[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazaIan:
I just flashed Gr8Gorilla's DesireHD Sense ROM to my myTouch, and one of the key things I love has been destroyed. MMS photos look like dog crap, with extreme pixelation and nothing but blurriness. How can I fix this? I can't select a user Agent like I did in CM7, but this Sense ROM just looks so sexy, I can't leave it! How can I fix it?
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
Every major OS seems to hit very powerfully in one area and be weak in others.

First there's iOS who's app store is their major (and in my opinion only) selling point.

Then there's android, it's pretty much completely open-source.

WP7 is all about the OS, there's nothing that quite compares in that region

Blackberry is all about reliability. Sturdy hardware with unimpressive specs but great battery life and an OS that almost never has any errors

WebOS... well some people like the cards... Honestly I couldn't think of the selling point for this one :/.

Aside from those points it seems to be primarily a matter of opinion (though I know some of the above are opinions as well they're pretty much fact)

We all war over who's got the best OS but if we would all just get along I'm sure this could be a more community oriented forum and as a whole we could get a lot more done.
[General Topics] FLAC Vest:
Yea... I do agree with all of the OSs strong points, however I font think we "font get along" in a sense that we don't like a particular OS, we just don't like certain things about it.

I font like the fact that IOS is practically closed, and when I had an ills Touch for a while I quickly got bored of it because it was the sans through and through.

I have an Android phone and love it, but, like most people, I feel the OS could be a little more polished and the apparently along with the market could be better to compete with IOS.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokeweed:
i had a hero for a year rooted and running aosp mod and sum1 stole it. when i got my new one in january(2011) it wouldnt root it the same way(android-sdk using command prompt). when i use androot it roots but superuser wont work. it installs but wont prompt for any permissions when trying to use rommanager to install clockwork. clockwork says it flashes the recovery (tried both clockwork and amanra using rom manager) and when it says its going to reboot it does nothing. if i try to boot to recovery manually it wont get past the black screen with pic of phone and red triangle with exclamation mark on it. is this a prob with the phone being newer and maybe having a new patch of sorts on it?

Hallo :)

Can I use the original music player when using Launcher Pro?

I don't talk about the original Android music player but the custom music players made by the phonecompanies for there phones.

E.g. will the music player on the Optimus 2x work if I install Launcher Pro when I get the phone? :p

Here is an youtube ID for a video of the player - v=1RsIPTr-14I[/url]

Yes you can. The launcher should make no difference.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soreyes:
Wife's phone usb port is broke. It got mangled by a tough cord pull. It can't be straightened out. plastic is broken and contacts are mangled. After I did some research, I can see this issue happens on quite a few phones with micro usb such as the evo, but i have not seen too many people mention it about the g2.

Anyways, no warranty since I got the hardware from craigsist. Even if there was a warranty htc has not been covering this sort of damage on the evo.

From what i can tell there are a couple of possible fixes and a workaound.

fix one - new motherboard. too expensive

fix two - have a new replacement port soldered onto the existing board. i am not sure if this is worth it. i don't have much soldering experience, so i would probably have to send it somewhere. Does anyone have any idea of what that sort of thing would cost? is it pretty risky in terms of further damage to the board?

workaround - Get an external charger and possibly a second battery to reduce downtime while charging. This is probably what we will do for a while. Does anyone have a solid suggestion for an external charger for the g2? Is the battery the same format as other HTC phones such as the evo?

thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lainvalenajr:
Ah that sucks. From what i think if you know how to open the g2 then you wouldnt have a problem with fix 2 only thing i say is dont F..k up the motherboard lol... yoll have a fully broken phone. Dont know about fix 1.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
If you don't need a working micro USB port for connecting to your computer, just pick up one of those power mats that charge your devices by just placing them on the mat.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soreyes:
I looked into the powermat product last night. As far as I could tell, it seemed like they didn't have one for the G2. In that case, they provide a workaround, but it sounds like it also requites a working port of some sort.

"If your specific device is not listed in Step 1, we currently do not have a receiver for your model. By choosing "other" your solution will include a wireless Powercube universal receiver with 7 tips to allow your device to charge on a Powermat mat."

"The Powercube Universal Receiver Allows you to Charge Hundreds of Devices Wirelessly

The perfect accessory to your mat. Seven Interchangeable tips (micro USB, mini USB, Samsung, LG, Apple, Nintendo DSi, Sony PSP) allow you to wirelessly charge hundreds of mobile devices using just one receiver. Works with all Powermat mats."

