[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NickPP:
What real world advantages does Gingerbread have over 2.2? How would the HD2 really benefit from something like video chat with no front camera, etc.? Just wondering.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mortix:
nice!

* fast boot

* nice look

* no sound in calls

* no data-connection
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kiloah:
thanks man, ya its not perfect :P

but it sure is better than on the crappy emulator!

much better feel of what gingerbread is.

looking forward to the actual releases :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jibing:
I have no sound in calls and in other media playback

But I can use data transfer

One question...does this work on the TMOUS HD2 too
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
Ah... yes... but...

Unfortunately MDJ cannot build his Froyo HD based on 2.3.

First the Froyo HD is based on the Desire HD with the new Sense Interface. The gingerbread does not have the new Sense Interface (it is Vanilla Android).

And for Semantics, it would not be Froyo HD (if it were possible) it would be Ginger HD

:D

(I read this, and it sounds rude. That is not the intent - just a clarification)

Of course when an android 2.3 (gingerbread) device comes from HTC with the new sense built in, then we can realize an MDJ Ginger HD - WHOooooooooooo
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] affliction_emrah:
HD2 must be the most beautiful and amazing device HTC has built so far!

I love my HD2 and allllll the devs here!

Thanks guys!

Keep up the great work for us.

Does anyone know where i can find the cm6.1 build that was themed as gingerbread?!:s i was reading it and pressed back (=force close) and i really can't find it anymore :( I've been searching and browsing the whole hd2 section soon..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] m4f1050:
Nice to know it runs on HD2! Will wait until it's rock solid like 2.2 builds (using revolution v1.7 mdj here...0 issues!)

Weird thing is, calls go through, but no audio kills it. Unfortunately, there isnt much else I can do until the Nexus S/1 dump arrives.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MotoMudder77:
Yea, thats what I've been thinking as well, SDK is good for.....well nothing much except to prove that 2.3 is possible on the device.

But if your still in need of anything, just let me know.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Reuben Harris:
UPDATED: Ignore this post. Deleting all the other crap off the SD card so it only had a /Android folder sorted it out... it now boots fine.

ORIGINAL WHINGE:

I must be being a bit thick... had the Darkstone Froyo running happily on my HD2 for some months but this one won't boot for me. I run clrcad.exe first, and then haret.exe and then nothing happens... no "Loading Linux" screen or anything. Winmo is frozen and the little green light on the front slowly blinks.

Some version information from the bootscreen:

R 2.15.50.14

G 15.42.501.11U

D 1.48.71294
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 11calcal:
No I no it goes thru but no sound bud hope it worx afta a couple of tweaks bud. Very impressed with the browser speed. Wud use as a day 2 day n I've used most builds out & had android from 1st release

Hope u have gud luck with improvements m8y
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] spbeeking:
I know longer have access to a linux machine, so I will not be releasing any more roms. :( Sorry guys.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] m4f1050:
Virtual is the new thing..... I have 2 right now, running off of my Win7 box... One Ubuntu and one Debian...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] spbeeking:
Yeah, except the only pc i have is like 6 years old. and not mine. So messing with it is out of the question. Sorry.

[Desire HD General] Bernyhsu:
Hello all

I just broke two files in my desire HD few minutes ago......

/system/usr/keylayout/spade-keypad.kl

/system/usr/keylayout/spade-keypad-v0.kl

could anyone reply the original content of these two files for me?

thanks alot!
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
How did you manage that..I take it your phone is rooted...must be to mess them up right?

Just download the stock ruu from the dev forum..extract the file on your PC..find the two files..save them on your SD card and move them back to there original path using root explorer from the market (its not free) but Its saved my ass a few times.. This should now fix you files..

Note it will not let you replace them until you change the r/w in root explorer (top right hand corner)
[Desire HD General] Bernyhsu:
Dear sir

I suggest this is the best way to solve this problem...

thanks!!
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Another way would be to flash the complete ruu.zip file using clockwork recovery.

Either method will fix your files..if you have clockwork then I guess this maybe easier...Make sure its the correct ruu!

Second, did you check your APN settings if they are still there??

Third, do some research first before you flash firmware. You'll thank me for this tip one day..

Anybody know where I could purchase the internal antenna? Thanks in advance.
[Legend General] Xander_:
Anyone have this problem??? it started after updating with RUU...

P.S. my old nokia detects the networks in the area btw my Legend doesn't.
[Legend General] ebaak:
search the forum. its already there.. was answered a cpl of days ago
[Legend General] Xander_:
I searched ... there is no answer to my problem.... I'm not froyo yet. I used the RUU to update to 2.03xxxxx.
[Legend General] nomad4ever:
One problem I always had was the Regulatory Domain settings. After every restart or reset it was back to max 11 Wifi Channels, while my Router ran on 14.

The result was, that I couldn't find the Router (my own Wifi network) and it took me awhile to figure it out:

Wifi-Settings/Advanced/Regulatory Domain on an unbranded Legend from Singapore.

Don't know if that helps with your problem.
[Legend General] Xander_:
Thx for the reply. My problem was different... I couldn't detect ANY wifi networks.

