[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orphee:
Hello,

Yesterday I forgot my phone in my car at 8am...

In the day I call it from my work, and it didn't ring, direct to "answering machine" (?)

at 7pm, I came back to my car, the phone was OFF, I powered it, 87% of battery remaining...

I don't know it was OFF, so my question is : Is there a heat protection that shut down the phone ?

Because I don't know why it was off.

Thank you
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercianary:
My phone gets pretty damn hot. Never had it shut down on me.

Was is plugged in?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thongster27:
I have had my phone restart on me a couple of times now due to the heat issue. Without the phone being charged i get battery temp readings of 41 degrees. It gets higher when plugged in to the charger
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbdags:
Your car interior can get over 60 degrees C in a short time if in the sun! :eek:I wouldn't be surprised if the phone shut itself down.

I've seen 40 degrees plus on normal usage and the phone seems fine.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Raadius:
I'm trying to delete the GenieWidget from my phone, and it won't install from Applications > Manage, the uninstall option is not highlighted anymore. It use to be, but not any more, very odd. I tried Terminal, Root Explorer but those require root and I'm on stock 2.2 Froyo (Evo 4G). I tried ADB, install it, everything is fine, I even type in "adb devices" in the cmd prompt and it finds my phone. When I type "adb shell" a "$" appears and whatever I type says "permission denied".

When I type "adb" all the adb info comes up fine, when I tried to type "adb uninstall [insert apk here] I get a "failed" or I get some Java error telling me to put Java in the path (same path as the Android SDK Tools) but I have and its still not working.

Please help!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evilkorn:
The GenieWidget lives on /system/ and requires root to access that partition. ADB itself does not require root, but the action you want does.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Raadius:
Any other way to get to it? This is stressing me out. I just want to delete it and add a modify one, thats all.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evilkorn:
Like I said, it requires root.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Raadius:
Dude I installed it on my phone, I've deleted it multiple times, all the sudden now I can't uninstall it.

The only thing I can think of is, it came preloaded on my phone with the 2.2 Froyo update which would make since that I can't delete it without root access.

How can I stop these from running (I cannot seem to delete them)

Do they affect my performance?

[Desire General] rolfd:
They won't affect your phones performance as Android manages the memory and closes unwanted apps if it needs to.

People may suggest a task killer, but they generally will decrease your battery life as they kill tasks which will just start up again, and so a circle of starting apps, closing apps begins!

To be sure of those apps not starting I'd say you should root, and install a custom rom with those apps removed.

Hi

After rooting to r2ba026 last night, everything went well unti i discovered today that all the apps i downloaded cannot be installed anymore. It says "..... could not be installed on this phone". I have the latest busybox installed on the market. I can install apps easily from the market. Please HELP! I dont want to redo the rooting anymore :(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mobzter:
In settings then applications, is your 'unknown sources' option checked?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mach0boi:
Yes, that option is checked. I thought Il solve it by rooting again, but after about an hour after root, the problem comes back. I use to file "full r2ba026 from any rom" something like that, then apply the fix.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] strix75:
I have the same problem but only on one app LauncherPro i can not install this after root, i can install other apps but Launcher it no go. Can anyone help me on this??

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] cybrid3:
My phone was working fine up until today and now I can no longer install apk files. Just loops on the same screen. I dont want to have to re root again. Is there a fix?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mach0boi:
I think the culprit is Titanium Backup. I manually install my apps after rooting and the problem was solved.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mobzter:
Hmm.. odd! I don't have that issue but I gues you could try it!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mach0boi:
Maybe one of my backup app f*ck my system. I just installed all of it manually and the problem never came back :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] cybrid3:
well I rooted again last night but the prob is back this morning. Manually installing everything and all settings is gonna be a severe pain. Is there an alternative to titanium if its that which is causing this?

I tried rooting my Tmobile branded Desire with the coldgardmethod i followed the procedure and everything went fine untill i fllowed the next steps

- In the terminal window, enter either 'step1-windows.bat', './step1-mac.sh' or './step1-linux.sh' as appropriate.

- Navigate to the 'BOOTLOADER' and then 'RECOVERY' option on the menu, using the volume buttons to move and the power button to select.

- When a black screen appears with a red triangle, press and hold 'Volume Up' then tap 'Power'.

I proceeded with step1-windows.bat after this I navigated to bootloader and choose recovery this is where the problem started and my phone freezes and is stuck in the pink tmobile boot circle. I never get to the black screen with the red triangle.

I've been trying since to boot my phone, i can get into the bootloader but when I choose boot or recovery it freezes. Anyone have a suggestion?

(Hello)

BACKGROUND

'been trying locale aiming to enable data conn at certain time, check email, and close data conn again, using plugin powersave to open/close data conn. I think this plugin uses the "apn suffix method" to enable/disable apn.

Previously I had widgetpro installed to enable/disable manually data connection.

Widgetpro CAN -as an option- use the same method to enable/disable data conn, but I never needed it, 'cause in my case it works without that feature.

