I still love my Hero, if anything I can drop it and be happy it's aluminium surround will take the brunt of the impact. Even 18 or so months on it's still good although as with all modern tech it became out dated quickly. Same can be said in all areas not just phones. My PC is a relic in todays standards, but thats off topic. I think Gingerbread will be on the DHD regardless if is or isn't officially supported by HTC, the Android community has some of the most proactive devs I think I've ever seen!
[Desire HD General] super_03:
i really want but i heard that it requires dual core ! SO! i cant....

[HD2 General] henry_wong:
Hello everybody.

I have installed nfs shift into my htc hd2 recently. But it doesn't work. nfs shift told me to tilt to steer, yet I can control the car. It seems that there's a problem with the g-sensor. I have reset the device once and it worked! But it didnt work again after installing some softwares.

nfs shift is the best game that I have ever seen in winmo, but it cant be played on the best winmo device, hd2 :(
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
uninstall ANY resco software and try again.....
[HD2 General] henry_wong:
haha i have restore my machine again. But I think you are correct, I had a resco photo manager installed in my phone when I experienced this problem.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
heres the clever bit......

install resco to device memory...

copy the folder "program files/photo manager" to your sd card....

uninstall resco.....

create a start menu shortcut to the copy of the program on the sd card...

and.........BOOOM!.......

you have both apps working in glorious harmony....

enjoy.... :D
[HD2 General] Xander:
Thanks for advice that's it - Resco Photo Manager blocks it somehow. Resco Explorer is OK.
[HD2 General] cifrata:
yep the reason is in Resco Photo Manager.

i uninstalled it and now the G-Sensor on NFS Shift works perfectly :))
[HD2 General] Laurentius26:
Resco Photomanager I use as well and G-Sensor works fine. ;)

Edit; I just see you use it for NFS Shift, ok. :)
[HD2 General] 1951xela:
Place phone face down , on table or similiar,so you can see calibrate box just over edge of table,........ tap on calibrate......sorted.
[HD2 General] pp4pres:
The solution: delete SmiSensorServer_1.dll from Windows folder.

This does'nt affect Resco Photo Manager in any way (automatic landscape mode still working), and restore the g-sensor ability in EA Mobile games like NFS Shift and Monopoly.
[HD2 General] aduly:
1951xela - Your suggestion worked for me, thank you....
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jdyates:
So awhile back on the Cyanogen Wiki, i read that the MyTouch 1.2 had a different touchscreen manufacturer than the HTC Magic or original 32B MyTouch3G, and that 32B ROMS would work with no touchscreen, BUT, i flashed a ROM from the G1 section, which is a 32B port of the stock Rogers 32A HTC Magic 2.1 Sense, and it WORKED. I read through the entire thread, and nowhere did it say "MyTouch 1.2 support", leading me to believe that i was the first to try it.

Basically what i ask is this: Since that particular 32B ROM worked with no touchscreen problems, can i flash any 32B ROM? :D

EDIT: An idea just popped into my head, is it possible that when i flashed the Stock Cupcake ROM for root, the Touchscreen drivers were somehow permanently embedded in the phone?, if so, BADASS!

(Testing different ROMs should be fun!)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] MrShides:
I'm not a dev so take what I say with a grain of salt.

I believe flashing a 32b rom makes it so that you only have 192mb (or whatever the b had) of ram instead of 288mb, and will eventually cause memory leaks or something like that after being on for a while.

If you run into issues, that might be why.

Id like to know if its possible to install thale stock mail.apk and htc mail widget to a Nonsense Evo.

If not is there something similar I could install??

EVO nosense.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] neodorian:
Specifically what are you looking to do? Non-sense ROMs should have a mail app. Not sure about widgets since I don't use mail widgets but do you just want something that displays emails on a homescreen widget?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] eggie84:
Thats what im looking for. The stock rom has a mail widget where I can see my emails on one of the screens 4x4 size. Where I can check my 2 hotmail accounts and my gmail account.

EVO nosense.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] scev5:
Ive been using pure messenger. Looks a little nicer than the sense one, but can be a slight buggy with updating.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] eggie84:
Ill give that a try. But more suggestions will ve read.

EVO nosense.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] eggie84:
Using pure messenger. Almost perfect substitute for what I was looking.

Thanks for the info.

EVO nosense.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Shane112358:
Sigh, I'm also looking for a solution to this. On stock I had the Sense email widget for my exchange emails and it was awesome. The lack of good 4x4 email widgets is appalling.

I've tried Pure Messenger but it requires K9 mail which I simply can't get to work with my server.

I've tried "email widget" from the market, had to do some terminal work to get it to install as a system app, and it works, but looks like crap, text is way too small and runs together.

