[Legend General] Gavincol78:
After spending some time with a HTC Magic and changing to custom firmwares so I do have some experience with changing firmware etc. But recently I got a Vodafone HTC Legend and I want to debrand it I came across instructions on how to do it but I wanted to know a bit more about the HBOOT, Radio versions etc so I have got my handset details at hand if someone could give me a hand please

HBOOT Details

LEGEND UNKNOWN SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.43.001

MICROP-0016

TOUCH PANEL-SYN07_0103

RADIO-7.08.35.21

Software Info

Firmware - 2.1-update1

Baseband - 47.39.35.09U_7.08.35.21

Kernel - 2.6.29-5f084974

build number - 2.05.161.1 CL191838 release-keys

Software - 2.05.161.1

Browser - WebKit 3.1

I wa planning on debranding to a non-vodafone Legend software as the Vodafone software has a bug with the SMS where it always shows the old messages first and have to scroll to the end.

I have downloaded the following stock RUU ROMs and wanted to know which one to use for here in the UK

RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_47.39.35.09_7.08.35.21_release_130330_signed.exe

RUU_Legend_hTC_Asia_HK_CHT_2.06.708.2_Radio_47.39.35.09_7.08.35.21_release_136396_signed.exe
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_47.39.35.09_7. 08.35.21_release_130330_signed.exe

That one

Or root and use CM. :D
[Legend General] bg999:
That issue with the SMS is really annoying. I am with Vodafone aswell. Is debranding the only way to resolve it?
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
That or downgrade the Vodafone branded ROM. It's the same process, just use a different RUU...
[Legend General] Gavincol78:
Just to say I did go and change my ROM from te vodafone branded one to this HTC one, I didn't want to root and try different ROMs as I got myself in a bit of a loop when I had the Magic and couldn't find a stable enough ROM that did what I wanted.

The method I used was

1, create goldcard

2, downgraded to 1.31.405.5

3, upgraded to RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_47.39.35.09_7. 08.35.21_release_130330_signed.exe

and now I have the a great ROM without any Vodafone adjustments and NO Vodafone SMS issues.
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
The SMS bug wasn't introduced by Vodafone, it was HTC. Also, you could've gone straight from whatever ROM you had to RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_47.39.35.09_7. 08.35.21_release_130330_signed.exe. No need for the 1.31 version in the middle. :D
[Legend General] Gavincol78:
I was just following the instructions found on here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=671520 but yes looking back I might of been able to just use the 2.03.405.3 RRU but I had read elsewhere that because I was already on a 2.x ROM I had to downgrade first
[Legend General] nutunited:
Only need the downgrade if you want to root :)

Swyped from my HTC Legend using XDA App
[Legend General] Gavincol78:
I had read the following quote from another thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=671520&page=8

as because a few previous members experienced issues when transferring from 1 ROM to another I took the longer and safest route but reading the end of that thread it does look like it is possible to of flashed directly though but I am glad I took the safest route :D
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
You did what I'd have done. It's only in retrospect we see the shortcuts. It's what learning is. You did the right thing. ;)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapax:
I've notice a slight issue with my Tab. Sometimes, when it's been left sleeping for a while it 'forgets' to go back to wifi and stays on 3G connectivity, even though I'm sitting right next to the wlan router. If I check the wifi settings, the network is listed as 'out of range'. If I turn off wifi and then back on again, it connects without any trouble.

Has anyone else noticed this behaviour?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftgg99:
This is most certainly a router issue. The simplest fix is to reserve ip up for the tab and use fixed up settings.

I do this with all my LAN devices anyway because it adds a little security, as well as better interconnectivity.

But really you should investigate the router.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapax:
Somehow I doubt that. I'm using DD-WRT running on the classic LinkSys WRT54G, a combo that is widely famed for it reliability. I also have the router set up to serve a fixed IP to the Galaxy Tab, determined by the MAC address of the Tabs wireless interface.

