[Desire HD General] phonex1:
VLC is no longer on app store. It was pulled a couple months ago over some legal troubles.

I am also intrigued. But battery life needs to be good. From the looks of it all the users reporting good battery life are ones who use it more like a phone than a portable computer. I use the iPhone a lot since it allows me not to sit in front of the laptop for a lot of things (although my app count on my phone is laughable, a meager 13 lol). But the small screen is just crap and the closed ness and buggy winterboard are meh. I know the captivate has good battery life but the buggy GPS was too much to keep it.

Also I heard juice defender doesn't support CM7 (no gingerbread support) and I really want to run CM7 on my phone :( Is this true? Juice defender would be such a life saver.

So what do you guys think, DHD or Inspire or Atrix (eww locked ness similer to iPhone lol) or wait for a ATT compatible Nexus S? Also for those who are power users of the DHD, how is your battery life really? as in for x minutes of surfing/reading/music/movies etc.
[Desire HD General] Vispe85:
Basic juicedefender (the stable one on android market) doesn't have full gingerbread support yet. BUT you can always sign up on latedroid private beta for a jd version that has full 2.3 support and as I've been using it since it's been available it has been running very smoothly with the latest cm7 nightlies.

And I wouldn't really worry too much about the battery life, it gets you through the day with no problem. I use mine with almost every possible thing running through the day with juice defender peak schedule during office hours, 1-1,5h of music while training, screen on time somewhere between 1,5-3h and some calls etc during the day. It doesn't hurt to get a desktop charger for occasional charging though :rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] Cooltrip:
I've made the switch, and intially I regretted it because I knew how to do everything on my iPhone and the Desire HD seemed alien and weird to me. Plus I wasn't overly impressed with the battery life but i've sorted that now by removing all the irritating stock Apps that update needlessly in the background. Now I absolutely love my desire hd and wouldn't change back for anything! :)
[Desire HD General] dejongj:
I had iPhones since they were launched, and an iPad, and a few other Apple Products...But I was bored with the same tech last summer and bought myself SGS after my wife got herself a cheap Legend deal. The SGS was such a pile of unuseable rubbish at the time out of the box that I had to use distant selling regulation to return it. I still wanted to give Android a go and got the DHD on launch day.

I guess it is good enough as I have still got it. But can't say it wows me. Yes lots of megapixels but the camera is still a joke. Sure you can have lots of screen candy with widgets and the clouds/lightning (which slows down regularly to such a degree you can't press any of the icons), but after a while it gets boring again.

There is just this lack of finesse imo, it tempts you in with shiny colours and widgets but actually do they aid using the phone on a day to day basis. Not really in my opinion.

Something that wowd me the other day on iOS, I was watching a movie on the AppleTV in our lounge. I didn't finish it downstairs, had my iPad synching with my Macbook as it was connected. Then in bed I woke up and decided to watch the end. The iPad video player continued exactly at the same spot where I paused it on the Apple TV. That is just one example of everyday little things of integration across multiple platforms that is great.

Oh and don't get me started on how Google contacts compresses your contact photos, or can't deal with people who have a prefix, double barrelled first name, middle name, surname, postfix without messing it up during syncs.

Then there is the malware floating around on the official market eek!

But undeniably the notification system on Android is good.

As said in the beginning the DHD is good enough, now I'm running revolution/kama kernel, with improved battery life, to not want to throw out of the window every five minutes. And there is no denying the big public will buy lots of Android phones.

But come June, I'll be switching back.
[Desire HD General] lawrence750:
I had a hero, then got a free 3gs, I just never would buy one because so many people had one. The 3gs was smoother to use and was a bit better, but my god the restrictions on what I could do with it makes my blood boil. I can only forward calls all the time for instance, rather than having the option to forward only under certain circumstances ie no signal, or busy etc.

Apple really have designed the iPhone for simple minded people, so get the iPhone if you like being told what to do. Android at least gives you the choice.

The apps are so much better now, iPhone just has 50 of the same apps (with a different name) which makes up their numbers, i genuinely think that android market apps as a whole have more functionality than iPhone.

And btw the dhd is just brilliant. Love it.(its fully multitasking and still lighting fast)
[Desire HD General] dejongj:
You can do conditional forwarding very easily on an iPhone, and any phone actually depending on who your network provider is.

So considering you suggest they are only for simple minded people and if you don't know how to do that. Well I wouldn't dare to draw a conclusion ;-)
[Desire HD General] phonex1:
for me it was the opposite. I had the galaxy captivate and it seamed really fast and brilliant. However even after the custom ROM the GPS was crap so I went back to iPhone 4 however I had no other complaints with the phone. Just a great phone all around with one messed up GPS.

I must say once I have had the taste of Android, everytime I see an android phone I have that itch to go get it. I love the open source nature. I am not big on apps and the galaxy was great when playing videos and music which is really what I need more than cut the rope etc. iPhone 4 is great but jailbreaking doesn't make the iOS any friendlier. Maybe it is just me, I like Apple's design but their OS never interests me no matter how user friendly it is. OS X was ok but I like Windows more. Similarly iPhone 4 is ok for now but I would love to get my hands on a SGS2 once it comes.

