[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
No, it does not mean that. It only means, that when the key is pressed, before the screen is turned on, the orientation is detected and screen refreshed.

There are several levels of sleep mode. Generally in sleep mode everything which can be turned off is turned off. If no application is working at the moment (all applications wait for input), even the CPU should be on standby.

GSM module is usually on.

But if some application is running, and you enter sleep mode, it is not really sleep mode, only screen is off. WM do not suspend running applications.

They can however close data connection and AFAIK HD2 is configured that way. But it can be changed in the registry, and on my X1 it is not like that (only WIFI is turned off). So for example if I run skype, and then 'sleep' the device, it runs, and it communicates, and it can eat battery in few hours.

Which applications runs and when, if the G-sensor is on, or if the lock screen is drawn and refreshed, it is really hard to tell. I guess some software for this might exist, but I don't know about it.
[HD2 General] Xeon:
Following your logic, It should come back in portrait mode if the device was sleeping and you hold it up vertically. So the fact that it wakes up in landscape mode means that the device was not in completely in standby when you did rotate it.
[HD2 General] asdadbz:
first the sleeping mode or 'turn off' mode i mean is pressing the 'hang up' buttom. The software is called Gryator 2

What I found was, when the phone is on, if I rotate the phone there is approx 1 sec delay. But if I rotate the screen in sleeping mode and then press any buttom few seconds later, the screen comes on instantly as normal and is in landscape. If it is as per you said, there woud be a 1 sec delay, woundn't it?

And also if listeniing to music, press the the 'hang up' bottom, the music stays. I had a XDAIIi, very old.. :p if press the on/off buttom, music won't stay. i had to just turn of the screen.

This make me wonder, what stays on, what gos off in the sleeping mode.

As HD2 does not have the true 'on/off' buttom like the XDA IIi where all the PDA application is literally turned off.....
[HD2 General] asdadbz:
yes, correct!! Vise versa, I tried both....
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
So it does start in landscape every time ? I guess I still don't get it ..
[HD2 General] madbird:
hi,

i use changescreen to rotate, and have the same isue. eg.

1. have the device in portrait and switch it of

2. then (screen is off) turn it to landscape for a while

3. after that turn it back to portrait and immediately turn on the screen

i see the screen in landscape and then after some delay turning to portrait. you can proof this by telling the program to delay the rotation for some sec., wich is my default setting. i used gsen, changescreen and gyrator (gsen only on my old advatage) and they all behave the same.

mad.
[HD2 General] asdadbz:
Basicly if you rotate the phone, there is a small delay for the screen to rotate. when you rotate the phone in sleep mode and wait 2 seconds then turn on the screen, it comes on instantly and is rotated already. This means the 'screen rotation' has been already done when it is on sleeping mode. Otherwise the screen should be on as what it was before and then rotate with the small delay.

So if the rotation program is working in sleeping mode, other programs could be working as well? !!!
[HD2 General] Archer:
It isn't really sleep mode. There is (as mentioned above) no suspended mode for WM.

Most running apps won't actually be doing anything though, because you're not making them do anything. Obviously, the usual form of user interaction is via the screen. In sleep mode, this isn't happening, so most apps will just sit there waiting. Anything that runs periodically, or reacts to other events (such as orientation changes) will still do what it does when the phone is not in sleep mode.

Basically, the screen is turned off. That's it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naofoxx:
*EDIT IN BOLD* I let my phone "charge," (it has no LED signals now when it charges) then took the battery out, pressed and held the menu button and placed the battery back in. The phone is now working and has booted up. I hope that helps anyone else that encounters this problem.

---original post:

I've done a search for this topic on several forums and tried several things, but at this point nothing is helping. This is my last shot at fixing this phone or getting something else entirely. Tmobile recommends replacing the phone.

My phone has been running slow for a few days, but today it started freaking out and flipping between screens or opening apps all by it's self. It locked up and nothing worked, not even powering down, so I removed the battery. When placed back in, the phone goes to the bootloader screen without even being turned on. None of the buttons are sticking, either, and the camera button appears to be fine, even clicking when pressed.

I did a a reset on it, wiping it and rebooting, but the phone goes straight back to the bootloader screen. I tried to plug it in to charge and start over, but it's not even charging. In fact the phone won't do anything when it's plugged in and when I take the battery out the bootloader screen stays as long as it's plugged in.

The screen currently says:

DREA100 PVT 32B

HBOOT-0.95.0000

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

Sept 2 2008

If it's plugged in, it will sit at this screen and do nothing, but if it's not a white bar crosses the screen stating:

"Serial0"

When it turns back on, I press and hold the menu from the bootloader screen I see the words:

Loading

No image found

I'm not sure what to do with it at this point, other than a nice paperweight.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naofoxx:
Well, I was completely wrong about the "fix." It seems the phone does indeed load, but the arrow key and power key do not work at all. I have to use the home button, the phone is slow, and it flips through different screens on it's own. When I finally do power down, it goes back to the bootloader.

