Hi there all,

I am pretty inept when it comes to this technology business so I was wondering if anyone has had experience with this or like this and if so could help me to figure out what went wrong, why and how to fix it a bit easier than formatting the card and hard resetting to reload/reinstall everything... sigh...

So I was just moving some files across to my sd card on my phone when it received a text and when the text was received the folder I was moving the files into all of a sudden had a load of extra folders with weird character combinations (some Chinese characters (not the weird bit) and some of those "forbidden" symbols)... I tried to delete them (about 56 of them) but I was not allowed... I tried to delete them by plugging the phone into the laptop again, still would not let me (this was when I found out you cant name a folder with certain symbols... if only it was me!) and I finally took the card from the phone and tried to access it via the sd card slot on my laptop... could not scan it but could open it... and when I tried to analyse it with computer management it would not go past the folder that this happened to and told me I had a corrupt folder... sigh, so the only thing I could do to get rid of all these extra mystery folders was to format the card using the cmd prompt... that worked thank goodness but I have had to spend all evening reinstalling and reloading everything... what fun... still at least its given me a clean slate so to speak... sorry for the long winded post... any ideas as to what happened?

many thanks
[XPERIA X1 General] Mr Anderson:
Consider yourself lucky - relatively. ;)

My Xperia toasted a 16GB card to the point where it is totally inaccessible by any explorer system, either on the phone or a PC. Even the format command via command prompt fails (but thanks for that idea).

My replacement card is suffering too - I run Pocket Mechanic's scandisk utility regularly (once bitten, twice shy), and a couple of times now I have had a FAT table mismatch. Thankfully I've been able to copy all the files & folders off the card, reformat it and load the data back on again.

I'm also wondering what is causing these errors. In all my years of PDAs I have never known anything like it - the instability of WM and my Xperia is really disappointing.
[XPERIA X1 General] minglee:
I had this problem a few weeks ago . I guessed it was caused by a Chinese program which generated folders repeatedly by accident. Luckly, I could format the 16G SD card and restored all files.
[XPERIA X1 General] jbf5333:
Had Same problem

except it did not happen when receiving a text. I researched a bucn and stumbled across this http://www.datarestore4dummies.com/Index.html. I Purchased the data recovery software metioned on this website, Data doctor recovery. If you cannot get your card reader to read the card you will also need the cardexport software mentioned in the website referenced above. It worked perfectly. You can try the Data doctor recovery software for free to see if it can fix anything on your card but it will not restore anything until you purchase it. You will have to rescan which will take awhile, again.

on another note I have started backing up my storage card using cardexport (it basically makes your storage card while still in your phone look like an external drive) and a free microsoft tool called synctoy.

hope this helps
[XPERIA X1 General] Shadowdh:
Jbf5333 thanks for the info re the apps that can help I will look into these just in case... cheers
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ronzinio:
So I was attempting to replace the LCD on my Kaiser after it cracked in the summer. Was able to take apart the screws no problem until I got to the screw which held down the PCB for the Jog Wheel. I managed to round off that screw head!

I left it for about 6 months thinking what to do with it, then in a bout of madness, prized the whole PCB off the board.

Does anybody know who sell HTC Tytn II parts? I need the mini PCB that broke.

Please see the 2 images below.

Any help is much greatly appreciated.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gazzacbr:
sorry ronzinio, cant help you, but i am at the same stage with the rounded screw :(

i have a whole new case waiting to fit after my phone slid along the pavement and scratched the front cover. i have 2 choices now, drill the head of the screw off, but then i would have to get the screw stub out and replace it, or break the casing from around the thumbwheel until i can remove the assembley and then hopefully get the two pieces apart.

any other suggestions anyone????????
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fone_fanatic:
If the screw head was stripped, i would suggest using a screw thats a size bigger, (sometimes even a flat head) and just make sure its firmly pressed against the screw when you attempt to unscrew it.

