[Vega General] ukdtweak:
Modaco has a pack that installs all the google apps, however, I only want to Calendar.

I have downloaded the r8-vega-update-modacocustomrom-unsigned.zip

From it extracted the following:

Calendar.apk

CalendarProvider.apk

GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk (already on my device)

If I run the first two (install as normal .apk), will this work? I am at work now so don't have the vega with me to test.
[Vega General] ukdtweak:
Well to answer my own question... I installed the 2 .apk files, which it warned would overwrite existing files... But now i can sync my online calendar as i wanted. ;)

I am a newbie with this, so bare with me, please. I am cooking the stock 3.70 evo rom with the kitchen. I enabled apps2sd. Can I put apps in the /system/sd folder? Or don't I put anything in the folder at all?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] djtar:
i was wondering if there was a way to make my phone a my touch3g3.5 head-jack

think its a dev phone that will work properly without the perfect spl

well if there is what are some rom that will run on a engineering spl or better yet

what engineering spl will run on cm6.1

thank in advance
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] NetrixTardis:
Please go read up on the mytouch 1.2.... there was no Eng SPL for this phone. You must run 1.33.0013/1.33.0013d. Any other SPL and the phone will not fully function.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
What he said. The phone will boot up all day long, but the touchscreen will never work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] djtar:
thank for the help lol that explains why my touch wasn't working when i did flash one lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tvall:
The 2005 spl sorta works for me. boot animation doesnt work with it and there are some other issues
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] djtar:

[Desire HD Accessories] Nadeo4441:
Hello, today my DHD fell on concrete and my screen is now cracked. :(

Everything works normally, even the display and even the touch layer. What do I need to buy to replace? I hope that it's not the display or the digitizer.

//okay, I have done some reading, and is this the part I'm looking for? http://www.htcrepairparts.com/touch...-hd-a9191-htc-ace-htc-p-3289.html?language=en

I thought there is was a protective screen above the digitizer :/
[Desire HD Accessories] DeathJester:
It sounds like the glass on which the digitiser is mounted is cracked. If it was the LCD, the colours would bleed and it would be unusable. I would say the digitiser is the piece you need.
[Desire HD Accessories] Nadeo4441:
Thanks for the reply. Are there any disassembly videos around? Can it be done at home?
[Desire HD Accessories] andersskov:
Dont know about the dissasembly guides but I have tried to replace digitizer on my Diamond and Diamond 2. On the Diamond 2 everything went quite smooth - no problems (if you are very carefull). On my Diamond the LCD and Digitizer were kind of glued together - and I broke the LCD while trying to separate them.

I found this for the Desire. This looks very much like when I did the Diamond 2 - and if our DHD is like the Desire then I think you have a chance.

Good luck.
[Desire HD Accessories] MatteFugger:
having the same problem with my Desire HD - there are a few cracks in the display after slightly stepping on it :-( so I went to a few shops in Germany and asked for repair...

Some of them were stating the repair will be quite expensive, as Display and Glass plate are glued to eachother...

In my case it would explain, why the class is not falling of...

So also for me it is that the touch is fully operational even where I have the cracks

The display is OK as well

So I still have no clue where to get this Unit (Glassplate+Display) I live in Ireland so ordering online would be the best option...

Thanks in advance for any information

[Desire HD Accessories] rossysaurus:
theres a diassembally guide on youtube, just search for it.

if its going to cost too much you might be able to claim a new one on your home contents insurance.
[Desire HD Accessories] raidenxl:
Those are pretty expensive! just curious but how have your screens cracked? they seem pretty durable to me

[Desire HD Accessories] smartanks:
Thanks i thought i would have to throw away my phone
[Desire HD Accessories] MatteFugger:
I wasn't sleeping at home... when I woke up I was confused... put my foot out of the bed..... I heard the slight sound of a glasplate cracking - lift my foot - it was to late...

multiple cracks over whole display with its centre in the bottom right corner

so I have about 15% of the glas cracked that I'd call unusable - touch works anyway but its hard to i.e. read a text on this part of display...

in general it's not too bad and disturbes not much - getting used to it
[Desire HD Accessories] DP4:
I've just had same problem, dropped my phone on concrete and the glass screen cracked. LCD was ok.

After hours of research there are hardly any guides on how to do this and there is only 1 you tube video on how to disassemble the desire hd and that is not too good.

I bought a digitzer and tried to repair it myself but found it almost impossible to remove the old digitzer from the lcd without damaging it. You need a special oven to melt the glue, a few people said a hair dryer works as well but it did not do much for me. I took it into a local phone shop but they stuggled to do this as well,

I ended up having to get a new lcd as well and now have the phone all sorted and working again.

Cost me about £100 in total
[Desire HD Accessories] Doktaphex:
Link for disassembly, strange vid.

