Turbo Boost. i7 architecture run at 2 stock speeds, one for power saving, and one for high performance. This also goes along the performance of the HT capabilities inside the chip. :D

I'm sorry if I'm telling people what to do but this forum is ATM to messy.

The moderator should clean it up by pinning the guides to the top and making a "Rom bible" thread where we could locate all the different ROM's.

FAQ thread should be made as well.

I was hopping that we could help the admin with this and not just complain about the situation. So here I start (Please fell free to correct and add things):

[Defy Android Development] the_scotsman:
All you had to do was ask :p

I'll get this done today or tomorrow. Appreciate the help in getting the links together. I don't have a Defy, so I'm not familiar with all the procedures etc...

I'll definitely do an "FAQ" type thread for all the main guides.

I'm not 100% sure about a ROM list as that is something that will always be changing and require update all the time. I think it may be easier just to let users find their own ROMs?

Opinions?
[Defy Android Development] cloogshizer:
That would be cool!

Maybe you could include a link to the wiki page. It would than be easier to keep the ROM list up-to-date.

[Defy Android Development] Step666:
Oops, didn't see this thread :o

Just PMed you with a suggestion...

It would be workable but it would need two things - ideally a Mod dedicated to the Defy section or at least actively monitoring it and secondly when someone starts a new thread about a ROM, to PM said Mod so that they weren't having to constantly trawl through the section to check for them.

I also think it would be useful is all thread titles were formatted similarly - if it's a ROM, start with [ROM]; if it's a guide, start with [guide] etc etc.

That and trying to keep question threads out of here, have them all moved to the general section.

In fact, now that I think about it, isn't it possible to have it so that any new threads hidden until authorised by a Moderator? That way any threads purely asking questions could be weeded out immediately and, indirectly, the/a Mod would end up aware of any new threads that needed to be added to a FAQ/sticky thread and also fix any badly-formatted title.

I know it would potentially add a slight delay to new threads appearing if there were an Mod actively monitoring the Defy section it shouldn't be too bad.

Sorry for just suggesting ways to increase your workload but I'm just thinking out loud...
[Defy Android Development] the_scotsman:
I'm happy to keep a list of ROMs up to date if I get help in being informed of any new ones etc....I visit all my allocated forums MANY times per day (probably more than I should, even at work :P), so that's not a problem. I'm always just a PM away, any time of day or night, unless I'm asleep :P

Because I visit all my forums so often, there's rarely a time when there are any question threads in the dev section...I like to move them as soon as I see them, so thats another issue I am managing no problem.

I was considering implemeting the same method as you suggested, using the [ROM], [Guide] etc tags in each thread title as they work well in other forums. I'll create a sticky with more information tonight after work.

The Defy forum has become a lot more populated over the last month or so, which is why things are getting a little more cluttered, so hopefully we can all work together and keep it clean and structured :)

Please feel free to suggest anything else you think will improve the forums :)
[Defy Android Development] Step666:
Sorry, didn't mean to suggest otherwise.

I just wasn't consciously aware of you having been around here and also since you're managing 9 sections (:eek:), I thought maybe it would be unfair to ask so much.

I mean, I've done the moderating thing (elsewhere) but I doubt I could've dealt with that sort of load.

About moving questions away from the Dev section, I had also wondered if it might be worth having a sub-section for questions rather than throwing them into the General section, that way it's easier for people to see if a similar question had already been asked.

But I guess most of the questions will be about particular ROMs/Guides etc and will therefore be asked in that thread, so maybe that'd be unnecessary...
[Defy Android Development] the_scotsman:
Nah nah, it's ok, I know you didn't imply anything :D

Yea, it's a difficult one with question threads...most of them are related to ROMs or a particular ROM...and if not they are usually general enough to be put into the General forum, which is intended for general chit-chat on a device, or questions.

Some mods like to have a Q&A dedicated sticky thread in the dev section, but im not a big fan of these.

I think the FAQ/Guide sticky should help somewhat in reducing the number of question posted in the dev section.
[Defy Android Development] Step666:
I was thinking, some sort of Glossary/FAQ thread/post would also be quite useful.

Terms like 'ClockworkMod' and so on get thrown around and whilst there is a thread on how to install it, there isn't really anything that explains clearly to people starting out what it is.

Is there a Handwriting app for the Archos 70 IT yet?

I'd like to be able to write and have my handwriting translated into type-written text.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] ExploreMN:
There is an app called "Writepad" but it costs $10 - reviews make it sound pretty good and I've been thinking of buying it to give it a try but I've been looking for a fine (or finer than average) stylus first. I tried one of those fat point styli and really didn't like it for many reasons. It was the Targus brand...but anyway, I digress...

So yeah, writepad....
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] lafauce:
I am in the same boat. I have tried just about every writing app they have out now, from white boards to conversion apps. To be honest this is what I dislike about the 70 the most. I have a SWEET evernote app on my windows 6.5 TP2 that takes great notes.... and the 70 doesn't

What happens most of the time is lag between when I take my finger or stylus off the screen an put it down again. I hope once we can root that we can run a lag fix... but we shall see.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] lzblt:
I bought the writepad app and did not have success with it. It doesn't always pick up what you write on the screen with your finger. The hard stylus does not get any recognition. I picked up a brush stylus but was not any better.

I've used calligrapher/transcriber on wm phones for over 10 years, and was hoping for a similar experience but no such luck.

