[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pruikki:
it is a lag of a update of 1,7. so you need to wait to another update, HTC knows this issue but they too busy planning inspire,thunderbolt phones so DHD will haveto wait.

i hear this will be fixed by the summer of 2011.

correct me if i am wrong
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkolev:
I hope by the summer 2011 we have Gingerbread, not just a fix for the issues HTC caused ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viggs:
I fixed this issue by disabling the sync on the Facebook for HTC Sense in the Account and Sync area in settings than deleting the account, next I went to the Manage Applications and clearing the data off the Facebook for HTC Sense. After re-adding my FB account to the HTC's Facebook app it worked.

Hope this helps.:)

if you gonna make a restart, problem will back! what i do to handle after restart, go to the contacts, unlink facebook htcsense and link again, save and close.

Actually some contacts will stay after even restart. so you dont have to do it for every contact.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] id10terrordfw:
You have to chmod the pics.

Using terminal emulator,

chmod 666 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*

Great! Thank you!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViousAD:
You could try a couple of things

1. Simply Reboot. This fixes the problem a lot of the times

2. Sort out your lined contacts. Usually, if there are more than 6 linked contacts (even if all of the 6 have icons for them), Sense just doesn't show them. A lot of times, you might end up having duplicates of contacts which may have been made by either, having an iOS devices with iOS 3 or earlier syncing contacts with your Google account, or if you used the Transfer Data app.

3. Hit the Sync Now button. You might end up loosing statuses/profile pictures if the previous sync hit an anomaly. You could go to the settings and trying your luck by tapping on the Sync All button. Usually this should work. If it doesn't, try re-signing in into the account(s) you think are causing the problem

This should solve whatever problem which you were having.

Hope this helped.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronn888:
I followed instructions here to root/cwm my Nexus S:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=895545

Everything was working fine for a few weeks then suddenly it would randomly turn off and pushing the power button would not turn on the phone. I would have to remove battery then turn it on.

Starting today, it would turn on by removing battery but would be stuck on google screen and not go anywhere.

I went into fastboot and tried to erase/flash nandroid backup but would get:

C:\Nexus S\Stock ROM\2010-12-22.21.06.07>fastboot flash system system.img

sending 'system' (151459 KB)... OKAY [ 29.074s]

writing 'system'... FAILED (remote: Write Fail)

finished. total time: 29.080s

I can flash boot, recovery, cache, but not data.img or system.img

So I try using restore in CWM and everything loads fine from backup/recovery but when I reboot still stuck on google screen... I don't know what else to try. Any one able to help? Thanks!!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderdroid:
Get the GRH78 Nandroid backup and restore it in clockwork recovery

just download a stable ROM like Bionix 1.2

and use CW recovery to mount the SD copy it over

then install the ROM zip using CW recovery

Im having similar issue with the bionix 1.2, what part of the process is reflashing the rom and what is reflashing the gapps?

Sorry, just trying to figure out why I cant get by the boot screen on custom roms.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
let me ask you this way, since my above statement cant really be simplified... whats your process of loading custom roms?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinpc:
I have downloaded Bionix NS 1.2 w/stock kernel, moved to sd storage root folder, clockwork recovery, i backed up my stock rom, wipe data/factory reset from clockwork, install zip from sd, install Bionix NS 1.2 w/stock kernel, reboot.

After this i get stuck on the Google screen and have to pull battery.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
you're missing to wipe: Factory, Data Cache, Dalvik Cache (Advanced)

after you wipe THREE... then flash bionix NS 1.2 (install zip from sdcard)

then reboot.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yup. wipe wipe wipe...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinpc:
Well OK, i wiped data/factory reset, wipe cache partiion( i think that is what you mean when you said Data Cache, and cleared dalvik cache and install,

Still stuck at google on Bionix NS 1.2 w/stock kernel. Any other suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
This is probably a stupid question and i am not going to hear the end of it so here it goes, How can i find out what my original FW that came with my tab was? I have flashed a few ROMs to try and get Voice on my T-Mobile tab and i am currently running Roto's JME v4. Of course i never did a back up of my original FW since it was in the early stages and there was no way to do it until Roto came up with his Rotobackup. The reason is that i wanted to have it just in case even though that might be too late now. I do have a Stock T-mobile.zip to be flashed with Odin that Roto was able to put together but of course that does not work for me since i have a locked bootloader.

