Oh, have u rooted urs ? I'm swe BTW e du de ? :D

And you may end up leaving your phone in the wash :D
[Wildfire Android Development] bassmonkey:
i was under the impression that as long as you flashed the right RUU they couldnt tell if it'd been rooted and therefore not void your warantee???
[Wildfire Android Development] Akerhage:
shut up!!! :p
[Wildfire Android Development] Akerhage:
They can see it, but doubt that that may be looking at that...think it depends on luck =)
[Wildfire Android Development] bassmonkey:
ah, think i may have to 'lose' my phone and claim on the insurance then if there's a problem ;)
[Wildfire Android Development] TiiXiboy:
What's ruu if you don't mind if I ask?
[Wildfire Android Development] bassmonkey:
RUU is basically the stock firmware they (HTC or carriers like t mobile) put on the phones, its a exe program instead of a zip file.
[Wildfire Android Development] TiiXiboy:
But what's the difference w/ruu ?

I am running Generic 2.1 on AT&T and I have no 3G after the 2.1 upgrade. What do I do to get it back?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DangerPanda:
Your rogers x10a has different 3g frequencies than the one used by mobilicity, therefore, you will not get 3g unless you get a x10i model.

as mobilicity provides 3g...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbajwa:
You cant use the x10a with mobilicity data

it shows up as edge because it is roaming on the Rogers network

U need the x10i which has the correct frequency for the data.
[Desire General] Blackou:
I have another issue with my desire. Internet speeds on my local evdo network (tested at speedtest.com) are near 1 meg or a ove consistantly. When i use the internet sharing option with the stock usb cable, speeds cosistantly drop to 100k or LOWER. My HTC touch pro was fast enough to watch video onlin e and even play World of Warcraft. The desire is so slow tethered that you can hardly load one web page. Ive stopped syncs, enabled usb debugging, tried pdanet and eztether, nothing speeds it up. Htc cannot explai. It, nor can my carrier. The phone isnt rooted, and is running the stock rom.anybody have a clue as to why this is happening?

[Desire General] _Dennis_:
Well you come off kinda rude to be honest and you give only some of the required info.

When you say your speed drops to less then 100k is that using an app on the phone or on your computer?

What is the signal like while you are teathered?

Is there anything on your computer that could be slowing it down? (Try safe mode and/or another computer)

Also try a different cable?
[Desire General] Blackou:
I didnt mean to come off as rude, i was just a bit frustrated that nobody had responded.

This drop in speed was while using the desires native "internet sharing" function. I also tried using pdanet and eztether, with the same results. I tried a couple different cables, and the slow connection speed persisted. I tried this out on 3 seperate laptops... A new alienware m15x, an older ibm thinkpad, and a hp midsize model. All speed tests before were conducted with th speedtest.net app on my phone, and the speed tests after thethering were done at the speedtest.com website using both mozilla firefox and ie8. I tried booting in safemode, no change in speed. The phone signal was okay both when tethered and when untethered in my house, and i even went as far as sitting within spitting distance of my local cell tower (full bars on the phone there) while sitting in my car. I still had a huge drop in connection speed.

[Desire General] _Dennis_:
Hum, I really am not sure then.....You said you called US Cellular and they don't know either, but could it be them throtleing you somehow?
[Desire General] Blackou:
Yeah, I'm stumped too. US Cellular has no way of knowing at this point if my phone is tethered or NOT, so I can't imagine them throttling it selectively like that. I'm just not sure how to fix the issue, and neither HTC or USCC had any input on it either. Like I said, My HTC TP had an awesome tether speed.... it was the same as my normal EVDO speed on the phone itself.
[Desire General] _Dennis_:
My GSM desire works great teathered so im not sure sorry.
[Epic 4G General] iwantAdollar:
Question is pretty straight foward. Do I have to unroot? Do I lose root if I update and have to wait until the real froyo is rooted?
[Epic 4G General] TorgoJohnson:
Very quickly (perhaps hours) after the official Samsung update becomes available OTA, one of the developers here will surely post a stock rom for Froyo that is already rooted and Clockwork Recovery ready. There will probably be versions flashable by both Odin and Clockwork. Custom roms will be updated soon after that.
[Epic 4G General] nadcicle:
To actually answer your question you would most likely be safe with just using odin back to an older build 2.1 then let the ota take over after you boot in to your homescreen.

