First of all. Was your root successful? If yes then does your base band support the rom that you're trying to install because one gets stuck in the boot loop if the baseband is not correct for that particular rom.

Cheers!

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kasperddv:
It says the root was succesfull, but then you have to enable USB-Debugging mode but thats impossible beacause there isnt a correct rom on the phone so you cant boot and enable USB-Debugging mode.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierre Duc:
I had the same problem 2 days ago.

I fixed it by downloading http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=959821 this one

Place it into flashtool, and wait till flashtool gives you the message to connect your phone in flashmode.

(im probably sure you know how to, but ill explain it anyways, remove your battery (because its stuck on the logo), wait a few seconds. put it back in. hold the back button, and connect the usb wire, untill the ledlight turns green.. fast press 'ok' on the flashtool screen, otherwise your phone will go out of flashmode)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kasperddv:
Thanks, for the reply,

Ive contacted the Phone house, and they sended it back to SE, now SE says the phone has water damage, very wierd but still ill get it back today and then try to flash it your way

Hi guys

used to have a rom which was fine except for transfering data so I had to move to another one (MCCM HD 4.0) but I have 2 gripes:

1. the calendar week starts on Sunday where my previous rom started on Monday.

I cannot find anywhere the setting that will allow me to change it to Monday. Does anyone know how to do it?

2. the battery meter has been done with white numbers on a light green background (and they are also left justified instead of right justified) but they are totally unreadable. I would like to change them to an easier to read version like black numbers on a green background. Again can anyone tell me how to do it or point me in the right direction (or thread)?

Thanks

I just installed WP7 on my HD2 that ad android...and i have to say its not bad at all! One issue I noticed is that my Call button seem to start the camera application...! How do I fix that? I have the blackSideSeven ROM installed.Any ideas??
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tardcutt:
The call button is set as a camera button by default... As one of the requirements for windows phone is having the dedicated camera button. So, that's why we have call button as a camera button on our HD2... Don't think if you could change that..:p
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] aidicula:
Wow! so taking pics is more important than making a call according to bill gates? i m just joking...i guess wp7 phones have more buttons..

even then i would like the call button to BE a call button!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Mafioso:
lol, even I used to think that...but if you look at any Wp7 phones, they have only 3 buttons back, windows and find...dedicated camera button on side..

Guess taking a photo through phone is more important than calling thesedays :confused: :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] anrabi4:
It has nothing to do with the importance of taking photos or placing calls.

WP7 phones have a dedicated camera button which is usually placed on one of the device's sides. Due to a software limitation, WP7 requires the device it is running on to have a dedicated camera button. All the other four buttons of our HD2s were busy with having other functions, thus the only one remaining was the call button. The devs found it not only optimal but necessary to sacrifice this one button in order to get the OS going on our phones.

Thus, we have an on-screen Call Hub and a dedicated hardware camera button.

Seems rather straight-forward, doesn't it?

Hey all.

I have a Samsung captivate GT-19088 and I wanted to put a ROM on it. If I try and put a Samsung Captivate I897 ROM on it is it going to brick my phone? Or does it not matter because they are both Captivates.

Thanks in advance.

No idea, but what if you just backed up first then tried it? Or ask the developer of the ROM?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marlene65:
Hello!

When I send a new SMS, the sms is sent to "unsent messages" (But still sent to the recipent). So whenever I turn on my

phone, the sms that went to "unsent messages" are sent again, so that means the sms is sent to the same person twice. This, as you can understand, if quite frustrating, as it causes a lot of confusion and trouble.

Anyone experienced the same? I've tried to factory reset the phone, but it's still not working properly.

I also checked all the settings, but I can't find anything wrong. I haven't touched the settings prior to the problem either.

Also, I can't send MMS, perhaps it's related?

All answers are greatly appreciated!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3:
Which network/country is this with?

If it's unsent and you exit the app, when you go back in it should be marked as unsent or still in the compose pane. How is yours?

Never had that issue myself (I'm a heavy texter).

[Desire General] Dutch Sephiroth:
Hi,

Next week it's finally time to buy a new phone and I have a few questions I hope you guys can help me with.

I pretty much had my mind made up to get a HTC Desire with a 12 month contract, and go for a top of the line (hopefully HTC) dual core phone next year.

