Update

mukhunthan did you have an update? I am wondering if I should buy a SIM card socket (found it for 50 bucks) or a broken parts tilt off ebay so I also have backup parts but could run into the same problem... Also, if it is not the SIM socket then I would be out 50 bucks. Does anyone have any opinions?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gelf:
same fix worked for me :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] realthephoenix:
update:

bought a brand new SIM card socket and replaced. Turned on the phone, and while it seemed promising, the same thing happened. I have officially given up and want to through the phone across the room (lol) Have tried everything now from the paper to cleaning contacts, a new socket, new SIM, checking connections, ect. I guess I will be calling this one problem a failure. Now I have just purchased a used one off Ebay so I can have the busted one for spare parts (LCD, speaker, styli', batteries, housing, ect).

Thank you all for your input :-)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mukhunthan:
hi....here is the update.. Got my phone back from the service center with a replaced SIM CARD Flex. It is working now perfectly.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Gooker1:
I have the same exact problem like everyone else. The sim just shuts down when I slide it shut.

I was able to get a cheap replacement Tilt via CL, but my new replacement has horrible reception compared to my old one.

I checked around on the site, and now it looks like I will have to flash my radio to get a better reception.

If anyone has any tips for a first timer, please PM me. :)

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mukhunthan:
Try upgrading the radio . U may use 1.70.09.01 radio. As far my experience it provides decent signal and also better battery life.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mukhunthan:
Try upgrading the radio . U may use 1.70.09.01 radio. As far my experience it provides decent signal and also better battery life. After upgrading the flex my phone started acting weird, call would get connected and on audio on ear piece. later upgrading the radio solved the issue.....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Antigen:
Same here

I have the same issue with my tilt.

I have disassembled it and found out that the main flex cable is damaged.

I have bought one at ebay and currently waiting for delivery.

People, as the sim card socket and it's flex are not moving parts, there's no chance it being damaged. The problem is in the main flex cable that connects the mobo and LCD unit.

My damaged flex shows about 5 lines that are damaged, they are cut off.

PS with this problem the microSD slot is also unavailable.

The phone lits up upon inserting the SD but it wont show up in storage.

I wish U luck.

But be sure that I'm right :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mrsh0llywo0d:
I'm having the same problem as well... I'm going to try the sticky note procedure and really hope it works. I can't afford to spend $50 on a used phone :'(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gemelo_1:
has anyone come up with something new? ive just had the same problem, and here in mexico i dont think there are any htc centers...so im pretty much depending on u guys! pleeeeeeeeease lol
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] scousemartin:
have any of you tried a new sim in it as i have found that the sim warp slightly with heat from the phone. I had this problem a while back and simply slightly bent the sim flat again and pushed the two metal runners down slightly to make better contact. Worked for me

Hello,

I own a HTC Touc HD since a few days, I use L26_TOUCH HD VERSION.9.0_WWE_ULTIMATE [RHODIUM BASED] ROM.

I tried to change the ringtone but it does not work. When I choose another audio file than those who where originally installed it just won't change, it changes back to the one before.

I tried different folders, Windows/Rings and My Ringtones, I tried mp3, wav, wma, and I tried different audio files, it won't even work with the Dogbark.wav file!

Am I doing something wrong, or forgetting something?

Could you please help me?

Regards

Dave
[Touch HD General] Kash:
What you need to do is copy and paste the ringtone file in: My Device/Windows folder. It should then appear in the ringtone options to select
[Touch HD General] Pretenderr:
I already tried this, but same problem. It appears, I can play it and select it, but when I click OK it changes back to the previous one.

Any other suggestions?
[Touch HD General] fantasies:
just change the properties on the file to system :-)
[Touch HD General] Pretenderr:
Thank you, it works!

do i have to set up the keyboard? every time i type there are symbols instead of letters when i type some of the letters on the keyboard
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reborg:
Anyone interested?

Simply put I am going to create a mound and cast a landscape sync cradle for the X1 since I don't like the plug a lead in the side approach of the available commercial ones.

I will be willing to make these for people who want them once I have my own one done, and if I have enough taker there will be some economy of scale.

So with that in mind I have a few questions to ask people.

1. Material

(a) Hard material

(b) Rubberised material

2. How much should the X1 be inclined in the cradle?

3. Is anyone interested?

4. Any suggestions about features people would like?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nippero:
Im very interested.

1. Material should be mixed. The stand itself should be plastic, but the parts that come in contact with the X1 should be rubber, or at least have rubber stands.

2. I think a 30 to 45 degree incline would be good? That should allow for a good viewing angle with and without the keyboard open.

3. Yep

4. Hm.. Maybe somehow accomidate for X1s that use a case? So X1s that have a case can still fit on the stand.

Not exactly sure how that would be done.. maybe some sort of spacer system.

