[Nook Color General] dvanburen:
It's invariably the USB Debugging disabling itself. I've had it happen twice and both times it has been the cause. I'm pretty sure the second time was due to the 1.1 upgrade (flashed using the zip in the dev forum).

IMHO Button Savior is the app to use. It's much less intrusive than soft keys and works everywhere (when USB Debugging is enabled of course :P)
[Nook Color General] daemonfly:
Button Savior needs both USB debugging on, and device being rooted in order to function properly(and, of course, being allowed in superuser). I've seen mention of people having issue with usb debugging turning off randomly or with restarts. Once that is fixed, there shouldn't be any problems. My SD build once also lost root for some reason, but that seemed to be rare (prob due to me messing with /system files).

I tried flashing the JM6 firmware on my Galaxy Tab which failed. Now i cant do anything at all with it.

Tried flashing stock fw, i tried the "everything you need"-fw.

I can get it out of the "phone ..!.. pc" mode by using the pit-file that came with "Everything you need"-package.

But nothing more.

Are there any fixes for this?

I tried this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=895827

[HD2 General] AzizOnDeck:
I broke my phone recently and the touch screen is no longer working. I was wondering if there was a way to control my phone via PC w/o active sync. Or if there was a way to enable active sync on my phone some other way as I'm not able to control my phone.
[HD2 General] Archer:
You don't need to activate ActiveSync on the phone - it just runs.

If it doesn't connect via ActiveSync when you connect it to the PC then you may be out of luck, but it's likely to be your PC that has an issue, not your phone.
[HD2 General] AzizOnDeck:
As of right now when pluuged in via usb my phone is recognized as a storage drive instead. And it gives me the option for active sync but I'm not able to change it. :(
[HD2 General] Archer:
Ah right - it's set to default to USB on your phone then. That's a bugger, as you can't change it without using the screen.

You could flash another ROM, which would then have ActiveSync as the default USB connection type, but you would obviously lose all your data and apps.

You're obviously gonna have to get the phone fixed or replaced in the long-run. Is that out of the question at the minute?
[HD2 General] AzizOnDeck:
I'm definitely going to have the phone repaired some time soon but money is a little tight at the moment being a college student etc.

But about running a new rom... are you for certain that active sync will be set as default is a new rom is installed?

I'm willing to test that out
[HD2 General] Archer:
Yes mate. It's the 1st in the list and is selected by default. It pops up the dialog asking how you want to use the USB connection and uses the selected one after a few seconds.

It will definitely allow you to use MyPhoner, or similar.
[HD2 General] AzizOnDeck:
I see okay perfect! However, wouldn't installing a new ROM need me to be connected through active sync? Haha
[HD2 General] tarekkkkk:
No when u first boot press the volume down (aside button but down) it will let u boot into bootloader then happily flash , use steve0007 rom best one...
[HD2 General] Archer:
As tarekkkkk said, hold down the volume down button when you turn the phone on and it will go into bootloader mode. You should be able to install a new ROM from there.
[HD2 General] AzizOnDeck:
Perfection! Thank you so much, i was able to install a new rom and make it auto boot into Android. Now I can just use droidexplorer to control my phone! Appreciate the help!
[HD2 General] Archer:
No worries mate. Glad you got it sorted :)

[Desire General] mortenmhp:

Definitely a useful guide.
[Desire General] mr_norris:

Awesome job!

Would you mind letting me know where you got it from and how much the digitizer cost?

[Desire General] hudl:
Nice description! I'm wondering if there is a digitizer out there that supports "real" multitouch capabilities for our Desire? Would this work (also in aspect to software needings)? Anyone knows?
[Desire General] Epsis:
The digitiser was found on eBay after a quick search for 'HTC Desire Digitiser', and we just looked for ones that mentioned they were for the Bravo, which of course was the Desire's codename. The digitiser itself cost about £25, which was pretty much the cheapest we could find - the seller was exquisite, with 100% positive feedback and hundreds of sales, they were solely selling phone parts.

£25 is really, really cheap when some people we spoke to about getting it fixed wanted over £150 :P
[Desire General] FastPete:
What a great guide. Thanks so much!
[Desire General] lambda14:
You had a screen protector before the break?
[Desire General] radu_wizu:
While the digitizer supports "real" multitouch i really think it's the chip that decodes those touches that is to blame for our lack of "true" multitouch.
[Desire General] heavymetalmage:
I'm looking at doing the same project. What did you use to stick the digitizer back? I've seen some people use super glue and some people use strong double sided tape.
[Desire General] snowwhite007:
Good job took me 3 hours to fix mine lol getting it back together was the hardest part great step by step tho
[Desire General] solyxius:
Very curious about this too (wifes shattered screen) it's the only part that I'm not confident about - one used double sided tape sliced into 2mm strips (http://tjworld.net/blog/htc-desire-tear-down#Finishing).

