[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edgar0204:
Hi guys,

I have been thinking of doing a non-touchscreen ROM for those like me that have a Wizard with broken touchscreen. Could sound like stupid but I don't want to spend more $ on a 4 years old phone and that I already tried to fix and touchscreen broke again.

My idea is to adapt any other ROM like CRACING excelent ROMs(with permission of the cookers) so we can skip the screen alignment after hard reset. And perhaps add Fake cursor app (and/or mymobile)so you whould be able to use like 90% of apps.

I have some questions:

- I read about a method to disable the welcome screen with a file named welcome.not, does it actually works? should it be placed on the root or can be on storage card?? will this bypass the aligment process?

- does anyone have tried the remote aligment method (the pc software)? Maybe if this works there is no need of a ROM.

Sorry if I don't test those methods by myself but if neither of those works it will be the end of my wizard hehe.

Thanks in advance for your help!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] opilion:
This is a great idea. The touchscreen on my Wizard is starting to go as well, as I suspect many are, given their age. I have used a wm smartphone and find the navigation to be quite useable. I would definitely use this. I prefer the light-weight roms like TNT Vanilla.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] foronour:
my touchscreen not work i need some one cooking room dont have alignscreen plzzz
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] rodolfo santos:
Bad Idea

Why dont you buy a new LCD on EBay for 20$ and put a new one, I've done the same thing and now it works perfectely.

You just need to disassemble the phone and look at the back of your LCD (to see if it's black flex or gold flex cable).

If you need detailed instructions there is a HTC service manual that tells you in ditails how to disassemble the phone.

In the end just be carefull taking of the LCD from the flex cable.

Best regards

To disable Welcome screen is need add registry this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Welcome]

"Disable"=dword:FFFFFFFF
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edgar0204:
Thanks Qazer,

That's what I was looking for, a registry setting to disable the welcome screen because that will be easily integrated into a ROM. =D

Hi foronour,

Thanks for sharing, maybe you could try the other methods I mention in the first post. Hope it helps.

Will this program make backgrounds at hi quality??? ---> something like here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=500178

Anyways I vote for it!!!:D
[Touch HD General] Svegetto:
Great work! I too am curious if the image is high quality as discussed in the post above me. I believe the member Chainfire was working on a gui to do the same thing and resulting in High quality backgrounds. Also, after using your program, is there a line in portrait where the two portrait images meet or does it align perfect?
[Touch HD General] bcrisp82:
this will make the portrait and landscape PNG chunks at high quality so that you can load any image into it. This program will take care of the resizing/scaling/tiling. You'll still have to use something like CFC GUI (just copy the 4 png files and follow the steps in that thread) if someone can provide me with the compression algorithm used by manilla i can implement it to cut that step out so that you can go straight to the manilla folder

[Networking] ShonkaiDJ:
To start with: I already posted my findings on USB connections with a mobile phone and windows XP in the thread that handles a USB utility

By Accident I just stumbled upon the next and I think it is worth posting.

As I connected my windows mobile 6.0 on an HTC MDA vario II today it suddenly failed to find my device.

To sync anyway, I connected it thrue Blue:Dtooth and that worked fine.

Then: I wanted to sync some new tracks via my Windows Mediaplayer on the XPSP2 machine. As it seems it is unseen through blue:Dtooth.

I considred that this time, the only difference between yesterday (when everything worked fine) and today, was changing my SIMcard from the WM6.1 HTC to this one.

SO I took it out.

And hey....my device (that I had already removed the USB devices) was seen; installed and started syncing like it was yesterday.

It seems T-mobile has some strange SIM-card that makes it impossible to use the USB - Activesync functionality when the SIM is in the phone.

This goes only for WM 6.0 because my WM 6.1 (HTC Vario IV) does not have that problem at all. Maybe there is some developer with any idea as to how this might happen. :confused: There are many issues on the net concerning the same symptoms. :(

It keeps us busy and does make you want to take your new WM 6.1 phone on holidays instead of taking the oldie and keep an eye on that one.

It is also not so very sustainable because I did not have this problem the first year. Before the T-mobile upgrade.....:rolleyes:

PLease tell me we are not being scr**&$#@ for marketing and explain there is a perfictly logical reason for this unforseen behaviour. I'd love to sync without taking my SIM card out. Should I get in touch with T-mobile?

Good luck to everyone who stumbles upon this thread for a reason and let me know solutions if found. :cool:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gs.optd:
Here's my story:

I recently bought this phone for only $125 - not bad deal if you ask me. I knew from the beginning that the screen was a little mess up, even the guy I bought it from knew that. You would need a flash light in order to see what was on the screen. From any other point of view, it's just totally dark/black. So the guy was gracious enough to include a new lcd screen which he ordered to replace the old one. So I decided to undertake the task of putting it in myself. Once that was all said and done, I powered the tilt up and it was doing the exact same thing before I put the new lcd screen in, which was not lighting up the screen and it was still very dark to see anything.

