3rd Dash on the way

Tmobile is sending me my 3rd Dash, I know this one is gonna be the same lagged out pos. They offered a shadow, but that phone is garbage. Should I just keep playing this send back the phone, get a new one and hope they offer me something better, or take this new phone they're sending and flash the rom right away?

If you flash the rom with one from kavana or rickwyatt you always have the option of putting the original rom if you need to send it back again.

word, now the tedious task of finding out the best rom and the instructions for installation, this forum is a mess lol

to tell you the truth is not too bad i upgrated mine in like 15 to 20 minutes last night, im ussing rickwaytt version 23 if u want to downloaded it have the link in my signature just make sure you unlock ur phone. if u got any question just post it here ill try to help but there is plenty of people willing to help around here

Do not get the Shadow, it is garbage... trust me...

Speed sounds more important to you than anything.
1) Use Kavana's ROM, or, even better, Ricky's Vanilla ROM
2) Do not install Voice Command.
3) Do not choose a CHome homescreen with the media goodies.
4) Install your most essential apps to the devince, never to the storage card. Install nothing non-essential.
5) Overclock it to 240. This is solid on any dash.
Do the above and your phone will be as fast as anything on the market, and as funtional, at this point in time. If it still doesn't suit your needs, get a different phone and a dedicated UMPC and 'tooth them.

p.s. I'm also on my 3rd dash,and Tmo has nothing else I would accept. I've checked. and tried a wing and a shadow first hand.

Dash all the way man

There is a program install that I've read it works like My favs, but i dont use it as much so i cant realy say how well it works.

Don't Worry
It just means that the neat T-Mobile MyFaves interface won't be there. Whenever you call someone on my faves, the charges are still the same; their phone number hasn't changed so why would calling one of them by dialing their phone number change?
You can still add an app that will put a MyFaves like feature on your phone. Plus, there are ROMS with this feature built into it.

so did your other dash's break???
cause i read online, before i got mine, that the screen would break if i dopped it, and i gotta tell ya ive dropped mine a few times and it doesnt even have a scratch on it.

I was wondering myself what the differences are between Rick and Kavana ROM. I have very successfully installed the Kavana 080408 ROM and it is awesome, but I hear a lot of people raving about Rickys ROM.
What version is the best (I dowloaded the v14 version)?
I love the way Kavana runs and looks. Speed is awesome and interface is fast (not overclocked).
What are the differences?
Thanks...

Run the latest Ricky's rom. I have it below. A lot of problems are fixed in this rom and its really nice. Ricky's rom is just an updated version of Kavana with the bugs fixed and all.

are there any images somewhere. I imagine it looks pretty much the same as kavanas. Right?
Thanks again. I'm downloading right now and popping it on in a moment.

Well, it is but there are some new applications and a lot of bugs fixed. Plus it has Chome slim which could be changed from the tools folder and then go to extras. (check it out you can change a lot of stuff from there and you can make it transparent and all). Check it out and mess around with it once you download it.

Yeah, I will. Cool thanks.....

(Problem) HTC CAMERA Version 6.16 (build 33888)

Hello Guys im using ENERGY 3 ROM 6.5 WM etc etc the ROM that i use is with CAMERA Version 6.16 (build 33888) and i have some problem..
When im shooting image after this NO PREVIEW the screen goes WHITE BLANK screen for a second and thats all!
So The Camera Work and make pictures without a problem but no matter what settings i will do i don`t have any preview of the image i shoot and the screen just froze to white blank for a second!
Do anyone have the same problem?
Or anyone know some tweak or desigion how to fix that problem?
Also in the TF3D in the Gallery when i watch some pictures the pictures not Auto Rotate like in the stock ROM and when you click on them the Pop Up Menu that appear is always on the Left like you always watch the images Landscape mode the Pop Up Menu must to appear in the Bottom if you watch the image in portreit mode and etc etc
If you can help me will be cool
Thanks in advance!

the part where the screen goes white is something HTC puts in on purpose...stupid isnt it?
its supposed to be a flash (but the hd has no flash...)

