XDA Flame does not turn on via "turn on/off" button, only by soft reset! why?

Hi,

My relative gave me their XDA Flame - they bought it in summer 2007 and used it till summer 2008. They said they never had any problems with it. It was boxed since July 2008 till December 2008, when he gave it to me, to replace my XDAII!

Now the main issue is:

XDA Flame is not usable to turn on via the "turn on/off" swtich on the top left - screen stays blank - only by soft reset then it comes on and all is ok then. Why is this? This is a constant problem!

When after some time - i am so far seeing over an hour - I am not using the XDA flame - when i want to and press the on button - it does not come on. I press all the buttons, it does not work. I have to soft re-set to be able to use it. If ater 10-20 minutes i press the turn on button (on the top left), it comes on. If like I go to sleep and wake up, or after a one hour lunch (and no call received or sent), then the XDA Flame does not turn on - will see the green light flashing all the time indicating the phone is on, and that is it. Last night someone called me when the fone was on vibration at 20.30..but I noticed it at 21.00 and the phone was constantly vibrating with a BLANK screen as usual.

i tried with the old battery (which after fully recharging to 100% drains to 10% in 10-30 minutes - any ideas why?) - and that was the same problem.

Any ideas?

Hey.

This is a well known problem with this device called "SB" (Sleeping Beauty)

Check out solutions here: http://xdaflameusers.com/

Greets !
[General Topics] doc1066:
definite solution to SB (sleeping beauty) on XDA Flame..I think!

Hi,

thanks for the weblink.

After extensive research i found 2 solutions

1. to upgrade my wm5 rom to mk4 rom (availble on that same site) or for wm6 to oo3 cotulla rom

2. to do a small minor change in the registry.

I did 2. and after 3 hours my SB didnot happen (usually happens after non use 1 hour). But will see if it really workds and my alarm will go off in the morning, or the nurses will call me that im late for work!

well for 2, info is below:

"Hey Friends Finally I was able to solve the SB Problem Totally FOR WM6 AND WM6.1

WHat did I did?

I Downloaded the Toshiba G900 DUmp

I noticed that it had a sperate dll for

nvd.dll "Power-manageable block device'

nvrm.dll "for Generic power-manageable devices"

while our flame had only 1 dll i.e nvrm.dll for both generic and block power-manageable devices

I Compared the dll calls of nvrm.dll of G900 And nvrm.dll and found that the flame nvrm.dll calls

nvbsp.dll While that of G900 does not call nvbsp.dll

SO our flame has nvbsp in place of nvd.dll of the toshiba G900.

Now the Promblem lies in the flame registry.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\nvplatform]

"P4"=dword:1

"VI_DEFAULT_STATE"=dword:1

"EnableDPD"=dword:1

"GpioVI"=dword:1005b

"GpioDPD"=dword:10054

"IClass"=multi_sz:"{8DD679CE-8AB4-43c8-A14A-EA4963FAA715}"

"Index"=dword:1

"Order"=dword:1

"Dll"="nvrm.dll"

"Prefix"="NVR"

now see the Iclass which is a multi line string value having value {8DD679CE-8AB4-43c8-A14A-EA4963FAA715}"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Interfaces]

"{A32942B7-920C-486b-B0E6-92A702A99B35}"="Generic power-manageable devices"

"{8DD679CE-8AB4-43c8-A14A-EA4963FAA715}"="Power-manageable block devices"

"{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}"="Power-manageable NDIS miniports"

"{EB91C7C9-8BF6-4a2d-9AB8-69724EED97D1}"="Power-manageable display"

this value is for Power-manageable block devices what abt the "{A32942B7-920C-486b-B0E6-92A702A99B35}"="Generic power-manageable device

so the modified registry is

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\nvplatform]

"P4"=dword:1

"VI_DEFAULT_STATE"=dword:1

"EnableDPD"=dword:1

"GpioVI"=dword:1005b

"GpioDPD"=dword:10054

"IClass"=multi_sz:"{A32942B7-920C-486b-B0E6-92A702A99B35}","{8DD679CE-8AB4-43c8-A14A-EA4963FAA715}"

