[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] roccotrisoliere:
:Di just bought the cellet holster for tmob tp2 from ebay for $9.99 and it is perfect.

Cellet Rubberized Elite Holsters is the best. the elite holster is made of a hard plastic that has a rubberized texture coating for extra grip and durability. When you insert the phone you will hear it "click" into place. Phone is ultra secure within the holster. You can press the release tab on the top of the holster to remove your phone. The belt clip on this holster is awesome. Clip will turn/lock in different positions. The clip has a slim profile so it will not extend far from your waist and bump into things. You can access the charger port, volume, memory, etc. There is also a cutout for the camera on the back of the holster. This holster is designed to fit the phone face-out but it will also fit face-inward. Attach to your side and always have quick access to your phone.

i did buy a week before this one, the bodyglove case and was very disappointed. the case dug into the side of the phone, was begging to take up the protective stickers on the keyboard, and was very bulky, and when clip to my belt stuck to far out. two thumbs down for bodyglove,,,,,

two thumbs up for cellet holster!!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] imjussayin:
nice find.....i just ordered a different rubberized case for my Tmo TP2 but i may pick this one up as well. I agree with you about the bodyglove case. That thing has caused more harm to my phone than good (i.e. scratched keyboard and overall abrasive fit while it cradles the phone). given the pic above i'll def. have to check out the cellet holster.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] roccotrisoliere:
one full day of playing around with it: IT STILL ROCKS. IT IS AS SOLID AS.... WELL A ROCK! LOL . great feel, and not bulky at all
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] bevoer:
yeah!thanks!!good work!

..........................
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] what150:
I think it's too exposed. (just a personal idea)

: )
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] amurch:
Oh yeah, I would never walk around with the screen exposed to the elements / harmful objects that could scratch, damage, or kill the screen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] roccotrisoliere:
you can flip the phone around to protect it some more the back of the case is cut out for the camera and speaker though, it has two small squares and a small rectangle
[Off-topic] mdphoenix:
I used to frequent PPC Geeks and lurk here, but I think that's starting to reverse. Is anyone on here that's also on PPCG noticing this? Every friggin' thread prompts some sort of hostile response. People are getting wayyy out of hand. Getting all uptight about waiting for the unlocker, etc. Tell me everyone over here is more laid back, please?
[Off-topic] galaxys:
They do seem very uptight, and I don't go there for the most part.

This XDA forum is very cool :cool: Just Read, Search, Respect others, and have Fun! :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrolemon:
So, this didn't happen until the other day, but suddenly, my Power/End, Call, Menu, Home and Back buttons aren't working on my G1. The only way I could get the phone to power up was to plug it into a USB, and then place the battery in to force a boot. I can't reset anything, leave screens, accept calls, or do anything really because of this issue, and it's debilitating.

Before you tell me to search, I'll tell you that I've already searched multiple times. I know the rules of the forums, and I wouldn't have created a new thread if the issue had already been solved by a previous thread. However, if I missed a thread that could help, rather than saying "SEARCH FOR CHRIST'S SAKE", I'd appreciate a link.

Thanks, guys. XDA has always been useful to me, and I really just want a solution, since the G1 has been the best phone I've ever had.

If it matters, I'm using Cyanogen 4.1.11.1, with the 2.6.29.6-cm41 kernel. I'd upgrade, but I can't, since my home button isn't working.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolemnWishing:
Try wiping, enter terminal or use adb shell "reboot recovery" to enter the reboot screen. Once you have wiped or reflashed, use "reboot"
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrolemon:
I can't wipe or flash, because I need the home button.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolemnWishing:
I know, to enter recovery without using the home button user adb shell reboot recovery
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrolemon:
Yes, but how do I wipe from there? When I select wipe, it asks me to press the home button.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolemnWishing:
Oh my you really seem to have dug yourself into a hole here... not good. Hmm. Try wiping from the Settings on your phone, there is a factory reset on there.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrolemon:
"No reset was performed because the System Clear service was not available."

