[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrandroid:
yea, if you're bricked and get a new phone. When you try again, install the radio... then reboot and Confirm it's installed. If it is, then go back and install the SPL. don't need to do it all at once. Better safe than sorry.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ach1lles:
only flashed the radio, after it completed it said press home + back to reboot, so i went to reboot and my phone got stuck on a screen with the htc logo, so i puleld out the battery and went to turn it back on and it has no power to it, when i plug it in the orange light doesnt come on at all. Im getting it replaced but im not trying to root the new one, just going to keep it over the air

Hi all,

I've just bought myself a G1, and I'm already having a problem......It seems that even though I can successfully get in the bootloader, I can't give any fastboot commands!The computer doesn't recognise it at all.No new hardware found,no nothing!I already have the drivers installed, which I tested with my htc Magic and ADP1, so this is surely not the problem.Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance, Peter
[G1 General] melterx12:
im prolly wrong but dont you need to have a custom SPL to get that to work?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcostantino:
I have a G1 that was replaced under warranty earlier in the year. I rooted it as I had my preordered G1 that it replaced and it has always acted weird. I'll get freezes during use, it will randomly reboot, it will lock up when sleeping.

It seems as though i can do a fix_permissions or mess with some setting and it will be fine for a while, then crash. This usually happens when my wife is trying to call me and she's furious that my phone is dead - again. The weird thing is that I would update the software, the phone would act like **** for a few days, then calm down and work as it should - but still screw up once every two or three days.

It has been really pissing me off lately, I tried to completely blow it out and go totally back to square one with the DREAIMG.nbh. It never once crashed during the 12 hours I was running RC29. I rooted it and as soon as I installed the Cyanogen recovery image, it started acting weird.

I did the usual steps of run telnetd, reflash recovery, then reboot. That was fine. When I went to flash DRC83 and flash CM 4.2.8.1, it started hanging at weird times inside of the recovery console.

Once was when I chose "Flash from update.zip" by mistake, it hung.

Another time I went to flash DRC83 and it hung before it started writing.

Then it would finish DRC83 and hang at the main menu.

Random reboots.

Finally I got DRC83 and 4.2.8.1 installed and it rebooted to Cyanogen's ROM like it should. I was high-fiveing myself and everything (no, I wasn't) but it was short lived; it hung after the 3rd app installed from the Market.

WTF? Do I have a phone that just doesn't want to flash? It seems whatever it is that doesn't like my phone lives inside the recovery partition as well.

My phone says this at the tricolor screen:

DREA100 PVT 32B

HBOOT-0.95.0000

CPLD-4

RADIO-1.22.12.29

Sep 2 2008

This phone came with RC31 on it if I remember, I think it was a month or two in to when they all came with RC31.

I would like to re-root the phone since I like getting all the cool updates being pulled from the newer builds. If it can't happen, I'm just going to OTA the damn thing and use it unrooted but reliable and get less crap from the wife.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
when flashing the cyan rom you use the 1.6 image from HTC,which can no longer be found there.You should be doing this:

1.Wipe

2.Install 1.6 APD...Blah devphone..blah

3.install cyan right after without rebooting

4.now reboot

5.should goto rec mode

6.reboot once more
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcostantino:
That's pretty much what I had done except using the 1.6 image with the radio and recovery partitions removed, from the cyanogen wiki. The problems seem to start with the new Recovery partition.

I just received the 1.6 OTA overnight and I'm going to let it run for a few days to make sure that the phone itself isn't defective in some way.

It may be that there is some component in the phone that is of borderline quality and just can't handle something in the Cyanogen ROM but works with OTA software otherwise.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcostantino:
Ok, I received the 1.6 OTA and after that, the phone started acting ****ty. Not nearly as bad as what it was doing when Rooted but for sure acting the same way. I had about 12 hours before the phone locked up in the Market, then froze while asleep, then rebooted when I hung up on a call. Apparently the 1.6 ROM just hits the phone harder than 1.5 did.

