Thanks!

Yes Sir,

I also used a transparent clear tape to close the battery lid tightly and also put a piece of folded paper between the battery and the lid i.e. inside the lid so that battery fits in snugly.It is done.And yes it is almost unnoticable.:D

Now the only problem is I cannot swap the SD cards easily.

Since I noticed that on this thread/forum people are awake and alert I may as well put some querries.

I have flashed Athena with michyprima 6.5.

The problem is with the today menu.

The items to select from the today menu do not appear as they should.

Sometimes some items are not shown in the options altogether.

And how to disable the Touchflow appearing on the today screen?I unchecked the bpx many times in the today items selection but it still keeps appearing.:mad:

And is there any reg hack/setting to rotate the screen from portrait to landscape when it gets in contact with the keyboard.

Please reply or should I start a new thread for this?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] JonSlater:
Have you made absolutely sure that the metal clip on the battery is slid into the right hole? If it's not, or if that clip slides too freely and comes out of the hole, the battery will not be making proper contact. This can be the case with some third party batteries. I had to take the clip from my old battery and swap it onto my replacement battery.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] kalya:
Metal clip

Jonslater

The metal clip is fine.The lid is the problem.

Anyone has answers to my querries posted above?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] jimmunsw:
Hi there every athena owners ,

I like to add this :- u can use a thin double sided tape - of about 1mm in thickness ( stick a few to get that thickness if yrs is very thin ) and cut and paste to the edge of yr athena battery - where the same row of the charging pins are ( but not covering the pins area - ok ? ) , make sure it is of a better quality type like 3m brand or equivalent ... , push yr battery into the slot all the way in and make sure the tape sticks properly n firmly , then push the metal pin down firmly , then u slot in a piece of paper on the top and bottom of the slit area between the battery and the battery slot area to add more wedging so that it really wont move anymore , and then stick additional thicker of 1mm tapes on the closing door flap ( this one is one sided tape ok ? ), then close it tightly n firmly . lets see if it will cut off power to yr athena now , after u r done , pls dont shake it too hard , i hope this will work for u , it is no sure thing and i hv not tried it before , mine is in pristine condition , i takes care of it like a baby from day 1 and still do !, thks for reading - jimmunsw :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ElCondor:
Try re-flashing hard-spl 1.40 unsigned by OliNex.

After that, flash a stock ROM. Then flash another rom you like, and perform a hard-reset.

Maybe this helps.
[Touch GSM General] Jad Morffier:
Got a HTC P3450 that won't respond to anything. Plug in USB, nothing. Plug in charger, nothing. Hard reset, nothing.

Throw in the bin or is resurrection possible?
[Touch GSM General] jeremy89632:
Can you try to press the power + camera button together?

Do you see a bootloader screen.

If the phone still wont start , it maybe one of these issues.

- Battery totally dead

- Motherboard Issue (Which you are screwed)

- Power button issue.
[Touch GSM General] Jad Morffier:
Ok I tried the power + camera button together and nothing happened.

I have two batteries and neither work. I tried power + camera button together with the unit plugged into the power socket and via USB and that didn't do anything either.

So I guess it's down to a bad motherboard or a power button issue. Although if it was just a power button issue the charge light or something would come on or something yeh?
[Touch GSM General] cx5:
100% no power on, everything tried

I bricked my ELF01000 but Dopod 601 China by ....

shameful mistake of rebuilding the ROM without erasing the "backup" word from: -

backup_GSM.nb

backup_IPL.nb

backup_mainsplash.nb

backup_os.nb

backup_spl.nb

hence now can't even power on from

1. camera+power+reset once and hold camera+power

2. phone dial and disconnect together + reset once and hold phone dial and disconnect

3. regular reset

4. battery removed - plugged in USB

5. battery removed - plugged in adaptor from mains

6. battery inside + USB or mains

7. battery from another elf with over 70% power

8. plugged into adaptor from mains overnight 8 hours

9. all no orange light on the indicator

Even if every software code is wrong, the indicator light should be ON right???

all failed

simply won't power on,

if only can get into bootloader >>...........
[Touch GSM General] jeremy89632:
Ohmy, thats bad.

Could it be like a bad motherboard or connector issue?
[Touch GSM General] cx5:
actually it's not my own ELF, sorry!!! misinformed you all.

It's my friend's Dopod S1.

I've surrendered my ELF HK english WWE to him as a replacement.