OMG... if the HTC make like you say this White Blank Screen after shooting this is the most stupid thing i ever see in a phone!
Befor to flash with the WM 6.5 Energy i use Davideuck v 7 and v 6 and etc etc i never had this problem and when i shoot image just im able to see the preview of the image very fast without any Blank White Screen or any froze now this is very stupid and i don`t know one reason why they do that?!
Maybe some developer know how ti fix this do i need to remove some file in the Windows ? or to change the Camera build ? let me know what i should do i know the desigion is to flash my ROM again butttttt i hate that when i have so many programs and etccccc and to start over again with flashing
Tell me if i can do something else
Thanks

i have the same problem in my phone and i don't have my first rom can any one help my and pring me the original room for htc t 8282

only the new camera app does this. this new version is only found in cooked ROMs, not the original.

Actually the "white flash" can be very useful when you use the front camera you can take pictures in the dark they are crappy but that's the only possible workaround and can be very handy at times.

[Q] Tilt 2 Installed new ROM. Hate it. Can I go back to Original Shipped ROM?

I installed the new Tilt 2 ROM 5.2.21887 (Aug 30/2010) I HATE IT
I'm a nuvee about ROMs.
I have this file HTCTilt2ATTOriginalShipROM.exe can I *just* run it like I did with the new ROM to go back to the orinal shipped ROM?
I called HTC they said NO. Idon't believe them.

if im right you can install ANY rom after you used HardSPL:
check the sticked topic in this part of the forum (cant post link as a new user)

You don't need to HardSPL to flash an official ROM (for your specific carrier). The original shipped ROM will flash fine.

Thanks to redpoint73 and all of you guys at XDA.
My only hesitation is becasue de guy at HTC said NO!. (What does he know!)
Summary:
I had original tllt2 ROM.
I just ran the new Updated ROM. no HardSPL (I don't even know what's that)
I don't like the new ROM (only good thing is Videos run smoother)
I had the original ROM file .
Question: RUNning this file is the same as Flashing? (Sorry I'm really noobie)

Thanks LiquidXed,
Fortunatelly I have a file HTCTilt2ATTOriginalShipROM.exe I don't remember how I got it (maybe HTC) but I'm sure is the original.
The only question is that the original ROM was about 8/09 and I believe it was a fix patch on 12/09. I bought my Tilt2 on 4/10 so I don't know if I have to install the patch plus I don't know what kind of patch it was.
Thanks for your help.

yeh the original had some hotfixes, and yes since u flashed it u need to reinstall them. ill attach. i think thats what ur sayin.? there are 2 of them i rared them, if u need em zipped let me know. just unrar them, put em on ur phone, them run them with file explorer. one is for sms and the other is for callerid

Just curious, what didn't you like about the new ROM? I DLd id today and was thinking about installing it. I've had an issue lately where the time gets thrown off, doesn't seem to sunc properly, and I thought this new ROM might address that issue.

Read the oter posts about the new tilt 2 rom.. there is a couple things that suck. I dont like that it dont have the mini task mannager at the top right where it tells u how much memory is free and beable to close app without haven to open the task manager. It dont have arc messaging client, it has HTC message client, and i dont like how it runs, its really slow. the rom itself is fast, it dont show notifications on the home screen , u have to click on the top taskbar to see if u have a missed call and what ever, also the first thing u need to do is install .net 3.0 before u don anything then u need to do a registry edit to get .net to work right.. There is some other things i dont like about it, thats y im not usen it.. wildchild has made a nice update of this new rom, that fixed alot of things that werent right.. but read the form here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737168 then ull get a better view on this about this rom, whether u want it or not. But the best way to deside if u like it or not is to flash it and try it. Make sure u have the original rom just incase u dont like it. If u dont i have a copy and could upload to hotfile or somethin

