[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jezmaniac:
Hello, over the last few days, my Diamond's being doing something very strange and seriously annoying:

All of a sudden, my handset began to perform sluggishly, and eventually hanging, meaning I had to reset.

After this, the handset had returned to factory settings (apart from the internal storage card) and required setting up as new.

Once I'd set the phone up again, re-installing all my usual programs, the phone worked as normal for around 6 hours, then the same thing happened.

I've installed a new ROM, and had the same trouble. The phone isn't completely unusable when symptoms start (I can still send and receive texts and make calls) but I can't use any installed programs such as Opera etc.

The way the phone acts feels similar to when a PS harddrive begins to develop bad sectors etc.

Anyone had similar problems and been able to fix without having to send the phone away? Somehow I don't think my operator would repair it!

Thanks for any help.

Sorry about the bad title!

when I got the td2 and plugged in the usb cable

it used to offer me the option on a screen to either

connect to active sync

use as a hard drive ( or something like that)

internet sharing.

with a little rember this action type button.

I obviously pressed that button as now it defaults to internet sharing

I would really like to get the options screen back

any one got any ideas

Thanks in advance

Settings > Connections > USB To PC and mark that thing on the bottom.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] stringman:
Thanks for the quick reply,

should have said that I have already done that and it doesnt make any difference still goes straight to internet sharing (which stays open)

only a silly thing but its winding me up!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] romualdrichard:
I had this issue too....

Looks like you disconnect the TD2 while you were sharing the internet....

What i did, connect, tu USB, connect the sharing (the TD2 always shows it...) click the disconnect softkey of the sharing, disconnect the USB and then reconnect it.

And voilà, the screen is back
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] stringman:
BRILLIANT !!!!

THANKS so much

all is well now in my world apart from my tomtom issues

a while back I asked a question about what fix permissions did. it is a great script. Why do you lose apps after running it? i.e. the app icon turns white and app dissapears more so in cyan than hero. thanks in advance.:)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
Thats because of the private apps. you need to use the updated fix permissions script (included in the latest cyanogen rom, or at his google code page). if that doesnt work, uninstall and reinstall the apps
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Is this ALT+F from recovery?

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] Wipeout2098:
Hi everyone, 1st post :)

I have a Q 9h which is a very problematic smartphone when using software made for portrait screens and games. Garbled screen or incomplete display is common. I've read that screen rotation and correct GAPI implementation would increase compatibility a lot.

With lack of screen rotation, software made for 240x320 smartphones or PocketPC doesn't work properly. The best I could do was changing DPI:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Display\dpi]

"LogicalPixelsX"=dword:00000060

"LogicalPixelsY"=dword:00000060

After changing 131 to 96 fits a lot more on the screen. Then I decreased font size too and played with a virtual cursor utility. But it's somewhat half-assed.

The other problem can be seen here:

This explains what I mean: http://www.modaco.com/content/q-q-m...-the-motorola-q-what-developers-need-to-know/

I've read 50+ forum threads by now, downloaded software kits and source code, even searched hacking tools. I've downloaded multiple versions of gx.dll and the source code and tried to recompile it. I've tried whatever I remember in almost a week. I've downloaded 20+ emulators (sometimes multiple versions) and I only found 3 that work. Then it happens in native games too. The problem may be related with PowerVR drivers either.

Honestly I'm exhausted and getting nowhere, please help. Cheers and thanks for reading.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anartic:
I just received my new class 6 SD card in the mail today, and I was wondering how I can transfer all my files over to it. I don't mean like music and stuff like that, but like my Apps2SD. I don't exactly know what all I have to transfer over, but if someone can give me the adb commands and what I'm trying to transfer, that would be great.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Go to the recovery console

mount /sdcard

mkdir /sdcard/ext

cp /system/sd/* /sdcard/ext/

the copy the ext folder to your new card, put it in your phone and go back to recovery

mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd

cp /sdcard/ext/* /system/sd/

I've probably made a couple of mistakes with mounting the partitions correctly, so you may have to mount /sdcard on the second batch of commands.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
Use Adrian's method
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidChill:
awesome, i've been wanting to know how to do this myself so this will definitely come in useful.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
What? Pushing apps to the ext is not a good idea when the phone is in the ROM (when I tried half of them showed and half of those FCed)

