I've just did the rom upgrade and now my phone is not recognize by the computer.

I checked the cable by connecting it to my blackberry and everything is fine.

I then decided to reload the rom and when i ran the auto icon it says that there is no device connected.

What can i do?
[HTC Excalibur] cswroe:
Have you done this:

To Get ACTIVE SYNC to work after this:

Do this with the USB cord DISCONNECTED from the computer.

Scroll down or up to the settings panel.

Select

Scroll right or left to USB to PC.

Select

UNCHECK the first option.

Connect the USB cord after you click on ok.

This is from UPGRADE to 6.1 with PICS & LINKS to... Updated links 11/21 in the stickies.
[HTC Excalibur] PrimoFreek:
hey Stylez, is there a way to add my city to the list to choose from? Accuweather has my city online but in the choose city list on the phone, my city isnt present.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
No you have to go for the nearest as no way to patch it.
[HTC Excalibur] PrimoFreek:
thats kinda weird. i figured there would be a wat to patch it in. o well. its all good. i can choose from Birmingham AL or Huntsville AL. just weird since accuweather has Hanceville listed online. o well its all good. Birmingham is close enough
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Yeah accuweather holds the feeds, but the problem is that we can't edit the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml with custom locations as it will just not acknowledge the feed, so for other software like M2D & M3D they patch the .exe so they get the feed from a different server.

Sorry bout that as i have to use the nearest city too.
[HTC Excalibur] PrimoFreek:
its ok, i know when it comes to certain things there is no way to incorporate things in. maybe one day the cities on accuweathers site will be listed in the app for the phone.
[HTC Excalibur] kentrey:
Its funny, the good ol' "is it possible to add words to the t9 dictionary?" type of question gets skipped over almost every day now. That must be because there isnt an answer? Every other question gets a reply.

Dont mean to sound like a douche but this is the only problem I have with this rom. I love it otherwise
[HTC Excalibur] ctt0002:
I tried to do that but when i navigate to that screen, it doesn't give me those options. It has something along these lines:

wm5torage

status:inactive

read-only checked

removable class checked

lock card on attach only unchecked.

and then the option to choose:

dsk1:/oneNAND Drive os or dsk2:/oneNAND FAT

led/vibrators

and then at the bottom it gives me the option to activate or menu.

When i click on activate it gives me:

Cofirm

Selected storage device does not appear to be the usual formatted storage card, it possibly contains the operating system or firmware data. If WM4torage will activate and dismount it now, this may render the system unresponsive and may require a reboot.

Once i click ok, on my computer it asks me to format the drive. but i decline and nothing happens because i don't know what it will do.

So none of that makes sense so what i did was go to start-settings-connections-more-usb to pc.

Once i get in there, it has an option that is similar to this:

To Get ACTIVE SYNC to work after this:

Do this with the USB cord DISCONNECTED from the computer.

Scroll down or up to the settings panel.

Select

Scroll right or left to USB to PC.

Select

UNCHECK the first option.

Connect the USB cord after you click on ok.

Once i did that, nothing happens again.

So now I'm a little worried. I thought maybe i loaded the firmware wrong and so i want to do it again.

I ran the auto file in the rom folder that i downloaded and its saying that the device is not connected so i couldn't reload the firmware if i wanted to. This is where i'm stuck.

Anyone have an idea or what i should do?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Settings\Connections\USBtoPC the settings are there :)
[HTC Excalibur] kmattoo:
My Vibrate was working fine w/ 1.7 until about an hour ago. Now my phone won't vibrate at all. Altho on a reboot in vibrate mode, the phone still vibrates on startup.

It's pretty confusing.
[HTC Excalibur] acousticdank:
Ya, curious about this, I guess in time we will find out.
[HTC Excalibur] kmattoo:
I reinstalled 1.7 after my vibrate stopped working. It worked for a little while, but then died again.
[HTC Excalibur] kmattoo:
Figured it out. Looks like it was Flexilis, the backup software program.
[HTC Excalibur] freepenguins:
contacts won't sync

