kinda relieved others are seeing it too. thought i was losing it :)

i'm sure a morph could fix it too.

for those of you who try the modified apk, let me know how it works for you.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ippon:
i have the same problem in my cap, running congnition and i tried your apk, but it would not install.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Twiddler:
The modified APK didn't work for me. I tried both ROM manager and the recovery console. Is there another method?

Has anyone developed another way of fixing this problem?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] creator2456:
The buttons are just images. Simply editing the ones without letters to have letters will solve the problem.

Hi All,

I an currently running a rooted version of 2.1. The build number is ECLAIR.XWJG1.MCR-r2.

The baseband version is I9000XXJG1.

I would like to upgrade to the official 2.2 Euro rom.

What do I need to do? I am concerned that if I just upgrade, I will brick it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesus_thats_great:
Anyone? Help :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android.francis:
Um...use KIES.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesus_thats_great:
It's a rooted version of the Modaco custom rom.

I am guessing that I will encounter problems if I try to use Kies. I am in Ireland so the UK firmwares would apply to me.

Hello. I had an accident, and my phone paid for it dearly. I have a HTC Desire and unfortunately the other day I spilt a rather large amount of Coke onto it, which has caused all the keys to be a bit sticky, and worst of all the power button to be constantly 'held down'. Which means the phone is very often asking if I would like to power it of, I cant tell it when i want it to lock, nor unlock. I have gotten round this by setting screen time-out to 15 seconds and installing the No Lock app, but this is very far from ideal.

Is it possible i can clean the cola out from my phone? It looks like it would take some disassembly, but I'm willing to try.

On an interesting side note, it seams when the phone is at the right temperature (body, in fact) the button works perfectly fine, but if it gets too hot or cold, its gone again.
[General Topics] souljaboy:
maaaaaan just sell it as is , its gonna STANK later
[General Topics] Peelypeel:
STANK?

"STANK" I'm not sure what you mean dude. Cola doesn't smell?
[General Topics] Pickx:
Do the usual. Separate all parts of the device, remove memory card and battery and let the rest sit in a bowl full of rice for 12-24 hours
[General Topics] Peelypeel:
Well its been 3 days, isn't that enough airing time? and its cola, I fear there may be residue causing the issue, not just left behind water that will evaporate.
[General Topics] radu_wizu:
Well,as far as i know if you unplug any power sources from the device you can just clean it with water and then ley it dry again..for a long time to completely dry up.
[General Topics] Peelypeel:
I am of the same thought, but I really don't want to pour water on my phone lol
[General Topics] pulser_g2:
Don't pour water. Use a cotton bud perhaps with water or isopropyl alcohol (if the plastic is ok with it) perhaps. Don't submerge it or pour liquids over it
[General Topics] orb3000:
And submerge it on rice to absorb all humidity left
[General Topics] caguirr4:
There is definitely residue. Just clean it as previous post suggested.
[General Topics] Peelypeel:
Ok, thanks alot guys, Ill try just dabbing some water on the corners of the power button so some goes in, then putting it in rice. All while the phones off and battery is out of course.

Seems that this phone's gpu is not powerful enough by today's standards.

So.. which gpu it has?

I have it with the default android 2.1

in Quadrant, System Information says

GPU(OpenGL)

Vendor: Samsung Electronics

Renderer: FIMG-3DSE v1.5

Version: OpenGL Es-CE 1.1

Using google I found an interesting piece, like it CAN handle 4 mill triangles/second, and even a complete speecsheet:

http://forum.beyond3d.com/archive/index.php/t-47776.html

http://armsystem.com.cn/bbs/archiver/?tid-12613.html

Is this real? Is this phone underpowered by the wrong software?

[Galaxy 3 General] malte41:
It is underpowered with 2.1... Try froyo and you will see a massive gfx power raise.

With 2.1 i cant play speedx... with froyo it rocks!
[Galaxy 3 General] Saka911:
It does'nt have separate gpu, the SOC integrates radios and processor

series "Vega" or S5p6442 samsung processor

supports 2D acceleration , but not 3D.

3D is software driven unlike Cortex A8 based samsung SOC

[Desire HD General] Elemental_Fire:
Hey everyone!

So i've used the Desire HD's camera for a bit, and I find it's got potential. I used to have a HD2...and remember there was a registry edit fix and also settings in the camera app that were published here on XDA to improve picture quality...well i've found out that pictures are a lot clearer and sharper when these settings are applied on the Desire HD:

Go into the Camera app...

Press the menu button on your desire hd...

