[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master&Slave™:
Thanks ill try it out
[Desire General] Nece228:
Hi,

There was a lot of talk that HTC Desire suffers from overheating and random rebooting problems. Even worse, when they get their phone "repaired" after warranty service it still suffers from same problems, people needed to resend theirs Desire few times until its fixed. Well im planning to buy Desire but i wouldnt want those problems, in fact i pay quite a big price. One guy in this forum said that only two first motherboard revisions had that problem, but newer revisions no longer has this problem, altough i know a person who bought HTC Desire in late December, 2010, and well she said that her Desire sometimes gets hot somewhere in the bottom and reboots, but that doesnt happen often so thats not a problem for her. So seriously, what is the problem? If i will buy HTC Desire now is there a chance that i will have same problems? Or i should skip that phone and go straight to Desire HD or Desire S?

Thanks for answers
[Desire General] undercover:
I'd go for desire s. Love my desire, but lack of space is really starting to annoy me. Had my mobo replaced few months ago, no reboots yet. Desire s is not MUCH better phone, but it looks like all the bad points with original desire have been rectified.
[Desire General] Nece228:
Well i would think the same, but we are still not sure about Desire S. How many problems will it have? Perhaps it will also have showstoppers? In fact i believe that Desire S in no way would have as rich selection of Roms as the original Desire or even Desire HD. Just because i dont think its gonna be popular enough, so no people will use that phone - no contribution they could do. Other than that i really like that phone from what ive seen, its even better than Desire, but its price is a bit too big imo for now, perhaps it will become cheaper after it will be released...
[Desire General] Meaple:
I don't know about the overheating problems. I got my Desire July last year and had no issues with it at all. I don't know about you but I would prob get Desire S, purely because it is newer. I doubt their would be any issues at all but if your still not 100% sure what to do, just wait a couple of months and see if there are any complaints about the Desire S. It probably wouldn't be as popular as the original Desire, but I reckon there will be a fair few devs out there that would do the work.
[Desire General] xXViRuSXx:
If you want to by pass all these issues with the Desire I recommend getting the HTC Evo 4G. It never over-heats nor has random reboots. Just for a little more cash it is well worth price.
[Desire General] Meaple:
You know what's crap about 4G? We don't have it in the UK.
[Desire General] Nece228:
Well im in Europe and it doesnt support cdma phones so Evo is no go for me. Today our local shop announced that Desire S will be available at early april with a price of 448 euros. The price isnt that bad, and in fact that after the phone gets in the shop and if you wait for a few weeks the price always drops by 30 euros, so it will be even better. In fact that original Desire has price of 405 euro, so i dont think i should get old one and probably will head straight to Desire S, but ill wait to ensure Desire s has no problems for about a month.

Best phone of the moment is lg optimus dual...believe me..better hardware, good price

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] Nece228:
Im not going to go deep into dual core discussion, but you dont know what are you talking about. Current android versions doesnt even support dual cores, even when it will support it dual core cpu will gain zero performance boost in most operations, just because dual core 1ghz doesnt mean 2ghz. And seeing latest nvidia news makes me laugh, the quad core mobile cpus is just an absurd. Even on pc theres actually no programs or even video games which uses more than two cores (except for compiling and video decoding which most of you dont use), so why would we need quad core cpu on phone? The atrix users already have random rebooting issues, while snapdragon's second gen cpu doesnt have any problems at all. And from the hands on it actually feels that atrix, optimus 2x or even galaxy s2 have slight lag when switching through homescreens, but HTC phones are 100% smooth. So judging about phone's performance by looking at the specs is just silly.
[Desire General] andQlimax:
Actually i know that current android dont support multi core and i also know that 1gh dual core are not 2ghz..thanks anyway

..But android 2.4 will support multi core procesors..so if u want a phone thinking for a long period, then in my opinion that is a good choice..