You can easily mount your ext - mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
i don't push i use adb install that way all of them get installed and i don't have the problem with certain apps not showing up right. ;)

you say that like i want to type a really long command, i just use adb remount, or if i am forced to use my phones keyboard for command i just go to the recovery console and use mount system or mount system/sd depending on how specific i feel;) . (i hate typing commands on the g1s keyboard, and its and epic fail if you mess a long one up.)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palosjr:
easiest way i have done this is do a switchrom backup, make sure its saved to your old sd, get your new sd partitioned correctly, and copy the switchrom folder from your old sd to your new one, then do the normal steps to restore a switchrom backup... this will restore your rom to the exact moment it was when you saved it. had me back up and running in 10 minutes after a new sd was here.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anartic:
Thanks so much for the help guys, I just noticed that I left my USB cord at work :/, so tomorrow I'll get back to you guys about this.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
ya i started my response and saw you already answered so i was like mehhhh

i wrote my own script to do all this stuff below for me, and its done through the recovery.

Back up apps

Remove app_s folder

Reformat ext3 partition

Restore apps

Enter Recovery

SwitchRom Backup/Restore

Clear Dalvik-Cache

adb push while booted works fine for me, it just slows the crap outta the phone for a good 2-3 minutes, but it works fine. i use push because adb install hasnt always worked 100% for me (i have ~130 apps, and some of them don't install.)

anyways ill edit out my post to stop confusion :P
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
i have no more then 40 apps so adb install doesn't really flunk out on me:)

the only thing i don't like is the protected apps that show up in the fugly system default app icon and the long name.

It is an honor to me to be a beta tester for ur ROMs if you wish.

Thanx a lot
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] alphazero:
be sure thats what i will try to provide you. give me just some more time. even nearly everything is the same like the diamond cooking i need to investigate some things. what is your experience on manila 2.5 ? is there a rock stable version of manila available ? or does manila have any crash ? i need your "longtime" experience on this. i already had success on speeding up the rom ;)

i need pros and cons for 2.1 manila vs. 2.5 manila so i can finalize this. from my 1 day experience i would suggest to stay for now on 2.1 cause its more solid and better for dailyuse without experimental parts. wich would concur with the philosophy of this rom.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] swooshz:
as far as I know, there's not a really stable version of manila2.5 out there, so I'd suggest using the latest Manila2.1. Not sure which build is most stable, I'm not that experienced...

The best of luck in your cooking :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] alphazero:
thanks and this makes things for me lot easier for my first release. so lucas will be manila 2.1 wm6.5 rom :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
I like that :).

Which 6.5, one of the newest with the silly icons at the bottom, or one of the more "normal" ones.

Personally, I prefer the "normal" ones, but that's my opinion and it's your ROM.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] phantomrt:
This is a 2-part dilemma...

1.) is there a way to use my Wi-fi and data plan as a gateway for internet access with the computers in my home? I want to be able to turn on the Wi-fi, and the phone will become an access point and its internet connection comes from my data plan... I guess this can be done with a T-mobile G1.

2.) the way I do it now is that I hook it up via USB to a computer, and that works pretty well. Problem is, if I disconnect it via software function on the phone or just yank the USB plug out, I have to re-boot my phone before the internet sharing will work again. This gets annoying. Anyone else experience this and/or know if there's a fix?

Or am I just dumb and want everything on a silver platter?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Jonathan1683:
are these computers connect in a network. I am sure it can easily be done by internet connection sharing just have all the computers connect to your pc for a connection.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] phantomrt:
I thought about doing that--basically an internet share to an internet share. That WOULD work, but I was hoping for something a bit simpler. i am not a hardcore computer user like I was back in the day where I had to have at least 3 computers running 24/7 in order to cope with life. LOL. I was hoping for a setup where I can just walk in the door from a crappy day at work, plug my phone into the charger where it gets its best signal, and just leave it there and the rest will take care of itself. I am close to being able to do that with my Xlink bluetooth cellular gateway. Once I am home, there's no reason why I have to carry my phone around the house, as my hard-wired phones in the house ring through my cellular and I can make calls from them

The other option is to quit being a cheap turd and get a $30/mo internet connection for my computers, which is faster than the EDGE service I get here at home. But I live alone and don't download big stuff anymore or play multiplayer games, etc
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] ugoff:
I think the concept in question is one that has been batted around here for some time: Can the Kaiser be used as an access point with an internet connection?

