zes, and that is the problem, in that situation, trying to start the bootloader, and also after flashing for the hard reset, you don't have any external access to the functions or to any programs on your device (since at that moment there are none, quite redundant). the one and only option to give the device the power buttons impulse, is the power button.

also i guess you're aware of the fact that upgrading your rom does not solve nor avoid your problem, you will still have no key lock, drain incredibly much standby time and once the device shuts off, you need to soft reset it to restart. if the button in physically broken, it needs to be physically repaired or your problem will not be solved.

http://mikechannon.net/PDF Manuals/HTC Blue Angel Service Manual.pdf

that is the ba's service manual, in which you can find the exact process on how to change the power button, and if you don't have spare parts, you could get inspired on how to substitute one... ;)

also, maybe posting a photo of the damage to your button could make people who went through the same be able to advise you exactly, since all my experience in the hardware section of the ba is purely theretical.

hi tony

thanks.

after the flash i can still access the clear reg hive thing by holding record and cam button..

that should be all i need.

as for waking the phone, i can set it not to disable other buttons while on standby, so i can wake it with Call/End buttons.

and then with that, i can use s2cu to software lock the device to avoid accidental presses.

but you're right, nothing better than getting it fixed physically.

i GUESS itll just require resoldering the little switch back on, as the damage is that 2 of its pins have left the circuitboard. i dont have the tools to do a small and precise soldering job so..

ill try to take a pic too and post one later
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] yellowchilli:
well i dug deeper...

seems that there is a 'Enterbl.exe' thats supposed to be related to enterin the bootloader without having to do all the hardware keypresses.

I've not yet had luck with this...dont know which 'version' i need..

so perhaps to rephrase my question:

is there an alternative way to enter the bootloader mode on the blue angel?

similar to the Wizard Service Tool (which i also tried out of desperation, though all it does is blink the BA's screen)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mikemac:
My diamond's battery doesnt last very long as it is but where I work I dont get any signal, and seems to drain twice as fast :confused:

Is the fact its trying to constantly get signal thats doing this?

Any suggestions much appreciated....

Rom = Shaks.P v4.00

Radio = 1.09.25.23
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DefJamz:
my girl HAD the same problem too. i told her that since there's NO signal, the machine will constantly search for available networks. the only alternative to this is to either switch off the phone or put in airplane mode. by putting the phone in airplane mode, the phone will not be constantly searching. have you ever notice that using 3G network uses more juice than that of 2G? she gave it a shot (airplane mode) and the problem of battery drain no longer bugs her.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mikemac:
Thanks, will give the airplane mode a shot :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Sandeman1976:
Yes, airplane mode will stop it from searching networks because all communications are shut down.

You can also prevent the battery drainage by turning the phone off or throwing it in a glass of water ;)

If you still want to be able to use the phone (function) you don't want to use airplane mode :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] band27:
Also most ROMs by default have the BEAM "Receive all incoming beams." switched on. Switching it off helps as well.

I also suggest trying other radio's and switching 3G off for phone calls....;)

Million plus first reply for this topic:

Built-in media player is the best, since it is the only one (well, together with WM player) with full HW support.

Next best would be core player, with partial HW support. But generally you can't play any one CD AVI fluently.

Yes, you must recode the movie into mp4. Simple tool for that is described in this sticky thread:

Hello,

I've cooked my first ROM but de left and right soft keys don't work.

I used Tweak HD to change the keys but it doesn't work.

Both are going to contacts. The left one goes to Windows contacts the right one goes to the new manila contact.

Some idea how to fix does keys??

Thx

I`ve got the same problem, changed the new rom from htc with the new manila and indeed the right and left soft keys dont work properly.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
There was the same problem on Dutty's V2.7 (his first ROM on 1.56 basis) but he fixed it. Maybe you should PM him and ask him if he could explain the solution to you?

EDIT: I just remember that he switched from the Topaz-version of Manila to the Rhodium-version on V2.8 - so maybe that was the solution!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Is your rom Topaz or Rhodium based? If it is Rhodium based there were issues out of the box with the soft-keys... and you should probably rework your kitchen for Topaz :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Odeon:
Any update for this problem with Rhodium based ROMs? Perhaps a manila files replacement with working Topaz ones?

Hey everyone!

Lately my screen has been showing a strange "blur" in the center. The screen works fine (but maybe a litte bit harder to touch with precision in the center).

I removed my screen protector yesterday but the "blur" is still there. I have only used the screen protector that came with the phone (the original HTC)

Please take a look at this picture:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rsmallwo:
Good luck getting it replaced, see the link posted and you will see its the "newton ring" fault and HTC will want to charge you for it as its classed as "user abuse"

But then "looking" at the phone could be classed as user abuse by HTC......

