The Gingerbread keyboard is very slick, but the Spanish prediction is driving me mad when it comes to accented vowels.

For example, let's say I want to type the word "salí" (with an accent), as in "I went out".

I tap out the letters s - a - l - i (no accent).

If I'm using the HTC_IME, I get the following suggestions:

Sali Salí Dalí Salir

The correct choice, "Salí", is selected by default. It gets placed on the text field if I simply press the spacebar.

If I'm using the Gingerbread keyboard, I get the following suggestions:

Sali Salud Salida Saludé Salu2

If I scroll to the right I get about 3 more groups of suggestions, none of which is "Salí". And yes, I have already typed out "Salí" manually to make sure it's in the dictionary...

Any ideas? If I could simply make the Gingerbread prediction work like the one in HTC_IME I would be happy.

Thanks

Every time I try FF a song via PowerAmp I the voice dialer redials my last called number.

I tried to swap the buttons/commands in power amp but it then opens up the voice dialer for me to speak a contact.

How can I uninstall the voice dialer or have it not tied to the wired headset?

thanks Kevin

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Maxcima:
I've recently semi bricked my HTC Wildfire so that I can only get into Hboot/fastboot. No recovery or system boot. After doing some research I've found that using a the gold card method would be a way to recover my phone.

However, not being able to get into the phone means no adb which cancels out the initial method of gaining the CID to create a goldcard. Is there another way to do so? I have a windows mobile 6.5 device (LG Eigen) lying around here if that would be of any use in getting the CID so I can create a goldcard and fix my Wildfire.

Thanks :)

Wondering if there is a Wi-Fi calling app available for this phone (similar to what the TMO G2/Desire Z has).

Low service area in one place but I have a wireless network available. Doesn't have to be on the app store, I have no problem rooting/custom rom/sideloading.

Thanks!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] fletch33:
i realize there are already threads on this but rather than have this post lost on page 3 or post 57 i thought i would post a new thread from what i learned tonight. i am SO for searching before posting and not for creating new threads when existing ones exist that if any MOD here feels this is not relevant of a new thread then please move it or whatever into an existing thread.

ok here is what will help others that catch it before i did but now i will have to start over again next time :(

i SBF'd thinking it would be needed (locked and no root) for update 3.0.1 and so after i didnt get the update i went ahead and unlocked, root, and updated myself to 3.0.1.

i choose not to install from backup with Google this time and was installing everything for from scratch and as you know it doesn't install your apps and you have to search/remember the free ones to get them back.

anyway

i had installed about 10 apps then Titanium installed and i checked it and realized that everything i installed after i installed Titanium showed up as apps in Titanium as installed.

so i uninstalled all my apps prior to Titanium install and reinstalled them all and sure enough they were there in Titanium as installed apps YEAH!!!

everything was there and my thought was to go ahead and set all my app passwords etc.. up so that when i backed up with Titanium it would be as i wanted and easy to restore.

here is where i messed upped but would have had no idea until after i did it.

i installed Spare Parts and turned off Compatibility Mode so that my non-Tablet apps would be full screen and to make this take effect i needed to reboot.

the reboot caused me to loose all my listed apps in Titanium and i was back to square 1 :(

if i had done a backup before i had rebooted i would have had everything because Titanium recognized them before my reboot.

so if i had it to (and probably will) do all over again i would:

1. unlock

2. root

3. choose not to backup from Google

4. installed Titanium

5. installed all my apps (checking Titanium along the way to be sure)

6. ran all the apps i installed with names, passwords, etc.. to set them up

7. backed up Titanium

8. install spare parts etc..

9. then reboot. THE KEY is not to reboot until you have everything backed up.

this would have saved me from starting over again until something better like a fix or solution came along.

hope this helps others :)

i have unbearable static on my hd2. i sent it to htc repair 2 times and they never fixed the problem. i cant use this phone if it keeps getting static. is there a way of eliminating the static? if not, then i'll have to sue htc for failing to repair it since they havent lived up to the warranty.
[HD2 General] Skellyyy:
Static as in you can't touch the phone as it shocks you or static as in when you're around electronics, they'll make a static sound over your phone?
[HD2 General] koolxx:
static as in static noise. everytime i call someone, theres always static noise. and whats really idiotic about htc is that the repair rep told me that they always test out the phones after they "repair" it. what a joke!
[HD2 General] koolxx:
Ok everyone, i got the phone yesterday again from htc repair. and guess what? the phone is still NOT REPAIRED. whats wrong with htc? its been twice so far that i sent in the phone. and they didnt even replace it!

i told the lady rep this morning that they didnt repair it and that its been twice that i sent it. at this point i told her that i'll send the phone in a third time.. but that i better get a replacement or i'm suing.
[HD2 General] apallohadas:
You'll spend more on a lawyer, paperwork, and the effort in proving that *Your* phone was the problem (and not your provider).

