Sorry if this is posted elsewhere i did search but found no results.

First you must have a google account set up. Depending on how many contacts you have determine how long this takes of course. If you have any pictures saved on your phone that you would like to use for contacts please back them up elsewhere. Ok, sign into your google account from a computer and find the option where it says "contacts." After you select a contacts name you will have an option to add a pic from a website or other source such as your computer. Simply add pictures to all the contacts you wish save and sign out! After you flash a different rom to your phone let it sync with your google account and it will sync the pictures as well. hopefully this will help those who consider it a big deal to keep pictures with their contacts. I know it can be tedious work with all the different roms popping up every other day having to wipe and update to try the new stuff anyway, enjoy community
[G1 General] jubeh:
or....

Just add all the contact pictures you want, go to Settings>Data Synchronization, uncheck and then check "Contacts" checkbox to force a contact refresh, and voila, everytime you do a wipe, your contact pictues will be automagically downloaded every time you enter your signing information
[G1 General] neoobs:
Completely agree. Two Thumbs Up
[G1 General] GenericNode:
....are you really bullet-proof?
[G1 General] Zappletoo:
You can also go to Settings>Data Synchronization, hit MENU and Sync now to force it.
[Shift Accessories] Sheepster:
There are plenty of small solar chargers/batteries out there so I'm looking at that as an option to extend battery life, but I'd like a bit of info before I go shopping and end up with either something useless, or worse fry the Shift.

The battery on a Shift is 7.4, and the AC charger outputs 12v, so what output would be needed on a solar charger?
[Shift Accessories] jimmunsw:
try 12v 3a should be ok , but rgds to solar charging battery - it will take a long long long long time to fully charge the battery and quick to fully used the juice , so take care if u r buying :)
[Shift Accessories] joy.d:
in germany there is a specialist called solarc for laptop charging solutions:

http://www.solarc.de/cms/pages/en/products/consumer-products/e.go.php

I think the e.go professional can charge a Shift. (I use that for charging my Iphone, Nokia and WM devices if I around the world :-)

or - if you need more power - the company have bigger industrial solutions too..

Hi,

I just tryed my pda software to see all my video security cam in my house and my office.

And the bad news is the screen on the Touch HD because is in WVGA

Before i used it on diamond and it worked realy fine.

Did you know if is it possible to change that ?

This the link of the software (active synch installation only) :

Avermedia PDAViewer v7.5

I'll try to put a picture of my touch HD with this problem soon

Ps: at the same time i'm looking for convert it to an .cab installation.

Thanks for your help :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] crashDebug:
search in this forum for wvgafix3, it will change the resolution of your display to standard VGA. You will have an additional black bar on bottom (it will still be larger than the diamond's one, though)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dreamboys:
Thanks so much :)

I'll try it to see.

But make a realy change of the software is it possible ?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] ClockEr:
I CID unlocked my HTC 3300, and instaled original HTC WM6.

It worked, but it was with 2.xx.xx radio, so I decided to upgrade it to 3.34.90

I started USPL (because i read in this forum that it need to be done before upgrading radio) and command prompt window with "initialisation" (or something like that) worked fine, until 100%. Than it started to upgrade ROM. It also finished to 100%, and then reported an error.

Since than, my HTC is dead.

It doesn't switch on, it doesn't react on USB cable, it can't enter bootloader mode (keeping voice record button, while pushing reset button).

What I need to do to revive it?

Thanks in advance.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] Zecanilis:

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] ClockEr:
No, when I connect it to USB, nothing happens. Neither orange LED blink, nor PC beeps like when USB device is found.

I tried to use mtty, but it does nothing. Apsolutelly nothing. I enter password and other commands, as sugested in some topics, but nothing happens.

I think that mtty doesn't see it at all. I can select COM3, regardless if HTC is connected to USB or not.

Next step?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] ClockEr:
Today I connected HTC on lab power source. When I try to switch it on, ampermetar shows that there is a flow of current through the circuit, but HTC remains switched off.

Hey all,

I am currently using the energy rom with TF3D2..

I'm not to good at alterations to the phone and tweaks etc. but i am wondering.. on the home screen where the clock is.. the softkeys are LEFT: Contacts RIGHT: Comm Mgr.

