So I went thru the root process shortly after it got figured out. great work to everyone. I had everything running smooth today I did the daredevil process to get back to 32b and all was well. I loaded a hero rom on there and did not repartition my sd card first so was obvious that it was running too laggy. decided to do a restore from last backup to go back to the 32b rom and realized after it was done that there was no backup since I went from 32a. now I am stuck at the red vodafone screen and cant get passed it for obvious reasons. I can get to fastboot but that is it and unfortunatley I am at work so cant update drivers to get sdk tools working to fastboot anything. I dont think I am totally screwed (since I can get to fastboot) but wanted to see if anyone had some ideas. I can download files and transfer them to my sd card as I have a reader with me (just in case)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] KarrdeNZ:
You should just be able to boot a recovery image via fastboot and reflash a 32b ROM from the SD card. If you can get to fastboot, you're not bricked ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] boosted22:
guess it was a good thing I created my goldcard on a 128mg sd card that I had and kept the goldcard on that just in case still have that with the sappimg on it. just in case
[Mogul, XV6800 General] spongeracer:
I have spent the last two days reading all the past forums on the problems that people are having with the mogul being stuck in the bootloader screen. I find my problem a little more unique. My phone, about three months ago would get stuck in the bootloader screen after I did a soft reset. I could get out of it if I plugged a cord into the mini usb on the phone. Now I can't. I can't get it out of the bootloader at any effort. I have never tried to upgrade the rom or anything. Its all stock. I tried downloading the exit boot loader program, the program says it worked, my phone will shut off on its own and then go back into the bootloader screen to no avail. I even took it to the sprint repair and they said it is a brick. I'm at my last straw, anyone have any ideas before I give up and buy a new phone.

Thanks.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
you have a hardware failure. Time for a new phone.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] spongeracer:
I was worried about that. Thanks for the info.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] spongeracer:
Just a little update. Although my phone never connects through active sync, I can upload rom, at least it shows it going through 100% on the phone screen. After the upload it goes back to the bootloader screen and is stuck again. Is this still a dead phone?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
Yes it is dieing
[Mogul, XV6800 General] wjdobson:
Mine did the same. Did a hard reset and put on the latest ROM...fixed and going strong.

btw, take out your mini SD before the reset...hope it works out and you havent trashed the phone...Sprint repair told me the same thing..DOA...can't hurt to try it.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] ilusnforc:
Just on 9/14 I began to experience the same problem with a refurb that I was sent just 5 months ago as a warranty replacement to my original phone. I also made this post in another thread about it:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4547989&postcount=18

I've been calling Sprint over and over about it, they refuse to do anything about it. I was told just a few days before this problem began that they would allow me $150 towards a new phone upgrade with a 2 year contract extension, but now they tell me I can't do that until January and they can't find any notes about it from the person who told me I could do it. I was told I would be given a new retail packaged phone, instead I got a refurb that lasted me 5 months. I've been nothing but lied to by Sprint, when I got the refurb they said I had 30 days to add insurance on it and they would send me a new phone, I said I would think about it and call back within 30 days if I decide to get insurance, but they put it on my account anyway without my permission. It took me 5 months to get them to finally take the insurance off my account on 9/11 and just 3 days later it starts having this problem... argh... any ideas or ways to get through with Sprint to get more towards an upgrade?

I was wanting to get the Touch Pro 2, if I wait until January they will offer me $150 for 2 year contract extension and $100 mail in rebate bringing the $600 price tag down to $350. I paid $300 initially for my mogul and now have a 5 month old dying refurb. I think sprint should offer me at least half my money back from my Mogul for another $150 towards an upgrade bringing the Touch Pro 2 down to $200 which is far more reasonable, after all Verizon is offering the same phone for $200 with 2 year contract. I was talking with retentions for the 2nd time today threatening to cancel, yesterday they were offering to get me to the Advanced Tech Support to do an advance exchange for a new phone of a different model (I was thinking they might offer a Touch Pro) and transferred me, then when the tech support asked for my wireless number I gave it to them then the call got disconnected, looked like they had hung up on me. When I called today they told me otherwise, and the only offer they would make me is to allow me out of my current contract with Sprint so I could cancel my service and find another provider. I'm on the $30/mo SERO plan... of course I don't REALLY want to leave Sprint... Does anyone have any other strategy for pushing Sprint to keep a customer and offer at least SOMETHING? I don't know what else to do, I've wasted so much time with Sprint and haven't been getting anywhere with them.

BTW: when I took it to a Sprint store they offered to re-flash the ROM on it but said there is an equal chance of fixing it or bricking it, but they would not offer any liability if it got bricked. I can flash the ROM myself with activesync just as well as they can, I can I brick it just as well as they can, do you think it's worth attempting it and that might fix it? Or is there any REAL potential for bricking my phone?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
Just do an advanced replacement online through sprint.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] ilusnforc:
It will not allow me to do an advance exchange or upgrade on Sprint's website, it directs me to sprint.com/everythingplus because I am on the SERO 500 plan. I also tried calling 888-882-4030 which is the number for Sales for employee referral accounts and was given the same price on the Touch Pro 2, it's not any different for SERO accounts or online, it's all the same.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
Well if you go to ppcgeeks and look at the touch pro 2 section people are getting the TP2 with sero at the regular upgrade price with an extension.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] wassimmikati:
I've got an issue and I'd like to know if anyone else is getting this. I've read the forum threads but I don't know what's considered "normal".

