Hey, I have a Voda Magic too, but it really doesn't seem likely - I hope I'm wrong :)

But then again, I wish my car was faster, my house bigger and my bank account had a few more zeros on the end - don't always get what you want...:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
Hum... actually I do remember on my HTC Wizard that we have about 12MB of memory that is hidden from us, the Extended_ROM! Back in the day, I used it to store all the customized .cab's I needed to fix and tweak my ROM's!

And, if you did your homework, on HTC Diamond, if you change the memory range when flashing a ROM, you could use that same space as more memory available for the device.

All I want to know is if there is really 288MB on the device. Finding out the range to use the space later, would require me to analyze 32A and 32B oficial ROM's and tweak the 32B ones to use all the available space (been there, done that on HTC Wizard ROM's).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
I'm getting my HTC Magic today. I'll update with whatever I find :)

It's been a few days. Any updates?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bpmorris:
I have been keeping one eye on this thread hoping someone has been game enough to take up the challenge....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rumon:
I was hoping the 32b deactivated RAM was true but i really doubt that. The 32a/32b use different chips MSM7201a 65nm and MSM7200A 90nm . If they changed the CPU they would not waste money sticking inactive RAM chips on the 32b board.

well its always good to get it confirmed i guess......thats me still with a bit of wishful thinking :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bastage:
aren't the chips identical with different names due to a copyright issue or something like that?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rumon:
Specification wise the are identical, but they are physically different as they use different CMOS process technology 65nm and 90nm (nanometer) the size of the Chips core are different. So the power consumption/heat are different also.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dferreira:
I haven't had much time ATM, my master thesis is due tomorrow :) I've been getting to know the ROM's cooking process, so that I can better understand what makes this phone tick :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] my-demise:
Hehe, I actually thought about this back when I first realized that my phone came with less RAM than other HTC Magic phones. I even looked over that manual to see if I could find something of use; in the end I gave up due to having limited time and limited knowledge on the subject. I wish you all the best with this and hope you are able to answer a question I've had for a long time.

Cheers
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] looktall:
what's this about a re-flash upgrade utility mentioned in the pdf?

it seems like a quick way to flash. has anyone seen it around?

what about the rom that is linked in the pdf. is anyone able to download it? or does anyone know what it is? is it just a vanilla htc rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] my-demise:
So it's been over a week now, any luck with hacking this sucker?

I am very very interested to see what you manage to dig up!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Andoididdy:
I can't imagine they would deactivate ram on a phone, its probably a new cpu with a new board with less ram.

However the cpu in the B boards is a newer design on 60nm instead of the older cpu on 90nm.

In regular cpu terms this usually means, they have better batterylife, less heatproduction and higher clockrates and generally a better instructionset.

Is it possible to overclock the cpu higher than 528 mhz? i bet the	Qualcomm MSM7201a can get much higher clockrates than the old 2006 design.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cedricberger:
Indeed I cannot imagine there is such "hidden" RAM in 32B.

It is not clear whether the whole MSM7201a chip is 60nm.

Anyway, this does not imply either that it consumes less power. This would be true if it was specifically designed this way (typically : smaller circuit path allowed).

And here, 60nm may just be due to upgraded production lines, and the original design may just have been "simply" adapted to this process.

Worse case sccenario : imagine you take a circuit design in 90nm, and create a chip with the same design with thinner 60nm circuits (but same circuits length)... I guess you will even consume more power (more resistance in circuits), and neither support higher frequencies ...(?)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
This is incorrect...

MSM7200A/MSM7201A chips are both 60nm.

HTC Magic 32A has MSM7200A chip.

HTC Magic 32B has MSM7201A chip.

MSM7200A has embedded h264 acceleration support, MSM7201A does not.

MSM7200(Non-A) is 90nm.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cedricberger:
I do not know what is really inside.

And indeed there seems to be a difference in video (recording ?) capacity : less resolution supported in MSM72001A. (due to some kind of patent problems)

But from all that I could read MSM7201A is reported to be 65nm and MSM7200A 90nm

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a7200a&c=qualcomm_msm7200a

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a7201a&c=qualcomm_msm7201a
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Unfortunately, those sources are wrong.