I'm having trouble getting my contacts to sync, as I was able to sync them from another dash (of different firmware) to my windows7pc and now i cannot sync them onto the new dash with 1.7...anyone else with this problem?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Sounds like a "personal problem"... LOL :rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] nikmash232:
I gave up on this rom. Had problems with having not enough memory every 2 - 3 hours of using it. I tried always clearing everything in the task manager but it did the same thing over and over again. Finally installed the kavana rom and haven't had one problem. Don't know why those things were happening but I hard resetted a couple of times too.
[HTC Excalibur] indnracn2:
weather still not working not updating

so just curious im using dash tmobile with tzones hack. just curious is anyone else having problems with the weather using tzones hack? I cant seem to update the weather on my phone. my internet and email and all work fine?
[HTC Excalibur] freepenguins:
wow that's helpful, no wonder why i reverted to the kavana rom
[HTC Excalibur] networkdood:
do you have a cab file of this for the TILT?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
??? To wonda what you mean...

You can't flash a ROM via a .cab and aslo you can't flash a .nbh from a Dash on a Tilt....
[HTC Excalibur] renegadedj:
is it just me trippin, or is there way less accessibility options in this rom? like turning off threading and some other stuff i cant recall now.. :P
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Yes there are less options, we did not make the ROM neither did NRG so the options are the same on the Rose as made by M$, NRG ported it we remade it....
[HTC Excalibur] renegadedj:
ok so there are less options. just as long as mines not just showing less for some stupid reason :P
[HTC Excalibur] renegadedj:
ok heres maybe me trippin again: memory seems to run out this rom really quickly. like in an hour and a half, ill have to reboot cuz of no more memory. and i have nothing running since i started it up initially.

i can list what i have installed, and most it is on a 8gb microsd card thats 70% full. but the list would only matter if i had that stuff running right?

nothing running for an hour and a half, maybe answered a few text messaged, and forced to reboot due to no memory.

help?
[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
HTCActivityLog.exe!!!! The answer you seek is a few pages back in this very THREAD, BOY.

How do I get my phone to use MP3's on my storage card as ring tones rather than placing the 4-6MB MP3's on the device, essentially wasting SPACE?!?!
[HTC Excalibur] renegadedj:
\STORAGE CARD\MY DOCUMENTS ---- put them in there and they will show up in the sounds lists when your picking different ringtones and alerts.
[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
:D Thanks I'll try this.
[HTC Excalibur] renegadedj:
I'M ALL MAN BABAY! hahaha

okay i looked up referenece for this process, i dont use any weather apps, so i followeed the advice pertaining to deleting module key for weather app in bootlauncher registrt, and im rebooting.

wow rebooting just happened faster than b4. hmm ill let you know if it worked for the memory leak, which sounds like it should.
[HTC Excalibur] renegadedj:
24 hours and no memory leaks. in fact when i reboot the phone starts and stays with more memory than i ever had available before. thank you!
[HTC Excalibur] drifterrolly:
okay, so its been a month or so after i put this in my phone.

the first few weeks where awesome, long lasting battery life, no memory leaks. now the phone has so many memory leaks i have to restart my phone many times per day, and the battery life is short now.
[HTC Excalibur] renegadedj:
i hope you did not just describe my dash's future.

the battery life being short could just be a bad battery. u should think about investing a larger 2200mAh battery. makes my phone last for days with alot of stuff installed and running
[HTC Excalibur] bumpn:
audio?

installed the latest rom and audio doesnt work the only screen i didnt see what the http://www2.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/63a5b6d85d2647eb01f1480f2d4428226g.jpg

i got the black on black one
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
No one had probs with audio and the black Dash is just a different look all the same hardware, with regards to image MSVC & Cybertron Voice Command not in the ROM.
[HTC Excalibur] magicchex:
I love this ROM but am uninstalling it today because the memory leaks are getting so bad that the phone is becoming unusable for someone like me who does like 3-4k texts a month.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Have fun installing it :D

The memory leak that not everyone has but some have solved who do have, i imagine you didn't hard-reset after install, also have no idea what 2-4k texts a month has to do with anything?

Maybe we need a thread on how to close apps and recoupe memory alongside with general cleaning???
[HTC Excalibur] magicchex:
You're a prick. Both in this thread and the other. You make some real **** assumptions about your users, aka me.

I can't recall specifically if hard-reset or not after installing, but I did follow the instructions posted in the thread here on the forum to a T, so if they included hard-reseting, then I certainly did. If not, then I can't tell you one way or the other.

Moving on to how I use my phone...

