Actually this is fixed. It was simple and embarrassing.

After doing a lot of reading I found a post on another site with a tmob rep. He was talking about how if you have a shared text plan, sometimes there are issues with the data plan provision dropping off of the sim card because the subscriber will have a shared text plan and also text messages as part of their data package. T-mobile systems see this as redundant and drop a feature.

I've had the same data plan for almost 2 years, it's the same data plan I was using when I first got the g1 - sometimes their systems don't pick it up for awhile apparently - but when they do you can no longer use that internet gateway. Coincidentally, this happened to me just as I was downgrading my g1.

Sorry for the needless post. Thanks to everyone who contributes to the site with guides, they have always been very helpful to me.

Sometimes it's the simplest thing...

[General Questions and Answers] ciaran2506:
Hi I have a MDA Vario 1/ XDA Mini S running WM5. Whenever I go to switch the device on or after a soft reset, it takes about 5-15 minutes to load to the Today screen. It comes up with the T-Mobile screen displaying IPL, SPL etc, freezes for about 20 seconds there and then goes to the blue Windows Mobile screen. This is where it freezes for a long time. Sometimes it wont load at all and will freeze completely.

Does anybody know why it is doing this and any solutions? Any one with the same problem?

All help will be much appreciated

[Touch HD General] ozmoran:
Have you tried a hard reset?

Make sure you have a backup of contacts etc

Then turn off phone (remove battery if you have to)

Hold the volume up and down button in (Make sure your pressing both up and down)

Then press power button it will show a message on screen to reset blah blah

release the volume buttons

push the volume up

then volume up again

see if that works

[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
To hard reset device you do not need to tap screen

Simply turn off device or remove battery from device

If battery removed, re-insert it after a couple seconds

Hold down volume down and volume up and then press power on bottom

Continue to hold volume down and volume up until you are presented with white screen with text

Follow instructions and press volume up to hard reset

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] number16:
Hi all,

I've been a very happy camper with my htc Touch (ELFin) running dsixda's Onyx ROM. Though not especially powerful, the ELFin has been a great package doing most of the stuffs I expect from a smartphone, but I couldn't be happier with it.

But then, as I'm sure most of you know, there comes the itch for a new toy, and the fact ELFin only has a QVGA screen and not VGA/WVGA seems to get on my nerve, and the fact it doesn't have built-in GPS also gets pretty annoying.

So I've been thinking of an upgrade, and right now the Diamond and Diamond 2 are on top of my list.

I am looking for a smartphone phone that does email, lite web surfing, the usual PDA, GPS device (I use tomtom right now on the ELFin) ... I also read plenty of ebook on my smartphone.

What I'm NOT looking for, is a multi-media player. I rarely listen to music off my phone, and almost never watch video's on it.

The Diamond and Diamond 2 both seem to fit the bill. I've been satisfied with the 201Mhz processor on the ELFin, so I don't think I'll have a problem with either phone's power.

I like the D2, because it has a longer screen, which I presume is better for web surfing and ebook reading. And the screen seems to be the biggest difference between the 2 phones.

The D2 does cost quite a bit more than the Diamond though ... I can get Diamond for about half the price of a D2 (~CDN$300 vs $600)

I also heard D2 that I can get my hands on are from overseas and somehow 3G doesn't work on them with my service provider (Rogers). I can easily get a Rogers branded Diamond though and get 3G.

What's your 2 cents? Have any of you used both the Diamond and D2? How do you compare them?

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adesonic:
You may find the screen on the D1 a little small for comfortable ebook reading (depending on how good your eyesight is). I guess it comes down to price and 3G availability, I would probably wait for a 3G version of the D2 suitable for your region to be released and go for that.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pauln:
If you want hardware arrows choose D1 and if you will use mostly like a phone.

If you want internet or read documents take the D2.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slateblue:
I recently made the same choice when I upgraded from an Artemis, and I went for the D2.

There were two main things put me off the Diamond - fixed 4GB of memory with no SD slot, and a lower capacity battery that lots of people complain about (though there are extended versions available).

I use Mobipocket reader a lot for e-books and one thing that is a pain on the D2 is the lack of a D Pad which means you can't change the autoscroll speed (at least I can't work out how to do it).

