Does anyone know if you can restore the BIOS from dell'hd2 any problems?

On my HD2 have done everything possible to recover (Task29 - Soft reset - restore original ROM from SD), but now I think it's a hardware or BIOS problem.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilco:
I do not understand your problem,

Can you enter the bootloader or not?

If you can enter the bootloader, Which version of (H)SPL is mentioned on the bootloader screen?

If on the other hand you mean you bricked your phone, then there is no possibility other than using JTAG.

Otherwise please specify phone type (T9193, T8585, TMOUS)

(H)SPL version

Which rom you want to flash?

Does your computer see the phone correctly?

Does CustomRUU run completely or does it stop / crash? (Which percntage of CusomRUU was run?
[Epic 4G General] xliderider:
Posted this in the Fascinate forum, but I'd like to know if it is affecting your devices as well:

I believe there is a bug in the signal strength indication on the Fascinate, the one that shows the signal strength in -dBm.

You can see the signal strength of the cell signal on the Menu, Settings, About, Status screen. Or you can place a widget on your Home screen. There are several widgets available, I'm using Mobile Signal Widget.

I have a network extender, which basically creates a cell tower right in your home. With my Motorola Droid, I used to get signal strengths down to about -50 something and 60's in indicated signal strength. I can hold both of our Fascinates right next to the network extender's antenna and they will read no better than -86 dBm. So far I've seen signal strengths from -86 dBm to -106 dBm (terrible).

I believe there is a bug in the software (Baseband) on the Fascinate. Previously, I thought the hardware (antenna/radio) wasn't very good, but now it may be software related.

Has anyone seen a signal strength stronger than -86 dBm on the Fascinate/Epic?
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
I remember seeing it at -68 dBm on my Epic yesterday.
[Epic 4G General] xliderider:
Hmm, thanks for that. Was that on 3G?
[Epic 4G General] TheMostToys:
I also feel that this is impacting battery life. My signal is always reading worse than the Evo and TP2 (in the same location) but calls are not dropped.

This leads me to believe that the signal is actually better than the phone thinks. but since the phone thinks the signal is weaker than it is, it boosts the radio power (thus eating more battery.)

If this is not the case, the flip side is much worse and the Epic's antenna is a poor design, requiring higher power.
[Epic 4G General] arashed31:
Every phone that Samsung comes out with that runs Android and the QSC6085 modem processor always has the same general problems.

The Fascinate, Epic 4G, Moment, Intercept, and Acclaim all generally have poor battery life, signal, GPS, and network performance issues, and other related bugs.

I know of other phones like the Droid/X/2 that have the same Qualcomm modem and have no issues whatsoever with network and GPS connectivity.

Is there any way to get source for the Droid phones and fix what's wrong on the Epic?
[Epic 4G General] xliderider:
Thanks for all the replies. Verizon CS wasn't any help, at least the one Guy that responded to my email that I sent them.

LOL. He told me I have to contact the developer of the signal strength app I had on my phone for the problem I was reporting. WTF?

I responded by asking him to send it to higher level technical support personnel.

We'll see how that goes. :rolleyes:

In the meantime, I'll probably exchange my Fascinate for a Droid X to get a phone with better reception, GPS function, and network performance.
[Epic 4G General] rjmjr69:
I have the newest Airrave just installed today its in the other room behind my flatscreen and I get 65-db GPS locks in milli seconds and calls are crystal clear data is extremely fast
[Epic 4G General] Tonythetigger:
Does your phone heat up in the back when you use it? Mine gets relatively warm if I'm doing anything
[Epic 4G General] Dameon87:
That is pretty common on most phones if you have WIFI enabled. So if you are using wifi, then that is more than likely the cause.
[Epic 4G General] ConceptVBS:
If your in a week signal area, it will use more battery power to connect to a tower. Thus, increase in heat.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] AL2007:
The communications screen in comm manager on my HTC Fuse suddenly stopped working.

