Hey guys, just a small review on the

1.17.25.09 - Official Hotfix from HTC (South Africa) - 11-06-09 Radio

I am in Missouri STL area.

I have been using it since Jan. now and here are a few things I have noticed.

GPS is very poor Intermittently works in wide open areas will not work at all in or near buildings for me.

Cell tower signal is good I never drop below 3 bars (on att network) and I never get dropped calls while moving.

Voice quality is decent, I can hear everyone fine but it seems to pick up back round noise quite easily. Which in turn causes a lot of confusion to the person your speaking with.

battery life is also poor, Most of the time I get 8-10 hours with very little use. 1-3 phone calls with little talk time, no text messages, surfing the web, or using memory intensive apps. I do send/receive e-mail every hour although.

Internet is good, seems to get a good connection at all times and loads quickly.

Overall it is a decent radio, The reliability of having reception out weighed most of it's flaws. However the voice quality and the GPS almost never working is what blew it for me. I use GPS quite a bit even my weather app uses GPS to track the location that I am at the time and pull up the weather.

So I guess I could give it a 3/5 overall. It's not good. but it is not the worst out there.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] z3wl:
does the radio version influences the strenght of the wifi signal?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mcalvo_cr:
Man.. this is THE thread.. congrats! great idea and very nice job for the community!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Gyokumen_Koushu:
hahahaha luckily i read FAQ in eneryrom thread

i flashed new radio. But it drained the hell out of the phone. Less than 2 hours of usage.

Totally ran out of juice. Then only i realize rilphone is not compatible. Getting it fixed ...... about now.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmalote:
Great!!!!

It does not fix the the vibrator issue! Still won't vibrate on incoming SMS when Vibrate is selected via Volume Bar!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georgeono:
thank you. Some have a problem with the SMS notification. Hope this solves all the issues
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gsfg46:
It actually does on my TD2.

Installed HTC ROM Update and the hotfix.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georgeono:
question: has anyone tried this hotfix at the same time having the notification message enabled? I am interested in finding out if the guys from HTC included in this Hotfix a feature so that notifications won't be saved any more, but deleted after view. Thanks in advance!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FRD666:
no, they dont get automatically deleted after viewing..

it would be a nice feature though! because i hate it too that all those notification messages are also in the inbox.. :s

[Mogul, XV6800 General] segadc:
This sucks. Everything was going great but for someone reason lately, I am having trouble turning on my XV6800 from standby. Some times I have to hit the power button more then once. Or wait for a couple of seconds then it turns on. It is not dependent on the power button, because when I switched it to turn on when any button is on, it still won't turn on. What does get it out for good is if there is a call or a text that wakes its self up. But other times the power button works great.

I would love to solve this problem! I used SKTools to see what is running as soon as I hit the power button and hit it again to turn on. Both TimeWizard.exe and shell32.exe are at hundred for that second. Is that ok/normal? Have any suggestings before I hard reset?

If I do hard reset, I am wondering if instead of going to MR1 I should go with a WM6.5 rom. Is it really more trouble then its worth? I get about 21 of 22MB at startup (aftering clearing ram in beginning). What's the average for WM6.5 with the titan? I rather fix my problem and not hard reset, hate to reinstall all the software and do all the registry hacks all over again.

edit: Looks like this is an issue (a lot of people had it) that cannot be solved without hard reseting. So I still need to decide what route (MR1 or WM6.5) to go with...
[Mogul, XV6800 General] btonetbone:
I personally like 6.5. With the inclusion of a tool called nueKernel, many ROMs will boot with up to 28ish MB of RAM in high memory mode on a fresh install. In low memory mode, it's usually between 20 and 22. High memory mode, if you aren't aware, temporarily disables the camera. Low memory mode enables the camera. You can switch back and forth easily using a setting in your System menu.

Also, make note of any tools you currently use on your Today screen. Any third party additions may not exist for the new Titanium layout. There are a bunch of new add-ins for it that will most likely do everything that you need, but do some poking around first. You can also use the older today screen on 6.5 if you can't find what you need for Titanium, but that ruins a lot of the fun.

Since you use SKTools, you can also easily export any registry tweaks you put in, and re-import them on whichever ROM you decide to use. It's fairly easy.

There are a number of ROMs to choose from between XDA and ppcgeeks. Read some of the comments and check out what the chef includes. It will be pretty different than the official Verizon ROM you are used to, but that's usually a good thing. I currently use bbsandkm's 6.5 ROM from ppcgeeks, but that's personal preference. Ryan and TPLane here on XDA make some amazing ROMs that you can use, too.

