[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derausgewanderte:
seeing that you had a number of phones in your hand I assume you know what you are doing.

Your description does not allow anybody to really help you. You need to do a step by step. It may be completely obvious to you when you say when I unplug it it goes black, but it's not to others.

1) what is the state of the phone before you plug it in. Is it working or not?

2) what do you plug it into?

3) when you plug it in, does it play the ringtone or vibrate? It should.

4) When you open Zune software on PC, does it see the phone?

5) when you unplug the phone goes black? Then nothing? just dead?

if it is dead before you plug it in and it comes alive when you plug it in and it goes dead when you unplug it, my suspicion is battery, battery life, maybe not seated correctly. unplug it, plug it back in.

My post would probably be exponentially shorter if you gave more details on what's actually happening.

btw. You did not answer my questions in my post at all. How can I help if you are not answering simple questions? Are you playing a bad joke on us :o
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwiz123:
1 not

2 wall outlet

3nope it just gose to lg screen and stays there

4nope cant see it

5and yep just dead
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derausgewanderte:
well, sounds like dead is the correct word to use. Since you can't get into the phone to do a hard reset via the About button. Try this:

1. Power off the phone. Remove and re-insert the battery to make sure.

2. Press and hold the middle of the Volume button and the Camera button. While holding these buttons press also the Power button.

3. Wait until the screen shows "Cold Boot" then release the Power button only.

4. Keep holding the middle of Volume and Camera buttons pressed until the Welcome screen appears.

If it still fails to boot the next is to try to install a fresh ROM for the Quantum. There is one right here with instructions on how to install for several regions.

good luck

i didnt do anything else
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derausgewanderte:
Well, guess that's what you get from a dead phone off of eBay. Just saw your other threads in the quantum forum. Try to flash the rom that is posted there. Go to an att store (good luck with explaining you got it fromebay)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwiz123:
it works with other battries but i use a captivate battery and its hard to keep it in to start up
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwiz123:
ok i got my battery to day and tryed to do the thing you posted

when i hold the power button it comes on but when i keep holding waiting for the coldboot screen it just turns off
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munkeyphyst:
It sounds like your battery was too drained. If thebattery is really ou of charge, the phone won't start up, even if the phone is plugged in. It might take a few hours on the charger to get enough charge in the battery to run the phone. I suppose if the battery is bad, it'd do the same thing but never actually start.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linushsu:
Hello,

I bought a HTC Desire from Taiwan(China) and would like to change the OS to Swedish (Nordic).

I have tried Morelocale2 but it doesnt work, I figure there is no SWEDISH-ROM or settings for it inside the current STOCK-ROM.

Anyone have the ROM with Swedish?

Or anyone know any other ways to get my phone blonde and blue eyed(Swedish)? :D

Thanks All ! I do appreciate it! ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dexter93:
Root it, install a custom rom and morelocale will work
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linushsu:
which custom ROM do I need ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dexter93:
Anyone will do. On the Stickies (dev section) you will find the desire index. There is the list with all the custom roms. Since you are a beginner , I would recommend leedroid no-a2sd (froyo version is more stable than gingerbread).

In the stickies you will also find a noob proof video tutorial with instructions
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linushsu:
which one should I do first, Root or Custom-ROM ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Root. You have to root to install a custom rom.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linushsu:
I did or I tried, on step 3 the revoked program tells me connection interrupted. What to do? My hboot version is 0.93. 0001 does that make a difference?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dexter93:
Make sure you have the hboot drivers installed, the usb is properly connected and retry;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6950:
Yes, root first.

And, you can only mod CID inside you phone. It can change language.

You should try GB with Insertcoin 1.0.1 experience, it's like you have a new phone ;)

For that you must s-off your phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linushsu:
Thank you all ! It worked out fine, and thanks from my sister too since it's her phone !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bizb360:
make sure you backup your phone after you root it

that way you can go back if your new rom stops working or hangs

Try Khal's ROM for more performance :P
[Milestone XT720 General] anonaye2:
+1 for Khal's ROM. V4 is rock stable for me. Also, please make sure you are using a high-class SDHC card. eg. Class 4/6/10. I switched from the stock Class 2 to Class 6 card and the phone "feels" significantly faster.

