[Asus ROG Phone Questions & Answers] xenichenherz:
I would have to restore the IMEI after flashing so does that mean I have to go into EDL mode again (after successfully booting) and just press restore? And I have to back it up and check "enable multi-sim", right? And if the flashing doesn't work or it's the wrong firmware, is it bad? I want to try out flashing it and see what happens (edit: the firmware I found doesn't seem to have some .img files which my phone has as partitions, idk if its supposed to be like that) but I don't know if that will make the situation more complicated
[Asus ROG Phone Questions & Answers] user0u:
Yes, you have to use QFIL again in EDL mode.

You should first figure which firmware you had on the phone, and then flash that version or a higher version.

You will lose all data, fyi. And the phone is already hard bricked, can't get worse than that haha.
[Asus ROG Phone Questions & Answers] xenichenherz:
I know I will loose all my data, it's sad but there is no other way. The raw firmwares I found all have the same version, but if I flash it, everything will be new, so why would it matter?

QFIL doesn't let me back up the IMEI. The buttons in the "backup restore qcn" menu are greyed out.
[Asus ROG Phone Questions & Answers] xenichenherz:
is there any other method to restore the IMEI after loosing it when flashing? It can't be backed up in EDL mode

also I still have the original package with the IMEI numbers on it if that matters
[Asus ROG Phone Questions & Answers] user0u:
It seems like it cannot be backed up it EDL mode. Maybe in 900E mode, but I'm not sure.

I think I read somewhere you can restore it if you have the IMEI numbers manually but you'll have to look that up yourself for details.
[Asus ROG Phone Questions & Answers] xenichenherz:
apparently you can restore your imei with root if you still know the imei number (I do). So, should I start flashing or should I wait and find another solution? I doubt I can do anything else, my plan is to flash it and if it works, somehow get root and do it.
[Asus ROG Phone Questions & Answers] user0u:
It's totally your call.
[Asus ROG Phone Questions & Answers] xenichenherz:
I'm going to see if someone can help me and find a solution. I'm wondering how this even happened. I now have to deal with this complicated situation because my phone randomly decided to stop working. I didn't even do anything that could cause a brick. Do you know any reasons why a phone would hard brick on its own? Also, thank you very much for your help.
[Asus ROG Phone Questions & Answers] user0u:
Some phones are known to drop dead for no reason at all, most of them I've seen are from Samsung. I do not know the cause, but it could be something to do with how they are manufactured, motherboard failures, etc.
[Asus ROG Phone Questions & Answers] xenichenherz:
yes, I've heard lots of motherboards or other parts of rog phones fail a lot (but not bricking on its own), especially wifi or camera. My phones camera suddently stopped focusing and everything that was further away was permanently blurry, it happened a month before it bricked. But it seems like the motherboard is not broken on my phone because it's not completely dead. I probably won't buy a rog phone again even if they are actually pretty good and have unique features.
[Asus ROG Phone Questions & Answers] xenichenherz:
Hi, my phone (rog phone 1) hard bricked and I will probably flash a raw rom in EDL that I found on the internet, hopefully it works. But after flashing I will not have my IMEI anymore, which is a big problem. Can I restore it by flashing the specific partition back on the phone? My plan is to go into edl mode again after it (hopefully) booted and flash the modem partition (a and b) which I backed up (I backed up every single one). But QFIL saves them as .bin files, and as far as I know it flashes .img files, so will it work? And which partition is the IMEI stored on? I heard it is the modem partition but I'm not sure and I could find any answers. Rooting is not an option for my phone because Asus doesn't let people unlock the bootloader anymore. And how about the serial number, mac adress etc? Is it bad if I loose them? how can I restore them? If you could help me flash it, it would be very nice too. I have no experience at all with this. My phone randomly hard bricked and I never did anything that could cause this.
[Asus ROG Phone Questions & Answers] xenichenherz:
The post was moved here from the main Q&A section, but the rog phone 1 section is inactive and I don't know if someone else will answer here. I just tried flashing my phone but it didn't work. I hope I will find another way to fix it.

