[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] s_ibiza98:
customer service says...

its a normal user problem ( on excessive pressure )

even go to extend & show me her HTC diamond,

which was also having the same problem...

then go on to explain, HTC ( in SG ) does not warranty on this "fault"

so replacing it ( or shd say the whole LCD display ) , user will have to pay.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] averma:
same thing happened to my touch cruise before the touchscreen stopped functioning, i think its from the touchscreen liquid leaking out (resistive touch screens are filled with gel/oil between 2 layers of plastic. for my cruise the inner layer burst and the gel leaked out (it couldn't really go anywhere cuz the LCD was right behind it so looked like oil under the screen.

HTC replaced it under warranty. if not try PPC techs (i hear their good) or for self repair get a full screen assembly (MAKE SURE you get the FULL assembly most ebay listings are for the digitizer and/or LCD and are missing the 3rd peice of glass that has to be glued directly to the digitizer for self repair to work)
[G1 Android Development] MonkySlap:
I noticed that /dev partition doesnt seem to get used often. Was thinking about having the swap file sit there. It looks like the partition gets cleared out after a reboot which is fine by me. would gladly sacrifice some extra bootup time for faster swap file.
[G1 Android Development] kiddyfurby:
/dev is a pseudo filesystem containing handles for your hardware devices

do not touch it
[G1 Android Development] Zappletoo:
/dev is actually mounted in RAM, so putting a swap file there doesn't make much sense.
[G1 Android Development] djvw:
I have a question:

If one does Apps2SD, you get a free space of around 75 MB on the data partition, right?

Can't this space be used for a swapfile instead of using the SD card? The internal memory should be faster than any SD card. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
[G1 Android Development] thedt:
yes but you will wear this memory out...then your phone will be useless... better to wear out a sd than wear out memory you cant replace
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deserthucker:
Has anyone tried this.

I had a look under the covers of my X1 and under the speaker/aerial (I think this is the aerial as well) is a connector.

Not sure what type it is looks similar to a SMA connector like the ones in WIFI routers.

If we new the type of connector, the mod would not be difficult as no real disassembly of the phone is required.

The lower cover would need a hole in it and a corresponding hole in the speaker mount.

Then plug in the correct coaxial jumper lead.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deserthucker:
No one interested?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junkai21:
what do we acheive and what can wwe do with that?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deserthucker:
More range being able to travel to remote areas without as many dropouts.

Better reception when used in a car kit.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deserthucker:
Done some testing today.

Connecting and aerial to the terminal under the speaker increased the reception meter from 2 bars to full.

Went for a drive out of town to a dead spot hooked up the external aerial, went from no reception to 1 bar of full reception using a 6db aerial, would be better with a 9db aerial.

If anyone is interested I will post some picks of the mods and cradle I made.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.serra:
I'm very interested

Please share same pics of your work. Thank you!!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poetryrocksalot:
Please post pics because I am absolutely lost. Did you mean you opened up the housing? Cause I see no aerials (are you talking about antenna's?).
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deserthucker:
The reason for this mod is I live in a remote area that Telstra Australia is the major player out here.

To get adequate coverage you need their phone with a car kit and external aerial. We travel hundreds of kilometers between towns and mine sites.

The phones on offer are very basic, make a call and that's it.

If you want the MS office features word excel and email then you really need to look at a PDA type phone.

NONE of these have an external aerial. I have searched world wide I cant find one. the only other type on offer are ones that use passive external aerials which don't work.

After some research I found a schematic of the xperia and noted the aerial connector under the speaker. This connection I still have not identified it.

Next day I purchased one to try.

Removing the bottom cover is simple just work your fingernail under it and prize it up.

Then remove 1 screw holding the speaker down. This is not just the speaker but doubles as the aerial.

You will see three sets of terminals, one for the speaker, middle one for the internal aerial. then a round one a aerial connector.

We done some test at a friends communication business, they specialise in communications for remote locations and underground mines.