As far as anyone's been able to tell, no. The phone's wifi chip(or part of a chip that does wifi) would need to support AP mode (access point mode) where in it receives and routes multiple wifi connections' data between each other and the GPRS hardware. As far as anyone's been able to tell, the wifi capabilities in the phone are limited to single-connection only, so allowing multiple devices to connect (or even 1, unless the desired device can get internet via adhoc or bluetooth) is not possible.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] XGX5309:
You can use the WiFi connection sharing. What it does is take your EDGE or 3G connection and set your phone up as an "access point". I put that in parenthesis because it creates an "ad-hoc" network that only certain devices can detect and connect to. Ad-Hoc is a device to device network, where the normal is infrastructure mode. Also being the device it is, I'm not sure if it's going to be an intelligent network device, IE.. iTunes music sharing between local connected clients. But you can most certainly share your connection with your laptops or desktops if they have WiFi. I'll see if I can find the cab for you and post it here.

EDIT: Here you go... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4175565&postcount=90
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] phantomrt:
Cool. I will look into that! I pretty much only have one computer running at a time these days, and the EDGE connection isn't all that fast to be sharing it among multiple computers anyway.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] jeen:
why...

Hi,

Not sure if i understand... why would someone use the "crappy" internet connection of a phone to get internet access to your home network...

It's 2009. Why not get a decent cable or DSL account
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] denco7:
$ 30.00 for your phone data connection + $ 45.00 for your home cable/DSL connection = $75.00 per month, as opposed to just $30.00 for both.

To some people $ 45 dollars a month is a lot of money to save no matter how slow the connection is. :)

WMWifiRouter

I like WMWifiRouter pretty well. It drains my battery like crazy, but when I have my phone plugged in, it's okay. Without being plugged in, my battery loses about 20% over ten minutes. Also, the free version doesn't really come with any admin features. The router is public and there's no way to see who's connected. Other than that, it's great!

In my opinion guys if none of the developer haven't made a new application for it, just don't bother. Once i call at Htc costumer service and they tell me that: "the hero device can't transfer files or to receive, just for pairing with the headphones or ck

ar kit." I have tried so many application but it doesn't work for my hero. To bad! :( but i'm positive and i will wait for a new software.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mesquire:
I don't think it is possible with Contacts - even Microsoft Outlook supports only 3 email entries.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
I wish you could have more than 1 Mobile/Cell Phone number listed for someone. When will M$ change this? Now people do have more than 1 cell phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mesquire:
You can use other redundant fields for additional numbers, e.g., I use the Pager field for the 2nd mobile number - not many ppl have a pager where I live these days
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
i know you can do that, but if you want to text someone, you can only text to numbers listed as mobile (without having to pull up the contact list & manually selecting the number). i type the name of the person i want to text in the "to" field, & only mobile numbers show up when you do that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mesquire:
Sadly that is a limitation of a lot of the software - they presume you can only text to mobile numbers

I want to text my home number too (where I live you can sms to landlines, provided they have a phone with text capability) but I bypassed the problem using a separate Contacts entry with the home number stored as a mobile number - not convenient I know.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Madcypher:

Hi I will be recieving my Mytouch in a couple days and I was interested in rooting. I read about the different methods and the 1 click seems the most efficient. My questions are...

1: Should I root my phone right when I get it or should I download all the apps I want and transfer my contacts first?

2: Will the 1 click method be patched in the upcoming week?

3: When I root my phone will everything be deleted?

4: How can I backup EVERYTHING I have on the phone?

5: When new updates come out, how will I apply them?

Thank you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] korndub:
wrong place - this is android development. this belongs in Q&A - mods, please move to Q&A -

answers:

1. either way - i would suggest rooting first, because you may need to wipe, thus losing your apps/contacts and needing to re-sign in

2. you may still be able to use the 1-click method - give it a try

3. see #1

4. you can use 1 click to install a mod'd recovery image thus allowing you to create a nandroid - however see #1

5. you download them and apply them through the recovery image.
