Seems like only Blackberry closes apps when your done, WM and Android you always have to go and close them or you get lag and its a pain. On both Windows and linux if you "X" out the program you dont still have to bring up the task manager and close them again.

I dont know about symbian though, never used Nokia.

I was just wondering whats the purpose of it. Why does the OS do that? Whats the point?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zuggy:
The reasoning is so that you can run apps in the background.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pistol4413:
if u want ur apps to close pay a buck for advanced task manager. u will thank me l8r
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary13579:
Uh, no. Both Windows and Linux, if you close a window, it's up to the application to decide what to do. That's not a windows/linux problem; it's the people who made that application.

If you mean WM/Android, then yeah, you're correct. I'm not entirely sure on WM's reasoning, but this is the way Android is designed. It handles what applications will run in the background. When an app is in the background, it's there so if you want to open it up again quickly it'll load instantly.

90% of applications don't have problems running in the background. They don't slow the phone down, and they don't take up insane amounts of memory. Android was designed to phase applications out of mem that aren't used, as you open up new applications.

Hi, i just bought new diamond2 3 months ago however a week ago there's no sound coming from the earpiece.. i've to turn on the speakerphone to listen to the caller.

any help is greatly appreciated.

have been using the phone as a modem quite extensively though.

I have mentioned in my post that more and more users may comeacross this issue. Someone may believe this issue relates to some certain manufacture lot, HTC should hold responsible to announce which lot should be return just like some Japanese car returning for changing those problematic part(s).

Hi,

I seem to have some issues delievering SMS under the new radio (I assume it to be the cause).

I'm currently using both SPL and Radio from Haykuro (that I flashed in order to try on Hero roms), but, having the above in account, I'd like to return to stock radio (version 1.smth).

So, taking teh brick factor into account I was considering doing the following:

1) Flash DangerSPL

2) Flash Stock Radio

Is the procedure safe/correct/in correct order?

Where can I get the stock radio?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phatmanxxl:
DO NOT flash the danger spl and downgrade radio, youll brick for sure. Id just try a reflash of the radio, rom or both first.

I bought this G1 with a cracked screen and I decided to replace the screen, however when I removed a certain part in the phone I managed to rip a ribbon cable. I searched for a replacement part and found out that it will cost about $185 to replace it. Now I am about to buy this other G1 for $50 that had water damage that I will be using for parts. But before I buy it, is there a way I can see whats wrong with it using adb? I'm interested in whether the part that I need is in working condition.

the phones condition is:

-the screen does not show anything but a backlight

-leds work

-rebooting using three buttons work

-lcd is probably screwed up because when i hit the power button i see part of the home background and then it fades away.

-no g1 screen logo while rebooting

-normally vibrates once while rebooting

-android os boots up

-"adb kill-server adb devices" doesn't list me any devices when i hook it up to usb. maybe debugging is turned off.

here is a link to the part i am about to remove

http://www.cellphone-repair-shop.co...icrophone-and-sd-card-slot_50H10000-02M-A.htm

the pcb board has the trackball, usb port, simcard slot, sdcard slot, and various other peripherals.

i have two, one of them needs this part and the other one has the part i need. and plus im fixing it for my brother.

G1 #1

-already Bought for $74

-needs pcb board

G1 #2

-$50 as is

-has pcb board

-has water damage

anyhow I managed to get into recovery and did a wipe logged in but once the screen turns off i cant turn it on anymore. would you say it is safe to exchange these parts?

Wrong Forum, goodness
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensimila:
how is it wrong..I'm not asking anybody to take it apart and do it for me. if it was in the wrong place would it be because I'm not developing something for someone to use. is there a section for modding, taking apart the g1 and internals. if i could develop something i would. i guess there's no help in posting useless remarks because that doesn't contribute to nothing. If this so happens to be in the wrong forum well then this is my first mod now isn't it? and since you went of of your way to tell me its the wrong place why don't you be helpful to lead your fellow xda forum member. ok.

$50 for a water damaged G1? WTF? Are you serious?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prince.siraj:
do you mean by that as expensive or cheap???
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary13579:
I'd say expensive, as you have no idea the extent of the water damage. If the phone was on while dropped into the water, the mainboard is likely dead. Buying it would be a waste.

