anyone at all? please if you know just point me in the right direction
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daijizai:
I don't think that is possible cheif, but you could keep the old account as an 'App Drawer' of sorts. shut off gmail / contact sync / etc in Settings > Account Settings > Your Account. Then just leave it be.

The market will download the programs, but the green download bar will be full, but it always hangs.

I have to cancel the download about 8 times, before it will finally install.

Anyone know whats causing this? It happens on all apps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liamaa:
Does the download just hang or does it give you an error like "installation unsuccessful"?

If it's the latter then try unmounting the SD card and then installing/updating.

Also, you might want to try clearing the market app's cache in the app manager.

Also, sometimes I'll download an app and then go do something else while it downloads (like check gmail) and then when I go back to the market it'll look like it's frozen as a partial download but actually installs anyway.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cy_n_ic:
I have had the same problem, i think its on the market side so u might try being patient and give it a shot later, worked for me

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Max_Pain:
i get a similar problem. market will show me there are updates for my apps, but most of them will end up with "installation unsuccessful"...if i'm correct ALL of those have been moved to the SD card using app2sd...does that have something to do with it?

its getting very frustrating to not be able to update my programs without having to move them from sd to phone, update, then move back to sd...:confused:

I'm using Fresh 3.3 and I'm having similar problems.....but sometimes it works fine.

Via EVO on XDA app...
[Desire General] kazgor:
ok... not sure if this should go here or further up the XDA Tree.

I like this place but as someone that hasn't rooted and dont really plan to just yet.. the current forum structure is hard to see if an app/theme etc require ROOT or not.

Also the DEV forum is exception hard to follow.. especially with the long subject lines.

It would be nice in the DEV forum to be split into MODS, ROMS, RADIO, UTILS etc, maybe even a RELEASE only MODs, so seperate

the beta mods from the Final mods.

APPS/THEME forum could have a ROOT sub forum with any app/theme/whatever that will only work if you have ROOT.

you do see quite a few posts with someone asking "if Root is required" atleast this way we would know.

only a suggestion and i guess most on XDA are more likely to ROOT than say other Desire forums.
[Desire General] pulser_g2:
This has been raised before, and xda likes to keep all devices to the standard layout. As such, subforums don't happen, as a rule.

The reason is that it takes too many clicks to find anything. If I come over to desire forum to check for posts wrongly made in development, it's 2 clicks (or 1 if you go direct to dev from homepage). To then be faced with further categories and choices would be confusing for many.

Tbh, if you are on xda, it is usually presumed (at least in my experience) that you are rooted and familiar with flashing a ROM. Guides are available to get you to this stage.

But there's not much here not requiring root to be honest. Anything you flash needs a custom recovery flashed, and therefore root to do so.

Apps or themes in zip format to be flashed need root, and anything delving into the system or hardware needs root, as does anything trying to write to /system.

So yes, it has been raised, but no it's not something likely to happen. Get stuck in, look at rooting if custom ROMs appeal etc, and then it won't matter if something requires root or not ;)
[Desire General] pulser_g2:
Oh, regarding these other suggestions about radios etc, that is the purpose of the wiki.

Perhaps a sticky wiki list could be set up for such things?
[Desire General] kazgor:
ta for the reply.. and yes i do agree, if you are here you more likely to be ROOTed or about to be :)

there some nice MODs but far to many mix in with betas/RC etc so it can get quite overwhelming to even picking 1.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] busterbrown77:
Try to put it in airplane mode, then disable it. that usually works. I only had that issue with the Desire HD rom when i was on .03. It was fixed. If it still wont work, try a *228 option 1, if that fails, try a reflash or another kernel.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oldtymehockey:
Noted. Downloaded. Not installing just yet. I have to add that my battery life currently stinks.

I've had this issue on any rom I have run that was 2.2 based. Including: skyraider sense and vanilla, incdoes desirehd+miui, and ruby.

Pretty sure its a 2.2 thing that nobody has cared to fix since it's more of a nuisance cuz it's fixed with a switch to airplane mode then back.

Would be cool if it was looked into and actually fixed... Although I'd have no clue how...

I checked with a gal in the office and her evo is getting **** speeds as well.

Anyone else in so cal having issues?

[EVO 4G General] johnnycross22:
if the girl at your office was also having problems thats a good sign that its not just your phone. The same thing started happening to me a few nights ago right after I flashed a new rom and was trying to use wifi tether. I was getting 8-10kB down/up, I thought I broke something while flashing the new rom and was freaking out trying everything to fix it. Then I decided to activate my Palm Pre and was getting the same speeds as the EVO. By noon the next day I was back in action. Most likely just a temporary sprint network problem.
[EVO 4G General] Philosuffer:
lol, I'm getting speeds not much better than those also, im in east OC right now.

80KB/s down, 37KB/s up

for some reason speedtest.net app thinks I'm in Kansas though...:rolleyes:

Hi Guys,

Please help, i am having problem with the robot voice like most people here.

I don't know where i'm going wrong... i've read the forum and have tried what ppl have said, but i still can't fix my problem.

