[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jazyt:
OK I am going to sound really stupid now.

In my eagerness to download apps (some do not have the option to send to SD card) I have used the internal memory up.

How do I configure the phone that all apps get moved to the SD as routine?

Yep a totally dumbo I know, you can beat me up later
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ik Desire:
Yes, you are dumb. Not for downloading too many apps, but because you don't understand that almost every forum has a search function. Even asking the almighty google would have given you the answer without being flamed.

Apps2sd. The app in the marked, not the root-mod. But don't put widgets on sd.

[Captivate General] Dani897:
I see there isn't a suggestion section under the captivate and decided to post here so the developers are likely to see it. Though maybe the mods can implement it as well.

I was thinking that since us noobs can never find the questions that have been asked and answered do to the staggering number of posts in some of these threads; could download threads be locked and stickied but have a link to a Q&A thread on the topic, and a separate discussion thread that is labeled for posting by devs only? I know this is more threads and maybe I'm speaking nonsense but I see a lot of people get blown off, or better yet someone answers them only to tell them to search for the answer or just put people down. Like if you are gonna take the time and space on the board to say something to someone you can't give a link and a page number.

I know you guys are super helpful, but the board is hard to navigate because of the huge number of posts, I think a Q&A topic for each download topic with a link would keep the noobs out of your hair and questions could be answered by intermediate users and not make it hard for the busy devs to communicate amongst themselves.

What do you think?
[Captivate General] BigJayDogg3:
Wrong section. This section is for develpment. Period.

I vote no. 90% of the time the first post is the info/download information, and the rest of the post is the "Q&A" section you want. And the other 10% of the time the information isn't in the first post because noobs aren't going to read an entire thread and the "release" is still in "oh crap this may break stuff".
[Captivate General] Dani897:
I just think its cluttered and the lay person can't navigate and the knowledgeable people are unwilling to answer the same questions too many times (understandable).

My next suggestion is to have a suggestion section.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
If people used the search function, they would find answers to already asked questions. Having stickie Q/A stuff to correspond to Dev stuff sounds nice, but no one will look for it - they don't look now and search works very well.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
I thought I was speaking sense but obviously its not being received.

You don't need to sticky the qa just link to it and people will find it.

Searching is unreliable because that means the phrasing needs to be close.

But I'll just let this die.
[Epic 4G General] keysoh2:
Do we get charged extra if we use the "Sprint Hotspot" app included on the phone?
[Epic 4G General] Firon:
It's $29.99/month to use it.
[Epic 4G General] ImSoHungry:
Highway robbery imho. Just root and get that feature for free. If I am already paying for the data that is transmitted via my phone, I am not going to an additional fee just to use it how I please. That is my main reason to root, the roms are icing on the cake.
[Epic 4G General] volcomjerk:
They are currently not charging for it. If you use it you are basically using it for free. That will change soon though. Also, why would you steal with a free wifi tether app? 29.99 for real working people is a great deal. Its not for you kids working that can't afford it.
[Epic 4G General] ort84:
When I tried to activate it in 4G or 3G mode, it disables the network connection and thus prevents me from using it. So I think if you're not paying for it, they simply don't allow it to work.
[Epic 4G General] keysoh2:
Oh ok... Thanks for the replies guys

29.99 is a ripoff... I'm already rooted so I'm going to uninstall it and use wifi-tether ;)
[Epic 4G General] WisdomWolf:
How do you steal data that you are already paying for? The part that costs is the amount of bandwidth that is used so how is it fair for a person that uses 4-7GB/month via the phone only pays less than the guy that uses 2-3GB/month using data on phone and tethering? Please, explain the logic.
[Epic 4G General] volcomjerk:
Doesn't matter how you slice it. You signed a contract. Its stealing. Sure id rather have it with no tether fee but I'm not gonna go and steal.

Your logic is computing to make things go your way. If you don't like the price don't use. Otherwise... steal away...
[Epic 4G General] ravizzle:
Yea its stealing, but I dont care. I download music and movies and speed on the highway. These are minor things that dont matter much. Rules can be bent, and its upto each individual if they fine with doing that. Maybe when I graduate from college and have a job I might pay for stuff like this, but right now I dont give a damn.

