[Milestone XT720 Android Development] xavwanted:
And this app work or not ? My rom with the flac format support did not have this issue!?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
The problem was that the media scan would crash when it hit internationalized characters in the ID3 tags (e.g. my Alizée collection--I know, kill me now) and never get any further. So you could restart the scan using these apps but the scan would always crash at the same spot. I ended up transcoding all my ID3 tags to only use ASCII. There was a thread about this but it seems to have been merged with a bunch of other threads. See starting around post #82 (page 9) in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=962744&page=9
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] alex0329:
i flashed wanteds rom but everytime I get to the home screen when i turn it on, it keeps rebooting. How do i stop this?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Remove the battery to power off. Hold volume up while powering on to reenter OpenRecovery. Reflash the nandroid + factory reset.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] alex0329:
Ive actually done that a couple of times.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
It's crashing at home screen or it's stuck during the boot animation? Do you have an SD card with an ext partition? Are you overclocked?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] alex0329:
It gets to the home screen and while its syncing everything it just keeps rebooting. I dont even get to download apps or set the overclock or anything. And yes I do have my SD card with an ext3 partition.
[General Questions and Answers] gator2k83:
I searched here and Google I could not get any results for what I am looking for.

I have a slew of old phones at my disposal TP TP2 and a Hero. All have bluetooth. what i am looking for is an app or hack to windows mobile 6+ or Android that will allow me to use one of the old phones as a bluetooth audio gateway from my EVO to the (old) phone that's connected hard wired into the aux via headphone jack.

Basically making the (old phone) work like the Blackberry bluetooth audio gateway or the belkin. I want to be able to wire the phone up audio and power and keep it in the glove box and have the bluetooth connect to the EVO as AD2P where the audio gets routed from the EVO > Old Phone > Stereo via headphone jack.

Any help or suggestions would be helpful. Between android and windows mobile I thought something like this would have been out already but I cant seem to find what I am looking for.
[General Questions and Answers] gator2k83:
got to thinking maybe if there was an app i could run on the evo that made it show up as a2dp to other devices or vise versa.

hello i am hoping to get darky rom but i am not sure what to do

currently i rooted my phone with z4root and applied one click lag fix do i have to unroot and uninstall oclf before flashing darky rom

sry for the noob qns
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You have to read Darky posts you ask Darky .

You read the FAQS and understand what you are doing first .

The FAQS state for all roms first back up your efs folder Undo any lagfix .

There are a number of roms on this web site for you to choose from .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
Remove the lagfix. ALWAYS remove lagfix before doing anything.

Leave the root alone. You don't need to root to flash roms, nor do you need to unroot the phone to flash roms.

What happens next depends on what firmware you are currently on.

If you are on eclair and still have 2e recovery, great. Grab the rom files and the cwm update files from the thread. Put the rom file in your internal SD. Doesn't matter what folder it is in as long as it is the internal SD and not the external one. Rename the cwm update file to just update.zip and put it in the root of your internal SD (i.e. not inside any of the folders).

Go into recovery mode, install update.zip. You might have to do this one more time to get into cwm. Once inside cwm, go to install zip from SD card, find the rom file, flash. Done.

If you are on froyo and have 3e recovery instead, things get a little more complicated. You need 2e recovery to flash cwm, and there are two ways to do it.

a) Flash a kernel that supports 2e recovery. Voodoo, Speedmod, etc.

b) Flash an eclair rom using Odin.

Personally I prefer method b). It clears all the crap I might have inside the data partition, meaning that I am less likely to screw things up.

After that just do what you would do on an eclair rom.

And oh, before you do any of this, back up your efs folder. There are different ways to do it, and I am not going to bother explaining how to. Google it. There are plenty of threads out there with more than enough information on how to do it.

Hi there Folks!

I'm running EspressoEnergy mod for my Hero by PMGRANDS. Awesome ROM!

I'm wondering if there's an easy way to switch the launcher (not sure if this is the right word.. the bottom bar that has phone, applications, and add (+) ) back to the original one provided by HTC?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi, I am trying to use some apps so I can connect to my HD2 through home wifi then use my PC keyboard to send sms etc. But no matter how hard I try it just doesn't work.

The phone says it is on 192.168.1.137 but I just can't connect to it in any way. I've tried EasySMS and now Myphoneexplorer (they are the only ones I can remember at this time)

Using the MDJ CyanogenMod 7 v2.6. connecting it it from a Windows 7 x64 machine.

Any help?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Richy99:
i installed that app this morning and it worked first time without any issues, are you sure there isnt something being blocked on the router end?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Aryante:
Or perhaps you have a firewall in place on your pc?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JackyBoy:
disabling firewall doesn't help.

What could be blocking it on the router? I'm not exactly a router expert, but I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be blocking anything internally, only stuff coming from the outside in?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sawaichi:
Hi I'm a new user for Atrix, and atrix will showing carrier name in the notification bar (in the upper left corner, usually showing "AT&T", see attached jpg file).

