"I've voided my tilt warranty by opening up my phone so i'm here for suggestions"

actually... if u look at the phone the "warranty void" sticker is under the battery, not under the LCD. I cracked my LCD before and replaced it, after doing so, my SIM wouldnt register (phone took a heavy hit breaking the screen and sim slot). I figured what the hell and called AT&T and swapped it under warranty... They didnt say anything and I got a brand new Tilt back :D
[HTC Tornado] rajathvsm:
First of all, I would like to congratulate you on running such an active worldwide community all linked by just one devotion to technology. This is my first post though I have been following this forum for a while. I am getting a new Tornado ( The deal was unbeatable!!:eek:) and I am pretty much excited.

I am searching for a cutting(/bleeding) edge ROM or even a Kitchen to spice up my new Tornado and I am prepared to learn the tricks and tools required to have a fully-functional and bug-free ( I hope I can, with your help!) 6.1 ROM having all the important and offering good usability and functionality to the end user ( ME! :D ).

So, what do you suggest? I am prepared for a steep learning curve, that usually accompanies this kind of a quest :p
[HTC Tornado] kingoldstyle:
My Opinion ...

I use actualy BlacKura Wm 6.1 Profesional rom. I like the fonts, are small, and the resolution is like PC screen. I wass able to install SPB Menu Shel 2.14, what i like most, + is a Office build in. What is verry useeful at least for me.

Lacks? Hmmm there are some aplications specialy donne for SP (smartphone) what tell me it can't been instaling on this device, what i understand because this rom is not designed for SP.

If u actually try this rom ( remeber to free your aplication lock) , remember u have a fake cursor ( like a mouse what u can use with joystick ) , what can be enabled by pressing home key for 3 secs ( that one what enable the Start menu)

Other ROms ( beleve me i wass tryd almost all) i dont like, the fact are kinda WM5 ( big fonts , menu like anyother cell without WM ).

Regards Camelia .
[HTC Tornado] rajathvsm:
Touchscreen?

Actually even I am looking for a ROM with a small font size. And judging by what you say, the ROM supports the programs written for a touchscreen device, right?

So how do you operate the cursor, I mean how do you click or drag? Is this method fast? I found out that the ROM is fast, but I could not get the way it works. So please shed some light on this.
[HTC Tornado] Goran_:
If you like profesional ROMs, try also kamikadze's

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=455950

It is great looking, small font. As for how to use professional ROMs that are ment for touchscreen devices, as kingoldstyle suggested, use SPB Menu Shell application, it allows you to move through menus very quickly using number buttons. Also, sursor can be activated and moved with a joystick, not so fast and comfortable, but I rarely use it with mine phone, only when I need to set alarm. Other than that, I dont need cursor.
[HTC Tornado] rajathvsm:
Shell?

Thanks a lot for your reply.

And where can I get the Shell?
[HTC Tornado] rajathvsm:
Apps

Should I install touchscreen or smartphone applications in this ROM?

And what is the performance benefit when compared to the Smartphone ROM?

Will the Professional ROM support Point UI in the Faraday?
[HTC Tornado] Goran_:
You can try them all. Some touchscreen applications are difficult and slow to use, so its up to you to decide what you want with your phone. I use smartphone applications mostly. I installed professional ROM because I like the good look of it (in combination with spb shell). The ROM is very fast, I didnt measure their performance, because when I installed it for the first time I just loved it. Some people here say its faster.

Check your PM.
[HTC Tornado] Qazer:
I tested Point UI Home 1.51 on my Qtek 8310 (HTC Tornado) with WM Professional ROM and works great and I don't need use FakeCursor.

I think that, Professional ROM is faster than Smartphone ROM on HTC Tornado. I use Professional ROM on my smartphone about 9 months and I wouldn't return on smartphone ROM.
[HTC Tornado] rajathvsm:
Thanks.

Thanks a lot, everybody. :)

I shall upgrade as soon as it reaches me.

Oh, the wait!!!:D
[HTC Tornado] Goran_:
Have you tried SPB shell, and if yes, do you find PointUI better, and why?
[HTC Tornado] Qazer:
Goran_: for me is better Point UI than SPB Mobile Shell. Point UI is faster and nicer for me.

Has anyone experienced/experiencing the same problem of choppy video recording on HTC Touch Diamond? When I move phone from side to side during a video recording, the image gets blurry and choppy. How do i fix that? Thanks in advance.

