Quickie. I do not know what I have done but it appears I have undocked the onscreen keyboard. How I am not at all sure and I know of no easy way to go back aside from a hard reset. Has anyone been in this situation and found a way back. The functionality of the device is not affected greatly by this quirk and I should not quibble tis much about it, I just tought to ask on the off chance someone has an idea as to what went wrong

has anyone tried to id the hardware driver currently being used in the topaz android release? It would be awesome to get that working and have some turn by turn direction action. I am wondering if it's just pointed at the wrong com port or something else not too difficult to fix? Any information would be helpful. I am technical and I love mobile devices, I want to learn more about android so I can help make the existing ports more usable.

I second this ... PLEASE GPS!!!!
bad sentinel79, bad, go back to the topaz forums, you are not allowed to go anywhere else. lol
GPS would be absolutely great, but then so would sound, reliable wake up, better power management, etc.
The kernel developers are doing everything they can to work on each part feature by feature. But if they hit a roadblock they do not just sit around and wait, they move on and come back later (as is the case with the sound)
GPS will be done when they can get to it, but if anyone wants to jump in and lend a hand, there can never be too much help and ideas.

... you caught me!
Hi all,
I have a friend who has a bricked Legend, and I have said that I will attempt to install a updated ROM for her.....
Problem is, although I have done this a few times with MY LG GT540, I have done nothing with HTC.
Could anyone point me in the right direction for a guide to updating the Legend to the latest ROM, including any downloads that I'd need.
Thanks very much,
Mango
I would start with the sticky at the top of THIS page.
Good luck.
Thanks Dirk (Love the name, by the way!)
But looking through that it's very difficult to get a sense of what I'll need to do, and in what order.....
The LG is pretty easy, as you have a KDZ installer......But on that stickie it seems a bit random!
Right....having now got the Legend in front of me, I need to know what to do!
It seems to be having a software glitch on the previous update.....Cannot get in to see which update it was, and my friend has no idea either.
She had sent it back to V'phone, and also HTC to get them to do something, but they keep fobbing her off.
I said I'd have a look, but it really doesn't seem as straight forward as LG!
Are you ever able to boot into a working OS (doesn't sound like it), or does it crash out before loading the desktop?
What sort of errors or faults are we dealing with here basically?
Basically, it starts up.....
It loads up the OS, but from there, it can take anything from 2-5mins to freeze up.
The notifications bar will not pull down, and then, when it does it sticks.
I've said that she probably needs it to be re-installed.....(Hopefully with a newer version).
Vodaphone and HTC have both been useless for her. I woulda thpought HTC would've just flashed it and be done....but no!
So I thought I'd come searching on here! But the sticky doesn't help me that much! I'm from the LG forum, where everything is set out in !idiot guides"!!
I do work in IT, so I am pretty competent, but haven't touched an HTC before!
Thanks for your replies
Right....Done a factory reset, and when the Legend comes on, it is completely unresponsive.
Plus, the screen image shakes from side to side, in a quite violent manner!
It would appear that I can move the screen without even touching it!
Any help is gratefully received!!
Sounds like a hardware issue then. If you were able to factory reset without any improvement at all i'd say that software problems are pretty much ruled out.
If i were you i would have a good rant at Vodafone until they agree to swap the unit with a working model.
Thanks again, Dirk....
I have emailed her to let her know your thoughts!.
Long, dark tea-time awaits
Always a pleasure to speak with a fellow fan
Good luck with the phone. Vodafone have always caved in when i've kicked up a stink about various faults etc so i hope your friend gets a result.
Apparently, she has already been intouch with both HTC and V'phone....and neither are prepared to do anything about it.....
Still worth a screaming match with them???
On an unrelated point..... Did you see Steven Mangan as Dirk? Was disappointed that the book was so thoroughly mashed, but was still entertaining!
Looking to meet up with a more knowledgeable member (I'll buy lunch/dinner) to help me root, cid, to be able to flash roms....
I am a little knowledgeable, but the chance of my bricking my phone does not weigh my options here at this point..there's seems to be too many steps for my background...
I have had the Inspire and been flashing roms left and right but to do this on the One X and type code etc. , is just not cutting it and need your assistance.
I appreciate any response!
Thanks in advance,
SurferJD