I have a bunch of straps from watch 5 pro. Strangely, a great look IMHO is a silver titanium strap (same color as my 5 pro) with the black 6 classic.

hi there

ive synced my hd with wmp and all my songs etc are on there fine in mobile wmp. all the individual songs show up on the songs tab in the tf3d music player as well but my problem is when i go to the artists tab, it shows enough artists to fill the screen but when i finger scroll to go further down, the list just disappears, like theres only the first 10 or so artists and then theres nothing.

has anyone else had this problem?

ive resynced a couple of times, deleted the audiomanager.vol file etc but still the same problem. plus it takes over 2hrs to sync so i dont want to do it that often. have over 2000 tracks.

cheers for any help
[Touch HD General] kauka187:
just bumping up to get help
[Touch HD General] N!ghty:
i got the same problem... but what doesnt work in my player is the current playlist and songs...

just uploaded a vid 1 minute ago:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=WZZF-Vm-lrQ
[Touch HD General] johnpatcher:
Probably the player isn't designed to handle such a big amount of data.

I know this is not a great help, but you should really try CorePlayer. It has a media library, which works quite well :).
[Touch HD General] N!ghty:
i have coreplayer and use it for videos but for music (normally also for vids but wmp suxx rele bad [-> codecs]) i always prefered the built-in player.. usually u only listen with shuffle coz i need variety ^.-

i just dont wanna use an extra player coz its an extra app and i wanna avoid that as far as possible.

what i really miss is a hardware button or something like that to chance to the next song.. i used a sony ericsson w850i walkman phone for the last 2 years and i could use the volume buttons (long press) to navigate through the playlist without turning the display on, thats hell useful when its in the pocket, especially when ur riding a bike.

well.. since its not possible to even chose the music dir (seems to must be in <root>/music) the player should be designed to handle any amount of data. i only have 300 songs on there atm. usually i would have, like kauka187, 2000+ =)

i really hope there will be a good firmware update very soon...
[Touch HD General] kauka187:
Yeah youre prob right about the amount of data.

ive got coreplayer to watch movies and s2p when i want to find a specific song (since theres no search function in built in the tf3d music player WTF!) to play so i guess they will have to do for now until htc hopefully comes up with an update because i really like the look and finger friendliness of their player.
[Touch HD General] kauka187:
just watched your vid and yeah i have exactly the same prob but like you said, my issue is in the artist tab.

you never know, some bright spark in this community may be able to come up with a fix :D
[Touch HD General] JanSchotsmans:
This seems to be a bug, I discovered it too with about 3000 songs on the player (which required a softreset for anything to show up in the TF3D menu)

It seems that when you try to scrol down, it snaps back to above the first artist.

When it happend to me I could get back to the other artists if I just scrolled down again.

There's still quite some bugs in the TF3D Player and I wouldn't mind replacing that tab with Coreplayer or WMP itself.
[Touch HD General] kauka187:
is that possible? cos i would quite like that
[Touch HD General] _Fly_:
I also have a problem in a ambum with 2 cds the music appears mixed, cd1 musics with cd2 music and are not for correct order, track 3 appears first then track1 for example. I have the collection correct numbered with correct music id. any idea to correct this and appear first track 1 of the cd1 then track2 and only when cd1 is over then starts cd2. Thanks sorry the english.
[Touch HD General] _Fly_:
any idea please.
[Touch HD General] N!ghty:
im going for a cooked rom... but i wanna hav language changeable to german and i learned that thats not the case on most :\

other than that (if that even fixes the problem) i havnt found a solution :|
[Touch HD General] kauka187:
if a cooked rom does fix the prob could you report back here please. thanks
[Touch HD General] SiliconS:
I may have just found a solution to some of the problems with the TF3D music player.

I loaded a bunch of new tracks onto my storage card via the USB cable earlier and edited some of the artist/album details on the tracks I added. The TF3D music player wasn't recognising the new tracks or the changes I'd made to the existing tracks. A soft reset didn't solve the problem. Removing and re-adding TF3D to the Today screen didn't solve the problem. The wrong details were still shown in the player. (As well as this, the Playlists tab wasn't working at all and I couldn't queue up new songs to play.)