Currently using Asus P552w GalaxyMini2, although much faster but extremely unstable and buggy :(

resisting to buy a blackstone :(, may be will try the rumoured release of LEO ????

Anyway, still hope someone can provide some light to this "can't power on at all issue".
[Touch GSM General] jeremy89632:
If you are using a genuine htc elf.

You can try the gold card and unbricking methods at the htc upgrading forum.
[Touch GSM General] jeremy89632:
Get an android phone, under htc, heard that it was better.
[Touch GSM General] cx5:
Hi Jeremy (nice to have someone to chat with, thanks)

I believe my friend's ELF is a genuine unit, it had pof's SPL 1.11. And a Chinese guy cooked his own rom and named it Guilin2008.02.22. Plus I could dump everything using the "automated backup.bat". Device ID by dsixda also read well.

The problem now is it could not even turn on to white screen or bootloader. I though at least it must have some power response, or else gold card unbricker won't start right?

So you recommend the "android" ..... I haven't study it at all..... though keep to WM, easy WMDC with outlook each..... plus I'm itching to get a bigger screen type, like blackstone, but ouch it's not only big, but expensive too.

Say, ELF's 200Mhz sometimes feel faster than Niki's 400Mhz (my director's unit), and also faster than Blackstone's 528Mhz (my CEO's unit). I think blackstone uses too many 3D ...... if I ever get one, must replace the rom with light versions...

Anyway, learning to cook my own now, only managed to dump, but still don't understand enough to cook.... well keep reading :)
[Touch GSM General] jeremy89632:
Hello CX5,

Thanks alot for dropping by XDA, without you, there wont be me, either.

Yeah, I feel that those devices with more processing power, HTC would usually like to cramp lots of useless animations to the device, thus taking up more space and more power and make the phone slower, so you will buy a new set soon.

Talking about your elf, I cant really help, you may have to drop by your closest service centre for a checkup. I am only more technically inclined to software issues, so hopefully, someone with technical knowledge is able to help you with this.

Android is really a good OS, I managed to install it on my ELF recently, just to give a spin on how it works. Its great, good to use and most importantly, open source.

I seen the newspaper recently, and have you heard about that famous MP3 player brand called Creative, those people originated from my hometown, Singapore. They recently lauched a new phone which comes with their own OS or Google Android, and it cost around $120 USD for Telecoms to buy and rebrand themselves.

I clearly see Android being the next OS, and on top of that, Microsoft's Office is teaming up with Nokia, to install Microsoft Office Mobile onto Nokia Symbian phones.

With that,

I wish you all the best for your phone ( A New one, probably :D )

Jeremy
[Touch GSM General] cx5:
Thanks again Jeremy

yeah, my friend's send the wrongly_flash ELF to a hwardware repair, let you know outcome later.

say, just realized Iolite is 528Mhz, I'm able to get it at RMB 1.8k ~ USD225, was my favorite choice before laying eyes on Blackstone.

hmmmmmm. android good on ELF eh............

ok, study study study...................
[Touch GSM General] jeremy89632:
Hahaha, you are from China?

I have so many China friends at my country in Singapore.

They do so well in maths and chinese, good talent!

--

To be frank with you, just choose a phone you like, and suit your budget and get it. Its too hard catching what is new as there is something new everyday.

Even for myself, im studying too. So ya, money is quite hard to come sometimes.

Iolite sound great, Blackstone is better.

Blackstone has so many apps available, and they have more support in their community there.

Have you checked out the android phones, htc magic and htc dream?

They are quite cool.

Best Of Luck in Studies,

Jeremy
[Touch GSM General] cx5:
Hi again

Actually I'm Malaysian, working in HK, often visit to factory in China, while my main customers in Taiwan, finally with little visit to customers in Japan.

Anyway, I still like the Iolite design, but screen is not big enough :(, while blackstones screen is big and nice, but complaining it can't fit into pocket comfortable. Anyway......

I haven't got a chance to study the android, magic or dream. Too busy working. But will someday.

Yes, best of luck to studies.

hello i receive my g1 yesterday. very happy so far. only problem i notice. is that my speaker stops working. what i mean is that one moment the speaker works and after some second i hear a little noise and stops works. after some seconds is working again. and this is happening all the time. does any body had this problem before
[G1 General] supremeteam256:
Need to post some info in order for us to help.
[G1 General] nearxos:
what info do you need ?
[G1 General] nearxos:
does anybody knows whats the problem with my speaker.? or if somebody has the same problem
[G1 General] addiosamigo:
the info he means is did you root it? what rom are you on?
[G1 General] xijulezix:
I have the same problem. It's happened twice on me now after the phone has been booted up for about 70 hours both times. Pretty much this is what happens for me...

