i don't think you can but you can flash the 1.4 recovery immage with fastboot and format your sdcard with it, or you fastboot to just boot into the recovery image with

fastboot boot recovery.img (or whatever the name of your recovery image is)

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanbodla:
Hi,

I have tow questions:

1) How do I tell the Music app to scan only specified forlders on my SD card to look for music files?? I have star-translate and text-to-speech service installed and the Music app also brings up those translated sounds, which is very annoying.

2) ASTRO can no longer create folders on my SD card. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but this did not fix the problem. I just cannot press the "create" button. However, Linda file manager creates folders fine. Any way to sort this out? Anyone else got this problem?

Thanks for your help and comments :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedJimmy:
You can add in a .nomedia file to folders you don't want included in the Music app. More details can be found here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanbodla:
I read that thread... thanks for sharing. But this does not seem to be the best solution, rather it is a very complicated one which I never expected from Android. I mean the best way should be to tell the Music player which folders to include and which not to include.

Is it REALLY not possible?? If so, then c'mon all the Dev community!! It is a very fundamental issue which needs your attention ASAP. I should be saying this to the Google people but I don't think they are gonna be as helpful as you guys :)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ranney:
Dear all,

I've decided to recover a backup file from SBP backup. Neraly everything is restored perfect, just the backlight is a problem...

After 7 seconds of use, the backlight will go off.

I can chane these settings in the setting ==> backlight tab, but everytime after a soft reset or after placing the device in standby and continue using it, it is back on 7 sec...

My second stap was to search in the register.

I've found HKEY Current User ==> Control pannel ==> backlight

I can see here that the value of the 'BatteryTimeout = 7'

So here is the problem, I can set it to 60 and now it is working, but...

after entering standby or softresetting the device ==> The register is set back to 7 sec...

Can someone help me to let it 60? Make it read-only or something like it?

Thanks in advance!

Ranney

It's imbeliveble! I've searched on google yesterday for four hours, this morning for 2 hours, and now decided to make a post here. As happy as I am now, I've found the solution here!

For anyone else who finds this: DO NOT use the HTC tilt cab fix... your backlight will never come back on after a lock...

Hey there,

i was just wondering if anyone knows of an album art downloader/updater as a seperate program. ive seen it built into the new manilla bulids but i dont want to use them anymore(for a little while) .. tooo buggy :) i have googled with different word combinations and no results for this kind of app :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] matmaneyre:
Windows Media Player on your desktop/laptop will do it, but you have to sync using WMP as well for them to transfer across properly as far as I remember. Haven't bothered with album art for a while myself.

Just update the WMP library, select the files you want album art for and right click. Then select to update the track info (or words to that effect). It will go online and update your track tags so they display properly as well, but they have to be reasonably well named in the first place for the best accuracy. The best format is "{Track Number} - {Artist} - {Title}".

Eg. "01 - Eminem - Dr.West"

hi guys, this is my virgin post. I have a diamond 2 and was using it for about 2months now. recently, i realised that my battery indicator dissappeared from the top task bar. It only shows the signal, sound, and time... no more battery indicator. I have been searching for an answer but no success. have tried installing the customised battery icons contributed by you guys but no success as the battery icon still does not show.

any suggestions or help on this? much appreciated.

p.s - i was using a magincian, O2 mini and recently upgraded the ROM to the one by cortulla. it's like getting a brand new phone, though the memory on the mini sucks big time. just want to express my thanks for all the contributors. i hope i can contribute something too in future. :)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Overloaded:
The battery/time indicator is some setting in windows mobile. I don't know how to change it in windows but you can easily do it with WVGA tweak / HD tweak.

And about the program manager, it's also some setting i don't know accactly were you can find it..

Try searching in the setting tab.. then system.. somewere there should be an option about taskmanager, and then something about show on home screen / show in tray ;)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Peter V8:
Hello

First i would like to mention that i went thru wiki and the forum and i could not find a thread with similar problems.

