[Wildfire General] thunderskain:
I guess the problem lies with the way you slide the lock thingy. Rather than sliding from the picture downwards, you could try to slide it from the top of the phone (yes from the HTC logo) downwards. Hope this helps.
[Wildfire General] mac4rfree:
thanks thunderskin,, will try that.. but the problem is i will always be on my headphone.. so when a call comes, i have to take the phone out from the pocket to attend it.. is there any way to attend it without the need for taking the phone out.. i hope i make myself clear.. :)
[Wildfire General] DestX:
I've had this happen before, I think it's a HTC bug. When I first got the phone someone called me and I couldn't unlock it.
[Wildfire General] mac4rfree:
@DestX,,,OMG!!! you did something for it???
[Wildfire General] thunderskain:
Unless you are using the original HTC earphones, theres nothing you can do but to slide to answer
[Wildfire General] DestX:
Since I don't get a 'hell of alot of' phone calls, I can't exactly say whether it disappeared with using CM6 rom.

But I haven't had it do it for a while now, does yours do it everytime?
[Wildfire General] mac4rfree:
Yes.. its happening for atleast once in a day..

i just got my phone.. so am just learning how to root it and put a new rom..

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzontra11:
First sorry for bad English.

Ok,what is the problem?

I have a Htc Desire

Today in status bar i see massage"Mounted sd card,read only..

I find some tutorial how to fix that,,,

-------------------------------------------------------------

Put the card in a different phone (no HTC, no PC ... EDIT : and no Mac) and format it.

Put it back in your Desire

Boot the phone

go to Settings -> SD & phone storage

Select "unmount SD card"

Now that the card is unmounted, select "Format SD card"

After telling the phone a few times that you really DO want to do that, it'll format and mount the card, and the ReadOnly status should be gone.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I do that but now when i turn on my desire i just see white screen and green htc logo.

i presume i delete all my backups.

What i to do now?Idea,please.

Thanx

Hi all...

I'm in the UK and am looking for a cheap, decent quality handset for around the £100. It's for my daughters birthday and she loves downloading games (such as Angry Birds) etc. so I think an Android phone would be good for her...... will also stop her using mine!

I already have a sim only T-mobile contract for her so I'd want to continue with that.

I'd appreciate any suggestions of suitable handsets that are worth me considering. I have looked at the HTC Wildfire but it's just outside my budget.

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] princegary:
I think at the mo the best sub £100 phone has to be the orange san francisco. Can even be had for

Only £ 80 too if you have an existing orange account (contact or payg)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ngagephone:
lol no questions asked hands down its the orange phone mentioned above infact its co par with most co the high end phones and it can be unlocked co ebay for 1.99p what a steal.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] busterdan:
Thanks for the suggestion, who makes the San Francisco (presumably Orange have rebranded it). Also I wonder now that Orange and T-Mobile seem to be network sharing even if it is locked would it still work?

I'll have to do a bit more research on it.... specs etc. such as screen resolution/resistive or capacitive.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] busterdan:
ZTE?? oh well.. the video review here seem favourable.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b1wFvwzKRM
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JVolution:
htc wildfire is available from vodafone for £140 brand new...its pushing your budget up a lil bit but that price includes £15 pounds worth of credit...so i guess the phone is about £125...

at least in terms of branding its a lil bit more well known...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] busterdan:
Yeah the Wildfire was the first one I thought of going for but having seen this San Francisco I am very tempted... as long as I can get it unlocked it will be fine.... even better if I can root/reflash it to dump all the Orange branding.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rjm2k:
wildfire is more limited than the SF due to the screen resolution, guy at work is gutted because he can't get Angry Birds on his wildfire.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ngagephone:
You can get it unlock on ebay i did and here is the unlock item number 180584164380 its wipes the HTC Wildfire hands down.
[Desire HD General] Planescape:
Hi there

I got my Desire HD last week from MPD with an upgrade on my o2 contract. Generally it all works pretty well and I'm very happy with the phone, what I have noticed however is that the phone reception is actually worse than it was on my Touch Pro! On my drive home from work I used to be (using a hands free kit) make the odd phone call even though it's a fairly remote office, but with the new phone the reception is at least one bar lower or it can't find any reception meaning I can't make calls.

Anyone else experienced signal issues on any phone network?
[Desire HD General] Planescape:
I was hoping this wasn't just me, looks like it is though :S
[Desire HD General] wakers:
Mine seems as good if not marginally better than some of my previous phones (hd2 - Iphone 4)...