"so why would we need quad core cpu on phone?" if u really think this, buy a nokia 6600 :)

u must think in future purpose, this just my opinion...if u like buy a phone every year and have money for that, then do it..i had 3 phones in the last 8 years..every time i choice a phone to have for a long time..

sorry for my english
[Desire General] ste1164:
Android 2.4 is gingerbread for every other device apart from the nexus one and nexus s and a couple more phones. 2.4 does not support gingerbread either.
[Desire General] ZaPP187:
If all ppl thought like you we would still go on horseback and there won't be any cars, planes and so on ;)

In technical terms it is NEVER relevant if we really "NEED" it, because the important thing to evolve is to think "is it possible to do"!
[Desire General] Nece228:
Definitely quad core cpus is innovation, but its just an absurd because currently even pcs dont really use more than two cores for average user. If quad cores doesnt have anything useful for pcs how could they be useful to smartphone? Sorry but blindly following whats new is just stupid. Everything has boundaries. Why nobody makes pcs with 12 cores or even more now? Because it could be totally useless so pcs now dont get anything new because its already full featured and theres nothing you can add. The same story is with smart phones, why would you need it? Are you planning to compile applications with your phone? As some people say: Talk loud, repeat that few times and people will believe it. Im not going to be victim of adverts. Everyone chooses what they like, i choose HTC just because its reliable, smooth software, not like crappy LG or Samsung which has good hardware but poor software. In fact in day to day operations dual core phones like galaxy s2 or optimus 2x felt even laggier than HTC devices. Just because their software is crap.
[Desire General] Gundam00qan:
between Apple and HTC, I'd say HTC is laggier & I have both.

I have near zero faith in LG & Samsung in software fixes. I'd rather go for Nokia for reliable hardware :rolleyes:

HTC Desire is laggy as hell for me when I was using unrooted froyo so best not to judge a phone by it's cover. (Laggy as in really sluggish performance in terms of web browsing/certain gaming lag not to mention hot as -)
[Desire General] Nece228:
You should have seriously checked your apps. All of the reviewers say that HTC Desire is super smooth (at least compared to other android handsets). While definitely its not as smooth as iphone, it gives me user power. Theres only one device which runs ios so ios is optimized for that iphone, while in comparison there are hundreds of android devices and optimizing android for every device is unpractical, so thats why android devices dont work as smooth as iphone. The reason im not choosing Iphone is the limitations and restrictions it has. Im a geek, and i want geekish phone.

Btw are you still in 2003? Forget Nokia's hardware, now its the same as others, i own few Nokias and their build quality isnt better than Samsung. New nokias are unstable and weak like all other manufacturers and thats natural because the more complex phone is the more fragile it is.

Possible Fix for Overheating HTC Desire

Hi!

I have a HTC Desire with the AMOLED-Screen, which is said to be way better than the SLCD. I did a lot of research using Google and various forums, but did not find a real fix for my overheating phone: everytime i did more than just listen to music, my phone rebooted over and over again. It did get hot in the commonly described areas (around the microSDHC and SIM-Card and the little black square), and i had to rip off the battery to make it stop. I was really annoyed since i read that i would get a replacement without the AMOLED-Screen, that is why i decided to do some testing on my own. I found out, that i had less trouble with higher workload when i enhanced cooling by putting it in the fridge for example. (Other things like changing the microSDHC did not solve the problem for me.) When it comes to computers overheating, you clean them and have a look at the thermal grease between the chips and the coolers - and that is what i decided to do to my phone. On the inside of the battery cover, there is some metal-like shield in the lower area. I guess it is there for heat dissipation - but maybe it did not have proper contact. As i did not want to clutter the phone with thermal paste, i ordered a pad on ebay (for about 2€), cut it into smaller pieces and attached it to the parts that are known to become hot (see above). Then i attached my phone to the charger and ran a lot of apps, that would usually make my phone crash (Music Player, Skype, Internet Browsing at the same time). The back of the phone grew hotter and hotter (and was, in the end, a lot hotter than anything i have encountered over the last few month with my crashing phone), but it was stable!

So, if you are annoyed with your overheating HTC Desire: This might be a fix for you:

Buy a thermal pad (as it is used for CPUs, GPUs or Chipsets, mine was about 0,5mm thick) and attach it to the metal parts over SIM and microSDHC as well as the tiny black square and the area to the left of it. Mount the battery cover and enjoy!

Hope i could help

Terminator

I also posted this in another thread, but it might be a bit easier to find that way.

EDIT: Turns out, the "fix" only delays the reboot-loop. It appears a lot more stable, yet it did still annoy me. Yesterday i handed it in for a replacement.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Eladku:
I used ODIN to Flash Darkys_v9.2_Resurrection_Edition version. It went pretty well, everything works just fine, however, my buttery seems to run out a lot faster then the stock ROM.