Also, the phone is running hot and staying hot. It loses it charge super fast, maybe because it won't stay idle.

I'm thinking I'll have to contact tmo at this point. D:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rey424:
and what are you going to tell them?????? i was rooting my phone and now i have black screen????????
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoelOFH:
If you do (which you should not), don't tell them you were rooting it. That's a get-out-of-warranty-free card.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carnegie0107:
Another one??

Seriously? Another junior member starting another question thread in the development section?

It sounds like hardware issue with your phone, to be honest. I mean, get to recovery (if you can) do a total wipe, and reformat your sdcard, then flash your rom again. (I'm guessing you ARE rooted and running a custom rom?) If that does nothing, yeah, see if you can send it back to tmo.

And.... dude? This forum is NOT for questions. It's for contributing to Android development on the HTC Dream. Hence... Dream Android Development. You're not doing any development, so don't start a thread here! Sorry to take it out on you, but there's been a flood of these lately. Questions go in the forum called Dream Q&A (HINT: The "Q" stands for Question), Android development goes in Dream Android development. See how nifty that is?

MOD EDIT - Moved to Q&A Forum
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
lol you should just have it replaced. this could mean more problems down the road
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naofoxx:
Actually, no, I never rooted and never planned on it. Because I don't know what to do, nor do I desire to mess up my phone by doing something I don't fully comprehend. Rooting serves no purpose for me, and I like how it looks so why go for a custom mod?

These problems just started up on there own, which I was told by tmo it was a hardware issue, but by a friend that it was software related. This is the 4th phone that has bugged out on me since I've had tmobile and honestly I'm disappointed with it and their service. I didn't want to wait for warranty AGAIN. But I guess I have to.

Nothing seems to fix the phone, it no longer charges or goes into safe mode, so it may just be dead.

As for posting it in the wrong place, that was my fault and I'm sorry, lol. No worries for the yelling, it got moved anyway, and thanks.

And I'm not a dude. I'm a chick.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naofoxx:
Guess I should state, I was here to see if I could fix it before I go to tmo, because if I get another refurb that quits working after 2 months I'll be leaving them for good.

I guess we can consider this closed, because if my friend can't help me, I'll be in the stores checking out Sprint and Verizon's new androids. Or stick with tmo and check out the Cliq. I'm not happy with HTC or their products and I rushed into buying the g1 for the mytouch to come out 1 week later. So, lesson learned.

And thanks for the replies.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyFoxx:
LOL! You phail... If you have an issue with HTC phones, perhaps this phone is more up your alley. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UWuhkLMS00k/SsTb87QXjKI/AAAAAAAAAdw/N9thWXu30nc/s320/phone.jpg
[HTC Excalibur] mtranda:
Ok, this is just plain frustrating and I have no clue about what to do.

The lifetime on my phone is dropping ridiculously fast. I replaced the original batery (that used to get ran down pretty quickly, about half a day, without using the phone much) with a spare battery a friend gave me (it's from a different model, but a minor modification it fit perfectly. For a while, it worked somewhat more decently (although should I have used the phone, I'd lose about 1% for every 30-45 seconds of usage). But for a couple of days, it started wearing down a lot quicker as well.

For instance, just charging the phone and then leaving it without actually touching it on the desk will leave it at 88% battery life within about 30 minutes.

I've checked the processes to see if there's anything out of the ordinary, but everything seems fine. I'm thinking maybe the battery may have gotten damaged in the meantime since it wasn't the designated model for this phone, but I'm having serious doubts.

Also, I've ordered a new battery which should ship any day now. Hopefully it will solve the issue, although I'm considering getting a new phone.

Any ideas?

Also, the old Asus that I used to have (WM 6.0, standard keyboard) still has an amazing battery life, at least compared to the HTC (it can do about 3-4 days in standby, and 2 days with normal usage. Also, it's able to run for 12 hours while playing music and occasional web browsing. I can barely squeeze two hours of usage from my HTC)
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
Maybe you should get a new and proper battery to your device, maybe your fix does not work anymore. Also you can damage the excalibur motherboard if your messing with different volts from batteries design for other phones.
[HTC Excalibur] mtranda:
Well, the battery voltage is the same. So is the pin layout (well, that was pretty self implied). Both batteries are manufactured for HTC phones.

I guess I'll find out when my new battery arrives. However, my phone has been acting weirder and weirder. SD card issues, now the battery... And on top of that, I wonder if the two issues are related.

Edit: also, will the charger output make much of a difference? Say I use a 500 mA charger or a 1000 mA one.
[HTC Excalibur] mtranda:
Issue solved. Apparently it was from the SDHC patch I had installed a few days before. Removing the patch did not solve the issue (also, the patch disabled my WIFI) so I proceeded to reinstall WM on my phone. Now it runs fine, with regular battery drain.

I think the patch may have not allowed the CPU to enter idle mode. I can't think of any other explanation.
[HTC Excalibur] suplex57:
nah its definitely ur battery. i had the same problem, its that ur battert has degraded and it has become unable to withstand its charge. just call ur phone carrier and tell them. the should send u a free battery.

