What a fantastic idea! I'll just have absolutely no wish for the forum to be the best it could be, and I'll just not care if it becomes so unhelpful that everyone stops using it and I therefore lose one of the most valuable resources (in my opinion) for smartphones on the internet.

I should just get over it. What was I thinking?
[About XDA developers] apallohadas:
You should take your own advice and "Get Over It" when you see a stupid question, rather than going off and insulting the person.
[About XDA developers] DaveShaw:
Yes, let's try and keep the animosity out of this thread :p :o ;)
[About XDA developers] Archer:
Oh it's okay here. I just care about the HD2 forums :p (till I get another phone)
[About XDA developers] polo735:
I don't think you get what I'm trying to say.

People here flame instead of reporting posts. Help the mods clear the clutter, that's all we can do. Stop getting upset by the problems and try to fix them.

I'm not telling op to get over it, I'm telling the flame posters to get over the dumb noob posts, reposts, etc.

I completely agree with op and I wish there was a solution.
[About XDA developers] dharvey4651:
Response deleted - Misunderstanding.
[About XDA developers] Archer:
Sorry for that - I guess I misunderstood you (as I think the above poster did too!)
[About XDA developers] polo735:
We all acknowledge this is an issue but what is the solution?

I feel that flame posts should be treated more harshly that noob posts. When mods delete posts there could be a severity scale. A post in an existing thread, asking a question answered in a sticky can be 1 pt. A similar question posted in a new thread is 2 points. A flame post is 3 points. The system can add these points toward a temp post restriction.

This may seem severe but some threads are growing very large.

[About XDA developers] Haizum74:
One thing I noticed coming to XDA, the thread titles are mesmerising. I didnt know where to start as a lot of the titles, at first, appeared very techie and I am no noob when it comes to geekyness either.

I can understand how new members really get lost here and just post a thread that might have been answered countless times. Its like a minefield.

Erm, this is the thread about repeat posts yeh :-)
[About XDA developers] NFRCER:
Another thing I noticed is that the HD2 forum has become somewhat of a battlefield, more like who's the bigger fanboy/fangirl in the world (Excuse my writing please). It has become very difficult to attain a conversation without the constant bashing of other OS's. I have to admit, I have tried to do something about it, but I feel as if I am prob not helping instead. I could be wrong though.

Examples like this: "Yes it is!

That's why Google, does not care anything, that i pays some paid app i use..... and still do for free marketing to Android.

Because this, MS$ and other SO ****s, Android is winning the war of smartphones".

I don't mean to pick Android as my example, but the one i could actually find. There's alot of movement of user in the WP7 forums as much as the Android forums too. But this is an issue that was rarely when Winmo 6.5 was the only choice.

I believe in sites like XDA to empower the user and keep us all "warm" much like when it's "cold" (manufacturers not doing their job) and we all sit in a circle.. say doing smores and welcome each other, meaning supporting ourselves and devices etc.

But the recent times have gotten so badly that it's difficult to even want to read any further. In fact, most are our new members as Dharvey mentioned, and I've got no problem helping anyone that asks respectfully and shows they are in it to get their issue fix. But when I see posts like, "HELP!!!!! Google/MS/Apple sucks Bluetooth not working", I provide an answer but I also try to direct them to the search function if I can; But it really burns you out completely and discourages you.

Winmo 6.5 had these problems, but it was people freaked out or someone who was nervous and due to that did not know how to handle it. Now it seems it's a common thing everyday, unfortunately.

As far as I remember, this has been a place for ELABORATED discussions and the supporting of everyone.

As someone else said, this isn't restricted to the HD2 fora. It's also starting to pop up in the Desire fora too.

[About XDA developers] Diamond_dawg:
I think the Vibrant was too, i guess XDA could add a lot of new moderators again, Not trying to imply that the mods are bad, but having double, triple with mod from different Time zone for particular forums would help more often. if there is 2 mods for one section , by having 4 with different time zones, we could have some one look through out the day, and therefore also lessen the work and pressure on our current mods. Also XDA should start a trial moderation period and try to find potential Mods too, i mean the Form for the application is not seen by alot of people
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p1k4mp3:
Hello everyone.

1st, greetings from Swizterland.

Now, i have someone in my family, that dropped his X1 on a fuel tank (Diesel).

Know there is some issues, on the screen /display it have spots/stains, it stinks the fuel(diesel), and when i make a call, i dont hear fine.

For this kinda proble what can i do to solve those issues?