But now the Desire S is coming within 2 months (expected) and i'm beginning to doubt.

After searching here at XDA I found 2 major issues people seem to have with the original Desire.

The lack of multitouch support and the small internal memory.

I really like the design of the original Desire, especially the hardware buttons and trackpad. But the Desire S isn't ugly either.

And ofcourse the Desire S fixes the 2 problems and bring better specs. But it will also be a lot more expensive, around 150 euro extra with a 12 month contract I think.

I also have to walk around with my old Touch HD for an exta 2 months :P

So finally my questions are: How much of a limitation are the dualtouch screen and internal memory?

How much/which apps are unusable due to lack of multitouch? Only games or, more importantly, other apps as well?

And with App2SD and more possibilities after rooting, do you still have problems with the internal memory?

As mentioned I have a Touch HD now, I don't have many application installed and I don't play games on it.

This could change with android seeing as there are much more possibilities and quality apps, but I still don't see myself gaming extensively on my phone.

Using search I could not find a answer, only that some have 100 or even 200 apps installed. Which to me sounds like more than enough.

I would very much appriciate your thoughts!

Thanks
[Desire General] seepa:
Heyo,

My short answer would be, get the original desire.

Long answer:

If you are going to root your phone and possibly even install a custom rom you would get almost unlimited amount of space for your apps with the apps2sd solutions around nowadays. Well... maybe not unlimited, but more than enough space anyways :P As it comes to multitouch, I own a desire and have never found myself thinking "i wish i had multitouch." As far as i know it's not really needed for anything (except for google maps tilting etc. whoop-de-doo.)

I also noticed that you mentioned preferring the hard buttons. Let me tell you, the touch buttons on my previous phone (wildfire) were driving me CRAZY!!! I accidentally pushed the back button while writing a message so many times it wasn't even tragically funny any more. Just so you know, when you do that, you have to write the whole message again... which is nice!

All in all, the desire S seems like a good phone, but the overall opinion about it seems to be that it's sort of a inbetween phone. The original desire does not have the appeal it once had because it's not new and shiny any more and the dual core HTC phones are yet to be announced.
[Desire General] Dutch Sephiroth:
Thanks for your input. And yes I'm definitely going to install custom roms, maybe not right away but as soon as I get bored with the original one. I flashed all kinds of roms on my Touch HD as well (thanks xda-developers!). If that pretty much fixes the memory problem that would be great.

As for multi touch, glad to hear from a desire use that does not have problems with that. While reading these forums I came across multiple threads showing Youtube movies of the Axis crossing issue and complaining how they have so much trouble with it. Do you play any games which require multiple touches at the same time and don't you have any problems with that either?

Anybody else care to share their opinion? It would be great to hear from a few other desire owners what their experiences are.
[Desire General] erklat:
I'm voting S. No point in getting a one year old phone when you won't get dual core phones in less than a ~year either way. By that time your contract for this phone would expire.

Desire S is not in the upgrade path for the Desire vanilla owners, but for users like you, which don't have either.

People are sharing misinformation regarding S that it is just plain ridiculous. I guess it is desperate fight in favor of their investment :rolleyes:

The device is clearly better than the original Desire, and not only in the terms of internal memory. The only reason why you possibly might go after Desire vanilla is the AMOLED screen, which you couldn't get either way now.
[Desire General] Dutch Sephiroth:
Well, if you have enough money to spend then yes I would agree. But I'm a student and the Desire S will cost me an extra 150 euros easy. Which I could spend on other things as well.

So the reason why I'm trying to determine the impact of the low memory and dualtouch is to see if the "issues" with the Desire are bad enough to spend that extra money on a newer device, while I will be upgrading to a dual core next year anyway. Or can I last 12 months with an older, but still pretty good, smartphone that has some limitations.

And as a Desire owner, could you provide your take on the low internal memory and dualtouch issues please :D
[Desire General] monsterfly:
Only reason I would choose original Desire over S is price of phone on contract. If the difference is over 100€ I would buy original Desire. Especially if you plan to root and install custom roms which can overcome Desire's problem with low memory.
[Desire General] erklat:
I'm a college student with some 9 exams to grad, so I know what you're talking about :D

I don't know what multitouch is, so I can't miss it either. :D

Low internal space is no problem, you have plenty of ways to circumvent this, and decent SD card outperforms nand either way. The only thing I can imagine which might eat your internal away are stupid Gameloft's games which don't work on Desire either way like they should due to poor gpu performance. I have some 70 apps on my phone and 100mb free on my internal storage.