I dont know about small screws as the ones in phones, but i've had to use extractor sets to get out stripped engine bolts. Go to your local electronics repair shop and seek some advice there.

as for ronzinio, check out cnn.cn, i can't remember if they had the jog wheel or not but they have some components of htc devices (my internet is running like crap and its taking the site forever to load)

Good luck to both of you guys.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gazzacbr:
woo hoo, new case is on now, mmmmmm shiney.

decided to drill the top off the jog wheel board screw, only a few seconds. after that took whole phone apart and replaced back and front. didnt bother about the jog wheel board screw. it is held by a rubber plate and sandwiched in by the case. no movement now but did intend to put a dab of superglue on if it moves at all. few worrying moments snapping case back together but alls well now. thanks to folks on this forum for pointers to htc manual and russian site for dismantling pics. one happy bunny here :)
[General Questions and Answers] XavierGr:
I am fighting for some hours for this one on the device and searching google/xda but I don't seem to be able to solve it alone.

I want to execute an application when I press the bluetooth button. (OR) Find a voice dialing utility that supports bluetooth voice dialing with voice tags.

My current setup works okay for MSVC with bluetooth. Whenever I press the bluetooth button MSVC pops up but it is worthless for me because my contact names are not in English so I need something with voice tags.

I've found 3 relevant registry keys but none of them worked for me:

"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway" "BTAGExtModule" = "path to a dll"

"HKLM\Sftware\OEM\VoiceCommand" "LaunchAPEnable" = "path to an executable"

"HKLM\ButtonApps\Microsoft\Voice Command" "AppFilePath" = "path to an executable" and "Parameters"

First, the Bleutooth Audio Gateway dll is mapped to one that comes with MSVC (vcbthag.dll). This particular dll will detect the bluetooth button being pressed and will lauch MSVC. Changing the aftermentioned registry keys pointing to the MSVC executable will not lauch another application when I press the button. Deleting voicecmd.exe and putting in place my executable (tricking vcbthag.dll to execute mine) doens't work at all (nothing happens).

On xda I found another Bluetooth Audio Gateway dll named BTAGExtModule.dll. Changing HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway to that dll will make all audio pass through bluetooth (where with vcbthag.dll this happens only for a couple of seconds when MSVC is active) but no application is executed when I press the bluetooth button. A mystery to me is that using this dll when I try to record something through the bluetooth mic and then try to listen to what I've recorded, playback is very fast and high (in tone) like it's been played at 10X speed (I guess a wrong sample rate is to blame for that but I don't know why).

Pressing the button to start MSVC then start an application by saying the command "Start application" doesn't work. The problem is that the bluetooth mic isn't used after the called application starts (MSVC has exited so mic and audio is returned to the device).

So is there a solution? If MSVC can detect the bluetooth button being pressed why it doesn't work with any other executable? Do I need a different Audio Gateway dll to start my own application? Why is this so difficult while devices costing 50€ can do this out of the box?

Please don't tell me to just use MSVC. It just doesn't work for non-english names. I need something with voice tags that can be executed with the bluetooth button. Of course that means that audio and microphone input should be channeled to the bluetooth headset while pressing the button.

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
if i'm not mistaken you can use Cyberon Voice SpeedDialer
[General Questions and Answers] XavierGr:
I tried that too, but the initial problem is that I can't make any program launch successfully with the bluetooth button except MSVC.

We have the same problem. For non-english name, it's very difficult to make a right call. I search for solution on internet but i only found the solution to replace Voice Dial with Voice Command. You should upgrade your firmware with a ROM version content Voice Speed Dial.

Hi Good people of XDA,

Having some spare time this evening, i thought i could indulge myself with some old flashing habit - thus i tried the wm 6.5 version from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3350560&postcount=265

And i am 100% sure i did put in the right password - and unfortunately for me i can't seem to remember the right password anymore, so i cannot get into the phone aat all. Could some one advice me on how to reset the phone or install a new rom, becasue i tried installing at fresh but active sync can't connect as expected.

Therefore i will be really greatful if some one can advice on how to get out of this nightmare.

...Please make my week end

Thanks for any advice in advance
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] harondaddy:
Follow this method for installing a new rom.

------------------------------------------------------------------

You must flash HardSPL first to be able to flash this ROM!

* More info and instruction about HardSPL!

An alternative is USPL, it doesn't change your original SPL!

* More info and instruction about USPL!

SAFEST WAY TO FLASH YOUR ROM IS THROUGH STORAGE CARD METHOD:

* Copy BLACIMG.NBH into the root dir of your Storage Card.

* Be sure to have at least 30% of charge.

* Turn off your device by using the Power Button

* Go to Boot loader mode. Push and hold Vol. Down + press Power button.

