What do you guys/gals recommend, I have been trying to install HTC streaming media on my stock "O2 Serra" and i am having no luck, I’ve been trawling through web pages!!!

I managed to get youtube etc working using a flash bundle, but I would like to get BBC iplayer working.

Are there any good alternatives?

Thanks folks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ciskclar:
Hi All,

I've been running hyperdragon III for past six months or so with no problems, however, of late i'm having issues when connecting my tytn ii to the PC. It's stating the usb device is not recognised and therefore cannot perform syncs etc.

I've tried on two different machines one with vista/Mobile Device Center and another with XP/ActiveSync 4.5 and two different usb cables, I've performed a hard reset but with the same results.

It seems i'm unable to update/rollback my ROM due to the fact i don't have a succesfull usb connection!

Please help!!

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] operative1:
maybe your usb port is borked like the ones of some other kaiser users.

does it charge when connected to the wall charger?

for the rom flashing: you can also flash a rom from your sd card. have a look at the wiki as i don't know the excact process and dont want to bring you in more trouble you already are ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ciskclar:
Hi

Thanks for the prompt reply.

The phone does charge from both the charger and the usb cable.

I'll take a look at ROM via sd
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ciskclar:
Just updated the rom from hyperdragon iii to iv via sd card, still no joy. windows states device unrecognised!

Any ideas anyone? Really need this device to sync, especially now i've done a hard reset and lost all my contacts!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
Try syncing via bluetooth?

Indeed most likely your USB port is broken. Search this forum a bit, it's full of such occurrences so it isn't a rare thing at all.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] operative1:
for the time, your usb port is broken and if you dont have bluetooth.

mail2web.com offers a service called mail2web live. its a free exchange 2003 account. You can sync contacts, calender and mail with that server using wifi or 2g/3g. and for the files, try livemesh ( mesh.live.com )

i've active sync configured at home but i havent used it for a few weeks now thanks to live mesh and mail2web.

btw. have you tried if it's charging when connected to the wallcharger / usb port?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ciskclar:
OK thanks for all the info, i've rolled back to the original orange ROM in prep for sending it back to orange for a replacement (still under warrenty) but i'm unable to find the original orange splash screens, any ideas where i can find them?

Thanks
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] pnomaster:
Hi, i had unlocked and flashed dcd roms on my bell 6800, xept my phone got dropped in water and now the screen works but the touch feature doesnt, and neither does my camera. Bell is basically making me pay 120$ plus a whole month waiting time to get it fixed. I took it apart myself and was thinking i could replace parts that werent working since i could get a hold of a used sprint version (mogul or titan i guess) so i was wondering what steps i would have to take to make the sprint phone work on the bell network with my number and the bell network info if i chose to scrap the bell phone and use the used one?

Like i said if done the rom flashing before so i guess first step would be unlocking the used phone, then flashing it with the stock bell rom i guess?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] unL33T:
I believe this can be done by cloning the ESN but I think that *might* be illegal and not an allowed topic on these boards but I could be wrong since I've never looked into it but have seen a couple threads kicking around on here about cloning ESN's.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] pnomaster:
wow well if its illegal i didnt expect it since all im doing is getting my phone to work again..its essentially the same phone xept different look :S...considering the 6800 is discontinued they wont even give me one of equal pricing, i was hoping on the touch pro but thats another 500$, i figure the 115 they want me to pay to fix wouldnt be worth it if i can get another one for the same price, it just happends to be from a different carrier :(
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] pnomaster:
at most i can always replace the camera bit inside, camera says unable to initialize, as well as the touch screen...screen works but its not touch anymore
[XPERIA X1 General] tifosi256:
Hi Guys

Another basic question here. I can see how I can set the phone to ring, how to set it to vibrate, and how to make it be totally silent. My question is, can you make the phone ring AND vibrate for an incoming call? When I select ring in the control panel, it makes the vibrate option vanish. Please tell me this is possible!

Regards,

Andrew
[XPERIA X1 General] v1rone:
In Settings/Personal/Sounds & Notifications you hit the notifications tab at the bottom.

