I have now tested with my phone locked to one carrier. All the drop out of GPS signal stopped and "solved" the problem. So the problem are the automatic search for carrier - even though my company phone is locked to one carrier. Now I just have to confirm the carrier, when i go from Sweden to Denmark and return. I also think the problem is a certain interference with only some carriers. I can recall, i didnt have the problem before i changed to the sim card i use now. Thanks a lot for your input gevan35 ;)
[Touch HD General] Walderstorn:
how do u guys lock to one carrier?
[Touch HD General] Dr.Chaos:
Lock to one carrier ...

Should that be the solution? I live in Belgium, using Navigon Navigator and a german SIM. I was wondering only to encounter the problems traveling through Belgium and France. I'll give it a try with new belge SIM.
[Touch HD General] pocketwool:
Go to phone settings and switch to manual and choose the carrier you prefer.
[Touch HD General] gevans35:
I'm glad it's a fix for you:).

I have started using an external Bluetooth GPS, when roaming in Europe, as I can't handle never knowing if the GPS will be working at the next turn-off point if phone signal is lost on the chosen network.

Why on Earth have HTC/Microsoft made the GPS so dependant on the phone? You can't even turn the phone off in settings, as it also disables the GPS.

[Touch CDMA General] goldengraham:
Hey there guys,

I was hoping that someone knows someway to revive my phone. The screen is complete toast. The backlight comes on, but that's it. I've flashed it a couple times since its been out to the same ROM I had and the stock BELL rom with no success. I know the phone is still working, but the speaker may also be dead.

Any suggestions?

GG
[Touch CDMA General] Detroit_Doug:
Got Insurance?

Youve flashed and reflashed, same issue..

Assumed you pulled the battery and attempted power on while plugged into charger, may be battery, doubt it though..

Screen AND speaker as well may be dead?

Back to original question - either claim it stole and have it replaced for a Diamond (depending on your carrier and the availability but alot are reporting the Diamond coming in place of the Touch) or contact your local store/repair center and hope for the best

[Shift General] matthew.karas:
I have been reading about the latest Sony Vaio P series mini-laptops, which have a so-called "InstantOn" second operating system for mail, web browsing and media. It is a Linux-based system from Corel.

I think it still needs to boot (about 20 seconds), so is not quite the "always on" WM we have with the Shift

Review

http://jkontherun.com/2009/03/23/mobile-tech-minutes-sony-vaio-p-instanton/

Corel Press Release

http://investor.corel.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=365461

One advantage it might have is that the InstantOn OS seems to have access to the full file system. Not totally sure about that though.

Does anyone have hands-on experience to compare?

[Shift General] PlayStation:
This (http://www.umpcportal.com/2009/03/vaio-p-‘instant-mode’-video-demo) video review might be of some help.
[Shift General] foxmeister:
The "InstantOn" on the Vaio P compared to WinMo on the Shift is largely a waste of time because:

a) It doesn't really improve battery life.

b) You cannot install any other programs to it and it doesn't have many to start with.

c) You cannot access the WWAN from it, only WiFi.

d) It takes about as long to boot as it takes Vista to return from "sleeping", so you may just as well put Vista to sleep and use that instead.

I just sold my Shift to replace it with the Vaio P, and I can tell you that the liberated WinMo in the Shift is better than the Vaio P's InstantOn. In essence it is lot less functional than a dual boot linux partition. The big draws for the Vaio P (IMHO anyway) is the fantastic screen, and that it doesn't really get much bigger and heavier with the extended battery (the Shift does).

Regards,

Dave

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] asfoor:
You have to go first to Start/Settings/System/Regional Settings, Date tab and change the date to display anything.

Then open RegEdit program and click on HKLM/nls/Overrides/SSDte and when it opens, enter the following exactly: dddd MMM d, yyyy, close and do a soft reset and you will be OK.

