Hi guys, my first post in here...

i have a problem regarding my HTC touch HD.

In the contacts tab, i have noticed that the contact pictures which are saved in the favourites have been downgraded, they seem fuzzy as if the quality has decreased. Trying to erase them all and inserting news pictures appears to solve the problem but only temporarily, soon the quality decreases again and it becomes fuzzy (not as sharp) . please help.

thanks in advance :)

Contact Photos

You'll find the answer (and lots of other info) if you look in the Wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_tboy2000)
[Touch HD General] ozmoran:
It depends how you selected the pic as your contact photo

If you use the camera tab and then select your pic and select it as contact photo from there it is a better quality

Hope that is clear enough
[Touch HD General] alien79:
tahnks guys, i had a look at the wiki link, i think i know what the problem is now. IThis problem only appeared after i synched my gmail contacts to the phone, then the pictures appeared fuzzy. If can only know how to reverse this problems and delete the synchronization i think it may solve the problem.

but thanks a million !

[Touch Cruise General] masinfira:
Hi,

I have a special problem with my Polaris. When I´m GPRS connecting to internet, my phone spontaneously restarts. There is no rule after what time, sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after 1 hour. I have made hard reset, of course, I haven´t installed any program, I used only Opera or Internet sharing applications in WM. I have official ROM, new SIM card and I never installed unofficial ROM. I sent it to guarantee service twice, they tested it about 1 hour, but the fault didn´t occured them.

Has someone the same problem and how can I solve it?

Hello,

i have a problem with my Alarm Clock on Android 1.5.

Tomorrow my Alarm Clock was not ringing or vibrating in any way. I thought, ok, i didnt hear anything... But the strange thing is, that the lock screen still show "Wednesday 5:30PM" (I live in Germany).

If the alarm clock was on and i didnt hear it, should it be on "Thursday 5:30PM".

So i think it hangs, or something like that...

Any ideas?

Greetings,

Chris
[G1 Apps and Games] fatboyfatboyfatboy:
I have a Problem with my clock, too.

Because my intern memory (ROM) was to low.

It was about 15MB.

I think it is to low for the clock.

Deinstall some apps and test it again.

I got a replacement phone from Sprint and now I cannot connect to any wireless routers..Pls help!!:confused:
[Mogul, XV6800 General] JuanCMe:
But what happen with your wifi? which ROM are you using, Radio, etc.? Please try to be more specific with the description of your problem so we can help you.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] gvern69:
My wifi used to work great until I upgraded the phone to the MR2 update. I would turn the switch on and it would keep the wireless icon in the top of the screen with no connection to a wireless network. I tried to go back to MR1 update but to no avail. I took the phone to Verizon and they told me the wifi chip must have burned out during the upgrade and that it was not their problem and would not replace the phone. I had to go through insurance and pay $50 to get another phone.

My wifi was working fine up until a couple weeks after I flashed a new ROM. So it was working with the new ROM then suddenly it stopped. At first I thought maybe I dropped it and broke the wifi chip, so I was preparing my negotiation skills to call Bell and get some data plan. Then suddenly today - out of the blue - I was showing off some new features to a buddy at work and suddenly the wifi started working again! WTF!

Did you enter the "key", or is your network open to all?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] swordfish2:
Well, I am not complaining. I am surprised and I am here to share with you all my battery backup.

I have last charged my phone 4 days back and I still have half of that green bar left.

Its been some 8 months or more that I am using my phone and the battery backup never lasted more than a Day. I use to charge every night and the battery use to drop to less than 25% by the late night. I didn't panic though. I use to read about others experience on the battery backup and given the features and usefulness of the phone, i have no regrets what so ever.

I didnt upgrade anything on my phone including the ROM,

But I am quite surprised that its been 4days that I last charged and the battery is still at 50% and my usage didn't change a bit.

Am I going to get the backup that the HTC spec talks about? :cool:

Guess what? my GPRS is not working for some reason since a week now and i believe that is helping the battery. When the GPRS was working, it always use to be on air and even if I disconnect, it reconnects and stays that way because of automatic email checking.

But if it is really the GPRS, how do i live without that when the device itself is build for messaging and emailing? How do I optimize this?

What do you think ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mstevens:
What "battery backup" are you using? Is this an external battery pack that you plug in?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] swordfish2:
No stevens, i am using the default battery that came with the HTC.

By saying Battery backup, i mean the standby time.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Scalage:
In diamond tweak you can choose to disconnect your data connection after not using it for 10 sec. through to 10 min. Try this, works just fine on my TP.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mthomas:
pointless thread please delete

of course the battery lasts if the radio is turned off
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] petard:
Automatic email checking uses a LOT of power so it is not wonder your battery lasts longer when it is disabled.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Scalage:
I'm not talking about turning the radio off, I'm talking about turning data connection (GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA) off. It's a different thing mate.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] wanwarlock:
also turning off 3g will make the battery last longer since it doesn't constantly look for 3g signal
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mputtr:
as the guys here stated, as long as you turn off (or that they're off by default) the data connections and gps,your battery should last a good amount of time.
[Touch Pro CDMA] sdkvang:
Hi Guys,

I've been combing through this site and PPCGeeks for a week now with no success, so I though I ask. I can not get my GPS to work, I'm beginning to think that this phone (VZW Touch Pro) doesn't come with a GPS.

