[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitealien:
You can look at it by comparing Macs with PCs. Can you install windows on Macs? No! Why? Because Apple won't make hardware property drivers for Windows. The same here with Android and Winmo7. When HTC will release new phone with Winmo7 devs on xda will be able to port it to similar device with similar hardware, so drivers are more or less compatible. So I agree with ddotpatel that Hero won't have running Winmo7.

On another hand technically it is possible by using reverse engineering, but that is the hell of the work so I don't think someone can do that.

... or HTC have full stock of Hero hardware which they can't sell so to reduce costs they decide to design new model with Hero hardware running Winmo7. I personally think Hero could handle Winmo7 without problems.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
yes you can
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukesky:
winmo7 has strict hardware requirements, MS would never allow it to be run on a low end phone like Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dormantlemon:
You can.

Ps I see someone beat me :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitealien:
Yeah, well, both of you did not get the point. I'm not talking about new macs who come now pre-installed with windows. I was talking about old times back when macs where only available with iOS and it was kinda cold war between macs and pcs.
[Desire HD General] deli_gt:
Im sorry to tell that affter 5 days of use im sending thish stone back.

Battery is just big fail compared to my SGS.

With sgs i got 5-7 hours of use.

With fully calibrated battery on DHD i got 2-3 hour of use, with 100% indentical settings and apps i had running on sgs.

Other disapointment was the screen compared to sgs, no where near sgs.

Performance was good as on sgs.

Loudspeaker was too crisp and bit disaponting overaly.

Camera and video is ok but not as good as sgs but much better than nexus one.

Heavy as stone.

Had high hopes for this but this is just one big fail from HTC.

So im back to lagfixed sgs froyo, and am totaly happy for decision to dumb dhd back to shop.
[Desire HD General] berek9999:
2-3 hours? What were you doing to hammer it that hard? I know battery life is probably not going to be as good as some other phones, but I can't believe that's a typical run-flat time. Can you give a bit more detail as to what you were using it for?
[Desire HD General] Dentisst:
Many would have different opinion to yours including myself. I don't like SGS screen with its oversaturated colours and all those fixes and froyo didn't help almost nothing, phone is still laggy thanks to Samsungs rfs system. Some people like when the phone has some weight and some like Plastic Fantastic :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chocobo15:
Quick question about the way the Vibrant syncs with google:

Every time I add a new contact on my phone, it asks if I want to store to phone, or gmail, and every time i click phone assuming that it would automatically sync with gmail periodically.

Is this not the case!??! I installed a new rom recently and it wiped the phone, and the whole time I was thinkin "o well, it'll resync when I link my account" ... after the rom installation, i noticed that few new phone #s weren't there.

Does that mean every time I add a new number I should always save it to my google account instead of directly on the phone?

And for contacts that are stored on the phone, they appear with a green phone logo next to the contact in the list. Those linked with google appear with a black box and a white "g" inside. How do I convert those stored on my phone to link with google? Do I go "edit" --> "link contact"?

Update:

For contacts that are "google" contacts, they can't be categorized into groups on my vibrant either, because they aren't recognized. Only contacts that I've recently added into the phone are recognized. Is there some trick that I'm not aware of?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slickware:
I second this question. I used a G1 previously and this new method is extremely confusing.

I currently have NO "contacts" and ONLY google contacts, which means apparently I can't set up any groups because my phone doesn't know who my contacts are!

~A
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chocobo15:
slick, you bring up another point I wanted to ask about as well! Thanks!

I'm going to amend that into the OP
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slickware:
bump...?

I find it amazing that people have figured out how to turn these phones into toasters, rocketships, nuclear-war-launch-devices and other errata, but haven't figured out how to store contacts correctly...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikey98277:
I always make my contacts google, works good for flashing as much as I do, and also if you upgrade your phone in the future, as long as it is android it will automatically put all your contacts in their for you. If you dont want to do that, there is a paid app called mybackup pro that will backup contacts. But I do suggest that you always use google to save time in the future.

You can link contacts, but all it does is make it so it does not show up as a duplicate contact on your list, your best bet is to log into gmail, go to contacts and add them from there. then you can hit menu and filter what shows in your contact list(facebook/twitter/google). You can add them to google from the phone, but I prefer to add them from gmail or google voice, as i can type faster on my computer.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayray430:
I recently reflashed a rom and I checked and found out some of my contacts were missing. I checked my gmail contacts and it's there. I checked to sync all my contacts on my phone but it doesn't show up on my phone. I didn't have a problem with my first flash with the rom. How can I resync the missing contacts back to my phone? Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caldjeff:
Yeah...this is definitely one of the worst changes made to Android by the Samsung TouchWiz interface. I had a G1 also, and really liked not having to worry about phone/sim/google contacts. I just want contacts that are always in sync no matter where I go. This is the one thing that will push me to go AOSP once somebody releases a decent rom. As far a I know, no custom ROMs have gotten contacts to be anything other than TW.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitjo:
Just a question (maybe a stupid one, but i'm totally a noob with android)

I have a IT Fastweb branded desire, with hboot 0.75

I rooted it using unrevoked, flashing amonra recovery

Then i flashed a rooted stok froyo rom

Unfortunately i forgot to do a nandroid backup before flashing the froyo rom

The question is, can i downgrade to stock situation (branded eclair) just running the Fastweb RUU???

