Bought my M3100 2nd hand in June 2008, never had a problem.

Today the radio started going nuts. The phone started showing "no network connection symbols" in the top bar, most of the time.

Occasionally it did find the network (Three) and would allow me to call voicemail, but with very very bad sound quality and the odd squeaking and electric buzzing noises in the background - most of the time it dropped the call after 4-5seconds.

Quite often the phone would stall when I tried to bring up the dial pad and dial a number or tried turning off 3G//UMTS in the Comm Manager.

Getting ready to take it back to the shop I bought it from, I tried to reload an Orange rom (SPV_M3100_ROMUpdate_1007) and when that failed HTC_TyTN_WWE_3.54.255.3_6275_1.48.00.10_108. In both cases the rom upgrade failed at 12% with error 262.

I repeated flashing several times, on 2 different Windows XP computers and several different cables as well.

M3100 running TNT.19199_Professional_Hermes (before it failed)

HERM100

IPL-1.04

SPL-2.10.Olipro

Any suggestions?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
Use sd card method.

1. Format 2Gb or less sd card FAT32. Copy the .nbh file onto it and rename to hermimg.nbh.

2. Insert card and reset to bootloader.

3. If you haven't stuffed up the other steps, follow the prompts.

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] SUMM0NER:
Thanks will try that. I take it you are trying to rule out a USB problem?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] SUMM0NER:
Eureka! Install completed successfully. Thanks for the tip.

Unfortunately the phone problem persists. :confused: Any suggestions?

If not, is it possible to re-apply the Orange Sim Lock? The company I got the phone from apparently considers it grounds to void the warranty, if one unlocks a purchased phone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] SUMM0NER:
Looks like that the flashing from SD worked first time was a fluke. I have subsequently tried it again and it stalled at GSM.

Is this a physical problem with the Hermes or should I try following the corrupted radio repair guide?

Just to be clear, I haven't played with the rom in 3-4 month. The problem of the Hermes stalling when starting phone related functions, not being able to find a phone signal and dropping calls after 4-5 seconds started out of the blue.

:confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
Sorry mate, sounds like your radio rom is corrupted.

You could try to re-install the stock rom but if it keeps freezing it means that you won't be able to use as a phone. Look around on here for mr vanx spl downgrade guide, it should be able to help you restore your proper spl so you can take back.

If you can't install the stock rom then you could at least install a stock rom without the radio part. This will allow you to use the PDA functions but no phone functions...:(

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] SUMM0NER:
Thanks for the help!

I took my chances with the shop and they just replaced it with another! :p

I am about to unlock/install TNT back onto it. OooOOoooh happy days!

Threaded SMS is nice but if I have 5+ SMS messages in my inbox, I have to open one, read, goback to the main screen, click the next unread message, etc.

It would be nice to be able to read the next unread message by click Next or a shortcut key.

Is this possible? Anyone seen an application that does this?
[G1 General] uberingram:
There is no native way to disable threaded SMS and I don't know of an app that does as it's very much superior to standard message collecting. If there was an app I would be surprised.
[G1 General] TonyHoyle:
Threr are several SMS apps on the market.. I'm sure one will do what you ask - it's something that annoys me too... haven't had time to try the different ones though.

None of the 3rd party ones do MMS as far as I know, so I'm currently stuck on the stock one. If that's not important to you there may be one that suits.
[G1 General] androidmonkey:
Yea, none of them seem to have that option. The closest thing is SMS Popup. I like it, but it only shows the latest message.
[G1 Apps and Games] androidmonkey:
I sometimes get notified that multiple apps have updates. Is it possible to batch update apps? ASTRO allows you to batch select apps for backup but not for update (unless I am missing something).
[G1 Apps and Games] SpyderMS:
I would absolutely love this feature as well. When the OTA 1.1 update came out with update notification, I was hoping the dev for aTrack Dog would add this type of function to his software.

However... If someone did develop this type of software, I would be wary of using it after the issue with the Dev for PowerManager using bait-and-switch tactics to change his software from free, unlimited use, to a 3-day trial. I would hate to have my apps suddenly stop working because they're now trial software, or because of a bug that presented itself in a recent update which I might have read about in the comments when updating manually.
[G1 Apps and Games] androidmonkey:
Of course the best way to add this feature is the way ASTRO app backup works. You click on each app or click the checkbox for all apps. To bad it only backups the apps.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] supernatedogg18:
I was researching online and it says on a couple websites that the stock ROM on the Sprint Mogul is OS Build 19208.1.0.2, but the latest ROM for the Sprint Mogul listed on the HTC website is Build 19208.1.0.1.

