[General Questions and Answers] chaoscreater:
Personally, I only go for phones with a keyboard because I love fast typing on the keys and hate touch typing. So if I were you, I'd get the Desire Z. However, the problem with that phone is that the way it slides up, the hinges don't seem very stable and quite a lot of people have reported having problems with it.

But a better choice would be the Motorola Milestone 2. It's cheaper and much better than the Desire Z in many ways, it's a better phone overall. I never thought i'd say this coz I always prefer HTC phones, but the Milestone 2 just seems better.
[General Questions and Answers] orb3000:
One more for Desire Z!, keyboard it´s fantastic;)
[General Questions and Answers] firetiger:
Despite the constant complaints about hinges, you can always replace your phone with warranty ;D Plus, desire z ain't a fingerprint magnet :D
[General Questions and Answers] Stu308:
cheers, but are both phones the same cpu,gpu wise or different?
[General Questions and Answers] thetmyster:
Desire HD, Better spec, better speed Bigger screen.

Typing, with swype, is a breeze, it took me 10min to learn swype, and now i can type faster than friends with a blackberry / slide keyboard phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Stu308:
ahh, now it's getting interesting. But still which?? ...LOL (?)(?)
[General Questions and Answers] missparker76:
Faster processor and more RAM for sure on the HD, but very bad speaker and a screen quality not as good as on the Z according to several tests.

As for Swype I've used it for a long time on my HD2. It's clearly an improvement for soft keyboards (SlideIT and Shapewriter as well) but in my experience a physical keyboard is much faster and comfortable than Swype.

I switched from a Touch Pro (hard keyboard) to HD2 (soft keyboard) then Desire Z. Conclusion: I'm never going to buy a new phone without hard keyboard unless I have no other choice.

And remember that when you use a hard keyboard half your screen isn't hidden by the soft keyboard when you type.
[General Questions and Answers] thetmyster:
I find the speaker OK.

I tested it against my friends i4, it was arond 2x louder.

Both at full volume. Also, i4 was much slower than DHD :)
[General Questions and Answers] x10user2011:
Of course get a desire HD, who wouldnt want a higher end android? Plus, dont worry about the keyboard because you can use swype or like htc ime, which is an amazing alternative.
[General Questions and Answers] ErOR22:
Desire HD for sure. The speaker is not too bad volume and quality wise but honestly who would listen to music and whatever on it for a long periods of time. Bigger screen is the most awesome part of the phone, and the phone is very slick. Typing with stock keyboard in landscape is very easy and very fast, I can type faster then swype this way.

So in the end it comes down what you need. You want a very sexy device with big a screen, 8mpx camera etc... or a slightly bulkier device (also sexy) with smaller screen but hardware keyboard (hardware specs aside).

When playing games on a emulator a physical keyboard is definitely better though.

And if your still not certain, pick by which one is faster, Desire HD :D
[General Questions and Answers] Mohsin...:
Desire Z for me. The Desire HD is a great phone spec-wise, but I just find it a bit too much. Desire Z is sleeker, sexier, more HTC, if you like. Physical keyboard is a massive plus in my eyes.
[General Questions and Answers] Stu308:
:) Thanks a lot guys. keep the views coming.!!
[General Questions and Answers] gsmary:
Any opinions?:confused::confused:
[General Questions and Answers] ErOR22:
Don't let us pick the device for you lol.

Go to a shop and try them both out for a while and see how they feel, that's what I did when I was going to buy a HD2....came home with a Desire HD lol.
[General Questions and Answers] Stu308:
Hi, I bought a Desire HD!! Thanks for all your input people, helped a lot!! :)
[General Questions and Answers] olyloh6696:
Wait for Dual-Cores to arrive in Feb, or defo DHD without a doubt.
[General Questions and Answers] Mohsin...:
My Orange (UK) contract ends in March, and I am eligible for an upgrade as of now. I was thinking of going for a Desire Z but it seems like a bit of a waste given that the spec isn't great as it is, and dual-core processors in phones on the horizon.

Are they any HTC dual-core phones lined up?
[General Questions and Answers] olyloh6696:
Most likely. You will find out at the MWC 11 conference! i Am almost 100% ceratain they will release one.

your contracts ends perfect timing!
[A7 General] djyellowperil:
Stream TV has posted a new firmware.

http://elocitynow.com/support_downloads.shtml
[A7 General] 855Elm:
Thanks for info...
[A7 General] rapcon:
Downloaded and loading now. I will report my experience with the new firmware in a while.

For anyone who has not upgraded, please let me know what the build number was on the old firmware. Nothing cosmetic, seems a little slower than the Dexter mod I was running, may have to revert back to that until something substantial occurs with the firmware. There is a new kernel if the previous one in Dexter's mod was based on the December 24th release.