Swype has been the best alternative. But you still have to look at the screen when using it.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] vja4Him:
Is there a fine-tipped stylus that will work with the Archos 70? I would really like to have a fine-tipped stylus for small fonts. I'm having difficulty choosing the links I want with my fingers ....
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Themes and Apps] ExploreMN:
Another option would be Graffiti for Android which is basically the old PalmOS writing input style. Has a slight learning curve to it, but otherwise fast. That one is only 2.99 and rumored to have a free ad-based version I can't find in the market on my Epic or Archos...but it shows up in AppBrain... :-/

Hej,

Hopefully you all are fine and good in health...............

Now come to the point actually i had problem with my HTC Desie that was stuck up with its initial screen i mean when i turn on my phone it shows the htc logo then stuck up. Then i tried many times to hard reset but it could not work either, after that i download ROM "RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00 .32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe" and run from my pc (running windows 7) but after 65 % i got error during updating process and the utility shows how to recover it then according to the instructoins what i did is

1. Unplug my phone (dissconnect from pc)

2. Remove battery for 3 sec and plug it again.

3. Turn on the phone

4. Plug the USB (connect phone again)

but on the 3rd step when i plugged the battery it won't turn on neither charge or in short totally dead nothing happened to it :(.

I am requesting to all of you please please please suggest me what to do now, how can it work, how to turn it on again ............ is it bricked ??? if bricked then how to solve this problem ????.

Waiting for your responses......

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Be more specific.

- Can you still acces your recovery?

- If not, do you have a carrier specific rom? If so, download that rom, go into the bootloader, choose fastboot and run the rom. You can try this method also if you don't have a carrier specific rom.

Look here for a rom.

Hej,

After long discussion with HTC customer service and trying to convince them that the phone is not in water or in any wet place but they said that they found my phone or take my phone as liquid damage so my phone is out of warranty :(.

As they said that it has symptoms of liquid damage which turn white color of sticker into red/pink color. I even don't no how come but any how leave this.

Come to point, what can i do now my phone won't start i opened it disassemble then assemble everything but it won't power on even not charge ............

i am still stuck up with it even no idea what to do more

Need some suggestions can i order its flex cable or board or other stuff or what to do ??? how to power it on ???

Waiting for your response.

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mblaster:
Sorry, no idea for your original problem, but some small explanation where your so called water damage may come from. A friend of mine once had the same problem with a camera. The stickers can change color because of air-moisture. Especially if you carry the phone in your pocket and it is hot, your sweat leads to damp air in you pocket and affects those stickers.

I would try to argue with the htc support that it is not ok that keeping your cell phone in your pocket leads to a water damage. Perhaps they give in.

I wish you good luck with your phone.

Well I look at it this way. If the onscreen keyboard can have sound and haptic feedback. Then there has to be some kind of way to add this to the physical keyboard. Maybe trick the phone into thinking the physical keyboard is the onscreen keyboard? Just don't have the skills to do it myself.

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

when clicking on the (street) address of a contact in the HTC Desire HD contact app, I'm not offered a choice anymore. The default action now is to open the address in the HTC locations application. I used to get a choice between HTC locations, Google Maps, and other navigation programs. I do not want to use HTC locations.

I can't find a way to get the choice back again. I downloaded DefaultApp Reset by T.Fujii from the market and it offered to delete the default actions of HTC Sense and the Browser. I did that, without success. Looking in other threads the advice was to use ClearDefault from the market. I couldn't find that one, but I guess DefaulApp Reset does the same.

I can go to settings > applications > manage applications, and delete default actions of programs. In fact, the DefaultApp Reset just takes you there too. None of the applications I associate with my problem have the possibility to hit "clear default actions", they're all greyed out. I have looked into the following applications:

Contacts

Contact widget

Friend stream and - widget

HTC Hub

HTC Likes

HTC location service

HTC Sense

HTC Sync

Settings

Settings wizard

Location

Locations

Locations launcher

Locations widget

Maps

Settings widget

Street View

Maybe the names are a bit wrong, I'm not using english on my device.

After clearing HTC Sense and Browser with the app, no more new applications show up anymore that can be undone from default actions.

What can I do?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvhttn:
I never had the choice. It always went to Google maps, but now goes to HTC Locations. This came up on another thread - it could have been over on Androidfourms - and there is nothing to change to fix it on a stock phone (that anyone has found - maybe if it's rooted). All I want is to be able to see the full postal address in writing and then, *if* I wanted, to then see it on a 'map'.

After checking a few apps out I went and installed Youlu and it does exactly what I want. Shows the address then launches Google maps if you tap it. It'd be good to be able to change the application that is launched but you can't have everything ....

Dave
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deechte:
Hmm, that would suck. I'm pretty sure I had the choice once....
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deechte:
I figured it out, all of a sudden. When you are in the contact list, you can click on the picture of a contact in stead of on the name. Then you get a small widget that has a Map option to the utmost right. That one opens a window where I can chose between Google Maps and Waze, where I was looking for.

That doesn't solve your problem but does solve mine. Happy again!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvhttn:
You're right. Sort of .... On mine (latest OTA update - the one that was pulled) I get that widget but choosing the map option gets me Google maps. No choices. very strange that touching the address gets you Locations but the map option on the contact picture is Google ..... Me thinks HTC's software engineers need some better QA testing!

Dave
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deechte:
Well the choice I get is between Maps and Waze. So, if you don't use Waze - which you should by the way :-) - that might be the reason you don't have a choice.

Or, it could be that you have ticked the always use this action box. You might be able to undo that, using the method I described in my topic start. BTW, it seems that deleting to many apps' default actions broke up all Auto Sync on my device. Got it up and running now after some fiddling around.

Easy check: download Waze from the market and see if you get a choice.

I'm wondering what the requirements for an app are to show up in the choice list.
