The Youtube update made it do that. I uninstalled the update and reverted back to the original one that came with the phone and no more problems.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawaiian.monzta:
So it didn't happen by default. It happened cuz you kept switching the orientation one after another. I'm not saying I'm okay with the so called bug what I am saying is maybe you shouldn't be doing that to the phone. No user is going to constantly flip the phones orientation and try to"make" something go wrong
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmw407:
it's not just when changing orientation. Mine was buggy as soon as I hit the back button to exit out of a video. Like I said, it was the new Youtube version that was buggy.

[Desire HD Accessories] noomski:
This is my first post on XDA so a big HI to all...

I think this is an excellent car holder due to the fact that this one is very minimal and by the looks of things... it could support a DHD in a case. I could be wrong but the lower 'arms' look flexible enough to take a DHD thats a few mm larger. Perhaps someone could confirm.

Furthermore, if a manufacturer could please produce a desk charger that supports cases on phones since i think a lot of people, including me, would be interested in this.
[Desire HD Accessories] Pepper90:
Do anybody know if we can use a HD2 carholder for our DHD?
[Desire HD Accessories] llcooljazz:
I do know - yes you can!
[Desire HD Accessories] zonenscheinli:
you mean the 'HTC CU S400'?
[Desire HD Accessories] fubofo:
Agreed, although I think a combination of the CU S400 'stand' with this 'body / holder' would be perfect as the CU S400 mount and stand is great but the holder gets in the way of the buttons....
[Desire HD Accessories] onesolo:
It may look crap but in terms of not hiding the connections or the power button, it's much better, due the 3 points of holding the DHD...

and it's much cheaper (even more if bought on another webstore)
[Desire HD Accessories] fubofo:
True, the only issue I have with it is the 'arm'. It doesnt look too flexible.

To be honest I'm currently using the car holder for my old XDA Orbit 2.

All I have done is strech it open slightly to fit the DHD and it is great! I have full access to all buttons it swivels, pivots, rotates and flexes to all positions! It even holds the DHD pretty tightly without making any marks

I'm just worried that during a very large bump it may slip out so would prefer to have something like this with the 3-point 'holder' of the offical DHD.

If someone could make something like this......

and throw in an official HTC charger and audio jack I would definately buy one.
[Desire HD Accessories] Bonzo:
Nice specs!

[Desire HD Accessories] onesolo:
You still can't post links cause you are a novice in the forum

About that craddle looks very nice, but for me that use the DHD to output music to my music phono input from my car, it's no good.

It would be cool if the cradle was able to plug an independent 3.5mm phono cable. That way, it's a crap.

Other thing is, I always use the DHD on GPS mode, in landscape. Don't feel any security with cradle when in landscape mode.
[Desire HD Accessories] Trig0r:
DHD on order, just poking around to see what the deal is with car kits and the like.

Got a rubbery case for my HD2 so always had to take it out, put it in the cradle and then back again when I got out of the car, not a huge issue but sliding the phone in and out of the cradle eventually cut away at the rubbery skin on the HD2, presumably clipping the DHD in and out of an official or at least close too, kit will cause similar damage to the phone?
[Desire HD Accessories] nmyseteroious:
Probably not the same problem, since DHD doesn't have the rubbery skin but an aluminum case instead. However, if the kit is poorly made, I guess it could scratch the aluminum case.
[Desire HD Accessories] dmh2010:
I can categorically state that this holder works with the DHD, and it doesnt block any of the connectors or buttons : http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/windowseat-handsfree

It has fully adjustable clamps at the back that can accomodate the Desire HD no problem, and the holder holds the DHD firmly. I had my DHD in one of these earlier this week in a Carphonewarehouse store.

Nonetheless, I think I am still going to wait for the official one as I like the idea of this magical cable that "tells" the phone to switch to Car mode automatically. But for those that dont care so much about that, I can confirm this Griffin holder really does do the trick. CPW sell it for about £30 but I am sure it can be obtained for less on the internet.

can this official mount swivel to portrait?
[Desire HD Accessories] iknorr:
Im looking for a car dock/mount just like the one for the HD2.

