how to delete this file?
[HD2 General] ajocius:
not that I have used phone browsing a lot, but I could give it a try to clear those hidden caches. Any idea how?
[HD2 General] ajocius:
I think the key questions are:

1. How to find out what files are using that Storage Memory. If I see that, I might figure out what I can delete.

2. How to reallocate memory from Program Memory to Storage Memory
[HD2 General] TwinCZ:
Of course, you´re right, but:

1) too much work with unclear results

2) I didn´t find this answer (I think there is no way to reallocate memory outside ROM cooking)

So for me is simpler test ROMs and find the best, and the 3 ROMs above look usably... ;)
[HD2 General] ajocius:
I can't believe that cook like Energy, whos ROM's are used by most users would leave only memory for 2 new apps to be installed after fresh ROM... There is something either wrong in my understanding, or just needs some simple entry in registry or similar.

Common people :)
[HD2 General] TwinCZ:
Not for 2 new apps, after flashing you have 130MB free, but after 5-7 apps and some ringtones I had 20MB. I have X1 with more 15 apps and same ringtones and I have 70MB free, thats enough, and same I want from my HD2. And I don´t understand, why Energy has after flash 200MB total and 66MB used, and Chucky´s ROM has 250-310MB total and 18-28 used. And same ore more apps and utils inside...
[HD2 General] ajocius:
Have removed all apps via "manage applications" still low storage memory.... I will need new ROM as it looks... I have Energy ROM on my Pro2 device, and there I have 178 MB free storage memory. Go figure...
[HD2 General] TwinCZ:
Energy ROMs I used all time on my Xperia X1 and there were wery good with enough free storage for me, so with these good experience first ROM which I install to my new HD2 was Energy too, but after I found the problem with low storage... So maybe the problem with storage is only for HD2, if you have on TP2 180MB free, this looks enough. ;-)

Now I have in HD2 ChuckyDexterDarkOne and I have 283MB Total, 172 Used (after install every apps and files which I want in Internal storage - after HR was used about 20MB only with a lot of apps and tools inside the ROM) and 111 free... ;-) NICE ;-)

About 2 weeks ago, my camera simply stopped working. Any app that uses the camera simply opens to a black screen and then becomes unresponsive.

I've tried a full factory reset to no avail. Before sending the camera for repair, is there anything else I can try. I did check the forum and elsewhere to see if this was a known issue with the DHD or an individual firmware vesion, but nothing obvious.

I'm running 1.72.405.3

Thanks for any pointers

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Hi Daz,

It does sound like your camera's sensor has failed. I had a similar issue with my HTC Hero when I got that many moons ago. This would be covered by the manufacturers warranty so you'd be entitled to a replacement or repair.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Did the camera only fail once the update had been applied? As i think and i'm not 100% but i think that the cam is one of the things which the update is for, maybe you could try a custom rom to see if the update has caused it, I can't see why but it could be.

My Hero's camera would not work with anything over 1.5, any custom rom or even the stock 2.1 update would cause my phone to reboot after every second usage of the phones camera, it was very annoying and because it was a persistent problem which was no fault of my own, i didn't pay for the replacement, so maybe look into it, it may save you a few bob getting it fixed, unless your getting it for free.

Just a thought.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mancdaz:
To be honest it could well have been after an update, I just can't tie the two events together in my head.

The phone will be fixed for free as it's still under warrantee, I was just wondering if there was anything I could do to avoid having to send it away for what could be weeks. I do suspect it's a hardware issue so prob best just to let HTC deal with it and send me back a working phone.

Thanks all.

Daz
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travist85:
I also have this problem, any updates on the issue? I really don't want to be without my phone for weeks! The camera only stopped working after I flashed from Leedroid 1.2 to cyanogenmod 6.1.3 then flashed back to Leedroid
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mancdaz:
Hi,

I'm afraid I don't know just yet. I sent the phone away for repair and it's still being worked on. I'll let you know what they said when I get it back.

Not try to add push account from settings - account.

1) go to email app

2) if you already have account remove it (menu - account - remove)

3) select MS exchange account

4) insert full email address (example@hotmail.com) and password

5) in domain insert full email addres with "\" before (\example@hotmail.com)

6) in server insert "m.hotmail.com"

7) enable secure connection

If not work, flash with void rom, then flash with this and follow from the step1
[HD2 General] ajocius:
I want to be in control on when phone tries to connect to network via other ways then WiFi. Do not want to get surprise bills, if the phone tries to connect to internet while I am abroad, for example. So I insterted empty prepaid SIM card (has zero balance, so you can't call from it) and just keep it for some time like this.

Data Connection is off

MS Direct push is off

However, phone still tries to reach internet for some reason. I get this "very imformative" message that you can see in attached picture, that informes me about failed attempt to dial out, but it does not tell which app tries to do that.

