[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
The problem wherein the device doesnt charge when connected directly, and starts charging after plugged in while switched off, is not unique to you. I have faced the same issue. However I have been unable to solve it fully. Cynogenmod Rom when installed does not have this issue, and seems to be unique to Sense based Roms.

Have you installed HTC Sync?

If so, try uninstalling all three HTC Software from Windows-HTC Sync, the Driver Setup, and BMP Driver.

Disconnect the phone.

Now reboot the PC.

Reinstall HTC software fully.

Reboot PC again.

Now start up HTC Sync, and now connect the Usb cable.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliasif2010:
Thanks for your response, Actually I am unable to connect my device to pc, then how can i install any other ROM??

The procedure I have read from the websites require the PC to be connected with the device.

Also I didnt installed three things in my PC to sync, I just installed the HTC sync I downloaded it from the HTC website, Please tell where can I find the other two things.

Also there is an update, I have replaced the cable, Now when I connect the device to the PC, windows 7 shows un known device. But nothing is shown in the Mobile, no notification, & no list to select either "charge only" or "Disc Drive" etc

Thanks for your help

Hmm this sounds allmost exactly as USB-brick (i had one). Did you buy completely new phone or used one. You say its unrooted? Have you messed with your phone (flashing custom roms etc)?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliasif2010:
No the phone is used one, but used only 2 or 3 days with no any scratch or any mark on it. I would have to replace the USB port of the device??
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jentzschman2000:
I have searched a little, but also wanted to ask a few questions:

What ROM do you like best and why?

For some reason I am leaning toward the Evil port of Desire Z. It look nice, from what I can tell and have seen.

It seem from my readings, that there are pretty much always small issues with each ROM that is released. And yes, it also seems that those issues are being addressed.

But each time you must wipe and then flash. By that you mean the HDD on the phone, not the SD card right?

I can see it being a pain to install all your apps, etc over and over again.

I also have a question on rooting, but I want to post a outside link, but need to post a few more b4 it will let me, so that will come shortly.

Thanks for the help.

I seriously need this for the NS. 240 looks too big coming from N1's 180. build.prop doesn't help. Any takers?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] PlankLongBeard:
LCD Density Changer The App? :-)

I am using the free one From thE Market and it works amazing. I have it set to 180 and there is much of a change. Widgets look really small tho! Give it a shot!

Yeah, it's on the market, and here on XDA ;)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] LordPhong:
Thanks for the replies, guys. I'm too cheap to pay for something so simple. So, I whipped out the old adb pull, notepad++, and push method.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] LordPhong:
I'm using Launcher Pro. So, the widgets are resizeable.

180 is way to small, and also doesn't function right... I would press on something and a blue bar would pop up where I was touching.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] CaliLove310:
What value are you using?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Smartenup:
280 works well for me
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ikon8:
280? You mean 180? Your sig says Desire Z. 280 would be giant on the NS, I'm using 215 and it looks nice. I noticed that anything other than stock 240 results in some banding issues on some window headers, such as the gray banner on the notification pulldown.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ikon8:
LOL, I tried out 280 to see what it looks like and the homescreen icons are so big they're rubbing up against each other.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] LordPhong:
I totally agree with the banding but I can't stand large text and the amount of icons you can fit in the 240. I have 5 home screens (5 icons x 8 icons each).
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Smartenup:
No, I actually mean 280, works for me just fine on the Des Z. :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] myunitisz:
i jsut rooted my phone using the step by step clockwork recovery method and im not able to change my lcd density if i put it at 210 it just says saving and nothing happens to the screen

someone know how to fix that?
[Streak 5 General] Ravindra9:
Hi, I bought my streak yesterday. It came pre-loaded with Android 1.6, which immediately upon switching on the device, got updated to Android 2.2.

My concern is that I am NOT ABLE TO SYNCHRONIZE my MICROSOFT OUTLOOK 2010 data like CONTACTS, TASKS, CALENDAR and MAILs to my STREAK.

