well i just tried it out, formatting the card seems to work fine, looks like the phone itself creates the folders it needs when it needs it.

not sure how i can see if the phone is still rooted, since superuser and all that is removed from the sd card now.

Can't seem to get HTC Sync 3.0.5387 to work on my desktop running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate. I keep getting this error when I try to run it:

"htc upct loader has stopped working"

Seems to work fine on my laptop also running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate though which hasn't had any other HTC Sync version installed on it. Any ideas :?
[Desire General] gloom:
Hmmm ... found that version for the HTC Wildfire ... and it asks for a valid SN

HTC Desire section allows me only to take the 2.0.x version.

Shouldn't the problem come from that ?
[Desire General] philje123:
Did you un-install the previous version first?

I have had no problems using the exact same operating system.

Phil
[Desire General] HighSnobility:
Yeah I don't think it's made for the desire but it works on my laptop just not on my desktop for some reason, it has had HTC Sync installed on it previously so maybe there is an old driver or something lying around :S

Yep I uninstalled it before installing, disabled virus scanner as well, no idea what's going on :/
[Desire General] philje123:
You definately also removed the HTC Driver Installer program too?

Have you tried cleaning the registry and deleting any HTC folders from the drive?

Sound like something is conflicting somewhere.

Phil
[Desire General] HighSnobility:
Yep uninstalled both HTC programs, only via control panel though.. I think you are right there is probably something hanging around in the registry etc. Don't suppose anyone knows of a tool to clean the registry :?
[Desire General] philje123:
CCleaner is a good one!

So I take it that the rest of you are enjoying the ability to only sync the past month's calender :o

Is there a way round this as I'd like to sync the whole calender as per previous HTC Sync versions
[Desire General] ericb:
You can try resetting the phones date to, say 01.01.2007. and then let it sync.

This was suggested in another forum somewhere.

so how does this itunes sync via htc? do i sync the phone then go into itunes? is there a htc sync icon in itunes???

Thanks

Thanks mate, well I cleaned up the registry and removed all traces of anything named HTC but after a restart and fresh install it's still giving the same error :(

Doesn't HTC Sync 3.0 have a repair option ? I want to overwrite my mobile with PC data and just can't seem to find the option :o

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Susasama:
Ok, seems pretty straight forward. plug in USB, slide down notification select turn on USB mass storage. open folder on PC, click drag files to designated locations. Reboot to get the files to show up in astro.

Now here's my problem. Half the files i transfer over are fine the other half, transfer over with no data behind them. 0kb. i transferred over about 10 ringtones, 5 wallpapers and 2 .apks

About 4 ringtones work, the others show up in astro, but have no data, i finally got all the wallpapers to work, after file transferring several times. and 1 .apk worked and the other doesn't.

It seems to be sporadic, as in, i transferred over the set of wallpapers i'd say 10 times. Out of the 10 time, the first 9 it was a different wallpaper(or couple) that would have no data, the last time they finally all went over as they should have.

This is getting rather irritating, I've searched the forums and the only help I've found is about the reboot phone to get them to show up in Astro. Any advice/assistance?

TL;DR- Half the files i transfer from PC to SD card, have no data attached to them, it's just a filename. Seems sporadic.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gallit:
Maybe DroidExplorer can help you, if your PC is under Windows.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Susasama:
Actually, there was one file in particular that kept showing up as 0bytes. and this time, i actually read what it said on the "Turn off USB storage" screen. It says: Before turning off USB storage, make sure you have unmounted ("ejected") your Android's SD card from your computer.

So i actually did that, and the file transferred. I'll test a few more things to see if that's the case.

Never in my life of owning a PC have i ever used the "Safe to remove hardware" taskbar thing. I've always just yanked the USB cord. Never had a problem :X

Edit: That seems to have helped immensely, but hasn't solved the problem fully. Just transferred over 20 wallpapers, and only 2 show up as 0 bytes. So, maybe i'm on the right tack, i'll try the DroidExplorer see if that helps.

Anyone with advice or a solution, I welcome your $0.02

I'm a little bit confused, I have sent my contact card from my HD2 to a friend who has also a HD2 and he couldn't open it and received a message that he can download the MMS at the provider website.

Is there any chance to fix this?

Hi all

I miss the settings to configure the mail attachment sizes.