Also, this forum is for software development. Moving this thread. Thanks!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensimila:
hey thanks for moving my thread. as i reread my post it seems more of a question than a developmental thread.

further testing

i booted up

ran through all of the radios wifi, 2g, 3g, orientation sensor, made a call and they all seem to work fine. the one problem with this phone is that if i turn off the screen it won't turn back on.i think that maybe the pcb board might be salvageable. would that be worth doing?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary13579:
What cable was it that you ripped? What was it connecting? And is it possible for you to take pictures?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensimila:
my digi cam isnt working but this will do. its like a 1/8" rip on the side of the ribbon i was thinking about repairing but i cant because the ribbon is soldered to the board. i figure that i should try swapping it out, what could possibly go wrong? im assuming that the lcd has lost the ability to regain power after turning off from the water. and maybe...possibly the main pcb has dried up and not been damaged considering most things work fine. thanks for sticking around.:D

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ThroughHymn:
On my tilt i have a slight problem. When i place or recieve a phone call, i cant hear them regularly. I must put my phone on speakerphone to hear them. I dont have a back for my phone, but i dont think thats the problem. Any suggestions?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] zakiwashi:
try this; once in a call turn the dial on the left hand side of the handset all the way up to make sure the volume of the speaker is at full. similarly if you touch the speaker icon on the top toolbar, two volume sliders appear. make sure these are both at 100%
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] heydatsmyrice:
I am having these same issues too. I have tried what u suggested and still not working. The phone was working fine but no longer. did a hard reset and still not working. If it means anything, I recently replaced the housing to the phone, but even then after replacing the housing, the internal speaker still worked and I could hear through it but now I have to take calls through the speakerphone. Anyone have any suggestions?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ClintonH:
The Rogers Magic will work fine on AT&T. ;)

Clinton
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hgarcia85:
Yep, working wonderfully for me. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] thinkdifferent:
It depends on what you mean by 'work'.

If you want 3g.. then you need a Rogers HTC Magic 32A from Canada. This will most likely be at a premium since there are not too many floating around and the phone is a 32A. I'm also on ATT and ebay'd one for 450.

If you are okay with 2g EDGE, then you can just unlock a T Mobile myTouch 3G 32B. It will not be able to use the ATT 3g. The two networks operate at different bands of the spectrum and are not compatible.

The latter option will be cheaper (350-ish) as there are plenty of myTouch 3gs floating around. I'm even selling one because my brother didn't like it.

As a frame of reference, I raced the two phones on the ATT network, loading NYTimes.com and the 3g came in at 16 seconds, while the 2g came in at 26 seconds. It's not an earth-shattering difference, but it depends on how reliant you are on bandwidth.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] thinkdifferent:
Oh, you need to be a bit careful about unlocking Rogers HTC magics. There are a few batches, where Rogers changed the codes, after receiving them from HTC.

Unlocking services won't work and Rogers does not give out unlock codes... period. It does not matter if you purchased the phone at full price (610CND). They claim it is to keep them from being liable for the user experience outside the Rogers 'network'. This is a load of bull****, but they won't budge. I managed to somehow get one of these little suckers and really took a hit for it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] zdub27:
okay cool i found a mytouch for 150 im cool with the 2g so how do i unlock it once i get it
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] carlsbl:
eBay again

Buy and unlock code on eBay. There are a few vendors that run skype and you can have in in 10 minutes. Search eBay for "swiftunlocks" or email hime at swiftunlocks@gmail.com. I have bought 2 from him and they work perfect.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] navimban:
Unlocked and internet plan requirement

does AT&T require an unlimited internet plan on this phone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] thinkdifferent:
Officially... yes.

However, ATT can only differentiate smart phones (30$ unlimited data plan) from the dumb phones (15$ unlimited data plan / 10$ family unlimited data plan) if the IMEI is in their data base.

In the case of a phone from T-mobile or any other carrier, the IMEI is not available to ATT, so the phone will show up as 'Unknown Device'.

Thus, if you ask for a data plan, you can get the dumb phone one.

As long as the APN settings are correct, you will get 3g for half the price.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] Tyro.Eh:

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mrcrassic:
Hey, everyone!

So I've been using the Fuze for a while, and while I'm

very

impressed with how well it plays music (the last exposure I had to listening to music on a phone was not a good one...), I'm a bit bitter about the shortcomings I've run across on the simpler things. I wonder if anyone here could answer these questions:

* Does anyone know an app or background service that lets me adjust volume with the screen OFF? It's a bit inconvenient to have to unlock the phone every time I want to adjust the volume.

* Does anyone know of a lean and mean music player that supports gapless playback AND has at least a basic library that isn't slow? I tried Pocket Player (horrible library performance), Kinoma (no gapless and horribly laggy), S2P (great library, but graphics were distracting and no gapless), HTC's built-in player (pretty good, but no gapless) and Windows Media (need I say more?) and all of the other apps I've heard about don't catalog music.

