Why downgrade to 1.6 man ?!

1. Upgrade it from 1.6 to 2.1

2. Upgrade 2.1 to 2.1 with fastboot

3. Upgrade 2.1 with fastboot to 2.1 with fastboot and Clockwork recovery

4. Add the latest KERNEL

5. Root the phone

6. Flash it with OpenSwift4.3 (most people got problems with 4.4)

7. Download SetCPU and clock it to max 806 - stable

8. Download LauncherPro from the net... Install it and make it your Defoult launcher

9. Now you got the cheapest and best mobile on the EARTH :D

Im using it without any problems and its quicker and better then my friends HTC Desire !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

btw. dont install any App Killers like Advanced Task Killer or something like that cause its killing your mobile, it doesent help you out... Kills your CPU and battery a lot !
[GT540 Optimus General] Destroyer-XDA:
I liked 1.6 but there are few apps I wanted that required 2.1 so I went with the Black Quarx rom, great so far and everything works (afaik). Still think its a shame that the original 1.6 rom isn't available.

It does what ???:eek: What about Task Manager?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddave2000:
Hi, Apologies if this is in the wrong section.

I hope someone can help. I am trying to root my HTC Desire using the latest Unrevoked software.

I have followed all instructions, (removed htc sync, installed the usb driver). I have run the software and it did it's thing and says root is done. I can see the Superuser app in my apps. I installed titanium backup which requested Root access fine. I granted it, but titanium backup came back saying it couldn't get root access.

I have run the unrevoked software a few times and it doesn't seem to fail, or throw any errors at all.

This is the process:

Plug phone into computer (Windows 7 ultimate).

Run unrevoked sw.

It pushes the recovery image.

Reboots a few times.

Says it is getting root.

Says "Triumph" etc. Finished with Done.

Final reboot goes to normal phone fully booted.

Still cant get root.

If I boot into the boot menu I see the following information:

Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT 0.93.0001

Microp 0.31d

Touch Panel SYNT0101

Radio 5.09.05.30_2

If I select recovery menu I can see the Clockworkmod recovery menu is displayed.

I have an unbranded Desire running the HTC OTA 2.2 Froyo update.

Android Version 2.2

Baseband: 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2

Build number: 2.10.405.2 CL226611 Release keys

SW number: 2.10.405.2

Am I missing a step somewhere or should it just work, one button press?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziggy1001:
I did mine on Windows 7 ultimate x86 so it is possible on that OS
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr0orz1337:
¿Have you select "Charge Only" and "Remember this" when you have plugged the USB cable?

¿Are you sure your phone had USB Debugging turned on by having gone to Menu>>Settings>>Applications>>Development and checking USB debugging?

:rolleyes:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddave2000:
Yep. I have followed all the instructions. The process runs fine it just doesn't seem to work, or im doing something wrong. Is there anything I need to do in the recovery menu?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewaldtx:
I was unable to root my phone using Windows 7 64bit. When I used a computer with a 32bit operating system, I had No problems.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xeno87:
That's a bug in Titanium, i had it 2 or 3 times, too.

Check that "Apps from other sources" thing (don't know the exact name in the english rom), restart your phone and run titanium again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddave2000:
Well I've managed to get it working. I had to install the busy box application. Not sure what it does but titanium backup now works.

Thank you for your help.
[Streak 5 General] olemartinorg:
Hi all!

I've had my streak since august now, and lately it has developed some screen weirdness in the upper corners. It started in the upper left corner, but it didn't bother me (i can still press the menu-button up there). Now it has duplicated to the upper right corner, and that bothers me some more - i can't see what time it is..

Is there anyone else who's experiencing this kind of problem? Does anyone have a clue what the dell return policy would be in this case? I live in Norway, so i'm not sure i want to return it if the dead pixel patches doesn't grow.. (i'll probably have to pay tax for the phone when they return it in the mail!)
[Streak 5 General] gilrad:
Looks like your LCD broke underneath the glass. It should be covered under warranty, though they might make things difficult for you if there is any visible damage to the outside.
[Streak 5 General] BrokenPixel:
Seems like you have your streak on the trouser pockets most of the time, and in that time seems like it has been pushed against the screen for so long that the pixels are burning... Just my tought. don't know if this is cover under warranty but you can probably get away with it because there is no sign of misuse.
[Epic 4G General] user9991:
I just thought I'd let give a brief review of my experience with some of the cheap batteries and accessories that can be found on eBay for the Epic. I bought a $22 set that came with the following:

extra battery

car windshield mount(for google nav)

car charger

home charger

usb cord

extra battery charger

belt-clip case

I was a little skeptical given the price, but figured 22 was worth a gamble. In the end i have to say, while the products, other than the battery, are a little cheap feeling, they all work great. The batteries performed just as good if not BETTER (although probably the placebo effect) than the one that came with the phone.

