[Touch Pro, Fuze General] darkcirca:
For the past week or so, I've had the strangest issue. My phone turns itself off. I'll have the phone next to me and use it for a minute, put it down, then go to look at it again and its off. Have to press the reset button to get it back on.

Now, normally I'd assume something is wrong with the phone, but this makes me wonder. It turns off everyday when I am driving to/from work, in the same general area (between 2 roads about 1-2 miles apart). It's not just me experiencing this - my fiance does to. We both have the Fuze as well. When we went out last night, they both turned off on the way out, and again on the way back.

I'm wondering if it is a tower issue, or if it could be an issue with the phone (they are around the same age). I'm running a 6.5 rom on mine, while he is running a 6.1 rom, which he worked on himself.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I'm trying to figure out what causes it, and if it is outside the phone, if there is something to do. We are both on AT&T as well.. It's really driving me nuts.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bruce Inman:
I suspect extraterrestrial interference. :eek:

Seriously though, the fact that it happens to both phones does not make sense.

I have never heard of towers having the ability to do anything other than sending signals.

Unless you have installed a remote controll program such as Sprite Terminator that is not functioning correctly, this is certainly an anomaly.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] darkcirca:
Nope, no remote control programs.

Everyone around the office is joking about extraterrestrial interference. I have never heard of towers causing issues like that.

I must say, it's kinda freaky. I only really started to pay attention as I'm reaching my 1 year with the phone soon, and if there is an issue, I want to get it fixed.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Beeble:
The only thing which comes to mind is worrying close to the little green men screwing you about!

It would appear from your message that the phones only, and always, turn off when in the same location (or moving through that location atleast).

Assuming this is correct, then i would hazard a guess that there is some kind of EM interference in that area which is causing the phone to power off.

As to what that is... unless you are passing close by a military radar i cant think what would be causing such interference (airport surveillance radar shouldnt do it, nor will an aircraft weather radar unless its very old, and you're way too close to it [if so, i hope you dont want kids!], also a microwave transmitter shouldnt do it [again unless you're very close] and they are strictly LOS so should be positioned well above you).

Finally, all i can think of is a below ground electricity cable, but again - if you are getting enough EM radiation from that, your phone turning off is gonna be the least of your troubles.

If you figure it out pls let us know - i'm intrigued!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] darkcirca:
Wanted to post an update on this.

The past few days, nothing has happened. Guessing whatever was causing it is now fixed (or gone). Oddly enough, I walked to the printer and came back to my desk and my phone had decided to restart itself today.

I think my phone is possessed now..

Thanks for the ideas - I'm assuming it was something interfering, but have no idea what. Northern Virginia is a military area, so maybe that is to blame..

Hi there

Iv been asked to produce an automatic rooting app for windows for you guys in the Dream forum. im following the rooting method in the wiki, my advice i would like is, since android has updated the firmware to 1.5 does this mean now the g1 needs to replace the su in /system/xbin with a modified one for superuser access like on the magic or not?

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stim_stim:
Hi all,

I've been using a HTC Titan for the past 1.5 years and I'm going to need to get something new. The Titan is alright, but I've gone through 3 units because of keyboard problems and wifi issues. This whole process has left me somewhat disallusioned with HTC.

The Rhodium looks awesome and I know its relatively new, but will I be dissapointed if I give HTC another shot? Anyone made this jump as well? I'm hoping 2.5 generations will have made a huge difference.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Doughnut:
I have...

And its defo a step up...Major step infact...

My TyTn II was so buggy now thinking about it...the Rhodium is a ot more smooth, however as usual WM has bugs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Palndrm12:
I have also made the jump from Titan to Rhodium. I just couldn't stand the hardware issues anymore.

I must say I miss the large selection of buttons you had with the Titan and though it was a touch screen I think the interface for me was only like half touch. With the Rhodium its full touch for just about everything but TF3D makes up for Windows short falls and I am all but used to the interface after a week. Also if you are big into games on your Titan you may find that several do not work on the Rhodium as the screen res and lack of D button prevent them from playing.

Another issue for me was the soft reset being under the cover because no matter what I was soft resetting at least once a day with Titan. With the Rhodium I am running "Power Options" for resetting and shutdown and I have only fully locked up once where I had to remove the cover and hit the button.

Overall I think it was a good switch. The keyboard and HUGE touch screen along with the snappiness more than make up for lack of buttons. Hope this helps!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stim_stim:
Is the extra weight easy to get used to?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Palndrm12:
I would say yes. I like a heavy phone just because I think it feels like a higher quality device and a lot more solid but thats just me. I like heavy pens too which may be for the same reason.

I think the better build quality over the Titan helps getting used to the weight. I also think it feels a little better in your hand than the Titan at least the Sprint one does as it has like a rubbery feeling battery plate and the rounded edges are wonderful. It appears much thinner to me.

