Guys i'm with O2 and lost my phone last night. I have no insurance do any of you know of any insurance policies that let you insure after you have lost the phone? or something similar. I am about 3 weeks into an 18 month contract :( To say i'm gutted is an understatement :(
[HD2 General] 20mihalko:
that sad :( do you have serial number? in slovakia, police can track phone on base of serial number even if SIM card is changed... can you do something similar in UK?
[HD2 General] donbronzi:
Gutted indeed. Doesn't microsoft myphone have a tracking facility on it?

If you have household insurance you could claim it on that, i have my phone insured on my business insurance.

Good luck amigo
[HD2 General] Xzeven:
Of course there aren't any insurance policies that will cover an already lost/stolen phone...if only it were so :D

If you have home/holiday/credit card insurance you can sometime be covered under such a policy.

If your going to claim it on insurance though, just be careful on exactly how you word your claim. Insurance companies are very...sneaky when it comes to insuring phones. A word, a phrase or a situation out of place would result in £/$/€0. For example if you say you lost it in a pub your pretty much not getting a penny from them. Read the fine print on an insurance form to be sure what,when,where and how your phone would be covered.
[HD2 General] stBlueJay:
I was wondering if maybe i could take out an insurance policy then maybe make a claim in a couple of days? Anyone ever tried something like this??

So gutted :(
[HD2 General] jbh99blue:
Plenty of people who now have a criminal record have yes :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] Isadora:
Insurance policies normally have a clause that states you can't claim for x time (mine is 2 weeks for instance) after taking out a policy or changing the phone you want covered. There's also a whole bunch of conditions about timeframes for informing you network provider to block the sim etc.

Really your choice is:

1) learn the lesson, report it to O2 so they can block your sim and issue you with a new one, fork out for a new (sim-free) phone and get it insured this time. Cost: £500 + price of insurance

2) take out insurance now, wait for the required time before you can claim to elapse, submit a fraudulent claim, risk have it turned down and risk someone running a huuuuuuuuuuuge bill on your sim for which you'd be 100% liable. Cost: lots of trouble (for fraud), whatever £££ has been charged to your sim, and most likely having to buy a new phone anyway.

Have you tried calling your number at all (maybe some kind soul has found it)
[HD2 General] stBlueJay:
Points taken,wish i could afford to but another one but unfortunately there is no chance of this. Looks like i'm going to be joing the ranks of non-HD2 owners :(

Back to my K800i then :eek:
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Personally I would go back to O2, tell them the phone is lost or stolen, block the sim and imei, then see if there is any way they can help you out.

Better to be upfront and honest and maybe get something rather than dishonest and risk massive problems for yourself. later on.

At worst you will get a replacement sim to use in another phone. You could also try buying yourself out of the contract.

Start by talking to them first to assess your options.

Good luck.

[HD2 General] Syphon Filter:
That's hardly a bargin is it!! That's about £60 a year for a £500 phone?!

10% of your device cost on insurance. Why not just add it to your home contents insurance, should be cheaper.
[HD2 General] mndl632:
might be cheaper on home insurance but might be more on excess if you need to make a claim, o2 only charge £25 excess
[HD2 General] matt07930:
Bugger, really sympathise with you mate. The trouble is that insurance really adds to your monthly bill that it doesnt seem worth taking, until something like this happens.

Yeh i was extremly lucky, totally thought it was gone and was very gutted to say the least. The taxi driver just dropped it atthe police station, no name, number or anything. They rang me to tell me it was there.... I was so drunk the night before i can't remember what he looked like or the taxi company :eek: No wonder i left it behind!

sooo can anyone recommend any good insurance policy for my phone?
[HD2 General] Roguestar:
Holy lol, luckiest guy ever in this thread. Good thing the taxi driver was honest, that was a good thing of him to do. And shame on you for thinking about buying insurance and claiming after the fact ;).

i claimed under house insurance!
[HD2 General] mightycaz:
I had this once with a camera (£500 worth of SLR + lenses!), Left it in a cab when I was drunk! I called the company and they said the driver had left it in the office for me to collect so I went to pick it up and left him a nice bottle of whiskey I was saving for a rainy day!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Re: recommending insurance.