But before you flash to any non-official ROM, please make sure you read up on the guides to do it properly. It's really pretty simple, but you need to just follow the directions.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] segadc:
Is the around 20MB the amount with Titanium? I love HTC Home since I can use the Today calendar. All these new plugins never show the complete day of apointments.

Yeah I would have to do some reading before I even consider. I do know I would have to downgrade to the original 6.0 OS before going custom. Would I have to go back to 6.0 again and then 6.1 if I decide I don't like 6.5? Already getting scared just thinking about it lol.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] btonetbone:
In high memory mode after installing all my programs, I start with between 25 and 26 meg free. That is using Titanium.

The only reason (I think) that you'd need to downgrade to 6.0 is if your GPS does not work after your upgrade. And no, you wouldn't need to re-install 6.1 during the process.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
Downgrade is necessary if you have a pri of 2.03xx and want gps to work on your custom rom.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] segadc:
I got so sick of this problem I just hard resetted and went for MR1. I will switch to WM6.5 maybe later in the future.

However, I notice my Titan did it again today! It barely has anything on it right now. So I am guessing my memory card might be the problem. So much stuff on it (its a 16GB) like portable apps, every cab I have ever downloaded etc. That's my only guess. Would a memory card be causing this problem?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] RyanMogul:
What you are experiencing is a DSOD (dark screen of death). Usually its because of something installed to your storage card that is always running(not good, things like that need installed to device memory). Also make sure you have no .exe's in the 2577 folder on storage card (if you have the folder).

Here are some possible examples of DSOD's

Disable the automatic ActiveSync checking. This is the official solution from Verizon Data Technical Support.

Do not install software on the storage card that might trigger automatically. That means: Absolutely no today plug-ins, no ring tones, nothing that runs in the background, and nothing that could accidentally be triggered if you hit one of the buttons of your device.

Do not store data that might be accessed automatically. Same thing. Basically, do not store mail attachments on the storage card if you have wireless sync.

Close programs that use the storage card before turning your device off. Magic Button is an excellent tool to do this.

If you do install programs on the storage card, do NOT use the "Programs" window or the start menu to start them. Instead, use a File Explorer to run them. If you use "Programs" or the start menu, that program will be in your list of recently accessed applications in the start menu. So the next time you turn your device on and click on the start menu, the system will access your storage card to load the icon of the application - this will create a noticeable delay of several seconds, if not DSOD.

Don't randomly install crap. Every single piece of software you install could interfere with your system. Limit the software you install to what you really need. Check the forums, some people named a few programs that explicitly did not work for them.

I hope this helps you out.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] segadc:
Wow thanks, that helps a lot!

edit: Not my day. Don't ask me why but I decided to clean some registry after cleaning up my card. Well I deleted something that effects me to not see the verizon mobile site. I posted about it before here. At least now I know what I did wrong with that problem. Anyway, if I were to hard reset, will it revert back to a clean MR1 with all the Verizon stuff? So far I have been just reinstalling MR1 which does it all. The reason I ask is I hate to wait until tonight to do this again. Thanks guys.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] btonetbone:
Wow, you learn something new every day! Amazing writeup.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] segadc:
It happened again last night but I am thinking it might be caused by the latest SKTools. But not sure since I had it almost a month before this happened. I might go all day without it and see if that is the case. Then if it is the I will get the lower version.

Also, I am going crazy here, which registry edit is to take away the keyboard lag? I cannot remember if it had to do with increasing the gyphe or whatever maybe taking away the speed of the keyboard when it lights up. I just cannot remember. I looked at tons of posts here and PPcgeeks but still cannot find or figure out which one did it. Thanks guys. I need to seriously remember these registry hacks for next time.

ok: it was not SKtools. I put it back on. I decided to wipe my memory card clean and start over. So far so good! Now I will have time to find some registry edits. ;)

Hi dudes.

Here's the deal: I have read the entire forum seeking information on how to flash ROMs on the china clone for HTC Touch (also know as

Dopod S1

,

Elf

,

P3450

, etc.),

especially the one sold by DealExtreme ([U]www.dealextreme.com[/U]), under SKU 12811

, and, after tried ALL the ones available, did not find any working method so far.

So, this thread is meant to solve this problem only.

Let's work together and (finally) find out how to do it!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] nando_666:
Hello,

I have also create this post today.

I have the exactly same problem.

I have tried this but I always come to the penguin and then the phone reboots. I have done a hard reset several times, but I am not been able to go to the bootloader. Does anyone went far then this?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bigfriendpunk:
i try, but me don´t open the bootloader

various sites, incluing dealextreme how to access bootloader pressing reset + volume up, but dont seems working =(

(brasileiros aqui?)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] clany:
pressing reset + Camera button.!:mad:

This doesn't work as well.:confused:
[Touch GSM ROM Development] nando_666:
Portugues :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] iceman667:
Haha..