Very annoying. Any idea how can i figure out which app is calling out?
[HD2 General] fred_up:
It is possible that it may be ActiveSync. I do get it connecting to the internet although all e-mail settings are set for manual syncing. I really should look into how to stop it.

A very nice app called NoData stops any program accessing the internet (except via WiFi).
[HD2 General] ajocius:
I can't even see where those ActiveSync settings are, where should I look for those? Will try to find NoData app.
[HD2 General] ajocius:
did you mean this one?

[HD2 General] fred_up:
This one - NoData
[HD2 General] ajocius:
thanks, will try this one
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
It is most likely because you have something on in Sense that is wanting to see the internet. Things like the weather, and email accout, etc.. will try to update itself from time to time. Make sure you have all automatic updates turn off.
[HD2 General] ajocius:
weather and email are set to update only when manually requested, so that should not be a problem. Installed NoData from above post, so far so good, will keep an eye for couple of days.
[HD2 General] ajocius:
unhappy to report that still some app uses internet via mobile network without my knowledge. How annoying :( Nodata certainly removed the message that was popping up, but does not seem like it resolved my problem. Why this has to be so difficult ? :(
[HD2 General] p107r0:
not sure if it will work, but -

try WMLongLife, which (AFAIR) should pop-out a question whether you want to enable 3G - each time when new app is trying to make network connection - this way you could find out which it is

On my chinese Android 2.1 tablet I somehow managed to make .flv (flash) files show in the gallery. I don't really know how I did it but first they weren't there - then they were.

On my DHD .flv files aren't shown in gallery either.

Does anyone have an idea how to make them appear?
[Desire General] chili1496:
help please there is probably an easy answer to this but i can't see it.

in my contacts lets say Mr A has mobile number 111111 and home number 222222

now if i ring him on mobile and get no answer what i have to do is go into view contact and choose an alternative number to call him on ie 222222.

now am pretty sure when i first got my desire if i choose to call Mr A i got an option box pop up asking my which number i'd like to dial.

does this sound familiar to anyone and if so how do i enable it?

also next problem again contact related

using Mr A above once his numbers are entered into his card the oprions to send messages are filled in for me i want to remove the field where it says sent message to home number in this case a land line number

any help appreciated

thanks
[Desire General] erklat:
I can't really remember getting any of the pop-ups you mention. You have the option to set the primary number in the person card in People. Though it could be sometimes inconvenient, I don't think there is another way.

I find pretty inconvenient when I have unanswered call and want to reply, if that person has multiple numbers, you can't call number other than that you received the call from without entering the person card. It would be convenient if you could swype to change the number, you have arrows shown in the call list anyway.
[Desire General] chili1496:
hello all had my desire for a good few months now, totally clean unbranded device. Now after quietly perusing these forums for a while i feel the next best thing i could do is flash it with a custom rom, i am drawn towards leedroid 2.3c, however i would like some advice first :) from the experts....All You.

is leeddroid a good stable rom with all the feature that i currently have on a stock desire?

what is the simplest way to flash?

do i have to do anything prior to a flash? ie backup anything, or make a backup of my stock system? if so how? i have xp in iphones and nothing needed to be done there just plug in and flash?

i need a simple guide

many thanks
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Before you do anything, go to Settings>About phone>Software information and make a note of the 'Software version' number and post it up on here. We'll go from there...
[Desire General] chili1496:
android version 2.2

baseband version 32.49.00.32u_5.11.05.27

software number 2.29.405.5
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Right, awesome. You're totally unbranded so that's a good thing!! :D

First thing, download the RUU for that ROM so you can go back to stock should you need to. Get it from:

http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe

If that link fails to download then get it from:

http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&so...Y-6AY_5A3EXnBSZIg&sig2=ToMSUjUY0tdbmxGYNI13-w

Or

http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&so...cZlrId8Dkc9IAPJsg&sig2=upnnZhtKGWqyen3hhAeVvA

After that you can look at rooting the phone. I just re-rooted my phone on 2.29.405.5 using unrEVOked 3.31 and it work fine. You can get it here:

http://unrevoked.com/recovery/

Once rooted, go look at the different ROMs available and take you're pick!! :D
[Desire General] aaa:
There you go about rooting the phone from EddyOS.

Leedroid is a newbie friendly rom, it is stable, fast (faster than the original), has relatively better battery life than the original and everything is working, not to mention, it is also a Sense rom, just like your original rom.

So, yes! Leedroid is a good pick to start.

Note:

---- IMPORTANT----

1. The first thing you might want to do directly right after rooting is to create a nanddroid bckup and copy the bckup into your pc directly after creating it.. Do it before flashing, formatting, creating partition, or anything else.

