America doesn't use the same 3G frequencies.., Europe 900/1200. America 850/whatever else. These phones are Euro 3G frequencies only so the best you'll get is GSM, which is quad band (i.e. work everywhere).

If you're cool with that that's fine, but when my phone drops from 3G to GSM I find it pretty unbearable (think dial up days).

My touch turns off by itself....any suggestions on where to start troubleshootng?
[Touch GSM General] griffith:
Even am facing the same prob...My elf turns off sometimes without any notification.When i press the power button to make it come out of the sleep mode, I see the phone gets powered on.

Any solution to this prob and the reason for occurence?
[Touch GSM General] ryanh11:
@griffith

i have searched around and found this answer:

"Try placing a piece of thin piece of plastic between the metal piece and the omap processor. it is a normal occurrence in the htc's. what is happening is as the phone gets wear and tear, the pins stop making contact with the processor making it turn off."

I have not tried it yet because i took my battery out an replaced it and it has not turned off since. But it may be worth a try.
[Touch GSM General] jeremy89632:
Alot people say that this method works the best.
[Touch GSM General] iamwin:
do i have to dismantle my htc touch?
[Touch GSM General] griffith:
Do you mean to say that I will have to dismantle my phone? If yes, how would I do that? Can it be done safely by us?
[Touch GSM General] jeremy89632:
there is a elf dismantle guide here.

there is some people which already done this.

You can look around this elf forum, on this same forum, there have been 2 or 3 threads opened for this.
[Touch GSM General] studioj:
what you are saying is that the processor is loose and we need to re attach it??

What about the heat related problem http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532783... or the point that shaking the phone doesnt help the problem (or worsen)
[Touch GSM General] jeremy89632:
Yeah, so there are many factors involved for a faulty elf.
[Touch GSM General] studioj:
SD HC

I notice crashing is less anoying when i loose the SD HC card. Is the elf compatible with SD HC ??
[Touch GSM General] jeremy89632:
Yup, fully compatible.

Compatible up to 8GB, although some say that 16GB is okay too.

Probably your SDHC is faulty
[Touch GSM General] lavs:
I had the same same problem with my Touch. It just turns off by itself without ne specific warning or nething. I dropped a mail to the customer care but there was no reply from them. A week later i again driopped in a mail and again no reply.

I was frusteated so tried calling the toll free number in my country and again no response ...I then tried calling the numbers on their HTC site in Delhi head office and there again no oone picked the phone ....

I was frustated by the poor customer service so decided to mail the CEO and COO of HTC global and as soon as I mailed them I received call from Delhi head office in 15 mins and they now have sent me a new set which suposedly doesnt have the problem.

I am now waiting to see the response of the new one as soon as it arrives :)
[Touch GSM General] jeremy89632:
I feel so happy for you!

You fight for customer rights!

YES!

Good luck, and hope you will have more fun with your device.

the problem is still there after installing new rom, maybe i should try the hardware sollution
[Touch GSM General] jeremy89632:

A few questions:

What effect will the TomTom Audio Fix have without TomTom being installed?

What does the HTC Network Plugin do?

Why do I need the ATI D3D driver?

Can I not enable some of the reg changes you've made? WakeUp on SMS seems very useful for me, but not the BT discoverable timeout or the sound amp boost.

Thanks :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] lyriquidperfection:
tomtom audio fix will just have a shortcut, but dont click it if you have not got tomtom installed.

the network plugin lets you connect to shared folders on your pc so u can stream audio and video files or just access any other files.

the ati d3d driver is a better hardware acceleration driver and considerably improves video playpack and graphics speed and smoothness in general.

some of the registry changes you cant alter from the user interface but the bluetooth timeout option you can change back in the bluetooth settings.

Task Manager

hi,

Is there a way to roll back the task manager change alone - I am not sure why the icon sizes have been reduced - I am barely able to hit the X button next to the programs... Was there any specific reason for this change??

Otherwise its a nice package... I am not seeing any difference from the ATI drivers - is there any application which really showcase this??

Thanks a ton!

