Hard-reset will be best option and can be done blind since it's button sequence as known then green key, i knopw that peeps have done it blind and with you spending enough time it will be sorted... The other option is bootloader and flash your stock ROM as won't get an error 270 ;)
[HTC Excalibur] RedDot69:
thanks for the fast reply.

ok about the hard reset.

I hold both buttons beside green and red button then while holding i turn on the phone (power button more then 3 sec.) after it turned on i let go of the buttons and press the green button (I pressed it a several times). What after that?? will everything happen automatically??

if yes then the hard reset wont help since its still white...

unfortunately I dont have the original ROM anymore (WM5).

Do you know where I can get it??
[HTC Excalibur] RedDot69:
Ok I guess I managed to hard reset this thing.

Unfortunately with no success :(

can anyone help?

will the problem be gone if I change the display?
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
Can you sync with your PC? That's something that you haven't state in your original post.
[HTC Excalibur] ccpraveen:
From what you have posted in the first post, looks to me like your phone has suffered water/moisture damage. Classic white screen, nothing shows, display turns off after default timeout seconds, phone functions smoothly. For this to occur, you dont have to dunk the phone in water, phone in pocket when exposed to light rain, snow will do it.

If this is the case, the first thing you can do to salvage the phone is to remove the battery, otherwise the charge will short circuit more, leading to irreparable damage.

Second thing, try and keep it open for 24 hours or more and try ONCE more, just once, if the moisture has been evaporated. If not, remove battery again.

Next you will need to find a service center where they will dismantle the phone and physically air dry the PCB, and hopefully if it hasnt already shorted, it will come back to life.

The cost for this could vary from minimal to astronomical, depending upon which country you are in.

Do not take my words for granted, do a google for phone water damage, find out if those are your exact symptoms.

All the best.
[HTC Excalibur] RedDot69:
yes I can. I already saved the contact list :) The phone is perfectly working beside the white display...

@ ccpraveen

I really dont think thats the case. Since I was sleeping on the couch, the phone's alarm went of like at 11 and it was all ok, then 30 min later the screen was all white :mad:

And the night before I left the phone at home...

Bringing the phone to some service center is out of question, since I live in Germany... If possible, I'd have to repair it my self...

By the way the Display time out works too... Somehow I got the feeling that it wouldnt use me anything to change the display :rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] RedDot69:
please, can no one help :(
[HTC Excalibur] ducamie:
install this on your computer http://www.mymobiler.com/

it will silently install on your s620 when it syncs with activesync and you will be able to view your screen from your computer monitor :)

if everything works buy a new lcd from ebay and replace it because its probably broken
[HTC Excalibur] RedDot69:
--- sorry didnt want to post ---

Please skip this reply and read the next (cant delete this anymore)
[HTC Excalibur] RedDot69:
thanks a lot for the very usefull link :) :) :)

I installed the programm and I can see my display on my monitor :)

Then I hard reseted the phone

Installed WM6.5 from the forum successfully

But the display is still all white :mad: :(

If anybody thinks that the problems any way not from the display please do tell.
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
My impression is that you have a hardware problem, maybe your screen has something loose. If you state that you will fix it by yourself, you can read the sticky on how to take apart your dash.
[HTC Excalibur] uccellino:
There are also power management settings that will turn the display white, however if it is white all the time, then it's probably hardware. Loose connections does sound possible. I'd check that first ;)
[HTC Excalibur] kholk:
You can try the following:

*- COMPLETELY disassemble your phone.

*- Take the PCBs apart on a table or something.

Then... take an hairdryer!!!

You have to dry your PCBs: take a PCB in your hand and do the work.

Be aware of not using TOO HOT air, or you'll melt all.

If it doesn't work, try to dry your LCD.

Doesn't work?

Okay, then the only 2 possible fixes are:

*- Replace the LCD Flex Cable if not integrated in the LCD.

*- Replace the LCD.

Hope that you'll get your phone fixed and running :)

Has anybody gotten this to work on CDMA Hero's???

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] WhiteWidows:
1.6 only....we are on 1.5. Not going to happen.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jonnythan:
As noted, requires 1.6+.

