[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
yeah i agree i bought a monitor once and it had 1 stuck yellow pixel it didnt qualify as a defect because there was only 1 but it annoyed me so much i kept complaining and kicking up a stink from where i bought it till they eventually replaced it. imo if you got it from a store go down and complain it would def annoy me
[Desire HD General] Crazy CS:
Cant really do much as im in australia and imported from the UK. Ill probably just pay to get the screen replaced. Just wanted to know if any others experienced the same issue with the

DHD.
[Desire HD General] bananos:
i have the same issue:(
[Desire HD General] Tezray:
I have it not always noticeable but i know its there. Also have a bit of defect in the plastic screen at the top left corner same thing really I just get on with it. I'll probably drop it in the sink at some point and get a new one from insurance or it will get broken at some point anyway with such a big screen
[Off-topic] nxtwrld:
I have been wondering what kind of setup for home networking and media access people use, as they have been trying to build one of my own and I would interested in other ideas on how to improve it or what alternatives people are using.

This is what I came up so far:

Router: Linksys WRT320N

WiFi, Local Network

DynDNS to have fixed address for dynamic IP

Central Storage / Media server: QNAP 219p

runs Samba/NFS shares,

UPnP server

Download station (http/torrent)

controlled through web interface

bonus: low power consumption

Media Player: TV + WD TV Live Box.

WD TV has DLNA, UPnP connectivity and can access network shares.

WD can also be flashed for custom firmware WDLXTV, that has a few extra options like streaming apple trailers, Revision 5, etc right to your TV.

Media Player: Ubuntu PC + notebook/Windows Notebook.

automount several shares from QNAP

runs XBMC to access QNAP UPnP for media streaming

Mobile: Desire HD

Qmobile to stream my QNAP media (wifi or 3g) - it is developed by QNAP themselved, but they still have a lot of room for improvement.

PCFileSync - I have setup a special share on QNAP, that syncs with my Android device with PCFileSync. The app itself is launched by Tasker whenever the phone connects to my home SSID. Unfortunatelly it does not autokill, once I leave my network, as Kill does not work on Froyo. (I am hoping for PCFileSync tasker plugin)

The phone can see the WD TV DLNA service and I can stream any video from the phone right to my WD TV as long as the HTC media player can play it (this is somewhat limiting to mp4 I guess)

Tasker to check location, turn wifi on/off and connect me to my home server

Astro file manager to access samba shares

TwonkyMedia Server to create another UPnP server from my phone, but desires DLNA now took over the Twonky functions.

Andromote to control UPnP device like WD TV Live - not very reliable for now, cannot really build playlist etc.

TODO list:

Better remote control WD TV Live from Android. Andromote more or less works on a good day, but I am looking for a more reliable alternative. WDLXTV has a Webinterface, so that maybe one way of doing it.

OpenVPN service running on my router. I have a vague idea this should be possible by flashing a custom firmware to the router, but I did not have the courage a time to start fiddling with it. But a lot of media streaming like UPnP work only on local network, so to get it running truly mobile, I guess needs to be done.

X10/Insteon Home Automation - still exploring what kind of solution to choose. X10 with Heyu linux libraries should run on QNAP as it runs linux itself, but I cannot find the CM11E module on sale anywhere and the newer CM15Pro does not seem to work with linux. And I do not really want to set up another home server. Any tips or suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks for you tips and suggestions.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] HunteronX:
Go to this website from your phone, and install the apk that is downloaded:

m.sonyericsson.com/backup

It can now backup some extra things.

P.S. I'm not sure when it was released though.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] zm4:
Not sure if it is different...

Seems the same.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] hush66:
Prior to performing the above update, I notice under "Manage Applications", that the version of the Backup and Restore app was "version 4". After the update, it was "version 10115".

After the update, the new items you can backup are:

(1) PlayNow (applications downloaded from PlayNow)

(2) Market Applications (applications downloaded from Android Market)

But I also noticed that the updated Backup and Restore app will now always try to auto-start, even after I kill it using a Task Manager. And as soon as I kill it, it will restart my connections (as if I was switching on and off Flight mode).

I have since uninstalled the update.

Hi guys. I just a have a problem with my display. Saturday I kind of droped down my phone (face down) and since then I have a spot on my display. I attach you 2 images just to tell your opinion. Is it a display problem that can be solved or do I have to change the screen. I don`t have any problem with my touch screen but it really bothers me that spot.

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Exetion:
Hi everyone!

Is there a fast way to delete system files?

