[G2 and Desire Z General] going_home:
Several months after the Nexus.

Which is why I will probably end up going back to the Nexus after its updated.

The G2 was touted as being vanilla Android but its not really.

So it will be however long TMO takes to port Gingerbread for the G2.

It wont be Google we are waiting on.

;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Vandam500:
OTA several months after maybe so, custom rom no. Come on buddy, you are posting on XDA. Soon after the Gingerbread source is released you can bet anything that one of the rom makers will bake it into one of their roms or release a rooted version of it...

Sigh.

[G2 and Desire Z General] andrewklau:
Doesnt the evo4 already have some small port already? Anyway I'm pretty sure Cyanogen is already 50% through the new gingerbread source code. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] phoenx06:
Source code isn't out yet
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Through the SDK, perhaps ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] going_home:
I understand but those that are technically challenged (skeered of bricking our phones)

Have to wait on the OTA update.

:(
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidEyez:
I agree on that by the time they release it OTA I will have the Nexus S by then maybe even another toy. But the only reason why I love Android is the modding it's the greatest part of all I have all the custom rom's on both the Nexus One and G2 and flash sometimes multiple times a day waiting for the OTA weres the fun in that?
[G2 and Desire Z General] legato89:
Meh, nothing that amazing in Gingerbread anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z General] creepinm3:
Only thing amazing is that on / off animation...
[G2 and Desire Z General] nivlac978:
It may not be crazy amazing stuff but I'm always down for some performance tweaks and fixes. And that on off animation is totally worth it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] infrared90:
The HTC rep at training said that The G2 would get Gingerbread the same week as the Nexus One. There, I finally contributed something useful to XDA,hopefully.

[G1 General] didi_X9:
Hello Forum!

After using a G1 with stock Android 1.6 for quite a while, about 1 month ago I decided to try out a custom ROM.

With ROMmanager I installed clockwork recovery and Cyanogen 6.0. Some time later I switched to 6.1 RC1. I don't know why, but Cyanogen turned out to be very slow on my G1, so 2 days ago I decided to go back to the original one. For this, from ROMmanager I selected the backup made before 1st flashing to be restored.

So far, everything went ok. Stock 1.6 is back and runs smoothly. However, the keyboard layout is wrong. I've german keyboard layout. That was correct with 1.6 and also with Cyanogen. But after restore it's wrong.

I tried to restore the system partition from the backup again (in nandroid), where the keyboard layout files are. Even after resetting to factory default (from 1.6 system menu) that didn't change.

Any idea what went wrong and how I can fix this?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soundhacking:
Hi everyone!

I'm having kind of a special problem.

I'm an electro acoustic musician and finds the Desire a lot of fun.

My new project is to use its accelerometer etc and for that I need to connect it to my Mac running OSX 10.6.5.

The issue I'm having is that my network (campus ish) won't allow me to open any ports. I don't think it's a good idea to hack it, so my next idea is to create a network between my Mac and my Desire. This network won't have access to the internet.

It also has to be via Wifi since the app I'm using only allows communication through wifi and my java skills aren't good enough to edit the apk.

I therefore run Oxygen 1.0 (GREAT rom btw) which is supposed to accept ad-hoc, and my computers own network does show up when i browse it in my phone.

The problem is that it dosn't connect since it isn't given an ip. I imagine there has to be a solution to this and I'm just not seeing it. I'm also thinking it could be an OSX issue and not really a question for this forum, but I'm pretty sure it should be possible to just make the phone not requesting an internet ip.

I've tried to set a static IP but this won't work ether.

Does anyone have a clue on how to do? I'm quite desperate really. Been searching for a solution online for quite some time and I haven't found the right one. Probably because most people using ad-hoc want it's phone to connect to the internet and therefore not having my kind of trouble. Unfortunately I have no way of connecting my computer to the router with wire since the router is about 400 meters away. Once of corse, but i really need a wireless solution in the long run.

Thanks!