We will be getting 2.0 eventually, probably a few months from now. Keep your fingers crossed.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] 5tr4t4:
Why are we waiting?

This is not how open source is supposed to work. We're not birds in a nest waiting for a worm. We don't wait for them, they have to keep up with us.

IMHO we should put aside the idea of holding out for Sprint, months or even weeks for 2.0 is WAY too long in 2009. The code is up (all of it now?), the SDK is up. Let's build it!

This, to me, is one of the most disturbing trends in Android, each manufacturer providing tweaks or proprietary GUI's that put them in control of the development cycle. In my humble opinion we need to get past that as soon as humanly possible. If that means ditching Rosie and Blur, so be it.

Today we wait for Google Nav, tomorrow we'll wait for security updates bugs, optimizations, and most importantly cool developer tweaks. Hell, we waited 6 weeks for the piddly MR update that fixed problems that should have been solved before the phone left the store.

Can someone with more intimate knowledge of Android (I'm studying it now myself so I can help) say something about how to get to a clean, universal Android ROM? I'm happy to help however I can.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sm_x:
I can't agree with you more. When I transfered to the android platform I was under the assumption that what u said supposed to happen was the case.

However I hear it's very difficult to build a 2.0 for hero.

You see the "drivers" that are in the hero right now will not work on 2.0. If you build the provided open source 2.0 rom, you will get an OS with no tie to the hardware. a map with gps a phone with no radio and a browser with no wifi. which will be useless to any one.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] 5tr4t4:
Uha, I know. The Linux guys warned us years ago about allowing proprietary drivers in Linux (see the old NVIDIA debate, for instance). So you have a kernel that can't talk to the hardware until manufacturer X says it can.

And so we wait for HTC or Qualcomm or whomever to release their drivers.

Sorry for the rant (and thanks for the solidarity, sm-x), this Google Nav thing just set me off. The hack-a-day progress on XDA is really wonderful but we should have real access to the code so we can make it better, not just reverse engineering...I can do that on my iPhone/iPod.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kRutOn:
2.0 is out of the question without the binaries from HTC, but 1.6 should be doable with the 1.5 bits. It'd take someone with a lot of time and dedication, though.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] minorsecond:
How about tricking the rom into showing itself as 1.6? Not sure what all that would entail tho
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bwshockley:
I also agree with this. I wrote up a little article about it:

[HD2 General] RiiiDD:
Hello;

i feel my hd 2 screen is not accurate, when i have a drop down list to click on it s quite hard to click on the down arrow. Is there any tips to make the screen more accurate ?

Furthermore, my today screen is made by orange and it suck : beetwen the clock and the down bar i have 3 useless big icones, how could i change em ?

Thanks a lot :D
[HD2 General] Roar:
Slide upwards from that icon's

Then you get a menu where you can remove links.

Hit "done"

Than you can change the empty link in something useful just by pressing it when you see a + in the icon.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shankara:
I post this question in another thread but I think this is the best place to post it. Sorry for the duplicate.

My question is; how can I remove system applications that I don't use/want?. applications like Amazon mp3, stocks, twitter, plurk, footprints, etc. seems to take memory from my phone and are always active yet I never use them.

Is there a way to remove them or at least prevent them to run in the background?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] charkosh:
Root your phone

Go to market

Get a terminal emulator

type:

su

mount -o rw,remount /system/

rm /system/app/[appname.apk]

e.g.

rm /system/app/com.amazon.mp3.apk
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shankara:
Thank you very much!!

I used ESFile Explorer enabling root and I was able to remove the apks using the GUI.

Thanks for your help.

I think everyone not using these application should remove them because it consumes valuable resources on the phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] redbean06:
Can someone put this in English or in a way that a 5 year old can understand? root? apks? please give a simple way to get rid of plurk,stocks etc
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] betelgeuse74:
You need to search and read, especially the sticky threads in the different forum categories.

There are very good tutorials and wikis that will answer all your questions.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] KAwAtA:
In my opinion, one of the most basic ways is to just grab titanium backup and have it do it for you. Probably will need root though

Just bought my unlock telus Hero from Import GSM, recieved it today.

I am trying to change/add the APN setting to be used on ATT 3G.

