Sounds like (Or rather, looks like) you're screwed, as far as I can tell, if it's really ripped. Otherwise attempt to clean the contact points with some cleaning alcohol and Q-Tips - something might have made it's way in when you disassembled the unit and blocked the electrical signals.

ill try it, but if that doesnt work, would i be able to replace the flex ribbon? would acteone work?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazuki1:
got this checked out by my friend, he told me its the flex ribbon cable, thanks for the help btw. Does anyone know the cheapest place to get a flex ribbon cable from?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazuki1:
Still would like confirmation if its my flex ribbon cable before i spend 40 bucks on a new one. thanks!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hexsaur:
Hi, I am new to this forum. Sorry for posting here but I think I have similar or same problem with my xperia. Few days ago I drooped my xperia and then I could not turn it ON. I opened unit, the flex cable was detached.

After attaching the flex cable. I could turn the unit and it booted normal but no response on touching screen I even tried to align it but it did not respond. I turned off the unit. After trying turning it back ON only back light of the screen turned on (no sony logo, no xperia logo no winmo).

I tried to turn it on few times but same result. Even tried to soft reset and hard reset it but no difference only back light. Is it because of flex cable or because some thing else? I can`t even go in to 3 color screen. Please help. Sorry for my bad eng. Thanks.

Hey!

I really need help.. I've done a hardreset on my hd2 without taking backup, and now I've lost a genius program.. Can't rembember the name:(

It's used to assign softbuttons from the today screen to programs.. Ex alarm button to launch G-alarm. Could also launch f.ex Resco Contact Manager instead of the original with clicking "all contacts"..

On the startmenu I had 2 icons. Something like SSOH Attach and SSOH Detach.

SOLVED: It was SSMaHo i was looking for:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] [★]:
It can also be done from the menu in bsb tweakes ;)

Any opinions on the best navigation software for our phones (that DOESN'T) require a monthly subscription? I looked at the TomTom software but they apparently don't have any maps available for the United States that I can find. I have Bing and Google Maps but those both require a data connection. They also don't provide turn by turn voice guidance or follow along with you very well or dynamically reroute you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] xredjokerx:
shouldnt all turn-by-turn apps have data usage since it needs to track u...

otherwise from that, garmin is really nice. turn by turn, though i notice it does lag behind a LITTLE bit, but it still works quite nicely.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] YOSEFE:
No, not all turn-by-turn apps have data usage, for example Tomtom does not use data.

Have you considered CoPilot 8?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ksmm:
There are plenty of different software packages you can use; just to mention TomTom, iGO8 etc.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] 3waygeek:
CoPilot 8 is a very good package, especially given its low cost. It includes all maps for North America, and doesn't require a data connection while running (but can use one if you choose the Live services add-on to get traffic/gas price updates).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] biobas69:
Data usage is used in two ways.

To update the maps as you move along (google etc), or to give live info (traffic reports etc)

MOST of the purchased gps software will include the full maps to the location you buy it, and will only need data if you want live traffic etc.

Some of the more common gps apps are, TomTom, Garmin, iGo8, CoPilot 8

i personally use iGo8 in europe and love it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] estan_0223:
Copilot is great

I have used copilot before on both Windows Mobile and Android. Right now its only $20 on their site and that includes the maps so you don't have to have a data connection. I have tried a bunch of nav solutions and this one is probably the best for overall functionality and price.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] intothevoid:
I recommend TOMTOM. I used CoPilot 8 for a few months and it works well but sometimes the directions it gives are weird specially when I traveled to another state I was getting confused with the directions it was giving me compared to TOMTOM which are faster and more direct.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sukru:
I'm happy with Copilot, routing is fast and accurate.

However voice warnings are terrible. They are slow, and usually late. I miss Garmin on that front.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] hisandherturbo:
I like just google maps............. however i also have tom tom installed............. install this, then during install you will be automaticly promted to download your 1 free city during the install...... yeah, i cant find anything online from them either. Well, I couldn't attach it here, guess it was too big. It's on here somewhere the file name is... QM_TomTom_Navigator_7.916.9189.1_VGA
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Avatar28:
Thanks.

To clarify, I don't mind if it uses data, I have unlimited data, I just don't want data to be REQUIRED for it to work. Actually, I wouldn't even care so much about that, AT&T's data coverage is okay if you will accept EDGE. I just want the voice turn by turn directions.

One other caveat, it has to be able to run from my existing microSD card. I don't care if I have to hack it or whatever, I just need it to run from my existing card with my music, etc on it. I looked at the Garmin, but you had to use only their card apparently. :-/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] The Jack of Clubs:
i use google maps for finding places and stuff. but it still doesnt have turn by turn. if it did i would probably use that. but for that i use garmin. been using it for quite some time. its the best looking and probably the most user friendly of the nav software. the gas prices feature is fantastic. but if you dont have the money you could go for something like copiolot. i havent used it though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] dib_uk:
I have tried TomTom, Copilot and iGo in the past and have landed on iGo as my firm favorite
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] worwig:
I am a Garmin fan. I have used various garmin devices on my motorcycles for many years. For my PDA, years ago I got a bundle with a bluetooth GPS and TomTom. Hated it. Recently, I got achance to try the Garmin XT software. Didn't care for it either.

