[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xziaz:
This happens me with root and without root. It's when your using anything that has with the SD card to do with. Like the gallery, it has gone black for me to under a call though... I dont know how to fix this problem, and it's very frustrating to take out the battery all the time.

My friend i am working in mobiles but i couldn't guess the problem cause i bought my cousin this HTC desire until she removed the screen guard (( the plastic sticker for protect the screen)) from the screen and i solved the problem so easily.

Best of luck
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AssassinSvK:
true is that i am using Zagg shield, but this cannot solve the problem cuz i try few days without any screen protector and the problem was still there,

but i guess i solve this problem few months ago, i notice that the black screen after call happend when my network is set to "GSM only" strange but since i use WCDMA only the problem is gone, dont know surely but guessing, also when i use mobile network in gsm only mod, phone freezes totaly and only unplug battery helps, as i said since i am using wcdma/hsdpa/3g only non of these strange thing happens :)

hope this help for someone :)

Hi, guy!!

I've the same problem several months ago. Have you solved by using WCDMA only??

Thanks

Hi all,

This was happen to me last few day and i google whole world, finally i find my answer and i hope it was help for those who facing this kind of problem.

I can confirm this problem no related to rooted or without rooted phone. this problem definitely come from the proximity sensor which people highlighted this sensor located at top left of htc logo which u can see a blue color circle there.

Try watch this video of disassemble htc desire and you will find the way to clean this proximity sensor area.

Tools to use for dis-assembly:

1. Philips screw driver.

2. Torx screw driver

Cleaning tools:

1. a wet small cotton buds.

Hope this method can help.

Area to clean:

1. The proximity sensor which you will see covered by a black rubber

2. The casing area which i show on photo.

[About XDA developers] Tactics Are Key:
This is a Request

Can someone please create a App, or alter the old G2 apk file to make it so that the Nexus S can make wifi calling through T-mobiles wifi deal (like what was done with the Nexus One here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=807116) so that people, specifically me, can preform wifi calls over the Nexus S in places where there is no service? As well as if you figure out a solution that can send and receive both texts and calls, will you please provide directions on how to make this work? I would greatly appreciate if someone would do this. Thanks

Again this is for the Samsung Nexus S (gingerbread android) to make wifi calling through t-mobile's system, not through 3rd party stuff that charge you to make land line calls and don't allow you to receive texts, such as skype.
[About XDA developers] spoontwisted:

I was using the Wifi Calling you referenced on my Nexus One and fell in love with it. I just upgraded to the Nexus S and that's the feature I miss the most.

I think the Vibrant on T-Mobile also has wifi calling, so it may be easier to port over from that device since it's also made by T-Mobile.

Thoughts?

Hey been having a issue for awhile now on my HD2 with the built in youtube. I mean it searches just fine, but when I try to watch the video and connect, it just stays stuck at "Connecting". Now if I load up in IE and watch it whille its embedded in the browser it works fine. But getting a lil annoying now that I cant watch using the app.

I do use Energy Rom and love it, also if I boot into Android mode, the youtube app works fine, Just seems in Windows mode, the youtube stopped working. Oddly it stopped working on my G1 too. Anyone have some ideas?

Personally I don't have issue's with YouTube; but way not asking on the NRG thread?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysticales:
Cause I dont know 100% if its a NRG rom issue or something else. Reason I say this is, cause Ive had this issue for awhile, and even after rom updates, still something is up. Rarely does it work right, so I dont know what the issue might be.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
Don't know what cause your problems. But one question do you have install/use Microsoft Voice commander? I know that this caused problems with the latest YouTube build.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
I don't know if you have done/try this already, button do a hard reset or a new install and try than again YouTube before you install a customization/application.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysticales:
Well when I update the rom, I hard reset. Like I said, it sometimes works, other times it stays on connecting. Makes no sense that it works embedded in a browser tho.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms79723:
Aside from the fact that Samsung is slippin' and not updating to 2.2 as of right now...what other issues are there from the stock point of view? I plan on getting the Epic because I don't want to have to go through hoops for average performance (coming from an Evo..I'm a flashaholic). So i think I may just stick with stock and not root unless I feel like I absolutely have to. I use my phone like my parents, just basic stuff. Texting, browsing (tons of browsing), emails (tons of emails) some calls, just basic stuff. On my Evo as of right now, I only have one app that I absolutely need (WordFeud...don't judge haha). So without rooting, would I have any problem doing those things?

