UMM i miistakenly flashed the desire z hboot onto the g2 and now it wont turn on just stay on the orange charging sign...........i tried everything aand well i think its bricked :(........plz any help or amn i screwed cuz i bought it from a store (not tmobile) and i cant return it...it was rooted.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
I'm using the Desire-Z hboot on my G2 without a problem, so must be something more to it that you did than just the hboot (note my sig for the version of hboot and radio I'm using).

PS: If all you did was he hboot, and didn't flash a rom yet, then it's not booting because replacing the hboot also wipes the /system /data /cache (and in some cases the radio as well depending on where you got the PC###.zip from), and you would need to go into recovery to install a rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Barry://:
I had cyanogenmod on it and yes all i did is flash the hboot from the first part...idk whyits not even starting or showing the htc logo...i have tried everrthing and i dont know what is the problem...

right know im letting it charge to its full extent and c if its a battery problem

any other tips plzz.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
As I explained before, if all you did was flash a brand new hboot/radio/recovery , then you wiped what was there, as such /system /cache /data were formatted and you no longer have an operating system installed, so naturally it has nothing to boot up into.

So you would have to boot into recovery and re-flash the rom, or restore from a nandroid backup.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Barry://:
yOUR NOT QUITEEE UNDERSTANDINGME...

i flashed to Desire z hboot on the G2 the wrong hboot..and now when i rtied to reboot the phone it just diodint turn back on...so even if its not bricked its not turning on or going into recover/bootloader or even htc logo for that matter.....

i have a nand backup but i cant turn it on and into recovery to restore it the problem is i cant turn it on no matter what
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
If you can't get into recovery, can't get into the boot loader, etc then yes very good possibility you bricked it, though not sure which DesireZ hboot you grabbed as I flashed a DZ hboot on mine just fine. Just another example of double and triple checking information before you do anything with the phones.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Barry://:
I flashed this mistakenly and everthing went well but when i tried to reboot into bootloader it turned off and just refused to reboot....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
That file name doesn't say what version it is, or where it came from. For example the only two hboot files I would flash would be either the G2 or DZ from this wiki : http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Vision (and currently I'm using the DZ one on this G2).

Though by the name of it, it sounds like you were trying to put the phone back into the original stock/locked state and flashed whatever the original desire-z hboot would be onto your G2. The problem is the Desire-z had more regions/firmwares/carriers than the G2 and flashing one without verifying first would most likely brick your phone, which is what I think you have done.

Personally once I've rooted/unlocked a phone I don't even try to bother putting it back into stock state for this very reason.

PS: I unzipped it to show the version : hboot_7230_Vision_HEP_0.85.0005_101011.nb0

I am not sure what region HEP is, and I haven't seen an 0.85.0005 before.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Barry://:
So that confirms its a brick...any other options on how to get it back to life or ist that it ...because the battery indiator does comeon but its not turning on........

[Defy General] 999phonebug:
Gmail automatically adds contacts you've emailed into your contact list, they belong to "All Contacts" group.

Manually added contacts belong to "My Contacts" group.

But I couldn't get the phone to display *only* "My Contacts". (Contacts -> Hide/Show -> Google...)

Tried Googling the issue, solutions available but don't seem to work on Defy/Motorola.

Any idea?

Thx in advance.
[Defy General] 999phonebug:
Anyone...?
[Defy General] gkkovacs:
I have the same problem, which I posted to the Motorola Owners forums as well, only I don't just want to not display those contacts, but prevent then from syncing as well. I can't yet post working links:

supportforums.motorola.com/thread/47333?tstart=0

So far, I have not found a way to limit the display or the syncing of these contacts.
[Defy General] unrafa:
There are 2 apps for contacts, the one that is embedded in the dialer (the one that SUCKS), and the other is a stand alone Contacts which allows yo Manage groups in a certain way. I'd like to have good one embedded in the Dialer next to Recent and Favorites.. but im no dev. An certainly is annoying having to switch between them.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
I am coming from T-Mobile and the Vibrant so I am familiar with flashing/recoveries ect... I am however new to the procedures with CDMA and the Evo in general.