I performed the following steps in an attempt to resolve this:

Calibrating Battery with Darky's ROM:

1. Use your phone until the phone switches itself off (battery empty)

2. Switch on once more to make sure battery really is 0% (it will then immediately switch off once more)

3. Now, keep switched off (!), plug in charger & leave in charging until 100%

4. When battery is full, switch the phone on, unplug & check if the batter immediately drops 1 or 2 %

5. If battery immediately drops, plug in charger once more (while running phone) & let it charge completely

6. Once charging to 100% is done, keep charger plugged in & Reboot into Recovery Mode

7. in Recovery Mode go to: advanced --> Wipe Battery Stats --> Yes-Wipe Battery Stats

8. When done: Go To --> reboot system now

9. Once system has rebooted, unplug charge

but that didn't seem to work, once I booted the device after an hour and a half I lost 10~% battery already.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

One read all the millions of posts with exactly the same rom and problem .

Two read the Battery Faqs three flash a different rom as by all accounts including mine Darkys = poor battery life .

I did use the search and didn't find any answer.

if nothing works I'll try a different ROM.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Eladku:
Yup, I installed a different rom and now my battery lasts much much longer.

I am on Darky 9.3 Extreme and after 2days 7hrs 28mins 22s, I still have 28% battery with an average use of wifi, 3G, calls and messaging. I never had any battery issue of any kind. I can post images if you want to see
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Eladku:
Why won't i believe you?

For my sgs it caused severe battery issues. I found no other solution but to use a different rom.

I guess you have more luck than me
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Elle233:
Battery drain issues has been completely random, and there's not particular established trend for particular ROMs. I agree with you that I'm a bit luckier. I was on stock JS7 with bad battery drain. That was what gave me the impetus to install Darkkys, since for me, I though I would be facing similar drain, but luckily, it came out better than JS7 for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Battery drain issues has been completely random, and there's not particular established trend for particular ROMs.

Reasonably true but some roms get multiple battery drain posts others do not .

So if rom XXX has a thousand posts with problems i would steer clear ..

The battery FAQ posts all over this forum may be of some help .

basics are to drain battery delete battery stats charge battery bump charge battery a couple of times then use the phone for a week or two .

It doesn't exist. Most likely because there isn't a demand for it. I don't know why you find it necessary to turn it off while charging, but if it is so people don't bother you while sleeping then I would recommend just leaving the phone on and putting it in Airplane mode while charging.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidcelt:
Good evening,

After following various instructions to get the latest FOTA (1.84.xx.x) from Orange to work, I have been left with a phone that now will not connect on WiFi.

In the Settings page, on the WiFi setting I now just have a 'error' comment.

I think I'm going to have to try and reinstall 1.40.xx.x in order to start again.

When I tried to restore the 1.40.xx.x I receive a message that says, "main version is newer" and it tells me to simply restart.

How can I 'downgrade' a firmware version? Would it work to go through CWM?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clouds5:
How exactly are you restoring? And how did you do your backup? Imho CWM is only able to apply backups that you made with CWM. But im not 100% sure.
[Xoom General] frenzy757:
Hey guys,

I have a Xoom and recently tried to use the movie studio...maybe I can't figure it out, but I am disappointed with how generic it is.

The ability to add clips/pictures is fine, but it is annoying that I cannot trim clips before I put it into the timeline.

Also, this is huge, but why can't I put multiple audio files into the movie? It plays ONE song, over and over for the entire movie...I want to be able to trim audio clips and even MUTE the original video clip...iMovie can do all of this, and it seems like this movie studio is just a generic rushed POS that Google put out just to get it out.

Honestly, I am severely disappointed in the movie studio....BUT maybe it is my fault...thats why I am asking if there is any documentation for the studio.

Like when I click on audio files, there is one option at the top right that does not seem to do anything. It looks like a box with sound waves in it that get bigger or smaller depending if I toggle it...but it doesn't do ****.

Any thoughts?
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
It's a basic and free app included with the OS. If you want to do extended editing, get a computer or wait for a better app to come out.

And wow, comparing it with iMovie? Honeycomb is a new OS, and this is the very first offering and you're *****ing about it.

iMovie is a paid app ($5 I think) and NOT available for the iPad.
[Xoom General] frenzy757:
who cares if its a first offering...I am still disappointed in it. It is a lacking movie editor.

iMovie was Apple's first attempt at it with the IP4 on a mobile device and it was already much better than the Movie Studio...being a "first" iteration is not an excuse for something sucking.

And I dont think the movie studio has anything to do with Honeycomb...I love honeycomb
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
So put forth your money and buy one of the paid apps if you want something more.

My point, don't complain about something that was thrown in as a little bonus for free. If you paid something for it, sure, complain, but you didn't, and you're comparing it to a paid application on another system that isn't even comparable to the Xoom (iPhone vs Tablet).

