Is there not a small watch size battery in these devices - Perhaps it needs replacing?

See picture I included at the bottom of the device. I got this picture from the complete disasembly guide in the elf forum.

I knew about people who used the refrigerator to overclock their PCs, but this thing you're doing is amazing! :D:D
[Touch GSM General] Tr0cken:
I used a small box with ice when I connected it to the PC for rom updating, perhaps I should carry that box. I know it sounds bizarre but it works fine when refrigerated!

I disconnected that battery and it works just the same without it!

Any more ideas on how to fix this Elf?
[Touch GSM General] crapula512:
try booting into windows and looking at the cpu speed, if it is normal lower it to the minimum and see if it hangs then.

eitherway, u must try reflashing everypiece of firmware, especially the radio firmware before giving up. (yeah, u might have to put ur laptop in the fridge with the phone ;) )
[Touch GSM General] chrisque1:
:)

Try lowering the clock speed with and Overclocking tool. Homescreen ++ gives u temp report. With that u can know if the temp is the real problem.

Liquid Nitrogen is the answer

Fix a fan on it

Haha, how about fixing a computer fan at the back of the pocket pc, it needs cooling.:)

Maybe the temperature sensor of the ppc has been spoilt, reporting the wrong data to the brain, thus the ppc restarts.
[Touch GSM General] Tr0cken:
Ok, finally my Elf is working with no crashes at all outside the fridge! I found the solution in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=476152.

Thanks to Firestarter42 for the tip and okti for the mini-tutorial. I think that info should be in Elf's Wiki page.

However! I've got another problem... I've attached a screenshot. Any ideas?
[Touch GSM General] hazeline:
Orh, is it because there has been short circuit between the omap processor and the metal covering? Thus we have to put a piece of plastic between them?:confused:
[Touch GSM General] Tr0cken:
I think it's just bad contact, so making pressure keeps it going.
[Touch GSM General] crapula512:
weird, how is it possible that the problem gets resolved by putting the phone in the fridge or by using that plastic spacer??

its pretty strange indeed cuz the fridge solution only has a colding effect while the plastic spacer should have warmer effect (or no thermal effect in the best case).

anyway, good to know that u could fixed it.
[Touch GSM General] Tr0cken:
It's weird indeed! But it's been a couple of days now and no problems at all.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pokevitek:
Hi. So it it some time since Diamond is in our pockets. Thanks to this community we have fast ROMs, we can play smooth VGA video, and we have good battery time and wi-fi,GPS,GPRS,EDGE,UMTS reception. And, we CAN use hardware 3D accelerator. So, what we made, what some amazing people here made is a damn progress!

So, I think there is only one thing to solve - Camera.

Well all know, that Diamond has WM devices normal quality camera. But, there is big problem - speed. In dark areas, camera is almost unusable, and video record has about 5 FPS. And this is very bad.

I am not developer, in fact I am interested in HW function only. Yes, I have some basics of assembler and C++, but very little, just enough to understand the HW. So, is there anybody with some idea, how to bring some speed into our cameras? Or at least some Xperia features like VGA record or 25FPS? I think there has to be a way. You poeple have done amazing things that even HTC screwed. I would like to help, but as I said, I am not the right person. But for some ideas or registry tweaks or testing my Diamond and my free time is ready.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] zigster:
Hi Forum,

well the Diamond (Touch) Pro's internal GPS device isn't really good.

Therefore I wanted to use my other Bluetooth device for Navigational Tools.

Pairing the external BT GPS and setting it to Com: 2 wasn't a problem and I can read the data when accessing the port directly on Com: 2.

But I use a few tools that use the Parsed Driver (GPS Intermediate Driver).

So I tried to set the "External GPS" Utility to:

(1st Page)

GPS Program Port: Com 1

(2nd Page)

GPS Hardware Port: Com 2 (as set in Bluetooth settings for the external BT GPS device)

(3rd Page)

Autmatic management: Ticked

But whatever I set on the second page is REVERTED to

GPS Hardware Port:NONE

after clicking OK.

Does anyone know how to manually set my external Bluetooth GPS device as the source for the GPS Intermediate driver ?

And / Or:

How can the internal GPS be turned totally off ?

Any help an that behalf is very much appreciated!!

Regards

Zigster

PS: I translated that GPS description part from my German O2 branded "Diamond Pro", so it might not be totally the same in an English version.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Operation619:
When you say the internal GPS isn't very good, what do you mean? How are you attempting to acquire GPS? In what conditions? Inside? Outside?