I compulsively open up CeleTask. I do it after every app I use to make sure everything is closed. I compulsively open it up and free memory in between doing things. CeleTask is probably opened on average 15 times a day to close anything that didn't close and to free memory. I delete every message thread from my phone 2 to 3 times a day. I transfer pictures to my computer every week or two depending on how many I took, and they are saved on the SD. I delete every CAB file after I've installed it, and I only keep the apps I really use, and those are all kept on a SD.

The only reason I mentioned that many messages is because by far the number one action which causes the phone to leak memory is sending alot of messages. Hence, the more messages I send, the more often I have to deal with this problem. There are several other times I've ran into it, but they were far less in-my-face than messaging and they were situations (such as heavy media use) in which I could understand any OS on a phone with the limitations of this one having issues. When I ran Kavana (sp?), I liked it FAR less in terms of usability, but I did NOT have this problem. I also had no problem installing it, so I'm not sure what you meant by that comment. These are also issues I never had with my Motorola Razr and PEBL nor with the iPhone I'm currently playing with. It seems suspect to me that the problem lies within how I use phones.

Now if I'm missing some big issue which is causing the memory leak, I'd love to be educated about it. What I don't enjoy is you making assumptions about how I use my phone. If you'd like to discuss my use with me, feel free to ask me questions and then critique. But pointing random fingers at me does little to want me to stay around and find out what I may be doing wrong. However, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you deal with a lot of morons (because I do in my job too so I can understand the frustration) and I'll consider what you have to tell me about my use.

I'm listening!
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Learn how to take things on the chin and the post was not just directed @ you and my point was valid, you should watch your direct insult with volatle language, to which is not permited on the forum.

The Dash has only 17MB apr of RAM the Rose that the ROM is ported from has significantly better hardware to which is part of the reason it consumes more RAM.

I will appologise even though my comment was not direct about the new thread, with 3000+ downloads and a very small proportion of users moaning about RAM "that was my point" and many users happy with the ROM and time that went in to it from 3 members.
[HTC Excalibur] magicchex:
Again, I understand the frustration. And again, I'd really really like to stick with your rom as opposed to Kavana, because I like the way it functions. This is really becoming an issue for me though with the reboots needed. I assumed your comments were directed at me since you quoted me, so I apologize if I came off abrasively.

Seriously, is there something I am not doing that I could to prevent this problem for occurring for me? If it's not something that a lot of people have issues with, maybe there IS something I'm doing differently. I'm open to any suggestions, keeping in mind that everything I wrote above about how I use my phone is true. Maybe the Excalibur is just not enough phone for my uses :D
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
The first thing i would do is hard-reset phone, test it for a bit, if still an issue re-flash but b4 doi anything hard-reset, sometimes not all files are writen correctly on sync, also if not using weather follow posters advice on killing the sevices associated to it, think it's only a couple of pages back, if you don't have SKTools worth getting for FreeRAM when you close progs run it once in a while will not reclame as much if you let the used RAM build up, WM is notorious for memory leaks as standard.

Hope that helps.
[HTC Excalibur] renegadedj:
im gonna chime in here and ask if you are using any weather applications?

if you are, thats whats eating memory, its the processes in the background used to enable those weather applications that , if you are not using any weather apps or panels, should be disabled.

if you are NOT using any WEATHER APPS OR PANELS got to registry and delete the MODULE registry key under HKcu\software\htc\bootlauncher and reboot. when you open celetask you should have not have any WEATHER or HTCACTIVITYLOG running in the processes window any more. memory leaks should stop.
[HTC Excalibur] dkoenig:
If I want to install a different weather app, what is the best way to remove or deactivate the one that comes with this ROM?
[HTC Excalibur] renegadedj:
chome configurator. located in the settings panel on the rose rom.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Thanks for reposting :)
[HTC Excalibur] dkoenig:
renegadedj and stylez,

Does hiding the app in the configurator make it not run, or just not show up? Is the registry change the better way to go to turn it off and install a different one?

(p.s. I love that weather app for home, but i am going on a trip and the city i want, nor one near it, is not listed)
[HTC Excalibur] dkoenig:
double post.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
CHomeConfig will only make it not display on the Homescreen, while as the reg edit will stop the processes of the app "kill the Weather App" make a backup of the reg then when get back from travel can just import reg and get the standard weather working eazy again :)
[HTC Excalibur] renegadedj:
yep thats what i would do.