Source

-experience lol
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
I know some HTC batteries are the same voltage, but why do you think they make different ones especifically for every model eventhough they have the same voltage:rolleyes:.

Just to let you know and regarding the output charger; I did a little experiment once, with motorola chargers (V3) since you can charge your dash with them but I tried to charge the exact phone (motorola) with the original HTC output charger.....and it didn't charge at all.

After months of using the motorola charger I started to realize my battery was not working well in my excalibur and in a period of 4 months my battery didn't hold a charge for more than 3 hours:eek:. I bought a new one and I strictly used the orginal HTC charger.

My battery is 9 months old now and works like charm (2 days + hours) with the latest ookba 3vo rom.

Thanks for the splashes... i have allready thought i needed the stock ones if i'm about to flash in the s-off spl and some custom boot screens:) thanks again...

Are you thinking of creating some screens that would show like "hero" but underneeth it would say hacked or something like that:P

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CitizenLee:
Are these just the files or can I rename as update.zip and flash like I would any other update?

I'm really keen to get rid of the T-Mobile splash screen!

Cheers ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lusephur:
hmmm, no i doubt renaming as update.zip would ever work (There's a bit more to it than just naming a file to be honest)

to change your bootscreen (the t-mobile splash you mention) you will need to root your phone, and then put the spl released on nov 24th onto your phone (it's a sticky)

and use the fast boot program to send the required file to your phone in the rgb565 file format.

there is a how to on modaco with some custom bootsplash screens -- with a few submitted by me i might add

check here (if you're a member, otherwise look for the thread "Custom Splash & Boot Screens for the Hero " in the htc hero thread in the android forum
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] markspark100:
Exactly what lusephur said but for some reason Agent-5 who started to topic he linked to over at MoDaCo seems to have deleted all his posts but you can find out how to do it here although this is for a Dream not a Hero...to reboot into bootloader on the hero it is back and power when switching on.

Err... yeah sure I can give it a go but I warn you I am really bad when it comes to graphics lol so if anyone else wants to create one but not sure on how to make it RGB565 post it and I can convert it.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] lindarne:
Just saw this and fell in love.

They say it's to rid the world of the concept of a main menu, but in my opinion it is a main menu. and one of the sexiest one's at that.

It's single colour gradients and flow is everything i like in an interface, while others put more colours and ever more elaborate icons in gridformations, this one is so much more beautyfull for it's simplicity.

http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/emblazes-first-else-unveiled-in-london-promises-to-be-a-game-c/

http://www.firstelse.com/

Now my question is:

Is there any posible way to simulate this menu on WM? i'm using pointui on both my Omnia and X1 and it is for me the best ui.

But i've also tried the demo of Silvermoon, and my phone definately has the potential for graphics like "Else".

Or am i too late with this post already?

Is there already something lige this for WM phones?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] twolf:
It probably can be re-created in flash, but I wouldnt use it myself... no icons, not easy to understand, you'd have to be able to read letters rotated in different agles...

Dont get me wrong, its fresh and has some eye-candy but on the long run I dont see the potencial in it.

:/
[Windows Mobile Software Development] burnes:
I really like the whole UI - not just the fan menu.

Also I like that 'caller will be asked to press * if urgent or # to hang up'.

Looks like some really good features. Doubt we will get anything that looks that good throughout on WM though :(

I just tried to load HoFo 307 for 32a. I booted to recovery and wiped the phone and partitioned the sd. I go to apply update.zip and it said error, no such file or directory. I tried to used the nandroid backup and it said run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb. Any help is appreciated. Newb post sorry.

[edit] I recently had a problem with my rogers magic 32A device. I was putting on a new ROM and deleted the update.zip by formatting the sdcard at the wrong time. I can get into fastboot mode but have never used the adb that I installed a while ago. I was wondering if you could show me how to access the device and put my update.zip on there.

hi

As soon as i make a phone call my screen goes off, now on my iphone it used to do this only when the light sensor was covered. to bringthe screen back on I have to press one of the black buttons in the bottom of the phone, is this a fault?
[HD2 General] ardsar:
I had this problem after fitting a screen protector. removing it solved the issue for me.
[HD2 General] richardirv:
The genuine HTC Screen protectors have 2 holes in for the sensors. I can confirm this does not affect the screen when making a call.

Are you using a screen protector which doesn't have a hole for the proximity sensor etc?

It may be it can't function right as it maybe seeing the protector as something close to the sensor, hence why the screen goes off.

I've been looking all over the place for a cab that I can install into my x1a (original canada rogers ROM) that'd enable me to read chinese. I'm not interested at this point in time to install a Chinese ROM. I've tried CEstar. i didn't like it. I'm hoping that someone would be gracious enough to either make a CAB that would allow me to read chinese w/my x1a. or even just to point me to some specific CABs that would allow me to read chinese.

Also, I was wondering if anyone can give me an update about the offical WM 6.5 updte for the x1a. I'm highly interested in getting the official update more than the custom upgrade.