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] XERO_Racer:
for ur first question i HIGHLY doubt theres an app unless u have S2U2 as an unlock app, then u can change the settings where u can change the volume without unlocking

for ur second question, try nitrogen player, never tried it but i heard alot of good reviews for it http://www.dewantoro.net/search/nitro+player+WM

the only i use on my TP for music was the TF3D player and i havent experienced any problems with it, but give nitrogen player a try...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
Libraries are going to be slow if you have a large collection. Try TCPMP or mortplayer-they use a file explorer instead of a library. The downside is that you can't play genres or all your music. You need to make playlists.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dgaud007:
PocketPlayer has gapless playback and many other features. The only problem is that it is not integrated into manila.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] whitechocolate954:
how to tell if your phone is 32B or 32A?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ronni.rasmussen:
Power down the mobile then hold "back and power on" or "volume down and power on" and you should be able to see it!

This post may be of some use. It's made for Manila version 2.1.19193517.0 though. The screenshots show all the tabs that it covers. I'm not sure what tabs are in Manila version 2.5 that I'm missing...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] naa77:
Is it just me or the ROM I'm using, (Latest 6.5, 2.5 manila energy ROM)...., But is Microsofts Internet Explorer still rather slow when it comes to rendering pages ?, which bring me to my next question.... Can I change the internet tab so that it opens one of my opera bookmarks rather then IE ?, and will the screenshot function work with opera, or is this IE only, I thought that this would of been a function in manilla and had nothing to do with IE ?. Thanks in advance !!. Nick.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] wingtytn:
wrong place to ask this question and they might close this page but to answer ur question from my prospective it does run alil slow i figured it was just not on 3g... but wen u first install energy opera is set to be the web browser
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jolas:
Copy OperaL.exe from your \windows directory to your card and rename it to iexplore.exe. Then using TotalCommander or Resco Explorer copy it back to the \windows dir and replace the original iexplore.exe.

Now, in the 'Internet' tab it will open Opera.

For the favorites links in the 'Internet' tab, you have to insert manually the address of each favorite (copy-paste), and after that selecting them will open with Opera.:)

i am pretty sure I bricked my phone. I just want to make sure before it becomes my good looking paper weight. I installed the wrong spl. So naturally it doesnt start up. Nothing at all. But, my orange led is on when I charge it. Also, it flashes red when the battery is low.

The problem is when i power my phone off even while its being charged, the orange led shuts off. So, is it really dead? Also anyone know if their will be a way in the future to unbrick? Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ronni.rasmussen:
Did you try to hold "back" or "volume down" or "home" button while power it on ?

If you can get it to fastboot screen there should still be hope for the phone!

Edit: Unbricking should be a question about having the right hardware, so yes it should be posible even now!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] luna9698:
Yeah I have done all of the above to no avail. Sucks as I really liked the phone. I thought i was using a engineering spl but i guess it was the wrong one. I wonder how it will be to repair bricked phones. I mean if they cant be turned on and such
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ronni.rasmussen:
Well i'm not to sure about how exactly, but the software were not born within the hardware so you need the hardware to be able to put the SPL or whatever directly into the place it belongs. I talked with a few guys here in Thailand about if they were able to unbrick a Magic and they all say they should be able to but cant promish anything cause they never tryed yet.

But now that you say that it actually recharge the mobile, does it also recharge when you use the USB connect cable from PC ?

If it does did you try to use fastboot through command prompt with adb ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] luna9698:
Yeah it does charge. It has now changed to a green light. The problem is that i dont know how to use the adb command prompts. Nor do I know how to set it up to do so. I dont see it though in Windows. If I click on My Computer it isnt listed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ronni.rasmussen:
You wont see it in windows explorer cause its not mounted but take a look in the wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking#sec03

You will find info about how to install and use adb in command prompt

Hope this will help you and that it can find your mobile!

I figured you also tryed to remove the battery and try to power on while holding home/back/volume down
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] luna9698:
I got the adb working but it cant find it. Thanks for your help. I just have to hope that in the near future they will be able to revive bricked phones.
[HTC Excalibur] EngineerMind:
I don't know if anyone noticed this, but the Dash phone seems to be pretty

popular on the TV series "Leverage" on the TNT network.

The girl of the gang has a Dash and a feature close-up of it is at the 18 minute mark of last weeks episode titled "The Lost Heir Job".

The model she has is not branded (not t-mobile), and has the "HTC" logo on the top left corner on the front and the logo again appears where the silkscreen for "T-Mobile" normally would be in the front center between the display and keyboard.

Just a FYI.