HTC have said they have no information on one being officially made. Im very very disappointed with this. I almost bought the HD2 version but HTC said its definitely not compatible because its an extremely tight fit and also i dont think it has the special cable thingy.

The official car holder ...S440... is extremely similar to my HTC Hero car holder. The holder part is identical except for the extra size.

I bought the hero car holder on ebay for around 3 euro including 5 screen protectors.

There are similar holders for the desirehd starting to pop up on ebay bundled with a case, charger , screen protectors etc for around 10 euro.

Why would anyone buy the HTC over the cheap ebay stuff?

Quality? - My hero holder lasted a year and is still going strong with its new owner.

Damage?- None so far.

BUT one thing that stands out for me is in the fine detail describing the charging cable that comes with the S440 kit.

"- Special Power cord (Inserting into a Desire HD auto activates “Car Panel” screen and connects to a paired Bluetooth carkit or headset)"

Does this mean that it will turn on bluetooth also ( from the off state)?

Either way its sounds good to me- if i can buy the cable separately, i would buy the cheap ebay holder.

This is another holder for the hero.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320548780361#ht_1206wt_1139

If you scroll down to the product ( discontinued now) you can see it has a detachable holder section on the 5th picture. Does anyone know where to get these detachable holders, on their own, for the desire hd?

They appear to have the same connection as mine but i have only found them bundled with other stuff....
[Desire HD Accessories] spadival:
I saw a video on youtube with Desire HD being used with the HD2 car kit. Didnt seem like a tight fit at all. Check the video to see for yourself (search for 's400 desire HD'). Only downside I can see is that the power button may not be accessible!!
[Desire HD Accessories] iknorr:
power button isnt accessible. I wonder how it would hold up if i removed a piece of the top clip/holding part to expose it. MEh, to much of a risk. I also think the thing is too tight.

He has to wiggle it to get it out. (thats what she said ;) )

Also, i dont think that cable/connetor is the "special one" mentioned on htcs site

Got my HR GLOBAL 9 yesterday, looking good so far.

I usually don't like the universal-kind holders with resizeable clamps but couldn't wait any longer for HR to bring out a dedicated desire hd frame.

This one is a really good fit, was shaking it violently and th phone didn't get loose or drop from the clamps.
[Desire HD Accessories] xozzx:
Whats the score with the official CU S440 mount. Ive had one on order since before xmas but cant find a release date for it. A few websites, mobilefun.com etc say delivery in 9-14 days, but it has been this for about 2 weeks now. Has it been released yet or does anyone have a release date??
[Desire HD Accessories] DeathJester:
Mine was delivered today. I'll mount it in the car and drive around some excessively pot-holed country lanes, and let you know how many times I stop to make sure I'm not about to smash the screen on my door handle :p

EDIT: Received a message yesterday saying the holder had been shipped; Review to follow tomorrow, if I can get an hours driving tonight.
[Desire HD Accessories] DeathJester:
Ok, 5 minute review of the HTC CU S440 Car Upgrade Kit (Link to Mobilefun, from whom I purchased mine). EDIT: I should point out that the marketing blurb at the bottom of the linked page is incorrect; Neither the "arm" or "pedestal shaft" (same thing?) are adjustable. The only adjustable part on the mounting is the ball and socket joint, directly behind the bracket.

Initially, I was sceptical. The packaging was flimsy and barren inside (just parts stuffed in plastic bags), but then again I'm not buying a pretty box for my phone, I'm buying a car bracket. So, I unwrapped everything and put it together. The phone bracket and car mounting are separate pieces; The lowermost picture in the link shows how the bracket fits onto the mounting (two tabs inside centre of the bracket). At first, I thought I had a bad unit as the bracket wouldn't slide all of the way down onto the retaining tabs, but I guess this is a tight fit so the bracket won't come loose during driving. Either way, it seemed sturdy once assembled.

The charging cable does indeed pop up the Car Panel when you plug it in, which I immediately disabled. The car panel doesn't rotate to landscape, so It's pointless to me! HUGE oversight there, HTC. Plus, I'm can't swap the Premium nav icon for the Google Navigation app.

