Can I use any Rom if...

I currently have a Telstra branded T8585 (HD). I purchased if as this is the only phone that supports 3G in Canada. The T8285 does not support 3G in Canada only Edge. If I upgrade the firmware to a non-branded WWE firmware or Dutty's more specifically will it affect the band settings? Will I still have 3G access? I've looked around the Wiki as well as used the search function, and I cannot find anything related to this. I'm a newb when if comes to phone rom flashing and this forum is making my head spin.

Screen Lock with Password

Hi

Apoligies if this has been asked but I've looked and cannot see such a question.

Basically if I lock my Touch HD (Settings > Lock), and then unlock it afterwards, no matter what password I use it lets me back in, yes it will say the password is wrong but still it will let me past that screen and full access to the HD.

Rom version is: HTC 1.19.61.1 WWE

Installed Programs in addition to default programs are: Tom Tom Navigator 6, Music ID, HD Tweak and IRIS browser. Current windows version is WM6.1.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

So I have a Touch HD with funny colors atm. I was told to install either a newer original rom or a custom rom. Now I want to ask wheter it's possible for me to install Miri's WM 6.5 V13 on my German HTC with WM 6.1?

[Touch HD General] mike.waters:
Hi Yags, sounds like your battery is completely dead, with the charger circuit switched off (the circuit is in the battery), which is a problem I had before with HTC designs. You can try taking it out and shorting the battery terminals for a moment with a piece of wire, and then warming it for a while (no more than 70C!), then shaking/bashing it to try and get a few more nanojoules of life out of the reaction, which will be enough to change the state of the charger circuit once power is reapplied. Most important after this treatment is NOT to insert the battery and start the 'phone, but only replace the battery in the 'phone whilst the 'phone charger is already connected, and leave the 'phone off until the orange light appears and the battery has charged for an hour or so. If all this fails, you need a new battery. However, you mention you already tried a different battery? If the second battery has charge in it (check with meter), then you must have a hardware fault somewhere, probably open circuit. In this case, you need to return for a new m/board. Hopefully is it's not working, they won't notice you flashed a new ROM! Good luck.
[Touch HD General] mike.waters:
...and now it's my turn... help!

Can any kind soul advise me why the JS Advanced Config tool v3.3 does not work on my Touch HD ? Error screen tells me it won't start as it needs a newer version of .NET.

However, I've got .NET 3.5 installed on the ROM (stock WWE 1.56.405.1), which is the latest version.

Failure to connect / detect my HD in computer

Hi, my HD phone cannot syn to my notebook (even cannot detect the usb driver), but it is ok to charge battery, what do you think of this problem?

I tried many different ways to resolve this (see as below, but never worked)

- uninstall & re-install active sync 4.5

- format my notebook (using WinXP)

- hard reset my hd

- tried differnt port, different computer (tried to detect usb).

- tried different cables

- tried different setting in PPC and notebook

- visited & questioned in different forums re this, but still not solved

Really want to upgrade my rom, but cannot detect at all, so bother me!

Also, any method to flash rom directly from storage card (I read some articles saying Diamond rom can do! but duno for HD)

Anyone can help?

Many thanks.

thanks but i still have to send it to htc

thank you for the reply, i tried but it still wont work im shipping it out to htc hopefuly they will fix it without charging me as it is still under the waranty thanks
[Touch HD General] mike.waters:
Hi Garrykwok,

Basics:

- check that you are using the original supplied mini-USB PC cable (and not the charger cable,which only has 3 connectors active.

- check start/setttings/connections/USBtoPC either Active Sync or disc drive is checked.

- connect another USB device to your same notebook port, and see if it connects properly and is recognised by your notebook.

- connect another device using the same mini-USB cable to the same port, and see if it connects.

- connect your HD to another notebook by mini-USB cable, and see if it is recognised

By this point you should have isolated the problem. Cable, HD, or notebook?

HTC Touch HD (Blackstone) - Doubts before buy it

Hi guys,

After read and watch many reviews, manuals and others, I finaly am going to buy a HTC Touch HD here in Brazil. I intend to use a GSM Tim card and the Internet throw Wi-Fi connection. I intend to use it to work, study, use the excel and have fun, of course.

This (super)smartphone hasn't been officially launched here in Brazil by HTC, I'm going to buy a foreign unlocked phone. But I still have some doubts about this product.

If my phone is unlocked, can I download the official updates from HTC website without problems or it could lock my phone again?

If my battery is full and I follow carefully all the instructions, can I install the Hard-SPL avaliable in this forum and get good results?

Is this phone resistent against falls and scratches such as iphone is?

Do you know anything about it's lifetime?

Is the cables and the USB connection resistants? Or I could have problems easily?

At moment that's all the things I'm thinking before buy this amazing product, that will be my first smart phone and I'll really apreciate your help if you can share a little of your knowledge.

PS: Sorry my english is not very good (yet).

