[Vibrant General] sail4horizon:
This is my first Android phone, coming from Blackberry Curve 8320. I really expected it would be a giant leap in performance considering the Vibrant is 3x faster than the Curve. I about took it back the first day because the Facebook app was so unbelievably slow and lacking features compared to the BB app, I about threw it across the room a few times waiting for things to load.

I was stuck on EDGE with the BB with my d/l speed somewhere around 800kbps compared to I regularly hit 6Mbps with the Vibrant on 3G. Inexplicable to me why it takes as long as it does to function. I'm replacing my cable internet with wireless tethering so the 3G was important to me.

Launcher Pro seems to be a noticeable improvement in speed. I'm going to miss the full screen Updates widget... Have to figure out a replacement.

Most likely I'll pull the trigger on the lag fix, too impatient. If only the GPS worked the majority of the time... Going on a 1500 mile road trip next week and I know I'll be cussing at this thing. Even without GPS on the BB as long as I had internet at least I could always figure out where I was.

Thanks for everyone's responses, very helpful. I'm sure I'll love this thing eventually, hopefully.
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
OP,

not sure if you tried this but try rebooting into clockwork recovery and doing a nandroid from there. two ways to do that, once you have the clockwork update.zip in sd root:

1. with the clockwork app. option reboot into clockwork recovery

2. turn phone off > turn phone on while holding power and vol +/- > install update zip > you should now be in clockwork recovery

Happy with my desire i thought i'd video it.

this is using 3g/H NOT wifi

just so impressed with the speed of surfing and even heavy streaming tv is so fast.

the choppyness is from my compact camera video not the desire. its totally fluid in real life

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niknik76:
Hi there

I just bought a new Topaz. I have HardSPL and then tried to apply a new ROM. Now it keeps on rebooting - it only gets to the screen where it says TOUCH DIAMOND 2 - and the the red numbers appear in the lower right corner - and then it reboots..

Is it bricked or is there anything I can do??
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niknik76:
I tried to hard reset - but it still keeps rebooting
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
No not bricked.

Must be an incompatible ROM or you didn't HSPL to 2.51.

Just find another ROM, Stock or otherwise (since you are HSPL'd, but check your version first), go into Bootloader Mode and flash with RUU.exe.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niknik76:
Thank you Bruce!!

I'm still having problems though. I have tried to install a few different stock ROM - both 6.1 and 6.5. Everytime the same issue - I get stuck on loading the new ROM and it keeps rebooting.

I have tried to upgrade spl to 2.51 but still the same issue

What else can I do??
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
What does your SPL show in bootloader mode?

Make sure it has Olinex as a suffix.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niknik76:
Thanks again Bruce,

Yes it says Olinex.. When I first got the phone I tried to install a new ROM and I forgot to do SPL first - could it be that something serious went wrong in that attempt?

Anything else I can try?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Is it 1.83.Olinex or 2.51.Olinex?

Flashing a ROM w/o HSPL will most certainly mess up your device but it should be recoverable if you can find your stock ROM for your carrier and region.

You symptoms sound as if you are on 1.83 trying to flash 2.51 SPL ROMS.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poo22:
Hi, im having the same issue as OP, i tried to flash the latest Energy rom (sept 8) onto my td2 and the bootscreen is showing 1.83.Olinex. What do i do to fix this?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prdic:
You must have HSPL 2.51 for this ROM and for all newest roms.
[General Questions and Answers] KripXP:
Hi. I've got a GPS aplication running on my WM6.5 cellphone (chinese clone:TOPS A1 TOUCH). The navigator works properly until I receive a call. When I answer the call (my cellphone is connected via bluetooth to a PARROT) the screen starts turning off and on every 30 seconds. This way it is not possible to go anywhere usin the iGO, of course :S. Even when the OS power saving settings are disabled I get this funny behaviour.

I guess that should be possible to prevent the cellphone to power down the screen while a call is being done. Maybe there exist a registry key that can be modified... I don't really know.

Any of you knows how to get rid of this issue? Any idea will be very appreciated.

Many thanks for your support, guys.

Cheers,

hello! ive been on these forum ever since they opened a forum for the captivate :D. and well i dont have a captivate at the moment but i will be getting it next week and was just wondering what is the best rooting method YOU used.... or you would recommend. ive seen quite a few but not sure which one to use. some from here and some from androidforums. some from dl certain files and extracting to one click rooting. and if it helps i have a mac :cool:. any suggestions is greatly appreciated! looking forward to my captivate next week!

I personally used SRE, although it's not solely a rooting tool, it just includes rooting. But it does make the phone much much better so you may want to get it anyway.

On my SGS, I can launch 3gp or avi files from the Gallery. This works no problem.

However, when browsing the contents of my SD card using a third party file browser, I can tap on a 3GP video and it will play. But if I tap on an avi file, it says "Application not available". Long press on the avi file only gives move/copy/delete/share options.

Is there a setting somewhere where I can associate avi files with the default video player? Or something else I need to do?

TIA!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarsnGadgets:
Hi,

I updated my O2 branded UK desire to 2.2 last weekend using the

RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe

All has been great since then, the handset is no longer O2 branded, and 2.2 is working perfectly.

but yesterday, for no reason at all my data connection when connected by HSDPA has stopped responding.

The APN settings are still correct according to O2s website and the APN connects fine. Its showing 4 bars of connection, but when I use the browser, facebook app, speedtest app or marketplace the connection times out and it says there is no internet connection.

If I restrict the phone to only use GPRS its fine, slow obviously but connects ok.

Same on WIFI.

I have soft booted and removed the sim and battery, I have also tried re entering all the APN detail manually from the O2 website. I have tried putting it in and out of airplane mode.

please can you help me.

Any one figure it out yet? i have one from CM6 on my hero id love to port over but pushing bootanimation.zip to data/local or system/media does nothing. after looking at the files they seem to be in a different format then im used to
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiicytuna:
From what I've read, Samsung has theirs in a proprietary format. Until ROMS are created that allow for the standard bootanimation.zip the only thing that we can replace the boot animation with are other Samsung bootup animations.

Hello

I tried to root mytouch 1.2 (t-mobile) using "theunlockr" sappimg.zip way but when I reached the recovery step, the device didn't boot into recovery. Then I tried a lot of flashes and things but ended up with this:

-booting hangs with htc magic screen and can't get into recovery

-can use fastboot but the sappimg.zip (from theunlockr for rooting mytouch 1.2) hangs on unzipping system and other sappimg.zip version says it's an older version and can't update.

-can't flash anything from fastboot because it says: FAILED (remote: signature verify fail).

-SAAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A SHIP S-ON H

HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP31000)

CPLD-13

RADIO-6.35.10.18

any ideas please?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] benefit_ms:
up up up up
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
It looks like either the sappimg failed to flash after doing the radio, or you didn't flash the stock radio back after flashing the recovery. Your only hope that I can think of is to redownload the sappimg and try the whole process over again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
i concur :0)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] benefit_ms:
Thanks for your replay.

I redownloaded the file but it starts updating the system not the radio and as I said before it hangs on unzipping system. Is there any way to make sappimg.zip starts with radio?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Not that I know of. The only way I could imagine would be to extract just the radio image and flash it, but you would need the rest of the sappimg to do that. You could try finding a proper RUU for your device and running that from your computer with your goldcard in your phone, and then start over with rooting.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] benefit_ms:
please more explanation

thanks for your fast replay
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] TheBladeofFate:
Possible Fix?

I have a similar problem, but unlike mine, yours can be fixed. You do not have a perfected spl, so I think that you accidently flashed a 32B sappimg for your 32A. I think this is the solution: http://www.askabouthugo.com/general/solved-android-phone-stops-on-fastboot-with-remote-signature-verify-fail/

Let me know.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
How do you figure the OP doesn't have a perfected spl?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] benefit_ms:
any other suggestions?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] MrShides:
place this on your goldcard and flash it.

http://www.4shared.com/file/-wzTZgdP/RUU_Sapphire_T-Mobile_US_21053.html

I'm assuming your tmobile mytouch 1.2 right? Should flash over your stuff since i'm assuming you do have a perfected SPL.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Please tell me how he's going to flash a .exe file from his phone? If you go this route, you download it, then run the .exe from your computer with the phone hooked up via USB and in fastboot. You also need to put your goldcard in your phone. Problem is, if it fails, you'll be stuck at the RUU screen on your phone (which is basically fastboot) and you'll be kind of hosed.

[TESTING (FIXED):] 3,5mm headset support(fix from OliWe)

well as the name tell it ...

3,5mm headset also working now for blackstone

!! please test it - !ON YOUR REPORTS - please add catlog via a code tag !!

cu camel

attached the the new kernel

EDIT:1: if you have problem after first boot - it could be possible to plugin/out again ..for me it was working without any problem - i think ...

EDIT2: if the sound in call is too loud ...of calling -> use boot parameter: htc_hw.call_vol=2

like my boot line ...

set cmdline "gsensor_axis=-2,-1,3 lcd.density=240 msm_blackstone_pad.vibrate=1 msmvkeyb_toggle=off acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=575000 msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 htc_hw.call_vol=2"

[Touch HD Android Development] bertrandno7:
couldnt get haret to boot at all after using the new modules... do i need to rename or anything?
[Touch HD Android Development] gul_dukat_:
no, extract Image.7z and modules-2.6.27.46-01171-g47b50d0-dirty.tar.gz.7z and copy both to sdcard.

this should work.
[Touch HD Android Development] camro:
headset button is not supported, or better ... is is not fully integrated the code of headset button.

it does recognizem the button, but nothing will happen ...

as i know ex: on HTC HD2 if anyone press the headset button, then it goes ..... BOOOOOUUUMMMMMM.

so maybe it is better to let this out for now ... maybe later ..
[Touch HD Android Development] camro:
yes

if a headset with micro (like original headset from htc), then it will use the micro in call and other applications, instead of internal micro.

if normal headset, then micro is working via the internal.
[Touch HD Android Development] bertrandno7:
alright it works now vibration on the "buttons" also work
[Touch HD Android Development] Insaneboy:
Vibration always worked, it was just turned off by default.

Having "msm_blackstone_pad.vibrate=1" in your startup turns them on.

its working

Im new to android, but am I right in saying all android apps are written in java?

Or have I missed the point completely, again? :p

out of interest how many of you guys can write in a programming language?

If so, how long did it take you to learn?

My dad keeps telling me to learn, and thats its pretty easy but I just want some second opinions :)

Yes all apps are written in java for android :D I think you should give it ago I would love to be able to write in java but don't know how to start to Learn it,
[Off-topic] captainstu72:
First, grab some books about OOP so you can get an understanding of why things are written in certain ways. Then, get one with Java.

Thats from what I understand anyways (I don't yet know Java, but I am trying to learn at some point!)

Oh man thanks allot Austin021296! :D

The problem with me is I dont like starting things, once i get going im fine.

But these videos have made me want to learn a whole lot more, so now im happier about reading endless pages of text :D

Thanks again, man

I dont now which phone to choose. I like both of them. I like Htc sense and touchwiz too. What i need from the phone ?

1. Good media player

2. Good internet browsing

3. good gps

Im thinking to buy a galaxy S, but i heard about cool thing for htc desire called OpenDesire. This thing makes desire really super phone. How do you think will something similar will be gor galaxy S ?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
OpenDesire is a stock Android ROM, removing all the HTC Sense gubbins, and isn't something 'available' for the Galaxy S as it's written specifically for the Desire...
