[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perangbintang:
too bad google still doesn't offer navigation in kuwait where i live now so can't test google navigation and whether it will reboot my device or not. but i did test with maps (no navigation) and other apps that use gps with the same problem. gps will turned on for around 15-30 seconds, and turned off by itself, but no reboot.

i can understand about keeping the thread clean from all the repetitive questions and all, but i didn't expect them to also cleaned all the bugs/problem reports that haven't been posted before. so now i have no idea of what post that they deem acceptable there :confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdavey:
Bugs and Problem reports can be found in the issue tracker, if it is an issue that is not there (and has not been confirmed as an issue elsewhere in the Developers Thread) AND you are able to re-create the issue after a full wipe and are also able to advise the steps you go through to create the issue, log it on the issue tracker.

The issue tracker is not a forum though and is moderated in much the same manor as the developers thread.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perangbintang:
thanks for the info...

since there's no issue similar to my problem in the issue tracker, and before i put the issue that i have there, i need help from anyone to see if this problem is also happening to their device.

in my device it's very easy to reproduce the problem.

turn gps on (from the settings>location&security>use gps satellite, or from the status bar power widget if you already put gps on the widget list).

run some apps that use gps (like maps), and wait til gps lock the satellite (the grey gps target icon on the notification bar will stop blinking and stay on). wait around 30 second to 1 minute and see if that icon will stay on the notification bar.

in my case, after the satellite lock, the gps icon on the notification bar (the grey target icon) will instantly disappear (or around 15 sec later), but the gps icon in status bar power widget and the check box in the settings>location&security>use gps satellite still showing gps on). although they still showing gps on, i know the gps is actually off because the app that use gps will lose the gps connection).

but this instant gps shut off thing only happen once every time i turn gps on after not using it for a long period of time (4-6 hours or more). so if i turn the gps back on after this instant shut off thing, it will stay on longer or til i finished using the gps.

can anyone be so kindly to try this on their device and report back please?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potter1984:
Confirmed happens to me as well :(

Loses GPS altogether after around 5-10 seconds lock on..

Does anyone know if there is an option of using Tags on the default email client?

because my work exchange server uses tags but does not seem to display them using the email client.

Loving Oxygen 2.0.1 haven't had a single boot loop since updating from the RC. Only issue I am having is very poor battery life while wifi is enabled. I have it set to never sleep like I have on previous roms which is suggested as a fix (including the RC, where battery life was average 2 days with wifi on) and am running .37.3_r1 thalamus kernel and I am lucky to get a day out of it even when idling all day doing nothing. I have noticed that others have had similar issues like this and was wondering if anyone had a fix for this?

For what it's worth

Oxygen 2.0.1

Thalamus kernel-2.6.37.3_r1

s-off and oxygen hboot

latest radio 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 and the recommended 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 give exactly the same results.

Anyone know how to get rid of the extra SMS notification? I had this problem a long time ago where, in the notification bar, it would pop up that I had a SMS as well as unread messages. Once I had read the message the one notification would disappear but the "unread messages" would stay unless I hit clear.

This ended up going away..not sure what I did, but, as of yesterday, it has returned. It's pretty annoying.

Thanks!

Are you using a separate SMS client? If so, disable the notifications in the default application.

No, this is just from the standard SMS.

The ones for unread emails go away once the email has been read. Only seems to be because of the SMS.

Overheat reboots

Is anyone else experiencing issues with the phone rebooting when it gets hot.

This only seem happens when the charger is plugged in and then I use something CPU intensive like angry birds or google maps with gps. The phone gets pretty hot and then will randomly reboot. After a reboot if I then go into maps again it may take only 5 seconds for it to reboot again.

Day to day usage when the charger is not plugged in I can not remember this ever happening. Is this an issue with gingerbread itself or just a hardware issue that is unfixable? Can a change of kernel fix this? Have tried a vorkkernel but still the same problem. I dont remember ever having these issues on froyo, so not really sure whats happened here.

Using stock oxygen full wipe etc......

Any suggestions greatly appreciated

Some Desires get very hot, causing a reboot. I've read some users say this is a hardware problem and HTC fixes the problem by swapping the motherboard. Problem is you have to flash back to stock and send it off.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris5304:
From what I can find on the various forums there is a hardware issue with some Desire's and these need to be repaired/replaced by HTC. You need to flash back to stock and unroot first. If this is you then the phone will reboot quite often and regardless of what software you have on it.

However, there are also lots of examples of reboots with all the Gingerbread ROMs, usually when the processor is stressed and GPS and 3g are on as well. I had this problem with all the GB ROMs and have gone back to FroYo ROMs which are fine. Whether this issue affects you depends on what you do with the phone, I use navigation and audio players in the car a lot and this combination gets me reboots pretty often. Probably some Desire's hardware is better than others as well so everyone's experience will be different.