Its not a real ELF, so dont upgrade, the hardware is else and i will brick youre phone i think. This only works for the real Elf's and Elfin's not for clone's.

If you want to upgrade and more, then buy a real elf.

Sorry for this, BUT DONT TRY TO UPDATE IT WITH ELF OR ELFIN IMAGES.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] nando_666:
DX already provided a ROM here, that is why I think is possible to upgade it. The question is how?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bigfriendpunk:
Reset + Camera Button = Master Clear
[Touch GSM ROM Development] nando_666:
ok. But we need not to master clear but to enter the bootloader.....
[Touch GSM ROM Development] adrianoercy:
ROM provided by DealExtreme

Hi dudes.

I'm still working on a valid method to flash ROMs on that phone/PDA (china elf clone)...

We all probably have find the same posts (even on DX Forum) teaching how to do it from the SD card (see http://www.gsmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36578 and DX Forum too, with an image they provide).

Have anyone tried this?

I've done it but stopped on that bootloader problem...

My phone appears to enter on it by pressing VOLUME UP while do a soft reset ("stylus in the hole" :) ), but the screen gone black and don't show anything, forcing me to do a new soft reset to restart the phone.

Comments, please...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] fat_fat:
ok, i have one of them elf clones, the rom updates from the SD.

you put the (update.img) file in the Micro-SD card and press and hold the Vol-up key and reset.

that works for me.

why do you want to flash it anyhow?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] jeremy89632:
I saw in the elf forum, someone managed to do it on the clones.

Not sure whether he is using Dealextreme phones.

But you can check out the threads i replied on the elf forum.

I remembered that its on the first page.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] adrianoercy:
Reason to flash ROM

Hi fat_fat,

Answering your question, I do not want to flash the update image provided by DX. What I want is to flash any (other) Elf ROMs to the device, such as Onyx, Blue Elves, Shadow, etc...

Know any working method, please share with us.

:)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] enigma1nz:
Go ahead, if you want to have a lovely desk ornament. If you want to flash ROMs written for Elf, you buy an Elf.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] fat_fat:
ahmm actually. you would have to get the original rom, extract it mod it and pack it.

you will not be able to flash it with an HTC rom. the hardware is similar, it uses the omap850 and all, but things like the LCD and the cam are different. so you would have to edit the image you have.

on the battery, does it say HTG ?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] spirosleon:
i have the same problem. also i bought an 4 gb micro sd and it doesnt recognize it. doew any one else have the same probem?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] sasa66:
Hi Every one

The clones looks like ELFs but they are not and all chinese clones run a modified WM based on WIN CE6 including even iphone clones

They had their specific hardware (not as ELFs) so they need their own drivers to run meaning you cannot upgrade it with elf roms UNLESS one of the developers cooks a special roms to it based on their own rom
[Touch GSM ROM Development] joshua3_ph:
my cloned phone was in portugese and to have it sent back to the seller i had to spend almost the same amount as i bought it so i took the risk with the DX rom and it was successful thank God :D

what i did was:

*downloaded the image

*formatted a micro SD card

*copied the image to the card

*inserted the card

*did the volume up + power key thingy

*the device showed it was downloading the image (heart thumping now)

*took about 10 minutes the device rebooted

*now i have an english speaking china cloned HTC Touch :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] marcoiai:
update rom

To enter rom update on my clone i discovored that the correct combination is: volume up + red button and sof reset it!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] uchihakyo:
Can we modify the "img" provided by dx, right ?

That should work...

I'm trying this,

Hi guys, i have got NTC S1 / Dopod S1 / JinPeng M9i ... it's chinese clone of HTC Touch (ELF 0100) .. on DX website, they have got only 6.1 WM ,

but I found on some chinese forum, ROM, ROM with wm6.5 (build 21193) - which i flashed using microSD and file stored on it , named Uploader.img

.. it was in chinese language, but i found a clue to install Polish language,here some photos:

[Touch GSM ROM Development] bambamfcorp:
PS. i have got question, my phone is using WindowsCE bootloader (i think it is based on in - the same like here at the beginning: youtube.com/watch?v=IxqnPjpR7kE )

Something goes wrong after when i tried to flash my NTC (which have uploader.img's file to flash ROM) with rom (update.img) from DealExtreme.

Now i have got white screen at start, and i have to wait until i can turn on with power, LCD turns off , and after that i can normally use my phone when i will turn on.. i flashed many times my phone with ROMs from wm 6.0 to 6.5 , with no results ...

