[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AssassinSvK:
this SOD is HW problem for sure, i receive my desire from repair center few days ago, replaced motherboard and some another stuff, the report from repair just verify that selfrebooting and SOD problem 3g/gsm was caused from faulty mobo,

now everything works like charm, new mobo and my desire is 100% ok

no problems now, so gouys with SOD, dont hesitate and sent your desire to repair, you have fully right to do that, in description you need to also include this -

phone automaticly reboots after heavy usage very often, 15-20 times per day, and also SOD problem when network changes from 3g to gsm etc

they replace your mobo and problem will be fixed...

no radio, no rom solve this SOD, this is HW related

edit - the basic desciption of the problem is very VERY important, you need to describe exactly how this problem occures and how much per day, in my desire was changed more things, not just mobo, speake,microphone and some 2 parts that i dont understand, one is similiar to network receiver or athena :confused: dont know exactly just something like that,
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stamgastje:
Good that it's solved for you!

Sending it back stating that it has reboot problems, would be fraud...

So theoretically speaking it could also be a problem with other HW than the mobo.

This seems to suggest that changing the mobo is not a guarantee that the problem will be fixed.

Anyhow, a small status update from my side: I haven't experienced another SOD anymore last week. Yesterday, I updated my phone to InsertCoint v1.1.0 and this morning I visited the supermarket - in which the 3G signal strength is so low that the phone will switch back to 2G - again. Fortunately, the phone behaved well. ;)

This evening I received a new SIM card from my provider, so let's see whether it's solved now. If it is not solved, I can exclude the SW and the SIM as cause. If it's fixed, it's either the SW or the SIM. :-)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stamgastje:
Today I had a SOD again when visiting the supermarket. I connected to the phone via adb and looked at the system log (adb logcat), but I did not find anything useful.

I did find this issue on the web, which might be somehow related:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2207

Anyway, I am going to return the phone to HTC for a repair (under guarantee)... although I hate to lose my phone for some time again!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ichimongo-ji:
i posted earlier about everything i've tried. I've now added insertcoin to the list, but no luck.

Waiting to see if stamgastje gets his phone back and working.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stamgastje:
My phone was picked up only a few days ago, so I guess it will take another 1 to 2 weeks before I have my phone back. After that, I can test to see whether the problem has disappeared and I will certainly report my findings in this thread. But as said, it can take a few weeks.

Update: I finally have my phone back... (Sep. 17th), will let you know whether the problem is resolved by replacing the mainboard.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stamgastje:
Unfortunately, the problem is back, although in a slightly different form now. The screen is still on (no standby) but the whole UI hangs. The system log is still accessible when this happens (via adb logcat). I experienced this a number of times in the first week that I had my phone back. Since then, I disabled 2G again and the problem is gone. So the root cause is definitely the same.

Conclusion: swapping the main board has not solved the problem.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ichimongo-ji:
damn, its not been solved? I'm thinking of giving up now and going for a samsung S2 instead.

so its nothing to do with the main board. thats interesting because i was thinking about getting one of ebay and seeing if that works. in the meantime i;ve been using my old sony ericsson which is starting to slowly die now...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stamgastje:
No, it hasn't been solved unfortunately; I'm still stuck to using 3G only. And therefore I am also thinking of switching to another phone (Nexus Prime probably). Not an HTC anymore, that's for sure.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ichimongo-ji:
Well, i sent mine to HTC last month....it came back as the engineers found it was water damaged. and thats it. it was beyond economic repair so they could only send it back. It still works fine apart from the annoying standby issue.

i'm fine with getting a new phone, i'm just bummed the best from htc and samsung are all 4inch plus screens. why cant we get something smaller but same performance as the sensation or galaxy2, or new google phone

Is it worth paying the $2.99 for launcher pro plus? What are the perks of it? what do you guys think if it?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master™:
If you want to resize widgets then yeah, otherwise no
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick1217:
I actually like lp+ more then regular launcher pro.. Resizing widgets comes in handy and you get to use all the scrollable widgets that lp comes with..

Thats all you get but for $3 who cares
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seandavidfebre:
Check out there website http://www.launcherpro.com/forum/

there's a lot more you can do on plus like popular from the dock bar for unread texts and missed calls. ..its pretty cool..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaverick50:
i bought it but i never use it. you get a lot of sense-like widgets which is very cool. I think the widgets, the look of the dock and how smooth the launcher is are the main features. Lots of customizations too of course...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chalup:
I would to support the development.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr2t32:
if you use widgets, it will be worth it. Otherwise, stay with the free. I personally like the widget, so it was worth it for me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kubernetes:
THis.

Also, the cost was worth not having that popup come up every time I miss-click on a widget.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smoog:
this as well. its only 3 bucks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdveteran18:

[Fascinate Accessories] billybob817:
I use the Verizon stock rubberized holster case. It has two parts. One is a holster that clips on your belt, and the second part is a rubberized "back" that clips onto the back of the phone. This makes it impossible to fit in the Samsung Car Dock without having to take this back off every time I get into the car, which is a PITA.

