[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcsastudent:
Hi all !!

I have a few minor problems with my DHD, the solution for which i'm looking... i'd love it if anyone could help me out. The problems :

1. Earlier when i used to dial any number on the keypad, there used to be a beep sound every time i pressed a number... now this sound does not come... i've tried all the sound settings, changed the skin to stock, and even restarted the phone quite some times, but the sound wont come back... how to get that sound back ?

2. Screen Lock Sound - Earlier, this sound used to be loud enough for me to listen to. Now, this sound does come, but it is very very low in volume... As mentioned before, i've ensured that all the volumes are at their fullest levels, but still no improvement...

3. Whenever i use WiFi, the speed of the phone becomes very slow. Whenever i exit a game after playing it, the phone takes a lot of time to recover to its full speed... what might be the cause of all this ? The Running services always shows around (80 MB in 4) on the left side and (250+200 MB in 40) on the right side..

Please let me know the answers to all these questions as they are quite nagging, especially the 3rd one...

PS : I'm still on Android 2.2... dont have the OTA 2.3 update in India yet !

thanks a lot :)

I haven't encountered the first two of your problems and the only thing I could think of would be that you have become deaf. (kidding)

I had the third problem for a while... I think it was to do with certain apps that can drain the processing speed of the phone. I had to delete and reinstall a few apps to find out what it was... might be worth a try.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren.D:
Download sound manager from market. Not all volumes are accessible with out this app. I had the same problem. Another app you may have installed has altered the keypad and lock sound volumes. Sound manager will allow you to put this right.

Hi All,

Can some one zip me the original stock gallery app?

Something changed while updating from 2.3 to 2.4 redemption ROM of Lou and now...i cannot open the pictures from the stock photo viewer , going to album from the camera app crashes the cam, though the cam works and saves fine but its not integrated with the stock photo app.... Even a third party app which needs to attach my photo to a profile fc when i try to attach the pic.

And, no i dont want the 3D gallery app(searching over could lead me only to this one), i want the STOCK HTC sense incredible app...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smilesuhas:
please help guys
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
I have the feeling that this is a bigger problem than just the app itself. I would reflash the whole ROM after doing a full wipe.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dddnnnggg:
Hi,

I was wandering if anyone could have a list or even better a screenshot of the contents of the SD Card, supplied with the phone, when the phone has nothing installed or changed (Out of the box condition).

I am about to reset the factory defaults, but i guess this would only affect the internal memory, and if i wipe out all of the data from the sd card i could probably delete something importnat, this is why i need this information.

Thanks in advnace.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
I believe that the sd card is empty out of the box and the phone will recreate folders on the sd card when you start it up after reformat. You are correct that you will lose your personal settings if you delete sd card contents. If you don't care about personal settings and want to make the phone like out of the box, then I think you can just wipe everything. I don't know what you're trying to fix, but you could do a selective backup of the data you want to restore with Titanium Backup. Like messages, phonebook, pics, call log, voice mail, apps. Then make a copy of the backup on your pc, and put it back on sd card once it's reformatted and do restore. I would also make a copy of the entire sd card before reformatting.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkanwar:
Yeah that is correct, the memory card is empty, however the phone will recreate the folders, you may however need to recreate the Music Folder but Im not too sure as when my memory card failed, I was using a custom rom. however make your backup via titnanium or my preferred method, MyBackup Root, then back up all contents of the sd card on your computer, once you formatted your sd then just insert it back into the phone, wait a while and then mount to the pc to see whats there and whats not
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asa2303:
Out of box sd is formatted and blank, phone creates folders it needs. Have deleted many of these by trial and error and phone just recreates them on reboot.

1. Black status bar

I was always very careful to avoid screen burn by using ADW launcher to hide the notification bar but I still had to worry when going into things like settings or the stock browser. Now I no longer have to worry whatsoever!

2. Great battery life

Gingerbread has been fantastic for my battery life. Before with Froyo I would have to carry a spare battery to make sure I made it through the day. With Gingerbread thats a thing of the past and I haven't had to use a spare battery even once.

3. Tube TV style power off effect

I never get tired of this. Has anyone else just turned their phone off and on to keep seeing of this cool visual effect? I love the extras Google put into GB.

4. Better keyboard

I like the stock keyboard much better than it was before. The text selection seems much more accurate and more along the lines of iPhone's perfect virtual keyboard.

5. Better battery life statistics

I love how when I reboot the phone it still shows the current battery statistics since I've been unplugged. Before with Froyo the battery statistics would completely reset if you rebooted the phone.