With a flashlight, you can see that it's still working and the touchscreen works fine too. I think another person posted a thread with the same problem, but no one really replied back to him. Has anyone come across this problem before? Some have said that it's the flex cable that connects to the front d-pad and lcd screen itself is the cause for the back light issue. Any suggestions out there?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] peterfnet:
If I were you I'd try to figure out the pinouts for the LCD panel. Try to see if the Kaiser is outputting the necessary voltage for the backlight. Also try the opposite and apply voltage to the LCD to test the backlight.

Unless it is 2 back LCDs, I'm assuming there is a fault somewhere internal and not turning on the backlight.

I've never taken my tilt apart, but this is where I would start.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gs.optd:
I wouldn't know where to begin to troubleshoot a device like this. Lol! It's fairly easy to take apart - there's actually a video on youtube that takes you step-by-step. I guess this isn't as common as some problems are, but I don't want to spend money having someone else fix something that could be so minute. And prices for some of the replacement parts are almost as expensive as what I bought the phone for.

When I took my tilt apart, physically, everything looked good from what my eyes can see. A little cleaning here and there, nothing major. The guy who had it before me flashed the rom to try and make it look like it had touchflo on it so I reflashed it back to the original rom software (or at least, whatever was on the HTC website). I tried doing hard resets, soft resets, rom flashing and everything, still no luck.

AT&T has just changed Unlimited Internet Usages terms, can I cancel without fees now?

At&t has changed their internet usage terms to include the banning of audio/video streaming and data tethering. This means Skype, Slingbox, and other video streaming services possibly youtube...

http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/03/...s-terms-of-service-to-forbid-video-streaming/

While I do like their coverage I find all these limiting factors extremely frustrating. I did not agree to these terms when i signed up, the only thing i agreed to was 5GB cap which I was not happy with either... I use skype a lot to call my family who live in Canada and enjoy the occasional slingbox stream but if i can't do these things anymore what the point of 3G, crappy web browing on a 2.8" screen? What I do with my bandwidth is my buisness as long as I don't break that cap i agreed to right?

Since they changed the terms of usage am I allowed cancel my service without early cancelation fees? If so I will be taking my buisness to T-Mobile and getting the new Touch Pro 2 when that comes out but until then I will be using a non 3G month to month payment plan
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mindfrost82:
Honestly, I believe a lot of TOS agreements are like this, no matter who the carrier is.

As long as you stay under the 5gb cap you should be fine. I think the reason they put this in there is because those are the things that use the most bandwidth.

You can always call their retentions department and tell them why you want to cancel and talk to them. I believe if they changed the TOS and the TOS was a part of your contract then they're voiding the contract, but I'm not sure about that since they're not changing rates on you.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Tekka:
Well I realized that there isn't really a way for them to track what i'm actually doing but I think this is just rediculous, ATT should really take out Unlimited wording in their advertising.

Another reason I want to cancel is month after month I have to deal with bills that absolutely make no sense, I was happy with T-mobile for over 4 years with no problems and the only reason I went back to ATT was because of the FUZE.

My area has a lot of competition for wireless contracts and that how I scored a free ATT Fuze, I bet with a little patience I can get a free Rhodium if I look hard enough...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] XERO_Racer:
ok when u meant unlimted internet usages are you talking bout the "personal PDA plan?" or the "tethering plan"??? cuz i got personal PDA plan on mine and i go on youtube through my fuze alot i dont see any changes whatsoever...plz someone tell me
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ryan_h:
Just a thought..... they are NOT going to enforce that because they have 3 services that they offer that include it... Cellular Video (CV), Mobi TV, and whatever the Mobi XM radio service is...

Just don't go over 5GB and if you do, chances are you can get out of it. If you get charged, PM me and I can tell you how to get out of that one.... ALSO, for those of you who don't know, a change in your TOS is a way to get out of your contract and cancel service without paying the cancellation fee... just a thought... Google it for specifics on what to say on the phone... their TOS has a loophole for you that will allow you out if they change something....
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DrzNight:
Read the latest news: http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/03/atandt-retracts-new-terms-of-service-apologizes/

At&T realized that this change in policy was absurd and have retracted the changes.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Tekka:
You won't see any difference until you go over the 5 GB per month limit.

Well it doesn't really matter what plan your on since this pretty much affects all 3g wireless connections and the 5GB limit applies to everything including broadband usb connect thingy.

Nowadays it easy to stream large videos, like yesterday while i was waiting at the doctor's office i decided to watch a short 30 minute episode of "Better off Ted" and that easily went over 130mb. I never used more than 2GB a month but there are alot of people who use their phone's 3g much more than me so i imagine they get pretty close to that 5GB.