Also, I strongly recommend Reverendkjr videos to make sure no steps are missed :--

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elixir911911:
Bear with me guys....I know this is a question and would be better suited in Q&A but Idt anyone in there would no the answer.....I want a red themes phone.....I was able to do the keyboard with HTC IME and I used uot kitchen for the status bar and icons. But I want more than just this....I want to make my sliding tabs on my lockscreen red with red icons. I also want red loading bars and status bars.....pretty much anything that was white I want to make red.....is there any way I can do this?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odst0016:
You need to edit images if your using cm7 or a Gingerbread Tom its in framework-res in the framework folder and in SystemUI on the app folder as for sense you will need to edit files in the HTC resources apk its in the framework folder if its a sense 2.0 Tom then inside of the I believe customize folder find an apk to edit(that is if your wanting to be able to resourt to stock theme) and edit that or just edit the HTC resource file like mentioned for sense sorry if there are any mistakes in this I'm on my phone and can't check for proper names of the locations.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elixir911911:
Ok thanks for the info....what programs are out there that are good for editing these apks? I'm sorry I'm new to editing apks and this is my learning experience!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odst0016:
Well to edit the images in the apk just change the .apk to .zip and look through it for the files you want to edit they will be images as for the txt you will need to edit the services.jar there is a guide on here somewhere that tells you how to do it just Google changing txt color in android notification bar.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elixir911911:
I'm not worried about text color I already did the notification bar I'm more concerned with the lock tabs and loading bars....the small green accents here and there
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odst0016:
Those are in framework-res if your on an aosp rom so just open it up and play around.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elixir911911:
Also what program should I use to edit xml documents?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odst0016:
That's something I'm not exactly sure of you will need to decompile the apk first if I remember correctly then u edit never took the time to research how to decompile bit after its decompiled you should be able to use several programs just Google for one
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elixir911911:
Well I changed apk to zip and then extracted....there weren't a lot of images but there were a lot of xml documents that had titles that looked like they were for what I needed to edit so now I just need to figure out how to edit them....I know a lot of html and basic javascript so from my understanding it should be easy but my version of visual studio won't let me edit xml.....I need another program....recommendations?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odst0016:
Go into it and look for the hdpi folders there should be about 600 images if your in framework-res
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elixir911911:
Found it....looks like quite a job! Any idea where I could find replacement icons without having to re edit all of these?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odst0016:
Just edit the hue in Photoshop or paint.net its real easy I use paint.net plus its free and lightweight only 3 megs and does a great job
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elixir911911:
So I'm using paint.net to work my way through the hdpi images....when I'm done do I just rezip the framework file with the stuff set to store and then change extension to .apk and then rezip the Rom and flash it? Idk how to apply my changes
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odst0016:
Yup
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elixir911911:
sick i just finished editing com.htc.resources.apk and framework-res.apk.....i changed anything that was green to red and im letting my phone build a bit of a charge before i flash it....wish me luck
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheez99:
Flash it? Did you make an updater for it or did you replace the files in a ROM that you're going to flash? I personally just push the .apk via ADB shell.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odst0016:
How did it go
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x2kjosh:
I did the xml editing for all the status bars, vol bars etc on my old Eris to change them to blue. Wasn't too bad, just extracted the XML where the current colors were all listed then edited the raw xml with a hex editor and put the new colors in (backwards) then applied, was pretty cool....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elixir911911:
edited alll the files that I wanted and re packed them into my rom (skyraider) then just flashed the rom as if it were a nightly update (no wipe data/factory reset).....It worked great! I mucked a few things up here and there but overall it looks very slick....I've officially made my first theme for skyraider 4.0! Wasn't too hard at all....But now that I've done all this work there's a few images I can't seem to find that I want to change the color of....Mainly the highlights press color on the select a connection type dropdown and more importantly the volume popup bar when you increase the phone volume. Also I'm interested in trying to edit some apps like the market and the messages list......and my keyboard so I can get rid of the green in the candidates bar but unfortunately I think these apps are "signed" or something.....Does anyone have information on editing apks like that? when I try to edit them it seems to work correctly until I try to install it on my phone....Input on how to change these apps and the volume bar and everything else stated would be greatly appreciated.....And many thanks to odst for being as helpful as he has been with all of this. This has been a great learning experience
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elixir911911:
Sorry I didn''t realize you had posted the answer to my question about vol. bars.....Where do I find this xml and more importantly how the hell do I open and edit it? I can't figure out how to open these xml's for the life of me
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x2kjosh:
The file to look for in the framework-res.apk file is /res/drawable/progress_horizontal.xml

Download AXMLPrinter2.jar (let me know and I can possibly send it)

Extract progress_horizontal.xml into a separate directory, possibly where AXMLPrinter2.jar resides.

Using command prompt in the folder the files are type:

java -jar AXMLPrinter2.jar progress_horizontal.xml > progress_horizontal.txt

I've attached the sample output when I ran this. Load your output file and you will see three 'items'. Each will have a startColor, endColor and centerColor. THe first 2 hex values are transparency. The remaining 6 is the actual hex color. Item 1 is the non selected gray color, the other 2 items represent 2 transparency stages, using the same actual colors for startColor, endColor and centerColor.