I have put in a request for a warranty exchange and should hopefully have a new phone this coming week. I'll let it run unrooted for a few days to make sure it's OK, then I'll root it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Your radio version is out of date from what I see.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcostantino:
That was the RC29 radio, it is now at 2.22.19.26I with the 1.6 OTA.

It is pretty remarkable that a phone that had NO problem with the 1.5 OTA and occasional screwup with the 1.6 OTA would totally crap itself when running Cyanogen's 1.6. I guess he's right when he says that it can cause problems. It certainly made a phone with marginal HW problems go over the edge.

How hard is it to make the keyboard a different color? I know the fresh water theme that worked with fresh .7 had a nice light blue keyboard and I would like to try changing the color myself.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
I think it is just as easy as editing the PNG files. I am not entirely familiar with the directory yet so I am not sure where they are at. Also, on Better Keyboards website they say you can make a Skin for their keyboard in about 10 to 15 minutes.

Couldn't be terribly hard.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tardie:
Open the soft keyboard, look in the bottom left corner. There should be a cog-looking thing next to the comma key. Pressing this will take you into a settings screen. Tap "Text Input" and there you are.

Hope I helped.

i can't cus they're from protected links. it is any wmv etc so it doesn't really matter. usenet, seedbox are where they come from. I tried an mp4 and it was fine so my guess is the tp2 hardware cpu just sucks. but I would think it wouldn't be an issue. hmm

...when the screen is on? It's quite annoying to search the keys in dark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mughal90:
i absolutely agree..........m also searching for such tweak.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] whiplash78:
intresting tweak !....i'm hope someone could solve !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] here4info:
what would be even better is to use the ambient sensor to turn on the backlight whenever the phone is picked up (using the accelerometer)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Karlos G:
Yes this annoys me too is really hard to see the keys in the dark more so when the screen is lit up!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nighthawk:
It's a good idea, but a little complicated...

Anything using motion just wouldn't be the best, since a lot of people put unit into a pocket, bag etc. Which is means the HD2 is usually moving as a result of walking etc. You might get away with sensing VERTICAL movement, but that is assuming the accelerometer can detect VERTICAL movement and it potentialy could be triggerd by normal movement in a pocket, bag etc. as well.

You might be able to use the proximity sensor with the accelerometer to do this. It wouldn't be perfect, but may work enough for most.

The simplest thing would be to enable the backlight to automaticaly stay 'on' when the device is activated (I don't need light to do this). Add to this a time feature that says only activate if after 6:00pm and before 6:00am. This means it wouldn't activate during daylight, unless you told it too. You would also need to add the feature to 'always' activate as some like to keep it simple or routinely visit dark places.

:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nutmegy:
perhaps get it to light up when input is detected on the capacitive touch screen. that way it wouldn't get activated in a pocket or case. haven't a clue how to implement it but hey.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
I really don't see an issue with wanting the keys lit when the screen's on. That sounds like a perfect solution to me. I think using sensors is overkill.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] aefelix:
Interested in this tweak too...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lancelot54:
Or use (light + proximity) sensor.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nutmegy:
so no ideas then huh? i will have a root around through the registry settings to see if there is anything we can use for this..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nutmegy:
i will have a root around the registry see if there is anything we can use
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] onisuk:
waaaaaaay too many "over complicated" solutions to this prob in this thread regarding using sensors etc ... you basically just need to stop the lights from sleeping while the phone is unlocked and on ! so if the screen back light is on the buttons should be too !!!!!!!!:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nutmegy:
yea thats what i was going to look for...

i.e. if screen is on.. turn the buttons on!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] onisuk:
bump ! bump bump !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nutmegy:
hahahah i was about to do the same
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ebichuX:
bump! it's a must !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Insane Devil:
bump from me too! :)

I am sure this could be done by a small registry change...but the mystery is as to which registry entry to look at!

Found a way to do this programmetically, I'll make a small test app for this tonight. Check back in like 8-9 hours, my boss won't like it if I do it during work time :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
What is it you've found? Is there a dll that can control the button lights?

