Well, I've been working on this off and on for about two weeks now. My problem is when it load manila initially the top curtain is gone, but when you move to a different tab and move back, the curtain reappears. I've tried lots of stuff and can't get it to stay gone. You can see the problems I'm having in the 2nd and 3rd shots.

I'll keep working, but if you want it as is for now. I've attached a cab. I've also run into a problem with the shortcuts covering up the top time info on the shortcuts screen. Should I just remove that top time info?

It includes 20 shortcuts and background for all tabs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
Just replace the top bar graphic with a blank one or change the height of it to 0 in 3a8e04af_manila.

Hi,

I have a phone which won't enter any of the boot modes (ie. recovery, boot loader etc, just hanging on the splash screen) and I'm wondering if it is possible to use the serial interface (as per below link) to make some headway on getting it back to a bootable state, or if I will have to wait for further progress on the JTAG interface.

how to access serial interface on G1

http://www.instructables.com/id/Android_G1_Serial_Cable/

to summarize: in the state my phone is in, will this serial port be active or is that handled by the system once it's booted

thanks

Hi @all

I've got a problem with my Topaz. I use the hands-free of my car (VW Touch Adapter BT). Everytime it keeps turning back on immediately after the power management turns the screen off.

To handle that all my contacts come to my hands-free, I use Jetware Handsfree extension. There is a patch, which solves the problem, but link is down. Does anyone have this patch or any idea how to solve this problem? I've the same problem without the software and other Roms....

My Rom is a german Rom --> crazyhifirom v1.2 WM6.5 Manila 2.1

I had a situation where I switched the phone back on (from standby/power saving mode) only to find it was dead. To get it running again I had to perform a soft reset and, like you, I found that I had plenty of battery remaining. This happened only once in three weeks of usage and I'm not sure what caused it.

[HD2 General] Archer:
I had a similar issue a few days ago.

I picked the phone up and pressed the power button, but nothing happened. I did the same as you and assumed that it was flat (despite me being a charging maniac!) I plugged it in and got no charging light, so I popped out the battery and put it back in. It turned on first time then.

I wasn't really concered as it's only happened once in over 3 weeks, and I'd only recently upgraded the ROM so I was ignoring any little foibles like this.

Maybe it's a little more common than I thought?
[HD2 General] ijob:
this has happened to me twice since upgrading to the new recent rom.

May be a warning from HTC for your now very famous camera thread,if I were you would be carefull LOl!!

[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Beards,

Did you have any diary appointments or alarms set on the device today that you did not immediately cancel on notification or multiple alarms set/going off? If you did then this is probably a notification queue issue locking up the phone, forcing a reboot.

This symptom was very common with the TYTN when it first came out and drove me absolutely bananas!

Long shot but let me know.

WB
[HD2 General] Beards:
No... nothing was left to tie the Phone up.

I remember checking everything before I went down to Theatre earlier this morning.

In a way I'm pleased it's not an isolated case and that others have experienced something similar (sorry Guys, I don't wish it on you ~ just a little relieved I'm not the only one).

I know HTC monitor the 'Camera Problem' topic (they've told me this directly). Maybe they have some super-duper exra-terrestial monitoring machine that can achieve the Dynamics of masspoint collections..:D
[HD2 General] HasC:
Yep, I too have had this issue.

Was using phone normally, left it on stand by by pressing the power key. Wanted to make a call, it did not turn on. Opened back cover to do soft reset, did not turn on, started sweating..., swore at the phone and took battery out and then replaced battery and pressed power button and what do you know, booted up like nothing happened.

Am using original shipped UK ROM. Have not upgraded.

I had the same problem - it happened only 2 times for a week, but it was nasty enough (and in combination with the camera problem) to make me finally send my phone back for a refund.

Basically the symptoms were similar - I would leave the phone somewhere for more than a couple of hours only to find it somehow switched off or something. The buttons light up when clicked, but the screen remains black - only battery removal helps and after that runs like normal...

I have quite a number of calendar notifications etc. - this might be a good clue!

I have the feeling that this thread might grow as big as the camera thread. Perhaps HTC fix that with a software update as well ...
[HD2 General] chimpsinties:
A friend of mine had this problem with his HD2 on Sunday morning. He was surfing the web with it when it froze up. When he took the battery out/in again it wouldn't turn on.

