Its becouse they make good money on the ios platform so they dont give a **** about android. Simple
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
that doesnt make sense because there are more android phones than iphones. i think there aren't enough android phones with great gpus quite yet. there are the galaxy s series which are still relitively unknown and not as well recognised as the droid x and iphone. the the droid xz while better than the evo in 3d is still only about half of what the galaxy s phones are doing. the other phones that are near galaxy s performance in that area are the g2 and mytouch 4g which are faster in other areas, but both being on t-mobile restricts the userbase. i think that the gaming will pick up with the introduction of of more htc phones built with the newwer qualcom chips and the introduction of more android tabs. so all in all we will likely be looking at buying our next phones before we take full advantage of this one.

there are already good ports from the pc of older games like quake and doom but the touchscreen controls aren't that good. may be better with a bluetooth game pad.
[Desire HD General] Yao Ng:
Has anyone else found that occasionally the screen starts going mad? I will unlock the phone and suddenly it starts going into various menu options, brings up a browser or brings up widget settings. It's as if there is an invisible finger using the screen, although it's so fast it's as if there is a buffer of actions.

I'm not sure what causes it, but a colleague has a Samsung Galaxy and reckons he gets it when moisture gets on the screen. My screen has never been wet or near anything wet.

Additionally, I've noticed it was happening just now when I was charging the phone via USB. When I unplugged it the behaviour stopped.

Anyone else?

[Desire HD General] Valorster:
Never had that before , maybe a application you installed that is acting wierd?

I had a application installed that just drained my batt like hell.

I also reboot the phone after heavy duty, meaning using the explorer , games, ....
[Desire HD General] damianhelme:
me too!

I'm getting the same problem at the moment. It takes me about 5 attempts to unlock the screen. Once I'm in, sometimes it responds to my touch, sometimes it doesn't, other times it just does random stuff. It's making the phone totally unusable .

I got the phone on Monday (3 days ago) this is the first time it happened. I'm sat in a cafe atm and it's quite humid in here; if it's a problem with moisture could the humidity explain it?

I once had a similar problem with an ipod touch after it had been in a bag with a leaking water bottle. It went OK by itself after a few hours.

Anybody else got any thoughts?

Thanks

Damian.
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
The thing that I had to get used to was gripping the phone properly. The lower right quarter of my right hand is a bit chubby, so when I gripped the phone my palm ended up wrapping around the phone and resting on the screen somewhat. This would result in the screen not always unlocking right, sometimes selecting widgets and icons on my homescreen, restricting scrolling in the browser and random text entry.

Since I've altered my grip I don't get those problems any more.
[Desire HD General] v6kgang:
My tattoo does this all the time....

Looks like exposing the phone to extreme conditions like heat or humidity makes this...

I used to keep my phone next to my Burning furnace i7 HP laptop and there is an LCD leak now on the screen :-(...since i noticed the leak, the phone started behaving more cranky....
[Desire HD General] damianhelme:
update ...

Just to give an update, my phone is OK again now. By the time I got home a few hours later it had sorted itself out.

It's a HTC Desire HD, btw.

[Desire HD General] hansvk:
I had the same problem when I used a non-HTC charger.
[Desire HD General] hatemk:
Same problem here happens when charging with the original charger, when tyring another HTC charger with the same model number the problem is gone.

My guess is the charger that came with the phone is defective.

A workaround: I'm using a case for my DHD, when this problem happens I can get the screen to act normal by keeping the phones body (metal part) in direct contact with my hand.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smathias503:
NEED SERIOUS HELP WITH CDMA HERO ON SPRINT. After rooting, downloading ROM Manager, & applying various ROM's due to rebooting issue finally was able to apply Cyanogen Mod version: 6.0.0-Heroc but now I'm totally unable to REACTIVATE MY SERVICE ON SPRINT! I sat on hold with Sprint's supposed "Tech Support" last night for not resolution to the issue. I came to the conclusion that Hero won't accept any provisional programming codes. Anyone, anyone, ANYONE know an answer to this issue, experienced the same issue, have an explanation for this issue? I am a former manager with Sprint so not a complete imbecile with phones/computers/techy. devices but this has me completely baffled & stuck using my old HTC Touch Pro until this issue is resolved. Thanks in advance.

smathias503
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandelay007:
Reactivate your service? Were you trying to activate it after rooting and loading cm6?? aosp does not support ## codes...why don't you load the sprint ruu and then activate your phone and then root, flash a custom recovery (use clockwork in the rom manager app you have) and then load cm6
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smathias503:
Thanks!