When I go into the APN name, nothing happens. cant add, cant edit.

It just says "APN"

[G1 Apps and Games] sonikamd:
I've notived I'm running 3.2.0 which has voice nav, is 3.2.1 basically this the same thing or does the .1 mean voice nav is disabled? A few of the comments in the market state it doesn't have vn but you know how the marketeers go..

Any one try the one from the market yet?
[G1 Apps and Games] mightykc:
Yes the comments in the Market indicate the update include GPS Navigation however the installation is unsuccessful when trying to update.
[G1 Apps and Games] NPS_CA:
Working for me...

I'm coming from CM4.25 on a G1

Had 3.2.0 installed and working fine for voice nav (using the only change to build.trout.prop: ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.0/ESD20/17572:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys)

Voice nav works for me no issues on the upgrade to 3.2.1. No issues doing the upgrade through market - maybe just market general flakiness.

Did you guys install 3.2.0 or force the APK to the system directories?
[G1 Apps and Games] mightykc:
I forced mine. Maybe thats the issue.
[G1 Apps and Games] sonikamd:
Mine came stock in dwangs 1.13 rom. Guess I'll give updating a whirl and see how it goes..
[G1 Apps and Games] NPS_CA:
Remove all presence of the existing maps (e.g. like how you uninstall pre-3.2.0) then market should allow an ok install then... You can lookup in the forums how to do that.

Basically mount system as rw and removes any traces of Maps.apk or com.google.android.apps.maps.apk

Not working in Cyanogen 4.2.5

I'm running the CyanogenMod 4.2.5 on a myTouch and I keep the installation keeps ending up "unsuccessful". My error says "Installation Error - Package file was not signed correctly".
[G1 Apps and Games] jay652:
The market install worked for me, too; though I'm currently indoors and thus unable to get a GPS signal.

A few questions about Google Nav in general:

In the official Google video (http://www.google.com/mobile/navigation/index.html#p=default), there seems to be a Street View option, particularly around turns (visible around 5:40). Yet, when using Nav (at least before the Market version), The best I could come up with is a zoomed-in satelite view. Has anyone been able to mimic what the video shows? I would imagine a layer for Street View, but I don't see one.

Also, when I first started using the app, the arrow would stay at the bottom the screen, and the map would rotate if the car turned (like an ordinary GPS). Now, the arrow moves around and the map stays stationary, pointed north. How does one fix this?
[G1 Apps and Games] prettyboy85712:
Can some upload the apk?
[G1 Apps and Games] stogchris81:
If you see the button with the blue arrow in it in the lower left corner of your screen, tap it. Mine does that when I scroll around on the map to look ahead or something.
[G1 Apps and Games] JonInAtl:

[G1 Apps and Games] elprespufferfish:
Breaks Google Talk for me when it's installed. Uninstalling the update fixes it.

Edit - Ugh. It's just so large that it pushed my adp1 into a low space situation. Apparently Google Talk won't start if your phone is too low on space.
[G1 Apps and Games] Paging Dr B:

Has someone tested navigation outside the US? it works for me with the newest fix from the forum, but I'd like to know if it still works after updating?

2. Calendar is very simple and i would like to see more lines (appointments) in it

3. Photo widget with right/left arrows like windows media player widget

4. Possibility to move widgets without going to editing menu *ok, maybe with one press of some button

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] NeoAcheron:
Shame man, its a tragedy of what happened to your phone...

Luckily its not too bad, and you may just be able to fix it. You can download the service manual for the phone here: http://htcwinmobile.blogspot.com/2009/03/htc-raphaeltouch-pro-service-manual.html

Just a note though, make sure you DO USE tweezers or something to get the speaker wires out of the way before snapping the enclosure back into position... I had to reopen the phone again, after powering it, to rejoin one of the little wires thats like a tenth of a millimeter thick :( DO NOT IGNORE ANYTHING THEY TELL YOU IN THE MANUAL. Oh, and what works well for the "plastic removal tool" is a cut out piece of plastic ice cream container. AGIAN, do not ignore anything in there... You are voiding the warranty permanently when you do it yourself (which you unfortunately have to).

Anyways, good luck!
