Hey all.

Just thought I'd post my experience here.

After owning my uni for a few years, I thought it was about time to give it a make over.

My main annoyance was the hinge pieces / spine where the paint had chipped off. I tried touch up pen........ looked worse.

Googled and ebayed but all I could find was housings only.

Eventually I just took the paint off and, after several applications of Autosol.....WOW! Shines like a mirror! I'm shocked that no one i here has tried this.

Next task is to use the old housing's exterior metal branding as a template and put a chrome piece in the new cover (on the spv m5000 housing)

I'll post some pics as it progresses.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] -Jonny-:
please do, sounds great. what is Autosol?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] enigma1nz:
That sounds interesting! Can't wait for results. Please keep us posted.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] karlbarclay:
Autosol is metal polish in a tube. Really good stuff.

I'm sending the phone of for the 128mb upgrade before renewing / modding the housing.

Decided on aluminium for the outer branding and found a guy to machine it.

Any of you guys know if you can get silver buttons (camera, volume etc) for the uni or will I have to get them plated?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] TallPaul86:
I too can personally vouch for how good Autosol is ;-) its about £5 or so from Halfords iirc

BTW karl where have you sent your phone off to to get the 128mb upgrade done? And for how much can i ask?

Cheers
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] karlbarclay:
I've been contacting a guy called Joe at retronix uk ltd.

Very helpful he's been.

He quoted £80.00 to do it. They want the entire phone (not just the board) and the charger. They also want a 128mb rom loaded on so they can test it once it's upgraded.

Payment is going to be by debit card.

Hope that's enough info for you.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] karlbarclay:
I dont suppose anyone has an mda pro keyboard and toggle button (one next to the screen) spare / for sale?

Ordered the housing of fleebay but without the above.

Cheers all

I'm interested in the upgrade, and would like to know something more about the shipping options... do I have to contact them directly or PM you, or whatever?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] karlbarclay:
I think it's better to contact directly.

No harm in it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] bradipo.xda:
(sorry for the little OT)

I'm in contact with the Italian partner of Retronix, trying to get an affordable price to get the upgrade done. If someone else from Italy is interested can contact me, chances are that we can get discounts for quantity...

sorry again for the OT,

cheers to all

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Monster-Energy:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Dutchprop:
Simple...

Just install the "change screen" application, it has a function (Screen off on face down) you can turn on that when you turn your device with screen down, screen turns of and music continues.

Suppose to be simple right , i click on "Call History" then i get a list of all the calls, so far so good then i click on the right side icon to view the entire history of infividual, then at the bottem i click on "Menu" i get the option "Delete all" then i need to click on "yes" to confirm my choice, but nothing happens the individual and all of that persons history stays, only solution i found was "clear call logs" but that deletes everything.

Anyone have a solution for this little thing that is bugging the heck out of me?

Thanks

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bbezja1:
Yesterday at a concert i was nervous because i cannot film dark places with my phone but i tried anyway. I started the camera, used on/off to put phone in standby and soon after called it back to life to check time. i pressed the camera button to delete the video but the camera started overlaying today screen and i saw it was working perfect in total darknes where lights flashed here and there.

this is new to me but i was able to film almost a full hour without glithing.

can you ppl with different ROMs duplicate this?

so i was thinking.. there must be something that starts/stops when you put phone to standby while camera is working.. cant we just make the phone start/stop that everythime we press camera button (when we find out what it is)?

call me idiot or whatever if what im saying is wrong :)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] rofi03:
i noticed the same behavior some months ago, probably with a different ROM. didn't have an answer for this
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bbezja1:
topic has 51 views and only your reply. looks like its "normal" i guess :confused:

but with latest pcarvalho rom my TC is perfect, only camera sucks
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kostas244:
1.Open your camera..

2.Put your fingers in front of the len

3.push the power button to bring device to stand by,and after 4 seconds,

push again to wake the phone.

4.Now release your fingers from the len and you have a very quick camera.

If you can't do it with the first time ,follow the steps and do it again:)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] hanci:
its working great

is there any way to work always... after close camera and open again you must do it again....
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bbezja1:
there is no need of holding your finger infront of camera or whatever its only done by standby->wakeup. but you have to be in darker-than-full-daylight place and it only works while you point at dark. if you point to light the thing somehow resets and its all over again.

i posted this because i want to know if we can somehow force this behaviour to allways. i am sure this is just a minor flaw in code. any programmer here with any ideas about this?

This is the one i followed for rooting and then applying ROM's

However i would stay away from the Hero ROM's just for now, until they can slim them down a bit - its very slow on the 192mb Magics. Looks great however
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Roy_Drage:
Try disabling Touchflo, that way you get all the benefits from the Hero ROM, better apps etc but you lose most of the sluggishness.

You'll also loose all the HTC widgets, but you still maintain the multi-touch.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Connor.McLeod:
Getting my D2 delivered to me tomorrow.

Reading the threads, I wonder is it fair to say the D2 quality can vary a lot? I see messages suggesting very different performance on Wifi, vibration mode etc which seem to vary among devices. More fascinating is that it seems many mods (ROM, .cab etc) are suggested to improve the devices.

With all these mods mentioned in the threads, how do I tell if my D2 has some/all these fixes when I receive it (i.e. can I tell from the revision of the ROM code?)?

Does the Touch Diamond registry tweaks / .cab apply to D2?

