Hmm your point is well received.

So let me put your curiosity at ease then.

1. capacitive touch screen and buttons at the bottom are nonfunctional sometimes, and other times, completely unresponsive despite the rest of the phone working.

2 . Screen has pixelation while loading up programs, this is on stock rom too.

3. Strong pervasive smell of plastic permeates the phone. Like something is burning up in there.

4. And I can't overclock.

So, knowing the above, I'm confident you'll agree with me that a warranty exchange is in order. I.e. I'd be killing 4 birds with one stone. Now, I just wanted to make sure that I don't exchange my brand new piece of crap for a worse off used piece of crap because I did buy the poc, and albeit defective, is still a new piece of crap, and mine.

And if it could be OC'ed, then I'm in luck!
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
I get ya on the refurb device, I wouldn't want one either. On this one, i assume you have applied the oc kernel and scripting, and then oc'd and experienced the issues you are having. Did you then remove the scripting and flash a different kernel? If you didn't undo the changes you made to oc in the first place, its my understanding you will still have issues. You could even try to odin back to stock and see if that fixes the feeezing, and load your rom of choice from there. I tell ya again, the current froyo builds need no oc or lag fix for that matter, they are blazing fast.

[Vibrant General] techboydino:
If you plan on keeping the phone get a SquareTrade warranty. They are pricey but usually they have a 30% coupon floating around. Saved me many times in the past. Well worth it IMO.
[Vibrant General] a4 moda:
Okay as far as reverting back to stock, I had to disable voodoo, then I flashed another kernel that works, such as the jacs kernel or the r3 tw rom.

But as far as scripting, I've never had to do that. So maybe I'm missing something here. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thank you.
[Vibrant General] a4 moda:
Hmmm. Didn't think of that. I already have insurance on the phone from tmobile. Would square trade be preferable, or would it supplement the tmobile insurance?

Thanks the tip
[Vibrant General] Br1cK'd:
Its a little difficult to grab the link cause I'm on my phone atm, but depending on what oc kernel you used I believe some require an init script to be placed in a specific location on the phone for oc to work. Thats what i was referring to, but if youve flashed another kernel or back to stock, i dont think it matters. I could be wrong, not interested in oc'ing again so I'm not keeping up with those kernels any longer

Sent from my Vibrant running Macnut R10
[Vibrant General] a4 moda:
Ic. I've used the TW r3 oc kernel. 1.0 works perfectly, but 1.2 spazzes and freezes on me.

Thanks again. Much appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z General] miracol:
Hello everybody!

I have a question, and I guess it is not that hard for you to answer.

I want to buy a Android-Phone, perhaps a HTC Desire Z.

One thing that would be important for me, is to stop once and for all the problem of importing and exporting (and merging) contacts. So I would like to use the Gmail-Contacts (I have a lot of adresses and phones already in Gmail-Contacts).

Now my main question is... does HTC-Sense use the Gmail-contacts, or does it only import them? If it does only import them... that doesn't seem so great for my usage... I would have duplicated data... and would have to export and import them in two years and deal with duplicates/merging Contacts if I choose to buy a Milestone 3 for example (because I use Gmail I like to update new email-adresses there, so I defenitly want to update Gmail-contacts too). (I know Gmail-contacts has a feature that does automated merging of duplicates... but that sound a bit scary to me if it messes some hundreds of contacts I have).

- - -

I love to hear that it uses the Gmail-contacts... that would be so great, because HTC-Sense sounds good otherwise.

Additional question (not that important thought): If it does use Gmail-contacts I guess I could forget my phone at home, ask someone his phone, log him out, log me in, and I would see all my contacts.

I would appreciate any answers.

Thanks in advance!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheRomMistress:
Android uses google sync...the main way to merge your contacts IMO. No worries.

In the future, please direct these kind of questions in an existing thread. There is no reason to create a new thread just for this.

* iPhone 3G running iOS 3.1.2, 3.1.3, 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2 and 4.1.

[HD2 General] Danielfr:
Hi,

Since a few days my screen is freezing very often, almost 10 times a day. It is only the screen that is frozen, not the hardware buttons. To unfreeze it, I have to push the power button a few times very fast .....till the next time it will freeze again.

I don't understand what happened because I haven't add or removed a program since a few weeks. I have done a hard reset and I have updated my rom but after having installed all my programs, this behaviour came back.

I am afraid that it could be a hardware problem.

Any idea what to do ?

Thanks

HD2 Screen Problems

I have the EXACT SAME problem....