It shows the Phone as being "on", but when I try to toggle it or any other device on the screen, their GUI lines get highlighted and the on/off slides do not respond. And the lines stay highlighted even if I click on them again.

Any ideas as to how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

[Fascinate General] boristheblade:
Whenever the phone is in bad signal area (usually in class) the phone always makes the annoying alert sound for signal lost signal found. I don't think there is an option to turn it off... Maybe I can just delete the system tone? Somone want to do some research for me to find out which tone it is? I'd do it myself, but I'm a busy man. :-) I'm rooted and all so if anyone can just give me the file location or some other idea if I'm not right...

Thanks
[Fascinate General] namebrandon:
I've been trying to fix this for a while now, I'm at a loss. There doesn't seem to be a setting, and I can't find the sound file anywhere.

The only way to stop this sound (that I've been able to do) is to put the phone in silent mode. I think Airplane Mode will do it as well, but I haven't tested that.
[Fascinate General] Toturdriver:
This has been annoying me as well. I have a Captivate from AT&T from work and I loved it so I got the Fascinate for myself. The funny thing is that the Captivate doesn't have this problem so Verizon must have modified the ROM to do this. Hopefully when ROM's start getting released it will be fixed.
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
found a solution to this porblem. the new update that vzw is putting out(not froyo) specifically says that it will stop this sound,
[Networking] stevebo:
Hi,

This is my first post, so I hope it's in the right area. I have a Droid 1 and am trying to use Azilink to access the internet where there is no Wifi by tethering it.

As instructed (The forum prevents me from posting a URL to the instructions), I've installed OpenVPN successfully (?) on my Windows Vista machine. I have enabled USB debugging on the phone. And I think I already have the Android USB driver as I can backup the droid to my computer via USB.

The sticking point is: adb install azilink.apk, which gives me "Device Not Found" on my host system, although it downloads fine on my phone.

I also get this error when I do the forwarding step.

I'm missing something basic here. What might be wrong?

Thanks,

Steve
[Networking] gm2racer:
Steve, have you tried a later version of adb? I got the same issue with my Fascinate until I tried the latest adb. See my response on the azilink issue site.
[Networking] stevebo:
Thanks

I ended up buying PDANet, so thanks but I'm all set.

After having changed nearly every icon in every apk in my AppDrawer, I am stuck on this one and hope someone can point me in the right direction. What apk is this setting icon in? I have looked through all the Settings apks and HtcSettings apks yet have either overlooked it time and again, or it is simply elsewhere I haven't found.

Is any one 3G messing up? For the past 3 weeks now my data speeds has been so slow. When ever I try to watch a video it sometimes work for 2 secs or just say "sorry, cannot play video". I called sprint and they gave me the run around. I'm using Fresh 3.2.0.0. stock kernel.

Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malefickus:
Not sure when using other kernels, but the phone never says when it is on a 1x signal. It always says either 3G or 4G. Due to this, you may experience slow "3G" speed which any other phone would show as 1x

Sent from my HTC Evo
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlvox:
I am also on Fresh, it has been extremely slow. Sometimes I will get 27kbs down and 296kbs up, way slower than anything including dialup. I still haven't found anything to increase my speed. I am now on Fresh EVO ROM 3.5.0.1 and I'm rooted with Unrevoked Forever, I've been wanting to go back to stock because this is really frustrating. There is a area around my town that has 4G and my phone wouldn't connect my friend also has a EVO with the same rom and his would. at the time I was rooted with Unrevoked 3 but he told me to re root my phone with Unrevoked Forever and turn s-off. So I did and now I can't get into recovery It just goes to the white screen that says "HTC EVO 4G". Still not sure if I can connect to 4G. I've heard you can go back to stock by using HTC sync and getting the RUU but everything I find doesn't show much and people's comments say it doesn't work. So if you or anyone else knows anything please help. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazelfoot:
I'm not sure if the speeds really even have to do with anything but Sprint themselves.

