[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iphonoid:
Sorry didn't put that forgot (when I flashed mine I was fiddling with chmod on adb and I think it meant I didn't have to do it in fastboot) well done though! Macs are a ***** to understand..but then very easy:)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxyz:
Hey all, just got my Captivate 2 weeks ago and successfully rooted and flashed with custom ROM following the directions on all the posts here. Last night, while attempting to switch from Paragon 3.0 to Phoenix 4.0, installation was aborted. After several unsuccessful recovery attempts through CWM, I finally followed directions and used Odin-one-click. Odin did its thing and phone rebooted immediately and got stuck in a loop.

ATT screen flashes on and off when phone is powered on. When plugged into PC, phone flashes empty battery and computer does not see the phone. I've tried just about every button combination I've come across and about every permutation of button/battery/USB/Odin combination on the PC to no avail.

Is my last resort the USB jig? Or are there other options? Any and all help would be appreciated. And thank you to all of you whose posts I used to get me this far.

Patiently awaiting any assistance...... :o

[Desire HD General] nicolegiusy:
Save all, I'm a happy owner of the desire and the DHD, I am fine with both devices but I have a concern.

The 3G has a stated desire to 7.4 Mbps download and upload speed of 2Mbps, while 3G has a DHD declared in 14.4 Mbps download and upload speed of 5.76 Mbps and yet I desire to be stronger.:confused:

I state that both devices use the same operator and the exact same settings.

Usually reach the Desire 4Mbps and 3Mbps with DHD difficult to reach.

Does anyone know why and how to possibly fix?????
[Desire HD General] Foladko:
The DHD antenna is under the SIM cover, so avoid holding it there.
[Desire HD General] CitizenLee:
Could also be the radio on your Desire handles 3G better than the radio on your DHD.

Are either of them rooted / have the ability to flash new ROMs and radios?
[Desire HD General] nicolegiusy:
First of all, thank you both for your reply!!

Then, the test I did with 2 devices ruted, the Desire mounts the following radio 5.14.05.17 and DHD mounts 26.06.04.06_M both leaning on the table just to avoid covering the antenna with his hand and with the signal at most.

I also tried on several radio DHD but does not change anything, I just noticed that with the 26.06.04.06_M segmale is more stable and the battery lasts long.

I do not have big claims but at least I thought he went as Desire, not least .......:(

Ok, I flashed the 318 version and it is freakin pumpin!!!! My quadrant is 1900 to 2000 consistantly! You guys rock. I will donate for sure!!!

My question is this, I noticed that my kernel version is now 2.6.32.9-DJ_Steve-BFS-BFQ-OC-VOL. I am assuming that OC is overclock and Vol is volume Mod.. Am I correct? Also, what does BFS and BFQ stand for? I took advantage of the over clock by using setcpu, but how do I take advantage of the volume mod? Is there an app I need? Thanks

[HTC Aria General] Essenar:
I'm trying to get a phone for my girlfriend. I've been looking at iPhone 3GS but it's hard to get a good deal on one (I'm buying used, no contract). The Aria is the more budget-friendly Android device from AT&T but it's also made by HTC.

So, that being said:

1) How high of an over-clock do you guys get with battery life/daily usage being concerned?

2) How smooth is the OS? I mean like, scrolling, home force closes and multi-tasking.

3) How is gaming on this? Has anyone played PSX4Droid on it or Crusade of Destiny or Hero of Sparta on this device?
[HTC Aria General] DanGeorges:
I haven't overclocked the phone - I don't see a need. Others have done so without a problem. There is a "sweet spot," so to speak - search "SetCPU" on this forum for more information. The Aria battery seems to be an issue, although with smart phones with touch screens, wifi, data, moderate/heavy use, batteries are being asked to do an awful lot these days...

The OS is very smooth (in my opinion) even with the Stock Sense UI, which I really like. The biggest issues with the stock at&t ROM are bloatware and the inability (for now) to move applications to the SD card (to save space on device memory). The scrolling is fast, switching apps works great, and Android Memory Management seems to do an adequate job. I have had the occasional force-close (not too often), but only with bad acting applications. I have CM running now, but when I had the Stock Sense ROM loaded - it was stable as a rock.

