No SDHC Support

I just did a hard reset because of this messege Center Crash problem on my NRG ROSE ROM v1.7 problem. Now, my phone won't read my 8gig micro sd card.

It used to work before i did the hard reset!

Could someone help me out? I tried searching the forums but , no dice.
[HTC Excalibur] timothyjok:
Apparently a hard reset is not the answer as I have the same issue that wasn't resolved by the reset. I think it has something to do with the storage card

I would like to be able to use the HTC 3125 as a phone only on AT&T - no sms, mms, texting, internet, or other data.

I have not been able to find a good way to "block" data and do not want to have accidental data, texting or other unexpected charges.

I have heard that if I call AT&T, I can request a block, but the rep I spoke to wouldn't do this and said that if I have this type of device, I have to have a data plan.

This is for my wife to replace her old nokia basic phone - she doesn't want any fancy options, but this flip phone would be ok.

Can anyone help me to make sure the device will not initiate or receive data?

Thank you very much :)
[HTC Startrek] lewnetoons:
call att

call att again and tell them you want texting blocked, whoever you talked to was mistaken, after the text is blocked, go to your connection setting and remove your data connection, you will then, not be able to text or use data
[HTC Startrek] Airbrushed:
Thank You!

I appreciate your response. I will call AT&T again.

Thanks again!

Go to settings > connections > connections > advanced > select networks. There you change the "programs that automatically connect to the internet" to "My Work Network". That will disable any automatic internet dialing.

Hi folks..

I've been having some problems with my 1 yr plus Tytn II...

Intermittently it will have no network issue. Once I go Comms Panel and OFF and ON the phone, network is fine.

But this will happen a few times, no matter if I'm outside the house or at home and

it will happen even if I leave it alone.

Also at times after a soft reset, it will says no SIM card detected.

I've tried to clean the SIM card with those rubber eraser, inserting a piece of paper on the back side of the SIM card, to no avail.

If I'm lucky it detects the SIM card.

I've tried using my sister's spare SIM card, same problems.

Any1 encountered before?

If repaired, would it cost a bomb? My warranty already over.

Or is it time for me to replace the tytn? *sigh*

I did search for no network, but think mostly it's the 3G networks having problems in some parts of the world.

Mine will intermittently have no network in 3G or not.

Thanks in advance for any inputs.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] WillardZ:
Check for dust/dirt around the contact area of the SIM and the slot contacts. Press lightly on the silver metal that crosses over the SIM slot to insure it is tight enough to insure good contact with the card.

Hope that helps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] oriki:
Hi there...

yup I've cleaned and blown the sim card area.

also place a piece of paper behind the sim card.

:(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kaiserII101:
erm why would you place a piece of paper behind the SIM card and why would you clean it with a eraser(should use a cotton rag or your shirt[NOT a washcloth they can scratch it]) by now the SIM shouldn't work in any phone and paper would stop the contact between the SIM and the SIM slot
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] souskei:
i had the same problem some time ago...

the way i fixed it was with tape on the back of the sim card..

i know you tried paper but how much paper?

when i first put tape i would put a layer.. then nothing ... then another layer..

then nothing..

i finally got to the point where i almost broke the litle metal thing that hold the sim card in place.. but it finally worked..

i guess just hard presure fixed my phone not reading my sim..

jus my 2 cents :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] WillardZ:
I hope you put the paper between the medal strip and the SIM, not under the SIM where the contacts are. If the SIM does not feel snug in the slot, remove the SIM and press down on the matal strip just a bit to tighten it. Also look carefully to see that the SIM is inserted correctly. The cut off corner does not go in first. Look carefully and you will find an illustration on the outside of the cover.

Hope that helps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
That's good value for money advice!:) There are posts here that mention about issues with sim connection on Tilt Specific versions of the Kaiser (although there's nothing in the Tilt specific wiki about it). As long as the paper/tape is on the back (non-contact) side and is used to push the sim closer to the contacts, it should help. If there's any chance the o/p can still return it under warranty, then try and do so. Warranties aren't hard and fast and if something fails very close to the end of the warranty period, many companies will still consider repairing it, especially if it's a 'known issue' that's cropped up. If the o/p spends some time doing a seach, I'm sure more details will come up. From what I recall reading, Kaisers other than the Tilt aren't affected and I've certainly had no such problems with my HTC branded device.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] oriki:
yup, I did a search and mostly was recommended to use the paper thingy.

will probably call up the HTC service centre and ask how much it would cost to repair it.