He called HTC and they came to pick up his handset on monday. I guess he'll have to wait to get it back repaired :eek: Maybe he should have tried taking it out a few more times first.
[HD2 General] rivets:
I had something similar this morning, I have been using the alarm for the last 2 weeks with no problems. this morning the screen lit up, i saw the notification on the top but there was no noise. as a veteran of WM i dismissed it as "typical". however, the screen then went blank, the buttons would light up but nothing happened. I reset the phone to no avail, button still lit up but no screen - mild panic. removed and refitted the battery and all has been well since.

won't be too chuffed if it happens again....

[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Beards,

Notwithstanding that this may be some kind of new software or hardware problem, I just wonder about the notification queue.

I would try using a copy of SKTools to clear the notification queue ( I think you can do other tweaks as well but it's been a while since I used it) and see what happens.

Did you have any missed calls you did not answer today (another possible culprit, linked into auto screen lock = disaster).

I am simply putting ideas out for you to try to narrow the problem down. Don't know if any of this will work.

WB

PS: Just had another thought; have you installed an application onto your SD card that is on-screen? Used to have this issue with a weather application, sat on screen but installed to the SD card.

If the phone went into sleep mode and the application polled the weather servers then it would die a horrible death. De-installing and reinstalling to phone memory solved the problem.

Again its a long shot but you never know.

[HD2 General] mart69:
Ive had that same problem twice last night within th space of 1/2 hour and the today i ran fine up until about 5pm today, where it froze, I updated the rom on sunday from O2 1.43 hope this is not gonna be a problem, anyone know where to get O2 1.43 rom just in case I have to return
[HD2 General] Beards:
Even though my profession is based on absolute accuracy in detail, when it comes to finding out why the HD2 died I'll try any long-shot.

There were no programs loaded though and I know nothing was paged to make the Phone send any notifications.

I'll have a good check at possible programs/dll's later though.

Thanks. :)
[HD2 General] gajewsg:
I've had the same a few times. Probably the reason was overloaded main memory. I removed some mp3 files, but the situation wasn't change.

htc touch pro2 vs hd2... just got the answer!

a day ago... i was unsure about the upgrade. i had posted tis msg in xda but was advised by a senior member tat it was worth the upgrade n i culd find all my answers to the query here. here was my msg...

"hi all. with all the hypes surrounding htc hd2... n my htc touch pro2 fast losing its crown of being the best winmo device in the market... shuld i upgrade to the hd2? n watz wif the glass screen? wuldn't it crack easily? it's glass! appreciate everyone's take on this. the only selling point tat is tempting me away frm my pro2 is abt the speed... 1ghz vs my miserable 528mhz... sad. everyone's talking abt its blazing speed. is it tat obvious?!

then again there's tat camera issue... the infamous pinkish spot, which htc support claims it's related to the 1ghz dragon fella... software related... n restricted to only a selected few?! so it's like going2 the lottery n c who gets the infected piece is it?! bottom line is... my pro2 seems like a honda civic... n the hd2 is purportedly a nissan skyline, but wif so many question marks hanging over its head, shuld i still go for the upgrade? thnx!"

guess wat, after reading most of the threads here... i think i'll stick with the htc touch pro2. the hd2 has way too many issues... even worse than the camera thingy tat i knew abt... but the number of issues tat r highlighted here abt the hd2... is enuf2 make me say no to hd2.
[HD2 General] tictac0566:
This thread here reminds me to some issues with WinMo 6.5/Manila 2.5 ROMs for the Xperia X1: Over there in the forum, you can find quite some postings describing the "standby of death" problem.

Just very close to some of the other issues we now face with the "real" Leo, too. In fact, there are more "similarities" like the stand-by issue, and nobody was really able to clearly reproduce the problem as there seems to be no pattern. The same problems are not existing in WinMo 6.1/Manila 2.1 ROMs for the Xperia - but some in a WinMo 6.1/Manila 2.5 version, when I follow the thread correctly.

I do strongly believe that there are, underneath the hood of Leo´s operating system, quite some nasty bugs in WinMo as well as Manila. I cannot imagine another explanation why 2 totally different devices with very different hardware (parts) would show the almost exact same issues.