Removing and re-inserting the SD card while the list of artists was showing on the HD's screen, however, HAS forced it to re-index the music on the card and now it's all perfect again. Perhaps someone else with a problem could try this?

Sequence:

- copy tracks to the card over the USB lead, or update artist/album details

- unplug USB cable

- go to Artists list in TF3D music library (leave TouchHD turned on)

- remove SD card

- list of artists is erased from screen

- insert SD card

- after a few seconds the list of artists is rebuilt correctly

Report back your results!
[Touch HD General] rhtizzy:
did just like you said and the list is built up again, but the list of songs and the now playing list still won't scroll..
[Touch HD General] N!ghty:
yer me 2... just re-inserted the memory card but problem still occurs :mad:

:confused:

the only thing i can think of is an encryption problem in the tags.. i used the musicbrains global database to tag my entire music in order to remove all problems in the tags. but since my tags are ALL tagged the exact same way i got trouble finding the problem ^^
[Touch HD General] Henrikmand:
Same problem here!

I had to rebuild my artist-list through updating in WMP. But problems remains to be solved...

I have 860 songs on my card, and it fails to scroll through Albums and All Songs.

Only Artists works.

I believe though, that it is a problem that HTC should solve, and not us. This is not an improvement, tweak or anything else.

This is a real error in the Player!
[Touch HD General] Henrikmand:
I tried to describe the problem to the technical support at HTC.

When (if) they respond, I will let you know.
[Touch HD General] kauka187:
awesome cheers
[Touch HD General] Henrikmand:
Update on problem and HTC Tech Support:

HTC has replied to my request, and their recommendation is to clean the card, and then sync it all again through WMP11.

I followed the procedure, but the problem remains :o(

Only positive thing, however, is that I now have A LOT more album covers!

I'll be back later...
[Touch HD General] N!ghty:
of course the problem remains.. they just said that because they didnt know an answer so they just told you to do anything...

its the same **** with every support people :mad:
[Touch HD General] rhtizzy:
I'm not a big fan of generalization, but sadly enough, true more often than not.

And HTC really take the cake in that department; I've reported numerous problems and not only are they extremely tardy in responding but I have yet to receive 1 answer adding anything to the subject at hand, never mind a solution.

Overall their responses show a seemingly overworked and\or under-educated staff with sloppy professional skills and oozing disinterest on all matters technical, choosing a hasty un-informed approach designed at closing requests as opposed to wielding in-depth knowledge and presenting a desire to solve problems by getting to the bottom of things.

Possibly the worst helpdesk I've ever come across.
[Touch HD General] rhtizzy:
To the problem at hand

Perhaps a massive 'frontal attack' will get something done: report to the helpdesk as much possible so at least there's an official registration somewhere which might get noticed where it matters?
[Touch HD General] SiliconS:
<ot>

rhtizzy, are you really Dutch? Your written English puts most native English-speakers to shame in this forum.

"oozing disinterest" Hehe :D

</ot>
[Touch HD General] rhtizzy:
:o Born and raised in rep of SA, but 25years now of dutch and I sometimes tend to get carried away in my glutton for the mothertongue. Not my intention to pompous on tho, so please excuse. cheers, Rick
[Touch HD General] WaveyKat:
anyone fix this yet? it sucks...
[Touch HD General] Henrikmand:
OK - now I had a talk on the phone with HTC Support, and they don't have a solution yet.

BUT - they told me, that there's a ROM update on the way. They were not sure, however, that this problem would be fixed in the update.

Upon the question, what it would take to get the problem fixed in an update, they implied, that customers should do EXACTLY, what you suggest!

SO: Call HTC Suppot, write them, throw phones at them! Make them fix it!
[Touch HD General] custardo01:
Was in a shop yesterday in London complaining about the HD and they also told me a ROM update will be coming soon.
[Touch HD General] pantyryder69:
This is a bit off topic but it deals with the TF3D music player...whenever I select a song to play from the library it goes back to the main music player screen but it takes a couple seconds for the album art and song to actually being playing..does anyone know if its a memory card read speed issue (I already have SD TuneUp installed) or is it just because I have too many songs (200+ on my memory card)..or maybe something else?

