Fastboot is, IMO, the most reliable way to flash a radio. I would rather not leave a brickable upgrade/downgrade up to a script, but that's just my paranoia kicking in. lol.

I have noticed a significant boost in my reception after flashing the 5.08 radio, I used to never get a scent of service in my house, now I'm seeing bars!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengtze:
Just updated to 5.08. Much better reception now.

Waiting For New Release Of Windows Mobile.

It`s Windows Phone 7.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Tribulattifather:
Here's the sad but inevitable truth: Our Wings and Heralds/Dopods -=the HTC P4350's and P P4351's=- Will never have an upgrade past where they are at now.

But if you want to get the latest Updated Windows version you can try my ROMs that say Windows Mobile 6.5.5.

And if you would like to see what could possibly be Windows Phone 7 on your device, you can try my Windows Phone 7 link below in my Sig:

Does everybody's vibrant heat up like crazy when they are charging their vibrant?
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
yes I have two of them and they get pretty hot ( you can feel it in the back side underneath speaker)
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
Mine as well gets hot but it doesnt happen all the time. It's charging right now and it isnt doing it. Weird...
[Vibrant General] briguydj32:
it usually won't get hot unless you're USING it while it's charging.
[Vibrant General] Blah man:
Mine used to go up to 116 degrees while charging, but them I swapped it out and my new one barely goes past 95
[Vibrant General] SamsungGalaxySVibrant:
Yes mine gets very hot also. How do you know your phones temperature? Theres a temp guage built into the phone?
[Vibrant General] fragimar:
Play Sims while charging. That's how I'm planning on keeping warm this winter. Oh wait, Sims keeps crashing now...

[Vibrant General] DaveNavy:
Try disabling the Wi-Fi and GPS while charging it....Seems to stay cool when I do this on mine.
[Vibrant General] gTen:
When using up a lot of energy and charging at the same time it causes the heat...this is one of the problem with the current battery tech :/..

from experience with other phones..wifi + charging = hot as hell..if you really must use wifi while charging for say tethering then I suggest putting it on a metal surface(which will act as a heatsink in a way) and it won't get hot.
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:
I'm from down south.. And mine sits at 110... seen it at 115 before... Ive never had another phone get as hot..
[Vibrant General] techspy:
I noticed this as well too. Seems that it is more noticable if you put in on charging soon after using wifi/gps intensive apps. Maybe they stay on longer when it sees it is on ac power? I even had one point where after over an hour charging there was no noticable gain in battery charge. I imagine it was using so much power that little was left to actually charge the battery. In all cases, a reboot fixed the issue and it charged quickly with little increase in temp.

Kinda remides me of my previous windows mobile phones. Sometimes an app would "hang" even though there was no error message and the app appeared to close down fine, I would notice my battery would be used quickly and the phone would be very warm. Usually it was an app that used wifi or gps that caused the issue. Maybe the app crashed before giving a "release command" or similar to the hardware and it kept on running at full power?
[Vibrant General] P-Unit87:
It happened to me twice. My phone went past all of yours. It got to temp of 143F. It was really hot all over the phone. I had to turn it off and take out the battery for it to cool down. It wouldn't even let me charge it cus it was too hot when the phone was off. I woke up to 18% battery charge after 7 hours of charging. It said that the display was using most of the batteries. I believe when you plug in your phone, i noticed a change in the brightness setting and i dont have automatic brightness enable. Now i make sure i fc everything before i charge and the brightness is at 0.
[Vibrant General] Blah man:
I use battery life from the market, also the phone had a temp gauge but to access it I use the "my device" app from tmobile > storage and battery > battery level

My phone only gets seriously hot, 122 degrees, while using the gps on full brightness
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
Normal. Remember different phone and different processor .... winter they should be cooler even while charging.
[Nexus One Accessories] jamezracer:
I was wondering if anyone had tried a2dp with their nexus and this head unit. I'm about to pull the trigger on one but will hold back if there are any problems reported.

P.S. I know there is a head unit thread but I want to keep that as a list of confirmed working units as opposed to a flood of questions like this.
[Nexus One Accessories] MKVFTW:
I would venture a guess that it will be fine. I would check over at vwvortex (dot) com
[Nexus One Accessories] jamezracer:
I'm guessing it will be fine too since i have yet to encounter an a2dp device that doesn't work great with proper reception.