Of course, porting the Leo ROM to something like Xperia may bring some issues, but most apparently, most bugs are coming from MS and HTC, not the talented chefs here. (One more reason to look forward to custom ROMs for the Leo. No good sign for HTC though, frankly spoken...)
[HD2 General] uccoffee:
mine die this morning too ... alarm didnt go off

but press and hold the power button wake the phone up and alarm start ringing. Then I power it off, and all the other buttons does not turn on the phone other than press and hold power button = soft reset ... weird :(

Camera patch is out today

waiting for new ROM release
[HD2 General] jakem:
Same thing happened to me this afternoon. The phone wouldn't start up when I pressed the power button so I tried holding the power button down to force a soft reset. At one point all the buttons lit up but nothing more happened. Eventually I pulled the battery out, stuck it back in and then the phone started.
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
I haven't read the whole of this thread but thought i would just say i had a similar problem yesterday, i started my own thread as i didn't come accross this one.

The phone wouldn't wake up, just the hard keys lite up. No amount of taking the battery out would fix it. Hard reset 3 times no luck.

I left it be for about 3/4 hours and it booted up from the hard reset!

since installed 1.66 last night, running lovely now.

Weird.
[HD2 General] the dragonlord:
absolutely no....full signal zones....:(

i just flashed to one of the latest rom last night... and i suddenly started getting this problem (twice in past twelve hours)... are there any new foundings that you guys can share?

I have now installed memmaid and hope it will fix my problems...
[HD2 General] tsttse:
ever since installing memmaid, i have not had any problems... (9 hours)... fingers crossed...
[HD2 General] tsttse:
crap i spoke too soon... i just got the problem again...
[HD2 General] Mariad:
I had the problem of the screen staying blank when a button was pressed, even though the key pad lit up. I installed MemMaid as a trial and the problem went away... mostly. Sometimes the screen would take a while to come on, as long as ten seconds I's say, but it did always come on; except once. That time it didn't come on, but pressing the blank screen where the left soft key is activated the soft key and the screen sprang into life.

A while later, the screen started staying blank again and it took several days before I stopped being stupid and realised why; the MemMaid trial had run out.

BTW, assuming it is the notification queue that's the problem (and it still might not be) there are free programs out there that will clear the queue, just have a google. I can run down some links if anyone asks.

Maria.
[HD2 General] gadgetwizard:
Still no screen blanking in a whole week. Have now purchased the full version of Memmaid.

I do recommend Dutty's task manager. Closing programs properly seems to keep things running smoothly.

Not missing the my location or auto weather update at all.

Tentatively installed S2U2 as i prefer it to the Windows lock. No problems so far.

I also stress that you must set up Memmaid as described on this thread. Just installing it on it's own makes no difference.

What's the chances of HTC refunding me the money for Memmaid?

I'd like to thanks 'beards' for the information on this thread. Seems to have fixed the issue for me.
[HD2 General] Beards:
You are quite correct in doing all those 'housekeeping' items does appear to keep the HD2 operating.

I understand what you say about having to use something just to get a working phone.. why should you the end user have to pay to put things right?

Trouble is HTC will always put this down to individual configuration, be that software loaded or updates to the system.

I have had lengthy talks with HTC about this and have mentioned to them it is wrong to assume just because a user configures his machine within 'normal use' and it occasionally fails, it is then wrong for HTC to not take responsibility if said machine does fails.

All we can do is each of us look to keep our phone's working using what information we can gather and pass on to each other.

I am pleased though your HD2 like mine is now operating correctly. :)
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:

[HD2 General] Indrid:
Hello all, would just like to add my despair to the thread. :confused:

I got my first HD2 on January 29, it had a very old ROM version. The problem of the phone refusing to come out of standby started after just over a week, and I could only get the phone back on by removing and replacing the battery. I was using the phone with its vanilla software load-out.

I got more and more frustrated and then contacted HTC. They suggested a hard reset, I did that and also updated to 1.66. The problems persisted. They insisted it was a hardware issue and it would need to be repaired.

I then contacted my network provider and then agreed to replace the phone (at point of delivery) so I went with that since it would be a much faster turn-around time for me.

