[Q] Newbie Desire Z Questions

Hello,
as a Desire Z newbie please allow some questions:
everytime I release the keyboard on my Desire Z the display gets unlocked.
For my needs I wish that screen is NOT unlocking when keyboard gets moved.
Are there any chances to do so ?
Thanks in advance.

Everything I've seen suggests that this is not fixable.

hm, that´s sad. anyway, thank you for answer.
there´s something more that I want to change on my DZ:
is it possible to change background to pure black ? maybe not to use any background picture or wallpaper to safe RAM and get a screen with deep black background ?
thanks for help
&
greets.

Hi,
If you upload or download to the phone a black "picture" you can have that. There is no option to not to have backgroung in a way you wanted to. (I wanted to as well but no option for that so stuck with a black picture)

Yes, it's posisble. If you want it rooted, use this. If you want it completely back to stock, I believe you'll need to downgrade, then flash this RUU. Downgrade instructions are here.

[Q] after trying to delete main google account my phone stuck on "droid" screen

[Q] after trying to delete main google account my phone stuck on "droid" screen
I just wanted to change the main google account to enter the market. I just made a little search and I sth. says that "open root explore, go data=> system => find accounts.db and rename it accounts.db.bak" I've that this and nothing changed. Another one was saying "Go Applications=>Manage Applications google apps clear" I've done it too but no difference again. then I see this vid /watch?v=aFinbsXqTE0, system=> framework => rename framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.bak" but after the "force close" the phone reset itself and stuck on "droid" screen.
somebody tell me what to do, please

Part of the forums rules is not to use foul language by the way, I don't care but some people might so you should refrain from doing so.
As for your problem, you will probably have to follow the above post's advice. I don't understand why you couldn't have just changed the account through the market? Why bother with root explorer and deleting/renaming potentially crucial files? Makes no sense.

Finally, I got some answers! I feel like I'm in Fringe or sth.

-story time
My phone came from Germany and I live in Turkey. There are so many taxes and prices are higher and higher.
-
I remember that it was firstly opening as windows m. (white back, green front) and then turns a screen that loads android and keeps going. I guess that means ROM. how do we do hard reset? or reflash? thanks.

Then sorry for the word. I hope that It wouldn't be problem for the admin. actually in the subtitles of the movies, they translate it as "hell", "damn" or etc.
-story again
I used it with my simcard at the first week when I get my phone and entered the market with a HTC sense account. But after the first week my damn operator closed the my phone to calling because of I haven't registered it yet with a passport. Then I have to use it without the card until I find a passport and when I took off the simcard the HTC sense passed away and when I tried to open market it asked me the password of the account and I had no idea about it.

I can't say that they don't. and if you ask "Y U cheating " they'll probably say, "but everybody does it"
Then back to the my Leo, I don't really know what drivers are you talking about and I tried to download the file twice and it disconnected %90 at my first try, %30 at the second try /facepalm

Download the HD2 NAND toolkit, boot your phone into bootloader, connect USB to computer and run a Task29. This will clear everything from your phone. From here you can flash radio, magldr, cwm and ROM as normal

I've hold the vol down button until the colors but the toolkit just can not find it
Edit: My Windows is downloading a driver "Qualcoomm CMDA Technologies MSM". it must be the driver that serbian guy told me

I've just done the work with the toolkit! but it doesn't seems like I've done it with the phone. It's showing me the white screen with green htc sign since a few minutes. I don't know if I have to do sth. else
edit: thank you british guy. now my phone stuck on white screen. thank you /facepalm

Yeah, Task29 deletes everything. Now you can reflash Radio, MAGLDR, CWM then your ROM.

I would recommend flashing NAND Android. this is a complete guide on how to do so.

Just listen to me. First flash winmo to see if everything is ok and to setup device sync (driver)

OK, I'll listen to you. 4shared.com is forbidden in Turkey so that there are problems with downloading from this webside, so I couldn't download the document you sent me first. Today a friend of me bring me ICS with a flash disc and now I'm trying to find a way to upload it my phone. It seems like theres a lot of thing that I need you to teach to me dear Serbian bro.......

when you ask a question, it helps if you specify the rom you're using, what you're trying to update or do. just posting an error msg is no help.
more details the better...
agreed...stop posting a new thread for every issue...keep some sense of problem history.

yeah, sorry about that. I could never figure out what was actually wrong. so I broke down and switched to hd2o's rom which was fully updated. SO i have it now. thanks for all you help and sorry for the post thing.

glad you took my original advice from days ago and use a rom that is simpler to install. and actually, you'll have to reflash once hd2o updates his rom with the official tango.

It is what it is. I made a backup so it really should be that big of a problem. the marketplace is the main reason I finally gave up. It should be simple to install a new rom now that I have the hang of it.

there reall no way to backup/restore a wp7 installation. when you flash the next version from the dev you'll have to set up everything again.
marketplace issue? marketplace works fine on yuki..all the roms. anyway, enjoy your wp7.

thanks for all your help. quick question though, is there a way to change my green call button back to the regular call button instead of the camera?

try installing the app immediately after flashing the rom and and the hard reset. hope you hard reset after flashing the rom...you should always hard reset after the initial flash.

HELP! need screen flipped and moved or android funos

Hi I have a Gw05 from aliexpress it has the mtk6572 and android funos it said in the ad it came with the playstore and it didnt so i tried to add the playstore and ended up in an error loop when idecided to add the files to the main system. My wife has the same watch in tact and I cant seem to get a working firmware from it using the mtk tools.
The only firmware I have been able to successfuly flash is from the Qw09 and the screen is 1/4 of the way down to far (there is like white fuzz in place where screen should be)
and it is upside down. My question is can I somehow flip and move the screen so it is correct?
If not does anyone have any funos firmware I can try mt6572 and if not
can you tell me how to get the working firmware from my wifes watch or point me to a link that tells me in english how to do it. thanks

May be at least the screen rotation part can be healed with this software, where the screen rotation is one of available actions.

Hey thanks for sharing ^^ I've tried the app but i'm still having 1/4 of screen not showing image, it's like screen moved down. I liked the app so i will use it when i have a full working watch xD... Now i guess only solution is re-installing original firmware
Thank you

You can experiment with the wm command. Start shell using adb and next try wm command, it will list it's options. There is the overscan option which can move screen by xLeft,yTop,xRight,yBottom. I haven't the issues like yours and not sure if it will help, but you can try.

What would be the best way to make a fresh start ? should it be slot A or B ?

Really bro? Do you know how to flash the ROM properly? If not you're being a complete a**hole as people will put their resource on that problem just because you don't follow the flash instructions properly. You're issue is really weird and shouldn't be occurring at all, maybe that's a hardware issue or some of the image files of the Stock ROM you download must be corrupt.

Hello EdWin
Thanks for the very nice answer. Its a pity you lost that much time for such an idiot answer
I've been flashing phones since first release of android and no phone has ever been bricked...
- So yes i know how to flash a rom...
Lately i've notice the android structure changed, talking about slots... Which i dont know very well...
- sorry being an asshole but I wanted to have an input on how to do a clear fresh start...
- concerning my issues... Confirm this is happening... On the October update i dont have any issue... And on December update touch screen is not working well, it work once after i shut down the screen and put it back on...
Unless you have anything constructive i suggest you dont loose anymore time to make stupid answer !

Have a look at my guide over here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/ota-official-fastboot-image-n2g47h-7-12-t3728929
It should answer all of your questions and it includes the proper batch/ shell script files which automate the flashing for you straight away.
