[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] leadpoizon:
Oooh, I'd like to help you with the Opal Phone Canvas. I'm actually trying to work on it myself. It's basically a dialer system off the new GSM HTC Opal, which looks and functions much better. The only problem with it is that it even though it is capable of having functions such as 3-way calling on the GSM phones, on CDMA, it can't do it. When on the Vogue, it also causes the data arrows to not work like they should. When the data connection is inactive, they are supposed to be gray, but they remain white, and the phone thinks it's online the whole time. It randomly connects to the internet due to that too. The original dialer also has a problem of not being able to accept 911 dialing and phone codes, but i have been able to fix that with a simple registry entry. The rest needs to be fixed in a dll file. I think i know which one.

Not a complete newby, I've flashed the last 3 phones, went with the WM6.1 rom on the touch before it was official but I'm wondering with trying out the 6.5 beta - If I flash it, is it possible or reasonable to go back or will I pretty much need to wait for the official 6.5 rom to change?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Lokosis:
You can easily reflash back to 6.1 after 6.5 with no issues.

I flashed to Haykuros HTC build and like everyone else, noticed it the "H" above the signal icon. I thought it just pertained to the build as everyone suggested, but I noticed my phone will switch from 'E' to '3G' to 'H' depending on location.

Does this mean that HSDPA is active in my market, maybe just for testing purposes? I'm located in the NYC region.

any thoughts?
[G1 General] jashsu:
If you're referring to T-Mo USA, HSDPA has been active since launch. Plain vanilla UMTS only does 384k down. The H indicator shows up on Haykuro HTC because HTC wanted to differentiate between standard UMTS and HSXPA in the connection icon. You can see their custom icon in

I recently just received this phone as a gift and would love to use it.... but it is way to slow. I have looked at this process and I have even seen my buddy try it out. It seems that whatever he did made the phone no be able to talk to my computer any longer. If you are interested in helping me out by flashing my phone for me I will be willing to pay thanks!

Does anyone know of an application to sort OUTLOOK by conversation? Just like how I can sort SMS in a "threaded" mode, I'm looking for a way to sort my main Outlook by this same threaded mode. On my full PC Outlook I Sort by Conversation and love it. Looking for a way to do it mobile.

Hi guys, i know there are similiar threads out there, but i cannot find a good guide to my question. Please help me out here.

I just got my HTC Diamond yesterday, and had lots, i mean LOTS of difficulty using it.. It too cheem. Haha, so will appreciate any help.

I think it's best to give u my phone infos:

ROM Version : 2.03.707.2 WWE

Speed 528Mhz

Ram size: 192Mb

Windows 6.1

(Need any more info, please ask me.)

Firstly, how do i change the Clock, time format to 12hr, instead of the 24hr clock.

Secondly, How can i turn off GPRS, so i won't have to pay extras in my bills.

Thirdly, SMS is quite difficult, what's the best way to use it with a hand and no stylus.

Fourthly, Is it posible to upgrade the version to 6.5?

Fifth, i saw something abt tweaking, how do i do that? And the only way to lock my phone is the power button is it??

Additional Questions:

There's another question. For example my old contact naming Wei Ming, when transfer to HTC, it change to Ming Wei, HOW TO SOLVE?? This is very important too.

Lastly, when i use MSN, then it import all e emails in my contacts, making it very messy, what can i do?

Please advise how to make my phone to become as user friendly as possible.

Thanks in advance!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Sulten:
Ok first things first yes you can upgrade to 6.5 although it is not officially released you can install it.

there are programs that you would want to install to help you do most of these things. take a look at these 2 threads for programs to help you achieve what you are trying to do.

Themes, Applications and Software <---Diamond sections / Development and Hacking <----General sections

look at Icontact for you contact issue

look for TF3D to configure the themes / wallpaper / and other items in Touch flow.

I cannot sync my contacts with the computer too.

Can anyone help me out quick?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] a33a:
Hi,

A way to disable GPRS is an app called NoData MoDaCo. Search the forum for it.

Also If you look in the settings there is a way to disable error reporting .

You have quite the laundry list of questions/issues. However all of them have been asked/answered in various threads around the Diamond (and other) forums. Please use the custom Google search as it is much more reliable then the default vBulletin search engine.