The new HD2 came with 1.66 a few days ago. Everything was fine.... Until this morning as I woke up to find the unit refusing to turn on, again with the vanilla software load-out. Very, very frustrated and I hope HTC is looking into this.

Has anyone showed HTC support this thread and explicitly asked them if they are working on a fix?
[HD2 General] Beards:
You obviusly did not see post 189.
[HD2 General] Indrid:
Oh I see.

Unfortunately it is usually standard procedure for a support department to not admit to anything until they have a fix or are close to one, lest they get inundated with requests with no way to help. I know from experience....

I'll be on at them myself later today and see what they say.
[HD2 General] Beards:
Yes, all to familiar in badgering HTC.

I did it many times and gave them countless info before they caved in on released the fix for the camera.
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
Ah, this rings a bell, i'm new here but i'm sure i read there was a thread about the camera that you started and HTC listened!!

Well done, I'll forward my complaints to you from now on being as you are well known to them :p I love a complaint myself, my Mrs calls me Victor Meldrew :mad:

I'm getting my second unit tomorrow and i'm praying it all works fine as i love the phone. Thanks for the settings BTW, appreciated :cool:
[HD2 General] mynamesteve:
I had been having this problem pretty much every day (well every 2 days if i was lucky) even after a hard reset.

Id turn the phone on only to have the keys light up but no screen. I tried to call the phone when it was in this state, the phone rang till my answerphone kicked in but my HD2 didnt make a sound. (I started getting this after upgrading the radio to 2.7)

Now i have hard reset didnt fill out any sense info i.e. location service, weather, twitter or facebook and swithced to the titanium today screen and not had one problem since been a week going strong. HD2 feels faster aswell.

So my opinion is that it is related to the sense software unless someone who uses titanum is having the same problem?
[HD2 General] tsttse:
hmm i have never gotten the screen to spring back to life after it went dark.... i have now turned off HTC sense for the night (as i wait for a new rom)... I didn't have this problem with the stock 1.48 rom.... I went to pick up a new rom and didn't use MTTY to install it, some say thats the cause of the problem... so i'll retry tomorrow...
[HD2 General] Indrid:
Mine has stopped failing since I disabled auto send/receive e-mails, will keep updated.
[HD2 General] wigwam12:
Mine did this for the first time last Friday evening - ironically while at the house of some iphone user friends when I pulled it out to show them my great new phone! :mad:

removing the battery and reinserting fixed it.....

There was no alert or any such thing that was around either then or even earlier that day.

Mind you I did have a long period in the morning that day when I had no signal whatsoever and during this period I received a call that went to voicemail. I did not get the voicemail icon for it (it worked for prior missed calls) and only knew when I rang the person concerned (same friend it crashed in front of that evening! :rolleyes: ) and he told me and I checked voicemail and lo there was a message and it was still set to icon alert.

It happened again later that same evening. I recall that the only thing I had changed that day was the screen lock period - I had been getting annoyed by it locked while I was thinking of moves in bubble buster game so I upped the lock time to 2min. I did wonder if I was used to putting the phone in my pocket after use and assuming it was locked but this time put it away and it was not locked and there had been some accidental button presses that locked it up or something.

Anyway I then put it back down to 1min.

I have in the interim enabled push email for gmail and the only other time I have had a problem is yesterday evening when it threatened to do it again [buttons lit but screen dark] but strangely I pressed all the keys this time not just the power one and when I pressed the home key the home came away [not locked] into the home screen.

I will keep an eye and feed back.

For unrelated reasons in the interim I had removed most of the alarms from my calendar; I do use the normal alarm still normally don't snooze it and use FB but only via the quicklink not always on in the background.

I use Dutty's taskmanager and am a little anal about closing things down.

It is an irritating issue though.

Is there any way to "check" the notication queue that Wacky mentioned?

Perhaps the "stuck" voicemail icon was the culprit on Friday? [although why it woudl manifest 8 hours after the call and many hours after I had heard the voicemail itself as well I don't know]

I should add I have an unlocked phone on Vodafone UK. I upgraded after a week to the wwe 1.66 rom using the standard HTC method. That was over 2 weeks ago.
[HD2 General] :
Would like to suggest putting the MemMaid settings on first post. After this, MemMaid developer will make a lot of money from this horrible non-Sense issue. Banana and Beards will 'definitely' get credits....lol....
