I lost ya when you said you tried to part it again but nothing is found. Did you partition the card and no apps are found or you couldn't partition the card.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaraG86:
I tried to partition the card again but there was no data found and I couldn't partition it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fingerlickin:
If you can't even partition it then you have a bad card brother. The strange behavior could be a symptom of the ext partition failing. I'm assuming you have a swap partition but don't actually use it with a user.conf file otherwise a failing card would cause your phone to completely freeze.

Is there a way to cause a hardware problem of some sort so I could use my warranty and get my phone exchanged?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ronh:
Put it in a microwave oven for a couple of seconds?? ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
With respect, if you want to exchange your device, isn't it because of hardware failure? If it's software, shouldn't a hard reset fix your problems?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jasonjoo:
Well, it's because of a few cosmetic scratches (as well as one on the screen) that I want the phone exchanged because I've finally ordered a case and screen protectors. Except... they didn't arrive before I dropped the phone ;_;
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ameiurus:
a 9V battery across the battery terminals probably isn't healthy for the phone... ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
I might suggest taking a hammer to the interface between your keyboard and chair.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gliscameria:
I know that if you ruin the top right pin on the USB port the phone won't charge anymore. I'd say that warrants a warranty. Don't you have to pay like $70 now to get a replacement, or are you going to wait 2 weeks?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mike Mercury:
I'm remembering that everyone was griping about the cost of the TP2 when it was first available... and now you want to exchange a fully working phone???

stop causing the rest of us to pay higher prices.

Instead of exchanging the phone, why not pay to have the scratched pieces replaced... using your money instead?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] headshok:
Tough luck. But that is not what warranty protects it from. Had you wanted protection from that sort of accident you should have bought the plan through your cell phone provider. Falsifying hardware failures is not only wrong, it jacks up the price, and increases headaches for people who have ACTUAL warranty issues!

So goodluck with the attempt to wreck your phone, I'll laugh when I read the post about "HELP I MICROWAVED MY PHONE AND HTC WONT WARRANTY IT, HOW CAN I FIX IT?!?!?!"
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] vin5cent0:
Seriously, wtf.. it's dumbasses like you that cause this phone to be $600 in the first place.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] quid246:
Okay, this is a "sure fire" way of causing a hardware failure. You have to follow these steps in order or it will not work.

1. Find a high-voltage source. This may be your local hydro-electric transmission tower or the third-rail in any subway system.

2. Hold phone in one hand.

3. Use other hand to touch the high-voltage source.

And after some smoke and mirrors, your family/people in your last will and testament will be forever thankful for the new phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Joe Pinball:
I am SO determined my new phone would stay looking new as long as possible that I've had my BNIB TP2 sat in it's box for 5 days now, waiting for the invisiSHIELD full bodykit to arrive from the USA - which arrived today! \o/ ... and it turned out I'd ordered the wrong one! /o\

... so now I have to wait another 10 days awaiting the correct version... *sighs*

However, I really REALLY want this phone to STAY looking as good as new, so I wait & carry on using my Kaiser in the meantime... by the time the new kit arrives hopefully WinMo 6.5 will be out too so it's no biggie waiting 10 days: I expect to get 2+ years out of it after all.

Joe

P.S. I've taken it out 3 time so far & stroked it *sob* then carefully put it back in it's little plastic bag. Soon My Preshusss..... soon.....

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] runemaster:
Understood his dilemma. The phone is expensive, and I would like it to stay as new as possible. Until now, I still don;t care to use a cloth to wipe the screen, even thou i had screen protector on it. sigh
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Dalamak:
I've taken, my phone, and put it in the engine compartment of my car with a sparkplug wire off, and let, the voltage from the coil, nearly 50,000 volts, arc through the phone with nothing.

as for putting it in the microwave, the first thing to go, will be htte LCD display, and the thin touch film over it, and I'm sure broken screens are not covered..... also tried

just take, a very small screw driver or a tweezer, and scrap off a diode, or resistor, or whatever
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] agitprop:
I'm sure rectal insertion would kill it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
its been my experience with WM phones & TmoUS that if you tell them there's a problem & that it continues to persist even after a Hard Reset, they'll warranty exchange it. So... just makes something up... I doubt they actually try to verify all claims.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Dalamak:
if your doing it over the phone

Just keep telling them that the phone stops when it says t-mobile or whatever

, yes them with all there directions for hard resets, and keep telling them it freezes,at the boot up, they'll swap it

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MadMartyn:
I'll second that, run it to the ground then get the latest, this TP2 is an awsome handset though and not one that I think I'll be chucking soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orouborus:
hi all,

just recently bought a hero and sorry for the noob questions. any help will be greatly appreciated.

