2.2 do not support Chinese？
and will it？

Mine is Diamond，where I can find a lite rom for android.

232603 are you talking about the language support? wouldn't see any reason it wouldn't be supported in the future if it isn't already.
as for a literom, are you gsm or cdma? are you looking for a rom to boot android or dualboot android and winmo?

We haven't built it in. I'm sure we have it in the source though. once the builds start getting more stable i'll start adding those in. For now we just fixing bugs.

Bypass Google Accounts? Or alternatively set it up over a wireless network.
Howdy,
I have been watching the Android development for the Fuze with quite some interest for a while now, and it has made leaps and bounds over the past several months to the point where I decided to try it out.
It successfully booted into Android; however, I have data access to my phone disabled. This seems to cause the Google accounts set up to fail and causes some sort of infinite loop where it keeps asking to set up my account
Is there A) any way to bypass the Google Account set up and set it up later or B) jump on a wireless network (or alternatively jump to shell)?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

We've removed the SetupWizard and default provision so no more setup loop.

I don't know why I hit it, but I rebooted the phone and it was gone.
Thanks for your help.

Hi, i've been using xandroid since last month and everything is running OK except the battery is draining and charging quickly (1-2 hours) which is pretty unusual for normal usage or charging.
What I've noticed that this can also happened even in sleep mode. Did there is any way to preserve battery power? Usually it can stand up to 8 hour on WM6.5 (gps, data connection on).
I am using HTC Touch Pro (RAPHAEL).
Anyway it was the greatest effort you have put to make this device running Android

It is truly a problem when you only get a couple of hours of usage and even on sleep mode. There must be something you're using that keeping the device awake. To test what happening you can use adb logcat and it will let you know which process is kept on running or you can start a new build and test every app individually. Its a lengthly process but in the end if will help you and allow you to achieve greater battery life in the long run.

remap hard keys? my hard keys on the front bottom of the phone don't seem to work other than directional. Is there a way to make them work for back and menu? or remap some keyboard key to back and menu?

i changed the wall paper and then got into the endless xdaandroind logo boot screen. WTF ???? lost everything because of a wall paper from the ROM gallery which suppose to be ok.

A couple of questions about 2.2:
1. Is there anyway we can get slide to answer back?
2. Has 3d been activated on this build?

ROM has no effect on Android, that we've found.
Sounds like you didn't copy the startup.txt... Did you follow all the directions?

Yep there are definitely some stability issues and will create an infinite loop. Until we get the builds more stable these issues will be present

Isn't slide to answer default? Otherwise we'll implement it in future builds
And yes 3d is activated in this build. From the very beginning of 2.2 and recently back into 2.1

First of all which device are you using and type?
This sounds like a very strange behavior and making a layout like this would be kind of useless. Does those buttons work in winmo?

yahoo issues?
ok guys weird problem. not sure if anyone else has it.
i use mail.yahoo.com at work. it has the chat feature. i use it to send text and msg's while at my desk.
i've noticed that since i've started using froyo, whenever my phone boots up or comes out of deepsleep, i get signed out of my yahoo chat with a message that i've been signed in somewhere else.
now i have no messenger on my device. i have yahoo mail through the stock android email app along with my gmail and exchange mail. i also have a yahoo news widget.
i have had my g/f send me a message after i am kicked out. on her messenger it lists me as mobile. i have never received a message from her on my device.
any ideas on this?

[Q] Secondhand phone & phone tracking

Hi all,
I just bought a DHD secondhand and the previous owner seems to be tracking me. A joke maybe, maybe not. In any case, is there a way to stop him from keeping tabs on where I shop and more importantly, live. I've done a hard reset, will that do the trick?

i dont know what application he is using to track you, but if its installed in /system a hard reset wont remove it.. your best bet is to root and install a custom recovery, you can them format the /system partiton, after that you are free to install a stock or custom rom of your choosing

Are you sure your being tracked? (paranoia?)
But if you want to be sure then formatting fully and reinstalling a ROM is the way to go. Over in the Development Section you'll find all the information/guides/apps/ROMS you need.

May i ask how do you know that he is tracking you?
Anyways, programs like Theft Aware survive factory resets and so on. They can also activate gps without the symbol in the notification bar and the previous owner is able to remote control your device with sms commands and you wouldn't notice it because the pogram hides it. He can also request your exact position, even you have a new sim card in your phone.
Try to go to the settings->applications and look for some apps with names you haven't installed. Can be something like 'Beatbox Machine' or even something with HTC in its name.

Don't think Htcsense.com would work because the email address and password for the account have to be put in the phone.

