Hi, all.

I have an XDA Serra (Touch diamond pro) and have been very happy with it, it is my third xda so I kind of have a rough idea what I am doing but not to the extent that most of you guys do. When I first got the phone I syncd it with my outlook to transfer all my contacts etc, set up tom tom and some music, since then I have mostly used the disc drive function but I have installed some additional programs but the opperating system is untouched from the factory. Recently I wanted to recync my phone to back up all the data. I got this message:

Synchronisation can not be completed successfully. Reconnect the device and try again. If the problem persists .....etc.

So I searched through the 4 pages of topics on here and tried all the tricks. 3 different usb cables, checked and unchecked the box for advancd network functionality. Uninstalled and reinstalled activesync on my laptop, tried a different PC. tried syncing over bluetooth (connection successfull but the same message) I also started to loose contacts! some of which turned up in the contacs folder of outlook, some are lost to the ether.

Whilst connected to the computer through activesync I can exchange files and explore the phone as normal.

It also apears now that I cant install any software, tapping a cab file now does nothing. If i go to the remove programs page, there are NO programs displayed, just a white empty box so I cant delete any programs. I have updated the .NET framework and there are logs for versions 2 and 3.5.

If I were able to back up my contacts I would simply hard reset the lot and reinstall everything but as I cant I am a little reluctant.

Can anybody help??

If you need soft or hardware numbers, if you tell me what and where I will dig them out.

Cheers for reading all this and for any help.

Richard.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] supersanj:
Longshot as you are using a Stock ROM but do you have PIM Backup installed? You can backup your contacts with this.

Even if you don't, try installing the attached PIM Backup while you are connected via Activesync. It's an exe not a cab so hopefully you can install it. Then use it to backup your data.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Serrauser:
Thanks for that, that seemed to run ok so I will try a hard reset tonight.

Richard.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] supersanj:
No problem. After the hard reset you will need to install the PIM Backup again to restore your data.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Serrauser:
Bingo, all seems to work ok now. :D Much obliged for the advice.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
I tried using rom extractor program but some rom files can't be extracted. I wonder if anybody can help me extract sms_providers.dll from WM6.5 ROM that's running on manila 2.1? (preferably Dutty's R12)

I'm trying to bypass the HTc messaging apps that's found in manila 2.5 because it's lagging too much to be usable. I manage to do so but now I have a problem where the message count doesn't appear on the tab. I do some investigation and it looks like the count is not updated in the system registry (hkcu\system\state). So hopefully it's the dll in question that's creating the problem.
[P3600 ROM Development] carkev:
the eagle-eyed amongst may be aware via previous postings

that I am desperatley hoping to upgrade my Orange WM 5 Trinity to WM 6.1 with Orange.

my latest idea would be to somehow extract just the Orange branding only, from this rom:

RUU_HTC_TyTN_II_Kaiser_ORANGE_UK_3.28.61.0R_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship.exe

could I then re-flash with one of the good WM 6.1 roms from here, and then add the Orange.

would this be possible or feasable ?

PLEASE someone

tell me if I am on a wild goose chase or not

then at least I could find something else to occupy my old age ... AND stop pestering all you good folk.

thanks,

Kevin
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
Nope

Last update (official) for trin is still WM5

sorry

mostly, a TYtn ROm would not suit the P3600 at all

You can extract some Orange things from the ROm and try to port them to Trinity, though, I would say faisable

brds

nAr

EDIT : no one's interested in branded ROMs ... only to sell second hand maybe ... your best choice is to Hard SPL then flash an 6.5 ROM :)
[P3600 ROM Development] carkev:
thanks Narshorn,

the very fact that you think it may be feasable gives me some hope.

I take on board what you say re branded roms etc,

but find that I much prefer using my phone with the jogwheel, and the Orange stuff suits me very well.

