[HD Mini General] pwel:
option not available

thanks, but I checked it: the last option is G-Sensor, which helps me to calibrate it, the one before is for display: in that one, I can only adjust the brightness settings, when back light is switched off, whether is is controlled automatically etc, but nothing like screen calibration. Would this be ROM dependent?
[HD Mini General] NeilM:
There is no screen calibration control for current HTC models with capacitive screens. The original calibration control doesn't work as it's designed for stylus input and needs a pin point press to register.

So, HTC leave the Screen control out of the build, which is also the reason Cleartype can't be activated as it's part of the same control.

If you really want to try it, look in the Cleartype topic for the registry change needed to make the Screen control visible, but beware that using screen calibration might make things worse rather than better !
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
Inaccurate touch centering is one of the built-in downside of capacitive touch screens. There's no such thing as pin-point accuracy in this territory.
[HD Mini General] NeilM:
We're seeing similar complaints about Android devices, especially the Nexus One. The theory is that the software is supposed to be intelligent enough to register where a 'broad' point of contact is intended to be centred, but sometimes it simply doesn't work as it should.

The only remedy, if a soft reset doesn't sort it is to do a hard reset but reports say the benefits of this may only be short lived.
[HD Mini General] nsourm:
Use this registry setting

HKLM\ControlPanel\Pen and change from 1 to 0.
[HD Mini General] keith819:
infact u dun need this function coz u'll never pass the calibration, i'd juz tried it yesterday(the capititive mon can't make an accurate calibration)

at last i need to soft-reset my device to leave the calibration page= =
[HD Mini General] pwel:
You're right! Although my fingers are not the smallest, it does not work. Thanks and topic closed I guess.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gio_Az:
sorry if this is too noob of a question but, i have been running all variations of cyanogenmod that that have been available, and at the beginning camera was not functional and i was okay with that.

Now that camera has been fixed, am i the only one who still gets fc on the camera.

the camera will not even launch, i get a black screen and then a "camera is not responding force close or wait" msg.

any help on how to fix this will be appreciated..
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gio_Az:
went back to a stock rooted rom and still no camera

running logcat and trying the camera i get a "UI BLOCKING" when i hit the camera button or any button and i have a black screen and only hitting Home works...

Any help would really be appreciated....
[HD2 General] L22EEW:
It's been acting strangely for the past few days. Basically I have the "Alarm-Snooze" tone for my alarm sound.

On a different topic, if I have events set to remind in my calendar, I have the reminder tone set to "Ring-Basic"

Now going back to the phone alarm, every morning when the alarm goes off, it goes off playing two tones "Ring-Basic" + "Alarm-Snooze" COMBINED! Plus instead of the alarm going off until I physically turn it off, the alarm turns off by itself after about 5 seconds.

This isn't right, and it have never done this before. A bug perhaps? Any suggestions...
[Desire General] rommark:

I have an alpine and a universal.while universal can install novvi remoter and control tv in the distance of 5 metres and the alpine can only work when it's kissing the object it needs to control!:mad:Is it designed such a short distance to work or the wm2003 driver gives it a bad performance of infare?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] kevcal:
Don't know if this is any help, but to debug infrared you can use a camera-phone to check it's outputting.

Sorry, don't know the range of the Alpine as have never tried it - any useful information here ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chivalryyyy:
Hi,, just a quickie :) im looking to instal a modded rom to my desire.. probably the leedroid 1... and i see it requires a new radio as its froyo.... and my desire is 2.1 atm (official t mobile)..

I was just wondering if its ok to flash the radio first so the rom can boot strait up with no probs once installed? or will the new radio only work with the 2.2 builds?

Thanks :)
[Nexus One General] chesterfork:
Hi to everyone, I would like to know if there is a way to download file from internet ( mediafire, etc) using the stock froyo browser.. it keeps. Saying me that the content cannot be managed by the browser. If I use dolphin hd everything works fine. But I want to use the default browser, so there is a solution? thanks in advance
[Nexus One General] firechaos:
Just download bytetornado in the market. Allows u to download any file extension using the stock browser, im using that..
[Nexus One General] BrotherG:
Download astro file browser. It integrates into the stock browser giving you the ability to download anything.
[Nexus One General] cymru:
Yeah i use Astro too. I can now download from rapidshare/megaupload .etc... and then use Astro to open them up. Good combo
[Nexus One General] chesterfork:
Thanks to everyone... :-) do you think that in 3.0 Rom will be implemented in stock browser the possibilities to download every kind of files?
[Nexus One General] craigacgomez:
Well, if you have a rooted N1, the stock browser in CM6 allows you to download any file type. I think Enom 2.11.x also does the same...
[Nexus One General] Goonish:
Stock CM6 recent nightly here, downloading files without any market file explorers.