This is what I tried so far. I made sure my GPS setting is set to ON in the phone settings. QuickGPS downloaded the satellite list, installed and ran HTC GPS Tool per the instructions loadshadowz. I've downloaded and install PHM Registry Editor and edited my registry files. I've also downloaded and installed bored's GPS fix. Also read that someone had luck using com3 instead of 4, so I tried coms0-5 with no luck. :confused:

I flash my phone with Mighty ROM 5.

Thanks

Just wanted to say that the title of the thread had me laughing to myself for a little while.

I was thinking to myself, "odd that some poor soul is lost somewhere, and his GPS is failing on him, but he had the presence of mind to post on xda-developers to get help." :D

Godspeed, sdkvang.
[Touch Pro CDMA] kubla1:
Here is another poor soul.

I did the Verizon MR1 (2) update, bought an external GPS receiver, and NO GPS. It appears that I am not getting the bluetooth receiver to pair up with my Touch Pro and I don't see any GPS on Google Maps except when my data connection is running. I keep shutting it off, but it comes back on.

Am I doing something wrong? If so, could someone tell me what it is and how to correct it.

Thanks
[Touch Pro CDMA] IDrinkV8:
After applying GPS Fix for Verizon, you can use internal GPS. No need to buy external one. Verizon locked it out by software means and the receiver itself is inside the phone. You just have to unlock it by that fix and then download GoogleMaps for Windows Mobile device. If it shows you that version for your phone is not available the go to m.google.com using PC Computer and download generic Windows Mobile cab file. Seems like google is unaware that Verizon unlocked GPS receiver and still thinks it's incompatible. Probably because our (Verizon) phones introduce themselves as Raph500 instead of Raph800 as all other TPs.

I myself downloaded MR1 V2.0 release from here and guarantee it works. Just backup your contacts etc since this is complete ROM from Verizon so you WILL loose everything that is on the phone (Storage Card is safe and won't be erased).

Let me know

Hello everyone, well, I will explain my problem, The Wifi in my Titan used to work great, but as it is a little old, it have some hardware problems, actually the answer green button doesn't works, but I have no problem with it, the real problem is that the Wifi switch don't want to work anymore, I now it because after some days after it happened, I open the phone, turn it on, and try the switch, it only worked with a very big preassure, but now, after some days, it's fully dead, I have allready tried using the 10 Buttons Comm Manager, but when I click the Wifi won't work, there appears the dildo-like image in the top of the screen but only about 2 seconds, and then it just go and the Wifi is still of, so I'm asking for your help, what can I do? Thanks in advanced.

Ah, I was forgetting to tell you that here in Mexico there are no service for any HTC because it is not usual to see here one of these excelent phones.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
You won't get wifi to work if the switch is broken in the off position. Your only option is to get a new one.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] gvern69:
My wifi used to work great until I upgraded the phone to the MR2 update. When it restarted, it would do exactly as yours. I would turn the switch on and it would keep the wireless icon in the top of the screen with no connection to a wireless network. I tried to go back to MR1 update but to no avail. I took the phone to Verizon and they told me the wifi chip must have burned outduring the upgrade and that it was not their problem and would not replace the phone.

Same problem here. It seems to be more then just coincidence here. It cannot be that so many people are having the same problem at almost the same time experiencing the same symptoms.

Well, finally after some research, without any results, I decided to work my self, so I disasembly the back of my Titan, rid of the useless swtich and build a bridge with a copper wire from the terminals and now it works perfectly!!

Of course the problem is that is it too dangerous and to be honest I don't recommend to do this, but if you try it, you will have to be prepared with a 10 buttons comm manager, because with every reboot, the wifi wil be turned on, I know that this is not a good solution, but here in Mexico there are not service for HTC.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] crapgame99:
Hello folks,

I figured I would go to the experts to get an answer to my question.

On my universal I was running Windows Mobile 6.1, I didn't really like it as the phone was unstable, so I downgraded to Tmobile Windows Mobile 5 (which is what ships on the phone) everything is running smooth (Shout out to SPB Shell 3.0 AWESOME!!!)

anyways after the downgrade which went through without incident, my SD card reader does not SD cards, I know it is not hardware because it worked fine when the device was running WM6.1.

Anyome have any ideas as to what happened?

the device simply does not recognize any size, 32MB all the way to 2GB.

I have searched and found nothing.

Anyone have an updated driver for the SDCard reader?

I have extRom installed so I can put whatever I want into EXTRom and have it install.

