I have seen several posts about once you have debranded a phone you need to put the goldcard back in to update using the OTA update otherwise you will lose access to your wifi. Are there any problems with using my large microsdcard as the goldcard and then permanently leaving it in the phone?

I've got a Vodafone handset that I unlocked and debranded and it currently has the official Froyo 2.2 software on it.
When I updated to Froyo I decided to make my regular 8gb SD card into a Goldcard so that I can leave it in the phone, use it as normal and still receive the official OTA updates. But, I'm wondering what actually makes it a Goldcard - i.e. is there anything I've got to be careful not to delete? Or is it just a case of being sure not to reformat it?
All I did was to backup the files on it before I formatted it and turned it into a Goldcard and then copied those back over to it after having done the update. So, still a Goldcard then?
Does anyone sale GoldCards that are needed for rooting the HTC Desire? As its recommended that the user, uses a Windows machine and I have no such rubbish on my laptop.

Reason i ask, currently im running A2SD+ so when i insert a blank memory card, the phone does not boot pass the HTC screen as its needs the original SD where all the files are.
I'm a noob, and therefore i'm really sorry if this is indeed a common knowledge. have searched hours on this, but there isn't any that i found to be clear.
using snow leopard. the closest guide i got: Softbank Sucks: How to create a goldcard with mac or Linux for rooting HT-03a
i followed the steps, but i can't tell if i managed to actually succeed. i tried rooting my desire, and it hasnt been successful so i presume i must have gone wrong with this part of creating a GoldCard. (since the guides on Modaco needs Hex Editor for Windows and I dont have Windows installed on my Mac's Bootcamp.)
I'm having severe problems with the Orange ROM on my phone, not to mention I hate how they have messed around with 2.1.
I have 1.15.61.10 BB 32.30.00.28u_4.05.00.11.
I'd like to know if anyone can tell me which is the best/most stable ROM to change to, and also and most importantly, if I change to another version, preferably unbranded HTC 2.1, what happens when Orange push OTA updates out?
Will my phone try and download the Orange updates? Or will it attach to some HTC server somewhere and download the generic version?
Id rather not have to manually update everytime a new ROM comes out, so it would be good if I didn't have to, but I would think each network would only provide their own version OTA. Is this right?
My only SD card is the one in my phone (its a goldcard) I installed rom manager did a SD card partition, it deleted everything on my card. Did I just destroy my goldcard? Also, my phone loads up fine etc. but i am on the stock desire FW and I have no market or google apps anymore (after the partition).

It used to work perfectly before the Froyo update. It's been hit and miss ever since.

View 13 Replies View RelatedThis weekend I logged on to roadrunner via computer downloaded all email to outlook and deleted the mail from the server. (I store all emails locally and not on the email server as they have limits and I do not, just to answer why) Now when I went to the phone all my email was gone from the inbox. It looks like the phone actually synchs to the server and does not store a copy of the email locally. Strange as the deleted emails are still on the phone so they are store locally (what are developers thinking?). Anyway, is there a way, some setting I am missing to store emails locally on the phone?

Any idea whether there is another way to create a goldcard? Given that Goldcard service down isn't currently working?

