[Desire HD General] MartiniGM:
They've started a project over at EVO 4G Development looking at the possibility of using the fields around the search "button" as a optical track pad. Since the Desire HD is almost simular to the EVO 4G it could be done or both of them or none.

It can't be done? Try grabbing hold of an icon an move it down below the screen to the black area and you can see that you still hold on to the icon! ;) It should be possible to read the area.

I would really like this function, but I'm not skilled enough to develop this. :o

Are you able to contribute? Check out the thread over at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=730693
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
Admittedly I've not looked through the whole thread - but the first few posts have raised a good point...

What's the point in turning it into a trackpad? It's got no more sensitivity compared to the rest of the touchscreen.

So therefore, using it to "select text" or "scroll in browsers" isn't of much use as you can do that on the touchscreen anyway.

However, if you can turn it into a regular D-Pad, thereby meaning that a press = a short movement, thereby acting like the arrow keys on the keyboard, then I can see there being some use to it.

....though after reading a bit further through it looks like people have realised this after all!

however, it's been 6 months and no real progress has been made...
[Desire HD General] MartiniGM:
Yeah, I guess it's actually a optical D-PAD, not a "touch pad" like a laptop, they're discussing. One of the things I really miss from my Desire is the possibility to move a character forwards or backwards to correct something when I type - and that would be a nice feature for the "search button" since I don't use it, only long press "search button".

If you could take a program like the Virtual Trackball from the market and read input from the search area instead of having a ball on the part of the screen you actually see.

And yes.. they haven't manged to accomplish much since the thread was started.. but I hoped that "Desire HD" people were more.. let me say skilled.. than EVO 4G users. If only one person with enough technical insight got interested in this, that would be enough. ;)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gigamaster89:
With the free version of TB, how do I restore my SMS/Call Log after flashing a new ROM (assuming it wipes)?

Can you backup the titanium backup? I'm assuming the app backs up your stuff to the SD card.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:

[G2 and Desire Z General] kreni:
Hi,

I have following problem:

Yesterday i tryed to follow the unroot and S-on guide but it was late and i flashed the g2 rom to my Desire z.

Now i cant recover back to my stock sense rom. Every time i try, i am stuck at the htc splash screen.

I've tried serveral other e.g CM7 rc0, some Stock Htc roms, and 2 other rom.

The only Rom that is working is the virtuos﻿ rom, it showes me in Settings->Phone identity->Model Number "tmobile-g2" i think thats the problem why i cant flash back to another rom.

Can someone help mi please fix this?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my english. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] wileykat:
You can use any of the custom ROMs, doesn't matter if it is a G2 or DZ. Have you used all of the wipe functions in the recovery before flashing a new ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z General] kreni:
Hi,

The problem was that i flashed the g2 stock rom...

I changed my clockwork recovery version from 3.0.0.0 to 2.5.1.1 and i was able to restore to my old backup.

But i have 3 more Problems now. I have no Settings and no on screen keyboard and can't root (every time i try sense restarts and then my phone crashes).

I am trying now to install a RUU to get everything back to stock.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jellenl:
Hi all,

I have a problem with my HTC Touch Pro 2 (RHOD100).

If I start my device up, it brings me to the bootloader. If I connect my device with my pc, it brings me to the bootloader, the same if I connect it with my main charger.

So I can only acces the bootloader, nothing else.

I already tried to flash the original htc rom, but after the progressbar was 100%, my device went to the bootloader. On my PC it showed the text "Update succesful, your device is ready for useage. " (or something like that).

But my device was still the same as before I tried to flash the original rom.

I also tried flashing a costum ROM (simplicity rom if I'm right). But the same thing happened.

Does anyone knows how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance, Jellenl
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lennyz1988:
You could try a task29 and then a custom rom. But this only works if your flashing of the stock rom did not wipe hardspl.