I've got the same issue but to a lesser extent than you, this is the second time i've had it happen to me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] clonednull:
congratulation you have the famous newton ring :)

pls inform us what htc told you when you contacted them.

good luck mate
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Quanni90:
ya i got this to but the precision in the center is still on point...

htc is playing games with the matter, your best bet seems to be in purchasing a lcd n digitizer off ebay,

@ the guy above, why would you congratulate some1 for something like that???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Xophile:
No warranty!

Response from HTC:

Your phone has a fault developed due to excessive pressure. The excessive pressure has caused an air lock between the two screens, resulting in an oily looking square appearing on the screen. HTC phones are tested and guaranteed to withstand a high amount of pressure. Pressures that exceed this will result in the faults you described (an oily looking rectangle under the screen surface). Even though there aren't any scratches on the Touch Pro, the external pressure could be evenly distributed across an area of the screen resulting in air escaping in between the screen layers. As earlier stated this is unfortunately not covered by warranty. The fault is described as a Newton's Ring, and could as well take other shapes than rectangles depending of how the screen is being built. Feel free to read more about the fault on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_rings
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] clonednull:
@xophile:

allways the same lame excuse from htc...

well either you live with your screen (as it is mostly just a visual fault)

or you change the whole screen...

i also have the newton ring and i live with it..

does anyone know where ik can change this back to the original black?

I have a big issue when install a new theme by TF3D CONFIG, my main memory reduced to just 2.85mb :eek:

So i figured out what if to release the memory after installed new theme, can i do it? how to do it ?

tkx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] xxmarkosxx:
Before doing anything,try a soft reset.If your memory is the same,try downloading htcAddicts CleanRam.It's here.search for it.If still you don't have enough memory,I would recommend you changing your ROM
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mar'Cel:
Changing themes with TF3D Config takes 10 or 20 MB. I think it takes less memory if you copy & paste the manila files to the windows dir by yourself.

That overwrites the existing files and doesn't take much memory.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jiangbo:
sounds like a pretty good method, dude.

But when installing the theme by TF3D config with .theme file, so it looks I have to extract all manila files from the theme file, how to extract them out??

another question, when overwrites the existing files with the extracted files, so whether it'll be no chance for me to restore the default theme back again???

It's the main new issue what I was afraid to!!!:confused:

pls let me know how ...

thank you very much, dude.:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jiangbo:
Changing ROM shall be a big risk to me!!!

Though, is there any adjust memory program which the same as WM2003??

Anyway, thank you.:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Mar'Cel:
Hey, I think you can change the xxx.theme to xxx.zip and unzip the files.

Before you copy the files you should make a backup of your manila files (or the complete windows dir.) Whatever you want :)

If you don't like the new manila theme you can either copy the old files back to the windows directory or you could delete the (extracted)manila files from your windows dir. After a reboot the old - original manila files are restored and your old theme is back again :)

Hi all,

I tried to stablish two data connection on my kaiser with ROM 3.29.412.0 ESN and Radio 1.65.17.56.

The first one is for BlackBerry connect 4.0.0.106, an the other ona is for internet acces.

The problem is when BB is connected and I start an application which use the other data connection, the BB ones stop working till I close the other connection.

I remember taht I could have both data connection at the same time, but I cannot remember the configuration settings.

Could someone help me?...

Thanks.....

Pablo
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] PizzaRoll:
Not that this helps much, but about 6 months ago I was playing with PPP settings and did find a registry setting which controlled how many ppp connections should be used over the modem. I changed it from one to two and magically I could dial on with both ATT media net (wap.Cingular) and the ISP (isp.Cingular) simultaneously. I think this is what you are looking for, however I forget the registry entry.

Even if you get this accomplished, I think you might run in to problems with the routing tables in the device. I would study up on routing, default routes and other such information. This will help you solve the next problem of actually dealing with two network connections.

Addition:

After some quick googling on RIL (Radio Interface Layer) I found the page again.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa919118.aspx

If you do not understand this page and its contents then this project is not for you. You will find it is much more complicated then just editing a registry entry. If your radio supports multiple connections and you are savvy about IP/Routing tables then you might be able to accomplished this.

This is not to discourage you but let you understand that this is not for a novice who is unwilling to work for the results.

Good luck!

when i start up, i got, on the red lines, all the values except R NONE and G NONE.

the OS start up with no problem but no signal.

i tryied to load new radio with memory card but it stops around 20% and stay there still.

no problems to load a new ROM.

what can i do with it??

please someone help me!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] scousemartin:

if its hard spl i believe its perminant. if you re-flash the carrier rom it'll reset the os and radio back to stock settings so you can start again. id try that before looking into anything else

None of them slide without me telling them to, if that's what you're asking.

I didn't have the Wizards when I started, so I can't speak for them. The Tytn and Kaiser I had from day one, both work just as well as they did then..