Has anyone found a solution for a Car Dock and Belt Clip that isn't a PITA? I'd settle for just a universal cell phone mount that would hold my Fascinate in a landscape orientation and then just manually plug in my good ol' car charger.
[Fascinate Accessories] Andre Mermegas:
I picked up this one, its quite good in my opinion.

amazon dot com`/gp/product/B0042BWBSC/ref=oss_product
[Fascinate Accessories] eleazar123:
I'm in a similar situation. Until Seidio releases their no skin holster, I'll be using this in my car: http://www.proclipusa.com/brodit-de...ces-with-or-without-a-skin-875214A-13978.aspx. It's pricy for your first phone, but I've used that exact holster and the same mount for 3+ years (initially cost me $70). Well worth the investment in my opinion. Proclip is also releasing a custom holster for the Fascinate just like they have for the Vibrant and Captivate. (see my e-mail below). Also, I know you want something that can go landscape. This holster can definitely go landscape, you just have to make sure you adjust the holster to be a really snug fit and it'll work no problem (the holster can swivel 360 degrees around).

I received the above e-mail on September 20th, so I'd imagine they should be ready soon! :)

Edit: Forgot to mention... What makes this setup so great is that you never have to buy a new mount, you can just buy a new holster for whatever phone/device you buy next. The mount is custom made for your specific car. If you can't tell, I love proclip's products lol. I bought a setup for my wife's iPhone as soon as I realized how convenient and safe it is (it mounts right up by the steering wheel in her '07 civic).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prabhat:
Windows mobile has only one lock (PIN lock) for entire phone. But I have seen some Samsung mobile (may be Star) that has feature to lock SMS, Contact, Call history and also the complete phone lock too.

For windows mobile do we have such great tool out somewhere?

Thanks.

[Epic 4G General] xyexz:
I'm currently running Epic Experience latest version with Mixup kernel latest version but my baseband is still S:D700.0.5S.DG27 and I've read around to see how I can upgrade the baseband without hurting my current rom/kernel installation (minus the upgrade install some various apps).

I've found this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=797090

That link describes upgrading to DI18 from DI07, but as previously stated I'm on DG27 so what I want to know is if I use the files from that above link will that work or do I need to apply the updates in the specific order?

If I have to follow the specific order, could someone provide me a link like the one I've pasted above but for DG27 to DI07?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] Deleted member 2173701:
Make a nandroid backup through Clockwork Mod, then the easiest way is to use odin to flash DI18, reflash your rom and let it boot. go into clockwork recovery, backup and restore, advanced restore, choose the correct date, then restore only the data. should get you fixed up.
[Epic 4G General] amosher13:
Yup, since your kernel is based off the DI18 source you can jsut apply this zip to update your modem/radio (baseband) to DI18 as well. this will mostly give you better upload speeds

EDIT: no offense newkidd but thats WAY more work than he needs to do. he's already running a custom ROM and has a DI18 based kernel. the link in my post is for people with non stock files, so he doesnt need to go back to stock to use it.

i do second making a backup in clockworkmod before applying any zip, but then flash away and you'll see baseband go to DI18
[Epic 4G General] xyexz:
Awesome thanks a ton... ill try the custom non-stock zip after a quick nandroid and if that doesn't work ill do the newkidd method :D. Ill mark thread resolved once I try this after I'm off of work.
[Epic 4G General] xyexz:
So that link is broken... anyway I could get a hand on finding the proper link?
[Epic 4G General] amosher13:
i had downloaded it so i'll post it here, flash this in recovery and it will ONLY update your modem/baseband to Di18, wont touch kernel or ROM or root. good luck
[Epic 4G General] xyexz:
So I tried this update and it totally f'd my phone lol

For some reason my nandroid doesn't fix it either so here I go down the rabbit hole with odin :D

Just going to flash back to stock, update and then re-root and flash EE back again, wonderful way to spend my saturday.
[Epic 4G General] xyexz:
Ended up doing your method newkidd, thanks!

It is a lot of work but usually things that take more time end up paying off in the long run.

Hello every one, I was wondering if there could be a way to port the swype from the I9000UGJH2 firmware (Bell canada) to any froyo like the JP6 I'm french and the key board isnt the same as the french *france*

In other word... taking any swype from any 2.1 firmware to 2,2

I want the same thing. Something is just bugged with swype on JP6!
[EVO 4G General] beatblaster:
I remember the good ol days when people just dropped by, downloaded some stuff, left nice comments and went about their day. Lately, bout the last month or so, the threads have been filled with "I donated a dollar, I want my ROM" or "can I get an ETA on this?" (which is the rudest question I've ever seen here) or just people arguing or one-upping each other. I fear we're losing the community-based friendliness of this site as the days go along. :(

As we can see, a few devs have had enough and already left. How much longer is everyone gonna keep this up? It's like I visited XDA one day and it turned into an AOL n00b forum. It sucks. I want the old XDA back where people didn't cry about CM missing deadlines (they just visited again later and if a new CM was up they were happy, if not they just came back later), people didn't complain about Damageless losing his job and having to focus on his life instead of ours, people simply enjoyed what was available instead of hounding devs about when stuff is coming out.... I must say it'll be released when it's released! :)

