I think you're right, I did a wipe and flashed a fresh install + TI restore. Works perfectly fine. After flashing a different kernel it starts to screw up.
[Desire General] Yopsi:
Just wanted to let you guys know that the site is already working. Enjoy it.
[Desire General] TurboKan:
Thx, I will try it now.
[Desire General] popkid:
Only has options for Desire Z and Desire HD... not Standard Desire
[Desire General] iL_FeD:
they said that first supported devices would be those, we will have to wait
[Desire General] Yopsi:
Well but since i have a desire hd rom in my desire i already tried it. Kinda cool ringing the phone and knowing where it is thru the site... also i can see missed calls and incoming messeges. Htc scores again :D
[Desire General] irkan:
"Desire" is what started it all, they should have enabled it for the standard desire first :rolleyes:
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Needs Sense 2.0 to work, the HD and Z have HTC Hub apps in them which connect to HTCSense.com
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Fingers crossed for the next OTA for original Desire to have Email fix for Hotmail EAS and Sense 2.0 then...
[Desire General] bobbysixkiller:
has it been said us Desires users will get it?
[Desire General] owziee:
I've read at several sites that HTC have confirmed that the original Desire will get Sense 2.0 in a OTA update soon... I really hope it's true... But I won't cry if we don't get it because I think Sense already rocks the way it is! and if I ever get sick of it there are always alternatives like launcher pro and etc...
[Desire General] foxmeister:
I'd say it was more the Hero that started it!

Regards,

[Desire General] Kameo:
Waiting for our devices to be supported :(
[Desire General] !PANDA:
Well if you think about it then it probobly wont get the update as the sense alone wont fit onto our Desire's...
[Desire General] b4kk3r:
I don't know where you get this from, but in fact some people are already running the desire hd with sense 2.2 on their original desires. Can't see why an official update for the Desire "won't fit"
[Desire General] ljesh:
Probably because they

1. are using the sd card to install the ROM

2. have removed a bunch of useful/needed stuff (like 4 from 5 sense themes) to make it fit in the device itself.
[Desire General] DarkInovator:
I hope we can get a custom rom that will integrate Sense 2. I don't need the official OTA. Community ROM's are far better. Would like to see a new LeeDroid with Sense 2.
[Desire General] oursoul:
Of course they could get sense 2 to fit on, this is HTC, the company that can pull rabbits from out of their arses. It doesn't have to be the same version as the HD, but supporting htcsense.com would be magic!
[Desire General] febelus:
i've sense hd......contact,messages and foot print work.....positioning ring and block doesn't work......someone ave this working??
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Positioning works fine once you use Google Maps for the first time...
[Desire General] febelus:
i've used maps but don't view my position... i think is a htc problem because yesterday a see my position near africa and now i don't see any position....
[Desire General] Amrod89:
I think the problem is that the phone needs a GPS fix. So when you start maps for the first time, it get's a fix if you enabled gps. I'm not sure, but I can't test it either because I'm running AuraxTsense again. (to many bugs in the HD Roms)

[Hero CDMA General] saltyclams:
I currently have Sprint for my Hero and its modded and such and I love it... but while I might try to get an upgrade to another phone I will still have this Hero. I was considering putting it on MetroPCS and giving it to the lady or something.

What are the typical speeds using MetroWEB. Apparently it lists as 3G but everyone ive read about states that the speeds are much too slow to even be considered that.

Just some locations with actual speed tests would be such valuable information to me... If anyone can post such I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks.

hi

just got my desire from orange, but just wondering if there is a simple way to tell which screen i have got?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
what does it say on the box?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paperclip69:
would need to check when in the office tomrrow, but is it really that simple?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
not all the time, but in my case it says on the box 3.7-inch AMOLED touch sensitive screen, you could also try the "black screen test" copy a black wallpaper to your device, look at the image in full screen in a dark room, if you see any light bleading from the screen, chances are its slcd :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamiemeister:
If it's brand new, and on Orange I'm pretty sure it'll be SLCD like mine is.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paperclip69:
No mention on the box at all, its the Orange box so its just generic Orange stuff
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buzmay:
I it does not say Amoled then is SLCD, check if it says 3.7 inch touchsense or something like that then is SLCD.