On an old ****ty Samsung Moment my download speeds are 200-400 kb/s

On an Evo my download speeds are 100-200.

Both are too ****ty to be worth using.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlvox:
Well I called Sprint and they didn't help for anything. Not sure how it happened to my phone but when I first got it and for a few months of having it I was downloading at 1.5 mbps down and about 900 kbs up on average. My uncle did a speed test on his Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S) on t-mobile his 3g was 2.1 mbs up and 1.1 mbs down. That only makes me hate my phone even more.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimasp6:
Root your phone. Download msl reader app. ##data# in dialer on a sense rom. Click edit. Enter msl code. Hit menu and restore. Chose to restart phone when the pop up comes up. Worked for me. Used to get around 130 kbs down. Now I get around 800-1100 down in my room.

I have only 40mb free internal, yet I don't have many apps at all.

Twitter takes up 10mb, maps takes up about the same, FB the same. Contacts storage takes up 17mb. so already almost 100mb used?!

Is this normal? On 2.1 eclair I think I had 90mb free. does this space affect phone speed or only app storage?

cheers

P.S. I have moved some apps to SD when the option was available in "manage application" only 3 megs of apps moved over though.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cpt_Chaos:
I got my Desire shipped with 2.2.

When I try to export programs over to the SD card, they are greyed out. Is there any reason for that? Or how can I move them?

It is a little frustrating not having a lot of internal memory to work with. I thought with 2.2 you could move programs over to the SD card ???????
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
With the Google A2SD you can only move apps over if the developer has enabled it for A2SD. Otherwise you get a greyed out button.

If you want more space then rooting and going for a custom ROM with A2SD+ is the way to go.

As for the OP, Facebook is on the Desire so isn't part of the storage you install to unless you're still on Android 2.1 and you're on about the update.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
I was thinking back to before froyo, when it was good practice in Nexus tweaking to replace the stock launcher.apk in system/app with a modded or third party launcher. I'm not sure if this would be a good bet or not with all the touch wiz integration on my fascinate. Can anyone clue me in on whether this would be worth a shot?
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Ha. Answered my own question. Moved the adw launcher file from data/app to system/app, then removed the two TouchWiz30Launcher files from system/app. Phone went bonkers with both launchers force closing continuously. Did a hard shut down, and on start up, everything is great.

ADW is the default launcher, touchwiz is gone, and no evident problems at all so far. Will do more testing and post if anything borks.
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
What do you gain by doing that? I don't seem to be suffering any ill effects by having LauncherPro as default, and leaving TouchWiz alone. I'm assuming it's running somewhere in the background, but isn't hurting anything. In fact, I'm wondering if some of the TouchWiz apps like the dialer and such require it to be running. If I'm wrong, and removing TouchWiz not only can be done safely, but also produces some benefit, please let us know.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Doesn't affect anything else system wise that I've found, and I've been looking. The main benefit is speed. The stock launcher runs regardless if in system/app, I just don't see it. I suspect battery use as well, but surely negligible. You don't have access to the samsung widgets, but I dislike them anyway, and ported them out. The net responsiveness of my phone is pretty impressive. For the first time I'm not missing my Nexus. Missing froyo though.

I did also disable all the other integrated social networking syncing, mostly for battery life reasons. I can't stand unnecessary crap running in the background.

End of it is that from what I have seen so far, ADW is a lot faster, more functional, and has less battery usage than stock.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
I also made the same modifications to my fiancee's phone, with the same results and no ill effects so far. She loves the performance differences so far.
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Hmm, well I've of the opinion that if it ain't broke, you don't fix it, so I think I'll leave LauncherPro in the /data/app folder. It's so fast already, I probably wouldn't even notice whatever speed boost it may get by moving it. Thanks for testing though!
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
No problem. I'm sure I'll fu this phone up 10x before we see good development on it. :D
[Fascinate General] theicemonkey:
I'm intrigued by your progress and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

You wouldn't happen to have a list of the items you've removed, would you? Do you think Angel's Odin /system restore would fix your phone should you accidentally wreck it (because I would like to do this too)?
[Fascinate General] Zennmaster:
Just tried this with Launcher Pro, and can confirm the results. I have to re-install my non-LP widgets, but that's expected.

