Desire HD and ARHD

Hello!

Love the desire HD and loving mike1986s' ROMs.

Anyone else find it ridiculous about the 10 posts thing.....having to do 10 posts before being able to post on certain threads?

I totally understand why and the reasoning behind it. But telling me to "get your posts up by engaging with the forum" is counter-productive, as all the threads i wish to engage in require I have 10 posts!!!

But anyway..:D
[Desire HD General] Tweedskin:
Sure thing, I followed this one to the letter and have had no problems http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11557769

Just take your time, read it through carefully and download everything first so you're all set up and ready to go.

Good idea is to print it out and tick off things as you go.

As I mentioned, I am really new to this and followed the guide to the letter and had no problems. It was the first time I've ever rooted an Android device and it was a breeze (well, it took a few hours....:)).

Has Arabic support been released for HD7? official & unofficial?

للاسف الى الان مافيه دعم للعربي

حسب ما سمعت فيه تحديثين تحديث في هالشهر وتحديث في فبراير

unfortunatelly, no Arabic support yet. but still you can download Arabic sms from the market place, and u will be able to send sms's in arabic.

Solution found on xda (solves problem with Goggles)

The problem with applications such as Goggles or QuickMark comes from the lack of autofocus in the Xperia X8.

The solution is simple (found somewhere on xda):

1. copy to the directory /system/etc/permissions file android.hardware.camera.autofocus.xml.

2. Set permission to at least 644.

3. Xml file can be downloaded from the address http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=425158&d=1287842085 or from the attachment.

4. Uninstall the updates of Android market,

5. Reset the phone.

After restarting you can find in the Market and install such apps like Goggles.

After that an update of Market does not change anything and the solution works.

This is not mine solution (except uninstalling Market - without this step it won't work) and all the credit goes to the original author).

I recieved my new extended 3500 battery and want to start using it, my question is what state should I leave my old one in?

charged

totally drained

or just pull it and leave it the way it is

Any help will be much appreciated!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1ghtl1fe:
Won't really effect it either way. Just make sure you fully charge that 3500 and leave it plugged in for 2 more hours after its green then disconnect and wipe battery stats so you can get the most out of the new one.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
Can you explain why? I would think leaving it fully charged would be best. You don't want to let a lith-ion completely drain, so perhaps the occasional charge up would be best (every 3 -6 months?)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
No clue, I'm not a battery engineer. I googled it, 40% was the general consensus of the internet.
[Desire HD General] kosso_olli:
Hello,

when listening to music, the DHD doesn't get to sleep mode anymore. That means the two times in the battery info are exactly the same (sry, have a german DHD, don't know how all the menus are called in english, awake-time, active time, something like that). Also, the extended phone info (*#*#4636#*#*) says that the phone is in use nearly 90% of the time, even when the display is off. Is it plausible that listening to music does cause such a big CPU load? Not to mention the terrible battery life... When not listening to music, I can easily get 2 days without charging. With music, its around 10 hours... When turning music off, everything is fine then, proper sleep mode etc...

Regards

Oliver
[Desire HD General] jurasgd:
How do you do it to have it work for two days? In my case, some play with it during the day and it doesn't make it till 5 :( I already did most i'Ve found about the batery and it doesn't bet any better... Awake time is close to uptime as well anyway.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] FRuiTBoOT:
I put together a list of Audio files from GingerBread and M9 that I thought people might want to have for whatever ROM they are currently using. These are .ogg files so they need to be either ADB pushed to system/media/audio or by using "ROOT EXPLORER". You can even change the UI audio tones by renaming whatever file you copy into the folder.

Example:

I wanted to use the unlock.ogg audio file as the sound when I press any key on my phone so here is what I did.

I went to system/media/audio/UI found the Lock.ogg file copied it and renamed the new file TW_Touch.ogg. This replaced the default TW_Touch.ogg audio file.

I made sure to rename the original TW_Touch.ogg file to TW_Touch1.0gg just incase I wanted it back or to use it some where else. Not sure if anyone is interested in this but thought I'd throw it out there just incase.