[Desire HD Accessories] robinmobile:
dont try to dissamble it by yourself. you will lose your phone totally.

i watched the youtube sissambling video and i must say it is hilarious ....

in a certain step you have to put in a oven?
[Desire HD Accessories] BillTheCat:
The DHD is rumored to be one of, if not THE most difficult HTC phones to service. I know it might be expensive, but you probably would be better off paying a professional to do it.
[Desire HD Accessories] Lizzo:
i'm a cellular tech, and i must agree..the DHD is a piece of work to disassemble lol.. but after once or twice, its gets easy ;)
[Desire HD Accessories] MatteFugger:
I ordered a TOUCH SCREEN (DIGITIZER) for HTC DESIRE HD A9191 /HTC Ace (HTC) for about 43 € including shipping and for sure I will try to fix it myself :-) I'm optimistic!!!

Anyway, if someone have experiance in doing this any advice is very welcome. Thank you!!!

For the part, when the display have to be heated up to 60 degree, I had this plan: either you have an oven you can adjust the temperature exactelly. As |I do not have this I got a kind of thin pan with a flat ground... there I place the display on it... than I take a huge pot fill it with water and heat it up messuring the temperature of the water. Now I place the pan into the pot - let it "swim" on the water. with a bit of care, to not make the display wet, this is easy way to make sure you do not heat it to much - temperature of the water is easy to control....

comments are welcome

Thanks, der Matte
[Desire HD Accessories] nm8:
Do you have a video ?
[Desire HD Accessories] pappuakachikku:
My friend has a cracked screen..I guess the LCD is broken since all the colors were leaking..

now it has become entirely unusable since there's very little display that can actually be seen
[Desire HD Accessories] Deval B:
You can get it replace from HTC service center
[Desire HD Accessories] mndgme:
I actually got my new Inspire from a friend that had dropped it and just the glass shattered and the digitizer still worked as the phone is still being used as I type. Fairly cheap to fix but it doesn't even bother me that much and with the right wallpaper you can barley notice it all. Bought a larger capacity battery before the glass...lol. But does suck, but free phone someone was going to throw away when only a minor part being needed.....WIN.
[Desire HD Accessories] coolyahya:
Lcd is okay

Only the mirror has been broken i think so ,if the LCD had been broken then the colors would have been spread though ,so this is not a huge prob just go to the market and change it :)

Click thanks if i am indicating the real prob :)
[Desire HD Accessories] Kimble89:
You can also search in eBay for a new screen and try to fix it yourself:)) its not very complicated.

[Desire HD Accessories] Grant Barker:
Here's a quick review of the SoftBank TPU Case for the HTC Desire HD.
[Desire HD Accessories] 917:
Thanks for the review, I ordered one from Asia after seeing this. I don't like the cases they sell on Amazon this seems to be something I am looking for ! :)
[Desire HD Accessories] Blitzed_Penguin:
Thanks for the great review. I bought a TPU case from ebay but since I always took it off and on to swap batteries it started to stretch out and not fit any more.

After reading your review I bought the SoftBank TPU case and it is WAY better and a little firmer so it does not stretch at all so should last a lot longer. Thanks again.
[Desire HD Accessories] Grant Barker:
Thanks a lot Blitzed_Penguin and 917. It's nice to get some positive feedback from any of these reviews.
[Desire HD Accessories] 917:
No problem at all :)

I will let you know what I think about the case once I receive it.

I'm currently used to quality switcheasy cases , but they only do them for apple products. :)
[Desire HD Accessories] 917:
As I said I will be reporting about my experience on this case.

Packaging: Well it came in a little plastic wrapping , so its basically the case on its own. Which does not matter because its simply a case who cares for the look of it

Feeling: the case somehow a mixture of plastic and silicon. You can basically bend it but it still is much sturdier than a normal silicon case. Nevertheless the outside of it has a plastic feeling and not silicon. I really like that as I hate silicone cases.

The case definitely gives you some additional grip.

The backside is like 30% transparent on my grey/black case. I also like that because I had a scratch when my phone dropped.without the case and its not visible now.

The bevel around the phone is much more transparent and has a silicone like feeling. The transition between the back and the bevel is a little bit Sharp on some places of my example.

Usage: the biggest downside for me is the hard to press power button. It is really awkward. On the other hand the volume buttons improved imo. I used to press them inocassionaly. And now they are just fine. The cuttings are also good also it seems like the camera is standing out a little bit.
[Desire HD Accessories] Grant Barker:
I'm still using mine. Good case.
[Desire HD Accessories] 917:
I just noticed that mine is a little bit different to yours. I might post pictures later ;)

I got it on for now, I will be looking how well it performs.
[Desire HD Accessories] Grant Barker:
Hi guys.

I'm giving this case away at the end of the month.