A nice little LED under the stand that projects onto the desk would be a bit flashy and nice >.> (I'm getting this idea from one of Sony's VAIO laptops, the CR or SR.. dont remember which).
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THJahar:
sign me up (if it's cheap and you're in the UK) :)

1: definetly rubber for the mount...the base can be either hard or soft

2: 10 degree of vertical

3: yep

4: must be able to plug headphones in (would like to connect to stereo)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelusz:
Very good initiative! I have been thinking of doing something similar myself, but if you're on it, would be even better..!

What you should have to make it a good product:

- Make sure the mini-usb is embedded in the cradle, so you let the X1 slide onto it. (obvious one)

- Make sure you can still slide out the keyboard when it's cradled. (see the other threads about carkits for examples how to achieve that)

- Make sure that the sound jack is still accesible.

- Make sure that the X1 sits tightly in it, not being able to wobble.

Then there's some optional things you might want to think about.

- Doesn't matter which materials are used, as it's all plastic, it won't scratch anyway. I wouldn't recommend any rubber types, as it might not slide in and out smoothly.

- If you add some sort of LED light to indicate it's powered (recommended) do make a switch to turn only the LED off. (to use it at night)

- A nice way to add a LED is by making plexiglass bottom. Drill a hole in the center and put 4 LEDs facing all sides of the sheet in that hole, facing outwards. Add another Layer to protect the LEDs and voila, stylish light. Shouldn't be too bright though.

---

More ideas will probably pop up. Some take some effort to implement, but making these things yourself always do take some effort.

If ever you get this done, I'll order three cradles and pay well!

EDIT: Sketch it first and post it so we can evaluate and give feedback!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwh060:
I'm certainly interested, in either a desk top version or a portable stand.

A portable cradle which could be used on a plane/train table to watch videos. I've seen some plastic holders, but they look cheap.

cwh.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reborg:
I'm not in the UK, but not too far away. I'm in Ireland, I will probably be able post via Royal Mail.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reborg:
Yep, have those ones on my list.

Actually that doesn't take any effort and the mini-usb helps a lot here.

The really depends on the hardness. A soft compound will stick, a hard rubber will work fine.

Definitely won't be in the first design. I'm going to try to keep this as a single cast first time round. Might look at doing it in a later run.

I'll see if I can get that done later today.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelusz:
Alright, fair enough on the plexiglass part. Though my suggestion does keep it fairly simple, as you don't need to cast plexiglass, just use a saw/ viles. It's something I can add myself later though. You'll need to use a screw or something similar for the bottom part anyway, to be able to put in the cable, right? :)

You're probably right on the harder rubber by the way. It's a good one to try.

On being able to do it in a single cast, I can see how it's convenient, but for design's sake, perhaps it's better (and in some cases easier) to cast it in two parts: The bottom part (with the USB connector, hard, reflecting plastic) and the part that actually holds the X1 (hard rubber) and glue it together with compound glue. If you do that properly it'll look just as good, sit just as tight, but be better! (in my view anyway. ^^)

In the end, it's all your choice though, let us know what you come up with! :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reborg:
All good points, and a helpful discussion for me.

A two part cast is just as easy, it just requires more compounds and more moulds and more time ( I'm not averse to spending more time or createing the extra moulds). A single cast can be done with a recess to take the usb cable and a couple of small self tappers will keep it place. I may be forced for practical reasons to go that way anyway so I'll experiment with both.

For your idea of the plexi parts, I'll have to admit I'm not convinced, cut parts don't usually work out as well as cast ones without a lot of finishing so I'd rather not do that unless it's on the bottom. If I go down the route of LED support I'll most likely cast a translucent part with a colour pigment in it to diffuse the light with space behind/below for the LED.

By the way if I do two parts, they will be either bonded or screwed together, not glued.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelusz:
Alrighty. Good to see that at least you're willing to try a multi-cast (woo! new terminology!) design. The idea you had with a translucent cast would be even better, but I presumed that to be a very difficult process. If it can be cast, then indeed it'd be better.

And you're right on the finishing of plexiglass, it'd require sawing, viling and sanding, finished by polishing. If you have to make many, it'd indeed by a time-consuming process.

How exactly would you bond stuff together? Screwing speaks for itself. Do realise that compound glue (if you use the right one) kind-of melts the plastics together. In effect, you'll have a bond stronger than screwing.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reborg:
The bonding method is similar to the chemical weld you describe, just without the solvent. The second part is a wet join to the first which is almost but not quite cured. The advantage is that there is no deformation at all like there is in the chemical weld, and it also produces a cleaner result.

Screwing them has the advantage that a faulty/worn usb cable can be replaced.

The translucent part is easy, it's just clear compound with a pigment in it. The result is similar to a fake jewel.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vmiguel:
Sign me up, also!

Depending on final price to Portugal, I would defenitly buy it.

In fact, I could even propose it on PocketPT forum, to buy several in one go, so bringing down mail costs.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelusz:
Very nice. I'm starting to think you're in the business, considering your knowledge on the matter. ;)

Where are you located by the way?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reborg:
I'm in Ireland.