1.) How do i activate the green notification light for any new notifications? so far i can only use the trackball to flash for a number of minutes and thats it.

2.) how can i permanently use 3g as a signal without switching back to edge? i prefer 3g because it is faster, but when i use the web, it reverts to edge making it slower when browsing. i want it never to switch back to edge just 3g.

3.) How do you update radio and rom? is it the same with winmo? i have a topaz and im currently using hero.

Thanks for any feedback! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orouborus:
So far the only answer i found was the notification light as a bug or a defect. line switching is still unsolved and updating. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cokbok:
1) It works as it is stated in the user's manual. How can you state that it is a bug or defect? Funny... Just because it works that way on Magic or G1 does not mean that it has to be the same on Hero.

2) You cannot as your phone will automatically switch between them when one another is not available. You phone will select 3G only if it is available around where you are. If it switches to Edge/GPRS/whatever, that means you don't have 3G signals around you.

3) There are 1.000 posts on the forum here regarding updating ROM, etc. Search is our best friend.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
You can force HSDPA, but you do so at your own risk!

You need to download AnyCut from the Market and create new shortcut to the activity "Phone Info". From this short cut, you access a screen which gives lots of diagnostic info about the phones state and there is an option to "Set preferred network type". By default this is "WCDMA Preferred", but if you want to force to always use HSDPA you should select "WCDMA Only".

Note if you do this, your phone will never drop back to 2G, even if a 2G signal is available and a 3G one isn't.

I wouldn't advise playing around with any of the other options in this screen unless you know what you are doing!

Regards,

Dave

I've been wondering about this for a while now coz my phone browser doesn't load flash items.

Has anybody out there able to use flash player yet?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiz:
Newer flash content doesn't work (that made with flash more than a certain version number, I don't recall right now what that is). Hopefully future updates will include a newer flash player when it is available.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peter Franks:
See my Orange Update thread, same problem for me.... I get that window and hourglass, but Fox/Dave says he can view youtube desktop version, which I've never been able to get. I think some can/some can't.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Ok, going into YouTube and selecting the desktop version, when I pick a video I get the hour glass, which is then replaced by a normal YouTube video "window" with a large play icon. When I click on this, I'm taken to the "HTC Flash Player" (i.e. the video does not play in the window) and the video starts.

The one I've just tried can be found at this link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAgir4WlQ4U

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peter Franks:
Nice vid! and totally believable:p

No, I don't get that on the HTC, it won't take me to the player. But there are loads of sites with Flash that it won't let me play either. Do you ever go to vids through the youtube app and still not get it to play? There's is a fair bit that won't play for me.

Hello,

hopefully somebody got a registry twaek or anything that make

it possible to use the mail preview in TouchFlow or MS 3.5 in

combination with BBConnect. :confused:

Right now in both programms it is only possible to see the header

of the mails. Well that´s a little bit frustrating, because it makes

it impossible to use the preview function, and you still have to

oben the mailreader programm.

Thanks for your reponse.

Howie 1969
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mitsi:
Hi Howie,

I have been using various versions of BBConnect on various handsets for about 4 years now. I'm afraid I have never seen a solution to this. I would like to be able to delete the emails from the Touch Flo screen using a soft key without having to open them anyway. BBConnect is an apauling programme and causes lots of bugs. Your one is just one of them!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Howie1969:
Hi Mitsi,

thanks for your feedback.

Just to your point, within MS3.5 it´s possible to delete an mail

with "two clicks" without open the original mailprogramm.

Well, from my point of view, since it is a problem that comes up

in TFD and MS3.5, i believe there must be a solution.

It seems that both programms are using a procedure or whatever

that is similar in both programms. ( Hey sorry, i´m not a programmer)

From my point of view it must be possible to trace that back.

But to be honest i don´t know how, if somebody could point me in the

direction i would try it. But hopefully there are more experienced guy´s out

there who knew how to do that.

Is there somebody ???

Okay, maybe this way works, if somebody will provide a solution,

we can talk about a reward - 10 until 15€ ???

We will see.....

Hello,

bump it up again, still hoping somebody got a solution and is going to get

the reward :confused:

Yet another questition, since i´m running on the stock rom (german ),

could give me somebody a hint if the mailpreview will work with sense 2.5

or maybe with a "cooked" rom.

Would be great to get at least a feedback, if that will be a way,

that i could follow for a solution on this issue.