Desire S packs second generation Qualcomm cpu which rectifies the first gen shortcomings, has moar internal storage, moar memory and on top of that, has better battery combined with more energy efficient cpu. This sounds like a win win situation to me, while clearly the internal memory issue is not the only one addressed like people claim.
[Desire General] Dutch Sephiroth:
@erklat, thanks for the info. And I won't tell you about the dualtouch/multitouch issue on the Desire. If you haven't noticed by now than it's safe to say that you are not bothered by it. If I explain it, you might start to notice this little shortcoming :)

Edit: Erklat, you say you have 70 apps and 100mb storage left. Is that by only using the app2sd option in Froyo or do you have a custom rom with more move to SD card options as well?

@monsterfly, yes I'm beginning to think so as well. Also because no one seems to notice the dualtouch limitation here.
[Desire General] Number22:
Get the Desire S if you are looking for a gaming device (Minigore, Mini Squadron, Gun Bros and basically any game that uses dual analog controls won't work it's best - and the lack of multitouch is painfully obvious). Otherwise, the only place where you'll find Desire's dualtouch lacking is in the newest Google maps.

As for the memory/battery issue... The battery on the Desire doesn't last more than a day of use (unless it's in airplane mode and with the screen off). The internal storage is severely lacking with the default software, but resizing partitions and/or apps2sd make the Desire a Beast.

A 100€ is a lot of money for a student (I'm still in high school :D), however, if you're going to be able to afford a dual core HTC next year or so, is money really such a problem? (especially if the other way to spend the $$ is getting drunk :D)

Either way, it's up to you. Personally, if I had the money, and not the Desire, I would probably go for the Desire Z, but choose what fits you best.
[Desire General] erklat:
I use a2sd+ capable custom rom ;)
[Desire General] Dutch Sephiroth:
@number22, thanks for your reaction. I'm not looking for a gaming device so I'm glad to hear yet another person is not having issues with the lack of multitouch.

And I'm familiar with the battery not lasting long, my current Touch HD doesn't last that long either. About a day and a half with moderate usage, so I'm already used to charging every night. This seems to be the case with most smartphones nowadays anyway.

And I will be able to afford a high end phone next year because I will take a 2 year contract. But to me there isn't one high end phone now or coming in the next few months that is worth that 2 year contract. So I want a 1 year phone to keep me happy till next year without spending too much money. And I think the original Desire will be able to do that.
[Desire General] chrismast:
so he could see the additional money spend as precaution for becoming an alcoholic if not yet ;).

I guess I would go with the Desire S (because of more storage space and I did not root my Desire yet) but agree on the fact that 150Euros is quite alot. On Multitouch: I play some games (miniSquadron, Gun Bros) and on neither of them I face a real "big" issue, maybe it would work better with multi but it works fine as it is as well.
[Desire General] Dutch Sephiroth:
@chrismast, haha I suppose you can look at it that way. And thanks for the info on multitouch, great to hear.
[Desire General] dzumagos:
low internal storage is not a problem any apps2sd+ or data2sd solves it perfectly

battery usage ? with custom rom (snq kernel on InsertCoin ROM) i get 3-4 days with low use and 1 day with heavy use. ppl say that with couttstech kernel it is even better.

multitouch. you will experience it only in games (and google maps)

but most games (good games actually) have the option to use 2 d-pads diagonally which makes it playable on the desire :) not every game though :P (for example i cant play pes 2011 cause the buttons are on the same height as d-pad)

but here is a funny fact. do some search on desire forums here on xda, topic name was 'is desire a good smartphone'. some guy claimed there that he could play all multitouch games easily, i specifically asked him to double check some games and he said that he plays this games without any problems while i cant (one of them was pes2011) he haid a PVT4 erasesize 2000 version (SLCD of course) and i have a PVT3 version. but in theory they have the exaclty same hardware so i cant tell wheter it actually worked better on his phone or maybe he just couldnt see the issue (dunno how would that be possible)
[Desire General] darkwater13:
I'm a desire user, but I'd say if money isn't a problem then it'd be best to get the desire s, unless you're willing to play around with it a bit to get that extra storage.

