Antivirus

There are several antivirus prog for handheld devices (Kasersky , McAfee etc) search Google buy or use a trial version and check your device

If infected after removing virus it is better to format SD card

[Touch GSM General] ltwk85:
oic...bt does hard reset clear memory card storage oso??..if i wan 2 do a hard reset, hw to backup all those thg in de phone??..

bt install de antivirus will take up more memory and slow down the phone??
[Touch GSM General] jeremy89632:
Yes, hard reset also clear memory too.

but to be extra safe, flashing is a better bet.

Flash to stock htc rom.
[Touch GSM General] sasa66:
Hard reset clears your phone completely

to backup your data you can

Use SPB backup(I had it on HTC software disc in thge box) this will back all your settings ,contacts , messages and programs into an exe file on SD card after hard reset run it and everything is there again BUTif the cause is virus or bad programe it will retun to so i prefer that you dont backup programs

PIMbackup is also a free tool to back your messages and contacts only

Hello,

I got an offer about orange best plan review, so I could pay less. But I suppose when you accept the best offer your contract extends for 6 months, right?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Not necessarily. I had my contract changed to reduce my overall spending per month using best plan and my contract did not extend. I would talk to Orange operator about this and best plan and he/she would be able to advise you more.

I got this in India, does anybody know where I can find this same ROM, somewhere on HTC websites? or if anybody has it already can please share?

Also, checked HTC Asia wbesite, and the latest version of ROM I can find is 1.40 only :(

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] rling:
All depends on how urgently is your need to scratch the itch to upgrade the ROM of the phone. My new TD2 lasted 4 days before it was flashed... The dump is needed if you need to restore the phone for warranty purposes etc.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] satishkbg:
Hi

I'm trying to back up my stock ROM 1.43.720.1 (51718) WWE using xdatools and KovskyKitchen. The KovskyKitchen requires a stock ROM .nbh file to be in the Baserom folder. The one I could find here in this Topaz ROM dev forum is older ver i.e. RUU_Topaz_HTC_WWE_1.39.405.2_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61.20t.25.10_3.43.25.19_Ship.

My question is, suppose I use this in KovskyKitchen along with my stock ROM raw files, does it package with my stock rom or the older one?

Regards

Ok this may be a dumb question, and quite possibly Im missing something simple.

I have my email set to download the full message I'm on an unlimited data plan and mainly use the data plan for my email. so i'm not worried about data usage.

however my onto my question, when you open an email, a yellow bar at the top of the screen says "Internet Pictures Blocked"

I know its simple, and all you need to do is click the yellow bar, you read the message that says "To protect your privacy, pictures from the Internet are not automatically downloaded"

Bellow the message you click "download Internet pictures"

Easy, Simple, Almost hassle free, I know all that.

But not quiet Hassle free. and it had slowly became the thing that bugs me most about opening my mail.

Again I know Im probably missing something that is so simple most people don't even need to ask how to do it. But is there a way to make it download the full email including the images.

Iv'e had the x1 since it came out here in Britain, and maybe I should have asked earlier rather than, let it bug me every day. But I haven't because it felt like it was a setting i have not configured correctly. and i was just being stupid wasting peoples time with such a simple question.

But I put my hands in the air, I cant find it , I don't know how to do it. I give up. Can someone tell me what I'm not doing correct, and put me out of my misery lol

Thanks in advance for any help

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatmonk:
That's a standard feature on most email clients these days.

It's there so that spammers can't hide your email address in an image request - basically the images generated by a script that confirms that your email address is valid.

When your email address is confirmed as valid its more valuable to sell on to spammers as a 'confirmed active' address.

You should only ever allow images to be downloaded from email that you are expectingand where you know the sender - therefore in any email the images will be blocked initially.

Full blown email clients may have a 'white list' for senders addresses that you will automatically allow images from, but not Pocket Outlook unfortunately.

Hope this helps,

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] one_mad_punk:
Is there a way to bypass that?

My x1 reads the email from 1 folder in my email account. spam, junk and items i don't require to check when out and about, are in other folders of the account and i check those when i get home.

Its just the emails that make it to this approved folder i check on the phone. and it would be good for the full email an images to be downloaded.

However i presume from what you are saying, that even tho i have taken precautions to filter and separate non important emails, that it is still in my best interest and for my own protection that the x1 does not download the images with the rest of the email. and that there is no actual way to change this setting

Thanks for your quick reply

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] GAlves:
Hi,

I don't know about flashing with vista (I'm a mac user) but you should try to flash from internal memory. It's safer, and it's waaaaaaaaay faster (2 min. max).