And I can guarantee that iMovie on the iPad 2 is going to be at least twice as much as the iPhone version, maybe even more knowing how Apple likes to soak their users. I'm guessing $15
[Xoom General] frenzy757:
What paid one do you suggest...
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
Never needed one since I don't do much video. Check out the market?

https://market.android.com/apps/MEDIA_AND_VIDEO/
[Xoom General] android_geoff:
There's only 1 in the market and it just takes any video clip u have and you can edit that one clip

I agree with the op. Google seems to always release beta software. I would love to record a couple videos, clip them and mix them together, add more than one music track I would even pay for an app that does all this.

I don't even want to show the app to any of my apple loving friends because it just makes the xoom look even more unfinished
[Xoom General] Legacy2385:
I honestly think people need to chill out around here. The op was stating a couple things he didn't like about an app on his xoom whether it's free or not doesn't matter, he's got the right to complain about what ever the hell he wants. And furthermore he's really just asking for some type of documentation because maybe he missed something. And this lame ass excuse that because this is Google's first shot at a tablet os is starting to get old. Just because honeycomb is the first tablet os doesn't mean that google shouldn't be held accountable for their **** ups. For example, the ****ing market. Who's genius idea was it to remove the ability to comment on apps from the device? Whoever that was is an asshole. /rant
[Xoom General] inspiron41:
The video editing software is just made for basic video editing...features that you find in window video editing software.
[Xoom General] frenzy757:
exactly. Thanks.

I was stating how bad I thought it was then was asking for some/any documentation...

Does anyone know what the heck the button is on the top right when you click on the audio track? It looks like sound waves....and clicking it makes them flatter or larger but I can't see or hear what it does.
[Xoom General] inspiron41:
i'm baffled too. my first guess would be it helps eliminate crackles or background noise from your audio as my first guess. music files shouldnt have any background distortion.
[Xoom General] tomxoom:
How to get video off device?

I have another video editor. How can I get the video file off of the xoom? I have tried:

- email as attachment in gmail

- email as attachment in isp mail service

- ftp

None of these actually transmit the file.

Thank you

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoscillator:
Hi all.

I have one of the AT&T Atrix phones, and was wondering whether, when my local carrier (Telstra) bring out their own branded version, it will be possible to install the Telstra firmware over the AT&T one. Perhaps when they bring out the update to 2.3?

I know the bootloader will only allow signed firmware, but I'm wondering whether they also check whether you're trying to install firmware from a different carrier or not. If not, it could be a way to get both localised features as well as remove some of the AT&T restrictions. ;)

Any thoughts?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoscillator:
For anyone interested, it turns out that this is possible to do (but may cause reception issues because their firmware will be for the international version of the Atrix, which has different radio capabilities).

Thanks for the info. I was wondering the same thing. Could you keep us informed if you hear anything else?
[EVO 4G General] crypt0kiddie:
I'm having some issues with Fresh ROM 3.5.0.1 and doing Nandroid backups. Simply put, they NEVER WORK.

I have RA recovery and no matter what I do, no matter how many times I backup (Nandroid), no matter what version of RA Recovery I use, nothing works.

Basically what happens is that I do the Nandroid restore and then my phone just boot loops until I pull the battery. The only fix I've found is to wipe the phone and re-install completely fresh, all new. I've tried downloading Fresh ROM a few times too.

I've done this at least a dozen times, Nandroid backups NEVER work.

What exactly am I missing here?

On a side note, if I go to an older version of Fresh Rom, Nandroid backups work.
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
what version RA?

do clockwork backups work?
[EVO 4G General] crypt0kiddie:
I don't like Clockworks, I've always used RA's Recovery.

That said, any version of RA. 1.80, 2.1, 2.2, the new 2.3, all of them. I thought the issue was something to do with 2.2 or 2.3 so I downgraded back to 1.80 and I still have this issue.

Finally I figured out that Fresh Rom 3.5.0.1 was the common factor so I re-downloaded that and checked the hash, it's right so its not corrupted, reflashed, made a Nandroid, restored and poof I'm still boot looping.

The reason this is an issue is that Fresh is my daily Rom and I like to try other roms out then Nandroid back to Fresh but since 3.5.0.1, I can't. :confused:

On a side note, completely unrelated, CM7 Nightly with the google apps installed boot loops for me too right out of the box so to speak. Soon as I install the Google Apps zip, it boot loops too! Man, I'm having no luck over here! :D
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
have you tried a different sd card?