However, answering your question completely. Losing root is a big maybe better yet a most likely. There is a root already out that i'm almost positive will work with the official 2.2 also though.
[Epic 4G General] iwantAdollar:
What if I just want to update to froyo using my phone and then root later?
[Epic 4G General] richse:
That would be a bad idea because it's possible that samsung/sprint will have patched all the currently known root exploits. Most likely there will be a flashable zip available on xda within hours of release that will let you maintain root. The froyo update can be altered easily to maintain root but if you use it unmodified to update and then expect to reroot you will likely be screwed.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
So far I have yet to flash one OTA that has intervened with root...though doesn't the exploit effect ADB which google needs to fix..I dont think its that simple to just patch up..
[Epic 4G General] Elixis:
If someone is rooted but has not modifed their phone in any way or removed any stock apps, would they still be able to receive OTA?
[Epic 4G General] richse:
There have not been any major OTAs yet so I don't see why that would be much of an argument that this huge OTA won't kill root. We had OTA's on the hero that preserved root and others that patched it. If you want to go ahead and take your chances with the OTA be my guest, but I was just trying to let the OP know that the risk to reward ratio is way to high in my opinion.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
The ops question is whether or not the OTA would not work if he is rooted..similar to removing stock apps..hence I answered based on that, not maintaining root...
[Epic 4G General] ravizzle:
Sent from my Epic 4G

Yes u will still get ota and it should work fine. U might need to reroot after but that's all. The 2.2 ota might break root on ur current setup, but I don't think the update will patch the root exploit so u should be able to run the same oneclick and get root again.
[Epic 4G General] bomix:
how about we wait till it happens? it could all change depending on what the OTA update does to our phones. The advice has always been wait ... Wait.. and wait.. when it is safe then do the OTA.
[Epic 4G General] richse:
Maybe you should try reading the OP again. It says:

He was asking a lot more than if he would get the OTA. I answered his question and gave some advice. You chimed in with some crap about never having lost root with an OTA. That was crap advice so I responded.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
I could have sworn the question was different when I read it :/..and I'm pretty sure I reread it after you posted..but I dont see edited, unless it got lost or..hmm..am I going senile? :/ lol

If you have copied all of your contacts to SIM on old phone, just insert SIM into Focus. It will pick up the contacts. Go to Settings and scroll over to People then to import SIM contacts.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bethyk:
I've never tried to do anything beyond readily available 3rd party apps. I've never jailbroken anything or rooted. I don't know how to work with ROM's and I've never used command prompts beyond installing difficult software on my desktop. (I'm using Win 7 on my PC) and I have no linux or coding experience. That said, I'm smart, I research things fully b4 I actually DO anything & I follow directions exactly when i do something unfamiliar.

I bought my Desire about 45 days ago thru USCC. Stock it's running 2.1. On Fri using UnREVoked 3.21 I tried to root. It appeared to work. I have the Superuser file at least...

However, when I followed unlockr.com's tutorials for downloading & flashing ROM's it became obvious that something was not right (screens weren't the same, options weren't the same or even close in some cases, & controls, like pushing power to go back after recovery didn't work.) The screen turned black, I had a minor heart attack & then the phone finally rebooted into it's original USCC configuration.

Now, I DID have an option to "install from SD card" but nothing that said "flash from sd card" and I'm assuming -maybe incorrectly- that there's a difference??

After 4 days of searching sites, I know there are too many posts on USCC rooting & Desire for a noob like me to know what to do. I have a mess that I need help to untangle.

Prior to my failed ROM attempt, I had installed save to sd... which I think may have moved everything to my SD card. Since rooting, I tried using Root Explorer to remove facebook, twitter, City ID etc.... EX: I can see bloatware files on my SD card, and the program SAYS it deletes them, but it reboots on exit and there's CityID again!

I can mount the SD card as a disk drive on my PC and look thru the SD card files. (some of which appear 2B duplicates. When I rooted, I installed the Hboot drivers and followed the unrevoked directions exactly. I renamed the recovery file as update and left it as a zip... but there are now two "update.zip" folders on my SD card. They are different sizes and neither contains all of the files of the other; although some of the files in each of the zip's are duplicates.

I don't know what files SHOULD be on my SD card and what is extraneous material. I don't know what I need to install to get to where I'm ultimately trying to go... which is running 2.2, getting rid of these "extra" files and gaining the ability to wifi tether my phone.