Finally, being a newbie to HTC and getting a new D2, I may not always do the right thing with the mods. As such, does the hard reset always able to bring me back to the factory setting? What if I messed up the IPL/SPL? Will hard reset still able to recover the device from it?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sualc:
It depends on the ROM version you will receive in your device,may be recent or may be old if it was held in stores' stocks for a long time. Anyway applying a fix to an existing one doesn't harm.Furthermore official fixes are so few that you can easily verify if you need them.

Not always, but most of the time they work, actually the most used tweak programs (AdvancedConfig and HDTweak) are not Topaz specific but so useful.With time more specific .cab and apps will come out..

No, hard reset would bring you to a brand new configuration of the ROM currently installed, to get back to your factory settings you will need to reflash your device with the original ROM and eventually remove hardspl if you need to send it back for assistance under warranty.

Personal note: I've been flashing hundreds of times different htc devices and I must say that it's almost impossible to mess up with hardspl and topaz, fast&reliable. Just do things calmly as explained in related threads.

Cheers
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Connor.McLeod:
Thanks for your help.

Surely I won't start modifying my D2 until after a few weeks of using it to see if I really experience any issues with it. As with all beginners I better read up on the FAQs and other threads before posting repeated / obvious question here :P But really, after seeing a thread on IPL/SPL I will want to be 100% sure before I flash the ROM.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glen L:
Just wondering, what does it stand for?

also what's the difference between Radio and SPL?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jashsu:
SPL = Second Program Loader. its a part of the bootloader, the code which runs before your os is loaded.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=455860

The radio is a term generally applied to the software/realtime operating system which runs on the cpu core that operates the gsm/umts/etc radio. On most phones, the applications and the gsm stack run on different cores because the timing requirements for the gsm stack make it unsuitable to run on the same core as applications.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glen L:
thanks for the information.
[Palm Treo 750] BJYourk:
I recently bought a Vodafone branded 750 and have ATT service. The phone works for calling and texting, but tried to use the internet and it doesn't work. A message appeared about the "settings need to be adjusted"(paraphrase), so I looked up how to configure internet connections online and entered them in...still nothing.

Will the phone EVER be able to be configured to work with the internet or no, because of the "branding". In other words, does it matter that the unit and service providers do not match?

Thanks all...and Robin!

Hi ,

I am using an R3AA stock rom

would love to know if there is anyway that the USB to PC screen pops up everytime I attach to the PC USB.I never had this problem using my HTC DIamond.

its a difficult process changing it in settings everytime I had to make a switch

Thanks

(btw I searched and got 0 results)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firefall!:
I think it should be possible. I believe there is a so-called notification event when the phone is connected. You can have this notification fire an App. The Exe is \Windows\USBToPC.exe To creste the required notification you will need a tool like SKTools or MemMaid. I think the USB connection event is named "Start if RS232 connection ha sbeen detected" (Although this is not quite correct :D). Try it.

You'd need the USBtoPC popup which ain't on the stock X1 ROMs. I've tried a couple of the cabs that are floating around and haven't found one that works. Currently am using a custom ROM that has the USBtoPC popup builtin.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laurence0609:
If you have not tried it yet, I suggest that you try the custom ROMS cooked by our great chefs. There are fast ROMs on this thread and one example is by following the link below reading and downloading the ROMS that might fancy your taste. I suggest that you try ITJE, Smaberg, NRGZ and Agent_47' ROMS which are all great..If none are to your liking, you can always go back to your old stock ROMs.

No QVGA/6.1 Working for Me

For the record, I've tried the files in the first post as well as:

2 versions of GadgetFreak's QVGA port of TSowen's Taskbar 6 Elite V3 (from PPC Geeks)

A GadgetFreak QVGA port of Taskbar 6 Elite

Arthemus Taskbar V3

Arthemus Taskbar V3_2

A couple of other QVGA battery fixes

None work correctly. The Arthemus taskbar changes the battery icon and that's it. If you like the square design found in the V3 version shown in here, then you can try it.

I've also directly swapped phcanOverbmp and shellres dlls with no luck. Looks like this phone has one odd set of icon files.

FWIW, the Taskbar 6 Elite CABS that GadgetFreak posted behave oddly for me. Once either is installed, they change the battery display and show a distorted speaker icon in the taskbar. But they can't be uninstalled or overwritten without throwing a weird permissions error. So to get rid of them you need to factory reset the phone. Be warned.

Hi all.

I recently came into the posession of one of these awesome devices.

my only problem is that when turned on, the screen comes on but is just pure white.

the device seems to boot up ok as you can hear all the noises in the background, also the digitizer works as the backlight comes on when you touch the screen and you can hear windows mobile clicking away.

could this be the lcd thats broken? or could it be an issue with the mainboard?

anyone have any ideas? or have had the same problem?

i just dont wanna go out and buy a new screen to find out thats not the problem lolol.

(btw i have tried hard reseting multiple times and that dosent seem to be the problem)

thanks all.

heya chris, thanks for the reply.

reason i know it has hard reset ok is i used a htc touch next to it to guage where the setup screen (screen calib etc) buttons were and tapped on the digitizer unitll it got to the main screen and reset itself after customisation (took friggin aages to do that lol)

then managed to fudge it to get media player running by using the arrow buttons etc.

sayin that what combo of buttons do youse to HR. ill give it a try if theres another way ;-)
