UP :-(

Hi,

Having my HD since a week, I am doing synchronisation with windows mobile on vista x64.

Everything is fine using the usb data cable but not using bluetooth.

The HD is recognized as I can see HTC50 but as soon vista starts, I am requested to provide a driver that I have found nowhere.

If I go in the vista device control panel, there is a bluetooth device not working properly as no driver available.

Contacted the HTC hotline, they told me they will call me back within 48 hours.

It was 5 days ago...

Anyone having the same problem or a solution? :-)
[Touch HD General] david-v:
The problem is probably the driver on windows vista, so switching to another phone will not help much. Besides..."smooth integration within an OS like vista" and "iphone" :D :D :D :D you have got to be joking!!!
[Touch HD General] feratk:
Up

Please guys,

Could someone tells me he succeeds to synchronise the touch hd with a vista x64 through bluetooth?

The HTC support finally called me back asking to reinstall windows mobile 6.1 vista x64 but didn't work...
[Touch HD General] K_Hismoom:
AFAIK this will not work with Vista. At least not with the Vista bluetooth stack.

I have the same problem you describe with my Wizard and my Diamond.

After switching to the Widcomm bluetooth stack I remember being able to synchronize my phones over BT.

I don't know exactly where the problem lies and if only HTC is to blame here.

I'm sorry, I can't give you a solution here.

Still, if you like to give it a try, go to

[Touch HD General] CWempe:
I sync my Hermes with my Vista 64bit.

But I don't know wich BT-Stack is installed.

My laptop is an Asus V1S.
[Touch HD General] crystal_clear:
HTC customer support line

Dont hold your breath waiting for them to get back to you, i waited two months to get a reply email asking me to call their helpline.

Absolutely useless!!!!!!!
[Touch HD General] blueblood_gz:
yeah, same problem at my side......

I'm using IBM T61p, and the update from broadcom site doesnt work......
[Touch HD General] K_Hismoom:
Yesterday I have come across something interesting.

I had to hard-reset my device and afterwards it would not be recognized in Windows Mobile Device Center when connecting via USB cable. I heard the sound from the Device Manager, so Vista knew the device was connected, but it wouldn't show up in WMDC.

So I reinstalled WMDC, but still no luck.

But - and here comes - I was able to pair my HD over bluetooth with my PC and Vista installed the bluetooth drivers for the phone! I am now able to synchronize over bluetooth!

Sadly synchronizing over USB cable does not work any more.

For all of you having trouble with WMDC and bluetooth, try reinstalling WMDC 6.1, maybe this helps.

Regards

K_Hismoom
[Touch HD General] Lucas0511:
I too could never get a connection initiated from WMDC to the HD, with standard Vista Bluetooth. Pairing the the Vista desktop pc with the HD never was a problem, but Activesync. Then I tried to start the sync from the HD - and it worked.

Go the the Settings tab in TouchFlo3D, and use the first tab "Sync data" (Daten synchronisieren in German), and the HD connected itself to the WMDC, via the Hama Nano bluetooth dongle using standard Vista drivers. Give it a try!
[Touch HD General] blueblood_gz:
OK, finally I got it work successfully.

The way to connect HD with PC, have to from HD to PC, can't from PC to HD.

I'm doing steps as follow:

1. set your PC's bluetooth as discoverable.

2. at HD side, search PC with bluetooth

3. after that, pair HD with PC

4. open your active sync on the HD, and select connect with bluetooth

5. after connected, everything works

Now I can explore my HD on my PC, everything is OK.:D
[Touch HD General] twisted-pixel:
I have the same issue. I keep getting a message on my vista pc that Windows cannot install the device driver for a bluetooth peripheral.....very annoying!!
[Touch HD General] garethsimpsonuk:
i also have this problem (vista cant find drivers). i'm trying to get the beta sideshow app workinng.

any help would be great.

thanks

Touch HD driver problem

I am having some bluetooth problems too but not exactly as you describe. I have a Touch HD and have it syncing over bluetooth with my Lenovo laptop (Vista32) and my PC (Vista64) fine. However, everytime I connet the phone, Windows tries to install drivers for it but can't find them. The drivers seem to be bluetooth related because if I go into Bluetooth Devices and click the Touch HD and search services, either nothing is listed or sometimes just "telephony". So I can't use any of my phones bluetooth profiles like internet sharing.

I have a weird feeling that it has something to do with the Touch HD Hotfixes that HTC has released recently.

Has anyone out there been able to fix the issue?????
[Touch HD General] gbouille:
luketoms, I have exactly the same problem as yours with my HTC Touch Pro and vista x64. This related to bluetooth driver in my point of view.

I haven't found any solution for that.