FACTS

Whenever any locale situation triggers change in data connection (working properly), widgetpro will never work again enabling data connection manually... so I wont use locale (promising app) anymore unless any advice of you can help me...

If anyone has any idea/experience to fix it, please wave your hand :)

[HD2 General] stirkac:
I posted this thread just because i am kinda disappointed with HD2 rom selection, as i am hardcore rom flasher. Don't get me wrong, i like all chefs and i'm not taking sides. If you don't like the thread don't flame me, but u can report it to be deleted if you wish. Otherwise read on ;)

As comparison i took roms of my previous phone, Samsung Omnia. If you look at their thread http://www.modaco.com/category/368/i900-general-omnia-rom-discussion/ you can well enough see that after 2.5 years rom development is still kicking!

Every chef shows alot of dedication to rom, they build up their own interfaces, new looks etc. Every rom is unique, and i'm afraid we don't have this with HD2.

And yes, i know about dinik, but if there are more people using it then stock, it isn't as unique, don't u think...

In short summary, i'd just want to see some more young enthusiastic chefs (like sanjeev, maybe) so not every rom thread goes: ...sense 2016 CFC'd..GTX/Black..dinik iconset...

you can also post your experience or prove me wrong :-P sorry to waste 3min of your life..

edit: will try to post some pictures to prove my point
[HD2 General] rumpleforeskin:
Maybe you make your own ROM to share with us and give us a better choice?
[HD2 General] fadzy:
Not sure i entireley agree with you.

Most chefs actually think about the user more than you probably think. So by providing a really fast, yet stock looking rom, you, the user, can add your own customisations that you deem necessary.

However, when you are talking about everybody using the same customisations, it's also down to the user. For example, im sure many of you use Dinik's icons/mods etc. So if it was built into the rom, it would be ready out of the box. No need to install all of the mods over and over again.

I dont think they're not being innovative, but infact providing what you need. I would be gutted if i spent a hell of a lot of time making a whole theme for my phone, only to realise people complain about it or just install other mods over it.
[HD2 General] stirkac:
actually, i tried, but it turned out to be crap xD slow and laggy.

again, i'm not dissin' anyone, just saying! i like rom chefs a lot, and i know how much job gets into making a proper rom-as i said i tried and failed miserbly.

and i didn't mention i heavily customize almost every rom i try, unless it has something new to try. It's nice to build up your own config, but hey, sometimes it feels really nice to see someone stand out (as dinik did in beginning, and then GTX -and now mostly everyone likes these)

well i better shut up now i guess :rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
I know that it depends where you live etc, but i noticed a few other HD2 users from my neck of the woods (south wales) just wondered what radio your using on your HD2's and how you finding the signal etc.

I'm currently using radio 2.12.50.02_2

And battery life is good, signal is ok but no where near as good as my old sony ericsson's.

I also get a fair bit of fluxuation in the signal, this morning i tried to reply to a text and it wouldn't send, about 4 sec later had nearly a 3 bar signal and resent and it was fine.

Does this just happen ? is the hardware just not as good as the old phone's used to be ?

Or has someone tried a different radio in this sort of area and got better results.

I had a HTC Magic and the signal wasn't as good as the sony's and my mates are saying there Iphone 3gs phones are poorer to than older phone's, so are these smartphones just not as good a phone as the older ones ?

Thanks for any info...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazza9075:
your tempting the wrath of mods asking questions like that, its completely subjective, meaning everyone has different ideas on whats best and we're not grown up enough to have civilised debates on such subjects so id give up and just try them one at a time, be sure to use the correct .50 / .51 version to go with your ROM otherwise you will have some issues :) ive had better luck with the more recent ones however, in my opinion the early ones (2.07.*)had better sound but the battery on my device with the programs i used didnt last as long, then we went through a period.....in my opinion.....where the sound was shoddy, and now the most recent ones seem to be holding their own according to me, that is :)

mines 2.12.50.02_2 but make sure you get the right one or you may end up bricking it!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sortac:
Ok I get it, thanks. One other thing I'm unsure of -> are radios supposed to be installed before the roms? or can it be installed after the rom? I understand Hspl is needed first of all..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakers:
Yeah i get its subjective which is why i said "people's Experiances" as for getting the mods all wound up, i would have thought it quite usefull to know what radio people are using for specific area's and how they have found them in day to day use, could save someone an awfull lot of messing about which i presumed was the whole purpose of this site :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chalid:
I have a pretty bad signal in my appartment, so its essential to have the right radio version. I tried a couple of radios and 2.06.51.07 is by far the best. The signal bars are the same as with any other radio, but calls don't drop and data connections are stable.

Hi all,

Feel free to shoot me down, send me to a thread or whatever :)

I've just bought a HTC Desire on O2 PAYG to replace my contract HD2. It is branded and locked to O2 (i'm on O2 so fine) but I would like to get the 2.2 update OTA for the generic ROMS. After reading A LOT of information on different sites I am confused as to whether I actually need to Root my phone or not to get a generic ROM?

If I do, my next problem is I have HBOOT 0.83 which doesn't seem rootable at the moment :(

Thank for your help/comments.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teppic74:
I'm in the same position.

