unread email count

A quick search of the forums didn't turn up much discussion, so I'll throw this out there:

on DL30 leak, the general email icon would increment and not decrement or clear until mail was manipulated on the phone. In other words, if it said 3 unread messages and I used Outlook (or the mail provider's web mail) to deal with them, it would sync and accurately display the message state in the list of emails - but the email icon on the home screen would still show 3. If 3 more came in and again they were dealt with elsewhere, the icon would go to 6. Only if action was taken on the phone itself would the counter "get real".

On Blackhole 4.x and SuperClean 2.x (any custom EB01 ROM?), the email icon on the home screen doesn't show an unread count (fine by me, I don't miss it), but when you pull down the notification bar, the unread count there acts exactly the same way.

Anyone else experiencing this? Devs, can it be fixed?

Did you clear your cache and davlik? I had some issues(when I closed an app none of my apps would show up and overall everything was running really slow). However when I was on superclean 2.6 I cleared my cache and davlik(for the first time) before I upgraded to superclean 2.8 and overall everything is working no problems.

Pandora used to be great and reliable and for the past few weeks it stops playing songs and skips whenever it wants. I have not done the latest update based off of reviews. Does anyone else have this issue and can anyone suggest a similar app?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Kaik541:
yeah, Pandora has been messy as of late (really disappointing to be honest), but there's an alternative app that isn't as "streamlined" in my opinion called "Slacker Radio" which I've tried that doesn't seem to have this issue. But I personally think the interface is poorly designed and not as good a selection in my tastes.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] davwman:
When it works, it works fine. Maybe its there way of getting you to purchase pandora but at this rate if this is how they are going after android users, well then screw them! It works perfectly on my wifes iphone.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] s1l3nt:
i like tunein radio probably the one that works the best
[Captivate Themes and Apps] davwman:
Does it have good randomization?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thegodfather156:
Why don't you just put music on your phone and randomize that. Pandora and other radio stations personally are a waste of data. Your phone has plenty of space.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Enhanced:
Because most people use internet radio to listen to and discover new songs that they couldn't other wise. The fact that these services allow users to recommend/promote/demote songs in order for a user preference to be generated is a significant feature for these services.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thegodfather156:
Good point my friend.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] praramis:

[Captivate Themes and Apps] SeanHacker:

Slacker is good for things like listening to comedy routines, its great for long road trips. I prefer pandora for finding new music or hearing a random playlist of songs I love but haven't heard in a long time. I've used pandora for years, I have faith in their devs, they'll fix whatever problems arise. Don't give up!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ryude:
Pandora has been really crappy so I switched to slacker, it's been pretty good so far.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] psloan:
pandora just released an update today.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] insaneturbo13:
im suprised more people dont use last.fm, works pretty well, i usually use pandora, but i too have issues with it every once in a while, and last.fm is a great alternative, and it actually will give you info about the bands that play as well as if they are on tour or not.. everyone who reads this thread should at least try it. if nothing else, just for the ability to look up bands info

happened to me too on my commute this morning...annoying since I had full 3g signal the entire drive. I have a Pandora One account too, so, even more frustrating having paid for their service.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] DumIam:
Just an FYI, two co-workers with iphone 4's are having the same issue with Pandora. They tried to show the superiority of all things Apple, and Pandora started skipping on them as well.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] davwman:
Its definitely been more reliable and fast since the update and haven't had any random skips in two days. I was going to buy the full version because it essentially is lime satellite radio without the commercials and cheaper. I like what they do over at pandora and hope they solve all the problems. But, like I said so far so good with the update.

I've been experiencing the same issue, however I have noticed on Wi-Fi it does not have this issue. Works perfectly. I have an iPhone 4 as well from work, and it suffers the same problem on 3g as the captivate does.