Well, simply put my battery power is pretty poor. With no GPS or push internet, my backlight on Auto, and “moderate” usage (8 hours standby, 90 mins on the phone and 3 hours “other” ranging from Internet to games to taking notes), my battery is almost wiped out! I can't get through the day!

This is a far cry from the specs on the HTC website (which claims up to 340 minutes’ talk time), and from reviews I’ve seen saying their phone lasted a few days without charging. Is this normal or do I need to get a battery replacement? My previous phone - an HTC Trinity - seems to have much longer-lasting power (beyond the simple difference in mAh).

I know, some people might consider the usage above to be "heavy" but as phones evolve to take on more and more functions, of course you're going to end up using those functions. I do have TF3D on (I know that appears to guzzle more power).

I am considering the 2200mAh battery but would prefer not to get it because of the thicker profile.

Comments or advice appreciated!

Thanks,

Wassim
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pa49:
Sounds pretty 'normal' to me.

Make sure you keep your phone on charge whenever possible as this will maximise the useable capacity when not being charged.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Pete_S:
You've summed it up - we use our phone with it's lovely screen much more than before.

This is where the battery goes, Internet and Games!

When you leave your phone overnight with nothing running, no push internet etc, the battery should only go down, say, 3-4% at a guess, which would indicate the battery's OK. If extrapolated, this indicates a few days standby only usage.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] wassimmikati:
That's fair enough Pete. I'll test that out.

HTC website says the phone should last up to 360 hours on standby. Therefore 8 hours should use up 2.2% of the battery, say 3-3.5% to account for inaccuracy in the battery readings.

Unfortunately my battery only reads in increments of 10%, how do I display the remaining power to the nearest 1%?

Thanks,

Wassim
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Pete_S:
There's loads of free alternative battery metering schemes, my own fave is "Batti", which puts a coloured bar full width across the top of the screen which shrinks as the charge goes down. If you touch the bar with stylus, you get a page with charge shown 0-100% in 1% increments. Batti's very configurable too.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] luigug:
Unfortunately the duration life of your battery is normal for the stock one.

I have these performance for the battery:

- half day for an intensive use

- one day for a normal use

- one day and half for a low use.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Pete_S:
I'll go with that, give or take...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] akirius:
LOL...you are actually having a better luck than I

I think I actually damaged my battery by left it in the car for too long =(

the moment you insert your sim card into pro2,it is able to use gprs instantly.

just open any web browser,you are in.

in case gprs is not working,go to start up---settings---connections---connection configuration(or maybe connection setting),choose your country and service privider correctly.

[G1 Apps and Games] brian_v3ntura:
meridian is pretty good.

i like the controls on it. you dont have to use the search bar. u can swipe your finger from left to right to fast forward and vice versa. and touch the screen anywhere one to pause.

but to my knowledge lukluk is the only player that streams movies. but its best to stream those movies over wifi since the g1 has a 10gig data cap per month when using edge or 3g services

(Not installed yet since I have Panda Firewall installed)

Does it come with a toggle widget for SMS blockage?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] thl16888:
There is no toggle widget in current version. This is a start for aFirewall. Many features will be added in in the near future.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Switchbitch:
Can I ask a question about this....

Does the call blocking feature block the call completely? I tried Panda but found that blocked calls would ring briefly but then go to voicemail, so I would still get notifications of missed calls. You can already block numbers with the Hero (send to voicemail in contact settings) so I found it pointless.

Does this app block calls to the point that you don't know if a blocked number has called unless you look at the log? This sort of thing is what I'm looking for.

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Switchbitch:
Edit: Double post
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] thl16888:
Thanks for your attention. No ring and notifications of missed calls will be reported out in aFirewall. You can contact me to get a copy to make a try at first. My email is hongliang.t@gmail.com.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] ntphuong:
I have some comments:

1. It still make the notification on screen after the call (even disable notification) but did not show in the call history

2. When I block sms as "Accept contact only", it blocked all SMS from my contact people. For example, number in contact is 0902239000 and contact in SMS is +84902239000 (always show that) actually is the same but the program did not know.

3. When I block sms as "Block unknown number" then sometimes it can block the number not in the contact, sometimes could not.

4. When I block the call as "Accept contact only", it block all call from my contact

2 - d2s 60000000 00300000 sd a

and everything was going fine until i tried to do the 3º command "d2s 70000000 01080000 sd a" and got the following error:

DOC_ReadBinary is fail: dwStartAddress=0,dwReadSize=40000.

After that i formated my DOC and even re-updated the ROM, but every time i tried to back it up to the SD the same error would popup.

The strange thing is that all the S.O. works fine without any problem.

The device is O2 XDA IIi - PH10C

Thanks in advance for any help.

I've tried, iGo, Google Maps and now TomTom in standalone GPS with no success whatsoever.

