I took that from it as well. However if that was the case the update.zip would only have one patch file for the entire image and not a separate patch file for each apk / script / img / file that is being patched, which it does. It runs the applypatch command for each file being patched.
[Android Software Development] xenspidey:
This method that they used in the update.zip could only update individual files because running this update only updated certain apps and no user data was lost. I realize that they could have just updated the image that /system is on. Could it be a possibility that they would break the image up on the phone patch only the files necessary then rebuild the image?
[Desire HD General] YumYumHD:
Are you satisfied with the external speakers on the Desire HD?

Everyone please answer the poll so we can get an accurate idea of what Desire HD users think about the external speakers.
[Desire HD General] bobbyphoenix:
I've read so many post on how bad their speaker is, but I must say, either I have bad ears, or I'm lucky, and got one with a great speaker. No problem making it loud enough, and I can even make it too loud. All without any crackling, or distortion. I love it!
[Desire HD General] YumYumHD:
I guess it may be a 1st batch issue then. If your speakers really are good it would mean that all our speakers are faulty. If this is the case it's a warranty issue, so we could get it fixed.

Could you make a video of the sound, preferably comparing it to another phone?
[Desire HD General] bobbyphoenix:
Yep. I post it as soon as I can.
[Desire HD General] YumYumHD:
I can hardly wait! :P
[Desire HD General] hansvk:
I have a DHD from the first batch and the external speaker sound is not loud enough (even on max.) and the sound quality is poor.
[Desire HD General] mnd_bg:
Not happy.

I'm getting similar sound quality from an over 2 year old TouchPro.
[Desire HD General] bigdish:
Contacted HTC support and all they advised was to remove battery reboot and check volume was set to maximum.

Told them that had been done - no reply since...........

[Desire HD General] Spybreaka:
Already posted in the other thread, but considering I registered here just to complain about this speaker, I figured why not post again here :p

Speaker reminds me of an old Nokia that I sent back within the first week of receiving it. Except it's worse. Tinny and crackly. HTC can do far better. I'm still undecided as to whether I'll keep the phone as a result. I've ordered a bluetooth headset just to deal with this issue, but now I read that it's having problems with the BT headsets too!
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
can't you use DSPmanager and increase the volume of the loud speaker? We have full root after all.
[Desire HD General] YumYumHD:
I haven't tried that, but I have tried PowerAmp music player to boost music.

The result was as I expected: hardly any increase in volume, at the expense of crackly distorted bad sound quality - worse than it was at "normal" levels.
[Desire HD General] Ethania:
The strange thing is this:

Some apps sounds louder and some is hard to hear.

Have all volume sliders at max.

An MP3 used as alarm sounds higher then one played trough the mediaplayer.

Isnt this strange?
[Desire HD General] darrenjdoc:
I have been missing calls at work so i bought a Samsung Bluetooth speaker BS300. It has just landed today. It is small and thin and also the sound quality is excellent and loud. I am waiting for the battery now to charge and i will leave a few comments later when i have made and received a few calls with it :)
[Desire HD General] ppxda:
I found the speaker was quite poor and sold the phone. Not just because of the speaker, was more that I just didn't feel it was a significant upgrade over the normal Desire.

Anyway, before I sold the DHD I compared the sound against my Desire, a Samsung i8910 and a Nokia N95. Even the old Nokia sounded better than both HTC phones and the Samsung just blew everything away.

I understand there's a lot of sound technology in the phone, but it only works if using headphones. Speaker is just a token affair as far as I'm concerned.
[Desire HD General] eozen81:
Just to make sure,

I hope there are no complaints related with the quality of the sound with a good set of headphones like Sennheisser or something like that, right?

Some of the worst phone speakers I have come across

Shame, the rest of the phone is great
[Desire HD General] YumYumHD:
Thanks for taking the effort, as this could be a major development.

If your speaker really is very good, we can show this to HTC, and they will have to say that this is a warranty issue.

Personally I do really hope it is, because like london_euphoria said: the rest of the phone is great, it's only the external speaker that is a drawback.
[Desire HD General] bobbyphoenix:
Agree. That's why I want to make sure it's a recording of the true quality, not a choppy cell phone recording. Bare with me. I should have it up this week.