But as said before if on the specs there is no AMOLED then is SLCD
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlpz:
It's not that simple. It could be AMOLED as well.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamiemeister:
If you download the Android SDK you can use adb shell to enter the following command:

dmesg | grep blank

If it says Samsung OLED then its AMOLED. Or Sony TFT is SLCD.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mordockcs:
Hey guys!! I'm new to the android scene, I managed to get this phone up and runing thanks to you guys!! Thank you so much!!

I now have a problem that I can't seem to find the solution...

My phone gets really bad 2G reception, 3g is normal but 2G is really bad, I tried another SIM card but with the same result...

Can it be a Radio flash imcompatibility? can it be it? If not what can be causing this? Can it be hardware related??

Please help me get around this one...I love my G1 :D

PS: I tried tons of ROMS already and tge end resolt was the same...

And please excuse my bad english

Thanks in advance!!

EDIT:

just wanted to say that i founf the solution, the problem is that the GSM radio, disconnects and we have to restart it manually...

i dont know the cause of this problem but if it happens to you, this i what i did to fix it.

1) to to market

2)download a download creator software like "any cut"

3)open any cut

4)do the fallowing sequence: New shortcut---activity---phone info (a shortcut should be on you screen now)

5)close any cut

6)open phone info

7)scrool down to "Turn off\on Radio" press the botton once.

8)now press it again until it reads "Turn off radio"

if not working go to:

1)any cut again---activity----data synchronization

2)open data synch

3)resynch everything

if not working

1)Replace SIM card

if not working

1) open your phone

2)check if any coaxial cable has come loose....

if not working (not sure about this one)

1)check your flashed radio version

2)ask for advice here...

hope it helps...

EDIt:

Hey guys have some updates on this...

I did all the steps above including updating the radio...it looked like it had fixed it but it got worse...

so i reverted to an older radio one that ends on 26I...

Reverting to an older ratio version did make it better but it still disconnects once a day...is this the stock radio is is there an older one?

in going tobring everything to stock and see if it works, i cant have this happening on me....

ill keep you posted...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
I think it doesn't matter if you are doin a speedtest under Android or WM. The data throughput depends on the radio. But it might be that the kernel of android knows better what to do with the data coming in, so it's maybe faster. :)

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
So I called sprint.customer service today because im tired of dropped calls and being on 1x at my house. Right now im at- 118 for singal.. so I told.the lady about problems. She said it was the phone.because on the website I have full.complete service. After 1hr of telling her while im standing outside so phone call wont get drop says its my phone. No its not. Its my second evo. The camera went out before 30 days. When I said im going to drop my service.she says it looks as if there is a bad cell tower in my area.

Alright I said.. when this happened. Around aug 5. Yeah the day I bought my phone I said? She said yeah and they have a tech working on it today. So I said.wow they just started to work on it. Said yeah.

So anyways told me to wait 72 hours. I missed a phone call for a.job interview last week because of bad reception and the spot got filled up the lady said because I didn't call back. Thanks sprint...

Anyways I asked for retentions. Talking to the guy and he said wait 72 hours. Nothing they can do. I said I live by the lake and im sure there is no tower by the lake. So I mentioned about the rep today because I have been in the sprint store 6 times complaining about service. Said to.get a airwave.. I told the guy about it and said.l its up to me if I want to buy one. Anywhere around my area its the same reception unless I go to the city.. you going to tell me I have full coverage in my area and after I say im going back to us celluar (great coverage) after a hour of talking its a cell tower and they are just not happening to work on it.

Im not impressed with the service around my home. Love the prices and phone but not the reception. I see people getting a airwave for free and fees waived and I asked about what a airwave is and says id have to buy one. I told himbim dropping sprint if not better in 3 days and he said he will put a note about it and a ticket for the complaint. Thanks for helping. Its not a cell tower. My neighbor has sprint with the tp2 before august and haves the same bad coverage. Thanks for lying sprint..

