[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] draxie:
That sounds like a more surefire way to get any "stuck bits" cleared.

This would be similar to how some laptop manufacturers instruct you

to disconnect power, remove batteries, and let the thing sit for 5-10

minutes as a last resort, e.g. with boot failures. Which reminds me,

it may be a good idea to let the Kindle sit there dead for a while

before connecting a charger...

I was hoping that holding the power button "long enough" might get

you there faster; but that may just be wishful thinking based on a post

I read somewhere in these forums. ;)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] trippvail:
Lol thanks. I am sure it will be dead for awhile before I get home, if it's not dead already. But if for some reason it's still alive I will make sure to let it sit for an extra 30 minutes after it goes down.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jwcdis:
My kindle unit is in the same boat as that unit above, no fastboot, no ADB, I had TWRP but i formatted it thinking it would only format the OS image.

The only thing I can get is a QHSUSB_BULK driver that doesn't completely install. Am I in a position where I can get fastboot or ADB access?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
If the bootloader remains locked with no access via tether (or wireless ADB) you are pretty much done. You can attempt the cold start remedy suggested in earlier posts. Long shot at best. Note the device should sit idle for several days after appearing to be depleted as internal circuitry prevents the battery from going completely dead. Even then some charge will remain which is necessary to respond to the power button and protect the battery from permanent damage. Removable primary and backup batteries are the only surefire way to insure a true cold start.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] chickyd:
I've read through the WWE thread and still haven't managed to find people's experiences with this ROM and their UK Orbit's.

Can people please post any issues, and more importantly if I'll brick my Orbit (as from the shop so unsure whether CID locked / unlocked) if I follow the steps in the original thread?

Thanks.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] mh297:
I had no luck. I'm waiting for WM6 ROM from O2 UK to get the phone working again as I can still access the bootloader.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Neozzz:
Same for me. Followed all the steps, but still my phone bricked. Mine was CID locked, but because there were several succesful upgrades on CID locked devices I also tried it. I'm also still able to enter bootlloader, so just have to wait for retail WM6 ( have no RUU signed update to restore my device )
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] carphead:
I moved from a Orbit with a HTC P3300 Rom (CID Unlocked) to a WM6 Bebe Rom at the first attempt.

It's so much quicker than the WM5 Rom. It's a lot more stable.

If you want me to post the steps and a Apps I've tested I'll do so tomorrow.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] rthomas:
I couldn't get Bepe's to load with the boot loader, but the next part with the windows.nb file worked..........

Sort of, I think the bluetooth is not working properly as I can't create a port to allow me to sync with my pc. Apart from that it is working fine. (Touch wood)
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] chickyd:
doesn't seem worth the risk...

sounds to me like it isn't worth trying at the moment then! shame cause i want to get wm6 running but would rather not have a bricked device ... and the odds look high!:(

come on o2... where's our official rom?:confused: :confused: :rolleyes:
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Moleshome:
I've just upgraded my O2 Orbit and it worked fine. CID unlocked it with IMEI-Check and then followed Bepe's instructions.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] chickyd:
mmmm... fair enough but i just don't wanna shell out $20 to get a cracked rom...
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] magpie2000k:
If I am not mistaken is it not £20 as opposed to dollars I would pay a tenner but like you I will wait for £20
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] itschase:
Does anyone know if HTC will require an actual P3300 IMEI in order to download the WM6 update when and if they release it?
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] joey jojo:
probably, they will require you to give this to prove you have a HTC branded device. TBH they shoudl provide a ROMforAll no matter what provider you have you should be able to upgrade to a clean manufacture rom.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] phsnake:
for those who have O2-Orbit UK and can access only bootloader, did U try to flash german WM6? just run file downloaded from german o2 (without any hexedits etc. just run xdaorbit-windows-update.exe). I think it should work, because CID lock is not to lang version, but for operator (02_01) and both UK and DE Orbit are ARTE2000. Worth a try. If it works let it boot to calibration screen plug usb cable and reflash using bepe's ROM. Let us know. I'm not sure if it'll work, I'm CIDunlocked.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] itschase:
Do you think the same would apply if you Hex edited ARTE10000 to ARTE2000? Sily question, I know, but is that the only level of security that actually looks for model ID?
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] phsnake:
in o2 ger image its already ARTE***** so u dont need to change anything (it means it shoul work for arte100,110,1000,200 models maybe 300 as well - htc love) But this is looking only for ModelID, in ROmUpdate Util it checks somehow for ModelVendor/Operator - addr:x0003BA6C - password BsaD5SeoA
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Shand359:
I also "BRICKED" my Orbit. I am also the impatient type. Why wait for O2 to release a ROM image? I have spoken with O2 directly. My friend even works for their technical division. As far as I have been able to find out, from friends and his friends at O2, there is NO O2-UK WM6 in the pipeline at the moment. Not enough users apparently. When I found out this I put my Orbit into O2 shop for repair. It was flashed under warranty as a software fault. I have since CID-unlocked it and flashed to WM6.

