[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexcpn:
Thanks, but I have not used Chinese sbf, regular CM7.2 for my defy ( green lens); With macguyver I got the defy charged up, it boots up and all; Only problem is that anything with the usb is not working, neither charging, nor recognizing ( by RSdLite, Motorola Media link, or Windows). I have been using CM7.2 for months without any problem; Also after charging via macguyver I tried re installing to old backed up Motodefy ROM, and also reinstalled CM7, as I said evertthing works except anything connected to USB, tried also different computers , uninstalled medialink, re-installed RSDLite all the works

will try some more; Any hints links welcome. Thanks

Hi All,

Its been 3 days now that I moved to the DHD from the Desire and my gmail notification is not working at all, even when I open up gmail, it does not automatically refresh the inbox not until I manually refresh the inbox will I see new messages. This is very annoying, I ve checked gmail's setting and ticked the box show notification in status bar when new messages arrives but still nothing, I ve done a restart to no effect.

Please advise.

Thank in advance

NB: Am using Rooted S-Radio Off unbranded sim free DHD

So In Settings > Accounts an Sync > Google everything is set to sync correct??

Have you enabled mobile data, set your syncing of that to say every 30 mins as opposed to an hour or so yes?
[Desire HD General] saayinla:
I have done everything and still yet, its not syncing, I tried uninstalling completely but I can only uninstall the updates and I reapplied the updates again to no avail....

I have mobile data enabled. I have yahoomail app installed and I get notification from yahoomail as soon as I have one but its not happening for gmail and it was working fine on my previous desire.

Have you tried wiping the phone (via ClockWorkMod Recovery) and then installing your ROM and starting from fresh??
[Desire HD General] saayinla:
I am using stock rom at the moment, when you said reinstalling the ROM, you mean install from HTC site?
[Desire HD General] darkenedhammer:
That's interesting,, prey tell what apps do you have installed??

reason for asking is I was on stock (admittedly for all of one day,, half a day,, ok 25 minutes) but my gmail notification was working as normal and without issue

Thanks for that, I am trying to download this and flash via ROM Manager RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.exe

On a different note what rom are you on? I ll love to flash a custom rom. I have heard a lot about HD revolution and CM7 (Not sure which to flash).

I ll love to know which will be the best to flash. Thanks
[Desire HD General] darkenedhammer:
TBH I dont know what the best ROM to flash to is I just grabbed the 1st one I saw being LeeDroid 1.5.0 (now 1.5.1)

I remember LeeDroids releases back in my origional Desire days and loved them so thats what I chose

as for flashing,, thats a .exe not a .zip :confused:
[Desire HD General] saayinla:
Yeah, I know the RUU will have to be run on the PC then I ll connect my phone, I know I cant do it via Rom manager.
[Desire HD General] darkenedhammer:
Well since your rooted, try flashing with a custom ROM, poúr éxamplé LeeDroids, and see what happens...

Make a Nandroid backup of your phone in its current state as you can always just flash back to that if need be

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmbenham:
Which ROM is the best for the Captivate?

I have been running Assonance 5.2 since I rooted, but have recently been looking for something more. I have heard good things about Paragon and di11is ROM. I need full GPS functionality so ROMs without it are a dealbreaker.

Let the discussion begin.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSMI:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pinepig:
I've found the same, big fan of Firefly right now, I used the firebird kernal with ADW launcher. It's about the best my phone has ever run.

The reality is that they all work a bit different on different phones, your going to have to experiment with a few to find the one that makes your phone happy. I understand how this seems strange, they should all be identical ( it's the same hardware right? ) but it's not so, for some reason they behave differently.

Good luck finding the combo for yours.

Andromeda is really great. Can't say enough about it. turned my cappy into what I thought it would be when I bought it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennonk:
Yeah I'm a big Andromeda fan too. I also like Perception with the latest Speedmod kernel. I was running Paragon RC3 and got amazing battery life from it but overall it was kind of choppy and not as smooth as Andro and Perception/Speedmod. If I was going on a long trip I would flash Paragon and pop in my 3000mA battery. But as my daily driver I like Perception and Andromeda.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MexicanAmerican:
Keep coming back to Cognition 3.02. Just flashed Firebird Kernel because I wanted to enable HSUPA and Voodoo Sound. Went though I9000 JL3, JK4, and JK3 modems. In call volume on most I9000 modems are pretty low, but that can be fixed. However, I was having GPS problems with every modem I flashed, BUT, I came across the KP1 modem and it's working very well. Good call volume without tweaks, GPS lock in 10 to 15 seconds (within 10 to 15 meters accuracy), and solid upload/download (~1500 - 1700 kbps download / ~12000 kbps upload)

My phone really doesn't seem to like I9000 ROMS, though, and I've tried mostly all of them. Serendipity seemed to run the smoothest, but I didn't get good GPS performance so I went back to Cog 3.02, but that was before I came across the KP1 modem. I'll probably give Serendipity another try with the KP1 modem before too long.