I dont have enough evidence to prove it yet, but AT&T has been jacking around (at least in Northern California) with their system trying to do capacity upgrades and things like that and what I can tell you is that the IP address used by the phone will randomly change for the last 2 weeks, whereas it was always the same prior to. That combined with random band changing (WCDMA 1900 Band 2 and WCDMA 850 Band 5) is causing all kinds of hell.. But from running a logger using an home grown script to connect to my home server, the IP changes alot, which will BREAK the connection to pandora causing re-authentication mid stream, causing a song skip.

(As a side note, using rat control to lock the phone to WCDMA 850 stopped the issue for me completely)

These are just MY findings, and may not hold any water anywhere else other than northern CA.

I use pandora almost constantly on my phone so I've been in the soup.. As to it being a data waste, I'm unlimited so I dont frankly care and enjoy driving my data up as high as i can get it just for the fun of it knowing AT&T isnt getting that huge amount of money theyd get if I was on the current plan and used 42GB of data a month.. HAR HAR.
[G Tablet General] grimloktt:
Does choosing "back up data w/ my Google Account" conflict with Droid Phone?

Hello. I think this is my first post on these boards. You guys are awesome, have tons of information, and through reading your posts, have convinced me to purchase/mod the Viewsonic G Tablet. I purchased is last night, installed a ROM and am now being prompted whether I'd like to "Back up data with my Google Account?"

I like this feature with my phone. After flashing a new ROM, all my applications re-populate; however, I wonder if I choose this option here, will my phone and tablet have to be the same for this back up option to work or will there be two "clouds" if you will--one for each device? I could forego the use of backup here and use Titanium back up. Thoughts?

Thank you!
[G Tablet General] TeutonicWolf:
You know, I've seen that option and I've played around with having it checked and unchecked and (for me at least) it doesn't seem to make any difference...

I think the only thing it does (if anything) is allow Google to store which apps you have downloaded previously via the Market.

I wouldn't trust it for much -- use a combination of Titanium Backup and Nandroid and you'll be much happier...
[General Questions and Answers] essyg:
Hi, I am new to all of this, but Im a quick learner. I rooted my phone and have superuser permission. I have installed multiple applications that will help me to perform ROM installs all of which still do not help. I even tried the three button solution, however I am still getting the same message when I go into recovery mode. It is as follows: E: failed to varify whole-file signature then under that I get: E: signature verification failed, instalation aborted.

I tried applying sdcard update. zip, wiped out cache partition, factory reset, etc...

I have tried everything. I tried using Mod Manager, I get the downloads but then when i try to install after I make sure to click backup rom and clear cache, it boots to the rom screen, (not really sure what you guys call it, sorry) and I get that same message, the signature failed, et...

my phone info is as follows: SCH-I500, I500 Commercial Package_DL9 To EA28 (I think verizon automaticly updated for the emergency dial) code 200

hardware version i500.04 firmware version 2.1update.1, baseband version S:i500.04 V.EA28, kernel version 2.6.29 and last but not least build number SCH-I500.EA28

Now saying all of that, I tried all of the above steps prior to this automatic update and it still did not work. I still received the signature message.

I even tried Voodoo, as well as DL30, Superclean, none of which will pass the signature autentacation. I want to try to get past this as I am having my phone replaced due to burn in and want to get the steps right so I do not BRICK my phone after it has been replaced. If this one bricks, it wont matter to much because I will have the new one on Monday.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love this tecky stuff and want to be knowagable on how to get past this message so I can go full force on Monday.

Thanks,

If o.k. I will post what I did and that way new users will be able to follow directions. I am a newbe but have become addicted to this stuff. THANKS!!
[General Questions and Answers] essyg:
now I bricked my phone... lol

Now let me start by saying I loved 2.2, no problems with it at all. but when battery ran out I wanted to clean stats in cwm green and the screen would not come up, sd would not mount any how I tried to start over, flashing oden, all the steps, but my drivers will not stay for some reason after flashing I need to uninstall the reinstall drivers or they are not recognized, really sucks, any how I got frustrated so while in odin I pulled the plug, lol literally, and now have a pic of a "phone" then ".." then triangle with (like my icon here)"!" then ".." picture of "computer". I called verizon and there sending me yet another phone. lol my question is, will they be able to unlock it and see that I had 2.2 on it? does anyone know what they do with the phones we send back? Basicly I want to know if they can unlock that being I can't. and if so, will they see the 2.2? Any sugestions?:o
[General Questions and Answers] essyg:
Anyone there?