Is there a way to wipe from the console, or adb shell?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Now thats a right proper one mate..anyway how do you tuen her on if the button doesnt work?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
You can use fastboot to clear your data partition (userdata). But this doesn't sound like a software issue if the buttons aren't even working within recovery/bootloader, it sounds more like a hardware issue. I would take it up with T-Mobile or HTC.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrolemon:
I was able to turn it on by plugging in the battery while it was plugged in via USB, but now that doesn't even work. I have a feeling that I just wiped the entire system, as I can only access the fastboot, and when I try to boot normally, I just get stuck at the white G1 screen. So it seems I have two issues now. Any solutions for either? Unfortunately, my G1 is 5 days out of warranty, too.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
If you can access fastboot, then you can flash RC29 and start from the beginning again or you can flash a nandroid backup that you can get from your sdcard to your PC.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrolemon:
Any idea how to flash a nandroid backup or downgrade to RC29 if I don't have working power, home, menu, or call buttons? Like, is there a guide?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrolemon:
Nobody has any solution that doesn't require me to get a replacement phone? I'm willing to pay for a solution. I'm in dire need of this phone. I hate the Blackberry Curve so much.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
I think your phone is pretty shot. Even if you do manage to get into a ROM, it seems unlikely that your buttons will come back to life. Without being able to use the home or back buttons, you'll be stuck in whatever application you opened until you restart your phone.

If you want to try it out, you can flash an old nandroid backup by first, copying system.img, data.img, and boot.img from the nandroid folder and pasting it in the same folder as your fastboot. Then, boot into the bootloader and type:

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot reboot

which will restore the nandroid backup.

SOLUTION

I found a fix for this problem on another Android forum, essentially you install "Anycut" from the markey and create a shortcut to the "setup wizard", I had a three setup wizards, the third one worked for me and ran all the way through the phone setup, the others just exited as soon as I selected SKIP. It works, prior to that my HOME, MENU and CALL buttons were not working. I think that a faulty update.zip must have caused permission issues with the software, I had installed some new fonts and straight after I lost the buttons!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] buttsbuttsbutts:
Guys I'm over in Europe and attempting to use a vodaphone SIM, I'm running NRG's ROM and radio 4.49.25.17.

T-Mobile had kindly provided the SIM unlock code for my TP2 prior to my trip but when I put in the Vodaphone SIM it doesn't prompt me for an unlock code?

Do I need to manually enter it somewhere?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Z_Tahir1:
I think its supposed to prompt you with a screen asking for the code, make sure the Vodafone sim is properly inserted and if that doesn't work you can try looking up the phones engineering mode.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Is the device booting into Windows Mobile & usable with the other SIM card installed? Where did you buy it? Sounds like it may be unlocked already. Anytime I put the wrong SIM in a locked device, on boot up I would get a message for the unlock code & device was unusable, would not progress past this screen. You had to either enter the unlock code or reset & remove the SIM card.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
First, check if your device is unlocked by going to Start>Settings>System>Device Info and on one of the tabs, it should say unlocked somewhere. Or, you can check it by downloading ATCommander onto your device and entering AT@SIMLOCK?40 into ATCommander. It should return 0 if you're unlocked. If it returns 1, you're SIM locked.

Now, if you are still locked, try flashing the Stock Tmobile USA ROM, and insert the Vodafone SIM then. Hopefully, a dialog should come up with an area to enter you unlock code. On the Kaiser, you supposedly had to be running the stock AT&T ROM in order to get the dialog unlock the device with an unlock code. Hopefully that will work. If not, TMobile tech support could probably answer this. Hope that helps

My friend bought a HTC Touch ripoff (possible skyphone). I'm assuming the windows its running is guinie (been able to install cabs etc.) anyway I was wondering if there is an upgrade to 6.5 for it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] muuu:
Hi, my friend just bought a HTC Tattoo, and when I connected it to his PC, I was prompted to choose what to do (Like on HTC's later WM devices).

I could choose from HTC Sync, Disk drive and Mobile network sharing.

So now I'm interested in getting it to sapphire.

His Tattoo is bought from 3.dk (From Denmark ;)).

And i didn't have time to try it out or learn more about his Tattoo.

Sorry I was in a hurry when i took the picture.

[G1 Android Development] el_cabron:
I was looking for a simple custom ROM that ran my apps smoother when I ran into this version of an old CM ROM http://android-roms.googlecode.com/files/cyanogen_JFv1.51_CM3-ADP.zip . I was wondering if there would be a build like this for the new 1.6 donut firmware, because the newest CM build gives me the problem of laggy/sticky keys on some of my games, where as the normal rooted build just ran slower. Any thoughts?
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
maybe you should contact him and talk about the differences
[G1 Android Development] jay652:
Please justify placing this in the "Android Development" section (although it may be permissible in the CYANOGENMOD thread).