I have only played a couple of Sony SNES games using an emulator. They seemed just fine. I'm not a big gamer, so I can't say if the Aria is good for gaming.

The Aria is a great phone -

Great size (not freakishly huge) - fits into a pocket easily

Minimalist design

Excellent OS: stable and speedy. I haven't had it lock up yet - over a month's use.

I narrowed my upgrade choices to two phones:

Palm Pre

Aria

The Pre seemed a bit chunky (a lot thicker) and it was a bit laggy - I touched the e-mail icon and it slowly (albeit elegantly) started the e-mail application. The Pre has a lot to offer - great multi-tasking, hardware keyboard, and very nice screen. The Pre also is a Palm device (WebOS) and can run legacy Palm applications, if that's important to you (it was what originally drew me to that phone - I'm a Palm addict).

The Aria, in contrast, seems to launch applications much more quickly. It's also a much thinner phone, and easier to carry. It multi-tasks, but the switching isn't nearly as refined as the Pre's.

The decision is ultimately up to your girlfriend - Have her check the phones out and decide for herself. She may not be as into messing with the phone's OS as much as you are...Remember - she's the one who will be using it.
[HTC Aria General] matt_b:
1 - generally overclocked at 806 with no issues at all. can't tell a difference in battery drain after a days use oc'd or not oc'd.

2 - a lot of the smoothness depends on the launcher you're using. once you're rooted and running cm6/7, you can choose from any number of launcher (launcherpro, adw, zeam). i recently changed to zeam launcher and have been exceedingly happy with it.

3 - i play a lot of snes games (via gameboid) and notice no poor performance. i recently got dungeon defenders and its running just fine as well. casual games like angry birds and game dev story work great as well.

i would recommend this phone to anyone.
[HTC Aria General] winsettr:
I keep SetCPU set at 864 on demand and I have never had any stability problems and have really only gotten the phone unsettlingly warm when playing games, and due to on-demand scaling my battery life is the same if not better than stock. My only complaint about this phone (perhaps this is an individual case) is that the multitouch in games is terrible. Two player reactor/air hockey, games that require simultameous moving and jumping or shooting are often frustrating because both touches do not register correctly: the phone detects each touch, but continues to register after one finger has been removed. Unfortunately I have confirmed this with multiple sensor viewers and drawing apps, so it does not appear to be app specific. And again, this may be a problem that only my device is experiencing, but its important to keep in mind...
[HTC Aria General] madchild1:
Ive had the Aria for a week or so now. I picked mine up on Ebay as a backup phone as my Nexus1 is out to HTC for repairs. I have CM6 on both my phones, and when OC'd to 806, I really dont notice any difference between the Aria and Nexus' snapdragon in normal operations. Launching any app is faster, and a tiny bit smoother on the Nexus, but the Aria is not that bad.

Im actually really enjoying my Aria, as the smaller form factor is nice. Most phones are getting bigger, but my hope is that HTC packs a snapdragon into one of these little phones.

I've just downloaded the nightly of CM7 and gonna try that out.
[HTC Aria General] superman6143:
This is my first smartphone I got a real deal on like 40 bucks referbished. I've had it for a month and no problems. Its really quick even at normal clocked speed. The only time it ever slowed was when I was using a task killer took that off and its nvr worked better. In my opinion the aria is to small for games on most of the emulators the buttons take up most of the screen and multi touch isn't all that great. In my opinion I'd go with the aria over the iPhone Idk wat apples os is like but android is very promising its almost limitless
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrgraykillsyou:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipeench:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billfold:
OK, I searched, and all that I could find were thread posts about the initial rooting process, and installing your first ROM. I just want to confirm the steps that I would take to switch from Myns 2.2 RLS5 (currently running) to Cyanogen 6.1.2. These are just generic steps that I can think of.

1. Perform all backups...Titanium/MyBackup/Nandroid

2. Reboot --> Recovery --> Wipe

3. Install from SD

4. Select .zip file.

5. Enjoy life

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
Also, when you restore your apps from titanium backup, I have heard not to restore with data, just restore the app. Some developers tweak certain apps and restoring app data between ROMs isn't the best idea.

Oh, and if you don't use the format all zip, make sure when you wipe, you wipe data, cache and dalvik cache (and sd ext if you have a partitioned sd card).