I have been reading for the past 3 days trying to educate myself but in the midst of all my education I noticed a lot of out dated information so I need some help.

I have rooted and installed the latest Amon Ra, backed up, read the stickies, glanced at the polls and different Roms. I just need a little help on deciding what a fitting Rom would be to begin with. Eventually like in the the Vibrant forums I intend to extend my education and experience to customizing themes and such. I had just recently customized the new Sony Launcher for my Vibrant. Also when I get comfortable I'll go into the experimental Roms.

Since I know it's random to just throw a Rom out let me give you what I am looking for.

-I definitely would like to keep functionality of 4g and gps. (main goal)

-I am not married to sense, miui, or AOSP I have used them all extensively. If I had a choice I would probably look at Sense or Miui before AOSP since I have been on that the most.

-I am not married to 2.2, 2.2.1, or 2.3

-I'm not a huge mono-color Themed Rom fan but if the Rom supports a nice theme that doesn't matter.

-I don't care about hdmi I don't use it.

-I don't care for the majority of the Sprint bloatware (maybe the flashlight lol)

Thanks for your time and any other noob friendly advice would definitely get a tap of the ol thanks button.

mikfroyo is a popular sense ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
I'm new to CM as they are JUST now getting into the Vibrant and SGS. I think I understand the nightlys as updated builds correct? Do these flash as updates or fresh installs? Would I have to reinstall everything every time?

thank you
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
The nightlies are basically stand alone roms. Eachy nightly just builds upons the last with updates, pactches, and new features. Ex: if you're on CM7 build 23 and want to go to 25, you backup 23, then flash build 25. Going from one nightly to another you don't have to flash. But for your first install of CM7, you'll need to flash the latest gapps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
You lost me here
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
First go here to get your nightly > http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=supersonic

On your phone, after you boot into recovery, do a clean install, wipe factory/data, cache, dalvik, the flash the rom you downloaded from ^

Then go here and download the latest gapps [gapps = google apps] You need to do so, or a couple apps will be missing/won't work, like the market for example. http://goo-inside.me/gapps/latest/7/universal/

After you download it, then place on your sdcard, wipe your cache and dalvik, then flash the gapps.

Download both files first then place on your sdcard before doing the steps.

Id say give myns warm 2.2 a try its so sick for sense, for aosp give cm7 a try. Of course with aosp, its still not PERFECT but pretty darn close. I switch between myns 2.2 and cm7, though i always end up going back to myn(sense 2.2) because i have yet to find an issue. Sense and Aosp users could argue all day but i never have to use/find fixes for sense but i do on aosp. 4G isnt perfect on cm7, and neither is GPS.

So far I am extremely happy with it as far as functionality. I do however have horrible battery drain. For example, currently I am at 87% and I pulled it off the charger 30 minutes ago. Basically surfed facebook and here.

I read about downgrading price which I did lastnight, I also switched out the kernel with same results. Any thoughts?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
Sorry double post. Here are my battery stats. Main concern is wake and also, since I have flashed this I haven't had a voicemail.

I guess while I am troubleshooting, my 3g seems really poor and sporadic. I just wasn't sure if it could be rom related or not.

Btw I am now at 76% lol

I've been running VaelPak for about a week. I love it. Stable, good looking, fast, good battery, flexible indeed. The option to go get original sprint tools or kernels inside the custom app is brilliant. Definitely underrated as a ROM.

Before VP I was running through the following, most recent to oldest

CM7RC1,

Myn Warm Z,

MIUI 1.3.4,

CM 6.12,

Myn Warm 2.2,

Fresh Evo 3.5,

Stock.

Loving VP. Only problem I've had is with ADB and Eclipse but that could be me and not the phone since I'm a newbie Dev.

Can't wait to add reports to XDA or VP forums so I can make this ROM even better.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
I have been reading up on some other roms but I want to get my basics down 1st with the above issues. Vibrants were flash a Rom, optional different kernel, optional different modem and go. These Evo Roms and mechanics have a slightly more advanced learning curve.