Has anyone a clue ?

Thx
[Touch HD General] Ole_Dumm:
I share your problem too, luketoms & gbouille. Espescially annoying, since I have connected my HD before sucessfully, with Vista locating the right drivers from Windows Update, displaying it as a HTC Touch HD T8282. Independent from WMDC.

Now, it seems my HD and laptop are no longer friends.
[Touch HD General] phabreel:
Does it say 'Missing bluetooth peripheral device'? If it does, right click on the device for properties. Click on update driver OR

Go to device manager, you'll see an unknown device named bluetooth peripheral device. Double click it to open its properties

Click 're-install driver' on the second tab.

Click Browse my computer for driver software' button

Click 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'

There may be a list asking for device type, select 'bluetooth radios'

On the next page there will be a list of company names on the left side and a list of drivers on the right. In the company list choose 'Microsoft Corporation' ... not 'Microsoft'. Confirm selection is microsoft corporation.

On the drivers list there may be one or more driver versions for the mobile phone, select a newer version.

Click next, and ignore any warnings and keep pressing next

Then it shows successfully installed drivers
[Touch HD General] Ole_Dumm:
phabreel : it does indeed! Thankyou. Still, windows will not recognize the HD as a PAN compatible device when searching for it through the bluetooth wizard. And it has done just that before!
[Touch HD General] Ole_Dumm:
The image on this page will describe part of my problem, maybe a little better than I can express it. "Tytn II"-device needs no further explanation, "HTC"-device is the name of the Touch HD.

[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] Deltwin:
Hello, i installed crdroid v8.9 and i must say they have made some improvements. In fact, some time ago I had installed the 8.7 but encountering bugs and lags: the control center was lagging, the battery drained immediately and in the 8.9 these things were solved. The problem is that none of the gapps I've tried and used works.

In 8.7 I had mindthegapps installed, I tried to flash them in 8.9 and them doesn't work. How can I do? I tried them all NikGapps, OpenGapps, MTG ...
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] pepeq:
I run latest crdroid 8.10 with MindTheGapps and have no problem . use this version :

Hi guys.

I'm using Casper VIA A4 and I want root. I rooted with a friend already. But he had prepared the TWRP himself and he had mistakes. a part such as /data gives an error, and although my device is rooted at the moment, it is still read-only.

My Android version: 10

This is my stock ROM: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=7161016148664852901

Build number: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=7161016148664852901

Features of my device (That's not English but maybe you may need): https://www.epey.com/akilli-telefonlar/casper-via-a4.html

Also info, the adb shell appears as A5 Pro when I enter the water commands. I think my phone was made with the template of another phone.

Any solution ??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] avengerpenguin:
Can anyone point me to the registry key for the startup screen where you set your timezone/Date/Time.

I have used ROMs in the past that have changed this from the default GMT-8

Thanks

The way I did this is to use RapiCfg to dump the above registry entries to an XML file so you can create a 'provxml' file

It's been a "long time" since Google officially released a flagship Pixel in India.

Pre-booking starts on 6th October at 9:30 PM on Flipkart.

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1575850807735382017
[Google Pixel 7] Virgo_Guy:
Only 128 gb versions are on pre-order on Flipkart, even for the "Pro" model 🤨.
[Google Pixel 7] nitin.chobhe:
What do you guys think - will there be any way to get it offline in coming days?

Nitin
[Google Pixel 7] ravi190993:
Unlikely. I checked with a few reputed stores in Mumbai, no 1 has it or plans on having it. I asked croma on launch day, they too said no.
[Google Pixel 7] ravi190993:
Both of them show sold out on FK right now. Any idea if these are going to come back for sale anytime soon?
[Google Pixel 7] nitin.chobhe:
That's sad... I was hoping to get some Diwali offers in offline stores ;) Last time with Pixel 2 XL, had got Sennheiser BT headset (worth 8-10K and JIO annual subscription (worth 10K).

Nitin
[Google Pixel 7] Virgo_Guy:
On 6th, 7/7 Pro came back to stock post midnight for sometime.

What I've noticed is the pro model came back to stock for sometime in the morning hours on 7th and today.
[Google Pixel 7] ravi190993:
I missed it on 6th. On 7th I was able to book 1 for myself. I need to book 1 more for another family member.

I am keeping a continuous tab on FK but keep getting sold out error. Any specific time / pattern on which 7 pro comes back to stock on FK?

I will keep an eye today morning to see if I can get lucky.
[Google Pixel 7] Virgo_Guy:
No specific time. I guess those restocking units are the ones cancelled by buyers who bought on first sale and changed mind later(128 gigs isn't enough for all).
[Google Pixel 7] ravi190993:
Yep. 128gb is too less for a primary phone tbh.
[Google Pixel 7] Virgo_Guy:
7 series are back in stock @ flipkart.