Turn OFF auto-focus

in the Image adjustments sub-menu, turn sharpness all the way to 2...

Take pictures, and as a good example of comparison take a before and after picture.

In the after pic, tap on what you want in focus. The overall quality of the picture will be a lot clearer! There is also less noise and the object will be in focus, and pepper and grain effect is largely eliminated! Try it out and report back :)

Elemental_Fire

Update 1 (00:09-10/12/2010):

Thanks to the knowledge and sharing of fellow XDA members, I have determined that what seems to impact/affect images the most is the sharpness settings. Contrary to my settings, you can also go into Image adjustments in the camera app and turn off the sharpness setting fully. This is done by turning the sharpness circle dial all the way to -2. It seems that when set on default, the sharpness algorithm is ineffective at determining the level of sharpness that should be used. As a result, images are reproduced with unwanted image effects such as distinct grainyness, noise and also seemingly out-of-focus/blury pictures! So you can use either -2 for smooth pictures that are good quality, or +2 for sharper pictures that are good quality! At the end of the day, it depends on what you as the photographer prefer :D Haha i'm making this sound like the Desire HD is a professional camera...it's certainly more than suitable for quick snaps that won't comprise on good memorable photos in 8MP :D

Update 2 (00:51- 10/12/2010)

Uploaded sample pictures!
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
will give this a try in the morning!
[Desire HD General] vimto25:
Is that +2 I take it not -2? I'll check this out in morning

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD General] Elemental_Fire:
Yep, plus 2 :D
[Desire HD General] mohit1234:
yup the pictures are much better!!

i just hated all tht noise and grainyness!

Thanks a lot!!! :D
[Desire HD General] Burning_aces:
I didnt really notice the difference, I think im just horrid at taking photos haha
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
they do look slightly better i think!
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
I haven't tried this yet myself but its nice that the hd remembers these settings after a power cycle - I expected all settings to revert to default.
[Desire HD General] Radtoo:
That does not help any here.

I think the compression is just screwed up very badly, or we don't have anything like a 8MP sensor in our phones.

You can see that very easily if you photograph or film some intricate pattern like in snow, frost, test patterns (printed on paper) or such. It just smears and blurs the hell out of these photographs and no settings in the user interface will help against that.

Now, a sensor actually resolving 8 Megapixels, on the other hand, should be capable of resolving to about four 1920x1080 computer screens worth of distinct pixels. Unfortunately when I view the photographs on the screen, in actuality I still those see smears and other artifacts even when I zoom the image to about ~25% of the screen's. So... ~0.5 MP or less resolution in reality? Beh, fail.
[Desire HD General] Elemental_Fire:
Meh, it is an 8mp sensor...I just assume HTC don't implement and make use of the best available lens, sensor size and compression rate....but the camera isn't bad at all..i'll upload some pictures i've taken recently, they're quite defined! Certainly more clearer, sharper and yet containing less noise than my old HD2 gosh colours on that were washed out :p
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
sharpness plus 2 will increase the digital treatment which seems to remove more noise and add more sharpness, maybe a little better than the default semi sharpness which a mess

however the camera is indeed 8MP it is ridiculous to state otherwise!! turn off sharpness all the way to -2 and all this digital artifacts will be gone as well as fake sharpness, you will be able to get full 8MP camera quality without HTC mending with them, you can improve photos further by using the auto fix or high contrast from within the gallery

of course noise will be introduced depending on the available light and of course with sharpness -2 it will be a little soft since it receiving zero digital treatment, take it to any photo editing application and you can boost the sharpness properly

really i don't get all the random posts camera quality, i'm getting amazing results even managed to amaze my iphone 4 colleagues, the only part where HTC really failed is the default noise reduction/sharpness algorithm (Sharpness 0) its a real mess thankfully it can be turned off

i should make a detailed thread about the camera and be done with it
[Desire HD General] panyan:
after using it a few times, im still sticking to my D700 :p :p :P
[Desire HD General] ttav:
I`m quite happy with the point and click results but for serious pics i use my ancient Canon EOS 500.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
ofcourse it will never beat a DSLR! only the satio and the nokia n8 come close but those sucks in their own ways

its not a perfect camera, but damn better than everyone make it sound, and pretty amazing for a phone, everyone complaining including some reviewers didn't even bother to experiment with the basic settings

the best words i found for this camera are in the Engadget review particluary this line ( Noise-masking blur is distributed very well, in our opinion, works especially well if can content yourself with downsizing the images from the max 8 megapixel size), gsmarena kept complaining about the sharpness and never mentioned it can be turned off