* As soon as presented the message, push Power button to start flashing or Volume Down button to cancel.

* The whole procedure will take about 3 minutes. After you finish and see the relative message, soft reset your device, you are ready.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jpmalum:
I figured it out Thanks - did a hard reset

To perform a HTC Touch HD hard reset

1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.

2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:

3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.

4. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

Well, did you solve your problem?
[General Topics] l3urton32:
Hey everybody, sorry if this is a double post but this caught my attention today.

http://www.trapcall.com

Apparently it's a new free service for AT&T and T Mobile customers. It takes advantage of the fact that the *67 prompt doesn't apply to 1-800 numbers since they are paying to take your call. It basically forwards your call to TrapCall, who id's the caller, and than they send that information to your phone. They say it takes 6 seconds for this to happen and the person on the other end just hears a normal dial tone.

Here's a link to another article about it.

Thanks

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] StevePritchard:
Follow the instructions I gave you in the post, and you will get the latest maps LEGALLY. If you want to over-install the 7.910 application afterwards, then the maps will continue to work fine (that's what I'm doing).

Downloading the maps from elsewhere is illegal, and shouldn't be discussed here.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] StevePritchard:
I'm no hypocrite.

What I find frustrating is that there are a whole bunch of "MoFos" who whinge and complain that TomTom don't look after the PDA market properly, and then rip off the software as soon as they can get their hands on it - it's only £30 to get the latest version, so it's not like it used to be when my first version cost over £100.

Is it any wonder that TomTom would rather stick to the PND market, when we don't support the products that they do release?

Hi there everyone ,

I just found out that i cant adjust the light of my dopod u1000 like before , by pressing the " light " icon key on my u1000 keyboard . When i first bought it years ago i remember it can adjust light by pressing down that key and light will go brighter until max then u press again it will dim back the light until u stop . That was with WM 5 , now it is WM 6 . Anyone can assist and tell me why ?

Appreciate your help , thanks and regards -

[XPERIA X1 General] scbond:
Has anyone come across their X1 having a screen that is fading in the top right-hand corner? it looks as if it's been pressed really hard there on mine.

I've had so many X1s now and I'm really fed-up of it, Sony Ericsson, Windows Mobile (to add to all Windows OSs really) and my operator, O2, for being the World's biggest morons. The one I got today seemed perfect for once and actually put together properly and, apart from a tiny, hardly noticeable scratch on the back cover (for which I have another cover as a spare anyway) I was pretty happy with it. The screen is really bugging me though and this is the second or third one where the screen is quite a bit worse than others have been.

I'm unsure of what to do, there's no other phones that I have any interest in and I'm sick to the teeth of O2 and this fault riddled phone too. I've only just gotten used to the fact that the illumination lights don't work properly on any X1s!
[XPERIA X1 General] Raspster:
I beleive you are referring to the white light bleeding thru in the corners? This is something simular to what happens on some monitors. I don't think it gets worse and it can only be noticed when a black background in showing in the corners when you look at a picture or play a movie.
[XPERIA X1 General] Sfkn2:

[XPERIA X1 General] jcsxda:
Called "light leakage" elsewhere

Personally its only noticeable at all with a completely black screen (like the Xperia load screen mentioned above) ...and completely invisible the rest of the time.

So I barely notice it and it doesn't bother me

Guys,

If you have no build issues like cracks, I strongly suggest you keep it. AFter a week or two of use, you'll stop noticing the light bleeding less and less. I believe I read it somewhere that you have the NGOCD or something? New Gadget Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. :P

Cheers.
[XPERIA X1 General] scbond:
Definately...I just like a new device to be perfect as it should be.

I can still notice the bleeding a bit during normal use and it's really irritating. I don't get why it's just in the right-hand corner and worse on some X1s than it is on others.

It is a flash game.

Browsers do not support flash yet (atleast advanced animation like games...).

you have to wait for a revolution from adobe's side or the release of opera turbo.

I guess that some basic flash animations could be viewed if you install flash lite for win mobile.

not sure because I have not tried it (not that interested by basic animations I want to play back flash videos :( :( :( )

There is also skyfire that uses the same techno as opera turbo (or opera is intending to use the same techno as skyfire :D), however it has no real wvga, it scales up.