Just wanted to share my experience so others might save a few bucks to get some decent accessories.

Cheers
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
I also think the batteries are worth the modest cost. In my experience, they basically work. But I have seen credible reports that they might test out at a lower capacity than claimed -- 1200 maH vs the 1500 maH nominal rating. The quality can vary from unit to unit.

One other caveat, I think, is that switching batteries with mismatched capacities might confuse the calibration of the battery meter on the phone. So the percentage reported, which is really an estimate based on empirical measures of voltage and temperature, may be a little off.

But compared to the high price of an OEM spare, the knockoffs seem like a thinkable method to mitigate battery issues.
[Epic 4G General] specialk0324:
There was another post about this somewhere I think......I said that I had two sets of these cheapies. Months later and I feel that they're just ok...they (in my case at least and after using them for more than a month) will last about 75% of the standard Sammy batt. All in all, I'm happy with them for the money. There have been times where I've flashed myself crazy at work and these things got me thru the day
[Epic 4G General] mikel719:
Is there a extended battery for the epic yet?
[Epic 4G General] specialk0324:
I believe that seido (sp?) Is in the works of making one but i have no idea if its out yet or how it will affect the back of the phone
[Epic 4G General] mikel719:
I'll have to look into that. I know they have the custom back doors but don't know If I'd silk be able to use my case with my epic.
[Epic 4G General] blulitespecial:
I have bought the cheap ones on ebay for my EVO before. It was 2 batteries and the battery charger. They seemed to work really well for only $12. I was able to heavily use my phone and get through the day without having to worry about battery life.

I just bought two batteries, a battery charger, and 3 screen protectors for $10. They're shipping but I hope they're just as good. I hate monitoring my battery and worrying about shutting stuff off when I'm not using it.
[Epic 4G General] aero1:
my results have been mixed. I have three epics and got a bunch of spare battereis from several ebay vendors.

First, the are all counterfeit. They are not bulk pack g9 or g7.

The g7s I got have labels that say samsung. Their wight is perceivable less than the stock battery. They are max 1200 mah, and three of four (the vendor sent me two replacements) will report "battery is not connected" meaning the difference is substantial enough for the Epic to sense it and not charge it, although they work with standalone charger.

The otehr ones I got weigh the correct amount, but say in a tiny font "for" right before the samsung logo. In other words the label is a counterfeit use of samsung logo, desinged to trick the buyer who doesn't see the tiny "for" in an ebay picture. They also seem to be no more than 1200 mah.

all in all having a few spare 1200 ma and a charger for $10 isn't bad for several spare battery uses, I don't think they will harm the phone. But you are not getting a steal on the real deal.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tayatl:
To run bionix fusion 1.1 do I install bionix rom and the fusion 1.1 kernel? Or is the kernel part of the rom? Or is the kernel the samerthing as the rom?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tayatl:
Somebody? Anybody? Team Fusion help a brother out lol dats the only dumb question I have, I promise
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Generic112:
If you downloaded it from the team whiskey website, it should come with the kernel designated by the name of the file (Stock, JAC, or KK). If that's the case, you don't have to flash a kernel separately.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSneakerWhore:
All Bionix roms come in kernal flavors....they are built into the roms themselves.

Pick the version you want--BE CAREFUL OF VOODOO--for future flashes you will need to disable it. Don't forget or you will be in a world of hurt to fix it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henreeg:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beniuec:
Getting ready to flash myself but I still have questions in clockwork recovery if I make a nandroid backup does that backup the stock kernel too. Also I have hardware lock fix installed will that be gone after I flash thanks for the help
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragoth12:
I have been told that yes, the nandroid backup will backup the kernel as well. My wife's vibrant has the hardware lock fix and it didn't overwrite it when I flashed Bionix 1.9.1 so I would assume you won't lose the fix either, just try to get into recovery or download mode via hardware after the flash to see if it stuck.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] michaelkahl:
HTC Incredible Otterbox Defender series

So after my first evening with the case I thought I'd post my initial impressions. The case is a dust/lent magnet but this is no different than other silicone cases I've seen. I've had some issues with the screen protector sticking to my phantom skinz protector but it's quickly fixed by pressing on both sides of the case. It's nothing like I used to see on my 3gs Defender.

