Storage Card Issue Perhaps

Assuming a Hard Reset doesn't fix this, I have another suggestion. Back everything up as previously suggested. If you have a Storage Card in the phone, pull it out and re-boot. If you've installe dprograms to the card you'll get some error messages - don't worry, they will disappear if the card is good and you decie to put it back in again.

I've had several cards become subtly corrupted over the years of using WinMo Phones. They can often cause this kind of maddening problems with no apparent solution.

If the card is bad, try to copy off all the files onto your computer. Then re-format it. Do this in the phone if it can (don't know about the Rhodium on this) or on your computer using an adapter. Then put back the data files and CAB files for the software you want to install again. Put it back in your phone and boot. If everythig's now ok, go ahead an dinstall the CABs.

If the Card is still wonky after re-formatiing, try going to the Manufacturer's website for help. I had a 16 Mb Sandisk microSD fail in my Fuze and after a couple of emails suggesting I thry to diagnose the card using varioous utilities, Sandisk concluded it was faulty, sent me a new one and a pre-paid return mailer. No problems after that. You can't beat that kind of service.

Best of Luck!

I had similar problem like yours. I've just taken sdcard out and now it seems phone is not freezing. Sdcard was previously used in Nokia phone for a while. Suppose it's not new type, that's why phone was freezing, i presume. Hope i will not have such problem again, because it ****ing irritating...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MadSci:
sounds familiar

I have also had this problem when I swap cards from one phone to another. even contemporanious phones from the same manufacturer. It's o tempting to do it, but I've come to think it's better to copy everything off of the card, reformat it, then load things back up. might just be coincidence, but it does seem to produce less problems.

Nice to know I'm not the only one :o

Cheers!

Installed this update yesterday from HTC. Phone seems to be working better, even with S2U2 options enabled... I'll report back with any lock-ups if they happen.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] acyv:
Which update?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] wrsg:
is it likely that the htc magic (vodafone UK) will get an update to Eclair? i know networks are usually not interested in a phone about 1-2 years after its release, hopefully things will be different with android and they will take an example from the iphone which is still getting updated, and not follow what they did with WM6.5 not being released for devices with capable hardware. otherwise having a single platform multiple device strategy may turn out to be androids weak point. people expect more these days thanks to apple, hopefully some networks will realise they can't get away with laziness.

i dont have a current preference between iphone and android, i think they are both equally weak, i believe WM is still better than both function-wise. maybe not as nice-looking and finger friendly yet, but there are too many things i can't do on android/iphone that i can do easily on WM. android has the most potential though i think.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rob_h:
I guess that if it isn't official then you'll be able to get an update from here.

Can't agree with the WM is better than Android statement. IMO Android is far, far ahead of WM and that is coming from a big WM fan who has had the HTC Prophet, Exec, Tytn II and Xperia and with all of the handsets the problem has always been the OS.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ghaywood:
I agree, I went from a HTC Touch to a HTC Magic and Android is far and way superior to WM.

Most apps can be found in the market to do whatever you want.

Games are better on the iPhone though ...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] phatmanxxl:
WinMo? lol every time I pick up my dash or my daughters shadow its like going back from windows xp to windows 98. Android is far superior to winmo and way more stable, Ive gone through pleny of win phones going back 5 years. I can't imagine going back, android spoiled me, no more missed calls and battery pulls :D.

btw, what can WM do that Android can't?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Anartic:
I'm mostly sure the magic should get the eclair update, but it really all comes down to your carrier, if vodafone wants to, they'll push out the update and about devices that will stop getting updates, that'll probably happen with android.

Since android is spreading out onto a lot of devices, you'll eventually have obsolete android devices.

The reason the iphone is still being updated is because it's the only one of its kind, and when i say that i mean apple only has to concentrate on one phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smurf:
if i am not mistaken the magic is just about half a year old. so if 2.0 comes this or next year i am pretty sure some provider throws an update over the air to the magic...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] wrsg:
i didnt want this to turn into a WM v android fight because i am a fanboy of neither (no time for fanboyism), i just want a good stable functional phone, and neither are there yet. WM is the furthest, but yes i am sure android will overtake very soon.

but since you ask:

fully free-to-use version of skype on 3, which actually *works* unlike the shoddy android version. (there used to an iskoot client for android, dont know why it disappeared???)

decent phone-based version of tomtom.

decent voice activation, have not really tried androids because i like the wm version so much.

straightforward tethering with activesync (tried htc sync, and it did not even load up, will have to try it again for my magic, not looking forward to it though)

built-in office

use of the stylus is still (and probably always will be) more accurate than the capacitive screen + finger.