I'm curious about the date of the release not changing although the description of what has changed is at the top of the page.
[A7 General] RojasTKD:
I just checked, it still says Dec. 24, 2010. I'm not seeing the 1/15/2011 update listed on their firmware page.
[A7 General] 855Elm:
The same here ...is the file the new one or the one from December?...what is suppose to be a new build number?
[A7 General] rapcon:
It hard to say because the filename is update.zip. It would be useful if they changed the naming convention to something friendlier. Let us rename the file to update.zip. Anyway that would be a recommendation. Name the file by the release date.
[A7 General] jazzbone:
It is the new firmware on the website.

Date is incorrect.
[A7 General] 855Elm:
I installed but ido not see any difference...
[A7 General] rapcon:
The update is a new update. Below is the build number of the December update and the current one.

December - PBJ8000.2.0121

January 14/15 I guess depending on where you are - PBJ8000.2.0124

No visual changes, all under the hood. Ad-hoc works without modification I did notice that. I'll keep it installed since I have added the marked to it.

Still does not report external storage correctly.

Still looking for Cifs and some 3g usb dongle support. That would round it out for me.
[A7 General] rogconnect:
POS updates...market and google apps are gone after the updates.....
[A7 General] RojasTKD:
And you expected something different?

Unfortunately they can't include the Market or the google app as Google won't allow them. There is nothing they can do until Google changes the rules or releases a version of Android approved for tablets. This is the case with just about all the Android tablets currently on the Market.

I'm waiting for a ROM that includes the Market and Google Apps to be cooked up by the Devs here before I to the update.
[A7 General] djyellowperil:
Yeah if you don't understand that stream tv won't be releasing a firmware with market at least on froyo, I don't think you get it. Wait for Dexter of another dev to cook up a rom or learn how to get market on there yourself. before you start calling the updates a POS.

That said has anyone noticed any real changes? So far the only difference for me is that swype FCs on me now.
[A7 General] cpg716:
Maybe because of the WIFI fixes...but I am seeing much improved battery life... Before I would get about 4-5 hours... now last two days..about 6-7 hours..maybe a fluke.. but I will see over the next few days..

[A7 General] 5[Strogino]:
I will just understand...

Is Google deny Market at any tablets with OS Android 2.2 only?

I heard Viewsonic Viewpad 7 has Google Market

Why eLocity has not?
[A7 General] djyellowperil:
Froyo was not designed for tablets. The only tablet, 7 inches or bigger, that comes with official market support is the galaxy tab. Well that I'm aware of being available anyway. Google is currently only approving market for phones on 2.2 and the only reason the galaxy tab got approval is a convoluted definition as a phone. or more likely in my mind some backroom dealings between samsung and google. Either way Stream TV has never promised market on the A7 and most of us jumped in knowing that. If you lost market el al by upgrading to the latest firmware that means you were previously running a mod... my guess being one of dexters since I'm not aware of any others.

It seems you were not aware that the mod you were running was not an official firmware from Stream TV and is not supported by them.
[A7 General] JeepFreak:
That's to be expected. You should be able to add them back pretty easy. How did you put them on there in the first place - via ElocityMod or Manually?

Billy
[A7 General] bsedor:
Can you tell me how to put the Market on my A7? I just got one and installed teh updated firmware. Looks like if I install Dexter's mod it will be going backwards on my firmware.

THX

Bob
[A7 General] RojasTKD:
No, Dexter's V1.1 is based on the latest (1/15/11) firmware. If you install that you get the latest firmware plus the Market and Gapps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uzmanali:
First of all I am a noob but reading your threads, i was able to root my captivate and install cognition v2.3b8 on my phone... everything works great... i have a dumb question... the new setup came with 6 home screen/ windows... i want to delete all the windows/screens and just keep one... but after long search have been unable to find a way. Can somebody please help. Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
You need to find a launcher in the market that you like and stick with that so you are not always at the whim of the developer with regard to the launcher included in the rom. The launcher included in that rom is not customizable...at least not in a user friendly way.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uzmanali:
Thanks

Ok that makes... any recommendations for the launcher? Something that keeps the original look

what is a good launcher with gingerbread look
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicYuzer:
If you're a complete noob the easiest way to get a gingerbread look on your captivate would be flashing a theme package the same way you flashed your rom.

The best and safest way for a beginner I think is to follow a youtube video and this one shows you all the steps with a preview of what you're about to install. But as said before you need to have ClockworkMod the same method you probably used for flashing your rom.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossrocker:
I'm rooting for a friend with the Droid incredible. He has the latest ota that he got automatically. So I was wondering if the new unrevoked.com

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toosurreal01:
It will work, just go to unrevoked.com and download the .exe file.

If you don't have the HBOOT windows drivers installed you'll need to do that first then just plug the phone in and make sure it is on charge only with USB debugging enabled.

Double click the exe and let it run!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossrocker:
Okay and does this unlock nand?

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.
[Defy Android Development] bihariel:
Well finally i fixed the camera, the problem was the devtree file from sbf, if you have a 2.51 and the resotore a 2.2 backup, and flash only boot, the devtree file is old.

-To fix camera flash this sbf from rsdlite.

-Flash light fixed: flash Flash light fix.zip fron clockwork recovery.

