I always do. My jeans STILL manage to lightly tap the power button then my leg rubbing on the screen still unlocks it!

(before stating the obvious "face the screen to the outside" so your leg doesnt rub, I just can't do it. Lean over a desk and the screen cops the pressure and could crack. No thanks!)

(sidenote: my iphone never unlocked itself, EVER, the power button needed more force, and the slide motion of unlocking could never be done by legrubbing)
[Desire General] Laban:
For me the number one reason is Gingerbread. I'm happy with the stock ROM and adding customizations is not that necessary (if thou I like it).

But when Gingerbread arrives (Android 3.0) I don't think that HTC will offer it to desire users and then, if I'm rooted, I hope that there will be custom ROMs taking Gingerbread to my Desire.
[Desire General] patp:
How do you do this? I also think it's stupid and have the same problem answering calls as I take it out of my jeans (people who wear loose pants might not have this issue).
[Desire General] chichoko:
How is it possible for a capacitive touch screen to get rubbed by jeans and pick up a touch motion?? Arent capacitive screens made only to register contacts from our fingers only? No matter how hard i tried i could never answer a call with something other than my hands.. i just cant understand those discussions.. unless im mistaken ofcourse and a capacitive screen can register touches from other things aswell.. someone enlighten me please?

[Desire General] kekkle:
I solved this problem by setting a lockpattern. Since then. I've never 'pocket-dialed' anymore.
[Desire General] aindow:
I just use the official HTC leather pouch, it cost me about £9 off ebay for a genuine leather one and it works really well at protecting the phone and also prevents "pocket dialling".
[Desire General] martintzvetomirov:
I agree with the argument about Gingerbread and if HTC don't release it for the Desire, I will surely root it as well :) But till then I personally find no benefit in rooting it.
[Desire General] Spook77:
But if you install official froyo you might not be able to root again
[Desire General] Lukehluke:
There are not that many reasons to root it on 2.1 either.

haha, I love the tension when phone is rebooting after successfull flash, and I'm waiting to see if everything went fine or I'm stucked in a boot loop :D

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FunkyFender:
Strange. I've never gotten notifications that popups had been blocked (as is the case when they are) nor did I get any in a quick spin around the site with ABP off.

Hi all,

My phone have shutdown when low battery. And I have swip "battery setting" in Recovery mode. Then my phone can't start again. I have charged it overnight, but I can startup my phone now.

I can't access to fastboot, too.

Please, help me.

Thank you very much.
[HD2 General] pgriffith:
Hi guys

pretty sure my HD2 has partially died, I can't get it to charge and it's not recognised by any PC at all. Tried different verified to work cables etc etc.

Battery still has some charge, but it's fast approaching zero.

I don't even get an orange charge light when the phone is completely off.

My question is this, currently has an Energy ROM on it. If I flash the official Telstra ROM back to it (using a friends battery) will it also replace the HARD SPL with the stock SPL (1.66 I think it was) or do I need to do that separately ?

Any replies would be great, need to organise getting it sent back tomorrow, time is of the essence, only owned it 6 days :(
[HD2 General] fred_up:
If you use the flash from the microSD card method, that will overwrite everything (SPL, ROM & Radio).

Just make sure that you have a fully charged battery.
[HD2 General] UMBRA9:
tried another cable yet?
[HD2 General] CPA:
can I suggest you buy a new battery with and external charger before you brick your phone- you can keep your ROM:

[HD2 General] pgriffith:
Thanks for the responses guys.

Thanks fred_up, I have copied the ROM to an SD and I'll flash that way.

UMBRA9, yep, tried a few, and my cable works fine with a friends HD2.

CPA.... I have a battery and charger on the way already. But I'm going to use my friends HD2 to either

(a) charge my battery and then return mine to stock or

(b) use his battery in mine to do the flash. Will also be making sure my battery charges in his phone.

I'm pretty sure at this stage that it is indeed hardware. Because even when it is switched off it should get an orange charge light, regardless of what ROM is installed or even if the memory was blank after a Task29
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PUTALE:
hi, I have a quick question. If my phone is locked and someone call me, is there way that I can have the keypad working when I pick the phone call without unlocking the screen? I did a quick search and could not find such option.

E-Mail and Lock

When I lock my Tilt 2 I still get my phone calls through my Bluetooth. I can even see who is calling on the phone. But I cannot get any e-mails when the phone keyboard is locked. I have my phone in a belt case all the time being I am out and about in the construction site I am running.

Is there any way to get the e-mails while the keyboard is locked?