Sent from my Epic 4G
[Epic 4G General] volcomjerk:
Hey, at least you know its stealing. Just annoys me when people think they make their own rules on someone elses terms. It sucks that we gotta pay but people gotta make money somehow and for 29.99 compared to other offerings, its a damn steal especially with how Sprint is so flexible with how much data you use.
[Epic 4G General] nicknomo:
breach of contract isn't theft. Its a civil matter, and basically you can do what you want with your phone (including root it)... Sprint does not have to provide you with service though.

In reality, the most Sprint is entitled to do is terminate you from their service..

hello there

Does any one know how to root( Sanyo ZIO by Kyocera)with cricket wirless network for more info about android phone mycricket.com please replay

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] awe215:
Replay? Ha ha.

The Zio can be rooted, download the file, email it to yourself, and open it on the phone. It is easy peasy ;-)

Paste this into the search up top: "1-click root for N1", download the listed file, email it to yourself and then install.

Once that is done, download barnacle wifi tethering and have some fun.

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

I've been going through the forums but I can't figure out what is going wrong.

I have a HTC Desire With Froyo and of course HTC Sence.

When I select a contact card and I go to the gallery TAB to access the Facebook photos The gallery won't display anymore.

Instead I get a message that repeat itself saying "update in progress" Loading, to finally say "no album" on every contacts.

It use to work fine, I'm not sure if this is happening since Froyo update.

Has anyone got the same problem and know how to fix it?

Thx,

Frem
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frem:
I'm the only one with this problem ???
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frem:
Ok i gave more info now. The bug happens only in 3g. When i use wifi the gallery appears corectly.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frem:
Bug is still happening please help me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzumara:
I have the same problem.. Still no answer?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerds2You:
I am having the same issue, It works perfectly over wi-fi but not at all via 3G. I'm going to try a different SIM card to see if it might be my provider.

Are you guys using the phone on it's intended provider or are you unlocked and using it with a different SIM.

It seems to be affecting "places" for me as well, I can't check in, it gets stuck on "loading content..." but it works perfectly fine on WiFi
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andi3g:
When i start Faceboob first time (after reboot) i can see everything, but when i use it second time the gallery can not load, only see white pics. Have this issue with 3g and Wifi.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerds2You:
for those of you having this issue what network are you on? I am trying to narrow down the issue.

I have the issue on all 3 of my phones, Motorola Milestone, Nexus One (CM 7) and with my Desire HD (North American, tired with several different ROM)

The problem affects the following

No notifications in Facebook official app

Can't Check in to Places, if finds a list but when I click on one, it gets stuck loading data

Facebook for HTC Sense also has issues, 1st is with the Gallery

I cannot load my facebook friends galleries, it just gets stuck then times out and tells me they don't have any galleries (they do)

Contacts sync in Facebook for HTC Sense

All of the above do not work on my phone while on the Rogers wireless network, everything works perfectly while on Wi-Fi. I have used my Telus SIM in all three phones and it works perfectly, I have also used my friends Bell SIM in all 3 phones and it works perfectly. It only happens on Rogers but when I call Rogers tech support they refuse to acknowledge the issue and tell me to contact facebook about it.

Anyone else still having this issue?
[Epic 4G General] fookxixi:
Is there a video player app in the phone? I searched around but couldn't find one in my apps. But I can still find the videos through Myfiles and then play them. Is it supposed to be like this?

I think there should be some stock player app called video player or something. Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] ss4rob:
The stock video player is called Gallery. This had me for a while too, heh.
[Epic 4G General] lordcyrus:
Well what do you know. I was looking everywhere for it too after deleting MyFiles and low and behold, it's in the one place I looked at and dismissed because I view pictures there -_-
[Epic 4G General] fookxixi:
Thanks. You can play videos from gallery, same as using Myfiles or Astro. I do find there is an app "video player" in /system/app/. Maybe, Epic 4G just hides it from the app menu, which is different from other galaxy S phones. Don't know why.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
The Epic was gimped slightly... either because of Sprint or limitations when trying to adapt Touchwiz to landscape mode. We can only hope we'll get all the stuff back when we get the Froyo update.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Yeah. I hope so. I hate having a video player that restarts the movie every time I navigate away from it.
[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
The only reason to use the stock video player is if you're playing an MKV file or something crazy. "act1 video player" can play AVI files just fine, and it remembers where you left off for every video you play in it. So if you start 6 movies and dont finish, it will remember your position for each one. Great video player.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YaPaY:
Hi Guys,