I really appreciate your suggestion and was wondering if the ROM was unequipped to do any carrier provisioning after-the-fact. I'im definitely going to do as you instructed, which had struck me as an option, but, was a little freaked out to start applying different ROMs not in ROM Manager App since for the most part of the week my "Hero" has been inoperable, unprovisioned, or buggy in one way or another. Will attempt this tonight and post-up the outcome!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandelay007:
You could try Fresh 2.4, its a pretty solid sense based rom....let me know if you need anything else

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandelay007:
Someone else that I was helping with this same thing flashed the liquid sense rom and got all his missed texts, like I did with fresh then came back to cm6 and everything was fine, so this should solve your problem too, but let me know...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smathias503:
Should've replied earlier but was too busy celebrating the usage of my Hero, again! Lol! So, did as advised above & did esn swap before flashing to Fresh & no problems. Thinking I want to go to Cyanogen instead but a little weary because of previous issues, any advise, should I give it a shot?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandelay007:
I'm glad I was able to help you! I would not hesitate to go to CM now that you are up and running again, it should flash nice and smooth! Let me know if you need any more help!
[HD2 General] Camusa:
Hey there,

I have seen connectivity issues, but not this particular issue so...here goes:

This problem has been sporadic for me, but recently lasted for the past week.

I can connect my bluetooth earpiece to my HD2 just fine.

If someone calls I can hear it through the phone and pick up.

I can have a conversation through it.

What I cannot do at this time (and could a few days back) is press the button on my earpiece, hear the "blip" which prompts me to speak, say call [insert name], hear the name repeated back to me, I confirm and away we go!

If I am looking at the phone while I am doing this the microphone symbol will show up when I press the button.

If I then say, "Call home" it will show the contact page for "home."

If I then say "yes" it will dial "home."

All of this is done with no sound confirmation.

This is obviously not good for hands-free driving!

I have changed no settings and yes, it has been working with all ROMs, but as I noted, I have had this problem sporadically and now it is going on a week since I had this functionality.

Yes, I have done several soft resets, turning bluetooth on and off as well as unpairing and redetecting the device.

Any thoughts?
[HD2 General] Camusa:
OK...it just worked for me.

Like I said...sporadic.

The only thing I can think of that I did differently was that I turned on bluetooth then turned off the phone (just clicked the power key, did not power down) then put on my bluetooth and once paired I tried the function and it worked.

The last few times I had not clicked the power key as I was waiting for the pairing and then attempting to use the function immediately thereafter.

hmmmm...

I don't know if this counts as a "fix" yet.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noneroy:
I've done a bunch of googling and can't seem to get a straight answer so I thought I'd just ask. I apologize for the noobishness of this question and thank every kind soul in advance for your help on this form in general and this question in particular.

To install cyanogenmod I had to install an older hboot (.76.2000 (pc361)). I did so and things are okay but I really need to wireless tether with 4G these days. So I want to go back to stock. When I try to restore my nandroid backup i get an error restoring the boot image. From what I've found this is due to the hboot version I'm using.

So my question is this: can I simply update the hboot to something newer? Would that remove my ability to run an nandroid recovery? Would I be better just doing a RUU recovery from scratch (or is that even possible)? Essentially, what is the fastest and safest way to get back to a stock image?