What did you expect from a mini cam like that... But yeah, I get the same kinda videos. Recording in bright daylight seems to improve the recording but since winter there hasn't been very much sunlight around.:rolleyes:

I dont have a data plan so when it switches, all my data applications (helloaim, etc) go dead. Is there any app on the g1 that keeps the wifi radio on? I know the iphone has something like this

thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] d00m:
I know this is cliche and annoying but that's an option in the cupcake build I tried.
[G1 Apps and Games] Meltus:
just turn the screen time-out to Never, so it never goes into sleep mode. i know this isn't very practicle and quite battery-consuming, but i can't think of anything else that would work.

you tryed APNDroid from the market? Its a Programm to toggle G3/Edge/Gprs Connection - so it's not automatically switching, but only a click :)

[General Questions and Answers] figgehedberg:
Hi,

I have just the otherday managed to upgrade my HTC Touch to an actual official WM6.1 OS supplied by HTC (belive it or not!). Since I bought the phone in Bangkok I have had to wait for the relese of the HTC Thailand upgrade.

It included the ThouchFLO 2d (which I recon sux....can't change a thing about it), but I really liked the big clock in wm6.0. Is there a way to download a file somewhere to get the clock (a clock) to show up at the "settings/today/items"?

I have had a look at the Throttle launcher, M2D but can't really get any of them to work properly....anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

/F

my device:

HTC Touch P3452 ELF0100, WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.19972 (build 19972.1.2.7)

ROM 3.07.707.02 WWE, 10/25/08

Radio 03.34.90
[General Questions and Answers] stewdog:
Not sure what you mean about big clock but do a search for HTC Home plug-in (I think the latest cab is version 2.1) and see if that is what you are after. Otherwise, have you tried the Manila 2D customizer tool (M2DC)? I don't know if it works on shipped roms TF2D but it might let you change certain aspects of TF2D.

Good luck
[General Questions and Answers] figgehedberg:
Hi,

Yes sorry for being a bit unclear....what I ment was ofcourse the digital clock display at the HTC Default Home screen. I have tried the HTC Home plug-in but it, as for so many others (feedback) freezes and forces me to hard reset.

The problem occurs when I turn off the Touchflo 2D in favour of other themes, I get no option to display a clock on the today screen (under items to display). Hence downloaded themes comes out as plain as can be without anything but a background, start and bottom bar.

I would like to have a digital clock display as for the previous HTC Default Home screen....or similar clock at least.

I read somewhere that you could display/hide the clock by changing registry values under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CClock, Disabled to 0, as per this website. I have chacked in that location but found no such registry value named cclock.

Staring to think I might be actually a bit stupid for missing something very simple.....you never know until someone tells you!

I hope I made myself a bit more clear...

/F
[General Questions and Answers] stewdog:
Well it sounds like you know what you are doing so I don't want to sound too "teachy". But what you are doing in the Item screen is turning off a Today plug-in (TF2D). AFAIK, everything that would appear on the Today screen is displayed as a plug-in. Your rom opted to show the TF2D plug-in. This plug-in overrides all others in the item screen so in order to use another plug-in, you must uncheck the TF2D plug-in. So with no plug-ins selected, you will have a blank Today screen.

There are several plug-ins you can install as alternatives to TF2D such as HTC Home, RLToday, etc. Just query Today plug-ins. Once installed you can initialise them from the Items screen. It is a little worrying that HTC Home crashes on your device. You might try a soft reset (small hole, poke with stylus) or uninstall it and reinstall it. It might be that you've run out of Program memory (Settings-->System--Memory). A soft reset will free it up again. I hope some of this is helpful.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DaSouthWon:
Hi, I'm new to the forum and have only basic skills when it comes to doing hacks and mods. So please be patient.

I recently purchased a second HP HX2795 on ebay that had a cracked screen. I ordered and replaced the screen, charged the battery and booted it up. The first issue I encountered was that it is a spanish language version. I looked through my other HX and could'nt find a language setting to switch it to English. Searching the internet is what brought me here. I found an old thread explaining how to patch in a new language but I don't really understand how to do it. My second issue occurs shortly after it boots, it stays frozen on the owner information screen and wont do anything else. I was wondering if it could possibly be an issue with the new screen connection so I pulled it apart and made sure everything was secure. No luck. Is there a way to reset or reflash the unit back to its original factory settings. I did a hard reset several times with no change. Thanks for your time and patience, Brian
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DaSouthWon:
I resolved the issue with it being stuck on the owner info screen. Seems my lack of espanol kept me from understanding the instrustions on what it wanted me to do. Now if I can just translate it to english, I'll have another working hx2795 for $3 plus the new screen.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DaSouthWon:
I've been trying to figure this out for days. Can anyone help?

Hi.. i was searching for a shake2unlock app... i found 2 on the forums but one does not work for the Omnia and the other didnt have the shake feature as far as i could tell...

