Does it means that GPS should support TMC(Traffic Message Channel ) service?

IGO can't see any TMC hardware in my Sunn HDi (wm 6.5)
[General Questions and Answers] bipinsen:
I don't think it means anything.. TMC needs a FM receiver, which this unit does not appear to have.

Hi, is this for the tri-band or the quad band?
[General Questions and Answers] ronbo76:
I have a tri-band phone; so, we know it works on that version. However, another thread tells how to enable quad-bands on my Blackstone Clone. I really don't think band matters but really don't know.
[General Questions and Answers] bipinsen:
For those still following this thread, I have a few more things to talk about. So far I have a love/hate relationship with the phone. I love the fact that its WM. But then I find that there's a bunch of things I can't do. For example, I just installed Microsoft Tag Reader. What a great idea! The only problem is that the internal camera does not take any pictures. The program keeps looking for the user to push the "Action" button, but no button on the phone takes the picture. Oh well..

Then there's my continued disappointment with not having a FM radio...

Anyway, I did a couple more videos. If anyone wants to view them, here they are:

Sunno HDi IMEI Change

Hi

Can anyone let me know the software/tool/procedure to change the IMEI on Sunno HDi?

Over here in our country (India), network services have been barred to unregistered IMEI phones.

We have our Government approved IMEI with us, but we don't have the tool/software to implant it.

Kindly help us.

Sunno hdi reset procedure

Hello guys

I thought I'reply to this post, since a lot of people are having the same problem.

I have just reset my SUNNO HDI with WM6.5, using the Restore Value icon on the menu screen. Here is the procedure:

1) Go to the Start Menu

2) Press System

2)Press Reset Restore Value

3)Enter 0000

4)press the OK key

5)Press the Restore Value

6)if asked, confirm to start reset.

The phone should now reset to the factory setting. Make sure you backup all your important data stored on the phone memory, as it would be erased during reset. The memory card data is not erased, so you don't need to worry about that.

Hope this help.

I don't know what's going on, but my batteris are not working.

I got my phone two weeks ago. The first battery stopped working after two days - it was empty and the phone turned off, then I couldn't turn it on. I replaced the battery with second one and the phone started working.

And today the same thing happened... Now I really don't know what to do.

Do you know which batteries suit for sunno hdi?
[General Questions and Answers] ronbo76:
I noticed that my a/c charger did not charge the phone or its batteries. If anything it held the charge steady and it seem to be declining when I inserted the second battery.

Since then I have noticed that my device charges better from a USB PC connection with it in the fully off position. What I will do is turn off the phone and connect it to my spare laptop to charge. While off, the phone will show the charge state if the button on the lower right side is depressed. If it is charging, the battery symbol will sweep back and forth. When fully charged, the battery will show a fully lit green battery.

Leaving the phone off with the screen set to turn off after one while connected to my laptop gave me false indications. When I would turn on the screen to see if it was fully charged, the progress rate would drop several percentage points and sometimes hang or lag as a result. I stopped charging this way in favor of the first method I recommended.

If this is not successful:

I chatted with my eBay seller and he said it is hard if not impossible at this time to get spare parts for the Sunno HDi. If I was you, I would google Sunno Hdi and find someone in China who sells these phones wholesale. Most of the eBay Sellers drop ship their phones from the wholesale shops. If you're lucky you'll find one who sells batteries.
[General Questions and Answers] illbeback:
Oh, thanks man! it's working!

I shoud have asked before, because probably the first battery lost its strength (capacity), since it wasn't charged for long time
[General Questions and Answers] ronbo76:
I don't think the capacity should be adversely affected as only two weeks have elapsed. Unless you expose your battery to temperature extremes and do not fully charge/discharge it, capacity should not be affected for at least a year (I hope).

Since the Sunno HDi's are relatively new, we probably will not know what the battery shelf life is for a while.

What I do is use one battery daily and use its full charge by running a program that will slowly discharge the remaining charge. Then I charge it in the evening to give a full charge. Once I see the full green battery by pressing the right lower camera button, I remove the Clone from the laptop. I then remove that battery and put in the other fully charged battery.

I alternate them in this way and carry both on days I know I might need a spare to record video. I have not tried to use the USB car charger but after seeing the failure of the a/c charger, I doubt it would work either. I am also leery about exposing my Sunno to a cigarette charger.

Please charge at least battery before using your phone and you should be okay. I don't use mine while it is charging and leave it completely off as per my recommendation.

IPAQ 900 series have a unique 10 pins USB connector

He knows if someone fits the Sunno Hdi USB?

if it will fit we can use this 3.5mm audio adapter

http://www.repairhppda.com/chargesync35mm-audio-adapter-for-610612614610c612c614c-p-1182.html
[General Questions and Answers] bipinsen:
I know your problem is solved, but this is for an FYI. The charger that came with the HDi is pretty useless. It's only a 0.5A charger, and when your battery falls below a certain threshold (maybe below 35-40%), there is not enough output current in the charger to charge the battery. You'll actually see the reverse take place - the battery will start losing its charge. If you want a wall charger, find one that's rated for 1A. The PC trick also works since the USB connection gives out 1A. I use my old Motorola Razr charger.