Anyway, so I put my phone in the holder, too hold of the retaining mounting and immediately shook the whole thing up and down like it was a beer I'd give to my worst enemy. The phone didn't budge at all, the bracket held firm. The ball and socket joint moved a little, but tightening it solved that. I'm not brave enough to swing it around to see if it'll withstand high centrifugal force, as that's not common for a car to experience, but other than that it seemed solid. Removing the phone from the bracket isn't difficult.

The suction mounting is very firm. I drove down a few potholed roads, down a couple of curbs, over some speedbumps, and nothing even hinted at falling free, not even the cable (there's a small suction cup on there, too, to keep the whole lot from flapping around). I should mention that my car has a reputation for firm suspension, so I felt every jolt, even if the phone didn't.

The only issue I can find with the mounting is more to do with my car than anything else; I drive a Hyundai i20, which has a very deep dashboard. Mounting the phone in the usual bottom-right corner meant that I had to lean until I was almost face-planting my steering wheel to use the phone. The stalk really is only 3" max, IMHO not long enough. With the suction mounted cable, however, I'd be tempted to move that onto the driver's window and see if that helps usability (obviously not obstructing the rearview mirror etc). I'll have another play tonight and see what I can come up with.

Post below if you have any questions / ideas for testing!
[Desire HD Accessories] MattSkeet:
Question. Do you have any protective case on your phone? If so does it fit the bracket. I think this is the most important question ...
[Desire HD Accessories] DeathJester:
Good question. No, I have no case or screen protector on my phone. I use the HTC-branded leather wallet instead of a permanent enclosing case.

The fitting is very tight, especially around the two corner mounting points. There's no give in it at all. I seriously doubt anything thicker than an Invisible Shield-style skin would fit in this bracket, and I'm not even sure there's enough room for that.

If you're against removing your DHD from whatever case you protect your phone with, this isn't a car kit you'll be happy with. If you have a leather pouch like me, I doubt you'll find one more secure for the money.
[Desire HD Accessories] MattSkeet:
Well I have barely there case so even if it's not going to fit its very easy to take it off..

Thanks for your reply tho.

[Desire HD Accessories] gamesmachine:
I have also got this car cradle, cost me 28 quid all in, I'm happy with it, sucker can stick to anything, seriously not going to fall off your car window any time soon!

The cradle is a very tight fit, and its not going to fall out. I can see the arm length being annoying like mentioned above, but for me its ok. No way any skin will fit, I have an exspect silicone skin, I just remove it, as there is very little chance of damage to the phone when its stuck to your windshield....driving habits aside.

I like the auto car panel launch, but I totally agree with the stupid lack of landscape in navigation, but the screen of the DHD makes navigation a breeze even in portrait. Besides you can just disable it and use Google.

To the people saying its cheap compared to the hd2 car holder, it is because there are two, the 60quid, metal one that's very similar to the expensive hd2 one, and this reasonable one, just wanted to say this is not HTC's only option, just the more value oriented one ;)

Hope this helps.

Just got my cu 440, in truth £28 is too much to pay for a car bracket and charger. But it's v.good so I'm happy. I'm using an invisible maximum cover shield and I'll squeeze in nicely. If you're looking for a charger and bracket I can confirm this is not a bad choice at all.

Swyped from my superfast, LeeDrOid DHD, on the XDA app.
[Desire HD Accessories] DeathJester:
You say £28 is too much for a bracket and charger, but I had to replace the screen on my Himalaya when the generic mount (vent mounted squeeze-to-close ratchet type) failed and the phone fell face-first onto my gear stick. I don't see that happening with this bracket, and £28 including charger is a lot less than £5 for bracket, £5 for charger, £100+ for screen, digitizer, and time to replace the screen. That £20, to me, is worth the cost of not having a phone while the screen is broken.

