Because SuperOneClickv1.4 Root did not work for me, I repacked zImage(kernel) from JPM to a single tar for rooting the old fashioned way (flash old kernel, apply update.zip, reflash new kernel): http://www.multiupload.com/I8DCOJBT6J

- extract and copy update.zip to internal sd-card of your phone

- run odin with auto reboot UN-checked, loading the i9000_Kernel.tar as PDA

- put the phone into download mode and flash the i9000_Kernel.tar

- pull the battery. reboot into recovery mode and flash the update.zip you put in the root folder of your sdcard.

- pull the battery again, reboot into download mode again.

- run odin with auto reboot checked, loading the I9000XXJPM_KERNEL.tar as PDA

Hopefully someone can created an update for a working Recovery 2e and ClockworkMod and maybe a fully deodexed and zipaligned ROM (without any other changes).

Also waiting for a Circle Battery Mod and Stock Lockscreen Mod... and voodoo of course!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kooltools:
I so wish someone could create a simple update.zip which would work with stock recovery.

Also custom roms would be cool
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rawat:
Can't, because they have to be digitally signed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rajendra82:
Can't you guys use the rageagainstthecage method we use on Captivate Froyo JI6? That method does not need having to flash three different times with Odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Chainfire:
CF-Root (single flash) is coming up.. already built it, but having trouble flashing JP6 itself :/

A hello across the xda forum,

We're holding a survey on how mobile-app developers market (and monetize) their mobile applications. Its a global survey and focused mainly for app developers. The survey's main purpose is to answer questions like how the mobile apps market is evolving and what will it become in the coming years. This information will help developers better develop, market and therefore monetize their apps.

Would anyone be interested in this kind of research ? :-)

As the title says really. Has anyone from the UK had any experience of HTC warranty repairs?

My Desire is booked for collection tomorrow for a few hardware faults to be fixed. Do they usually take the full 15 days that they quote?

I'm currently back to using my old faithful Nokia 6310i. What a great phone that is. It's years old and still works flawlessly. Although I'm not sure I'd go back to it full-time :p
[Desire General] isaw:
For me, they've been very good and very quick. Had my Nexus One back in 7 days and my Desire in 8.
[Desire General] th3:
Had mine back in 5 working days, 7 in total. The LED flash had stopped working (before the days we could use it as a flashlight).

One of my favourite phones of all time. Actually, I still use an old 3330, 8850, 8910i and Ericsson T28 too. All working and looking in tip top shape.

[Desire General] wendy75:
They took 25 days with my phone, and I was told they could take up to 28 days with it. Mine wouldn't power on, so I took it to CPW who had it 2 days before they sent it to HTC.
[Desire General] adjei7:
I had a nightmare experience! Involved two Desires, and took 3 months to resolve. Still not 100% sure it's ok.

Got my Desire in March, first batch of Desires. Was fine until end of June when started getting random restart, related to a faulty motherboard. I sent it in via T-Mobile who sent it to a repair centre the next day (signified by online tracking update). On day 8 of no further update I email in to ask what is going on, and they do stuff and send it back on day 10. All they did was a software update and changed a sticker, and problem still existed.

I complained and moaned to T-Mobile, who after a while gave in and gave me another Desire. This one had a worse problem. Screen kept on cutting out even though the rest of the phone was working. Took it on holiday with me and proved to be totally useless because of the issue. Come back and send it in directly to HTC this time hoping to get better service, but it seems like it all goes back to the same repair centre in Milton Keynes.

They send it back 3 weeks later after fixing the receiver instead of the screen. There was nothing wrong with the receiver! I complain big time and ...

Long story short, send it back again gets fixed after the engineer phones me up to get a description of the problem. Also one of the managers phoned me up to give me updates on the phones progress. She actually called me up yesterday to see if the phone was still ok. So far so good. I guess I was unlucky, but it was a nightmare experience, as I love the phone so much (still).