I had to lose my tytn haha. now having withdrawal symptoms using a simple nokia hp.

yup... the SIM card orientation is correct and it's tight hehe

will try that... I did put till it was very tight to remove the paper and SIM card..

I figured it might be the SIM contact problem, hence the paper on the sim card.

the sim card is working well with my spare nokia hp though.

thanks all for the tips & infos!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mycell:
Thank you all very much. This just happened to me and I was able to resolve with the paper behind the sim card. A real life saver since my tilt is now 14 mos old and out of warranty.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] oriki:
I totally forgot abt this thread...

mine was repaired for SGD 150, including the diagnostic fee since it's out of warranty...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ppcold:
No Sim card detected

I had the same issue with an 18 month Tilt. HTC quote was $124 US as diagnostic fee and over $300 if the board needed replacement. The shim to the back of the card was not working. Bought a new HTC brand SIM card reader from ebay for $24 US including S&H. All is well.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] oriki:
was it easy to DIY?

and I tot repairs here in singapore are expensive hehe
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] weasel5i2:
Some rubber erasers contain a small amount of ground pumice, for the sole purpose of scratching the top layer of paper when you use it to correct a mistake (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eraser#Types).. Using a rag or shirt alone will not remove any oxidation from the surface of the contacts, although if they are gold-plated they should be resistant to oxidizing anyway..

I just had the same problem today with my SIM card. So far, paper hasn't helped. (I stuck 3 layers of white adhesive binder label on the back of the SIM, and trimmed around it w/scissors) -- still no luck.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
Exactly so I think rather than using a potentially abrasive eraser, it'd be best to use a specialist contact cleaner (designed just for such things) applied to a cotton bud and rubbed against the sim holder contacts and then the sim itself. It seems to me that as long as the contacting surface is spotlessly clean then packing the SIM closer to the contacts with pieces of paper behind it, shouldn't be necessary (even though it may help). A small aerosol can of contact cleaner is cheap enough and it can also be used for battery contact cleaning every few months (something it pays to do with a TyTN II in my experience).

Touch wood, my phone is still going strong as far as the sim connectivity is concerned but then its probably only ever endured 20 or so sim removals and refitments in its whole existance - maybe those experiencing problems are predominantly frequent sim removers or changers?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bravacudda:
The Fix- its the simm cover microswitch

I may be that the reason many are getting different results, is that your tackling the wrong area of the ph as the problem. I just fixed my TYTN ll using this solution by Tilt Fanatic -Fix for No Sim Detection Problem!-

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11199595#post11199595

He figured out that its source is the simm cover latch and the micoswitch that it catches on underneath. Over time this ability to catch onto microswitch, degrades so "the problem is that the outside switch is not fully catching the inside one, which is why the sim isn't being detected". Thus for many people the constant insert and closing of the simm cover inadvertantly fixes the problem. Not the deoxidizing or cleaning contacts with a rubber etc. Try it. Use something to press the inner mico switch hard up while turning on the phone. It was an instant fix for my ph, showing it was the correct source of the problem of "no simm card present". Thanks to Tilt Fanatic correctly identifying it.

I had upgrade my xda atom to WM6 ,but it do not synchronizeto my PC, can any one tell me how to solve this problem ?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] RoryB:
One possibility.

Look under settings - connections - USB to PC and uncheck "Enable advanced network functionality"

This is the only way I can get one of my computers to sync, the other ones work fine with it checked.

Is it possible to replace the default music player of the HTC Blackstone ( HD ) by COREPLAYER and how?

I just want to execute coreplayer when i clic on the tf3d musicplayer.

[Touch HD General] hungabunga:
I am a bit confused so hoping somebody can help me out, I have updated to davideuck V3 rom and I know that the ROM only runs activesync when required. I have also read in a few threads that activesync does something with email and it may be the cause of my problem.

Basically before I updated from stock rom my email was set to sync every 30mins which it did as long as it is not in standby,so if I used the phone after one hour this caused the emails to sync as the phone is out of standby. Now the only way is to manually go in and click send/recieve.

I would love to get it working even in standby but want atleast to get it to check when phone is active.

One other thing I have noticed is that when I click email there are 3 email envolopes even though I only have 2 accounts setup, clicking the first envolope does nothing the other toggle between my 2 accounts.

