sounds like you tried to flash the big .zip (won't work) then you unzipped the individual's and tried to flash?

You need to unzip the big pack, then flash the individual .zip's in CWM (you don't unzip the individuals, leave them as .zip then flash - you can go one after another until you're all done, then reboot)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icarianecho:
Brick'd's SMS call log fix in the Dev section got me wondering about the SMS notifications tied to voice mail in the i9000-based 2.2.1 ROM's (or at least in Darky's).

More specifically, any time voice mail gets interacted with (a caller leaves a message, I call in to check voice mail, etc) I receive the following SMS:

//VVM:SYNC:ev+MBU

Installing & uninstalling visual voice mail does not seem to correct the issue.

Anyone know how to remove this feature?

This question has been asked several times in the ROM thread & I haven't seen it answered there yet. I might just be blind, but ...

Thanks!

*Note: I've overlaid the black i9000 theme, so I haven't yet tried pushing AOSP SMS because I would prefer to preserve the theming.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corpsetomb:
Try this:

1st: try uninstalling and reinstalling the visual voicemail app.

If that doesn't work

2nd: go to mytmobile website and try disabling and reenabling visual voicemail

If that doesn't work:

3rd: Call 611, they will disable and re-enable visual voicemail.

i have gotten two black dots on every picture i take with the camera, and they are getting very annoying! does someone know why they are there or how i can remove them?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
Are they in the same place in every photo you take?

If so it looks like you may have some kind of contaminates on your lens / sensor.

I'd send it back to HTC and they should fix or replace it for you.

If it was a DSLR you could use a Rocket Blower to try and shift them but I don't think it would do much good on the tiny DHD camera :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frozenblade:
yes they are. i'll send an email to the shop i bought it in and hear what they say about it :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkolev:
Most likely dust on the sensor. Was it like that when you bought the phone?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frozenblade:
no it wasn't
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkolev:
Usualy dust on the lenses appear as bigger blurred spots. Those sharp edges on the black spots should mean that there is something wrong with the sensor (dust or a faulty sensor). The fact that they appeared at a later stage is truobleing - it could mean that the sensor is not sealed properly. Have you tried to take a picture at a bright light souse (a lamp for example) to see if they are still visible. If they are that should mean sensor failure. Are they visible while taking the shot or while shooting a video?

Anyway, you should take it for repair, they have to do something for that, but if you are rooted, S-OFF and/or have installed custom ROM, be sure to return your phone to stock condition, because they will void your waranty if they see you have done these things to your DHD.

It always takes me through the worst most dangerous side streets and neighborhoods in Detroit. Then when I get to my destination it's like 1 block away from the freeway. It's very important to stay on the freeway as long as possible when traveling in Detroit. Android GPS insists on taking me through crack dealer and prostitute hangouts. These may be more direct but the freeway is faster and safer. Google needs to do something about this before they get someone killed.

I just purchased a GTab from 6th Ave for $354.24 incl shipping/tax. I am new to the Android market. Whats involved to get Android 3.0 loaded on the GTab and/or some other toys to get the GTab in optimum shape ?

Thanks in advance for suggestions.:D
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
I see you're new to the forum, so welcome.

May I suggest for now you do some more reading and less posting. Asking questions about Android 3.0 is a sensitive subject. There is a thread dedicated to Honeycomb. We need to let the developers focus on what they do best. All your questions can be answered by reading the forums.
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
What do you want to use it for? Gaming/ toy, business/ school? I would say jump on the search function in the general and apps/themes forums. Tons of posts about the best apps to use for the function your looking for. All sorts of cool info just dieing to make it into your brainpan, through your semicircular face holes, with just a few tappy-taps on the screen of your new toy.

Might I suggest starting by finding the galaxy tabs email app that was ported for our tabletd. Its the best and all you have to do is use the search tab in the apps and themes thread.

Good hunting :-)
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
dekkars,

Actually, if you could go back to where some of us were when we started with the G-Tablet and poor software -- you'd be amazed at how good the software is now.

Truthfully, I have one tablet on TNT Lite (I like Vegan too) and one stock -- and if you can update to 3588 and maybe even the not yet out 3991 -- you may find that that ain't too bad for a stock tablet.

Take the stock unit 3588 or 3991 and put the stuff on it you like and need and you will be in good shape.

And if you want to experiment and play like the rest of us ----- go for it but plan on a learning curve as the other posters have said.