Any one there? Also I am debating, do I wait for official release. I heard it was coming out 2/22/11. If I put dl30 on new phone again and they release the update, will I still get the automatic update via verizon? If so will I lose root? Any comments on post #5? I can't believe I had it running I totally messed it up. Thank goodness when I called verizon I got two girls at tec support, lol while I am a girl, I am a tech lover, I acted like I had no idea what happened, well they didn't either, lol So just waiting on new phone to come in, yet again so I am getting everything ready to quickly install dl30 to new phone again. Hopefully I do not lose drivers again, as it seems that once I flash in odin, the hardware icon disappers as if drivers are not installed. any how, I was just wondering if anyone had an answer to post #5 so that when I return the phone, I am not caught, lol that would really stink! Plus I am board, took off of work because my kids are sick and now I have a bad cold also, so any comments would be great!! Besides I need to be here to sign for new phone.

Thanks,

[General Questions and Answers] mishooo:
Ok I guess someone must have the same problem.

First of all it is important to say that this happens when you are using original android version not the htc builds and stuff.

So the thing is when I join (by hand or automatic) contact from any network like facebook or last.fm with my phonebook contact it changes the display name as it is on the website (not the actual name just the displayed one). So how can I change that - i want it to display the names I`ve entered.

And the other thing - if i link someone with facebook and the phone number on my phone is lets say +44XXXXX and on facebook this person has the same number facebook is removing the + and the phone stays like 44XXXXX and i cant call them :( anyone any idea why is that
[General Questions and Answers] men$hoot:
got the same problem,,,i switch to off the facebook sync to my phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wielo1:

Well i did it this way and it went well but i switcht from Lee droid to DcMV

and the phone runs well

sorry for OT , but what is DcMV?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goodm7sn:
guess all what u've written is correct since u made some good readings with the guides on xda dhd forum.

a few points might help u , well since i rooted my DHD 3 days ago :)

-always downgrade to 1.32 (which u already have)

-temp then perm root with visionary

-before installing the custom rom u chose , try to find the appropriate radio for it and flash that radio BEFORE flashing the custom rom (flash with with stock rom) to avoid incompatibility errors with the awesome S-OFF tools :)

-always make Nandroid backups (with CWM) before flashing stuff so u can return to your original point

-use titanium backup, as far as i know its the best featured backup app avaliable now (backups : apps+apps data + system apps and data).it will save u lots of time restoring stuff.

-follow the guides "litterally" and there is no need to rush ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diamondback:
Wow... A new user who knows how to read! =)

You should post this as a tutorial ;)

There shouldn't be any problems with that.

Gaining ENG S-OFF can brick your device, so be careful at this stage. You're flashing hboot and with a faulty hboot your DHD is nothing but a paperweight.

But I never heard of bricked DHD, so don't worry ;)

Ah yeah, also flashing radio could brick your device.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briand77:
Thank you all for the feedback.

I forgot about titanium backup. Will come in handy to transfer some apps and their settings.

Goodm7sn, I don't quite understand what you are saying here.

"-before installing the custom rom u chose , try to find the appropriate radio for it and flash that radio BEFORE flashing the custom rom (flash with with stock rom) to avoid incompatibility errors with the awesome S-OFF tools"

What do you mean with "flash with stock rom"? I mean, why flash something that is already there? Also considering the fact that I don't have a stock rom file.

