hi all

i have hTC HD Mini with ROM version 1.07.707.1. my phone is bought from italy however i myself am living in UAE and know only english language. Currently all menus in my mobile are in english only.

i found a ROM version updation in HTC italy website which is 1.36.408.1, however when i downloaded the version and tried to update my mobile, i found out that all installation instructions were in italian language so i didnt updated ROM version thinking that doing that may change the OS language of my mobile set? Can anyone suggest should i update my ROM version, if yes how do i do it without changing my mobile current language ENGLISH??

any help is appreciated.

So i called orange uk again last night, waited and talked for around 2 hours, i was told that the gps problem on galaxy s was due to manufacturer's fault (samsung). They told me they couldn't do anything about it. Optionally, they offered me htc desire to exchange my current galaxy s. They also told me that's the only option i have. I'm tired of arguing my consumer right and i'm asking here, is htc desire a better phone? Should i take it? Should i change my mind and stay with crappy gps galaxy s? Or should i write to complain orange and ask to cancel the contract because they are unable to provide a fully functional phone?

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Schmich:
Depends what you do the most on your phone. Gaming? Stick to Galaxy S. Lots n lots of GPS usage? Change. Although are they only offering the old Desire and not the Desire HD or Z?

Other things to take note of is how long your contract is and what you're going to do with the phone afterwards. Sell? Then also check resell value. Keep at home as a little browsing device, a portable media playing device etc. I mean the Galaxy S has a really nice screen, there is no need to re-encode movies and with its GPU it will be able to handle upcoming games for quite a while.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] digitheatre:
If u cant live without functional gps...i think u should take the offer.

For me myself..sgs gps is functional enough and is not the main reason i bought this phone, so i can live with it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ehe12:
well, I was gonna get an ipad for movies and web browsing. I don't use a lot of GPS, I also have 2-3 other phones with great GPS. Just don't wanna bring more than 1 device when I'm out and need to use GPS...

Orange doesn't provide desire Z, also they don't give me the option of HD...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BlackDino:
Are you running froyo?

With froyo JK3 there is no gps issues here,

My Nexus and Galaxy S take around the same time to lock on, and while driving around the galaxy never looses the lock
[Galaxy S I9000 General] prkys:
I dont know what problems do you

Have with your galaxy but I have no problems with stock eclair. I don't think that five second better gps lock time is a reason to change a phone.

I am pretty satisfied with gps performance, and think that out is enough for normal usage, and if you need better performance use pro equipment.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SkinBobUk:
Personally i own a sgs, and the mrs a desire.

Out of the two i prefer mine in loads of ways:

1) My sgs battery lasts twice as long, if not longer than the desire

2) The screen on the sgs is far superior to the desire screen

(the desire in queston has amoled and not slcd)

3) I prefer the extra width of the sgs for holding it

4) The desire is quite easy to scrathc, chip, whereas my sgs is still pristine

5) Some may not believe it but froyo feels far faster on the sgs

6) Some may not believe this either but i found rooting, flashing, etc far easier on sgs.

I could go on, but u get the general idea. If i needed gps a lot and used it everyday i'd just buy a bluetooth gps mouse, they are cheap enough. I think the pros of the sgs far outweigh the cons of having to carry a bluetooth gps mouse in my pocket.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] got-petrol:
i would miss my sgs but i think when the nexus s comes out and it works perfect every body will start complaining more about the gps and bugs they still have with froyo maybe some thing might start to happen
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ehe12:
I have only one thing: GPS on SGS is really crappy. I think that builds up all my points.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nwsk:
If you think that a phone's GPS capability is the most important, go ahead and change. No phone is perfect. But be aware that by changing, you are accepting Orange's offer and can be construed as waiving your future rights to complain/cancel your contract with regards to a phone issue..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Emexrulsier:
I too have no issues with GPS though in 2.2 my first ever fix in copilot took a stupid ammount of time but now its less than 30 seconds and accuracy is similar to others.

My bother in law owns a Desire and though it does feel a little more robust then the Glaxy it also feels a little too small.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:
The GPS ain't perfect. But I wouldn't say it's unusable or something like that.

i've perfectly nice tracks made with it. It's just not the best feature of the phone.

The reasons why it's not perfect have been debated 1000 times so I don't need to write them again.

Bottom line is, for occasional tracks, drivings etc the SGS GPS feels just as good as any other (In the released Froyo at least). If you need higher reliability and precision many other phones are better, but to be honest i'd recommend an external gps any day, if the GPS is critical.

The GPS antenna in phones, and it's close proximity with the rest of the hardware makes it nearly impossible to reach the reliability and precision of external GPS's. (beside theyre MUCH easier to position properly in the car .. :p)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darkoroje:
I am sorry but this is not the case. Both Nexus One and iPhone 4 have really good GPS easily as good as TomTom external devices. It is fair to say that the GPS in Galaxy is worse than most other comparable smartphones.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
Exactly. I can always trust my Hero for GPS navigation. If my Galaxy S tell me to turn right, I have to check first that it does not think that I am 2-3 streets off.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:
maybe you've just been lucky. I happen to have an iphone4.