Customer service was good as they always got back to me immediately, but repair centre was rubbish. I feel they owe me compensation for such a crap experience, but so far nothing.
[Desire General] rolfd:
Well so far we have a 50/50 chance of getting decent service then? lol.

I'm going to hate having to hand mine to the courrier tomorrow, but hope that I get a sensible technician who does his job and gets it back to me ASAP. I'm already lost without it as I have it packed up. Can't check twitter/facebook, or emails without having to go to my laptop.

I never realised how much I depended on it.
[Desire General] liverpoolphil:
touch HD returned May, June,Sept and Oct. Each time it was a 'manufacturer repair' and took the full 28 days! Was exchanged twice (so they say) but still developed the same screen problem everytime

Finally got an exchange authorised for a desire :D, hope its a bit more reliable than the touch:mad:
[Desire General] rolfd:
:eek: You were patient. lol

This is my second Desire going for repair, first one went faulty 3 days after purchase so I got a full exchange at the shop. Over all I think the Desire is a decent bit of kit. Hopefully yours will be fine or I'd imagine you will go to an iPhone :eek:
[Desire General] chiefmcbeef:
Sent mine off due to the overheating/reboot loop when using 3G.

Phone was collected by UPS, was away for about 16 days and returned by UPS. The phone had the mainboard changed I presume, as the IMEI was different, chassis and screen/glass layer remained the same along with my screen protector. I got the phone back about a week ago.
[Desire General] MattSkeet:
Sent mine with battery problems. They took it waited 5 days and phone suppose to be sent but tang and they said they found a fault with receiver and antenna. Another 3 days. Now I have a problem with 3g hanging up I'll wait for desire hd and than send it for repair maybe I'll get a nice replacement if I moan at the same fault several times....
[Desire General] landwomble:
Last thing I sent to HTC was an O2-variant of the Artemis, to HTC UK. It failed out of warranty (I'd bought it on eBay as well) and I rang O2 and got nowhere. I rang HTC and they explained that in theory it should be sent to O2 for service, as it was a rebodied HTC 8300 built especially for O2, but in practice if I sent it in they'd sort it out for me. They took about a week to replace the trackball and mainboard and post it back, and they charged me a very reasonably 60UKP. I was very happy with service.

I don't know if this is still how they operate now they're a bigger, direct-to-consumer company though.
[Desire General] krohme:
Well, to be brief..

1). First repair for the desire rebooting all the time took nearly 28 days. :eek:

2). Second repair has gone just over a week.. still pending, but I.m sure the duration will end up being roughly 28 days. :rolleyes:

Personally, I think HTC's repair service is utter b%$$*$£s!

A month is too long for a company of their caliber.
[Desire General] contrary:
where and how do you send your faulty mobile? because i bought mine from online supplier on tmobile, but it is not locked. so what is the sending process? how do you have your mobiles picked up by courier?

thank you
[Desire General] streetdaddy:
My desire was turning off when light pressure applied to the back of the phone. I sent it back 3 times after them failing to repair it each time, and finally on the 3rd time they replaced it...

Each time I waited 7-10 days for it to be returned.
[Desire General] shortie11:
Question for those with experience of HTC repair service: do HTC send back your original box? The ticket sheet I got last week recommended that you send your item in the manufacturer's packaging, but I realised after I sent it that maybe they won't send back my box (I'm talking about the white Desire box from the shop). Also, I wasn't happy with sending my receipt so sent a photocopy of it, is this okay? Do HTC return your original receipt if you send it?
[Desire General] Budadank:
Got mine back yesterday after reporting the rebooting issue.

1) They have replaced the motherboard, although the notes don't say what they have done. I know this because the Micro USB connector is cbrand new clean looking and not full of pocket-fluff.

2) Turnaround was about 10 days. I wasn't counting exactly.

3) I did not send it in original packaging, I wrapped it up in wood floor underlay and sent it in a jiffy bag which was then folded over in half. I got it back in a box exactly like the original Desire Box that I bought it in.