I have a Desire with restart problem. I contacted with HTC and they say "you must send your phone and repair process can take minimum 10 days"

I'm not accept this, this phone already has manufacturing defect and HTC knows that already. Why ı should wait at least 10 days for it. HTC must collect all defekt desire's and they must change with new ones.

This is not my problem, this problem belongs to HTC and they must change the phone or they must dramatically decrease the repair process (max 1-2 days)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rastaman-FB:
how long have you had the phone for and where are you from?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
This is how all manufacturers work - the only way you'd get a quick swap would be to go to the shop you bought it from and see if they'll do something for you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YaPaY:
about three months ago. My friend bought from germany (vodafone shop) for me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I don't know where you are physically located, but different consumer laws apply in different countries.

Here in the UK, your contract of purchase is with whomever sold you the phone, not with HTC, so your first port of call should always be the seller, and these rights are in addition to any warranty that HTC provide. HTC's obligations under the warranty will be detailed in their warranty statement, but again this may vary from state to state.

You need to look into the consumer rights laws in your own particular country to determine if you have any right to complain about the delay in getting a repair.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YaPaY:
I live in Turkey. I will be 14-21 September in Germany. If they can not change or repair my desire until 21 September they must send it via regular post. (+10 days)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
If you've had the phone for 3 months, your chances of getting replacement are probably slim to non-existent, so a repair is your best bet, though I'm assuming that German consumer protection rights are similar to the UK.

You could however try kicking up a fuss in a Vodafone DE store, since they sold the original device. They might offer an exchange just to keep you quiet!

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gl23leung:
so.. you rooted and installed a custom rom, and now desire has rebooting problem and you expect HTC to replace the phone for free?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Where does it say he's rooted?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kite86:
Lol what are you talking about?

Reboot problem is there even with stock rom afaik, since it's caused by cpu overheat
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gl23leung:
based on his post history.. he got reboot problem after flashing custom rom (leedroid 1.8)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snudel:
if so, its sad, that they blame others for mistakes they did themself.

sad world we are living in...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Didn't check other posts, first thing would be for the OP to go back to stock and see if it works. If it does then it's the ROM and but either way it's currently not HTCs fault...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rastaman-FB:
shame in uk if it was within 60 days you have the right to return it and get a direct replacement
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YaPaY:
yes my desire is rooted, so what?

Is this illegal? ıs this a fault?

the restart problem about the hardware not because of rom or special programs.

:mad::mad::mad:

With custom rom or not HTC should collect all faulty devices from customers and give a new one.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Custom ROM = NO WARRANTY!!!

Send it back to HTC and you'll get laughed at and it sent right back to you - put the stock ROM back on it and if it's still the same then you can send it off for repair
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YaPaY:
I'm agree with you. It can be out of warranty.

I'm telling you guys an another story, right?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
What I'm saying is before you can send it back to HTC you need to go back to a stock ROM. If the rebooting issues stop then you know it's the custom ROM that was the issue. If not HTC are obliged under their warranty to repair/replace the device
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Not necessarily!

Have you tried returning the device to the stock ROM?

Also, with some custom ROMs you can overclock your CPU and thus "cook" it. Since this cannot be done on a stock ROM, who's fault would that be? Note that I'm not saying that you have OC'd - I'm just pointing out that installing a custom ROM does have the potential to damage the hardware.

Sorry, but that is incredibly naive! The simple facts of the matter are that if you have rooted your device, you *may* have inadvertently damaged the hardware. If that is the case, it is not HTC's fault, so why should they replace/repair your device free of charge?