But I fixed it .... After the RUU update my old saved wifi networks where still there, and when i removed them ... now everything is fine :D
[Desire General] Maxd13:
Hello Guys,

I have an HTC Desire unbranded, with not root access on official froyo ROM from HTC. Yesterday, I have put my Goldcard to make the OTA 2.29.405.2. During the process of the upgrade, the battery fall.. :-/

Now the phone i stuck to the HTC bootscreen. I have try factory reset, but still the phone wont boot.

Do we have a process to "reinstall" the rom from scratch? because I think the Rom get corrupted..

Any help is appreciated.

Max
[Desire General] EddyOS:
1. Download this:

http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2-2.10.405.2_R_P_release8gn61bgo3rswcw24.zip

2. Rename it update.zip (not update.zip.zip)

3. Copy it to the root of your SD card

4. Turn off phone and turn it back on holding volume down

5. Select recovery

6. Once on the screen with the ! hold volume up and press power

7. Select apply SD:update.zip and follow the instructions

You will need to use your gold card to do this
[Desire General] EddyOS:
If that doesn't work, you'll need to use the full RUU. You can get this by using the link in my signature. You will lose all data using an RUU, though. You will also need to use your gold card

Good morning to anyone!:)

I 've got two strange problems with my tmous.

1. When someone call me and i accept the call the phone goes to speaker mode and i must push the speaker button for speaking in normal mode.

2. My phone can't connect to any pc for data exchange but only for charge.

I tried to solve the problem by flashing my phone with omega rom and after that with 2.14.50.04 radio rom but nothing.

So do you have any idea for the above problems?:confused:

I had the same issue with my I5800. I flashed with JPB. It went about 2 or 3 days.After that, it was stuck , when i got a call.I try to reboot my phone, but when I've to put the pin, it did not respond to my fingers.After that I reboot the phone to recovery mode.The empty cache menu was worked, but the factory reset did not.It was stuck to formatting....

.After 3 or 4 trying, ODIN was able to see my phone, so I flashed with the JI2 firmware.Now my phone is like the original :)

I think, that we should wait for officional fw from samsung.

Sorry for my bad english.
[Galaxy 3 General] dalek:

Thanks
[Galaxy 3 General] FadeFx:
Try flashing a firmware containing a datafs.rfs in the PDA .tar file
[Galaxy 3 General] LePeR1898:
z4root doesn't work for JPB.. you have to use superoneclick

enable usb debugging

turn phone off

plug phone in via usb

start superoneclick in windows

click root

turn phone on

wait for superoneclick to say your rooted

VOILA
[Galaxy 3 General] dalek:

[Galaxy 3 General] dalek:

[Galaxy 3 General] Megapaul:

[Defy General] prophil:
hi there,

the defy is my very first android-mobile device. I had windows mobile 4,5,6 in the past and i'm using palm pre (webos) since over a year now. I am dissapointed about the apps for webos, because they dont exist :D every app appears first on iphone.. somethimes for android... and never for webos. So, on amazon-cybermonday, i bought a cheap motorola defy.

But i am dissapointed.. not in the device but in the OS. This is Version 2.1 and feels like a buggy windows mobile 5 :D Nothing works really intuitively (?).

i installed all the cool apps in from the app-catalog, which first doesn't worked with my gmail-adress. i had to use googlemail.com adress (?). that took me about 2 hours :D then i installed the facebook app, which didn't told me that i have unred messages. I dont Like this app because i know the webos one.

so i tried google goggels.. cool app, indeed. But after 2 fotos, the device hangs and had to be restarted. there is no button to restart -.- ^^

ok, after the restarts, i tested other apps.. i downloaded very much apps.. there are very trashy apps in the store. Some japanese, chinese and other unreadble apps with no description.. hmm... until a message appears, that i dont have enogh memory and should close some apps. ...

and .. really.. how do you life with a OS without an ability to exit apps?? i had to download a taskmanager to kill open programs (to get 90% of the used memory back.. not 100%).. so after some opening and closing, i had no more memory and had to restart (pardon: shutdown and start) again.

my sum up: i have a mobile phone with has potential. it has a great camera (which an app had destroyed so i cannot use it anymore because blue color switched to red color, it was a filter in an crashed (or killed) app) and a good display, waterproof and long durability.. but the OS is not usable in my option. the apps are not designed well, they are mostly "ugly". i dont know what app is running without looking into another app, which is ugly too :D

so my question about one week of testing and finally returning to Webos. Why is android so.. unusable? i would call myself as a geek, but hey... that is too much :D Or.. maybe.. i am doing it wrong! what is possible with an android-phone? how many hours of customizing do you have to spend to have an android which is exactly like you want it? and where can i copy that :D
[Defy General] LetoKynes:
I think the problem with the Defy is that it's shipped with Motoblur which is by and large the cause of the "ugliness" and sluggishness of the phone.

Get Launcher Pro, I've only heard good things about it :)
[Defy General] milesg:
Sounds like you have been installing a few too many apps my friend!