Thanks so much, have a nice day.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draken Korin:
hm, until now I only ever heard of water related incidents...

therefore I can only share some general thoughts:

stains, either you can wipe them (e.g. soft cloth) or it might be that the fuel corroded/blurred your screen, that could be irreversible...

smell, should resolve itself in time, fuel is to a degree made of aromatic hydrocarbon and that should exhale...though it will take time

as to call quality, was the phone used before it completely dried off? otherwise this might have damaged the phone

have to admit that's not much, sry
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p1k4mp3:
ok i see...

i think yes, it was used before completly dried off!

than, i go dissasemble it, to clean the display and screen, should i check anything else?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bewA:
There are several apps out that does this kind of thing:

Timerriffic

Locale

Tasker

Setting Profiles

Profile Valet

I'm after something Free that I can do the following:

Turn on/off AutoSync

Turn on/off notification/ring volume

Turn on/off orientation

Turn on/off airplane mode

on a scheduled time or location based.

Does anyone have any recommendations or experience?

I hear lots of people like Tasker but it seems a bit complex!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
Tasker does that and a LOT more, but there is an app that'll probably do what you want. Haven't tried it myself yet, since I own and love Tasker. :) Look for Modus on the market, also has a thread on this forum.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bewA:
Thanks :)

I've just tried modus and it doesn't have a autosync plugin :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grcd:
[Q] Intending to sell the Diamond. Good idea to replace housing & digitizer first?

Okay, here is the deal. I am not actuallly sure if I will sell my Diamond at the end or not, but the chances are 50/50. But one thing is sure: The present digitizer is badly scratched and at times the phone needs almost stabbing in order to work.

And the rest of the housing (body) is not in top condition either, with chips, marks and scratches all over. The phone is presentable, but only barely.

I plan to either sell the phone (as 'personally reconditioned') or even keep it if I am well impressed with the result (or give it to my father).

Do you think it is worth it, or will there be barely any increase in selling power?

Thank you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] p1k4mp3:
Hello all.

I bricked my Htc magic 32a 2 days ago.

It don't starts at all, neither fastboot ou recovery mode.

When i plug the usb cable, nothing happen, but charging led becomes on.

There's any way to unbrick this phone, by having some applications/files on SDcard?

Else, any one know where can i get it unbricked in Switzerland, by JTAG way or something like that?

Thanks so much and sorry for my bad english

No comment.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
it's an opinion column (if you can call it that) and not much more. the slow and cumbersome behemoth needs a good deal of time to get up to speed. i'd give them credit for the 1.0 release of wp7. sure, there were some really really face-palm points that were missed, and they attempted to lock it down in an even more incredibly stupid way than apple... but it was a major release.

the problem with 1.0 major releases is:

promising the world, then backpedaling

promising really awesome updates, with all that stuff the other guys have been doing for x years

promising not to fragment (everyone fragments, even apple)

comparing a 1.0 to another 1.0 is fun, and makes for flamewars, but it's not really productive. if company A's 1.0 was released 5 years ago, company B should ALREADY KNOW WHAT SUCKS AND WHY from company A's mistakes and shortcomings. M$ has some really really smart people working there, must just be the management that effs it up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
with the exception of the marketplace bug, what did MS need to fix (from a stability standpoint)? You'll see apple's first couple of updates were bug fixes.

I'm not in any hurry, and if you are, you shouldn't have jumped on the bandwagon at launch.
[Windows Phone 7 General] zukа:
I'm not either. It's just a bit confronting, that's all.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Camera settings not saving for one. Facebook synced contacts still showing up over bluetooth. Ability to disable camera shutter sound. Alarms "disabled" if headphones plugged in. No address bar in IE landscape.

There are plenty more which could be considered actual bugs. I'm not expecting new features to be pushed weekly, but see no reason why bugfixes would not be. Especially very basic ones such as the camera settings not saving - this has been the number one gripe since launch and afaik there has been no official word from MS regarding this (apart from their user-manual changing to make it sound like a "feature" rather than a "bug"), the same goes for Facebook contacts showing up over BT.
[Windows Phone 7 General] canadariot2312:
Apparently not there so you can get screen estate.

I am sure that Microsoft will squash most/all of the bugs in this coming update, which happens to be OTA.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Yeah, and I agree with that - I don't want the address bar showing up constantly. I actually don't want it showing up in portrait mode all the time either.

But this has been done before - there are plenty of good solutions out there for hiding the browser address bar when in landscape.
[Windows Phone 7 General] canadariot2312:
I think a browser update might enable the option to hide the address bar or make it show up will be available in the upcoming future.

About the article, it looks like Microsoft only needs one update to solve the security of the OS. Microsoft does not need to roll out hundreds of tiny updates a year unless completely necessary.

Perhaps you can't read, he said "from a stability standpoint" not your personal preferences or annoyances. Those are not bugs, they're quirks.