The embedded support for H264 in the MSM7200A is for playback mainly, but it could also be used for recording.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] davec26:
Yes this info above is right !!!

:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gl3nborj:
Yes, If it would be a memory problem. Anybody can use BGA Tools to remove and replace the memory chip, but One big question is the availability. Another workaround it to make a boot loader and use the SD Memory as its main.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gl3nborj:
It may... using software restriction, Nokia is fond of doing this stuff to catch most marketing aspect. Their series uses the same board and materials, deactivated apps, whallla.... another model to be sold to market.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] JohnnyP.akaJP:
Im new here. Sorry if im wrong but dosent the mytouch not use all its ram anyways? Im using a 32b. It shows that I only have 100mb of ram. Out if my suppose if 188?mb.
[G1 General] l2ed:
ok not too long ago I updated my G1 to JesusFreake 1.0, then to 1.5 through their updater. Everything went well till I wanted to play music which was fine till I recieve an incoming call or text, my phone basically goes on full mute where I cant hear my contact nor can my contact hear me and it stays that way till i reset the phone. So can someone shine some light for my problem.
[G1 General] supremeteam256:
What version radio do you have? Sounds like you got to update that.
[G1 General] l2ed:
Hmm.. the radio? i remember updating the radio through the updater as well,found the radio through loading through boot loader and i got RADIO-1.22.12.29
[G1 General] Meltus:
i believe this is a common problem on the 1.5 builds, i know quite a few people who have had it.

unfortunatly, i don't know how to go about fixing it but you could try reflashing the update to see if it was a freak flashing error.

On my Compact V, I was quite looking forward to using the radio. But whilst outdoors it is barely audible.

When I play the inbuilt MP3 player, the volume is much louder. I’ve tried various stations, but they are all equally low in volume. Reception seems to be fine. I only listen to BBC Radio4 (sorry!).

Any ideas?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harolds:
The radio has it's own volume, just use the volume control on the side while the FM radio is on and displaying.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TinTin:
Unfortunately that doesn't help either, volume is far too low. I've been looking for a solution all over the place already too... found nothing that worked.

.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harolds:
What happens on the display when you use the volume buttons? Because I have installed a cab on my phone which caused the volume control in the FM radio to stop working.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hvilly:
Yes i am surprised that nobody talk about this problem already.

It is true that the fm radio is low.

And no the radio does not have its own volume.

It is the same as the system volume.

In order to be able to hear something you must set the volume almost to the maximum.

When you receive a sms, it rings so loud into your headphone.

I tried to HD tweak but no result......
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harolds:
My phone's FM radio has it's own separate volume. Like I said before, that it's possible that you installed something that caused the seperate volume to stop working.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpathan:
Before I installed anything on y phone, the volume had been low. I have installed tomtom7, however i dont think that is the cause.

Like I say, when I play an mp3 file, the volume is loud. At first I thought it may be to do with the reception, but all the stations are the same (there is a marginal difference is the reception is very good).

Thanks

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TinTin:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr asphalt:
Try this metod that works on my D2

with a reg editor modify:

HKLM\Software\HTC\FMRadio\FMPlayer

Dword: "Volume" change the value that you see, with this in decimal"4294967295" save and go on FmRadio...works? ok thats all for me naturally.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TinTin:
Mine was set to 43260 (Dec), I put your value and started the FM Radio, but the max volume did not increase :(

I quit FM Player and noticed the Volume RegKey was changed to 6180 (Dec) , obviously after I quit FM Radio.

.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr asphalt:
Ok...6180 that's happen also fo me, but now work normally.

you can only try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534362 is the only chance you have to encreas the overal audio.

Hi to all...and a question for my developer/tweaker friends....

i am using dutty's rom r5 wm6.5 and when i use opera in landscape mode the taskbar at bottom and top shows up...i remember in other roms you can only see top bar but bottom bar is hidden even when you r using keyboard.

i am wondering if there is a registry tweak or cab fix this...i want to hide the bottom bar...i want to hide all bars if possible...but the bottom bar is annoying as it leaves very less space to read and write when keyboard is open

thanx

Hi All,

Can any one from Pune or near by Pune tell me any vendor for good screen guards for Gene. The one which came with my Gene was awsome and lasted for one year or so..after that i have tried some 3-4 new guards but they develop scraches too quickly. Does any one know any particular types to ask from shopkeepers.

