Hi All,

I have a strange problem with my Tilt. Whenever I connect my Tilt to my PC using USB cable, it gets disconnected regularly. I have to unplug and replug the USB cable to get the ActiveSync working.

I am using windows 6.1 ATT official ROM. I tried multiple cables and multiple PCs and same issue is there.

Does anyone having any clue or similar problem and solution for this.

Thanks in advance

Check the pings in the mini usb port to make sure they aren't bent.

It's possible that you have a program causing it, use a task manager to turn them off if you can.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] emoh@home:
I already checks all the strips(pings) in the mini usb....and mini usb cable also....

How do I identify if some program is causing it?

I have the following program running on my tilt

MobileShell.exe

device.exe

filesys.exe

voicecmd.exe

gwes.exe

cprog.exe

s2u2.exe

shell32.exe

services.exe

quickGPS.exe

repllog.exe

taskMge.exe

iLock2.exe

HTCIMSSvc.exe

use task manager to turn them off one by one or in groups.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
In the early days of my owning a TyTN II (HTC not AT&T Branded), I had this issue occuring often with my old PCs (via chipset USB 1.1 motherboards). Since updating the USB capability by addidng a decent NEC chipset based USB 2.0 PCI card, the connectivity problems vanished. Now I'm using an Intel DG45ID with USB 2.0 built in, the problem has never re-occurred. What are the ages / chipsets of these 'multiple PCs'? Have you tried connecting the Tilt to a newish PC?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] emoh@home:
I have a laptop not older than 2 years and it has intel 945 based chipset (which definetly support USB 2.0) and another PC on which I have tried also has 945 based chipset.

I think you are right, the issue is the USB ports. one of them showing an error when I pluging anything into this and I think other are not working properly too in my laptop but they are not showing an error.

However I tried different (other than I used) USB port in my Desktop and I do not see the issue.

Thanks for your help. We got the root cause but I dont know how to fix it in my laptop maybe usb port got the dust on it.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
Those Intel 945 chipsets should definitely be able to cope with the USB demand alright. In time after installing lots of different USB devices through a given USB port, remnants of past driver associations etc can remain and it's often a good idea every now and again to perform a 'from the ground up' format and reinstal. If you have a recovery CDROM from the Laptop manufacturer (preumably this is what you're using as your main PC), then this will simplify things tremendously. Just make sure you back up all your important data before you commence the recovery operation.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] emoh@home:
I dont want to restart every thing I have lots of software and thing which will take ample of my time.

I am using Vista home premium, is there any way to clean up the driver related stuff.

-emoh@home
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
I do understand as I've worked in IT in the past. You may find however that a restore/reinstall from scratch is the quickest way rather than going through looking for remnanats of files and unused registry entries to clear out. Its always a good idea to format your PCs HDD every so often anyway and usually the performance boost that comes with an efficient 'how it was meant to be' setup, helps to compensate for the time and effort it takes.

You could try using system recovery (I presume thats in Vista Home Premium, I don't have Vista myself), but I don't have much faith in such inbuilt recovery options. It'd also mean you need to know when to recover back to - the $64,000 question. You could also try uninstalling all the USB related things in device manager (with all USB devices unplugged at the time of course) and on restarting, the PC should pick them all up again (have your driver CDROMs on hand in case it doesn't). Personally, I'd just back up my data, get my software installation CDROMs ready and perform a full laptop system recovery using the manufacturers CDROM.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] emoh@home:
I understand......I will do the same when I'll get the time.

Thank You
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
That should be the very last bit of advise to give out, and really I think thats very very bad advice.. Ah infact he claims that it happens on more then one computer, so it's a problem with the phone. I'm sure the "remnants" of drivers don't stay in the cable..

Did you ever kill those programs running in the background? Have you reset the phone, sheesh make sure to do that before wiping your computer. Very bad advice!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] emoh@home:
No I haven't, however I too feel that it is the problem of the USB port or cable. I again tried on my desktop (with XP) on different ports (on board earliar I was trying with the front side USB ports) and seems to be fine, not showing and disconnecting issue. I do not know why there is a difference in usb ports.