Hi All,

Has anyone tried out all the major vendors still around?

I don't want to fork out for all of them...

About to try the package that comes with the CF IR booster called 'ultramote'.

However I believe there's others which are prolly better...

If I upgrade to the latest rom (6.5.x?) will they still work?

I also have something "roughly" like this visualised... (see attached .txt)

I have an old Axim X50v which android is being ported to atm...

But progress is slow & ultimately limited, so I may have to find a better supported device soon.

Any thoughts/ideas/advice greatly appreciated!

Ohh i get it you want a remote for pda. Gotcha ... IR is not included with HTC devices after the titan II.
[General Topics] jalyst:
Um, no... :D

If you look at my "rough" diagram (attached) ...

I'm hoping to devise a device that acts a central controller for consumer electronics & home automation.

So far the most promising solution I've found is this...

http://www.openremote.org/display/orb/Boss+Overview

You don't have to use their reference hardware but something low power/profile like it would be ideal.

I was thinking of integrating the entire thing into my existing HTPC/PVR but I'm not sure yet, it might be best to have dedicated machine.

To run this software it's critical one has JRE + Apache Tomcat installed/configured properly.

I'd in turn probably run this software on top of Ubuntu or LinuxMCE.

This controller would be able to send/receive via;

Internet, Wifi, Ethernet, IR, X10, some proprietary RF, & numerous other HA/CE related protocols.

A critical part of this system is a hand-held (x50v) that interfaces nicely with the controller.

This hand-held would ideally also have IR integrated, but it's not imperative as Wifi would be used mostly.

However

...

In the short term I want to use my hand-held (x50v) as the 'central controller' for various devices using its IR.

Hence the basis for my original post....

I'm interested in other peoples ideas, have you tried something similar?

Have you played with a platform that's better (in your opinion) than openremote?

Or perhaps you know of a better hware/sware combo for the hand-held?

Cheers,

Jed
[General Topics] jalyst:
Well I've done some investigations and Linux/android support is just too limited and prolly will remain that way to bother with Linux on the x50v.

So it'll have to be x50v + WM + app <---> HA controller device <---> end devices

Longer term I'll have to get something like the nokia n900 (maemo based) or at least something with good potential for Linux support.
[General Topics] jalyst:
So it'd be cool to get a few more thoughts on this from people doing similar stuff.

I realise that's probably not a large cross-section of people though, LOL :D

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnurzelat:
Hi,

i have bought a German Vodafone branded Touch Diamond 2. But i have some questions:

- There is a built-in G-Sensor, which can be calibrated, but it do nothing else. I can rotate the phone till my hands fall off, but nothing happens (i already tried some registry tweaks, i found in this forum)

- When i click on the Symbols in the Startmenu line e. g. the battery symbol, then it doensn't open the battery settings, but something called "notifications" (Benachrichtigungen).

- The Manila screen has wrong colors. White/red instead of black/white. How can i change it?

- How can i get the "HTC Audio Manager" to play the files in a folder? I want to listen to a audiobook, but it messes up the file order, which is pretty annoying.

Now, while i am writing this, i think about flashing a unbranded ROM could be simpler, right? But is this the solution i am looking for?

Greets

schnurzelat
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathJester:
- Accelerometer: Are you attempting to use the g-sensor for anything in particular? Try loading up the game "Teeter" which relies on the accelerometer for moving the ball along a maze. There are few provided apps which require the accelerometer functionality, and Manila doesn't rotate by default.

- TouchFLO notifications is an addon provided by HTC. Search the forums for instructions on how to disable this functionality; I believe there are a couple of applications which will allow you to do this without manually editing registry keys etc.

- Red / White is Vodafone's brand. You may be able to install a replacement skin for Manila, it's up to you.

I'm afraid I don't use my Topaz for listening to music, so I can't help with your final issue.

Flashing an unbranded ROM may resolve the third issue, but the rest will more than likely remain. I don't see them being issues, though, just personal preference!

HTH.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnurzelat:
Thanks for the answers!

The solution for the first and the second problem is this. If someone is wondering: The Topaz has a built in G sensor, but it is unused, mean's that no installed program is using this feature by default. Really strange from my point of view!

The third problem seem to be a little more difficult: M2DC say's that manila is not installed! And i wasn't able to find a Diamond II skin to download. Others are available. Maybe someone can give me a hint?

For the fourth problem i work around using a patched TCPMP, which looks a little outdated, but is my personal number one for media playback.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pa49:
I think you will find that the sensor is used when you flip the phone over on an incoming call to mute the ringing!