Well no dice compared to my "real" GPS. The difference in tracking accuracy and update speed is huge.

(that's my GPS: http://www.coolcomponents.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=367)

And for the record, it's only slightly better than the SGS GPS in my occasional uses (mostly running biking and sometimes car) mostly because it doesnt lose track of the signal as easily

Then again forums are plagued by people pushing their brands blindly. Please note also that I'm not comparing to the wrongly configured or really fault SGS GPS's.

Mine's not perfect but it does the job well enough. No such thing as being 2 streets off. But it's often not exactly aligned or loses track of GPS for 2s for no reason. Which isn't exactly good but not a huge issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SkinBobUk:
So why did u bother asking in the first place?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
Demand the htc desire hd and not the standard old desire. Hardware wise the old desire is below sgs while the newer desire hd is on par or just a little better then sgs with a bigger but not better screen. I would love a desire hd
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darkoroje:
I have both an Iphone 4 and SGS

and the GPS is substantially worse on the SGS. I would say that the number of GPS threads on this and other SGS forums are a good indication that many SGS owners are not satisfied with GPS performance
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:
i did write it's problems and that it's worse. but it's not unuseable either, very far from it - sry. and the ip4 gps ain't all that great either (but yes it's certainly better)

Ok guys, I've rooted my phone, flashed the newest cognition, and installed ROM manager I have super user permission and am ready to move forward ( I think). What is ( in very simple terms for a newbie) my next step in making my phone a wifi hotspot and/or enable usb tethering. I have pretty much done all this straight to my phone, I have still not been able to get my windows pc ( running vista) to regognize my phone, or rather, I can see it in connected devices but no communication back and forth. Please help this newbie has been working on this for days and I know I'm close. Thanks to all members and threads so far. Also did clockwork mod recovery and backed up, but have nothing I can find anywhere that enables or allows wireless tether. Did I do something wrong, or skip a step somewhere? Should I go back into recovery, is there an option in this mode to enable wireless? Again I'm a newbie and when I started to go back into recovery, I got a prompt that asked if I was sure I wanted to go back in, and that worried me, but also read in a forum that now my phone is near unbrickable. Is that true? Am I over worrying? Just got the phone and don't wanna fry it, a non warranty replacement is over 500 bucks, so I'm a lil leary about what to do next.

Have I missed a step somewhere or done something wro g?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbrummell:
Sounds to me like your ROM doesn't have the Mobile AP software in it.

You can always try WIFI Tether for Root I guess. My stock Rogers ROM has Mobile AP and it works fine, I heard Cognition had it, maybe they've removed it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p1p3l1n3r205:
I tried to download and I am still not allowed I still get "download not allowed from outside the market" which is leading me to believe that I've done something wrong in the process, or that I've simply skipped a step or didn't enable something somewhere. Should I try going back into recovery with clockwork mod and maybe go thru that again? Is there an enable setting in there?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] startngate:
wireless-tether must be sideloaded on the Captivate, you can't get it from the market.

You get it from here:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

You can use adb or the Sideload Wonder Machine to install it on your phone.

Having said that, the Cognition ROM had Mobile AP in it the last time I used Cognition. Normally it would be between Wi-Fi Settings and Bluetooth Settings on the Wireless and Network menu.

Would suggest ODIN One-Clicking back to stock and re-flashing Cognition, or perhaps moving to another ROM that confirms it's got it (I am using DG's Perception ROM now, which does). While it does work, wireless-tether is really a poor substitute for the regular Mobile AP ap.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p1p3l1n3r205:
Ok, quick ( probably dumb) question. I didn't load rom from sd card. When I go into ROM manager and choose load from sd I have an update.zip, but it does not say cognition, is this the correct choice to download or am I missi g something? And if it is the correct one I simply choose wipe data correct? And at that point I should have my wireless ap option in my wireless and network folder? Think I may have done right but am lacking on follow thru.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] startngate:
No, Cognition will not be named update.zip. If you downloaded the most recent version, the filename is:

Cognitionv2.3b6.zip

You have to download it and then move it to the root directory of the built-in storage of your phone of your phone (It goes in the same place that update.zip is at).

When you reboot into recovery, scroll down to 'install zip from sdcard, hit the power button, scroll down to 'choose zip from sdcard' and scroll down until you find the Cognition ROM, highlight it and press the power button once more.