If you are going to return your device to HTC, I strongly suggest you return it to stock configuration before you do so, because if you don't they may refuse to repair it under the warranty.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YaPaY:
Thanks EddyOS,

I will do exact that, thanks again. I'm pretty sure that is hardware problem because before root my device (in stock)it was restarting itself sometimes.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YaPaY:
@foxmaster,

I wrote before that "this is not about ROM". I'm sure that because before custom rom (with stock rom) I saw many times of my device restart. (specially, during car driving Edge and GPS on)

So, I know the warranty conditions. I will turn back to stock rom before it send of course.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
If you go back over your posts in this thread, you will notice that you didn't actually state that you had the problem with the stock ROM - you didn't even state you were running a custom ROM until gl23leung posted about it.

If you'd said that you had the problem with both stock and custom, half the posts in this thread wouldn't have been made! :)

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YaPaY:
You are right, I'm not hiding this information especially :) but I didn't except that "you are using custom rom, you should shame on you" likes messages.

LOL
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
We wouldn't say that!! :D

End of the day, if it still does it with the stock ROM then you know you've got a problem and it's then something you CAN take up with HTC. We're just trying to make life easier for all involved :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daern:
I've had the same problem from time to time, but since I:

a) Replaced the SD card

and

b) Swapped to NextSense 5.3

...I've had no problems at all.

Are you using app2sd? Are you using the OEM SD card?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YaPaY:
My card came with phone. 4gb samsung. Yes app2sd is installed.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
No one is saying "shame on you for rooting". Hell, I would be willing to bet every one who has posted here is rooted. What they are saying is that if you want help that might actually help, then we need all the info available to figure out what might be the problem. Stock roms are generally fairly conservative when it comes to pushing the hardware, custom roms, not so much. That could be the difference. :D Hope you're able to get all of your issues worked out.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cardiak:
I think you are missing the point. Originally you are saying HTC are wrong and shouldn't have you waiting for so long for repair when the reality is you have caused the issue and regardless of what you say, you have voided your warranty... in all fairness HTC owe you nothing. Vodafone owe you nothing. You should count yourself very lucky if you get anything back over this.

I'm not rooted and HTC still have my phone right now as the 2.2 OTA stopped my GPS from working. Im not moaning how long its going to take because I want the phone. HTC have been very efficient and I can track the repair progress. Can't ask for anything more.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YaPaY:
I think I must say the same thing hundred times more: This is not my fault, it's hardware issue, and since I bought the phone the problem is continuing.

Root or unroot this is another story and you can not judge me, sorry.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cardiak:
I am not saying it isn't the hardware, I am saying either way HTC will not care or help you. You should have sent it HTC first for repair, before voiding your warranty by installing a custom rom.

Then you wouldn't have this problem. As it is, no one can help you. Sorry.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Just gotta flash the stock ROM back on and he's back in warranty...assuming the stock ROM it came with is available
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I'm not sure you fully understand the OP's issue.

The OP's issue is that he thinks he shouldn't have to wait the 10 days or so it will take to get his phone back whilst it is being repaired, and that HTC should give him a new/replacement device. Given he's had the phone for more than 3 months, this is just an unrealistic expectation and is never going to happen.

He can send it back to HTC for repair, and since the phone does work, he can return it to stock anyway, so as far as HTC is concerned it would have never been rooted.

FWIW, my Desire failed completely and I was unable to return my to stock, but I sent it in for a warranty repair and it was repaired.

Dave

We have a saying for all this... **** Happens, Deal With It.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Puenos:
Well.. first.. IF my device is continuously rebooting on its own.. why would I wait let's say 2 months? root it, let another month pass until I finally decide to send it back?

On the other hand... 10 days is SUPERFAST! Idk WHAT ppl expect.. but they really seem to forget that there is a business to run for the manufacturer.. it's not like their whole company is on halt just because some guy who bought 1 unit of their product sent in his malfunctioning device?

Also IDK where the device would be sent.. but 10 days.. let's say shipping (to company and back) would take each 2-3 days.. HTC would have a maximum of 6 days to repair all devices which fall into this timespan :/ doesn't really sound that much to me..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wanted008:
:o This could not have been explained better than your self.

Exactly What was he doing for three months? And why not just stop the whining and crying and for your own sake just put a stock Rom in and send it for repair.