Now my question is.. am i able to change the Comm Mgr. one (as i never use it) to say an action screen that i've installed? I have tried numerous things and they dont seem to work. On the original Touch Flo i knew how to do it but as i said, i cant figure out how to do it on the new one..

Any help would be much appreciated!

Have you used advanced config?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jayt2008:
I cant seem to find settings for that anywhere in advanced config?

I have cahnged it using softkey manager that came with the rom but it still doesnt work?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] djcaston:
My bad. Thats a ROMeOS exclusive thing :D.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] player911:
Sounds like you are using WM6.5.

The CHome homescreen takes over the softkey assignments the same way TouchFlo3D does. In order to change the Left and Right Softkey, you'll have to make the change manually in the registry or from a CHome Titanium Customizer.

The registry setting is easy if you know the link url to the file you want

Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CClock\

Find the Strings "SK2TEXT" and "SK2URL". The SK2TEXT is the name the button will display, and the URL is the link.

If you're wondering, in the main CHome Key (folder) you'll find the SK1TEXT and SK1URL which is the Left SoftKey; although I would leave contacts up there.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] The Jack of Clubs:
he said hes using tf3d2. he didnt say he was using chome.

I have solved it and changed the key. Thank you all for the help!
[General Questions and Answers] Paul-Lemonidis:
Sorry all but....

I am simply trying to find out how to flash my HTC TYTN II from Windows Mobile 6.1 to 6.5. The only thing I have sucessfully managed to do so far was to re-flash the orginal ROM the phone shipped with from the HTC web site. Is it a problem with my phone or is the HTC ROM update program user friendly in some way (looks identical!?) that no others here would seem not to be? I have read no end of programs that seem to need to be used or installed on the PC and\or phone but no clear set of end to end instructions when using the images from here!? I have tried 4 or 5 different ones and all lose connectivity as soon as the program starts to try and flash my phone. Fortunately pulling the battery and powering back up restores normal functionality. This leads to my final question please. Do HTC write user friendly ROM update software for their devices that work without anything else needed where no else seems to or am I missing something? If nothing else assuming I need to this manually could someone please point me to where I can finda full set of instructions please?

What other than updates that simply seem no to work on my phone am I missing soemthing. I am even more seriously considering the Nokia N97 now as Symbian updates are simple to apply and work out the box! Not like these nightmares it would seem!

Many thanks in advance.

Good luck,
[General Questions and Answers] denco7:
WM 6.5 has been announced but not officially released, so there is no HTC update. I don't know what you have been trying to download.

The only 6.5 roms available are cooked roms derived from leaked betas of WM 6.5 or roms derived from M$ development tools packages. So if you want an HTC/M$ 6.5 rom, you are out of luck, because it does not exist.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] gutter:
Hej.

I recently picked up an HTC Magic, and had a quick question about multitasking. Prior to this phone I had a Nokia E71, and could run Opera, Music Player, and SMS with little to no lag in between.

On the Magic, I rarely can listen to music and web browse without the music stuttering. Even if i attempt to send an sms, the music playback may drop.

Is this normal?

I am running the ION Rom, and have no widgets running, plus no third party apps. I would think that this android OS would be better equipped than this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] deadman1:
Umm. I do not have this problem and I multi-task ALOT!

To fix this, I would recommend using "Advanced Task Manager Lite" from the App Store. It can help you close applications that you do not want running in the background.

To NOT close apps like music while you are browsing..just open up the app after opening up like the Music application..tap on the application in the list shown..and click on "exclude"...do that for other apps like gmail and stuff too..so that they can easily run in the background..

Once you are done doing this..click on "end all"..all the unnecessary apps running in the background will be GONE !

I think this will help get more out of your phone..
[Touch HD General] zorba:
Is anyone else having problems with 6.5 and exchange security setting wiping phone. My corporate policy forces me to have a a password code for the phone and settings that will wipe the phone memory if the password is put in wrong 5 times. What happens is that at various times (sometimes during the night, sometimes during the day) the phone decides that the wrong password has been tried 5 times and wipes all the phone memory (including the microSD card). Most times I catch it quick enough so I can pull the mSD and not lose that data. It has happened with every 6.5 Rom I have tried. Sometimes it happens within a day and sometimes it takes two or 3 days.