Hi I am in colchester in the UK and am looking for some help rooting and flashing a sense 2.0 Rom from the desire hd I have a debranded Orange desire and would like to try the new sense the trouble is I have read some of the stuff regarding this and it confuses the hell out of me so if anyone is best by and has some spare time and knows how to do it I would really appreciate the help
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Read up more and ask questions, all the information is on here. Tbh, if you're not sure what youre doing you shouldn't have even rooted
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djbandit:
I haven't rooted that's why I'm asking for help
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
The thing is that all the info you need to root is already here and probably repeated at least 100 times in individual [q] threads.

The most beginner friendly guide is probably Turkey's.

When you have root and learn to flash a custom rom, go to the Desire Index and look for one of the "Sense HD ROMS", choose one flash it and you are done :).
[Desire HD General] guinnes.s:
The dial pad tone on my Dhd has become very very low that I can hardly ear it,that sound setting don't help,any ideas?thanx
[Desire HD General] ddotpatel:
Try installing audio manager from market and turn up system volume,... not sure where to find the system volume in phone settings but audio manager is good.
[Desire HD General] guinnes.s:
Sorted the problem thanx,still weird how the system volume whent low.
[Desire HD General] bobomobile:
How'd you fix it?

(never mind) ... Why was it low in the first place?
[Desire HD General] mwatson:
Mine does this toodame happens to lock/unlock sound. I think it routes the sound to the call speaker instead of the rear speaker
[Desire HD General] andreasy:
Now that you mention it, I have the same. All my volume settings are set to Full and in sound options, I have selected to have sounds fr dial pad and for touch screen and for lock/unlock. I don't think they are redirected to call speaker because I don't hear sound there either.

Anyone found a solution without installing 3rd party app?
[Desire HD General] andreasy:
Ok, looked deeper into it and discovered that actually the only solution is the audio manager. It seems to be a must have as Android misses critical volume settings on its interface. That application is the only way to allow you to adjust the volume.

That's no excuse for HTC, Google or whoever is responsible for the Android OS or DHD. (really, who is responsible? I never thought that) :)
[Desire HD General] erezak:
Going to give it a try myself as well.

Chefs, is there something that can be done on your end?
[Desire HD General] braby:
I use Sound Manager for this issue...happened to me twice already...
[Desire HD General] rjaitley:
Other applications are responsible for this.

I too had faced this problem and suddenly the tones of dial pad were gone on my htc desire, it was only vibrating. The settings of Sound were all fine, still no tone. So being a tester I am, I backtracked and remembered what all I did.

It turned out when we install applications in Android we give them access to core functionalities of system. I had used Fring application prior in the day, where I had used Fring's Dialer pad. I logged into fring again went to dialer pad, increased volume and indicator said "Volume" unlike any other indicator of volume in HTC Desire. After increasing the volume, I logged out and went to phone dialer again, and tones were back. So our applications are responsible for turning down volume. A centralized application which controls all application can come in handy and there are few in android market available.

Hope this helped :)
[Desire HD General] johns159:
I have deleted some apps from my phone following this problem but seemed to make no difference... today however the volume on dialer has returned to normal??? But also the noises on the qwerty pad now sound like an old fashioned typewriter??? My 4 yr old was messing with phone earlier but checked settings I can think of and nothing has changed... confused!
[Desire HD General] humeid:
yea i got the same problem tried emailing HTC they dont know anything about it they just replied with

Kindly go to Menu>settings>sounds>check:

audible touch screen

audible selections

screen lock sounds

:/

thanx for XDA or i would've never sort it out

I have MCCM and Froyo. I want to know if i can boot to Froyo from MCCM without going to windows.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xhanay:
Nope, not at the moment. Since android runs off the SDCard and windows resides on the flashable NAND memory windows always loads before it's shut off by Haret. When the DFT team releases the Magldr, then you might be able to do what you're asking for. Hope that answers your question.

Hi guys

I have the MDJ FroYo HD v.4.4 build on my HD2, a friend recommended i tried MiUi so i put it on to my sd card booted it up then went back to MDJ's build and received an error when i turn on WiFi and excessive battery drain, far more than normal! since deleting MiUi folder from sd card battery seems to have got better but still error on WiFi. is it even possible to have two types of android on your sd card? Or am i just unlucky?

Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks for your time :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
I have 3 different android builds on my SD card without any problems, so I'm not sure what's wrong with yours.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
MIUI builds create another Android folder beside it's original file, that may have conflicted with your MDJ's
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dung8604:
Almost all android builds create other files on SD card. Normally they shouldn't conflict with each other but its possible your miui overwrote or corrupted something in your dhd build. Also possible for there to be little bits of programming still lingering around.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tidygrant:
Cheers guys. Appreciate the help :)
[Windows Mobile] smithisize:
Alright, so I'm trying to build a winmo 6.5 build to compliment my 6.5.x release, but I'm running into fundamental problems.

Foremost is the fact that I can't tap the start menu soft key. All it does is bring up notification manager :/

Sense 2019 also doesn't display quicklinks.

Aside from that... I think everything looks OK. Those are kind of big issues though lol

Thanks

Regards

Smith

Edit: Solved.

Ended up being notification enhancement. I downgraded from 2018 to 2016 and now it works perfectly, the start button that is.

I fixed the quicklinks in sense on accident honestly, I'm not sure what did it. But they're working again now as well.

Well when you sign up with qik you get you own spot in their website. It will be qik.com/(your username) with this you can broadcast live on a computer. Just tell whoever you want your site address and also it saves your videos for later viewing the streaming is a but slow but its not all that choppy. Also you can video chat with yahoo messenger to other yahoo people and msn people.

But next time if you have a question please put it in q&a section.

Thank you

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] golfprorm:
The biggest problem with most calendar apps is that they tie to your Google account on the device. Of course, nobody has been able to get Google sign-ins fully working on the NC. I would imagine once they get that figured out, the stock calendar and many 3rd party calendars will work.

How to Sync Calendar

Easy - just go to your Gmail account setup. You will see a box for "Add New Account". Just add your GMail account again - YES, do this. You will then see a screen for syncing stuff - on it will be an option for syncing "Calendar" - check this.

Now you can sync Google Calendar on your PC with that on the Nook Color!

There's also a PC App for syncing your Google Calendar (on PC) with your Outlook Calendar.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] KryptoNyte39:
I've been using a combination of [paid] "Puregrid Calendar" Widget and [free] "Synker" to keep my Gmail calendar sync'd with the Nook Color. It has a nice full month calendar widget on the home screen that I really like.

I wasn't aware there was any reliable to way to sync the Gmail calendar with the device, so I'll have to give the mentioned method a shot and see if I can maybe get rid of Synker (although I like being able to sync on demand with a device that isn't connected to the Internet 24/7).

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderdroid:
T-Mobile 3G is 4x faster than ATT 3G.

And wtf guys?

I'm pretty sure the Nexus S natively supports AT&T 3G:

Quad-band GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900

Tri-band HSPA: 900, 2100, 1700

http://www.google.com/nexus/#!/tech-specs

"AT&T uses the 850/1900 MHz frequency spectrum for 3G data"

"T-Mobile exclusively uses the AWS 1700/2100 MHz frequency-ban"

Here we have 850, 1900, 1700, and 2100.

This is full 3g for ANYTHING. Whether it's T-Mobile, AT&T, Europe.. blah.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeroSX:
Quad-band GSM applies to EDGE/Voice only. HSPA bands on the phone are what you need to be looking at when determining 3g capability.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderdroid:
Ah ic. Guess I'm wrong then. Facepalm.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ztm.000:
It seems as though history might repeat itself. I would be willing to bet this phone will (or already does) exist in an AT&T flavor. I wouldn't mind taking a break from the iP4 for a bit, especially with this device. The reason I gave up my 3GS was for the N1, and it was groundbreaking and revolutionary. I don't know if I have the same thoughts on this device (because dual cores will probably be unveiled at CES '11), but nonetheless, this phone is and will be epic in it's own right, and always will be. I'm excited as hell for this device.

That was the 1900Mhz bands, which AT&T USED to use for 3G. They're slowly phasing it out, and only some metros where they originally rolled out 3G still use those bands. They mainly use 850Mhz for 3G.