I'm also running quite a few other wifi devices with the router, including three other android devices (G1, milestone, nook), and none of them show the same behavior.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftgg99:
I see... how many of your other devices use a dual band revision n radio? In my experience this can be a headache, even for custom firmware.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapax:
None, as far as I know. I'm not entirely sure about my wifes Motorola Milestone, but I'm pretty sure the G1 and the nook use bog standard 802.11g. I think you're right that this might be the problem. Any ideas how to improve that? It's not really a problem, just a slight blemish on the otherwise awesome experience.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khisha:
This is well known android behavior making wi-fi sleep to preserver battery.

There are some mods to keep it on when sleeping.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapax:
Yes, and there's nothing wrong with that. I certainly don't want wifi on all the time, I just want it to reconnect when it wakes up.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftgg99:
Ill look into your router tomorrow, but atm I'd say there wont be much you can do other than force g only on the router. This will stop the tab from sending crc/ plcp overhead on both bands. Crazy as it sounds, the tabs radio is actually interfering with itself in this scenario.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spirous:
I just replaced my HTC HD2 with the Samsung Galaxy Tab and have the exact same problem. The HD easily picked up my work and home WiFi when I moved between them, but the Tab 'forgets' to reconnect after standby.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elorimer:
I'm having this problem too. Every morning I need to turn off the wifi, then immediately turn it back on, before it will reconnect. This is with an Asus WL520GC running DD-WRT.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alt236:
Yes, seems to be a router/device compatibility issue.

My tab works fine in my uni network (and it has quite a few dark spots), all of my friend's networks but it intermittingly fails to reconnect to my home wlan. I have a sky router (sagem actually).
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbregman:
I have seen this on various routers before and encountered it again last night.

There is a discussion on the cause here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=839367&highlight=connect+wifi&page=3

It is due to the lease expiring from the access point and the device requesting the old IP with first sending a discovery message.

One work around - not the best - is to reboot the router. Then the Tab seems able to connect. Also I think if you connect ofter to the router you might not see this as the device will ask for a new lease.

Another - from the above referenced post - is to create a DHCP reservation for the Tab. This will ensure it gets the same IP address every time. I made this change to my router - so we will see.

Hope this helps.

Samsung Galaxy tab won't connect to WEP wireless

I am trying to get my Galaxy tab to connect to my HTC HD2 that is set up as a wi-fi hotspot.

My galaxy tab will connect to all WPA/WP2 networks but not the WEP. Please help.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dieno1001:
mine does the same on a SMC Gateway (SMC8014WN) aswell as a D-Link Router (DIR-665) :confused:
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peare:
I am going nuts here because of the same problem. Tab worked flawlessly for the last 4 months, found any router and had no wifi problems until recently. I have a D-Link DGL-4500 gaming router, and my dsl modem router also has a wifi connection. I suspect from the new firmware. Mine is a Euro model. I dont know why I upgraded from JK5 to JMG stock firmware, and wifi issues started. D-link's logs reports that it receives a deauth from the device and the connection ends... and never revives. Sometimes it happens 3-4 times in an hour, sometimes it stays connected for hours. I tried everything, static IP, delete dhcp list, etc. I have reset the device twice to factory defaults. Even then it disconnected the first minute I turned it on and set the wifi. So it should be a firmware issue. I realize that the wifi signal is also weaker now compared to the previous firmware. Congrats SAMSUNG! The Tab is consuming my data plan even when I am home. And I wonder how wifi only Tab is going to handle this problem. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF WE CAN DOWNGRADE FROM JMG?? Help is appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sef_P1000:
my tab does the same thing (so does my x10). But when I open my browser, or anything that needs wifi, it reconnects automatically, however the browser usually needs to be refreshed (retry).
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoxFulder_CH:
exactly the same behaviour. Every morning, I'm connected to my router but nothing works. Turn-OFF->ON and it works again
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peare:
I should have noticed Roto's entering line. See: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=939360.

[Click Android Development] BmwStreetRacer:
Hi!

There are do good developers here, could anyone take a quick look at Azuza ROM and see if there's a quick fix to the wireless problem?

I love the ROM it's 99% perfect for the tatoo but it's missing the finishing touch.

Please take a look at it :)

Thank's
[Desire HD General] s32bauer:
Hi everyone,

I'm in a spot of bother, and really hoping someone can help to give some advice. This is my first Android phone, as you can probably guess, and I've been noticing some issues.