And what kind of compatibility errors are you referring to? I did some googling and the consensus seems to be that it doesn't matter if you flash radio or rom first.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelkwc:
Your steps were nicely arranged and helped me to doublecheck my own steps. Now happy owner of a rooted LeeDroid 1.5.1, in part thanks to you. Suggest that you consider tweaking this into a short tutorial as it could help other newbies too. Cheers!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goodm7sn:
think yeah i made some confusion there, my bad . what i was trying to say is exactly what happened to me when i was rooting and doing the the other stuff . stock htc rom v1.32 has an old radio and the one that came with v1.72 is newer and more recommended with many other custom roms like leedroid and android revolution hd.

in my case , i installed a custom rom (android revolution HD 2.0.9) and noticed my radio version was the old one and not the one recommended,and since i only had only radio s-off , i ran the ENG S-OFF tool to install the new radio, there the tool displayed errors of rom/kernel incompatibity and i was forced to restore my htc rom v 1.32 where ENG S-OFF was succecfull only then. new radio flashing went smooth as well.

the point is, if u want full freedom and functionality of tools and mods then dont do only radio s-off but do both radio s-off and eng s-off (using the tools) then u r free to flash anything from roms , radios to kernels :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briand77:
Ah, that makes sense. But I got both those locks covered right after root.

Once I get access to using links in the post I will polish it and add my own experiences. I am probably not the only noob scared of messing up, so the more detailed the guide the better. Just hope I get some time in the coming days to upgrade the phone. Making notes on the go will slow it down, but I am not in a hurry. Slow and steady wins the race.

And now it's time for the superbowl.

Have just spent the day reading up and trying to figure out how to get my brand new HD sorted.

Its locked to Orange and has the branded firmware. I want it nice and clean, and unlocked (as I need to use an o2 sim card).

Heres the info from my software info page...

Android version - 2.2

Baseband version - 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02_M

Kernel version - 2.6.32-gf3f553d

Thu Oct 28

Build number - 1.40.61.2 CL284185 release keys

Software number - 1.40.61.2

Browser version - Webkit 3.1

Do I literally just follow the steps in your original post? Will this unlock it? And, can I make a backup of the phone firmware as it is now in case I need to restore it?

Thanks for your help. Like I say, have spent hours reading and am getting myself confused. First time with Android.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briand77:
Well if I am not mistaken the radio s-off tool will remove the simlock. And from what I understand this should work with your software version. With the nandroid backup you should be able to restore your phone, but if you are thinking about warranty; I am pretty sure techies will be able to see what you did. If it is absolutely vital you can restore everything you might want to ask in the threads of the developers.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKaptone:
thanks for the guide briand77, just want to clarify something before i do it , after you run visionary and do the temproot the permroot now is that when you use titainium backup before you do the rest of your steps .

Also he main reason I want to do this is because I want to increase the battery life is that reason enough do you think
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briand77:
Correct. Backup after you achieved root but before modifying stuff.

As for battery life: I didn't really notice a major improvement over stock. While on stock I performed the charging sequence to improve it and that did help a lot.

Leedroid's new kernel 2.0.5 is supposed to be great for battery life but I have not installed that yet I'll wait to see if bugs appear first :-). If you want to install a new kernel just use step 21 in my guide. No need to wipe or anything.

Radio versions can also have a serious impact on battery life. But that is a trial and error thing since it depends on your location and such.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superdon:

very detailed guide there for noobs like me. but i like to know if i want to use Titanium Backup to backup my stock rom n i want to flash my rom to Revolution HD, how do i do it?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briand77:
@Kaptone. Once you are rooted and have ENG S-OFF (engineering security off) you can do pretty much everything you want. Be careful though. Deleting things can mess stuff up pretty bad. Don't delete unless you really know what it is you are deleting. And custom roms are pretty clean to start with.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briand77:
TiBackup is only used to backup data, apps and settings. The real safetynet is the "nandroid" backup (step 14), which is sort of like a system image.

I recently read posts about problems with the latest CWM Recovery (the actual backup program) so it might be a good idea to check that out. After all, what is the use of a bad backup? :-)

It doesn't matter which ROM you want to use. The procedure is the same. The only thing that might differ is the recommended Radio.