That being said, when it comes to a faulty product that's still under warranty, you'll get more 'flies with honey than vinegar.' Stop trying to threaten them with lawsuits and just keep sending it back till either they send you a working model, your provider stops sucking, or they offer you a refund or another phone model.

Customer Service reps hear "IZ GONNA SUUU!" all the time, and they stop trying to help you the minute you say it. My advice? Stop saying it and keep working the system to your advantage.
[HD2 General] koolxx:
no, no,.. suing a company in small claims doesnt require a lawyer. if the cost of the phone doesnt exceed a small claims minimum, like $2,500 in nyc (depending on your state), you can file a claim in small claims.

its obvious that you dont know business law. i'll explain. since htc didnt fulfill the warranty, which has been passed to the new owner (me), they are obligated by law to repair it. by law, if a company doesnt satisfy warranty, the injured party has grounds to sue. a warranty is a business contract between parties. in this case, htc broke that contract.

and i'll threaten htc as much as i want since i have that right and dont need permission from you to do so. your tactic of keeping to send back the phone until htc wakes up doesnt work.. it hasnt worked in my case. and why should i waste my time constantly sending in my phone? only cowards do that. believe it or not, customer service exists to lessen the risk of litigation.

my advice? stop defending the company and defend the victim. it looks like youre a fan boy. drop the htc ass kissing and open your eyes.
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
Have you ever tried to load HSPL onto your phone to change the radio-rom? Different radio-roms perform differently; some will not work well in your particular location, which could be a reason for static in your calls.

~~~

Just to weigh in on the consecutive posting 'conflict':

I find it easier and cleaner to view one post with 2-3 quotes and accompanying responses, rather than viewing 3 separate response-posts by the same person. In some ways, I'm sure multi-quoting also saves space on XDA.

Nevertheless, the trolls really should stop posting in this thread. If the OP wants to sue, let the OP sue. Additional sarcastic and disrespectful posts are unnecessary, especially if at least one person already did it.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Hey koolxx to change the SPL on your HD2 to HSPL you need to download HSPL 3 or HSPL 4 by DFT. Depending on if you ever want to try to install a NAND Andriod ROM or Window phone 7 is the only factor in deciding wich one to download. HSPL 3 only goes up to HSPL 2.08 wich is what is needed to flash MAGLDR to your HD2 as MAGLDR only supports up to HSPL 2.08 right now. HSPL 4 goes all the way HSPL 3.03 but it is only good for flashing custom Windows Mobile ROMs and deferent radios right now.

After you have made your choice and have down loaded one of the HSPLs. Turn your HD2 off and then hold down the volume down button and tap the power button but continue to hold down the volume down button. This will bring up the bootloader (tri color screen) when you see bootloader you can release the volume down button. Once in bootloader connect your HD2 to your computer via USB cable and wait for the Serial in the white bar at the bottom of the phome screen to change to USB. When you see USB then you can run the utility by DFT for HSPL. The DFT utility will ask you what version of HSPL you want to install choose either 2.08 or 3.03 depending on your personal wants or needs as stated above. Also make sure you select HSPL and not SPL (hint you don't want one that has four zeros at the end). You should see a screen saying we hacked it when the HSPL is sucessfully installed. To check and see if the HSPL is installed simple cut your HD2 off and put it into bootloader and it will tell you your SPL or HSPL also you should see by Cottula in bootloader if you have HSPL installed.

One last thing though. I think you said you are in NYC so you should have a TMOUS HD2 (T-Mobile HD2) The TMOUS HD2 is not like it's EU cousin. It can not be flashed with any old radio version. You have to use a radio version that has a 50 in the third set of numbers example 2.15.50.14 notice the position of the 50. If you flash a radio version with a 51 in that spot it will brick your HD2. As all rules go just about there is an exceotion to this rule. Do not use a radio version that has these numbers in it 2.04.50.xx or 2.05.50.xx as they were used in the test devices for the TMOUS HD2 but also used in regular HD2s as well so they will also brick a TMOUS HD2.

Hope this helps you out koolxx. :)
[HD2 General] meptik:
Note: flashing HSPL voids your warranty. If you're planning to send it in for further repairs, be aware that you'll have to remove HSPL and restore your phone to a stock SPL+ROM+radio combination before doing so. Not that difficult, but does add some extra work.

Also, at the risk of being labelled a troll, fanboy or HTC employee: either sue HTC or don't, but just threatening to sue will get you nowhere. Do you honestly think anybody you may have talked to actually cares? No matter how pissed of you might be, remaining calm and friendly will get you much better support.
[HD2 General] koolxx:
thanks, T-Macgnolia. but i think this will void the warranty and will stand against me in my potential case against htc. but, i appreciate the help nonetheless..