1) The first thing was the Martket not downloading, however after following some advice on forums it seems to be working okay now.

2) Today I've noticed that some applications are crashing. It's not the same ones, so far it's happened with Market, the internet browser, even some battery gauge which I installed. I don't have a note of the exact error message, but it always says it's encountered a problem with 'com.android.......' and needs to close, and then I have to click force close.

3) It's asked me to download an OTA update for the phone, but I've read mixed reactions on it. I don't have any issues with the proximity sensor, but I've read a few people have had the problem arise SINCE they installed the update. Would you recommend that I install it, or leave it?

4) The main issue that's concerning me at the moment is an issue with the memory card. I've had a few occasions where it's come up saying 'memory card unexpectedly removed'. I've checked the cover to make sure it's on and the memory card was in. At first, removing it and reinserting it, or restarting the phone fixed it. However, this evening it's not. If I put the memory card in the phone, it says it's preparing it, and whenever I access anything that needs the memory card, such as the camera, it comes up saying it's been removed.

I've tried the card that come with the phone, and that seems to work. However, I'm worried for two reasons a) I need to copy all my pics, music, etc from my old memory card to the new one that come with the phone, and I'm worried in case it might be something on there that has interferred with it. b) I'm worried that the phone might have damaged the memory card in some way, as I now can't even get my PC to access it.

If anyone has any suggestions or advice, I'd really appreciate it.
[Desire HD General] Tsirides:
I have read similar problems with people changing the SD card before first use. It seems there are some system files on the SD. I recommend copying all data from the original SD card to the new one and then checking to see if you have the same problem.

I have updated my DHD over the air and it works fine

to change background for start menu -> goto settings, home, appearance, then browse for whatever back ground u want to use.

to change taskbar and softkey bar goto set wallpaper when u press menu. scroll towards bottom and u will see options to change soft key bar and taskbar.

[G2 and Desire Z General] janus zeal:
Can someone explain why typing st.op into Messenging and Andchat locks up the phone? Both times it was on a line by its self, so idk if that's a requirement. I don't want to test while writing a thread though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] papeshfoo:
Doesn't lock mine up...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jacobmowry:
I just tried it and I didn't freeze.
[G2 and Desire Z General] janus zeal:
It looks like typing stop anywhere hard locks up the phone. Even to the point of system sound effects and ui animations stopping half way. I'm not making this up lol.
[G2 and Desire Z General] janus zeal:
It's almost acting like the old G1 with its root terminal capturing all keystrokes thing. Clearly this is different, but, ...
[G2 and Desire Z General] adrake400:
Ok I've had this same thing happen to me it sounds like a door hinge or something? I can't remember if it happened while typing stop (didn't happen now lol) but i have had this happen to me about 4-5 times
[G2 and Desire Z General] janus zeal:
door hinge? Nothing is moving though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] keenerb:
The internal "stop" command unloads the java and GUI components and will leave you screen frozen if typed in a terminal with root access.

Very amusing, if that's what happens.

"start" would theoretically restart the GUI.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jmiller0526:
stop + enter in messaging app kills my phone too....wow thats not a great "feature".

just closed the keyboard and the phone rebooted (i typed start but it didnt do anything)

and i just did it again and it did the same thing

it only seems to do this with the physical keyboard tho it didnt do anything when using the HTC_IME
[G2 and Desire Z General] xdviper:
Yep, I used the physical keyboard and had the HTC IME enabled, it didn't work but I switched over to the default android keyboard and typed stop into the messaging app and it froze. Hahaha Great find!

Maybe we can use this as a exploit?

[G2 and Desire Z General] adp21:
I have a completely crazy thought. So pls don't flame/ lynch

What if the phone is already rooted? Someone in the thread said that once ur rooted, going into the terminal as su and typing stop kills all the internal processess and freezes the phone

Has anyoen tried to load a custom rom onto the g2? Not the desire z rom, not some t-mo one. A custom one...

I mean we have all been tunnel visioned on assuming that all the subsidized phones come unrooted but what if the nand lockdown requires the phone to be rooted at all times??

