its coolness, and I think many others would be too. If you would love to see this app made please reply to this and maybe a dev will see the potential behind this possible widget.