-timer and stop watch

-full resolution youtube video player

[HD2 General] PlexusXXX:
About a month ago I upgraded from my old trusty and excellent HTC HD to the new HD2.

After a few tweaks, haks and fixes and some downloads, I was extremely happy of my HD , in fact the only real improvement in the HD2 to me seems to be the much faster CPU (which of course is not a little thing)

However there are a couple of major gripes (or just lack of aternative options) on the HD2 that I find particularly unnerving, prominent among which is the excruciatingly bad Kboard.

It's even worse than the one I've got on my HTC Hero which has a far smaller screen.

On the HD I had installed "FingrKboard" which I found simply excellent; is'nt there something similar that would work on the HD2?

Or maybe do you think that the same .cab file that worked on the HD's wm 6.1 will also work on the HD2 wm 6.5?

Second major problem with the HD2 is that I still have'nt been able to find a (good and possibly free) registry editor for it.

I have read about some very interested tweaks for the HD2 in the threads of the forum, but they all require the use of a registry editor, which one would you suggest?

And again: would I be able to install and use one of those I had on the wm 6.1 of my old HD(1) ?

And last (and probably least too): would "Gyrator" ,be installable and working on the HD2 as it did on the HD1?

No eh?

And do you know of another app that would make the screen turn from portrait to landscape with all apps?

Even if you could point to the solution to just one of my conflicts with the HD2 , you would have accomplished your Xmas good deed by making very happy a poor afflicted geek.

This is the way you might earn your place in heaven, you know ?
[HD2 General] Elcs:
FingerKeyboard worked on WM6.5 on the HD1 and works on the HD2. I found it to be superior to the standard HTC keyboard.

There is also a cab file that reduces the sensitivity of the screen on the HD2. This is supposed to make typing a bit easier although I have not personally tried it.

For registry editing, I use PHM RegEdit. It's a free program.
[HD2 General] sunking101:
I use Resco Explorer and once you've downloaded that (for free), download the registry editor add-in (both cabs on the Resco site)
[HD2 General] kareeem:
Resco Explorer will eventuall need a key to fully register the program. I do however second Resco if you can buy it.
[HD2 General] sunking101:
The registry editor stays unlocked though. I actually never use the Explorer part but you're right, that gets locked after a few days so you need to purchase it (if you want to).
[HD2 General] gargon01:

[HD2 General] PlexusXXX:
Thanx fellas.

I had both PHM regedit and fingerkeyboard because I had downloaded and installed them on my old HD(1) and Samsung Omnia i900 ( of which I got rid long ago) , now I have installed them on the HD2 and they work great.

I wonder which other win 6.1 apps will work on the big screen and win 6.5 of the HD2.

Dutty (one of my heroes) for exemple had to modify Cyberon voice dialer to get it to work on the HD2 because as it was the standard version would'nt play together with the HD2., so not all HD apps would be usable on the HD2.

I wonder how Gyrator would behave in the new environment.

Oh, and thanks very much for the link too, very interesting and useful.

I hope I'll be soon able of being of some help too.

Dont mean to flame or anything like that.

But the title of the thread suggests that you arnt happy with the device.

So we start reading your post.

But its all just software features you lack or want to change.

And that does not really imply the hardware exclusive to the HD2.

Thank you mate, I looked for it for 2 days, maybe I should wear my glasses more often.

@ Enonoid

I'm sorry if from my title you or anybody else got the impression that I was'nt happy with the HD2: I bloody love it man!

I just wished to find a few apps, progs and tweaks to which I got used with my old HD1 (which I loved too).

I also have an HTC Hero and a Nokia N97 ,which after Nokia changed camera lens, camera cover, GPS chip & software, installed ROM 2.0, optimized memory, and gave me for free one year subscription to the latest OVI maps for Europe, has become a great phone too; but the HD2 is my fav hands down, even though as an OS per se I like Andrid more than WM 6.5 (mainly because of the marketplace and the awsome free apps available).

One must be a brainwashed Apple fanboy not to like like the HD2.