Really missing that Sense email widget. :mad:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casualonejp:
I installed the new zen2.2 rom today and had a working clockwork recovery. Here is where I went stupid, I downloaded the kernel update but rather than running it via update.zip I flashed it using flash_image recovery via adb shell.

Now my phone comes up to fastboot usb and never goes any further, been waiting hours! I have tried booting into fastboot/hboot and it does nothing. I have booted to hboot before successfully but now nothing.

If I run adb devices it shows no devices. If I run fastboot devices it does show my device.

Whats next?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASimmons:
If you cant get into fastboot and you cant get into recovery then you m ight have bricked your phone. Did you try a hard reset?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casualonejp:
How do you do a hard reset?

Here is a little more info. I believe it does actually get to fastboot usb as it says so on the top left of the screen and I can run fastboot commands but most commands say error. If I do fastboot devices it shows the device connected.

Little more info - when I try doing a back to basics RUU update it connects, shows the rom version, starts the update and then at about 88% every time, it goes right to a error [171] usb connection error. So its communicating but never finishes. Tried with the sprint RUU stock rom, another that was built by one of the devs in the Hero community and still both do the same.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASimmons:
I'm pretty sure you can flash a custom recovery from fastboot. Using something like fastboot flash xxx dont quote me on this but it sounds like you have a soft brick and you just need to get a recovery back on the phone. From there you can then flash and rom back on the phone. Do some research on flash a recovery from fastboot.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casualonejp:
Right, I also believe that if I could get a recovery back on the phone I would be good as gold! Here is the problem though. I have tried running "fastboot flash recovery [recovery.img]" but it gives me the below error. I have tried multiple key combination's to get into hboot but nothing works. If anyone has any other key combination's I could try please let me know!

D:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (3720 KB)... FAILED (remote: not allow)
finished. total time: 0.001s
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
1st:The ONLY time you use flash_image recovery is when you are installing a recovery console, NOT a kernel

If you notice the kernel is in a signed .zip folder. When you use flash_image command it needs to be .img file

2nd: Put the recovery image on your sdcard

Put it in the tools folder of AndroidSDK and do

adb push recovery.img /sdcard

Now type in

$ adb shell
$ su
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASimmons:
Yeah I think he knows now not to flash kernels... atleast I hope so. +1 for your post.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casualonejp:
I am fully aware of how the how-to's and what not to do's. Like I said, it was a mistake, call it a bit of anxiety due to the new 2.2 rom that I was trying to get installed. I did it too quick and without much common sense :rolleyes:.

For the second part, I am unable to do anything with adb as my computer does not see the phone. When running adb devices it is not listed. Only command that sees my phone is fastboot devices, but again I am unable to run anything aside from that due to previous error.:confused:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASimmons:
First do you have the eng spl, does your hoot say s (on)

Have you tried that command but point it to the sdcard? Also do you have any files on your sdcard like say a recovery.img or an update zip. If you don't you might need to manually move the file to it and try some of these commands

fastboot update /sdcard/<imagepackage>.zip [-w] -w will wipe the cache and the user/data

or your previous flash recovery but with the file pointing to the file on the sdcard

edit: sorry i dont think fastboot will see the sdcard but try anyways.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casualonejp:
I will try the fastboot command right now. I am unable to get to hboot with any of the key combination I have tried, before I was able to. Only thing that always comes up is the HTC white screen with fastboot usb at the top left. Can't see what hboot version or anything else I have due to that limitation.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASimmons:
After reading a bit you should be able to do something like i described

- copy amon_ra image to yor sd

- flash_image recovery /sdcard/name-of-recovery.img

hopefully you have a way to copy the files to your sd card like say a microsd card converter and stick it in your comp. Or I have had to use a freaking camera once for my g1 after being in a similar situation.

edit: ok so maybe you wont be able to if you spl is in s-off mode.

if you can access your card and see if you have nadroids you could also try this

fastboot flash system /path/to/nandroid/system.img

fastboot flash boot /path/to/nandroid/boot.img

fastboot flash userdata /path/to/nandroid/userdata.img

fastboot reboot

hopefully you have these backed up on your puter to.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casualonejp:
Negative on the fastboot commands. Also did have a nandroid but on old sdcard which died. I read that I could use anothers nandroid backup but I am currently trying to find one to test.