--Ashwin
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] lyriquidperfection:
the task manager changes were my personal preferences to save me reconfiguring the phone but you can change these settings back in the task manager settings.

the ATI drivers enhance overall framerate and smoothness in 3D applications and I notice they improve video playback considerable also.

Great! - Task Manager settings in control panel? I am referring to the "Task Manager - Small Task Icons" change... Is there a way to roll that back alone...

LOL

I've sent this device away for repair twice and both times it's come back with a OEM Rom, so I followed the original unlocking guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=433835)

Got up to step 3 - 1 (removing the battery SD and SIM Cards) put the battery back in and now it's not booting, no lights or anything, not even on charge.

Does this make any Sense to anyone? (I Might add I skipped Flashing HardSPL before copying the files) but I don't see how that will brick it as I haven't used the files yet.

I'll also add, that it's been randomly turning off too.

Anyway, Suggestions please?

Thinking about sending it under warranty again, 3rd Time, should I get a free phone?

Cheers Guys
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
Bricked eh?

The only people I would have thought would be laughing, would be the repair centre.... all the way to the bank.

Many HTC official repairers will do that and if it's under warranty, being caught running an unofficial ROM would be enough to void your warranty on the spot as it's counted as modifying the device.

Neither have I so why did you jump to that conclusion for your post title?

Have you considered that there may be a connection problem between the battery terminals and spring connectors? Don't try and bend the spring connectors to contact the battery more - look to clean the connections with a cotton bud and contact cleaner or IPA/video head cleaner (only getting cleaner on the contactors/terminals). Looking clean isn't enough as invisble to the eye contamination can cause problems like this (along with a faulty battery as another possible cause).

Oh I see these were warranty repairs. You should buy a lottery ticket then. If you do take it in under warranty with a non-standard ROM a third time and they still fix it under warranty, your odds are probably the same as winning :D

Heat

Hi,

I was running the 1.4 and now the 1.2 rom and the only time mine heated up was when on charge. Are you charging your with BT and WIFI on at the same time?? My understanding of heat issues in general across most phone models and platforms comes down to a BT or WIFI being turned on...

Cheers,

Ben
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cybermobile:
Yes I do have Wifi on when charging. I will try turning off and see if heating goes away with charging. I am finding that the phone is staying hot even after charging. Another thing I have found is the battery doesn't last any time at all. Maybe 5-6 hours at best. I am not even using the phone of browsing.

Can you tell me why you have gone back to version 1.2?

Performance.

Hi CyberMobile,

Myself and a few others that I have read about have had major performance issues with 1.4. I tried 1.4 for a couple of weeks and over time it got noticeably slower. To the point it was taking minutes for the Rosie desktop to start after closing an app. I flashed 1.2 over the weekend and it also has noticeable lag but still much fast then 1.4. This has been my experience, I cannt speak for everyone and it is highly likely that it is directly related to the fact the 32B has only 192MB of RAM instead of what the 32A model has which is 288MB. I have also read many others being perfectly ok so who knows. With battery life on your phone I would also take into account and polling intervals you have set for exchange active sync if you use it or any other applications. The shorter you polling intervals you have set for these types of apps the harder your phone will be working.

Cheers

Ben

re: Heat

My Rogers HTC Magic has been heating up big time. I was confused as to why and I also found it difficult to find anyone else on the internet complaining about the same problem, until now.

I called Rogers late last week to ask them about the heating up issue. My device heats up at the bottom section mainly (behind the buttons and scroll ball). Even holding the device has made me feel uneasy, as it heats up my hand considerably - not sure if this is just the device heating up, or if it's cooking my body up through EMF.

Rogers said that they didn't hear of any heat problems/reports, so they sent me out a new device. I should be getting it tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest.

By the way, it was heating up with the Hero ROM, so I decided to switch back to the original Rogers image and it TOO is heating up like a mofo.

Will keep you updated...

Not really surprised that there's more heat really.. I mean you are overclocking the CPU (384MHz -> 528MHz) in most of these roms remember - and it's being taxed more because the ROM itself is more demanding than cupcake was.
