[Epic 4G General] TurboFool:
I received the OTA update, applied it, and now it's hung with about 5% left on Updating modem...

Anyone experience anything similar? Any tips? I'm nervous that if I pull the battery I'll brick it, but it's not doing me any good like this, either.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
This what you were looking for?

;)
[Epic 4G General] flyers2114:
I think you will be ok....worst case scenario is you may have to use Odin to get it back...
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
If your extensively on your cell phone for multiple hours & in business, I dont think the Epic has the battery power for you.

For everyone else, like me who text quite a lot it seems fine. Itll last me the entire day, with the right apps.
[Epic 4G General] dietrichmd:
turbo, several on the sprint forums are saying the same. looks like the bug fix is nothing but more bugs :(
[Epic 4G General] Geekybiker:
Big deal. So am I. I'm waiting to see how this update pans out before jumping on the epic though. Too many worrisome issues right now, and with Samsung's rep for leaving people hanging, I'm not eager to give them the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully we'll have answers in a few hours though. Well at least for some of it.
[Epic 4G General] meinken:
could you put up a link to those forums? I would like to follow the problems before I get the opp. to install. I've been checking android forums, ppc, sprint user and this one, and Turbo's is the first reference I've seen to a problem.

Update installed fine for me. The upload speed seems to be fixed as well.
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
Ok, now where do we get the fix for the download speed? (running and ducking) :D
[Epic 4G General] jfharden:
Any chance that you can post the upload.zip?

(from meinken) I'm too new for them to allow to include a url, even when quoting

Sorry, I must have misunderstood. Looks like no one in that thread had gotten the update until message 26 of 28 and 27 and 28 are thanking him for positive feedback. What other bugs has the update created? Just nervous about mucking up a phone that I am mostly satisfied with.
[Epic 4G General] dietrichmd:
ah, that was more of a joke :) but seriously, it may very well have :)
[Epic 4G General] jfharden:
Doh!!! Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] flyers2114:
Where are the several reporting the same problem as Turbo?????? I seen one person...lol....unless I am missing something....
[Epic 4G General] narn17:
Not true, there are good smartphones out that don't have issue out of the box. I had Google Nexus and it had no problem with its hardware. Epic just seems to have quality issues that plague cheap phones however this phone is not cheap and shouldn't be treated like one.
[Epic 4G General] scriz:
DI18 released, check the Development forum for the download.
[Epic 4G General] Dameon87:
I think this update may have very well fixed a problem with the radio trying to find signal on Sprint towers vs roaming. I usually have to use roam control at home, but after a FULL stock restore, and installing this update; It just stays on roaming.

Too early to tell all what is fixed/if battery life is better. But hopefully it helps. I'll check 3G upload when I get in town later.
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
Thanks to the wonderful people here at xda I can finally upload at normal 3g speeds! Woohoo!!!

AND it doesn't studder while uploading either......

Ahhhhhhhhhhh it feels so nice to have something that the phone should have had since day 1
[Epic 4G General] Firon:
For those missing stock files or otherwise can't apply the update, check this post out. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8410366&postcount=45

I've made a new update.zip that will flash without having to restore a bunch of files by hand.

Probably won't work on deodexed ROMs though.
[Epic 4G General] tommi_han:
oh yeah...

Firon you are the man!!!! I tried to push all sprint apps and odex file but phone kept freezing on me. Thank you for posting the zip file that's sign for the DI18!!! made my day
[Epic 4G General] Firon:
I posted a new version of the update that will work for a few more people + remove the MobileAP i9000 modifications completely (so your system isn't left in a mixed state).
[Epic 4G General] laramiebates:
Edit nevermind read it wrong
[Epic 4G General] breakwater:
How do you get such great battery life? I unplug at 7 am and by 1 I am at ~20%. This is after drm and I hardly spend 40 min doing anything on the phone? Any help is appreciated. Mine is a stock version.
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
See - this is why I can't give this to my dad. He'd be losing money because of this "top of the line smartphone"
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
then give him a lotus elite
[Epic 4G General] Firon:
My parents both have this phone and after a few minor tweaks, their battery life is just fine. I can get about 40 hours on a single charge with moderate usage + background data (twitter, google talk, google voice).

