Hello everyone,

I've been spending a while trying to find previous posts about this issue, but couldn't find any. Hopefully someone here will have some insight into this problem that at the moment is baffling my friend and I.

I bought an M1000 about two weeks ago. I'm very pleased with it, and haven't had any problems at all - it's great. My friend had a mess about on it and was so impressed decided to get one as well.

His M1000 arrived a few days ago. When comparing the two units however, the screen on my friend's phone was markedly dimmer than mine, and almost seems tinted. After making sure we had the exact same brightness settings and upgrading his rom to the latest available on Orange (mine shipped with the latest version, his was ROM was dated 2003 - I can't remember the version) there was no change - his screen was dimmer, and certain apps were practically unusable (Fade for example).

He took the phone back to our local orange shop and they arranged a replacement. The replacement turned out to have an even dimmer screen than his original (the staff at the store agreed as well) and another replacement was arranged to be delivered.

He got his second replacement today, and that is just the same as the first.

We also noticed that the angle of brightness was different - mine fades when you move the screen horizontally, his when moved vertically. Using the same SPB Plus theme it also appears as if his display has less colours as some areas of the wallpaper appear pixelised whereas on mine there is nice diffusion between shades of colour.

So I guess the question is: have there been different revisions of display on the himalaya series? We checked every piece of hardware and rom info we could and they all matched. Or has my friend been very unfortunate to receive three phones with the same problem?

I can't think of any software I might have installed that enhanced my display and any that we though might have changed a setting (such as nydot) we installed on his unit, again to no avail.

Any insight would be really appreciated. He's really pleased with the M1000, but the seemingly lower quality display is souring the milk somewhat so to speak.

Cheers,

Mista

i remember some posts where people said that htc changed panel manufactor on newer devices

i think that could be the issue
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Albondigas:
Yes, there was a thread initiated I believe by the user "Pocket TV Team" that discussed the actual number of colours displayed by the Himalaya. Unfortunately that thread (as well as the user "Pocket TV Team") has been lost in the recent crash.

Eventually someone from France stated that a new batch of Himalaya's he had ordered clearly had a less good display (maybe even displayed a lesser range of colours) than the Himalaya he had been working with up to then.

Albondigas

I would welcome a dimmer display, mine is just too bright even on its dimmest setting to make it easy on the eyes at night, and in the daytime i find i only ever need half brightness, the only use i find for full brightness is to use the device as a torch at night !!

Mine is 11 months old now, so maybe they have just dimmed the backlight ?

Don't remeber well the post.. but I am sure to have read about 2 different displays used in Himalaya Pocket Pc.. This explains your friends issue.

So I am not sure if this is the place to do this, but I have ran out of options. Racing19969 own and operates the above business. I contacted him for JTAG service, and he said go for it. I placed my order via his website on the 21st of April, and sent my Samsung Skyrocket to him on the 22nd. As of today, I have had no contact with him. On May 1st, his website (Cell-Dr.com) went down, and he started FIXMYBRICK.BIZ. I tried both sites. I have messaged him here on XDA, Facebook, Google+, email, and I tried to call him at the number Google Wallet provided to me. I still have not heard anything.

I am writing this in hope that it will get his attention, and he will contact me. It has been a month since the charge went through my bank, and I don't have my phone, repaired or not. I have no idea where it is. If anyone knows a better way to deal with this, please let me know. Thanks everyone.

Hi!

Does anyone know if there is a flashable zip to remove the icons text on homescreen? It's good to have it in the appdrawer, but I really don't want it on the homescreen!

Hope there is a solution for this!

It would look really good!

Sorry for my bad English, I hope someone understands my question! :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] ebbox:
Install a new more configurable launcher like Nova or Apex. Here you can choose whether or not to display text under icons on your homescreen.
[Sony Xperia ZL] artipex:
That's possible, yes...But I really like the original Xperia look ;)
[Sony Xperia ZL] dubart:
Then install a modified version of Xperia Launcher, there's a topic dedicated to it somewhere here.

Hello you lovely people!

After flashing a new custom ROM (and kernel) on my xperia U when I load up google maps, I now have a message along the bottom that reads "Please enable the my location source in the system settings" I have enabled this (all boxes are checked on location services menu) I am able to get a gps fix. This is only a problem with finding my location via data/wifi. ROM is eXperience v2. I have flashed the ROM again and reinstalled google maps, but this did not help. Any advice is much appreciated!

