Hello nogs,

I did 2 times an reboot, but still it don't works.

Do you have any idea.

btw i have a HTC HD
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Personally I'd recommend either Changescreen or FlipIt. Both easy to set up and both work a charm!!
[Touch HD General] piebobs:
anybody got a clue how to totally remove flip it? ive tried with touch flo on and off and just normally remove and removing through activ sync but it still remains in the list of programs and also when i go to start/settings/menus its in there and the box is checked and when i try to uncheck the box it says "cannot move that item",only other way i can think to get rid of it totally is to reflash the rom ag ain which seems a bit extreme to remove an app.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Some roms have apps embedded into them so you cannot remove them unfortunately
[Touch HD General] MaskedMarauder:
It is a tiny app, just turn it off in preferences and ignore it!
[Touch HD General] piebobs:
im using duttys 3.9 xt and flip it was installed by me seperately

@MaskedMarauder yeah suppose thats the best option although it will probably nip my head and i will reflash anyway

Hi, playing mp3 or wav with wmp or htc audio manager the sound is really bad. soon after starting it seems to stop and start (sometimes playing twice the same sound) while the mp3 goes on. It happens with USB headset and without.

Anyone else had such a problem?

Thanks in advance

surely there has to be a way.. there has to be.. i'm not talking about pocket plus or anything, just something which lowers the backlight dim to 0 instead of 3, or whatever it is.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Jesse99:
Heh, I'm searching myself for those dim settings for quite some time already (although it's actually the opposite that I want)... Saying there must be a way... Although noone seems to find it.

I have a TyTN (Hermes 200) and a TyTN II (Kaiser) and tested about everything I could with both devices. Whatever I do, the Hermes doesn't dim, and the Kaiser always dims.

Switched files, settings, whole registry dumps, and nothing.

Tried multiple ROMs of all available OS, still no go.

Last thing I can think of is that there's some inaccessible part of screen driver that's device dependant, and either supports it or not. Maybe some of the chefs can tell something about this...?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] lude219:
You need a registry editor for this. Search for "suspend" and when you see a string that says "batterysuspendontimeout" or whatever similar to that, change the value to the amount you want in seconds. That way, if your phone is inactive for, say 10sec, the backlight will turn off rather than dim.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Jesse99:
I guess I could have been more clear. It's not that we can't turn off the screen completely (that's what suspend does). It's the backlight off function we're talking about. You can still read your screen.

On some devices this setting turns off backlight completely, on some devices it dims it to a certain percentage. It's the % of this dim that we're looking for to change.

But this is not in these Power registry settings, there's been many discussions about this before and I compared all these settings on my Hermes (backlight fully off) with my Kaiser (backlight dim) and they're all the same.

AT&T Fuze screen issue - bottom menu-area of screen is flickering almost constantly

(Forgive me for the length of this post. I am just trying to provide as much information as possible! If anyone has encountered this same or similar issue, your help is greatly appreciated).

I need help! (professional and otherwise) ...with my AT&T Fuze (rebranded Touch Pro).

I am developing a game for Windows Mobile called Scrobble (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3206316&posted=1), and I left it running overnight.

My screen is set to turn off after 1 minute, and my device set to sleep after 5 minutes when plugged in to external power.

I had the Fuze plugged into wall outlet power to recharge. I left it lying, like I always do, face down on a black soft-leather CD case (so the glowing charging light doesn't bother me).

I left it alone for the 7.5 or so hours I was asleep. When I woke up in the morning and picked it up, the screen was on. It usually is not on, and I don't think I pressed the button to activate the screen.

When I looked at the screen, the Scrobble program was still running, and the bottom menu portion of the screen was flickering. Scrobble has two menu buttons at the bottom -- "Turn" and "Game" -- with a SIP keyboard icon in between them (same as nearly all WM apps).

In any other program, or the Today screen, the menu portion of the screen flickers (the brightness constantly and rapidly fluctuates consistently... like a fluorescent light that is on its last leg).

I did a full power off and power on, and during the "world phone" screen and the the AT&T 3G "power up" animation, the flicker was -not- there. But as soon the Windows Mobile loading/splash screen appeared, the flicker returned, in the exact same spot.

And I can see the ghost "Turn -- [SIP] -- Game" menu in the flicker. But I don't think it's burnt into the display, because it's not there during the first two loading/splash screens.

Currently I have the battery completely removed from the device and will leave it out for a while. If that doesn't work I will do a hard reset.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! (This device is about 2 months old -- does HTC provide any support for it directly?).
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] acrosser:
Fixed

Phew! My screen flicker issue is no more.