Side Note: I do not care about updates at all btw.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] littlepr:
You should be ok. Stock is bad on battery if you decide to use it as you primary GPS or entertainment center be prepared to carry an extra battery and a car charger at all times. Also, google navigation isn't reliable on stock because of an outstanding GPS satellite lock bug.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms79723:
How bad on battery? Better than Evo? With my Evo with moderate usage, I got about 4-6 hour (without rooting) and in some cases...only 5-7 hours with rooting and a different kernel..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musclehead84:
My phone wasn't stock for long after I got it but i Had an evo as well and the epic has a better battery life than the evo. Why did you have to flash the evo to get average performance? The epic and evo are two of the best phones out there. Are you going to do any type of development for the epic?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms79723:
Well, I was kinda wrong when I said "average performance" but at the same time, Im kinda right when I say that. The Evo, for me, at times would run very well for like 20 mins, then after that it would run just like it did as if I didnt have the different kernel and rom...I would just keep flashing different kernel/rom combinations to see if I could get a better overall performance that was balanced as opposed to the odd stuff (like...losing 2% in 1 hour and then just losing 8% in 3 mins...that stuff kinda bugged me).

And as far as development goes...if I root my phone (which I'll probably end up doing) then of course I'm gonna try to jump on this development game.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amosher13:
i think you'll at LEAST want to flash a custom kernel, even on DI18 (2.1) you'll get much better battery life on some of the undervolted kernels. i dont think any of us complain about performance at all. it handles anything you can throw at it imo.

and the GPS issues i ever had are pretty much resolved even on the leaked DK28 2.2 build, i get locks in 5 seconds or less almost 100% of the time.

I guess it should be fine. I'd rather open the Locations app and delete the maps from there rather directly from a file manager, seeing how the Locations app can be picky some times.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Socialoutcast:
can u get into the boot loader at all? If so you are not Bricked you will just need to reinstall the entire system using fast boot. You may be able to restore the default OS using an update.zip file. It may be named something different for your device. All you do with that is place it on the root of the SD card and when the bootloader boots it finds the file and flashes the phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joprysko1:
I can't get fastboot to recognize the device, it goes right to the ADB bridge. Where I can run some limited ADB commands that are recognized.. If I could get it to start up in fastboot mode, that would likely solve the issue, provided I can get the correct working update.zip file, rather than me trying to fudge one from the clockworkmod backup.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] number78:
do you have any hardware buttons on device? turning on with volume up or down (or back) gives you differing USB ID's to device manager - obviously you want fastboot mode. (use device manager on ADB Bridge (Details) to get your ID - i think its DEED for fastboot and D00D for fwdn)

otherwise... you can force boot a new bootrom. It's what I did on my telechips device. Find tcboot.rom - put it in the same directory as fwdn

1. Open your device

2. Unsolder your battery + terminal

3. While turning on the device, place a short - screwdriver/pin etc - across pins 7/8 of the NAND chip (for 5 seconds)

4. FWDN should bring up a message about flashing bootrom

5. Reboot (and resolder battery cable)

Note: this obviously is pretty hardcore - but i went from brick, to black screen brick, to full restore via this method.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toninho 3rd:
Since yesterday I've been trying to Upgrade my Captivate to Froyo. I bought the phone in canada, but I'm currently living in Brazil.

I've tried using Kies, using several tutorials through the internet including the official one from Samsung Canada, but every time I get the error message that my device can't be updated. I even tried to manually installing the phone drivers.

I've unrooted the phone and even have done even a factory reset. the only thing that I haven't tried yet is a total master reset, because I haven't found how to do it on the i896 (the tutorial on the topic repository here is for the i897 version).

