What's going to kill you is latency... other than that I don't have a clue if or how you can do this. Never tried since I get bad reception in my house.

I only use it for Netflix right now. So latency isn't a big deal. I would rather have higher download rates.

Yeah it looks like it supports Net Filter for wifi tether, right? Have you used this before or do you know it works? I'll try it out, but just curious.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omgz:
yes i can confirm that kernel works for sure with wifi tether... no problems. i think i downloaded like a couple gigs on my laptop when i was away from home. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Monkey:
Oh, wifi tether for sure. I'm looking for wired tether. Have you tried that?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritzbrie:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
Make sure if you are running A cm6 based build that You go into

Settings

cyanogenmod settings

User interface

accelerometer rotation

Select either 90 180 and 270

one of those must be check or the screen will not rotate.

This is only with Cm6 builds.

What is your normal temperature reading when you guys are using your phone? I know that its suppost to get hot because of the snapdragon, but is it normal to overheat after a few minutes of use.

[HD2 General] joeminati:
I have a HD2 with miri v18 and darkstone sense v.2 and everything was working well until 2 days ago when the screen isnt responsive as before. It will not let me out of the unlock screen. It works sporatically at times, but overall, mostly not. It can possibly be a software issue, but someone suggested sending it to tmobile for service. My question is this. If the screen is cracked and I am not the original buyer of the phone, will I be in good terms to get the replacement. Or will tmobile just assume since it is cracked, it is by my own doings as to why the phone isnt working well.:confused:
[HD2 General] xnifex:
if the screen is cracked they won't replace it under warranty at all.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Seconded. Cracked screens are not covered under warranty.
[HD2 General] Hodai:
Same Issue

I was using my Tmous to day listining to Pandord using Froyo 2.2 Darkstone Desire 2.1 and phone reset it self. Didn't think nothing of it and then after reboot screen was not responsive. My screen doesn't seem to be broken no nicks nothing of that kind rebooted multiple times and still no response from screen. I used Miri_Steve0007_EleganciaGTX_V4.0_FINAL to flash then installed Android on Sd card :confused: because my phone doesn't work i can recieve phone calls just can't dial out :mad: I am just wondering if the

HTC sence

file is corrupted im flashing various ROMs using the instructions on flashing each time
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Prolly not. I would flash to a new ROM and see if that helps matters.
[HD2 General] well_nuc:
from what i have experienced, phone will get a bit hot from flashing a new ROM, and then from all the data syncing/downloading from initial setup. when phone gets hot, greater chance for screen to be unresponsive. give it some time to cool down. also, when unlocking phone, try to push the call or home button instead of the power button to turn on the screen before unlocking. some touch screen problems have been from something wrong with the power button (hardware problem).
[Desire General] Chad_Petree:
Whats up with the 1230 mAH battery? even worse than the one on the desire? i realize this new cpu uses less power, but still they should have gone with an 1500 mAh battery to have decent battery life :/ im worried they sacrificed battery life to built a slimmer device

Is the screen regular lcd os super lcd?

Why did they remove the kickstand and the hdmi port?
[Desire General] Chad_Petree:
so everybody loved every inch of the desire hd? no complaints?
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
I personally would wait for reviews before passing any judgement. Looking at specs alone can be deceiving.

Just a few weeks ago, people were complaining about the 800mhz cpu in the G2/DesireZ. But benchmarks show that it's just as fast, if not faster, than the 1ghz cpu in the Desire and Nexus One.
[Desire General] sharpey:
I agree with with the OP i was all set to pre order the Desire HD until i saw it had a smaller battery, HTC claim the new CPU etc requires a lot less power but i`ll hold on until people tell us what its like in the real world.
[Desire General] saiprasad30:
Well I like it for the SIZE...... and comes with FROYOOo.... The specs and the initial benchmarks tell the CPU is faster and the GPU is lil bit faster than the Galaxy S. We will wait and see.
[Desire General] leroy:
have you used the phone yet or anything similar?

after my Touch HD i got the HD2 and it is HUGE, didnt feel right in my hand at all. sent it back and got a desire instead, so im not thinking i will like the desire HD
[Desire General] jimmy-fix-it:
Agreed, a step too far in terms of size
[Desire General] Chad_Petree:
i know , btw i didnt complain with about the desire z cou haha , but what bugs me is that ok the new cpu might consume less, but take advantage of that an include the same battery as before to get BETTER battery life instead of trying to maintain the same crappy battery life :mad:
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
Yes, you didn't complain about the CPU. What I was trying to say is that you're complaining about a piece of hardware based on specs, just like how others were complaining about the 800mhz CPU previously.