My laptop with Vista still having an issue. One of the port even showing an error when I try to connect it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
It seems that the safe bet when syncing is to use XP.. I know that with notebooks the USB ports can be flakey because of power issues but that shouldn't be a big deal with a desktop.. Try your XP desktop and hopefully you'll have some good luck.

I'd like to say I've had this problem before, but I don't remember what I did to fix it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
I agree - well, with one point anyway

That's a good idea to try as well, a combination of both will almost certainly fix things. I guess my personal experience with this and the cause having been USB port related on the PCs (both with older VIA chipsets) led me in the direction of the PCs USB ports and everything surrounding them. You hit the nail on the head with with your comments about power issues on ports. I remember that one of the things which tended to bring on a disconnect in my last VIA chipset board was starting the TV Tuner up - the extra power consumed by the tuner put the rest of the chipset into a position where it simply couldn't cope with what Activesync was asking of it and the problem was 100% repeatable. I also found with that setup that I needed to disable Advanced Networking functionality on the phone or it wouldn't connect at all - although that didn't cause unreliable connections, it simply wouldn't connect with Advanced Networking Capability enabled. The newer USB port adapter card resolved all of these issues.

If emoh@home has lots of software installed on the PC, there may be lots on the phone as well so if thats the case, it'll mean a little work reinstalling cabs and reconfiguring there as well but I'm all for occasional cleanouts for restoring reliability and performance - the difference is often like night and day. Thanks for the additional positive idea among all the negatives.

Not able to connect to internet with Active sync

I don't know what is happening......now I am facing new issue.

I am able to connect to internet by Active sync on my vista laptop but its not working on XP desktop.

I have default connections in connection setting and I manually added for my ISP(Airtel).

I already tried deleting and resetting the sync settings, tried different setting on XP(Active Sync) but no use. Its working fine with Vista (WMDC).

Any help would be gratful.

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
I'm not sure what you want to connect to the internet - is it so you can have your Kaiser use your desktop PCs internet connection (what I suspect is the case) or the other way around (in which case internet connection sharing would come into play)?

If the problem is the former above, try changing the 'Automatic' in the Desktop Activesync 'This computer is connected to' section to 'The internet'. I had a WM 6.1 HTC ROM on my Kaiser for a while and this was the only way I could get it to connect (the WM 6.0 ROM works fine in this regard under Automatic). Not sure what you mean by manually added Airtel though. If thats also your landline ISP, I've never experienced a need to configure down to the level of specifying the ISPs name. The only ISP where names come into it in my experience is the one the phone is connected to over the air as the network of choice (Airtel going by your profile) and that should be fully set up using the HTC Configuration Wizard built into HTC TyTN II ROMs automatically a short while after it connects to the network for the first time (or after a hard reset). Is this not happening for you?

If you've tried the above config change in the XP machines Activesync settings, you could always try uninstalling and reinstalling Activesync 4.5 after you've backed up important data from the phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] emoh@home:
Yes, I am talking about the former one.

Tried but no use. Still not able to update the weather and access the internet by opera/IE mobile.

No, I have to manually add the configuration to connect to my ISP(Airtel) over the air (Edge). I know this nothing to do with active sync but I mentioned it here for the sake of the information.

I tried this too, still no success.

Any other suggestion would be grateful.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
Try disabling or removing any software firewall on the XP machine if it has any? Is the phone in the same state when you connect it via WMDC and this works as when you attempt the same through Activesync 4.5 and it doesn't? Did you end up doing the hard reset suggested?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] emoh@home:
I have AVG 8.5 free Edition, but I dont think AVG firewall is creating any problem as I have access internet in tha past using the same machine. Anyways I will check it out.

yes.

I will not do this as it time consuming to setup all the things.

As the title states, where can I purchase Robo Defense? I have the free version and its awesome. I want to upgrade to get more maps and features but the full version isnt on the Android market!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] crxtasi:
just search for robo in the market and should come up. I've playing this game ever since my G1 and so happy that the dev put a save file on the SD card. Now I still have all my achievements and everything.