What is this newer build that other websites are referring to and what are the differences?

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] datzent83:
I had my Diamond for about 8 months now. All of a sudden no matter where I click on the screen it always clicks on the top left corner (Start button). I hard reset the phone, changed SPL but nothing worked.

My Specs:

Duttys 5.2.20764.1.4.3

Diamond-hspl-1.24

When I try to align the screen it keeps on looping not letting me get out of the screen alignment. I have to soft reset the phone.

Is my phone dead? Do I have to send it to HTC for repair?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] caudex:
sounds like a broken screen digitizer (the plastic which recognizes touch).

If its under warranty then i suggest you flash everything back to factory, ie. stock spl, stock ROM. Then RMA it back for warranty.

If it isn't under warranty and you wanna get it repaired. Then just order a new digitizer from Ebay and install it yaself. That will save you an arm and a leg, since HTC will probably charge you like 4x the price to get it fixed.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] datzent83:
How come it responds to the screen alignment than? When I press the cross hair it responds to it and moves to a different position.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] datzent83:
Right now I am trying to put the stock SPL on the phone but I can't get past the screen alignment. The is synced and everything. Any ideas?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] steveianson:
You MUST change the ROM to stock first then the SPL
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] datzent83:
I did put the stock ROM back on the Diamond. But I can't get passed the align screen. I tried deleting the "welcome" file form \Windows\StartUp but the file is protected and can not be deleted. Is there any other solution of by passing the welcome screen?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] felixmo:
I had this problem too, I got my Diamond from Rogers and went home. After a few minutes this started to happen, and I instantly went back and got a replacement.:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] acrylic_26:
I got same prob. But sometime it work fine, after i do softreset i cant skip screen align. Can hard reset fix this prob? im from malaysia, how much it'll cost to replace the digitizer? thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] yuenkai:
i have this problem too :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] gcaires:
hello all!

I had the same problem as you! after some time searching... found a program called "Remote Screen Alignment" ... and your problem is solved!

Just google it! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ni91t:
For the new diditizer is this easy to repair by myself??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DanGlee:
I have a broken touch screen too (LCD is working perfectly, touch is non responsive, all over the screen)

I was just reading in another thread that changing the digitizer on its own is a bit of a nightmare as its glued to the LCD screen? Is this true, is this the case, if so, would it be possible to buy a LCD + Digitizer in one? I searched eBay but could not find anything?

Any help is much appreciated as the cost of a new phone is not an option!

Thanks,

DG.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nokovica:
Hi

My digitizer is also broken, I ordered new one from ebay (cost about 10 €) and as you wrote replacament is nightmare.

I'm trying to find a manual or instruction video but I cannot find anything.

If somebody knows how to replace digitizer please let me know or share a link for it.

Currently my best solution is to order new digitizer with display (cost about 20€) It is possible to order for exaplme here:

hello, i have the same problem with my diamond here, pres the screen and it activates the left upper corner, after a while stoped doing that but not my right lower part of the screeen doesnt respond. i mean i press the "j" and it writes "k".. u know what i mean., i cac calibrate the screen but after 1 min the problem is back. i wanna buy that digitizer and change it but b4 this i need a confirmation, did anyone do it and after that their diamond worked like b4? waiting for reply thx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] aboutryan:
This post is giving me a nightmare. I am facing similar problem only its not permanent. What I mean is it woks fine sometimes but wont respond sometimes. Sometimes it responds in the corners if I press hard. I think my phone is just passed its warranty also its 2nd hand though I have the bill. Service centers are really bad so I am scared.

Do you'll think my digitizer is gone bad or is it a software glitch?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] adygadam:
Hi guys

I have a similar problem with my HTC Touch Diamond,

The screen just gone crazy constantly pressing on the top-right corner, this happened like 1 week ago. After searching the internet and this forum I found out that my only quick solution is to hard press the four corners to get working properly again but the problem will come back again after a while.

I bought this phone from ebay in 2008, had no problems with it untill I found out this ugly strange colored square in the middle that is noticable after switching phone's backlight off, I guess that was due to me holding the phone in my jean's back pocket (as I used to previous phones non touch :D), I had this phone working perfectly until what happened last week!