Many Thanks in advance :)

Did you optimise the GPS acoordibg to your location in the aroma installer? I had the same problem on my sola... Install the Rom again and don't optimise the GPS. Hope this helps! :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kevdave1:
Thank you very much for your reply my friend :) I did optimise it the first time I installed the ROM. The second time, I selected to leave it untouched. I'm afraid this hasn't worked for me :(

Edit: Having said that you may be on to something here! did you flash the stock ROM before installing the ROM again? Come to think of it, I don't think I did this :S
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akki19:
By installing again I meant flashing the stock ftf again and then installing the rom... Experience Rom zip is not the full Rom. It just modifies the stock stuff, so you need to flash stock ftf first. :)

Yes, you need to go back to stock!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kevdave1:

Not sure about the location file. Sorry. on the Dev forum no one mentioned a bug there.

Flashed a new rom based on stock (terra rom). maps now works a treat! :D

I think the problem stems from the aurora instalation and me attempting to optimise for my area (uk)

First I'm sorry if my english is bad. I will do my best to be understandable.

Back in the day with my SGS2 I tried many many rom and in the end the best I found was a stock rom debloated but aosp themed.

I had all the feature like mhl working and I was able to reinstall any samsung app I wanted. And all that without the horrible (for my taste) samsung call screen/sms screen/system setting screen and icon notification.

I tried to find something similar with the SGS4 but I can't find one matching my criteria. I only found CGM based rom or debloated rom. Do I need to wait or is there something like that already out there? Or just a team that work on something like that I can follow for future release?

Have a good day!

i was thinking the same thing especially since theyre both quad core, but in the end having the faster of the two processors, the 1080p screen and the ir blaster is well worth the trade off (my opinion). Keep your head up we are going to have a uber amount of ROMs in the near future ;)

---Thanks, I only have to understand how to download Office 2010 in my language and not in english...

But how I said, Office 2010 doesn't work completely on WM 6.1... in fact in the "List of Supported O.S.s" is written "W.M. 6.5"

---I think Office 2013 will not work on WM, because is from WP...

...but I can try both the 2010 and the 2013... :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Spammyu:
2007 *update is for 6.1

2010 is for 6.5.

2013 is for WM 8.

You can NOT put 2013 on wm6.5.

You MAYBE can squeeze 2010 on 6.1, if you add patches to it. ( like .net3.5 CF etc.) but I dont know what patches.

But, why don't you just upgrade 6.1 to 6.5 first? Most device makers provide the wm6.5 patch for free, and it's very easy to download and install.

For Office Mobile, goto

microsoft.com and click the Downloads link.

On the left side, for categories, click More, and then Mobile .

Search for Office Mobile

Office 2010 Mobile may be first link. Click through to download page.

It SAYS "english" but click the download button anyway.

*A new page will open, and allow you to select any language they offer.

Hi all, sorry to bother you with this one!

I got my O2 XDAII unlocked and used it with no drama at all with my Vodafone SIM. :) I then put the GPRS settings in and it worked fine with MSN Messenger and IE etc. :D I then put the MMS settings in and started sending and receiving picture messages perfectly. :lol:

The problem, i hear you ask....

Well, I got TomTom 3 and a program called POI Warner which is used to alert me of POI's (read, speed cameras :wink: ) and it wanted to connect to the Internet to update it's database. It always used to try once i'd dropped the XDA in the cradle. As something wasn't right somewhere, it used to lock up the XDA until it gave up trying and then it would release the XDA so that i could use it again. This all seemed to be because of the Activesync passthrough settings. :?

I set them as I should have (after reading on here what to do - thanks!) and then it worked fine. Still with me...??????

It seems that i can't send picture message anymore :shock:

I have all the settings from the other posts on here but somehow, my settings in the connections screen have gone loopy.

Can someone on Vodafone PLEASE PLEASE let me know what settings they have in the connections screen, be it two sets (My Work Settings and another) or (Vodafone GPRS and Vodafone MMS - as i used to have). And when you click the advanced tab at the bottom of the connection screens, which programs do you have for 'Programs that connect to the internet should use' and programs that connect to a private network should use'???

when you edit either of these, it comes up with ANOTHER connection screen - what you have got in there??

This is on top of the Server mentioned in the MMS composer screen that needs another mention of the same server in there!!!

If I can get this working with someone's help , I hereby promise to take a screenshot of every screen I have and put an idiots guide to getting this working up on the Web should I need it again!!

thanks in advance Guys!!

Then resetup all the connections.....