I am actually a member of vwvortex and the consensus over there is that the a2dp audio quality is crap on this head unit. But the only people who have claimed this are iphone 3gs users and i'm %95 sure the iphone only supports very low bitrate audio streams. I've asked for people with smartphones to chime in but there is no response as off yet.

If all else fails there is the aux input socket. If a2dp actually works well I will add this to the headunit thread.

[Desire Themes and Apps] dougsdir:
just upgrade to an official froyo ROM but on my previous ROM (Leedroid 1.6), i had google maps installed and there was an icon in Programs called "Places" where i could search for nearby petrol stations, supermarkets, pubs etc.

Ive installed the latest Google maps on my new ROM but i dont have the Places icon.

In the Market when i search for Places it has Google Maps as the first selection.

any ideas how i can get this app back?
[Desire Themes and Apps] liamstears:
Try removing maps then reinstalling from market....
[Desire Themes and Apps] gerome5095:
I had the Same problem just restarted my phone and it was there.
[HD2 General] Meishe91:
Ok, first off I would like to say I am new here and do enjoy what I've seen around here. It is all very nice and I very appreciate the work that has gone into this phone and such.

Ok, my issue, or issues, is this. I recently just flashed the Energy.Leo.21991.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jul.24 (I believe, I'm not sure if the date is correct but that's the date it says under "ROM date"). I've really enjoyed the ROM except I have been having a few issues with SMS. Like sometimes when it says I'm typing with T9 it will act like it is just doing ABC mode. Sometimes I will click out of the keyboard and it will just clear the message. The keyboard will randomly get sensitivity issues (like sometimes it won't hit keys, sometimes it will hit more than intended, etc.). I don't think this last one is a SMS issue thing (but I don't know since I don't talk on it very much) but my connection seems to go away a lot, or "go away" and I have to resend messages a lot. I don't know if that last one would be a Radio issue or not.

I don't know exactly what information I should provide but I'll just put a couple things that I've seen commonly posted for now:

ROM version: 24.Jul.2010 WWE (the ROM is the Energy.Leo.21991.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jul.24, as stated)

Radio version: 2.10.50.26

I wanted to ask you guys first since I'm not the expert at this. What I was going to do is backup everything, Task29 (though I need to find out all the info about it first, haven't seen much, just that it's a good thing to do), flash the new August 1[sup]st[/sup] version of Energy, and hard-reset. I wasn't however sure if I should flash a different Radio, and if I should I don't know how exactly (if someone could point me to a thread that would be great; the only one I could find is the Radio thread where they all are, not how to do it though but I could have missed it). If I should flash my Radio, which would you guys advise?

Thank you anyone who can help with this, it is very appreciated. If this has been posted somewhere I am sorry for bringing it up again. I looked and just couldn't find anything.

Also, just a side note type thing that isn't really related (just don't want to have to start another thread really). I'm relatively new to the whole programming/development scene and would like to know more about all of this. I do plan to look into the Windows Mobile Development and Hacking sub-forum and find out what I can there, but I was just curious what you guys would suggest and such and where a good place to start would be. Thanks again for any information on this subject as well.

Again, thank you anyone who can help with anything :)

Hi All

I wonder does anyone noticed that when reading sms on my legend. I could not see the latest sms on top. if you have more than 100 sms from one contact you have to scroll down in order to see the newest sms. Any solution for that issue. Please Help me!!
[Legend General] KK43:
Everyone who updated the phone software recently is having this issue, very annoying...
[Legend General] liltbrockie:
I switched to handcent messaging... it is a very decent alternative and it shows the last message on top.

I also installed handcent but when ı read the sms the notification remains on the bar.
[Legend General] Conan1986:
realized that problem after reading this thread. the problem exist with the default SMS application.. I recently changed to Handcent and it isn't affected by that.. plus Handcent is pretty nice and all

@lifeis, have you disabled the notification option for your default SMS application? you have to do that to let Handcent "take over" the default one

SMS-Threaded-Issue Suggestions

I really like the look of the native SMS app that comes with the phone. However, it misplaces the threaded sms.