Another nigle is that the only programmable key is a long press of the "Call" key. I have that programmed to toggle autoscroll, but on my Artemis, I had another key programmed to switch to full screen. If I want full screen on the D2 I have to go through the menu, so I don't usually bother. The screen is much better than the Artemis (QVGA) anyway.

Other ebook readers might be better, but I haven't had much of a chance to look around yet.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] number16:
Thanks for your 2 cents.

I am concerned about paying the premium and then finding out my 3G phone is limited to EDGE because it's not a carrier-branded phone ... that would REALLY suck. I have to confirm on that before I make the jump.

I also agree - lack of d-pad and hardware buttons may become a problem. Right now, on the Touch, I use AE Buttons to customize more functions to the hard buttons on the phone so that might help a bit. Still, I see your point slateblue.

I have also heard about the battery issue on the D1 ... friend of mine uses the D1 and he said he does have to charge his phone everyday with moderate use. How's the battery life on the D2?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepeoplesclub:
I use a fantastic program called AE Button Plus whic lets you reconfigure most of your topaz buttons. You can assign buttons to launch programs etc and have options of hold down, one press, two presses and three presses.

I use mobipocket reader by pressing the volume down to next page and volume up to go to previous page. I have assigned the volume keys as up down direction keys and to change volume by holding down for a long press. It's a great program, which is not freeware but I would be lost without it to be honest. ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slateblue:
Worse than my Artemis. I used to charge that every 2-3 days with light use.

I seem to be charging the TD2 every day, but I don't like to let it get below 50% so maybe I am just over-cautious. Not sure I'd trust it to last two full days.

The worst culprit seems to be the 3G radio. If I leave it overnight, the battery can drop 20-30%, but if I turn the radio off (airplane mode) it loses less than 10% in the same period.

Thanks both of you for the heads up on AEButton Plus. I've just downloaded the trial, and mapped volume to up and down arrows, and it makes a number of things easier. Not free as you say but pretty cheap at $8. Save me looking at alternative ebook software which is good as I really like Mobipocket.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] number16:
I do want to ask about the 3G connection.

I heard all D2's in North America are designed for Europe / Asian markets, and their 3G antenna doesn't work with North American service providers, so you are limited to EDGE and cannot get 3G.

Is that a hardware thing? Or is it a firmware / software thing that can be fixed via ROM flash?

slateblue, you mentioned you can get 3G connection to your D2 ... how did you do that?

If a ROM flash fixes it I don't mind, but otherwise if 3G doesn't work on this phone in North America, it's a deal breaker.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slateblue:
Sorry, don't know to much about 3G. I'm in the UK and my TD2 supports 900/2100 MHz HSDPA/WCDMA according to the box. Not sure what frequencies are used elsewhere in the world. I'd have thought that it would need different hardware in much the same way as North American/European GSM phones used to to be different (and incompatible) until quad band handsets became common.
[Shift Development] apoparis:
I had many difficulties to install windows 7 to my shift, maybe because of my USB stick. And then every guide was a little bit complicated - too many instructions, too many steps, too easy to make a mistake and then go back to the beginning..

Didn't want to buy an external dvd-drive either..

Anyway, all this before I found this article.

Check this out

Installing Windows 7 without using a DVD or USB via direct method - No USB stick required. No USB drive required

In this method we install Windows 7 on a clean partition like the normal DVD boot method. Only change is we don’t use a DVD drive in this guide. Please follow the below instructions carefully and don’t skip any steps to make things quickly!

1. Download the Windows 7 ISO files from Microsoft. I hope you have already downloaded one.

2. Download and install Virtual Clone Drive from http://www.slysoft.com/en/download.html

3. Firstly, go to the directory where you have saved Windows 7 ISO file. Right-click on the ISO file, select Open with and then select “Mount files with Virtual Clone Drive” to mount your ISO file.

4. Go back to My Computer (or Just Computer) and then double-click on the Virtual Clone Drive icon to start Windows 7 installation process.

Yes, you are installing Windows 7 without a DVD or USB drive!