I assume that the GB ROMs have drivers which push the chips harder to get better performance in certain areas but this is just a guess.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desireboss:
Thanks for the information, this is what I am hoping, that it is Gingerbread related and that I dont need a replacement. I used Froyo for many months and never experienced overheat/reboot problems so I will try flashing back to Froyo and see if the issue disappears.

App drawer schrolling.

Firstly i would like to say that oxygen gingerbread is my favourite rom by far on my desire and many thanks to all those involved however, my ONLY gripe which i have had in all releases is the laggy schrolling in the app drawer and the schrolling between the home screens.

Is this something that everybody is experiencing?

Is there anything i can modify to improve this?

The schrolling through the settings menus on my device is like lightening!

p.s. I would prefare to stick with the stock launcher if possible. :confused:

Hi all

Currently rooted desire s-off using Oxygen 2.0.1 and the alpharev hboot, with many thanks to everyone on this forum

Is there now further advantage in flashing the rokeemod.zip performance upgrade and the dalvik-cache2SD.zip from the oxygenrom site?

Also, logic tells me that I should be able to download zips to the root folder of my sd card using my handset and flash them directly in recovery i.e. not using a pc at all?

Are there any problems doing that - all I can think is that I would not be able to check the md5sum...

I have a question about apps: Well a couple actually!

1. Does anyone know if I can delete the stock email, talk and music apps without affecting other applications I use for these functions (gmail & poweramp - I don't do chat :cool:)

2. I'm using free efile explorer which I have 2 issues with -

It force closes after I press the home key when I've finished using it.

I'm not actually sure it's doing anything when I use it as I moved some images from one folder to another, and the old folder and it's images still show up in the gallery app.

Anyone had a similar thing with this app? Should I stop being a skinflint and buy root explorer...?!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Thanks - done it.

More generally, I've been reading about kernels and setCPU - I'm keen to keep the number of apps to a minimum (having reached about 80 before I rooted and switched rom, most of which were never used but I somehow couldn't delete :-)) so I'm not motivated to download it.

I have 2.6.37.2-thalamus-S-gfbbb1325thalamus@ozone#1 - I'm wondering if this kernel manages my CPU cycles? Does it have a governor, is it interactive?

Where do I look to see this happening? If I google this kernel all I get is links to tons of forum signatures!

I have started learning to use adb via cmd so I'm not averse to dabbling about and keen to learn.

Problems with pairing my desire with my Garmin 265WT GPS

Hi guys/girls... first time posting so please forgive me if this has already been answered and direct me to the correct post... otherwise here goes...

I just installed the latest Oxygen ROM and overall and very impressed, however I seem to be having an issue trying to pair with my GPS. In fact I tried a couple of other Gingerbread ROM's and had similar issues. What happens is the GPS and phone see each other and the GPS will send the request to the phone for the code "1234", but when I enter that code, it just loops back asking for it again as if I had entered the incorrect code.

Nothing I try seems to work so any ideas would be appreciated as here in Ontario, Canada it is now illegal to use a handset while driving.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juicebox666:
I'm currently using 2.6.37.4r1 and the battery life is excellent for me. The last few thalamus kernel builds have been amazing and get better with each release. I'm not sure how he's managing power but I get a solid 16+ hours out of my Desire each day with heavy usage.

I know thalamus isn't a big fan of setCPU or modified power scripts and with a solid full day of battery I'd say they're necessary.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdadhemar:
I would say that you have 2 options here :

You trust Adam and Thalamus for their amazing work around Oxygen and its kernel. They do the best choice of kernel settings for stability and overall performances including battery life and CPU performance. In 99% of the cases you want to stay with Oxygen default kernel and low level settings and you do not want to try the latest exotic kernel arround here and there.

You want to learn more about the Linux Kernel and geek around or you have a very particular issue that a certain custom kernel fixes. Then you will have to document yourself, get into the amazing Linux World and have fun ... but do not complain or ask for too much help. This will have to be your own adventure :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuzzyDee:
This link was posted over at the Oxygen forums as a solution for the dreaded bootloop, cause I don't have a high enough post count, I cant post the link. I went back several pages and couldn't see it here, but long story short the fix is to chmod a file called time_in_state to 700.

I've applied the fix, so will see how I go, but was wondering if any of the knowledgable folks here at xda could tell me what I'm breaking by doing this. Obviously there is a system process reading this time in state file if it's causing the reboot, and if i'm chmodding the ability to write these stats away, I can't help but wonder what it's supposed to be doing with the data it can no longer write?
