Using Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 on a 4gb Class 10 SD card, everything runs fine except when I power the device up from sleep. When the screen is off and I press either the power button or N button to wake the device the touch screen seems unresponsive. I am unable to slide the unlock across and access the device. The temporary work around I have found is to put the device back to sleep and attempt waking it up again. Usually I can get the unlock slide to work within 5 or 6 attempts. Anyone know why this might be?
[General Questions and Answers] FNugget:
I'm thinking about learning to skin, mostly because it seems impossible for me to find exactly what I want to do so I have to do it myself. I can't get too crazy with live wallpapers and such though, as theres limited resources such as processing power and battery use. So my questions are:

How much processing and battery does it take to draw shapes, as opposed to displaying an image (from file)?

How much processing and battery does it take to slide images around, such as for switching screens?

Would I be using less resources if I used a small image and tiled it over the whole screen, as opposed to having a large picture?

Do images get drawn in layers? If I keep stacking images on top of each other, is it going to be a huge hog?

I don't mean exact amounts, just relative amounts on whats efficient for Android (for which I know very little of). I'm guessing it would perform like a browser would?

Update: Confirmed to work with any 32A / 6.35 Radio / 1.76 HBOOT

Update: Confirmed to work with any 32A / 3.22 Radio / 1.33 HBOOT

Update: Added files to devices with 3.22 Radio / 1.33 HBOOT

This guide is confirmed to work with 2.1 Magic from HTC Brazil. (32A / 6.35 Radio / 1.76 HBOOT)

I'm not responsable for any damage caused on your device.

In this guide I will tell how to enable root access, install custom recovery and eng spl (s-off) using only your phone (without a PC, ADB, SDK, etc).

This guide is targered to 32A devices with 2.1 ROM from HTC Brazil with 6.35 radio and 1.76 SPL.

1)Make sure your device is running 2.1 (eclair) Android from HTC Brazil. If not, update it:

2) Make sure your radio is 6.35.xxx and your SPL is 1.76.xxx. If you have 2.1 from HTC Brazil, you have it but is good to confirm.

3) Download UniversalAndroot-1.6. on my server:

4) Install the app and run it. Select the option "Superuser for Android 2.0 ~ 2.2" and click on "Root". You'll get a message telling that your device is rooted now. If you get a error, trye the option "Do not install Superuser". You can continue on this guide only if this step is done w/o errors.

5) Download the following files to the root of your SD Card from my server:

flash_image

Recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img (If you have 6.35 radio)

hboot_2007_signed.zip (If you have 6.35 radio)

recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0HOldRecovery.img (If you have 3.22 radio)

HBOOT-1.33.2010-signed.zip (If you have 3.22 radio)

6) Install the Android Terminal app from the Market.

7) Run Android Terminal and type su - Superuser will ask you from root permissions. Grant.

==================================================

IF YOU HAVE 6.35 RADIO

8) Type the commands bellow:

chmod +x /sdcard/flash_image
/sdcard/flash_image recovery /sdcard/Recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
exit

Close the terminal.

==================================================

IF YOU HAVE 3.22 RADIO

8) Type the commands bellow:

chmod +x /sdcard/flash_image
/sdcard/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0HOldRecovery.img
exit

Close the terminal.

==================================================

9) Power off your phoe and turn it on with "Home"+"Power".

10) Select "Flash zip from sdcard". Select the file "update-hboot-2007-signed.zip" (FOR 6.35 RADIO) or "HBOOT-1.33.2010-signed.zip" (FOR 3.22 RADIO) and confirm. After done (don't interrupt the process), press "Home"+"Back". Your phone will reboot and finish the process (don't interrupt").

When done, select "Power off".

11) Power on your phone with "VOL(-)"+"POWER" and check if you have ENG SPL (S-OFF).

Now you have "TOTAL CONTROL OF YOUR DEVICE".

For some reason my phone internet is experiencing random closures. Not the type that says that its needs to be forced closed. I tried restarting the phone and everything.

[HTC Inspire 4G] 9646gt:
Title says it all. I searched but didn't find my answer. I am running core droid and the m3 radio. I don't want to go back to stock radio bc I got crappy signal everywhere with it. In network info it only ever says I am connected to hdspa. I am still trying to figure out all these terms but my main concern is, if I flash a radio like the m3 from another carrier and country and also have a custom rom installed will the phone still be able to connect to and receive the 4g hspa+ speeds if I am on a back-hauled tower? I just wonder because it seems to me since the roms are based on the Desire and the radios are from another country it would not work right? Can someone clarify?
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9646gt:
Nobody has any comments?
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
It will only work on carriers that use 850/1900 for 3g, which is only rogers in Canada and ATT. It won't work anywhere in Europe 3g or anywhere else.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9646gt:
Thanks for replying but I actually was asking if the fact we are using roms and radios based of the desire HD hardware would prevent us from connecting to hSPA+ service on ATT. I mainly ask because I was in Los Angeles today and I am pretty sure they should have hspa+ backhauled already and the best speeds I could get with full bars and using a server 2.6 miles away was a ping of about 194 and speeds of 3.03 Mbps down and 1.27 up :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9646gt:
Okay I am beginning to think we can't access 4g with our rooted inspire. I am on att and running core droid rom with m2 radio. I just looked on the ATT site and it says LA,Ca is one of the cities that has had the complete backhual. Yet I only saw the above speeds and the only think my phone said was hsdpa never hspa+ in the network information section of the settings.
[HTC Inspire 4G] simulatordos:
I definitely can access so called ATT 4g with the M2 radio which is NOT the stock ATT radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9646gt:
Are you in one of the listed areas that has the 100% live 4g? What speeds do you get in a 4g area on a speed test? Does it show hspa+ in network info in phone settings menu? Also what rom are you on? Just trying to narrow down some stuff.Just because it shows H in the status bar doesn't mean you are actually on 4g.
[HTC Inspire 4G] simulatordos:
I'm getting anywhere from 500 to 2500 down and usually around 1000-1500 up.