Maynot last long.
[Google Pixel 7] ravi190993:
Booked 7 pro. Thanks a lot for the update.
[Google Pixel 7] abhi0502:
again going for sale tomorrow on flipkart, will the HDFC bank offer of 10k cashback that's still mystery but its showing there. Hope so it's there, it will be great
[Google Pixel 7] Virgo_Guy:
It was an error it seems.
[Google Pixel 7] abhi0502:
now again it got updated with SBI CARD
[Google Pixel 7] Virgo_Guy:
Not many use SBI/Kotak CC I think.

As such, I would say it's not worth buying at a starting price of 60k.
[Google Pixel 7] WhiteWolf:
Recieved my pixel 7 today here in India. Seems good so far !
[Google Pixel 7] abhi0502:
yeah hope so more commonlyused CC offer will come.

Now as more pixels are getting sold out the main issue is after sales service, as i live in Mumbai, Service center is available only in Thane and i have to go to Thane for any repair work of the phone.
[Google Pixel 7] Virgo_Guy:
Be very happy bcoz the rest of India will need to go to Thane or Hyderabad or courier it... and all that.
[Google Pixel 7] ravi190993:
Last time I owned a pixel, it was a pixel 2 and the service was pretty good. The service center would provide a pickup and drop service within Mumbai. So let's hope it remains the same.
[Google Pixel 7] swat4samp:
Does anyone know how to redeem 3 months YouTube premium offer? It's mentioned as one of the benefits in Flipkart.
[Google Pixel 7] K.khiladi:
I feel they sold a lot more pixels this time. Just hope that they atleast have 1 service center in every capital city as a start now.

Anyone tried converting their airtel sim to esim? Every time i send the request message (esim<>email) to 121, it gives me multiple options to choose from, instead of the one which i was supposed to receive according to the website. Am i doing something wrong? I'm in bangalore btw. Any help would be appreciated.
[Google Pixel 7] Jack Sparrow xda:
I converted my Airtel sim to e-sim for my Pixel 6 and the process was straight forward. I forgot the exact process but I think you are supposed to receive some codes via email or SMS. If you get stuck then call the customer care, they will help you.
[Google Pixel 7] Virgo_Guy:
Your email id used is not yet registered against the Airtel phone no you're using. First register it by making a call to customer care. Only after it's registered, sending the message to 121 (eSIM space email id) will work as intended.
[Google Pixel 7] abhi0502:
ok thats good.

Can you explain the procedure? (whom to call or any website)

it might be helpful in case someone needs
[Google Pixel 7] nitin_ko:
i got vi sim converted to eSim, pretty straight forward if you have postpaid + a gmail or hotmail id. the online method by sending sms does not work if u hv corporate mail id as u wont recv the qr code.
[Google Pixel 7] swat4samp:
Thanks to the advise above, I have finally converted my airtel sim to esim just by sending an sms. After the activation, I've been getting "sign in to access internet" popup every time. Like the net disconnects and after reconnecting, it shows that popup. It's so frustrating that i have to click on it and then select "use this network as is" option. Anyone else facing this? It was fine before i had physical sim.
[Google Pixel 7] nitin_ko:
No issue with Vi Esim.
[Google Pixel 7] Virgo_Guy:
Have you guys checked the battery drain on high brightness using the 7 Pro? This info is important.
[Google Pixel 7] mohan_168:
Could someone please recommend the following for Google Pixel 7 ?

1. 30W charger

2. Back cover

3. Tempered Glass

I found Croma 30 w pd3 pps charger to be good. Other two, I have taken generic versions from Flipkart
[Google Pixel 7] mohan_168:
Does the fingerprint scanner work after installing tempered glass ?
[Google Pixel 7] Virgo_Guy:
It seems the standard 7 has noticiably better batterylife than the 7 Pro. With a smaller form factor and way less price, the 7 is a great buy.
[Google Pixel 7] EtherealRemnant:
No, it doesn't, not unless you're gaming (although that's probably a 1440p issue). They're not that far apart but almost every review has the Pro ahead. The only ones that didn't had some heavy gaming in there.

This should be expected given the substantially smaller battery in the 7.
[Google Pixel 7] amarprat87:
Yes. These are a hit and miss kind of thing. Try a few at InR 150-250 range till you find one that works.
[Google Pixel 7] Virgo_Guy:
I'm considering a mix of various usage patterns(all the reviews in the web) and gaming isn't a big part of it since this device isn't a game centric one + Indian pricing difference in between these two models.