Could be a temp issue with a Cell tower or something ???
[Desire HD General] rossysaurus:
My signal is far more shaky than my old Nokia n96. Not sure why yet but the phone seems to have a pretty bad death grip problem. Loses 2 bars of signal and a bar of wifi.
[Desire HD General] cyberpedz:
Mine also seems to be worse than my htc magic
[Desire HD General] inuk2004:
Better than my HD2 (Vodafone Impaired OS) and the girlfriends Hero (2.1)
[Desire HD General] hdpaddy:
Same problem here,

I've tried several simcards from diffirent carriers, no luck though.

I don't know if this solution has come through this board yet, but what i've found out @ some other board is,

Menu > Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Mode

this option i've put it on "only gsm" instead "only WCDMA" or "automatic WCDMA/GSM".

for 2 days i've had a pretty good signal without losses, @ the moment i,ve the same probs again, since i am listening MP by earphone.

i will try again without earphone and update this reply asap.

edit:

well, i've put the earphone off and no response, still no phone signal.

a reset will do the thing for me. i't pretty annoying.
[Desire HD General] Planescape:
Thanks for the response, i'll try the gsm only option and see how it is at work.

If that works the next thing I need to do is get it to stop asking me to choose an alternative network when it can't find o2.
[Desire HD General] hdpaddy:
click under the option "network mode" on mobile carriers/providers and then on automatical select.
[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
tbh most phones made out of metal are more sensitive to the so called 'death grip' is the DHD like the legend where the antennas are built into the rubber covers ?

cause when i had the legend reception is good until you hold it in ways that more or less completely block the antenna locations on the legend blocking the top would drop wifi and blocking the bottom cover would drop the mobile reception.

while you notice it i never once had it make me drop a call even in low reception areas. however i would imagine most unibody phones would have similar issues because you know metal tends to shield the antennas :P
[Desire HD General] nmyseteroious:
Yes, the antennas are built into the rubber covers

My phones also being replaced tomorrow to see if I can get one with a working GPS. I have told them that I'm prepared to go through their whole stock until I find one that works :P

Either that or give me a white one, that way I know it's a more recent manufacture and will hopefully have the GPS fixed.

Wish me luck.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ancient geek:

Hate to boast but my GPS works really well ... :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Logicalstep:
Really?

What's the longest journey you have been on? and have you deviated from the set course?

This is when I see it at it's worst.

Just for you information as well, it seems a bit strange to me. The replacement phone they have sent it a cross between Eclair and Froyo. It says 2.1 update in the software screen, but it has a GPS button and new task manager? Bit stange

It also comes with more Orange Crapware. And here's a slightly interesting thing. On my first SGS, I noticed it had a kind of springy sound inside, if you gave it a light flick it would have the very slight reverberation, as if there was a spring inside that was attached only at one end. The new one doesn't have any such sound / feeling to it.

I wonder if there is a connection to the GPS being crap on the first device?

I'll do a proper test of the next few days and report back.

My SGS firmware/software exactly as yours is-only got it 6 weeks ago.

Havent been any vast distance on gps but mucked up with it seeing how fast it picks up satellites,trying it out on localish roads and turning off bypasses for example the exit before it tells me too (cos I know the roads) it generally has worked out the route by the time Im on the roundabout at the top of the slip road. Bearing in mind Im in a Transit usually so not moving that fast to start with... Does all I need, and well. Apps like Layar work well too.

Hopefully for you this version sorts out the hassle with GPS.

Hi!

Can someone please give me information with screens how can i change my radio to some custom radio, cause my battery runs out too quikly!

i have stock rom 3.14.04666 radio is 2.15.50.14 and i have spl. something like 3.14

So i think i need information how to change spl, then Radio.

I wanna use some Android builts but now this is very sad cause battery wont last than 10hours with medium use.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
You can't change the radio version on stock ROM 3.14 sir.

Fore changing Radio you need HSPL, the one who isn't compatible with spl 3.03!