I just don't understand what's so difficult about giving those who give us the time of our lives time to breathe and enjoy their lives too. It shouldn't matter whether a "donation" of a $1 or $1000 is made - the devs (and some of the senior members, shucks, even like me) deserve a lot more respect than what's going around lately. At the end of the day, I just don't want to suffer for following the rules when others decide to wreck it for the rest of us. :mad:

Anyway, I just had to rant. I still <3 XDA and always will. This place really has changed my life forever. ;)
[EVO 4G General] the noan:

[EVO 4G General] P_Dub_S:
I have seen this before with Forums as the user-base grows and popularity increases, which Android brought many non technical users into the smartphone era, your impatient/arrogant/immature user-base grows as well and since they are still learning how things work but want it now since this is the era of entitlement your gonna get alot of asshats wanting there ROM now or there FIX now. It sucks but It happens.
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
One thing about XDA is its never been that user friendly or at least as long as I have been here. Seems like a few people come here just to be assholes. They know everything and even if you agree with them they will still act like dicks. With that said I try to stay out of those situations. Sit back in my thread and sometime comment on topics. Sorry but its true.

Try it, post something in the wrong thread by accident and see what happens.
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
This. The Evo was the first time that an android device really blew up with the non-technical crowd, and of course XDA has a reputation, so all of the new users came here. Unfortunanly, they don't really understand what it means to be a member of a development community though, and look at XDA like it's just another smartphone forum.

This is true, but back then people just took it in stride. Also, people have gotten a lot less militant about posting in the wrong threads. Back in june/july though, it was rough. And god forbid you didn't search first... :)
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
I lightened up my statement a bit.. its not a lot just a select few.

[EVO 4G General] bluefire808:
P_dub_S has it right. the market just expanded so much for androids. its like when blackberry came out with the Pearl and every teenage girl had one lol... most of the new phones arnt owned by tech people. hopefully in the fallowing months they will calm down. stil think the best forum was the xda section for the eris :) im just happy to have a phone lol so dont mind me
[EVO 4G General] ms79723:
Most people just don't see how hard it is to make some of this stuff work. People must think that making roms/themes/kernels is just a bunch of copying and pasting or something...one thing that bugs the living hell out of me is on those Desire HD port threads...if the OP doesn't respond in 3 days, they just bump it saying something like "Well...I guess this is dead..." Devs ain't robots, something wrong with these people...
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
Exactly. What people don't understand is this is a hobby. We are not making a living doing this, and I do not get paid for this. Yes its true that we do receive donations but not NEARLY as many as I think people assume.
[EVO 4G General] phistyle:
imho...these forums which used to be filled with great developers turned into a forums filled with the developers wanting compensation or in prettier words "beer money" for their time and effort instead of "joy and fun" or "hobby" of making roms and is slowly becoming more "pay-to-play" and if you don't pay, they take their business elsewhere to their own "pay-to-play" forums....just my own observation going from windows mobile development to android....
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
Not doubting you, but I'm curious (because I don't frequent other forums, or noticed anyone leaving), who took their "business" elsewhere, and where did they take it? I haven't really seen that - those donation links in the sigs have been around forever...
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
He is correct I have seen a few developers take their ROMs elsewhere (create their own website) but I'm not sure it was about money. I have donated to a few chiefs because I understand the time that goes into making these ROMs. Its time I could be spending with my kids. People seems to feel chiefs are obligated to do this for some reason. I do it because I like it not because I want to get paid. I get paid at work. When people complain at you all the time it turns it into work and then it isn't fun anymore.

Screw all of you....I payed my turkey sandwich and a hooker! I want my damn daily updates with a rom so spectacular that it will make me a full course meal.

Of course im playing but i cant help but agree with you. I find that i spend more time sorting through "non searchers" than anything else. I hope to see this calm down over the next year. Good thing about this is that people will only get smarter and simmer down....My car forums(g35driver.com) is getting worse as the car gets cheaper. More kids and ridiculousness.
[EVO 4G General] phistyle:
that's where you are wrong...sure "some" people may get smarter, but for every person that gets smarter, 5 more noobs are sure to follow...
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
noobs aren't the problem everyone starts somewhere. Hopefully as we all get smarter and will help the noobs instead of just telling them their post is in the wrong thread.

And with that said its time to leave this thread its about to turn ugly in here I can just feel it...

We live in a society where consumers expect instant gratification. They also have come to expect everything for little or nothing. These are just my observations from the business world, but they hold true here as well.

[EVO 4G General] dglowe343:
I've noticed this too. This forum got pretty hostile for a bit but it seems to have cooled down some. It seems to me this phone has developed the largest following of Android phones yet. Along with XDA being the largest smartphone forum, there's gonna be people wanting to be spoonfed info, expecting everything for nothing, and just wanting to cause drama. The best thing I've learned over the last few months about proper forum etiquette is to simply ignore the posts that bother you and report the inappropriate ones. Though I admit, its not always easy to do. For the most part, we're all here for the same reason and should be able to get along and learn from and help eachother. Useless drama is for reality tv.