I decided to find if this is a software related issue, so I upgraded to official HTC ROm 2.03.405.3 WWE, but the problem persists :(

I also bought a digitizer from ebay in case I want to replace it (but never done this before)

Can anyone please confirm if I am still under warranty, how to check this and if yes is that going to cost me anything to get it returned to HTC for repair (other than postage costs of course) :confused:

If not under warranty anymore, do you advise me to get a LCD+Digiztizer combined instead ?

Many thanks !!!

Damian
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] minidisco:
I have this problem (not my video):

youtube > watch?v=5-IUzerAT0s (sorry, I can't post links)

Problem:

Sometimes, and really just sometimes, no matter where I touch the screen it only signals a left touch. So wherever I touch, 1, 2 or 3 - only 1 will enter.

I am not sure if this is related, but it may give some clues:

A few days ago I disassembled my Diamond. I did not take out the LCD coz it's sort of glued in and probably hard to take out and may break.

However, I got down to the digitizer soldering. I did not de-solder the flat-cable, but I pressed my solder iron on each of the 4 solder joints. I pressed the solder tip right on the film. Don't worry, it's most likely polyimide and it's heat resistant.

After that the Diamond worked well, well, for a few days. Then same happened again. When I have the problem and I press strongly right of the HTC logo (LCD bottom right) the problem disappears. That makes me thinking the problem is maybe mechanical.

It maybe a solder crack. I presume the Diamond is RoHS, and my solder iron was not RoHS. That matters, coz RoHS solder needs more heat the lead solder. Means, my solder iron did not really melt the solder under the film.

I will give that another try with an RoHS solder iron in the next few days.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sailochi:
I have the same 'tendency to go left' problem. From my experience, I found that the problem could be caused by heat. Here are some examples when it goes wrong: When I use Tomtom navigator while charging the battery, the phone really heats up and starts to go 'left'. When I try to text message under the sun after taking it out from my pocket. When I have high usage such as wifi + opera. Really hop somebody can come up a solution for the problem...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] siddharthsai:
The Reason ---

Its a heating issue seen in 20% of all shipped diamonds. It heats and expands the digitizer causing loss of touch.

Solution ---

I'm working on it!

P.S - The heat i'm talking about is not the heat that's generated wile using the phone , its due to outside exposure.

Crazy thought - Try it at your own risk

Exposing the mobile to moderate temp (cold , say 12-14 degrees) might help. Not sure.. i said MIGHT.

Don't try this if its under warranty. And don't blame me if you did something wrong and all you circuits get messed up!

Anyways will post if i hit something on the way!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] lednicazar:
No, new solution??

Maybe change the digitalizer solves the problem?? Because two months ago the problem only stay few minutes but now i can't make the alignment process.

Thanks!

Right now, I'm working on:

Animations

Game Modes

Better Scoring

Trackball Support

How could I get the IP address to my G1? thats the Ip my phone uses for internet not the ip when its connect via wifi
[G1 General] Binary100100:
You have a couple options. Using Terminal Emulator you can use the netstat command or you can use the easy way and go to www.ip-address.com. What do you need your uip address for anyway? You can't remote in through edge or 3g like you can wifi though telnetd.
[G1 General] tanner2007:
thanks...................
[G1 General] Binary100100:
You're referring to DynDNS and you can also find it in some routers. Unfortunatly, I believe there is a service charge for it. I use no-ip instead because it works just as well. But as far as I know DynDNS is the only app that offers this. But again... why do you need it??? I noticed that when I go to whatismyipaddress.com and when I do Netstat in Terminal Emulator I get two different ip addresses. I don't know what's up with that but I'm thinking that the netstat is the ACTUAL ip address and the ip address shown on the web site is a proxy. I would imagine that T-Mobile would not be stupid enough to leave their subscribers phones open to everyone else. It's very simple to get someone elses ip address if you're a host of a web server since all ip addresses are logged and without security (such as a proxy) it could leave all users vunerable. So my conclusion... if you had your real ip address... what do you plan on doing with it? You can only access your G1 through WiFi as far as I know. But correct me if I'm wrong.

