OUCH! WHAT are you going to do? flash another rom maybe?

well thats 2 roms that didnt work, maybe try another and if that doesnt work then revert to the stock htc probably

Hi jmealiff92
You have to be patient enough to allow the ROM, Kernel and the GPS signal to adjust itself. Today may not work, but tomorrow can. (i'm not sure why, its weird). Lol. Im currently using LeeDrOid v2.2.3 and it works great. =)

Could be a hardware fault.

Accelerometer dead?

Hi all,
I have a problem. I have a brown htc desire.
I rooted it and flashed a custom ROM and radio.
The custom ROM is DJDroid. But now i cant get my phone to go in landscape mode.
Even in the app accelerometervalues i only get 0's. So it's not working!
A friend of mine has the same rom and radio, and it works great there.
What can i try to fix this? Or is it hardware dead?
Thanks in advance.
Dennis
Also here some problems...
Please test also the magnetic compass after the update to Radio:
32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
It works not correct in horizontal position...
It stuck, moves 180 degrees and needs often calibration.

I have this radio already. It comes with DJDroid. But with this radio i have the accelerometer problems Is it a bug in this radio? Because video recording in 720P works great in this radio, maybe they made something else corrupt ??
I reflashed the Radio, and flashed Defrost 2.0 for now. But even in this ROM it doens't ****ing work What can i do? I neeeeed landscape :|
hmm, I tested with the same app and my acclerometer works...
Please test an older Radio...

It's an unbranded Desire
An update from me : After flashing an old Radio & old ROM (Defrost 0.7) it works again It works like a charm. No problems at all. But where the problem lies, i don't know ! :O
If all else fails, try dropping on a HTC ROM, test landscape mode, rooting it, test landscape mode again, and then flash a Cooked ROM and see if there is any differance
NINJA EDIT > Nice work sorting it mate

In a few moments i will try the latest radio & DJDroid V1 I will keep you guys updated!
Here is te last update : Flashed the latest radio and DJDroid V1 and everything works perfect. Even in the landscape modus. Strange...
Whoop Whoop, proof you can;
a) Flash as much as you want
&
b) Sticking to it eventually fixes it
Yay, this is really great. It worked for like several weeks, no problems at all.
I updated my rom to DeFrost 1.3(i always update to the latest instantly) and my accelerometer is dead again.
How can i fix it now? Completly wipe & format everything again ? :O I don't hope so!
If you have SpareParts installed, go check the rotation settings there. It might be set to portrait only.

I don't have spareparts So that can't be the problem.

It was removed from DeFrost ?
I also have accelerometer problems with CM6 Bravo nightly builds. I know at first it worked, and now suddenly it doesn't.
I'm at work currently so I cant mess with it too much. I will try when I get home tonight.
If you find anything out let me know so I can try/do the same to fix it. I'll also update here if I find a proper easy fix.
thanks
I flashed the latest leaked RADIO ROM and now everything is working perfectly again.
A bug in the radio?

Best Radio For o2 Network???

Ok ppl im on o2 and using this radio
32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17
but when I connect to a call I get a 2 second silence after answering or someone picking up (only on my side), could this be the radio or the rom?
The rom im using is Redux.
Should I try another radio, and if so which is best at the moment.
Thanks Kev

Think I'm digging up an old past here but I'm in need of the latest radio, just flashed a custom ROM and my signal is now rather poor.
Edit: Sourced radio and fixed my issue.

The thread shows some 3rd part apps for wifi tethering. But when I install them and give them root permissions the wifi does not start. Under wifi it shows (Error).
Test if your WiFi antenna is misplaced.
Remove battery lid and put it back on again, making sure its proper on

This is a pretty common issue for custom roms. And in most custom rom, they should be fixed already.
In my opinion, the problem you are facing is most likely rom related issue, so it is best you go back to the thread where u downloaded the rom and browse through to see fixes. Or simply update to the latest version of your rom.
well i went through the forum and to my surprise or unfortune no one has reported abt the issue i m facing. and i checked the rom official site,the rom i m using is indeed the latest stable rom, i even checked my phone's wifi antenna its not hampered or has moved from its position.

You can try re-downloading cm7.2rc3. If it doesn't work, download cm7.2rc2 to see if it works, restore your apps after you find out if it's working. That rom is Gb and shouldn't be having those issues.

Well this is what I ve done.I was using cynogenmod rc2. I flashed rc3 hoping this would fix the issue. So thing is if i flash it back to rc2 it would not add up to solution.

Sorry, coffee hasn't kicked in yet. I have no idea what you just said.
Sent from a dream.
let me explain in a very explicit manner possible. i was using cynogenmod 7.2rc2 long back with same wifi problem so some user on xda advised me to update the rom to latest version ;7.2rc3, so i did the update.but when i started facing same problem with 7.2rc3, i reported this in a post on xda to which u replied to downgrade the rom to rc2. but as i ve aforementioned that before reporting it on xda i was using 7.2rc2 version with the same wifi problem so corollary of this is if i downgrade it back to rc2 there ll b no difference except i ve to redownload my apps and configure settings.
and one thing more i ve re-flashed the cynogenmod7.2rc3 but that also does not work.

Thank you for the clarification
I seriously gotta stop reading/replying before waking up properly.

I'll look into this.
Does it happen with other roms?
Sent from a dream.
no before cyanogenmod i was using android revolution hd 6.3.5 sense 3.5. it was smooth and most stable rom i ever used. the answer to ur question is wifi problem does not happen with other roms.

Just want to make sure. You re-downloaded the file and flashed with a clean install and the same problem happens, right?
Sent from a dream.
yes i downloaded the file from cynogenmod official page. and did all the recommended steps like wiping cache,formatting,wipinkg dalvik cache and wiping battery stats.
I just did a quick search and couldn't find anything either.
When you try to use the usb or wifi tethering, to what are you connecting to? to a laptop? what operating system are you using on the laptop if such is the case?
yes i m connecting to a laptop. its dell n5010. os is windows 7 ultimate 64bit.

Damn, I accidentally thanked you. I was saving that one since it was going to be the 100th thanks I was going to give.
Go to the market, download cat log or any other way you prefer to create a logcat and post it in the cyanogen forum, or here see if someone can help. I'm thinking it's something particular to your phone/radio/service provider.
I'll flash the rom either tonight when I get home or tomorrow when I have some time. But I doubt I'll be able to reproduce the same issue.
Edit: have you tried fixing permissions in 4ext recocery or whatever you use? Sometimes it helps.
Sent from a dream.
what does this logcat do and is it a android software or what? sorry for the noob question since i vent heard this logcat thing before.

Search for logcat and find which one you are more comfortable using. There are several ways of getting one.
Logcats help developers figure out what is causing the problem.

GPS broken after trying Radio Update

A while ago I rooted my DesireHD and installed a custom rom.
After that my GPS didn't work anymore..
I tried a new custom Rom and tried updating 'Radio' with another Rom / Update.
Now, all my apps crash that use GPS, which is kind of a problem, since I use Google Maps & Navigator a lot..
Can anyone please tell me what a good DHD Rom / Radio is these days I should use, and how I can install these properly?
Thanks!

I know how to search this forum, thanks anyway... Problem is, there are threads with 20+ radio updates.. How would I know which one is best, and what is the proper order to install, the radio first, or android first..

I have loaded half a dozen ROMs from the Desire forum and don't have any problems with wifi, mainly problems with camera or video or low sound notifications.