I'm not sure if it's because I took the battery out and let it sit and think about what it had done for ~22 hours, or if it's because it just went away after a while (with the battery out for 22hrs). But either way, my Fuze is back to normal!

So if anyone leaves theirs on overnight and wakes up in the morning to a flickering ghost of a menu at the bottom, my suggestion is to fully reboot it, then take the battery out and leave it out overnight!

(It's kind of nice going a full day without any phone calls!!).
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jd885:
good for you.. you dont need a new phone giving you damage issues already... glad to hear that its gone
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pacmanpoop:
Thanks you for this post. I am going through the same thing with my ATT Fuze. This time it is Tomtom that I left running overnight with the screen turning on and off. I can add that the flicker and ghost is there the second the phone powers on. I have already hard reset and took the battery out for a few mins, but the flickering still there. Now I will take the battery out for several hours and hopefully it will be normal again.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] smittyofdhs:
I had a similar issue this week. I was using the phone all day, getting emails and phone calls, no problems. I get home and go to charge my phone and it doesn't appear to be charging. I flip on the screen and the whole screen is flickering on and off like it's not getting enough power. I charged the device over night, hard reset, pulled battery for 24 hours and still it won't go away. I just got the device thru amazon so I already reordered a replacement.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] proj3ktpat:
I've never left my screen on for hours at a time and I sometimes run into that same issue. The bottom of the screen flickers, and I can see a ghost image of my left and right soft keys when doing things that pull up a dark grey or black screen, like adjusting the volume. I usually try a few soft resets, and if that doesn't work I turn it off and take the battery out for a while. From what I am reading it seems to be correlated with extended periods of screen usage, but my screen has rarely been kept on for more than 30 minutes at a time.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kart_racer3:
Not to beat a dead horse or anything, but I was just having the same problem with my Fuze: the bottom quarter of the screen was flickering, but without the ghosting you spoke of. Out of curiosity, I went into my "Power Settings" menu, and for some reason the "auto adjust backlight" was unchecked, and the brightness settings were maxed out. I checked "auto adjust backlight" and the flickering stopped. Not sure why, but thought I'd add it to the thread.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] proj3ktpat:
Yeah I did notice that it's only really noticeable when the screen is set to max brightness. Setting it on auto adjust cleared it up for me also.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] sherrypizza:
thx guys...helped me out too...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dinsey:
Just sent my unit in for repair (under warrenty) due to the screen flicker issue, lets see what happens when it comes back.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bryceowen:
I just started to experience the flicker today. Has be somewhat concerned. The device is only two weeks old.

However, it seems to have stopped by itself while I was searching the forums for an answer. If it returns, I'll try the 'remove battery' method and see if that helps.

Also, I love Scrobble! Shame it doesn't work on QVGA displays. Or, at least, didn't on my Wizard...

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] protwitness:
Seems to be something related to the Hardware 3D Acceleration driver for Windows Mobile, I get this problem only once 3d has been activated.

If Sense/TF3D is turned off, I never see this problem. It only comes up once a game or Sense has been launched.

I can also boot into Android without 3D activated and not have this problem, but if I run Sense then go into Android I get the flicker from a Windows Mobile screen while in Android.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bryceowen:
protwitness: That doesn't seem to be the case (for me, at least.) I don't run TF3D and it still happens. I can't really discern what the trigger is, but I have a feeling it has something to do with the screen brightness auto adjustment. (Sometimes, I'll turn my phone on when it's dark and it jumps to full day-light brightness for some reason.)

I've adjusted to it and it doesn't really bother me any more.

Hi I have been having a fruitless time trying to get a replacement battery cover replaced after orange sent my htc tytn II back to htc for "fixing"( only two weeks after I got it on contract) It was sluggish, dropped video frames hopeless camera etc. I was to just keep my sim card (unusual- as it usually is the battery cover and battery) though I had been having prblems with the battery as well. Anyway To cut a long story short it came back from htc with a clip broken on the battery cover and orange said to contact htc as they would send a replacement (LOL) htc said that even if they did damage it that as it was a cosmetic item it was up to me to buy a new one. This has been going on for a year and each call results in the same thing. (they hadnt responded to all my previous letters and e-mails) I know it may seem petty of me not to have bought a replacement cover but for a large company like htc to have such abysmal customer service/relations seems counterproductive. Sorry to moan but I had to get it off my chest. I put windows 6.1 and after many hours of tweaking it still drops calls has a poor camera but video is slightly better.
[Off-topic] -PiLoT-:
the tytn 2s camera crappyness and slow video would be the result of htc not including drivers for the graphics card

as for the battery cover take out insurance next time, orange will then send you a cover
[Off-topic] TheChampJT:
I love my Storm. :D
[Off-topic] rabidrat:
Yes Thants what orange told me though they were disgusted with htc's appalling lack of customer service and thought htc should have replaced it f.o.c. as they damaged it. But I take it you think this is normal and I shoulnt have persued it.