I solved mine by slamming the screen face down into a table; although I wouldn't suggest this as I have damaged part of my lcd screen. But the Touch Screen works 24/7 now.

It seems to be a common problem with HD2

SEND it in to HTC if you have warranty.. if you don't. Then S.O.L.
[HD2 General] Danielfr:
But my problem is not totally similar because it also happens when my phone is already on.

I have to admit that the problem began a few days after having installed - but in the meantime already removed- Android.
[HD2 General] kristiang:
Try pressing the "off" button to put the phone to "sleep",

then push the "off" button again to "wake" the phone,

can you use the touch now? try multiple times to conclude.

Next try waking the phone by either one of the other buttons,

can you use touch now? try multiple times to conclude.

On my HD 2 it is the off button that doesnt wake the phone properly so the lcd wakes but not the touch screen..

I dont yet now if this is a soft or hardware issue related to the "Off" button.. but many folks have the issue now a days
[HD2 General] Garrylufc:
Had the exact same problem.....its the sd card. Get a new one format to fat 32 default then try again with Android. It worked for me..no more screen freezes:)
[HD2 General] Danielfr:
Yes, it was what I am doing. I don't think it has something to do with the "off button" because it happens also when my phone is already on , and sometimes

my screen begins to start other applications that I have pressed.
[HD2 General] Danielfr:
Thanks.

I will try it and let you know.

Daniel
[HD2 General] Danielfr:
I have tried; had only one freezing today. Will see in the next few days. Maybe

because of the week end I haven't used so intensive my HD2.

Daniel
[HD2 General] Danielfr:
No , after having changed my SD card, I still have the same problem
[HD2 General] blackthunder:
Hi everybody.

I solved my freezing just installing memMaid with default settings and scheduling a run in the night time. Moreover I scheduled a soft reset after that, not with memMaid because I didn't find such an option but with a little exe I found somewhere here called schedulereset.exe.

I hope this can help someone.
[HD2 General] c0r1tr0n:
Post soem specifications

Eeey there,

I understand you have issue's with a freezing screen on your HD2. Pherhaps something may is wrong with the Drivers or the ROM. Or may there is a application running in the background that isn't stable and causes the screen to freeze.

Could you may post some specifications about the ROM you are running on your phone, wich radio you use etc.

Regards,

c0r1tr0n
[HD2 General] kslakhani:
I think it only happens in custom roms
[HD2 General] Danielfr:
Maybe,

I have already used different ROMS ( I am using now MIRI's Rom) but it was working fine till a few weeks ago. I have done a Hard reset, tried with 2 new cooked ROMS and installed the

SAME programs I was using - they were working fine till a few weeks ago- and

again the same freezing problem.

It should be a hardware problem.
[HD2 General] 10507:
I think it is some kind of hardware problem, as I have the same screen freezing problem. For the last two days, my HD2 wouldn't respond to my touch at all. I reflashed my custom ROM, which was no help. Then flash to the newly updated ROM from Tmobile, but my HD2 still wouldn't respond. So I think the problem with unresponsive screen and freeze are somehow hardware related.
[HD2 General] kslakhani:
right, it seems to be a hardware issue

but i think try to use stock rom with the stock radio wont let you down hopefully
[HD2 General] jaypeg123:
I have the same, but it seems to be the extended battery that caus it, so it maybe is a voltage prob.

NONE of these have been downloaded from zune( as far as i know) and even direct ripped CD`s didnt always work.

Fail = No artist background

[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
I know, it's weird.

Many of us have the same problem. Hope Zune will be updated to solve this issue.

Did you try on your Zune (PC) to right click on a specific album and select "Find info concerning this album"? Sometimes it helps.

Also a soft named Zune Social Tagger can help. But it also messes up the tags sometimes (because tags used by Zune are themselves wrong)
[Windows Phone 7 General] dov74:
Following the probelms I had with background not changing and no album art showing on "now playing" screen, I spent some time with this last night.

I wiped all the music from my phone, went through a chunk of albums and did the "find info for this album" thing then synced back with my phone (of course also making sure the setting under music and video on the phone "connect with Zune" is on).

Now I have all album art showing on now playing screen (finally!) and I also have backgrounds changing as well for most artists/albums (although it normally just shows 1 background per artist/album).