Out of no where I notice that my Loud Speaker volume just weakens tremendously and becomes slightly crackly (very feint) as if it can't play at that volume anymore. After a reboot it works like normal. Although I don't know whats causing the problem. I'm on stock cupcake firmware right now.
[G1 General] supremeteam256:
Yea addiosamigos was right. I was asking about if your phone is rooted? What rom are you using? Did you do any audio hacks? And anything else helpfull that you might have done to your phone.
[G1 General] nearxos:
Hello sorry for the delay. Yes my phone is rooted and iuse acyanogen 4.01 rom now I didn't do any audio hacks. The problems existed before I rooted the phone. And two day ago my earpiece speaker died also. Don't know what's happening with my g1. Does anybody know where I can find spare parts for my g1
[G1 General] supremeteam256:
If it has happened on the stock rom and custom roms and wipes or different roms don't solve the problem then most likely a hardware issue. I would contact T-Mobile or HTC for a warranty replacement before trying to fix it yourself. The phone is still under a year old so its still covered.
[G1 General] nearxos:
unfortunately in my country there is no t-mobile and the phone i bought it from ebay
[G1 General] supremeteam256:
You can still contact HTC and see if they will cover it. The phone is still under a year old.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Deicist:
I had an idea last night that I want to try, but after some cursory poking around I can't see how to do it.

Basically, I want to take a Hero ROM, remove touchflo and replace it with the 'normal' android home, then skin the android home with a darker, hero-ish look. Also, maybe, include the modded launcher I've seen floating around that has 5 icons per row.

The aim here is to have a decent looking rom that keeps the good bits of hero (exchange / social networking integration, darker look, multitouch browser etc) without the memory guzzling touchflo interface. Obviously you wouldn't get the Hero widgets, but I'd rather have speed and stability than eye candy.

Anyway, the older hero roms I tried let you clear the defaults on touchflo and it would then prompt to start home instead when you pressed the home key... I think the orange build (that most hero builds are based off now) must have removed the standard home application because it's not there anymore. Digging through a couple of 'normal' android builds hasn't turned up anything as obvious as a 'home.apk' either... so I'm a bit stuck now.

could one of the rom guru's give me a hint as to where I should start looking?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Deicist:
okay, extracting the 'launcher.apk' from another build and doing 'adb install launcher.apk' fails with 'INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE'

hmm.

After about an hour of searching, this post is the closest to my same situation. My unlocked 32A HTC Magic/Sapphire has already been put through ADB and fastboot a few times to change out the ROM. I decided to try what appeared to be official HTC content from http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html#s4

Unfortunately I'm guessing those instructions are for 32B only? (Doesn't say one way or another, I now notice). I did the radio install using fastboot, and now the device boots to splash screen but no further. Cannot get into fastboot, cannot use ADB.

Can someone please confirm for me that there is no hope, before I go spend another $600 as punishment for not being smart enough to do this?

Thanks for your response :D

Worked on this during the summer, mostly because i wanted to read the books myself ;)

Regarding the VGA version,

Had problems with dynamically calculating the height of each page as the VGA device i tried the app on played tricks on the font size... 12 px font height, as an example, means nothing anymore since WM tries to compensate by resizing the fonts at runtime...

I think i solved it by adding a feature in the exe file that does the text box calculation. Have not had time to try it out though.

Ill keep you posted :)

New updates

New downloads for both QVGA/VGA :)

* Regarding white screens, try this:

Create a shortcut (.lnk) for the GSlide.exe OR create a new empty file cut and paste the text below, make the changes to the path and rename the new file to GSlide.lnk

142#"\Your Path\HPL_VGA\GSlide\GSlide.exe" "\Your Path\HPL_VGA\GSlide\Actions\Resources\Registry\BookShelf\Lovecraft\" "*.*" "Default"

When your done, try to execute this lnk file. This will probably work... I hope ;)

Ciao,

Lars

PS. For debuggers

The reason for the white screen, i would guess, is that the onApplicationStart script set in the context.xml for the Default context (looks like this <onApplicationStart>Context.BookShelf.onApplicationOpen.mscr</onApplicationStart>) runs into some kind of problem.

GSlide outputs all errors to a file called gslide.error.xml which youll find in the Actions directory. Check this file to see the error message and the stack trace.