"Index"=dword:1

"Order"=dword:1

"Dll"="nvrm.dll"

"Prefix"="NVR"

now after this i disable all the power manageable value disablepowermanagement to 1

and did a soft rest

did the following tests

GSM off --aftersuspend phone wake's up

GSM,WLAN,Bluetooth on --aftersuspend phone wake's up

Installed Malloth's latern the c# one phone wak's up after suspend

INSTALLED SPB SHELL 2.0 PHONE WAKE'S UP

"

NOTE: I did not (as did not find) disable the power managenable value in the registry..and so far it works after 3 hours on standby. will see when i have my 6 hours sleep if it will still work i.e and my alarm goes off!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Studebaker72:
Good morning Gents! Looking for a suitable car charger for my Diamond the HTC website pointed me to the "HTC CC C100", which I immedeately ordered by Amazon for a mere 10 Euros including shipping. Well, to my surprise the delivered car charger has the designation "HTC CLM10D-050", which also can be found floating around in various online shops. Both seem to be genuine HTC products, so what's the difference after all? Thanks for any insight, and have a great day guys!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] macrossranma:
on similar subject, i have a car charger for Garmin gps and it charge my HTC Diamond no problem, wondering if it will damage the diamond battery for long use?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] drbibber:
as long as the energyvalue (i.e. 800mah) isn't greater than the one of the battery it should be alright.
[Touch HD General] kauka187:
as the title says when i use my HD to listen to music using the touchflo music player, after a few minutes, the sound cuts out for a few seconds during the song, then resumes. and its not like the song pauses , because when the sound comes back its further along in the song.

initially i thought it was because of the song but the same playlist plays fine using mobile wmp.

anyone else have this problem and has a fix?

cheers
[Touch HD General] PilotRMK:
I see several other threads on this subject, but all go into conversations on the use of third-party conversion software. I use a Sony Vegas Pro 8 video editing software which can convert to any format/settings (and incidentally costs more than the HTC device itself).

What I am looking for is the best video settings as for:

1: type (wmv, mp4, etc)

2: codec

3: bitrate

4: size

5: framerate

I’m trying differing settings at random, but as of yet haven’t resulting in a better video than was on my 2003 Palm T3. If I find a good fit I’ll post it, but would be interested to see if anyone has found the best settings mix. HTC tech support are no help and have little to no understanding of video formats.
[Touch HD General] willy1973:
1: mp4

2: video: h.264 audio: aac

3: 800 - 1500 Kbps audio: 128Kbps

4: 800x480 16:9 cropped

5: Original (25 -30)

Play the resulting file in Album htc player or Windows Media Player.

It's what I use and it works great!
[Touch HD General] PilotRMK:
Willy1973 that works much better, thanks. Still some intermittent stuttering, but I suppose thats down to so much overhead in WM6.
[Touch HD General] Wolfenzi:
1500 is too much. Set 1000 and it wont lag ever.
[Touch HD General] Noodled24:
^ I've used "super" for a long time, once you get the settings right, it's very good. However, my Touch HD wont play the videos i converted to my atom life.

Also even with the video bitrate set to 600 there is still some stuttering. (when using the default "video player". As of yet I've not been able to make WMP find any of the mp4 videos on my memory card, and the TF3D album only finds videos stored on the actual device itself.

The Blackstone video encoding GUI ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=467112 ) is neat and handy - especially if you just want to dump a few videos in and leave it running overnight - i've found it to be a bit slower than super, but there isnt much in it tbh.

I've not installed coreplayer yet -going to give that a try now, and see if that helps with the playback issues I'm having. But even so it would be nice to have the option of using WMP - if ayone has any ideas as to why it isnt finding the videos on my memory card? I've tried putting the vids in the main directory,and also tried creating a folder on the memory card called "video". Neither has worked yet.
[Touch HD General] willy1973:
WMP has a "open file.." menu item, for single files, in the library.

Album should find your memcard, press the left dialog-button, while in album..