5. Next, follow the normal Windows 7 installation procedure to finish the installation. Windows may restart during the install process. Worry not, everything will go fine.

ok, now the short way to make a bootable USB Disk to install Vista/7

cmd

diskpart

list disk

select disk $ [where $ is the number of the USB Disk listed in the list disk command]

clean

create partition primary

select partition 1

active

format fs=ntfs quick label="InstallUSB"

assign

exit

exit

Copy the content of your Installation Disk on USB and boot from it, just simple as that

do this method install the new windwos over the existing windows, or on a new partition in HDD.

As far as I know, no version of windows allows installing of a new windows except from booting.
[Shift Development] cadc82:
I just tried it out and it installs it over the existing running windows, doesn´t matter if it was downgraded to xp, or already upgraded to 7, it will install a new and fresh copy of Win 7 in your local drive, regardless of the existing vista recovery partion, which can be used in any time... (I hope to get ride of it once Win 7 final version comes out...)

When the installation is complete, a folder called "old windows" saves all the files from the preivous running operating system, bt since it´s over 10 GB, I suggest you erase it..

Win 7 is fantastic!! I have my shift now running both Internet Explorer 8 and Opera, Office Pro 2007, Skype, Live Messenger, Eset Smart Security 4, Adobe Reader, and more.... as smooth as butter :D:D:D:D

I love SHell3 and been using it for about 6 month now.

Ok, so I've been flashing my phone alot, so Microsoft's Myphone has been an invaluable app (you have NO idea how much it pains me to say that). So I've been looking into Shashimi and other auto-install stuff, but I'm wondering where my login/pass is stored on my phone for Myphone. It doesn't appear to be a registry entry. There are some dat files there, but I would have no idea which file to backup. Figuring this out would make flashing new roms super quick and easy to get your data back up (as well as if you had to dump to a clean rom while away from your PC). Any insight would be helpful!

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] irus:
first sometimes the password is encrypted so it my look different but when you can do is a hard reset then look at the time right before you enter your user/PW then look at the dat files that have been modified around at that time then move not copy those files over to the storage card then reopen the app if it has your user/PW then thats not it if it asks you to renter it then it is it. hope this helps

I had the same issued as you are having i was also stuck on the t-mobile logo screen because of the radio update, and yes my phone got brick. but since i had insurance on the phone i took it to my local t-mobile made up some excuse that my phone stop working and they gave me a brand new one in store for free. gotta love the extra at 5 dollars you pay for insurance saved me from buying a new one lol.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonikamd:
Yup, you've got a brick. :( Most common brick actually, downgrading radio 9/10 times seems to leed to a brick. Currently there are no working fixes. There are rumors that either a serial->USB cable might help fix a brick or wiring up a jtag setup. There's info about both on the interwebs but neither has been proven to work on the dream yet afaik.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cidica:
Here is my question. What were you doing before the brick happened? By chance did you install the special spl?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speoples20:
This is horeible advice you never want to tell them you droped the phone, that's not covered under warranty. Just tell them the phone won't boot. But yeah sound like your phone is fubar.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
How is it bad advice? Hardware problems are covered by warranty, software are not. the brick is a SOFTWARE problem. T-Mobile does not give replacement g1s that are screwed up because of something you installed that wasn't issued by T-Mobile themself. If you tell them you dropped it , its a HARDWARE problem and they provide replacements...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cidica:
Telling them you dropped the phone and it no longer boots is your problem and they will say so. "Was it working before you dropped it?" Yes it was "Then it soulds like when "YOU" dropped the phone you messed it up" Hope you have the phone insurance that's the only way you are most likely going to get a new one but it's going to cost you.

While it's a software problem if you drop the phone and break it they do not have to replace it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
Oh god, fine then. You come up with a better story and post back :P I don't understand your last sentence...In the official tmobile g1 forums they state that they are not responsible for anything you do software wise to your phone ( root, ROMs, spl, brick, etc..)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cidica:
simple The OTA got to you for cupcake and you went to install it when the phone rebooted it was stuck at the G1 screen. they will walk you through a few steps and confirm it's messed up. At that point they will send you out a replacement. You do not have to say anything about it being rooted. I just did this for my friends moms phone. He messed it up I called and got her a replacement sent. Now if you are not a T-mo customer you are out of luck though which sucks :/

Hell I had to do this for 2 phones. 1 G1 and 1 Shadow this past week (both phones were modded by me/friend) Shadow was a true hardware issue though and not the mods fault though.