Thanks again for your help with this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noneroy:
So I grabbed the latest RUU and thought I'd give that a shot. It won't work though as it won't see the phone...even though Windows is seeing the phone in device manager. I'm guessing this has to do with SENSE not being on there.

Can one extract the files from the RUU installer and just apply them via the clockwork recovery?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackulous:
Sorry no one responded sooner you can just use the warm 2. 2 Rom its very good has 4g and Sprint hotspot is hacked automatically and its got a custom version of sense give it a go put it on the root of SD and flash through recovery no need for stock you'll see its enjoyable
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackulous:
Also if necessary you can find an app for WiFi tether by googling WiFi tether apk

You are both a scholar and a gentleman. I thank you for your help!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dom085:
From what I heard, the sprint hotspot app only tethers on 3G. Any truth to this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potna:
I battled with the exact same issue. Search my posts for my thoughts and findings in this.

Briefly though, I can say I that you are on the money and I too didn't know how to get past this hboot issue, but I found a way around the issue.

from the beginning, To flash Cm6 you must flash to an older hboot, don't remember the version.

To perform a nandroid restore to your stock sense Rom backup you already made, that is now not working,you have to go back to that hboot you had before you went to the older on to get Cm6 to flash.

Here's how I did it with a little bonus info.

You can now ever make a nandroid backup of Cm6, incase you might want to go back to Cm6.

Use the 3.29. Ruu to get away from cm6 and put that hboot you need to run that nandroid restore to the sense Rom backup you made. This will make you completely stock.

Then you can use unrevoked to root again.

Now you can edo your nandroid restore to your backups that wouldn't work because our hboot is good to go now.

Also, good thing to know is that you can nandroid restore back to your Cm6 backup, if you made one, because its the flashing that requires that other hboot, not a nandroid backup.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noneroy:
This is good info on how to go back to stock. If I weren't so damn busy with work and such I'd even think it should be a wiki article. The world of ROMs and ROOT is a fun place to play and opens up a lot of doors, but for a n00b you can feel kind of stuck. I thin it's because each phone/mfg tends to have their own quirks and so you can read general info but there are always these little variances which make me utterly afraid of bricking a $200 device....

I went with the Warm Two Point Two and, wow, it's slick. It gives me the 4G i needed and works quite well. It does also appear to tether over 4G as well. I'm very happy. But, again, it's good to have the steps outlined to go back to stock because I'm sure I won't be the last person to want to know how to do this. :D

Thanks again for all your help!

I am getting random reboots and I am unable to figure out what is causing the problem and I have not found any thread about random reboots with the Captivate. :confused:
[Captivate General] koreancanuck:
Provide us with more information. Is your phone rooted, on a custom ROM maybe, what have you been doing to your phone, when did this start happening, etc.
[Captivate General] haojan:
History

I started with stock, rooted, non-market apps, unhelpful kernel v1.2, removed AT&T bloatware. LCD density @ 180. Tried One Click Lag Fix v1.0 and v2.2 and uninstalled. Juice Defender to manage 3G. Juice Plotter to track battery.

After messing around with it, I encountered a reset of the default launcher selection each time I long pressed the home button to bring up the recently used programs. I then did a hard reset and that fixed that problem. After the hard reset, my Captivate ran great! I found it responsive and fast enough without the need to try and apply any lagfix.

I then reinstalled my selected applications. My phone started to randomly reboot about once a day. I noticed Juice Plotter's data would be lost and it had to rebuild. It also happened to reboot on me once while I was using it. Other than that, it has not really affected my usability.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
If it hasn't affected your usability, do you want to fix it?

If you do want to fix it, then the best way is to restore to Stock and add things slowly until you determine the problem. If you return to Stock and it still reboots, then you have a hardware issue.
[Captivate General] haojan:
It doesn't "quite" affect usability but it is not working "normally" either.

Was hoping to see if anyone else have experienced random reboots and how to troubleshoot it. If not, I will try out Odin one-click flash to stock...

Calls with GV android still go out over a standard cellular network so therefore this doesn't work in the case where you have no network access.