I'm reading the downgrade guide and i can't understand if i need all that work...

Thanks in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
If it's the same version that came with the phone originally then yes, or with any releases since the original

Using bluetooth during Airplane mode...on cyanogen

I heard that this was possible on the cyanogen rom, but it seems not be working. any thoughts on this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2JZ GZE:
can anyone shed some light on this issue?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterneums:
I don't believe it is possible. When you put on airplane mode it is supposed to turn off all of the radio frequencies, bluetooth included.

That being said, I don't have Cyanogen so I can't base my answer 100%. It's just what would make sense to me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2JZ GZE:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mad06STi:
The point of airplane mode is to disable any radio activity from the device because the FCC is paranoid about interference to the plane's systems from personal devices.

If you're willing to enable bluetooth you might as well go ahead and turn the phone back on. It doesn't make any sense to only enable bluetooth, its the same rule being broken on the plane.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2JZ GZE:
I understand this point, but my Palm Pre would be able to still connect even if in Airplane mode. I believe cell phone interference was paramount to BT interference.

I am just trying to see if there was a hack that would enable it.

I run a lot with my BT headphones listening to music. I would like to completely turn off my cell radio so I do not get disturbed by SMS or calls or anything.

Thanks.

Hi,

Just got my Desire HD today and it's all good except I've noticed a rattle when the vibrator kicks in, ie when you're entering text for a message etc that is a very different sound to the actual vibrator itself. Has anyone else noticed it?
[Desire HD General] paladin77:
Dude! have the exact same Issue! I was going insane, because i thought it happened after i dropped my phone. But You're saying you have it and your phone is new. Anyone else?
[Desire HD General] Andy:
My vibration motor failed last Friday. Makes a scraping/clicking/whining noise depending on how I hold it. Never dropped and kept in a HTC leather pouch all the time.

HTC UK quoted 28+ days to repair as "there is a backlog of repairs, due to us moving repair centres". Told them to fcuk right off, not waiting that length of time.

Twisted Phones4U's arm (who I bought the handset off) and they reluctantly agreed a replacement.

I'm still waiting for that, as the first replacement had extremely poor fitting covers, both battery & SIM/SD card.
[Desire HD General] paladin77:
Sorry to hear that andy. But the issue we are describing is the vibrator producing a rattling "click" sporadically when delivering haptic feedback. It's close in sound to an ipod keypress osund (LOL, didn't know how to describe it otherwise). It's a minor issue, but it's driving me insane! We want to see how many people have noticed it, and if there is a solution/workaround
[Desire HD General] h00k00:
Same issue here - worked fine for the first week of owning the phone and since then the vibrate function rattles so loud it's embarassing so I avoid using it altogether (not to mention it's a horrible high pitched sort of sound).

I have, however, noticed that if I gently squeeze the left and right sides of the phone and test the vibrate function it works correctly as it's meant to (I try to avoid doing this often as I'm scared I'll damage the screen by putting too much pressure on it). It's almost as if the vibrate motor gains some breathing room and space for movement.

This leads me to believe that either the various removable covers are no longer a decent fit (and they were a pretty bad fit to begin with) and are causing the rattle or the whole case has warped somehow causing the vibrate feature to play up.

I'd be interested to see if any other people confirm this to be an issue.
[Desire HD General] mail2eswar:
I have baught my Desire HD around 6 months back. Even my phone gives rattle sound (Something like there are some loose part inside). I don't remember if I have this issue when I bausght the phone, But I am facing this since long time.
[Desire HD General] ibza:
In some threads they say the metal ring around the camera could be loose and it rattles when the phone vibrates. Maybe it could be that but my phone vibration is weak but normal.
[Desire HD General] haelmchen:
there comes more and more a louder sound when the phone is vibrating. but when its in my bag, its sometimes better i hear it a bit
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] clio94:
Hello.I have compile an evo based kernel with different wifi mac address,since many people have 2 hd2 and cannot connect in the same wifi network same time.

