[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LazyFunker:
Hello, I just tried to root my desire, I created a goldcard, and was about to downgrade, but then, all of a sudden when it had found the image file, and got to the bootloader update thing, the phone shut itself off.

Please help?

And this is my very first time rooting android...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LazyFunker:
It seems like the screen have died, even tho I don't have the SLCD version.

When I plug it in without the batter it seems like it's booting :S

Now the charging light is first blinking orange one time, then green, and goes like that
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LazyFunker:
I'm pretty sure it's not bricked now, but the screen is completely dead... :(

Please help!

So my problem now is to enable the debugging, but I think I disabled the HTC Sync, will this affect it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LazyFunker:
Someone please help? I'm about to send it into service/repair

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teppic74:
You shouldn't have downgraded a phone with an SLCD display.

The phone is not bricked, the display just isn't working because the software you put on is too old.

You can recover by installing the official Froyo RUU, though this will stop you from rooting.

[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
10/23/2010 edit: I no longer recommend these cases. Neat idea, but they just don't last. If you want a thin case I'd go pure TPU. Personally I'm now using the Otterbox Commuter and not looking back. Excellent case.

Just ordered these 2 bad bays... they are called hybrid cases. found the link in another thread here on XDA. The back is made out of hard Poly Carb and the sides are made out of soft TPU. I picked em up on ebay... so what do you guys think? i'm pretty pleased. the TPU is very soft so the buttons are very very easy to press compared to other TPU cases I've used. Only problem I see is the PC back will probably scratch up quicker then a full TPU case would. The white & clear makes the white evo look how HTC should of made it look. kinda strange that they made the sides black on the white evo.

White & Clear Hybrid

Blue & Clear Hybrid (sorry, out of focus)
[EVO 4G Accessories] whatsitsnamenow:
Very nice. How tight is the fit? Will the case come off if I slide the phone in my back jean pocket?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Joey SR:
Very nice. Mine should be here tomorrow. I love white cases.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SonicEvo:
Yes these are VERY nice cases! I just got mine in the mail last week. Ordered from Ebay Store Monster Accessories. The Cool part is... if you take off your original cover.. then you get all red!! Its pretty nice!
[EVO 4G Accessories] timtlm:
Looks good. Glad the buttons are easy to press. I ordered a black with smoke back that should be here any day.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
definitely not. that's the only down side to the case so far actually, its not the easiest to take off.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
like so?

looks pretty good! i think i like it with the white better though. I hope the Poly Carb back doesn't scratch up my battery cover, I've only used TPU before and that's too soft to scratch a phone, but PC definitely could. I'll keep my eye on it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] whatsitsnamenow:
And you have no problems with the power or volume button? My frosted white TPU from evocase was great except for the button problem. Its just too hard to press. Also can you give a link so I could order the correct one. Many thanks.

:D
[EVO 4G Accessories] damian00976:
sorry to ask but how much did it cost you?

mines cost 8.95 free shiping because after i saw this thread i looked on ebay and there where very expensive.

the link i bought it from is this one http://cgi.ebay.com/CLEAR-White-Sof...30415250927?pt=PDA_Accessories#ht_2989wt_1137
[EVO 4G Accessories] Tower1972:
Be careful with these.. I have the clear/white model shown at the top. 2 days after geting them, there are stress cracks by the hole for the camera and the speaker. I called daydeal to rma and return then figured out its not worth it and just keep the one I got
[EVO 4G Accessories] majorbro:
just ordered mine, looks like exactly what im lookin for. :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] Fiireball32:
Juss. Order this case from the same site these are gorgeous... can wait till it comes

Man that's just ugly! What's wrong with just black?
[EVO 4G Accessories] noah2383:
Just an FYI, daydeal.com has an ebay store as well and you can save around 2-4 by buying from there instead. I just got the hybrid red and clear case for $9.50.

stores.ebay.com/daydealdaydeal <-- not a typo
[EVO 4G Accessories] skittlesV1:
does this case protect the cammera lens?
[EVO 4G Accessories] I[E:
Trying to decide between this or a full TPU case to replace the Innocase II.