I need some space in my /system folder because i'm trying to add the HTC_CIME (chinese IME) to my phone. It requires about 6MB free space.

Those file managers (like astro) do not let me delete files in the system folder, they give errors when trying to delete them. :(

I've got a HTC Hero that has been "rooted" with the SuperOneClick method. (didn't install a ROM yet)

Tried to google/search on the forum but i didn't find a straightforward answer :p

Thanks a bunch!
[General Questions and Answers] ipeench:
I am well aware that they have a spot on the official website that tells me that it will be 4.99 per minute when I'm on my cruise...

My question is, is there a way to find out when that kicks in? How far off the Florida cost can I get before i start getting charged?
[HD7 General] foaf:
Hi, I have a strange issue. I've tried unlocking my PAYG O2 HD7 on both www.htcimeiunlock.com and www.unlock-now.com and both don't seem to be able to find the IMEI in their database. The message is "Unfortunately we cannot find a code for your Phone/IMEI!". I am certain I am selecting the correct 'UK' and 'O2' settings and have tried typing the IMEI a number of times.

Is anyone aware if this issue is because it's brand new and it resolves itself, or does it mean the phone can never be unlocked?

Thanks for any help
[HD7 General] risq:
If everything is correct, that is very odd.

Just checked the 4 IMEI's of the HD7's I have here and all work fine ;)
[HD7 General] foaf:
Thanks risq, just to see what would happen I tried altering the IMEI code on the www.htcimeiunlock.com and it said "invalid IMEI". So it seems the IMEI I am typing in is 'valid'.

I've seen a few threads on other sites about this with no viable solution, except contacting the Mobile Operator. FYI here they are: thread1, thread 2 and thread 3.

Called O2 and Customer Services rep said she has filled out a form for it to be unlocked (I wonder if it's the same as this form). Did not ask for money for it. Apparently will be done in 7 days. To say I am dubious it will be done is an understatement! She didn't even know that 'HTC' was a phone manufacturer.
[HD7 General] colonel:
this is bad news

I am in same boat

I have requested with unlock-now.com

they have taken my money so I am waiting

HTC update their databases frequently and the unlock providers have to re-sync.

Note that the unlock code is NOT calculated from the IMEI. Its simply a database lookup

hopefully this will not take too long
[HD7 General] foaf:
Just FYI I did the same and got a automatic refund with no problems, so no need to worry about that.

This is what I am hoping! www.htcimeiunlock.com says 'can take 2 days'. Which would be ok.
[HD7 General] risq:
Hopefully you'll get it sorted.

Like I say, it gives me the option for unlock codes on all my handsets with the IMEI Code on the box, selecting united Kingdom and O2 as the operator.

You did check the option hadn't automatically changed on the drop-down. I had that happen a few times which was annoying.

I thought the code was generated by the IMEI, otherwise it would be the same code for each phone would it not?
[HD7 General] colonel:
in the old days unlock codes were formulae based on IMEI number. this was notorious with early nokias which could mostly be unlocked for free

no longer

its simply a lookup on the HTC database

BTW unlock-now.com did refund me

waiting ................
[HD7 General] colonel:
HTCCODE has just told me that database might only be updated in 1-2 weeks

at least they are honest
[HD7 General] avsmithy:
Ditto

"Cannot find a code" for my hd7 :/
[HD7 General] shanssv:
did u buy ur phone online or from the shop?
[HD7 General] colonel:
bought mine online

probably just a new batch

as all the shops are out near me (in central london) I presume their next batch will be the same as online
[HD7 General] shanssv:
i also bought online ..and i could not get a unlockcode.. if u get a unlock code please update here
[HD7 General] Tejstar:
Got mine online on PAYG on O2 and unlocked no problem over the weekend. Make sure you use the 15-digit IMEI number on the box and NOT the 17-digit it gives you when checking from the phone. The last two digits relate to the operator and should not be used.
[HD7 General] shanssv:
i used the code without turning on the mobile, just from the box.
[HD7 General] avsmithy:
Same

Same with me, bought online Monday delivered Tuesday, and cannot find code error.

Btw don't you get a message telling you to use the first 15 digits if you enter 17 on htcimeiunlock?
[HD7 General] colonel:
yes, the last two digits are irrelevant

htcimeiunlock have told me should be 1-2 days (you need to subscribe to be informed)

unlock-now.com told me 1-2 weeks

I guess the winner gets my money :)
[HD7 General] avsmithy:
:(

Grr, me wants It now! :mad:

I signed up for the htcimeiunlock email, but if you find another way round it please let us know :o
[HD7 General] foaf:
Hi Guys, a quick update, following the above quote O2 sent me the unlock PIN for free after 24 hours of calling them. I believe I have been quite lucky, the subject of the email includes details from the support ticket and clearly says "Pay Monthly" even though I am a PAYG customer.

