I'm still actually on 020....and I've been yelled at before so slate if u must Lol. Besides I asked this question in another 2.1 thread and it was never answered.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Just look at the main 2.1 thread, its been answered many times

And yes, I've done the same thing as you, and I expect we will get the 2.1 update without waiting for Rogers.
[XPERIA X10 General] Mac_33:
I'm in the same situation here. What firmware did you use to debrand? To check when the locked screen is up press menu > back > back > menu > back > menu > menu > back and go to "service info" -> "model info". Mine shows Argentina and I have an X10a as well. Maybe I'll need to reflash it with another firmware.

Is anyone else with an X10a stuck on the same 20? For those of you who have 26, which firmware did you debrand the phone with?
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Why don't we all just wait for someone to get 2.1, then we can decide what to do.

I'm sure there are 100s of Rogers users in this forum, me included

[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
It was debranded when I got it...but yeah I'm Argentina as well as a few others...hopefully we don't have to wait for rogers tho...if get it first or before many of you just show me how to share it.

Hi Everyone,

I really want to be able to use my EVO to video chat with friends on Skype at thier PC. From all the research I have done this isn't possible anymore since Fring pulled their Skype capabilities. I read that Verizon offers a Skype app, can this be ported over to EVO on Sprint?

I just installed the Virtuous ROM and am using TB to get my apps back.

I was just curious, as I don't want a bunch of random system stuff I never used to get re-installed, what is the 'system data' referring too? Obviously user apps are pandora etc, but what is the data? Should I restore this as well?

thanks for the clarification!

How to restore your backups after installing a ROM (if you wiped your phone)

I often wonder the same thing, and come back to this each time. Opinions differ, on what all to restore.... that said, you may need some of that 'system data' at some point , so .....I go with what the maker says - look in this section: How to restore your backups after installing a ROM (if you wiped your phone)

http://www.matrixrewriter.com/android/index.html

While not a direct answer to your question, hth!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhillyCheez:
I only back up certain apps + system data.

for example if you want all your profiles saved in SetCPU when flashing to the next ROM you run the "Backup all user apps + system data"... uncheck select all and select SetCPU

if you use NewsRoom and want to save all your feeds when flashing to the next ROM you run the "Backup all user apps + system data"... uncheck select all and select NewsRoom

Little mod to battstatt,to display battery info in spanish, has some minor glitches with the sizes except large one, and another one that happen when the battery is below 10% the message below that percent has the "_y_" in front, that's because how the numbers are written in spanish. dont know how to fix it without the source code or messing with the widget core.

Hope someone find this useful.

any advice are welcome!

[Android Themes] kmilof:
yea, sure, you need the program, apk manager, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695701

with this, you can extract the installed apk from your phone to your pc, then this pogram can decompile the apk, with this you get the main files for the widget to work, there is a folder called "res", and inside is another one called "values", there are two xml file in wich you can change the language,arrays.xml and strings.xml.

in that two files you can modify the languaje displayed, be careful when changing the names because of the dependencies with other setings in the widget.

then with apk manager, you can compile again the apk and install it in to your phone.

thats, all

hope helps you.

My HTC Hero CDMA Cellular South, the USB doesnt work what so ever. When I plug it in I get no message or sound of it connecting and it just starts charging. Its a stock ROM, on 2.1.... any help? I have tried rooting the device before but quit before doing any flashing of the ROM because of the lack of information of the tutorial I was following. Please guys I really want my usb back :(
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
So your phone charges when its plugged in? But you cannot connect it to your computer to mount the sdcard. You may want to try running the RUU in fastboot mode.
[Hero CDMA General] garretts228:
Could you tell me what exactly this does and how I can do it? RUU im pretty sure is the updater, am I updating the ROM again to maybe fix the problem?

[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
You might want to look through manage applications in settings or some where in settings and clear the default for what to do when you plug your phone in.

Do you have a wireless router. You could install adbwireless from the market and get stuff to and from your phone.

Have you tried it on a different computer

You might want to delete the drivers on the computer for your phone, reboot computer and then plug the phone back into the computer and let it load the drivers.

Hi

Can any one tell me which device is faster

HTC Desire Z or HTC Desire HD

and if want one of them which one you will take
​
[G2 and Desire Z General] Whoareyou:
Desire HD has 1 ghz and Desire Z/Vision have 800 mhz soooo figure it out on ur own

Sent from my HTC Espresso, that is apperantly a failing device using the XDA App
[G2 and Desire Z General] lukesky:
the desire hd is the fastest android phone now. the desire z might be faster than the current nexus and desire due to the newer design even though clock speed is slower.
[G2 and Desire Z General] shad0wfire:
the z is an underclocked hd

that should be all the info u need
[G2 and Desire Z General] icewall:
Well actually Desire HD is running with a MSM8255, and Z with a MSM7230. Both 45nm, so power usage should be considerably down from last gen, but I haven't seen any real benchmarks to compare the chips yet. We can probably assume HD will be faster in every regard; that's what it's supposed to be. :) (I'm still getting a Z! :))
[G2 and Desire Z General] dean234:
i wouldnt count on it being faster in every regard, different resolution remember, higher=more stress on graphics. they prob about the same if anything
[G2 and Desire Z General] MiTMaNeK:
My opinion : Desire Z is faster .. and do you know why?

