Wear and tear is not something that's covered under the $5 a month insurance plan.

If you tell them you lost it (and that acutally DID happen to me) they'll bill you the $125 dedcutable on your next bill - and they didn't replace the SD card mine came with either (they did send me a SIM card and another wall charger though).

Once you've lost the phone, that flag the unit so it won't work anymore and yes they will find out you still have it if you try to use it by putting yer new SIM chip in it. Plus techically this is considered 'insurance fraud' which is a crime you can get in a LOT of trouble for. There was an article I read about 2 weeks ago that said these companies are now keeping an eye on forums like this one trying to catch people doing such things. I suspect if everyone was honest we'd be paying $1 a month instead of $5...

Anyway - I know you can buy replacement screens pretty cheap - heck of a lot cheaper than the $125 deductable as matter of fact.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] theomni:
I really want to get this thing replaced. What if I accidentally drop this on my driveway and run it over with my car. WIll they still charge me anything extra? This phone has plently scratches on the screen that it becomes annoying to use the touch screen. Also, the face plate over the home, back, call send and end buttons is coming off, and the sliding mechanism has become a bit herky jerky.

So I guess whatever happens, I will have to pay up to get it replaced or fixed, despite their "fully insured" that I'm paying?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mputtr:
you need a probably cause to have it replaced... not just suddenly a car ran over it. trust me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TechnoHippie:
Like I said - even if they replace the phone it's still going to cost you $125 for the deductable. Just spend 30 bucks and order a new screen and face plate.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gehzumteufel:
So this is the first time I have done it this way, as I run Linux on my computer. I have no Windows box. As it is doing the flashing, it stops about 55-60% in. It doesn't progress any further.

I am using a 2gb flash card and it is formatted in Fat32 as guided in the wiki.

Anyone know if it just sits there at about this point for a bit or what?

EDIT// I HAVE FIXED IT. THE ROM WAS CORRUPT ON THE SD CARD.

Can a mod please close this thread? Thanks!

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] trjons:
I have the Neon 300 Touch Dual and I like it a lot. Its smaller, lighter, and snappier than any of the other WM devices I've owned (i've had the 8525, the Tilt, the Kaiser, the Treo 750, and the O2 Atom).

I paid around $190 I think.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] dezurita:
I also have a Touch Dual/Neon 300. It's the GSM US version. I use it on the AT&T network. Although there are some quirks with the radios/connections to the network, it is still the best phone I've owned. Everything works great, it's just that while every other cell in the house has a full five bars, my unlocked phone may only have two to three. Other tan that, with a few tweaks for faster access to the 8gig card I use and modifying the registry to allow the system larger memory usage, it functions really well.

[Touch HD General] whatabambam:
Anybody know how to disable "album.cache" files created by HTC Album everytime when you open pictures file in any folder? Thanks for replies...
[Touch HD General] whatabambam:
Is it impossible?
[Touch HD General] DontHate:
as far as i know it uses them

so if you delete them, next time you run album in that folder it will just make them again

so if you want to get rid, just go to the folder, press f3 to search, and type the filename.

then highlight and delete them all at once, but just dont run htc album again or it will recreate them.

whats the problem with these files anyway? if you dont have that file it will be like the first time you go into a folder with lots of pics, it will be v slow as it creates thumbnails of all the pics...

hth
[Touch HD General] David Balfour:
it's the same as the thumbs.db in windows if you show all the hidden files.

Its just a thumbnail database file thats all nothing special and they dont even take up much room
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BluesRebel:
Hi

I downloaded an audiofile and deleted it from 'Browser -> Downloads', but it's still between the alarmtones(twice!) and I can't find it with Astro file explorer, the music player or on the computer. How can I get rid of the files?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] parrot5:
I think the browser downloads are stored in sdcard/download. Try there.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BluesRebel:
That was the first thing I did, they're not there. And I know for sure it's not on the sdcard cause when I remove it, the phone still finds the audiofiles but doesn't find the my other ringtones which I do have stored on the sdcard. So they have to be in the map 'above' the sdcard. But they're not in system/media either.

:(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BluesRebel:
I see now that they're not only with the alarmtones but everywhere.. also with the ringtones and the notifications.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] parrot5:
If they are in the default folder for the audio files (ringtones etc), they will be under /system/media/audio/*****

( ***** equals one of the following: alarms, notifications, ringtones, ui)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BluesRebel:
Look at the third post ;)

They're not in there.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nirpaudyal:
Hello all. I am making an application request that may (or may not!) be possible. Ideas would be useful...

Basically, the idea is for a vibration feedback for screen taps. Obviously this is already available, however, it would be good if the vibration feedback could be localised to a particular space at which the screen is actually pressed... I.e if you press the top right corner of the screen, your finger/hand would feel as though it was actually pressing roughly that area. I have no idea if someone has already done this.

I actually think this is possible on the HTC HD because I note on the game Teeter, when you crash into a wall, say on the left of the screen, the vibration seems to be coming from the left of the phone. This probably means that there are at least 4 vibrators (if thats what they are called!), in the device... and further, it is possible to programmatically access them. If we knew how to do that, it should be possible to do some X/Y combination, especially to make a more precise vibration feedback for our HTC HD.

Ideas and thoughts would be useful.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scilor:
I would solve this by having differenznt patterns
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Wow, I'd never noticed that before.

Are you sure this works in each corner? My pudding pullin' numbed fingers can only feel top and bottom vibrations in Teeter. Are you sure it's in the corners?