Thanks to Team Whiskey Dev team and EINHERJAR Dev team as I pulled these Audio files from their ROMS's.

Enjoy.

I moved the sgs4g ones over and all it did was create another folder inside the original one. Inside notification folder there were all the original .ogg + another folder named notification, with all the new ones. They still show up when selecting a tone, I just want to do it right way.

What's the best way to replace those 2 folders?

[G Tablet General] TeamSpeed:
Following the other thread, this build will be numbered 3588 or even a higher number.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It's probably going to be 3588 - I don't see it as an official update OTA (yet), but if the VS contact here says that it's due on the 20th, then it's likely to be 3588.

btw, that will be the basis for TNTL 4.2.0, if it's an official release. Same kernel / different TnT version means a minor revision (but a full update, not a supplement).
[G Tablet General] MSU_Sparty:
I am running the stock enhancement that I downloaded from this forum. It's called TnT_Enhancement_3389_v1.rar Will my GTab accept the Viewsonic update?

When I first turned mine on this morning with my coffee I noticed there was something loading hit the viewer and there is was. I sure hope that adobe update comes soon it would help a lot in viewing podcasts...
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
roebeet, et al,

I advise CAUTION with the 3588 update -- particularly if you are new to G-Tablet, modding, etc.

I posted earlier that when I logged in about 7 p.m. Central tonight I checked "Update" and it said 3588 was available. So I downloaded it.

After downloading, I told it to install and the tablet shut down and rebooted into the recovery mode. Shortly thereafter the screen showed the Android/exclamation point in triangle.

After no progress or change for a while, I rebooted into CWM (ClockworkMod) and went to /sdcard. Recovery had no command file in it and there is an update.zip there but I haven't taken it apart. I ran the update.zip using CWM to see if it would install.

The tablet did reboot afterward, but a message came up quickly saying the 3588 install was unsuccessful. Checked "About" and I'm still at 3389 (and I assume still the Enrichment stuff).

I'm not an alarmist, but thought people would like the extra warning that something may be amiss.

Rev
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Everyone,

I flashed back to OTA 3389 again and started to set up to reload CWM. Before I could even get it done, got another notification message (the yellow circle with exclamation point and red number) in the upper right of my screen. Again, it said update "1.1.3588" is available. When I touched it, it started downloading and is doing so again.

Rev
[G Tablet General] intech:

[G Tablet General] DRSReaper:
Rev

That is odd. Mine did the update, rebooted and that was it. You did get me wondering so I went into OS and check to make sure I had a full d/l and Tap UI version was a 1.1-3588
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Have you ever had CWM installed on you Gtab? If not, maybe that's why it works for you.

I think that CWM basically replaces the stock recovery image, so if you never had CWM, your machine is clean and still has unadulterated stock recovery. Just a theory...

Jim
[G Tablet General] bandityo:
Im using stock with enhancement pack and updates isnt showing anything new for me ?

David
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
I've been up and down the mountains tonight playing and I'm not sure what to say about OTA 3588.

I downloaded it off the announcement and told it I would install it "Later" so I was able to find the update3588whatever.zip in sdcard. I setup a recovery command file and was able to install the update. But after I did the notification kept coming up saying the download was complete and the upgrade ready to install. I cleared it and everything else and never could get it to accept that OTA 3588 already was loaded!!??

I made other trials with CWM, without CWM, etc.

The only way I could ever get OTA 3588 to load "right" was to flash back to 3589, thereby taking out CWM and having just a plain, stock machine. Then I ran the update process again, d/led the file again and let it install automagically and it worked and accepted that the update was done.

I'm assuming that the update has been structured to work only on stock machines since VS says they will only support stock machines.

All this has left me bleary-eyed and brain-weary --- so I'm gonna go to bed and not worry about it until I hear some other ideas on what is going on. I haven't seen any basic changes in software or performance, so I may just go back to 3389 with Enhancement -- or wait until I find a newer version of one of the custdom ROMs I like.