Unfortunately I'm using it with Taiwan's carrier, and it shows "Chunghwa Telecom" in my notification bar.

I google some relative method, but seems not work at all...

a. change the eri.xml in framework-res.apk => carrier name string not found.

b. change by CDMA workshop tools => this tool is for qualcomm solution only, but I'm not sure it's suitable for atrix.

c. "Carrier Name" app from android market. => must install "CyanogenMod" first, but CyanogenMod didn't support atrix now.

Is any way to change it to shorter string?

[Desire HD General] Farmerus:
Hello guys.

I've got a minor but a really annoying problem with my DHD screen. Sometimes i just cant slide my fingers over the screen. Its because the screen is too much sticky. Sometimes (p.e. in cold weather) the screen slides just OK but 60% of time its pretty ****ty. Sometimes it makes web brosing really annoying and gaming impossible. Has anyone encounered the same problem? Any solution, opinion, post is appreciated

PS: Some display cover (invShield) should fix it but i dont like to have something that degrades the picture quality of the screen - hate bubbles...
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Its your finger, do you moisturise a lot?
[Desire HD General] Farmerus:
Well, if you mean that i sweat a lot, i'd say no... I tried to dry my fingers, superclean them, superclean the screen...
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Does the screen "stick" when you run the back or your hand over the screen?

I didn't mean sweat, more like lotions & creams that will make your skin soft.
[Desire HD General] snowwhite007:
Them dirty sites?
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
I get this exact same problem too! Sometimes when it's cold (not only though), i find it hard to slide my finger properly. It sucks when trying to play fruit ninja!

Anyone know of a solution? I doubt my fingers need moisturising :p
[Desire HD General] Farmerus:
No, i dont use any moisturisers and while sliding joints over the screen, it slides just ok... However yesterday i borrowed my phone to a friend and he told me, that his fingers slides bad also... So probably its my fingers, but im not the onlyone who have/would have this issue...
[Desire HD General] Andy:
Moisturising your fingers will cause this!:rolleyes:

Try rubbing your hands & fingers with an alcohol/ethanol based hand cleanser.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
To be honest i think it's the screen surface used by HTC that sometimes causes this. My brother has an iPod touch and i've never experienced the same thing.
[Desire HD General] fun2323:
Use a screenprotector?
[Desire HD General] JamesBarnes:
Cleaning your finger is the opposite of what you need to do. in order for your finger to slide well you need a certain amount of lubrication, the grease from your skin will usually provide this.

As a general rule of thumb people will have a little "extra" grease on their forehead and bridge of nose because we dont tend to touch that area throughout the day. If you are having trouble just run your finger along your hairline :)

Sounds a bit gross, but there you have it.

Edit:

In my experience cleaning your screen with any kind of solution unless it is actually grimy is counterproductive, a quick buff with a microfiber cloth to remove dust and visible streaks is enough and leaves a sufficient amount of oil on the screen to ease sliding.
[Desire HD General] Farmerus:
Thanks, JB! Gonna try till tomorrow, then i'll let you know if it gets better!
[Desire HD General] Aenima462:
It's moisture making fingers more grippy, not a lack of oils

Personally I hate the rainbow effect oils on the screen create
[Desire HD General] CitizenLee:
Get a screen protector, they generally slide better than bare screen.
[Desire HD General] mackemsrule:
I get that too,and sometimes when i press the screen to add a widget nothing happens, i have to change screen then go back and it works lol
[Desire HD General] Farmerus:
Well, problem solved. But it wasnt my finger which needed lubrication. When i lubricated my fingers by 'my nose' as JB recommended it did nohting but a greasy line across the screen. However when i cleaned it by microfiber cloth, the grease spreaded over the screen surface and my thumb now slides like a dream! And the display is more responsive even to simple touches. So - problem solved! Clean finger and lubricated screen.

Thank y'all!

(Yeah primitive solution - should have found by myself)

[Desire HD General] xxDaViDxx:
I recommend you an ORIGINAL screen protectors. Chinese ones are very bad, and maybe is worst than without it (in terms of your problem while dragging a finger)
[Desire HD General] nerotix:
Idd, you should get an anti-glare screenprotector that also works vs fingerprints, i got one a few days ago and its heaven! your finger slides so smooth over the screen and it barely leaves fingerprints behind and ofc the anti glare is rly nice to have aswell.

edit: this is the one that I use, even tho its a dutch site, its rly good and fits perfectly, and when I putted it on my DHD it didnt leave 1 bubble

[Desire General] Tiznom:
Here is what my Desire is doing:

[YOUTUBE]Q4aOyG0ROH8[/YOUTUBE]

It's under warranty, so I contacted HTC Tuesday. They recommended sending it in. They filled out the 'tick sheet' wrong, their error. I need it corrected to continue. Five phone calls and 15 emails later, I now have the correct paperwork, but they are refusing to cover shipping to their repair center. They blame UPS for not operating here in Jersey. That's between UPS and HTC. My contract is with HTC, I'm holding them responsible.

