HI! Thanks for the reply but that i've tried already.

I don't have so many apps installed and the one i use in the internal is Alarm Clock Plus. All of the other apps are instaled in SD-ext but every new app uses some internal capacity. We can't make that data to be sent to Sd-ext? All of the app? Thanks!!

ShootMe, works great, once rooted. Either Temp-Rooted or Perma-Rooted.

DDMS works great for the non rooted.

DDMS is in the Android SDK download..

i have a large itunes and therefore cant fit all my music onto my sdcard, I've tried using AudioGalaxy but the major downfall is that you have to keep your pc on in order to listen on the go, is there any other apps which enable you to stream your library over 3g without having your home computer running all the time?

[Wildfire General] efcgenius:
Hi

As title suggests I may have a Wildfire on order, not yet had the despatched email so until then I cant be certain

I have had a TYTN II for quite some time 3 years or more, my main gripe with the Wildfire is the reviews are a bit mixed, some saying its a low end HTC others saying look no further!

The CPU goes from 400Mhz to 528Mhz which doesnt sound like a massive increase

also the screensize from 2.8" to 3.2" again only slightly bigger

The Android software I am not so keen although I will give it a wide birth an see if my opinion changes, I would rather have Mobile 7 because thats whats on my TYTN II now

So in a nutshell, am I getting a worthy upgrade or will I be disapointed

Please comment

Thanks
[Wildfire General] eagleofdeath13:
Hello,

I hope you'll like your little Wildfire, it's a pretty cool phone and Android is cool too, i love mine.

And some alternatives ROM make it quicker. Try it and you'll be pleased (and if the resolution seems too little for you try LCD Density, it make a good thing to that ^^)
[Wildfire General] Alex_GP:
If you like games, and heavy multimedia, like movies then go for another device.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Both are true. The Wildfire is a low end HTC Device, however, at the price, look no further. (Not 100% these days after the release of devices like Samsung Galaxy 3/5, LG Optimus One, ZTE Blade etc)

Personally, I think you will be disappointed, because, for it's time, the TyTN II was the top end device, and, now, at the beginning of the launch, the Wildfire is at the bottom of the Android lineup. However, as said by Alex, if you are not looking at heavy multimedia / gaming usage, it will do just fine.
[Wildfire General] Alex_GP:
As 3xeno said, in present times, there are better phones in the same or even lower price range, LG Optimus P500 is really popular here in my country, because it`s a better phone that the wildfire, but at only two thirds of the price.
[Wildfire General] nemuro:
It has more ram, and more mhz, however, no gpu. Even some 2d games will run very slow without overclocking.

I would go with Milestone, to keep the keyboard, or anything within your budget that has a gpu, more than 600 mhz and is htc or samsung.
[Wildfire General] Skye Menjou:
Windows Phone 7 is waaaaaaaaaay different then WM6.1.

It has way less freedom.

Android is the OS of the future.

It feels faster and more responsive then the Tytn 2.

It does not crash as much either.

Does not feature a Qwerty external keyboard but if you use Swype on your screen it is great!

I really recommend it for the price, but if you have the cash go for a Desire HD or even a legend.

But Low budget, Wildfire is very good.
[Captivate General] taman76:
Sorry yal for being such a newB. this is my very first post and after reading on here for a few weeks and keeping up with the whole Android community, I can see that if I am going to wait to get 2.2 on my Captivate from AT&T, I better be far more patient than I am. Just so tired of the thing lagging and hanging on email.

I am considering flashing Cog 3.04. These are my concerns.

I use my phone for business and this phone is my life. So with that here are my questions.

Will my exchange email work well after the flash?

Will my pop email also work properly after the flash?

Is the phone clear and the signal strong after this flash?

Will my BT device still work at least as good as it does today.

Does the whole device work that much better?

I did root the phone yesterday and it was scary. But I can follow directions well so I figure chances of success are pretty good if I do it.

Thanks everyone
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
Exchange email should work on any rom but there are some that report issues.

Signal will be the same or better

Bluetooth will work

Phone will be faster with some more features.