Unfortunatelly i didnt make any magic to correct this issue into git tree.Before compiling kernel i go to arch/arm/mach-msm find the file board-htcleo-wifi-nvs.c and in the line static unsigned char *hardcoded_nvs =

"macaddr=00:11:22:33:44:55\n"\

i change manually the mac address

But i see something strange.The original board-htcleo-wifi-nvs.c that you can find in http://www.gitorious.com/linux-on-wince-htc is like this

static unsigned char *nvs_mac_addr = "macaddr=00:11:22:33:44:55\n";

static unsigned char *hardcoded_nvs =

and wifi mac change doesnot work.

So i used the file from nexus based kernel which i include into the rar file

i have upload

Also found that in evo based kernel in drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329_204/proto in the file 802.11.h there is a line #define BRCM_PROP_OUI	"\x00\x90\x4C" these digits are the first three of same wifi mac address we have in evo kernel.I put there other random numbers but wifi tried to connect,without success.

Hope that someone can combine the things and find a permanent solution without the need of building other kernel.

I have included 2 kernels with different wifi mac address and the latest fix for music stuttering.They are based into hastarins-linux tree without overclock or undervolt patch.

http://rapidshare.com/files/427143719/evo_kernel_mac_addr.rar

mirror

http://www.filefactory.com/file/b3he4cd/n/evo_kernel_mac_addr.rar

Also i see that maybe wifi N is not enabled in evo based kernel.I compared code here http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/...it;h=54e627b77ef4bf0e30c0b5a7ac390e8c8b207fec

and made the changes in evo kernel files.If someone can test this if works.

Thanks to all developers for your work.You give new life to our hd2 :)

There is nothing to change if you are not compiling a kernel

[Desire General] StuMcBill:
If you put your phone into fastboot mode, connect your phone to your computer via USB and run the file you have downloaded.

It should flash the rom onto your desire.

Sent from my Amiga 500 using Workbench
[Desire General] StuMcBill:
Is it an .exe file or a .zip file?

If it is an exe try running it from your computer.

If it is a zip file you *might* need to rename it to PBxxxxx.zip ( the actual name flashes up when you enter hboot) and put it on your SD card. When you enter hboot it should flash it.

I am not 100% sure about the zip method so you should wait until someone else confirms.

Someone has replied in one of your other threads saying he had the same problem? Maybe he can help?

[Desire General] the_ahmadzais:
Anyone knows?
[Desire General] h3llb3nd4:
dont you have a memory card reader or something?

can you boot into recovery? if you can you can mount your sdcard there so it can be read from your pc.

btw if your telus rom file is a .zip, then make sure it is renamed to PB99IMG.zip before you put it onto your memory card. when you reboot into fastboot mode, the zip file should run automatically.
[Desire General] the_ahmadzais:
hello . i do have memory card reader just bought it . when i choose recovery the screen goes black and nothing happens.

i just tried the -volume+power it didnt work i did change the file name. then i press recovery again still doesnt work
[Desire General] StuMcBill:
If you have PB99IMG.zip on your SD card you shouldn't even need to go to recovery.

Start in fastboot mode (power and back) then select bootloader.

It should check your SD card for the file and flash it.

Sent from my Amiga 500 using Workbench
[Desire General] the_ahmadzais:
so go to fasboot mode which is - + power? then select bootloader it looks for files but it goes quick . it says something about *no image wrong . cant see it it goes fast
[Desire General] Cactus42:
You haven't mentioned it here but you have another thread about a failed root.

If that is the case then you need an official RUU (The .Exe files to update the phone) which can be found at shipped-roms.com and try to flash back to standard using a PC. None of the rooted/custom ROMS will work so a zip file os probably out of the question.

If this doesn't work then you're stuck I'm afraid, you may be able to pass it off and get a repair or replacement as a dead phone.
[Droid X General] davidukfl:
what app are you guys using to monitor CPU temps when overclocking? I saw SetCPU shows battery temp but not CPU temp.

I downloaded Tempmonitor, but when i select to show CPU temp it tells me i need a new kernel
[Droid X General] adammsu:
the app says that only hacked D1's can show CPU temp...
[Droid X General] braway:
you could search for "CPU Temperature Widget"

and you'll find my small widget which displays the cpu temp.

works on d2, so it should also work on dx ;P
[Droid X General] davidukfl:
installed it, however I'm wondering if it's any use. The only sensor option it gives me to use is the AK8973 sensor. Isn't that just the ambient temp sensor, and not the actual CPU sensor?
[Droid X General] braway:
well, I'm from what I've read it is the temperature of the chip (AK8973),

BUT it seems to be close enough to the cpu to actually get the cpu temp.

I've ran the widget on a friends droid, and it showed the same temperature as setCpu, so it might not be 100% cpu temp, but you probably won't get any closer without a custom kernel :/

(and I didn't actually know that when I wrote and named the app (or posted it here)) :(
[Droid X General] davidukfl:
Alright well it should work then. Im using that plus the battery temp to get an idea of hot things are.

Does anyone know about what temps are safe for the cpu and battery in the x?