That's damn sure better than any other smartphone I've used. :P
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
Well then I need to send my phone to you! Samsung and sprint should have you on their team!!! :)
[Epic 4G General] houkah:
j3ff man you MUST have a bum battery or something. I've seen you talk about battery life in thread after thread and all i can come up with at this point is that you have a defective battery. Have you tried taking it to a sprint store to have it tested? Today i used my phone a moderate amount, a few phone calls, many text messages, some web surfing, and pandora for about an hour. It lasted 15 hours and still had close to 40% battery left. If i was you i'd at least try to get them to replace the battery.
[Epic 4G General] crazaytalent:
I think he has a "bum" device... I see him complaining on every thread about everything...lol... i have no idea why he hasnt gone a swaped out the damn thing yet...

back on topic i get great battery life also 24-32 hrs on mild ussage,

about 8-12 w/ heavy usuage and floating inbetween on average... i cant wait for this update to get pushed back out and see the advancement on my batt... also once 2.2 is released this thin is gonna be a beast!
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
when i use it it is heavy and today after tweaks and updates it went 10 hrs till 15% before it was like 5
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
Last night I did actually take it to the store to have them "check out the battery" - the store rep informed me that "8 to 10 hours of normal use is just about what the phone gets"

I then was straight forward and asked for a new battery. She denied me.
[Epic 4G General] nmoreman:
jffman,

Same thing happend to me, store where I bought it said the phone was too expensive just to take back with "battery issue" within 30 days. I responded that it was too expensive for me to buy and not work. Corporate policy, blah, blah, I left loud and angry. Will not go back there unless I have problem with rebate.

Went to Service Center, asked for and got a new battery and was told if its not right, they will take it back, no problem.

So try another store, see what happens.

Today I'm leaving everything running just to see what happens. Tomorrow I'm shutting down DRM, MediaHub and Mobile Hotspot (don't use any) and see what happens. If not happy, will go back there and swap.

That gives me one week to test another phone. If it stays the same, I will return, not going to pay $490 for phone and no 4g service to manage my phone daily. Will wait for something else.
[Epic 4G General] J3ff:
let me know how it goes with the new battery. I have till somewhere around the 8th or 9th to return. Glad you realize my main point about the fact that no matter what the bugs are. A flagship phone (or ANYphone) should not require daily management and hours of R&D to get it to last all day and do what it is advertised to do.
[Desire General] crazy4ker:
A lot of people on this forum are following the "Orange UK Froyo 2.2 upgrade date released" thread, which has turned into a bit of a guide to debranding/slagging off Orange thread.

Anyway, the

ONLY

point of this thread is for people to subscribe to the thread (use the "Thread tool">>"Subscribe to this thread" at the top of the page) so that when Orange finally release the 1.15.61.10 to 1.22.61.1 update, people can reply to this thread. That way as soon as someone replies (that the update is available) everyone that is not clever enough to write a script can get an email notification that the update is available.

So, please only post a comment here if you get the update (not the 2.2 update).
[Desire General] IrfanSEAT:
good idea

still a waiting game thou :(
[Desire General] roscoe141:
Also still waiting..

Got my brown Desire with 1.15 software in February. Still have 1.15. I'm on a 24 month plan so can't afford to void the warranty.

Pretty poor service form Orange that although one of the first to recieve the phone, it looks like I'll be one of the last to be able to use my device to it's full potential with Froyo.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
That is an old and redundant thread, and nothing to do with this one...
[Desire General] Yogimax:
I have had my phone about 3 months so must have been one of the last ones with 1.15...

I agree with all the above - the service from Orange regarding this upgrade has been diabolical - this is an incremental upgrade which was pushed out on other networks months ago. If it wasn't for the stupid and unnecessary Orange applications and game demos, it would have been a simple and easy OTA upgrade which would have left us ready for 2.2
[Desire General] EddyOS:
They don't even NEED this pre-requisite, Vodafone released 2 versions of the 2.2 OTA - one for those on 1.19.161.x and one for those on 1.24.161.x so anyone could update.

Orange have really messed up here
[Desire General] swatmark:
On Friday 1st October 2010, @OrangeHelpers said:

reply

We have an update from HTC regarding 1.22 and Froyo.

'Sorry for the late response.

We will finish the FOTA testing by the end of today.

If everything is smooth, End user will get the update ROM from “1.15.61.10” to ”1.22.61.1” start from midnight.

I will keep you posted for the final testing result.