If your phone is that crucial to you I can not stress enough to understand what you are sound and how to recover before you move. It is easy, but there are allot of little things to learn
[Captivate General] mxracer101:
I have not used Cog so I can't really answer your questions as to that image, but I can recommend Continuum. The ROM seems to be very stable and works good. The answer to your questions above with Continuum are yes.
[Captivate General] taman76:
I would assume that Odin is all I need to get back?

Starting to get up nerve to do this.
[Captivate General] JoeMap:
Yes, you would use Odin to get back to stock.

It's ok to be very careful when flashing roms. I've used both Cognition and Perception roms and had great success.
[Captivate General] Tyggy:
As someone that's on ATT and has a captivate, I went through what you are going through. I use my phone for business a lot and had the same misgivings. I just did my first flash to a rom (Cognition as well) and can tell you a few things that I noticed.

1. Make sure you backup any pics, files u want to keep (music, videos and so forth). Use titanium backup to backup your apps and sms as well (I didnt backup my sms and lost them, but it wasn't a big deal lol)

2. After flashing to cog, I noticed how much faster the phone was. Call quality and bluetooth are same. Exchange works for me.

3. Picture messaging, you might have to set up a new APM..settings are on here or pm me for details.

4. Make sure your contacts dont have ( ) in them..mine did and the incoming calls weren't recognized and there was a issue too with texting I think. (Assuming your contacts are synced with gmail..if not, back up those too)

5. Only really bothersome thing is battery life..seems it drains battery more..I re-calibrated my battery stats last night though, so will see how it is today...

Otherwise..enjoy ;)

[Captivate General] taman76:
Thanks Tyggy. That is pretty much what I was hoping to hear.

All of my contacts and schedule information I sync using active sync on Exchange. I just about have enough info to give this a shot.

ademarne, I have read that thread. I already chose my ROM and would have posted any questions in the Cog thread, but I have less than 10 post and could not post in that forum.

[Captivate General] GAMacky:
As far as your exchange email goes, I highly recommend TouchDown by NitroDesk. It supports push notification from Exchange server directly. I often get exchange emails on my phone before I get them in Outlook on my desktop. Look for Exchange for Android 2.x in the market.

[Captivate General] matthewpapa:
Performance is really killer

But I have battery life problems, even with chef/user suggested optimizations

On stock I used to get a solid day. If battery life is important to you, dont switch
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
I get any where from 12-18 hrs of heavy use on my build. I am not sure what qualifies as a day, if I charge for like 1hr in the middle of the day I easily go from 5:30 am till midnight
[Captivate General] taman76:
Thanks everyone. I jumped in both feet. Flashed the phone and got her all setup again.

So far everything I use seems to work well. Which basically is email, web, and phone calls. Haven't setup the BT yet and will do that sometime today. I did a quick GPS check and it seemed to get a lock. but I have another GPS so that function really isn't important to me.

The only thing I notices was Haptic is a bit light when typing and the volume now doesn't have vibrate and then silent. But I can live with both of those things.

Battery seems to be draining a bit faster. A day for me is an easy 18 hours. But I also keep a charger with me in the car and in my offices. I will just make sure I keep things charged. Maybe get a spare battery for those times I can't charge.

Other than that, I say good job DG. The phone is much faster and it works now as I had hoped when I bought it.

By the way, anyone who is scared to do this, follow directions step by step. It was easy.
[Captivate General] taman76:
I use that on our office phones. Our company has the Motorola Droid and TouchDown works great on them.

I need to have 3 emails since I work 2 jobs, and having one box to check is one feature TouchDown can't offer me.

Also I did try using it on the stock Cappy and it still was very slow and laggy.

[Desire HD General] Lankius Maximus:
Mrjonnyrock,

Im on Vodafone UK and my phone arrived anbranded. Im currently on stock 1.72.405.3. I think the bloatware (Facebook, twitter etc) is actually HTC standard bloatware rather than Vodafone. I originally rooted using the one click method and removed all such software. You will need to follow the down grade threads to return to 1.32.405.6 to use such a method though but it isnt that easy.

Heed the warnings though as removing such software blocks HTC's OTA updates (I learnt that the hard way).

A programme like LauncherPro will enable you to hide unwanted apps from your app drawer. I know thats not permanent and they still exist in some alternative reality but if you are only going to root to remove those apps rather than run a custom rom it may be simpler and easier in the long run.

Just my opinion though.
[Desire HD General] mrjonnyrock:
thx, but i can not access any of those links.

