[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
When you hard reset the device, everything is wiped on device apart from OS, so you need to align screen at start to be able to use device once automatic setup has completed.

There is another option as Throys latest roms, R6 & R7 has a complete automatic setup and there is no align screen. You could always try one of these

Try using the tool located at this thread, maybe it helps.

[Touch HD General] gaston73:
Hi to all. I need your help.... I have my HD, it has the original ROM and the original hardware... Of course I installed a lot of programs. Since I bought it (5 months ago) I have never had problems. 3 days ago I installed the phat notes and the key from ppcwarez... After I installed and using the program, when the device turns off after 1 minute I can't turn it ot again.- I mean, I push the power button and nothing, but If I make a soft reset the device turns on, but then again, if the screen turns off I can't turn it on...

I deleted, the program phat notes and the keygen, and then made a hard reset and installed all the buck up files I had... So, everything went fine for half a day. I used all the applications I usually do and worked fine. Yesterday night I played poker with my HD and then I sincronised it with my PC. After that, the problem started again.... The same problem, when the screen turns off, I can't turn it on, only with a soft reset... I've just made another hard reset, and everything works fine, but I don't know when the problem will come back...

anyone can help me and tell me what Can I do to check if everything is ok?

thanks in advance

Try to flash another ROM as Dutty 3.9XT, make sure your device is CID unlock before by flashing the HARDSPL with the last one, 1.56.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Morne04:
Hey there, please don't kill me for asking this question. I have searched this forum, and googled my problems, and tried all the suggestions...none work.

I have an htc touch diamond with a wm 6.1, but have flashed MANY different roms in the past 2weeks, including wm6.5 roms. All roms have been downlaoded from XDA.

Hardspl: Olinex 1.30

Radio: Radio v1.00.25.23

My problems...

First my phone started becoming very unresponsive, taking ages to even go into the start menu. I assumed it was the rom that was causing the major slow down, and flashed another...same problem. Then thought okay, maybe its just wm6.5 thats not very stable yet...and flashed a winmo6.1 rom.

It works fine now, but everytime i soft reset it does a hard reset, reinstall's all the wm6.1 cab's, delete's my contacts, messages, email's etc...please, i don't know what to do. My whole life is organized on my phone...i can't keep losing data like this everytime i soft reset.

Thanks in advance...

And thanks for the amazing community and to all contributers!!! you are all doing an amazing job!!!

ROM issue....

Try reflashing with an original stock ROM, then flash the ROM you want to use... this cures all sorts of wierd and wonderful issues ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Morne04:
Yipee!!

Thank you all, flashing stock rom and then the cooked one worked like a charm. Thanx All!!!

Earlier today i was on the samsung website to download some drivers which i think was needed to speed up the boot on of my samsung nc10 netbook. This was mainly because after downloading windows 7 yesterdayi i had a lot of drivers to re-install from the samsung download centre. I noticed during the booting up my laptop that it delayed pn a black screen for a VERY long time before entering into the desktop. I spent hours trying to fix this in device manager, command prompt etc. Nothing worked. When i read on a forum that bios updates might be needed to help windows 7 run better i chose to download one. As the bios update was downloading from the samsung website, after about five mins i noticed the computer had frozen. tried moving the mouse, ctrl alt etc. but nuthing worked. I was very worried when i pressed the power button and the computer did not go off. As i proceeded to take out the battery from the bank i muttered 'nice knowing you laptop' cos i kinda sensed it was a very bad thing about to happen. Took out the battery for a few mins and put the computer back on but it would not switch on. It just showed a blue indicator light and it hasn't come on since then. I can't help but wonder if those 20 delayed seconds during boot was really that intolerable, i should have just left well alone. The poor baby is only a few weeks old and already its met the end. Does anyone know if a laptop can be recovered from an error during bios update? thanks for ur help
[Off-topic] prank1:
I have never seen a laptop that has been able to recover from a Bad BIOS flash, and unlike a Desktop PC it is a bit harder to open it up and change the BIOS ROM chip (containing the EEPROM). Some laptops and computers have the BIOS chip soldered onto the motherboard so you can't just change it (grr).

I would advise you take it back to where you bought it, but be careful with what you tell them happened. Sometimes businesses like to charge you if you were the one that played about with the BIOS, which is kind of annoying since its not exactly you that wrote the BIOS flashing software..
[Off-topic] phabreel:
U're very right about not being to quick to state i'd be downloading software. I noticed there is a disclaimer on their website stating they are not liable for any issues caused by changing software. Nice to have seen that cos when i rang them up i just said the laptop won't turn on for some strange reason;) They agreed to book it in to their service center
[Off-topic] + Que PPC:
you are correct!

if you search in the web of american megatrends maybe you can found a DOS app called something like low application that can helps you to restore a corrupted bios.