It's actually not that complicated. There is a One Click root tool that you use for root that does it all for you. You just plug your phone into any computer with the drivers installed and run the tool, and in a few minutes you are rooted, with no user input. For boot loader unlock, you will need to do something on your own but that just involves copying and pasting some text. You use a one click tool for that too. I'm sure if you search around on the root and boot loader threads you'll figure it out enough for you to do it on your own.
I'll do it if you fly me out to Florida. I'll even take a redeye so the airfare will be cheap.
There are one clicks available for root, unlock, and recovery. Just did it today. Wasn't planning tobdo it for a while, but I tried to use a keyboard mod on stock rooted, didn't work now I'm running Clean Rom 2.4 and couldn't be happier. But I have been flashing Roms for over abfew years, and many phones.

Honestly?
NEVER EVER EVER have someone else do this stuff for you.
If you ever come across a problem later on that needs to be fixed, where is your help going to be? these forums+your mind. if someone else does it for you, you are more likely to panic when something comes up.
it is INFINITELY better to understand what you are doing and do the work yourself vs having someone else do everything for you.
if it is too hard for you to accomplish after utilizing the tools and information available to you here, then you are not ready to do it or have it done to your phone. leave it stock until you ARE ready...actually ready, not just thinking you want it.

Nothing original here, I did the accidentally deleted a whole chain of texts thing, they had to do with a death in the family and now I really want them back. I understand I can use 3rd party app software to try and get them back, but I'm not sure if they all require rooting the phone, and how dangerous this is. I've changed settings in my laptop bios and updated it, so I'm not scared of getting into tricky software areas, but would like clarification on the dangers of rooting/retrieving. I don't want to lose anything else. If anyone has advice, it'd be very much appreciated!
Also, tips on good apps would be great.
Thanks
Hi guys,
Apologies if i have posted on the wrong thread but i have a big problem and i’v been tearing my hair out.. i have posted before on here with few other problems few have been sorted but this ones just cropped up few weeks ago and iv messed with settings and still but getting no where so i am here for help..
I have a Chinese android headunit uis7862 6+128.. its a dual system with android 10 and switch back to original car operating system.. problem i have is the touch function on the cars operating system is not working at all.. but on the android system its working fine? Its not like there is a fault with the original operating system as i can change thru dab aux etc with steering controls and it shows on unit its changing also sat nav works as street names change as im driving and all seat functions i change on my heater control show on screen as its been changed..
So far i have changed the ribbon from android board to original multimedia unit board which is attached to back of system… i have done a reset with button under mic.. i done a firmware update with files off here 3 weeks ago abut this problem started before that..
Any one shed any light on this please as i cant set my clock without going through original system software and few other things
Its a android system uis7862 fitted to a Jaguar XJ X351
Any tips? Advice please
Anyone help?
It's not that we don't want to help you, but I guess nobody has seen or used a system like yours before.
The only thing I can advise is to have a look at the Jaguar UK forum.
Edit: and take a look at this post. The topic is different but is it a likewise configuration like you have?

Thank you and sorry i dont mean to offend anyone, i was frustrated and annoyed as there is no support of the buyer and to top things up i done a factory reset on the unit to see if it would sort the problem out! But it did not but has bought me more problems The fyt centre does not delete and on top of that no matter what i have tried no launcher is working on the unit, when i try to select a launcher which has installed it comes up with a error saying it has stopped working!
This android business is new to me and im not very savvy with im happy to pay someone to sort the problems out as time is very short due to work etc.. may be if i upload a video of what the problmes are? Do yo think that would help?
Thank you and sorry again

Maybe. If there is a user who recognises your problem and knows a solution, he/she might help you.
For me personally, and I think most others: We have never seen such a combination and don't know anything about it. In that case a video won't help as we have no knowledge of your unit combination and how it is supposed to work.