Under 'Event', choose "Phone: Incoming call"

Under 'Type', choose "Vibrate and ring" or "Vibrate then ring"

You can also do all this in Settings/Personal/Phone.. first tab..

I reccomend exploring your phone before asking something like this. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but you could have found this extreamly easily just by looking at all the options you can choose from in the settings window/list.
[XPERIA X1 General] tifosi256:
Thank you very much v1rone. Don't worry, no offense taken.

I have been looking for this feature for a while now and didn't post as a first resort. This phone is just so different from my last one (SE P990) that it's taking me a while to get to grips with it. I had seen that screen before, but for some reason, I didn't notice that middle drop down and saw vibrate as a tick box for all the other things in the top drop down so I assumed it wasn't possible for phone calls.

Anyway, it's all sorted now, thank you very much for your guidance.

BTW, when clicking on the "notifications" tab at the bottom, it takes ages for the tab to come up. This has only been since I upgraded to the new R2 firmware. On the older R1 firmware, it still took a while, but not nearly as long as it does now. Just thought I'd mention it.
[XPERIA X1 General] v1rone:
Yeah, mine does the same thing when trying to get into that tab. Not sure what the deal is there.

I haven't flashed any of the new R2 roms yet. It's possible that the R2 versions have more files in the windows folder, causing this application to take longer when seeking out all the settings it needs to display it's window. Not sure..

I have absolutely zero evidence to backup this statement seeing that I haven't peeked into the updated rom files yet, but who knows :o
[XPERIA X1 General] tifosi256:
Sounds plausible :p
[XPERIA X1 General] mobilemodman:
on another note, any way to make the X1i ring and vibrate in a sane manner . . . the vibration is sort of insane lol

anyone know of any app/program to control this?

thanks :)

Try VAlert, cab should be somewhere on these forums.
[Touch HD General] cokbok:
Hi everyone,

I am having a problem with the HD and would like to ask you if you are also having the same problem sometimes.

As I said, it is not all the time but sometimes. I get a message but the phone does not let me know about it at all. However, it only does when I press the power button to do something else, it rings the message tone so I am aware of that I got a message (sms). When I check the time of the message, it is definetely earlier than when I pressed the power button.

Threaded messages are turned on. Phone is set NOT to wake up when an SMS is received. I don't want it to turn itself on in my pocket.

Regards.
[Palm Treo Pro] aramhaik:
I used to love this phone very much I can't stand it anymore. My last one treo 680 had was hanging once every 10 calls on an incoming call. Spent numerous hours reading forums trying all kinds of stuff including hard reset and manually inputting every single phonebook item. Nothing it just kept on hanging.

Recently bought a treo pro. Except for the inability to sync with a MacOS which is actually a major shortcoming the phone worked fine... At least until I found those f...in cracks on the phone body mentioned in one of the posts. Shipped to the warranty service which told me that the repair will take between 4-6 weeks. They are probably going to send it with the slowest post service to china and have it repaired there. 6 weeks is more than 10% of the warranty period.

In one word - the worst deal ever.

The second I get this phone back I'm selling it.
[Palm Treo Pro] DerBoxer:
Cracks

I also found a little crack and asked them what to do; they arranged a pick-up service and it took about 10 days and I received a new one; so You might hope :) that it comes back faster (in my case it went to the UK and back).
[Palm Treo Pro] stevebrooks:
Cracks...

Since I just happened to stumble upon this post, I might as well add my own little rant about Palm...

I purchase my Treo Pro Oct 31/08. In January I noticed the cracks everyone is talking about.. By the volume there 2 and one by the wireless button.

I live in Canada. The Treo Pro does not sell in Canada so I purchased mine online from the US.

Palm Canada will not honour the warranty because they do not sell it and told me since I purchased it in the US, I would have to speak with Palm US.