There are a bunch of stupid demo games and other crap installed including vodafone 360, rubbish that i want to get off.

Why put this crap on a device? Its like the laptop OEMs, installing all the crap under the sun to make some extra cash. I am not offered my device for less money, but they get my money and money form advertisers.

WHEN THE BLOODY HELL WILL THESE PEOPLE LEARN. WE DON'T WANT YOUR CRAP SOFTWARE INSTALLED ON DEVICES THAT WE PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR. why must i have stuff installed on a device that i do not want with no way of getting it off the device. I pay for the device i should have the right to choose what i want on it and not be forced accept having the stuff forced on me.

i have had the phone for a day now and if i don't find a way of getting this crap off the phone without voiding my warranty, it will go back to vodafone.
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
Yeah you'll have to wait. The guy hit is bandwidth quote
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
Nope, flashing the phone with a different ROM is going to void your warranty, Vodafone put this crap on your phone as it makes them money, so it is there vested interest to insist that it stays put
[Desire HD General] mrjonnyrock:
i thought as much :( My original HTC Desire had to go back to HTC for repairs and this could take longer than a week. the phone did not really have much crap on it. i guess this because there is not much memory on the phone to install crap. I did not think that the Desire HD would come loaded with rubbish so did not even think about that.

Can i deal directly with HTC if there are any hardware issues with the phone? or would it have to go back via vodafone?
[Desire HD General] Mavican:
Vodafone have bad habits of doing this to people so this is hardly surprising. I got my DHD a couple weeks after release and theres no bloatware on it, but i had a feeling they were going to, so I got it early. But Google in their infinite wisdom said that 2.3/2.4 android will make things easier for mobile companies to brand the phones.
[Desire HD General] juno256:
i do understand the guy....

i have a desire which i bought via ebay and got it unlocked.

it does have some t mobile stuff...start up animation etc....

i was thinking of copying an official rom straight from htc to it...

the problem i have is this ...... which one :)

had the phone for 3 days only and haven't had time to play with it... it's not my first htc phone flashed others before... just need some direction :P
[Desire HD General] mrjonnyrock:
well i have just downloaded this one:

Anyone know what loading this would do to my uk vodafone Desire HD?
[Desire HD General] juno256:
well i had an orange hd phone before...

i had to run a root kit before being able to copy any other roms...

so you may have to check that before...

i still need some time before i flash it or maybe wait for gingerbread to come out... so that i do that only once :)

why don't u unload uninstall any vodafone stuff?
[Desire HD General] furrypotato:
I had my phone from Virgin Mobile. Luckily not too much bloatware on it.

I eneded up rooting it simply as I like using stock Android rather than HTC Sense, which is always a good reason to root.

So now I'm runnign CyanogenMod7 , which is Android 2.3, runnign overclocked to 1.5Ghz.

Fast like you would not believe !

And to be fair, once rooted you';ll probably get updates here faster than waiting for Vodafone to update it OTA !!
[Desire HD General] mrjonnyrock:
the uninstall option is greyed out. Stuff like Tower Bloxx NY Trail, Texas Hold'em, uno trial etc can not be removed. Also this vodafone 360 stuff is rubbish. Great i am with vodafone, but i will never use this stuff.

O and what if i was a recovering gambling addict vodafone? Or if gambling was something I did not want on my phone for religious reasons. This is the UK, looks like someone did not check with legal before sending out devices. :p

[Desire HD General] tomegranate:
Did you actually pay Vodafone for the phone, or was it free/discounted on contract?

If you paid full price for it... why not buy it unbranded e.g. from Carphone Warehouse?
[Desire HD General] nionlait:
Hi, i have same problem like you but the only difference is that my phone is brand vodafone spain,just purchased from ebay,and would love to unlock this htc desire hd and use any sim card on it,do you know some good step to unlock it,i will really appreciate the help,i am surfing around but the only web site that came explainin and talking about it is this one XDA-DEVELOPERS :

I know that this are not simple step to unlock a device but,i just hope some one will answer me asap hope to hear some one soon thanks to all.
[Desire HD General] mrjonnyrock:
well its a new contract so its not free. You get nothing for free.

By the time the contract it up i would have paid for it.