Just in case you want to try this instead of waiting for the 3rd party unlockers to update their database my tip is, I called without my 'new' PAYG mobile number to hand, so she found my account via the order number instead. There is a chance this is why the request for unlocking assumed it was a contract phone not a PAYG phone.

For once I'm impressed with O2 support :)
[HD7 General] shanssv:
What did u ask? & How did they filled up a form to unlock even though u r on a PAY&GO?
[HD7 General] colonel:
yeah, tried and failed :(

They looked up order number and saw it was PAYG, then said will only unlock after 12 months
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] stevejinde:
The touchscreen on my HTC X7500 has just stopped working. I can still navigate using the keyboard, but that's a pain... And it works remote via Everywan on my computer, but I can't walk around with my computer just to use my phone!!!

Now I am not aware of doing anything to cause that to happen. I haven't tried to flash or update it. Could it have been switched off? Or maybe a wire/conecter come loose?

Any ideas???
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vampiro2000:
Hello, this is my firt post and i need help!

Now when i connect in kies mode the phone keeps mounting and unmouting the Sd cards! and hangs in starting,doesnt get recognised by keys. This issues only occurs in kies mode and not in mass storage. Could it be related to kies, the usb port or phone?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vampiro2000:
Ok, I've tested in another pc and it does the same: keeps mounting and unmouting both sd cards and stays in starting to kies without connect to kies... So i thinks it's not kies itself or usb ports... Is there anything wrong with the phone or it's something i installed to? (before the problems it disconnected by mistake from kies then I got a damaged internal sd card info and external sd card corruption, but both are working fine and I didn't get that notification anymore...). What can i do? Shall a format solve this?

Formated the internal sd and nothing... but wait... removed the external sd card and voilá! it now works!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
Odd. I know there's a bug in kies that won't let you connect if you have media files with more then 16 letters. That could be reason. Check your files and rename them. Also do a format the SD car dwith your phone in settings. Unmount then format. That should also help
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vampiro2000:
Ok, it's doing the same again, with or without external sd... So i realy don't know what's appening!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0utkast:
Be sure to use the latest kies , it's a kies bug , but i am prety sure that the latest one has it fixed .
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Hi,

I've found the same behavior across several different ROMs on different phones, one of them completely factory fresh and recent. I was lucky to record /proc/kmsg dump before the beginning of this behavior, and see it starting.

It looks like mmc0 stops getting correct data - at some point every transaction attempted results in CRC error, and kmsg is full of those errors. The phone during that time appears unresponsive - screen dimmed but not completely off, or soft buttons lit but screen doesn't appear, or when it appears - it doesn't react to touch.

Turning WiFi off and on after it happens seems to cure it.

Now, if I'm not mistaken, mmc0 is the SDIO interface to WiFi card. I see that "card0001 is attached" on it when WiFi is toggled on, and removed when WiFi is off. I believe that it's a dedicated interface and nothing else is connected to it. Kernel devs - can you confirm?

kmsg dump:

http://pastebin.com/zrDzNRUc

Starts looking weird at line 100:

<3>[ 1728.086883] msm_pm_wait_state(2, 0, 0, 0) failed 11001

Then at line 156 bad things start happening:

<4>[ 2736.639434] dhdsdio_checkdied: msgtrace address : 0x00000000

From this point, it goes down the drain until WiFi is turned off and back on (and the log ends on it).

So what I'd like to do, is to find the reason for this happening, and possibly make a simple workaround - I'd prevent WiFi turning off and on over a hung phone. Anyone with kernel / driver knowledge cares to assist? I'm not much of SW developer, but I know my HW.

I wasn't sure whether to post it here or in Development. It's not a Q&A thread, and I'm not asking for confirmations/opinions, unless people are rooted (that's a requirement to be able to dump kmsg), have enough knowledge and are willing to assist with gathering data / solving the problem.

Thanks.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Bump.

In the meantime, I'll try to change a kernel on stock FRG83 to see if it helps.
[Nexus One General] itay1:
Seeing this as well. Hope you get to the bottom of it.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
I believe many people started seeing it with FRG83. It might not only be affected by WiFi, but also Bluetooth - they're using the same SDIO path to the same BCM4329 controller, using the same MMC0 controller for access.