Custom ROM is the way to go with Android. It is just like linux, not mass user friendly but great once customized to your needs.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etacv:
All,

I received a replacement N1 yesterday from HTC as my previous one developed an earpiece issue. After unlocking the bootloader for the first time, it seems that the phone is overheating and randomly rebooting. I reflashed to stock, with the only exception being the unlocked bootloader using a guide found on this forum.

This was my first experience unlocking the bootloader and trying to flash a rom. I've attached a logcat to see if any info can be provided.

Thanks.

EDIT:

N1 - 1 day old HTC refurb

2.2.1

FRG83

Baseband - 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04

Kernel - 2.6.32.9-27240-gbca5320
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
Is the phone actually getting hot?

This is why I don't get why people get a phone and IMMEDIATELY start loading custom ROMs and such on it.. Use it stock for a few days to make sure it's good.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etacv:
No it's not getting overly hot. My original N1 got much hotter.

Its my fault for not waiting, I do realize this.

I did wait 6 hours or so, but I know it wasn't enough. Got a bit anxious to load CM6.1.

I had first accidentally loaded Insecure boot which made the rebooting much more common, but went back to stock, and loaded superboot. Everything was fine for a little while, then the rebooting started again.

Just trying to see if I can figure out the issue before giving HTC a call.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
when i got my nexus back in early january, i dont think that i waited more than a hour before i unlocked the bootloader :) anyways, your phone seems fine. iy could just be the stock rom you flashed or kernel panics(i doubt). flash cyanogenmod and see if you still get the reboots. unlocking the bootloader doesnt have anything to do with a phone overheating and rebooting. besides, what is overheating? how hot does it get? ive gotten mine to 49C(120F) before :eek:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etacv:
Well that's the thing, it really hasn't gotten that hot. I was just assuming it could be related as it was rebooting after sitting on the charger for a while or trying to download multiple apps from the Market. I was able to get as far as downloading ROM Manager and was part way through the CM6.1 download when the reboots from hell came back.

I used the Signed Passion FRG83 images to reflash.

I'm now attempting to format the SD card to see if it changes anything.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
it sounds like youre stressing the phone(kernel). try to download 1 thing at a time for now. are you overclocked by chance?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etacv:
I am not. The phone is bone stock at the moment.

Hm, it looks like i'm on FRG83 not 83D. The SD card is having some issues unmounting and i'm not receiving the OTA update to 83D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killless:
Yes - it is overheating!

My original phone did not have the problem. Every replacement phone I got from HTC crashes after 5 minutes or less on every application that made my original phone warm to the touch.

Applications that cause this:

RoboDefense

Tower Raiders

Speed Pi (run multiple times)

Curling

I am trying to get HTC to send me a 3rd replacement!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etacv:
So as an update I formatted the SD card, and it seemed to have helped for a while.

I had the phone in the charger last night and was speaking on the phone for about 10-15 minutes until it started rebooting again. This time it was stuck on the X so i had to remove the battery.

Not sure what's going on...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etacv:
So looking through the logcat's i've noticed these lines as failed:

E/Zygote ( 58): setreuid() failed. errno: 17

W/DevicePolicyManagerService( 78): failed parsing /data/system/device_policies.xml java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/system/device_policies.xml (No such file or directory)

D/SntpClient( 78): request time failed: java.net.UnknownHostException: north-america.pool.ntp.org

I'm not sure if it means anything.

The firmware was downgraded to FRG33 and OTA updated to FRG83D

Will probably be sending this back and hoping the unlocked bootloader won't make it cost a fortune to repair...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvdacyr:
hello,

i recently switched from an iphone to a samsung focus.

i have an XM Radio Online account that i used to listen to on my iphone via an app called pocket tunes and the mobile.musicdock website. there was also a sirius-xm app for the iphone, but that did not let you play all the channels like pocket tunes did.

i've tried going to XM's listen now site, but cannot get to play. i have also tried going right to mobile.musicdock.com, but again cannot get the player to launch.

i searched the market and did not see anything.

are there any apps, or a way to listen to a satellite radio online account on a wp7, or samsung focus to be exact?

thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
if you can't find it in the market place, probably not. the best thing to try is to goto the site where it has it for iPhone and ask them if they have any plans for windows phone.

Hi guys!

Today I tried to get the rooted desire with Android 2.2 with unrevoked 3.21

Previosly I updated to 2.29.405.2 SW

When I run the unrevoked it (desire) freezed on "waiting for root" step. Desire freezed in boot progress (white screen with HTC logo on it)

I removed battery and inserted it again. But I cant boot it, desire freezes on the same white screen with HTC logo.

I can HBOOT, but when I go to recovery menu my device goes to reboot and freez.

So it seems that unrevoked spoiled my recovery and I do not know hot to fix it.