You could also try to flash a rom from your sd card. If you want to flash a stock rom, rename the .exe of the stock to .zip then extract the .nbh. Then flash from your sd. But try the step above first.
[Galaxy Tab General] Guitar4Him:
I have a Galaxy Tab (T-Mobile version). At least a couple of times a day, at random, the Tab goes into "slow motion". It's like there's some process that has gone crazy and is eating up all the CPU time. This happens randomly....I don't see any particular pattern. When it happens, about all I can do is to do a force shutdown by holding the power button in for about 10 seconds and then re-start.

Anybody else seeing this happen? Any ideas? Troubleshooting thoughts?

[Galaxy Tab General] synplex:
press and hold the power till the airplane mode /data conection menu pops up then just back out of that menu and that should fix it.

If not root it using z4root and install One click lag fix (OCLF) for tab and get a task killer from the market.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Tocharius:
Hi there!

Why does LG disable these features in the P500? Wouldn't it make more sense to squeeze as much performance as possible out of a device? Average users will buy this phone, install Angry Birds, and be shocked at how awful it performs. I haven't tried it yet, but I guess with those tweaks enabled, the more demanding apps run a lot better.

Do other manufacturers disable JIT and HW accelaration as well, and if yes, why?

I searched all over the forums and couldn't find a satisfactory answer.

Thanks!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcs127:
Hi everyone. I've been a long time lurker here, just recently registered and have my first question that I wasn't able to find through searching. I got my NS the weekend after launch. Coming from a G1. I love it so far.

My question. Has anyone else noticed a small bump on the back cover? Its on the little grill where the speaker (or fan) is; to the right of the camera lens. There are the two slits and the middle piece of plastic is raised just slightly to where I can feel that it is there.

I'm trying to figure out if it is a design or a defect. I couldn't find anything searching through the forums. If this is the wrong section, please feel free to move it.

I was trying to take a picture, but the plastic is so reflective that the phone wouldn't focus on the piece that I want. So I'll have to use an actual camera later. I took the back cover off, and it doesn't look like the plastic is bent (the inside of the cover is flat). So it might be by design. But it bothers me none the less.

Thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
I do believe it is design,

so when the phone lays on its back the speaker hole has some space to project sound
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcs127:
Ahhh...that actually makes sense.

Thanks for the response. I ordered a BSE skin for it a few days ago, so hopefully the little bump won't impede the cover too much.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
ya most covers have the whole space around the speaker removed, so the bump doesnt get in the way
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Exactly. The Galaxy S i9000 and T-Mo Vibrant have the same thing, only it's much less pronounced than on the SNS.

[Vibrant General] jstewart807:
First let me say that I am kinda new to the ROMs and this was my first one and have been nothing but happy. Eugene's clone is such a huge improvement. Couple things I'm wondering about....

1st. When taking pics there is the GPS icon that keeps trying to connect and log my location for the pic...how do i turn this off?

2nd. When ran the full bench mark on the phone the results put me one level ahead of the galaxy S. my device was a 1012 with the moto droid X, Evo, droid x 2.2+, and Nexus One 2.2+ being above mine.

Does that seem right or am i missing updating something? Regardless the phone operates perfectly and so much faster than before.

...is being able to tap on the icons in the status bar and go directly to those settings. I.E. taping the bluetooth icon took you to the bluetooth page to connect a device our change settings, tapping the signal bars took you top phone settings. Etc. is there a way to enable this on the Evo? I would really like this functionality back. I cry a little bit some times when I look at the status bar and there are no greasy finger prints on it.

[EVO 4G General] TheMatrixx:
I miss that too. But I think it wouldn't work well with modern devices that lack the accuracy of a stylus.

WinMo was/is an overall more "detailed" platform since it was designed to have pinpoint input accuracy. The concept of being able to put it in your pocket was an afterthought to the functionality - whereas iPhones and Andriods are designed primarily as a mobile device.

But yes, I do miss a few things from the old days. The Today screen could display so much more information, and I was sort of fond of tabbing GUI elements instead of scrolling lists.
[EVO 4G General] Ivanstein:
Yes, I agree. Win mo was indeed a business class platform. I used many of its features. I still reach for the stylus arty times. Heh. Overall, I think android had it beat, but I miss certain things.