I do NOT know if I have S-off or not... and I'm not sure how to tell. AND, I'm not sure if this is the base cause of the other issues or not.

Is there anyone willing to get me thru the vast amount of material & help me to get my Desire running the way it is capable of functioning?

At this point, I'm even willing to switch carriers to get what I want if the issue is USCC's proprietary nature...

Thanks in advance to any1 willing to help out :-)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giganticprune:
i cant tell you how to fix it, but what i can say, is if you really borked it, you can take it into a uscc store saying you have no idea what happened. i used to work for uscc until about 2 months ago. until that time, out of the 3 corporate stores i was working in, not one associates knew what rooting was. and none of the "smartphone team" had either. so they would most likely just send you a replacement. good luck
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bethyk:
I thought about that... And I really don't even mind paying for it if I need to replae the phone, I will... But I figure at this point, worst case scenario I have aphone I can "play" with and figure out IF I can do any of this stuff successfully. I've discovered in the last year that I sort of have a talent for figuring this stuff out. This is the first time I've ever needed to find help with a problem and I've built several complete systems. I'm hoping there's someone who might be willing to suggest a course of action. If you have any ideas- even if I brick the darned thing- I'm willing to give it a try!

Thanks to anyone brave enough to reply! :-)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercianary:
Sounds like the second tuturial you were following was trying to root your phone again, but with the older method.

Turn on your phone holding volume down. You will get a white screen with some options in the middle, select recovery (it says at the top of this screen s-off or s-on, yours should say s-on, this is how to find this out.)

When recovery loads it should say clockwork recovery, a custom recovery flashed by unrevoked during the rooting process.

Use this recovery to flash a zip of whatever rom you want. Be sure to wipe data also if changing roms or any problems arise.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bethyk:
I've figured this much out at this point... I did root my phont with unREVoked 3.21. However, I did NOT S-OFF the device. So I'll try what mercianary suggests & let you know how it goes! Thanks a ton!

I work in Los Angeles and have full bars with the "H" showing all the time. I go and do the speed test and the highest download spped I get is 1.6. Is it that I'm just in a bad area? I see alot of people here getting alot better speeds than me. I just wanted to know if you have to enable the HDSPA+ 4G or does it automatically locate this network depending where you are. I only ask this becasue I see apps that you can choose to be on 2G,3G,4g speeds. Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgymnop:
I am in San Diego and although in a 4G area I get most of the time 0.8-1.8 download speed. In some spotty areas I get up to 2.5 down. Last weekend I was in Anaheim in Disneyland and although I was on H (four bars) i got 0.2 down...speed depends on reception, area, how many people use it in that area.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pack:
the H is 4G but its kinda iffy cus everywhere i used to get a 3G i just get an H now with 3G speeds... a lot of people including myself have said they hardly ever see the G anymore... may just be to get people to think their always on 4G so buying a 4G phone was worth the money... but to the actual speed thing if your in LA you should be getting way faster speeds... towards ontario/riverside gets really ****ty though
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setzer715:
I'm not positive that California has fully launched HSPA+. Notice the + at the end, this is what gives you 4G speeds. It should be fully launched in California (major cities) by then end of December.

Also, concerning the H. Your data icon will switch to H if you are on HSPA or HSPA+. This is a part of the Sense UI. ANY sense phone or phone using a sense UI will have this funciton. So that being said, if you see the H for data, it could be fast 3G speeds or 4G. I typically get anywhere from 3.5-7Mbs through out Phoenix which is a fully 4G launched network.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pistol44:
Ok so I'm fed up with the garbage that us Canadians have in terms of WP7 launch devices. I hate that every year we end up with the crap phones while T-Mobile and others get all the great ones.

So I'm considering ending my 10 yr run with Telus and reducing my monthly bill in half by trying out either Mobilicity or Wind Mobile. At the same time I have the additional benefits of choosing from any of T-Mobile's phones for use here.

So that leaves me to choose now between the HTC HD7 and the Dell Venue Pro. I am completely up to date on the rumours, bugs and issues each device has. I just need to know for all of you which device you think I should choose (even if it means waiting until Jan).