So my q:

is there an app that when you shake your phone it also unlocks s2u2?

thx
[General Questions and Answers] Kraize:
Simple answer. No :( I would love this too, but it hasn't been developed yet. I would ask A_C.
[General Questions and Answers] egzthunder1:
Next time, please ask your questions in the Q&A section rather than opening a new thread.

Mods,

Please move to Q&A at your discretion. Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Meen:
I think it'll consume a lot of power.
[General Questions and Answers] Kraize:
Nah. If you see PocketShield or TouchLockPro. It does not consume that much power.
[General Questions and Answers] d-signet:
doesnt that defeat the point...it will just unlock it when you walk or run , which totally defeats the point of a lock
[General Questions and Answers] egzthunder1:
Maybe if you have the ability to program it to unlock by swinging the device in a specific manner, that might overcome that issue (think throttle lock or Android type of lock software).
[General Questions and Answers] qiuness:
And unlocking in pocket would not be an issue because you could also use the light sensor. whenever it is dark dont shake 2 unlock

oh and sorry for the bad location of the thread
[General Questions and Answers] d-signet:
ah, so it would only unlock by accident if you were running and holding the phone then, or if the screen waking up on an incomming text / call triggered the light sensor, or if the phone was on your car dashboard and you went over a speedbump, or...etc etc etc ... oh and you couldnt unlock your phone at night

sorry, just dont see any practical use for this app and LOTS of potential issues.

up to you if you want to spend weeks coding it of course

[G1 General] ranger7424:
I called customer service today to see about getting the battery replaced on my G1. I explained that I am only getting a few hours use before having to recharge and that I have turned off all unnecessary services and dimmed the screen and set the timeout to a minute. The first rep determined that I needed a new battery, he placed me on hold got their hold music for about 2 minutes then got cut off - no callback from the rep. I called back into customer service, got a new rep he played 20 questions with me and determined that I needed a new battery. At this time he checked the warranty on my phone, obviously still in warranty, but the battery is classified as an accessory and the warranty on it expired on January 19. He told me I would have to speak to the accessory department and buy a new battery. I told him that I should not have to pay for a new battery since it is an essential part of what makes the phone function and without it, the phone does not work. He kept insisting that I have to talk to accessories to get a replacement, I kept telling him that I should not have to pay for equipment that was part of a phone that is covered by a 1 year warranty. He placed me on hold to check with a supervisor to see if there was anything else they could do for me. The supervisor offered to have T-Mobile pay for half of the battery, I found this completely unacceptable, telling the rep that I still don't understand why I should have to pay for a piece of equipment that is essential in making my phone work. All of this went on for about 20 minutes, and finally offered to transfer me to HTC to see what they could do, I asked him to warm transfer me and explain the issue so I wouldn't have to explain it for a 3rd time, he agreed. He brought the HTC rep on the line, she told me they could replace the battery but I would have to buy a new one and then return the old one and get a refund stating this was their way of guaranteeing that they get the defective battery back. I asked why they couldn't just hold my CC number and charge me if I didn't return the battery, she told me that isn't how they do things. I refused to buy a new battery and we said goodbye.

At this point I was pretty pissed off, fortunately I know some people at a couple of the T-Mobile stores, I went down and talked to a salesman there that I haven't actually worked with, but he knew who I was. I explained the situation, he told me to wait a minute and disappeared into the back room for a couple minutes, when he came out, he handed me a battrey from a returned G1 and said keep both batteries.

Moral of the story, if you have had your G1 less than 3 months call T-Mobile and get the battery warrantied.
[G1 General] haitiankid4lyf:

[G1 General] ranger7424:

[G1 General] haykuro:
Odd, I just finished speaking with a rep and they say no such [extended] battery replacement program exists at the moment. T-Mobile is well aware of the battery issues with this phone, and have known even before the release (a previous rep informed me that during field testing, the phone only lasted 3 hours. :rolleyes:)
[G1 General] ranger7424:
dont know anything about an extended battery replacement, I called about the standard battery.
[G1 General] TimSykes:
Warning: Take this with a grain of salt. I got this info from a sales rep at a corporate t-mobile store.

So I went to a t-mobile store over the weekend, I had a issue with my back cover, and asked about any new batteries. The guy gave me a new back cover and a 2nd battery (free) to hold me over until the new ones came out. He told me starting next week, the new G1s will be shipping with a better extended battery, and should be starting a replacement program for current g1 owners. I just hope its true.
[G1 General] haykuro:
Please refer to:
[G1 General] TimSykes:
yeah I know, I read that, and I am giving posting info I was told about. thats why I said take it with a grain of salt. One of the reps are wrong. The one I spoke with, or the one you did. But I have heard from more then one rep at different locations they are working on a replacement program.
[G1 General] n1kon:
FYI.