I live in Fremont, CA and when you are going on HWY 880 right around the Dixion landing exit the phone light always swiches on and then turns off. I want to disable the light from turning on. I don't know if it is because a tower change or from a split second dead spot, or even if it's changing from EV to 1X for a split second. Can anyone help with this issue? The whole screen light turns on.

thanks in advance
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] short/y:
They're stored in a database in the browser's data directory. Check http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3223060&postcount=199 -- it gives you the command to use to retrieve them from the database, i.e.

sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.browser/databases/browser.db "SELECT * FROM bookmarks;"

You can also use the My Backup app (available from the Market) to back them up.

Since I use Firefox I use foxmarks. Which is one of the best programs I have ever used. It sycs all of your bookmarks through firefox on as many computers as you want.

Now when I use my phone, I can also just go to Foxmarks and click on any bookmark there to go to a website.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobbyHill:
No FireFox here. (Work doesn't allow it for some reason.)

I use the Google Toolbar on both my desktop and notebook pcs at home and at the office to keep track of my bookmarks. I'm still surprised that it doesn't doesn't sync with android though. Seems like about the only Google thing that doesn't at this point.

I don't think it would be hard to sort the list and dump out all the history entries as well. You can do this all with some SQL commands.

Is there anyway to create a shortcut to list all the Bookmarks? I am using Dwang 1.12 Rom.

Good scoop! MS needs to put their ideas in to high gear actions now!!
[General Topics] vijay555:
The problem is not Microsoft - their operating system is ok.

However, they have never committed to an end to end device: the iphone is more usable in about every instance - my 2 year old son can use an iphone and yet I still have problems using my Windows Mobile device.

I've attended conferences where Microsoft have demonstrated amazing new technology, but then said - "This will hopefully be for the OEM to integrate into the device". MS make the Operating System, and generally rely on the OEMs to supe it up - they make a point of NOT stepping on their OEMs toes, which means that the OS is typically lowest common denominator. However, after a decade of WinCE based devices, they still look pretty much the same, with only incremental innovations.

Manilla is the greatest innovation we've had from an OEM, and that's figuratively skin deep. Until OEMs can go deeper and provide a streamlined and integrated consumer experience, WinCE/Windows Mobile is likely to be relegated to pro-sumer and corporate environments only, while the "sexy" phones will be what the "cool" kids will be buying.

I think are learning a lesson, late, but learning

With Xperia going android, http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/10/sony-ericsson-htc-say-android-powered-handsets-due-next-year/

and ease of use with apple, and blackberry on the messenging niche microsoft wont be play second fiddle in in this race anymore. I think with the googles open handset alliance Microsoft is now listening "Nearly all the major handset makers have signed on, including HTC, LG, Motorola, and Samsung. U.S. wireless operators T-Mobile and Sprint Nextel are also members. Neither AT&T nor Verizon Wireless is an Open Handset Alliance member. But Verizon has said an Android phone could find its way onto its new open wireless network, which offers a more streamlined certification process" http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-10119237-94.html

Apple is more for a consumer than business but they have direction, and Microsoft is motivated to really push out a business class os, or risk being in last place or worse, no development and no partners.

Eventually these will be netbooks too. If the economy wasn't so bad, I would think we may have some very decent choices. I would love to have android on my att tilt, I hate the control apple has and can't condone it. Blackberrys are solid devices though.

Hi guys, my GPS worked great without any issue (I have flashed many roms, etc...) but recently, I didnt even flash another ROM, it just stopped getting a fix. It finds sattelites, but doesnt connect to them.

I tried all radios, roms, even the offical ROM/radio combination from htc webpage. Quick gps, Nadavis htc gps tool, keeping it in the open sky for a while for the cold start - no result. It doesnt get a fix. I tried different registry settings for the gps. (No log file, etc.)

I dunno. I guess something happened to the device :)

Do you think I have to send it in? If I do, do I have to flash back the regular spl? (i have an unsigned - of course ;) )

I have my device also security unlocked - thanks cmonex, is there a way to revert this?

Thanks for your opinions!