Palm US, will not honour the warranty because I do not have a US Shipping location. I do not know anyone in the US. Palm can easily arrange to drop the phone in to one of the many shipments going back and forth to Palm Canada but decided to tell me that it's my problem. Well. Nice Customer service. I spent $500 plus dollars for their phone, Palm could care a less about their customer, even when they know that the Cracks are a known issue.

Let me say one more thing here. The phone is made by HTC. The last phone I purchased was an HTC as well - The Vogue. You know, The one with the MSM-7500 Chipset with the Imageon (Missing) driver issue? One of the many HTC phones which HTC decided not to include the driver for? (See here.. http://www.htcclassaction.org/)

To say the least, I am a little pissed at HTC as well as Palm for dropping the ball in both cases. I will think very hard about the Pre, or any HTC products in the future (not).
[Palm Treo Pro] aramhaik:
In the meantime its has been already 5 weeks. Palm keeps saying that the phone is not ready yet. Isn't there like a maximum reparation time after which they must refund?
[Palm Treo Pro] mccune:
Bought a DVD player from Panasonic once. Since it had some problems I think we have to add them to the list of worst company as well :confused:

I tried numerous Palm devices wich worked just fine. With and without all the tweaking I do on devices.

Noticed a stuck pixel on my Palm Pro and Palm is going to repair it. So that's actually a plus since my old SPV e200 wasn't repaired and had the same problem..

I hope an admin is going to close this useless thread..
[Palm Treo Pro] jirilucius:
I have a Treo 750 and sofar im happy with it. I got it as a used phone but it was in a real good condition.
[Palm Treo Pro] Pawwlik:
I had Treo 650,680,750 and now I have Treo Pro, and Centro as a second phone.

Only 650 I had to replace, it was unstable. The second one was OK.

I still believe, the PalmOS was the best mobile system - superfast response, simple interface, even my wife understood it :D. Today, I would crash the Treo Pro to the ground waiting for something to appear sometimes. But I still like this form factor and would not buy another phone. ;)
[Touch HD General] noris08:
i am wondering if there is any possibility to overclock the cpu of the HD as it was possible on old HTC devices with omap processors?

i often found the HD to be very slow and i would like some more speed 9as probably most of us:D)

would it be adviseble to overclock it?

thanks for any useful info!
[Touch HD General] hobs0n:
would be very cool! i bet htc is running it in a ridicolous safe speed =)
[Touch HD General] noris08:
no infos on that matter?

any tech guy with some more experience?

nobody?
[Touch HD General] dazza9075:
i did some research in to the matter, and there are some things that can be changed but i believe its just timeings, at the moment it would appear that you can not adjust the clock speed its self.

Also, changing the timings seemed to have a negative affect on stability, id imagin that whilst the clock speed may be running low, the timings are about as tight as you can get.
[Touch HD General] sschrupp:
anyone tried using Pocket Hack Master yet?
[Touch HD General] iamdata:
will try it out tonight
[Touch HD General] Cret:
I tried it but it didn't work. May not have been the right version perhaps.

It was a few weeks ago so I can't remember what actually happened when I tried it sorry.
[Touch HD General] JohnQ:
there is a dynamic overclocking software for specifically qualcomm chipset. it's good anyway.
[Touch HD General] harrispo:
Don't be coy. Let us in on the action :p
[Touch HD General] noris08:
i wonder what software that would be?:confused:

can you point it for us? any details about it? would it be dangerous for HD integrity?
[Touch HD General] iamdata:
just installed it, then bells rang..... ur processor is not supported, looked rubbishw when the app loaded up. all distored, defiantely not meant for our wvga. Soooooo whats this qualcom overclocking software... i will explore google see what i can find.....
[Touch HD General] dazza9075:
id give up, i searched for ages to no avail, i believe the only thing that can we tweaked are various timings but it seems that almost any attempt improve these results in instability and crashing.
[Touch HD General] HappyLlama:
I'm not really interested in overclocking, but I saw this thread and remembered I saw somewhere else some info on this subject.