I'm not in the business, but I have done a lot of fabrication work for custom audio systems in cars in the past and as a result I have a very good knowledge of the advantages of different materials and methods, and the different finishes you can get with them.

Angelusz, I appreciate the input and as a result I'd like to ask if you'd be willing to test and help me refine the prototypes ?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelusz:
Naturally. How do you suggest I can help? The only thing that might complicate that slightly is that I live in The Netherlands. Perhaps a more direct means of communications would make it easier as well. Any suggestions?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reborg:
That would be a good start, I'll PM you my email address(es) for now, and we can take that discussion there.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reborg:
If I understood that correctly you want a cradle with a removable USB lead, or is it a cradle-like stand you're after ?

Honestly if it's just a stand you want it's probably not worthwhile using anything too fancy and check is good when travelling because breakages are common.

I just had a thought though that might be interesting. A stand with a base that can hold up to two standard batteries in the the base (connected in parallel) that can be used to power the X1 for a long flight/train journey.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indy.89:
im interested, but it would be good if the cradle could be used to hold the x1 landscape and portrait. All that the user would need to do is pick up the phone and rotate it :)

Ive drew some basic (very basic) sketches:

Hope you like them. All feed back welcome.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reborg:
That one is easily doable. It is essentially as you describe it in the images; a holder rather than a cradle from the point of view that it wouldn't be usable as a sync station, but from that POV I think you would find that there are already options that can do what you want, so you might want to examine other options than having me make this. Given the number of units I can do I doubt I would be competitive compared to mass-produced options even if I simply operate at cost.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geraldkw:
Good initiative! I'm very interested in the cradlle. The two points I would appreciate is that it can be connected to the laptop/PC for synchronisation and charging. Charging could be via an external or build-in charger, but if that is too difficult or work, charging via USB is also OK.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] stim141:
First purchased a HERM200 TYTN by HTC off of eBay a few weeks ago. Last week finally got around to using it as a phone and ran into a ton of difficulties that I thought were hardware issues. Couldn't properly flash an updated WM6 ROM - phone had TEST ONLY when first booting.

Flashed but I think I corrupted the phone on the initial flash. Did install HardSPL so I got it back.

Was getting NO GSM errors and assumed the radio was bad. Tried a reflash and it basically got stuck at about 20%. Tried just a radio and it did flash.

Today charged the phone - cleared out the memory with MTTY.exe checked for bad blocks and found none.

Attempted a flash with the standard release HTC for Hermes WM6. To my surprise it flashed fully without any errors and no real freezing except for a small bit during the GSM part.

Power cycled a few times and haven't had no GSM yet.

QUESTION:

Is there a bug with the DPad keys? When pressing down key it works for a while in TODAY screen then stops. Can't press any of the softkeys at this point. Can start it again by using scroll wheel or putting in standby and resuming.

Tried in EXCEL and keys work repeatedly. In PROGRAM menu will also stop.

Is this a hardware problem or is this a know software problem.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
I think you found WHY they sold it on ebay.... Sounds like a problem with the directional board. You may experience the dreaded whitescreen too as the LCD is processed through the d-pad board.

AFAIK, you have to go back to RC29 to obtain root, regardless what you're in now.

As for activating without a data plan (i.e. over wifi), I believe there's a thread about it.

I do have a question or problem. Ever since I rooted JK 1.1 RC33, my desktop/home page does not auto rotate unless I slide out my keyboard. I also upgraded to 1.42. I am still having this issue. Does anyone know what might be the problem?

PS individual applications such as compsms does auto rotate.
[G1 General] futango:
Auto rotate isnt set on. After you flash the new firmware. I used a App found int he market called Droidsans Tweak Tool. You can Enable auto rotate with that. Then reboot the phone and it should be on.
[G1 General] AroundTheWorld:
Download "DroidSans Tweak Tools" and it gives you an option for auto-rotate. The first time you press it will probably say something like "operation failed," but press it again it should say that the "operation was successful, please reboot" or something. Then just simply press the reboot button.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] PwnCakes193:
It is unlimited. You can download and use the internet as much as you want, and to your content. There are 2 different versions of the internet on ATT.

The $30 PDA Unlimited Plan that has unlimited/full internet.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] k-semler:
MediaWorks Unlimited, you need to sign up with a non-PDA IMEI, (or call customer service and change IMEI on record), $30 will get you unlimited messaging and unlimited internet. Tethering is also possible if you use \windows\intshrui.exe. Yes, everything ATT wants to charge $60+ for is entirely technically possible on a $15 data plan. There are no functional differences between MediaNet Unlimited and PDA Personal.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] smittyofdhs:
Keep in mind that the $30 plan does not allow for tethering your FUze to a laptop, that plan is like $50/month. BUT... there's a way around it so that you can still use the cheaper plan and get tethering on your laptop. It requires a registry hack, if anybody is interested let me know and I'll find the reg keys and post them here.

I remember reading some fine print verbage a while back stating that they generally limit you to 5gb of data transfer per month.