Anyone tries to cook the "img" ROM, because my Sunno HDi always seem to be disconnected to the GSM signal. So I have to turnoff the connection "call" and turn on again. Maybe the new ROM can update the radio version, use new \windows\shutdown.exe that you can modify the shutdown screen etc.

Hard reset

I have info from Chinese seller - Sunno HDi doesn´t support hard reset. Only way how to solve dead Sunno is to use English ROM from this forum, thanks for it. I should say - it is better than my original ROM, where battery indicator was still full .

Do not buy this phone - camera poor (very slowly 1 - 2 picture/minute and not quality pictures in dark areas), wifi has very low signal, very long time charging (max. 200 mA only) ...

You should be able to find a ROM in your native language and use the procedures/download available in my post within this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4963387&postcount=173

The ROM will need to be an IMG file and you will need an XP computer to do the flash. The best thing that I like about this flash method is that you do not have to turn on the phone or do a hard reset prior to flashing it.

Worst case (assuming you don't do something stupid that bricks your phone), you could use the download in that link and flash your phone to WM6.5 in English. Be careful to follow all the steps and make sure you read everything prior to doing the flash so as to ensure that you understand fully what you're going to do.

No guarantees but at least if you follow the listed steps you could have a phone with WM6.5 in English. . .
[General Questions and Answers] ronbo76:
I just got back from a long driving trip and found a nice way of charging my phone using a cigarette lighter USB charger and the USB cable that came with my Clone. I remembered that long ago I had received a cigarette lighter USB charger (see http://cgi.ebay.com/500mAh-Car-Cigarette-Lighter-to-USB-Charger-for-MP3-Mp4_W0QQitemZ130293033992 for an example of what the plug looks like). Prior to the trip, I tried the charger and it worked perfectly.

I would recommend starting your vehicle first with the USB charger plugged into your cigarette lighter prior to connecting your Clone via the USB charging cable. Then once your car is running steady, plug this cable into the cigarette charging USB port. You want to make sure that the little light on the cigarette charging plug is lit before plugging in the cable.

I tested this configuration with a dead battery and a battery with less than 10 percent charge left.

In the first case, I let the phone charge for two minutes and turned on the phone. The Clone powered on as per normal and I turned on the GPS followed by activating iGO8. I was able to drive, charge the phone and use the GPS/iGO8 while I drove. The phone charged normally and I could even tell from iGO8's battery meter what percentage the phone was charging to.

The second case was basically the same. I started up my truck and had my phone's charge below 10 percent. With the phone on, I inserted the cable into the cigarette USB port and it began to charge immediately. Again, I turned on the GPS and iGO8.

On the long trip I basically had the phone on with the GPS and iGO8 running. About halfway during the trip (about 3 hours in), I plugged in the phone and it charged as per normal.

Normally, I would not recommend this method for charging a smartphone like our Clones but know it works and that my batteries/Clone still work. A week later and all is fine.

The cigarette USB charger plugs are pretty cheap and can be bought in most good electronic or auto stores as well as on eBay.

Energizer XP4001 USB Recharger recommendation

Wow! I just bought an Energizer XP4001 USB Recharger for $20 USD at Fry's Electronics and it is charging my phone at a great rate. Two hours ago the battery charge was 20 percent. After hooking it up to the XP4001, it is now sitting at 65 percent.

Normally, when I charge the phone off my laptop, it does not charge as well.

This charger normally retails for $59.99 USD at Fry's. It is on sale until tomorrow at $20 USD. If you have a Fry's next to you, I'd highly recommend buying one. You can also see or buy them from the following eBay search:

http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=energizer+xp4001&_sacat=0&_trksid=p3286.m270.l1313&_odkw=energizer+usb&_osacat=0

By the way, when I went on Fry's website to look at its full details, the price is listed as $179.99 USD which is what I believe the product retailed for last year. You can read all its details at this Fry's URL:

http://www.frys.com/product/6103269?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

Additionally, there is inside the package a website supposedly connected to Energizer dot com that give you a new charging tip each year after registering there. I have 364 days to go. . .

problem with charging

You are not alone with this problem. It is one from more problems with this phone - charging, hard reset from boot, very low wifi signal, very poor camera etc.

Maximum charging of electric current is 200 mA ( I measured it), it means you should load minimally 6 hours to full capacity without using phone. When is switch on display + wifi + other programs- consumption of electricity is 300 - 500 mA , it is more than maximum charging current. :(

On Sunno HDi charger is written 500 mA but it is maximum charging current for this charger, not really value of charging current in phone.

I repeat again: my result by measuring charging current = 200 mA in phone !! It is no solution to buy charger with 1 A current, in phone it will be still 200 mA.

Only what I used (but not recommend to try - it is very risky) in case of totally dead second battery and not starting charging in phone - was a universal stabilized charger RC1000 (max current 1 A, 220 V) with 7,5 V directly connected to +/- on battery outside phone, after 5 minutes was battery on 20 % and was possible to start charging in phone.
[General Questions and Answers] infobg:
Hello, if you have a serious problem with the battery, I may suggest that you switch it off and charge it for 5-6 hours. It is necessary to avoid the lazy battery effect. Do not use any other charging devices except the original one as it may cause an internal short circuit and fire. The battery charger current is 200-300мА. Make several full charge and discharge cycles. Now I'm working on a website creation of Sunno cellphones.