In my experience so far with the Raphael, the GPS is pretty good for an embedded device. Will it be as good as a well designed stand-alone receiver? No. But for most navigation I find it to be good enough.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] zigster:
... well the point is, that want to use an external Bluetooth device as an Input source for the GPS Intermediate driver and not the internal GPS device.

The reasons why are somewhat irrelevant, but here are mine:

The internal GPS receiver

1) is laggy (despite all the helpful tips I already tried)

and

2) it is not very sensitive (no indoor reception)

My external BT GPS Receiver (iBT-GPS) is much more accurate (!!!) and very sensitive (Indoor reception) and sometimes it comes in handy to put the reciever into another spot than the phone.

And I can set that device to 5Hz Refresh, if needed.

So :-) thanks for any help !!

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] zigster:
Hi Forum,

there is a solution for the above problem, but with a sting:

It seems, that the fix produces a heavy cpu load on the diamond or on it's comm port, since the diamond is much less responsive even though CPU load sticks around 40-50 % (which is rather normal).

Here is what I did from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=293548 :

To enable this, your smartphone must be application unlocked! (i.e. modify the registration settings)

First setup a comm port for your Bluetooth GPS devices as usual:

Start/Settings/Connections/Bluetooth.

Make sure Bluetooth is set to "On".

Menu/Devices

Menu/New

Select your GPS device from the list and press Next.

Enter the passkey for the Bluetooth GPS.

Next

You should get a message box saying "Your Smartphone has connected".

NOTE: It is important to remember the name of you Bluetooth GPS receiver that was added. Let’s call this variable GPSNAME.

OK

Next

Check the "Serial port" checkbox.

Done

Done

Menu/COM Ports

Select your GPS.

Menu/New Outgoing Port.

Select your device and press Select.

You will see a COM port that has been chosen for your GPS. For example, COM6.

Done

Done

Done

Now your GPS is set up on COM6.

Next setup the GPS Intermediate Driver environment using a registry editor:

Start > File Explorer > Up > Program Files > RegEdit

Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver]

Select Values > Menu > New Value> DWORD "IsEnabled"=1

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers]

Select > Menu > New Key > GPSNAME

Values > Menu > New Value> DWORD" CurrentDriver=GPSNAME"

Back > Select GPSNAME

Select Values > Menu > New Value> String CommPort=COM6: <------ COMM PORT SETUP ABOVE Done

Select Values > Menu > New Value> String FriendlyName=GPSNAME

Select Values > Menu > New Value> String InterfaceType=COMM

Restart your phone, launch GMM and start the GPS function.

Google Mobile Maps with work now with an external Bluetooth GPS receiver.

Hope to see some comments from you folks ;-)

Greetings

Zigster
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] NuShrike:
Attached is the registry file I created to get it to work for my Qstarz BT-1000X.

Customize the registry file for the device's name and the comm port you set up in the Bluetooth setup as described in zigster's post.

Seems WM's External GPS is either broken, or ODM locked. Use CamerAware Buddy to restart the GPS Intermediate Driver, and voila.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] willr001:
I was having the same trouble, also thought i was having trouble with the bluetooth device list showing the GPS device as disconnected, but that's just because it wasn't in use (or just the way COM BT devs work).

This fix worked, and was easy as heck to apply thanks to the EXE here: Link to thread

I was a little nervous because it was so old and for a different device, but it worked a trick.

Now windows is managing the external bluetooth like it should, and programs seem to connect no problem.

Before, i could set the hardware ports myself in google or tomtom, but if i let windows manage it, it would always use the internal GPS. Now it works great.

Thanks,

Mortscript to install GPS intermediate driver

Here is a mortscript to install GPS intermediate driver over com port and also select which driver to use (installed ones or original one).

It's my first try to script with mortscript, so you better do a backup of the

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\ registry key before trying it.

It also create a registry key:

HKLM\Software\GPSDeviceSelector

where it stores a list of script installed drivers and the orginal "CurrentDriver" value. (CurrentDriver value when the script was run for the first time).

To install intermediate driver you will need to know the exact name of the device as stated in the bluetooth setting, the com port used by the device (also visible in bluetooth settings) and the baud rate of the com port which should be stated somewhere in your GPS device manual.

I did for my HTC HD2 and it works good on that device with the Qstarz Q-1000EX bluetooth GPS.

You will, of course need to install mortscript 4.1 for the script to work:

Feedback welcome!

Having gotten no help from HTC im posting this here (previously sent as a support request to HTC)

Afther having set a device password (Settings > Personel > Lock) I'm unable to enable the Key Lock. I checked the following settings:

- Settings, Long Press End Key is set to Automatically Execute: Lock Device

- Settings, Key Lock is set to Lock all buttons except Power button.