But if you have a High battery consumption it is strange, most users of radio 2.15 are satisfy. Try to clean your SD (Format)

[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
There are extensive pictures from a full tear-down of a Desire Z at http://tjworld.net/blog/htc-desire-z-tear-down

Significantly, the picture at http://tjworld.net/attachment/blog/htc-desire-z-tear-down/IMG_0277-small.jpg shows that the DZ has the same 4 GB NAND chip as the G2. So despite the specs of the G2 saying it has 4 GB storage, and the DZ "only" 1.5 GB, in fact they both have the same amount. The difference is that on both phones, there is 4 GB on the chip but only 1.5 GB available.

Hopefully this can put an end to any debate on this subject, which has raged ever since the "difference" in specs was first announced.

There have been extensive discussions on the G2 forum as to where this "missing" memory has "gone".

Edit - the explanation for the "missing" memory now seems to be available, it's in the Wiki and also at http://tjworld.net/wiki/Android/HTC/EMMC/UnderstandingUserCapacity

Edit - never mind
[G2 and Desire Z General] muminisko:
Cuz this is the same phone :) Only difference is Sense UI (DZ) and radio band
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Yeah I know, but I think a lot of people still don't realise this, as can be seen from some of the questions asked. Even the specs appear different according to the HTC website (i.e. internal memory 4 GB for G2 vs 1.5 GB for DZ), leading many people to believe the phones were significantly different.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyz2897:
Be careful having your phone around any kind of metal machining/grinding work. The magnet in the speaker will attract any metal dust/particles nearby and the holes in the battery cover and mesh over the speaker opening are too big to stop the smaller stuff. I'm on my third back speaker because of this. Luckily they're easy to change and the place I ordered from sells a minimum quantity of 5 per order.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laydros:
Pretty sure it was a sarcastic joke. If both your phone and your friends phone sound bad, more than likely it isn't a physical problem with the speaker, and if you aren't running the exact same custom kernel, that probably isn't the issue either.

If they speaker never sounded good to you, it is simply that you are just noticing that the 1/2" cell phone speaker sounds like a dog turd, which is sadly to be expected.

The EVO speaker is one of the best phone speakers I have ever heard, most are smaller and even more tinny sounding.

I just purchased one of these units as a color eReader with WiFi, 800 x 600, touch screen.

Turning it on I was expecting typical eReader app., but instead there was a full blown Android (missing market though). The eReader is just a Kodo App.

Android 1.5 Cupcake, 500mhz, 2 gig flash, SD

This is the Canadian version, the US version indeed presents you with a eReader App as the Home screen, but does have the Android menu.

Flashes are available for both Canada and US.

The Canadian version has ES File Explorer so adding apps. isn't hard, but the US version Needs Android SDK to get an App installed. It appears I can switch to root in a terminal.

I'm having some issuse with networking though. It surfs no problem and can download. But an RDP client connects through a local network, but can't connect through the Internet, just resets the connection. Also it can't even download an ebook from Kobo,, just does a 1.8k download, reset, 1.8 download, reset and so on. Pretty bad you can't even use it for what it was meant. The US version appears to download books from Barnes & Noble, but it's to difficult to try it with RDP.

I'm looking at trying to update to a newer Android for it and could use some pointers.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FredOak3:
Go to the Pandigital site, go to download and scroll to the bottom, you will see where you can get the update to a tablet rather than a reader.

Couple of cautions though...it voids your warranty, you will lose the PDN's original launcher screen, and mine anyway updated to Eclair.

But I did it any way and have been able to load pretty much anything, however I can't get angry birds to work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terminander:
You must have the white Pandigital Novel. I believe it has Eclair builtin, and just butcher it with a Barnes & Nobel home/launcher. Upgrading to the OP flash gives you a normal home/launcher and the ability to add apps. Have you got Market running on it?

The black novel has similar hardware but less ram. It has Cupcake builtin and a butcher home/launcher. Upgrading to OP, still just gives you Cupcake. I have Market running on it, but need the ugly hack to get it registered.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdparent:
heard anything about the 9" one from QVC?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terminander:
From the picture it looks like its running the OP Platforum, with a B&N app as the Ereader. Specs. would say it needs at least Donut, but my Kobo app. on the Canadian version requires donut too, but they managed the run it on cupcake.

I like the 6" screen for reading, but a 9" tablet with the right aspect 4:3 would be awesome. I have a 10" zt180, but its a 16:9 or worse and looks long and skinny. Really messes up icon spacing when you swith portrait to landscape.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdparent:
I think 16/9 is a great size for the multimedia aspect in landscape and the reader will be great in portrait. Just my opinion though. To each his own.