Looking at the costs of mobile insurance recently, I decided to go the route of having the item as a named item on my home insurance, since the cost of seperate phone insurance was over a third of teh cost for whole contents.

The cheapest 'like for like' insurance I found was almost £60/yr, yet I can get full contents with my phone and push bike as named items for £175.

Hi is this the Whitestone ROM or the VZW Imagio ROM?

If installed will the phone be unlocked? As I have VZW Imagio stock ROM installed and would like to install the whitestone ROM without all the verizon junk...

I had a similar problem on my device, realised i hadnt followed the update procedure correctly and hadnt setup my SD Card correctly. Possibly the same issue for you..

In this order create the partitions on your SD Card..

Fat32 - Rest of Storage Space

EXT2/3 (i got min at about 200mb)

Linux-SWAP at least 96MB

partition sd

then option (something like swap+ext+fat32 option)

hit trackball

then hit home

hit home

u will see message remaining fat32

hit home to continue

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
If you do a hard reset and don't re-load any apps, do you still have the problems? And are you doing full Sprite restores after flashing to new roms? That's what it sounds like, and my guess is that this is the source of your problems. But if your device is unstable after hard resets or flashes without loading anything onto it, then the info8 is probably worthwhile. Keep in mind that from what I've read, all devices have a few bad blocks, and reversed blocks are ok.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] borisku:
I had the probs even after HR, but then i flashed back to stock ROM containing splash screen & radio rom, too and flashed the rom with that i had difficulties (ROMeOS2) before again, and now it seems to be okay ... following this i believe that one or more bits in the memory area where rom radio & splash screen are stored (i assume not in the rom area itsself) may be something like "instable"? or ist this big foolishness?

[Palm Treo 750] Tungstencalais:
Hi guys,

I'll apologise in advance for this thread because I'm quite new to WM. I've got a Treo 750 running WM 5 and I'd like to upgrade to WM 6.0 or 6.1 if possible, mainly because it seems that 4gb mini SD cards will not work with the older WM 5?

At present I don't have a mini SD card or micro SD card w/ adaptor. I was wondering if it would still be possible to upgrade to 6 without the external memory and where I could find more on this?

Edit: I have a telstra branded Treo 750 and I tried using the 2-23 desktop updater but it came up with "unsupported device". Does this mean I will require a 2gb card in order to use the bootloader method or are there other options?

Thanks.

[Touch GSM General] xumiking:
Dear all,

First of all, many congratulations for the great forum and thanks for all the support given here.

Now, I recognise that problems similar to mine have been discussed elsewhere, so I apologise for opening a new post, however with all the material that I could find, I got a little bit lost, so here is the story.

Some 5 days ago, the screen on my HTC Elf stopped responding to any sort of touch. The green, red and action buttons were working but no touch screen.

I have read several posts, and concluded that one possible problem was a corrupted ROM, so I downloaded latest Onyx ROM and installed it. Phone was upgraded successfully and screen started to work again.

However, the first time I switched it off and then turned it on again, it did not boot up. It gets to the point where it displays Smart Mobility and then switches itself off. The orange light then comes on for about 6-7 seconds, then off for 1-2 seconds, and then on again......

Now it does not seem to be able to charge, but if I switch it on with the camera button on I am able to get to the ROM screen (the 'rainbow screen'), so I have hope that it is not dead.

What can I do to attempt to revive the phone please? Is there a sort of 'format' that can be given so that one can start flashing ROM, etc. from scratch?

Many thanks.

PS: Except for the above, I consider myself as a total beginner in this area.
[Touch GSM General] mrqips:
Hearing that the touchscreen started working again after flashing the ROM, I would conclude it's a software-issue.