My jobs pc has the bios corrupted because of a worm its a vaio so... al the drivers needs to read the model ID and... the model has beendeleted! unbelievable but true the IT technician tells me that he needs time to try that app cause he never do it but he say it will makes the trick.

Try it you cant loose anything more... or take it to the seller and ask him for the service center.

If it uses Phoenix BIOs then you can use an emergency flash disk. I've successfully used it to recover my HP DX6000 after I borked a bios hack to remove a WiFi whitelist.

Here is what I'm Trying to do:

~Find a Wm6 or Wm6.1 that would allow me to setup and use the phone with out a data connection from A&TT, but would like to only use WIFI to access the Web, email & facebook...etc...etc

~What threads, rom, tricks, cabs or tweaks where used to achieve this... while still being able to use email & the web via WIFI only?

~I've tried several Roms all installed no problem except setting up email accounts and intermittent web access issues when the phone goes into standby.

~I've set up a Window live email account but have very inconsistent connections issues. (Mostly not working)

~Frequent connection errors...

Any suggestion, pointers would be great!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] scousemartin:
As far as i know the first port of call for wm phones is to try and connect via a data plan, it will only try via wifi if you have it switched on and connected, i havent found a way of getting it to automatically try to connect to wifi. So good luck in finding it , as i have been on here for years and still dont know how to do it.

I know its not exactly useful, but just letting you know, dont think its going to be easy
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mikeage:
You can use NoData to prevent it from trying to use a data plan (2G, 3G, etc).

I don't have a data plan at all; this is what I do to force it to use only activesync passthrough or wifi:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jac:
The No-data cab did not help.... Did nor notice any changes... Outlook continues to pop open every few minutes. Not sure what the cause is however the phone works fine when I connect it with WIFI. is there some reg-edit to stop the outlook pop up? Let me give some more info that may help...

Using:

~Window Live Hotmail client with in Pocket Outlook

~Do not have a data plan for the phone (AT&T 8525 Hermes)

~The Only way the phone connects to the web or email is via WIFI

All suggestions welcome....

The nodata cab installs the nodata program - check your programs menu. Run the nodata program and you can toggle off your connections.

My fone bookmarks wont access my facebook profile anymore. Any address starting with www.facebook.com Keeps clicking over to

x.facebook.com or something and saying Page can't be found, showing underlined text that I think should be links but aren't to the mobile and standard site...

Do I have a virus or something?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] str4vag:
will the page load at all? because x.facebook.com is the android optimized page. if it loads, log in, then scroll down to the bottom of the page. where there is 2 small links that you can click,

1 is the facebook mobile format

2 is the real standard facebook.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Dayzee:
Ah. Weird that it never did that before. Have had a G1 since last year and a magic for about 6 wks and not done that before, I've always been able to browse the full site.

When I get the page, I can see log in, Standard and mobile underlined but nothing o the page works...

I have been having the same issue.

It only happens on profile pages, the rest of Facebook works fine. Same issue on G1 using JF 1.51 and Dude's cupcake. Now using MyTouch 3G same results.

I guess its a Facebook issue rather than an Android one.

I normally use the full site option for Facebook since I hate that iphone wrapper or any of the mobile sires (wish I could permanenty disable the loading of mobile versions of sites) but since us facebook issue started the full site link is disabled on profiles.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] redmdc:
howdy peeps iv been having a play round with the rom to try and decifer whats causing it to be so slow and also iv noticed that messages were also not being recieved.

I HAVE THE SOLUTION :)

right the slowness is caused by the flip clock with the weather update feature, i noticed that when you go back to the home screen it straight away goes to sync the latest weather information, theres two ways of boosting the speed one is either to simply change the clock to one that isnt weather or click onto the weather bit and disable auto weather update

you will notice that there is now no lag swapping from screen to screen, this deffo cheered me up as the slowness did start to peeve me off

and now for that text swiping demon lol, if you have noticed that your messages arent coming thru i found the fix, its the sms widget, there sems to be a bug which is eating them all up lol, basically get rid of it and you will notice you have friends again.

just thot id share my findings with you, because i am now more than happy with my new rom its speedy and have texts again lol

There's another link to the download on the second to last page I think, have a look because that's where I got it from.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] redmdc:
just place the message widget on the sd card and open it through a file explorer on your phone, its what i did just installs like any other aslong as you have allow android applications from other sources selected :)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PurpleFries:
Just to begin, normally i am pretty on top of stuff when it comes to messing with hardware/software, so i figured this flashing will be easy.

I started off with rooting my Rogers HTC Dream, which worked out just fine.