What did you use?
[Desire General] heavymetalmage:
I did it last week. I ended up just using the remaining adhesive to stick it back in there. Holding fine so far!
[Nexus One General] mikeybags:
Semi Noob question.

I just am finally upgrading my SD card, bought a 16GB after using the stock since I got the phone. I had moved all apps to SD via Titanium backup, so...

1. Will copying the contents of the old SD over to the new one suffice or will other steps need to be taken after I put it in?

and 2. What is the idea setup as far as formatting goes, for Apps2SD, best performance, etc? Is there one way that's better than the others?

Worth noting that I'm on CM7 right now.
[Nexus One General] xsnipuhx:
1. Should be fine.

2. I don't know if ext a2sd still works but 512mb ext3/4 with the rest fat32 works for me. No reason for swap.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
A2Ext can still be used, if you partition via recovery it will wipe the SD card, so do that before copying stuff.
[Nexus One General] habs25:
1. I would backup all the apps using titanium backup. I'm not too sure that moving them to SD is going to do it.

2. For Apps2SD, I have 512 megs ext 3 partitioned with no swap. I'd say go with ext3 because more roms are compatible with it...
[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
I also upgraded from stock SD to a 16gb class 10 - all I did was copy all contents from one sd to the other. Everything worked right away.

Sure ain't like moving sd's in Symbian ... oh what a mess that was.

[Desire HD General] Robrecht:
Most of you will probably know this already, but if you tap and hold on the horizontal tab sliders in all the HTC apps, you can change their order and even remove or add tabs. Do this in the music library and you get three new tabs to pick from: composers, purchased music and genre. Especially that last one made me happy as I really missed it, coming from a Windows Mobile HD2.
[Desire HD General] sromer:
i didn't know about it, thanks
[Desire HD General] Hakimy:
I still don't get it.could you explain more? :P
[Desire HD General] guide144:
Thank you too... I just learned it today.
[Desire HD General] Robrecht:
@Hakimy:

Go to the HTC music player's library screen. At the bottom, you've got the slider to switch between the "artists", "albums" and other tabs. Hold your finger on the slider without moving it for about 5 seconds, and it will go into edit mode.

The new tabs are at the top of the screen: if you want to use them, just drag them down onto the slider bar.
[Desire HD General] torsrex:
Thanks, didn't know about this feature.
[Desire HD General] Quinny:

[Desire HD General] ErOR22:
Yep found this when I got the phone as I wanted to sort music by albums. This is common on Sense enabled phones, to have tabs like that.

Yeay, looks like I really did discover something! :-) Weird that they would hide a feature like that though, the lack of a genre tab was one of my biggest complaints after I switched from a WinMo phone to my Desire HD.

[EVO 4G General] elegantai:
even with mediocre wear leveling and minimum nand life, you would have to flash something like 10 TB of data to your nand before it began to break down. i use cm @ around 80mb so i would have to flash it like 125,000 times. lol
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
crap! I don't have much time left!
[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
Correct. Technically all flash devices can only be written to a certain number of times. Typically that number is 100,000.

So..if you flashed an average of 3 times a day you would get about 90 years worth before you see problems. I guarantee you would drop it in the toilet before that!
[EVO 4G General] elegantai:
and my calculations were only based off 10,000 write cycles per cell :D lol

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
the checksum is a way to make sure the file your flashing isnt corrupt. its not that important with roms, but things like radio's and hboot's, a corrupt one could brick your phone :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seelinkit:
so if i wanna flash my radio, i should make sure the checksum of the radio matched with the rom i flashed?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
no, the checksum is file specific you compare the checksum of the file you have downloaded with the checksum that is posted with it, if they are the same the file is not corrupted.

[Fascinate General] jenisiz:
Do you have the option for dual boot? If not, try wine. I started getting to heavy into the programing of the phone and had to load windows on a seperate partition but you could attempt wine for simple applications. The issue will arise with drivers however.

I have Wine installed, and it starts the START ROOT bat file just fine.....it just doesn't recognize my phone:( I'm fairly sure it's the (windoze) drivers holding up the process.

Is there any hope to get my phone rooted without begging computer time on someones Windoze system?

I'm travelling in Japan now and I noticed something strange.

I have both "Use packet data" and "Data roaming" disabled in settings but for some reason "Data roaming" sometimes enabled itself!

I did some testing if some app turned it on and finally found out that checking for OTA update when using wifi enables Data roaming :eek: Very dangerous for your phone bill if you don't notice it :mad: Luckily I had "Use packet data" disabled so no harm done.

I'm pretty sure you have the roaming for that happen since the setting didn't change back in Finland when checking for OTA update.