6. Youtube videos in portrait mode

I love the new YouTube application that comes with Gingerbread! I greatly prefer the ability to watch videos in portrait mode so that they are less pixelated

7. Wifi sleep policy fixed

I love how Gingerbread has finally fixed the wifi sleep issue. Before with Froyo even if you set the wifi sleep policy to "never sleep" it would still lose connection when you put the phone to sleep. I no longer have this problem with Gingerbread.

8. Much better text selection for copy/paste

Man I HATED having to use the trackball to select text with Froyo. Gingerbread's text selection has been a breath of fresh air and just as perfect as iOS's.

9. Nice eye candy effects of the orange highlights at the end of scroll lists

Little things like this and the power off visual really puts the cherry on top of an OS like Android and show how polished it will eventually move towards. Eye candy is almost an essential part of an OS looking great and Gingerbread is no exception.

AND BEST OF ALL.......

10. Continuous Google support for the Nexus One!!!

Wow. Google is amazing.

When the Nexus S came out I was one of the weak minded individuals that thought perhaps Google might abandon the Nexus One completely and instead focus on their new toy: the Nexus S. Oh how wrong I was :o

Google has come through and shown us Nexus One owners that while they are still terrible at giving timelines, they really do care about us Nexus One owners and have gained lifetime immunity from me doubting them for all future updates :):p:D
[Nexus One General] BiTXBoi:
Youtube videos in portrait mode are not new in Gingerbread
[Nexus One General] caysman:
Bravo!!!
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Well summarized! Agree with all those positives on my N1 with GB, and I've had no big issues! And the 5.08 radio has improved my up/download 3G speeds...
[Nexus One General] Atento:
For me, the WiFi sleep policy issues stills happening. After some minutes, I lost the WiFi connection even when it was setting to never sleep.
[Nexus One General] negroplasty:
Nice thread. I agree with pretty much everything.
[Nexus One General] chinstrap:
Black status bar is nice. (finally stock)

i have not seen this posted anywhere else, but i have a bad screen burn when text/browsing in portrait mode from the old light colored status bar from 2.1/2.2

:(
[Nexus One General] OblivioN1:
My only complaint is that I now need to turn wifi off if I'm going to be away from a wifi source for any period of time. Right after the GB update my battery life took a horrible plunge. Checking the battery history showed the android os sucking up massive amounts of battery. After a little experimenting I noticed that if I'm home where I have constant wifi I'm fine. Once I leave home the android os starts sucking battery even when phone is not on use. I found that turning off wifi solved this issue.

I'm guessing that the new wifi sleep policy has my phone constantly searching for wifi and therefore killing my battery very quickly. Not sure why this shows as android os using battery instead of wifi. Never had this issue with 2.1 or 2.2.

Other than that I love GB!

[Nexus One General] abhi0n0nakul:
right..

but i dont like the black status bar. maybe coz i ma bored of dark status bar coz i came from samsung android...lol
[Nexus One General] FLAC Vest:
I love the speed, great battery life, the orange tint, and the black notification bar.
[Nexus One General] Sinkdrain:
I love the black status bar

I love the darker themed phone/contacts. Its much easier to see in direct sunlight

Wifi handling seems better
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
Sorry to hear about that chinstrap :(

As soon as I got my Nexus One I was afraid of that and hid the notification bar with ADW Launcher. Now that GB is here I no longer have to worry but I feel bad for anyone who already has the burn in.

I put honeycomb theme on mine. Its gorgeous. Instead of orange light, its blue.

Mine has that annoying burn in on the screen to......:(
[Nexus One General] sarshadd:
in 2.3.3 is the notification light supposed to stop blinking once the screen is turned on? even if you don't dismiss the notification or anything...
[Nexus One General] RdKetchup:
Yes, and it was the same in 2.2
[Nexus One General] NPuter:
My favorite feature is the black notification bar and updated graphics....

Screen burn was an issue with the white bar - it is too late for me however, the top of my screen is already discolored....
[Nexus One General] zupernovae:
Guys, what are the differences between 2.3.2 and 2.3.3?

I saw some developer in "Android Development" using 2.3.2, and some are using 2.3.3.

I wonder what Google will give us on their next update on 2.4 :D
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
I doubt there will be a 2.4, that wouldn't make any sense since they already said the next major update will be from the honeycomb branch. That said there had better be a 2.3.4 coming soon to fix the major bugs still afflicting gingerbread.
[Nexus One General] barisrael:
The power on/off effects are pretty cool :)
[Nexus One General] tmcquake:
Great list. I absolutely agree about the keyboard. The stock gb keyboard is the most accurate virtual keyboard I've ever used.
[Nexus One General] seydhe:
For me, the best thing is that Google is really fine-tuning the whole Android system with each update.