The way I see it is since they revised their TOS it will make it harder to argue your way out of a large bill.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Tekka:
LOL WOW that came in only after a couple hours of the original announcement...I bet they were getting so many calls from bandwidth hungry iphone users lol...guess i gotta wait till Dec 2010 to cancel my contract now lol
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] XERO_Racer:
seems like at&t has a problem now...but im always on MSN messenger, and surfing on opera, myspace, here, youtube at times etc....u think i might reach pass my limit by the time my billing cycle ends? i mean i wont be surfing 24/7 on it but ill be on msn messenger constantly oh and also i listen to the internet radio like 2-3 hours a day...i need ur advice thanks

UPDATE: ok soo i called in AT&T about this and well they only said its gonna against the Tethering and USB broadband services NOT the Unlimted PDA Personal plan that u can get for $30 a month, soo i guess its all good...for now ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] eagercrow:
My friend just got out of his contract because they changed the TOS and he wanted the g1 (android) phone so he called them up told them he didn't agree and if they didn't let him go without the fee he would sue. They dropped him like a hot potato lol
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Stank0:
Last mont I went way over 5GB tethering, torrenting and watching hulu all the time. No word from att yet. already paid my bill. No extra charges.

I have unlimited PDA personal+200 txts. No tethering. I reviewed on att website and as far as I understand that lingo, 5GB limit pertains only to PDA+tethering plan and to Dataconnect (for laptop cards).

Hello,

I just bought a touch screen for diamond and i am wondering to know if i can replace it without replace the lcd screen!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] barncourt:
I have replaced several screens on Touch Diamonds, however the LCD matrix appears to actually be stuck onto the digitiser and the LCD itself is very very fragile. I usually replace the whole unit (LCD screen and digitiser) because it is much easier. You can purchase these from various sellers in Hong Kong on Ebay.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] ferrari373:
I have allready bought a touch screen but not the lcd screen!!! Do u have a guide or something that shows how to change it???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] barncourt:
My recommendation would be to re-sell the touch screen and buy yourself a complete LCD & digitiser module. It is much much easier to do. In terms of taking the phone apart, it is fairly straight forward. Be careful with the small co-axial cables inside though, because they are easily damaged and difficult to obtain without replacing the antenna board. Re-connecting the ribbon cables can also be a bit fiddly.

The LCD and digitiser are glued into the front of the phone. You will need to disassemble the phone and then very carefully using a plastic flat blade, ease the LCD out of the front of the phone housing. It will come out with a little bit of care. There should be enough glue remaining in the housing to re-seat the replacement unit and hold it in place.

If you google you should be able to find the HTC Diamond service manual which tells you how to take the phone apart and re-assemble it. I have a copy, so if you can't track it down, PM and I will e-mail it to you.

I'm looking for a LCD+digitizer and what I see is not something giving confidence...

So if you can give us some real-tested place to start...

Also I've dismantle the phone but it's quite hard to take the screen+digitizer away...

it's seems completely fixed with the housing does some one got s pics or guide on how to dismantle and replace the screen

[General Questions and Answers] Caryllb:
This error has been reported in other places and I have tried many different suggestions to fix it. So I thought I'd try submitting it here to see if anyone has any other ideas.

I have an HP IPAQ 111, Windows Vista home with service pack 1, and WMDC 6.1. I recently added the service pack 1 which may or may not be related to my problem. Now when I try to connect the IPAQ it gets hung in connecting for some time. Then a Red X with the word Error appears in WMDC. There's no error number and the IPAQ will not sync.

I have tried the following:

1. Restarting the PC and soft reseting the IPAQ.

2. Ending the partnership and trying to reestablish it. It won't reestablish.

3. Uninstalling and reinstalling WMDC 6.1.

4. Reverting to my earliest available Vista restore point which happens to include the service pack install.

5. Deleting the Windows Mobile device driver and then reconnecting the IPAQ so the driver is reinstalled now called the pocketpc driver (the Microsoft response to this problem).

6. Unchecking the "Enable advanced network functionality" box under connections on the IPAQ (an on-line suggestion I found)

7. Going through a series of creating unformated .txt and then formatted .doc documents with several soft resets on the IPAQ (another on-line suggestion).

8. Cleaning the registry on the PC.

None of these worked.

The only thing I have been able to do is to create an entirely separate partnership with a different user account I have on the same computer. So now I am able to sync with data on that other user account while the first user account doesn't even connect. Remember, these two user accounts are on the same computer.

Something is messed up with that first user account and I have no idea how to track it down. The only thing I have not done as yet is a hard reset on the IPAQ. But based on the fact that it is connecting with one user and not the other I doubt it's the IPAQ's problem.

Does anyone have any ideas on what to try next?