Instead of starting a new thread I guess, unless i need to, what's the deal with the video processing? My Vibrant on the quad test was getting almost double the frame-rates stock and or Rom'ed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
To get your voice mail, either use google voice, or flash back to an older backup, verify it works, like have someone call you, leave a message, backup the app+data, then back to the current backup of your rom, then restore the app and data. And honestly don't be worried about quadrant scores; if your device is fast an d responsive, don't bother about it, they don't do anything.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khilbron:
You need to give the ROM a few days to settle into the phone, plus using the Stock kernel, your phone will lose 5-8% battery almost immediately since the charger kicks off at 100% and doesn't kick back on till around 88-90. Plus with a new ROM, you will be using it a TON getting it configured and setup. Once its all setup and you fall into a regular usage pattern, your battery life will extend greatly.

I am using CM7 RC2, and I take my phone off the charger around 6pm, I surf the internet, mess around with some games, send sms messages, snap photos, record videos, ect.. on a regular basis, I also use my phone as my alarm clock so it sits off the charger next to my bed all night. By the time I wake up in the morning at 8am to get ready for work, I still have around 50-60% battery left, and that will last me the rest of the day easily.

I had these same results when i used Myn's RLS5, the only difference was when I woke up I usually had 35-40% battery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
Sorry, I meant I haven't had any to receive so I was wondering why it showed so much drain if I never use it.

Ok. I just did an over night test. Basically went to bed at 100% and unplugged the phone. 8 hours later I wake up to 15%. My battery drained 85% in 8 hours with no useage at all???
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Yea, that's not supposed to happen, I can do the same and come out at ~80%

You'r not overclocked, or 3G on?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
3g is on but no overclock. I did however notice my wifi was set to never sleep? It was on for 7 of the hours.

On my vibrant I could leave 3g wifi whatever on and get maybe 15-20% drop but it would also drop wifi when the phone slept. Could this be the culprit?

And what controls the 3g settings? I still get horrible intermittent signal.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Turn your 3G off if you aren't using, very big battery saver. You can turn it on/off in your power widget, or mobile data settings under wifi settings.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
I might be wrong but 3g cannot possibly drain or help drain a battery 85% with no use in 8 hours.

Btw, I really appreciate all your help. No thanks button on the app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well I believe it can where I've seen people leave it on all day and they get around ~8hours and need a charge. When you go to sleep tonight, charge it to full, leave your 3G, wifi, ect off, and you should have more battery ~80% in the morning.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c6nsor9d:
Hi everyone !

I have a little issue with my HTC Desire, i've been trying to install APP2SD after i rooted it but something went wrong and now my phone is stuck on the initial HTC Logo ! I still have access to HBoot and Clockwork Recovery ! I guess I should flash my phone again with the generic rom but I have no idea about how to do that ! Can you please help me ??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
There is probably a easier fix.

What rom are you on now and how did you try to install APP2SD?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c6nsor9d:
I am on the latest stock rom !

I used r1-a2sd-desire-dalvik-fresh-signed.zip on a Goldcard but i was unable to repartition my sd card using clockwork mod ... and now my phone won't start !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
No idea what the zip exactly does but try wiping dalvik cache in recovery (under advanced). If that doesn't work, install Leedroid NoA2SD with a full wipe to get your phone booting again or partition your sd card with Gparted and then install Leedroid A2SD (or any other rom you like).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c6nsor9d:
Can you help me out with a full reset ??

I was so stay on a stock rom ! I am currently downloading this one

First it says to partition the SD card, should I partition my normal SD Card of the Goldcard (and how to do that??), also, should i put the .zip file of the rom on the regular SD card or the gold card for the flash ??

Really thank you for you answers !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
To do a full reset, boot in to recovery and wipe data/factory reset and cache. You can try rebooting after this but i don't think it will work.