In short is there any way for me to find my original FW? or wait to see if Rotohammer can unlock the bootloader or am i basically SOL and just pray and hope my tab does not crash on me and just stick to one good known ROM (currently Roto's JME v4)
[Galaxy Tab General] halftonehero:
I think there's a thread on a bounty for anyone who unlocks a bootloader. So flashing with Odin or Heimdall won't work in that situation?

no every time i try to install the stock T-Mobile fw that Roto set up i get a Fail message in Odin.
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
That's where i got the file from, but i can not flash it, supposedly i have a locked bootloader, so right now im SOL until someone can work around that, i can flash other FW from Roto. Another thing i can't flash is CF-Root same issue i get a fail message it goes back to me having a locked bootloader.
[Galaxy Tab General] rotohammer:
Just chill man! The signed bootloader fix works for me and several other folks, it will be released early next week.

There is absolutely nothing you can do at this time. Starting new threads wont help either.
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
As always thank you, i was just reading something about that but it keeps re-directing people to different threads and its a bit confusing. I guess im just a bit impatient, cant wait for the release and finally be able to go back to stock if i ever need it and then change back to a different room.

Please advise which thread to look for the release once it comes out.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Procyon_82:
I've searched a bit online, but can't find the answer. I have a case, but I think it takes all the beauty away from the phone because it's pretty fat.

What are the thinnest cases for the HTC Desire?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madd0g:
I like the stock Desire leather pouch, it doesnt add anything on thickness.

Google "Stealth Guards"

They're the kind of screen protector like stickers that cover virtually your entire phone.

Got one on my desire. Feels strange and makes the phone look a bit tacky and cheap but does the job (and is really thin)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] momerbk:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ether_Man:
Atleast with the 2.2.1 rom, it plays 1080p quite nicely. IF and ONLY IF, it can use hardware decoding, which requires the video to be in h264 or mpeg4 in mp4 container and even then, it's still some settings that needs to be set specificly and stuff but I dunno what those restrictions are exactly and from searching for several days, I have found noone that knows that. I've come to the point where basicly, I just try and see if a video works.. Sometimes it does, sometimes it dont. If not, reencode to mpeg4 using SUPER using "No change" as the aspect, and it works fine to play after that..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingCifer:
dude seriously why the hell do you want it to play full hd? your resultion is around

850 x 480

you really want to play a video with 1920x1080 ? if you got at least 10 gig of space on your sd card for one movie you can try it ... but be warned ... your watching a "high quality" video that gets shrunk so it can fit on your "tiny" screen ....

edit: just download Super (http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html) and optimize it for your phone ... so you always have the perfect resolution (no scaling)

I have been using my Samsung Captivate for some time now and recently I have been reading about this whole "root" thing.

I just rooted my phone but I was just wondering what there is to do on my phone now that it is rooted.

Such as can I download themes and do crazy s-hit like that or do I need a SD card to do all this?

I am just looking for a little information or possibly a link to a place where people talk about what apps they like on there Samsung Captivate.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSilverStig:
So I have a hardware 002 evo, and I just checked and found out I don't have any rsa keys. This isn't the end of the world because I don't have 4g in my area. I was wondering what could have caused this problem? I thought it was only new evo's that could get this? My sisters hw 004 evo is fine, and I rooted the same way. Could it have been a recovery I flashed? Also, is there anything I can do to get them back? As far as I know (a quick search on here) you're sol unless you get a new phone. That's probably what I would do if I ever get 4g in my area (goddamnit). Any (helpful) comments would be appreciated :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakeboys:
I've had it happen to me when I've been flashing many roms and all of the sudden they are gone. Question: Did you use amon ra recovery? If so you can back up your wimax rsa keys. Or plug your phone in goto sdcard>nandroid>pick a previous backup and then look for a wimax.img, that should contain your rsa keys. You could copy that from a previous nandroid and paste them in a newer backup and re-restore. Hope that helps... If you do not have a wimax.img file then yes you could have possibly lost your rsa keys, best thing is to unroot and return it to sprint and they should swap it out. Best of luck, your welcome. ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSilverStig:
Yea I don't know for how long my keys have been gone so I'm going to try the backup restore but my guess is that they have been gone for a while.