Personally, I can't leave those hardware keys behind, I'll be waiting around for a dual core with them (if not, maybe a quad core later :P) and the desire has a great community behind it, with a nice variety of ROMs. The multitouch isn't bad at all if you don't play too many games, I play a lot of games requiring multitouch and haven't had any problems except for a couple (multi-touch 2 player air hockey, and another one I forget that wasn't fun anyway)
[Desire General] Zhypr:
Also note that you do have "multi-touch". It's not like the X10 before it's update that had to use zoom buttons. Only a few things that require real multi-touch don't work with the Desire. This basically comes down to the google maps tilt thing and dual player games (on the same phone like airhockey). You aren't going to miss it. For just one year the Desire will be fine. My own contract ends in about one year from now.
[Desire General] Dutch Sephiroth:
Thanks for all the usefull answers guys. I think i'll be getting a Desire next week :)
[Desire General] Chaoticaa:
My opinion:

Dual-Touch: I've played many games on my Desire (mostly tower defense games and Sudoku, which wouldn't require multi-touch). I only noticed an issue with this when I loaded the new Google Maps and couldn't use some of the new features. Tbh, you wouldn't normally want to use that feature other than to show off to your friends what your awesome new phone can do. :P

For my touch-screen gaming, I mainly use my iPad (and soon my Motorola XOOM! :D).

Low internal memory: When I was using the default ROM, it was pretty terrible. I'd have to clear internet and Facebook cache all the time just trying to get another couple of MB of storage to be able to sync (when <15 MB remaining on internal, nothing syncs including email, IM clients, Facebook push notifications, etc). Even using FroYo's built-in Move to SD feature, there was not nearly enough space on my phone. After I installed LeeDroid (with A2SD+), however, things went so smooth. The ROM is miles faster, slightly better battery optimization (still a daily battery, but now lasts maybe 2-4 hours longer until needing to charge) and most importantly: apps can be moved to ext3 partition on SD card allowing LOADS more space on internal memory! :D
[Desire General] Gundam00qan:
For the multi-touch it depends what game.

For games like Heavy Gunner with both controls at the same axis, yeah.

Int memory as mentioned, has been addressed from rooting (if you don't root, you're losing a lot of goodiebags :p)

They both aren't dual cores so I'd rather not get either one, lol.

But if it's between the two, S is the right one to get....
[Desire General] Gundam00qan:
:confused: That's not many games :confused:

Playing gameloft games, fruit ninja, anything that uses multi-touch, enjoy the random actions. (especially games like Dungeon Defender, Pocket Legends..etc)

If you don't play games, then 70% of your multi-touch issue has been addressed :p

Google maps? Use another GPS app. I'm using PAPAGO for myself...works fine :D

Just want to make sure my understanding is correct

- Don't use "reboot recovery" command or other shiny things to do this!

Flash cm7-captivate-initial-kernel.tar as pda using odin without auto-reboot

So after flash of efs pull battery, get to dl mode, flash initial kernel with auto reboot off. Pull bay after flash go back to recovery?

Do a wipe

Factory restore in clockwork?

Install the Nexus S USB-Drivers from SDK-Manager if you're using windows.

Are these drivers needed to use odin our just files transfers

To revert to a samsung rom, simply use odin with repartition option enabled.

Does odin one click qualify here or use full version?

Just making sure I understand instructions fully, thanks

[Captivate Android Development] qwertyaas:

[Captivate Android Development] .Candy:
No, please read the instructions fifty-thousand times before you do anything. It clearly says to use the three button combo to reboot, directly underneath that. If you do a battery pull while in Download mode, you risk destroying your phone.

Yes.

These are drivers to use your phone (incorrect, but avoiding the question). Just install the drivers, because the instructions say so. If you don't, you can't plug your phone into your computer.

Odin One Click. Or Odin3. It doesn't matter. Just reboot into Download mode using the button combo and use Odin.
[Captivate Android Development] Konner920:
I must be dumb but, There is no efs-backup for initial kernel to even download, Or I'm unable to find it. On that page, all I see is Initial package, update, and google-addon. No kernel, no efs package.

EDIT: k. I just fail. It was inside the initial package. .-.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Thank you for the response. The initial kernel to be flashed via odin is the z image inside the initial package?