Either way, sounds like an interesting concept.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Fire69:
Check the disassembly in the service manual: http://mikechannon.net/PDF Manuals/HTC_Blackstone_Service_Manual.pdf

At page 24, you see they take out the vibrator.

There is only one in the Touch HD, so the requested application in the OP is not possible. ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
There may well be one, but Teeter certainly feels "stereo".

There is a distinct left and right separation.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Fire69:
Yes, that's true. But they probably just reverse the direction the wheel turns to make it feel different.

I don't think you will ever be able to localize the sense of the vibration to the part of the screen where you touch it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
@Fire69 good point. Just what I do with the wife.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Fire69:
With the wife, you could use multiple vibrators! :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nirpaudyal:
Guys, you may be right. I am really very dissapointed with this finding. The teeter game totally feels as though it has multiple vibrators. I doubt spinning them the opposite direction changes the feel. It probably a psychological effect which relates to how we are holding our HTC at the time of vibration (!).

Really upsetting.

Also, is there a software that vibrates on pressure on any point on the screen with any app? There is an option to do screen tap sounds, but not vibrate. Help would be sweet.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] egzthunder1:
We are still talking about phones in here, are we not?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nirpaudyal:
lol. hopefully!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Fire69:
Ofcourse! What else would we be talking about? ;)

BTW, you have a spelling-error in your sig (Rapahel => Raphael) :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Infestor:
I think the impression of "stereo" tactile feedback in teeter is coming from your brain, correlating tactile and visual input. You see the ball crashing into the right wall, feel the vibration and your brain makes "vibration coming from the right side" out of that. Knowing that you are tilting your phone to the right adds to that and is the reason why you also have the same impression when not looking at the screen (just tried it :)). I don't see any possibility of localizing a vibrational feedback with just one vibrator. Multiple vibrators - different story, but I still doubt that could work, as you would a) need _lots_ of vibrators to generate a sufficiently precise interference pattern, b) need immense computing power to calculate the frequency/amplitude/phase of each vibrator to achieve that pattern and c) must be able to precisely drive all those vibrators with those frequency/amplitudes/phases. While I'm thinking about it, you could also just have a matrix of, say, 16x16 vibrators with absorbing layers in between. Hmmm...might be an interesting project to build something like that...;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nirpaudyal:
Indeed... I am sure I could have done something to stimulate precise tactility with 2 vibrators only. By controlling the duration of vibration for the X and the Y axis.

Hopefully HTC will include 2 vibrators with their devices in the future.

i installed the cab for redfly on my phone and it wont get past the white att boot screen with the red version numbers in the bottom right. any ideas? i can hard reset my phone in hardspl but i prefer to use that as a last resort since i havent backed up my phone yet. i use microsoft myphone and didnt hit sync up before, i didnt think it would break wm like that. is redfly just not meant for 6.5 or something like that?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] planmanb:
RU running 6.5? You will need to load a rom via hrdspl. Same thing happened to me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dwmackay:
+1 for learning this the hard way. RedFly and 6.5 do not like each other. I had to hard reset to get mine going again.

Frankly the RedFly and the TouchPro do not work well together even with 6.1. I have 2 RedFlys and both are on the shelf until I replace the phone. They worked great with my eTen X500, but that phone is not very good compared to the TouchPro.

I really cannot think of any way to get your data back. I assume you have tried to connect to the PC and browse to the phone? Maybe at the hard reset screen, you can connect. If so, just copy the PIM over and restore later.

Good Luck,

Doug M.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] The Jack of Clubs:
i had to hard reset. twice actually cause i tried again checking everything. well that sucks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dwmackay:
Bummer about your data. You may want to look at emoze. It will sort of do activesync OTA in real time. It will sync, contacts, email and tasks, but to your own PC, not the web. And your PC has to be running so you will need a desktop rather than a notebook. Kind of nice but not perfect either.

The emoze website has very little information. Best way is to install and see what it does.

Doug M.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hollywould:
Actually, my Touch Pro works great with my Redfly, I wonder why it doesn't' work well for you? It does really suck that the Redfly drivers don't work with 6.5, because I would definately be running a 6.5. It sucks especially since there are hardly any any new 6.1 ROMs any more.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] The Jack of Clubs:
development on 6.1 is done. 6.5 is the current os. and i cant leave finger scrolling and the performance of 6.5 behind.

[About XDA developers] ktemkin:
If you really want the page re-ordered (and you use Firefox), you can hide the stuff you don't want with a plug-in called GreaseMonkey. It does take a small amount of scripting on your part- but, hey, why should the admins do all the work?

Greasemonkey basically runs scripts on pages as they load, which makes it possible to customize the way you see (and interact) with other people's websites.

If you're too lazy to do that, CTRL+F will save you a bit of scrolling.

i read an article some weeks ago about improving call quality for mostly people who had at&t and were experiencing dropped calls. I believe it said to navigate to phone--settings--band and i believe it said to disable the phone from using 3G for voice, so it only uses edge/2g. Problem is, i have no idea why but my phone doesn't have the band page present. I went to kaiser tweak, and made sure that it is enabled there, and after doing a hard reset, its still not there. Does anyone know if there's a registry edit to manually make this edit, or where i can go to actually get the band page to show up.

Hi, I recently got my Topaz a couple of days ago, I have always had winmo devices from the start and am loving the Topaz, I instantly upgraded it to a 6.5 Rom from this site.

Thanks for your reply.

The TD2 tries to connect but continually fails. I have the same settings on my MDA Touch (HTC ELF) which has flawless WIFI performance. How do I upgrade the radio (which might improve my TD2 in other good ways)? I didn't think the radio would have any influence over the 802.11 network adaptor.