oh and it wipes the floor with the iphone 4 camera

the only two issues in this phone are the lack of ips in the screen and the size for those who can't handle it and no the battery is fine
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
agreed 100% with your post. Although the lack of ips is no issue imo.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
thank you, ips is only an issue when use the phone flat on your desk or sharing with others, its a slight issue when old desire slcd/amoled, iphone 3Gs and ipads have much better view angles

but yea its no biggie, its my first HTC device where i found no need to flash custom stuff
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
Makes very little difference for me. I have to wonder about anyone that says this is a great camera - what are you comparing it against and have you ever used a Nokia for instance with Carl Zeiss optics?
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
yes nokia n900 and the DHD is better

i will post my results soon in full resolution
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:

I have troubles inserting the connector into the USB port on my NOOKcolor. I managed to get it in two times, but more out of luck than for any specific insertion method.

It seems to go in half-way but then stops. Does anybody else have this issue on their NOOK?
[Nook Color General] golfprorm:
I've found that it fits at a slight angle up (when you have it plugged in, the connector will point slightly toward the back of the device).
[Nook Color General] txskeets:
Same thing that goldprorm said....once you figure out the exact way it wants to go in, it goes in fine....just seems to go in a little weird.
[Nook Color General] Kiwi_in_KC:
the microUSB connector seems to be non standard?

In addition to the finnickyness of inserting the microUSB connector to the nook color, I tried using the cable to connect my mobile phone to my computer. The microUSB would not insert fully into my phone. I didn't go any further to see if I could establish connectivity as I had another cable close by but I thought it strange as I have used many different microUSB cables and they have all worked fine in any other vendors device.

Does anyone know if there is something specific with the NC microUSB connector/cable?
[Nook Color General] captfoss:
Yeah, it uses extra pins to carry additional power to charge faster using the Nook cable and wall wart. A normal cable will work just fine with it but the nook cable is propritary and wont work with other devices...

As mentioned here and here:

adding "echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1" to /data/local.prop fixes the launcher redraw lag.

Documentation:

http://code.google.com/p/sipdroid/wiki/FAQ

update:

it does seem to made a difference :)

Here are the commands: (batch file to do this here,post#5)

adb remount
adb pull /system/build.prop .

edit build.prop with a decent text editor and add these two lines a the end

adb push build.prop /system/
adb reboot
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g4rb4g3:
you could try

adb shell stop
adb shell setprop ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
adb shell start

if it works you just have to add ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 to build.prop.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
tried:

adb shell stop
adb shell setprop ro.HOME_APP_ADJ 1
adb shell start

My phone hot rebooted after the last command.

After it rebooted I ran

C:\Users\meeee>adb shell getprop ro.HOME_APP_ADJ
4

Since its 4. I guess it did not stick.

Also tried setting it and immediately reading it, did not stick.

C:\Users\meeee>adb shell setprop ro.HOME_APP_ADJ 1

C:\Users\meeee>adb shell getprop ro.HOME_APP_ADJ
4

The setting stuck after putting it in build.prop, time to check if it made any difference...

C:\Users\meeee\Desktop>adb shell getprop ro.HOME_APP_ADJ
1
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g4rb4g3:
Don't reboot, try the commands and watch out if your problem got fixed. If it works like that you can add the line to build.prop.

- doubleklick

- and wait till reboot.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
thanks rori.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
No one has posted yet what the command actually does. All it does is tell Android to try to keep the launcher in memory.

Shouldn't affect anything like the scrolling or any response while actually using the launcher, but will fix some lag for when going back home from any other app, as it doesn't have to re-launch the launcher if it was kicked out of memory.

Various options like this exist in some launchers, and I think Cyanogenmod has this option in the settings too. They are not all the same as this command though, so this may work better for some people while the other ways to do it may work better for others.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
As per this it locks the 'screen' in memory. (maybe they mean the screen buffer)

Makes sense as I always have had launcher locked in memory before this and was still having my home screen redraw very slowly when I switched to it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myth999:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otivaeey:
can you specify where is the android/tools mentioned, can it be found in all android phones?

Btw, I have seen ">>" and ">" then "space" /data/local.prop in other websites, while in the sipdroid article, it is exactly

"echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 >/data/local.prop".
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
adb comes with the sdk, for my windows machine its at

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

in unix ">" sends text to a file (deletes whatever was there) and ">>" appends at the end of a file. If you're not familiar its easiest to just add the one line manually at the end of build.prop.