[Desire General] mir.nazu:
hello,

i bought HTC Desire A8181 (from carphonewarehouse, UK), it came with 2.1-update 1, now it is 2.2 (2.29.405.5). i want to play with custom ROM. the following questions came to my mind. if I want to go back to untouched ROM? [i have not flashed my fone with custom ROM yet, but I want to. I want to understand the options. its a precautionary step I am taking]

1. how do I identify the RUU number for HTC A8181?

2. what is signed RUU?

3. if rooted with unrevoked3 but not flashed custom ROM can i receive HTC OTA updates?

5. what really changes when i root with unrevoked3?

sorry if my quarries sounds stupid, i am new to android, and learning the way of android.

tanx a lot
[Desire General] EddyOS:
RUU = ROM Upgrade Utility

You match it to the version on your phone (2.29.405.5) - simple!!

Here it is:

http://www.mediafire.com/?bbb7m2b4t5jejhm

Or here:

http://www.multiupload.com/LEJCW182AH

Keep it safe

Once rooted you CAN'T get OTA updates as it'll screw things up
[Desire General] Kalavere:
1) An RUU doesn't have a 'number' I am aware of, generally they are region or network provider specific. So being in England I would use the stock O2, Vodafone, Orange etc, RUU, or use any non-specific WWE (World Wide English) RUU.

2) A signed RUU is one that hasn't been modified and will run on any stock phone, the phone will only let you install a non modified RUU by default, I believe. (My definition maybe a little off here)

3) If you have changed nothing on the phone from stock, you can still recieve OTA updates, yes. Installing a custom ROM will stop you being able to use the OTA update feature.

5, lol) And to quote binary visions from AndroidForums

Essentially it's just an app in the app drawer than enables you to have administrative control over your phone. If you never use a program that requires 'root' access as it's known, It'll do nothing. If a program requires 'root' access, it'll just give you the ability to run it. Kinda like a school that locks the Control Panel on Windows from the school kids, stopping them from changing screen resolution and messing about with the PC.
[Desire General] rraaka:
Eddy, is this ruu rootable ? what hboot does it give you, please ? can it be s-offed with alpharev 1.8 ?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
1. Yes

2. HBOOT 0.93

3. Yes
[Desire General] mir.nazu:
re

thanks EddyOS and Kalavere.

I m feeling a bit confidant now.

but......................................

what is the meaning

[Kalavere] "If you have changed nothing on the phone from stock, you can still recieve OTA updates" (no custom rom)

and

[EddyOS] "Once rooted you CAN'T get OTA updates as it'll screw things up"

another stupid question - if i install any custom rom will it change IMEI no?

if i install RUU after, will it change IMEI no. (will any device specific number change)?

tanxa lot
[Desire General] EddyOS:
IMEI can't be changed as it's hardcoded onto the phone

Once rooted it's not recommended to accept an OTA update, it'll remove root but not be 100% unrooted and cause more issues than it's worth so don't do it
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mattman83:
Howdy guys,

Not sure if this is the appropriate spot - apologise if it is not.

Had my HTC Desire (Bravo or G7 for some IIRC) for a few days now, looking to de-brand and move to the stock HTC ROM (found all this stuff already, plus notes on how to make/use goldcard).

However, my issue is Sync does not work with what appears to be some kind of driver problems and given the drivers don't work 100% neither does any other function that interacts with the Android OS over USB (mounting SD card is fine). I can't make a goldcard because it can't pull the CID.

I run win7 x64, latest ROM on the phone, latest version of HTC sync, windows fully up to date. Sometimes the drivers install with error, sometimes they all seem to go on fine will just not talk to Sync. Have probably uninstalled/reinstalled about 5 times now, have taken lots of other software off my computer in case of conflict (Windows live security, itunes, lots of random junk). I have no antivirus, no firewall - no chance of conflits there.

I have tried different cables and different USB ports - all behave just the same.

I've tried a couple of other random driver files I've found around the web, but no effect.

Please help :D

[Hero CDMA General] kfreshx:
What is the reason behind such great improvements in the hero's performance when using CM6 or ASOP mods? Is it mainly because of the kernel? the froyo OS?