Maybe a fresh/ crazy out of the box approach can help...
[G2 and Desire Z General] xencor:
Good theory, but unfortunately it doesn't really help us get custom ROMs at all.

We already have root. Getting root isn't a problem (see: VISIONary). The problem, afaik, is that nobody has found a way to get past the NAND lock, which prevents flashing anything without a heavily-encrypted key to sign the ROM with.
[G2 and Desire Z General] shinkinrui:
Wow, it's for real. And it's not just in messaging. I just confirmed that it works from the home screen(so search automatically opens up) AND from the market. It looks like it's from anywhere. Type "stop" and press enter, and phone freezes. Phone stays frozen until you pull battery OR until you type "start" and press enter(wait 2 seconds and phone reboots). This is crazy, man. Some way this can be used? Maybe we should try some other useful linux commands??

EDIT: Okay, well not from anywhere per se, but anywhere where keyboard input is being accepted. If this stops everything EXCEPT the kernel, is there a way this can be used to assist with perm root? Forgive me if I'm talking out my ass.

DOUBLE EDIT: Just so you guys know, I haven't modified the phone in any way, either. Completely stock.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rhcp011235:
no freeze here.
[G2 and Desire Z General] shinkinrui:
Did you press enter after you typed "stop"? Did you type anything else before "stop?" Did you use the hardware keyboard?

Hi dear,

I bought my great HTC HD2 for T-Mobile a week ago.

I'm using Android as a daily OS.

It's quite cool and smooth. Actually, it's faster than my old phone, galaxy s.

By the way, I'm wondering if my HD2 will be able to get Windows Phone 7 OS.

Although it will not be official version, will it be possible to be released custom rom?

Please let me know about it. To be honest, I'm really enjoying with Android but

I just want to try New OS.

I have used BlackBerry Bold 9700, Samsung Omnia 2, Nokia N900, Galaxy s and HD2 which will be my destination.lol (ah, ipod touch as well..-_-)

Each OS has totally different system so I've been very exciting using OSes.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TrevorMcCauley:
So quick question XDA. I noticed on my HD2 running FroyoStone 3.2 the pixel quality is bad...I wouldn't even say "pixel" cause its just the textures on some things. I took a screenshot of my phone to show you what im talking about but it showed up better quality then it actually is... Confusing right? Well take a look.

Screenshot

The shaded black part behind "Speak now" is actually good quality when i took a screen shot...even though thats not what I see?

This picture was taking with my camera

This is what I see, Notice how the shading or the black part behind where it says "Speak now" is really bad quality.

Thats not the only thing that has bad quality. When I receive picture messages all the pictures are really bad quality. Also the pictures set for each one my contacts are bad quality. Is this something I can fix? Please and thank you.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TrevorMcCauley:
No no no. You don't understand lol.

Look

Compare the two images. The first one is what i see on my phone when i use it. The second picture is what it should look like.

Also I took the first picture with my moms phone, i sent it to my HD2 without changing the file size. When I received it on my phone it was sent as a 4 KB file and which is a really small size. It does this to EVERY picture I receive. Yet its only when im running android (FroyoStone 3.2)

For example...

This is the actual pic that I took with my moms phone and sent it to my phone. This is

195.5 KB

This is what I received.

Its only

4 KB

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] boss.king:
I think I worked out what you're saying OP. I just checked mine and it's exactly the same. It's probably due to the 65k colour screen as opposed to 16million colour screens most phones have these days. It's nothing to worry about.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TrevorMcCauley:
Okay well is there a way to fix the file size, cause every picture i receive is really small and blurry.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sumflipnol:
That's what we think. I don't think anybody has been able to prove/disprove that the HD2's screen is only capable of 65k colors; it could just be a WM limitation, and the devs have yet to 'unlock' the 16mil colors using Android. (Of course, I could be wrong, but like I said there's no proof.)

The problem is the color gradient -- it's easy to detect the low quality of the images due to the gray gradient.

Concerning the MMS sizing, I think I encountered a fix for that, but I haven't tried it. I can't help you look for it now because the sub-forum search is down.:o