Check out this post:

[Touch HD General] Noodled24:
Thanks!

Thanks for that, I'm now able to locate the memory card and videos located on it via the "album"... i was only seeing the previews in the photo and video tab. Can now locate all!

With WMP I can locate single files... but cant understand why they're not showing up in the library. Even after being played via WMP. (I should add, it has no problem locating music files, just video)

Both these solutions seems to have eliminated the stuttering I was getting before.

The reason i like WMP so much is that when one video is finnished it moves to the next rather than stopping completely.
[Touch HD General] SomethingWicked:
I'm experimenting with Catalyst DVD Converter which I found in another thread and am unable to completely eliminate that pesky frame dropping every few seconds on my HD. Here's what's working best so far

1: .avi

2: DIVX5

3: 500

4: 400x240 (autocropped by catalyst dvd to fill the screen, which I really like!)

5: 30

Note: I use CorePlayer to play the videos. One thing I've noticed is that although the mpeg4 and h.264 files do play ok on win media player mobile, mpeg4 files are much larger that divx, and h.264 (also .mp4 extension) take 2-3 time longer to encode to the device. I've not had good luck playing 800x480 files as they shudder so badly because there's 4 times as much info for the HD to process, and the 400x240 files play really nicely. I use Dutty's 1.5 rom with tnyynt's sd card tuneup cab, which I think is already incorporated into the rom???

Hope this helps... --Jesse
[Touch HD General] Noodled24:
I've now disovered that WMP is finding my MP4 files, but for some reason it's adding them to my music library rather than to my video library?

Is there an option somewhere to tell it that .mp4 extentions are video?
[Touch HD General] Wolfenzi:
1/4 resolution and 500bitrate must be ugly :rolleyes:
[Touch HD General] Jasonong75:
go where to set the video setting??? tks
[Touch HD General] Cap Loz:
With DVD Catalyst 3 (which I presume is the same) I use the default settings

1: .mp4

2: h264_ipod_hq

3: 600

4: 800 x 480

5: 30

I play them back with the Album player, (if you just use your file explorer to find the file and click on it, it will play in Album player by default) and get totally stutter free video. I was particularly impressed by the action seens in Tropic Thunder and Star Wars, where I was expecting to see frames dropped. But there weren't any!!

I have converted at least 10 movies, some from DVD, and some from .avi's. It auto scans from either start up or insertion in your player then finds the correct file from all the .vobs etc. With .avi's, you can just drag and drop.

When using the autoscan for DVD's, it's worth checking preview within Catalyst to make sure it has picked the correct language version, or indeed if it needs subtitiles for a foriegn movie.

I have tried about 5 different programs now for conversion and have found this to be far and away the best. I have now put my money where my mouth is and purchased it. (For those that haven't tried, it is available on a 7 day trial)

Top notch Video on the HD that is well worth comparing with your mates' IPod at last. :D :D
[Touch HD General] SomethingWicked:
actually, if you'd read my message, you'd see where i said they play fine. in fact, theres a theead floating around discussing this. it's where i got the idea :)

sweet. thanks for the info. i'll convert a dvd right now :D
[Touch HD General] cooney:
How do i convert the video using Sony Vegas? Ive tried "render to new track" but i cant choose the recomended video/audio settings there.

I dont know if anyone else has ever had this problem but my Niki doesnt seem to come out of standby. When switched on all is well you can call and recieve calls too, as soon as the backlight turns itself off and it goes into standby the screen doesnt want to light up again. The green indication light is still on but no visable screen. Any help from anyone would be much appriciated.

Ive tried installing a new ROM but it still keep on doing the same thing.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] nlel:
I had the Standby of Death SOD this is when the phone fails to come out of standby with a power button press. This issue only affects some people on some networks. I'm not sure if its a network problem or a software problem but as only a minority of people have it, I suspect its mainly a network problem there is a software solution.

The solution is to change the phone settings band option from auto 3G/2G to either 3G Only (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) or 2G Only (GSM) depending on your requirements.

Also read this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=540943&highlight=standby&page=2where the resolution was to get a new SIM.