---------END----------------

2. You might also need a card reader and a software such as partition wizard, gparted, or similar to create an EXT partition in your SD Card since most of the custom roms will need it. Create the EXT partition before flashing.
[Desire General] chili1496:
brilliant thanks for the links and tips, is there any particulat software i need to perform this "create a nanddroid bckup"
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Once rooted the custom recovery has the nandroid function in it

Have a read of this, should help explain things:

[Desire General] chili1496:
Hey eddyos many thanks for taking the time to answer.

now i take it i do not need to make a gold card as my phone is unbranded, so my steps to take are :-

a. root...using unrevoked

b. nandroid backup...using clockworkmod recovery supplied with unrevoked

c. flash whatever rom i choose.

now once i have done step b. do i store this backup on my pc? if so whats it gonna be called and where will it be on the desire

in order to flash a rom, where do i put the rom i download to flash to the htc? on the memoery card?

once i have done c i am no longer able to get stock updates.

once i have done c do i need to set up anything so my phone can make calls or access the internet etc, or does it behave like a new phone out the box and you whack in the info it asks for ie google account stuff.

once again many thanks
[Desire General] EddyOS:
The Nandroid is stored on your SD card. You can make a backup of this on your PC should you wish.

Once rooted you can no longer get OTA updates so you'd need to update your ROM as (and if) the dev does so

You download the ROM file and stick it anywhere on the SD card as you can browse for the ZIP in recovery.

The phone should go through a setup and automatically set the APN but if not you can manually add it using the operator details on their website
[Desire General] chili1496:
cool many thanks m8 for your time, now its just down to me to select a rom.

m last bit of info i need for now is looking in the android development bit there are various roms etc, some say rom, froyo sense, aosp kernal etc. been a novice/virgin i have no idea what these titles mean, i assume i should just stick to anything that has rom next to it?

is anyone able to reccomend a beginers rom :) that i can try out

? whats this all about?

create an EXT partition in your SD Card since most of the custom roms will need it. Create the EXT partition before flashing.

how big should the partition be? 512mb
[Desire General] aaa:
As it has been said before Leedroid is a very good start. The latest version should be the Leedroid 2.3c.

Try that one out and play a little while before trying to flash other ROMs.

EXT partition is needed for A2SD/A2SD+ ROMs (do not play around with D2EXT/D2SD at the moment, you are not ready yet for this).

A2SD means Apps to SD, means more apps can be installed since they don't go to your very limited internal memory.

Make 2 partitions on your SD card but be sure to copy everything inside the SD card to your PC just to be sure before making arrangement for those partitions.

First create a FAT32 partition for your datas ( such as music, videos, etc.) as the first partition, set it as primary and then create a 512-2GB EXT2/3/4 (I recommend1GB EXT 2 or 3 at the moment) as the second partition, set it as primary.

Be sure to have the EXT partition after the FAT32.

Windows can only see the first partition, that is where you are going to put bck all the files you have copied from the SD card before making all of those partitions.
[Desire General] alexbush:
Interesting thread as I am considering doing the same. Main reason for me is the clash between HTC Sense and the bluetooth stack not allowing for a bluetooth keyboard. Any particular rom recommendations for this - Leedroid, Cyanogen?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
FroYo = Android 2.2 (what you're currently on)

Gingerbread = Android 2.3

AOSP = Android Open Source Project )ROM built from the source code and now ported from another device)

As for EXT, I have a 1GB (1024MB) one and it serves me well
[Desire General] shailraj:
i am using leedroid for sometime now 512 MB EXT3-4 partition is more than enough i have 110 apps installed and still have 351MB free
[Desire General] chili1496:
once again many thanks for the replies.

what is the simplest prog to use to create the partitions? scrap that just used minitool partition magic i have an old 1gig card am gonna try will that be ok?

i have a fat32 partition size 533mb set as primary and a 362mb ext3 partition does it matter if the fat32 primary partition has a name?

looking at leedroid i think i need to install 2.3b before i can install the latest 2.3c
[Desire General] EddyOS:
You can either do it in the recovery (I use Amon RA as mine but I think CWM does it too now). Otherwise you're better off downloading a GParted Live CD, boot your PC from that and then partition the card
[Desire General] lvnatic:
When you're rooting Desire, have a look at good ol' turkeh's guide. Not only you have an excellent root tutorial, but you also learn how to properly flash ROMs, how to create and restore a system backup, how to backup apps, how to create ext partitions to enable app2sd and how to unroot the phone in case you need your warranty back.

Note: when performing the s-ff process (for data2sd), read carefully what it says and be aware that it can brick your phone if not done properly.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Turkey's guide is OK but is out of date somewhat, could do with updating to include the newer versions on unrEVOked
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dongimin2:
No hoax here, i saw some vids about other phones having problems with their touch screen. So i decided to test em myself.