[Desire HD General] JohnnyRebel:
I just submitted the following letter to HTC's Customer Service:

"Phone = Telus Desire HD. I've been using my new Desire HD for awhile now but have come to conclude it has one major design flaw. If I don't cripple half of its options/features before leaving the house the battery has trouble making it through the day. Once half the features are crippled what's the point of having a smart phone? Please tell me HTC is in the process of designing/producing an upgraded battery? I have no issues with spending additional money to utilize my device to it's full potential, although I am alarmed R&D did not resolve this before launch. HTC did not make the battery cover replaceable nor did they add a little depth to the phone to allow a larger battery. Unless HTC can refine their battery design are all their current Desire HD customers forced to use their phone with reserve? It saddens me that I can't even recommend this phone to a friend because of the atroshish battery life. Lastly when I purchased this phone I did so because of HTC's reputation. I neglected to read current reviews prior to my purchase knowing that it was a flagship phone for HTC. After purchasing it I started browsing reviews and found only one common theme that never deviated. The Desire HD has a dismal battery life. What if anything does HTC plan to do about this??"

Yes guys I know that recent rom development has done leaps and bounds to improve battery life, and there are plenty of ways to extend it but the bottom line is HTC released this and knows that everyone has the same issue. They should come up with some course of resolve. If they found a way to refine the battery vastly extending its life this phone would be untouchable. I hope more users write to HTC and complain. It only takes minutes but as customers our voices should be heard.
[Desire HD General] Sheldon.mathews:
I will do the same HTC India as well
[Desire HD General] JohnnyRebel:
Great News

Glad to hear it, I hope more follow suit. The way I see it is the XDA forums in the Desire HD section gets an astonishing number of hits. If even 1 out of every 500 people that just read the Desire HD threads write a complaint in regards to a battery it will have a swift impact on a battery upgrade option for the desire hd.
[Desire HD General] Drakknar:
Unfortunately I think this is the HTC policy. They never build a perfect phone; think about the HTC Desire and the Nexus One: they're legendary devices but they had multitouch (and weak reception on N1) issues. The HTC HD2 probably was the best phone they ever made, but it had a tiny 1320 mAh battery and Windows Mobile 6.5. Other phones had issues like camera, WiFi performances, etc... And now our DHD: no S-Amoled ( = more energy required to keep the huge screen on), a low capacity battery and a sub-par GPS.

I think this is their strategy to make sure ppl will keep buying their new phones. You get it, you recognize it has plenty of great features and most things work just as expected (unlike other manufacturer like Samsung, Motorola), you get a lot of software updates... But you have one or more issues which will let you consider to upgrade to their new models.

Just my 2¢... I'd love if HTC should announce a 1500/1600 mAh extended battery tho :)
[Desire HD General] JohnnyRebel:
Scarey to think about eh?

Never quite looked at it that way but maybe it is a HTC conspiracy. Give them just enough to keep them coming back. Regardless I hope you voice you concern to HTC too and maybe we'll see that 1500/1600 mAh battery in the near future.
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
You won't see it for a couple of reasons.

The Desire hd is near end if life in terms of being a flagship, and the technology simply doesn't exist to increase battery cell density further. The only way would be a physically larger battery which is impossible given the design of the dhd.

Sent from my Desire HD pocket rocket.
[Desire HD General] springy:
I don't know why people complain about the battery life. It is fine for me. And it is a smart phone, what are you going to expect, 2 days of battery???

I easily get a day out of it without any problems. Display is 20%, Wifi on, 3g on, sync on... I say the screen is on for around 1 to 1 and a half hours.
[Desire HD General] JohnnyRebel:
No offense, but I seriously hope you wrong!

There is no doubt a new flag ship is just around the corner. And yes I've heard the density argument several times, but I'm praying they still have a trick or two up their sleeves that they have yet to reveal. ;0) Besides, it can never hurt to take a shot even when the odds look overwhelming. But hey who knows, when they respond to me they might just admit I'm SOL. We'll see what the future reveals.
[Desire HD General] JohnnyRebel:
Glad you're happy.

A day and a half and I'd be ecstatic. I get a full day too, but refrain from allot of the everyday tasks I'd also like to accomplish. I spend 14-16hrs away from home 5-6days a week. Normally by the time I return home my phone is warning me about 15% battery. Yes I could charge it while in my car, yes I could swap batteries (but I HATE the battery cover), and finally yes I could plug it into an outlet for awhile (abandoning my contact with 99.9% of the world) . To me 1230mAh seems exceptionally low for a smart phone doesn't it? Especially is you design one with such a power hungry screen? There are tons of things I do love about this phone and I mean tons. But in a year if this isn't resolved I'll remember it as the awesome phone that ate batteries. Lastly though all I can say is thank god for all the brilliant developers who are coming up with commendable ways to stretch our battery life further. And shame on HTC for just standing by on the sidelines.
[Desire HD General] springy:
The thing is, I don't think anything can really be done to make a battey big enough. Yes you can buy some 1300mAH - 1600mAH but they tend to be worse then the 1230mAH we have in the DHD. The software can be optimised but the main thing is the screen. To be honest, the DHD had a design flaw, a slot that was not big enough to house a battery that can contain more than 1230mAH. The only way we can go forward is hope that new battery technology comes out soon, but this is around 3-5 years away from current experiments technology from what I have seen...