/rant..
[EVO 4G General] dwertz:
I think the only people that can give you an airave free is customer service when you cancel your phone account because poor reception. It is hit or miss. They may call your bluff. I talked to them quite a bit and they had me pay for the airave but I get free service which is usually I believe $4.95 month. I remember hearing something like AT&T were giving out mini towers for free if you had bad signal.
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
From a topic I saw prob a month ago is people were getting them through retentions. When I first told him im going to drop sprint for us cellular he asked if I wanted.to do it know and can do it for me. He didn't even try to.keep me as a customer. Going to wait 3 days then drop.. I can't miss phone.calls.for job interviews. I just can't.
[EVO 4G General] Sb22:
Most of the Airaves out there don't support 3G anyway, you'll be on 1x. The new version of Airave is supposed to bring 3G, but when I got my "free" Airave, it was a refurbished, 1x unit. No complaints from me though, the Airave works great and I just use WiFi while at home (seems to save battery too being on WiFi vs. Cell data).
[EVO 4G General] dwertz:
I would just tell them to work with you on it. Say I want to keep sprint but without signal at your house it makes it difficult. Do research to see the AT&T deal and bring it up to them. I never ask for one free, I talk to them and make them want to give it to me free because they want to help me as a customer.
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
Here is my coverage on.my couch.at home.

Edit: sorry put a.theme on and need to.change the info.on status to white. Says- 120 for reception.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
I would call again.
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
What should I say. The lady from customer service couldn't help me. She said.can't do anything unless I bring my phone in to a technician to find.out the problem. Its not the phone its the area. I am in a dead spot in sheboygan wisconsin while her coverage map says im fully.covered. maybe she talked to the guy in retentions about the "bad cell tower" before transfering me.. honestly took them over a month to send someone. Reception is fine as soon as I start to go into the city. Just I.seriously think.im in a dead spot and my neighbor been with them for awhile and wants to.switch to us.cellular because he gets the same coverage as me but I left that out calling them today. Didn't even think about it.

Im just lost in what to do. I was going to add my mom and sis to my plan because it be 130 a month and my mom and I would split the phone saving me some money. But if we can't get service.its pointless and I told them that. I was suppose to go back into.sprint today to add them if I got an airwave but I ended up not.. even called for high speed internet to even use the thing. Well I guess I can use it as wifi for phone and start playing me2 again plus netflex on 360.
[EVO 4G General] ausch30:
I would tell them what you wrote here. I would definitely call them back. I believe getting a free Airave also depends on how long you've been a customer. Someone on another thread said that he works for Sprint and that you have to have an account without a credit limit in order to get one free. I've been with Sprint for almost 10 years, I don't have a limit on my account, and I just got a free Airave w/ free service about a month ago (brand new Airvana 3G model). I know it's difficult but the key is to stay calm while talking to them.
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
Yeah I did. Didn't make threats or even raised my voice. But I just switched to sprint in august.. well I guess ill wait for the next three days. If not better I have to switch. Can the evo go on any other carriers than sprint. Seen some got on cricket and what not. Or ill sell my phone for 200 to make up the cancellation fee as it seems I wont be able to get an airwave.

Shouldn't be hard to sell. I have 3 batteries for it. All the red htc batterys. Plus ill throw in my 16gb sd card..
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
martyzidek,

Coverage maps can be very misleading, I have run into this very same issue in the past. CS says that "you've got great coverage, it must be your phone", and then a repair tech says "your phone is fine, must be coverage".

The Airave device WILL fix your coverage issue, provided you have sufficient bandwidth. And YES, the device will give you 3G coverage, full bars in fact. As long as you have a decent 'net connection (consistently above 1 or 2 megs), and you place the device near a window (it uses a GPS radio), you shouldn't have any issues. Be aware that we are talking about a 'mini-tower', so don't expect to be able to be rowing your boat across the lake and stream YouTube videos the whole way across. For your average sized home, you should be OK receiving calls inside and in the immediate vicinity outside.

You really do have to lean on Sprint, and try to get your issue bumped up to a supervisor to get the device for free. If it seems like a lost cause, and you don't want to pay for the device, I would just move to a different carrier with solid signal, or that offer hassle-free femtocells to customers in poor coverage areas. I manage a corporate account, so I don't have any trouble at all when I have issues.