4) I had to send the original receipt, as I couldn't be arsed to find a photocopier. I did not get this back.

5) So far so good, device is no longer rebooting but time will tell I suppose.

Overall very happy with HTC's repair service. I've been usign HTC phones for about 8 years now and never had any issues with getting them repaired.
[Desire General] chiefmcbeef:
I didn't send a receipt or use my original box. As Budadank says, the phone came back in a similar box to the original retail one but is clearly a repair return type box, rather than a retail one, pic attached.
[Desire General] ste1164:
Now thats one reason why the iPhone wins. Apples customer service is one of the best. If your phone gets broken you will be a few mins in store and if they can't fix it they replace it there. Anywasy back to the subject. I need to send my desire for repair as it has been rebooting so I hope my customer service is ok.
[Desire General] vincevoxbox:
my Desire got wet in my pocket whilst out walking..It was still turned and and working in safe mode..when i turned it off and dried out the phone overnight etc etc it would not work when i switched it back on,All i got was a white boot screen but none of the buttons would work allowing me to scroll through any of the options to boot etc etc.

i purchaed the phone for £300 off ebay,sim free and it was working perfectly up until this point.

I have sent the phone back to HTC and they have given me a bill of repair totalling £236.00. To be honest i think this is a complete ripp off.I could buy another seconhand phone for that much money,but as they know i am in a pickle and have no choice but to accept the price pay it and hope that my phone is ok when i get it back.

I can totally honestly say.." I wish i had paid full whack and bought an Iphone from apple". i am not impressed at all.

I did pay the invoice online 6 days ago and I have still not received my phone back from repair centre or had any updates or correspondence with HTC...very very poor show in my opinion. and a very expensive secondhand phone so far !!
[Desire General] duryard:
Sent my Desire off on Monday 8th Nov as it was freeezing and crashing and rebooting during sat nav using google and copilot. I am getting it back this monday 1th Nov. (Tomorrow) I have been tracking it via UPS. I noticed on the dispatch note they emailed me that the IMEI number had changed so I rang them and asked why (thought I might be getting a refurb back). They have replaced the Mobo. So like a new phone really I guess.

I bought the phone on Ebay. Unlocked and rooted so I guess I may have to unlock and root it again and then pick my fav custom rom.
[Desire General] andyb949:
But iPhones aren't covered for water damage either, so you'd still have had to pay to get it fixed.

You need insurance if you want to be protected against things like that.
[Desire General] vincevoxbox:
yeh...more money..we need phones that are not dead at the slightest bit of moisture..it was,nt soaked it was damp..funny thing is..Ive had to use a stupid £10 samsung mobile with my Sim to get my calls..and thats been in the same coat pocket in a lot worst situations and still working..i keep abusing it to see what it can take.

they should be made water tight and shock proof for the amount of money we are paying these days.dont talk to me about insurance..it shouldnt need insuring against moisture..and warenty doesnt cover it also.

Battery Drain Warranty Repair... on Thursday

HTC are picking my Desire up on Thursday because it drains battery so badly. On standby I get about 6 hours out of it... somewhat less than quoted in the manual. I'm hoping for a direct swap-out in the shortest possible time. Will update when it is back.
[Desire General] led-zeppalike:
I gave my Desire to a guy in a T-Mobile store last Saturday and he sent it in for repair on Monday. It was back in the store, repaired on Thursday.

The problem was one dead pixel so I was extremely pleased that they didn't just send it straight back. Think they swapped the AMOLED for an SLCD though but I'm not too bothered about that.
[Desire General] Ultrakiller:
Like ever i called the main house before buy product:

in italy there is a geographic number but over voip they respond from est europe and don't talk italian (just 1 word over 3 was exactly)

the operator made me afraid: If ur telephone will broke off over 24month after bought you send it to collection center in your state, and after we will send tour phont to london where it will be fixed!...in 3weeks come back

:eek:

up to now im lucky never broked....(can i touch my ba*ls? :D)
[Desire General] p3eps:
I sent off my HD2 with a screen alignment fault.