I get no error messages, the only thing I see when holding the End Key is a short flicker of the screen, after which the Home Screen comes up. Do note that the keys are not appropriately locked.

ROM version installed is latest HTC original ROM:

_HTC Touch Diamond_MR_RUU_Diamond_HTC_NOR_2.03.409.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship

So far all i have gotten from HTC is the following response:

Don't know if it's just an automated respons or they just can't be bothered to give a sane message.

1) Why are they refering to Touch HD when I clearly stated that it was the Diamond i was refering to

2) They can't seriously expect anybody to belive that it works as intended and you aren't supposed to be able to lock you phone when you have set up a device password

Does anybody have a fix or any experience with how to get though to HTC?

Hi Guys,

I'm sure I've seen a program mentioned on here where you connect your X1 via USB, and something pops up on the X1 screen to ask if you want just a simple USB mass storage device connection, or an active sync one. I've tried the forum search but I'm not turning anything up. Can someone tell me the name of this app?

Thanks,

[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
You don't have to search xda-devs to solve this,

[XPERIA X1 General] tifosi256:
Ah yes, I was aware of that. But I'm sure there was talk of an app on here which popped up on the X1 screen each time you plugged a USB cable in. I'm lazy so anything that saves a few button presses is good in my book :)
[XPERIA X1 General] ipporek:
You mean the USBtoPC popup? Well, so far no one's done a cab for that for the X1.
[XPERIA X1 General] tifosi256:
Ah, that's the one! Hmm, I hadn't realised there was no cab for it. Oh well. I guess I'll go through the settings then. Thanks for the information.
[XPERIA X1 General] Dandie:
I tried it with the existing cab for the Touch Pro in this forum and my impression is that the popup doesn't support WVGA and therefore won't even display.
[XPERIA X1 General] gtrab:
Yes I tyhink there's a cab and even more: that feature is already included in several cooked ROMs

May I suggest you to search the ROM-development forums for it

:rolleyes:

.
[XPERIA X1 General] ipporek:
Ya, the feature is in some of the cooked ROMs, but thing is no one did a cab for it. So unless you install one of those cooked ROMs.
[XPERIA X1 General] Giland:
I guese all we can do is wait, for someone to make a cab for it.
[XPERIA X1 General] ipporek:
Hopefully itje or Daran would do one. Had tried asking but so far no response.
[XPERIA X1 General] Fr@:
Yes, it is included, but it doesn't work... at least on my X1i...
[XPERIA X1 General] smaberg:
well i can do a cab for you, but the popup messes up the x1, as active sync would have problem, and some features wont work, the x1 and touch HD witch the app came from has different drivers and approach for the usb popup menu. so i cant recomend it.

PS. read in the rom section as many, many and many want this feauture, but all it does is create problems.

so i wont do a cab for it aslong as the problems remain.
[XPERIA X1 General] Invisible Sense:
Try this cab.

It worked on my X1 but the popup seemed a bit messy.

[XPERIA X1 General] ipporek:
Problems? As in the USB to PC itself in X1 is different from those in the HTC phones and so there are problem?

Heya, So,

I got my HD the other day. Ive installed alot of .cabs for apperences and utilitys etc.

Now I've been reading about Duttys HD 1.7 ROM and I was wondering what difference it was to the stock one. Other then some things has been removed.

Is it faster? Is it more reliable? Does it have things the stock one lacks?

Ive been reading exactly every thread about this and I haven't found the answer if its worth removing the warranty for a cooked ROM.

All creds to Dutty and the rest of you for doing such an awesome job. Dont get me wrong, not questioning your products but the usefullness.

Again, not throwing gravel in ur eyes dutty, its what ive heard, I have no exp. with your rom WHAT SO EVER.

Thanks for the responses guys!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
Normally custom cooked roms are faster, as they are some performance tweaks included. I don't know about Dutty's rom, but I can't imagine that it is slower

My own cooked rom is just fast and stable, and I haven't included anything I don't need. Thats the main reason why I'm cooking own roms.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] SomethingWicked:
i believe the topic of the messages he's refering to is improper memory management when performance tweaks are used. i've read many times that larger page pools, etc... are harder on the mrmory manager. the answer? power off or soft reset once a day. there... problem solved. i personally dont restart my hd but about once a week and i dont notice any slowdown. i believe those that do are those that moniter memory usage several times a day. think about it: if your on a diet, will you lose weight faster if you look at the bathroom scales 5 times a day or once a week?