Since I'm using here on Brazil, I unlocked it by changing the nv_data.bin file. I don't know if it might be having some influence on the whole deal.

so my question his: What can I do upgrade it to froyo?

I tried to contact Samsung Canada, but there is no e-mail, and for some weird reason, every time I type their 1-800 number with the international dial code, it says that the phone does not exist.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickysa2000:
build.prop

try editing the /System/build.prop with the model number you desire and kies should recognize, if you don't have any other driver issues.

Hope this helps
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toninho 3rd:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toninho 3rd:
everything seem to be all right with the file. I'm comparing the info with the pic from the official tutorial but i didn't find any problems.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickysa2000:
Make sure you are using Kies from http://www.samsung.com/ca/consumer/...RWC/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=support

You need to be on Samsung Kies, version 1.5.3.10113_29 or later. PC should be running Windows XP/Vista/7.

After downloading and installing Kies on your PC, run it and connect the PC and smartphone via the data cable. Power on the device. Once the device is detected, you will see an alert telling you that a software update is available.

Click the pop-up to get the upgrade started.

Follow the instructions in this PDF:

hmm.. that's weird.. are you sure, that's the latest version of kies u're running??

Did you happen to get swype and voice search working in brazilian portuguese? I need these too, but I have no clue what to do. Btw mine is not the canadian version, is the AT&T version.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toninho 3rd:
Sorry about the late reply. Being Busy exploring the phone and Froyo :D

I think i'm in love.... :o

<cough>

Anyway...

About swype: Not PT-BR, but close enough. you can have European Portuguese if you Uninstall the stock swype and add the Beta from the swype site.

you need to register on the official swype site to get the beta (you will download it through your e-mail).

you can uninstall the stock swype Using Titanium backup.

As for Voice Search: you can use morelocale2 (get it on market) and use the settings from this site: http://www.smartphonemania.net/traduza-seu-android-para-portugues-com-o-morelocale-2.html to get your locale as PT-br. All google apps should work in Portuguese now, even if most of the interface stays in english.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elias.alberto:
Not late at all, I was still waiting for it. :)

I have absolutely no problem with the interface being in english, what I really do need in portuguese is swype and voice search (and possibly voice commands). European portuguese will do for now, in the meanwhile I'll try to find someone who got the brazilian version of Galaxy S (I9000B) and did a backup of its system, which might include the swype apk in pt-br.

I'll follow the tips you provided me and if I happen to get the swype apk in pt-br, I'll let you know.

Thanks a lot! :D

EDIT: As I promised I'd post the swype pt-br apk, here it is:

I hate it that the shift wakes up either with the power button OR the volume rocker. I always bump the volume every time I pick it up, then have to go to the power button to turn it back off. Such a bad idea. Any way to disable the volume rocker from waking the phone?
[EVO Shift 4G General] emkorial:
The volume rocker doesn't wake up the phone, I just tried.

Sliding the keyboard partway out will wake up the phone, AND bypasses the lock screen, which is a really poor "feature"

warning before you buy!

i ordered my hd2 from tmobile on the 23rd... got it on the 28th... BROKE. for some reason this thing would not stay on for more than 2 min with out rebooting. took about 2 hours and at least 3 seperate phone calls to set up a return and cancel the contract i had to extend to get the (broken) phone. i ended up buying one in mint condition off the local craigslist for $50 and 2 years less. just a warning. i do like tmobile but after the crap they gave me in trying to return it.... ill pass.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Sorry you had a bad experience with the refurb from T-Mobile. But at least T-Mobile took it back, they probably would have sent you another one if you would have asked to replace the broken one. Also I am not downing your choice to buy off of craigslist, but if you get a broken HD2 from there you probably will not be so lucky to be able to return it. Just a thought, it is ultimately up to the buyer to make the decision.
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
I ordered mine in mid March. I already had one, but by ordering a refurb through T-Mobile I was offered a lifetime warranty for 1.99 per month. I'm probably going to sell my original, which was advertised as "open box", but had about 13 hours of talk time. Maybe it was used in a store or something, I don't know. This one had been used for about 3 minutes, so it was very new.