It was away for a little over a week, and came back like a completely different beast. It was so much better to use when the key I pressed on the screen matched the one the software thought I picked!

I couldn't fault the HTC repair other than they recycled my screen protector - which was full of bubbles when I got it back.

I too went back to an old Nokia which worked brilliantly and needed charged twice in my week! It's amazing how much you miss mail, internet & social networks when you have an ancient mono screen phone!!
[Desire General] killall:
"Yes, it is a BIG problem"

So after developing the dreaded boot loop, called HTC this morning.

Had my speech all worked out in my head.

The girl asked "what's the problem", "well.." says I, "my desire has started boot looping, it is a common problem I believe, there are numerous internet forums..." "Yes" interrupts the girl, "it is a big problem, don't worry, we will collect the phone tomorrow and it will be repaired".

Is this an admission from HTC that there is an inherent problem?

Wish I'd asked the girl for her name. Hindsight is a wonderful thing!

Will keep everyone posted on the turnaround.
[Desire General] fossean:
My experience was very similar. Phoned HTC yesterday because of rebooting / screen freezing while using 'Navigation', and occasionally when gaming. They seemed well aware of the problem and before I had even finished my spiel she suggested that the mainboard would probably need changing.

UPS have collected it already. I was told it take up to 14 days, just hope it's no longer as I really like my Desire!
[Desire General] Greenie-UK:
i have a DHD which i bought brand new SIM Free from ebay on release day, started showing up a Vibrating motor problem, doesnt work all the time and makes a horrible noise when it does ! im not too Clued up on HTC warranty. how do i go about getting a repair sorted ?

Thanks
[Desire General] ste1164:
Ring up HTC (their hotline is on the website) and you can sort out a repair from there.
[Desire General] hankhandsome:
would it be better to ring HTC rather than take it to Phones4u and let them send it off?. I guess they'll arguably send it to the same place anyway, so just wondering if I should cut out the middle man?
[Desire General] rolfd:
I would contact HTC directly if I was you. Your retailer would likely take even longer with it!

Damned Weather

Phone picked up last Friday, repaired yesterday (Wednesday), dispatched today!

Now I have to hope the van can get through the snow!!

Damned Weather :mad:
[Desire General] fossean:
To update, it was returned eight days after I phoned to arrange repair. Pretty pleased with that really, as UPS delivery/collection had it about four days, and allowing for the weekend HTC only took two days to actually repair it. New IMEI, so new mainboard. Initial tests seem positive; no more reboots when under heavy usage or using GPS.

Does anyone know if it is possible to work out the date/place of manufacture of the mainboard? The S/N stayed the same, so doesn't help. I would be a lot happier if I knew for sure that the mainboard was one of the later batch, which don't appear to suffer the random reboot issues.
[Desire General] fossean:
Phone died completely today. Only had it for three days after the first repair, and the reboot problem had been fixed, but today the screen went off suddenly, and now it won't even boot.

Due to be collected for repair tomorrow. :(
[Desire General] jfphillips:
Contact htc direct. You'll get it back within 10 days at the most. Really good service. Can't fault them.

It's obviously still under warranty as the desire only came out in April.

I had to send mine back as it was rebooting itself on heavy use.
[Desire General] lambrospower:
I had my Desire repaired from HTC (i bought it from Clove) and their service is amazing. They fixed it perfectly and in good time in general. Also they packaged it in a lovely package with title "I'm Back" which i liked :P Overall i am very happy with my experience with them!
[HD2 General] migusch:
Hi,

I have bought a 32GB micro sd card from Sandisk, recently. Before I had a 16GB from Sandisk. With the new card I suddenly have a battery consumption in standby from 15 to 20% over night. Before 3-5%. I thought it must be something wrong with the card. I ordered a 32GB card from Transcend - and it´s the same behavior.