HTC support is as sh!tty as it is. I sent them bunch emails, their final answer is "sending in the phone for repair".

Anyways, around April - May 2010, I tried Handcent & ChompSMS. I chose Handcent. The app was good & all, then the updates, then now lots of force-closes. So I switched back to the native app & learned to live with it.

The problem of the native app is that it SLOWS tremendously, especially if you have so many conversations with so many people.

My final solution is the purchase of the Desire (giving the missy my Legend).

With the Desire's Eclair 2.1-update1, the native SMS app STILL suffers from the same problem of the Legend. However, the lag is zero. INSTANTANEOUSLY.. I was VERY CONTENT.

My Desire is recently updated to Froyo 2.2 & it fixes the threaded sms misplace. So, I'm EXTREMELY content now.

So, my recommendation is:

1. Try to live with the native app & wait for Froyo 2.2

2. Try Handcent & ChompSMS & pick your preference.

3. Get the Desire & you'll be as happy as a kid in the candy store.
[Legend General] krasenk:
That's the answer that I got from HTC:

Thank you for contacting us, We apologize for the delay in answering your email, Kindly be informed that currently there is no way to change the sorting of your messages. There may be 3rd party applications that can solve your problem, and you can try searching the market for applications that match your needs. Please note that we are currently analyzing this issue and will determine if this will be addressed in a possible future update. As for the Froyo upgrade, we expect to release updates for several of our 2010 models including Legend and Wildfire during Q3.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave7802:
So i take it 9/10 people on here,

Have

A: A rooted Phone

B: De-branded

C: Custom ROM

D: Mods,

So if you all have the Froyo 2.2 from a Custom Rom, Why have the forums flooded with the launch of 2.2

Is it not as rubbish as every release by any company that releases updates,

Buggy, slow and lack of improvements and have to wait another year for an official update

Or is it better than half of the Custom Roms out there,

And again i take it its all Sence UI?

As my Understanding there was two different ones, Sence UI and Froyo ?

But Froyo Official looks like Sence UI (Now am Confused)

So i Suppose the question to ask really would be,

Have you been on any Custom ROM and Moved to the Official Froyo 2.2

Any Improvement,

What ROM where you on before, Defrost, OpenDesire DJDroid Etc....

and on the Speed test does it come up on top or far from it

(Quadrant)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelvintan:
Froyo is codename for Android 2.2

Sense UI is HTC widget for it's phone which is on top of Froyo.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fred Newman:
My phone isnt rooted at the moment but i will maybe do so in the future. I like using cooked roms on my phone i had lots of fun with my tytn 2. However the phone appears more responsive using froyo and i like the apps to sd option, that was the only drawback of this phone compared to my previous one.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BelgianAtheist:
An official rom from the company that actually made the phone and presumably has a team of paid developers/testers is more likely to be less buggy than a custom rom made by one enthusiastic unpaid fan, tested by novice unpaid users.

With my Windows phone things were different, there was almost no official work being done and the custom roms were better and gave more than any official release did so I installed a custom rom about a month after I bought the Touch HD.

I have not felt the need to root my Desire yet, Apps2SD almost did it for me but since it is in 2.2 there is no reason anymore, I think your 9/10 people statistic is not realistic for the HTC Desire users.

I'm on XDA now for things like the HTC IME Mod Keyboard with Voice Input :D
[Desire General] Aitese:
I decided to wait to see the lay of the land instead of diving in for the OTA update, and after seeing all the issues people had with the Market and then not being able to gain root access and green cameras amongst other things, I'm glad I did.

So now I believe it's safe. I'm already running Pay's 2.2 with Sense, but a few things don't work in it so I'd like to go to the official HTC build...problem is every chef has to ADD their own little flair to every ROM they release. I don't want extras or Arabic or Chinese or edited host files or to have half the apps removed or random dev apps added. I just want the exact ROM released by HTC, but rooted.

I can't find it community..maybe because I'm stupid. Can you help?

[UPDATE]

Found exactly what I was after at last:

[Desire General] Tyler1981:
+1 As well. I would like to flash a simple stock ROM that has all the HTC bloatware removed. I don't do stocks, facebook, twitter and so on but haven't found nothing yet. I guess the Devs need to to disect the official ROM, a bit more waiting then.