To install a new rom:

Create the ext partition (i would do it on the normal card, don't know how goldcards are affected by partitioning). Use Gparted to partition, there should be enough info on how to do that if you search. Also copy all the stuff you want to keep to your pc before partitioning.

Copy your stuff and the rom back to the partition sd (fat partition)

Boot in to recovery

Wipe data/factory reset and cache

Install zip from sd

Wait and reboot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c6nsor9d:
It seems to be working fine ! Thanks a lot !

Thank you.

I have to be honest here though this is really the way to go:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...021190&cm_sp=DailyDeal-_-82-021-190-_-Product

Buy it one time and your done for life. Wire it up and stick it under the seat. I believe AutoZone and Advanced Auto sell them at reasonable prices as well. I mean of course you could go to WalMart but come on people spread your money around.
[Xoom Accessories] goldsworthy:
These inverters are ok however, the 12v car type charging cords are less wear and tear on you autos elect. system. I drive a semi and our company had increaced service costs because of drivers useing these inverters in the trucks. I am not saying dont buy one I was just giveing out some info. to think about before buying a inverter.
[Xoom Accessories] goldsworthy:
I bet one of the reasons they sell this cord so cheep is that they wanted to know who has a 3G/4G xoom that has not signed up for a data plan. I bet they will use this info. to try and sell you a plan. Who knows they may even have specials that will come up with less of a cost for their data plan. But I know they will at least use your shipping adress to send you offers. Over night shipping is expencive! between $11.00-$13.00! (they have to be loosing money on this cord + shipping) I myself dont care if they send me junk mail as long as I get this cord OVERNIGHT shipped to me for this price!. Its a good idea for the company to do it this way.
[Xoom Accessories] keitht:
I am not sure I understand this reasoning. When I bought mine from Costco, they took my info and recorded the serial of the Xoom. I did not get the data plan. So they have my info already and can easily see that I am not using their data plan. Why would they need to sell an accessory to determine this?
[Xoom Accessories] goldsworthy:
Its a cheap way for a company to get a mailing list for selling stuff!. Its not a bad idea in fact, its a good idea!. Remember other cell companies are going to be adding the xoom to their service plans soon (Sprint to name one) compitition is a good thing for the customer!. Also, just think about it for a second.... This also provides Sprint a advance way to check your credit as you use your card when buying the cord, and there by filter out customers with sub standard credit for their services. Then when they offer you a "special plan" they will know they can aprove you when you sign up. Makes sense now?
[Xoom Accessories] keitht:
Of course, that is the same with all companies. But to say they are selling these to find out who is using their data plan or not does not make sense. If my grandma ordered the cable for me and does not even have a Xoom, how would that help them determine whether or not someone is using data? You don't need to enter any information about your Xoom to order it. Does not make sense. I am sure Verizon already has the serial # of every Xoom sold and can easily see which ones have data plans and which ones do not.
[Xoom Accessories] goldsworthy:
Ok tell me why they would pay $11.00-$14.00 for over night shipping and charge you only $14.99 for a cord with free over night shipping? (the kindness of their heart? I DONT THINK SO!) trust me its for marketing their service! companys dont give away anything for free without getting something back worth more to them.
[Xoom Accessories] keitht:
You are a paranoid fellow :)
[Xoom Accessories] goldsworthy:
NOPE! I just think realistic!, its not a bad thing in fact I orderd one for myself.
[Xoom Accessories] keitht:
I am not sure what you don't understand about they already have your information when you purchased the Xoom. They already know whether or not you have data plan with them. What difference does it make whether you buy an accessory from them or not? They already have your info! And what does a car charger have to do with finding out if you have a data plan? Nothing. It is for charging your device not accessing data. You are not making any sense.
[Xoom Accessories] goldsworthy:
I guess I didnt make myself clear! It also pre checks your credit as you use a credit card when buying the cord. This lets them pre check credit in order to filter our people with sub standard credit for useing their service plans. Its you that are not makeing sense!. I wont go on about this if you dont understand marketing I dont have the time to explain it to ya sorry.