Are you on Sprint or another carrier?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bobturismo:
I had a titan for a while, I would've been happy if I had one that was brand new, had no problems and was faster.

That's EXACTLY what the TP2 is, it's a titan on steroids. It does and has everything that I wanted more out of my titan.

More power, longer battery life, bigger screen, 3.5mm jack (well if your CDMA), better keyboard (titan was pretty damn good, this one is better), tilt function.

I liked playing games on my titan, so it's a bit more difficult on the TP2, but to me the phone makes up for the lack of D-pad, I wouldn't give up this phone for a lesser with a D-pad.

I debated picking up a new/slightly used touch pro 1 to replace my titan, since I figured I could get one cheap since the TP2 was here. Then maybe down the road, replace it with the TP2 once the price drops or they become replacements for broken TP1s.

Now that I have the TP2, I wouldn't return it on the "return policy" to get a cheaper TP1 (which seem to have a few issues themselves). My buddy that owns a TP1 agreed, "If I had that phone (TP2), I wouldn't return it for a TP1"
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stim_stim:
I'm with Telus in Canada so I have the ole cdma version.

The one thing I think will be awesome is that itll be so much easier pressing the "x" on the screen because of the smoothed edges. I always found the screen edge on the titan to be really annoying. Of course, win 6.5 will supposedly fix this by moving the "x"
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Palndrm12:
Its definitely way easier and I don't know that the change in WM6.5 will even matter to me since I no longer have issues pressing the "X".

The Titan was very annoying with the screen being in a giant crater.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proxin:
Just looking around for a solution to that annoying notification sound that blasts whenever I plug in my phone via USB. I think I disabled it once but I recently wiped and can't find any options to disable it now.

I know when I plug my phone into USB, I don't need a notification sound to let all my co-workers know I'm plugging in :p

I guess a temporary fix is to just turn off the volume, but I would very much like to just be able to disable the notification.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Go to settings>sound & display> uncheck sd card notification.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proxin:
Hmmm... it is unchecked already. But the sound still is there when I connect USB.

Might be a bug in CyanogenMod 4.1.9.2? I recently updated to it and I didn't notice it on earlier versions.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
I don't know about that. I've been to lazy to update so I just know that works on his earlier version.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proxin:
Good call. I'll submit a bug report and see if anyone else has the same problem.

If it's just on mine, well FML then.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fingerlickin:
What is the exact notification name? Is is "USB Connected" or "USB debugging connected"
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proxin:
I get both, actually... not sure which one is giving me that sound either.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Well there's another thing to do would be just to disable your notification sound all together, but then you wouldn't hear if you get a message unless you use an alternate messaging app.

Where you been fingerlickin, this day is just draggin.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fingerlickin:
sorry, work is busy today.

you are getting the sound from both of them. one can be disabled by supreme's suggestion the other is disabled by disabling usb debugging mode in the development menu
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
I'm suppose to be busy, I just can't seem to get motivated. O well 30 to 40 minutes left to go. Man Gridlock is really playin capt aint he.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fingerlickin:
he deserves his own flame thread imo.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Yessir, I'll give him one more day. He told me this morning he prolly wouldn't be on again today, but thats no excuse. You hear that out there Grid thats no excuse. If not we will have to dedicate something to him.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proxin:
Yup, that worked, thanks. :o

Wonder if it will prove problematic for adb...?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
What having the usb debugging unchecked?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proxin:
Yeah, that was it. Sorry I forgot to quote the message I was referring to :o
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
I would assume, I would think whenever you use adb just remember to check that.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fingerlickin:
good.

keep in mind that ADB will not work and the su app might timeout with usb debugging turned off.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maine Geek:
Disable usb connect sound - windows

Simple solution is to set the windows device connect to none.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smurf:
Hi there,

i noticed that some apps start itself automatically and run in the background?! That is very annoying. I am observing this behaviour once or twice a day with taskiller advance. Suddenly apps like ak notepad, last.fm and locale are running even though i didnt started them. I guess this is not normal?

mfg smurf
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cstretten:
I have noticed this as well on my Rogers Magic (32A). I think that if a process or other app (like email) needs to, it will activate a related process for it to function (touchscreen, keyboard, etc.)

When using AppKiller after having the phone do nothing for a while or just one app, I'll see a few others listed. Naturally everything ends up loading the "touchscreen" process...

I'm not sure if that means SMS will show up when typing an email because they share the keyboard (as if activating one typing app activates them all)... I've never tested that specifically.