HTC give 12 months on batteries and 24 months on device. If you get issues with T-Mobile just go direct.
[G1 General] Bmore_Shag:
Just to clear the air...

Hey, Just to clear the air on warranty issues for cell phone accessories. I work for T-Mobile, and no they do not honor warranty on any accessories after 90 days. The handset itself has a 1 year warranty, and all accessories included in the box, i.e. home chargers, wired earpieces, and yes batteries, only have a 90 day warranty. Just being honest here, but seriously, people are hard on their phones. Some phones do have battery issues. Then again, some people just never stop talking, text messaging, or web browsing on their phones. I wonder why their batteries don't last??? Not to mention, the one's who I ask a customer, "When you're on MySpace, or FaceBook for like 3 hours at a time, does the back of your phone get hot?" 9 times outta 10, I hear "Yeah!!!" as the reply... Hmmm... now here's a hint HEAT AND ELECTRONICS DON'T MAKE A GOOD PAIR!!! The other scenario is they talk on the phone while it's on the house/car charger, again that causes the phone to get hot... See previous hint. I'm not saying that all claims are BS, but 99% come from idiots who abuse their phone, and only about 1% come from people who really get a defective unit... No offense to you ranger. I'm just stating the facts here. Oh, and don't put in a claim for insurance... Just go to Ebay, and search for your phone models battery, and include OEM in the search. I've gotten batteries with a new battery door cover for $1 plus shipping, and it's the official battery, not an aftermarket. Save time and money that way. Hope my rant was useful.

[G1 General] ninjai:
I just got t-mobile to send me a replacement battery for my G1 (via free ground shipping), which 1. I got my G1 from ebay, and 2. my plan is a month to month that has only been activated for 1 month.

The first time i called I was told i had to contact HTC. I called HTC and they wanted me to pay for the battery unitll i sent my faulty one back. After askin the HTC rep plenty of qestions, It turns out they pretty much gives t-mo just the phone, so all "acessories" are handlede by tmobile. HTC told me they would recieve the battery then just end up sending it to t-mo. Once i heard that, I respectfully declined that offer from HTC. (HTC reps are very very nice people)

I then called Tmo back and asked why i would have to send the battery to HTC, when it was just going to be sent right back to t-mo in the end. I was put on hold for a couple minutes, transferred to another department who offered to send me the new batt (and told me i dont need to send the old one back). They offered to ship it for free via ups ground, or fed ex 3 day for an extra fee. I took the free shipping.

I still give a thumbs up to t-mobile tech support as everyone was very nice and willing to listen. Something tells me a part of it was how polite i try to be when dealing with people like this.
[G1 General] jimmy8301:
I have to agree with Uberingram.

I have been in wireless for 5 years and this is one of the worst PDA phone batteries I have ever used. This battery capacity was far underestimated for this type of device.

How can you begin to get angry at a customer for using there phone to its fullest capacity? You say, " Then again, some people just never stop talking, text messaging, or web browsing on their phones ", well, that's what they did pay for, correct? T-Mobile should provide a handset that is able to meet the expectations set fourth.

Yet, I understand your point of view, it is annoying when I have a customer who is addicted to posting there status on Myspace every 2 minutes, and they come in barking about battery life. Yet, I have no grounds to defend the phone on with this devices battery.
[G1 General] uberingram:
Well said however I don't believe that T-Mobile will ever ante up to our better battery demands. That being said I think we should all be content with what we have, make do or go a different route (either with a different battery or a different phone all together). It's the price we pay for basically being Google/Tmo's unpaid beta testers.

For all those that want to *****, piss and moan: Have a blast. Life isn't fair but I'll call you when it is.

Bmore_Shag, I would watch what you call your customers. It would probably best that you call us all a bunch of idiots and not be a T-Mobile employee at the same time. I fire employees that play that card on forums where I work. Just food for thought.
[G1 General] neoobs:
Just to let you know if you really want to complain to anyone at T-Mobile, and this goes for everyone, PM me and I will tell you how.

If enough of you flood the box with battery issues I am sure it will be solved soon LOL and remember to threaten them with a cancellation, tell them you will cancel your contract and sue if they charge you an EFT.
[G1 General] ranger7424:
Its really a shame you jump on here slamming your customers when you dont even know what the facts are. I do not live on my phone, I do use it for texting and occasional web browsing. I rarely use myspace or facebook on my phone. I do not talk on my phone when it is connected to a charger. There has been no abuse concerning this phone. I have owned 4 PDA phones prior to this with similar usage habits and this phone does not even compare to the life I got out the prior phones. I agree with UBER his statements are valid. You have no facts to state and until you do keep your opinions to yourself especially when it comes to your customers.