I see them on the HTC Desire; but not on the SGS. This restriction comes with Eclair 2.1 and Froyo 2.2.

Someone knows a solution for this problem?
[Desire General] meaties:
Hi There,

I have a Desire on T-Mobile UK and tried to debrand last night without success. I created the gold card using the gold card tool and that looked fine. I then ran the stock firmware installation from within Windows however I am getting error 171 and something to do with the USB connection.

Am I being really silly and doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Ian
[Desire General] s1977:
Ian

Can I propose an alternative to what you are doing? I am assuming that you have a valid goldcard that you are using. I updated my stock t-mobile branded phone to debranded 'HTC froyo with sense' yesterday evening. I found this amazingly simple and I hope you do the same as well. Here's what I did.

1. Download file PB99IMG_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28 U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.zip from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=684259 and rename it to PB99IMG.zip and store it onto your goldcard. This way you do not need any computer at all to push the update. You can do everything on the phone.

2. Insert the goldcard into your phone.

3. Get the phone into recovery mode by restarting by pressing the volume down key on phone startup (power the phone from being switched off). There is an option for recovery where the phone will automatically read the flash rom file and present you with options. It will then ask you if you want to apply the update or not. Press volume up button to accept.

4. Let the rom upgrade do its job. It will reboot a few times.

5. Once its applied all updates, it will restart, i.e. you will see the HTC boot animation and subsequently the phone will be ready.

6. Ensure that you set up your wifi connectivity or that you are on HSDPA now.

7. Go to settings > about phone > updates and click the check updates button.

8. The system will automatically download and install froyo now....

9. All smiles..... ;) I would suggest that you reboot the phone once the froyo update is over.
[Desire General] JaykaySLO:
did you set usb debugging in phone settings and set it to charge only? Do you have device drivers for desire (htc sync installs them).

I debranded mine yesterday. Created a goldcard (klutsch method, tool) pluged in usb with mentioned settings, ran WWE 1.21.405 RUU (exe) had to reboot my comp in order to finish the booloader driver install. Then I ran the .exe again and it went smoothly. With the stock rom and goldcard inserted I updated to froyo.
[Desire General] meaties:
AH!!!!!!!!!! I didn't have it on charge only doh! I will try it again tonight thanks JayKaySLO.

If however this doesn't work I will try your version s1977.

I thought I was being stupid ;o)

Thanks for your help.

Ian
[Desire General] foxmeister:
If I were you, I'd try to root using UnrEVOked3 first, and then just flash a pre-rooted Froyo ROM, rather than debranding to get the update OTA.

Two reasons for this:

1. If UnrEVOked3 works for you, it is very simple

2. You won't be updating your HBoot to the latest, currently unrootable, version, which will allow you more flexibility in future with custom ROMs.

Regard,

Dave
[Desire General] patp:
Flashing a pre rooted rom seems like a better option. Just waiting for the dust to settle around any small bugs. Debranding is surely just as much of a warranty void so what's the benefit, you just end up with a security locked phone.
[Desire General] claudefrog:
Hi, can you tell me if you were on HBOOT 0.80 or 7.5 when you did this please.
[Desire General] meaties:
I guess I will need to get the phone unlocked for the root?

Dilemma??

Thanks again.
[Desire General] Airwalker82:
I did mine last night and was also getting the USB error. This is what I did and it worked perfectly:

(With Goldcard inserted)

-Boot up phone

-Connect to PC > Set to HTC Sync

-Run the RUU WWE 1.21.405.2 ROM

If/when you get the USB error message onscreen, your phone should be on a black background with the HTC logo. At this point I did the following:

-Leave the phone on the HTC logo (as it was when you got the error).

-Unplug the phone (you will not be on a white screen with coloured text)

-Plug the phone back in (you will now be back to the HTC logo)

-Re run the RUU

It worked for me, just wish I could remember where I read it before!
[Desire General] meaties:
Nice one Airwalker82 :o)

Thanks
[Desire General] s1977:
claudefrog, I was on HBOOT v0.8 and i still am after the upgrade. TBH, i was confused with all the information with updating the phone and eventually went down with the system option rather than the computer bit as I use a mac anyways..... :)
[Desire General] Airwalker82:
No worries, let us know if it worked for you.