Plus it's awesome. Serious.
[Nexus One General] Geo411m:
My Custom ROM downloads any file as well. More info can be found here
[Desire General] quarq:
Hi,

I currently own a Hero and am thinking of upgrading to either a Desire or a Nexus One. They run about the same price for me if the Nexus One is a slightly used (Ebay).

The biggest problem I had with the Hero is that it takes HTC FOREVER to update the OS. With the Nexus One, the OS is updated fairly regularly.

Given that the Desire is a HTC phone, which of the two would you suggest ?

Thanks

J
[Desire General] steve228uk:
The phones are near identical in terms of hardware except the Nexus has a second mic for noise cancelisation (not really an issue on the Desire) and has a trackball instead of an optical trackpad and the Nexus has touch buttons instead of real buttons.

I personally prefer HTC Sense UI but some prefer stock Android. It all depends on your needs. You are right that Google release the updates to the Nexus One sooner than other phones get it, but that's because it doesn't have a skin or other cool integrations with social networks etc.

I was in the same position when I was looking at a new phone and ultimately went for the Desire for Sense and physical buttons -- it's just personal preference
[Desire General] foxmeister:
To be fair to HTC on this one, they were much, much quicker with the Froyo update for the Desire. Nexus One got the "official" Froyo update (note, I'm not talking about the early press release) around the beginning of July, and Desire got it beginning of August.

That being said, I don't expect the Desire to ever get a Gingerbread release, but if the specs of the Desire HD (HTC Ace) are correct, given the similarity to the Desire, it's possible we could still get another update.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] xmfreak:
I would go for the Desire just for sense. I really love this interface. I've used roms with stock android -no sense- and I just can't get used to it. If you're coming from the hero, I would get the Desire.

On the other hand, Nexus One will be the first to get updates.
[Desire General] Zhypr:
Obviously people in the Desire forums will says Desire :)

As said, it's personal preference. I like the hardware buttons and trackpad of the Desire. Nexus One will get updates sooner, but remember that these devices are not flagships for long anymore. In the US you already have better devices, and the Desire HD is coming up. I don't think we will be getting any more official updates. We might have a chance at getting gingerbread, but probably later than the better devices that will be on the market by then.

So in short: I wouldn't go for the Nexus just because of one update you will maybe get a month before the Desire, but maybe not get at all.
[Desire General] itsfozzy:
If it was me, I would base my decision on the following differences, and decide which things are most important to me.

Cost

Sense

Hardware Buttons

Track Pad vs Track Ball

Updates

Custom ROMS

Cost, Desire is cheaper - Desire wins

Sense, I love it - Desire wins.

Hardware buttons, I prefer buttons - Desire wins.

Track Pad vs Track Ball, I use a Blackberry, and regularly have to replace the track ball. The optical trackpad on the Desire made me want the Desire over the N1. As it turns out however, I hardly use the Desire's track pad, and when I do, I wish it was a track ball - Nexus One wins.

Updates, any OTA update for Android will hit the N1 first, whether it will get Gingerbread is unknown, but if it does, it will get it before the Desire, and I'm sure that if the N1 can run it, then so can the Desire. If the N1 cannot run 3.0, the neither will the Desire. Result - If the N1 runs 3.0, then it's the N1, if not, it's a draw.

Custom ROMs, both phones are easily modded with custom ROMs, so you can have Sense on an N1, and vanilla Android on a Desire - draw.

That was my decision process, you can make your own mind up!
[Desire General] steve228uk:
You don't use your trackpad?! I use mine all the time when typing. Either to move the cursor or select the right word suggestion as it's right below the keyboard it's perfect.
[Desire General] itsfozzy:
I don't make mistakes when i'm typing ;), but if I did, I would prefer a track ball (and a proper Blackberry keyboard) any day.