I have done some re-flashing thanks to the good advice on here,

but suspect that extracting from that 6.1 rom may be beyond my capabilities.

there are many very talented folks on here, and my best hope would be that someone see this post and would offer to do it for me -

for a suitable Donation of course.
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
I know someone who has white trin orange branded ... il'' ask him to dump his phone one day :)

brds,

nAr
[P3600 ROM Development] carkev:
that's good of you to suggest ...

but would the the Orange stuff be WM5 as I have on mine ?
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
From what I saw, there's a vertical widget bar on left side of the screen

The interface is "buble rose"

It's orange branded
[P3600 ROM Development] carkev:
please don't think me ugrateful, but I would not want your friend to go to the trouble if uneccessary.

as I understand it, Orange never made WM 6 for Trinity, so I expect your friend has the same version as I do.

the Orange WM6.1 they did for the Kaiser roms looks similar but is actually superior, which is why I worded my first posting as I did
[P3600 ROM Development] philocritus:
i found this...

http://www.torrentreactor.net/torre...TC-3600-amp;-ORANGE-SPV-M700-AX3L-OS-v2-0-8-1

on orange the trinity is called spv m700. I used to have one :) seems there's about 3 user made orange branded wm6.0 roms arround. give it a try
[P3600 ROM Development] carkev:
philocritus ... WOW ... top man ! ... I have just downloaded it and may try a flash later.

having read the 'read me' (which hopefully I have attached)

I am not absolutely sure that it contains the Orange branding/sidebar I seek, but the last 4 lines might indicate that it does ? - would you agree ? ...

I would welcome your opinion before I go ahead.

>>>> This ROM include:

HardSPL + OS + OEM SplashScreen + Radio + ExtROM

anyway, The ExtROM is empty and the "customization process" only

enable HSDPA and install PhoneHelper...

BTW:

your searching is superior to mine as I have tried all kind of search stings in Google & various forums for over a month now

and not even come close to with what you found !

I will now hammer all the torrent sites to see if I can anything else.

thanks a lot.

[P3600 ROM Development] carkev:
update

I bit the bullet and tried that Rom ... it all went on fine, but sadly was an HTC branded WM6,

rather nice though it was, I have re-flashed to my WM 5 with Orange,

and taken the opportunity to also flash the 1.56.70.11 Radio.

so I continue to hope my original 'Plan A' will yield some results,

or hope that 'Plan B' ... finding that the roms you mentioned are out there.

this is all very good fun though, and thanks to this super forum, tweaking my Smartphone has become a new hobby in my retirement.

thanks,

Kevin
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pagubg:
Why nobody port JACHero or some else good rom for 32A Magic? Is this so hard task? There are just only 2 roms with hero builds which are not frequently updated. They also are not optimized to work well.

So, is it possible to port JacHero (or some else supported) for 32A boards?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ricardomega:
There's already this port done.. Use the search tool please.

Thanks in advance.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bothkill:
The HTC's "Missed Call" concept is amazing and very _annoying_ to me.

Tell me if I'm the only one or there are others who feel like me.

Here's the problem:

Generally speaking, when someone calls you, you have three options (irrespective of the phone you use):

1. :) Accept (answer the call)

2. :( Reject (cancel immediately the incoming call)

3. :rolleyes: Ignore (let the phone ring until the caller or the carrier quits the incoming call)

Now, when I get called on my TD2, I have 2 options: "Answer" and "Ignore".

In fact HTC's "Ignore" is functioning as what normally is called "Reject".

But, Ignoring and Rejecting are two different things.

If I Reject, it means I don't want to take the call and the caller understands that right away.

If I Ignore, for the caller it means either I don't want to take the call or I cannot answer for various reasons.

But HTC has messed up these concepts.

The problem is that if I intentionally reject a call (Ignore according to HTC) that call is still reported as a Missed Call (plus the green flash).

Now, I've never seen on a mobile phone a rejected call to be registered as a missed call.

I don't pretend I've used all mobile phones in the world, but I have never encountered this concept.

... and it's annoying.:mad:

I want to be informed about the calls I "MISSED":confused: not the calls I've deliberately rejected:p.

Am I the only one annoyed by this?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] PseudoReal:
are you reffering to the slide options (left / right) or to the button below the slider?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Man.:
Yes. When you get a call you either slide to "Answer" or "Ignore".

However, "Ignore" is really rejecting a call.

.................

@Bothkill

I am bothered by this too. I always thought when I was ignoring a call the ringtone was going to silent but the caller was still ringing a bit like on Nokia's.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] muntos:
Exactly, this "concept" of ignore/reject it's also annoys me! Not mention the missed call when you reject the call ! This is weird also for me !
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] hg23:
Correct me if I'm wrong since I do not have the phone, but can't you silence a ring by turning the phone over (face down) in essence, ignoring the call?

from here: http://www.laptopmag.com/review/cell-phones/htc-touch-diamond.aspx

I realize this is a link to the original touch diamond but I thought the feature was still in tact on on both the Pro2 and Diamond2
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Tim4:
Yes, you can, it works.