I tried to make a goldcard for rooting my HTC Hero (Three UK with latest ROM) over the weekend, but had no luck - it seems the memory card I own (an 8gb Kingston card from ebay, so may be a fake) doesn't work.
Can anyone recommend a memory card brand & size that will *definitely* work for creating a goldcard?
ok i have been trying to get ROM on my hero but i have to use the goldcard method ...
i found this on a site [PC Application] GoldCardTool - Android @ MoDaCo ..... its not mine and i take no credit for it but thought i should share it with the people who do not no about it and for the less technical minded like me its easy to do and takes less than 2 mins
lol here is 1 real big tip this will make you laugh . dont forget to plug your phone into your pc . i was trying and trying for about 15mins before i stopped being thick that i tried to use this program with my phone on charge in the mains and not plugged in com and synced lmfao ... all this trying toput ROM on has fried my brain
I decided to try and root to install a custom 2.1 rom on my Telus HTC Hero running firmware 1.5 (build 2.73.661.46 CL#74632 release-keys), but I'm failing miserably! I'm following the goldcard method to downgrade before rooting but every time I create a gold card it fails. I remove the card and either insert it into the phone or PC and both tell me it's unrecognised and needs formatting.
I've tried 4 different micro SD cards (stock 2GB, class 4 4GB, class 4 8GB, generic 2GB) all with the same result. Is this because I'm running Windows Vista or Windows 7 (I get the same result on two different laptops)? If I install XP will I have more luck? Or do I just need to keep spending yet more cash on unneeded micro SD cards? Or just keep trying with the same cards over and over agian? Failing that, I'll buy a prepared goldcard if anybody has a spare one lying around?
can someone tell me how to permanently disable this application, i never click on it or even use it and yet it always seems to run in the background. Im sure its an easy fix but its driving me nuts!
View 5 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if its possible to have an application run on startup of the phone and then run permanently in the background. Also I would then like it to monitor the call log, and detect any changes and run about 15, 20 lines of code each time there is a change.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIt's actually really easy, and you don't need to use animations. I did something like this recently by using a wrapper layout that adjusts the Canvas and any MotionEvents. (You could also use this approach rotate the entire layout to any arbitrary angle.) I think romainguy told me to use Canvas.concat(mForward) instead of setMatrix(), but I haven't updated the code in awhile...................

View 49 Replies View RelatedI used HTC to bring it back to "stock." Now installing PC36IMG.zip doesn't do anything at all. I get no superuser privileges. I can't even install superuser from the market. Does reverting to stock via HTC Sync permanently disable root? I can still boot up into Recovery manually and go back to a nand backup and all that. But I can't get adb to do anything ("adb denied" error and "su denied" error). I also can't get Windows-Recovery.bat to recognize the stupid phone. Maybe I should return it and get a fresh phone?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI can't figure out how to turn off a2dp. In my car, the DInc is plugged into an FM transmitter and paired with my BT headset. The problem is the audio I'm playing comes through my headset instead of the car stereo. No problem says I. I go into the bluetooth settings for my particular headset while it's paired and uncheck the box that tells it to play audio through my headset. Problem is solved. Wrong. The setting doesn't stick.
The next time I got in my car and paired my headset, it started playing through the headset. This time I dug through the menus and made doubly sure that I had ticked the box. I backed all the way out to the home screen and the setting seemed to have stuck. Then I went all the way back into the menu and the settings again. The setting was still there and seemed to have stuck. Wrong. Turned the headset off and turned it back on again. Same thing. A2dp turned back on. How can I permanently disable this? I'm using a BlueAnt T1 if that makes any difference.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just got a new 16gb class 10 sdcard yesterday. I formatted it, partitioned it w/ killertonez a2sd, and flashed Velocity .3 with Turbo4 and OC kernel. When my phone reboots, I get a notification that reads "SD card removed" and it will not load my ROM or anything. I can manually re-insert the card, but none of my data will load; and every time I reboot or power cycle my phone, I get the same error message. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary and I've wiped/reflashed a few times now. I know I am doing it correctly - is this just a card or phone issue? Is there a script to permanently mount the card?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been using Eclipse for a few weeks but for the life of me I cannot find a way to save some of the settings for the editors for JAVA and Android. By this I mean - save them so that from one project to another these settings remain the same without my having to go back into preferences and changing them each time:
1. Size of recently opened files list: 10
2. Displayed and saved tab width: 3
3. Insert spaces for tabs: ON
4. Show line numbers: ON
5. Set MY choice for Code Templates
6. Typing - Automatically close "Strings" - OFF
Parens, square & angle brackets - OFF
7. Automatically insert at correct Position - Semicolons - Off
Braces - ON
I have tried until I am blue in the face to do this to no avail.
I have a galaxy nexus and I am wondering if there is a way to permanently hide the Softkeys whilst retaining the status bar (yes I know about expanded desktop). I use LMT's PIE feature to navigate and I find it much more useful. I personally like PIE better so I have more screen space.