But also, other phones are in the same situations. All battery of under 2000mAH will be terrible. Phones if you want it to last would need at least 10000mAH in my opinion, and again we are around 3-5 years away from this happening at the earliest for a credible solution..
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
Hate to say it but complaining will be fruitless as htc already have your money.

Sent from my Desire HD pocket rocket.
[Desire HD General] franklin20uk:
Yes, there is no point complaining because they have no obligation to comply. Even if they really have the technology to provide a better battery, it simply not a viable business strategy to design a new battery for a phone that soon to be replace by next generation of androids. Its not just HTC, every business is like this, they provide a good product, but always reserve better for the next product cycle. Thats why most updated technology usually takes 5-10years to actually reach consumer market.
[Desire HD General] DexterMorganNL:
I don't think the battery of the HTC Desire HD is so bad, I easy get about 1 day and 12 hours with all options on, ofcourse I don't use battery comsuming apps like twitter, I mean if you are so active with a phone then most smartphones will barely make the day.

I think we should be happy that the battery is removeable, just look at the iPhone, the battery is not removeable and to extend the battery life they need use a external battery, no thanks then I rather carry one spare battery with me for just in case I would need it.
[Desire HD General] springy:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolo...nes-could-run-for-months-between-charges.html

That is the technology I head about 6 months ago... now widely reported... this is what will solve our battery problem... Having 1500mAH won't do anything about from extend the life for a few hours.

Too bad we are 3-5 years for it to get anywhere near market consumption
[Desire HD General] turkish-soldier:
omg

really the battery in the htc desire hd is hopeless....
[Desire HD General] dhiral.v:
Well the main power consuming piece of hardware inside our phone is the screen.

Qualcomm have invented a new type of display called the mirasol display, and it uses a lot less power than the traditional LCD. Since HTC and Qualcomm are partners we could be seeing this type of display in future HTC devices.

my Desire HD has the exact same issue, with only 10-12 hrs maximum with half the features off. i am seriously considering buying the HTC Desire, just for the sake of the battery.

there is a very easy and acceptable solution for this problem. can't they make a charging case or a charging cover or a case holding the 2nd battery being in action for the HTC Desire HD? they have done it for the iPhone. i have mailed so many companies with this idea (including mugen and HTC), however no one replied.

I also have a question: how much does LeeDroid improve the battery issue??? as in how many more hrs does it give me?

Thanks, Best Regards, Android Asim
[Desire HD General] chumbagen:
Trouble? Not so much.....

What kind of services are you running?

I listen to music to and from work, wifi is on all day at work + listen to music and watch a video or two. LiveProfile is on all day as well. I normally don't use Livewallpapers. A charge will last all day for me with this typical usage. Now, If I start rocking "Dungeon Hunter" or some other game or am using GPS then battery goes way down and I have to hit the trickle charge at work ( USB to Computer )

I normally charge overnight.

It is a Smartphone with a huge screen and chip, it's not a MOTO RAZR.
[Desire HD General] Wekko306:
Sounds pretty good. I like my DHD and all its awesome functions but having to be so careful about battery consumption really is a pain in the ***. The phone's screen is pretty darn nice to look at, but I have it set to 25% brightness just to keep consumption down a bit. Seriously, using the DHD's screen for 4 hours the battery is almost empty.

I'd really have no problem settling with a 'less pretty' screen if it would mean I could use my phone for more than 4 hours a day.

My typical use during a day:

-Unplug it at around 8:00

-Making calls for about 30 minutes

-Sending ~25 SMS

-Internet for about 2 hours (1 hour wifi and 1 hour 3G/H)

-Listening to music for about 1 hour

-Checking my awesome team in RunFootball ~5 times a day

-Plug it in at around 22:00

At 22:00, the battery is usually down to below 15%. I have GPS, BT, wifi and 3G off unless actively using them. With my screen brightness set at a low 25% the maximum screen time I can get out off my DHD is 4 hours. There are no rogue apps running in the background.

Honestly, a phone with this type of power consumption needs atleast an 1800mAh battery to last me through a day without me worrying about it.