Major and newer artists like Foo Fighters, Oasis, Kasabian, The Who, Friendly Fires all change when songs are played. Others like Ocean Colour Scene and Sneaker Pimps are just black. Not sure If my tags are wrong on these or if Zune just doesn't have any images for these artists (is there any way to check if Zune has images)? Will have another play at the weekend!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tom Servo:
I don't even have such a setting.

Try changing the Android ROM,,,, I'm using the Mdeejay_FroYo_Sense_v._2.3_Clean its the best one so far.... no prblm no lagging,,, its working great!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] amwebby:
I'm starting a new thread on this because I think it is important and to gather together findings on this.

From early reports it seems that rSAP is not working for some people after upgrading to Froyo.

rSAP is not part of any Android build but is built in to the Galaxy S by Samsung, which is why it is the only Android phone to support this.

Samsung seem to say it is still there but all the reports I have read suggest otherwise, although one member has posted on this forum saying it works for him. This leaves us with four possibilities:

Some Bluetooth settings have changed which disable rSAP (I can find none.)

Some network settings have changed which disable rSAP. As rSAP is a GSM only protocol, which is why it doesn't work on 3, this is a possibility. I see the network setting is now for Auto GSM/WCDMA mode, which did cause problems on a previous Nokia with rSAP. Possibly changing to GSM only could resolve this.

Various builds of Froyo do not include rSAP. It is possible, for example, that the 3 build does not and the upcoming O2 build may include it.

Samsung really have made a rick and left it out of the build.

Currently my Mercedes-Benz is in for a respray and I have no way of testing any of this.

I'd be interested in hearing others experiences. This is a serious issue for me as I purchased the Galaxy S precisely because it did support rSAP. If it is now removed then the reason I bought the phone is gone and Samsung owe me a refund under the sale of goods act.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] amwebby:
Just had a reply from Samsung support who say that if rSAP isn't working it is a software issue and to take the phone to a Samsung service centre. Given that the rSAP profile is a Samsung thing and not an Android thing perhaps this means some Froyo installations fail to initialize the rSAP profile.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Akeni:
So, for the avoidance of doubt, has anyone actually confirmed they've got rSAP working when running Froyo?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] amwebby:
Someone has... reply #7

[Galaxy S I9000 General] amwebby:
So far all the reports of rSAP continuing to work after Froyo seem to be VW users. Mercedes-Benz, Audi and possibly Porsche seem to be the users reporting issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] CEPi:
Just installed the VW 3C8035730A module to replace the rSap only 5N0035730C.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyellx:
welcome to the N1 World.

here is some stuff that you should do/try

- flash amon ra recovery 2.0.0

- try miui

- make nandroid backup

- factory reset/wipe -> flash cm nighty / r1

- choose keep going cm or fall back to miui

(i think cm is better cuz its more "stock" than miui)

okay now get some root-Apps

- Adfree

- Titanium Backup

- CacheMate

- LEDHack

- Root Explorer / eStrongs File Explorer

some play some with you Nexus and if you feel you need more space edit the LCD-Density (with eStrongs oder with adb)

eStrongs

1.Settings -> Root Options

2.now navigate to /system/ and open build.prop

3.navigate to ro.sf.lcd_density = 240

4.change the 240 to 190

5. reboot

ADB:

1.Set up Android SDK

2.

adb shell sed -i 's/ro.sf.lcd_density = .*/ro.sf.lcd_density = 190/g' /system/build.prop

3. reboot

Get Metamorph and some Morphs. Quicksettings is also a nice free app.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravufo:
what does the lcd density change? I always see people changing values but never understood what it stands for and what it changes =\
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sublimaze:
lcd density changer increases your screen pixel density so you squeeze more pixels -- and therefore more text/pictures/etc -- onto the display, which means less scrolling up/down/left/right. however, not all apps support it so you'll occasionally run into graphical hiccups
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravufo:
hmm I see, alright thanks a lot :)

EDIT: wait so the higher the lcd density, the bigger resolution we get? or the other way around? that other guy is changing it from 240 to 190, how will it change?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranova:
190 and 200 are popular ones. its backwards logic, lower it is the more space you get to play with

get spare parts and uncheck compat mode to make it work in most apps

Alright, got it, thanks a lot ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyellx:
190 is perfect cuz you still see the green light (buttons) from Quicksetting.

(missing when you change to 180)

my setup is 190 density cols 7 rows 8. Keep in Mind with ADW Launcher (integrated in CM) you can resize you widgets.

like spanning a 2x1 widget to 4x1 or even 8x1. (for stuff like Battsatt or NoteWidget)