Record what the color value for each is. The example attached has FF D3 00 for startColor, FF CB 00 for endColor and FF B6 00 for centerColor for items 2 and 3.

You will need a hex editor now. They are free online. load the progress_horizontal.xml file in the hex editor. Note that in the hex editor, you will need to search for the color values backwards ie startColor would be 00 D3 FF, endColor 00 CB FF and centerColor 00 B6 FF. Replace with your desired color values, also in reverse and save. Then repackage the apk and you should be good...

I'd be happy to do the edit for you if you'd like. Just pick 3 transistion colors ie go from red a to red b to red c...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elixir911911:
I am very intrigued by this and would love to learn it but it seems a bit over my head right now :/ I understand it but I've never used hex editors or played with xml's for that matter....if you want to do it that would be absolutely amazing.....I'm going with a darkred and white theme here so I'd prefer combinations of dark red and white....In all honesty whatever looks good would be greatly appreciated. Would you really be down to do it for me?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynisterWolf:
the xml you are looking for is horizontal progress bar. i cant remember where it is at the moment.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x2kjosh:
Yeah for sure, just post a graphic with the exact colors u were thinking and ill see what i can do
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elixir911911:
The red I would like is #820000

Use #FFFFFF for white and if you need another color use gray of some sort.... don't care which just a darker gray. I actually tried to do it myself and rezipped the whole Rom and flashed as an update with no luck and a boot loop.....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x2kjosh:

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Nospin:
Just got my battery from Verizon, and while it will take a few days before I can properly let you know if it's worth the money, I wanted to post some pictures. Like several people I was really hesitant to jump on the Seidio and ChiChi batteries due to the wide variety of results people were getting. Even the websites who measured their capacities said that their true capacity varied from battery to battery. Some people could end up with one that lasts 2x as long as stock, while some could be slightly worse (than stock). I really didn't feel like returning batteries until I got a good one, so when HTC released a bigger battery that fit inside the G2, I jumped on it.

Some shots of the box. As you can see it's the Official HTC battery for the Verizon Droid Incredible II, but since that is an identical device to the Incredible S, that battery will work as well.

The G2 comes stock with a 1300mAh battery, this one is 1450mAh, just a little bump. It fits PERFECTLY. No trimming, just pop out your old one and throw in the new one. I was surprised to find it was already 50% charged when I put it in, but I immediately threw it on the charger. The whole appeal of this battery is that it is an Official HTC product, so I'm hoping for greater consistency and quality.

It will be a few days until I get an idea of how much better this thing is for $40, but I will report back when I do.

REVIEW CONTINUED TWO POSTS DOWN
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ericc191:
Nice pictures. How much was it? I ask because the Evo Shift battery is $44.00 but it is 1500mah.

EDIT: lol, nm. I see the price in the pic!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Nospin:
OK, so a few days with the battery now. Final Verdict- A definite improvement.

Each day I unplugged at about 5am and wouldn't plug back in until around 11pm. A couple days I stayed on wifi/wifi calling (a HUGE battery saver), and at 11pm would still have 40% left in the tank. This is with some moderate use, little bit of gaming, browsing, Pulse News Reader, and a couple Youtube videos.

Without wifi I go into the red around 9ish, which is still a nice improvement over stock. So I would say that if you are a person who continually makes it a few hours short on battery for the day, than this one is for you. You will notice an improvement and hopefully not have to stress about preserving that battery. But if you are having to plug in multiple times a day, then I can't say that this will help you too much.

Pros:

Gives you a nice bump in battery life, noticeable over stock. (Remember it will take a few charges/discharges to see this improvement)

An official HTC battery

No modifications needed to fit perfect (unlike the EVO Shift battery)

Much more consistant and (hopefully) reliable over 3rd party batteries

Cons:

It's only 1450mAh (Over the stock 1300), so it's not a huge increase (Judge if it's worth $40)

Won't save the power users out there.

You can find this hopefully at a Verizon store or their Wireless website. That said, HTC.... start making official extended batteries for your phones! Not just the Thunderbolt.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Incanity:
thank you very much for your review. :D:D

i think i'll try for myself to see if it helps.

been coming short on battery power a couple of times now (by a couple of %) so this should be a welcome change.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] polarbearmc:
so you bought the battery direct from verizon? i'm thinking i might do this too after seeing your little write up.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Nospin:
Yup, right from their website as the store near me didn't have any in stock yet. Remember don't expect a huge difference, as the battery is only a little bigger. But it can give you that little extra to make it through the day. Not sure on verizon returns, but I hope they will be a little bit better than say mugen or seidio.