Oh, and its not just menu, settings. Its menu, settings, wireless controls, bluetooth, and finally (maybe) your settings. On winmo, it was one tap to get there. Heh. Off to kill a kitten.

[Nexus One General] DownloaderZ:
Hi Guys,

I have a stock but rooted N1 on 2.2.1

I have a slight feeling that my power button is intermittently not responding.

Is there an instrumentation app or something y'all recommend to test hardware with?

I remember in cyanogen(on my g1) there was a spare parts app, which I think could do this.However, I am on a stock image.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks!

i dont know how you could test the button. but i use quickboot app so i never ever have to use the power button. and of course i use cyanogen ROM so i get trackball wake so i never need the power button.

[G2 and Desire Z General] jontornblom:
Hey people,

There's a lot of talk about permrooting the desire z etc. But i just want to throw this out there.

I like temproot via visionary. And i'll tell you why.

First, temproot is sufficient for titanium to back up your phone and restore it.

Second, temproot is enough to overclock your phone by running scripts in gscript. And even though you have to do it manually after reboot (ie lost root) it really takes less than 10 seconds after you have it all set up.

Third, if i've done something to create a problem (I mean temporary things like overclock, disabling packages etc.), i can just reboot and voila! Working phone again. However, i'm not sure this would make the phone "invincible" to tampering. Make sure you know what you're doing or don't do it!!!!

This is assuming you like your current ROM, like I do, and you're not too hung up on nandroid/bart backups. Personally, i prefer nandroid/bart from a good clockworkmod custom backup, but it's a tradeoff with having an almost perfectly safe rooting experience.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KiNG OMaR:
Yes but can you flash ROMs? Nope. It's a completely different experience once you start flashing. And you can always revert the perm root if you run into problems with the phone...
[G2 and Desire Z General] jontornblom:
It's a good point you make.

On my G1 I tried all the CM ROMS I could try, and super d, e, and f. I loved the tweaks available and sent most nights flashing or testing ROM and kernel combos.

But in the end I, personally was essentially looking for what this current sense ROM seems to be delivering so far. Just my personal taste right now. :)

It was just food for thought for all those who may feel squeamish about permroot on their new phone but want a little bit more freedom.

I'm sure in a few months i'll be modding the crap out of this thing anyway. Can't suppress the inner nerd forever lol.

[G2 and Desire Z General] jontornblom:
Maybe I'm overestimating myself haha. When I finally got into super d on my g1 I was like "this is good, this is fast, just be happy with this" but still I was swapping ROMs left and right like every night haha

Once I was working out of town and I tried a new overclocking kernel first thing in the morning, got my phone all goofed up including my SD card corrupted somehow, used a blackberry torch to format and to get the stock Android 1.0 nbh back on my SD card, and had the thing rooted and running a brand new ROM by the end of breakfast. Lol.

Soooooo maybe i'll last a couple more days haha
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheBiles:
I couldn't live without CyanogenMod. There is no reason to NOT permaroot.
[G2 and Desire Z General] joemm:
Gscript overclocking is inefficient, if you want a stable and consistant OC with UV kernels you'll have to root. ;) My 2cents.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jontornblom:
I am very familiar with cm6, but I want you to covert me lol.

What makes the script oc inefficient?
[G2 and Desire Z General] joemm:
You can't undervolt for screen off profiles or change voltage for smoother performance, you can only set 1 OC speed with gscript running at stock voltage. So when you set your cpu speed to let's say 1.4GHz with gscript it is always running at that speed when the power is on, thus using more power, even with the screen off.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jontornblom:
Hmm. I am not sure about controlling the voltages (important for battery life and cpu heat, right?), but both set cpu and system panel both show my cpu freq as changing from 245 MHz to 1017 MHz (or 1420 MHz if i want) according to demand with a good half dozen other speeds in between.

Edit: perhaps i should note that i was using the cpoc.sh, oc.sh (or ohshitttt.sh), and noreboot.sh scripts i found somewhere. They seem to work pretty well so far. I don't know too much about mflops, but i just did one and my d z was 37 @ 1017 MHz and 49 @ 1420 MHz.