It's because I can type one-handed with a Blackberry, that I turned down the offer of an Android phone for my job. I also did not want two Desires.
[Desire General] steve228uk:
After playing with my sister's Blackberry I couldn't handle one as my main phone. I guess if I had two it'd be okay but that software is just appalling.
[Desire General] itsfozzy:
Agreed. Blackberry for email, Desire/Android for everything else.
[Desire General] Alimud:
Did you know the nexus one is now discontinued, and Google have closed the nexus one store.
[Desire General] meteora:
Nexus

My vote is for Nexus and i have no doubt about it.

N1 gets any updates far before any other phone, Gingerbread is almost 100% for it

N1 is the official google's developers phone, and most of the developers release their applications for N1 before any other phone,

stock is much faster than sense and any other UIs.

there is absolutely no custom modifications in Sense that can't be flashed into N1. and desire has nothing exclusive for itself.

the best custom ROM out there is cyanogenmod which is released for N1 at first and after that for other phones.

N1 has a modern design (body, battery cover, excellent trackball colors and notifications , etc)

N1 has microphone for noise cancellation.

N1 has car dock and desktop dock support.

finally N1 is being discontinued at google store and this is another advantage for it, i personally do not like my phone to be in hands of many people. also this situation has an effect in rising the price of N1 and i like this. :cool:
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Sorry, but this is rubbish!

Google have closed *their* online store, but the Nexus One is still being produced and is still available from other channels! See here for details - it's also available direct from carriers, such as Vodafone in the UK.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] quarq:
Thanks for all the replies.. Getting the Nexus One for AT&T bands generally requires going through EBay and the like..

I am kicking myself for not having got it when I had the chance. I'll look into the Desire.

J
[Desire General] Mr_Maz:
i'd hold out for a few months and look to get the next evolution of handsets in Q4
[Desire General] steve228uk:
I second this. Looks like the Desire HD is set for unveiling on the 15th September.
[Desire General] Jabbafat23:
If you keep holding out for the phone on the horizon you will never get a phone. The Desire HD will will be an Android version of the HD2. I find the current Desire to be a perfect size and functionality is great, I just hope they tweak the camera and camcorder for better performance.
[Desire General] MrUsta:
Indeed. Besides, the prices of the current phones reflect their age.

It doesn't really matter if you get N1 or Desire. They are both fine phones and perform almost identical. I personally prefer Sens UI, so I went for Desire.

I'll also give one plus for HTC Support and the physical buttons on Desire.
[Desire General] st0kes:
I had this exact same debate when I got my desire. The Nexus one was £5 a month more expensive (£120 over the 2 year contract) for pretty much the same phone, in a different casing.

I preferred the hardware buttons and overall feel of the Desire. I'm not a massive fan of capacitive buttons.

The optical trackpad on the Desire is a disappointment and doesn't work very well. I previously owned an HTC Magic which had a trackball, that was excellent and I used it all the time. So Nexus definitely wins on that one (plus the N1 trackball glows in different colours, which is a win).

I think I made the right decision though. The Desire has slightly more RAM (probably because of Sense UI) which is a plus, don't worry about updates for the Desire, we always have things ported from the N1 forum days after it appears on the N1. If you are happy to root then there are tons of roms to choose from - Sense or Stock Android.

Either would be a good upgrade from the Hero. In your position I would get the Desire or wait a few weeks longer and get the Desire HD.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
True, but there's generally a point in the lifetime of any phone beyond which you may just as well wait for the next generation.

IMHO, if the Desire HD/ACE is going to be launched mid-September, with availability soon thereafter, there's little to be lost in waiting for it. Even if you don't buy one, it will likely occupy the same price point as the Desire currently does, meaning the Desire should get cheaper.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] Bomaster:
If you are planning to use the desire in the USA you won't be able to use the wcdma because they use different frequencies and the desire wont operate on them, you can use gsm, but not 3g. So you would be better off with the N1.
[Desire General] quarq:
Well, I got the Nexus One from a member here. ;-)
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Not true of the Telstra Desire (A8183 model number), which will work with AT&T's 3G frequencies.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] source.rar:
Hi,

Have a related question regarding the different HTC Desire Models available (hope its ok to post here for this).

Is there a difference in the hardware of the Desire A8183 and A8181 models? OR do these all come down to the same phone once rooted?
[Desire General] phunkycow:
If you prefer AOSP you made a really good choice. Noice cancellation + Trackball = win as well (for me at least ;) ). Kinda regretted buying the Desire, since I'm not using Sense anyway, got rid of it 5 minutes after I unboxed it :p

Oh well, enjoy your new phone mate!
[Desire General] setspeed:
I know this is probably a moot point since you already own a Hero (no physical keyboard), but as good as on-screen keyboards are (Swype, etc), nothing beats physical keys for me.