The problem is in the built in camera (or in the user):D

As soon as i turn on the camera to take a picture it doesnt work. On the display the icons are showing like the camera is ready but it is just dark display.

So i pressed the button to capture an image just to see how will the camera react. As i pressed the middle cursor button after some 20-30 second on the display appeared following lines:

Unable to save captured image

unable to get data from camera device.

36003:500:2

I must say that i have problems with the camera module from the very beginning. I was hoping that the latest flash with Tomals SW will improove the camera drivers but this was not the case. Maybe i have to install some additional drivers? I just cant get the bloody camera to work.:mad:

Anyone has some idea why my camera does not work?

Besize that my qtek is working just fine.

Thanks 4 the answers.

Best regards from Slowenia.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] orb3000:
Welcome to forums

I had a similar prob and solved changing the ROM

Good luck,
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Peter V8:
Hello orb3000

Thanks 4 the welcome:D

i upgraded my rom just 2 days ago with: TML871_WM61_21028_REGULAR_128MB.exe

but it does not change the status of the camera.

so i feel a little helpless :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] enigma1nz:
Try another ROM, just in case. Generally a factory ROM would give a good indication of whether there is a problem and eliminate other possibilities. So I would recommend flashing it just for your peace of mind.

As far as Tomal's ROM is concerned, provided your device is 128Mb and ROM functions as it should otherwise, one of the reasons for non-working camera is the module itself or the mainboard. Hopefully its the camera module, as they are relatively cheap and very easy to replace and no special knowledge is required, as well as minimal device intrusion, so you will be able to replace it yourself. I think i saw the camera module at some of my suppliers, let me check if still available, alternatively, a working second hand part can also be used, I might have one in my toy box somewhere.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Peter V8:
Thank you so much. I will yet again update the rom and than i will report how it went. So if it doesnt work, i would be happy to purchase a camera module from you. Replacing it will not be a problem as i have no problem with the mechanics and electronics in general :-D:-D:-D

I also stumbled upon a DIY side in this forum, regarding the universal.

So which rom would you recommend me?

Thanks

:-D:-D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] enigma1nz:
Factory ROM is the ROM your device came with originally, out of the box.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rajivshahi:
WM 5... as Uni came in with WM 5.... so in my case JASJAR.. and T-Mobile rom... is factory default for my 2 uni....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Peter V8:
That could be a problem.

i have been given the qtek 9000 by my boss as he bought himself a tuch diamond pro and he gave me the qtek becouse he knew that i was so enthused about it. :-D:-D

Sadly the PDa came without any CD so factory rom is out of question. He somehow lost the CD so all i had was the phone, the usb cable and the charging unit.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] -Jonny-:
try the wiki first!

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

Otherwise, someone may have it. (I've got SPV M5000 if you're interested)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Peter V8:
The wiki has only the country or operator specific downloads. Since i`m from Slovenia there is no operator or SW for our operator on the list.

So i probably need an english version since the qtek in our country c<me only in english version.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] enigma1nz:
Just get WWE for QTEK, or try other WWE ROMs. BUT make sure you have the Slovenian settings on a .CAB or check if they can be sent by your provider.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] -Jonny-:
Peter V8, don't forget to update the wiki if you find what you were looking for... and it wasn't in the wiki. 30 people will (not) thank you, but appreciate it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Peter V8:
As soon as i find the problem i will update it to wiki no problem. If the camera is broken and it need to be replaced i will document the procedure with photos that i will take during the "operation".