Any idea how this case would fit in the Innocase holster?
[EVO 4G Accessories] timtlm:
Got mine with the black border and smoke back today. Overall I am very pleased. Pressing the power and volume buttons is as easy if not easier than without a case at all. I love the look because you can see the HTC and sprint logos through the back. It will likely scratch easier though. The biggest downside is it's not as snug around the sides as I would like. Specifically I have a bulge on the upper left side that doesn't fit snug against the side. Could be just the one I got though.
[EVO 4G Accessories] scl23enn4m3:
Can anyone confirm this fitment on theirs?
[EVO 4G Accessories] akastixx:
I got a clear on clear and the fit is great. it fits snugly, camera is recessed, kickstand has a 1 mm border unprotected, but its not a dealbreaker. i didnt want the kind without the individual speaker/flash/camera cutouts. this one has them. i also didn't want one of the kind with the diamond pattern. i like this case a lot. Purchased Friday, recvd Monday. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400143134032

4.99 free shipping.

***Note - I am not a case fan, but I'm a klutz. My requirement was a 100% clear, non bulky case. I searched for over an hour and my choices were out of the one i got, and a 100% clear all TPU case. I feel that maybe the all tpu would have fared better in a drop. (This is the closest I could find to what I wanted... not 100% clear but close, with individual cutouts http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Evo-Flexi-Skin-Case/dp/B003X6BVX8/ref=sr_1_47?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1281690779&sr=1-47) I love my case, and in the end I think it looks less cheap than the 100% TPU.***
[EVO 4G Accessories] skbgiants:
Hybrid case

All I know is that my Innocase II Blows! It's loose and a bit bulky. I think I'm going to test drive one of these. Oh..and I paid freaking 26 bucks for the Seido!
[EVO 4G Accessories] piry525:
I hear that about 2 weeks after getting the innocase it started getting very loose as to wear pushing on the sides would make creaking noises
[EVO 4G Accessories] whatsitsnamenow:
Is this one also with hard plastic on the back and tpu on the edges? Are the power and volume button easy to press? I already order hybrid tpu and it works perfect but at $10 shipped. Yours is definitely cheaper if it is the same kind of case.
[EVO 4G Accessories] sanjsrik:
Excellent case

I bought one of these, shipping was free and it showed up amazingly fast. I put the thing on after taking off the clear hard case I had on there previously. The case is amazing. My only regret is the white around the border, wish that was clear. Otherwise, I am amazingly happy with it. I don't have a back battery cover so I can show off the red battery back. It's sturdy, not at all flimsy.

I know that some have complained that pressing the power button was more difficult, I find it a LOT LOT LOT LOT better. I have to exert almost no pressure to turn the device on and off. It really made using all the buttons better. Maybe the company heard the comlpaints and made some adjustments. Dunno, but it's a really great case.

Cheap and functional, nice investment.
[EVO 4G Accessories] whatsitsnamenow:
Thats because they are talking about a different kind of TPU case such as this one. They are 100 percent TPU and its also a little thicker. The newer hybrid ones have a hard plastic in the back so not bendable. Also notice how the newer hybrid TPU case have dimples on the place where they would contact the buttons but the old TPU case doesn't.

old one

old one

newer one
[EVO 4G Accessories] sanjsrik:
Well, whoo hoo, lucky a$$ me then.
[EVO 4G Accessories] akastixx:
Yes and yes. Exactly like post 1, but with a clear border.

You should have read my post... they have clear ones. Mine has the dimples. I'm glad you like the one you have otherwise.
[EVO 4G Accessories] sanjsrik:
Question, on the page where this is asvertised it states the following:

Does that mean it's a two-piece case or a single piece case? I've had bad experiences with the two-piece cases popping off if you drop them, well, drop-off and break.
[EVO 4G Accessories] akastixx:
nope. it is just like the 1st post. hard plastic backing shoved in a soft plastic rectangle.
[EVO 4G Accessories] notoriouspyro:
Nice... Just got on the bandwagon too.... Bought a purple one for my moms and a blue/clear for mine. I have the di-noc carbon fiber battery door so can't wait to actually see that poking through now....
[EVO 4G Accessories] ninjoe8:
careful with the white and clear hybrid. after constantly putting it in and out of my jeans pocket, the blue of my jeans started to rub off onto the TPU. Great looking case, just not perfect. i'm sticking with the clear Argyle one i bought from the same company.
[EVO 4G Accessories] 1wingangel:
Just ordered one from daydeal, how long does shipping take?
[EVO 4G Accessories] ritzbrie:
I swear, I have zero luck with cases. I ordered one, first I received the wrong case. I just got the correct one and the glue that holds the soft TPU to the PC wasn't sticking.
[EVO 4G Accessories] akastixx:
Mine does not have or need glue... strange.