I have HardSPL'd my phone.

Have installed the custom ROM. (Tried Chucky ROM & currently on the Energy ROM)

Have tried all the radio's i believe.

Can someone plz tell me where im going wrong.

And also another Q. After loading the Radio, do i have to install the Custome ROM again? or installing the custome ROM is a one off thing??

Hope someone can help me.

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jbjuice10:
Radio change

Have you tried radio 2.12 or 2.14? I stopped having the robot voice even with a 2.08 radio.

I can't post the link, but just do a search for HD2 2.14 and it should come up!

As for your second question: No, you do not need to flash the ROM again!

Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irkan:
Greetings

its really a weird problem, was wondering if anyone have this issue ???

I have HTC Desire, stock 2.2

when i connect my phone to PC i dont get "Mount SD Card" option in the Notification area!

the only soultion i found is to install an app from the market called "Auto Mount" so it forces the SD Card to mount when connecting to the PC.

I have the debugging mode enabled, dont think that is the problem.

I have set "Ask me about connection type whenever i connect my phone to PC" but it does not ask me at all (regardless, i have set the default connection type as Disk Drive). still no luck.

any input would be appreciated

cheers

Which Firmware do I need to use to debrand my phone considering the info below? I've read like 10 threads here about debranding but everything got me confused and I'm desperate to debrand because my carrier has configured everything needed for Internet and MMS and they cannot get my cel to work. Could someone post a link to the download and point me into one thread that I can use to debrand it?

Model Info

Model: X10i

Country: France

Brand: Customized FR

Software Info

Phone SW Version: 1227-4612_R2BA026 GENERIC

Firmware: 1.6

Baseband: 1.1.31

Kernel: 2.6.29-rel

I am currently using the phone in Honduras, Central America with carrier TIGO.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] vengeance1990:

Easy to do, works first time as well

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ucaboys:
Your firmware is fine.

The problem is that in the American region we use the X10a (Tigo uses the 850 frequency for its 3G Data), your phone wont be able to use 3G in America because the X10i doesn't support the 850 frequency for 3G data, you will still be able to use EDGE over GSM with your phone since it is a QUAD BAND GSM phone - try setting your phone to only use GSM (Is is under Settings > Wireless)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hramos20:
Hi already tried using only GSM. Do you think I should debrand to X10a?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ucaboys:
If you still think that you need to debrand, use the LATAM firmware from CLARO GT. That should make your phone behave more or less like a X10a. I debranded mine from CLARO GT to the Generic NA or Generic LATAM and both work fine here in El Salvador. YOu can eve use ROGERs form the post about debranding, use FLASHTOOL.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hramos20:
Hey thanks for the tip!! I got it working now! I flashed my X10i to X10a so it matches the TIGO frequency using this method by Grospolina (just applied step 1)

After this my model is now X10a Generic LAM(b) Customized. So I just applied the APN's again and it started working with Edge.

For rooting it I used the Standalone X10 root.apk v. 1.06 http://xdaforums.com/atta...2&d=1281606816 and installed Market Access.

Received the phone just a bit ago and what a device. Feels rock solid, slider mechanism is absolutely amazing, and the weight just adds to the quality feel. Here are some photos to enjoy.

Edit: feel free to ask of any request photos and I will try fulfill such requests, Cheers :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] bfletcher6147:
What is the AC adapter like? Is it separate from the USB cable? I like how Samsung did the Vibrant (which is like apple). USB plugs straight into the AC adapter. One less cord to carry around.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KnightMAREcrow:
Yes the AC adapter and usb cord are separate like the cord that comes with the iPhone, USB plugs into adapter
[G2 and Desire Z General] veritas17:
Id have to agree, the phone feels solid as hell. Pics incoming@

Can you confirm if the KB comes loose if you hold the phone upside down?
[G2 and Desire Z General] tubaking182:
When phone is held upside down, my screen does move out and up, needs to be spring loaded and stop that from happening
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
What kind of headphones did they send with it?

Do they go all the way in the ear or just rest outside the canal?
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperDave81:
I'm wicked jealous. Here's hoping cyanogen get's his early too so maybe by the time mine gets here (10/5), I'll be able to root it out of the box! LOL.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KnightMAREcrow:
@tubaking - The screen movement doesn't happen on mine, if I unstand you correctly. Held it upside down and at all angles to try and reproduce the effect. Rock solid on my end

@ericc - As usual the cheap ones are included. I have Klipsch S4, Dr. Dre Beats, and AIAIAI headphones so I never use headphones that come included with phones. Then again I sort of an audiophile
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
Yeah, I currently use some MEElec M6s.. sound good, but could use just a tad more bass. Thanks for the answer, though!

EDIT: Oh, is the speaker phone decent? Compared to the N1?
[G2 and Desire Z General] JRG1392:
Do you have the Beats with the inline mic? I've been thinking about buying some but I want to make sure that they will work with the g2 before I fork over the money.
[G2 and Desire Z General] la_resistance28:
Does the phone have any sort of hole/loop for hand straps and landyards? I know the G2 is heavy, but I'd still feel more secure being able to strap it to my wrist!
[G2 and Desire Z General] absinthenyc:
how much of that 4gb is free?