1-Besides the above items let me add that the deal breaker for me was they reduced the text input keyboard from 6 or 7 to just 3. No more letter recognition, or handwriting or my preferred method, block recognition. I know is not popular, but I love it becuse it's almost impossible to mistype, it the faster way for me, I use my finger or the stylus and the big plus is it doesn't cover the screen! and I don't even have to look at the screen! The current keyboard covers more than half of the scree and in landscape mode it cover almost all the scree, just one line visible at the top. But the worst thing is that even if I am using the hardware keyboaard it pops over and over again.
2- HTCalbum.exe is just useless. in the Photo and Video tab, if I press "album" to change the albums or to see the grid, it opens the grid view for 1 or 2 seconds and returns to swipe view. If I'm quick enough to press the album key it shows the list of albums but it freezes for a while and returns back again to the swipe mode. The I get an error message from Microsoft with a link to report the error when I press the it asks for Wifi connection. And even if I exit the error message keeps poping up
Internet is definitely slower.
I couldn't find a way to add programs to the WM6 Star menu icons and Sense only allows 9.
How you can see the list of ALL PROGRAMS??
On the good side FM reception is a lot better
The one thing that is noticible better is that finally the the video play is very smooth (sigh) I'm going to miss that because I moving back to the original ROM.

Camera colours permanently posterized

Hi there Gurus !
I'm hoping you guys can help...
I've recently bought a phone which was unlocked when I got it (Android Revolution HD 7.0.2 by Mike1986)
The photo below shows the camera on my old HTC Desire HD on the left and the new one on the right. Admittedly, I could have focused both cameras on the subject better, but that's not really the issue. As you can see, the colours on the new phone look posterized.
I've made sure to set the camera back to it's default settings and of course there were no effects being added to the image.
I've also tried fiddling with all the settings (Exposure / Contrast / Satruration / Sharpness / White Balance etc. etc.) but every setting still produces these dodgy colours around everything.
It's probably worth mentioning that I've also tried the [Desire HD Camera guide] on this site and the obvious cleaning of the lens !
I'm really hoping you guys can suggest something that will get this camera working. Because the phone is awesome in all other respects !
Edit: Apparently I'm not allowed to post outside links in my message, so you should find the picture as an attachment...
All help appreciated !!
Thanks,
Wotney

...This doesn't bode well !

Let's see.
New phone, rooted, running custom rom, Right?
Does the issue happen on stock? Didn't check?
Does it happen if you full wipe and install again? Does it happen on another rom?
Is it normal? Two different dhd's can have different componenets.
No idea what you mean by posterized.
Bottom line is, if you've tried the above suggestions, it's a new phone, and if it's a hardware issue, use your warranty. The dhd has a two year warranty in most countries if not all.

Hey - thanks very much for the reply...
It's a new phone to me, not brand new. Although I don't think it's been used properly before. Looks like someone got an upgrade and sold it to one of these companies that then sells it on for them.
I bought it from eBay and the rom was already on there when I got it.
I'm hoping you can see the attached thumbnails at the bottom of my first post - it shows me holding another Desire HD next to the new one. If you look at the image difference - you'll see what I mean by posterized.
I haven't done a full wipe and start again yet, because if I can't get it fixed - I need to return it to the seller.
Whilst I'm prepared to do that - I'd rather get it working !
If there's no other ideas from people, it looks like that is what I'll have to do

Try flashing another rom. Go for any gb rom. If you don't know how to full wipe and swap roms let me know.
Make a backup of that rom before, so that if you still have the issue, you just restore the backup and return it. As long as you don't have all your personal info in the phone.
Sent from a dream.

Teichopsia, Once again - thanks for getting back to me.
I'm going to check with the person I got it from that they'll still accept a return of the phone if I go ahead and try that.
I'll let you know how I get on.
Thanks buddy.

lines on screen ??? Need Help ASAP

Hey i just bought a gs3 carrier is telus. I have random horizontail lines on the screen only when in browser or doing anything else on the ui but not when playing video heres some screen shots everything works fine but they get in the way of text and pictures

Interesting. Because you are able to take a screenshot of it I highly doubt its a hardware issue.
Upon further inspection you can see the line is broken on the last picture. Once again, can't be a problem with the LCD.
You sure that it isn't the background wallpaper that's designed like that? If anything I would reset the phone and see if it disappears. Or bring it back to telus.
OR! Root the phone and install a custom rom. I mean you are posting this in XDA anyways right?? Lol
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app

Im thinking a rom will fix it and its not the walpaper because the lines appear in the browser too i tired changing the wallpaper it didnt work also they arent allways in the same spot they move and flicker as i use the phone but i got a scratch on the back i might just use the 14 day best buy exchange to get a new 1