Obviously this only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Curious D:
I am looking to replace my 8125 and I have watched the 8525 and Tilt pass me by. For those owning a Fuze / Raphael and are into gaming, how does the Dpad respond to gaming and can the phone be hacked to allow for an action key (for firing/jumping)? I have interest in being able to play old games (such as those found with MAME, PocketGnuBoy), but I'm getting the feeling that no subsidized phone on ATT will suit this one area of interest.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jd885:
i have a NES emulator on mine along with about 10 other games, Mario Kart clone, Dope wars ETC, the D-Pad is decent but i usually remap the keys so i can use the Keyboard
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] player911:
A lot of people use AEButton plus to remap the functions of the Home/Back buttons so only work on Double taps. The Call/Hangup buttons can easily be remapped in-game to do nothing.

As long as you can rid yourself of the extra functions that surround (and screw with) the Dpad... your gold. Then use the onscreen button mapping that the emulators provide. Works pretty well.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Arju:
or you could install kforRaphael (search the forum) and you'll be able to remap all the keys on your hardware keyboard in game.. well it's really easy.. what you do is just switch on a switch that enables you to remap all the hardware keys using kforRaphael.. i used this in many games like cod2 and so forth..

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woodsman:
In the dark, the Xperia keyboard looks awesome. But in the light, the keys are hard to see. I have to tilt the device at different angles to read the keycaps. The keys are silver and the backlight makes them disappear in ambient light. Anyone have a hint, like shutting off key backlight when the light sensor registers light? Would be a great idea if they could do it - we only need the backlight for the keyboard when it's nearly dark.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoelucker:
Just go to settings, system, power, backlight and tick auto adjust. This is what i use anyway and it means that the keyboard hardly ever lights up in the day but looks great at night.

Anyone know of a way to get a pda phone such as an i-mate ultimate 9502 to pretend to be a smartphone?

We have corporate email at work which needs an initial setup - which works fine with smartphones ( used to use a blackjack i600). would like to use my ultimate 9502 instead but the setup fails.. am thinking that this is due to the phone being more than a smartphone.

any ideas, anyone?

My problems appear to be caused by the applications that the ultimate 9502 auto insytalls after a hard reset. Is anyone familiar with a way of preventing or delaying this autoinstall? I have upgraded the 9502 to the new windows mobile 6.1 thinking that this may resolve the problem.

Hi there,

if i connect my blackstone with my original charger to an ac plug, i can mark the option "dont charge if connected via USB to PC" and my blackstone is charged normal. With my car-charger and an other ac-charger i have to uncheck this option, otherwise the device isnt charged. somehow thinks the htc that he ist connected to an pc, what is not the case.

is that normal? an suggestions?
[Touch HD Accessories] EnigmaNL:
Just dont enable "dont charge if connected via USB to PC". Why even enable that? Why would you NOT want it to charge when you have it connected to your PC?

dunno, just read somewhere that it is better for your battery-condition.
[Touch HD Accessories] Aussi:
If you constantly plug it in and out of the PC it is indeed not wise to charge it via de pc
[Touch HD Accessories] Riceburner:
Um, why not?

The Touch HD has a lithium battery hasn't it?? Once the battery has been conditioned then it shouldn't really affect it that much, unless you're worried about overall charge cycles?

From wikipedia:

Li-ion batteries do not suffer from the memory effect.

Also it seems it does not affect if you quick charge or not.

After trade in my SE Xperia X1 to Touch HD, i feel the color on my Touch HD look very GRAY (while playback the video). It seem lack of contrast and saturation.

I tried search many topic in here but no method can success to make any change in contrast or saturation.

BTW, i tried encode the video by increased the contrast and saturation and it will be look better before any modification. But i don't think it is a good idea.

Therefore, i would like to know if someone know how to do it to modify the LCD contrast and saturation.

Thanks

i presume from your really helpful answer you're directing me to the htc site

if you do know a link to the actual file, perhaps letting me know where that was would have taken just as long to do as the smart answer and been much more helpful.