<little rant>I am a bit dissappointed with the phone as it seems like a mega task for it to do basic things like my n95 would do. Hope HTC or MS pull their finger out and fix some of the basic functions. </little rant>

Thanks in advance

Just spoted it on some other site ;)

It's an alfa version - use at own risk :)

Some of the cons are listed below :

* Lacks stability

* 23MB Install

* Installs into the Games folder

* The keyboard does not automatically pop-up

* And the default is to load the mobile version of the website (not the full version)

Dear garymeg

Thank you so much for your fast replay

any way finally i toke the risk to flash my Daimond with HSPL and i flashed it back to the stock SPL and it`s working fine now, but i am wondering whey there is no USPL as Trinty and Blackstone

thank you again
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] losdrivare:
AFAIK, USPL and HardSPL is not the same thing so the question is valid.

Although I think the only answer to why there is no USPL for Diamond is that no-one has made any. At least yet and AFAIK.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] counterfitninja:
Im interested to hear why USPL have not been written for diamond. Its was out a hiwle ago for the blackstone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
USPL follows the author who made it. He had a Trinity and now he's moved to the Blackstone. USPL option basically is scarce because I believe there is only 1 guy that knows how to do it.

Forgot he's name....

[Touch HD General] dasfliege:
since a few weeks, i've got a very strange problem with my blackstone.

when i connect the usb cable to my phone and the pc, it don't asks me anymore wether i want to connect it as a harddisk drive or do active sync. it's also impossible to do active sync by usb since this moment. i already tried everything in the blackstone USB2PC settings, like disabling fast synchronising, deactive/active the USB2PC pop-up and so on...

what i found out yesterday is the following:

because i did a hard reset, i didn't had any contacts on my phone, so i tried to active sync over bluetooth. that worked perfectly and after the synchronizing was finished, the USB connection worked again, but only for a few minutes. afterwards i had the same problem again. nothing happened when i connected the USB cable. i was able to do the same thing again: synchronize by bluetooth, connect USB cable and it worked again for a few minutes. unfortunately i wasn't able to flash hardspl during this time period. it found the phones bootloader version, but when i wanted to start the flashing process, it said that it can't estalish a connection to the phone (tricolo bottsreen has been started and progressbar was visible, but on 0%)

i also tried it on 3 different pc's with 2 different USB cables...

normaly i would say now, that my blackstone has a defect due to the fact that i did a hard reset and it's still not working, but how is it possible that it works for a few minutes after synchonizing by bluetooth?

does anyone has an idea??? i don't want to give away my lovely blackstone for warranty :)

btw. is there any possibility to flash a new rom without using the usb cable? even with the soft spl method i've found, you have to use the cable even if the rom itself is flashed from the sd card...

Using the stock ROM 1.14, never ever flashed a ROM. However, for a few days, I have been unable to connect my Blackstone with Windows Mobile Center (OS = Windows Vista SP1), it just fails with an (unspecified) error. I can only connect my device as a disk drive, not via ActiveSync anymore. It used to work before.

I am currently investigating whether or not the recent firewall upgrade (to Norton 360 3.0) on my computer may be the root of the problem. I'll keep you informed...

EDIT: performed an uninstall of the Windows Mobile Device Center, restarted the computer, re-installed the WMDC using the HTC CD provided with my Blackstone -> voilà, it works again :D

EDIT2: probably my problem was not related with the ones described here above, but who knows, maybe it will help others ...

I already have Blackstone. Maybe You already checked Settings\Connections\USB to PC location. There is "Ask me first about USB connection type...". If my understaning is good then here must be this checkbox set to checked.

Second thing for those users who cannot use syncing only : I had and antivirus program and it has personal firewall. When I turned OFF antivirus protection and the firewall protection then the Windows Modile Device Center start working without any problems with Active sync in my phone.

But if I use the phone as a modem for Internet, my blackstone connects without problem through cable.

Wich is the mystery?
[Touch HD General] gtdor:
I solved the problem. It seems that the ROM version was the problem for me:

ROM: BS_Cloudy_1.9

RADIO: 1.14.25.24

Manila: 2.5.20121225.2

I solved using "Clear Storage." After reset, reverting to original settings (original settings actually were, because I put this ROM only for two days), I was able to connect to the PC and was able to flesh another ROM

I hope that this ROM is more stable.