My point is to just wait for the reviews. It could be that the battery life will last you a day and a half with heavy use. If that's the case, then there's no point in HTC slapping on a larger battery.
[Desire General] crash_194:
My opinion is battery life is the next big hurdle to overcome in terms of smartphones and I have to say I agree with the comments made along the lines of, where the battery is concerned, bigger is better.

It would be nice to go away for a few days without having to add to clean socks, skids and toilet bag, a mobile phone charger lol
[Desire General] dgattenb:
unplug your pc and see how long that lasts?

These smart phones are mini computers ... and as such it's not suprising that you have to plug it in all the time ...

Look at the ATOM CPU... smaller CPU was ment for netbooks...

We have an evan smaller CPU .. ment for our " phones"
[Desire General] chongbh:
I agree with the comments and being an ex-user of HD2 which uses the same battery, the battery life really sucks as it will only last half a day when you have a lot of calls or sms.

What's the point of having a good specs smartphone but the battery cannot even last with such lithium ion, 1230mah battery since the size of the phone is so big?

In terms of sound and camera quality, HTC is still not good at these area no doubt they are in the smart phone market for many years than other manufacturers but their technology is still not as good.

Even if the firmware support is good but there is a limit with the hardware they have.

Just my sharing.
[Desire General] dahmmy:
HD

I'm a desire owner, personally I think the HD is just too big,hence for a second phone, I have the x10 mini pro,perfect for making all my calls and texts , whilst I use my desire for all surfing needs.....

Desire white does look soooo sexy though!
[Desire General] cubano07x:
I completely agree with you. Keeping the same battery + Better efficiency = Incredible battery life. I don't see why they would want to make it the same or "around" the same as the other handsets ??
[Desire General] fimae:
What i care about battery, most stupidest and annoying design flaw is PUT ONLY 512mb rom to phone. Only ~40mb is left for all applications, mail cache, facebook & twitter & so on work memory (most of rom is used for android&sense&so on basic phone installation that you cannot modify without root). When free memory drops to 16mb, low memory warning is displayed and after that you cannot install any application, get updates and gmail sync is not working. so between 40mb and 16mb is 24mb cap available to use. Way too little!
[Desire General] cubano07x:
Yea unfortunately, I find that to take advantage of android to its absolute fullest, you have to root.
[Desire General] ZekeWolf:
@chong

I have to counter your experience of the hd2 batt time. I easely cram over 15 hours from my hd2 - even if I run android.

I agree though that the 'out of the box' batt time is to low on most smartphones - but then again, most people doesn't seem to bother - iphone for example is terrible on batt time.
[Desire General] spritable:
I was expecting a lot more improvements from Desire HD versus the Desire.

Like:

- Higher resolution of the screen. It's 4.3 but the same resolution as the Desire, so you will end up with bigger pixels.

- Front facing camera. Facetime like experience is kinda girlie thingy, but actually ended up wanting this for example when you are on a long trip and you want to see your family.

- A faster processor - why not 1.2GHz?

- A kick stand, like the HTC Evo. Ended up wanting one of those while trying to watch some episodes of Friends on the plane. I had to hold the phone all the time - kinda frustrating.

At the end since it does not have higher specs compared to the Desire and since I swap my HD2, first because of Android, second because of the huge brick that I had to carry around, so I'm sticking with the Desire 1st gen.
[Desire General] htc fan89:
why does everything has to be 4.3 inchs, I would love to see a better screen then an iphone 4G, and a tegra 2 Chip be awesome.
[Desire General] RevoWution:
Think I'll lay off the Desire HD and Desire Z for now. There's not much noticeable improvement from our Desires. I'll wait for HTC's next big announcement :)

Use this metode:

1. Download the firmware you want

2. Use SEUS or PC COMP to update your phone

3. Go to Program filles /sony ericsson and replace those 2files with the one that u download at step 1... dont forget to rename the filles

4. Now run again SEUS or PC C... it will say taht u are up to date so u need to give repair

Job done
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hramos20:
Use this method by Grospolina. I did it yesterday and took me like 5 minutes. Just apply step 1 if you just want to debrand and the rest for root and market access. I think its the easiest.