0.83 is rootable by using unrevoked3, but it seems that you cannot flash any custom ROMs or debrand with it. At the moment there doesn't seem to be any safe option. You can downgrade HBOOT to 0.80, but this seems to break the phone's display (which may be recoverable, but it looks more than a bit risky).

One possibility is this - a recent RUU on shipped-roms (RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_T2_Radio_32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe) seems to contain HBOOT 0.83, so may work with a goldcard to debrand the phone, since O2's software is lower (1.20.207.3 I think). If that's successful it might be possible it might be possible to apply the OTA update (but this will make the phone unrootable).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marinierb:
Great! Now we have a fourth thread about rooting HBOOT 0.83!

Hi - I have posted in the leedroid thread with no response so i'm posting a new thread:

I was running leedroid 1.6b - i uninstalled facebook and all was fine. I then at some point yesterday rebooted my phone & it got stuck at the htc logo.

I entered fastboot which works fine, but then tried to enter recovery and once again it got stuck at the htc logo (vibrates a few times and does nothing).

I assumed my recovery image had got corrupted, and so i tried to go through the root process (the second one) again - everything seems to go fine until i try to enter recovery where it still gets stuck at the htc logo.

Can someone assist on what i can do to get recovery working again?

-------- SOLUTION BELOW ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok so here are the things i tried that didnt work:

Unrevoked - couldnt run as required you to be in OS

r6 root - Could do step 1 but not step 2 (Hang at htc logo)

Official RUU Exe - Would complete successfully but still hangs at HTC logo

Also tried formatting sdcard, removing ext partitions, removing sim card - none worked.

Finally i tried this and it did work:

1. D/L PB99IMG zip from following thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=684259

2. Rename to PB99IMG.zip

3. Place on sdcard (i just took the card out & used a usb adapter)

4. Put card in phone & start with vol-down pressed.

The phone will detect the zip & flash.

This worked - now unrooted & ready for rooting again.

Not sure why the PB99IMG method worked when the RUU exe failed, but there you go :D

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sindrefyrn:
Does ADB find your phone?

What hboot do you have?

Do you have a goldcard?

Don't worry, as long as you can access fastboot you're not bricked. Although you must've done something more then uninstalling Facebook. Try flash a new recovery using unrevoked.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtcislove:
How you startet your Phone? (Home+Power dont starts Recovery for me) only with VoldumeDown+Power i can get to Recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SavageCore:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inamak:
I was on hboot 0.75 but when i tried to root again it got changed to 0.80?

I swear all i did was uninstall facebook - even used it for quite a while after that - maybe something else did it.

My phone is unbranded so dont have a goldcard.

Havent tested adb - if it does work what are the steps?

I thought you had to be fully booted to run unrevoked?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sindrefyrn:
As long as adb finds your phone you should be able to run unrevoked. Try that. I'm not sure about this, but you may also be able to run it from fast/hboot.

Remember that to boot into recovery mode on desire you'll need to first boot using vol down + power.

You could also try picking clear storage in fastboot if neither above work, but we can come back to that later.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inamak:
Hi - I tried unrevoked - it didnt work - i think it wants me to be in the OS before it does anything - all it says when i am in the hboot screen is "waiting for device - plug phone in now and enable usb debugging".

I can get to both fastboot & hboot screens, and also usb works fine in both, so i know the drivers are installed ok on my xp machine.

All it does is show me the htc logo and vibrate a few times when i try to go into the recovery mode.

Is there a way to get unrevoked to do its thing without being in the OS? Or another method?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inamak:
Also just tried an official RUU - got all the way through the setup fine - when it completed it reboot the phone, and it still gets stuck at the htc boot screen & vibrates :confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeeDroid:
Did you remove HTCFacebook.apk? Or Facebook.apn? HTCFacebook is part of the system and should not be removed..

was your SD partitioned for A2SD+ and is it still? Installing a Rom that does not support A2SD+ with an ext3 will cause bootloops.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sindrefyrn:
Try the following:

Boot your phone while holding vol down.

Wait for the "searching for p99img (or whatever it is) to finish.

Press vol down three times, then click power.

Press vol up to confirm.

Try boot your phone as normal.

Did that work?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inamak:
Not sure - i did it through titanium backup as the update would not install - guess that is what did it? I'm sure it was the normal app not the htc one though.

Yeah my card does have an ext3 partition - the phone isnt bootlooping though it is getting stuck at the htc logo? Cant even get into recovery to flash another rom.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inamak:
Gave it a try but didnt work - still stuck at htc logo.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inamak:
Ok so i tried removing my ext3 partition (leaving me with just a fat32 partition over the whole sd card) and redoing the whole rooting procedure. It still gets through step1 fine, but when get back to the hboot screen & try to enter recovery it just shows me the htc logo and vibrates.

Anything else i can try? If not i guess i will have to get the phone replaced...

Spoke too soon - was all up and running again but the phone decided to reboot by itself after about 4hrs & now is stuck at the logo again.