Just like everyone says, it's all up to personal preference. I've had my Captivate for six weeks or so, and I'm starting to find out that the ROMs offered by the great developers who post on XDA are fantastic in and of themselves, but they can also be great starting points for you to find out what works on your personal device. Different kernels which support certain lagfixes, video and sound enhancements, and different modems are available so that each individual can find out what combination of ROM/Kernel/Modem works for them.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bay_wolf:
I haven't had my Captivate very long but I've flashed Cognition, Andromeda, and Serendipity already. The best so far for me in speed stability and appearance has been Serendipity. Just my opinion as everyones Captivate is different.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espina936:
Serendipity bar none!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfs_phone:
>>In call volume on most I9000 modems are pretty low, but that can be fixed.

How? By switching to a different modem, or what?

It would be nice if there were a chart that listed modems and kernals, showing the features in each and their compatibility with each other.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ags on board:
I personally have had a few problems with a lot of different roms, and I always tend to come back to cognition. But hey, whatever floats your boat man. Read through the rom threads, and see which one has the features you're looking for, and do a little more research into that if you feel its necessary.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MexicanAmerican:
Regarding earpiece volume, view this thread. Most I9000 modems are set at 88 for earpiece volume.

if GPS is your dealbreaker, then your problem won't be the Roms, as they are not the biggest factor by far in GPS functionality. Take a look at the modems instead and find one that suits you.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEscapist:
Serendipity is my favourite non-aosp rom, I found it really good when I was using it. Plus, the dev is pretty awesome. Right now, I'm always either on CM7 or stock JL1.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkatforum:
CM7? As in gingerbread?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beryxil:
I have had my phone for 2 weeks, and I have flashed probably over 40 times. I finally broke down and made a spreadsheet of features that are important to me. The one thing I haven't done is swapped out kernels or modems. I have basically just used the ROM as the developer packaged. And, this is the perfect opportunity to shout out a big THANKS for all their hard work and time invested.

The features that I am tracking are:

Home Haptic Button (this really isn't an issue anymore as all seem to have this now)

MMS style (I like the bubbles :o) Importance: HIGH

Responsiveness (I am not a speed freak so they are all fast to me)

Gallery Responsiveness

Lock Screen Audio Controls (no of them seem to have this)

BT Audio Playback (So far they are all choppy, but I am willing to accept it might be my headphones (Motorola S9))

Alert Notify on Calendar Importance: HIGH

Front Facing Camera button (This one is a deal breaker for me)

Battery Life

Accurate Battery Display Importance: HIGH

Gingerbread keyboard language file (this isn't a deal breaker but I like to have it)

So I basically ran each ROM through my list of features and the ones that fit the best are: FireFly 2.05 (I did have to add the status bar clock back ;)) and Gingerborg 9.1.4.

Here is my list in order and why:

FireFly 2.05 (with status bar clock ;))

Gingerborg 9.1.4

Paragon RC4 (My battery life wasn't very good)

Andromeda 1 & 2 (the battery indicator on 2 didn't seem accurate, and no calendar alert)

Phoenix 4.1 (MMS is the version that I don't like (no bubbles :o)

Cognition 3.04 (no calendar alert and it doesn't have the Gingerbread keyboard)

Serendipity 5 (MMS is the version that I don't like and no calendar alert. However, it does have the Gingerbread keyboard language file.)

The rest of the ones I tested had the front facing camera button and that was a deal breaker for me. They are great ROMs but I prefer to not have that button. And that is in nowise indicating any disrespect to the ROM or developer. I'm just kinda weird that way.

ROMs I tested that had the front facing camera:

Darky 8.1 ( I couldn't get 9.02 to work)

di11igaf 5.3

Perceiption 10.3

Continuum 2

I just listed the most recent versions, but I tested many of the previous versions.

Again, I just want to say thanks to all of the developers I have nothing but the utmost respect for you.

Hopefully this helps someone...

I went through Cog, Ultimate, and now I stopped with Perception 10.2

It uses a nice overlay, alot like Touchwiz, but with an added button on the bottom. Also a big thing for me is, in Perception, your text messages don't show in the Call Logs tab or the History tab. Did see that Ultimate was just updated and I might give that a shot later.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dupontrocks11:
For the past couple of weeks I' ve been experimenting on battery life under heavy use of the phone. You're and time again, Ultimate far exceeds others in battery life, which is something that really matters to me. GPS its decent, but I only tried it out on a cloudy night, so that's not true results but as for the battery, 30+ hours of light use and 18 hours of heavy use. But with any rom, I always use speedmod. In the end it's your decision and experience but like diablo said, results speak!