Any answers to enlighten a newbie is greatly appreciated. thanks.
[Hero CDMA General] il Duce:
Yes and yes. Also the lack of sense frees up a bunch of ram.

sent from my hero, which no longer sucks ass
[Hero CDMA General] kfreshx:
im assuming the kernel is more important for performance and speed than the froyo os?
[Hero CDMA General] ranger61878:
Well...arguably. I would say the bigger performance enhancer is actually just not having Sense, followed by a close second of the kernel. The ROM and kernel really work together to get the performance boost. So, not having Sense, running a custom ROM, and loading a custom kernel is where the speed comes from. All are optimized, tweaked and made for the Hero. :)
[G Tablet General] lsu205:
Been using the enhancementpack for about a month with no problems. Today the second time I booted up fromm off, not sleep I got a message about titanium backup kerimidas stopping. While titanium app is still there it won't run. Also my browser favorites and history are gone. And some but not all of my apps won't run. I have copied the titanium backup folder that has the last backup from the other day to the micro SD card...sdcard2. Would a reinstall of titanium and then a restore from that backup get me back to normal?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vyeshaun:
Hi guys, Well after trawling through the wealth of information on this site and reading till my eyes bleed I honestly cant seem to fix this.

I was hoping and preying some amazingly talented expert here could maybe point me in the right direction.

Ok so heres whats going on. Got my HTC Desire, Told me there was a system update. So I chose to install ofcourse. Then BAM! for no reason half way through installation the phone dies. Vibrates 7 times and black screen (Searched this too) - nothing.

So pulled battery, waited for a few minutes and put in, power on. Phone gets to HTC (white screen) the freezes. Or even sometimes just switches off and vibrates 7 times again!

So I found An RUU for 3 mobile - RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.22.771.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127568_signed

Tried running it with the phone in fastboot usb

All was going well then reached about 80% and gave me an error code 110. Telling me to download a complete RUU for my device.

Now when I power on the screen is just black, however I know it still has some functionality as I can hear the sound for device connection in Windows when I Power on holding down Vol-

now I thought I would be clever and seeing as whilst my phone was working it downloaded the "correct" update. So checked the sd card and found it in the Downloads folder. Renamed it to PB99IMG and tried booting the phone holding down the back key. But still nothing.

By the way the phone isnt rooted and is very very very new. On 3 mobile UK network.

Can anybody please give me some pointers on how I may be able to go about fixing this? Im sure there has to be some way as it still has "some functionalty" (I think lol)

Also tried the adb method of connecting or re-flashing but device is not found.

Cheers all
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Sounds like the RUU is corrupt - what is the file size?

Also, is that the one your Desire came with? If not, that won't work anyway

Also, an OTA shouldn't be named PB99IMG as that's only for RUU files - you rename an OTA update.zip and flash it in recovery. Looks like you've not read enough
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vyeshaun:
Hi, thanks for the quick reply.

The RUU I tried installing that failed was from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695667

RUU_Bravo_H3G_UK_1.22.771.1_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127568_signed.exe

Filesize is 153mb. It matched the version number that my htc shipped with and even says when running the RUU that both versions are the same. But as it failed I tried the Update from my network provider that I found on the SD card by renaming to PB99IMG.zip and holding Back and Power down.

Looks like Im buggered I suppose. Im still trying to get my phones CID as Im guessing then I can install any RUU for my phone?

I just cant access anything to get the CID :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
The PB99IMG can ONLY be used when extracting it from an RUU

The one you got OTA (Over The Air) isn't a full ROM - it's just a 30MB-odd update

Download the RUU from here:

http://www.4shared.com/get/t2SsuYNF...sionid=2D4E782FB44E2CF020622A15F76C1A5A.dc278

(Shipped-ROMs.com can lead to corrupt downloads)

And then follow the guide I attached to this post - it's how to extract the PB99IMG from an RUU:

Thank you so much! Will try now and let you know how it goes.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vyeshaun:
Still no good. Its tricky as I cant see the screen to select the options. But Ive followed the guide allowing it enough time to load before choosing yes etc and still no joy. Im not even sure the PBIMG99.zip is loading.

I've even tried running the RUU again from the PC after Holding vol - and Power down and waiting for the sound in windows that its connected. But gives me error code 110 again saying it cannot read files.

Loos like Im going to have to send it back to my supplier. Although Im sure they will blame me for everything and refuse me a new handset! lol
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Once you have the correct PB99IMG file, you copy it onto the root of the SD card (not in any folders) and then turn the phone on holding volume down. You don't have to do anything else as it'll find the file and ask if you want to use it

To try the RUU turn the phone on holding the BACK button to get into FASTBOOT, connect to the PC and when it says FASTBOOT USB on the screen of the phone run the RUU

Out of interest, when you boot into HBOOT when info do you see at the top of screen?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vyeshaun:
Thats the problem. My screen is blank. I used to be able to get into Hboot and fastboot and see the screen. Now I dont see anything. But Im sure its still going into hboot etc as I hear the connection sound windows makes when holding vol and power.

Hope that makes sense?

Edit. I do know that before all went wrong I had hboot 93 or something like that.