Hi together,

Last wednesday I bought my HTC Touch HD. It's working really fine just to some little but although annyoing point. Sometimes after the screen got black I cannot turn it on again(just the display light, cause when I press one of the buttons I can feel the vibration). I do have to press multiple times on the ON/OFF button, sometimes some seconds, sometimes over a minute. Whats also strange that the screen was (rarely) sometimes turned from up to down when I got the display light on again.

Anyone know this bug and what I can do against it? (sorry for my noobishness, it's my first smartphone)

Hey guys,

I'm having problems with screen rotation. Whenever I use Opera (9.5 or 9.7) or anything else that makes use of horizontal rotation it closes out of the program. It still remains running in the background however. The screen will flip, there will be a brief pause, then it exits out. I'm using the stock ROM and mun's wallpaper for all tabs program. I've uninstalled all auto-rotation programs so it can't be any of those causing it...

Can anyone help please? :(

Does your HD has a air-space-thingy between your battery and back plate?

8285 edge only

strange problem. this is my second 8285, first one worked perfect out of the box(as it should). HSDPA in Florida. Real fast.....until i took into the pool with me in my pocket. it was toast...

bought a second one from same dealer in AUS but am unable to get anything other than EDGE speeds now. have tried every setting tweak i can think of and flashed multiple roms. even re-flashed HTC Telstra ROM but still not working.

anyone ever had or heard of this prob happening with a 8285. it really sucks since the first one was fine.

depending on the ROM installed the band settings vary but i am assuming in the auto mode the 8285 should hook up to the best band....1900/850.?!

ideas pls:confused:

[Touch HD General] mike.waters:
Hi Wizern23,

Via settings, you can select network manually in Phone settings and set to a non-3G network if there is one available. So far as I know, that is the only way to do this. You can also try playing with the GSM/WCDMA and GSM/UMTS switches on the Band tab of Phone settings. Otherwise, you have to manually turn off all of the apps that use data feeds. Good luck!
[Touch HD General] mike.waters:
Hi doogdog,

Check under Phone settings, Network, Network Selection Manual, then Find Network, and you will get a full list of available networks. Check if there is an HSPDA net. If so, the 'phone SHOULD select it, provided that the tabs in Network and Band are all set to Auto. If this doesn't work, it may be that the HSPDA net has a weaker signal, and the 'phone has defaulted to an EDGE net.

Then if you still want to set the HSPDA net, you will have to select it manually from the list. If it's not on the available networks list, it's an issue to take up with your network provider.
[Touch HD General] mike.waters:
Hi Majiso,

Yes, here is an air space behind the battery, probably to allow for battery swelling after repeat charging. I think they overdid it! And yes, it leads to annoying click when pressing on the case edge or back. Best solution is to put a couple of Post It notes on the back of the battery close to the bottom of the volume switch. That usually solves it.

Hi m4rioo,

Windows Mobile (WM) is always contained within the ROM, so the threads you need are on the Touch HD ROM development.

Latest version of WM is WM6.5 released March this year. Next will be WM7, slated for March next year (Ballmer likes to announce at the Mobile World Congress). Betas might be available on XDA in next few monts.

Latest version for Touch HD from HTC is WM6.1.

Latest version for Touch HD from XDA is WM 6.5. Thread is:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=493911&page=911. Note that this is still buggy, which is why the forum has 911 pages. Don't install it unless you know what you are doing, and be prepared to help work out the bugs. It's addictive!

Touch HD rang a number on its own!

Hi not sure if this is in the right place, (I have done a search but could not find anything similer) but earlier today i had a call from my brother who said he had just got a missed up from me on his phone. This was very strange as i had not rang him and my phone (Touch HD) was in its holder on a table, on standby, and when i checked, it had no dialed out calls listed. As far as i know this is the first time this has happened but you never know! has anybody any ideas / come accross anything like this?

Phone is stock rom, has SPB menu and HD Tweek installed.

Only anoyance so far i have found has been the keypad when dialing a number on it the number 1 has to be pressed twice (eg 01234 567890) would display the 0 corectly then pressing 1 won't display and ends with a double line of 123 on the keypad, any thoughts?

There're some programs which don't switch off the gps after using it.

On my previous mobile HTC Kaiser I saw that gps is on by LED indicator.

I accept any solution: led indicator, icon in title bar, extra program who shows the status ....

And as extra bonus, it will be nice to have only some quick program to turn off the gps.

If GPS is still running in the background, you should be able to see by pressing the top right button on the screen (Magic button) and find the program that is still running, then stop it by pressing the x.

home button showing a % battery indicator in Manila

Hi all, I have factory ROM and settings, but use quite some apps now for 8 months without ever having to reinstall my HD. Recently I noticed that when I press the home button in Manila, instead of taking me to the first tab, it will show an underlined % battery indicator in the top right corner of the screen. If I press that, a notification window will pop up - similar to a text message - and show Battery as title, with contents:

Main:...

Backup:...

Available memory:...

I have two virtual buttons: Dismiss and Battery. Dismiss will do as said, Battery is showing options like analog, percent, and memory, plus their combinations, and a Detail... option - that does nothing.