It may not seem like much sometimes, but in the end it really adds up to make a great user experience (best example being the screen off animation, how cool is that ?).
[Nexus One General] dan1431:
While it maybe subjective my N1 feels faster and more responsive than it has is previous software updates.

I am also impressed with just how Android has evolved over time, it went from a very geeky experience to something far more mainstream.

I think Gingerbread is fantastic, but having played with Honeycomb I can't wait to see some of Honeycomb's features integrated into the next major point release of Android.
[Nexus One General] xxlikquidxx:
whenever i set pattern lock screen, i lose the TV style screen turn off or on.. Anyone having this problem?
[Nexus One General] quahog_convo:
Amen. Definitely been enjoying GB over Froyo.
[Nexus One General] FLAC Vest:
Amazing; this is the first time I have not installed a custom keyboard from the market. I have had my N1 for about a month now and I love the stock keyboard. Lol; people constantly stop and watch me text or type. I post and text a llot on my ohonne and I can type around amybe.... 70 gwam? Good stuff.
[Nexus One General] FLAC Vest:
So amazingly fast; I had this along with the Atrix and I ended up selling the Atrix because, althought it was amazingly fast, the Nexus 1 was, and still is, extremely snappy and quick ALL the time.
[Nexus One General] youngpic48:
My battery now lasts for 3-4 days....the UI and its feels snappier!
[Nexus One General] xxlikquidxx:
got my hand on a Desire HD today. This thing is huge!!!! will try it out for a quick to see if i can upgrade or stay with N1 :)
[Nexus One General] FLAC Vest:
Light flow and CPUstatusled are the programs that keep me hooked on this phone.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
CPUstatusLED rocks, but what is light flow? i'll have to search it out...
[Nexus One General] crawler9:
My screen had burn-in as well. I sent my phone in on the last day of my warranty. HTC had a crap load of tech issues getting it marked right in their systems. Something about it being the last day and it wasn't showing as under warranty, but my replacement should arrive tomorrow morning.

[Nexus One General] FLAC Vest:
Lol big phone isn't it? Coming from a 3.7 I'm sure it's a big difference for you; I felt the same way, well sort of the opposite coming from a Captivate to a Nexus one, however after rooting and installing the LCD Density changing application I'm getting the same real estate as I did with the Moto Atrix with a BETTER screen.
[Nexus One General] jmarinco:
The new integrated SIP Calls works great on 2.3.4

The battery life is a major improvement

[Epic 4G General] incisivekeith:
I did not come across this issue being mentioned, but if it has been, please point me in the right direction.

I have noticed the following behavior after upgrading/flashing to stock EB13, using ODIN:

On more than a few occassions, the phone does not ring or vibrate when a call comes in. Not only this, but the missed call no. does not display in the log of missed/received calls. This is quite annoying. Has anyone come across this?
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
I've had the same problem to. I just get a voicemail but no record of any calls in my call log and the.phone didnt ring

[Epic 4G General] BigBrotherMotown:
Lately this has been a DAILY occurance for me and im PISSED about it. I use my phone for BUSINESS and my "business" is pretty important so I cant afford to be missing calls like this.

However I think that it has something to SPRINTS service and not the device itself.

Just odin'd back to STOCK DK28 & rooted last night.....It hasnt happened since....at least not yet...LOL
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Yeah I think its sprint service too. My phone has done it on di18,dk28 and now eb13

Sent From My Evo Killer!
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
Ditto on this. I suspect it is either Sprint or it's the crappy RIL they're talking about in the CM7 progress thread. I think this mostly because I had the same problem on my Moment.
[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Same here,its happened twice today and once on my brothers Epic as we were sittin there waiting on our ride to get here and call; So he had a voicemail telling us he was outside,was there for 5m before we checkd the phone because I brught up the fact that my phone dosnt ring sometimes. That sucks.
[Epic 4G General] incisivekeith:
Is there someone who can confirm if this is an issue with Sprint's service, or the firmware? I am having a hard time believing it would be Sprint's service, as I haven't read about this issue much - this does not prove anything, but still.

I use my phone for business, too, and definitely cannot afford to lose calls, and on top of that, not even have the missed calls appear in the call log.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Actually I was just talking to my wife and to be honest I don't ever rememrher evo doing that. Also I had an evo as well and I don't remember this issue as well. Maybe it is the epic then. Anyone else??