[G1 General] Samon:
Hi All,

First, let me introduce myself. I'm a software developer (C#/ASP.NET primarily) from Melbourne, Australia. I've had my HP rw6828 for a few years now and have found xda-dev to be a fantastic wealth of information. I've flashed this phone countless times with many different ROMs, and poked around 'under the hood' with the registry etc and played around with getting TouchFLO working, etc.

Anyway, just bought a (barely) used (still had original screen protector etc on) G1 from eBay (from the US). Got it yesterday and while it's a great phone I'm not sure if the issue I'm having is hardware or software related.

Basically, sometimes (I can't yet determine whether it's just random or if something causes it... I'm still experimenting) when I push certain keys, it's like two keys are being pushed at the same time. For example, I push the [W] key and it types "6w". Makes typing "www." for web-browsing a royal PITA! The reverse also appears to be true, i.e. i push [6] and it also types "6w".

Several keys are messsed up like this, for example [1] or [y] results in "y1", [2] or [5] results in "52", or [n] results in "ns", etc.

I'm totally new to Android and the G1, and this is how I bought it, but Settings > About Phone shows the following:

Model Number: HTC_Dream

Firmware version: 1.1

Baseband version: 62.33.20.08H_1.22.14.11

Kernel version: 2.6.25-01845-g85d4f0d android-build@apa27#27

Build number: 1.51.0.1 PLAT-1.0 126986 test-keys

Can anyone shed some light on the topic?

Cheers,

Sam.
[G1 General] SolemnWishing:
I would think it would be a software related issue. If you are familiar with rooting, flashing, etc, try flashing to RC29 then installing a JF modded firmware or a Haykuro build firmware.
[G1 General] Samon:
It looks like hardware :(

Unfortunately it appears to be a hardware fault actually. I noticed that it was working correctly, then i opened and closed the screen and it was broken again. I then gave it a gentle twist, i.e. the whole housing, and it was okay. I'd say there's a bad connection inside. I was really hoping for a software bug so that i could easily fix it, but at least I now know the cause I might open it up and take a look.

Thanks for your suggestion anyway.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
If its a bad connection (as you believe), then that is the easiest thing to fix. Just open it up and reconnect the various connections.

However, I wouldn't conclude that it is hardware just by what you've experienced. Opening, closing, or twisting shouldn't have any effect on the keyboard since it is just the DISPLAY that moves.
[G1 General] daveid:
Where did you get your phone? I would think it is a hardware issue and would require either servicing or a replacement.
[G1 General] Samon:
eBay, used. Since I gave it a bit of mechanical adjustment, it's been fine.

Out of interest though, can anyone tell me (from what I posted in the first post) what exactly I'm running on this phone? I.e. is it a form of the original OS, or is it a cooked version?

Cheers,

Sam.
[G1 General] KidJethro:
Try googling the kernel version #. Bunch of hits on that. I only looked for a minute or two, but looks like it could be a german RC-9?
[G1 General] stones1313:
did it hold up

I noticed that this post was from awhile ago, and I was wondering if adjusting the inners fixed it and for how long. I just recently bought one on ebay and it too is having the same problem. Also how hard was it to get to the connector that needs to be adjusted?
[G1 General] Gerdal:
I have this problem some time ago (2-3 weeks ago) when my phone come back from service. You can try to repair it by strongly shaking (but be careful to don't throw it on f.e. wall :P). Several times this repairs phone for hour or two, but after two days the problem has gone permanently and my phone still works perfectly.

This problem is related to one of connectors in phone. I tried to root, flash another ROM but only strong shaking something helped.

Hi, I have never posted in these forums before but I have been using them ever since I had my tmobile wing.

Anyway today my friend asked to see my G1 and idk what he pressed or did but my applications tab was on the right side of my screen while my phone was in portrait mode. It looked sweet it slid out and all the icons were small. How do you do this? When I opened and closed my phone the tab returned to nomal.