So, what is this?? It seems that with 16GB all is fine and with 32...

There are no active programs, no data connection and nothing installed on the card. I have formatted the card again in the device - nothing changing.
[HD2 General] elyl:
Put the card in your computer, copy all the contents off it, format it and copy them all back on. Don't format the card in the phone.
[HD2 General] airwater9:
I had same problem with a Sandisk 32GB which was bought from a reputable reseller. Tried everything and in the end gave up and now live with a 16GB just fine.
[HD2 General] troed:
Strange ........ I am now with Sandisk 32gb for 4 month and absolutely nothing changed in batt drainage ...... :confused: 5% overnight with all caches possible moved to sd.

Maybe depends on interval wm has to write to storage card ? email-att., update files? meaning that batt consumption is higher for each read-write cycle ?
[HD2 General] migusch:
This is what I have tried first: Copy all my stuff on the card and put it in the phone. Later I have formatted it in the PC - copy all stuff - put it in the phone.

At the end I have formatted it in the phone, without copy anything on it.

No change, the same behavior, whatever I have tried.
[HD2 General] migusch:
This would be logical, when there is something to write on the card. But I put the blank formatted card in the phone! No apps installed on it, no e-mail, etc. Closed all apps and no data connection, wlan, bluetooth, etc. Pure standby!
[HD2 General] migusch:
Now I am happy with ROM 3.14!

I have updated to ROM 3.14 and now it´s working! Power consumption for both cards 16 and 32gb is equal now. Seemingly it was a malfunktion in the 1.48 ROM in conjunction with 32gb cards.
[HD2 General] pakure:
i think the problem is that you have not installed the sd card hotfix from htc on your 1.48 rom...which is usually included in next versions of rom :rolleyes:

"Update for HTC HD2 SD Card Storage Cards

This update for HTC HD2 allows the HD2 to properly read the amount of free space on a storage card, so you can take as many photos or videos as possible. It also enhances support for some sizes of storage cards."
[HD2 General] migusch:
Should not be the problem, because I had ALL updates installed on the 1.48 ROM.

EDIT: I found that any other android platforms also having this issue after updating to Froyo Rom. So any suggestions or resolutions?

I use the new radio rom 2.15, android rom froyo v3.1 by darkstone

the call and signal is quite bad if I boot as Android.

The signal sometimes go empty at the same place.

When I make a call or receive one, the audio quality is quite bad, the sound is distorted and cut. (not all the time but during one call it happens often)

So I tried windows mobile and called, Crystal clear.

Can anyone help me out to make the quality of phone function same to the android one?
[HD2 General] dso371:
Hi, there are a number of very good action screen cabs for the HD2, e.g. the 12 Button Action Screen on the Co0kie Energy ROM.

I want to have two different ones, one mapped to the right hard end key and the other to the left soft key.

Problem: whichever cab I install, it maps the action screen to *both* the right end key and the left soft key. If I install another one, or try to map the left soft key to another one, it doesn't work: each cab maps to both the hard and soft key.

Does anyone know a tweak guaranteed to work so I can map one action screen to the left soft key and another to the right hard end key? It might not be possible with action screens, I don't know. But maybe there's a registry tweak or other mod that will do this?

I hope I'm making sense!

Thanks guys,

I'm looking to see chess titans on android, its the game that shipped with windows 7 and it features fully animated chess pieces when moving them, instead of the regular "instant" move to square that I see in all the chess android apps today. (That confuses me x))

So of this is at all possible, it would be awesome to get it ported over to replace that choppy androidknight.

Anyone?
[Android Apps and Games] ConstantineXVI:
Needless to say, there's a rather slim chance of Microsoft Chess Titans getting an Android port. Chess for Android isn't animated, but it leaves a trace of your last move on the screen for you which should be enough to keep moves straight.