Would suggest you spend a lot more time reading before you try to flash a ROM. All the instructions are out there and not that difficult to follow. If you are not careful in what you do, you can brick your phone. Fortunately it's really hard to permanently brick a Captivate, but read a lot before you start. It will save you a lot of headaches moving forward.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p1p3l1n3r205:
T, hank you for the advice, and the tongue lashing, and I understand your frustration with me, but first off, I have repeatedly admitted my lack of knowledge, second, I have done nothing but read and attempt to follow exact instruction to the letter but many terms I do not know and are hard to understand from my perspective, which is why I have repeatedly asked for very simple instruction, I do not presume to be any type of wizard, and I don't feel it just to come at me in such a way. I do however understand your frustration and appreciate any and all help I have been given or will be given in the future. I simply ask, how is someone like me who works hard everyday just not in the same field as you supposed to ever get to the point of understandi g terminology if I don't try. Please do not misunderstand, I'm simply saying that I did my readi g before beginning and obviously came to the right place for help, I'm just a lil slow on the uptake and for that, I appologize. Again, thank you all for your help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] startngate:
It was not a tongue lashing ... or rather not intended to be ... :p

Just an honest (if frank) piece of advice. Many people can be harsh on these forums, especially when they see people not even bothering to look before they leap. You were at least trying, which is why I outlined a (possible) solution for you before telling you to do some more looking around.

Flashing ROMs can be tricky business, and a bit intimidating (if not scary) the first time you do it. Trust me, after the first successful flash you will be home free ... :)

Still, the forum is full of people who try to flash without really reading up on things before they do. And also full of people begging for help because they bricked their phones specifically because they either didn't study up first, or ignored the steps that they read.

I'm not all that tech savvy in the grand scheme of things either, but I read for days before I attempted to flash my first ROM. It's the same advice I would give to anyone looking to start flashing.

If nothing else, when things go wrong you will have that little voice in the back of your head that goes "hey, I remember reading someplace that this happened to someone" and then you can go searching for the solution more easily.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] marcom:
Hi!,

I have a HTC Touch Pro 2 that I usually pair, via bluetooth, with my car. When this connection is made, a message shows up on the HTC’s screen informing that the connection does not assure some sound functions. Nevertheless, all the phone functions work great.

The problem is the gps. I bought a few days ago the gps software NDrive v10, and after a few tests I realised that when the HTC is paired with the car, there is no sound from the NDrive. I open NDrive and I can’t hear a single instruction!

The solution is turning off the bluetooth so I can hear the instructions from the NDrive, but this way I have no handsfree system for the phone…

Is there any way of solving this problem, having the HTC paired with the car, and at the same time, hearing the instructions from the NDrive?

Thanks!

MM
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
Are you pairing both Hands-free and Stereo BT profiles when you connect to the car? Maybe that program requires the Stereo profile to route sound through your system. Otherwise, only phone functions will be routed. My phone automatically pairs the Hands-free profile when I get in the car, but if I want to stream music from the phone to my car stereo I have to manually start the Stereo BT profile.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] marcom:
when you mentioned the car's BT profile I went and check the car menus, and I found one (that I missed previously) that gives the option of listening to the sounds from the HTC. Whether it is music or gps!

But I still have a small question. When the menu that I mentioned above is select I can only listen to sounds from the HTC. This means that when I'm listening to the gps I can't hear radio or cd player from the car...

Nevertheless, thanks for the help!

MM
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] worwig:
On the HTC you can pair the phone and the stereo. If you disable the stereo on the HTC, that may get you what you are after.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
That's because the radio can only have one input active at a time, and when the phone is connec ted via BT in stereo mode, that's all it can handle. It doesn't matter if you're streaming music or GPS directions from the phone.

[G2 and Desire Z General] kefan77:
hi,

do you have any suggestions how to get rid of Vodafone welcome screen when booting my desire Z?

This is my first android, so I'm totally not sure, with WM 6.5, it was easy, getting hold of new stock HTC rom or cooked rom like energy, flashing it on the phone and job done.

Is there any place where I can get hold of stock HTC sense rom for desire Z?

like shipped-roms.com/shipped/Vision

I'm bit concerned, because it says T-Mobile US...

any help and suggestions are appreciated.

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
There are splash screen images in the zip files for the ROMs, so I presume that you can replace them easily. I don't know the correct procedure, but if you flash as complete ROM then I imagine that'll do the job.

Talking of complete ROMs, the standard European ROM is on this forum, see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=822908 . That's an RUU, but you can run it and then extract the zip file and flash that directly if you want.

However, you need to be careful about ROM versions if you have S-OFF. If you don't have S-OFF, then it won't let you flash an earlier ROM normally, so you need to follow the "debranding" guide (not very well-named IMHO) to flash an earlier ROM. If you do have S-OFF then you must follow the debranding guide, because if you try to flash an earlier ROM from HBOOT and have S-OFF you will probably brick your phone.

If you're flashing a later ROM version then everything should be fine.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kefan77:
I've managed to flash the ROM from the link you provided on my Z using the gold card method.

wonderful. so much better without the Vodafone logo. Thanks a lot.