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Yes koolxx flashing HSPL will technically void the warranty on your HD2. But if you still have to send it in to HTC all you have to do is run the HSPL 4 utility by DFT to revert it back to the original SPL. You see the HSPL utility by DFT allows you to pick what version you want to install inckuding stock SPL versions too. So you are good to give it a try if you want to try a different radio but if it does not help make sure to reflash the original radio you had and then remove HSPL before sending your HD2 back in for repairs.
[HD2 General] the_scotsman:
Thread cleaned. No more nonsense/trolling posts. If you have nothing helpful to say, don't post at all.

@OP...saying you'll sue HTC is just asking for trolls...don't make this kind of claim unless you are 100% serious about it...
[HD2 General] koolxx:
the_scotsman, i am seriously thinking about suing htc. i'm not kidding. i never thought this claim would bring so much fanboyism. why would i waste my time and others by making this claim if i'm not serious about it?

also, i shouldnt have to limit my free speech at the whim of trolls. doing so suggests that trolls rule this forum and that you and the other mods are powerless against them. in light of this and with all due respect, instead of reprimanding me through my freedom of speech, why dont you replrimand the trolls themselves who are the ones creating the problem in the first place? theyre the trouble makers, not me. again, i'm saying this out of total respect to you. i'm sure youre a cool guy trying to maintain order here and i dont blame you. but try to understand my stance as well.. have a good one and thanks.
[HD2 General] maxawesome:
Mod Edit: You obviously didn't bother to heed my warning.
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
I recommend that you update your profile to indicate nationality and phone carrier, it will lead to better advice as to what legal options are available in your country - and give better responses overall!
[HD2 General] koolxx:
yeah good suggestion.. but i already know the legality surounding my issue. and i got a friend who's a commercial lawyer and hes giving me some advice which is positive. and hes also told me that hes seen hundreds of cases where average people hurt by the injustices of big companies, successfully sued these big companies and won.

sharing my story here is like a release for me. and will likely get others to be aware of how these big corporations act. thanks for the heads up.. i wish i didnt have to go thru legal channels since i love this phone, but htc forced my hand. well, htc will bite the bullet big time.
[HD2 General] HectiQ:
Doubt that htc will even feel anything of your lawsuit, unless you live in the USA. Overthere, some judges make the most random verdicts.. Furthermore, if no real physical harm has been come to you, the phone producer will most likely have to give you a symbolic dollar or at best, a new phone, and you will end up carrying the costs of the trial, because even if you win, you won't gain a thing, might lose more.. But you are free to try, I'm interested :) you got my attention. From my personal advice, I would advise you not to.
[HD2 General] koolxx:
i dont care if htc will feel anything about the lawsuit or not. who i care about is me, the victim, not htc, a rich company. and i live in the usa. and i dont know where youre from, but in the usa, a warranty serves as a legally-binding contract between buyer and seller. this gives the injured party rights that im sure dont exist in your country. you dont need physical harm to sue, so i dont know what youre talking about. in my case, htc broke the law by breaching the warranty by not repairing the phone.

and, if you really were interested in my issue as you mentioned, you wouldve read the part where i said that suing anyone in small claims court doesnt require any fees outside registration fees where in nyc is $20. i wish you did some research before making a claim about something you obviously know nothing about.

and from your post it seems that consumers are powerless to corporations in your country. i wish your people werent so scared of corporations. i'm not. i understand theyre powerful in your country and wield a lot of power. but i wish you could take legally take a stand against their injustice. i guess i'm VERY lucky living in the usa where we have laws that offer consumer fairness that underdeveloped countries lack. and i wish you werent so negative.

Is there any way to integrate the Android like taskbar notification shade that you can drag down into winmo 6.5?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] swaters3:
a while ago i was lloking for something to make the taskbar more useful. I found wk task which was i think originally for winmo 5 works great on 6.5 though some functions are not needed as much. The main thing i use it for is basically a task manager. it shows little icons of programs ruuning. you can click to open it and click to close it. there are many options that after palying around with the settings for a while you can figure out. it also has a launcher which is what these days on 6.5 are not needed though could be fun. it works with swiping motions. the other nice things is a battery meter which is a thin line above the taskbar. you still get your notifications in win 6.5. if you have any questions let me know.

Dear android devs,

Please make an app that uses a combo of speech to text and google translations, and than it reads back out. I.e say hello in english into phone, user selects eng-spanish, phone says hola
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Umm, that already exists. Its called Google Translate. If the speech input option is not present, you need to install Voice Search from the Market.