Tried doing the RUU method with stock/custom roms and it gets as far as seeing the image but when I click on "ok" to start the recovery, it goes to "waiting on bootloader" and then at 88% it errors to a 171 error stating usb connection error.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASimmons:
I would do some research its my understanding that you can't be bricked since you can get into spl. You should be able to put an .img file on your sd card and flash it. Sorry I can give you any more input.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casualonejp:
Ya I have been researching non stop all yesterday evening and today so far all day. I just cant get it to do anything. I will keep researching though. Thanks
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
Did you fix this yet?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SportsPT:
Anyone figure this out yet...I have the same issue and haven't been able to resolve it yet. Still with a brick at this point!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PS4AndroidHacker:
Hey guys,if your stuck at fastboot(As I just was tonight), try in your CMD(if running Windows) fastboot reboot-bootloader or fastboot reboot to reboot as normal,I'll try to keep you updated to get through all this. I am at a loss right now but searching for answers first before i go about asking.

Answer to MY problem(maybe not yours): OK,I have come to the conclusion here tonight that I had a soft brick. What I did was remove the battery,put the battery back in,restarted the phone normally,then I ran the HTC Sprint Hero MR 2.27.651.6 on my computer(essentially restoring back to unrooted factory settings). This worked for me. I am totally refreshed and happy that my phone is ok and all. Yes I may have to go back and re-root but this only take me bout 20 minutes most to root and re-flash a CyanMod7 Nightly Rom. Hope my info can help out somebody!

Greetings All,

I just wanted to let everyone know that the Otterbox Defender Series is now available for our HTC Desires. I am sure that I am not the only one who has been patiently awaiting it.

I have not used an Otterbox product before, however have read some reviews and they were all positive, so that was what justified the price on it. I love my Desire and it's worth the money for the added protection for the phone.

If anyone is planning on getting one, make sure you google search for a COUPON CODE first, I managed to save 10% on mine, and if you live in the US I believe you can get find a code for free shipping.

Also, if anyone has any experience with Otterbox, I'm sure the other Desire owners would be interested in hearing it.

I cannot post links, but if you go to Otterbox DOT com or do a google search you can easily find the site.
[Desire Accessories] ecitron:
...I don't see any ''new'' case for the desire. The 2 models have always been the same.
[Desire Accessories] shaboobla:
Yes, but up until now the defender series case was listed as coming soon.
[Desire Accessories] @MARK:
I am taking the availability claim with a pinch of salt.

I took the time to order the Commuter case for the Desire from the Otterbox website 3 weeks ago when it was showing as "in stock".

Only after 3 weeks and a couple of emails have I been told that it has not even been shipped yet as it is not yet available.

Somewhat annoyed.
[Desire Accessories] shaboobla:
Ouch. Nothing worse than waiting for stuff to arrive in the mail - and then to find out that it hadn't been sent at all.
[Desire Accessories] LBTaylor1984:
Well there definately in stock, mines just arrived. get on it lads.

I'll be reviewing mine when i get a mo. I'll let you know the score.
[Desire Accessories] Mikroft:
Looks pretty bulky. Makes a sleek phone not so sleek.
[Desire Accessories] LBTaylor1984:
depends on application really.

i work in the building industry so i need something HD i can't be dropping it out on a building site and it explodes into pieces.

I think if your looking for sleek head for the communte
[Desire Accessories] fentot:
If you are in the UK you can order both defender and commuter from play.com - still have to wait a few weeks though !!
[Desire Accessories] WorldIRC:
As someone who regularly does reviews for OtterBox, I can say, with great pride, that the products they release are great (for those who haven't used them). Just be prepared, if you buy the Defender, your device WILL be larger than many may want it to be. Above form, although they do take it into consideration, functionality is it's primary goal and it does it well!
[Desire Accessories] shaboobla:
I got mine yesterday, it does add some bulk to the phone but I do like how rugged it looks. Shipping was quick for me, but I am in North America so that had a factor in shipping speed.

The phone feels well protected. It feels as if I dropped it, the phone would be okay. I have access to all my buttons and ports. The camera is not hindered at all and it has an opening for the external speaker. The light sensor and notification LED have openings as well.

The front part of the case has a screen protector attached. This is my only complaint with the product. I wish I could remove their screen protector and just use a generic one. The touch screen is still responsive but I like a generic one because it's easier to replace when it gets scratched.

Keep this all with a grain of salt, as I've only had the product for a day. This is more of a first look than an in depth review.

I hope this helps people who are considering this product for their Desire.
[Desire Accessories] fentot:
How much bigger is the desire with the defender ? I have one on order but worried it might be too big.

Got mine today (from Fort Collins, CO to my doorstep in 2 days. Not bad).

Has no one posted pics? I'll take some if no one else has.
[Desire Accessories] Deleted member 2496007:
For those wanting to use their own screen protectors, check out the Case-Mate Tough Case. Had it two weeks and I love it. It comes with a screen protector, and it's the best I've applied. You are free to use your own though.

Uses the same dual material construction of soft silicone rubber inner, and hard plastic outer shell. And when I got it from play.com it was in sale at £15. Would have Been happy had I paid full price though. Very well made case.