How much of that 4gb is free?

Are the google apps like Skymap and finance un-installable?
[G2 and Desire Z General] KnightMAREcrow:
@ericc - speaker phone is decent. I'd say it is on par if not just a bit better than the N1, seems to be clear except when on max volume as is the case with every phone.

@JRG - I don't have the inline mic on the Dr. Dre Beats, but I do have them on my AIAIAI headphones and they work perfectly. As long as the contact points on the mic input line up correctly with the 3.5 connection then there should be no problem.

@Resistance - I see no visible lanyard connection. Would've been nice to have.

@absinthenyc - about 1.26 GB free on first fresh startup with none of my apps installed. Almost all google apps are included, but I don't use all of them; would be nice to uninstall some.
[G2 and Desire Z General] veritas17:
Yes, mine actually does the swing open thing upside down. Not pleased.
[G2 and Desire Z General] solace.discord:
whoa! 1.26 *used* or 1.26 *free*?

I'm really hoping its the first option... and I'd be wondering how and why if it were the latter.
[G2 and Desire Z General] JRG1392:
I was actually hoping it's used (or not user accessible) cause that means there's more for the system which means longer lifetime for system updates (if they continue the tradition of getting larger each iteration) Right?

Somebody please set me straight if I'm wrong.
[G2 and Desire Z General] crr127:
like someone else said earlier i wonder if the other 3..... whatever gigs mounts if you connect to the computer??? where would all that space goooo if it wasn't used like that?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
I'll exchange mine for another if it has that issue.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KnightMAREcrow:
I can confirm that it is 1.26 GB FREE, meaning that about ~2.7 GB used for the system or space reserved for future updates (Gingerbread) that T-mobile might have been told about so they planned for extra space for that when having HTC create the phone :). Here's hoping
[G2 and Desire Z General] solace.discord:
I'd be concerned with 4GB shrunk down to 1.26GB before you even start putting on your own stuff, and wth is using up those ~2.74GB

I'm no expert, but i don't think the OS or system updates will get *that* large.

edit: ok.. the further explanation makes sense, but still.. that's a seemingly huge loss of space.. and I keep forgetting that 2.2 lets you save to and run from SD automatically, right? if so, then totally a non-issue.
[G2 and Desire Z General] smasraum:
How about pics of the thing running, maybe pics of the keyboard with the backlight on, that sort of thing.

Also my phone doesn't have the track button lighting up. It doesn't even look like it COULD light up let alone have the ability to do so. Grrrr expectations dropped on everything but the speed:(
[G2 and Desire Z General] veritas17:
You have no issues at all with the screen part of the phone feeling like its opening or opening when you have the thing opened to type on the keyboard and have it upside down?
[G2 and Desire Z General] KnightMAREcrow:
More pics, The keyboard is very well lit, just doesn't appear so in the picture.

I just tried the video recording and while it is recording the picture is jittery and choppy, not so great... For me though, I have never recorded any video from my phones, it is usually quality I can't stand, but it might be tolerable for others.

Also, Trackpad is very responsive, used to it already.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KnightMAREcrow:
Again on the issue (if I should call it that) with the screen moving. Whether it is opened or closed for me there is no movement. I would have noticed right away since I always give any new tech I buy a thorough investigation to make sure it is free of defects or blemishes.

Many of you are probably like me that when you buy a new product you expect it to be in pristine working order/condition.

@Veritas - I just sent myself a text to check on the breathing trackpad light and it is present, if ever so slightly. If you are like me coming from an N! then you were use to the colors being very vibrant on the trackball. It is not the same on the G2, but it is still there. Just flashes white
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
Okay so far we have a couple people reporting that the screen slides open on its own kind of when upside down.

We have 1? report of someone saying their trackpad ring doesn't seem to light up.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Zaim2:
What kinds of things can you set to the 3 Quick keys? I thought it was just shortcuts/applications but I read a comment somewhere which said it could do macros. Can you test it out and describe and/or take pics of what the options are like? Thanks in advance.

Someone make a video!
[G2 and Desire Z General] makoute:
So does it have fm stereo?
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheManCityLife:
Does the phone go into landscape mode w/o having to flip the screen up?

Is there anything that you think it's lacking that you were expecting to be there?
[G2 and Desire Z General] KnightMAREcrow:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSxYxUOf4tY

Short video uploaded, have at it.

@makoute - I find no FM radio, bummer

@TheManCityLife - It does not switch to landscape on the homescreen without flipping the keyboard out. As far as any short comings, it seems to me that texts and Gvoice texts come in a bit later then i expected compared to the N1, but I can't say that I'm disappointed in any facet of the phone. It seems like a real contender for a top smart phone.

Edit - Side note, waiting for Chicago to get some HSPA+ love :( Can't understand how Chicago wasn't one of the first cities to get it...