The warranty (Section 9c, yeah, I save and read everthing) agrees they will cover it. I can use Royal Mail, obviously. Getting the device in for repair is not the issue.

Has anyone had problems with HTC in getting your device repaired?

What did you do to resolve it?

I like the Desire, and I'll probably buy another HTC in the future. I have 4 from them so far, but this is my first problem and it's not going very well.
[Desire General] kabads:
You should inform HTC that they have a responsibility for shipping regardless of who operates in a particular country. Other than that, if it's still in warranty you can take it back to where you purchased it from (or notify your mobile network of the fault). They hold ultimate legal responsibility for getting a repair (unless you waived them when you signed a contract). I remember when Amazon insisted that I use my warranty with the manufacturer (who also wasn't willing to pay for shipping) and then sent Amazon, that as a seller, my contract of exchange was with them and that they should provide a replacement. In the end, they didn't want the faulty item back and just sent me a new one.
[Desire General] Tiznom:
Good point kabads,

I've sent the seller (Amazon) an email asking them to handle this from here. I found this gem on an OFT website

"The trader must sort out your problem, not the manufacturer

Remember, if you are entitled to a refund, replacement, repair or compensation, it is the trader who must sort out your problem. The trader cannot tell you to go back to the manufacturer or to claim through a guarantee or warranty."

It seems that HTC is the logical choice to handle this, but they are dragging their feet. The warranty people can't fix a mistake on the returns form once they email it. They supposedly 'escalated' the issue after email number 16 and agreed to arrange a courier to pick up. Now, no response for 2 days. I'm done babysitting them and forcing each step of the process. I think they are used to doing this and having a certain percentage of people give up and go away.

** BOOM, Update!

Amazon has already written back while I was typing this post. Full refund, no problem. Contrast this with HTC's shambolic response this far. I'll order a replacement and I'm done with these morons.

Now I have the problem of choosing a replacement. Do I gamble on HTC again, or go with a competitor? I guess it doesn't matter much so long as I order from Amazon again.
[Desire General] Rageypeep:
I know its odd, but I would still get a HTC, it is really bad customer service true, but the phones are really good. Just use Amazon to return the phone, I think having a broken desire is a bit of bad luck to have to return it.
[Desire General] Sysiphus1981:
I would go for a nexus s, I would love direct google love and the specs are very good. I dont know how long u could wait, but the dual core phones are just around corner, thats the way to go in my opinion.
[Desire General] :
Yep dual cores are nearly here although HTC wont be getting them until toward the end if the year supposedly. But on the other hand I probably wouldn't be able to go without a phone for long so I'd get either another HTC or maybe a nexus s because of the higher spec, glad you got your refund some companies are really stubbern GO AMAZON !

MFW dealing with Amazon:

But seriously folks, I'm back using my trusty G1. I'll definitely order the next one from Amazon. They don't have the Nexus S, or I'd order one today. They no longer have the original Desire in AMOLED, like the one I'm returning. Amazon's selection of Android phones is fewer than usual right now for some reason. Maybe newer ones are coming soon. Looks like it's wait and see for now.

[HTC Aria General] morry_88:
Hi i couldnt find any other comparative info here so i thought id ask.. has anyone else had, for the lack of a better term, worse response times and just general lag when using CM7 RC1 on their Aria compared to CM6?

For example when I turn the phone 90 degrees, the screen takes about 5 seconds to rotate; also alot of apps, such as messaging and the web browser seem to take alot longer to load/open then the CM6 rom (6.1.1)

Am I doing something wrong here or is the latest version of android just more demanding on CPU etc?

Sorry if this has been answered before, I was unable to find (using search) any answers.

Cheers
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
I'm getting almost instant opening with all my apps. My screen rotation has a very slight hesitation, but its no more than a second, if that. Thats without overclocking. What you are seeing is not normal for cm7. I would recommend atleast upgrading to rc2, if not going to the latest nightly, which is what I'm running.
[HTC Aria General] morry_88:
Interesting. I just upgraded to RC2 and am waiting for my apps to finish restoring. after a fresh install the screen rotation was down to about 1~2 seconds which i think is normal from what i remember of older roms, im just hoping that when all my apps are back on they don't for some reason slow the phone back down.

One thing I did do just before upgrading was adjusting the min and max cpu power in settings->cyanogenmod settings->cpu settings and with the max set as high as it could the phone was much more responsive, but of course this will in turn eat battery alot faster, so I guess il just have to find a good balance.

Gota say the aria is still a meaty little phone for what it is :D