Its my first android device. And for last 5 years I have been using (handheld devices/PDA's) with WINDOWS MOBILE OS with latest being HD2, and all these years, I have been very very comfortably using Activesync, to synchronize all this.

I must also mention that I have tried to do a lot of search on XDA and google, with suggestions like using third party applications, but none of them are practically working.

I am a business user and my work necessitates me to have all this outlook data (including mails) to be with me (on my handheld device) always. In fact I was delighted to read claims on XDA "There is NOTHING that an android device can not do which a winmo device can do...". But then ,this is what is the LEAST that I want to my STREAK to perform... or else I might have to return this and buy HD7!!!

Any suggestions???
[Streak 5 General] 00roberto00:
VCOrganizer does it all, it sync also outlook notes and is compatible with office 2010 .
[Streak 5 General] Ravindra9:
Thanks 00roberto00, Let me try thsiright away and shall get back to you with feedback
[Streak 5 General] bennysangel:
Use the Touchdown app that came on the device. I had no problems synching information needed with outlook.
[Streak 5 General] Philip:
While that is the theory, I have had problems with VCOrganizer duplicating my Contacts and corrupting my Outlook data. I don't believe that I am alone in this - look at the comments for this application in the App Market.

The best resource for understanding what applications are available to synchronise between Outlook and Android phones is http://syncdroid.net/ which has a very good chart comparing the features of each.
[Streak 5 General] 00roberto00:
mhh. i had no probs.
[Streak 5 General] Ravindra9:
Could not get VCorganizer to try and am not ready pay unless I am sure it will really work.

I did try CompanionLink-Dejaoffice and it is disappointing. While CompanionLink is PC based application it needs Dejaoffice simultaneously, which is the device based application. And, well... it does SYNC (only contacts/calendars/tasks and not mails!!! the great disappointment is in teh fact that the contacts which are actually synced are not part of the default contact manager, and hence one can not USE it practically thorugh the dialpad for making calls, and even that incoming calls (of any saved contact) does not get recognized!!!

I am ready to pay any good amount provided I get something as useful as Activesync of Windows mobiles!!!
[Streak 5 General] Ravindra9:
Thanks Bennysangel.

Touchdown is an exchange server client. I mean I am not sure if it will really do the needful as Activesync (desktop Activesync- for Winodws mobiles). i did google to read more about it, but as I read, it is not going to the job... that is SYNCING CONTACTS (in the default contacts managers of froyo), SYNCING MAILS and TASKS/CALENDARS!!!

Bennysangel, can you please guide me on this Touchdown with your experience on it. Thanks again.
[Streak 5 General] 00roberto00:
anyway u cant sync emails even with VCOrganizer. for email sync u need some exchange client/server.

the first time u sync contacs with VCO it duplicates (its also stated on them FAQs) but after 2nd sync everything goes ok.

before VCO I tried anything else but this was the only app syncing also outlook notes and working with the 64bit office 2010
[Streak 5 General] Philip:
I think that we are both looking for something that doesn't exist. It is not in Google's interest to make it easy for users to sync an Android phone with a Microsoft product. Google's model is based on people storing their data on their servers (where they can commercially exploit that data), and not locally on their PCs in a format which is proprietary to one of their main competitors (Microsoft).

Don't forget that ActiveSync was a Microsoft product which synchronised between two other Microsoft products (Outlook and WinMo). Perhaps you should consider a WinMo7 phone (and if there was one with a screen as big as the Streak, that's what I would probably buy)?

My personal experience is that many of the solutions which sound as if they will do the job do not live up to their advertising. I have tried a number of them now, and have had all sorts of problems (duplicated entries, corrupt data, removal of Category/Priority/Note information, incorrect date/time, etc).

As I have mentioned before, there is an extremely comprehensive list of the synchronisation solutions which are available at the Syncdroid web site. and if you do find any which are not listed there, please let the web master know, as he will add them.
[Streak 5 General] Ravindra9:
Thanks Philip, you are very precisely hitting the nail in the head!!!