in the end, what phone you prefer is subjective, as everyones needs are different. technically android may be slightly superior but i wouldnt need to keep a WM phone if there werent gaps in functionality, but i am in favour of the whole linux philosophy, and for that reason probably would have dumped WM earlier if not for the reasons i have mentioned. obviously there is a lot of suck there, but i can just about live with it until android is definitely in the lead as far as functions and usability is concerned

sadly i feel youre right about the obsolesence, and yes that is the iphones great strength. remains to be seen what will turn out the superior platform in future. apple must have realised what a threat android is by now, and i doubt they will leave the iphone in its current ****ty state. competition is good for us in the end. clearly, begun, the phone wars have.
[Imagio General] akomecr:
Hi! I bought my Imagio from verizon I unlocked it, but it doesn't recieve any GSM signal, the settings are on GSM/UMTS anyone has an idea how to resolve a problem... By the way is anyway to cook this?
[Imagio General] bastukee:
I need to unlock my phone before I travel in a few days, how did you unlock your phone?
[Imagio General] Kebero:
Do you have a working SIM card from AT&T or T-Mobile in the SIM slot?

Call VZW and ask.
[Imagio General] akomecr:
On ebay it's a ton of services about whitestone unlock, and my problem was an issue on the operating band of GSM for example in the USA you must use 950/1900 on other countries like Costa Rica you need 1800, thanks to all for your help
[Imagio General] fwaits:
You should be able to contact VZW and have them unlock it so you can use whatever carrier SIM you have for the country/area you are in. The stock SIM is Vodaphone and I think will only work where Vodaphone service exists. Otherwise make sure the phone is in Global and not CDMA only. Go to the Settings Tab, click Menu then select Phone Network Mode select Network tab.
[Imagio General] devlspawn:
I called verizon and they gave me codes to unlock both my phones. I slapped an ATT sim into my imagio and it was working on the ATT network, no problem at all.
[Imagio General] haris3:
Hi, where do you enter the sim unlock code on Imagio?

Thanks.
[Imagio General] jjttnn:
I just got off the phone with Verizon in regard to this.

Below is what I found. The Global Verizon Rep will be happier if you enter the code while you are on the phone with them; they want to verify that it works. It actually took about 10 minutes.

Here is what I found: http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/htc-imagio/138569-how-unlock-verizon-imagio-sim-card.html

If you are going to be traveling abroad or simply want your Imagio to be unlocked its very easy to do and should only take about 3-5 minutes on the phone with Verizon.

Call 1(800)-711-8300 from a different phone, enter your Verizon phone number, then select option 2.

Tell them that you will be traveling abroad and plan to just buy a pre-paid SIM card when you get there, and that you simply need the unlock code for your phone. They will check your account standings, and then give you an 8 digit code.

You need to enter the code in the security section of your phone.

With TF3D...

Start>Settings> All Settings> Personal> Security

Without TF3D Enabled...

Start> Settings> Personal> Security

One you do this, soft reset your phone and you are all done. I can take my work phones SIM card (AT&T), put it in my Imagio, and use my Imagio for work now. I did not test the data yet because I do not have data on my AT&T plan. Although if anyone does this and wants to check it, keep in mind you will have to change the number for the data line. both Sprint and Verizon use #777. I am not sure what AT&T or TMobile use.
[Imagio General] Greatdane:
I have an Imagio from VERIZON.

I had unlocked the GSM network, Should I Unlock the CDMA network as well if I want to use the CDMA Net work?

or I jus need 1 unlock code for both GSM and CDMA?

So, I will have 2 no. in 1 phone one is injected, and another one is using sim card.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this fricken phone to play nice with other email accounts than gmail???!!

I mainly use my yahoo account and it sometimes like to sync, sometimes like to notify the same email over and over again as new, sometimes like to undelete emails again...

Is it just trying to make me use gmail...*ugh*...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] blacksparro:
It's a problem. I just forward all my other e-mails to my gmail account and have a filter that every e-mail coming from my other account is denoted by a different folder. I've also set up Gmail to let me send e-mails out via my other accounts. All e-mails still get pushed really fast. It works really nicely and all my e-mail is in one place and with folders they can be in separate places if I need it to be. And nothing beats Gmail's search function so that's a bonus.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] archboy69:
Thanks!

I'll give it a try. So I'm using gmail afterall. LOL

Anything is better than what it is. Its driving me nuts!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zeotrope:
I just wanted to let everyone know who uses a Rogers phone and has the timestamp issue (on Sense UI), before the applicated smsfixtimes in the market only fixed previously received messages and left the new ones still with the wrong timestamp.

it has been updated and now works!!! so you can finally read conversations normally in the messaging application on a Sense UI rom on the rogers network
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bradasmith:
Rogers time stamp

Specifically which ROM are you referring to?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] enek:
I think he's saying that you install the "smsfixtimes" app from the market and it will fix it on any ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] enek:
I just installed it on the MyHero ROM. I'm using Chomp and all timestamps are working now. The auto configuration didn't work, I had to manually figure out how many hours to adjust the time.