[Epic 4G General] clubbj:
I've had that on every phone I've had with sprint in the last 10 years, sprint tech called it tower lock said if you remain for an extended period of time within one towers rande then move to another sometimes the calls won't get routed right, oddly enough when I've had it happen its not all calls, don't know if this is true or just bs from sprint, first time they had me take the battery out and wait 10 mins and it was fixed, second time they had to do something on their end and I had to update my prl

Haven't had it happen for about a year but I've since then moved and regularly travel between multiple towers
[Epic 4G General] asj2583:
This has happened to me since I got this phone. Sometimes I can be calling my chick and she right in front of me and she won't receive 2 to 4 calls till the phone actually rings. Same on the receiving end she can be calling me and no calls come thru. She'll be all pissed telling me off why I don't answer my phone and ill check to see if its on silent and no, and no calls missed. I think it samsung cause my chick has an htc evo and this **** doesn't happen to her. This will probably be my last samsung purchase.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Same.here. my wife has an evo and she gets all her calls. I don't get them and I get the same thing as you. Why didn't you answer your phone? Cause the damn thing didn't ring!!!!!

Lmfao... "Why are you not answering your phone?" This is the text from my wife about a couple hours ago.. I was at my neighbors with avg 4 bars of signal... I think my touch pro was the absolute worst with this issue.. text messages hours late and VMs with no missed calls...

I don't think that many ppl use 'slydial'.

I can tell you it isn't a Sprint thing, as my HTC Aria does this as well and I am on AT&T.
[Epic 4G General] kennethlongshaw:
Im applying for jobs right now and really need to receive phone calls. Does anyone have a fix at all for this? Ive updated the PRL and it just seems to get worse.
[Epic 4G General] Neptune5k:
Well at least I know I'm not the only one.... I've had issues since going to EB13, never noticed it on other base-builds tho.
[Epic 4G General] kennethlongshaw:
Yea its started on EB13 for me too
[Epic 4G General] meinken:
I've had this issue for years. I always presumed is was a CDMA thing. I have email, facebook, twitter, baseball news and others using 3g to check for new items. Since all these are on different timers, they may take up a not insignificant amount of bandwidth. As CDMA sends incomming calls to voicemail if you are using 3g, I thought this was what was causing the issue. But I never turned off all updates to see if the problem went away. Might be worth trying.
[Epic 4G General] kennethlongshaw:
By your logic, if I go back to JuiceDefender, the problem may be resolved to a point.
[Epic 4G General] herbthehammer:
I've had it happen from candybar and flip regular phones and dumb phones and smartphones. This is nothing new. I've experienced it for years. My suggestion is to tell people to try calling a second time. It usually gets through then. It's not the phone, its the service or technology. The phone might be in a sleeping cycle.
[Epic 4G General] bjhill2112:
QFE - Both my TP and TP2 were awful about this. Still have it happen pretty frequently with the Epic. I'm sure it's issues in the network.
[Epic 4G General] tenaciousj:
I called Sprint about this a while back. I was getting calls in a spot with good service go straight to voicemail. Its a problem with their network and from what I understand its been going on a month plus. Supposedly they're working on it.
[Epic 4G General] stilesja:
This is a cdma limitation which is aggrevated by smart phone data usage. If you are in 1x coverage when your phone makes a data connection think of that like its making a phone call. The line is used and there is no call waiting. With CDMA there is no simultaneous voice and data.

Now in EVDO coverage the limitation still exists but they added what amounts to call waiting for data connections. Your phone will ring even though you have active data but if you take the call data terminates. Under call settings there is an option called DDTM which if you select it then the 1x behavior happens all the time. So make sure that is not selected.

As it has been said these phones are opening data connections all the time however brief. If the service drops to 1x or ddtm is on your calls will hit voicemail. Its a limitation of cdma. No way around it.

4g and wifi are not affected as they use a different radio. Talk and surf all you want with them.

I went back to 2.2.1 due to Gingerbread wasn't cutting it for me. I downloaded this app called Link2SD, works just like darktreamor aps2sd. I partitioned my sd card and downloaded the app, I have over 145 mb of empty space on my phone with about 60+ apps downloaded. I have apps like swype, Barcode scanner, maps and even adobe flash on the ext2 in my sd card and they all work perfect without any delay. I even have the android market on my sd card and you can not tell the difference. I am very happy with this app. The developer has answered all my lame questions right away and much thanks to him. With all this extra space on my Nexus One i might have to keep it for another year or so. Not sure if having a great HSDA+ signal and very fast DL and UL makes any difference but try it and you will like it.