N.B. My generic brand car bracket failed; I make no claims regarding any other generic or branded car bracket.
[Desire HD Accessories] EmptyArea:
Sorry I'm still right. It is just imo, but I'm trying to consider it in a balanced way. ~£15 would be right.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jeffroiscool:
Hey there, since yesterday I'm a proud owner of this nice phone with android and as I'm crazy about tweaking and stuff I want to get the best out of my phone.

Question 1.

What can I achieve by getting Android 2.1 on my phone?

Question 2.

Is it possible to make a decent backup/flash backup of the branded stuff that comes with my phone? If yes how could I achieve this?

Question 3.

If it's possible to safely backup (to be able to keep waranty intact somewhat) can I get the upgrade for 2.1 NOW? Because I still don't have it (slow ass T-Mobile doing it by serial number or something)

Question 4.

Rooting, is it a good idea? What can I achieve with rooting my device (I know it gives me root access but what can I do further if I have root access?)

Question 5.

If I ever brick my device, is it still possible to get the original firmware on it?

Those are my questions for now :0 Hope you people can help! :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] li_boud:
Question 1.

What can I achieve by getting Android 2.1 on my phone?

Better performance, A little better theme than 1.6, better touch response, better battery life, access to Android 2.x only apps, somewhat improved bluetooth, live wallpaper and few more..

Question 2.

Is it possible to make a decent backup/flash backup of the branded stuff that comes with my phone? If yes how could I achieve this?

Root your phone and use titanium backup..

Question 3.

If it's possible to safely backup (to be able to keep waranty intact somewhat) can I get the upgrade for 2.1 NOW? Because I still don't have it (slow ass T-Mobile doing it by serial number or something)

You can back up normal data (and also apps from market in android 2.1) like contacts, messages, settings etc through Se back and restore utility.

For backing up system apps, or upgrading to 2.1 out of turn, you need to root your phone, that will theoretically void your warranty.

Question 4.

Rooting, is it a good idea? What can I achieve with rooting my device (I know it gives me root access but what can I do further if I have root access?)

Wonderful idea, only if you are familiar with system tweaking and somewhat familiar with linux. And you are willing to take risks.

for example -

a) You can simply install some very useful root only apps like titanium backup, root explorer, app2sd etc to manage your phone contents.

risk associated: very low to moderate

b) you can even change basic framework and theme of your phone, remove bloatware that comes with phone and use terminal emulator to have (almost) full fledged linux console. etc

risk associated: Moderate to High

c) When it comes out, you can even get custom roms on your phone

risk associated: Very high to Fatal

Question 5.

If I ever brick my device, is it still possible to get the original firmware on it?

Depends on how bad the phone is messed up, at the end all depends on your knowledge of using the right methods and right tools.

If you can get the phone to recognized by SEUS/PC Companian/Flash tool you can (hopefully) repair/reflash it with firmware.

Hope it helps..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jeffroiscool:
Yeah it helps, I'm not afraid to toy with my new phone and I do have linux experience. The only thing I want to be sure of is if I can reset everything in case of a brick or something if I ever need to send the phone back to Sony :)

So if I use the sony ericsson updater my phone gets fully restored to their stuff? :P (Well not if I edit my serial-number to get 2.1 quickly so theoraticly they can always find out I fiddled with it I guess.

So what I'm actually planning to do is:

1. Have a backup ready for the thing above :)

2. Get Android 2.1

3. Root Android 2.1

4. Remove safe to remove Bloatware

5. Get a custom theme going. As I'm seeing so far the HTC Theme was ported somewhat? I definiatly want a good homescreen. How 1.6 is now sucks.

6. Have a method of EASILY organizing all my applications I'm going to install after doing the above.

7. Install apps

8. Customize to taste.

So to get 2.1 now I would need to edit that serial which I can do if I get rooted first which probably requires Exploid because SuperOneClick was 2.0+?

Rooting 2.1 is SuperOneClick thingy.

Removing safe stuff with Titanium Backup.

Get that theme and start tweaking.

Finding good homescreen/launcher tools.

Get my apps again (Appbrain ftw)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] li_boud:
Yeah, you can use generic product code, or generic build.prop you can even find generic FW with flashtool on this forum.

PS: for 1.6 rooting Exploid works wonders..