By connecting the round connector to a small aerial it increased the signal strength by 200%

In a more practical test in standard mode 10km out of town signal was lost. connect the external 9db aerial 130km was achieved.

Now doing this mod a word of warning.

When you make your whole through the black speaker block it has the internal aerial taped to it.

It is hard to see but it is like a foil on the speaker block and can be torn easily and not repaired.

I done it on my first attempt. I Ordered a replacement Speaker box.

View attachment 206616

Trial using a 2.4g router aerial. Works well in bad areas.

View attachment 206617

Modified a cheap car cradle with the aerial connector to my 9db high gain car aerial.

View attachment 206618

The whole in I made in the back of the phone Cover.

View attachment 206619

The connector under the speaker only one screw to get to this.

I cant work out what type of connector this is.

I used one the same as on WIFI routers I believe they are SMA.

The socket is female and the SMA connector is also female. I use a small gold pin between them both to make contact.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firefall!:
You've bought the X1 twice because you broke it with your first try? Just to see if it works? Man what do you do for a living? :D Or: How do you live? :P
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deserthucker:
No I did not buye an X1 twice, I just got a replacement speaker unit.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deserthucker:

No I am not rich.

And what do I do, break fix warranty repairs on computers.

[Touch HD General] gyppomc1:
Had my htc a few months now, has been working perfectly, but I hit a problem recently, the power button is no long responsive, in fact it seems as if it's constantly "on" pressing it does nothing whilst the device is running, and when i restart my phone i get a window saying "You will lose any saved work if you choose to shut down" (or whatever it normally it says when you turn the phone off). Now as you can imagine this is quite frustrating, I can return the phone from stand by removing and replacing the stylus, but it's also constantly draining battery (it now lasts less than 8 hrs with nothing running).

Any ideas?
[Touch HD General] PoisonWolf:
TC,

You probably should send it in under warranty if you can. If not, you might have to open it and take a look and see where exactly is the powerbutton getting jammed.

Cheers.
[Touch HD General] traigiade:
please plugin ur charge oringinal not usb synch CP.AFTER 10min check ur device
[Touch HD General] smeddy:
Does that help? I've got the same problem, and I've read the six or so other threads on power button problems, but to no avail.

I lost my original power cable - I would buy one if it would fix the problem.

Cheers for any help, I feel like my phone's broken an arm!
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
I had the same problem. I was told to slide a thin card like a playing card under the plastic power button and gently open the gap slightly enough for you to blow hard under the button. Try blowing all around under the button from all angles. Gently lifting up button slightly. Let me know if it helps. Worked for me.
[Touch HD General] lesiohormon:

[Advantage X7510 General] padanfain:
Has anyone been able to force pandora to work on the x7510? For some reason it appears that pandora is checking the model of the phone and rejecting ones that it doesn't feel should work. I can't understand why they would do this... their desktop software doesn't check to make sure I am using an HP or a Dell...
[Advantage X7510 General] frnkboz:
Pandora works great on my X7510.
[Advantage X7510 General] adamo86:
sori for this question

whats pandora
[Advantage X7510 General] NeilM:
admo86: "Whats Pandora"

Pandora is essentially a streaming radio station program.

Unfortunately, it will only work in USA now due to copyright problems which are currently insurmountable.

Some PCs connecting via a US based proxy may still be able to connect, but non-US mobile devices, and PCs not connecting via a proxy will be identified by their IP address and routing, and denied access.

I managed to load the CAB file (thanks frnkboz!) but got the 'Not in USA' message.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gardndj:
The developer of BeyondPod - possibly one of the best podcatcher/RSS readers available - has decided to focus more on the Android platform and less on WinMo. As anyone who has tried to use BeyondPod on any of the 6.5 builds knows, there are a number of issues with the way it renders feeds (missing scroll bars, no text size control, no finger scrolling, etc). Basically the program needs to be updated to support the new version of IE in 6.5.

This would also be an oppurtunity for anyone interested in the future of BeyondPod on WinMo to take over its development. The project is open source, and there are a number of possible improvements that could make this app even better (feed search, apptodate support, homescreen plugin, etc). The dev would be more than happy to have the help.