So..

Desire HD using Qualcomm QSD8255 -> it is Snapdragon 1st generation

specifications:

Scorpion 1 GHz CPU

Integrated 3G mobile broadband connectivity

QSD8250 supports GSM, GPRS, EDGE and HSPA networks

QSD8650 supports CDMA2000 1X, 1xEV-DO Rel 0/A/B, GSM, GPRS, EDGE and HSPA networks

Low-power 65nm process technology

High-definition (720p) video recording and playback up to 30 frames per second

Multiple video codecs: (MPEG-4, H.264, H.263, VC-1, Sorenson Spark, VP6)

GPU - 3D graphics with up to 22M triangles/sec and 133M 3D pixels/sec

High-resolution up to WXGA (1280x720) display support

12-megapixel camera support

Built-in seventh-generation gps engine with Standalone-GPS and Assisted-GPS modes

Support for Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® connectivity

Multiple audio codecs: (AAC+, eAAC+, AMR, FR, EFR, HR, WB-AMR, G.729a, G.711, AAC stereo encode)

Support for mobile broadcast TV (MediaFLO™, DVB-H and ISDB-T)

Support for Android™, Brew® Mobile Platform and Windows® Phone

Bud Desire Z using Qualcomm MSM7230 -> Snapdragon 2nd generation

Specifications:

Scorpion 800 MHz CPU (can be safely overclocked to 1GHz = Recommanded Maximum )

Integrated 3G mobile broadband connectivity

MSM7230 support for HSPA+ networks - up to 14 Mbps downloads and 5.76 Mbps uploads

MSM7630 support for HSPA+ networks - up to 14.4 Mbps downloads and 15.761 Mbps uploads – as well as CDMA2000 1X, 1xEV-DO Rel A/B, GSM, GPRS and EDGE

Low-power 45nm process technology for higher integration and performance

High-definition (720p) video recording and playback up to 30 frames per second

Multiple video codecs: (MPEG-4, H.264, H.263, VC-1, DivX, DivX 3.11, Sorenson Spark, VP6)

High-performance GPU - up to 41M triangles/sec and 245M 3D pixels/sec and dedicated 3D/2D acceleration engines for Open GLES 2.0 and Open VG 1.1 acceleration

High-resolution XGA (1024x768) display support

12-megapixel camera support

Built-in eighth-generation gps engine with Standalone-GPS and Assisted-GPS modes

Support for Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® connectivity

Multiple audio codecs: (AAC+, eAAC+, AMR, FR, EFR, HR, WB-AMR, G.729a, G.711, AAC stereo encode)

Support for mobile broadcast TV (MediaFLO™, DVB-H and ISDB-T)

Support for Android™, Brew® Mobile Platform and Windows® Phone

So Desire Z have:

CPU on 800MHz .. but not problem go to 1GHz = Same as Desire HD

GPU 2 x better then Desire HD GPU = +1 to Desire Z

45nm technology - Desire HD have 65nm technology = +1 to Desire Z

So in SoC category is Desire Z better then Desire HD.

Regards, MiTMaN

PS: Repair me please when Im wrong.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mirko935:
You are wrong, MiTMaNeK; both MSM8255 and MSM7230 are 2nd gen chipsets. I can't post a link but look it up on qualcomm's site.

They're the same except for clock speed.
[G2 and Desire Z General] benko286:
Great summary, one m ore question:

Normal Desire has Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 1 GHz processor and Desire HD QSD8255 cpu, which means it is newer?

So maybe Desire HD has 45nm die shrink and better GPU like Desire Z?

Mine question is, does Desire Z has faster GPU than normal Desire(I am planing to move to Desire Z, I simply love it's keyboard) and does it uses less power than normal Desire(45nm vs 65nm ?)
[G2 and Desire Z General] mrvanx:
Having looked at the various spec sheets out there (including the list of devices using the MSM8255 and the MSM7230) it looks like the HD and Z both have a 2nd gen 45nm based CPU both with the same adreno 205 GPU. Its essentially a tie between the two I would summise since one device's pros outweigh the other's cons and vice versa.

Personnaly Im not bothered about having an 8MP camera since I would prefer a hardware qwerty keyboard, the two devices are both good however I prefer the Z.

The only difference, according to qualcomms website, is the additional 3D acceleration bits in the Z (highlighted in bold), which is encouraging :D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(processor)

http://www.qualcomm.com/products_services/chipsets/snapdragon.html
[G2 and Desire Z General] benko286:
Ok, and normal Desire has 65nm CPU and old GPU?

And about the camera, I don't need 8MP at all, pics are only bigger with more MP(and has more noise) I would prefer 5MP cam with less noise.
[G2 and Desire Z General] funfair:
I posted a reply on this yesterday evening, but I guess it went lost in the downtime. I made a nice quote with information, but now I'm too lazy to do it again.

