Even though this provides most with a chuckle, it should be a warning to those on these boards who blindly follow any post without understanding what exactly it is their being "told" to do.

Amazingly enough, not everyone who posts steps to improve your phone, gps, speed, <<fill in the blank>>, knows what the heck they're talking about. Granted, some are very knowledgeable and can be trusted more than most... however there are those that either have no clue what they're doing or worse, know exactly what they're doing when giving out false and misleading information.

So to all those who are quick to jump without enough technical knowledge to understand what you're doing, please wait until those who do know have a chance to respond and identify falsehoods and dangerous mods.

Hello Mates,

i have a rootet HTC Desire with this ROM:

[ROM] Official 2.2 (HTC 2.09 and 2.10): busybox, A2SD+, TUN, EXT4, Undervolt, SYSRW - xda-developers

also had clockwork on it and it worked fine till i desided to upgrade my SD Card from 4 GB to 16 GB. M Hboot Menu didnt gave a an option to partitition my new sd card to ext2. Thats why i used unrevoked and flash Amonra version2 on my Phone.

It was dont but after the system reboot my Desire didnt boot

I push on button booting till Green HTC Logo with white background and reboot again. I try wipe all cache. Also flash the room again from the sd card but same result. I really dont know what i can do more. Hope you Guys can help me.

My english isnt so good, sorry about that.

Hope you guys can tell me point bye oint what i can do???

Thank you very much

Best regards

Coktail
[Desire General] luv2vexx:
where did you get the sd card from?

it may be fake. try to flash with your original sd card and try again or try flash with a different rom.
[Desire General] Coktail:
Hi,

thank you for your reply. I already fix the problem. The Problem is not the sd card.

I flash another recommended rom and everything works fine now.

I m not exactly sure when this happened, but sometime between having cyanogen and trying out one of the MIUI roms and a new overclock kernel when I choose to "charge and sync" with my PC nothing happens. I've tried other roms and other kernels but nothing seems to fix this problem.

I just figured it out, I m not sure if this is normal for other nexus ones but my debugging mode had to be turned on to access my SD card. Strange since on my older milestone debugging mode would disable the sd card.

OK, so I have a problem... :o

I'm trying to put together a simple home screen using ADW.

On the bottom all I want is the PHONE on the left / DRAWER in the middle / BROWSER on the right

And for the life of me, I cannot decide on which icons I want to use so I'm hoping I can gather an informal poll from you guys.

All the icons are from phones, most are Android, a few are not.

I labeled them all with numbers so you can just type 1 of each! :D

[Example: G1, B1, R1]

My favorite combo is the Sense Phone (G6), Gingerbread Drawer (B2), Droid-2 Browser (R4), but please pick YOUR favorite combo!

SEVERAL COMBOS IS GREAT TOO!! :cool:

Is it possible to block a connection to a specific cell tower?

For the past few months I've had trouble with my 3G data connection when I'm connected to a specific cell tower in the area where I work. I've called T-Mobile countless times and they keep assuring me the issue has been identified and they are "hard at work to resolve the problem". Well I'm tired of waiting as its been a problem for months now.

I've search the market for an app that would allow me to disable connections to specific towers but none seem to exist. Would it even be possible to develop an app that could do this?

I've been able to narrow the issue down to a specific Cell Tower ID using some of the tower data apps available. If I switch my G2 over to only use 2G data networks I don't have any issues, but then my connection is unreasonable slow obviously. There are two 3G towers my phone connects to while I'm at work, and the other one works fine, so if I could lock my phone to stay connected to THAT tower it would be great.

Sometimes my phone just disconnects from gsm network and when I try to reconnect manually I get

"unable to connect to this network at this moment"

Putting Aero mode on/off doesn't help, the only way to "fix" it is to reboot. It happens like once a day and the problem is that I can't find a way to troubleshoot it.

I didn't install any task killer, just removed some bloatware from the stock rom (rooted).

Any Idea ?

thanks

[Streak 5 General] Jez_:
Hi

Unfortunately I've screwed up my Dell Streak when trying to update it. The baseband version is now set to 'unknown' and I'm a bit too scared to tinker further in case I completely ruin it.

I was previously on the following (attached image is current configuration):

UK O2 contract. 'Locked' to O2.

Firmware Version: 1.6

Baseband Version: GAUSB1A110421-EU

Build Number: 3883

I'm still able to Fastboot files on to it, and can copy files to the memory card. I've tried a few times to put it back to factory defaults, but with no success (doesn't seem to load Update.pkg from stock recovery menu, just goes to a black screen each time. Did previously have clockworkmod running on it).

Does anyone have any ideas how I should proceed as I'm now scared I'll brick it...

Thanks :)

Does anyone know how to get it working again?
[Nexus One General] lumix2day:
Hi everyone!

The vibration motor in my Nexus One seems to have a slight fault. It normally works fine but when I use the keyboard, the vibration motor stops working after typing about 10-20 letters. I then have to slightly tap the phone on the bottom back (where the vibrator is located) and the vibrator then works for another few letters. I guess it either gets stuck or there is an electric fault with it which causes it to stop working after a few vibrations.

I had a look around but the only place I could find is a company called Global Direct Parts and they have a minimum order quantity of 150 Dollars, so that doesn't really make sense :) Is there any other company (in the UK, US, Asia - as long as they ship to the UK) which supplies this part? Or any other solution to my problem? I guess HTC itself is not an option as they will charge around 100 Dollars at least as well for replacing it.

Many thanks

[Nexus One General] nexus5894:
The built-in keyboard doesn't have a vibrate option. In fact, no part of the stock OS has a repetitive vibrate mode. I assume that it simply isn't designed to continuously rumble like this, it's a phone not a game controller.
[Nexus One General] ExtraDas:
What do you mean by this?

The keyboard has haptic feedback built in and mine work very well and continuously for very long emails so it certainly is a fault with OP's hardware.

Also, the motor IS designed for continuous rumble as it's primarily intended as a ring substitute, intended to work for at least 30 sec at a time.
[Nexus One General] codesplice:
ExtraDas is correct.

Also, if you press and hold the volume down button for a while, the phone will vibrate for as long as you hold the button down. I use that for faking incoming calls during meetings that I want to get out of :p
[Nexus One General] lumix2day:
How long is the actual warranty? Because me feeling is that the phone is now older than a year. Plus the phone is routed and HTC might argue that due to the rooting, programs have used the vibration motor in a way not designed and therefore broke it...but I guess I could give it a try and contact HTC to see what they have to say!

In regards to the part number - Global Direct Parts specifies HTC736660 as it, though this might be just their internal number as a Google search only leads back to them...and I guess there must be another company on this planet to also provide such a part.

Regarding the keyboard, the vibrator even seems to fail when I press the virtual keys on the bottom too often, it just seems to start malfunctioning once it had to vibrate a couple of times. It clearly is some sort of fault, I had a Nexus One before (then switched to Apple and back to the Nexus) and the first one never had this issue...

Just to add - incoming calls is not so much of an issue, I only had it once or twice that it didn't vibrate and it also doesn't stop half way through, small vibrations e.g. from keyboard input where the motor has to switch on and off constantly seems to be the problem, not so much to keep running once it has started. So it seems as if this 'swing element' that causes the vibrations seems to either get stuck or the motor does have a slight electric fault and sometimes can't get this element to rotate.

Thanks

Cant be a year old.......dont think it was released until early January 2010. It comes with a 1 year warranty in USA, and 2 years in the UK
[Nexus One General] dnlsmy:
HTC doesn't care if the phone is rooted or not most of the time, just don't mention it. It's not like you flashed a ROM that messed with the Vibrate key right??? Downloading a non-market app and using it does not void the warranty either. Trust me, call and just set up a swap. BEWARE! I'm on my 3rd swap and every swap I get comes a new problem (Antenna, Dust, LCD, Build). I kinda just wanna get rid of the phone now, but until then I'm going to keep swapping till I get a good one.
[Nexus One General] lumix2day:

Good to know, thanks...I had a look for my Google receipt, couldn't find it. Do you know if HTC cares as the phone (just checked) can't be older than 11 months, was released mid-January...

Is there away to lock the hardware buttons on Android???? Only want the power button to be usable when screen is off and nothing more as am increasingly noticing that when I take the phone out of my pocket or belt holder it's on... And often I don't intend to look at the phone am just placing on my desk etc... Having screen turn of after 15seconds etc is fine but how many times has it been turned accidentaly etc with out realising??? so to only have power hardware button active would be more practical just like you can on winmo phones etc..

[HTC Aria General] SlyDogJeff77:
Hey Guys. I know there are posts about over clocking and that there are threads like this in the other device forums.. BUT

Now that the new CyanogenMOD CM6.1 is out I was wondering what everyone is doing for their SETCPU profiles.

Can it please be time for us to make a thread like this for the Aria?

To start out, I'm confused about the order of my profiles.

(sorry but i don't have screen capture on the aria yet. anyone have a suggestion on what to use, PM me.)

here is what i currently have going on, highest priority first

100) Temp >50"C = 122"F then.. max 600, min 245, ondemand

75) screen off = max 245, min 245, ondemand

50) charging/full = max 864, min 245, ondemand

40) batt < 10% = max 245, min 245, powersave

30) batt < 25% = max 480, min 245, ondemand

20) batt < 50% = max 600, min 245, ondemand

so my biggest concern is if the temp gets too hot.. scale back to the default max of 600mhz.

if the screen is off then i'm not using my phone so slow the roll

if the batt is full or charging and the screen is on then FULL SPEED AHEAD!!!

if the batt is less than 10%, slow down as much as possible

if the batt is less than 25%, take it easy to conserve power

if the batt is less than 50%, bring it back down to the default max of 600mhz

does that make sense?
[HTC Aria General] winsettr:
Check out "screenshot" by Gik Soft, small and simple, shake to take a screenshot.

Your interpretation of the profiles looks fine to me. For screen off, powersave limits the CPU to the minimum speed anyway, so min=max is redundant.

I noticed quite a bit more battery drain when using profiles (because SetCPU is constantly monitoring your device) but results may vary. Personally, I only boost the CPU for games and documents, and SetCPU will typically bump your phone down to minimum when idle anyway (assuming you don't have intensive background apps running).
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
I noticed the same, using profiles seems to drain my battery faster. So I just manually toggle my clock speeds. If you set to on demand you dont really even need to worry about a screen off profile. And when my battery starts to get low I just scale down the speed. The only time I've ever come close to needing a temp profile was if overclocked to 825 and using my phone intensively while it was charging...i never go over 806 anymore so temp is never a problem.

I can however see profiles being useful if you keep your phone overclocked to the max all the time.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbarayah:
What kinds of widgets do you have running in the background and how often are they pulling data?

Also, how many days have you been on CM 6.1? I upgraded from RC3 and my battery life is much improved. The first two days it was eating a lot as it 'calibrated' itself but now I can easily make it through a full days use with about 40% to spare.

I adjusted my background widgets and how often they pulled data and this really helped my battery life. Also, a poor signal can have VERY ADVERSE affects on battery life. For example, I work in a prison where cell phone reception is awful. If I am at work for 3 hours and leave the phone in 3G mode, I can easily go through 30% battery while the phone tries to find a signal...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crey23:
Any idea how long will it take the batt tocalibrate???? I did the recalibration process on thurday night, and my battery sucks now.

I'm sitting on 49% only 4 hours unplugged. Before I was getting somewhere around 55-60% at this time interval...

Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convolution:
Alright boys try this. I got over 2 days worth of lifetime with this set up.

-Download SetCPU

Set your profile to 245/245 screen off with priority at 100%.

-Turn brightness to 0%

-Turn GPS off (Go to Settings->Location and Security-> turn off all that GPS crap

-Leave 3G off until you actually need it, then turn it back off after you're done with it

-Leave bluetooth off

-Don't have garbage widgets lying all over the place on 7 homescreens. I only have like 5 widgets spread out on 2 homescreens.

Are you guys running CM 6.1? Cause I am.

Did you guys overclock?

Thank me if it worked out for you =P
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crey23:
Convolution Thanks for the reply, but im more interested in getting a few more hours but with certain level of freedom. I am not all that interested in switching things on and off every time I need them, but I understand what you mean.

I'm looking to get 16 hours of moderate use...that should be plenty. I currently turn off wi-fi and gps since I seldom use gs, and wifi is governed by a profile manager, and it's on only at night.

but setting connection down to 2G, and killing all screen brightness renders the device (IMHO) useless. Also, SetCPU @245 100%, would really hinder the device.

I am running CM6.1 Stable and I am running OC'd @ 1497, but on "On Demand" profile, so to use only as needed.

I still have to try Pershoot's kernel, I think I will flash it tonight to see what happens.

I am also experiencing some oddity with my screen time-out feature...it's not working.....my screen refuses to turn off by itself, I have to lock the device physically for it to take effect....not sure what changed...but the regular parameters are set properly.