Absolutely amazing. WM5 to WM6 is night and day. So much faster and a lot nicer looking too.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] marsal:
My experience: O2 Orbit bought in CZ. My way was: CID unlock -> try-and-brick (...) -> German original O2 WM6 ROM (with bootloader) -> Arte WM6 from bepe.

I am very happy now (extremly stable!) and at this moment I do not plan even upgrade to a new ROM.

Btw solved the issue with localization (keyboard only - Resco works perfectly) and external keyboard support for my beloved iGo Sierra bluetooth keyboard: AE Keyboard mapping SW solved my needs
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] TangerineTractor:
MY experiences

Being a corporate O2 customer, when I bricked my Orbit they sent me a new one and said I could do what I wanted with the old one.. it's still a brick, having tried every suggestion on this forum!!!

MY new one, however, is running Bepe's WM6, having run the USPL first.

I tried Black&Blue, but found it drained the battery too quickly, and I reall ydon't need all the extras it comes with. I've got Bepe's WM6 running brillianlty - all I add is a cracked version of TomTom 6.02, which runs perfectly, BatteryStatus purely for a power display, no overclocking needed, and TodayAgenda for improved calendar on Today.

I use push mail to connect to my office exchange server, and have all my personal mail ending up at fastmail.net, where I connect to using IMAP - deleting from the phone deletes properly on the IMAP server now, unlike on WM5, so you really can have a synchronised mailbox usin IMAP and a free account at Fastmail.net...

I also have JetwareMobile installed to enable me to use my Siemens HKW600 Car kit (£40 on ebay, superb!), and I have some Sony DR-BT30Q bluetooth headphones which work perfectly...
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] jamin100:
I have a CID LOCKED UK o2 Orbit. I ran the USPL program by Prof and then Bepe's WWE ROM.

worked fine and WM6 is great!
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] TangerineTractor:
Yes, but that doesn't work if you've already bricked your Orbit
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] andel:
Does anyone happen to have a WM5 ROM to restore to if the WM6 goes horribly tits up - I'm not overly looking forward to the idea of not having the pride of the mobile fleet working... the humiliation!
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Decaf:
I created a backup of my own one using aWizard, but I have read that is has to be signed before it will allow uploading. If that's true how come this modified ROM will upload?

htc rom tool version 1.0.1

by Dark Simpson

--------------------------

This small application makes process of working with ROM's for some new HTC devices are bit more comfortable. htc rom tool will contain several instruments to deal with ROMs or it's parts.

Now, these instruments are implemented:

1. ROM builder. With this tool you can build a ROM (*.nbh) from a rom parts (*.nb) in a comfortable interface.

The built ROM is correctly signed (with my own cert), checked for errors and is ready to download into device. The device MUST be CID unlocked for this, or you will get an error while flashing (it is not fatal for your device I think, but keep attention on this fact!).

There is a possibility to add new devices to build ROM for by editing program's configuration file. This is described inside the "htcrt.ini" configuration file.

In the next versions these tools will be added:

- ROM extractor (to extract all *.nbh file or only a several needed parts from it)

- Splash tool (to deal with all kinds of ROM splash screens in a comfortable manner).

- ExtRom tool (to extract and rebuild "extended ROMs")

- System tool (to extract and rebuild an OS part and, maybe, to edit some contents inside unpacked system like initial registry and so on...)
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] andel:
AHhh right - I sense some reading and edumacashun is going to be happening, so bear with me!

I'll have a good look... I'm about to have my first XDA modifications go with a XDA Universal/Exec doofermajiggy phone. I figured I might as well break something I no longer need!
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] barneyhaye:
Some dumb questions?

dannyoneill,

The standard O2 Orbit ROM has a hidden folder called \extended_rom with just a small amount of O2 data in it. Does that make it suitable to start at the USPL operation (Step 3) without any further preparation (you _do_ say that you need a ROM with ext_rom)?

What size should BEPE's ROM be when downloaded. I seem only to only get a 216KB RAR when I download from "http://www.ramonshare.com/files/inde...TE_WWE_WM6.rar"

The "art_tmouk_11311001_024990_wwe_ship.exe" ROM is 46 MB, so I'd expect equivalent size for the WM6 ROM.

thank you,

bh

[Sprint HTC One (M9)] m03sizlak:
Some thinsg that have been annoying me with the m9:

1.) No matter how many times I turn all motion launch gestures off, a few days later they all come back on.

2.) The weather on the stock clock/weather widget is often just wrong, despite being set to update once an hour. According to my phone it is pretty much raining 24/7 everyday.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] barleysoda:
A major annoyance for me although more with the HTC Browser then the phone is every time I touch the screen it zooms and shrinks and is all over the place. Practically impossible to read and scroll through an article. I guess I could just go back to Chrome but I always liked the stock Browser better until now. I like pinch to zoom but if I aint pinching then quit zooming for crying out loud. Tap to zoom is ridiculous!!!