Sorry for the inconvenience.'
[Desire General] machmandp:
i just checked manually and i have been offered the upgrade

downloading now
[Desire General] swatmark:
Just checked and I've been able to download and its installing now
[Desire General] ste1164:
Is there anyway to install this on a rooted phone? As I keep on getting an error when trying to install :/
[Desire General] church473:
Just downloaded the update. will check to see if the 2.2 update is sent after this has installed. looks like orange werent being truthful when they said not everyone can get the update at the same time!
[Desire General] dpk:
Downloading now! Woohoooo
[Desire General] EddyOS:
No, you need stock
[Desire General] ste1164:
So I can't actually ever unroot this phone/get the update unless the Orange RUU is leaked or debrand and get the other FroYo update. Is there no way to fake flash stock recovery?
[Desire General] church473:
Downloading 2.2 now...manual check after installing 1.22
[Desire General] ste1164:
Oo I have just got 1.22.61.1 installed :D

EDIT: Even better the phone is now unrooted :D:D
[Desire General] mercianary:
Nice one. How come it went wrong before? Did you do something different?
[Desire General] ste1164:
Yea I chose install but i got a not verified error. I then went into the install from SD and turned verification off. I then went back into the main menu and pressed apply update.zip and it finally worked. I checked recovery after and it was back to stock :)
[Desire General] roscoe141:
just been offered the upgrade too!! Thank goodness...
[Desire General] roscoe141:
Installing,, half way there!!
[Desire General] crash_194:
installed for me and the froyo update is ready straight away! going to wait until I am home to do it though and use my wifi :-)
[Desire General] roscoe141:
Restoring your data and setting from the backup... is taking a while. Looks like I'll need to do this twice..
[Desire General] dpk:
Yeah, it took a while for me too, but it does work eventually lol

UPDATE: Now onto Froyo download :D 88% :D
[Desire General] ste1164:
Yay froyo has much improvments over 2.1 at the moment. Erm I still have the superuser app am I still rooted or is the app just still there?
[Desire General] roscoe141:
Still restoring after the first update.... Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez
[Desire General] roscoe141:
it finally came through. Teaches me for having too many undeleted texts...
[Desire General] destruxon:
Just done update to 1.22.51.1 and all ok ill do the big one to 2.2 shortly as I'm out of range from WiFi at mo and ill confirm ok :)
[Desire General] oursoul:
Its so funny for me when I think back to when I got my Desire about a month after their release and about a day after Orange first got them. I charged it, toyed with it for 5 mins then searched the net and debranded it within the next 30 mins without even blinking.

Orange are not firmware developers, HTC are. **** Orange.
[Desire General] ste1164:
Loads of people have but some people want to keep it on Orange firmware because they don't mind the app or for warranty purposes.
[Desire General] crazy4ker:
Yeap, got the (2) updates too last night. I've also got some process.android.acore error messages but I'll work out why sooner or later.

I love the fact that I can record video in H.264 rather than H.263. Soooo much better quality (well more that I can record in WVGA now).
[Desire General] stats101:
Mine has been stuck on the restore screen for over 2 hours :S Any suggestions??? :(
[Desire General] ste1164:
Maybe a battery pull?
[Desire General] cass316:
updating help

Downloaded the update.

But when it restarts to apply I get a big red question mark.

It then just boots as normal with the old software still installed

Any suggestions?

Thanks

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Panarchy:
Hello

I'm interested in being able to code (with syntax-highlighting) multiple C++ files on my Windows Mobile based HTC Touch Pro2.

Could you please recommend programs with this capability, preferably free?

Thanks in advance,

Panarchy

FYI: CKE has syntax-highlighting, multiple-files open capability and a compile function, however the compile function doesn't work [needs CMD.exe?] and the interface isn't correct [cuts off half of each line... I've tried toggling Text-Wrap to no avail]
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
I highly doubt you will find this...To develop AND compile on the device the project is intended for, besides on computers, is a highly unlikely find, let alone for free. Creating a complier for a mobile environment is not an easy feat, and that is to say that I don't know much about making compilers ... so finding that for free is going to be a toughy.

But hey, if someone does know of one, and I am just totally confused, then by all means, please post it because I would love to see this :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:
suggestion. Use DosBOX and load Borland C++
[General Questions and Answers] Litderose:
Hello all,

I have a little question for which I found no response in XDA (and i have searched before posting).

Is it possible to change the color of the font in the pinpad (not the dialer, the pinpad to enter your pincode).

See that pic :

The aim is to do a totally white pinpad but if the font color is white... :D

How can I change the font color ?

Registry ?