Sadly my battery bloated a little bit (no chemical spill so far ) and i took it out of my qtek to protect it from damage. So now i am stuck with nokia N90 until the new Battery arrives that i ordered. So when i will have the new accu i will find the error that the camera is having and report it to wiki and forum.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] enigma1nz:
A battery 'bloated a little bit' means it got wet, which might mean liquid damage to your device and the reason your camera might not work. Even if you replace the battery at this stage, if the main PCB got wet, it will corrode and your device will die, slowly, but surely.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Peter V8:
I am fully aware of this problem, but the new battery bloated (i replaced it 3 months ago) and the camera doesnt work since i have the qtek (1,5 year). The little white paper stripe under the sim card holder didnt turn pink and also the battery isnt wett also the phone is not wett. Well we will see when i get the new battery. It is under warranty so if the battery damaged my beloved phone, the company that sold me the new battery 3 months ago will not get so easy of it. Here in Slovenia a well preserved qtek 9000 still costs arround 250-300 Euros.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Peter V8:
A little update:

I bought myself a newer working qtek 9000 with partialy broken LCD for 30 Euros. So i placed the battery into my qtek and it works perfectly. Apart from that i am still waiting for my brand new battery to arrive from germany. So i fully charged the spare battery, did a DOC reset and flashed the qtek with Tomals ROM.

The camera however still doesnt work, so it is not a SW problem. Since i have bought the broken qtek 9000 for spare parts, i will take the camera out and replace it. So probably this weekend i will do the "service" and i will take pictures of the procedure and update the forum.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ioannisman:
Peter V8 I also face a similar problem since my 2 days Ebay bought 02 Xda Exec's camera is full of white, red, green dots either in photo or video mode. Changing roms didn't help at all and its truly a pity since the phone seems like it came straight from the factory, although used. My dilemma is either paying about 20 Euros to ship it back or waiting for your endeavor to complete but since I overall truly like the phone I will wait and see:)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] enigma1nz:
There is really no procedure worthy of taking pictures, once you remove the back, remove the large white antenna part and you will see where camera clips in. It's a fairly straightforward flex clip connection.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Peter V8:
Little update again.

As i mentioned earlyer, i have bought myself another spare parts uni with broken tft. Ok so first.....i took apart both unis (didnt took no pictures becouse the pdf DIY to disassemble and assemble the UNi is more than helpfull, so you have to be a complete non technical type of human, or you have cerebrall palsy, or you must be a dee tii deee to not understand or grasp how it is made) and puted the tft from my uni in to the spare part uni. It worked perfectly and it had WM 5,0 the original. So the camera worked , everything worked-sim card....everything. So yesterday i flashed the uni with Tomals last ROM (Tommal the rom is working perfectly on my other uni so the SW is just fine) And somehow the uni had problems to work when my SIM card was inserted. So i removed the sim card and the uni worked perfectly. I dont know wath the problem is (probably a sim lock or somethin, but odd enough it worked with WM 5,0) so as the forum was down yesterday, i just dissasembled both unis again, putted the tft back in to my uni and putted the camera which worked just fine in the spare parts uni, in to my uni. And guess what.............the camera is still not working. I have done the hardreset but still.........even as i replaced the camera i still have the mesage......unable to get data from camera bla bla bla.....error 36003:500:2

So there might be a problem with some drivers or something in that way. I am pretty on the end with my knowledge now. How can i find the erorr or the couse of it???

If someone knows i would be very happy uni user :-D

So the problem is still not solved. Otherwise the uni is working perfectly only the camera gives me hard time.

Best regards

Windows Mobile is open to 3rd party applications and is a closed source, commercial, not-free, product. Google Android is supposed to be open source and free, but it looks like Windows Mobile in fact is more open than Google Android because Google proactively blocks people who cook their own Android ROM updates:

This is pretty big. Just to put this into perspective, xda-developers.com have, if we're brutally honest, been pretty much ignored by Microsoft for many years. Windows Mobile ROM's are all over the place with 6.5 builds appearing weekly for every WinMo phone on the planet. What's happened to those people working on tweaking every bit of the OS and TouchFLO, then redistributing the (paid-for) OS, complete with Office Apps and all manner of Microsoft copyrighted material ? Nothing really. Now, with the tweaked builds appearing for Android and the whole "modding" scene just starting, Google have effectively put the brakes on.

But I don't want to send the sms through the sim card in the MDA Vario V, but via another mobile device which is bluetooth enabled.

Does this work?