Go.
[G1 Android Development] el_cabron:
I was hoping that there were some subtle differences that made the apps run smoother, and if that could be replicated for the new firmeware. This version was stripped down (no battery graphic on lock, 3 screens not 5) and it was the smoothest/fastest I could find, but it wasn't like the other mods. It was also very stable. Sorry for starting a new thread if I could have just posted in one of his CM threads.
[G1 Android Development] seaweeduk:
cyanogen advised if you had problems with games running slow to disable the lock home app in memory option in spare parts which should free up some more ram, have you tried this?
[G1 Android Development] Marine6680:
I have had this same issue on his older builds as well, so the keep home in memory option is not the issue. The game would be working no lag at all, but the response to button input stops for a few seconds, while the game still continues lag free.

I just read this on engadget

http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/26/sense-ui-update-for-htc-magic-makes-the-scene-in-taiwan/

Well its for Magic which is essentially dream. so lets hope one of our Devs get a dump of this rom add the english language and we'll finally have FULL Sense UI in our G1s
[G1 General] AdrianK:
We already have the sense dump for the magic, and it's already been ported. Buuuuut it's for the 32A, the 288mb ram model, just like the Hero. Apparently it's the fastest yet, but it's still meant for hardware with a 1/3 more ram.

I believe the Google branded phones are the 32Bs which have the same ram as the G1 (192mb) so it would would make sense (pun intended) for them not to get the update (RAM wise + licensing).
[G1 General] My_Name_Is_Neo:
Aahh.. so thats the "Sence UI" roms floating around. well i think days of my G1 are limited then, as most of the new roms will be for the new HTC or Motorola hardware with more ram. We have been trying Compcache & Swap but its still not up to the mark. forget Cyan's ROM even the T-Mo's 1.6 without modification runs faster than any of the Hero Roms.
[G1 General] AdrianK:
Yup, the Sholes/Droid sounds awesome on paper, seems like much more of an upgrade than the Cliq. I'd buy one the second it's released if I had the cash.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] jaqx:
If you haven't heard yet the new TD2 WM 6.5 ROM is available: http://htcpedia.com/news/official-topaz-wm6_5-rom-upgrades.html

I like to err on the side of caution with these things but I know some will be wanting to get upgraded asap. So what's new with the ROM especially with TF3D? I know you get weather on the home screen but does TF3d run deeper as with the new Leo/HD2? Also are there any performance issues?

EDIT: Official Official ROM now available from HTC: http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=728&news_id=310
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] edoftech:
you sure

when i checked about 5mins ago (after spending all day checking every hour on the hour) it still shows no new update available for the touch diamond 2 to 6.5
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Mike Austin:
I have downloaded it. Will it work on a T-Mobile Compact V?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] edoftech:
compact v

isnt that the pure?

i thought that came with 6.5 already, but i think it will but not sure as they are more or less the smae phone spec wise, but i dont know if the internals are configured the same
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] lyriquidperfection:
Ive noticed ive had to make a few changes to my TD2 Tools application for WM 6.5. Here are the changes:

Enlarge Start Menu is now redundant as WM 6.5 uses a full screen Start Menu and in turn, HTC has brought back the Programs Tab in manila and got it working properly.

Most other settings have remained unchanged.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] prabhat:
Good to see this unoffcial release of the Offcial ROM :).

Not sure the ROM will be available on Offcial HTC Support page :confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] toth42:
Uhm. I updated. Then I disabled Manila/Sense, to see the new Today-screen. I was led to believe it was supposed to be like this:

Well, it's not. It's excactly as the old one?

Even here on microsofts pages, they show that Today screen: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/meet/choice-is-yours.mspx

And a google search for 6.5 screenshots, all show this new Todayscreen with the slidable list. Where is it?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] WasStoNed:
So what version of Manilla comes in this 'Official' ROM. Do you think this is the final release? Does it feel bug free? I'd love to flash but am chock full until the weekend..... :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] soganta:
Try doing this:

Go to Settings -> Today screen -> Items

and choose ONLY Windows Default
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Laban:
I like the new WM6.5 today screen, but is there a way to use it and still use the HTC Calendar, HTC Cobtacts appliaction and so on. The Windows apps are just so uggly.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] MattyPW:
Im thinking of installing this as im running Duttys R6 atm, and its well laggy and its annoying me!

What version of Manila comes with this? And are any apps updated?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] WasStoNed:
Is the memory card safe when you do this update or am I better off removing it?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Thomas.A:
It's Sense 2.1

I didn't remove the memorycard before updating and it worked fine.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] WasStoNed:
Just done, with card out....so far pretty smooth. Even picked up on my Copilot install once i put memory card back in :)

Now how do I rename my phone......
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Laban:
I think the interface runs a bit slower than the 6.1 ROM. Entering the dialer or an e-mail takes slightly longer (the phone sort of draws the the application to the screen instead of it popping up immediately).

Also, the Sense/Manila slider at the bottom (the tabs/icons) is not as smooth as it used to be.

Do you agree or is it just me?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] eulem_sa:
i dont feel right about the so called "official 6.5 ROM" from HTCPedia, if it is really an official ROM, why up until now there is no 6.5 update from the OFFICIAL HTC Site?

it seems to me that the claimed Official ROM in HTCPedia is just a ploy for everyone to try it and figure out the BUGS themselves(they can just ask for beta testers directly and not like this)....what a shame, then HTC Folks will redo it addressing the bugs/problems being reported from public.

HTC guys are surely monitoring all forum site to get the much needed bugs/problem information from the so called "Official 6.5 ROM".

for me, that so called Official 6.5 ROM from HTCPedia is not final yet but in beta still since most if not all who flashed it complains of some bugs and problems with the psuedo 6.5 Official ROM.

I guess i'll have to wait 'till it comes out of HTC Support Site to be sure.....if not,then 6.1 works well for me....

BEWARE and be prudent.........
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] speedyb:
I think that it is a bit slower after bootup. but runs smoother....

I instantly uninstalled copilot.... Since I use TomTom...

But I need to change my owner name.... Bu cannot find where to do that :-(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Laban:
Yeah I'm not too impressed either. One example is the memory usage. After a reboot I have 49% RAM available, 30 minutes later I have 28%.

Will dfinately consider a cooked ROM to see if the chefs have managed to speed up the device.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] speedyb:
This is strange.... What other apps have you installed??? I have installed my phone yesterday with the WWE 6.5 version... And now still have 67% free RAM. Instead of 51 with the 6.1 stock WWE rom....

I am Happy...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] bwfcmadlad:
any idea when the official middle east and africa wwe rom might be available?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Laban:
67% free RAM, are you sure it's not the opposit, 23% free RAM?

Right now I have 25% free RAM with no applications installed and nothing except TouchFlo running.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] devilxelloss:
It doesn't really matter how much "free memory" you see from the task manager. RAM can be used as system cache to improve performance, when needed these RAM can be moved from cache back to application use. So you can't simply say "oh, only 20% free RAM, that's bad!", if you can still run Google Maps while browsing complex web pages and listening to music, who cares?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] HandySpanner:
Isn't it naff how the analogue clock on the slider doesn't update to the correct time and always shows 3:10 or so.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] HandySpanner:
Indeed. Free RAM is wasted RAM.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] suatkelem:
Anybody knows how to remove this annoying "My location" feature? And also, Manila flip clock, after unlocking, starts to flip from an hour ago. How to improve it?

Also, assigning Windows button to the Programs tab in Manila, would be nice.

PS Overall impression - this ROM is not ready.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] player911:
That homescreen is called "Windows Default". That is exactly how the default it looks using the default theme, except the pictures you showed have the Weather plugin installed. The weather plugin doesn't come with default installs.

I would recommend changing the theme and background image from the Today Settings.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] bambony:
I've upgraded using the leaked offical ROM with no problems.

I've also removed TF3D as I have tired of the bloat and the WinMo 6.5 Today page works fine. I do miss the weather tab - are there alternatives out there?

WinMo 6.5 is certainly a step forward but why oh why weren't all apps, settings pages et al tweaked as many have? There are still parts of the OS that are 99% the same as 4 years ago??!! The calendar is still extremely ugly and adding appointment details (as well as contact details) still require either the stylus of finger nails. Fortunately I play Spanish guitar but those of us with fat nail-less fingers must be bewildered that touch is not fully implemented.

This includes the most used button X/"OK" at the top right corner which is tiny. Very poor.

Otherwise the improvements work well with scrolling, menu items and the new (ex-honeycomb) programs/start menu easy to use.

So whilst this is an improvement MS have shown they can't compete with Apple in the mobile phone touch control stakes yet. Maybe the project managers need to kick the programmers' butts as progress is so slow.

Tony
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Laban:
I think you should try a 6.5.1 ROM since the 6.5.1 has more updated applications and looks fresher. Might be what you're looking for.