It would be cool if it didn't need to do this, but I've become accustomed to just touching the kill all apps button :)

Cheers,

Chris
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smurf:
that sound reasonable but why is tunewiki starting for no reason or dolphin browser? Could it be bad programming? I noticed this behaviour only with a few apps but its quite anoying. They eat up memory and slow down the phone if i am correct?!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Anartic:
He has a point there, I don't think a third party app would start another third party app, unless they worked in conjunction. As for the problem, try reinstalling the apps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smurf:
i already tried. It doesnt matter if it is a stock, cyanogen or dwang rom. Taskkiller is showing me all this selfstarting apps after reboot and then they randomly start with no reason. Most annoying is dolphin browser. Kill it and its back in a matter of seconds eating up precious ram. Tunewiki, AK Notepad stay at least closed...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] st0kes:
I've also wondered this and I've noticed Dolphin Browser and the TorProxy app always running, and respawn when they are terminated. I am sure it's because the apps are somehow configured to run as services, so started looking at linux services in adb. In adb shell I checked 'service list' but they were not in there, I wonder if there is a generic service that is there to keep apps alive. I'm interested to know the answer if anyone can throw some more light on it!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] porky1981:
I noticed whenever I kill all apps, then for example, switch from 3g to wifi, or 3g to 2g, etc., dolphin browser and imusic will open in the background.... which is annoying.

Why would switching to 3g, 2g, or wifi make these apps open?

curious...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smurf:
i tried this and after switching 3g and wifi off an on an instance of wifi static, sms/mms and handcent spawned. Even though the usual suspects didnt start most of this automagically starting programms are indeed in need of a data connection (tunewiki, dolphin browser, locale...). We could start a list of self starting programms!?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smurf:
okay, i am pretty sure now that apps are starting when wifi is on, an then the phone is switched off, then wifi goes to sleep and when the phone is turned on again wifi also and apps which need wifi are starting.

Is this only bothering me? I mean it does deplete ressources/battery life, right? I am using a tasmanager which says that i have about 45mb of free memory. After resuming from sleep with all those self starting apps it is reduced to 25-30mb.

Can anybody confirm that this shouldnt happen?

btw dolphon browser seems to have been fixed. It doesnt start after waking up the phone.

EDIT: okay, i just found this little app:

http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-elsdoerfer-android-autostarts-jppi.aspx

maybe this is the solution. I am going to try it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] d_bot:
yeah I have the same issue both on cyan and dwang. on first boot ill run task manager and have a huge list of things, sometimes i have to kill a few times. then ill notice the phone is bogged, and check task manager and have tons of things running again.
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] billabongstaff:
Before reading more, check out my new iOmEgA ROMs.

ROM dated 09-13-2009

Features:

Old, better looking (in my opinion) WM 6.5 GUI (more slick, takes up less space on your screen);

29% to 32% RAM consumption;

Touch delay fixed;

GPS lag fixed;

Navigation and Footprints hardware buttons change functions enabled by default;

Native support for .rmvb filetype;

HTC Bluetooth Fix - Check HTC site for further details.

English:

This is the same build as dancer_69's first post, but it is in 0409 World Wide English with all of original Iolite's OEMs (also in 0409 World Wide English), not the HTC Mega ones.

This is basically your Iolite ROM with just an updated OS to WM 6.5.

Download the ROM by clicking here.

Since I cook the ROM myself, I changed the bootscreen to one of my authorship with my nick in it and I do not allow you to use it or edit it without my consent. Those who don't like it, can do one of two things - either use another ROM or figure it out by themselves. Complaints or questions regarding that will not be answered politely. Credits go to ME. If you want your name in it, build your own damn ROM.

Useful software for your Iolite here, just ask or Google it.

TF2D or Manila2D included and working like a charm.

Please vote and let me know what you think. Also you can donate... :D:D:D:D:D

Inherent Windows Mobile bugs:

1- When you start your device, the Messaging application will start in a weird way. You can tell by seeing an "X" where the Task Manager should be and the Softkeys saying "Messaging" and such. It would appear that the device is frozen. No worries, just click "X". All is good.

2 - "Finger-mouse" not availble for build 23016.

Everything else works like a charm.

Hope you enjoy it.

Best regards.

Screenshots available - They are in Portuguese 'cause I got lazy and didn't take screenshots of them in English, 'cause I already made this exact same ROM in Portuguese before, but I assure you this ROM is in English as well as every single application.

Screenshots:

My Custom Theme for TF2D and Custom BootScreen:
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] dancer_69:
By fingermouse you mean the scrolling middle hardware button?

This must works if you include smarttouch package from original Iolite's EXT folder.

I haven't any problem in this, or any other build with scrolling button with the presence of this package.
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] billabongstaff:
Fingermouse

Hey, dancer_69...

No, by fingermouse I mean the ability to drag-and-drop Start Menu Items by long pressing them and moving your finger, as opposed to popping up the dialog "move to top" or "move to bottom"...

But thank you for your input and for having been an inspiration for cooking.