I'll try to find the original source for where I found that little workaround, it might be useful for others.

**Almost forgot, you need to enable USB debugging on your phone before you connect it to your PC else it wont work.
[Desire General] meaties:
I will give it another go tonight and let you know how I get on.

Thanks for all the advice!

Ian
[Desire General] pablo_max:
I just tried the SD card way, putting in my gold card and it worked fine.

Only issues, still cannot see for an update. I think maybe because of vodafone network.

I may try the same method to install 2.2 since it worked so nice.
[Desire General] meaties:
Is there a chance HTC have pulled the update?

Glad to hear the SD card way worked :o)
[Desire General] pablo_max:
Ok, Reflashed with SD card way and no sim card...now it sees the update.

Thats the trick I guess. No vodafone SIM
[Desire General] meaties:
Result with the debrand and update to 2.2. I did what you said Airwalker82 and it was a walk in the park!

Thanks again for all the advice.

Ian
[Desire General] s1977:
Glad to hear it worked for you....
[Desire General] Airwalker82:
Excellent! Glad that worked! =)

It certainly does feel quicker - no little laggy moments when doing things a little too quickly, and no more juddering when in a game or something and a message comes through =D

Enjoy your new FroYo =)

I think Froyo is an improvment however I do find surfing the net isn't quite as smooth as before, but still happy.

[Desire General] TomKle:
Did anyone have any luck with this?

When it starts into recovery mode, it automatically tries to run the zip file, ending in a message saying that my Main version is older. If I choose not to reboot, I can run recovery mode, but that just ends up on a black screen with a icon of a phone and a big red exclamation mark.

I'm currently running the dreaded 1.24.161.3 and a 0.80 bootloader
[Desire General] DanTehManUK:
If your on that screen you can run Recovery-windows.bat and get into the Recovery menu, then you can run update.zip from the menu
[Desire General] TomKle:
No, there is no way to do that. None of the buttons are responsive and the touchscreen is also non responsive. All I see is this black screen with an Android icon, a red triangle and an exclamation mark.
[Desire General] !PANDA:
to get out of that screen and get into the menu, hold volume up button and hit power button, then the second option should be apply from sdcard, and the hit power button to select and btw, use volume buttons to navigate volume up is up and volume donw is down..

let me know how you get on as I do have a proble with this too! ;/ good luck!
[Desire General] nickhuk:
Arghhh

I am also having the same problem and am also running the same software and bootloader...

after the message "main version is older" i went into recovery pressed vol up and power and selected "apply sdcard:update.zip" it then said

"E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory)

E:signature verification failed

installation aborted"

Please Please Please HELP!!!!

Thanks in advance... :D
[Desire General] TomKle:
I'm getting this same error. I've read about manually removing the check mechanism from the zip file, but I'm not sure if this is what you would want.
[EVO 4G General] Rudementry:
Ok, so I've been getting pretty good speeds with my 4G before the OTA update, around 7-8ish Mbps. This is all taken from the same place, inside my house.

After the OTA, I tried some 4G, and I was SHOCKED!

Edit: Just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating and it wasn't a fluke, I ran several more tests, the lowest score being just over 9Mbps. I'm thinking that either Sprint just flipped the "real" 4G switch, or somehow I got unthrottled 4G.
[EVO 4G General] felacio:
you suck.. lol

my best has been like 4Mbps. :rolleyes:

that is with the Rooted leak though...
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
Niice, what kind of latency are you seeing?
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
I am also getting very good speeds, around 6mbps consistently while I could only get about 4mbps before in the same spot.
[EVO 4G General] felacio:
I'm kindof wanting to update to the 2.2 final roo just for that. I'm currently on BakedSnack 1.0

...hmm..

Really the only thing keeping me on this ROM is the sexy theme. :D
[EVO 4G General] Lyiondr:
I just installed the OTA 2.2 update and have noticed a huge increase in 4G speed also.

I used to cap out at 5.5Mbps averaging 4. Now I cap out at 10.5 averaging 6-8.