Also i read some where that cold lamination should not be done. Will it harm the screen?

Apart from the screen guard if any one knows some other accessory or way then please help.

Thanks in anticipation.
[P3400 Acessories] nimish_fun:
No replies :)

Hmmmm....really started wondering whether i have asked a wrong question/wrond thread or broken some forum rule?? If that is the case i am sorry, i thought screen guard was an accessory.:confused:

Or seriously no one knows any thing in this regard?
[P3400 Acessories] Addicted2xda:
Its extremely difficult to get any accessory of HTC products in India :mad:.

If Pune has a RT Outsourcing branch, please try there.
[P3400 Acessories] nimish_fun:
I hate that bout HTC :mad:

@Addicted : Thanks for replying man!! Its really drag that we dont get originals for HTC in India. I had a hard time finding one good pair of earphones, once when i lost my earlier ones. I thought of buying some bluetooth stereo headphones but now thanks to Karan i will have a 3.5 mm converter for the same :D.

So coming back to the topic, what most of you do?? use local ones? or any thing different? some special cover or something.
[P3400 Acessories] Addicted2xda:
My sales box contained a spare screen cover. And I am still using the first one :D
[P3400 Acessories] Dhanishmohan:
man i also lost my screen cover and using one local not meant for gene.....actually its for nok 5800 a touch screen......no problems at all......using for 4 months ,,,,,,,,,,{cut to the size of gene's display}
[P3400 Acessories] Addicted2xda:
Can you tell us the cost of the same (well, all screen guard for touch screens are the same, as far as I know ;)). Also, from where did you buy it (I mean road side hawker, nokia authorized dealer, whatever).

I am asking this because I gifted my extra screen protector to someone (totally unworthy :p)

Thanks

i got a Chinese film for screen in my local market .it worth only 50 rs.

it got scratch but its too cheep u can change it every 10 days.

in rs 50 film u can use approx 80 times so i think u can change when u think it got scratched.

cut this film in middle by its width and cut the length u wnt to cover

it will be give u best fit with no bubbles .

[P3400 Acessories] krazy_about_technology:
Screen protectors for HTC phones are available in almost all shops in the sector-18 market Noida. Your best bet would be to go to a shop which advertises HTC phones outside them. They are sure to have most accessories. I have seen atleast 2 such shops in the Atta market :) Cost : approx Rs 100.
[P3400 Acessories] krazy_about_technology:
Dont use that film much buddy, it damages the touchscreen slowly. Trust me when i say that. i have seen a person's screen go berserk when he was removing it for applying a fresh one, and he was taking utmost care at that time. But somehow, the upper layer of his screen came off with it from many places and touch sensitivity gone. :eek:
[P3400 Acessories] nimish_fun:
Jeeez... Thanks Krazy... I almost went for this one i got a similar thing in Pune for 100 Rs... but now i wont apply that...

The problem with the screen guards in pune is that some how i am no able to find the originl HTC screen guard. It was quite sturdy...after that one i have changed some 4-5 local screen guards...

I will keep on finding them tough...:D
[P3400 Acessories] ankit360:
i m using default that come with box but it's nasty, it got lots scratch , in mumbai in Local train u get it for 10 RS :eek: but got for good one which cost u around 250-300 is does not get scratch itself :cool: and make gene more sexy

[Dash 3G, Snap General] Greg530:
Just picked up a Snap. (Euro model)

The top row keys (menu keys, home, back, etc..) make a funny sound when I click them. They feel very "wrong". It sounds like it makes a click before I actually push it all the way in. So there is a sorta plastic-y double-click sound.

I rushed back to the store and the guy opened another box to compare and that was making the same noise too. He suggested it's new and will break in with time. (The display model was good but it has been "broken in" by a lot of customers.)

(QWERTY part of keyboard is fine.)

I'm inclined to think BOTH phones had a problem and it makes me feel uncomfortable.

I had a similar experience with a laptop's touchpad button once and it got worse over time. So this is why I'm pessimistic.