It is boxed and was only used for the review.

If you want it - drop me a pm with a delivery address.

First come first served. (I only have the one of this case.)

Please only ask if you can generally benefit from it.

As soon as I see a PM - I'll update this thread.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jifeng2b:
Recently I have found many people that want to send their mobile phones to factory to change basebands.While they got to know that the baseband of their phones will be modified, they are even happier.

TO change basebands is not simple thing。The engineers would not take out the old baseband chip and plug in a new one。 A BGA rework is necessary to modify the baseband chip。First, all these processES will be done in the environment of more than 400 degrees Fahrenheit. And the engineers need to take out the baseband chip and embed a new one。It is harmful for the mobile phone to stand such circumstance.

And the mother board is near the brink to be destroyed.

So I suggest customers who encountered such problem should try to get a new one.. I think flashing the radio will solve the problem. And many problems of baseband lost can be solved in this way
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] s76x:
hi to all,

I've a question for my galaxy s...I've buy the Power Pack EBB-U10 but I've see that the orignal phone case with the power pack isn't fully protected...so I've try to put the phone in the power pack with a silicon case protector but it is too thick and the phone not enter correctly on the power pack. Anybody know if exist a ultra slim silicon case protector that I can use with ebb-u10?

Helllo everyone!

Which kernel do you prefere between those two and why?

I found a little less graphics power experience with Damian's one.

Got 860 points in Quadrant for 3D vs Insane's 930 (both on stock 1GHz- No O/C)

What do you think?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themate1987:
Try linpack and/or smartbench......i personally prefer insane kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Auzy:
Forget about benchmarks.. Just try them both out..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leegalaxy:
I personally was a little gun shy in trying Damian's Kernel because it was all over the noob threads and as a bit of a noob myself I try to avoid those threads as to not get tainted... However, Ultimate Kernel is great. To be fair, I have only tried Insane Kernel along side the Insanity Rom which I wasn't too impressed with so I have not tested them fully but Ultimate Kernel has some great features.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
For me Damian's kernel is faster and smoother than any other kernel I have tried, but it is a very individual...and comparing benchmarks between phones is utterly useless Flash each one for a few hours and see which feels best to you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themate1987:
Damian kernel i currently best for me

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] sqltechnet:
Record on HTC FM Radio

Finally it works!!! Have tried about every app on the Market. I installed TapeMachine app from the Market. Start TapeMachine app and press record, turn on the stock FM Radio on my HTC Sensation and tune in a station and you are recording. The music does not stop playing in the ear buds like other sound recording apps I have tried. With the paid version it has a built-in mp3 converter.

This will work until HTC gets it together and updates the stock FM radio with a record function.

[HTC Inspire 4G] zerocalories:
So i've been using speedtest.net's app to test my download and upload speeds and noticed something. I am in Houston and before I would either test to a local server here or in austin/dallas area. But now whenever I test it's putting my closest server as being in NJ. Even with the NJ server set, I'm getting about 1.4 down and 1.2 up.

Just wondering if this is something that is common, or should I try another test app that would be more accurate in my location.

Anyone else having this issue?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
I haven't noticed this issue. I'm in Arkansas and my server is always in Dallas. The only other speed test app I know of is "FCC Mobile Broadband" (without quotes, of course). I don't know if it is any more accurate, but the last time I had it on my phone, the server was always in Washington.

Via the XDA app for the HTC Inspire
[HTC Inspire 4G] tdesbien31:
Yes, I noticed the same problem, my server was way off, and the closest server to me (Lawrence, KS) was listed as 900miles away even though Lawrence is 20 miles away... Odd....
[HTC Inspire 4G] californiarailroader:
It sounds like GPS isn't locating you properly, does the GPS lock on when you start up the App?
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
I thought it had to do with where your IP address was registered. Even though you may live in one place, ATT is getting their IP addresses from somewhere else, so when you connect to the speed test, it looks to see where your IP is coming from, not necessarily your device
[HTC Inspire 4G] californiarailroader:
When you start up the Speedtest.net app, the GPS pops up at the top and tries to determine your location, if it can't you will end up getting cities far away from you, like people have seen. I let the GPS locate me, and it finds the nearest servers to me, which are located 120-150 miles south of me in the SF Bay Area.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zerocalories:
Ahh..I have had GPS disabled, dur, during this and tested again.

I tested against Austin and Dallas and now have even stranger results.

Both Austin and Dallas test gave me about 160K download but @1.0M upload.

I am on AR3.0 if that matters. Might be my location but my upload looks great, download not so much.

Just when u think its the perfect phone.....

after reading alot about it, i tried installing incall plus beta from the market and also no lock....but it helps sometimes....so its not a fix .....please help me...if recalibrating the screen helps...tell me how to do it...i think its a software issue...some developer mate,,,look into it....