Best regards,
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] Baga12:
Thanks, billabongstaf, I've installed this Rom about 20 minutes ago. My first notice is that in the Manilla Tf2d when you click "all settings" it runs only connection setting and not all the settings... is it supposed to be so?
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] lovinher:
hmm i wont mind if the voter who voted "very bad" to state the reason so? Can no longer check who voted what so cant ask you.. :s

Sharing is great! hahax might try this ROM this weekend or something :D

Thanks billabongstaff. x)
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] billabongstaff:
All settings

I'm betting it is supposed to be like that, since when I got my Iolite it did the exact same thing. The "All Settings" are regarding the Comm Manager, as to my knowledge.

Best regards,
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] billabongstaff:
Thank you

Would like to know who voted very bad too... I don't think it's that bad. Oh, well, everyone is intitled to their opinion... I'm betting others will vote more positive.

You're welcome, lovinher.

Best regards,
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] lovinher:
voted. And I'm running this rom now.. Zomg. it is great in fact.. Hahah.. xDD Stable.. And the bug mentioned has not yet appeared.. o.o..

Nice one dude! :D
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] billabongstaff:
Thanks

Glad you like it.

Thank you for your complement and your vote.

Will keep on developing.

:D

Best regards,
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] ZILLKA:
billabongstaff, thanx for rom.

But why it's stutering? Even when i scroll today screen?
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] billabongstaff:
No stutering

Hey there, ZILLKA, you're welcome.

I only have stutering for about five or six seconds after boot 'cause some programs are still loading. After that no stutering for me. At all.

But if you still have that issue, try getting Chainfire's GFXBoost 1.1 by clicking here, installing it and then soft-resetting your device. Everything should work like a peach now.

Best regards,
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] lovinher:
not being a fag here but after flashing the roms to and fro, i guess with mega packages really screw the phone up well. LoL. Back to iolite packages! :D This is stable for me. :D
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] billabongstaff:
Vote

So sorry to hear you had to revert, but I'm glad you chose my ROM to revert to...

You guys, kindly do not forget to vote, so that other people will now how good (or bad) this ROM is...

Best regards,
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] g77:
Good stuff here

--- sorry wrong thread posting ---
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] billabongstaff:
Cheers

Tuga cheers, my man!!! :D
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] hudytheone:
just to thanks for your excellent work so far my friend i have voted hope you keep it up i was just starting to cook my own roms on my diamond when it was stollen it was replaced with an 02 guide. this iolite forum needs more people like you that try to push the boundry's that make our phones better

Many thanks :D
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] 4EST:
Hello

Looks ok the rom, but the clicking problem is really annoying. And it does not happen only in File Explorer, but in more applications that use file listings, making some of them unusable with the touchscreen, must use the directional keypad :(
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] billabongstaff:
Taken into consideration

I'm guessing you're referring to my other release, the one with HTC Mega packages, not this one, this does not have any touch delay... But even still, I know it can be a pain in the neck and so I'm whipping up a new ROM based on the HTC Mega's Official ROM, that came out September 24th (not the packages, but the ROM itself)...

Let's see how that goes...

:D:D:D:D
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] Sean09:
Looks like I posted in the french instead of english thread before. I am actually using this one and am very pleased with it - thanks!

Also, you helped me with the signature in the other thread. Any idea how I can change the message size? I am having most messages not download due to size, so I have to click, re-send/receive email to view it. How can I change the settings to increase size?

Thanks again, still testing it, but it seems very good so far, minimal stuttering and nowhere near as much lag as the other flash I did.
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] Sean09:
Answering my own question:

To edit message size limits, open an email, hit the OK button in top right, and from your list go to the menu, then TOOLS -> Options, then tap your account. You can now edit the space settings and download options for attachments.

Hi there.

I had problem with sms-messages after modaco-2.2 flashing.

When I got sms-message phone made sound and vibration but nothing to read in message program.

After reading couple hundred pages I found solution:

(Before you do this remember that this distroys your old mms and sms archive )

1. I found and downloaded adb.zip file and extracted it. You can get it from attacement. ( nope ... I can't upload it here )

2. Then I turned phones debugging on ( home-> menu-> settings-> Applications-> Developement -> USB debugging on

3. Wired phone to my mac

4. Opened terminal and then went to that directory where I extracted adb.zip

5. First checked device with command

./adb device

6. When everything was ok then shell command

./adb shell

7. Now prompt was #

8. Changed directory with command

# cd /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases

9. Look that there was mmssms.db

# ls mmssms.db

10. Erased that file

# rm mmssms.db

11. Went out from shell

# exit

12. Went out from terminal

exit

13. Rebooted my phone and then everythin worked perfect.

I think that old mmssms.db file was different format than new one and thats why message-program could't use it.

I hope that this helps somebody.

...Lasse...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] petrowitsch:
worked perfectly for me, thanks a lot of the tip!