[Vibrant General] 1quickturbosix:
Hello everyone, looking forward to getting my Vibrant in the mail today. Currently using the HTC HD2 running android, but the bugs were starting to bother me, so I needed a designated android device. Coulple questions though, what is Kies? Is it possible to disable or do away with touchwiz?
[Vibrant General] fcbarca17:
Kies is the Samsung update software. I recommend just staying away and flashing a Rom from here. It will be rooted and no need to deal with Kies. Also, the only way right now to "disable" touchwiz is to download an alternate home app (launcher pro, ect ). There is no way to disable touchwiz apps like music or messaging without flashing a new Rom. Eugenes hybrid and vibrant 9 Rom would be my recommendation. Or just wait for cm6.1 when. It arrives.

The vibrant is amazing.

Have fun with it =)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] goralpm:
Hi.

Can anybody told me how to change screen on xda exec?

My screen is broken but I have other XDA with good screen how to change?

Or my be better just change main board?

What is faster and better - changing just screen or main board?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] -Jonny-:
Changing the screen is a lot easier. You have to unplug just about everything to change the main board. To change the main screen, you can get away with just dismantling the screen part of the Uni - and with several screws and a couple of cable plugs that's it. See the Universl Service Manual for step by step information.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] goralpm:
thanks!

But I have no access to service manual (password).

If I will decade to change M/B it is relay hard and need special tools or just take time for few connector and screw?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] -Jonny-:
User: xda

Password: xda

Like I say changing motherboard is much harder as everything is plugged up to it! You don't need any special tools - except to get the case split open and the correct torx driver.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] goralpm:
Hi

Thanks for pass:))

I just exchange MB:) it was pretty easy.

Now, main question:

Anything working now OK, but what will be happen if I take backup to restore under new MB?

It is possible, to damage MB with software?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] -Jonny-:
No, you can't damage it with S/W. If you backup/restore should be fine.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] goralpm:
and just last question.

I search forum for upgrade ROM to my XDA, but more I search less I now;(

Can you give me link for step by step guide haw to update ROM?

thanks.

I have Boot loader ver. 1.00 Is G3 can I have to upgrade to G4?

(where I find boot loader for me?)

And last, haw can I check what is my version - 128 or 64 mb?

Thanks for any help!:)

I have maybe too many question, but I relay wont avoid brick my XDA:)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] goralpm:
OK

Finally I change ROM to Tomal WM6,1 v.8.9

I have problem on beginning, when PC told me it was error during flashing ROM, and process restoring original one was unsuccessful!

I just remove sim card and SD card and try again - with full success!

So I have now:

ROM version: D.08.90 TML WWE

ROM date: 07/18/08

Radio version: 1.04.02

Protocol version: 42.37.P8

Thanks for any help!:))

How can I change Radio version and Protocol for new?

first off all i would like to say thx to all devs and rom cookers out there in this forum. i like your hard work so much. Because i would give something back to the community , i am willing to spend 20-30 GB of Space and 1TB of traffic for hosting the builds on my own root server.

[Droid X General] mitchuscg:
Alright so there was the story about that dreaded efuse but I don't think its a piece of hardware. Im figurin its a program somewhere because if it was hardware then there'd be a thread on how to take it out. Im guessin the locked bootloader has something to do with it as well
[Droid X General] jonscapri:
It's hardware. It's not removable to my knowledge.
[Droid X General] mitchuscg:
I don't see how hardware could be the issue. A program has to start it and what im thinkin is if the program is deleted or changed in some way then bricking would be gone. The only thing is where is that file? Hopefully someone can find it
[Droid X General] MrDanger:
It could be firmware
[Droid X General] mitchuscg:
So it'd still be files. If you could access that file and change it then the possibility of a nand unlock is there and full custom roms
[Droid X General] vonfeldt7:
I don't think you understand how this works... It's not as easy as you would think, or someone would have already done it. There's a lot of talent out there working on the DX, and they're doing everything they can.

It is hardware, for sure, and it's (again) not as easy as popping it out. I think it's actually a part of the processor...
[Droid X General] mitchuscg:
I get what you're saying. But in order for that piece of hardware to work the program has to enable it. And as soon as someone can unlock the os files that little part can be altered. Of course no one knows how moto has done it so its all just ideas
[Droid X General] jonscapri:
From what I know is like flashed BIOS. The only downside is that there's no know way to access it. It could even be a little old school and burned like an eprom chip.

After reboot you won't have root in adb shell. There are two ways to get root again in adb shell.

1. Type su in the adb shell and press the allow button on the superuser popup on your phone.

2. Install Koush's bootstrap and then bootstrap your phone; then you will always have a constant adb root shell.