Crapgame
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] -Jonny-:
It's because native WM5 can't use SDHC (SD cards are only up to 2GB). I think you can simply install SD settings by OllieD - where you can change to Type 1 or 2. Sorry unless someone else can help, you'll have to search for it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] justrome0:
I think i have the same issue.

The device sometimes see the card when set to standard SD or SDHC Type-I but it's really inconsistent.

Driving me nuts.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cycloid:
I had a similar problem, i had to eject and reinsert the card multiple times to get it to see it. The card SEEMED fine because it would work in my pc (via usb adapter)) and digital camera with no problems. But when i tried the one from the camera in the universal it worked fine, absolutely no problems.

So I bought a new sandisk one from ebay and all has been fine since, seems like it was being picky about the original SD!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] tinti93:
i think, the sd card is formatted fat16 :)

you formatted with "Haret"?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] crapgame99:
Haret?

Sorry for the noob question, but what do you mean?

I have tried formatting the card fat16, fat32, NTFS

nothing works

I have even tried install SD settings by OllieD adn that did not work

according to the specs I should be able to use my 2GB Sandisk Extreme III 2.0 GB SD Card, but alas my uni just does not see it.

any other suggerstions tips?

Also does spbsoftwarehouse's backup work really well?

I want to try some other ROMS on the device and I dread having to reinstall everything and reconfigure it too.

I would much rather back the dang thing up then experiment with various ROMS and then if nothing is to my liking, put my old ROM back with all my 'stuff'.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Sokko:
I have similiar problem.

In the past I have changed many ROM's from Tomal and many others. WM 5, 6.1, 6.5 and never had a problem with the card.

My last ROM where everything worked was Luca15thebig. After that I wanted to go back to Tomal V8.9 and then my problem started:

I did DOC format (always do that), put Tomal's ROM - ups, no SD card (with any SD card settings).

Did some searching on the forum, found similiar problem which was solved by flashing some factory shipped i-mate ROM. Again, DOC format, flashing that ROM (it is all-in-one ROM: radio, ext-rom and operating system). Booted that system (wow, time-warp to past :D), frankly I didnt expect that my 8GB SDHC will work there - and it didnt.

Again DOC format> flashing Tomal V8.9 ROM> upgrading radio (that i-mate ROM reverted it back to 1.03). After a while booted Uni with Tomal's ROM, no SD card. Tried all settings, nothing.

Tried same thing but with that new Thing V2.3 ROM (very fast and stable BTW). Same thing - no SD card in file explorer.

My card works in my laptop. I even tried to format it in laptop - and my Uni still dont see it.

My friend has an Uni and I tried that card in his device. It works (he is using Tomal V8.7 ROM). Tried his 1GB SD card in my Uni - not working in my device.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] boxchevy:
Im no specialist but i think you guys have a hardware issue with the SD port. Maybe loose or something inside. Hope thats not the case. If multiple cards using multiple Roms do not work in Uni but work anywhere else then I would have someone or myself check to make sure the SD slot is soldered properly still.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cheapusenet:
i've encounted many issues with the SD + sdhc drivers for the universal, i'llw rite up a longer post with more information later as i've had a long day.

summary: keep trying different cabs, one will eventually work. make sure its formatted FAT32. popping it in and out+softresetitng a few times may be required.

hi all, would like to ask if anyone have any experience editing thread_sms.htm other than just to change the size of the sms input box?

I experimented changing the other parameters in the file and it's corresponding css file but none of the changes took effect.

I am aware of the need to remove the system and read only attribute before editing.

Any one has any ideas to share?

if we can edit these 2 files, we might be able to do some minimal skinning for the sms app.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lucarp78:
In file thread_sms.htm search the parameter height and set the value = 70 instead of 35 or 30 (not remember the original value). Restart pda and you will have a input text box for tree line text.

For change file you need to copy it in your PC and after recopy to pda, using resco explorer or total command.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] breakaway8:
erm. i think you misread my question. I know how to change the height of the sms box. I am asking if anyone has experience changing the other values?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lovinher:
Hmm. You tried changing which parameters? If it can be skinned with html, it will be marvellous!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] player911:
I've tried many roms and none have any special modifications that I am aware of. It would be cool to have it skinnable
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_deimos:
You can customize font colors via the read_style.css stylesheet, and i've also seen someone put a background image in the sms view. It was just generic html code. I don't remember the details, but i saw the thread about it here, on xda-devs.

Try searching the forum for read_sms.html

Hello

I have a HTC Touch Dual 850 (Australian Telstra Neon 200). I have loaded the Niki port of android using haret and it work except for the Android Menu key which is used for unlocking the screen, so I cant unlock the screen. I have used haret in an attempt to work out the key mapping. It looked to me that 237 was the the result of pressing the camera key so I edited board-htcnike-keypad.h with "#define KEY_ANDROID_MENU	237" and recompiled the kernel but nothing seemed to change. Can someone point me in the right direction to get the Android menu button working or get around it some how?
