Develop Bugs

[Q] Is the sms to wrong receiver bug still here?

Hello everybody. I'm interested in buying an HTC Desire as I found a nice offer and have been following Android developement for a while.
There is a big question mark though, and it's the infamous "sms to wrong receiver" bug. It has been spotted a few times in the past, and even though it's pretty rare I'd like to be sure that it may never occur.
I heard that update 2.3.2 for nexus S fixes this one, is there a solution for the Desire?
Thanks for your help

I think the solution is wait for Gingerbread... I hope we get 2.4 or at least 2.3.3...

Are there custom Roms which state clearly to have taken care of this issue and solved? Yeah this is a big concern for me

factor reset
maybe work

The problem is with the stock android sms app, as it doesn't just send it to the wrong contact, but somehow you end up in the wrong thread because of it handling jumping in and out of the app in an odd way. So using another sms app like chomp or handsend should resolve it.
Personally i haven't had it happen to me on the htc sms app either, and i've been using the phone for more than a year.
Also there is of course the roms based on vanilla 2.3.3 like oxygen, which should include the fix for the std. sms app.
edit: 123xdagsm that just shows, that you have no idea, what this bug is about.. No factory reset will of course not help, and if you read the thread you would know that he haven't even bought the phone yet.

It happened to me few times that a wrong thread opened.
Never had problem with phone sending to wrong person!

Android 2.3.2 has the SMS fix, the new Gingerbread custom ROMs have all have updated to 2.3.3 so they have the fix.

Thank you all for support, I'm now considering buying a Nexus S as I don't want to mess with ROMs that much (I guess I'll change my mind soon though ). If I can't find it with a decent price a Desire with a 2.3.2+ ROM is my choice!

Android 2.3

When they come out offcially android 2.3 ?

Well seems like even HTC don't know the answer to this.

How about adding age limit to this site?

I'm afraid that would "work" like elsewhere over the net

HTC initially said end of Q2, which would mean end of this month but I am unsure if that has changed or not.

Good morning

I don't think that an age limit is what should be added. I believe that we should add an account age limit(about 1-2 months or so) to prevent noob spamming.... There are more 13 year olds here who know how to root/flash here that some 25'ers

It will be rolled out when it's finished.

I was bored one day and went on to the Desire wiki page.
They claim there it'll be released this month.
Either way, the outcome won't help me either way, I'm using a custom ROM.

Even folks who use custom roms MAY benifit from a HTC released 2.3 version of the system as it may be used in future custom roms.
And who knows despite of all the usual whining about HTC they MAY have made some improvments!

Dhd latest firmware question.

Hi all,
From what I've read and partialy understand you can't root the stock Rom.
Now I thought ous it possible to some how downgrade it to a rootable firmware then flash custom rom..... But please bare in mind I'm new to all things Android. Lol
Thanks for your time.

The devs need to do two things : 1. to find a way to get the root privilege so 2. to turn off write-protection of the internal sd so flashing the CWM recovery image and custom roms is possible.
There used to be one or some kernel vulnerabilities to achieve these. They found some methods to get a root privilege and also forced the Linux kernel to load a kernel module to turn off write protection. Now these wouldn't work any more as the stock update fixed these security issues.
The scenario for iOS is the same too. IPad2 jailbreaking is nowhere to see either. It is a different issue, but the morale behind these is if the vendors don't support JB in iOS or rooting in Android , the future of JB or Rooting may be gloomy.
Though HTC announced its hboot unlocking, I still doubt if write-protection can be turned off. My next Android phone could be Nexus series, 'cos Google Phone was/is/will be always open, if Google doesn't change the policy.

Radio for gen y visionx b5

I have a G2 with desire z hboot and running genY visionX B5 i was thinking of upadating my radio=26.02.01.15_M2 first of all i want to know the benefit of doing this and the best one to flash i was told it helps in battery life and communication enhancement ..............pls.........help...........:good:

I REALLY NEED HELP PLSSSSS :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

There are too many factors to tell you what radio will work best for you, depending on your location, who you use your phone, what ROM/modifications you use
having said this many find the latest T-Mobile radio the best (.19) of course I promise you nothing but for me it gives great battery life and reception.
There is a thread in the developers section with links to every radio for the vision, try a few out for a few days at a time and see what works best for you. There will also be a link and explanations of the benefits to matching some libs. Edkeys also has a thread on this as well, I suggest reading up a bit and running a few tests by yourself

changing radios in itself or having a different radio won't damage the phone, it is possible to brick your phone anytime you tamper with firmware, but unlikely so long as you read up and know what you are doing.
not by a computer so I won't send links but the search function works well, just search the dev section

well that's not always the case, sometimes gps will lock immediately still. its a good idea to wipe efs though, if you read through that thread and the other threads linked from it there will be all the explanations you need. but again flashing any one radio will not guarantee better reception, gps lock, or battery life, just most people find the .19 radio does

yeeeessss just flashed it every thing isss feelingggg kinda slow but the gps works great pin point me good but am still worried if i have to wipe
cos its slow now i have the wipe file ready which will wipe only the said partition shud i do it cos i hate "slow"

changing radios shouldn't slow down a rom, wipping efs won't speed up a rom

[Q] What to do before selling

Hey guys,
since I got myself a Nexus 4 now I am thinking about selling my good old Desire Z.
Currently I have the JB Test build ROM on it(iirc) and rooted of course. So as I never sold anything modified like that I would like to know if its "common" to roll back to the stock rom/unroot/unlock/ or anything like that.

Unless you know the person you're selling to is a techy I would return everything to stock. This avoids ppl blaming you for stuff not working.

Maybe safe wipe your flash?

How do I do that?

I would also recommend you downgrading it again unless you clearly state that it's a rooted device when selling it!
Also just google for some tipps and tricks on how to completly erase data from your phone
Cheers

As a buyer, I would much rather have a CM-release than the HTC Sense for Desire Z.