Then i tried to install the cyanogen mod, and now i cant boot past the rogers logo.

since then i have tried installing android 1.5 radio, cyanogen's recovery image (1.3.1)

i couldnt find a guide for installing any of these, so essentially the only thing i did was enter fastboot, run fastboot boot recovery.img (the same one i used for rooting) and update from update.zip on each of the things i tried to install.

Seems that I missed out on the initial preperation.

Also, Nandbackup didnt work when i tried to use it, it would just fail every time, so i am left without a backup file of my previous state.

So my question is: What can I do to A:get cyanogen's mod working, or B:restore the unmodified rogers-branded rom to my phone

Thanks guys, any help is greatly appreciated. Just got this phone yesterday, and I love it, but now i seem to have gone and messed it up

I have a bunch of bad backups, they have only the boot.img part of several backups.

K here is the order I did anything.

Rooted->cyanomod 3.6.7.2->recovery 1.3.1 (tried to install it through the raw file, didnt seem to work) radio for 1.5 android-> recovery 1.3.1 (through update.zip, worked)

I figured cyanogen's was compatible kuz on a post about rooting the rogers phone, a link was posted, by cyanogen linking to his mod.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:

I was wondering if anyone would be able to create me a whole set of black icons and a whole set of white icons for all the basics SMS unread, SMS read, call missed, No Missed calls, ect as well as some specific icons for some apps that i have?

As i know this is a big request - i am willing to donate money to the person kind enough to do this for me.

if anyones interested in doing this for me, let me know and i will let you know the specific icons that i need doing in black and another one done in white.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] robboy:
Anyone got any price / tariffs for the hero on these networks?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cbailey:
Let's be honest, an educated guess is going to be pretty near the money.

I would imagine free to buy on a 40/month for 24 months.

60 quid to buy on a 40/month for 18 months

120 quid to buy on a 40/month for 12 months

170 quid to buy for a 30/month for 12 months.

I bet those are pretty close to the actual numbers. I have done no real analysis so take the numbers as pure conjecture but they are bound to be close.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] barryallott:
If you Google the hero then you do get a number of 3rd party sites which give details of the tarrifs.

e.g. http://www.buymobilephones.net/mobi...unt/85,13642?gclid=CMOQz7-z4JsCFZ4A4wodDTsOAA

Dont quote me on the validity of this site as I just took it from a Google search.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] riz157:
as far as I'm aware it is free on 40+ on orange who are releasing it tomorrow, just confirmed few moments ago.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] supadupahands:
how do you know? where has this been confirmed? SOURCE? Im gonna burst if this is true!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Bagpuss:
Orange HQ definitely have stock of the Hero, but the retails shops don't (yet).

I phoned in about 2 weeks ago, and asked to be notified when the handset was available. I've just had a call back, and mine is out for delivery tomorrow.

Got a stunning deal as well. Was offered the following two tariffs:

Free Hero, 12 month contract, 600 minutes, 500 texts, 200 landline - £37.19/month

Free Hero, 18 month contract, 900 minutes, 500 texts, unlimited landline - £34.26/month

Those prices include VAT and two months free internet. Internet is a £5/month bolt on after that.

Went for the 12 month deal, as I hate to be tied in for too long.

By my reckoning, I'll be paying £446.19 over 12 months, which seems pretty good given that the handset is £399.

I phoned my local Orange shop, and they can't get anywhere close to that deal. On their price book, a free Hero was only available on a £40/month, 24 month contract. Expansys could match the monthly price, but not the number of minutes, and it would have been on T-Mobile as well (the handset would been SIM free, though). As I'm not a fan of white phones, I went with Orange.

Bagpuss.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] R3PUBL1K:
There is a issue with the database so cant get one just yet just try later :eek:

Sorted - Orange just rang back and I should have mine with in 3 days? but should be tomorrow.

Tariff Details - Panther 45 (1200Mins, Unlimited Text and 500MB data) with £5 web save and 25% discount for 18 month contract. So about £27 per month (NICE)

[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicelad_uk:
You are one of the lucky ones. When I was with Orange and had "Unlimited" data, I went over 500mb one month and they charged me. When querying with them, they advised of the "fair usage policy" which is written into all the terms and conditions and unlimited actually means within reason.

Apparently
[Hero, G2 Touch General] joemax:
Me too :D

Great for using the handset as a modem on my MacBook Pro !
[Hero, G2 Touch General] R3PUBL1K:
Well mine states unlimited data too and unlimited text- each having a limit of 500MB and 3000 txt- all the networks have a similar policy, so its not really unlimited.

All providers states that the allowance does not include the use of the phone for tethering - but this still goes mostly undetected by the provider if you set it up right on the laptop.