I do not know what ROM you are using, but if it is a OEM, AT&T or b16b rom, then the above works great. If it is one of the PDA ROMs, then I would try it, but Abusalza hides the date Reg Settings so no one messes them up. You can pm him and ask him for the Date address Reg Link
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nicelad_uk:
Come on then... So we all know as to some people this will make or break selecting a rom..

Can you list your usage (lots of calls, internet, text etc) and how long the battery lasts for the roms.

If possible, can we list versions so we know the best for most recent version.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] funk1980:
Battert drain is waaaaaaay to subjective in my opinion. Even after hard-resetting the same ROM the usage seems a little different sometimes. It also depends on the used radio version.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ryoojin83:
Usage Testing Idea

I agree that its very subjective.

But if there is someone out there with a spare Blackstone, and LOADS of spare time. They could write some scripts (Mort scrips? Not sure how they work.) that would just run on the spare phone and do 'stuff' to emulate usage. You could compare that to the 'no use' battery usage.

This is somewhat unrealistic though, since you would have to write a bunch of scripts. You would have to test the average battery drainage rate for each; WiFi, Data(3G, GPRS), Bluetooth, Just plain fooling around, ...etc. And this would have to be done for each ROM/Radio Combination... The scripts would have to run without interruption to guarantee accuracy. Then write a small equation you could drop your usage times into, to see how long the battery would last you. Or you could just rate each ROM/Radio Combo with a scale, to make it easier to read/understand. I would guess it would be limited (initially) to the top 5 ROMs and top 2 Radios, to save time. After that each Cooker could test his/her own ROM near release time, and just add the results to the list. That would drop the accuracy though using different phones.

You would just have to find a nice individual willing to spend weeks starting this project. (or multiple people, one to write scripts, one person to test each ROM/Radio Combo, one to take the results and do the calculations) Blah, Blah... I just saw this thread, and realized everyone asks this question and this 'scientific' approach just came to mind.

Ok...I am done... ;-)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] CEPi:
Well compared t stock ROM, same usage i'd say Custom Rom's are ~30% hungrier i.e i get a day less of charge.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] flipflop2008:
It's hard to say how long the battery use, all base on how to use, if only standby, all cooked ROM no much different.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stepw:
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_touch_hd-2525.php

Battery	Standard battery, Li-Ion 1350 mAh

Stand-by	Up to 450 h

Talk time	Up to 6 h 30 min

I'm getting expected battery life with most ROMs, the battery becomes depleted after 6.5-7.5 hours of mixed usage (some phone calls, some wi-fi, some GPS, some music, browsing, reading) with consumption at 150-180 mah on average. Usually that spans across 2 to 5 days, so as you can see my device is in standby often and consumes little power then.

You can use http://ae.inc.ru/uptime.php to measure the uptime of your device. If the battery level drops down to <10% in less than 6 hours of uptime, then either you are hammering your device with wi-fi constantly on, high backlight intensity or your device fails to enter power saving mode while in standby. The latter could be caused by the ROM or the software you have installed.

After a couple of months, it is not possible to send any mails from this account. Message: "mail could not be sent. check account and connection and try again."

Retrieve files from internal storage if device will not pass the AT&T network splashs

Title: Retrieve files from internal storage if device will not pass the AT&T network splashscreen

I have an AT&T Tilt. It will currently not pass the AT&T network splash screen upon power-on. It will not pass this screen even if the SIM card and/or the microSD card is removed. This condition has befallen my device previously and has something to do with buggy software which I must use. The remedy for this problem in the past has been to hard-reset the device, reinstall my software (or install a backup), and continue life until the next failure.

However, this time I have the misfortune to have files in the internal storage of the device that I would not like to lose. I am therefore seeking ways to retrieve these files before I hard-reset my device.

I am aware of the “bootloader” screen and how to reach it, but do not understand how to employ it to meet my ends. I have obtained “mtty” (mtty_0513_Test.exe) and “qmat” (qmat_435.zip), but do not understand how these tools may be of use.

