Given the announcement of the recent Incredible OTA update, (mobile hotspot and 720p recording) any idea if we will be seeing this on the Desire.Should be pretty straightforward given the incredible is basically the same as the Desire.

My Dinc used to make an announcement when the battery was charged. I think it was a battery widget I had installed, but for the life of me, I can't find that same one again. Anyone know which app does that? Or is it just the stock battery, because I've also replaced it with the 1500.

When you turn on the headset it says "Powering Up" then "your phone is connected" followed by a child's voice that says "Droid 2." For some reason, that kid's voice is getting on my nerves. Is there a way to change (or remove) it?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen receiving a call, there is a recorded voice that says "Call from xxxxx". How do you turn that off. It seems that it started with 2.2, but I'm not sure.

It doesn't seem to be tied to the volume rocker as I still get announcements when set to completely mute.
We developed the popular mobile travel application TripCase (http:// www.tripcase.com) natively for the iphone, backberry, winmo, and recently Android. We really like the Android framework compared to the others, but found some of it's concepts like Activities to be very cumbersome when dealing with screen based applications like ours. We have many forms and workflows, lots of viewable and editable data, and we make many calls to our back-end Rails server. In order to streamline our development efforts on Android we created a small convention-based micro-framework which we are calling DynaDroid and would like to open it up to the Android community for use.
http://code.google.com/p/dynadroid/
Here are some of the features that you get with DynaDroid:
* The entire micro-framework is housed within a singe Activity, so sharing data between screens is finally easy again.
* Code by convention and all your xml layouts and menus are dynamically available.
* Screen management for pushing, popping, and swapping screens (all with transition animations).
* Screen orientation (landscape, portrait) can be controlled on a screen by screen basis.
* Error reporting support built-in, so if your app crashes a report is sent to you.
And there is more to come:
* More dynamic coding conventions - let's get rid of all those if/ else and case statements!
* Built-in screen analytics for tracking user interaction
* Simplified device to server communication with xml/json parsing and automatic error handling * Extensions to Android UI components without all the plumbing
* Easier to use api for interacting with device capabilities (camera, gps, phone, etc.)
We would love your feedback on the micro-framework. So please let us know what you would like in the future. And if you have any questions or issues our Google group is located here:
http://groups.google.com/group/dynadroid
Remember DynaDroid is already being used in the production Android application TripCase, so it's been thoroughly tested and is ready for prime-time.
Does it actually work? I still have to manually update the apps I put on auto update.