Thanks
[Touch HD General] WaveyKat:
Also is there a FASTER way to Scroll thru the songs/album from the main TF3D Screen?
[Touch HD General] Henrikmand:
Latest update:

I just got this advice from HTC Tech Support:

I didn't fix ALL issues though... :o(

Now, I can scroll through all my playlists. Even the longest of them.

But I still can't scroll through the songs under the tab "All Songs".

I posted this reply from HTC anyway, as it may help some of you...

I'll be back, when I hear from HTC again.

Bizarre solution to non-scrolling album art!

I have just been reading through this thread, and looked at kauka187's video on YouTube - sure enough i have the same problem of the list disappearing. however, I flicked my finger on the screen as if scrolling down, after a couple of flicks the screen returned to the TF3D musci player, and a track started playing with the correct album art for the track showing, and behold! - all the other album art is stacked up, and scrolls with a finger flick! Don't ask me how, but it has activated! Obviously a software bug which should be easily fixed by HTC. Oh, and my music is on the storage card, not in main memory. Try it....

Looking at it again, it appears that tapping a song in the artists list brings up that song to play, and also all the other songs on the card together with their respective album art. Better than nothing, but scrolling through all those songs can be a pain!

Sorry for repost, but edit function not working.
[Touch HD General] Henrikmand:
I was just about replying to your previous post, as I wanted to know if you were talking about your list of "All Songs"... Because that's where the problem is...

As we "speak", the Tech support at HTC Europe is testing on a HD with 7 GB of music, to see if they can provoke the same error.

I'll be back when I hear from them again!
[Touch HD General] wackojacko807:
Same...

I have the exact same problem, and, lke you said it takes ages to re-sync all the songs over and over to check if it's working.

I've done it a few times and have now given up, and am using the other music player.

Such a shame, bought the phone as i thought it might be a rival to the iPhone (which is in many departments) but the music playback just doesn't come close.

Really hope someone can come up with a solution to this, would be so grateful.
[Touch HD General] Henrikmand:
Latest answer from HTC Tech Support

Well, now Tech Support has tested according to my suspection, that there is a limit to the number of songs (or items) in a list, that the Player can actually show.

And they got the exact same result, which I find quite positive!!!

The fact, that Support is able to provoke the same error means, that this particular error now is issued with their developers, and is being dealt with...

So, we just might get a fix to this :o)
[Touch HD General] geistteufel:
Hi,

Ok I have the same prob, too many music with lot's of album arts ... down to this state

so my alternative :

http://www.conduits.com/products/player/

It's Pocket Player, skinnable, lot's of plugins (like audioscrobbler !!! and more), really nice album arts display in full screen, perfectly work with bluetooth handset and ad2p activate (so any call switch properly to mic / headset mode)

they support auto scan of you musique in background (you can specify your musique directory !!! great feature), but I really prefer to scan only when I know I have add / remove some musique. Because it can take few moment.

so in manual scan mode, you know where it is, you see "xxx / yyyy music scan ..."

after plug / unplug sd card (of usb storage), no scan that slow down your mobile !!!

I have remove music tab from TF3D to prevent clicking on it and let tf3d music scan running ...

I have kill AudioManager_Eng (tf3d music) to let go.

Moving between album / song / artist is amazing and clean !

Please, test it, and tell me your opinion. (30 days free trial)

I love this tools !!!
[Touch HD General] Henrikmand:
I know Pocket Player. That's a great tool - no question about it.