[EVO 4G General] Borg1982:
The hype made me think this was going to be god. And it only makes my phone 5% faster (NOT 6 times faster) and barely added anything at all.
[EVO 4G General] jzajzz:
Well you have to remember ....that fryo allows APPS to be faster.... not the rom itself.... the rom might be faster bit thats not what the hype was about...if the apps have not been updated with the froyo sdk.. they wont be faster... and many apps have yet to do that
[EVO 4G General] jzajzz:
By the way .. i just downloaded the aloqa app... and its so fast that i think its done with the froyo sdk

[EVO 4G General] stangdriverdoug:
I'll give it 5 stars because I have a girl friend to do that for me at night lol.

Sent from my EVO running Fresh
[EVO 4G General] superlinkx:
App speed increases are mostly due to the JIT compiler, which works in all apps. It basically makes all code run about 5 or 6 times faster than 2.1 did. If you aren't seeing a speed increase, try doing a factory reset. Really, the update should have required one, since a lot of people are seeing speed issues and browser crashes. After the reset, see if it flies! Mine does, and flash is running pretty great too!
[EVO 4G General] goldt:
Updated last night without a hard reset, not sure why it didn't do that, but should we all hard reset our phones anyway?
[EVO 4G General] pecosROB:
I gave it 5 stars - going from screen to screen is smoother and butterier... if that's even a word.

I definitely noticed apps run smoother and battery life is greatly improved. It wasn't terrible for me (anywhere from 12-30 hrs depending on what settings I used) but so far instead of 5-10% discharge per hour it's about half that at 5-10% every 2 hours.

FWIW I charge mine turned off at night to avoid leakage.
[EVO 4G General] redrazr7791:
Easily a 5

Keyboard is now multitouch, Bluetooth is fully functional, applications run a lot faster, system speed is faster and battery life has greatly increased.

Something tells me that the ones that are complaining, are the same people who demanded FroYo to be released weeks ago. The major overhaul is rumored to be with gingerbread.
[EVO 4G General] nhutpham:
I love everything about the new froyo update except for the video, I don't feel like there were really any improvements in video quality, save for adding h.264 encoding which didn't include 720p. I do believe this will be fixed in the future, and they did at least give us a bone to chew on, with h.264 and the led recording, but I can't say I wasn't left wanting.

I do have to say the manner in which this was all delivered bodes well for sprint and htc. They are trying to improve usability and deliver on what has been an ambitiously featured phone on release. They bring us the updates on time, with no empty promises. It feels like they are trying to build a loyal customer base, and not just getting us to buy their phone and forget about us. I appreciate this effort.
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
If i could get my 3G to run as fast as it used to I would be pleased :(.
[EVO 4G General] treschie:
the keyboard seems really sluggish to me, now. I'll be typing and sometimes it'll take a few seconds for it to "catch up." Furthermore, the haptic feedback lags and is not in sync with my taps like it used to be.

I've also noticed other little issues with the touch screen, similar to the initial "dry skin" problems when the phone was first released, which they said they were going to fix with a software update. I'm not sure if they fixed it, but I hadn't had any problems with it in awhile, and this morning I've had some inconsistent results on the screen. Maybe their tweak was undone?

So, so far Froyo seems cool, my game runs SUPER smooth, but the keyboard performance is absolutely miserable. Anyone else have this issue?

EDIT: Upon further testing, the slowness seemed to be a hiccup. I can type on it very fast and it seems slightly more accurate, probably due to the multi-touch thing (is this true? I didn't see reports of multi-touch keyboard in any of the update lists). However, the haptic feedback is still really rough, and if I'm typing fast it just kinda studders about, generating lots of bumbling buzzing instead of concise "clicks." This is made somewhat more annoying due to the fact that on my phone something inside is not quite 100% sturdy and the vibrator tends to cause something to click/rattle in the frame.
[EVO 4G General] DraginMagik:
- much faster than 2.1

- better Enterprise support for Exchange

- ability to assign one notification for Exchange, one notification for Gmail, one for phone texting, one for meebo, etc... = HUGE improvement over 2.1 (at least when I'm the guy on call for the week)
[EVO 4G General] LearnIIBurn:
I noticed this as well. Typing can take some time to catch up.

Otherwise love the update and everything feels snappier. I really like the HTC flashlight, its pretty slick.
[EVO 4G General] pecosROB:
Yes, everything definitely feels snappier! I use Swype so I don't really know what the lag is like... I do remember trying out the multitouch (and seeing that it IS easier to type with two thumbs now) and did notice a bit of lag but wasn't sure if it was consistent or just some of the words I was typing or whatever.

Edit:

Oh and I forgot to add something. Was anyone else blindsided with Sprint basically saying, "oh hey, btw, EVO owners, you know, you sons of *****es that kept this company afloat because we finally brought a badass phone stateside, y'all are gonna get FroYo before everyone else, even though they kept yapping like the Droid2 and DroidX would get the update first and that we were going to leave you stranded like the Hero"???

I was. I didn't hear any whispers of the 2.2 update from the various blogs that people here read... until all of a sudden less than week ago (was it Wednesday or Thursday?) Sprint tells us the good news.