[AT&T HTC One (M9)] rogershroed1991:
Hi everyone, I bought the HTC One M9 from AT&T yesterday and it's great, however the battery seems to drain extremely fast. I am coming to this phone from an iPhone 5 which would typically last about 1.5 days of regular usage. The M9 lost exactly 30% of its battery in the 8 hours that I was asleep, with the battery usage in the settings indicating that it was due to "cell standby" and "phone idle," so 30% per 8 hours of standby leads to the conclusion that the phone will only last a little more than 1 day on standby with no usage whatsoever. Therefore I am assuming that with usage it will not last a full day, and I'm actually scared to even use it when I'm not at home next to a charging port because I don't want to run it down to 0 and then not have a phone for emergencies.

Is this about the standard battery life for these types of phones now?

Also, should I try using a task manager to close out all the apps I'm not using? The battery usage page doesn't show that any apps are using the battery when the phone is in standby so I'm not sure it's necessary to close them.

Any help would be appreciated.
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] an0ther:
settings/location/google location history - turn off - this is the tracking that learns your routes

settings/location/htc location services - turn off - this is a dumb feature

These do not affect gps with apps

Also first 48 hours of an android it is doing misc background stuff. Battery is pretty amazing on this thing
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] rogershroed1991:
Thanks. The google location history is off, but how do I turn off the htc location service? There's no toggle for it, it just says "home" and then it already has my home address filled in somehow, and if I click it it opens a map for me to see the location but I can't see any way to just delete it.

[AT&T HTC One (M9)] staticchmbr:
I worked for at&t, and we found a common problem with the phone. During the initial setup of your device, the first time you open your stock messaging app, you will be asked if you would like to sync sms/mms messages. If you hit yes, it will register your phone with at&t messages.. I did this on mine by accident.

The phone constantly syncs, and there is no way to stop it. My phone would get hot throughout the day, and my battery would be dead after 8 hours. They didnt program a way to set WHEN to sync, and it cant be turned off from the phone.

FIX: log onto your AT&T online account or myat&t app, and remove the AT&T mesaages app from your line, or call into care/go to a store.

My phone now lasts a day and a half.

Hope this helps

Hello. i downloaded and installed ifont app. i tried to change my font and it works! but is it risky to do this thing? others said that using your default font using ifont can cause you bootloop is that true? and there's others that said that the first time they used ifont it works but after they changed their font again it cause them bootloop..

and btw, the ifont has a folder on my sd card and it contains the font.apk that im using right now.. what will hapen if i accidentally unmont my sd? will it cause bootloop? sorry for asking about this but im really scared of what will happen to my phone.. im using a korea version so for sure i cant find the stock rom of this to flash.. thankyou for advance for your answers :D:D:)

[HTC Sensation] fredrick255:
I'm using my sensation now as a dedicated MP3 player. I've been running slimkat and trying to keep the radios turned off with an app called Auto Pilot Mode. My biggest drains now are "Android OS" and "Phone Idle". Battery life stills seems kind of hit or miss. I think I made it 2 days once but that was exceptional. Any other ideas? Alternative ROMs?

edit: Hmm, occurred to me I should look into disabling the Media Scanner. The media scanner is known to be problematic.. I'm running a 64 gb sdcard in it and all my songs are in a folder hierarchy.
[HTC Sensation] alicarbovader:
Some tips:

1. Use airplane mode. Switches off the radios until you switch them back on like wifi.

2. The lesser the apps, the lesser your cpus run. Just keep the really necessary ones.

3. No battery saving apps.

4. Google play music is nice.

5. Get a good kernel and set the governor to interactive.

6. clean the earphone jack as well. the more dirt is in there, the worse will your audio quality be.

7. download songs in 320kbps. this will cost some cpu power, but hey if youre dedicating this to listening music a little bit wont hurt :3

8. use dark versions of apps. less screen power, plus they look damn elegant too :3 search for them here :3

i'll post more tips as they come to me ^_^

Also dont forget to try different roms for at least a week (for the caches to settle) and notice their efficiency on battery life, snappiness etc.

cheers ^_^

keep in mind that disabling media scanner is a bummer. your phone wont scan for new songs if you disable it.

Hiya,

If you search the forum for this problem you'll find it's quite popular but I'm confused about it. I too have a mini s and don't let it discharge too much for this reason.

Apparently, the Windows Mobile OS has to be fully loaded before the unit will charge so there are a few tips on how to jump start the battery to give it just enough charge to load the OS then you can charge it the rest of the way with the mains charger.

However, I switched mine right off (by holding the power button) and it still charges so not sure about it.

Good luck :)