Perhaps this is something to try:

WTF?!?!?!anyone tested stability of the 2 day old version?
[Touch HD General] harrispo:
This won't work - the Touch HD has a Qualcomm processor NOT an OMAP

Yes Please let us in on the action :)
[Touch HD General] a15e9e:
well, i've saw this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=507798&highlight=overclock , but you guys read carefully, its apeears to be no effect, through if it has, every processor u overclock have its life shortened...i've a blue angel, 400 mhz working at a 200~530, xscale processor can do this (change it's frequency accordinto to the necessary) but i wond the Qualcomm ones do the same (according to the post appears to not, but it's no cleary).

everyone may say...so all you said righ now is a load of crap... Thats not, i'm just sharing wat i've discovered until now, since i've gone to blackstone few day ago.

[Touch 3G General] DaM79:
There is a delay between incoming call and actually the phone ringing. Did you notice that as well? I asked my callers already several times how many rings they have heared. Normally 2, and I only heared one. So?

As well there is a small delay between picking up and actually being able to speak... Did you notice this as well?
[Touch 3G General] zafarwm:
i'm facing the same problem
[Touch 3G General] DaM79:
Thx for your feedback. So now the question is if there is any reg-hack to speed this up. :confused:
[Touch 3G General] uterrorista:
I noticed that too.

But if you pay attention, there is a low ring in the background. Make a test in a zero noise environment..
[Touch 3G General] DaM79:
@uterrorista, low-ring? pretty usefull, ha? :-)

@all, pushing up the topic.

pretty bad, if the "waking up" process takes that long so the caller already got something like 3-4 rings until I hear the first ring...

any idea?
[Touch 3G General] Carty:
Upgrading your Radio should mostly solve this problem. And always try to have your ringtones in main memory rather than storage cards because power to sd card cuts of in standby mode and may take some time to return after awaken by a call.

Regards,

Carty..
[Touch 3G General] nicodbgh:
With the new radio occurs the same.
[Touch 3G General] ruiz64:
Incoming call delay

This may help....

Somethings to consider:

1- I would say the actual ring signal is not always synchronized with the ring back tone we heard. The may come from different system within a complex telecom network. Therefore, some delay is expected as normal functionality in all telephone systems (Fix and mobile ones). What you hear when calling is send by the phone systems you are connected too (i. e. fix phone line of your provider central office systems). What makes your phone ringing is a command (teleco-protocol) sent by the system you are registered-in) So, we do not expect a ring to ring back sync any way.

2- To the previous fact, we should add the wake-up time, ringing tone search and play back as well as picture and info shown on display, call execution inner in the process on your JADE. You may minimize a bit these things, but I would say only a bit if you have the device always awake (battery waste) and your ringing tones are in the main memory.

3- if your phone does not give you radio problem, please do not upgrade it. You may run in problems you did not have before and it will void your warranty.

4- We can go further and add our ear and brain response time.

5- The time that comes for the call to go to diver destination or voice mail, counts from the moment that your phone is seized by your host public system and not from the moment the caller hear the first ring back tone.

Conclusion:

I do not see a real problem as far as it does not go over two ring back tones.
[Touch 3G General] cPT.cAPSLOCK:
A lot of ringtones are silent about 1 second before they actually start (just like some songs and stuff). That might be your problem?
[Touch 3G General] nicodbgh:
No, it isnt. Mine is the dafault tone.

If the jade is near a pc monitor, the monitor starts to make interferences two or three seconds before the screen lights up and the tone starts ringing.
[Touch 3G General] DaM79:
yesterday it rang 1x and my caller said he heared the ringtone on his side of the line 5x!!!! wtf!?!?

what can we do to fix this?
[Touch 3G General] Raghav_K:
Hello my radio version is 0.27.30.09 (from stock)

I too had a 3 ring call delay, i installed jademan superrom (which did not update the radio version , it's still the old one) and somehow the call delay vanished...