It works too
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] marjanot:
Also here, very annoying.

Not speaking for muting the sound, but rejecting call and it's going as missed call.

It's stupid.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] prabhat:
When you get call in TD2 you will have slide for "Answer" and "Ignore" and another button for "Mute Ring".

Any mobile will have 3 types of call in the register: Incomming, Outgoing and Missed.

Incomming Calls: 2 Types:

a) Received

b) Missed

So you can "answer" the call using "Answer" slide: This will register in "Incomming" calls.

"Reject" the call using "Ignore" slide: This will register in "Missed" call.

Why??? You might have rejected the call for many reasons or you may want to know the calls that you have rejected, so Missed calles. This is EQUAL to the actual MISSED Calls, where you did not see your phone when the call came in.

And "Mute the Ringtone" using "Mute Ring" button. This will register the call based on your response with slide button as above. May be Received or Missed

And Finally you have "Outgoing Calls".

So can you specify if the calls that you reject does not get register under "Missed" where it should go?

For me the Call register of HTC TD2 using WM is perfect :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bothkill:
Did your previous phone(s) worked like that (i.e. registering Rejected calls as missed)?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] prabhat:
Where it should go? or where does it goes in your previous phone(s)?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] omar302:
As far as I know, all the WM phones (standard & professional) act this way. Rejecting a call (or ignore in HTC) as well as pressing the hang up hardware button will rejister the call as a missed call (with the corresponding led notification).

As for regular phones, my older SonyEricsson phones used to behave in the same way. But Nokia phones actually treat rejected calls as recieved calls & not as missed calls.

Each type of behavior has its own benifits & disadvantages. But it would be nice if we could choose which behavior the phone does since WM phones are highly customizable.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] prabhat:
This will be really great :) some senior registry guy should reply this with the related change ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] eulem_sa:
Missed calls are calls missed!

Prabat is correct, it does make sense....

if you rejected a call or ignores it, it means you missed that call coz you did not answere it, make sense right?

whatever your reasons are for not taking the call or by rejecting it, STILL you didnt took the call so simply means you missed it.

unanswered calls either by ignoring or rejecting SHOULD be listed under MISSED calls and thats common sense....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bothkill:
Suppose I have to take the train to get somewhere.

If I tell you I have missed the train what do you make of it?

That I failed to reach it in time or can it also mean that I was there just one meter from the train but I refused to get on it?

MISSED means I was not there, couldn't make it on time etc.

Common sense tells me that a missed call is a call I missed to acknowledge (i.e. missed to take any decision about it: answer or reject).

P.S.

Thinking more about it, I understand that you mistake "call" for "conversation" and HTC does the same.

What you describe is a missed conversation.

But call and conversation are two different things.

When somebody calls you (and I'm not referring only to telephony) if you answer the call, the conversation starts.

But when I don't hear when somebody calls me, then I missed that call, (i.e. I have a missed call).

As a phone user I am interested of being notified about the calls made to me and which I was not aware about.

To better describe the difference between call and conversation:

Somebody calls me.

I answer (I accepted the call).

I immediately cut off the phone connection (no conversation occurs) --> I have a missed conversation since I didn't talk with the other person.

The end result: no missed calls, one missed conversation.

The HTC Diamond 2 doesn't notify me of any missed "things" because I didn't miss any calls (and I agree with it). But I have missed a conversation and my phone doesn't know that.

The phone's job is to notify me about missed calls, and not about missed conversations.

Imagine the following dialogue:

Wife: Hey dear, why didn't you answer my first call?

Husband (drunk): Oh.. no.. dear... I missed it..!

Wife: You liar!

Husband (drunk): Oh.. no.. I can prove it. Look my led is flashing, it means it could be your missed call, let me check..

Wife: Oh no you bastard, you rejected it on purpose, but you're using that weird HTC "Missed Call" concept in order to look innocent. You've drinking with the boys again, haven't you ?!!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] PseudoReal:
at least thumbs up for the very fanciful story :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] sachindx:
Even I feel that the "Rejected" calls should go into "received calls" list.

I thought that my phone had a software problem. Now I know.

But, even if the call goes in the "missed calls" list, maybe it can give a notification that the call was deliberately "Rejected"...