You need to hard spl first (as usual) and then you need to rename the ROM file (the .nbh one) to DIAMIMG.NBH and place it in the root of the internal memory of your diamond. After just put it into bootloader (vol. down + back key + soft reset) and it will ask you if you want to proceed with the flash. Press the power button and off it goes.

Remember,

this is done at your own risk, and if you are not sure about what you're doing... dont do it!

ALWAYS hard spl first, backup your original ROM (as well as personal data). And please, read all the flashing guides first

There are some diferences between devices, I mooved from a prophet to an elf to the diamond and each has his own specifics, and you should know them all by heart...

Good luck and good flashes
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Sergio PC:
Internal Flash

Save your self all the greef and just flash from internal memory.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ghostdweller:
flashing from internal mem is of course faster

but if you take into account the time it takes to copy the rom to the internal mem it's just about the same. imo
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] night-mayor:
I got to read all 1000+ posts on ways to un-brick wizard devices which are mainly intended for G4 users . And the claims that G3 never bricks. However I couldnt see an effective mean to un-brick it , there was an attempt that made it to sticky that should be realy removed as it failed and no one is interested in carrying on with it (a sad story realy , you have to read 200+ posts to get there).

Now the question is , what is a brick ?

a brick is a device that wont power up through any mean nutral or based on a back door (ex: Camera+Power , Send+Power , End+Power, Com+Speed Dial+Power.. etc) so to note , if your device can wake up at any of these methodes , it is not a brick. It would rather be fixed easily.

How would a device reach such state ?

Hardware fault , the device got physicaly damaged.

Software fault , the device lost its IMEI (the device serial number , would survive if corrupted only if IMEI figure is of same number of digits).

How would a device lose its IMEI ?

IMEI of wizard device is written within same memory that holds the SPL/IPL (device bios in pc language), which could easily be lost in case of flashing a G3 SPL/IPL on a G4 board since the memory address of the G4 IMEI is different to that of G3 and would be over-written by G3 SPL/IPL.

Would this happen to G3 devices too ?

It is rare since no G4 (SPL/IPL) roms are released except from carriers and they are very cautious at reviewing device ids (another name for IMEI ;) when it comes to G4 cause G4 was specificaly designed to be a locked phone.

Then would a G3 be bricked ?

Yes , current alteration/failier during the writing phase of the SPL/IPL would lead to corruption of such memory. also faulty batteries can get the device there on the long run.

Can the devices be fixed ?

Ever heard of cloneing ? If you can clone 2 device memories then you can get it to un-brick as simple as that , only both devices are going to have the same IMEI which can be fixed later via IMEI changing utilities.

What's the problem then ?

How can you access the device if it wont even start ? there is a need to communicate with the device and at which , one thread suggested finding the test points of the mother board so that they would use it to write a valied IPL/SPL memory dump to the IPL/SPL memory.

So ?

This process relies heavily on true understanding of Wizard board and sad enough it has to be leaked and not acquired (not unless we are with an extra ordinary mentality)

Does this mean a brick is dead ?

Ok can you get the board replaced in a first / second / third party shop ? if so then you saved your self a load of hassel , as would you realy build up a cable interface ? and where would you get a valied memory dump ? and what software to use to communicate with a wizard board ?

So you see , the wizard is 7 years old now , and its hard to assume that such data would be leaked atm as it wasnt leaked back when the wizard was a star. so yes , too bad you will have to buy a board .. or there is someone who can prove me wrong .. cheers

ps sorry i did not mean to start 2 threads i blame the server.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] -Jonny-:
sdhc is incorporated into most recent ROMs. You'll find it in Settings\System\SD Settings. If not, then do a search for this, by OllieD.

for VGA you most probably need a ROM build with it in. There is a cab for it, but I don't know that it's compatible with all ROMs - usual way is to install and see! You can get cab here. I doubt it works for WM6.5, but let us know the results! You may glean more information here (which I found by looking in the Wiki).

Hi to all,i've got a rectangular spot on my diamond's lcd:it's similar to "oil under sun" effect,something like a rainbow...it's almost not visible directly,but it gets very evident under direct light,but it would be nothing,the real problem is that touch response is quite inaccurate in that zone (and it takes all the middle part of the lcd).

I guess that "something" got pressed on "something else" (maybe the touch part with the screen itself),is there a way i can solve it avoiding warranty waiting?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] s_ibiza98:
Hi...

i got the same "oil" problem as well,

went down to HTC Service Center in SGP.

was informed that this phenomenon,

is due to "excessive pressure" on the screen...

& it is a "wear & tear" issue...

so its not cover by HTC warranty...

To rectified the problem,

means to change the LCD display, costing about S$200 .

& the problem will still come back again...

Customer Service informed that this issue will not interfere with any functions.

so i decided to live with it...