[HD7 General] JoeyStorm:
Hey guys,

I have an unlocked HD7 from Bell and I'm using it under Rogers right now. I have a problem where my incoming SMS are behind by 5 hours. (They come right away but the stated time on them is off by 5 hours).

I tried fiddling with the timezone settings to match the times but then it messes up my calendar times.

Does anyone know if there is a fix for this?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Joey
[HD7 General] gwoo_ca:
Anyone figure this out?

I am 2 hours out (thinking it has to do with where the Bell SMS center is located)

hoping someone can figure out a fix

I am in Calgary, AB, Canada and using Fido if that makes a difference. I am thinking I could update to a different ROM, anyone know if that will work and what ROM I should choose?

thanks in advance
[HD7 General] lynxz3:
This is a known issue at Microsoft i mentioned it to them when i went there for an interview as well the only way to fix it is by doing the following.

1) goto Settings> Date & Time>

2) Turn off "set automatically"

3) Set Time Zone to "UTC Coordinated Universal Time"

4) Manually enter the correct time in the "Time" field

5) Adjust the date if you have to.

And Save and restart your phone this should fix the issue its not an actual fix but it works.
[HD7 General] gwoo_ca:
Well I took your advice and changed the timezone to UTC - 03 (then manually set the time)

Seems to have done the trick; will just have to remember to adjust for time zones I guess

thanks
[HD7 General] gwoo_ca:
Wait; spoke too soon

that messed up all the times for my email, the emails are all time stamped 3 hours in the future.

Oh well, guess I will just never have that "Perfect" phone.

Just annoying as this HD7 is probably the best phone I have ever had but there are so many of these annoyances...
[HD7 General] yiannisthegreek:
What email are you using on the device? Outlook or just a standard Hotmail / Live acct? I will be unlocking my Bell HD7 very soon to use it on Rogers as well and I do not use Outlook so if the fix above sorts out the TEXT issue and does not bother my "Hotmail / Live" email then I will be a happy man however... I dont really use my email on my phone that much anyways so I guess as long as this fixes the SMS timestamp issue then I should be fine.

At any rate... If you could let me know anyways I would appreciate it.

***EDIT*** I tried this today after unlocking my Bell HD7 and running it on Rogers and it did not work at all. Now instead of the time stamp being 4 hours slow, it is now 2 hours fast using Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). Anyone else know how to get a proper time stamp on SMS after unlocking and using on a different network?
[HD7 General] gwoo_ca:
I just gave up and am now licing with a 4 hour tamestamp issue on my text.

my email, calendar and everything else works so this is just something I guess I have to live with. Not that bad

Email via hotmail & yahoo using the WP7 email program
[HD7 General] jbuck1975:
My EVO does the same thing. Only when my cousin sends MMS he's on cricket. It has also done it when the towers messed up in my area.
[HD7 General] yiannisthegreek:
Ya... Same with me. I gave up as well and am now living with the timestamp issue on my texts, mms, etc... My outgoing texts go out at the right time and are being received by the recipients at the right time but when I receive a text it is out of wack.

What I dont understand is that when I get a text and I get the "toast notification" at the top of my phone, the time stamp there is CORRECT but when I open my messages and look at the actual message itself it is out of wack. WEIRD!!!

Does yours do this as well?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suition Shinobi:
Hi,

I was flashing a new CM7 theme on my 2 weeks old DZ (with CM7 RC 2 running fine) but the phone got stuck at the CM bootscreen. I tried rebooting multiple times by repeatedly pushing the power button and holding it. After a few failed attempts I pulled out the battery, and after putting the battery back in and trying to power it on the phone did nothing. No matter which buttons I pushed or held in.

I tried plugging it in to the power adapter, but the Power LED's don't even go on (neither the orange or the green one). The battery was at approx. 60% when I rebooted into recovery to install the theme zip, so there should be enough power left in the battery.

When I plug the DZ onto my PC (Windows 7 OS, with eclipse and Android SDK installed and working), the PC looks for a QHSUSB_DLOAD driver. I tried looking for the device through ADB but it doesn't see it.

Please help me guys, I've had the device for only two weeks now.

PS: I'm a noob

Oh dear, that doesn't sound promising. Good luck!! We feel for you.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suition Shinobi:
Anyone knows what steps to undertake to maybe revive the phone. I don't think it's totally dead since it's somehow still being detected by my PC. I just can't find that so called QHSUSB_DLOAD driver.

If I can just somehow get it to connect to ADB then I might be able to get into Hboot or recovery.

Perhaps, donno for sure, it could help you
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suition Shinobi:
I hadn't, but already had these drivers on my PC. And before it got bricked my DZ connected fine with the PC (I flashed it using ADB and had setup Hboot and recovery). My PC just can't seem to find any drivers for this so called QHSUSB_DLOAD. It doesn't matter wich folders I choose to look for drivers. Nothing is available through internet either.