GREAT GAME!

[Touch HD General] 7896zx:
I was just thinking if it would be possible to change the whole Touch HD screen to a capacitive screen just like on the iphone or would this be impossible? because you can get your screen changed if there is a crack so why not make it a capacitive screen.
[Touch HD General] Bl@ck:
no you can't.

you'll have to provide drivers into the spl and that's kind of impossibile.
[Touch HD General] the-equinoxe:
apart from drivers, you also need to change the hardware, it's not simply plugging in a screen.

Hi Guys, I got fond of the Hero a lot. and requested a friend to get one for me on his way from london (sim free, unlocked)

1 thing concerns me is the data consumption over 2g networks as its quite expensive here

I need to know if I can stop data transfer without affecting calling ability???

this is crucial in my decision to buy

Appreciate your clear and quick responses.

you can even put a Mobile Network Toggle on the desktop to just switch it on and off.

no you don't need to root the phone

yes, it only shuts off mobile data (including MMS), this is why it's called mobile data, and not airplane mode. Wifi is unaffected.

Data Roaming

Hi everyone,

We've just started using the Hero at work as a business phone, a lot of our employees travel internationally on a regular basis.

Using our old WinMo phones, picking up emails whilst roaming was automatically disabled by default but could be manually sync'd with our exchange server if required.

On the Hero, there doesn't seem to be a similar function. You have to go in to the Mobile Network settings and disable 'Data Roaming'.

My question is, if I disable 'Data Roaming' but still have 'Enable Always-on Mobile Data' active, will any downloaded apps still be able to connect and update i.e Twitter gadget for instance? Or does disabling 'Data Roaming' stop data connections full stop?

The ideal scenario for us would be something that is quick and easy to turn off (or turn on) that would prevent any data connection but will let us open up the Mail app and sync manually with our exchange server if required (like we could with WinMo).

I currently have the Toggle Selector app on my home screen to quickly get to the Mobile Network settings. I'm just not sure what to enable/disable in the settings menu that will let me get mails manually and prevents all other data connections.

Any advice or suggestions would be more than welcome. It's got us scratching our heads a little and is stopping us from upgrading other staff phones as we don't want to end up with a phone we can't use as a business tool internationally as it costs us the earth in data roaming charges.

:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhedgehog:
The easiest way i can think of would be to have the toggle on screen, and when you want to sync, you turn it on, manually refresh the emails and then turn it off again.

if you have data roaming blocked, it will override the 'always on mobile data' setting, so no, when roaming is turned off, nothing will connect when you are abroad.

honestly though, android is not ready for business really, which is why HTC are pitching it at the consumer market mainly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsirhc6x:
I am in the same position, just want to be clear, with the "toggle" will it stop all data? (including browser, mms texts, apps updating) i only want these when i have wifi.

thanks in advance
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhedgehog:
to make it absolutely clear:

When at home,. turn mobile data off and NOTHING can access GPRS.

When roaming on another network when abroad, turn data roaming off and GPRS is blocked. To access GPRS, you have to turn data roaming AND mobile data on to access GPRS.

The Data roaming toggle has precedence over the Mobile data toggle.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] DeadManDan:
Upgraded memory card on hero from stock 2gb (unknown class) to a 16gb class2 card.

Connected Hero via usb - transfered off all files (including copilot maps and custom notifications/ringtones/music etc).

Replaced memory card - connected up and transfered all files back to new memory card and rebooted phone to make sure all widgets/apps initialised properly.

At first everything seemed to be ok - pretty much tested everything that touches the memory card - game saves, copilot, music, photos, video playback is acceptable (some slight jitters with other open apps or many widgets open - recommend making a blank/video playback home profile to counter this and killing apps down), pdf viewer.

However, the fun started when I received my first text message (I had SD notifications option set to on and had picked my custom notification sound). Instead of hearing my notification one of the bundled stock tunes (Colette - Push) played instead as the notification sound IN FULL !!! and couldn't find any way to stop it.