The only reason I got attracted to buy this STREAK is due to its huge screen size- which genuinely gives the pleasure of a mobile phone cum tablet!!! I agree with you that I should prefer to buy a Windows Phone device however there is unfortunately NO other device with 5 inch screen, the nearest being HTC HD7. I am seriously considering giving up this Streak and buy HD7 now.

And for that matter, it would be a welcome if there could be some chef who could cook a WINDOWS MOBILE ROM (be it 6.5.x also if not windows phoen 7 OS ROM!!!) that I can flash on STREAK
[Streak 5 General] Insane Devil:
Hi,

The Dell PC Suite syncs contacts, calendar, tasks & notes with Outlook. have you tried that?

http://support.dell.com/support/top...71813763D71D397E040AC0A65E96FA0&isLegacy=true
[Streak 5 General] Philip:
Doesn't work with 2.2, only with 2.1 sadly.

See this page on syncdroid.net.
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Yes mate thats correct tried it a couple of weeks ago .

But when a was reading this thread i thought i would just have a look at dells page to see if its been updated,

Anyway downloaded the latest version installed it coupled up my baby and all was fine synced music, pics, outlook contacts and the rest, so it seems to be OK now .

Give it a try:)
[Streak 5 General] Philip:
Now I'm confused.

Are you referring to the Nero software that Dell are using with FroYo, rather than the discontinued Dell PC Suite? If so, I understood that it only syncs Contacts from Microsoft Outlook (not least because Dell have removed the Task and Notes applications from 2.2 that they had provided with 2.1).

When you say "all the rest", do you mean that it syncs Calendar, Tasks and Notes from Outlook? If so, what applications does it use on the phone to access Tasks and Notes?
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
You are right on that score philip just contacts, sorry for the confusion:)

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdjpurekarmax:
Soooo.....Its a rainy day in good ol' Orlando, FL and as me being the genius that I am, start to get out of my car, I forget my phone is on my lap. So I grab my laptop bag, and start to exit my car and I watch in slow motion as my beloved MT4G slowly fall torwards the ground. I don't know if the gods interviened but it fell at such an angle that it hit the ground screen first completly flat. So to my delight I pick my phone up and see 1.) its cracked to smithereens and 2.) I can't even see picture on it. So now im stuck with a phone that keeps going off notifying me of things I cant check.

So after that whole pointless story my question to you all, Is there away to get away with this with a warranty exchange? If so is there anyone thats actually gotten away with it? Also if I call T-Mobile tommorrow if theres no shure fire way to get away with it, would they make me send this one back if I pay the deductible? (Premium Handset Insurance FTW) Thanks in advanced everyone.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawaiian.monzta:
HI

Doubt it. I got to do warranty exchange with mine even tho I had a nick on it because the phone had some faults that I told them were a problem for me. So they can only do warranty exchange if the phone had a fault of some sort, usually. And yes they probably would. You would have to file a claim with asurion. The deductible is 130, but when you file a claim, if its approved you have to shell out another 50. Im pretty sure thatz how it iz. I read that on their policy section
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s2vash:
Well I just flashed over to CM 6.2 Extreamly Blue and I noticed a few things....

My reception seems to constantly go from Full, to none, then Back to full, all the while switching between 3g and 1x. But only in my house. My mom has a non rooted htc hero with the same PRL and her service follows the same pattern but it doesnt drain her battery like it does mine.

Any suggestions of what to do? :confused:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Try going to the latest rooted 2.1 sense rom and updating your prl and profile a few times. Also you can try flashing a diff radio I use a Verizon radio because it gives me better service where I live. And lastly, the service bars on aosp/cm6 roms NEVER show correct signal anyways.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s2vash:
How do I flash a different radio? I know for a FACT that Verizon provides better service where I live. Also, once I do this, is it reversible once I do this?