Discounted, don't make me laugh. Vodafone would not offer any device/service if they did not make money. They have a % of profit that they need to make on every contract.

Edit:

also, i am not really that unhappy with the vodafone branding or the 360 software. i will just not use it. Its a pain but i can live with that. The thing that is just not on is the installing of demo or trial software that can not be removed.
[Desire HD General] swgastro:
Thats the one I used to get rid of my 3UK bloatware. Its perfect.. fastboot really is fastboot now! No more splash/loading screens.. no more unwanted games and apps.

Am seriously thinking that it needs to be taken back to Vodafone.

The thing that is worrying me is that in say 12 months time Vodafone might not bother to update the device even if google/htc have an update for the phone.
[Desire HD General] turbo_d:
Hi, I had exactly the same issues, phone loaded with loads of Vodafone stuff i will never use slowing phone down.

With your software version at 1.75 you need to downgrade follow this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857537 this is to do the radio bypass the CID error but before doing this you need to follow the downgrade link in the post carefully. You could seriously brick your phone if you get anything wrong, linux commands are case sensitive, you also need to follow the guide to create a goldcard with this. Once you have downgraded rooted (admin rights) you should be able to run the radio tool which will give you Super CID (bypass CID error) allow you to flash anything. I killed my phone for 12 hours at this point but this was before the easy Radio tool. Do the Eng SOFF tool too. Once you have done this I would install Rom Manager from the market and do a full backup off the phone just incase. You will be at a state now where you can just run the RUU you downloaded.

The guides in the dev section are written much bettar than what i have put here,

Nutshell

GOLDCARD

DOWNGRADE

RADIO SOFF

ENG SOFF

DO what you want

I would start off with just the stock RUU for now, until you get more comfertable flashing roms (if you want to do that)

Read the Development forums they are great the people their have taken a lot of time and effort with these guides.

You will need to get hold of the vodafone ROM backup incase you ever need to send the phone back one day, i found a copy on a german site somewhere, that someone else had made from backup it works fine though and will OTA fine, i checked. I will dig the link out and post here for you.

[Desire HD General] swgastro:
You will need to follow the downgrade thread on these forums. Luckily for me, 3 havnt even released 2.2.1 yet so my unbranding was easy =)

[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
Well if it's any comfort they have just upgraded the Magic to froyo, so updates are coming but about 6-8 months behind the google releases, to be fair it probably takes them that long to get the bloatware and crap running properly. if you want updates ditch the vodafone roms and install a custom rom, I'm running cm7 Nightlies so have the gingerbread vodafone will update to some time after I've grabbed honeycomb no doubt
[Desire HD General] turbo_d:

[Desire HD General] mrjonnyrock:
well i am having issues with the goldcard.

1st time i did it it worked but i got this error

- "CID mismatch/CID incorrect"? Your device is branded. Just make a Goldcard, put the PD98IMG.zip to the card again and go to the bootloader.

i then did the goldcard thing again, and now keep getting this error

- "Error opening backup file"? You did not use "Charge only" -connection, or your SD card is faulty.
[Desire HD General] turbo_d:
umm, are u using the sd card that came with the phone. I backed mine up then used the goldcard guide. Also when you connect the phone did u make sure you selected charge only? After copying zip to sdcard, disconnect usb and reconect and select charge only. Or when you reboot to bootloader just disconnect USB.
[Desire HD General] mrjonnyrock:
i was using a spare 4GB card but it was not working. I ended up using the 8GB card that come with the phone and that worked. So all vodafone rubbish is off the phone now :D:D

i am now running 2.2 and OTA is not picking up updates, the 2.2.1 update. I dont know if this is a good or bad thing :)

i did try and root the phone, using VISIONary, and install clockwork mod. I only want to do this so that i can OC the CPU and create backups. But it did not work so well.

The phone has (RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.exe) installed and is working well.

That vodafone rubbish really slows down the phone. Its much faster even with RUU than with the vodafone one.
[Desire HD General] AWBob:
Hi,

I have a branded Orange D HD and I was wondering if I installed the ROM mentioned above (RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_2 6.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.exe) onto the device, will it still have the HTC Sense UI? The reason I ask is because I'm a noob and I read somewhere that someone installed a different ROM because he preferred it without the Sense UI.

Thanks.