I have a few probably easily answerable questions:

1. I just installed the decamod battery tweak, than realized I dont know how to get into it to tweak the governor and stuff can anyone tell me how I could do that?

2. I was also wondering after I install the zip files into my phone ex.cm6.1.rc1.zip and its all up and running do I have to keep the files on my SDcard? Or can I delete them? WIll that result in it uninstalling the programs?

Thanks any help is appreciated

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] counterfeit187:
Might be a stupid question... but after you do the batt-cfg and go through settings it starts batt.sh or something, my question is do I have to run batt-cfg in the terminal after every reboot? (Is batt.sh a process that needs to be run in the background?) or does it just save the settings and I'm good until I flash a new rom or update?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayclean:
You are good to go until a new flash.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwahomba:
The batt configs will stay through rebooting, but once you flash a new rom, you also will need to reflash the battery tweak. You will then need to re-do your settings.

I need a decrypted stock AT&T X10a ROM , does anyone have this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wupideedoo:
Alright, so I am getting really sick of the stock ROM on my HD2. I disabled the SenseUI and turned on the Windows Default scrolly text interface. I hate SenseUI, it is way too busy, and I don't use my phone to check stocks or weather, so I don't care about having those things on my start screen.

I went searching through the pages and it seems that every ROM here is using Sense as it's base. I will open up two dozen tabs and go through them quickly as I will X them out the moment I see that flippy clock thing. Are there any ROMs that don't have any resemblance to Sense at all? I just want something simple and clean.

(Edit: And I didn't mean to post this here. This was supposed to go in the ROM Development subforum.)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsmccabe78:
1- cht2 is as far from sense as you can get. your imagination is your limitation.

2- titanium is none-sense based

3- there is a maxsense series of roms
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darrengladysz:
Why don't you just disable sense in the settings/personal menu?

This should give you clean windows. Also, there are a number of other options than Sense but these are a cab install not on a rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wupideedoo:
I already said that I did that. But even with Sense disabled the stock ROM still sucks. My phone will freeze for, like, 4 minutes every time I get a text message for instance.

also, mrtim123, i'm pretty sure that 528 ram requirement is smoke and mirrors. not sure where that number originated, but i don't believe there is much truth behind it.

Wait till devs implement it. If you want to have froyo right away flash back to stock and let it update (once released).
[Epic 4G General] brian_hoffman:
Well you will have a few options

1. Probably OTA (Over the Air) from carrier option, but roll out may be spotty. Eg localized to areas from bandwidth. Last OTA was distributed over a weeks time. You will 99% chance lose root with it and will have to wait for an exploit to be found.

2. It will probably be here @ XDA in some flash-able format. EG. thru clockwork mod or Odin. It may even include a kernel thats rooted.

3. Im sure there will be a flury of custom dev roms based around Froyo and may arrive before the carrier version rolls out.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TravelFiend:
Hi all,

I"m new here, with a quick question based on my usage today on both the Bell and Rogers network.

I unlocked my HTC Desire Z this afternoon, and I tried it out on Rogers to see what the speeds were like. It has been an odd experience. Here's the background, and my question is below.

Background:

- Aside from being unlocked, it is as originally shipped from Bell (e.g. no root access, ROM hasn't been flashed etc.)

- APN settings were taken from Rogers' own website (e.g. using rogers-core-appl1.apn).

- Speeds tested in downtown Toronto.

Experience so far:

Bell

I get a solid HSDPA indicator all the time (save elevators etc., when there is no connection). I can remember seeing a 3G connection icon perhaps once on Bell since I got it last week. Speeds are very good, four to five bars most of the time

Rogers

I get a solid 3G icon almost all of the time, except when I'm using data, in which case it seems to switch over to the HSDPA icon. Literally, it will show a 3G, and then if I try to browse the web, the icon will immediately switch to an H from a 3G and the web page will load quite quickly.