I am assuming this music file is the very first file listed in internal memory therefore if any problems with custom notifications it will play this instead (for a full 4mins or so)!!

So is this an issue with the read time of the memory card? An intermittant memory card (everything seems ok - been using the phone as mp3 player and not noticed any problems with audio and/or video playback) ? Or a bug in software somewhere?

I might try a wipe/reformat in the device and see if that works - any other suggestions?

:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Dayzee:
Ringtones are less picky, but for Custom Notifications and alarms, I've found the fone doesn't accept them unless they are stored on the SD card with the same folder heirachy as on the device

Make a folder called media and inside create one called audio and inside THAT create ringtones, alarms, notifications

Put the stuff you want for each in its respective folder

paths should be sd/media/audio/alarms sd/media/audio/notifications and sd/media/audio/ringtones

Like I say, I've found ringtones are fine left anywhere on the SD, but Alarms and notification sounds need to be in those folders.

Also, when you put them in, you may need to restart for them to show up in a list for apps like alarm clock etc.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] ewans:
I think I had the same issue - after changing the card, first text I got resulted in the phone playing a random tune from my mp3 folder. Re-selecting the notification sorted it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] DeadManDan:
I had already created the directories for media\audio\notifications (and alarms and ringtones).

I have reformatted the card, recreated media\audio\notifications and placed a single mp3 notification file. Enabled SD notifications and selected the file as default notification.

Tested and works ok.

Filled the rest of the media card with music/video etc

Received a text after all of that and it played a music track from \mp3 folder instead of the notification sound !!! after testing now - doesn't matter if i try to use a stock notification it will always use the same track for every text i receive !!!

what the hell is going on ?

reboots/reselecting the notification/enabling or disabling SD notifications - doesn't matter it always plays the mp3 track all 4mins and 22 secs for every text !!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rhedgehog:
I had something similar.

When i had sd card notifications ticked, it began playing random tunes whenever i plugged into the computer.

turned that off and it stopped.

as for getting my ringotnes and notifications to appear, i have folders on the root of the SD card, one called ringtones, and one called notifications

no capitals in the names at all.

straight away after i did that, the files appeared in the selection lists. I didn't even have to restart.

Did the same on a colleague's magic and they showed up immediately, but on my other colleague's orange hero, it didn't work.

If you have a t-mobile one, just do the two folders on the root, and turn sd card notifications off.

you'll get the sounds available, without the random noises.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] werziluk:
hey guys, i dont know if people are still suffering from this problem but i found a way to solve it.

It seems to happen when you either, format your SD/get a new one or apply a custom ROM. It doesnt seem to make a difference to ringtones.

Use Dayzee's file directories information and then go into settings>sound & display and select your notification tone as normal, turn SD tones OFF. Now go into your message inbox and press MENU then go to SETTINGS and scroll down to the bottom and go to SELECT SOUND.

Match the sound to the one you picked in the normal sound & display settings menu and problem should be solved :)

You could try following the cid-unlock thread. I'm not sure but when you get to the bootloader / tri color screen then you should be able to CID-unlock it. After the CID-unlock you just flash a carrier ROM or a (custom) ROM you like. If you are looking for your original ROM, try the Wizard wiki, if you can't find it there start a new thread asking for the specific rom you need. Do not forget to mention the carrier (tmobile in your case), language, country, etc..

There are some threads about unbricking a Wizard, try the XDA search plugin. I know you get the tri color screen but maybe this will work for you: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=294107

I tried to get my X1 repaired after finding some problems with antireflex coating of camera lenses. Problem is, that TMobile returned my phone without any repairs telling me that they found oxidation on the phone board next to USB connector. And they rejected any repairs under guarantee because of it. Its supposed to happen when you expose phone to moisture, like calling in rain or using phone when temperature is bellow freezing point.

I dont want to hide that I call in rain sometimes (who doesnt), but i cover phone with my hand so no water goes directly on it and of course i call in winter. It seemed to me that they wanted just to avoid guarantee repair, which is kinda disappointing...