In the rainbow-screen, what SPL does your phone run? If it ends with 'cmon', you've installed HardSPL. That means you can flash your phone from the rainbow-screen. Given that your phone won't boot, you should try to flash a new ROM from the rainbow-screen. But first, you have to confirm that you've installed HardSPL.

Good luck!
[Touch GSM General] xumiking:
@mrqips - many thanks for your reply.

The screen says that:

IPL 2.20.0002

SPL 1.11.0000
[Touch GSM General] Fa7my:
Sorry Buddy.. It seems that you didn't use HardSPL, unfortunately you won't be able to flash any other ROMs..

Yet.. You might be able to use the Gold Card Method.. Give it a try and see what would happen..

Another point is.. I'm very interested to know how did you flash Onyx ROM.. without using HardSPL nor USPL (as obvious from your IPL), I would say that you used the "White Screen Method" which is by the way.. the least safest way..

Hope That Helped...
[Touch GSM General] xumiking:
Thanks for your feedback.

Actually, I happened to be reading the post by @sbettencourt in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=595856&highlight=smart+mobility

Here, a step-by-step approach is given to recover the phone:

"1º [PRJ] Unbricker ROM discovered (wildcard CID and Model ID)

2º Pick any shipped ROM from this thread:

If you have one P3450 -> here

If you have one P3452 -> here

After this, with luck and good work you recover the phone...

3º Then you must do CID_Unlock... You can search how to do it on Wiki or if you want i got one steps how to do it right here and you can see one video with cid_unlock on my signature..." (pasted from the thread)

I did Step 1, and updated it with the unbricker ROM using romupdateutility, and the phone was recovered! It could load, get to Windows Mobile, etc.

Then, unfortunately, when I did Step 2 (mine is a P3450) so I downloaded a ROM from the page indicated, I tried to update the shipped ROM using romupdateutility, but as soon as it got to 2% it failed saying that the vender ID is invalid.

Now, I don't seem to be able to update it with anything - not even the unbrick ROM. What a shame I almost go there.....
[Touch GSM General] sbettencourt:
You put the shipped ROM in the same folder with RUU??? Why??? You don't need to do that...

You only need to double click on shipped ROM and the installation process begins...
[Touch GSM General] xumiking:
@sbettencourt,

actually yes what I did was to click on the update directly.

I downloaded the file RUU_Elfin_DOPODASIA_WWE_2.20.707.1R_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_RED_Ship_Reduced.exe and executed that directly.

However, now, even this one is stopping at 2%.

Is there any hope, or have I destroyed the phone?

Thanks.
[Touch GSM General] sbettencourt:
If you can't flash the Shipped ROM, you have now to try the Gold Card... Follow the steps in that Gold Card thread...
[Touch GSM General] xumiking:
Hello everyone,

I finally managed to revive the device, by flashing it with a 'correct' shipped ROM, which did not give any errors on updating. Big thanks for all your support - you are the best!

As this starts to get addictive, and because I am now running a ROM version which dates to 12/11/2007 (2.27.468.1B WWE), what are the suggestions for upgrading the ROM please? My device is an ELF0100.

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:

Apologies if this is addressed already somewhere. I searched for "rearrange" and did not see something which looked like what I'm asking.

I would like a tool (or failing that, just the registry or file magic) to rearrange Start menu (all Programs list) items in WM65. I'm running a Dutty Holy Grail ROM on my Topaz, withOUT HTC Sense.

The only rearranging option I see is "Move to Top" and "Move Down" when right-clicking on items in the Start menu, and that's sort of like a Rubik's cube - possible to get right, but waaaay too much work :-}

Not a sorter, a way to manually set icons/programs in whatever order *I* want

the "Start Menu Sorter" app is not at all what I'm looking for. It only does a sort (alphabetic?) of its own design.

What I'm looking for - sorry if I wasn't clear before - is something to allow me to rearrange the icons in the Start / Programs folder in any way that I want to. Ideally this would be a drag-and-drop interface, but frankly a Registry key or System file which identifies the order in which all of the registered programs appears would be okay, as it isn't the sort of thing I expect to edit often.

Any other ideas please?