So right now, Sprint is EXCELLENT in my book. But that's for now, things could change.
[EVO 4G General] ronnienyc:
Start over

Borg, this poll means nothing until you state whether 1 is high or low.I would start over with the above info at the top. People coming in hastily will see the number one at a glance and select it even if they meant 5 stars. ;-) Especially since usually the highest rating is the top choice, not at the bottom. (IMHO)
[EVO 4G General] pecosROB:
Good point... that thought didn't cross my mind at all.

But I voted 5 stars based on 5 meaning the best. I think saying "vote 1-5" would be very ambiguous as to which is good and bad, but 1-5 stars I usually take to mean 1 star being bad. Isn't that how the thread ratings work around here? I voted for a 5 star rating on this thread.

Oh yeah, that was me.
[EVO 4G General] ort84:

It's a much smoother UI than 2.1, love froyo but ever since I heard gingerbread will be out this fall (2010) I just got my mind on 3.0, sorry I just can't help it...
[EVO 4G General] Borg1982:
I think everyone knows that 1 star is the same as rating a movie 1 out of 5 stars. And 5 stars is the best.
[EVO 4G General] uvgd4824:
Ugh. Am I the only one who had their battery life go to hell with this update, in addition to having my Google Apps push email stop working? :(

I'm used to being able to go a full day or day and a half without needing to charge. Yesterday, even with *very* light usage, the battery died in 12 hours and seems to be on track to do the same again today.

And it seems that the push email issue is somewhat wide-spread and not limited to the EVO (although it may be an HTC issue according to a post by a Googler - search google's android support forums for a thread titled "Gmail PUSH second google account broken since froyo")

I voted a two despite being tempted to vote one. For the brief duration the battery now lasts, Sense seems snappier, and I can *finally* sync multiple gmail calendars without having to jump through asinine hoops to do so...
[EVO 4G General] ritzbrie:
My battery life suffered a little bit. After redoing some of my settings, everything is A-OK.

There are two great things about Froyo.

1) I can FINALLY see GIFs and writing on pictures aren't compressed and unreadable, and

2) Since I updated, the screen orients any which way I turn it. I didn't see that in 2.1. Also, the screen orientation is a lot smoother and sexier.
[EVO 4G General] ilovemytilt1:
I give it 5 stars maybe its because I'm using CM6 and I can tether without apps or maybe it is because my linpack scores are actually out of the single digits. Haven't tried quadrant on 2.1 but I'm faster than a nexus one on 2.2 I know that much
[EVO 4G General] leebo:
4 Stars. I do really like it, but I had to un-install then re-install Swype. Also, today my phone re-booted on it's own.

My favorite new features so far: the screen orients four ways now, Bluetooth dialing, and the flashlight! Oh, PIN locking too.:)

Htc sense froyo 3. Cyan froyo 4. Other dev's froyos (I'm not going to throw names under the bus because each one is made with a theme or specific purpose in mind) 3.5. I thought running sense would be cool, but after the newness wore off, I started ripping out sense stuff to try and trim down the fat.

Havent noticed a whole lot of difference but I also haven't had time to dig around much.

I did lose the use of my multi-touch keyboard which I absolutely loved. Not sure if there is a version that will work that I can get my hands on.

~ Transmitted via Motorola Droid ~
[EVO 4G General] uvgd4824:
So it seems like the updated 4G radio is the culprit in this case. I have marginal 4G service at work, with the phone going back and forth between no 4G signal, and 4G signal with zero bars (with a rare single bar sighting thrown in there just for excitement). Stock 2.1 didn't have any problems with this, but it seems the EVO's 2.2 radio "enhancements" mean burning through a battery struggling to try to get service.

I disabled 4G, and the phone is draining the battery back at it's pre-Froyo rate, even with heavier use today than on the past couple days. Bummer about having to disable the 4G radio, but I guess in spots where I generally have 4G, I also have WiFi anyway. :rolleyes:

I know if I turn 4G on, I'll probably forget to turn it off, then be stuck with a dead phone, so I'll just live without it until Sprint extends its 4G network's reach to better cover where I spend much of my time...

No issues at all.

Great Rom (5 Stars)
[EVO 4G General] the_hustleman:
I like froyo, I've tried numerous ROMs on here where people are claiming these AMAZING, IN-****ing-CREDIBLE battery lives (24+ hours wtf?) then I realize it's because they're not really using the phone (ever notice the idle/standby time is ALWAYS a HUUUGE percentage on those screen shots posted of those exceptional battery lives?), but with NORMAL USAGE, I was getting between 7 and 8 hours before the battery just died off, but right now I'm at like 9 hours and 8 minutes with froyo. Still not plugged in.

No complaints here, but I am upset about wireless tether not working, so I definitely give it a 3 star rating for that.