Best of luck to you.
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
Thanks. Im going to give the three days if not better than ill call back since they have it in the system that I have called few times and been in the store 6 times about the issue. I just don't get you have to be a long time.customer to get one waived free. So I have to put up with bad reception for a long time to be eligable which doesn't seem reasonable. I don't like yelling or putting.people down knowing it gets you nowhere from experience. Maybe in the 72 hours and isnthe same they might take it in a new direction and maybe waive a airwaive for me. Im even willing to pay the fee every month for it but not the 100 dollars to buy the thing. So that's what im going to do. Wait.. if I can't get a airwave waived ill change for sure. But id it is the so.called bad tower he said my 2 months I paid for will be credited. He even offered my some interent card for my computer. Not sure what that was about I want reception not internet. So have no clue why he would offer me that and not a airwave so if anyone know what he was talking about id like to know.

I'm on my fathers plan...we both have an evo....sprint had mailed him a free airrave last year and gave him free service....when I got my evo I had signal issues at home as well...they mailed me a free airrave also with free service....I wonder if its because we are sprint premiere customers.
[EVO 4G General] teamgreen02:
I got a free Airave about a month ago. It was after reading the thread on how to get a free one. I just told them I got 1 bar of roaming service in my house and that t-mobile and Verizon were perfect, which they are. They told me an airave was a possible solution and told me the regular price. I said I already paid 90 or so per month and I shouldn't have to pay extra to have service at my house. She said that was the answer she needed to hear and then she sent it to me free with no monthly fee.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:

[EVO 4G General] Semantics:
I called and asked about the Airvana. I get great service outside, but I think the walls of my house are made of lead or something, because I got no service at all when indoors. I'm not on ASL, but they sent me the Airvana free, waived the activation fee, and waived the monthly fee. I love Sprint. I didn't even have to complain, I just spoke to the rep about solutions to getting better service in my house.
[EVO 4G General] 513fabe:
I asked to talk to retentions they said why i said becuz of bad service, which i got between 90-105 dbms or wutever at my parents which i have them n my younger bro on my plan so got my free airrave they said my address qualified but its bs bcuz i live in the city, n i was talking bout my parents home which isnt...basically from my exp. I think theyre giving it to whoever can lie or if you can get the right service rep....call back if you get a bad rep....
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Read previous posts.... can't get one through Sprint right now, sold out. They also go by the address on your account so it's not BS... you're in the city and im 99% sure your address does qualify. If you don't get service at your parents... well that's like every other service provider - service is not guaranteed everywhere.
[EVO 4G General] ritzbrie:
I got my free Airave with free service by calling and saying that I have a bad signal, 3G is abysmally slow and I want an Airave at no charge to me since it isn't my fault that they aren't supply good signal in my area.

The customer service rep I spoke to sent me to someone in the retentions department. I explained exactly what I wanted, and Airave for free with 0 a month for the service. He said since it was a consistent problem (I actually had to open an advanced tech support ticket and they sent guys out to the tower) that they would give me one for free with the $5 a month credited back to me.

I find the best way to deal with Sprint is ask for exactly what you want.
[EVO 4G General] masbirdies:
When you call back....

and customer service answers, ask them to immediately send you to customer relations (retention). They will ask why. Tell them it is in regards to an on-going issue with your reception. When you get the retentions person on the phone, be nice, and simply state that the 3 days didn't produce any better results, you just lost a job opportunity because of no signal in the house, and you really need some help.

They didn't give me one on my first attempt but...did on the second.
[EVO 4G General] :
They are not sold out.
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
Ok. Sprint called me 3 times went straight to voicemail. Got the vm when I went to sprint. Called them back and ask what they wanted. The lady said was calling back because there was a note for changine service. So I told her what the call wad about yesterday. In 3 min she offered me a airwave. I have a credit limit and only been with them for 2 months. Also they are crediting my account. Funny first lady said bad cell tower yesterday and this one says its not. Will be here on monday fees waived. And to help sprint out I added my mom and sister to my plan..

Funny all I said is why I called yesterday and how the retention guy offered a modem for computer instead of helping with reception. She said well we have a airwave and I said I know about it. Said she is talking to a customer service rep and said I cam get one free of charged.

So retentions have airwaves and not out till end of year or matters if u have a credit limit or not. And it shouldn't matter. Not like im not going to not pay them. Good credit or bad they should help u stay as a customer and retentions yesterday when I said ill.cancel within the 3 days if not better and asked if I wanted to do it then, that he was able to.

Shows how it depends who u talk to. Im still happy with sprint overall just not the lady or retentions guy yesterday over an hour.