I have a rooted G1, iam running JF 1.42 RC33, i also have RC33 Radio.

i live in Chicago in a place where the 3G coverage is pretty good. in fact a month ago i was having perfect reception on my G1.

recently; i am having many issues with the data link (3G, EDGE)

simply, the phone does not pick the data link properly, and even if connected, it might drop the connection.

sometimes i have to go to settings, wireless, mobile networks, and click on "use 2G only" a couple of times to trigger the phone to connect... it will drop the connection when it goes to sleep !!!!

i have noticed that many times when the phone sleeps, it does not switch properly between the wifi and 3G [or EDGE], so i dont get my emails.

sometimes a reboot solves the problem, and some times it does not

i tried to flash the radio image again,,,, it didnt solve the problem.

any help will be highly appreciated.
[G1 General] Binary100100:
If you've tried to reflash you radio and the results are the same it may not be your phone. It may be the network itself. You should call TMo to see if they have any issues in your area. About a month ago half the country went out for also half a day. It's rare but it happens. If no one else is having issues then it's possible the problem would be with the phone. You could try a wipe and/or reflash but it probably won't make any difference since it sounds like the radio (which you already tried flashing). Maybe also try checking to see if turning off data roaming will make any difference.
[G1 General] ajarmeh104:
thank you for your response:

iam having this issue since a couple of weeks,, and i dont think it is a network issue.

i have tried to disable/enable data roaming,,,, it didnt help.

am i left to a "wipe" only.. ????
[G1 General] Binary100100:
well you can give that a try and if that doesnt solve your problems then it may actually be a defect with your phone. also... ive had issues that my phone would lose data and voice even while i was on the phone. it would just disconnect then say no service. the problem wasnt my phone though... it was my sim card. if that sounds more like your problem you can get a new one for about $20 through a tmobile store.
[G1 General] ajarmeh104:
i didnt encounter any voice call drop issues.

when i wipe, i will need to reflash everything, right?
[G1 General] gottifour:
I live in the chicago area as well and my edge/3g has been off and on like crazy over the past 4 or 5 days. I will look at my phone and it won't have an E or 3G. I'm running jv1.42rc33 with apps and caches to sd card. I'm not sure if its a network problem or my phone itself.
[G1 General] Binary100100:
So you both live in the Chicago and are having issues with 3G/Edge and you doubt that it's a network problem??? I hope you didn't do your wipe yet.

I'd call T-Mobile and ask to speak with their data support (Tier 3) group and verify that it's a problem with your handsets before you do anything (like reflash, wipe, etc).
[G1 General] Mikey:
i live in chicago as well.

T-Mobile was/is having 3g network issues. T-Mobile where not aware of the issues. They say they are on the issue to solving it. ::(
[G1 General] gottifour:
I didn't explain myself well there. :) I'm under the impression it is a network problem. I learned my lesson last time there was an outage. I did like three wipes in four days thinking it was my phone.
[G1 General] ScottC:
It isn't you - my 3G (also Chicagoland) has been up and down since Wednesday. It is completely down again this morning. All day yesterday it was probably up for no more than an hour.

F'ing T-Mobile made me wipe my phone, then drive to the local store to get a new SIM, and they refused to acknowledge that it was a network issue. The sales rep at the T-Mobile store was having the same issue.
[G1 General] Binary100100:
DOH! That sucks! LOL. If you're referring to the outage that we had about a month ago I took the liberty of posting a thread on here warning people not to wipe because they might not be able to sign in because of the network issues. There were so many that did and I was almost one of them myself until I wised up and decided to call first.
[G1 General] ajarmeh104:
hello guys,,, thanks for everybody who in contributing in this thread.

i can see iam not the only one having issues in Chicago, t-mobile said they had no problems,,,,

what makes me tend to believe them is sometimes if i play with the phone the 3G shows up,

this is an experiment for you to try (it worked for me):

enable tethering using the open source gui, then disable it again.... 3G shows up !!!! even if you enable wifi... the phone will switch properly between wifi and 3G (when sleeping).

it worked for me last night and is still working now.

if you guys try it and it works,, this means t-mo has no problem,,, and we need to figure out what is wrong with the combination/configuration we have...

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] d_train:
Okay trying to cook my first ROM, but I have some apps that I always seem to need to install after I change my ROM. How can I add these to my ROM?

The programs are Remote Desktop (Finster's CAB file), BackGammon (exe taken from another PDA), Logmein (CAB file), Advanced Config 3.3 (and NetFrame 3.5), plus some other games I have gathered over the years.

Can anyone assist? I have looked at the OEM directories from OEM 5.5, but there are no CAB files and the other files I can't see how to create.

Anyway - any assistance for a total noob would be appreciated.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
From the Nike kitchen, tools>package creator. Copy your cab there, and then run package creator and select the cab. A full package will be created for you to add to your OEM folder.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] d_train:
THanks for that, what about the exe files that just need to be placed in a folder and a shortcut created - eg the backgammon game from the other PDA?

Also - just checking - I open the can and then extract it to create the package?

Thanks