What recovery were you using if I may ask
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSilverStig:
I've used clockwork and amon ra, but I stray towards clockwork. I like the functionality with rom manager. I think if I manage to get a new evo I will switch to amon ra. I still don't think it was the recovery, I remember screwing up a radio flash and pulling my battery in the middle of it which is probably what did it.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
yea the most common way to screw up RSA keys is incorrectly or failed radio flashes. this will take them out most of the time. your lucky yuo didnt brick the phone at least. I have heard a ton of stories of people pulling battery during radio and that being all she wrote.

I believe clockwork now backs up wimax as well. this may not be of much help as it is a relatively newer additon to both recoverys i believe. yuor best bet may be to go to your oldest back up containing a wimax image and try restoring it. if still a no go then you are hurting.

Sprint may or may not help you depending on if they are dicks and can tell if you rooted or not. I wish you luck man
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjhuffer:
The problem is when I receive text messages from any network, the time stamp is messed up and shows up two minutes in the future (see picture below). I have done a complete hard reset about five times, tried all different software updates, went completely back to stock (unrooted), tried AOSP roms, tried Gingerbread roms, tried Sense roms with AOSP mms.apk, and whatever I try I cannot get rid of this bug. It causes all my text messages to be scrambled and not in order. I use this phone 90% of the time for texting. It's how I handle most of my business. I called Sprint and ended up getting up to their advanced tech support where they simply did a provisioning reset (completely unactivated and activated again) and after that they said there is nothing they can do. So I took it into the remedial Sprint tech in my local Sprint store (don't have enough time to travel 2 hours to get to a corporate store), and they did another master hard reset where they completely reloaded the software (I guess). Still not fixed. I am outside of my 30 days so i cannot do a swap. I cannot send my phone in to HTC because I simply cannot live without a phone for 2 weeks, and I don't have a backup. I've done all types of searching on google and the only thing I could find was about 6 months ago people were having this problem but the times were delayed by an hour or two. The texts are not delayed they show up on time, they just have the wrong time stamp. It has to be something with the network and not the software. My immediate suspicion is that is has something to do with my MMS provisioning to the network but I really don't know how to look into this.

This is probably one of the weirdest problems you will ever see. The picture at the bottom shows the right time in the corner but look at the time on my last incoming text. Off by two minutes in the future. Can anybody offer my some advice I am up for anything. I can also post or send anybody anything. I need this fixed but I just can't deal with Sprint anymore. I realized they are a business but if they support a faulty product, they should fix it without taking anything away from their customers. I always feel like Sprint is trying to take something away from their customers. Oh also one of the Sprint techs said the EVo would not get an official gingerbread update because Sprint wants to push other phones.........most likely a fib but who knows....sounds like Sprint and HTC. Anyways
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Just a thought, what if those texts really are coming from the future? I mean for all you know you are caught in some sort of weird time vortex thing that distorts your perception of time, making it seem like you are in the present when actually you are two minutes behind everybody else. That would make any text coming in to you be from 2 minutes in the future. I know this sounds far fetched but I wouldn't discount it as a possibility.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
This is a bug in android. Search the market for sms time fix and see if that helps.

Usually it's off by hours and not minutes though. There is also a setting somewhere that will let you use the local time instead of network time but I don't remember where it is at. You could also try disabling roaming, I keep mine locked to Sprint's network and never lose a signal.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjhuffer:
I tired gingerbread....and the funny thing is this only happens to some phones because my roomate has an evo right now and it does not do any of this....so it is not a problem with android......it has to be the Sprint servers or something. I'm on fully stock right now (no root). I tired gingerbread (CM7) and it didn't help anything. I'm taking my phone back into Sprint today but this time I'm going to give them hell. I payed 350 dollars for this phone I will not settle for "Oh, well we can't do anything about it." You shouldn't have to install anything extra on your phone. I tried that SMS fix but the funny thing is, it messes everything up because my Sprint texts are fine but my verizon and att are all futuristic. And no I am not in some weird wormhole or time continuum the phone is just messed up. It happens with electronics but there is usually this thing called a warranty that allows for direct replacement and for some reason cell phone companies have avoided this whole customer based process. I'll get back in about an hour.

Alright went to my local Sprint Repair Center and they could do absolutely nothing. However I did have the manager push through a priority claim ticket to the network engineers and hopefully, and I do mean hopefully, they call me back. Apparently the last few times I've called they told me they started a ticket, and actually didn't. I think they think I was telling them a lie or something. The manager there was actually extremely helpful and told me he would make sure I get a new phone if this doesn't work. If anybody has any other suggestions please let me know.