Since it was always present, but got worse with FRG83 - I believe it might be a race condition somewhere in the code.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Demented71:
DISCLAIMER: Any modification to your phone is done at your own risk. I am not responsible for any problems you MIGHT incur by applying these bootanimations.

Also, I have only made/tested these on my Captivate running Cogniton 2.2 Beta 9. I can not guarantee they will work on other phones/ROMs.

Since Designgears has finally released a version of Cognition 2.2 with Voodoo and Boot Animation support, I've been having a little fun making a few. I thought it might be a good idea to make a thread specifically for Captivates, since this hasn't always been easy for us Cappy users to have custom boot animations!

I figure this would be a good thread for everyone to post their bootanimations, and get help on how to make them work.

If you post one that you did, please try and make a GIF of the animation as well. Even though it may display differently on the phone, it would give you an idea of what it looks like.

These bootanimation.zip files need to go into /system/media. I use Root explorer to just copy them from my SD card to that location.

ADB or Terminal Emulator:

So I'll start off! Both of these were created to match my current theme I have going of stainless steel icons, clock, and wallpaper. The DG one I just applied some light flaring.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] ari197:
Nice ...

Can you provide a short tutorial on how to make one ?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] DJNgoma:
Currently using the N1 and Win7 mash up. Spinning orbs into the Nexus "X".
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Demented71:
I actually used this tutorial to get started:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623960

I had used this kernel that supports the bootanimation.zip files first, but couldn't get it to work until I installed DG's beta 9 Cog 2.2.

It just seemed to work then.

Take note, if you look at some of the ones I posted, my part0 folder is empty on some. It doesn't seem to need anything in there, since the instructions in the desc.txt file tell it not to loop, so it goes right to the part1 folder. That is where all of your images go.

If people still seem to have questions, and maybe don't get that tutorial I posted, then perhaps I'll add a simple quick tutorial at the beginning of this thread. Bear in mind that I am using old school software (Paint Shop Pro 7 and Animation shop), so you will have to adjust accordingly if you use newer stuff.

Anyway, just added two more!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] RKight:
I like "Android Basic". It's simple. I like that.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] RKight:
Assuming your /system partition is set to rw (read-write), you just open a command prompt and cd to the directory containing the bootanimation.zip. You then type "adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media".
[Captivate Themes and Apps] JPxM0Dz:
I currently use Absolute System to install boot animations, it would be nice to see these added to it's current database ;)

Nice work!

My first crack at a boot animation...

Hey everyone,

Long time lurker/flasher, first time poster :D

Inspired by Cognition 2.2beta9 and its new ability to customize boot animations, I thought I'd try my hand--particularly since I know nothing about coding and cannot contribute in any way, shape, or form to that endeavor.

I hope somebody find this interesting/cool/quirky. Let me know what you think:

(Sorry--forum won't let me post images/links yet--you know what to do...) h t t p : / / w w w .broughammedia.com/download/android/cog2-2_b9-bootanimation.gif

(I trust that, if you're going so far to download this thing, that you understand what you're doing and that you in no way hold me responsible if it causes your phone to singe your fingers, kicks your puppy, or speaks in a ribald nature to your mother. You've been warned :p)

Thanks for looking!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Chief Beefalo:
Looks good! nice work my friend.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] cmbrougham:
Thank you! I appreciate the comment. Incidentally, do you have any idea how many posts it takes before you can add images and links?

Since my day job is video production, this seemed like a fun and natural extension. Plus, it gives me a chance to work on my After Effects and animation skillz.

If anyone has any ideas or concepts they would like to see for a boot animation, I'm all ears... err, eyes. I'll probably try to make a new one each time a Cognition ROM rolls out, as that is my ROM du jour.

Thanks again!

Now that's the talent I'm talking about!

Awesome Job! What did you use to make that, and where can I get it so I can start learning?

One suggestion/request though; since there will most likely be more iterations of Cognition 2.2, would it be possible for you to make one without the beta9?

Thanks for contributing, you're the first!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] cmbrougham:
Thanks! I built that using Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, and a couple third-party plug-in packages I use. AE is probably a little more coin than you want to drop for something like this, but hey--never hurts :)

I can build a "non-beta-branded" version--no problem. That way this one can live on if the rest I build suck :P As mentioned, I'll probably roll a new one out every time an updated ROM drops, though at the rate they seem to be coming, I'll have bloody stumps of fingers in just days :D

Anything else you'd like to see in that text line instead of the "beta9" part?