Has anyone else had this problem/issue?
[Dash 3G, Snap General] an.ghezzi:
here i'm. same problem on my italian htc snap.

is there something that can we do to fix this problem?
[Dash 3G, Snap General] Greg530:
Well it's good to know.... but also sad news because apparently HTC screwed up something.

After using mine for 24 hours the problem was worsening so I just returned it to the store.

I don't know how old is yours (and if it's getting better or worse), maybe you can also return it?

I didn't get another one because frankly I was not awed by the Snap.

Coming from an Excalibur (S620) and based on specs I was expecting to be blown away by the performance of Snap.

But with 3VOLUTION's latest 6.5 ROM on my trusty (and beaten) Excalibur I could not see any improvement. (minus, of course, 3G and GPS)

Maybe I will buy another Snap in the future but going to wait until this hardware issue gets acknowledged/fixed.

PS. It is important to point out, the phone they had on display -abused by a lot of people- was PERFECT. Strange.

@an.ghezzi - please let me know the age of your phone and how this issue develops over time.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] an.ghezzi:
i've bought the snap just a week ago and the problem is always here.

not worse, not better. let's wait, maybe someone can tell us what's wrong.

: )

PS. the "funny sound" came only from the "call" and "home" buttons. the others sounds ok...
[Dash 3G, Snap General] Greg530:
Just an update.

I picked up a second Snap a couple of weeks ago. Tried the keys in the store and they were not perfect but almost.

Lately I'm getting pissed off with them again. They are just as bad as the first one was. And I know this is a minor problem - probably not even a problem for most people - but I get so frustrated by it. This damn thing feels so cheap. Cheap crap plastic. My Excalibur is 3 years old but still rocking stronger.

I'm not happy.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] nightryder21:
Same with me. I have a T-Mobile Dash 3G and was wondering why this was happening. It's happening on my left softkey button and home button. I'm gonna take it back to T-Mobile on Tuesday.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] Greg530:
Yeah I'm very pissed about this. This new phone (second one, after returning first) is just sitting in my drawer and I'm back on my Excalibur. Squeaky cheap plastic is my pet peeve.

Unfortunately I'm through the 14 days return so I'm stuck with it.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] Bupahs:
I have one of the first HTC Dash 3G's, got it from Customer service before they were even available for sale online or stores, I have no problems with the buttons what-so-ever, no clicking, just smooth presses. I wonder if there was a shoddy batch that went through to some areas.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] mharms1:
Try some rubbing alcohol

On my Ozone, I've noticed a bit of trouble with a few of the keys on the top row feeling spongy. I used a alcohol wipe to kind of loosen up the keys which worked great. I also had noticed the battery cover recently started creaking, so I tore a business card in half and placed it over the battery, which tightened that right up.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] starlit:
same problem here!

Now i know why there are less stocks of snap in asia! i have the same soft key problem, even after one to one exchange! am really disappointed with htc on this, not sure how many others have this problem and if there is anything we can do to fix this? maybe even take it apart??? arghhh...
[Dash 3G, Snap General] Greg530:
I ended up selling my second Snap too.

Besides the sticky keys I just did not like it :-/

ookba's custom ROM made it a lot nicer but I just could not get used to the device. Yes the keyboard looks great but the overall design is odd (screen too small compared to the whole unit), it just did not feel balanced.

I have a bad feeling about the fate of the "standard" WinMo (non-touch) edition. The new professional devices are getting nicer. They need to get a new finger friendly OS and a proper capacitive touch screen - once they do that, non-touch will go extinct.

I guess it took me until now to see how Microsoft ignored mobile development for so long. What was killer technology in 2006 is just a mess by now.

I still love my Excalibur, I dare to say it was the best phone I ever had.

Here is how I imagine the perfect phone: Blackberry makes the hardware. Ookba joins Microsoft and they release WinMo 8, or so. XDA community builds GUI.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] starlit:
I really wonder how many people are facing this issue... sigh.

So far, it seems its happening all over the world. I have tested and changed 3units. The current one is a bit better ... at least the call button does not creaks as much. But I miss the e71 in terms of built quality. I was hoping there is some hack we can perform to fix this.