I guess i better start looking into rooting my Desire via Unrevoked to enable me to flash the ROM when it becomes available.
[Desire General] Aitese:
From what I've seen you can get that sort of thing easily. It's the reverse I was actually looking for. I DO use most of the stuff HTC ship with their build, apart from Teeter and Plurk, but every ROM I've seen goes to the pains of removing almost everything I use!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coriron:
I'm pretty confused at the moment about the differences between stock froyo a2sd, A2SD+ and 'old A2SD+'. so far from what i'm seeing, using A2SD+ seems to be the best idea, but i'm not sure why this is better, or how to install it as there seem to be tons of different ways.

1. Which one should i use

2. How do you partition your SD card

3. what is this all about ext 2,3,4?

4. Can i set up the partitions using the clockwork mod recovery or rom manager? and how.

Just Sorry if this is repeated else where but i've found it pretty hard to find what i'm looking for (yes even using the search function)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougsdir:
I'd also like to know the answer to this, especially q3

i partitioned my sd card using Rom Manager but i didnt get an option for Ext 2/3/4 when i installed LeeDroid 1.6.

Seems like the new Froyo Roms say Ext 4 is the way to go.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcbi4kh2:
I too would like to know this.

Also, do I need to format into partitions before / during / after flashing a ROM?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloosteak:
I can't partition with ROM Manager at all. It reboots into clockwork recovery mod, and it says

Finding update package Finding update package update package... E:failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (Invalid argument) I:verify_file returned 1 E:signature verification failed Installation aborted.

edit: fixed by nandroid restoring back to 2.1 and trying again
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesirableHTC:
1. A2SD+ is probs the best to use

2. create ext2/3/4 within ROM manager

3. the extension is a portion of your sd card to store your apps i dont know the difference between the 3 but essentially you create the ext2/3/4 so your apps can be forced to the sd card, the froyo apps2sd is designed for apps that are coded to go on the sd card, the Dev of the app has to make it able to run on an sd card. that's why on some apps, you will see the option to move to sd card is shaded out, that is because the Dev has not coded that particular app to run on the sd card

4. see #2

hope this helps
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coriron:
If i create the partitions in Rom Manager, does this create ext 2/3 and 4? what partitions size / swap etc settings should i use? I have a 4gb card so what ever is best really for that?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougsdir:
In ROM Manager if you Select "Partition SD card" in Utilities, you pick the size etc but you dont get to pick Ext 2, 3 or 4, does this matter?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coriron:
@neoKushan Thank you very much. I understand the theory behind it a lot better now. Didn't actually realize EXT was a kind of file system so it makes a lot more sense now. So seemingly Apps2SD/+ is a lot better than the froyo (in certain situations). What is the best method to partition your sd card and install Apps2SD+? I think i've seen that a lot of the ROMS now will install the Apps2SD+ for you if you have partitioned your SD card, so i'm guessing thats the only step i need to take.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoKushan:
As far as I have seen, all of the recoveries out there have a way to partition the SD card. So AmunRA's or ClockworkMOD's (ROM Manager).

My personal preference is ROM Manager as it's very easy to do from the GUI.

Word of Warning, though: Partitioning your SD WILL DELETE ALL DATA ON IT!

Do what I did: Copy the contents of your SD card to your PC, partition the SD card, then copy the contents back.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougsdir:
thanks, that is superb! thanks for taking the time to type it up

this should be posted in the faqs section as it will might stop a lot of these recurring threads

one other question, some ROMs ask you to wipe your Ext partition, where do you do this ?

If i reboot to ClockworkMod Recovery there is a Wipe cache Partition, is this it?

thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcbi4kh2:
@neoKusha

Top post! Thanks very much.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chipyy:
So if you're using A2SD+, do the "move to phone" and "move to SD card" buttons actually do anything or are they just left there from legacy A2SD? And what does the "Auto" setting of ModInstallLocation actually do? How does it decide whether to install to internal or external?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoKushan:
Move to SD would still work, all it would do is move from the ext partition on the SD card to the FAT32 partition (in the .android_secure folder).