Couple links here:

Anyone interested in tackling this project? Or is there an even better alternative out there for those of us who want to get our podcast on?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheDaddy:
No one cares? Or maybe I'm one of the few that do?

Guess I need to teach myself some programming skills . . .
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jeremy89632:
Im using BeyondPod, great podcast software!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheDaddy:
You might be using it now, but won't be for long . . . if you upgrade to WM6.5 or many cooked ROMs of WM6.1. That's the point of this thread.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jeremy89632:
Can we try to petition or email them?

At least write an app for wm 6.5.

Than that will be ok.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheDaddy:
Dude. Read the first post carefully. And follow the links.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] S200guy:
I liked beyondpod but switched to speeedreader due to google reader sync. they should actually talk with each other, both have great features, combined it would be a killer app..

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bruceo:
Speedreader is no comparison to beyondpod. Beyondpod is the best software i've found by far for managing audio podcasts, multiple auto downloads, intuitive interface and integrated player with great playback and bookmarking features. I'm surprised more people are not aware of this awesome software and if anything out there is close or better I would like to know. I would almost abandon 6.5 just for Beyondpod, but 6.1 scrolling is so terrible that i cant do it. Beyondpod is one piece of software that would actually be worth paying for if it weren't already offered for free.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xhozt:
SECOND that ... i would do it but I am no coder ... BOunty perhaps? or how can we get it done ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jeremy89632:
The name defines, BEYONDPOD.

So yeah, this app is good.

Runs quite well on wm6,5, have to use the Dpad to scroll up and down though.

Able to download, listen and play audio and video and see podcast listing in wm 6.5
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bruceo:
Was there an update? I have had at least 15 6.5 roms flashed and the content view in beyondpod was not working therefore rendering it useless for downloading. Sometimes you could see content view the first time you brought it up, but it would not refresh if you scrolled and would be blank the next time.

I would be up to adding to a bounty if necessary
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jeremy89632:
Oh, I dont notice this issue, as what you mentioned work perfectly fine, (Surprisingly:eek:) on my device.

I will check out and see how it goes.

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Torack:
Hi All,

jeremy89632 is right, if you just use your Dpad then the error doesn't occur. Another option I have found is that if you use the update and download option then that works as well.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SimpTheChimp:
I'm a .NET programmer and I think this is written in .NET. Let me take a peek at the source code for a few days and then I'll let you know if it is something I might want to tackle. I do a TON of development work in .NET but nothing on the mobile platform yet - this might be interesting. Plus, I've been looking for a good RSS/podcast reader myself! :)

/Chimp (Tom)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bruceo:
Tom, Def check it out it rocks for audio podcasts.

I seem to have found a temp workaround, which tells me a solution cannot be far off. When I go into content view and cannot see the content or it is messed up. I just switch my touch pro to landsacpe and the view is fine abd I can use the dpad to scroll. I will ususally just shift right back to landscape and the view remains perfect but dpad wont scroll until I first touch the screen, then it will dpad scroll with no problem. I can click and download feeds with no problem. I reduced the large text size in beyondpod settings. All the podcasts manage and playback fine but the volume is much lower than normal hard to hear even with mediaplayer and system volume at max. Volume in my other apps and mediaplayer is very loud as normal.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SimpTheChimp:
It it more complex than I thought. Also, is this only for a SmartPhone? Or is also for a WM Professional device? When I finally got it loaded into VS2008 it only showed a SmartPhone device.

I'll keep playing with it.

Chimp (Tom)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bruceo:
Definitely PPC touchscreens. On 6.1 it was pretty flawless and fairly finger friendly.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SimpTheChimp:
Hmm... It is definately showing up as a Smartphone only when I load it. I'll have to figure out how to switch it over to a PPC device (and also support a SmartPhone).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jeremy89632:
Well, as this app is for the touchscreen users, it is easier to squash bugs for users rather than to create a smartphone version and cause issues.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nvrMind:
I downloaded the code, as well... I got it to successfully compile and run in the WM6.5 Pro emulator (with the stated problems). You need to change the target platform to WM 6 Pro.