Any help would be greatly appreciated since this problem is bugging me.

Thanks.

Hi,

Just wondering if there is a ebook reader on the Android Marketplace? Currently I use Mobipocket and Ereader.com but there software doesn't seem to support Android, is there another program I can use to read books from these sites??
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] dr0id:
Aldiko has a great UI, handles formatting really good and the company just released a free version. FBReader is also good.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] AFK_Matrix:
Thanks for that droid will have a look at them when my phone turns up tomorrow. I know tha mobipocket has protection on their books so I expect to not be able to read them but is there a way to conver these books so that Aldiko or FBReader can display them?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Dayzee:
Aldiko uses .epub as its format, and you can convert to this using a prog called Calibre.

There's also Repligo Reader which I think uses .pdf

If you can convert to .pdf, there are a few readers and most have a view allowing WordWrapping or automatic alteration of lines length to fit the screen. Think I like Aldiko best as it has left to right swiping for reading instead of scrolling upwards, and also has a black on white and white on black mode changer. Well worth the money and the converter, plus lots of free .epub books available.

Dayzee xxx
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Devany:
+1 for Aldiko - lets you choose fonts, colours - and has a lookup facility (though not a dictionary -0.001).

Checkout Calibre for conversion to epub, as Dayzee says.

Also checkout "ProcessTextGroup" for "Amber LIT Converter" - will convert MS .Lit files to .html (but use care, as i recall - a confusing download).

i.e. Amber will convert .lit to .html

then Calibre will convert .html to .epub

- Amber will not read DRM protected files.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] jarekt:
Best of all is WordPlayer v3. Its free and it can use TTS (text to speech) engine. I can put on my earphones and listen to my ebooks even during a car drive. I use TTS on my laptop since ages and thats much superior way of enjoing ebooks than using your eyes. But most amazing is that there is free polish (and other exotic languages) tts engine for android! WP3 uses epub format so use callibre with it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] AFK_Matrix:
Thanks guys will check all those out when my Hero arrives :) I also sent an email to Ereader.com and got a reply saying they are working on an Android version of there software so can't wait for that, unfortunetly they didn't give any release times/dates :(

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] JayRayMee.NL:
Hi there,

I have a Samsung Omnia II which I use without the TouchWIZ interface, just because I personally miss a few things in there.

So I'm running the standard Windows Mobile interface with TouchWIZ disabled.

Two questions though:

1. I use the Windows Mobile "Messaging" program, that works, but when I open an email or when I want to write one, it opens with the crappy Samsung Messaging program.

How do I override this in e.g. the registry? -> I want all email (reading and writing) to be handled with the default Windows Mobile messaging program.

2. Something else: connected to a Bluetooth carkit, the Omnia II Bluetooth phone calls sounds almost mono compared to HTC devices.

Is there a way to alter this quality?

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] XeOS:
1. No answer there, sorry

2. This has to do with your carkit, output and input is different for devices, you should be able to alter it on your carkit. Sound is amplified too much now, hence the 'mono' sound. I have the Omnia II on my carkit and sound is absolutely awesome (just not with the Touch player, too soft) with the Mediaplayer. on my carkit (Funkwerk EGO Flash) I can set volume per device.

Hope this helps...

Hi,

Hero is my first android's phone ever. I'm kindda new to android.

I'm now having Modaco 1.5 rom running in my hero, and the recovery image is cyan 1.4.

I heard so many good things about cyan rom especially performance, but I haven't been able to make it work.

I search and read a lot from this forum and androidcommunity forum but I can't solve it.

My problem is that after I flashed the cyan 4.0.4 rom (the update.zip file with ~ 48MB) from modaco and restarted the phone, the Hero splash screen appeared forever and nothing happened.

What I did was that:

- Download the cyan 4.0.4 rom

- Copy it to sd card with the name update.zip

- My sd card partitions: fat32/ext2/swap

- Boot the phone to recovery mode

- Start to flash

I also tried to:

- swipe the old rom and re-flash

- format and re-partition sd-card

but still the same problem :confused: :confused:

Anyone who experienced similar problem, please help!!!

Known problem.

The best workaround I found till now:

1. Switch on Flightmode. (use the red phone button press for more than 3 seconds)

2 Reset/Restart

3. Switch off flightmode. The PIN screen comes up automatically.

Works in 100% of the cases.