I was concerned that it was dropping the HSDPA connection frequently, and using 3G instead -- changing towers constantly. So I tried speedtesting it. The results were completely opposite what I expected.

Speedtest Results:

Using the Speedtest.net app (from Ookla) testing against the same Oakville, ON server from Toronto, I'm getting speeds dramatically faster on Rogers. I did three speedtests for each network.

Bell:

Fastest Down: 3411 kbps Fastest Up: 1633 kbps

Slowest Down: 1969 kbps Slowest Up: 1331 kbps

Rogers:

Fastest Down: 5740 kbps Fastest Up: 3766 kbps

Slowest Down: 5405 kbps Slowest Up: 1551 kbps

Ping latency was generally slightly higher on Rogers than Bell.

Question

Does anyone understand why, on Rogers, the Desire Z would be showing a 3G until data is requested, at which time it swaps over to show an H icon (e.g. HSDPA), whereas on Bell, it shows a constant HSDPA connection?

I would have thought that it would be slower on Rogers since it was showing 3G and then the icon switches to H, but I'm guessing that the icon switch isn't really reflecting what's going on, since the speeds are faster when this icon switch occurs. Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance!

TF
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jark99:
Its not just the Desire Z but also most smartphones on rogers. i had a samsung galaxy and it did the same thing. However, (correct me out there, if im wrong) But i remember reading the HSDPA was inbetween 3g and 3.5g?...i dont remmeber but to me i know that Rogers is faster, my brother has a Bell phone and my speeds were always faster.

heres a bit of help i found

HSDPA is actually one of the 3G protocols.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Not sure there really is a 3.5G as such, but if there is, then HSDPA is it. It provides faster speeds than the standard 3G (UMTS) protocols. There's also HSPA+ coming out, which is even faster. HSPA+ isn't 4G, although confusingly some carriers in the US (T-Mobile I think ?) are referring to it as such.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craiglay:
On O2 in the UK, I get the same effect, holds at 3G then switches to HSDPA when in use. There doesn't seem to be any latency when switching and if it can't achieve HSDPA it remains at 3G. Speedtest returns about 1.5-2 Mbit which is normal.

I can only imagine its a power saving feature as from experience with the Touch Diamond 2 / Touch Pro 2, having HSDPA enabled sucked battery life significantly. I don't remember this happening on those phones either. Seems like a good idea, but would be nice to choose (always on, auto, always off)

I actually used to disable HSDPA and use 3G exclusively and consistently got 2-3 days out of both phones with moderate use. I never missed it.

Craig
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TravelFiend:
That must be it -- interestingly, I went into the About Phone > Network > Signal Strength menu to check it out. When the icon is showing 3G, the "Mobile network type" is UTMS. When data is being transmitted, the icon immediately switches to H and the "Mobile network type" reports HSDPA.

Very cool -- I'm going to see if this -- by itself -- extends my battery life tomorrow. Thanks for the feedback!

TF
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TravelFiend:
Just FYI -- there has been a dramatic improvement in my battery life on Rogers, compared to what I was experiencing on Bell. Typically, I would be at about 40% battery life left at this point in the day (presumably because I was constantly connected to HSDPA with Bell). Whereas I'm at 80% battery life left with the Rogers 3G connection, and I've still been connected to Wi-Fi for the past five hours and browsing reasonably heavily.

Thanks for your help in sorting this out everybody.

TF
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlitchZero:
Interesting, as Bell has rolled out several HSPA+ areas, Toronto being one of them, and Rogers still only has HSPA.

What I found odd on my DZ (still on Bells network) is that my Network Mode is GSM / WCDMA auto (never seen this on any other handset I've hand that's been HSDPA) and I understand that the HSDPA networks here are CDMA with a GSM overlay (ie, the need for a SIM card, etc) and I frequently see my icon changing from 3G to H (again, this is only on my DZ), but Bell only has a CDMA EVDO 3G network and the HSPA "3G+" network, there's not really a GSM enabled 3G network.

I'm confused, as on my Telus Milestone, it's constantly H, never once seen 3G appear on it, and Telus and Bell share their network.

Maybe I'm just horribly misinformed.