Like you said, the code is really complex, but I kind of understand why, it's a great program, and I've missed it since I finally got 6.5 on my i910...

I don't have a lot of spare time, but I'll try to tackle this thing...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xhozt:
nah its ppc as well i have run it on my blackjack and my new incite .. but i wanna get my incite running on 6.5 but this is a dealbreaker .. reason no dpad on my incite .
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xhozt:
please dont go out of the way to bust it for smartphones ,, :mad:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bruceo:
Hope you guys get it figured out. I'd hate to see this app die. Nothing else comes close for audio podcast management and playback
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xawen:
I use this software every day and had no idea it may be abandoned. I also do a fair amount of .net work and have played with a bit of mobile development.

To the guys that were taking a look at it, keep us updated. If you want any help, or don't want to mess with the code I'll see what I can do.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] weevil_:
This is far and away the best WM podcast app out there. But that said the Google reader stuff is broken and it is not as finger friendly as it could be.

If someone could put a little loving into this app it could be awesome.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] a.picchetti:
using beyondpod on the incite

i don't really know what a dpad is but the incite has a scroll wheel on the right upper side. I had never used it before but it works great as a method to scroll thru the episode lists. i didn' t have any other ixsues with beyondpod in 6.5.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xhozt:
on a smartphone that is great on a "pro" with no keys its a killer even if there is a scroll wheel ..

Yep, it's a pain on a Touch Pro 2.

Would love to help, but I don't have the necessary skills. Would be willing to donate, though.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gmanunited:
I like Beyondpod too. It is a great RSS reader. I like that you can stream podcasts but it only likes TCPMP as the stream player. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem on WinMo.

I have also got a chance to use the lite version on Android. Basically the same as what we have been using for a while. Great App...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=555522&page=2

....BeyondPod & UpToDate both have this issue. The guys with UpToDate have figured it out. The "Fix UptoDate" cab that is posted works for me on any new ROMs that don't support BeyondPod out of the box.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nonpaq:
I tried the "fix UpToDate" CAB file from the other thread, and it does restore the old IE browsing to the feed view for BeyondPod, but at the cost of breaking IE6. Not a problem if you use a different browser like Opera.

I took apart the Mortscript at the end of that thread (listed as an alternative to using "Fix UpToDate" CAB) and noticed that it sets a registry before launching "UpToDate", or sets the reg again before launching IE6. Looks like a registry fix to activate or deactivate the correct browser functions in BeyondPod.

The reg entry for the fix is :

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2}\InprocServer32]

@="shdocvw2.dll"

"ThreadingModel"="both"

The reg entry to restore is:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2}\InprocServer32]

@="shdocvw.dll"

"ThreadingModel"="both"

[Note @ is the default key]

The difference is setting the CLSID from shdocvw.dll to shdocvw2.dll and back. Warning: if you install "Fix UpToDate", the registry method does not work. I was unable to "uninstall" the fix cab to test just the reg entries.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nonpaq:
I figured out what all of these "Fixes" were doing, and tried a new fix.

OK, after a hard reboot to restore my IE6 and BeyondPod problem, I extracted the shdocvw.DLL file that gets installed with the "Fix UpToDate" CAB, and just copied it into the folder where BeyondPod is installed. Now IE6 launches just fine and BeyondPod Feed view has the old style browser look. It seems that the local copy of the dll in the application directory causes it to be used instead of the dll in the systems drectory.

Please test this to confirm, Attached is just the shdocvw.DLL that works with BeyondPod. Unzip it and copy to your BeyondPod directory.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] John Charles:
I'm no programmer but this is one of my essential apps.

If anyone does take this on I'd be happy to help out with testing or whatever else might assist.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nonpaq:
Test the fix I posted above. UnZip the file shdocvw.dll and copy it to the directory you installed BeyondPod to on your phone (most likely /Program Files/BeyondPod )