Has anyone had this issue? If so, did you find a solution to it? Thanks for any help! I really like the 6.5 ROMs but, with this problems, I obviously can't use them.

[Touch HD General] johnpatcher:
This hasn't anything to do with ROM development, has it?
[Touch HD General] Mike1002:
do a seach on google for ExchangePolicyPatch.zip

extract the file to your device and run it, you can disable the use of the security policy on the device (rather than getting your IT bods to do in on the server).

If the program doesnt run do a search for the registry strings relating to exchange policy.

had the same issue myself.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] mitsi:
I didn't like the curtain either and followed the thread kindly given by jpfa.

Whilst the dialer works well, one word of warning - if you install this, it is not so easy to uninstall.... I found the bottom line of telephone numbers (which includes the number 0 which is used in virtually ALL calls) becomes hidden after un-installing.

The part about the pop-up message notifying you that you need to put the phone to your ear after disconnecting a headset is quite annoying. I think on balance, more annoying than the curtain in the first place..... If you don't connect a bluetooth headset, this won't affect you, but if you do..... Well, you've been warned!!! :D

The end of the story for me is that I re-installed the Rhodium dialer. But I wish I hadn't installed it in the first place!

Qwest Mogul on VZW

Hey,

Before you get too far into it, make sure that your handset is allready active with VZW.

The reason that I mention this is that I just found out that VZW is not accepting Qwest 6800 ESNs any more. Even though I have allready activated the unit on VZW, once I changed my number to another unit (XV6900), 3 level 3 techs & 2 Suppervisers later, they told me that since the "partnersh$t" with Allsmell, they can no longer accept Qwerst ESNs.

The good news is that after gripping enough, I get a XV6800 starter kit for $50.oo.

I'm 1yr. into my 5 line contract, and I have been paying $160~ monthly.:o

That might have something to do with it.

So any way make sure that you are grandmad in with your Qwerst 6800 before you "switch" handsets ever again. Becouse as soon as you do, your Qwest ESN will no longer work on the "OPEN' NUTWORK...

Look into It.

I've been using the HD for two months, and the volume keys beneath the cover appear to have their plastic falling apart, revealing the tiny electronic parts underneath.. anyone else encountered it?
[Touch HD General] starbuck123:
I'm also having the same problem. I been using my HD for around 7 months though. The volume down cover cracked and after awhile, the whole cover fell off. I wonder if this is a defect and will be covered by the warranty.

It's strange, but I find the button feels better without the cover. You get a sort of click when you press on it without the cover.
[Touch HD General] bonesy:

[Touch HD General] jontelfer:
Well I phoned HTC today and their initial argument that if the button is broken due to usage then the warranty is not valid - Eh? I can't see how that's any kind of defence. Looks like they're trying to bypass the devices having to be of merchantable quality and/or fit for purpose.

They also had not heard of any other volume buttons breaking - whether that's true or not who knows.

I'm sending the phone in tomorrow, for an assessment so I'll update how it goes.

Since I listen to musid a lot with my Touch HD its a pain to always push the VolUp button!! glad that you have the onscreen buttons!! :D

oh and about the construction : my HD fell out of my hands today from about a meter high - landed on the floor which was full with little pieces of sand, and slided a bit!! :D now I have some nice little holes on the front cover on the right top (opposite to the Vol buttons) :( !! glad that my screen had a screen protector , otherwise my screen would be just f***ed up!! (when I picked up the phone the whole screen was with little pieces of sand - like sandpaper-- I just wiped them of plugged my headphones back in, and everything worked like it did before the fall)

Hi guys!

Mi HD just has been sent this afternoon to the Spanish HTC repair service.....

Over the phone the very polite lady indicated that probably no warranty would cover that, but still she pointed to the technical people as the ones who would determine that...

I'm crossing my fingers, but still I'm unable to see any probable cause of such precise and specific damage to be my fault, but....

Will report on the service.

[Touch HD General] tacginc:
If you have ever taken your phone apart, then you would know that this is the part.

This is an eBay auction number and had you taken the time to look it up you would have seen the price and know that the volume switch is part of the main flex cable. This can be seen in the attached photo (circled in red) and when this little switch is flipped over you can see the black plastic touch switch
