Yes not sure why Samsung Australia Support is still pushing the older version unless the versions relate to the builds in some way.

Hell we are still running JG4 Firmware as a release well behind the rest of the world.

Have installed 1.5.3.10093_1_1 from the UK site and it was snappy to say the least.

Currently downloading 1.5.3.10093_80 from the UK. Will check the update options after install.

Manila or TouchFlo 3d is HTC's Sense user interface for windows mobile.

But in chinese clones it is heavily modified.

Do you really brought that phone?

[Desire General] proslava:
Yes. What should I do?

I was told that he needed the driver worked well.
[Desire General] artukas613:
If you buy it as HTC made Desire you were fooled. Maybe you cant get it back and get back you money?

If not you will have to live with what you got. No Android. Little chance of upgrades. Why?

No comunity like XDA. Chinese phones look the same outside, but different inside.

Desire clones can have different processors, different memory size, different camera and so on.

That is a problem with chinese phones. You cant rely on internal software to show correct hardware. Cant rely on chinese websites specs. I googled for few minutes and find it can be 3 different processors, ram/rom from 256 to 576, camera 2, 3, 3.2, 5 mpix., gps, no gps, screen Wvga, hga, amoled, led, lcd, capacitive, resistant.

Maybe search Windows Mobile Development and Hacking forum for some hardware showing software.

Maybe our desire forum members from China can help.

Hello.

I have been browsing the forums here and doing searched and reading some helpful information but long story short....

I have managed to soft brick my G1. I can power the phone on but I am frozen at the Tmobile G1 splash screen. I do not have a card reader and I have no idea how to use the adb.

Can anyone simply the method of resolving this issue? I would greatly appreciate it and would be forever in your debt.

-Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] topnomi:
well, it sound like you may have a little more than a soft brick...

try starting it while holding down HOME. this should boot into recovery. if it does not, then it sould like you have a real brick. i did that to a g1 once, it involved flashing *danger spl*.

if you do indeed have a real brick, there is some hope, but not much. search around the g1 forum for the jtag threads. there are some people working on it, and it sounds like someone may have figured it out, but it's a VERY technical solution requiring taking the phone apart and attaching it to your computer via a special cable.

good luck :)

if you're in need of a replacement phone, i've found craigslist to be an excellent resource. i've bought 2 phones on there in the last week. a cliq for $100 and a mytouch 1.0 for $85 both in VERY good condition.

i have edited the correct pngs and been able to re-pack and flash .zip file and it all boots ok but the bits i changed just show as a lightish grey rather than being transparent.....i read on another thread that in order for this to work you also need to edit a jar file, is this correct??

Hi, i called Orange france, and they told me that they will distribute 3 windows phone:

LG Optimus 7

HTC Mozart

Samsung Cetis

i did not found the last one on internet... but perhaps i misspel it?

do you know if one of these phone will have a physical keyboard?

since the hardware is locked by microsoft, there is no really room for constructor to create really diferents devices... my fear is : will HTC provide REAL 3d drivers on the phones? i mean, currently i don't play on my HD2, but WP7, will be very good to play...

i don't know if we'll be able to change the ROM... if not, i'm not sure i'll buy another HTC... but if yes, i'll do because of this forum...

do you have exact specs of these phones? or do you have an opinion on the best phone?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] REYES702:
I think you can change the Lockscreen background with "Lockscreen Widget". It costs money but it has many other benefits to it as well. If you don't like it, you can always get a refund within the first 24 hours.

As far as the sensor, I never noticed it until now so I couldn't tell you.

I can't actually see the sensors right now, but if there is a second one it is the proximity sensor to turn the touch screen off while in a phone call with the phone on your cheek.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kristrev:
Hello,

I have compiled my own kernel based off Samsung's source, but am experiencing problems after the flash. I compiled the kernel with Leshak's initramfs (cloned from his git) and Samsung's official source. The compilation itself was successful and the total file size of the zImage is around 6MB.

After the compilation, I replaced the zImage inside the PDA-file for the firmware I want to use (is this the correct way?) and used Odin to flash. The flash was successful, however, when the phone reboots it says it can't find the device /stl11 with the error message "No such device". I have also tried flashing with RomRecovery and it also appears to suceed, but it gives the same error message. For creating the update.zip, I used a script I here.

When I have seen similar errors when I have compiled the Linux kernel for other architectures, there has usually been a module missing. However, I have not been able to figure out if this is the case here, after trying several different solutions the error still occurs. Have you or anyone else experienced something similar and know how to fix it, or what I am doing wrong when I am compiling? I also noticed that the zImage-files in most distributions are smaller than mine, but I am not sure if this matters or not.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cruiz:
I can't disable the green LED notification flash for new emails. I went under Settings > Display > Notification Flash and unchecked for Email. I even unchecked for all options and still can't get the darn thing to stop flashing on new emails. I tested for alarm and the enable/disable works for that. I use Gmail.

If I disable Email notifications from within Gmail (Menu > More > Settings > uncheck Email notifications) then LED notifications stops also...but I need the email notification on or I won't know theres a new email...but the flash is annoying and drains battery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minjin:
Gmail is its own program. The "Email" setting probably refers to the "Mail" program.

As for the battery usage of a tiny surface mount LED, that thing could probably blink for years before it would run out of battery. Do you have any idea how little power a tiny, intermittently flashing LED uses? The normal self discharge of the lithium battery will be greater than the draw of that LED.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cruiz:
There is no setting within Gmail to disable this... It's still annoying in my opinion even if it doesn't drain the battery.

There has to be a way...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fchipm:
There is a way, quirky as it may be. If you're running stock or most Sense ROMS, from the home screen...

Menu - Settings - Display - Notification Flash - Uncheck whatever you want.

This is what I originally did...but it does not work.