This is a completely stock non rooted EVO.
[EVO 4G General] felacio:
Well, I'm not gonna go THAT far, I needs mah root! haha. I'm totally going to update now though, my battery lasts a good amount with 4G on all day. and I want it to go faster!
[EVO 4G General] chuckhriczko:
My speeds increased too. In King of Prussia, PA I maxed out at 4 Mbps. Now I max out at 7Mbps. I'm so angry that the Lehigh Valley doesn't have WiMax yet. That's where I live :(
[EVO 4G General] E-MAC:
Same story here. My previous high would be in the 4 - 5 Mbps range. Last night I pulled down 8.3 Mbps. I've had the same positive results regardless of what kernel I've been running, so I would have to think this is a result of the new wimax radio.
[EVO 4G General] kb-evo:
Can you keep the speed during actual usage?

Can you keep the speed during actual usage?

I'm on 'leaked' now and speed is the same as on .47 (around 6) but say on usb tethered and skype my real transfer is super low :mad: (very low quality picture). It was perfect on 2.1.

So is it just short 'high peak' to look cool on test?:confused: Any thoughts?
[EVO 4G General] mendez_v:
Im using FreshEvo 3.1 and I also saw better speeds (previous peak was 3-4, now pulling 8-9). If I remember correctly from reading a previous post about speeds, the more activity the faster your connection should be. I'm gonna be optimistic and say they DID turn on the real 4g switch along with the new updated wimax.
[EVO 4G General] BrianBusby2038:
My speeds have gone way up too.I'm running Fresh 3.0.3w/the stock kernel.I'm actually pretty impressed.I live in upstate NY and figured when I got the phone I probably wouldnt see any 4g coverage for a year or so:)View attachment 372271

[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
We should tip this thread to Engadget if we get more confirmation :)
[EVO 4G General] kingofslackerz:
have you compared your speeds with that app and speakeasy or dslreports? that app is crap
[EVO 4G General] BrianBusby2038:
I haven't, but noticed while reading some other posts that speedtest isn't particularly accurate. I'll run some other tests next time I'm in the same area.
[EVO 4G General] topdawgn8:
Why does everyone say this??? I watched my net usage in System Panel while I was doing my test and it's near spot on. It doesn't take your peak speed, but averages it.

I'm not trying to insult anybody. If there's something I'm missing on why the speedtest.net app isn't worth it, please enlighten me.
[EVO 4G General] BrianBusby2038:
I don't really get it either, I'm out of 4g coverage atm but just ran some 3g tests using speakeasy and the numbers are about the same as what I've been getting from speedtest.
[EVO 4G General] Lyiondr:
I used the speakeasy link here, which got the highest numbers for me at about 10.5-11Mbps depending on which server I chose.

I also use the Speedtest.net app and now get 6000 where I used to get 3500 - 4400.

Also tested using Xtremelabs speedtest app, am getting 6.5-9Mpbs now where I used to get 3.5-4.5.
[Droid Incredible General] skoink:
I just got an HTC incredible, but it's crazy loud - the lowest call volume setting is loud enough that it's a little unpleasant to talk on it.

Are there any technical fixes I could do for this? I'm running a rooted stock ROM right now, and I have adb working although I'm not completely sure what to use it for other than installing apps.

I would imagine that there must be some kind of configuration file somewhere which sets overall speaker gain. Any thoughts?
[Droid Incredible General] DeeBG:
Hmm, the only solution I can think of is to go with a bluetooth headset, but maybe someone smarter can provide a cost-free solution.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Army_Spec_Ops:
Does anyone know if there is a visual voicemail app for the Tilt 2?:confused::D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] isoluva:
Yes there is. Checkout Fusion Voicemail Plus. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! and it's a free app.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
Been playing with this for the past hour and found some significant issues (for me, anyway). While the speech-to-text appears to work very well, when you click on a message to play it back it opens Windows Media Player. The problem with this is that the sound is now routed to the speakers instead of the earpiece and your message can be heard by anyone near you. Not a good idea if you want to retrieve your messages in public. The other problem is that there is a lag between the time the message is left and when you get notification of it. On my phone without FusionPhone the time it takes from when a call goes to voicemail to when I get the network notification is generally less than 30 seconds. With FP it is several minutes before I get notified. Not a big deal, but it could be longer depending on your network and location and if someone is trying to reach you urgently minutes could matter. I'm going to run it awhile longer, but not sure at this point if I need it. If you have multiple voicemail numbers and want to consolidate them into one place, this is a good solution.