In Chomp SMS the incoming time is correct. It works while Chomp is running or not. Notifications show right time, conversations list shows right time and long press message shows right time. Incoming and outgoing messages are all good.

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NguyenHuu:
no, he is saying that the smstimefix app was the old method of fixing ya times. but a new real fix is out. maybe rogers pushed a fix?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] briggs81:
Pretty sure he is saying that the app has been updated and now works for the rogers phones.

Rogers already fixed the time stamp on their own rom... not sense ui ones.. since they don't have it.

Or we could just all test the app and see for ourselves :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zeotrope:
im saying that if you have a magic phone on the rogers network, the updated smsfixtimes finally fixes the issue of having messages with a timestamp of 4-5 hours earlier. the automatic setting doesnt work, you have to do it manually.

ive only had the timestamp issue with sense UI roms. myhero, hofo, etc.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zeotrope:
i would use chomp but on senseUI (hofo) the pretty facebook pictures don't show when i click 'show contact display pictures'

so im using the stock messaging app
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TuRDMaN:
I prefer and use Handcent SMS. A lot better than Chomp IMHO, and it shows the pretty facebook pictures!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] computerdan:
I cannot get smsfixtimes to work for me. I unistalled it and reinstalled it as well to no avail. Messages are always coming in 5 hours earlier. Am I doing something wrong?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zeotrope:
did you set the time to +5 instead of 'Automatic' ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gwydionwaters:
so this is good that it works, but it's not really fixed. is there a way to fix it properly? it doesn't work if messaging is open and it doesn't work in the notification text, like on the lock screen for example
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mydewji13:
what did rogers do to patch it in their update? Is there anyway that can be ported to a senseui rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
You have to set it to 5+ when you first install smsfixtimes or it won't work at all.

IMO smsfixtimes is the PERMANENT fix.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mydewji13:
thats bull****...smsfixtimes is a workaround/hack... it doesn't fix the notifications etc...

Rogers released an update that fixed the sms times (w/out smsfixtimes...)...fixes the notifications and everything...

What exactly did they change? ...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Howler62:
Rogers fixed the other timestamp problem where non - EST people across canada got thier messages in EST.. this timestamp is sense rom related so they wont fix it.. if you dont use these roms there is no problem to fix.. was waiting for rogers to get the official sense RUU like taiwan etc.. but not here yet
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mydewji13:
I understand that rogers wont fix it.... but there has to be a way to 'port' their fix over to a senseui rom.... the question is what 'exactly' changed between the original rom and the updated rogers rom...

Also, does anyone have dumps of the original rom AND the updated rom (I can only find the one with the timestamp issue.) I would like to poke around and see if I can do anything. (Although unlikely seeing as I haven't ever modded a rom...anyone have any good links for beginner rom development on a linux box?)
[HD2 General] Bakzoom:
Hi everyone. I am sure there are serveral threads already on here in which people have asked about the new HD2 and AT&T's 3G signal. I searched around and found tidbits of information here and there so I thought I'd start a new thread and ask some questions that some of us AT&T users here in the states have.

I purchased a Touch HD (T8285) from an Australian seller not too long ago that was branded with the Telstra logo on it and it worked with my AT&T 3G signal here in the US near the Washington DC area.

My question to everyone is, is there a Telstra version of the HD2 currently available that will also work with the AT&T 3G signal? I see that there are a bunch of vendors in the UK that are selling this phone and I believe they won't work with our 3G signal here but is there an Australian one that will?

If so, where can someone buy or preorder it from? Any help is VERY MUCH appreciated.
[HD2 General] lude219:
That's the answers we're waiting for (the other being that whether it'll come to AT&T at all).
[HD2 General] Bakzoom:
Well any news is good news. Unfortunately we don't have any at this time. I read somewhere that Telstra is currently testing this phone on their Next G network and is hoping to have it Q1 of 2010 which is the same timeframe as when T-Mobile is going to get it. I can't wait that long.
[HD2 General] Darkriderdesign:
I Live in the US - Could not Wait Bought HD2 Euro Version - WOW

Couldn't wait until Q1-Q4 of 2010... The phone is unbelievably fast:eek:. So fast that being on a Slow EDGE connection speed and toggling to WiFi is almost not noticeable? Windows 6.5 runs really nice, there is absolutely no lag(AT ALL). A Running talley of open applications without lag is 40 apps. Big hitters like you-Tub, GoogleMaps, Acrobat, Opera, MorphGear, TCMP player, IE, TombRaider 3d. Digital Compass, Mobile Market Place, Remote Desktop, Bing... they just all run and the phone is super snappy? I have not had the phone crash or had to reset because of the Windows Mobile 6.5 OS freezing up, WHICH IS A WINMO FIRST...