Please guide me, the working solution will be donated $20

--------------

Radio version: 5.11.05.27.

SPL/hboot version: 0.93.0001.

product: bravo.

mid: pb9920000.

security: on.

build-mode: ship.

Device model is not SAPPHIRE - flash old/new disabled.

This device does not have s-off nor eng hboot.

Thanks!

Flash a stock RUU and try again, you can get 2.29.405.2 from my signature. Remember to use a gold card if you had to in the past
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellt:
How can I flash the RUU without access to recovery?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
You should flash it via fastboot.

Hold the back button and turn on your phone to enter FASTBOOT, then connect your phone to the pc with the usb cable and then run the ruu.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellt:
Did it as you said, result is the same

After the successful flash procedure thru RUU device went to reboot and freezed at the same white screen state.

Recovery is still unavailable to get into.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellt:
Now I will try to get the logged data thru Android SDK.

This thing is really mess me up =( I'm phoneless.

You, guys, are the one and only hope.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellt:
I have installed SDK, but I cant see anything in adb logcat but "waiting for device", thogh my device is conneted via fastboot usb.

Any clue?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Latty:
I had that same issue, and it turns out it was a problem with the earlier version of clockworkmod (2.5.0.1) that had that issue, where freezing occurred at the HTC splash screen.

Try unrevoked again, with the 2.5.0.7 image here:

http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.img

Make sure you select the image when you start unrevoked.

It might fail a few times (freezing at splash), but if it does, just pull the battery and keep trying....eventually it'll manage to go through.

Good luck =)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellt:
Latty, how can I run unrevoked with a desired image if I cant boot the phone to get it recognized by unrevoked?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waebi:
you have to start the flasher without the phone being connected, then you should be able to select the image (top left of window).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellt:
yes found it, but when I connect my phone via Hboot usb or fastboot usb - unrevoked does not recognize the connected device. :confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Follow the unrevoked guide to install the drivers. Also uninstall HTC drivers before that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellt:
Already done it. Installed drivers from unrevoked package. But still my phone doesnt get recognized by unrevoked.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
It still is a driver issue.

Start from scratch..

Remove all HTC Drivers

Reboot

DC from internet

Connect phone in two modes-Android, Fastboot

It should get recognized but drivers shouldnt be installed and you should be prompted for driver location. If you arent prompted, get Device Manager, uninstall the driver which recognized the device.

Now install Unrevoked drivers as per guide.

Phone should be recognized..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellt:
Ok, thanks will do it now.

But one more question, should it be recognized from hboot usb mode with "Android Bootloader interface" driver, or from fastboot mode?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Cant confirm that without my phone..

But, I believe drivers would recognize it in both..And seperate drivers too..

A small tip..If you have dual boot, try Unrevoked in another OS in which you havent installed HTC. Should work
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellt:
Faced with problems

1) I uninstalled HTC Drivers.

2) plugged phone and deleted Bootloader interface device then Boot Interface device.

3) rebooted

4) disconnected from internet

5) plugged and powered device and got Bootloader Interface driver installed without a single promt!!! And Boot interface as well.

So I had no chance to manually set the path to the drivers. And unrevoked still doesnt see the device =(

It turns out that I should try another OS???

PS and the key point, should it be recognized in hboot mode or unrevoked only works with booted to OS devices only?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Not really..But that's the easy way out..

Difficult to show you what exactly to delete..

Mostly these are driver clashes..When you uninstall the driver you should tick the option to delete the driver from system.

Try again and you know you've succeeded when it doesnt find any driver installed, and asks you for the location, when you can choose the unrevoked drivers..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellt:
Hm, I cant find any options prompting to delete driver from the system... But I will look into more carefully.

ADDED

Found it, trying now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellt:
Tried, was promted to specify the path to the drivers, installed again and with no luck =( Unrevoked doesnt see the device.

I will try it tomorrow on another PC and with another OS.

Thanks for help, I really appreciate this, and I hope we will find a solution.

PS. Is this problem called USB brick?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffois:
Having the same issue...

I have this same issue - have followed all instructions laid out in this post, but Unrevoked is still not detecting the device.

Have tried booting the device in Bootloader as well as Fastboot, but Unrevoked does not detect.

It tells me that it is waiting for the device and to enable USB debugging - this would suggest the device MUST be booted into the Android OS before rooting? Is there ANY way to do this if the device will not boot past the white "HTC" splash screen (I get this when booting device normally, or when selecting RECOVERY from the bootloader screen)

This has occurred after attempting to install GingerNinja ROM using ClockWork Mod application from within a working 2.2 build.

Any help or links to a relevant thread are greatly appreciated!!

hallo hellt,

i feel so grateful, you cannot imagine.

i was fighting 2 days to unbrick my desire messing around with recovery, update.zip, RUUs, PB99IMGs, ADB drivers, downgrading HBOOT and so on.

with no results except error messages like "signature verification failed", "old version", "waiting for device".

the only thing which finally worked and saved me from a heart attack was your PB99img.zip.