Sorry to hear that.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ritzbrie:
What? How is the PC held to the TPU then?
[EVO 4G Accessories] akastixx:
Ok, sorry about that. There is glue on the top 1/4 of the case (top of the volume up button and up), but there has never been any below that, and even if there wasn't, the PC is larger than the TPU.
[EVO 4G Accessories] IamLugo:
A few Hybrid TPU Cases I picked up...

Big thanks to the OP for making me aware of these cases. Excellent build quality IMHO. Very affordable!! And I feel confident my phone will be protected and the case fits like a glove. will not come off on a fall. Never was a case guy but I saw these and had to jump on them. Real Clean, real nice. Decided I would get a few the first time around and see where it goes from there. Anyway here are a few pics of other styles.

White/Clear (same as op)

Red/Clear

When i ordered off ebay it took about 5 days to get mine. Not bad for me, considering that was from California to Florida
[EVO 4G Accessories] sanjsrik:
I have the white one, had it now for about a month, the white becomes completely yellow and dingy looking.

Just for anyone who is interested in buying one of these. VERY yellow and dingy.
[EVO 4G Accessories] superm1:
I'm a little confused. Some people here were saying they're going without battery doors with these cases. Do they still fit without a battery door on, or are you guys doing something like a clear battery door?

I think it would look badass to get the red side and clear back to show off the red battery personally.
[EVO 4G Accessories] knives of ice:
I absolutely hated this case. the rubbery side ripped away from the hard plastic within days of purchase.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ldc2335:
Caution!!!!

I bought one of these as well, and the hard plastic separates from the tpu rather easily, in fact mine came in the mail aready seperating.

I recommend getting the solid tpu cases insead of the hybrid, the all tpu ones are thinner and dont scratch as easy, not to mention they dont fall apart.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
EXACTLY MY PROBLEM! I really liked the white/clear at first, but after a few days its totally ruined. It's now like a baby blue color, and my pants arent even new! I've since switched to the Otterbox Commuter and left these cases in the dust long ago... time to change the thread subject i think :)

They are garbage guys, they crack easily and scratch even easier. If you want a case that's going to last more then a few days/weeks I'd look elsewhere...
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
I just got mine in the mail and I must say... it's a complete piece of crap and was a waste of money. Aside from the fact that it doesn't look anywhere near as nice as it does in pictures, it just feels cheap and doesn't fit very well. It's loose pretty much all around the phone, and the edges are all warped. Do NOT buy this case.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidestep22:
Hello All,

Ok, I searched but nothing came up so don't shoot me if its been discussed before but.. Yesterday I received a text message from SprintFreeMsg about an chance to win stuff. Here's the message:

SprintFreeMsg: Thanks for your loyalty. Go the Distance for a chance to win a great getaway or new phone: h t t p:// (I'm not gonna put the rest of the URL in cause I'm not sure what it is)..

Anyway, I went to the URL on my laptop (it has virus protection) and it seemed like a very basic website with the Sprint Logo and an advertisement for an upcoming movie.

So my question is, did anyone else get this? Is this a common thing from Sprint? I'm relatively new to Sprint and while I've heard they offer stuff to customers, this just seemed rather odd and somewhat suspect and on the same day that a brand new virus for android was announced..

Any thoughts?

The "GoldCard"

You'll need to create a GoldCard to allow you to flash an image to your phone.

Requirements:

A micro SD card - You can use the one that comes with the phone but I'd recommend backing up its contents somewhere before formatting it in the procedure below

Windows PC (Tested on Windows 7 x64, Vista x86)

.Net 2.0

HTC Sync (Installed for drivers only) - this can be found on the SD card that comes with the phone.

Creating the GoldCard:

1. Download the GoldCard tool here: http://android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/

2. Put the microSD card in your phone and boot it.

3. Enable USB Debugging on your phone: Go to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development and enable USB Debugging.