To allow for any future backtracking, I simply renamed the TouchWiz30Launcher files with a ".bak" extension, so if things go south, I can just adb in and rename them back.

Nice find!
[Fascinate General] bikeandestroyx:
Out of curiosity, the samsung lockscreen is still there correct?
[Fascinate General] martyotaku:
Guys sorry but im a bit lost when u replaced the stock launcher csn u use touchwiz widgets with the new launcher or not?
[Fascinate General] Zennmaster:
Yup. Although I've been using Widget Locker, which gives a similar experience to stock Android, but with widgets and custom sliders.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
I hail from the world of Nexus and ClockworkMod with Nandroid. Odin is alien to me. I get the idea though, and I'm sure I'll be playing with it soon enough.

I will post a list of the stuff I've pulled after I get to my office. Unbeknownst to them, recently they have been paying me good money to play with my phone all day.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
No. you should have a healthy dislike of the Samsung widgets before replacing the stock launcher.
[Fascinate General] calhounhusker:
Just got this phone last night. Rooted, lag fix and am running LauncherPro Plus. I kinda actually like some of the Samsung widgets but not enough for me to keep that launcher. They did some good things with it but it does slow the phone down.
[Fascinate General] astraelraen:
If you replace/remove the Touchwiz launcher do you lose the pulldown notification bar at the top with the WIFI/etc toggles?

I use launcherpro now and would remove Touchwiz just for the sake of removing it, but I don't want to lose the pulldown notification bar with toggle icons included in it.
[Fascinate General] martyotaku:
Oh if i lose my touchwiz widgets there is no point. I love the daily breifing widget and the scrolling twitter widget. Ill pass!
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Nope. The notification bar is not part of the launcher. Only the home screens and app drawers are launcher based.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:

[Fascinate General] DigitalDementia:
This post seems to have fudged up? I can't see the list of removed bloat with nill for side affects. I'm looking to root and do the lagfix tonight but would also like to know what I can get rid of with no harm to my device. I'm comfortable with adb and what not but I still panic when my phone is acting improperly I'm far from an expert I'm more of a cut and paste kind of guy if you catch my drift :P
[Fascinate General] theicemonkey:
Maybe he just removed one thing too many?

I have tried moving Launcher Pro into /system/app instead of /data/app (after removing TouchWiz) but can't seem to get the market to recognize it. Have any of you figured out a way to have Launcher Pro installed to the the /system/app directory and still be able to receive updates through the market? Whenever I click on install through the market it installs it to my /data/app folder, even if I'm currently running it through /system/app. Frustrating!
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Current junk list. I left live wallpapers in this time, and found a good bit of crap that's safe to pull. Caveat is that the Backup Sync should not be selected from the sync menu if you pull it, or you'll get a freeze and need to reboot.

Other than that, there's 0 issues with this list so far. As far as the market recognizing the app location for updates, you may be able to fix that with titanium, i believe it has a market fix feature, but not sure. I'll just watch for the version number to change, and pull it down and push it to system/app if there's an update until we see CM.

I also found the files that trip the loss of bootanimation occasionally on lag fix. I pulled the working ones and put them up on Mediafire Here Extract the three files and drop them in the /system/bin directory if you lose the bootanimation after lag fixing, and all should be well.

[Fascinate General] devlp1213:
I'm did this with LP and the launcher itself does feel faster this won't effect quad scores at which is why you get same scores. also I did it with root explorer

Thanks guys. Anything to help me get more batty life.

Yep, works for me. Nice find.
[Fascinate General] goldenstorm:
Worked for me. I can tell a difference in LP's responsiveness. May have to hop on over to the LP Forum and see if changing install directories is a possibility for future builds. That would solve the market issue.