Btw I am a previous owner of the HD2 and loved it aside from the glitchy OS. And currently using an iPhone 4 as my temp phone (barf).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efjay:
I was waiting for the DVP but got an HD7 because it was available and I think support would be better with a physical store to perform exchanges. The DVP has obvious advantages like the scratch resistant glass, keyboard and AMOLED screen but even with the shortcomings of the HD7 like battery life, pink tint on the camera (which I can remove using Windows Live Photo Gallery) and LCD screen I am enjoying the OS immensely. Even the recent antenna issue I can cope with and I have ordered a silicone case.

The big unknown is if Dell can deliver a device that works well enough that it would only need a few software updates to fix and until they release it no one can tell. But for those who have had both the DVP seems to be the preferred choice so if you can wait it may be the one for you. Follow the #dellvenuepro tag on twitter to get the latest news and user impressions, best source of info on the DVP vs HD7.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arturobandini:
I would say Dell Venue Pro, despite all the current launch problems.

The Dell has a great Amoled screen + Qwerty keyboard.

EDIT: I thought the Dell Venu Pro had flash NAND storage. Apparently not.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efjay:
The Dell's memory is provided completely by SD card, there is no NAND memory onboard. And while the HD7 camera certainly isn't the best available it beats the Dell in irts current form hands down.

Oh really. Sorry then. I was sure it had ;)

I will edit my previous post.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyLK:
T-Mobile doesn't have the Dell Venue Pro, they only have the HD7, but I find the HD7 to be the choice phone even if the Dell were available. The HD7 is basically a beautified HD2 with it s black-chrome surround, silver mesh inserts at top and bottom that also conduct sound from the rear speaker. The kickstand is superior to the one on the HTC Evo and the overall build quality of the HD7 is superb. Granted, I had 3 previous HD7s before the one I now have. The first three were faulty and now I have one that is 99.99% perfect. The .01% shortfall is due to a tiny dent or deformity along the rear edge of the chrome surround. If it wasn't for that, this would be a perfect phone.

However, even with the 3 faulty HD7s prior to this one, I still chose to have one because of the gorgeousness and style as well as the excellent hardware specs. If the Dell's AMOLED is anything like other AMOLEDs, I wouldn't have chosen it because of the lack of small text detail. AMOLED is great for movies and pictures but poor for text detail. I saw a Samsung Focus at a local AT&T and was stricken by how much less attractive the main page tiles were in comparison to the other two offerings which used regular LCD tech. The tiles of the AMOLED seemd to have color bleed or a lack of sharpness to the pixels.

If you are mainly into movies and pictures on the device, the Dell might be more pleasing for you with its AMOLED. If you are more into an information device, where text definition is important, the HD7 would be the better choice. I love the style of the Dell, but I love the style of the HD7 more.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imoses44:
Dell Venue Pro

I've been using the HD7 for a bit over a week now and it's really a well built device.

I should warn though that it has a major flaw - the battery. My phone was fully charged this about 7am this morning, no calls and just 10mins of internet browsing. Battery died at 6pm. I'll be swapping it for the Venue Pro when that comes out.

I should warn that I have no idea how the DVP battery will hold up, but as a starter, the smaller screen will help.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyLK:
To conserve battery life, turn off the GPS. I do this and only use GPS when it's needed...like in the car, where I have it plugged into power. Major battery saver.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
how are you going to swap it? By the time the dell is available, you will be past t-mobile's 2week return window....

I wanted the dell VP until it had all the launch problems. I think HTC is a better mobile phone manufacturer.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pistol44:
Great feedback everyone..

Seems like the poll is leaning towards the DVP but comments seem to lean towards the HD7..

I used to own the HD2 so I remember all too well the battery issues. But I was the guy with the extra charger on my desk at work at left it plugged in all day long so I quickly became used to it. I do miss the larger screen especially when compared to this temporary 3.5" screen.

Viewing pictures, surfing the net and playing games (so mostly media) would be where most of my time would be spent on this phone. Really the only thing I like on DVP over the HD7 is AMOLED screen and believe it or not the styling.

Can anyone say for certain whether or not the screen on the HD7 is actually an improvement over the HD2? And if so if it would be a noticeable improvement?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efjay:
The screens on the HD2 and HD7 are identical, I have Transformers on both devices and pausing at the same screen shows them to be using the same screen.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
really man... if you've got nothing to contribute, don't bother. i'm sick of seeing you do this on every place that ask these sorts of questions.

as for which to get, i would probably go with HD7 as the on screen keyboard is massive enough that not having physical keys would be close to a non-issue.