My phone is rooted by the way with JFv1.42_RC33 as my rom.
[G1 General] bigballa:
that happens to me all the time

its a software glitch

i just restart my phone
[G1 General] Breach:
It really doesn't matter to me because the dock is fine at the bottom, but I think being able to dock the application tab on the bottom, top or sides would just add to each users comfort and enjoyment.. and we all like to be able to customize various aspects of our G1, so why not the dock location? ;)

[G1 General] ginomac:
Do you know how to make it happen? or does it just happen randomly?
[G1 General] Meltus:
its never happened to me but i think it's just a random glitch that happens when you open the keyboard.

but from the screenshots of it someone posted a while back, it does (in my opinion) look much better.

as far as i know, no one's been able to 'recreate' it.
[G1 General] CBowley:
This happens to me all the time on the h build. So annoying, it's like the phone doesn't know its in landscape mode. The tab gets in the way of the shortcuts etc. I can't wait to get back to G :)
[G1 General] cigar3tte:
Happens to me randomly, usually when I close the keyboard and rotate the phone at the same time.
[G1 General] Meltus:
no offence, but thats not what the OP was talking about. That's a known issue, rather than a random glitch.

Gday guys, ive noticed if my phone goes into standby, the wifi will switch off and the data connection (gprs) will bein usage, costing me money!

Anyway to keep wifi on while the phone goes into wifi? Anyway to disable all gprps access easily and then switch it on when i need?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Laos101:
it depends on your settings I think. If you setup the phone to use a data plan, then it will use it on regular and standby when your software sends updates

if you set it for Wifi, Likewise

Honestly, the 30$ a month I pay for unlimited data is worth it, you should consider it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] nizmo_man:
Not all of use are privileged with unlimited data plans

To OP, I think you can change the settings using Advanced Config

use advanced config to allow wifi to stay on during standby. its under menu - more settings. also if you dont have a data plan, remove the provider settings from your phone

I know this kinda cliche. But please help me out.

I got a second (third or fourth maybe more) hand Vogue. The previous owner said that the battery should last about 3 days. But I've been recharging it 3 times a day (for a 24hours standby).

Please note: My backlight is on level 1 (the darkest) most of the times. No Bluetooth or GPS at all. Only light phonecalls and sms.

I've done all the tweaking and stuffs. Activesync only when connected to PC. Battery settings to save. I got a new battery. Nothing work. It barely last for 12hours (with the new battery). On a power off (not stand by)... it goes down 30% over a night. I don't know what's draining my battery.

I'm suspicious that the OS is not original from the sprint. I don't know is it cooked or not. But it still WinMo 6.1.

Please help me... Let me know if u need infos.

This is what it says on my Booting Screen:

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] atoz350:
Do you know what programs you are running?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mrayearth:
If you are talking about the task manager, it's empty.

However, I did try to hard reset it and I have this theme (thundering sound on boot, wallpaper of lightning strike tree) and a few programs (TCPMP, Total Commander) still in my HTC. I have no idea if there are more differences. Oh, I didn't have the HTC Cube. Have the FTouch Flo but not the Cube. I did install it later on.

Please help me. I have no idea whats draining the battery... I'll appreciate whatever help I can get.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Shidell:
If you're suspicious that your ROM isn't authentic from Sprint, and your battery is draining quickly, I'd say it's time to ditch that ROM as it's suspect.

(As per the norm, back up your data first.)

You can download the latest ROM for your device from HTC's site. Hit them up, grab the latest ROM, and flash your phone. Once finished, let it set up / customize, and let it charge fully. Also, make sure you connect to the internet and browse for a bit using Sprint's ROM, to set up the Carrier's Data Provisioning. Also, test out some GPS functionality.

This is the bone-stock Sprint ROM, so if you want to test battery life, this is the place to do so.

If this resolves things, I would highly recommend visiting NFSFAN's 6.1/6.5 thread, and downloading (as of right now) 6.5 v7. It's easily one of the best ROMs available for any phone, period.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mrayearth:
It seem that I have been evading the inevitable...

Thanks for the tips. I'll need to find a way to flash it safely as possible.

Thanks a lot
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mrayearth:
anyone kind enough to direct me to the latest ROM on HTC site? They keep directing me to the South East Asia site... and the don't release Vogue there. Or is it possible to throw away the the custom ROM without reinstalling the whole thing?

Thanks for the link. But I think I will try the NFSFAN ROM coz I don't live in the USA.