IMO weather apps are useless for me. if i wanna know the weather, i just go outside. if i wanna know the weather where i'm going, well, like any good former boy scout, be prepared, and take a damn good sweater or jacket. haha
[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
lawl I really want to know why the JOGGR bar still flies off the handle randomly even after all of these ROMs...
[HTC Excalibur] dkoenig:
Does this ROM have MS DUN capability?

I want to tether it to my TomTom. I believe with the Kavana ROM it was built in. I might just need to find the DUN cab somewhere.
[HTC Excalibur] dkoenig:

can't find "camera" icon.. "video recorder" doesn't work?

Hello,

First time upgrading S620 (well, a Rogers S621) for a friend.. not mine, unfortunately =p

Upgraded to 1.7 Final..

1) can't find "Camera" icon.. somehow, someway, managed to get it,

(fiddling around with camera album/etc), but it didn't do anything.. something like "bad link/shorcut".. I tried HARD-RESET; can't find.. re-load 1.7 Final.. can't find ..??

2) "Video Recorder" -- doesn't do anything when click on it (icon changes when

it has the 'mouse focus' but clicking/etc does nothing..

I've tried both with and without a 2GB memory card (can SEE the pictures on the card, so it's recognized).

??

Am I missing something?

Thank you!

Resco explorer problem

first post so go easy :D

every time i use resco explorer or even the built in explorer or total comander to browse the windows folder on my 620 it only lets me get so far then jumps back to the 1st item in the menu:confused:

i have tried reflashing and doing a hard reset but the problem continues anybody got any ideas what could be causing this it cant be the explorers and that only leaves the rom itself.

any help appreciated

PH4N70M
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Resco Explorer it's in the options Menu\General untick Enable folder auto-refresh, not sure about Total Commander Options but probably find the same kinda thing. :)
[HTC Excalibur] PH4N70M:
thanks for the quick reply yes that solved it :D

i only tried total comander because of the problem

sorry for implying that it was your beautifully cooked rom

thanks again keep up the good work:cool:

wifi/mms

Just downloaded 1.7, and for some reason I can't get wifi to work, and I'm not able to download MMS. I'm not sure if it's already been answered by someone, or in a faq somewhere, but if it is I can't seem to find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Excalibur] thousandlegs:
Some people have had various issues with 1.7 of this rom. It's recommended that after flashing this rom users immediately do a hard reset and then do your customizing and installing of apps.
[HTC Excalibur] bugmenot20090308:
i used to use the kavana ROM on my old dash, t-mo sent me a new one today and i reflashed trying this version instead.

my only gripe is that the home screen section (CHOME in the CHOMECONFIGURATOR) only displays the missed/recent calls list and the voicemail; in the kavana version it had a sms option also.

any way to change that?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Yes you can in CHome show CMessage, then the 2 @ top of list will show missed calls & messages.
[HTC Excalibur] bugmenot20090308:
thanks stylez, looks like i must've just forgotten to save the configuration correctly or something- went to the the configurator, disabled and re-enabled CMESSAGE and now it suddenly works. lol

Freezes after 3% fix!

Had this rom installed, was freezing, so I went to reflash via the above instruction, and the "hard reset". After hard reset and power up, white screen appears no longer with the "HTC" logo, and the phone freezes/sticks on the Window's Mobile screen. Removed battery and powered up several times but the same thing occurs. HELP!

The system volume should be fine, people have reported when listening via plug in headsets volume can be low.

I listen to music with the speakers and speakers on 6.0 were loud now when i listen to music with speakers i barely hear it i have to put very close to my ears to listen, is their anything that ur suppose to do to make it more loud?

Im using v1.5 and the "e" key opens CeleTask where you can choose comm manager and connect to wifi from there. Or you can just go to the setting panel and choose wifi from there. Hope that helps :)
[HTC Excalibur] the-light:
ok thx.

another thing, can i get sms? dont c any icon of it..
[HTC Excalibur] chillybilly:
In the CHome configurator you can choose either HTCMSMMS or CMessage. These will put message panels on your homescreen. Both of these options will allow you to send/receive sms messages. :)
[HTC Excalibur] the-light:
thx man very helpful.
[HTC Excalibur] chillybilly:
