[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yussef:
So today I had my G1 in my pocket with headphones plugged in and listening to audio, as I often do. Then I decided to go down a short plastic slide at a kids playground in a park I was passing thru.

About half way down the slide I get this very abrupt odd sensation, as if I'm hearing and also feeling a loud pop. At first I literally thought someone threw something at me. Then suddenly I realize I must have gotten shocked from my phone. I take a look at the phone, see that it is off. I try to power it off, nothing happens. I try a different battery, still nothing. I try taking out the sim card and sd card and then try each of the batteries again. Still nothing. I'm not sure if it's off any matter, but when I was shocked, the phone had the larger Seido battery (2600mA I believe). The only thing I can get the phone to do is when I plug it into a power charger without a battery in the phone, a whine comes out of the front speaker.

So I have two questions, can anyone explain what happened to my phone which made it stop working.

And is there anything I can try to revive it? What should/shouldnt I say to Tmo if I take it to them to try getting it replaced?

Does this kind of thing happen often? I know pools and phones don't work, but I'd never heard about needing to take your phone out before going down a slide...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenixnr:
Going down a slide depending if its plastic or metal creates a LOT of static build up. You might have literally electrocuted your phone.

Lol when I had a Windows Mobile phone, the Tmobile WIng/htc Herald I would go to touch my phone after jumping on a trampoline and the shock would reset the phone

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan75:
That's...wait for it...shocking!

Sorry for your loss.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Cooked.

Bad move having the earphones plugged in -- that's like an enormous static electricity conductor.

Just for fun, have you tried putting in the stock battery? It definitely won't turn on without *any* battery. If you are *really* lucky, you may have just cooked the chip on the battery, although this is (in my opinion) extremely unlikely (but at least worth trying -- nothing to lose).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yussef:
Thanks for the responses.

The slide was plastic.

And yes I did try with both batteries, nothing different.

I stopped in a Tmo store today, and they tried everything I tried, and had the same result. So they ordered me a new phone, I guess it was under warranty since its less than 1 year. But they told me if they find physical or water damage I will be charged $135. Think I have any reason to be concerned? I told the rep at the store what happened, but he assured me it would be fine.

I'm just surprised thing doesnt happen a bit more often. I feel like busting a Mcdonalds lady and suing someone! I just can't decide if it should be htc, tmo, or the maker of the slide?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palosjr:
have you tried to shock your phone again? kinda like EMS would do on a patient with no pulse? it may just shock you battery back... rub your socks on some carpet, rub your hands on balloons, or just jump on a trampoline like suggested.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
To start with, since YOU fried it, technically, there should be no warranty, so $135 is cheap to buy a new phone.

Second, if they want to detect physical damage, they'll have to very carefully slice open all the chips on the board and examine them with an electron microscope. Basically, it would cost them tens of thousands of $$ to prove that its physically damaged in order to get $135 out of you... and even then, they wouldn't be able to prove that it was due to you hitting it with static electricity or due to an internal short.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jndd333:
Wow. (Note to self: leave my phone on a bench or something before being forced down plastic slides with relatives/friends small children. I think kids come statically charged naturally;p )
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] skg77:
Is there a program available that when activated lists all networks available currently with their signal strengths, I would like to have this to judge which is the best network to subscribe to in my areas.

It would be great if such a software also shows a cumulative / average signal over a period, bcoz in some case signals can fluctuate rapidly between 0 and 100%

I was watching the video and saw the TV-OUT option at 5:49 onward. I wonder what that implies, but I'm sure someone on here knows. Also, the wireless tether or mifi option is kickass.
[HD2 General] robertlewisca:
That's not the HD2 in the video - its the Touch Pro 2.
[HD2 General] br3nt:
@robertlewisca : exactly - but isnt it a Leo ROM?

if it is a rhodium rom its understandable...
[HD2 General] surur:
Miri, the ROM cook, has confirmed that is from the TP2, and that the Leo ROM contained no TV out packages.

[HD2 General] hyellow:
so okay, no tv-out out of the box.. but.. what about the micro-usb. it is capable of more functionality than the ordinary mini usb, right? maybe in the future some company is delivering us tv-out trhough micro-usb. I don't really see the point of it actually, since the screen so huge, it can be seen from across the street.
[HD2 General] kersh:
Maybe you live in a Candy world on the superduper lollipop street.

NO TV OUT.

end of history, we have see this even in the TYTN II and people saying "BUT BUT SOMEONE WILL BRING IT TO US"

No. nobody will bring tv-out on HD2 to us, If you dont like or you can't accept it, buy other device, because HD2 will never have TV-out.
[HD2 General] xmoo:
Without trying you never know.

TP2, no FM-Radio. Someone tried, and yes! It had FM-Radio but not enabled out of the box!
[HD2 General] kersh:
If someone can get a TV out of the HD2, I will donate him 50$, but seriously I doubt it a lot.
[HD2 General] Archer:
lol

They've got 10 of these on a wall near my house. It's considered the local multiplex!
[HD2 General] zeroSIXzero:
TV-out, yes

The Norwegian HTC tells that the HD2 have TV-out, but only by using an optional special TV-out cable normally not in the box.

I have been looking for more info onthis, but I can notfind it.

This ws reported on sme of the Norwegian teckno webs.
[HD2 General] wonsanim:
B3ler3fonte did you have some info about this?
[HD2 General] Lonesnark:
There is no room for TV-out in the micro-USB connector. There is not even room for audio out. All audio, in and out, must go through the 3.5 jack, which does have four pins. Therefore, it is scientifically possible for one of these pins to play double duty, running TV-out through the microphone pin. However, these would require a pure software solution, as merely plugging in a TV-out cable cannot tell the HD2 to turn it on as it did for all previous HTC products with TV-out.

Therefore, unless the TV-out hardware was a free install, such as a function of the processor that all you must do to use it is not disable it, then TV-out is unlikely.
[HD2 General] naf:
no room for audio on micro-usb?? Check Nokia HS-82 and Motorola S280 or Samsung microUSB headsets and think again!!
[HD2 General] mjridore:
MAybe it does

http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2009/09/18/the-htc-leo-has-a-digital-compass-and-tv-out/

This site says the original Leo (HD2) has tv out and digital compass and was hoping it would be enabled on retail so maybe a chance with these wonderful rom builders out here.
[HD2 General] naa77:
once again XDA, will be making things work how they should in the first place !
[HD2 General] clubtech:
I hope someone can make this work, but rumors have it the hardware is not there.

Update: i searched in the registry and some things did came up like:

HKLM\\Drivers\Display\TV

HKLM\\Drivers\Display\TV\PanelDLL

HKLM\\Software\HTC\H2W\TVOutCableIn

Not sure if those mean anything.
[HD2 General] spaanplaat:
I wonder... HKLM\\Software\HTC\H2W\TVOutCableIn is set to 0.

It seems there are other HTC phones which do not have tv-out enabled by default but with an Iphone tv-out cable and a converter it should be possible to enable tv-out with a simple cab file with those devices.

Check it out here!

Would this be doable for the HD2?? I do not have a converter, but I do have a Nokia n96 tv-out cable at home. I will try it when I come home. Otherwise is there someone with a micro usb to mini usb adapter and a htc connector adapter and a Iphone tv-out cable willing to try?? Here you can download the cab file.
[HD2 General] pgamble:
I always thought that if it was latent on the device it would be supported via the 3.5mm jack ... not the MicroUSB. Most devices like the iPod, N95 etc use the 3.5m jack.

The other interesting thing was that the supplied headphones came with 3 black rings which normally indicates AV rather than just audio.

Would be great for someone to see if it is latent ... the thought of having similar devices such as the TP2 and HD .... one having TV-Out and other not ... always felt artificial to me .... fingers crossed.

Paul.
[HD2 General] zolom:
In the link, it is mentioned that this setup does not work with HD, so it may not be an option on the HD2 as well.:mad:
[HD2 General] spaanplaat:
But the HD has a different chipset/cpu than HD2 and the registry entry is there... as soon as I get home I will stuff my N96 tv-out cable in there and hope for the best :D

So, I've had the g1 since it came out. I had it replaced a couple of times due to various issues, but never had issues with rooting or updating radio or SPL, nothing, everything was always smooth sailing as far as any of that stuff went. Well, after a couple replacements, my very last not reading SIM cards, the folks at my local T-Mobile store simply gave me a brand new phone out of the box rather than going through the exchange process. SO, here is my issue, the new phone, had it since july-ish, has not been able to update the radio. No matter what I do, it will not update. Here is my original thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4829545#post4829545

What I want to know is if there is ANYTHING that could be preventing my phone from taking the update..I know I am not missing any steps, I have re-rooted about 10 times now, and tried various points between updating roms to try and update the radio as well. Is there any way to update without doing it the traditional "flash update.zip" way? I've tried with all recovery images as well..nothin. I'm still at 1.22.12.29, no matter what I do it will not change...!!! I am going nuts here ><

You need to remap the Windows key (or HOME key as it's called) so that on the Click event it performs the action "Run program". Set the program to run as "\Windows\manila.exe", and the arguments as "--switchtopage programs.page" (both without quotes). Works perfectly, no more horrible Windows Start page! :)

Ebay has good deals. What you need is called the digitizer. Such as: touch pro digitizer on ebay. I just had the same problem as you. I dropped my phone and something scratched the very outside layer of the screen. A small patch started peeling away and the touch screen stopped working.

Some sellers on ebay offer both the digitizer and LCD as a package, but unless the display is also not working, you can save money and buy just the digitizer.

QUICK guide How-To Update your Diamond ROM

Well , I have been one of those guys that are not so go with the whole updating the ROM things...

So I have finally did it... after weeks of pain.

These are the steps to update your ROM.

Try follow these Steps and you should be fine

Step 1

You will need to HARD-SPL your phone...

You will need to download the Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=400950

Download, extract to an empty folder.

Run RomUpdateUtility.exe, Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile

follow steps, check device for prompts after PC shows loading bar. it should to black screen now.

SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.

to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (volume down + reset, i.e. press volume down button and reset then keep holding the volume down key until you see tricolour screen) and verify the screen shows 1.40.OliNex.

note: you will not see the SPL version during normal boot, that is the OS version, not SPL!

Step 2

Diamond Custom RUU Updater Software

You will need to download DiamonCustomRUU.zip

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=396073

Download the software

Extract to a folder on your desktop

When you are ready to update the phone, copy the ROM file into that folder

*** Remember to RENAME the file to RUU_signed.nbh

Step 3

There are many fine ROM on the forum, choose one that you like.

Here is one you can use

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=563245

I hope this helps some people that have struggled to make sense of it all. Please remember there are complete "Bibles" on how to do this. The above is just a quick how-to.

1) You can set autoplay time (ex. 16:20) and fix date (ex. 11/11/09)

and next <ok> (or "Refresh").

It should play once at 16.20 11/11/09.

2) You can set autoplay start time (ex. 16:20:30) and periodicity (ex. 2

min, 1 hour, 60 min) and next <ok>. It should play each e.g. 2 minutes

from 16:20:30 today.

If all is OK you can close or exit the program and anyway autoplay

should run the playing at time...