The screen protector does affect viewing quality of the screen, but it's not bad and you get used to it. The screen still looks better compared to the EVO's washed out screen.

The belt clip works well. My 3gs only fell because of the poor belt clip design, but this one seems more secure. Speaking of which, no drop test yet
[Droid Incredible Accessories] michaelkahl:
Here are some additional up close images. I'm showing the cover for the lens / flash as well as the inside of the front cover. You can see the hole for the optical trackball and the dark cloth that covers the speaker.

I also have a couple more things to note.

1. Without my Phantom Skinz applied (I had front only) the phone feels loose inside the case. Not sure if this is by design.

2. Again, without the Phantom Skinz, I eliminated the sticky screen issue but now it feels like a resistive touch screen of sorts. You can feel the protector depress onto the glass.

3. Lint/Dust magnet!

4. It feels great in the hand and the belt clip is much better than the 3gs and older style defender clips. I haven't had one accidental drop. When I used my 3gs it would always fall out.

5. I compared it to a friends 3gs defender and a Seidio Rugged case and it's actually bulkier than both! It was surprising, but not much bulkier.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] itisjustme:
Will it fit with the HTC 2150 extended battery?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] athenslb57:
I received my case yesterday but it seems just a tad too big since the phone slided back and forth when you shake it.

michaelkahl, how does your case fit?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Phoenix111:
I also just got the Defender for my Incredible and my case does the same thing. When I shake it side to side you can hear the phone move. This is my first Otterbox so I just assumed it was normal.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] athenslb57:
Its not normal, I called Otterbox and they are sending me a new case but they are on backorder so it will probably be a while. Told me to throw the other one away...

I have since fixed the sliding issue but cutting a few slivers out of a business card and putting on both sides and at the bottom. Shouldn't have to do this with a $50 case but whatever works I guess.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] setexascustoms:
I have the Seidio Rugged and I couldn't be happier, and since it's designed as two seperate cases you have the option of just using the inner Innocase. Also the Seidio belt clip locks and it's near impossible the get the phone out without unlocking it, just my two cents :)
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Wynnded:
rant...

I ordered my case moments after getting the notification email last Thursday. I rang them today to ask if my order was okay and was told that they are backordered nearly two weeks.....I live only three hours from them and they shipped out-of-state orders first?!?.....:confused::(:mad:

I'm on the edge here.....

Thanks for listening.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] PhillyCheez:
Shakes in the case? That's very disappointing... I'm waiting till I hear better reviews. Thanks for the post.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Phoenix111:
My defender also fits a little odd. The Incredible moves around within the inner shell as if it were loose. I called Otterbox and they agreed to send me a replacement under the condition I would have to send the original back so they could inspect it.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] GMK83:
That thing is way to big.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] michaelkahl:
Today I called otterbox because my case also has a loose fit. I realized this after removing the Phantom Skinz screen protector. Otterbox says that this is not intended and are sending me a replacement. The item is on back-order, hopefully the next batch don't have this issue.

In the mean time I've stuffed my case with two pieces of paper and it's fits much better. I didn't fold them, just placed them on the back side.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] athenslb57:
I received my replacement case today and the fit is just as bad as the original. I called in to let them know and she said that was the first she had heard of it. We shall see what happens next.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Wynnded:
....And I can't even get one having ordered over a week ago....sigh....
[Droid Incredible Accessories] shoman24v:
You guys drop your phones a lot?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Wynnded:
A lot? No. But it only takes one.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] shoman24v:
I agree, dropping one can cause some good damage if naked, but my Seidio case has served me well. But I dunno if I want to double or near triple the thickness of my phone for a drop that may or may not happen.