These are the steps I did:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7490733#post7490733

1)Download for your model X10a or X10i

2)Run RootX10a_v2.cmd

3)Select option 1 (A message appears, don't click just yet)

4)Connect your phone in flash mode (turn off, wait 30secs, press back while connecting the usb cable)

5)When the green led light appears on your phone quickly hit a key and the process starts

6)Let it finish and Bingo!! You got Generic LAM R2BA026

If you want to root and market access select the other options. (I used the Stand alone root on another post and installed market access)

I tried this today works perfect! fixed my brother's X10 it was bricked with explanation mark!

just to add he needs to write his device ID in Device ID.txt before running Root10a_v2cmd
[Fascinate General] astraelraen:
I have found that using the stock email app doesn't allow you to "open" or attach PDF files to emails.

I have three email accounts connected to the stock email app, Exchange, Gmail and Hotmail.

1) If I send an Excel or Word document to any of these accounts I get the option to "save" or "open" the attachment. However, if I send a PDF document to any of these accounts the only option is to the "save" the file. Then I have to go find it using a file manager before I can open it. I have tried Adobe PDF viewer & Thinkfree that comes on the device and neither will allow me to open PDFs in the email app.

2) The stock email application will not allow me to attach any files other than pictures. When I click attach it brings up the file manager (it appears to be the stock "my files" application) which allows me to view the SD card and won't show any other file types other than picture types. I have multiple PDFs on the SD card in various folders and NONE of them show up as being able to be attached to the email.

The weird part is that if I use the "Gmail" email application (the one that only allows gmail accounts) I can open PDFs straight from the Gmail application without saving first. I can also attach any file type using this application.

Does the stock email application suck this bad? My two co-workers with Dincs have no problem doing either of the above things.
[Fascinate General] astraelraen:
I tried Touchdown, Maildroid & K9. They all attach all file types & open files directly from the email.

Does anyone elses mail app exhibit the same behavior as mine? Or did mine get messed up somehow.
[Fascinate General] astraelraen:
The issue actually appears to be related to what program the email app will allow you to use to find attachments.

The stock mail program appears to use My Files, but it only allows you to see picture files. The Gmail program will only use "Gallery" to find attach files if you don't have a file explorer installed.

I have Astro installed and if you use the Gmail program and try to attach something it will ask you if you want to use Astro or the Gallery. I then went and uninstalled Astro and went back to attach a file through the Gmail App and it only allowed me to use the Gallery app to look for attachments.

So the problem actually DOES exist in the Gmail app, but the Gmail app will let you use other file explorers to look for attachments.

I just cant see how that got past whatever process they use in developing their app.... How can you design a mail app that doesn't allow you to attach anything but picture files.... I mean thats just ridiculous.

I would not recommend the Fascinate to be honest just because of this issue. Sure it can be worked around using other email apps and downloading file explorers. Its not that big of a deal if you only use Gmail, but if you heavily use exchange and have to rely on the mail app or a 3rd party mail app it sucks.
[Fascinate General] chronster:
I ran into this just last night actually when I tried to open a pdf from an email.
[Fascinate General] astraelraen:
So I emailed samsung to ask if this was intentional or not. They didn't give me a real good answer but here is what they said.

"Thank you for your inquiry. With the SCH-I500 mobile phone, you can only attach picture file types. If you would like to attach other files such as PDF files, you need to download an application through the android market for PDF application."

To me, that sounds like this was intentional and the stock mail app will never have the ability to attach anything other than pictures.
[Fascinate General] Zennmaster:
Out of curiosity, with all the great email apps that you mentioned having tried, why not just use one that does what you need it to do? That's one of the great things about Android: the stock apps are just there to get you started!

[Epic 4G General] badasscat:
The pessimists were wrong :)

Weird wording, though... "may" improve upload speeds? "Hey guys, try this out, see how it works. May fix it, may not, who knows?"
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
Extend my 30 day trial and I'm willing to wait and try this fix that "may" work. Otherwise, it's too one-sided a gamble.
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
I'm confident that the fix will remove the cap. I would assume that the word "may" is used because people live in markets where upload speeds are slow regardless of the cap. So, wile the upload issue would technically fixed, for those people, uploads wouldn't improve regardless. Let's have a little faith, shall we? We've done our part to make noise and get the gadget blogs to take notice... hopefully the fix will do the rest.

In short, I think that too many are reading too far into the meaning of the word "may."
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
I don't begrudge Sprint that wiggle room, so long as they extend the trial period so the customers can confirm that the fix works. Or perhaps amend the contract to say that we "may" pay the bills. :)

As it stands, Sprint seems to expect us, the customers, to commit to a contract on the optimistic speculation that the fix will materialize and solve the problem.

The 30-day deadline is Sprint's deadline, not mine. They have the discretion to extend it for this special case in return for asking me as a customer to trust them and wait for the fix.

Just seeking a fair two-way relationship.