Coming from the Resistive Touch HD screen, I think my only complaint so far is actually the Capacitive touch screen... It takes a second to get used to this. It's not bad but I find myself having to do things a few times...Dude typing with the onscreen keyboard is little hard because of the multiple touch input... Using your finger as apposed to a stylus is a big change...the HD2 doesn't have a stylus so, it's sort of a trial by fire...

Over all the device is crazy awesome, and It will definitely be the Gadget of the Year If it hits US 3G?
[HD2 General] bersca:
There is already a thread on this topic. I am waiting for the Telstra version myself. Interestingly, Telstra has a website. Yeah, who knew? Anyway, they are an amazing resource on which phones are available to Telstra subscribers.;)
[HD2 General] jeffrose18:
Ok. I have I answer to where you can get the Austrailian HD2 that runs 3G on AT&T. Email support@addictedtophones.com as they will have this week. Ask for Kevin and say Jeff gave me info and it's yours at the best price anywhere. For real!
[HD2 General] harolds:
They've been available on eBay for a while now. Just make sure you get the right one.
[HD2 General] praym:
htc hd2 telstra works on att 3g

yes the Australian one will work properly. there are some videos demonstrating htc hd2 telstra working in the att 3g network. search them in google to believe. i have t-mobile htc hd2 but still could not find the solution

I admit i might have dropped my phone in a pool of beer, and i'm somewhat lucky that it survived - but the Green pick up button is dead.

I'm trying to install MyHero 2.0.4 but when using my recovery.img, the only way to apply the update is by pressing the Green pickup button, all other buttons abort the update.

So do any of you guys know a way to perform a rom update, that dosn't involve the Green pick up button?

Update

I got the newer RA-magic-v1.2.3 recovery img thats using the home button instead..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] blackvyper:
When using the Recovery Flasher it asks you to confirm wipe/reset ect by pushing the green pick up (call button). I have not tried it but maybe you can press the trackball instead.. it's a shot in the dark but it's all I have right now.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] confusedxx:
I am using PCarvalho build of WM6.5 on my Touch Cruise (Polaris). It does not have a built in data usage counter but I would like to install one.

Can you recommend a good 3rd party app to install so I do not run over the limit I have?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] thanito:
try the spb wireless monitor,i think its the best one around..it shows which app uses data,has chart,daily-weekly-monthly counting,etc

If you want a free program I recommend BatteryStatus. It also does many other useful stuff

dont think battery status works properly with wm6.5 though..
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kmartburrito:
Alright, this is a strange one. I'm wondering if anyone else can confirm this, although I bet few have probably noticed it.

I normally update my installed apps by going to the Market app and selecting "My Downloads." Often times I'll see "update available" and then I install the update, which wipes out the previous version.

Last week, I found an app called aTrackDog, which basically is a version tracker for your apps. It goes out and finds new versions and notifies you, so you can go download your updates. It not only follows the market, but also the app developer's homepage, in case they release their update through different mediums. I don't use it to install or uninstall, just track my versions.

This is when I started paying attention to the version numbers of a few apps. For this example, we'll talk about Advanced Task Manager and Pandora. I updated ATM from 3.5 to 3.6, and Pandora from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0. To do this, since the market didn't say there was an update, I uninstalled each app, and then reinstalled from the market. Everything was great, and each app showed its new version, from the splash screen on Pandora, to how ATM was listed in Task Panel, as version 3.6.

I just rebooted my phone because I was getting the 99% uptime thing, and wanted to mess around with killing the messages task to see if that made a difference. Much to my surprise, when my phone restarted, my phone has reverted many of my apps back to older versions.

My Advanced Task Manager now is back to version 3.5, Pandora is back to 1.0.0, and many other apps are affected.

This seems like a MAJOR BUG. Can anyone else confirm this at all?

To recreate this issue, if you have Pandora version 1.0.0 currently, or 1.1.0, uninstall and reinstall it. You then will have version 1.1.1 I believe. Then reboot your phone, and start Pandora back up. Does it still say 1.1.1?

I have found this also happens with Advanced Task Manager, and Mileage. I'm sure there's others, but those are a couple of examples. This has happened to me at least twice that I'm aware of.

EDIT-- Here's three links on other Android forums where someone else is experiencing this same thing.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jakeblues55:
I've noticed this too. I've really noticed it with NewsRob because it will pop up a message stating " A new version is available", but the Market knows what I downloaded last so it states that there is no update. I was wondering, since I too had Atrackdog installed (not anymore) if it was an issue with that program, maybe an issue with just what version was listed in certain programs (as in some piece of code to display the version number got messed up) or if there really was automatic downgrading going on...