It might survive a full wipe, but what about flashing a new RUU?

Flashing a RUU will get rid of all tracking software.

[Q] Avoid Desire to restore programs after reset

Hello friends.
I'm getting pretty annoyed by my DHD. Everytime I reset the phone to factory defaults it starts to reinstall all the programs that was installed prior to the reset. Is there a way to avoid this?

How often do you reset to default?
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

Well once a month. Especially when my youngest daughter have had put her fingers on it

Go to settings ---> privacy and uncheck backup my settings....this would do it! Enjoy!

I had the same issue when flashing a new Rom. Now I disable the option sphuyal pointed out, but I skip adding my Google account until I have disabled the restore option.

The rule for our son is that he does not touch Mummy and Daddy's phone. He has his own phone, which Mummy and Daddy are not allowed to play with.
This might solve your problems... depends how old your daughter is

I know, but she's so sweet and I can't help lending it to her. She loves to play Angry Birds and just to hear her laughs is resetting worth once awhile.
Thanx for all your advices. This works like a charm.

Factory reset using hardware
Sorry to bring up this post, but I believe this will help a lot of people
1. There are two types of factory reset inthe HTC Desire (or Desire HD)
The software is via the settings (I realised this method still keep rouge applications or applications with virus/adware.
The hardware method is by removing and inserting the battery and holding down the volume down button as you press the power button.
You should see a white screen with three Android figure.
Using volume down scroll to reset. This is the ultimate reset
2. I was downloading some games from Android market and I got an adware "virus" that spam my other applications. It refuses to uninstall even I have uninstalled the other applications. So be careful with what you download.
3. I am AMAZED my HTC desire HD can actually sync my calendar, sms and phone list after that! I love the HTC desire HD.

[Q] Why does HTC locations wants to activate?

Hi all,
i've the new RC mix 3d on my htc desire HD. For a while it was working as a charm. But, after some hours it gave me the same issue as before. HTC locations is asking if I want to buy their maps, what is pretty annoying because i dont use it.
How can i get rid of it? Is there a way to shut it off? Or maybe it's handy if someone knows how this is possible, its the stock rcmix 3d nothing special, I dont have GPS on, and it's still asking

Anyone? I realy want to get rid of it because it's pretty damn annoying!

Try to use the app "autostarts" available at the market or somewhere else ( and disable Google maps in thelist "after start"... that should work

Allright Thanks, I downloaded Automanager, I deactivated the HTC locations shiznit, but after half a day, it's automaticaly booting. Is there an other way to get passed this issue?

Try to activate it once and then deactivate it in its settings... I dont know something about Automanager, but in "Autostarts" you have different categories, where you can deactivate Apps starting automaticly... thats just the way it works for me...
Btw, i'd deactivated the whole Google-Maps app from autostart, i think that had direct effects to locations app... maybe thats the way to do...
sent using tapatalk

allright, i want to download autostarts but you need to pay for it that's why ive downloaded the other app. Maybe you can upload it or something? I will try to shut all the google map things off.
Do you also know why my speaker is always on? I've searched douzen forums, but its not dirty the usb port, and after a reset its okay but somehow it begins again. thanks

Pls help
Every 5mins HTc locations window will pop up and ask me to purchase the premium navigation and its really irritating and taking the phone crazy,speaker would be on by default for all the calls and i formatted the entire phone n sd card and later found its such a cheap trick by HTC..can any one could help me to deactivate HTC Locations...

Sense Clocks won't work.

Well I did a video to explain the issue, but no HTC clocks work. I started having this issue this morning. I accidentally dragged it off screen, now they won't come back. I'm sure it's something simple, but I can't figure it out. Only had this phone for about a day now.
Video Link
Also, while I have an open help thread, hopefully someone will know, is there a root method available for the M9 yet?

Firstly, there is root and S off for the phone, S off is £25 root free its all in the forum, and the search option works well.
Secondly a quick factory reset will resolve this for you, but why not just re-add the clock via the personalize option?

Well adding the widget back doesn't work, as shown in the video. I'm not sure if that link worked or not. But it just disappears. I was hoping there was a setting that I checked that messed it up. As for the factory reset, I want that to be the last resort. I finally got it working decently. I hate sense, but if I have to use it, I have to have it set up a certain way. And I finally got it right, know what I mean ?

Try restarting your phone.
Alternatively, go to Manage Apps, All, and stop Sense Home. If necessary, clear Cache and clear data. You probably will lose your sense customization..

Just did, it started working again. I didn't know they updated like this. Also a developer option was messing with it.