4. Connect your phone to your PC and choose "Disk drive" mode when your phone prompts you.

5. If using the SD card that came with the phone, copy the existing contents to a folder on your PC

6. Format the microSD card to FAT32 format.

7. Change phone USB connection in to sync mode ("HTC sync" mode)

8. Launch GoldCard Tool (Right Click and run as Admin if needed)

9. Click 'Get CID' (If MMC1 fails try MMC0)

10. Click the link to open http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard, enter the CID number from Goldcard Tool (the number starting "00" next to the Get CID button) and create your goldcard image, which will be e-mailed to you. (You don't need to sign up to the site, just fill in your email address and captcha)

11. Enable USB Mass Storage on the device (change back to "Disk drive" mode)

12. Click 'Refresh' and select your microSD card in the drop down menu.

13. Click 'Load GoldCard.img' and open the .img file you got by email.

14. Click 'Patch MMC'

You now have a goldcard!

thanks a comprehensive reply, forgot about modaco, thanks again.now I can get rid off buggy ota 2.2!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chandlerweb:
GoldCard CID Different since update to 2.2 ???

My HTC Desire came with Vodafone Android 2.1 and i wanted to genericise it so I went throught the manual process of creating a goldcard on a psare 1GB SD Card. However, I have since discovered that you need to have the Goldcard inserted whenever there are any OTA updates - I had one minor update which broke WiFi when I applied it without the Goldcard inserted and the phone went into a reboot loop when I tried to apply 2.2 without the Goldcard inserted. Now, rather than keep switching between the 4GB SD card I have and the 1GB Goldecard whenever an OTA update is available, I would like to turn my 4Gb card into a Goldcard.

However....

I have noticed the CID is different now that I am running 2.2 compared to when i originally created it when I was running 2.1.

Q1) Is it normal for the CID to change?

Q2) Is my old 1GB GoldCard no longer useful for any 2.2 hotfixes and updates from here on?

Q3) Will the new Goldcard work even though its created with a new CID?

Any answers appreciated.

Thanks

I listened too "before", "Rozes", and "Hate me for no reason". He has really good flow in his lyrics and vocalization. I just found myself wanting a hook, that part that makes the song, and replays in your head. Getting together with a jazz musician or a composer can really take his songs and skills to the next level. I have always thought of a good song as a little journey through some hallways with turns, and you keep the listener wondering whats around the corner. "Hate me" could use some really good corners, good start. He has some good talent and some better music to convey the emotion of the song can take him to the next level.

good day.

Hey folks,

May be a stupid question, though I've searched my phone and the net and couldn't find anything, though I'm not sure what I should be searching for anyway.

I'm hoping someone can tell me how to disable the box of words that pops up when typing something, trying to predict what you might be trying to say.

I'm sure it's only been showing up recently, possibly since I installed an application or something, as I don't remember it being there when I first got the phone, otherwise I would have asked this question by now.

I've attached an example of what I'm talking about.

I've tried going into Text Input Settings and enabling / disabling Spell Correction, Word Completion (XT9) and Word Complection (ABC) (all off at the moment) but it doesn't seem to make any difference, and it's really bugging me!

Any help would be really appreciated!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp-x1:
Have you looked in the Swype settings?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] visualfin:
Yeah, have looked there, even though this was happening before I installed Swype, installed it recently in the hope it wouldn't use the predictive text stuff (also as I like to use it, too).

It's not just with Swype, it's any of the text input methods, using XT9 or ABC input method seems to make no difference, nor do the settings in the text input options, or indeed swype input options.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] visualfin:
Anyone? Anything? :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
Have you tried, on the keyboard, to hold down the 'ABC' button for about a second. If it turns green then the XT9 predictive words don't appear?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
if you have advanced config on your phone, open it up, click on input, and you can set how many preditive words you get. exit, soft reset and you should be good to go.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcfong2:
I keep seeing people mention the ability to set the number of predictive words... but I can't find where to do this. I have a stock 2.13 ROM from TMOUS, with CHT running. Can you point me to the "advanced config" screen you reference above?

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jagaer:
Advanced Config is a cab you install.

In Advanced Config, under Input, you should have an option called "Suggested Words" the default is 4, set it to 0.