Maybe someone knows something about bootloaders in Windows CE ?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] diego-ch:
so guys, i got the same phone here

"Jinpeng S1 / M9I / S1 Wise / S1 Extreme / NTC S1"

HardReset: Green + Camera + Power

Flash: Green + Power (Uploader.img on the microsd)

i have installed a rom called "NTC S1 24001", i've found on a chinese forum

using google translator, and it works pretty great but this rom is in chinese.

i also found the kitchen used to cook custom roms to these phones, but the application (called MyBuildOS) is also in chinese...

i guess it can be used to cook an english rom that we could install.

here are the files, if someone want try making an english rom

NTC S1 Kitchen: mediafire.com/?e0jtpjopxz2rwrl

NTC S1 24001 ROM: mediafire.com/?37v5b8mbvm4ob41

i've found a tutorial in chinese (i guess haha): blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_62e940cd0100nvok.html

can you guys try to cook an english rom with this tutorial?

ps: my antivirus said a file called mtty.exe on the kitchen/tools folder is a trojan, but i guess its a faulty report.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] meddleuk:
Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a tweak that lets you use the keyboard on games and emulators such as Morphgear or other apps to simulate hard keys. I had a look on the Touch Pro forum and came across a nice program that enables you to use certain keys for Morphgear, the downside is that some of the keys get a little mixed up which I assume is a compatibility problem or hardware difference. But the concept is there. It's just that with the lack of a D-Pad making use of the keyboard for things other than typing would be really useful. If there isn't one out yet, do you think someone will come up with one in time.

Link to the Touch Pro tweak - I've tested it and other than than the keys get a bit mixed up it works

disable eT9 and it works

Hi,

disable eT9 and it works:

You want to disable eT9. Go into the registry and change to this:

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0010409]

"Layout Text"="COMP IME"

"Ime File"="compime.dll"

then soft reset. that disables eT9 and leaves you with the windows mobile standard IME.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=469486

Than you can remap buttons with ae button.

I had the same problem, my first solution was described here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=531823

with the ability to kept eT9, but it wont work with emulators like Gen PPC.

Hope it helps you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dahoarty:
I downloaded KforTP (do a search, can't remember where from). You can select the kb setting you want without having to soft reset. Works perfectly for me when using the smartgear emulator.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mikeinashed:
Thanks Bub3D. I tried your first solution and it worked, at least in morphgear - genpp doesn't seem to recognise the keys on one side of the keyboard.. Just out of interest, have I actually disabled anything that I might use? Everything seems to work, but what does eT9 do?

I have tried GenPP unsuccessfully. Morphgear SNES works but not the genesis module. Anyone any ideas? It seems to load up games but then black screen when it gets past the title screens. Also crashes the device sometimes when doing this.

I'd happily pay good money for a decent genesis emulator on the TP2 if anyone knows of any.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Curious D:
I'm looking into a new phone and one thing I would really like is the ability to play old games such as those found on MAME, SNES, and GBC. Unfortunately, the state of Windows Mobile game emulation has not progressed much in the past two years. With many phones now abandoning the D pad and screen resolution now higher than what some emulators can manage, programs that worked marginally for my 8125 are reported not working on newer devices. As WM moves on to WM7, I left wondering if any emulators will be left. I noticed that the Iphone and Android phones have emulation development ongoing. Perhaps it is the challenge of getting something to work on something new. I have no programming skills whatsoever so I'm left tapping away on a keyboard lamenting the fact that my next probable phone won't be as fun as I had hoped (since other phones do not suit my productivity needs or exceed my budget for overall cost of ownership). Hopefully, some of these tweaks listed above will work for the TP2 for AT&T's version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tgwaste:
kfortouchpro is NOT needed on this device for morphgear...

in morphgear:

o go to any button config screen

o when assigning the buttons hold down CONTROL while hitting the key

o go to global options menu

o enable 'polling' method

o enjoy!

SmartGear also works without any special tricks at all.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kamiledi15:
I've got a question. I'm using Morphgear, but I can't play some games, because I don't have multitouch on my phone. That's why I can't do, for example, uppercut in Mortal Kombat, which requires two buttons pressed at the same time. I would like to map some button to the buttons on my phone - for example red headphone, green headphone, the volume buttons, etc. It would be great. I tried some applications like AE Button or Dred Sensor, they work with typical using the phone, but not in Morphgear. When I try to map the keys in options, it looks like the are mapped, but they don't work in any game. Is it possible to do that? I don't want to buy external bluetooth controller, I want to use the buttons on my phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] apxi84:
to get mine to work i simply mapped the keys using the on screen(pop-up form the bottom) keyboard rather than the physical keyboard. it then worked on the physical keyboard. I got this method somewhere on the forums not sure where.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kamiledi15:
So, you mapped the keys to the keyboard and then you were able to use for example volume buttons on the phone to control the game? That's what I want to do.