I come from 2.51 to jboogiebop froyo beta 2 and this fixes works for me, but it should work for all froyo roms if you come from 2.51.

-(Confirmed)if you come from 2.51 to froyo by restoring a nand backup, this fixes should work.

DO not flash if you come from(2.21 or 2.34).
[Defy Android Development] vshymanskyy:
Yeah, same thing on stock froyo, rooted with singleclick :(

Camera 360 also cannot turn flashlight on, and Mag FL...

[Defy Android Development] xabierd:
Does it work for milestone And cliq 2 roms?
[Defy Android Development] bihariel:
it should work, but not confirmed yet.
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
:confused: Did not work on Click2 rom.
[Defy Android Development] MadStu:
It didn't work with the stock chinese version :(
[Defy Android Development] jmitch268:
does it work for people that have come from 2.51
[Defy Android Development] bihariel:
yes i came from 2.51.
[Defy Android Development] bihariel:
i am uploading an alternative fix so wait.
[Defy Android Development] bihariel:
try this one http://www.multiupload.com/07K5WT0JBY if the first fix doesnot work.
[Defy Android Development] jmitch268:
if this works then we finally have a fully working froyo. going to test it out now
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Thanks, download will take more a hour (@64Kbit/s no broadband connection).

I will try it.

Could you maybe helo to fix the compass problem in MS2 and Cliq2 ROM.

On Cliq2 nothing. On MS2 east and west are in opposite.
[Defy Android Development] bihariel:
the flash light fix should work to fix compass and other sensors: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=490564&d=1295127833
[Defy Android Development] jmitch268:
well the camera works perfectly, and the flash works aswell although it does seem weaker.

thanks alot mate i can finally make the switch to 2.2
[Defy Android Development] bihariel:
could you tell me from what version you came and what fixes you flashed?
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
On Cliq2 ROM no changes, rotation and lights work but still no compass.

MS2 ROM, rotation and lights no changes ok. Compass is a bit slow. Maybe it need calibration outside the flat.

MS2 ROM no cam.
[Defy Android Development] jmitch268:
came from 2.51, restored 2.2 backup then flashed 2.2 boot only sbf. then both your fixes.
[Defy Android Development] psicodelico:
The Flash works just for the first time.
[Defy Android Development] bihariel:
did you flashed both fixes?

what version you had before updated to froyo?.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] KM4E24:
I will try to be as detail as possible.

So I recently bought a Huawei Ascend from MetroPCS, couple days after purchase I rooted my phone with z4root.apk. That worked perfectly and my phone was rooted and everything was alright.

Now the issues started when I decided to install launcher pro (which worked very good) and decided to download another app (this one for rooted phones) that was to be used to unistall stock apps that come with the phone. :)

I stupidly deleted/unistalled minicanvas.apk , talk.apk, among others.:p

Next day, my market was not downloading (it was stock on "Starting download) so I looked for help and the market help site said that it could be because I unistalled talk.apk.:confused:

So i decided to look online to see if someone had posted talk.apk somewhere so could install it back up. Found some tried them but still the market would not download apps what so ever:(

So for a last effort, I though that resetting the phone to factory stock settings would get me back talk.apk. When I did that however, the phone took like 15 minutes to turn on, (stuck on the MetroPCS logo), but at the end talk.apk was not restored.:(

To make things worse, minicanvas.apk was not restored either, so the phone has nothing to show me (although I can recieve call but can't make them).:eek:

So now I am here stock looking at the MetroPCS screen, in a desperate need for help. If anyone knows about this, please give me a hand, Thank you...:D

[HD7 General] cternek:
Hello !

I have my HTC HD7 since 3 days and in general I am happy with it, but the recharging takes ages.

Is this a normal behavior for the HTC HD7 that the recharging takes between 3 and 4 hours.

I would understand it if I would charge it thru the pc/notbook but it also takes that long if I charge it thru the AC adapter.

I am very interested in your experiences.

Thx
[HD7 General] mr charguy:
Hi I just bought the phone yesterday and I noticed that as well, it seemed to be chargning a lot slower than what I would expect. I too am curious about this. I charged it for 4 hours and the battery went from dead to about 50 or 60 percent.
[HD7 General] pNoyr3D:
Don't worry I was worried at first also, I was also pissed at the wack ass battery life. Could barely last 3/4 of the day for the first few weeks.

Now it takes about an hr. or 2 to charge & it lasts me the whole day. It gets better, be patient.

Here's another, are we ever going to get upnp or is there a way yet to change Nat type? Which is better for tethering aosp, or sense/senseless. any kernel addons that help this at all? Should I stay with wireless tether or maybe something else like the tethering that comes with a rom. I'm wanting ANY feedback that may be helpfully even for Xbox live which shouldnt be to much different but it may be, so yea anything you have to say that could help would be appreciated :)

3. Grace and humility. I speak to people with manners and I thank the creative, motivated people here for the hard work they do in providing these ROMS. You should try it.

4. No one cares how much money you're saying you have on an internet forum. That and no one believes you. If you have to brag about it, you don't have it.