I went from the Dream to the Desire, and although I love it, I am literally wetting myself waiting for the Desire Z/G2. It's going to make my life so much better when I can actually type a decent length email or text easily - especially when drunk! ;)

[Desire General] vilbs:
HI there - I have got myself in a pickle and would appreciate some help...

I have a TMobile branded Desire. I wanted to get Froyo so did the following:

1. Got a new mem card and created a Gold Card

2. Installed RUU_Bravo_HTC _WWE_1.21.405.2 _Radio_32.36.00.28U _4.06.00.02_2 _release_126984_signed

3. Replaced the Gold Card with my normal mem card (which has all my pics etc; on)

4. Ran OTA Froyo update.

I think the FROYO install didnt complete fully as it now randomly reboots by iteslf (every 2 or 3 mins) I have no signal, cant connect via USB to my pc (to downgrade) - all in all it's not exactly bricked but I cant really use it all.

Please help :( Anyone any ideas?
[Desire General] mikey242:
Will your phone boot up completely before rebooting? Can you get into recovery mode (vol down + power)?
[Desire General] vilbs:
Yes it will completely boot up. And yes I can get into recovery mode. Do you have a cunning plan?
[Desire General] mikey242:
The easiest thing to do would be to do a factory reset (somewhere in settings or from quickboot menu), although if indeed the flash didn't complete successfully this is unlikely to work, it would be the quickest if it did.

Failing that you will probably need to re-flash the device. You will need your goldcard and a rooted update file (zip format as I don't think you can install RUU from recovery).

It is likely that you will need to re-root your device first though..

What is your HBOOT version?
[Desire General] vilbs:
Thanks for the replies so far...

I've already tried a Factory Reset and that made no difference...

Yes I think a zip file is the way forward but I am struggling to work out which one and how I think install it.

My HBOOT is 0.80.0000

Also you mention I will need to re-root my device but I didnt root it in the first place.

Thanks again for help so far. Fingers crossed you can point me in the right direction...
[Desire General] er_yeah:
I had this problem. Go download:

http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8-1.21.405.2_release4dua3bcrut4wrv30.zip

Then rename the file to update.zip and copy onto your goldcard - then insert into phone. Now go to recovery mode, select recovery, then when the red triangle thing comes up hold the volume down button when pressing the power button. You should be able to update now.
[Desire General] er_yeah:
Oh and I didn't have my phone rooted.
[Desire General] mikey242:
Sorry, was assuming it was rooted and that the update un-rooted it. Since your un-rooted I think the link that er_yeah posted is the official zip update from HTC, that should do the trick.
[Desire General] vilbs:
Thanks er_yeah. Tried as you said. Went into recovery but cant get rid the red triangle thingy. Vol down and power doesnt do anything... Maybe I didn't put the update.zip file in the right place. I just copied it to the root of the sd card. There weren't any other files there - jsut folders (Rosie something was one of them).

Please stick with me :(
[Desire General] teppic74:
The problem is you tried to run an update without your goldcard.

You will be able to restore the phone by inserting your goldcard, booting into fastboot mode (back + power) and running this RUU:

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...3.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe

Do not try to run any OTA updates without your goldcard.
[Desire General] vilbs:
thanks mikey242. Hopefully er_yeah can help me out.
[Desire General] mikey242:
No probs, hope you can get it sorted.
[Desire General] vilbs:
After a few confused minutes working out Fastboot things are looking promising. New ROM has now updated and will try in a sec with OTA Froyo (with goldcard). Thanks a lot so far all 3 of you...

Will update in a minute!
[Desire General] !PANDA:
to get rid off the triangle press vol up and power button, that will get you into recovery...

hope this helps!
[Desire General] teppic74:
That RUU takes you directly to Froyo.
[Desire General] vilbs:
I used the original RUU as someone on Tmobile has updated to Froyo using it...

Anyway the phone is now debranded and on Froyo and working! So thank you everyone for helping out. I think my key mistake was trying to update OTA without the Goldcard. I have learned my lesson and wont repeat it.

OK I had a slight issue that I had lost all my text messages and Notes I had created in ColourNotes - but this seems like a small price to pay for what was at one point an unusable phone!

Thanks again guys!
[Desire General] er_yeah:
Sorry for disappearing, glad that you got it sorted out! :)