Or u can try the reg tweak to set the ring script to "av1pr" using sktools... works well for me..

hope that helps
[Touch 3G General] nicodbgh:
Can explain the sk-tweak please?
[Touch 3G General] Raghav_K:
Sure :d

install the latest sktools, Choose tuneup < phone edition < ring script and typr av1pr... which gives u a very short vibrate and ring... (which fits me cos the ring volume isn't very high and i dont wanna miss calls in noisy areas.. U can see help to modify the script to ur needs)

or if u prefer editing registry, use a registry editor to go to HKCU/ControlPanel/Sounds/Ringtone0/script and change the REG_SZ value to av1pr ;)
[Touch 3G General] fsamoggia:
annoying incoming call delay

Hi,

i have changed the registry script as people say but no difference. And that's no surprise as if you read the script letter by letter "av1pr" means activate device/vibrate/play ringtone/repeat. The original script "apw3r" again means "activate the phone/play rington/wait 3 seconds/repeat". So the 3 seconds delay happens AFTER the phone plays the ringtone the first time.

However, the activation(with activation I mean to wake up the phone from standby) actually happens always on the beginning of the second ring. I have another phone and I have done few tests calling the jade so I am sure of what I am saying.

By the way, I dont know if you noticed but changing the ringtone changes the script back to the original one. But it doesnt really matter given that this tweak doesnt make any difference.

I have to say instead that disabling the skin dialer allowed me to gain 1 second, and now the phone activates just before the second ring. So I believe that the solution should be found somewhere else and not in the script that everyone keeps talking about.

I think I have read that the superrom doesnt have this problem(jade rom development in this section). What did it change in there? why it doesnt show that?

Any help appreciated :)

Franco
[Touch 3G General] Raghav_K:
Actually av1pr means activate & vibrate 1 sec & Ring

apw3r means activate & wait 3 sec and play ringtone ;)

I used to get the caller screen and no ring till 3 sec till i changed that.... i know it resets everytime after u change rt but no prob for me cos i don change RT often and sktools has an easy way of changing it ;)

And i need it to vibrate for 1 sec coz ring volume is a bit low in htc phones..

PS: i'm using superrom too :D
[Touch 3G General] fsamoggia:
well, the phone follows the sequence of commands so if it is:

apw3r

the phone will a=activate, then p=play ringtone, w3=wait 3 seconds, r=repeat sequence.

So the 3 seconds delay is after the first time the rt is played.

But I have the same initial delay with both scripts :( it does p**s me off really! :(

have you tried to use another phone to call your jade with the superrom? how long does it take to play the tone?
[Touch 3G General] Raghav_K:
well i have tried and my jade starts vibrating by the time the first ring ends( in the phone from which i'm calling)

can u try the decrease ring delay tweak in the mighty enhancements section of this link and see if it works :)

http://triton.homeip.net/RegistryChanger/
[Touch 3G General] boggle:
My own experience is that SuperROM made absolutely no difference at all, neither does hacking the ringtone script (as other have said, the "delay" is after the ringtone has started anyway).

What did make a difference in both the stock & superrom firmware was to disable the HTC dialer skin and revert to the WM6.1 caller id bubble. This reduced the average delay to about 1 second. The other variable is whether the phone is in full suspend mode or awake - my phone certainly takes longer to activate from full suspend mode (full suspend being suspend on battery).

Haven't tried the new HTC stock ROM yet, maybe this improves things? I think it will take some changes to the low-level drivers to improve on the 1 second wake-up with WM6.1 dialer (these may be in the new stock ROM, all of the cooked ROMs use low-level drivers from the original stock ROM so will all be the same in this respect).
[Touch 3G General] fsamoggia:
Absolutely no difference whatsover. Again, the only improvement I can get is when I disable the dialer skin and use the wm default one. Then it rings just before hearing the second tone on the calling line.

To be honest I am not surprised, the registry key that is changed is:

HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\RingPreview\InitVol

which clearly refers to a volume level and not to a time delay...??
[Touch 3G General] Raghav_K:
argh....

Are u using s2u2 perhaps?? i had problems when i installed it, enabled it's caller id, and then i un installed it... got a 4 sec delay??

If nothing works, jus flash to jademan superrom.. he said he'z gonna release a nw ver with that new 2.32 rom :D