It's just really hard to justify a case that looks like it's made for off road racing.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] michaelkahl:
Sorry to say that I got mine today and I'm not sure I want it any more. After reading that others have received phones with the same issue, replacements have had the same issue, my belt clip broke exactly 1 week after I got the phone, and I feel that I waited this long for a product still in development :(
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Wynnded:
Dang....if mine is all rattly I may just have to drive my lazy arse down there and shake it under their nose.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] michaelkahl:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dusf-gsSvB0

So yeah, long story short...the replacement rattles as well. Hit the video above for more info.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Wynnded:
I got mine yesterday, Friday. Rattles ever so slightly if I shake it really hard. I have a Steinheil screen protector on it. I kind of wanted to remove it as it has a "lift" along one edge but I suspect that it may make the fit worse. So it stays until/if it becomes too much for me. It seems to me that lint and crap are getting in through the optical trackpad hole. The case feels like it doubles the thickness of the device, but none of these things are really bothering me this morning. So, there it is.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] setexascustoms:
Y'all should check out the Seidio Rugged, just by looking at it I thought it was a better design than the Otterbox. Now reading this thread it's the hands down winner, IMHO. I've had mine since it was released in July, and it hasn't faultered. Plus if you don't think you need the protection, or you need it slimmer for whatever reason you have the option to run just the inner Innocase, which is a great product in it's own right. Again, just my 2 cents.:D
[Droid Incredible Accessories] athenslb57:
I am sending my case back to Otterbox and getting a refund. They took 6 months to get this case to market and it was a FAIL. I went back to my Seidio Innocase.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] michaelkahl:
Good luck,i understand why you wouldn't be happy. I simply modified my first defective case by removing the screen protector and like it better, but I still have to use the business card for a tight fit.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Grizzld:
I prefer the Seidio Innocase II with a BestSkinsEver/Invisible Shield/etc.

Has anyone tried the Otterbox Commuter series? I had one for my BlackBerry and loved it.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Nasty316:
I have the otter box case and I have no issues fits the phone perfect no sliding. Didn't add any real size to the phone it is just right now. I really enjoy it. Plus I bought it using my coinstar amazon gift card. I had alot of change. Only real problem I have is the screen protector got dust on one side when I installed it. But I have to say the innocase looks sick too.
[Omnia 7 General] chex13:
(why is there no omnia 7 forum?)

I've just been told by t-mobile that the Omnia 7 has QC issues and their deliveries yesterday were returned to their suppliers, anyone know what these might be?
[Omnia 7 General] evilangelic:
I just picked one up today from Orange!.. I wonder if mine is affected

I heard from vodafone store that their delivery of LG Optimus (Win7) came in and had to be recalled immediately without sale due to a bluetooth issue.
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
The build quality of the Omnia is one of the things that worries me after reports like this and the issues with the Galaxy series.

Evilanglic, since you now have your hands on one, what are your impressions of the device? Does it seem solid?
[Omnia 7 General] evilangelic:
Much more solid than I was expecting. I thought it would feel like a light plastic shell like the Samsung Galaxy S.

It really is very nice, no creaks, just a solid slab of deep black technology! Good times.

The back is actually wrapped in metal to the edge of the screen on the sides, it is only the top and bottom of the device which are solid plastic sort-of-cap/ends of the device.

You definitely can't call it a unibody (or can you?..) but as I say... sort of mostly 'wrapped' in a sheet of metal.

It was a close call between the (SAMOLED) Omnia and the (very nice crisp LCD) HTC Mozart, the latter fits the hand better of course due to size, but in the end the slick all black face of the Omnia, adorned with its high contrast SAMOLED screen, just made it worth it despite the low actual PPI!

It would have been nice if the rockers and camera buttons where more metallic or... metal, but instead they are old school black plastic. They work well nonetheless.

The home button is also not the most premium of push switches (compared to iPhone of course) but it is nice to have a soild key!

I would urge you to get both of these devices side by side in the store if you can, but be careful because it took me at least 20 minutes to tell the man which one I wanted to take out lol...

Here are a few pics of the construction as links:
[Omnia 7 General] ryotgz:
I'm jealous. I have about 2 weeks before WP7 comes out in the US. That and you guys got the better selection of phones (minus Micro SD expansion). I am definitely getting the Focus though. Best choice out of the options available in my opinion.
[Omnia 7 General] evilangelic:
It's very un-Microsoft!
[Omnia 7 General] ericc191:
Yeah. I wont touch a single Samsung phone after the trouble the Vibrant gave my stepmom. It's not fun trying to give tech support to someone 1500 miles away, over the phone with the issues, to a lady with no clue about technology.

EDIT: It reminded me of the time I had to help someone with Windows ME. They didn't know where the "desktop" was! As you can imagine, that was a loooooong phone call.