After reading that, it stops sounding wireless at all. The universal powercube is wireless to the powermat, but it needs to attach to the handset with a cord. Pretty silly for $100. maybe there are other companies besides powermat?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soreyes:
I found a great thread about sanding chintech batteries. I ordered the two pack plus charger and will peel and sand them. So for now, I will use the external charging workaround.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=945090

In the meantime, if anyone else has a broken usb microport issue, post up your experience here. The issue seems rampant in the evo's, but maybe not so much on the G2. It is a heck of a small plastic tab in there holding the contacts.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orite:
Or get one of those 2 batteries + 1 charger deals on ebay and charge one while you're out and when you run out of battery just swap it. That's what I do and I think it's a hell of a lot more convenient.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gwbyrd:
Just chiming in

I have the same problem, except my micro usb connector still functions very testily. I have to plug and unplug it several times, and the slightest of jostles will disconnect it. Charging is more reliable than tethering, and I definitely use tethering, as I don't have a wired broadband connection at home. I'd love to get this repaired, if it's not too costly or difficult, so I'm going to watch this thread. Thanks for the suggestions on getting an external charger and extra batteries. If my connector continues to deteriorate, it makes me feel very relieved to know I'll have a backup. Thank heavens this phone has an sdcard slot!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soreyes:
Tethering and file transfer can be accomplished over wifi with some apps. Look for wireless tether and the samba or ftp apps
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhkr234:
This is planned obsolescence at its worst. The switch from mini-USB to micro-USB doesn't save any space and makes the plug VERY VERY delicate.

Personally, I would take it apart, unsolder the micro-USB socket from the board, solder in a new MINI-USB socket, and reassemble. It is relatively low risk, as long as you are careful while soldering (use proper desoldering wick to disassemble). Be sure that you don't use too strong a soldering iron -- about 15 watt, and be sure to use one that is GROUNDED (three prong plug).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soreyes:
Thats some good advice. I was not aware you could swap out the interface in that way.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
It's actually not quite that simple to change interface. You would first need to find a mini-USB connector having the same alignment pegs (to help with strain relief) and pad spacing as the current micro-USB connector. You will also need to hack the chassis of the phone some as well (and even then, a mini-USB connector will still probably stick out slightly).

Despite what was stated earlier, although both mini-USB and micro-USB have about the same width, mini-USB connectors are significantly thicker (or taller) and slightly longer (as far as depth). Micro-USB actually does give a pretty nice space savings for a hardware designer and can be more robust in design depending on the actual connector used.

Probably easier to just try and find the same connector HTC used if you are going to go through the trouble of replacing it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prittyboy203:
I like to know all the great advise I was also worried about this when I just had the EVO. But to transfer files you could use a sdcard slot adapter for your pc or one of those usb sdcard readers I had used that when rooting my g1 along time ago LOL. Thanks for the backup ideas :-)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gwbyrd:
Thanks, soreyes :) I already use the wifi tethering now and then, but it really drains the battery and makes the phone very hot. In fact, I accidentally left my wifi tethering on overnight the other night and woke up to a dead battery and a radio that wouldn't work for half the day. I was actually worried I had fried my phone and turned it into an expensive PDA. After turning it off for about 8 hours, it worked fine again, thank goodness.

I definitely hadn't thought of FTP or samba for file transfer, but thanks for the suggestion. I hate taking out the battery to get to the sdcard, just to transfer a file or two.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gelainest:
Having this problem with a G2 as well

I started having charging issues a few months ago, before my warranty ended, but now, I'm screwed and the phone will not charge at all. I know it is not the battery.

I have a G2 from T-Mobile. I took it apart and it looks like the job to get the port off and replace it would not be simple.

Has someone actually completed that task?

Does anyone have the part number on the port? I see several very similar ones on ebay. (search for microUSB and android)

Or, has someone sent theirs off to be fixed out of warranty? I've seen a place called Mission Repair mentioned here and there on the web...

Thanks!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradley_e_smith:
I had always thought (if mine usb port broke) about trying these guys ( www.cellulardr.com ), i mean if your phone is not really working you could check them out to see if the price is right.

I know I sent my itouch off for screen repair and it was worth it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voltaic:
You might consider buying one of those G2's on eBay with the broken screen, and swapping out the motherboard, then along with that you'd get all kinds of other spare parts, including battery etc.

I've never taken apart the phone, so can't attest to the difficulty, but I've seen a few guides around.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gelainest:
Update on repair options

So I called a local shop and they said that it was too complex of a procedure for them and referred me to Mission Repair in KS.

Called Mission and they said they get several calls a day from folks with G2's/Evos/and Desires with this exact problem. The guy said that in 80% of the cases it is not fixable without replacing the logic board because the issue is often that the logic board connectors break. This is a known issue with these similar HTC phones.

On the other side of things, I called HTC and it turns out these phones have a warranty from 15 months of manufacture, which T-Mobile did NOT inform us about. They said they will take the phone and fix it for free if i hadn't voided the warranty.