Get some software from the market or whatever that lets you see where the touch point is registered.

Divide the screen into four equal parts, by drawing an imaginary half-line on the two axis, and lets label them from the top left going clockwards, 1-4.

I put my finger on quadrant 1, and the other on quadrant 3.

Then, i moved quadrant 1 finger to quadrant 2

and the finger on quadrant 3 to quadrant 4.

And when i do that, the touch point becomes reversed, specifically, the touch points are registered left and right mirrored.

Anyone suffer those symtoms?

+ The phone can't register more than 2 points. Is that normal?

++ Just checked there is no other thread about this problem ;)

Cheers
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rotorto:
Yes: this problem is found in many smartphones, including the LG P500. Google for "axis inversion bug" if you wanna know more.

It is normal. Cheaper multitouch screens don't support more than two fingers. Again, it's a limitation common to many other smartphones.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] anotherloony:
Thats why we cannot play Slice It.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] MAXT3R88:
I was wondering.. what if someone writes an app that runs in background, that intercepts the touches from the user and send the (reversed) input to the proper system "thingamabomb"?

I mean... this problem occours in a precise way (multitouch+slide): there has to be a way to fix it with some user-written software! :) come on dev community, surprise us! ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenlow:
In the process of following the rooting wiki, had hella problems getting adb working. Got adb connected finally, got the money sign, tried first instruction, got adb:permission denied. What could be the problem? Did a google search as well. I have the contents of adb tools, in the same place as g free, as it is completely impossible to start up adb shell, and then navigate to a completely different folder. Also, before moving adb tools, tried long addresses of the gfree stuff, same deal.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Did you do "adb shell" and then you tried more adb commands and got "permission denied" ?

If so, then that's because "adb shell" starts a command prompt session on your phone, and the adb commands need to be run on your PC, not your phone. So don't do the "adb shell" first.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenlow:
So wait a second, you're saying that the wonderful wiki, either is in the wrong order, or requires me to follow the pc, and phone steps simultaneously? Because im running them from my pc. Which would be implied by my saying im following the wiki. Fyi, i meant the one on the g2, involving rooting the g2, on the xda-dev site. I've done this before, i know how to use adb. this is the first time i have rooted a g2. Don't mean to sound like a ****, but you basically didnt read anything i wrote.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
The Wiki isn't in the wrong order. But IMHO it's very confusing that it shows a $ prompt when it shows "adb push" etc, because that makes it looks like it is run on the phone. But it's assuming you're running from Linux/Mac. On a PC the prompt for your adb commands would be C:\ or similar.

The Wiki doesn't tell you to run "adb shell" ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenlow:
So the answer to my question was yes, it works, but i had to wait 5 minutes to post this. I dont understand why there cant be a note that, unless you put adb into your path, cmd isnt going to recognize it unless its in the folder you're using. I feel no need to put a tool that i will use maybe once a year at most into path. also, when i just checked the wiki now, i noticed how the dollar signs had changed to c:/ ha ha. and sorry about the rudeness, at first it just seemed like you were making fun of me.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
That's an issue with your path not being setup properly on your PC. You can adb adb's folder to the path to mean you can run it from anywhere. Otherwise you need to put the gfree tools etc in the same folder as adb, then cd to there and run the commands.

Or if the path is setup properly, cd to where the gfree tools are and start doing your "adb push" etc from there.

I have just edited the Wiki to show a "C:\" prompt for the stuff that's run on the PC, to try and avoid this confusion.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Did it work ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhkr123:
the "permission denied" thing... from the phone? Or from the computer? You know you need to be root in order to access the hardware, or at least set the permissions on the hardware to be accessible to your user account....???

And... you DID enable adb on the phone side, didn't you?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdKeys:
I used the Wiki and am now perm rooted. A few tips that may help you since they helped me to get it done. I opened a command prompt and noted the default path that opened. For me it was C:\Users\Ed . I used windows explorer to navigate there and open up the Ed folder and created a new folder in Ed that I named pr. This is where I unzipped both of the gfree zip files...into that same folder. When temp rooting and perm rooting, I simply opened up the command prompt, it opened to C:\Users\Ed and then I typed cd pr then I hit enter. That set me up to input the commands in the right place both times and it worked out just fine.

Another thing that I noticed. After temp rooting, I had to ctrl alt del to open up task manager and close down adb.exe (as noted in the instructions that appeared in terminal emulator). I couldn't load adb again until I closed it down and let it restart itself. When I entered the first command in the perm root process adb started up again by itself and all went well.

Good Luck! It is well worth it. I now have Cyanogen's latest stable build loaded along with the Google apps package that I found online.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenlow:
OH! yeah, it did work. i thought i said that somewhere ha. I am currently running CM 6.1.1 now.