One of Android's stong points is it's ability for apps to customise the interface and modify the functions of the device. However, this can also be a weakness with poorly written applications bogging things down, or as you experienced with the camera app, stopping some features from working.

I would reset your device back to it's default state, and start again, choosing carefully what you install (tip: Check the reviews and comments in the market before you hit install).
[Defy General] prophil:
I think i like the motorola blur although i dont really know where this starts and ends :D The widgets are ok and the ability to have a connection from my pc zu the android-blur from the internet is good to know if i cannot find my device or want to upload something without moving..

But, like milesg suggested, i will reset the phone.. i have to anyway because of the camera-bug. maybe i can install this launcher.. i dont want to break the phone because it is proberbly a gift for christmas.

@milesg.. i have written the reviews on androit-pitt and have installed only the very good apps.. thats what dissapointed, too. ^^
[Defy General] LetoKynes:
I wouldn't worry about "breaking" the phone, as far as I know (at least from what I've read), LauncherPro is just a simple download and install app (doesn't involve any unrooting/unlocking/etc.) so I'd definitely give it a shot.
[Defy General] MarSOnEarth:
I'm surprised by the undertones of this thread. It's a phone! It's not a general computer, it's not a GameBoy, it's a portable communication device. I have not owned a smartphone before. Well, at least not for long. I tried the HD2 Pro and thought it was a device with the clunkiest interface I ever used. I tried a Blackberry (Bold 9700) and hated the walled-off ecosystem (a reason I will never use Apple devices), and now I got the Defy and after a week of playing and tinkering with the setup I'm happy as a clam. I installed LaucherPro (and paid for the plus version although the only widget I ended up using is the calendar) and PowerBar. Then I added Pure Messanger for my unified Gmail inbox. I have no Motoblur accounts, no Social services of any kind, only two home screens (one for e-mail, and one for weather/calendar/Reuters news, and a few shortcuts), and that's it! I've got a phone with good quality calls, great speakerphone, maps, navigation, e-mail, and IM on the go. I'm happy. Less (of good quality) is more.
[Defy General] csell:
I agree with you to some extent. I just finished 2 days of getting my new phone to run, and I only persisted because I am a software developer and never give up on a computer, as small as it may be. In terms of immediate usability, my previous SonyEricsson P1 is still ahead.

just some examples: after importing my contacts through motoblur, I realized that birthdates were not mirrored in the calendar. I created a few test contacts, whose birthdates DID appear. I now decided to delete all contacts from MB and re-import through my google account. After that, the birthday events of the newly created entries were still in the calendar, even though the contacts proper were deleted. I had to root my device, install a database client app, and go directly to the Contacts/Events database to delete the entries.

This morning, the calendar widget insisted on showing yesterdays date. No way of convincing it that this was the 8th of December. Meanwhile (12:00 am) it has caught up, however.

Bottomline: if you feel this platform is still in its infancy, and it is questionable how it will ever become the platform of choice for your wife or for efficiency-oriented business purposes (in other words: non-geek usage), you have my sympathy.

sounds like you did the right things - i will investigate this for myself. But you really just confirm what has already been said. Unless one has a clear understanding of what does not work, and what alternatives are available, the DEFY (and probably any other Motorola phone, and most other brands as well) will cause a lot of frustration.
[Defy General] lisap006:
I say exchange/return it asap and get a diff andriod device before getting stuck in a 2 yr contract....but don't let that one phone give a bad rep to all android phones...get an android that doesn't come w motoblur

@prophil

Windows mobile (note not WP7) is the best OS ever, so i can understand you're disappointed.

But, be realistic, development is getting poor and WM will die soon.

All the OS available today are worst than WM but you have to chose one of them if you want to do more than calls with your phone. In my opinion Android is the best choice among those OS, that's the reason it is so popular.

[Defy General] prophil:
Well, i see that my poor englisch leads to a miss understanding. I'm not coming from Windows Mobile. I had owned a xda and and xda2i .. thats about 8 years ago i think?.. and i could get used to it. it was cool.. you could do a lot of things.. (while other phones still had monochrome displays).. but the feeling, that the OS and the Device were married like El and his wife in "married with children" is : that just doesn't work.. so i had putted it in my desk and forgot about it. for about 7 years or so. I thought things have changed.. but they haven't really.

I come from WebOS.. that was.. is.. my actual smartphone-OS. That is exactly like a OS should look und feel in my opinion.. <- that was my mind before i every tried iOS or Symbian or Android... i never will go to Apple, so my curiosity leads me to android. That should be the best, they all told me. (ok, like iOS is the best is what all the apple-people tells me). And.. its not :D

Have to ever had the chance to test webOS? :D

anyway, my work is done, im at home now and im just going to reset the device and try my luck again :D
[Defy General] rbeier1221:
Fact is Android might not be for you. But that doesn't mean it's a bad OS, just means it's not what you want in an OS.

Definitely need to take your time with downloading apps your first try out with the phone. Don't go app crazy. Download a few of them, test them out, uninstall those you don't like and go on, but don't do this with twenty apps at a time.

My first Android phone was a Cliq...believe me you are much better off with the Defy.