Second..... Can I flash from 6.2 down to 6.1 WITHOUT wiping? Or would it best to go to my backed up 2.1 update my prl then do a fresh flash to 6.1.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
For a fact verizon has better signal in my area as well. Lets start by saying people flash radios because they can provide different signal and or battery boost. You have to try diff radios to see how results go I have about 5 radios on my sdcard and i gave them about a day of use to test each. One way to check is to go to cm settings and select user interface, then status bar and from there check show dbm(signal strength) and hide the signal bars. Coverage is so bad in my home but the desire radio jumps my home signal from -110dbm to about -76dbm which is really good compared to 110. Anything over -90dbm isnt really good coverage. You can flash these radios from any rom just need to be rooted. BE really careful though i have a cdma hero which means cmda radios only. If you flash a radio from a gsm phone/hero you WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE. You can do this from a sense rom if you want but im just on cm6.1 stable. And to answer your last question, it is very reversible; you can flash radio after radio like I have done but once again just be careful not to flash any gsm radios. Hope this helps man.

Heres the radio i use, i recommend for best results give each radio about a day

http://geekfor.me/hero/radios/baseband-232401109/

This is how to flash a radio

http://geekfor.me/faq/flash-radio/

That site has a handful of cdma radios that would work on your cdma hero just browse around. Theres also a new radio thats hanging around one of these threads (.29 radio) but it doesnt help much cause coverage sucks like the (.27) stock radio. To check which radio you are on just go to settings then about phone, then it says it under BASEBAND version.

The list of known radios/basebands:

1.04.01.09.21 (old 1.5)

2.32.40.11.09 (eris/desire)

2.41.04.02.02

2.42.00.03.10

2.42.01.04.27 (2.1 ruu radio)

2.42.02.10.29 (newest sprint radio)

Flashing a Verizon radio wont effect your PRL?

Thanks

Not trying to Highjack, just getting more info into the thread :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Nah your cool man, umm typically flashing a radio plays along with your PRL, some people say certain radios dont play nice with their PRL, but it has never happen to me(if it does just go to a 2.1 sense rom and try to update it with your profile and should be fine). Your PRL will remain the same; though ive been on many PRL'S and diff radios and never had any issues what so ever. As long as you are up to date with the latest PRL then your phone wont go crazy and be stuck in roaming mode lol. Some people create their own PRL's and put them in and etc. But your PRL isnt changed, just radio man if thats what your asking im kind of half asleep.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cordell12:
Thats what I was wondering, thanks. I did a search and have a verizon tower like 1/2 mile from my house, sprint only has them antennas around my neck of the woods. So I am gonna try this radio and see what happens :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Dude try it man I love the Verizon radio its freaking sick...for me at least. My coverage was so bad they gave me a free sprint airrave(mini cell tower box). But I get a 40% signal increase with the radio I posted for the other dude.

Bad coverage/signal = bad battery life
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
Does anyone know were I can get the other Verizon radios that can be used on the hero I've tried the one above but no noticeable aprovements I'm on the stock sprint radio and it seams to be working the best but no were close to perfect because I live in the stix as well and I just wanted to test the other VW radios just to be sure lol
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:

I'm debating if I should flash a verizon radio. I don't want to be stuck in roaming. I just need better reception :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newklearx3:
So I can just flash the verizon radio in recovery Even though I'm not on a sense rom?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
The best way and easiest is to just use rom manager download the radio then go to rom manager and install zip from SD card find the radio click on it do not wipe or anything then rom manager will boot into recovery and install then it'll turn of and on and you'll see the android Guy with a black screen then it'll reboot again and you'll see a a box with an arrow then your phone will reboot again normally and it should be installed but make sure your using clockworkmod with rom manager
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newklearx3:
Hmmm. I rather just download the radio boot into recovery and flash it myself. Seems simple enough.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
Yes that work's just install it like any other rom but do not wipe anything

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Without the Verizon radio my dbm is about 110 with I get 85 in the house. I'm still not home but ill post the other Verizon radio for talk but I don't know how late that's gonna be. I thought it was on the site
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
No u flash a radio the same way u would any rom through recovery just do not wipe or anything and u need to make sure the radio is for your phone this one will work on all cdma heros
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
You can be on any rom you want just don't flash GSM radio from the other hero or you WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE. I am not responsible for anyone who doesn't read and follow directions you have been warned. Lol