Adds minor bulk, you Just have to decide yourself what compromise you are prepared to make on form over function. Personally I like the look and feel it lends the phone. Plus it comes off easy enough when you are home. Sure the otterbox offering well be similar.
[Desire Accessories] sorch:
Some okay-ish pictures uploaded.

A couple of points:

The buttons and trackpad are accomodated by cutouts in the plastic film. Because the film doesn't stick to the phone (at least it doesn't to mine), it makes pressing the buttons a little more difficult than it otherwise could be. It also means that dust/dirt could get in.

The plastic film doesn't fit close to the screen toward the bottom as it does at the top. This means that touches aren't registered until you push the film down onto the screen as you press. The top is fine. A little annoying, but not the end of the world.

Does anyone else's Defender do the same?

Someone posted asking how much bigger it is. I'd say that it doubles the thickness, and not a lot to the height/width. Certainly very chunky.
[Desire Accessories] shaboobla:
My defender is the same, the screen protector is not a perfect fit. I think that the screen protector that comes attached to the faceplate could be easily removed, and I plan on trying to do so when my fresh batch of stock screen protectors comes in.. (bought some cheap anti-glare ones from ebay)

Other than that minor annoyance, I really am satisfied and impressed with the case. Sorry about not posting pics, but my only camera is my phone... :P
[Desire Accessories] nfsnfsnfs:
The defender case has even the screen and the button covered .The track button is obstructed for easy scrolling ?

The commuter case looks good in this case .

@sorch thanks for photos :) .
[Desire Accessories] fentot:
Ok, I have decided to cancel my defender order with play. Looks too big and to many issues with the screen protector. I'm considering the commuter case now - any one got it yet?
[Desire Accessories] razor1394:
I got my Defender today and I'm happy with it. I don't have any screen protector issues and I like the inbuilt screen protector concept better than using a separate because this one covers more and is stronger. The belt clip is very nice as well. The belt clip for the Iphone 3G Defender case kept coming off randomly. This one sits tight. I really like the bulky feeling when holding it in the hand. The phone feels to thin and slippery without a case or with a standard silicon case.

Some issues however:

The charger and data port silicon protecter opens up sometimes at unappropriate occasions.

Both speakers are not covered with filters like on the iphone.

The headphone jack silicon protector seems rather weak. Fortunately I only use bluetooth.

Moving icons across desktops is problematic as the fingertip does not reach all the way to the left or right. However I find this problematic without a case as well.

This case is not like the Iphone case which can handle some splashes of water as there are holes for the front buttons, the optical trackpad and the speakers.
[Desire Accessories] sorch:
Where did you order it from? You don't have any issues with the lower bit of the screen protector?

I emailed Otterbox about this - I immediately got a reply saying that they are sending a replacement part out.

Whether this is a misunderstanding or a fixed design, I guess I'll see next week.
[Desire Accessories] razor1394:
I got mine from Otterbox.com.

It is correct that there is a slight space between the lower part of the screen and the screen protector but I wouldn't call this a major issue. I tried scrolling very very gentle from the bottom without pressing against the screen and there were no problems.
[Desire Accessories] shaboobla:
I successfully removed the screen protector that came with the case, and have switched over to just a stock one that attaches directly to the screen.

I like it much better this way, as it gives me better access to my buttons and optical trackball. It also allowed me to choose the type of screen protector used and I took an anti glare screen protector that seems to be working out nicely.
[Desire Accessories] fentot:
Otterbox commuter has arrived from mobilefun. Actually bigger than I thought so I'm not sure how big the defender was going to be. Quite pleased with it, bought Martin fields screen protector as well, making the whole thing virtually perfect.
[Desire Accessories] sebr:
I just got my HTC Desire and think about ordering a Otterbox Defender.

Would be nice if some users share their experiences with the case after a few months of use. :)
[Desire Accessories] razor1394:
I've had the Otterbox Defender for several months with the HTC Desire. I've liked it but there has been several problems. The biggest problem is that the silicon rubber protection easily get's detached from sides of the polycarbonate shell specially when attaching the belt clip. I think I heard that this has gotten better with an updated revision of the case. The silicon rubber also gets detached from the back of the polycarbonate shell after a while. This has happened on my Defender for the Desire HD as well. The speakers are also not protected at all unlike the iPhone case. The headphone protection is also very weak and could probably easily loose. Personally I only use bluetooth stereo headsets so I don't care about the headphone jack.

All in all I think this case is "ok" but with a lot of bugs. Maybe if you want something to work perfectly you may want to look at another case however I have not seen many cases that protects the phone so much as with the Otterbox Defender.

I think Otterbox concentrates their development on iPhone and iPad thus those cases are much better.

I'm currently using a Desire HD with Otterbox Defender.