You are making the mistake of thinking the DHD has a first generation snapdragon (the QSD8255, wich doesn't excist, actually it's the QSD8250). This is not true, it has the second generation Scorpion (MSM8255) as well as the Desire Z has. Only difference is speed it's running on.

So basically, the Desire HD is (on paper) faster then the Desire Z. The question ofcourse is how the extra 200 MHz wil turn out in extra performance.
[G2 and Desire Z General] CeasarRAPH100:
Found Quadrant scores on Desire HD and Desire Z on smartphonebenchmarks.com

Desire HD Quadrant score 1974

Desire Z(HTC G2/Desire Z) Quadrant score 1499
[G2 and Desire Z General] funfair:
and what does this number say?

I see the oc'd Desire gets around 1880 and a custom rom galaxy S gets 2250

but does that mean it's fast? :P
[G2 and Desire Z General] raydm:
I think I read about 8255 that it has more L2 cache than 7xxx series ... but any ways both are A8 Gen so I just wait for A9 tegra

.02
[G2 and Desire Z General] magicdroid:
That wikipedia link is not correct: it puts the Desire HD & Z in the 1st gen row.

This is the correct link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(processor) (dunno why it does that :confused:)

It does show that they both use the Adreno 205 GPU, which makes them nearly as fast (but not faster) as the Galaxy S GPU (Adreno 205 => expected 3x the speed of Adreno 200/N1/Desire).
[G2 and Desire Z General] taytuan:
Guys,

Actually i agree with mrvanx. A game running 3D needs acceleration engines for OpenGL. Here the Desire HD is not high performance GPU, but desire Z is

"High-performance GPU - up to 41M triangles/sec and 245M 3D pixels/sec and dedicated 3D/2D acceleration engines for Open GLES 2.0 and Open VG 1.1 acceleration"

Its pretty upset tho, prefer a touch screen 4.3" to play ps1 + android! sigh..
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stellios:
The Desire HD should be the quicker device, but the Desire Z is the sexier device, and is definatly the one im spending my hard earned on.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mafiatounes:
DHD will be faster than the "Z" because of 200mhz more + 256mb more for multitasking, The "Z" will be more off a battery efficient device, with a little bigger battery, smaller screen + slower processor. i'm waiting for the reviews on both devices to make a decision, can't make up my mind!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] lovelldr:
I think the thing that really decides for people, is the screen and the keyboard... If you want a bigger screen, then you go for the desire hd. If you want the keyboard, then the desire z... If you want both, then tough luck... hehe. But, I personally am going for the z, because I need the keyboard... And, after being used to the touch pro 2, I think that I will be pleased with the z anyway :p hehe
[G2 and Desire Z General] Prerna:
ME likes the Z because of its keyboard. Will miss the great camera and screen size, but keyboard is a must as I never managed to learn writing quickly + efficiently on touchscreens.

Now my HD2 still works well, and there's the possibility to soon see WMP7 running on it too, so I'll wait a bit and see if HTC releases a nice keaboard device with WMP7 soon, hopefully with a 8MP camera.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
did somebody said HTC 7 Pro ??

tempting... but not until 2011
[G2 and Desire Z General] lombardo8:
Touch Pro 7 looks good but I definitely want android. I dont know why they didnt use more of the phone to increase the screen real estate. 3.6' screen aint doing it for me.

I was going to get the Desire Z but I think I have changed my mind. I still want android but I am going to wait for an HTC android device with a 5 row keyboard and at least 3.7' screen.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Raspster:
Guys, lets not forget about the desire Z having 4GB of space to install apps and the Desire HD with only 1.5GB. That is HUGE for many people. That sold me on the Desire Z. The only advantage the HD has in the memory dept. is the 768 RAM vs. the 512 in the Z. Not really nessasary if you ask me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] CandyAndy:

Expansion slot:

[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
I think you are confusing the Desire Z with T-Mobile's G2. Are you sure you'll use more than 1.5 GB though, that's a lot of space ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] BlackBirdf:

Hmm, can I safely say that DHD and D-Z is Gingerbread ready?
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
They don't have a 1024x768 screen though, that's just referring to the chipset support to drive such a screen.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Triple3:
Steviewevie, thanks for your reply. Guess have to wait and see, i'll probably go with the D-Z rather than the DHD as i don't have long fingers for the big screen. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] LickTheEnvelope:
Bell's spec sheet for the Desire Z lists 1.5 GB which is the same as the G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Humz:
Obviously the D-Z has been clocked to approx 1.4ghz now so i'm just wondering if anyone has seen if the DHD can be clocked to.

I've had a search but it only brings up links for the D-Z i'm guessing as the HD is initially faster when it is OC'd it will be faster however from what I gather the D-Z was clocked down to 800mhz.

Thoughts?

Cheers
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
You will be waiting for a long time, as the source for the HD will take a while to be released, i think it was two months before the first desire source was released... HTC seem to release there source quicker for USA phones;/