I'm still blank about how to flash it though. Anyone?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
regardless of where you live I would suggest flashing a stock ROM first just to make sure its at a step one state, stable and normal before flashing a custom ROM

But ... if your thinking of flashing to NFSFANs ROM - go

HERE

and read up on the FAQ for it as well as a "how to" as to flashing a custom ROM

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mrayearth:
Thanks for all the advice. I flashed my phone with NFSFan and let it stand idle for about 6 hours (no tweaking yet) and the battery still goes down about 50%. Thats the same as it was... :( Well I'm trying the tweaking anyway. Is it defective?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
it's prolly just time for a new battery.

one other thought, if you open the batter cover,

on the battery it should say a number and then "mAh"

For example I have 700mAh

which is like the smallest battery, and you're suppose to get like a 900mAh from the factory, but I got ripped off from the phone store. :eek:

But basically the higher the mAh the bigger and longer the batter will last.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mrayearth:
The battery says 1100mAh the same one with the original. It lasted longer than the one I got before. But isn't it suppose to last about 3 days? Dang! I'm afarid to use anything because of the battery. I'll try to exchange my latest battery with the new one and hope for a longer life.

Btw, done more tweaking and still the same.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mrayearth:
-double post-
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Tybalt39:
On average, I get about 17 hours (mostly in "standby") from the 1100mah battery. Lately, the battery has been going dead sooner...

I purchased a 2400mah battery and back cover for about $15US a while back. I went back to the factory battery for a while, but kept the larger battery in my backpack. After not using it for a couple of months I pulled it out last night (when the 1100 battery was about to die) and it still had a full charge! Going to use it again for a while...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mrayearth:
US$15 for a 2400mAh battery with a back door? can u direct me to the website?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmitr:
One more thing,

How do you recharge your phone?

Many people, NFSFAN himself included have noted that charging through USB from your computer takes longer, but holds the charge quite longer as well.

Give that a shot if you've been doing the wall charge thing.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Im def interested in that deal as well

Currently I charge via a cradle powered off the wall and connected to the PC via usb into the cradle it has a extra battery charge slot as well so the phone and an extra battery charges at the same time from an amazon dealer

Works great but 2400 Mah for 15$ ?? Im on that like ugly on Rosie LOL

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mrayearth:
thanks for the tips... gonna try it. Btw, I heard a guy named nue2chem (cmiiw) made a program that can charge the battery with USB port from PC faster. Ever try it?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] atoz350:
It's only for the TouchPro.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mrayearth:
i installed nue2chem's dynamic clock and sett everything a bit lower to the lowest. Didn't do anything noticeable on the battery though... installed the power driver for titan/vogue but don't know what it's doing exactly.

However, I charged the battery with usb last night (on a power off state) and ask my huband to pull it off when it's done. He said that he pulled it off around 2am. And I turned it on around 7.30am and found that the battery is 96%. What a revelation! Usually it will take around 30-40% even at power off.

I hope it can do better at standby mode :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mrayearth:
The nue2chem dynamic clock and power drive certainly are not helping my battery on a standby mode. Gonna try the power off again tonight.

Out of curiosity. Since flashing NFSfanROm doesn't really help my Battery, will flashing the stock rom (perhaps then flashing NFSfan ROm or any other) do the trick?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
It sounds of a hardware drain issue .. no program or ROM is going to help that as it literally sounds as if there is a physical issue with the hardware draining off the battery

about the only steps is to take it in and see if the techs at your local provider can fix/replace something (most likely main board swap out) or send it in via insurance claim (if you have it) and get a different phone

The only other thing I could suggest and this is so far out in left field its not even in the same state is to check your contacts between phone and battery on both the battery and phone - they should be a very brass/copper look and not all dirty and dark, if they are dirty and dark then take some EXTREMELY fine sandpaper and brush it LIGHTLY over the metal contacts VERY CAREFULLY to clean them, I really cant see corrosion and dirt being the issue for the battery drain or it working hard to deliver a current to the device, but with everything else having been eliminated we are only left with the two options LOL

tweaks, apps, ROMs, settings, etc all not working with minimal usage of the phone = hardware

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mrayearth:
Main board swap out? That sounds pricey. I'll try cleaning the battery terminal.

Anyway... my battery goes down 2% over an 8hours power OFF. No improvement on a StandBy mode though. I know it's silly to get excited over nothing but it's better than nothing.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mrayearth:
did the battery terminal cleaning thing, and it doesn't work. The battery is still draining.

Any other suggestion rather than a hardware problem? Vogue wasn't released at my country so any hardware modifications or service is VERY expensive.