What am I doing wrong?
[Touch Pro CDMA] drdrewdown:
did you install the alltell provisioning cab in the attachments on the first post of the NFSFAN thread? that is needed to make the GPS work. be sure to soft reset after & it should work.

I'm pretty sure I did.

I installed again and soft reset to still no avail on google maps or tomtom.

Hi,

sorry if this has been asked before.

My MDA compact V (td2) should be coming tomorrow, and it is the first winmo that i will have. I havent got a clue what to expect, cuz videos and pictures only tell you so much about a mobile OS.

So im just basically asking for any help/tips/advice on what i should do with it to begin with. like what software should i install, what screen protector, how to charge the battery etc.

Ive heard that you need to charge a battery right the first time you get a phone, otherwise it will never be the same? any advice on this?

Any help, not just about the above, would be appreciated.

thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sephyr:
I'd like to have some tips aswell ! =)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxcherry:
I've got a Compact V after years of having SE and Nokia handsets.

Id say the only difference is the way the phone settings work. You can change some settings with TF3D, but for more advanced settings, you have to use the WM interface which is similar to Control Panel in windows.

You will get a screen protector in the box along with a a pLeather case, you MUST get the screen protector right the first time. Its quite rigid so can handle being applied and taken off, but the moment you get a fingerprint or speck of dust on it, its over. You just get horrendous huge bubbles underneath and you end up taking it off. Just wash your hands before you peel it off its backing and try and get it right the first time.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris5s:
I'd say have a look at the wiki here -

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Topaz

This was my first winmo phone too, I'd say they are fairly user friendly and easy to get to grips with. Just have a good play around with it and you'll likely get a feel for it fairly quickly.

Once you get to know it a bit, you may want to customise it - well, you will want to! Max TF3D Theme Maker is great for this. There's a wealth of apps and games out there too, but this site is my main source for any add-ons I want or general info.

Cheers

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kman123:
Thank you for the advice, its appreciated.

I cant get my phone till monday now cuz the guy came while i was out, so i missed the delivery :( .

But i will definitely try out everything that has been suggested, first thing i will do is wash my hands, and get the screen protector right,cuz i know that will annoy me no end if i get that wrong and then after about a day or two, im positive i will be customising the phone like crazy to see what can be done.

Thanks again for the advice.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxcherry:
The only thing I miss about having an S60 phone was the Nokia PC Suite. Everything you ever needed was in one package. (Phonebook editing/send texts/transfer files/backup/restore your contents/internet sharing/convert music/Sync files and media/update firmware/install apps)

With WM you have to use ActiveSync which only handles a tiny portion of the above, the rest there is software available to download, but it was more convenient to have it all there in one place.

The Compact V ROM is good, but it obviously geared towards directing you towards their pay services like Mobile TV and Jukebox meaning you get a couple of useless extra tabs in the TF3D but you can remove these if you want. You also might have some issues installing some of the tweaks and apps from xda-dev as they were all designed for the HTC ROM. Stuff like the facebook fix doesnt work.

The main downside to the compact v rom is you do not get the youtube app. You can view youtube by using the m.youtube.com like from the tmobile homepage, but the quality is horrendous. It uses the inbuilt Streaming Media Player and the video is in 3gp format meaning it looks like its been taped off a 1.3mp cameraphone and the sound is awful.

I ended up downloading HardSPL which in effect unlocks your phone meaning you can put any ROM on there, and then downloaded the official HTC ROM that ships with the D2 and flashed that to the handset.

I now have the official youtube client and the video and sound quality is flawless :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris5s:
Here's some of the software I installed :

Core player - video playback that supports any format

Max TF3D Theme Maker - customise user interface

Sporty Pal - GPS tracking software

e-Natives Showcase - task manager

Nitrogen - music playback

Pocketscreen - screen capture program

Resco Explorer - file manager/explorer

Total Commander - same as above (can't remember how I ended up with both, I don't actually use Total Commander all that much)

Soft reset / shutdown app from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=535121&highlight=soft+reset

Pocket Uno - great game :D

There's other stuff, too, that comes with the ROM (stock or otherwise) - google maps, that king of stuff.

The GPS tracking facility is great, I use that a lot. I had a BlackBerry that had this functionality, but there's so much software available for winmo platform, it rocks. And a shed load of free stuff, too.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l0wey:
If you are new to WinMo I always tell people to treat it like Windows (if you use that on your PC), they are essentaillly identical - and just as frustrating to use.

I use WinMo myself so I'm not bashing it it is just a mindset.

Remember to soft reset whenever things go flaky - and they will.

Then you can start troubleshooting - unfortunate but that's the way it is.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fru T Bunn:
I hate to say this but I would read through this forum and learn to use the search. When I started I hated that advice but it really is worth doing. There's a response to almost any question here and given the Topaz room is reasonalbly small compared to say the Diamond one, there's a far bigger chance you'll find what you are looking for quickly.

I've only been here for a few months and have learnt everything from this forum. Searching means you'll stumble upon other posts containing information you can apply too (eg Opera updates, theme's add-ons etc). I also cook my own ROMs now, something I didn't think would be possible when I first started.

You did ask for a tip ;)