I haven't purchased it yet, but the "reviewers" getting great batterylife out of 7 Pro hardly mentioned outdoor usage/indoor usage on high brightness, so great batterylife out of it is most probably not very conclusive on battery endurance when usage is highly indoors with low brightness something the 7 does not seem to be "suffering" from.

Here's an example where the 7 wins over the 7 Pro @ batterylife.
[Google Pixel 7] EtherealRemnant:
That video drop looks like 1440p extra drain to me. I will have to analyze that on the desktop later to see why. Almost every real life review, which includes actually using the thing outside, the 7 Pro is marginally better but it's not a big difference either way.

Just ordered my Pixel 7 from Flipkart, I'm a little worried about their Open Box Delivery policy, where the box must be opened upon delivery and the phone inspected for physical defects or issues, after which returns on the basis of physical defects won't be accepted.

What are the things one would check for, in this case? Not just specific to the Pixel 7 (based on known potential issues, for example), but with phones in general?
[Google Pixel 7] nitin_ko:
Just check if u are getting the phone instead of a soap.

Hey guys.

I'm using the Pixel 7 for a week now. The mobile network keeps on going out of service and comes back only after I enable/disable sim or switch the airplane mode on and off.

I was using Jio sim until now, but after switching to an Airtel sim today, the same issue still persist on the Pixel. On the other hand, Jio is working flawlessly on the Mi 11X. The overall network reception also seems to be worse on the pixel.

I have turned off wifi calling, turned off adaptive network, reset the network but nothing seems to help. I also contacted Google's support but so far they have only asked me to follow basic troubleshooting methods and asked for a bug report.

I'm attaching some screenshots for your reference. Please let me know if there's any solution available.

Thank you.

I also have the no network issue only in India with the Jio SIM on my P7P. I bought the phone in Germany and it worked without any network issues with a German o2 SIM.

I think the issue is either due to an old SIM (my jio SIM is 3-4 years old) or it is due to some Country carrier's not recognized by the pixel. This was also a known issue in Pixel 6 and I had to return my Pixel 6 Pro in germany as well.

[Google Pixel 7] Aks:
How about trying gadgetshieldz screen protector and skin? I've been using it on all my devices and it's much better than tempered glass (my personal opinion). It's thin but good protection, doesn't make phone bulky like tempered glass and cases.

Hi, my first post here, I needed some advice

Anybody import the P7P from us to India?

(1.) Are there any difference between P7P sold through Flipkart and one sold through Google store in Us?

(2.) Does the us variant of p7p work well with Indian networks? (3.) Does it have the call recording option and if it is present how can I get rid of the call recording announcement without rooting the pixel?
[Google Pixel 7] nitin_ko:
1 yes

2 call recording does not work on indian 7P
[Google Pixel 7] bocabakra:
anyone still with the network connection issue on their pixel 7? The dec update did nothing to my p7p connection issue. still need to switch off/on to get the connection back. I'm on jio but I hv seen people with airtel/vodafone also getting the same issue. My phone worked perfectly with a 5g network with o2 german, where i had bought the phone from.

Its mentioned on a few forums on reddit that a few Pixels might have a software fallback issue. Where the phone does not fallback to 3G/gsm once it loses the LTE connection.

Please mention your data connection issues if you have any.
[Google Pixel 7] amarprat87:
I used to have connection issues. But they are mostly resolved with Dec update.
[Google Pixel 7] Aks:
No such issues at all from the time I've been using P7 in Mumbai on Airtel and Jio both 4G. Always have strong signal and no drops. You might want to get your SIM changed...
[Google Pixel 7] prasun.com:
I am having extreme Newtwork issues since I bought the phone early January. Customer support said it is a known issues and asked me to wait for Feb update - update did not help at all. My previous phone was flawless when it came to network reception - I also changed sim and operator.

Given nonexistent service network, b2x not picking device from my location, long repair cycle of 20 days, I am inclined to return the device - any idea how to do it? Cherry on cake is that I do not have a spare phone.

I have read through consumer forum rules and drafting a legal notice myself. Expert advise requested from group members on if it is possible or I am day dreaming.
[Google Pixel 7] bocabakra:
Which operator did you try? for me the issue was an old reliance SIM, because as soon I reached Germany back my P7P works totally fine on the o2 LTE+/5G network. So try with a new reliance sim with 5G, preferably in a good network area?
[Google Pixel 7] prasun.com:
Thank you for responding. I was on VI, but tried Jio sim as well. The core problem is - it loses network suddenly and took long to come back to network. Even if it comes back to network, it took even longer to give data connectivity. Highly problematic during commutes to office.

Have given device for diagnosis, with 100 bug reports. let's see.
