Thanks for the replies! My WP7 phone is just to gauge if I really want WP7 or not...the HD2 will be running Gingerbread as soon as a good release comes out :)

Is there a list of recommended SD-cards for the replacement?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaspaworks:
The phone comes with a Sandisk microSDHC class 4 card, so it's best to replace it with a same card. Though on the forum people are recommending both Kingston and Sandisk class 4 cards up to 32gb.

Hello bambinos fellow friends.

If i was you and you helped me.

Which phone would i go for and the reason why:

HTC HD7

or

LG OPTIMUS 2X ?

I tell you what i want a phone to do for me, I want a phone that contains lots of (social chat apps) (lots of interesting and intertainment and productivity and lifestyle apps) I dont make much calls but i do make lots of (texting sms to friends)

pretty much i would use a phone that lets me stay intertainment of everything has to offer for the (apps store) and for (text sms to friends)

NEGATIVE SIDES: i dont like facebook i dont like twitter and defently i dont like sharing my personal photos to people around the world. I dont like games and just games...

However i do like to play (some games for apps) but not allways dedicated to apps as i preffered more the social ladies chat apps around the clobe that has people there using it.

So Which phone would i choose if i was to get one lets say in NOVEMBER 2011

Remember HTC HD7 is windows phone 7

And LG OPTIMUS 2X is (android)

Remember HTC HD7 has a new update for MANGOS soon in SEPTEMBER. (but that wont change any differents to what i will like in the apps store) considering android has the social chat apps i enjoy the most and infact wp7 dont have any social chats that i normaly use....

But mangos wont bring lots of social app chats just like what android has to offer.

'

However i dont like just games on the phone... and i dont just browse the internet websites with a tiny phone. I use it more for downloading fun and intertainment and productivity and social apps and lots of allways SMS texting.

But which one would be much better and the reason WHY if i was to (EXAMPLE) choose any one of them in NOVEMBER 2011

I allready own HTC HD7 but this is just an example between 2 phones.

My htc hd7 is 99% boring because the apps they have doesnt interest me. But which phone would u recommend and why if i was to get one example lets say NOVEMBER 2011 ?

best regards

sandra

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichelLoyen:
@tiwas keep in mind that replacing the internal SD card will break your waranty. So be carefull ;)

Furthermore...I would choose the HTC over the LG also (especially if you don't care for DLNA). You could also consider the HTC HD7S which features the SuperLCD screen which is a improvement over the "old" LCD screen of the HD7 (in terms of contrast etc.).

Hi,

Anyone got the FM radio working in Froyo?

I read this and got in working in 2.1, but it seems it does not work after upgrading:

[Streak 5 General] vn33:
I have "TuneIn Radio" which was included in Rogers official 2.2 Upgrade. It is working and I have used it. However, this is an Internet radio app which uses the data plan. Is this what you mean ? Unless you mean a FM tuner app ?
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
Some versions of streakdroid included an FM radio (the streak can do fm, it just has no default app like hence the thread)

Have you tried the one in streakdroid or are you on stock firmware? (to everyone in thread)

This is the one included with streakdroid 1.8.1, I havnt tried it myself so I'm not 100% sure

Hi Guys,

Where can I get the latest fm_hcitool file? Actually, who owns this file Broadcom or Texas Instrument?

I copied it to /system/bin of my 407 Official Gingerbread ROM and so far using the Spirit FM app as the Streak FM has no volume control. Any other alternative old school FM apps out there?
[Streak 5 General] hunderteins:
@Ritchrob: I'm using FM_radio from fu0212. Google for it "FM_radio.rar fu0212". The rar includes fm_hcitool.

Sadly there is no volume control either, but it works well on Streak 5, is prettier than Streak Radio and it is free.

good luck
[Streak 5 General] ritchrob:
Thanks. Will try to search for it. By the way, the Spirit FM has a volume control. The developer claims that he got the "good" fm_hcitool which also can shift the volume from the headphones to speaker phone.
[Streak 5 General] hunderteins:
fm_hcitool vs fm_hcitool_speaker

Imho there are two fm_hcitools out there. One from fm_hcitool.rar and another one from fm_hcitool_speaker.rar:

$ md5sum fm_hcitool

923841dc45be4166beb54c5e4bce589b fm_hcitool

$ md5sum fm_hcitool_speaker

bf44d89eee9792234da69d9b5d6c3527 fm_hcitool_speaker

They differ only on one occation:

$ cmp -l fm_hcitool fm_hcitool_speaker

4061 23 22

$ hci_tool 9 1

...

rx device = 34137363

...

$ fm_hcitool_speaker 9 1

...

rx device = 34137362

...

But I don't get them to switch over. Once the loudspeaker is activated, fm_hcitool won't switch back to the headphone and vice versa. Only a reboot of the device let me switch that.

I think "Spirit Radio FM" uses fm_hcitool_speaker, because I read a complaint in a german forum, that this app won't use the headphones.

There is also some negative impact on bluetooth after using one of the fm_hcitool programes. I think that drains the battery until next reboot.

A good start for FM-Radio on Streak 5 is at http:// android. modaco. com/index.php?app=forums&module=forums&section=attach&tid=318792
[Streak 5 General] DellStreakuser:
Spirit FM Radio

I have been using the Spirit FM Radio form the Market which has the fm_hcitool debugging function in-built and it works fine for me. As someone mentioned, it is slightly buggy and when I listen to radio and after i switch over to the music player without properly switching off the radio, music starts playing straight on the phone speakers even if the earphones are plugged in.
[Streak 5 General] cyruspy:
How do you verify that the hardware "is there"?
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
Hardware wise: you dont need to, all snapdragons have fm radio support

Qualcomm Snapdragon - Wikipedia

It's just the matter of the manufacturer making the drivers and software available for it in the stock rom. The Streak/Venue/Venue pro all dont have it due to software but the Streak Pro will.

Dell obviously had a great deal of trouble getting it to work on the streak and decided it wasnt worth the time/money to get it working as it's not a major selling point. They did get a fm radio stage widget running, but they removed the fm part of it with the release of 3xx/2.2 as apparently it had enough issues to warrent removing

Found a solution to all radio problems in Dell Streak!!

I have a rooted Dell Streak 5 running on MIUI 2.4.2 ROM...

I had was using Streak Radio for a while but was having difficulties below:

1. Radio volume cannot be controlled. It operates on full volume normally. When a call comes or alarm goes off, volume falls to very low levels.

2. When a call comes, radio does not stop automatically. Radio sound and caller voice get mixed up and we cannot hear what they are saying.

3. When call ends, radio does not start automatically.

Glad to tell you guys that I have found a nice solution to all these problems :laugh:

I bought Sony Ericsson MW600 bluetooth headset.

This is a bluetooth hands-free and has an in-built radio too.

Sound clarity is excellent.

I can control the volume, radio automatically stops when a call comes and automatically starts again when call is ended.

You can also use it to hear songs with excellent clarity.

Just thought to inform everyone using Dell Streak 5 because I was really annoyed by the limitations in the in built radio.

You will all take the level of importance of this question as your own but I have had a query burning in my mind for a while.

I know that currently the Android OS is a BUILD and it takes a wm ROM to launch off, but I was wondering is there a way for the HTC LEO to run DROID ONLY and never have to associate itself or use WM ROMS ever again. Essentially I am asking is there a way to create a ANDROID ROM for the HTC LEO?

Note: Can the answers be open minded and not fuelled by programmers knowledge as most programmers I know will only give answers in the current boundaries of technology, but I do urge you to remember that at one point Computers were impossible...but they did it. I hope the programmers here do not take offence to this, I just want to know is it theoretically possible.

Thank you in advance.

My phone is only three color mode, if i switch on. I try different rom upgrade but nothing. What i can do?
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
A little more information is needed:

What does the 3 color screen tell?

What happens if you execute a ROM update?

How do you try to make the ROM update, shipped ROM (which) or a cooked ROM (which)?

Has the device ever worked?

Which ROM was on the device before it got stuck in bootloader (3 color screen)?
[HTC Tornado] Dexu:
Tri-color screen meant by bootloaderit (red, green, blue). When I try to update the ROM, it shows that it would be done, but the re-launch the bootloader all the time. Try a different ROM, which is designed for the HTC Qtek 8310 and the Tornado. WM6, WM61 and WM65. WM5 device worked before, more detailed version i dont know. letter on the screen IPL: 2.00 SPL: 2.00.0009
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
It seems that the loaded ROM does not succeed to load. If you load a shipped ROM everything outlined below should be done automatically for you, so if that does not work as well, then the device may be broken. So check first if you can load a shipped ROM again.

For cooked ROMs you need to prepare the BINFS to match the size of a ROM before you load it. As you succeed in loading any ROM, the device seems to be CID unlocked already. Check the following:

Connect the device in bootloader mode. Switch off, then keep camera button pressed and insert USB cable.

Disable USB for Active Sync (Connection settings of AS).

startup a terminal program that can connect via USB (e.g. TTerm pro)

connect ot the USB port

press enter

Command prompt appears

enter "info 2" (no quotes) enter

read the last line, it should give something like "HTC SuperCID". If not, then you must CID unlock the device first. Lookup the relevant threads for the cooked ROMs or search for Lokiwiz.

If the device is already SuperCID, then you must match the BINFS formatted size to be larger or equal the ROM size (OS partition). For most cooked ROMs it is the binary file size. Relevant actions are also described in some cooked ROM threads, e.g. mine - see my signature.

[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
IF your OS is not up, then the lokiwiz will not do anything to your device!

With THIS status you should not succeed in doing any update or format your BINFS. You first need to get the original OS up and running again before you van get any further on changing your OS. The steps to take are:

Get old OS running up again

Application unlock the old OS

CID unlock the device (backup your *.bin files!)

load new OS

1.) is your problem currently. There are several ways to achieve this, try a hard-reset first, this should work for your device:

switch off device

press L+R softkey and hold both

switch on device and keep L+R softkey pressed

wait until prompt and act accordingly

device will reboot to OS

OK now?
[HTC Tornado] Dexu:
I do not have the original OS or even the old OS. After a hard reset as well as the OS does not come up.

# Switch off the Device

# Softkey Press L + R and hold Both

# Switch the device and keep L + R softkey presses

Press 0 to restore factory default. Other key to exit

I press 0

After hard reset load the bootloader again.
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
OK, then you need to load the CID matching old OS via the shipped ROM standard procedure. Look to: http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Tornado/ and get 8310_2090_253121_020900_to_dan_eur_ship.exe

Execute it on the PC while the device is connected in bootloader mode. If that does not work, then try other ROMs in the same directory until you succeed with the loading.

Mind that a first boot takes 3-5 minutes, so be patient if the bootloader is not coming up any longer. Also do not interrupt the ROM loading in the first steps when the upload has started. It is normal that there are phases where the progress bar does not move. I think the sequence is per partition (IPL, SPL, Splash, OS): load to RAM (bar progressing), load from RAM to ROM = flashing (no bar progress, but color change of bar at the end). The large OS partition is loaded at the end of the sequence so the second step will take some time - be patient.

Good luck!
[HTC Tornado] Dexu:
I try all ROM's but always give me ERROR 294 INVALID VENDOR ID.

And now the phone does not start anymore. No picture. I dont know what happend
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
This seems to prove that the device has something broken.

Make sure that the battery gets charged while the device is off. Despite the device was connected to USB all the time there is no charging happening in bootloader mode. Wait until the green light is there again before you continue - power drain in bootloader mode is quite heavy.

When none of the shipped ROMs work for upload, it really gets hard to load back an OS running on that for further steps :-(

There is a procedure called "Gold Card method", the rough procedure is (only did that once years back - so this is no step-by-step guide):

Prepare the card so that the bootsector contains the magic device specific "Gold Card" signature. For that you need a trial version of PSAS, and a working windows mobile device(!).

then you would have to load the *.nbh file that gets uploaded to the device (and fails) to that mini-SD card root directory,

rename it to TORNIMG.NBH there

load the card to the device,

then reboot to bootloader (Camera + on)

and hope it gets it loaded

A detailed procedure is described for the Excalibur device but this works equally well for Tornado if you adjust the relevant parts (PSAS is the success of QMAT). Mind that the miniSD card should be in really good condition (fresh full format, check that the file loaded can be read byte-identical from it). If the loading from the card fails or corrupts the IPL/SPL while loading then your device is really bricked. It happened to me with an Excalibur (read the whole thread linked above) - so be extra careful (though - what do have to loose?)!