I want the upcoming Froyo 2.2 update, and I have seen that it is soon available for Vodafone. This confuses me. I am wondering -- will HTC release the new OS on their website, and I can just download and install it myself?
View 11 Replies View RelatedHas anyone heard anything from htc or verizon about the lag some of us have after the update?My phone is generally just slower and seems to stutter a lot more.text msgs is a joke with how laggy it is to read and type them.I was messing around with a friends nexus1 and it was way faster than my incredible This is all after a factory reset etc.I am hesitant to do a reset again since I will lose everything once more.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just purchased my HTC Desire, its Factory unlocked and I just want to confirm the latest version of the device. mine is
Firmware Version: 2.1 update 1
Software Number: 1.21.405.2
also when froyo does come officially, will I be able to use OTA to install it? as the device I am using is not from my region, I believe it is from the UK and I'm using in Dubai - will this affect the OTA?
With 2.2 we got the market feature to update all which will just update all of the apps that have outstanding updates in the market.
What I cannot figure out is how to stop one particular app from updating, specifically I do not want to update the Facebook app since there are many reviews saying it is a big battery drainer and I do not use the app anyway.
Also, anytime I download a new app from the market, it automatically starts the download of the Facebook update, so I have to cancel it or if I don't catch it in time I have to uninstall the update. For both instances it just appears in my update queue again and I have the same problem next time.
So basic question is: Is there any way to select an app to not automatically update with the update all feature, or can we turn off the update all feature?
The download process will start on its own then the handset will reset good luck.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am hoping that there are a couple of experts out there cause I have a problem. I have an HTC Desire, which should have the OTA update for froyo available. instead it has a different update which is 27.07 MB in size, which won't install.I believe this is blocking my froyo update since my Desire is Sim unlocked, non branded and rooted. The problem with the 27.07mb update is that it downloads but won't install (you first get the green installing icon but then changes to the same icon but the with a red question mark) So I was wondering if there is any other way of getting that froyo update on my phone or somehow getting it OTA.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a TMobile handset which I debranded with this Edit: I don't know if it is the norm but I can only install the above rom when I have my gold card in. So, I downloaded and installed 2.2 earlier. Well, it should have been that easy but mine wasn't My phone tried to updated but kept getting stuck in a loop. It'd get to about 87% and the phone would reboot. After about 6 attempts I bravely took the battery out and rebooted. When the phone did finally reboot it had 2.2 on the but not everything it needed. I had no wifi and no phone signal. To solve this I reinstalled the 1.21 in the link above, entered all the necessary info and then BEFORE I installed any apps I did a manual update and it worked. I can only assume it was down to an app but not sure which one. I am no back up and running thanks to appbrain and my backup I haven't lost anything.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got a HTC Desire from O2 UK and it's got O2 splash screen when it loads, but I believe it's unlocked. Here are the following details it's on:
Firmware Version - 2.1-update1
Baseband Version - 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2
Kernal Version - 2.6.29-c8d11160 htc-kernal@and18-2 #1
Build Number - 1.20.207.3 CL171460 release-keys
Software Number - 1.20.207.3
Browser Version - Webkit 3.1
Boot Loader - 0.80
Earlier on today, I ran ?Unrevoked3" on Linux, which "rooted" my phone. It added an extra option called "Superuser Permissions", but the O2 branding when phone is turned on remains, and the numbers above stayed the same. Now I tried to load a new ROM, but they all bring up the errors below. I have tried loads of different ones. I have plenty of free space on my SD card and have renamed some to update.zip, but still no luck. One seemed like it went through, but straight after an animation of a cross played on the screen, with different colours, and this wouldn't go away even after a restart............
I have rooted my phone today, and since then i have noticed that whenever i manually check for system software updates it tells me to download and install 1.21.405.2 . I've done this several times but the update doesnt seem to hold....have i done something wrong, or this normal?

HTC Desire in Europe gets OTA firmware update | larsa | Androinica
Known features include:
Android OS update patch

Anyone know of or can see anything major in this "oS update patch"
I have disabled auto updates ,but on two occasions now the Flash update has installed without my knowledge.
Any way of preventing it ,i know it would be nice to keep it updated ,but not at the expense of 10mb of valuable space.
My Desire is 1 week old and came with 2.2 preloaded. It is an unlocked unbranded handset from Carphone Warehouse. Yesterday my phone displayed a message that there is an update available. I decided to check it out before jumping in with both feet. I currently have software version 2.09.405.8, so I assume this update will give me 2.10.405.2? If so, I have read here that there are a few problems with the update, specifically with wifi. I have also read elsewhere that HTC withdrew the update until this was fixed.
Some of the solutions talk about manual installation and a gold card, whatever that is!
Have HTC fixed the wifi problem? Is it now safe for me to install the update OTA? Or should I wait? I really don't want my phone being messed up and having to fiddle around with gold cards or whatever.
How can look and check in a jiffy to see what apps have an update available. what i mean is how can see all the apps that need updating on one screen?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a US Cellular Desire - I rooted it with Unrevoked 3 forever - only to free up some memory and take some apps off that were preloaded. I did not delete any stock files - or use a custom rom of any kind. My question is - when the 2.2 official OTA froyo update comes - will I be able to do it OTA since there is no custom rom? Or will I have to do it another way. If I have to do it another way -what is that process? I dont care if it stays rooted or not - I am new to all of this - and would actually prefer just to go with the 2.2 official froyo update and not be rooted in the future.

One thing that concerns me the most is, that some users are experiencing problems with the stock browser being laggy.I have a sim free Desire from the CPW.So am i right to hold back and wait for more feedback, as it seems since the update there has been more negativity to froyo than i expected. Or should i take the plunge and update to Froyo now?
View 21 Replies View RelatedWith this RUU package you can flash your phone to the current official OTA update i.e. the latest software, radio and bootloader. If you have a branded phone, this will debrand it.This method doesn't require you to root your phone and it doesn't install any unofficial or modified software. If your phone is currently rooted it will remove it.If you install an official branded update to Froyo, e.g. Vodafone's, you will not be able to install this.An alternative installation method that does not need any drivers (or even a computer) is available.

I'm probably better waiting for the official OTA update, to be fair.It's on the 8th or something isn't it?