Now if only I hadn't open the phone up after the T-mobile rep told me there was no hope. *arg*
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] glocklee:
Hello everyone,

I've searched through the Internet and found kernel autobuilds on htc-linux website(sorry,my account is limited to post links)

I've got two questions:

1.There exists three kinds of images: htcleo / htcleo-android / htcleo-usbhost / htcleo-usbeth. Can these android images use usb host function?Or I have to manually configure and build the kernel from source?If I have to build it myself,where can I find the toolchains(I use Linux on PC)?

2.Seems that there're quite a few custom kernels, are they open source?If so,where to find them?

Thx in advance!

Here is a simple Google logo boot animation.

Try it if you like it.

I created it for my HTC Touch Diamond and it looks quite nice, ;)

Even though it's not even a Google phone, lol.:D

The resolution is 480x640. Hope it works on your phone :)

You can download it HERE
[Android Themes] ilovechi23:
Would this work for a Droid X?? and also do i install this like a Rom threw clockwork?
[Android Themes] bunu:
nope. you should be able to push it to /data/local/ but your droid x resolution is too great for this animation. you should upscale it to fit your HDPI screen.
[Android Themes] Younio:
Actually it should work, because in this animation only width is important. And it is 480 pixels, the same as Droid X.

So feel free to try it! :)

And by the way, android boot animation should resize itself if the screen resolution is too big or too small. For example i have used animation that is 261x348 and it fully fitted on myscreen (480x680) even the quality was good.

So this animation should work on any kind of device with android 2.1 or higher ;)
[Android Themes] CaptainJ5:
any chance of making the google letters just white? i want this one so bad for my og evo...

Free download from the market of the full game. GREAT Snowboarding game (they are my fav games). No issues with this game that I have found. Works great, great graphics, great control, only wish they had been more imaginative with some of the "missions" and had half-pipe and a competition mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluecluster:
I decided to do a reboot just to have a fresh start after adjusting some app. The phone was stuck at the flashing Darky logo for indefinite amount of time. After a minute or so of flashing logo, phone vibrates shortly and continues flashing the logo. That repeats each minute.

Taking out the battery and retrying didn't help, same thing.

In the past 48h since last boot, I've installed a bunch of apps, mostly games, so it's natural to look for a culprit among them. However, right now I can hardly do anything with the phone. I can access the recovery menu, download mode probably as well and that's it.

I'm ready to flash the Resurrection Edition, but first I'd like to exhaust other options for fixing the problem or at least backing up everything I can. I have partial backups but would very much like to access the latest changes that weren't backed up.

My questions are:

1) Is there some kind of boot logging that I could turn on, access and which would point to the problem? I'm comfortable using ADB if it's needed.

2) I did a CWM backup. What did it backup? Primarily, what about contacts, SMS messages?

3) The most important question: If I reflash the ROM and then use CWM restore, will the problem repeat itself? (If an app is the source of the problem and all apps are backed up and then restored, I'm afraid the problem won't go away. I see few big image files in the backup folder which suggests that everything will be restored as it was. Bootloop too?)

Additional hints for experts on what might be causing the problem:

There are only two incidents that come to mind.

First is that I did a wipe flash of darky 9.1, then a regular flash of 9.2. After I discovered my GPS simply doesn't work on 9.2, I did a regular flash back to 9.1. This was about 2 weeks ago. Is there something in this procedure that might leave some problems that would show up in the future?

Second thing is a incident I had 2 days ago (the time last reboot was done and last time I've had a successful boot).

I left the phone ON over night, and in the morning found it turned off. I thought it might be a dead battery so I plugged it in. It wouldn't start for few minutes but then booted normally.

During that day I found it OFF one more time, for no apparent reason. This time battery was nowhere close to low. It turned off while in standby/locked screen mode so I can't say that it was doing anything in particular.

(Even the turning off during the night is suspect. It had sound on, it was near my head, and I'm sure that low battery warnings would wake me up. It might just be the case it turned off for no apparent reason like it did during the day.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxorq:
i think, that when you flashed 9.1 over 9.2, it could leave some weird things, because everyone is talking bout updating, and no-one even think about downgrading rom.

Answer 1. If you used SpeedMod kernel, I think you can turn Logging in Tweaks Menu at RM, and start phone with plugged USB cable to computer (running adb).

Dunno bout other kernels.

Darkyy normally turned off logging, because ROM was bit faster without it.

Answer 2. Probably contacts were synced to Google (contacts.google.com) <--- try it

I think SMS messages are backed up together with whole ROM (contacts too).

Answer 3. Probably yes, problem will repeat. I don't know but maybe there is some way you can restore only some things, not whole system.

I think you should make "Backup Everything" in CWM, then try flashing 9.2 again.

Weird that GPS were not working there.

It seems something bad was happening that caused random reboots.

What apps that require root, you were using? Swapper, Galaxy Tuner, Overclocking?