My device states the following versions at the network splashscreen:

R 1.27.12.11

G 22.45.88.07H

D 1.57.00.00

My device provides the following information at the tri-colored bootloader screen (red over green over blue):

KAIS1*0

SPL-1.56.0000

CPLD-8

In the white area below the tri-colored boot loader screen the text “USB” appears when connected via USB to my Windows Vista Ultimate (Service Pack 1) 32-bit machine and “Serial” displays when the mobile is disconnected from the computer.

The computer searched for drivers for “Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM” when the mobile was connected in bootloader mode, found drivers, and reported that “Microsoft USB Sync” was successfully installed. This is reflected in the Windows Device Manager.

I therefore seek a means of retrieving files (or binary dumps that can be resolved to files by post-process) from my device. I have at my disposal only my computer, a low-bandwidth internet connection, a USB microSD reader, my mobile, my mobile’s SIM and microSD cards, and a USB cable suitable for connecting my mobile to my computer.

I certainly understand the importance of regular backups and I observe this practice to the best of my ability. I appreciate any insight this community may have for resolving my issue. This community has been an invaluable resource to me in the past and provides a wealth of both raw information and well-maintained solutions.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Barkleyfan:
I don't pretend to be an expert, but off the top of my head, (my experience is with XP, not Vista) have you tried connecting, and browsing the device from My Computer? I've retrieved files from my PDA and my Excalibur when the screen broke using this method. I didn't try this with SMS files, however. Not sure on that, or even if your device will boot up enough to be browsed, but it's a thought.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sinnombre:
Device not available through "My Computer"

Barkleyfan, thank you for your notion. I am unable to browse the device in that conventional way, for my device will no longer appear in the storage list provided by "Computer" (Vista did away with the "My"). Furthermore, the mobile will no longer appear in "Device Manager" of the Windows Control Panel when attached by USB and powered-on with no special keypresses (leaving the device to hang at the AT&T logo splashscreen with version information displaying). However, if the device is attached by USB and powered-on while holding down the camera key, a special red, green, blue, and white screen will appear. In this mode, my device will appear in "Device Manager" as "Microsoft USB Sync". Sadly, this does not make the storage appear in "Computer".

That is, my device does not seem to boot up enough to be browsed, so to say (at least by conventional means).

I have used software to dump the memory contents of USB-connected embedded systems and other software to render Windows-readable files from those dumps. This software was used when the standard user interface portion of a device was destroyed or other severe issues plagued the device. I am therefore in search of a similar suite for the Tilt/Kaiser in particular or the MSM7200 in general. In short, I have exhausted my means of finding that for which I think I am looking, but I certainly remain open to other approaches.

Cheers, sinnombre.

Hi Friend,

You've described the problem that I've faced just 2 days back... I didn't take back up of my phone and since now I am unable to pass the at&t splash screen, I am not able to do anything!

By any chance, did you manage to retrieve the content of the phone memory i.e. contacts or any other file? please please please help me get over with it if you find any solution...

I've been using this at&t tilt for almost 3 years and all my contacts and other details are stored in it. I understand i did a very childish thing by not backing up even once but its too late to talk about it now! :(

Please help me if there is any way I can repair it or get the content by any means.

Hello everybody,

I found this out and thought that there may be others who could use this.

It will allow you to create an .lnk that will start a sms message to a certain number. It is not hard, you just need to know the stuff ;)

First of all, you will need a advanced file manager like Total Command(er?)

This is what to do.

Go to the windows folder and copy Tmail.exe

Go to the my documents (or any other folder) and paste shortcut

browse to the folder of TCMD and long press the shortcut

select properties

select "shortcut" tab

add this to the target, outside the "". '-service "SMS" -to "Name <number>"

So it will look like this:

"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "Jenny <8675309>"

You can add this shortcut to your start menu and send easy messages. With any today app launcher you can even add this to your home screen