But, that's not the point! TF3D is supposed to work! It's a softwareproblem, which must be solved by HTC.
[Touch HD General] geistteufel:
Of course :) but it will take long long time, so just purpose alternative far far better than bulk solution. :)

same issue for good 3d drivers, waiting against htc will take a large time (perhaps never), and no good game could come on this marvellous tools :)

I really don't know how to solve

I just click fast on one song in full list and use shuffle.

crossing around artist / song / album is too slow to be great when it work

so hd has a SD card, we can have up to 16g of music (15 g~) but TF3D Music is design to support well 1G max, over that, lot's of bug and slow feature appear ... What a shame

I don't know if it could be solve

is it a memory issue ?

do you try with 1G max of music, part to part, just to see if some kind of bad tagged mp3 could create the bug or just so many music bug it

so, if anybody has found the problem , happy to read it

is they a way to remove automatic scan and do manual scan on demand in tf3d music ? because plug and un plug usb cable is a real pain without that feature :)
[Touch HD General] custardo01:
I've got about 12gb of music on my 16gb card and I don't really miss being able to scroll through the song list. The trick is to sort all music into folders by artist and albums yourself manually. I don't let software touch my music anymore as I found it makes too much of a mess (Itunes) and gets things wrong. If in doubt it all goes into a "Unknown Artist" folder and will be called "untitled". Every time I add music now I do it manually and I know what is what and what goes where. I also create playlists manually using a text editor based on the files I can see on my laptop. You can create a one song playlist in Audio Manager and use that file as a template to edit on the computer.

Anyway what I am trying to say is that using this method of manual sorting you don't need a song list you can easily find things by Artist or Album or even Genre.

Hope this be of interest to someone out there ;-)
[Touch HD General] Henrikmand:
I do the same, and it works perfectly for me, however, I stick to the auto-sync through WMP.

So - in daily use, I don't have an actual problem. But there definitely is a bug in the software, that must be solved.

And I hope to have pulled the right trigger to get it fixed. :)

Conc. the possibility of a bad mp3-tag. That is not what is causing this problem, as the people at Tech Support are experiencing the exact same problem as we do.
[Touch HD General] paulswift36:
Yet another user here with the same problem. It was all fine till I added a few more albums and now the TF3D music player is just useless; it hangs altogether, refuses to play the music or in some cases, flips through every track on its own as if they are all zero seconds long. I don't see why I should buy other software product to get around an obvious fault in this product (I know there are free ones to be had too). Moved to Pocket Player now like everyone else until HTC get it right.

Does anyone know if it's possible to effectively uninstall the music player or is it just part of TF3D? Wouldn't it be nice if we could replace the apps from the tabs with anything we liked? At least we could build a version of TF3D that worked completely.
[Touch HD General] anako7:
Ok, if the ROM update is on the way, what exactly will we be able do with it? How are they going to fix each phone???
[Touch HD General] anako7:
Henrikmand, I did the exact thing you described in the quote and it fixed everything. It works perfect now! Thanks so much!
[Touch HD General] Henrikmand:
How many songs and albums do you have on your card?

I discovered the problem, when I sync'ed all my music - close to 900 songs.

The same thing happened to Tech Support when testing.
[Touch HD General] anako7:
I have about 200. May be this is fixable by the way they told you when you don't have as many songs. I could try to put 900 songs on my card, but it takes time to transfer them thru USB with my card in the phone.
[Touch HD General] Psyberd:
Any update? It ran fine till i added too many songs now wont show "All songs" dont really want to dump them :(
[Touch HD General] Henrikmand:
Still no news! :(

There is a sort of confirmation on a Danish website, though. Stating that we will get a ROM update soon.

Hopefully that will fix this issue.
[Touch HD General] jonny r:
I've had both the problems mentioned on here with the native music player. Plus I also had songs mute for no reason despite the system sound being up and nothing being touched, poked or stroked anywhere on the device.

Since I switched to S2player http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-s2p.html music listening has been problem free. Recommended highly
[Touch HD General] mikal80:
the problem is solved!

dutty's newest rom version 1.8 extreme has solved the problem! i tried it on 2 hds and both of them worked! i think u guys can give it a try!!!
[Touch HD General] custardo01:
Great news. Thanks for the info. May give it a go.
[Touch HD General] custardo01:
I flashed and you are right. Also I can scroll through my 12gb of songs instantly with no delay. Great stuff!
