There is probably a easy solution to this problem, but I haven't been able to find anything about it.. I have tried to download zip files on several occasions, and always get the message content not supported, and it wont let me download the file.. Any suggestions are very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
What do you mean download? You are trying to load an update.zip to your phone or you are trying to unzip it inside of your phone? I have not heard of anyone trying to unzip inside of the phone because that is not what the intended purpose of the zip is for. More details because you are very vague in your process.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JCD_13:
In this case I am trying to download the super circle battery file, the update.zip file......i click to download from the link, the download doesn't initiate, and I get the message "unable to download, content not supported". If I have read correctly, the file will save to the correct location, then I can boot up in recovery mode and reinstall packages.

Since my desire updatet to froyo gps doesnt work. I didnt even noticed at begining, but i cant think any other reason why it shouldnt work.

I dont get ANY signal with any apps i am using. On gps test also no signal, zero sattelites. I tried some thing i picked up on other forums (remove batery, wait 30 minuts on clear sky ,etc) but nothing.

Any ideas how can i solve this problem? (other than repair)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lee815:
try this... go to menu, settings wireless, network, then go to mobile networks, access point names, click on your service provider( the one with the green button by the side of it), like mine is o2 postpay then go right down to the bottom & open APN type, then type in default,supl

my GPS is working now ... downloaded Gps Status from the marked, this soft finds sats and showed positions of them. Now Starting Navi Soft ... gps status and it find the sats, too. Strange. Before the Navi Soft didnt find anything.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonyStark:
SUPL data is where the satellites are, hence it is A-GPS, you phone is told where they are, and works out where it is. Hence the apps fixed the other persons GPS as it finds the satellites. On Froyo for some reason you have to enter that your APN needs to do this, so no they are not having a laugh.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philJ:
All true what you said ... Agps is needed to find the sats quicker (so quicker fix) and get a better gps "quality" but his gps is completly not working?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonyStark:
Thats the thing no fix at all happens until then, and all the things he did wouldn't show anything different. the phone just shows your location from the masts, and nothing else, and says it is waiting for GPS, so its as if it is not working as you saw too.

I had the exact same thing and a nice person on a forum was telling people what to do, but instead of just throwing it back in their face I did it and actually looked up what it was fixing.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lee815:
Thank you, i done this with mine & it finds the satellites a lot quicker
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larsson2004:
Thanks lee815. Your advice works. I corrected APN setting and my GPS get lock again in 5-10 sec.

Perfect. Thanks for helping. :-)

Hi all, i know this is a well talked about subject as i have done numerous google/ask searches, i find an awful lot but don't really seem to get any answers, over the last week i must have read hundreds of pages so please anyone who is going to tell me to google this problem, please don't as i have until i could scream lol......anyway, this is the problem i am having......

Hubby bought the HTC desire on ORANGE but then decided he wanted an iphone4 so he gave his desire to me, i am a vodafone user, as we have teenage children and the freedom/family packs are such good value, i wanted to stay on vodafone so i got the phone unlocked with an unlock code at my local mobile fone shop...hubby had never used it as a phone, just as a gadget to mess about on so we weren't aware there was any problems.... the problems i am having are these...i can't get the phone to hold a call, if i use wmcda only mode, its slightly better and i can usually get a call out but it will drop out if i stay on the line to long, if i use gsm only then i can't get a call out at all, the phone stays silent for a few seconds and then just drops out......on both settings the signal is fluctuating like mad and often gives me a x where my signal should be, i love the phone as a gadget but at the moment im not getting much luck with it as a phone.....a few things i thought may be to blame are

could it be the way the fone shop unlocked it??

i have used the same sim card (voda) for around 4+ years, could i need a better sim???

could it be because all the settings on the phone belong to orange and arn't set up to use on voda??

i have read on a few sites where people have returned these phones only to be given another one that has the same issues where others have recieved another hand set and the problem is solved but some people say they have no call dropping/signal issues at all and love the phone....im confused, i have been looking around the site and seen peopl are using custom roms and/or debranding the phone, could that help with my issues??

if anyone can help me i would really appreciate it ...

thanks in advance

emma......ps sorry for such a long post :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
If your SIM is 4+ years old, I would suggest that a new one might be in order, so at the very least I'd request one if I were you.

You've not mentioned which ROM version or baseband you phone is currently using (see Menu->Settings->About Phone->Software Information). Try posting these so we can see if you are running a very early ROM and/or radio.

Regards,

Dave

P.S. Lastly, divorce hubby for being unfaithful to the Desire and buying an iPhone! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emma129:
lmao he's an iphone fanatic, he has the 3g, 3gs and now the iphone4, oh and a macbook lol.. personally i love the desire but i'm having a nightmare using it as a phone, i called HTC up on friday and ups have actually just came and picked it up, i have been waiting on them, so i can't actually check anything now, i wish i had realised and put the stats of the phone in my post, they said it will take 7/10 working days to get it back and i feel lost already lol....i am hoping and praying that they can sort the problem out, i have also requested new sims from vodafone and they are on their way to me also, so if i get my phone back and i still have same issues with my sim i will try the new sim, if that doesn't work, then i guess i'll be back on here or trading it in :(

i think im right in thinking the rom is the software, but by radio are you referring to the FM radio or to the radio waves your phone uses??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I have an iMac and a Macbook, but I dislike the walled garden that Apple has put up around the iPhone/iPad!

When I referred to the radio, I meant the cellular radio - not the FM radio, but the point is moot now if you've sent it in for repair! :)

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emma129:
yeah i forgot he also has the ipad, i love that like, he jailbreaks them himself so we get all the apps, better than the ipod, which he has also lol...he's a total apple nut!! once i get my device back i will check the stats an post them up here straight away......if the radio is old could that be the problem?? and do the newer ones help, i had to sign a fom to say they could erase everything and put the latest software on so im presuming they will also update the radio?? if so maybe that will correct the problem, i had looked into using a custom rom before i sent it back but i was scared that if i did that then they wouldn't repair/replace the unit also i was a little wary as the instructions seem a little complicated
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emma129:
.......i have since sent my desire of for repair/replacement and have contacted them today (since they have had it 3 weeks) and was told it is ready to be sent back to me and that it has had the mother board replaced...has anyone else had similar problems who had had a new mother board fitted and then the problems have stopped??? im thinking that when it comes back it will be as useless as a phone as it was when i sent it off

thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedeabc:
As far as holding calls are concerned, the Desire is bad... much worse than any iPhone I've used. That said in built up areas I never really have problems with voice, but in rural areas the reception is very poor... I struggle to make calls in my house, which was never an issue when I used Samsung phones.

3G reception is a separate issue!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
Well the motherboard is basically the phones guts, so that coupled with the new rom/radio should solve your issues. I can't see them replacing the MB just for the sake of it!

Let us know how you find it afterwards. Personally, I've no bother with reception and love my desire :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emma129:
well i've been expecting my phone back for days and it still hasn't arrived, i was quoted 5 to 7 working days when i sent it off for repair 3 WEEKS ago, anyway when it comes back i'll see how it goes and let you all know....could it possibly have something to do wiht the fact that its an orange branded phone and im getting a code to have it unlocked to vodafone????

(which i will have to pay for again now i have a new motherboard)

Hi guys, stock Galaxy S with JM7 release, it seems M4A files ripped from Audio CD using iTunes 10 are not supported anymore by the integrated player, a friend of mine confirmed the same issue with JM6, so I think it is iTunes 10 related, can you test if it works for You?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dr.james:
Hello,

i just wanted to install HTC Stock rom on my T-Mobile MDA IV. To do this i wanted to use DiamondUnlocker, but it seems i accidentally downloaded a CDMA version of the unlocker which only showed "wrong device" and then a black screen. Now my Diamond does not turn on, is not recognized by the PC via USB. I already tried Volume Down + Power / Reset etc. to no avail.

Is there a way to fix it? I read a skilled solderer with the right equipment can JTAG revive it, but i think that is not worth it because of the age of this phone?

I already wanted to sell it, thats why i wanted to flash the stock rom... any advice?

Thanks,

dr.james
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_bacon:
Hi...

I've been trying to run Froyo on my HTC HD2 (UK Provider - O2) and ran into problems.

I followed the instructions.

I updated the HSPL to 2.08 on my phone

I switched off the backlight as advised

But - when I started the install, it freezes after a few lines and the phone gets stuck on a black screen so I need to remove the battery to boot again.

Its been suggested that I need to flash the custom ROM and upgrade the Radio. No idea how to do this so....

Any chance of some step by step instructions from the experts and also what to expect. Will it wipe my contacts list etc?

I know its a pain but greatly appreciated.

Many thanks. :confused:

Try with another SIM card. If it works, then your current SIM is broken, if it doesn't work, it's most likely the phone causing problems.
[Desire General] freakzone:
How did you get the phone unlocked, if it was with code, which is the most common method you shouldn't have any problems?
[Desire General] emma129:
yes it was with a code, apparantly they get those codes from HTC themselves, i did try an orange sim card in it, it wasn't much better, my sim card can't be broken as i have it in my old iphone 2g, which i have had to go back to at the moment, HTC will get my phone very soon to have a look at as ups have just picked it up, i'll post back when i have my new/repaired device....thanks

i believe you were hearing the sd card notification, where the default sound would have been droid right out of the box.

may be wrong though
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] Infantry667:
It was part of the original boot animation, sbf'ing and using root explorer to find boot animation.zip in system/media will get it back but here's the link to the download: http://www.mediafire.com/?y3tvq34aboutinj,

not sure if its complete. Unzip it and open the desc.txt file with text editor. The sound file is the Droid.ogg file. The desc.txt file also contains guidelines for changing or customizing the sound file or other files. This can also be done in absolute system app by importing the bootanimation.zip and opening the bootanimation.zip editor and then using the desc.txt editor. Both ways can be used to adjust size, fps, loop properties and sounds. I will write up an instruction thread and post it in the dev forum once I successfully create a custom (sound).ogg file and apply it to a bootanimation.zip and get it to work.

[Touch Diamond CDMA] 19th Ninja:
I'm in a similar situation - I suspect the battery is the culprit. The phone functions in Android perfectly; I'm switching to another ROM... my reason for doing this is the batteries I bought off ebay don't recharge in WinMo, but do in Android (different model numbers). I realize logic steps are missing but that's my experience (again, I feel it is the battery). Let me know your experience.

I think PPP is the default for 3G connection and RMNET is used as an Alternative that solves many freezes and connection problems but i'm not sure of the technical differences between the 2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] terrytpot:
Obviously you guys aren't too familiar with the concept of searching for an answer ;)

The main difference is that the PPP versions provide MUCH faster

Access to the internet as fewer data packets are lost but unfortunately there are increased chances of screen freezes for many users :(

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rkalas:
terrytpot: Now it is really clear. Haha

The question is, how does the PPP and RMNET work?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] on1ydabest:
I'm not an expert on this but,

RMNet is the default interface Android uses connect you to data, internet, calls, etc. When porting Android to the HD2 it did just that however is seemed to be somewhat broken. It lost packets (data) when downloading/transferring. Basically, not giving you your full bandwidth.

This was fixed with PPP (point-to-point protocol). The devs implemented this because it allowed you to use your full bandwidth on your network (no lost packets). The downfall to this is it randomly losses its connection and/or locks up Android.

So you have to pick your poison:

RMNet - slow, broken data but reliable connection

PPP - fast, highspeed data but somewhat unstable connection

I personally prefer PPP, data disconnects aren't that frequent and are easily fixed with turning airplane mode off and on. Can't prevent the stalls tho.

SN: Like I said I'm not an expert, I basically did a little SEARCHING to find this info.