The menu is meaningless from what I understand. The only thing that matters is speed and I clearly am getting so called "4g" speeds. Using the stock rooted rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9646gt:
First off MODS I think it would be best if you can move this to the DEV section as it's better suited there I would think?

Yeah those speeds are for sure not 4g. The reason I am bringing up all of this is the fastest speed that the Desire HD specs say it supports is 3g 14.4 megabits/s and hspa+ is rated at a maximum of up to 42megabits/s and even faster down the road. Now if the radios (maybe even roms) for the desire were not meant to ever support hspa+ (it doesn't say in the specs it even supports hspa+) will this mean that if we are using those radios and roms we are not going to see the speeds we should?

I know this does not seem like a big deal right now with 4g access being limited, but ATT is fastly expanding the coverage area with it's backhaul. So figureing this out before hand would be a good idea. The Iphone for example is capped at like 7.2 download because it does not support hspa+. If the radios and roms form the DHD are the same way we will be greatly reducing our data speeds.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Typically we should be able to in theory edit the build.prop to enable compatible speeds.

In theory.
[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
This is actually a great thread and point to be brought up.

Most of us aren't on an unlimited data plan so having the fastest speed is the only perk we have vs. Using edge and dumb phones.

Um coming from an unlocked Android phone which was only compatible with at&ts edge connection and that experience was less than stellar.

Hoping the Devs here in the Inspire 4G section have this in mind, and if not we can be sure to remind them.

Talking about speed, my phone is jumping from 3g to 3.5g which is a bad thing.

Will test it more thoroughly as maybe the phone is in need to be exchanged before the 30 days.

Sent from my most memorable Inspire 4G
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
your numbers seem dead on with what i get in los angeles. i havent seen higher than 3Mbps down and 1.5Mbps up all throughout the LA arrea. so i dont thin kthe ROM has any ill effect.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9646gt:
So basically just another classic case of ATT over promising and under delivering huh. I can't wait for my contract to be up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
Yeah basically. My contract has been up for years but I'm happy enough with them. But ATT is just horrible in terms of being a leader in the industry. All they do is react and follow. They had the golden chance to roll out hspa first and blow the competition away. Instead they sit back and let t-mobile do that, then copy them and play catch up "me too." For years they've done this, copy every single thing Verizon does, never once thinking of doing it first.

Especially when hspa is a rather easy software upgrade to the tower base station. Such good bang for buck and easy to implement and boost speeds to 21Mbps. No instead they let t-mobile, the network that yesterday didn't even have 3g come in and make them look silly. Sigh.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9646gt:
I couldn't agree more with you lol. I guess my biggest concern is the simple fact that the desire HD says nothing about supporting hspa+. Yet all our roms and radios we are using are from that phone. I just have a hard time understanding how hspa+ will actually still work I guess.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
build.prop.

HSPA+ is enabled in there.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Noodles5666:
Updated my Inspire's ROM to Android Revolution 4.0(stock radio) with 2.3.2 Gingerbread and am getting better speeds:
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9646gt:
I didn;t see anything at all actually for hspa+ in build.prop. Are you thinking about hsudpa?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
From what I understand about how all this works, as long as you are on the right frequency, and have the correct setting in build prop, the radio version won't matter, unlike the Captivate, which supports more frequencies and only using a radio from the European SGS will give you "correct" HSUPA.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
No. Setting ro.ril.hsdpa to 10 or 14 and up enables it. That is all it takes.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
no its in the build.prop, the line is .....hsxpa=1

and you just change it to hsxpa=2 or 3, whichever people are doing here.

from other android phones, we know hsxpa=1 gives UMTS only. hsxpa=2 gives hsdpa only. hsxpa=3 gives hsupa/hspa.

Absolutely correct.

Vibrants are no longer sold as new. You will only get refurbished units.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCrozier28:
Wrong. If you purchase a phone in store it is always brand new. You only get a refurbished device if its a warranty exchange. 3g does not come with 2.2.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] }{Alienz}{:
Most stores don't have them anymore. So I suppose if you are lucky and get one that does, yes, it will be new.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCrozier28:
So I just talked to my associate who just got a replacement vibrant the other day and she confirmed as well that her's came with 2.2. And yes, at this point T-Mob stores are receiving small shipments of OG vibrants if at all. Any of the new ones that I have received have had 2.1.

Hello,

I had to change the glass of my Mini HD because it was broken. Everything was working just fine but the glass was broken.

So, i bought a new one in the Ebay and start installing it.

Before assemble the phone again, i turn it on and test the new glass, and was working just fine.

Then I start assembleing all the pieces and when i turn it on again the top of the lcd have intercalated horizontal lines (as you can see in the pictures).

Everything else works just fine, including the touch in all the glass.

I disabamble it again, and again... take off the lcd, inspect the lcd connector, clean it... but it still like that.

Any one know what happening?

(sorry about my english)

Push the LCD Hard!, I mean your Finger and push on LCD, Harder and harder..

or roll it by your hand hardly.

because you used it before without lines, and maybe the LCD isn't fitted, So that's why I say Push the LCD above Hard, and harder. Force?