I would like a chance to try out the iGo software. It can't be any worse, and can be found fairly cheap.

For now I use Google or Bing most of the time. I don't need the voice prompts.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Aaron McCarthy:
Does anyone here have the navipanel from the leo?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sixsevenco:
For the life of me, I can't understand all the love for CoPilot. I bought it on Christmas day for $19. I feel swindled.

1. The primary function of navigation software is 'navigation'. This is pretty much impossible when you're working with anchient maps. I live in a city of 2+ million and my neighborhood is 7-8 years old. My neighborhood is not in CoPilot's maps...

2. The app is buggy. If I do an online update through the app, I get an error that tells me that the POI database does not match the online database. THey have POI's that don't have corresponding streets. If you tell it to create a route between to streetless POI's it draws a straight line, which is laughable...

3. The Copilot central app is extremely buggy and the gui is terrible. First, it doesn't support netbook resolution of 1024x600. Second, the application update function doesn't work. I know there is a more current version of the app out there (I have 8.0.0.346), but CoPilot central will not show me the update. Third, the map update dated Dec 29 hangs the app upon launch. All of this is from a stock t-mo rom after hard reset and format of SD card.

4. SUpport from ALK is somthing that you would expect from a company 7-8 years ago. there is no forum or searchable knowledgebase. You can submit trouble tickets, but I have yet to receive an acknowledgment of my map update request. Apparently they will add my address in 45 days, but I have serious doubts this will happen because of all of the missing roads in my neighborhood.

5. Features advertised on ALK's website are not present in my version of the app.

I could go on an on. To sum up... CoPilot is a POS, and I encourage everyone to stay away!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sancmat:
Copilot Live

I have recently switched to copilot live 8 from OCN 8.3. I find that the maps on Copilot 8 are current in my area (roads finished last year are included). I can confirm that the Copilot central software does not work on a netbook but is fine on other machines.

I have not run into the bugs mentioned above but I will update if I do. As far as the features go the software is a couple of months old. I consider it a bonus that I can purchase for $20 and upgrade only thoes features I care about.

When it comes down to it my switch was for 2 reasons. I can use my own SD card and I can get live traffic updates. OCN does not support traffic in the US and is limited to an 8 gb card.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Dr4g0n75:
tomtom is the simplest and the easiest to use.. there are maps for the usa.... i am currently using one that is the usa and canada together.. tomtom pics some crazy routes sometimes... but its easy to pick another..

garmin is ok... but not very customizable... hope you like the way it looks, cuz youre pretty much stuck with it... the way you add the maps is cool... you pick the states you want... so you dont have to fill up your card with stuff you dont want... im not inpressed with the way you have to enter address in this one..

igo in my opinion is the best... if you get tts voices for it, it will say the street names.. it shows the buildings if youre in a big enough city... and the 3d effect is pretty nice... it also lets you know what lane to be in on the highway and it shows you the signs you will see on the road.. the biggest drawback for this one for me is the load time...

i have never tried copilot so i cannot rank that one... hope that helps
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sixsevenco:

with 1.5.2 you can toggle the usb. You don't have to do any adb commands. From there you can put the 2 files to flash over cyanogen on the sd again and reflash. You don't need a memory card adapter. Pretty simple fix.

It happensto all of us newbies
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defaria:
I'm constantly amazed how badly all phones handle Bluetooth. Simple scenario: You're listening to some media - any media - using Bluetooth. You make a phone call. Here's what you expect to happen:

1) Audio program is paused

2) Phone call is made using Bluetooth

3) After you hang up the audio program continues playing in your Bluetooth headset.

#2 unfortunately doesn't happen, or at least it doesn't happen about 50% of the time. 1/2 the time the Bluetooth is silent and the call is happening on the phone's speaker and mic. 1/2 the time it uses the Bluetooth. WHY! This isn't rocket science here! If Bluetooth is active then Bluetooth should be used for the call 100% of the time! How hard is it to get that right!

My Touch Pro's touch screen is dying, yep. It stopped working today. There is a small crack in the screen that doesn't effect the display at all, but the touch screen stopped working.

Are there any roms out there that use a Windows Mobile Non-touch for the touch pro? I wanted to know before I tried to cook my own.
[Touch Pro CDMA] dacib:
With the stock rom you should be able to use it just using the keys.
[Touch Pro CDMA] trimeijer:
well, i was hoping for something designed for non-touchscreen devices. Sure I can use the keys, but all the apps have touch stuff which makes me feel like there is so much more that I can't use. And I don't know how to turn off the HTC Manila so that I can use the default windows today screen which is more suited for the keys. Can't get to the start menu since everything in my WinMo assumes you can touch it.

Also to be preloaded with the non-touch versions of popular apps, like the web browser, google maps, etc..
[Touch Pro CDMA] antjc80:
Go into sttings -> Home

Uncheck TouchFlo 3D, Check Titanium (Windows Standard)... soft reset (not necessary, but I think if makes things more responsive) and wah-lah.... Windows Titanium.

Still uses touch controls.... but you make like it more.

Hope this helps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defaria:
HTC's Audio Manager is crap. To add insult to injury it takes over AVRCP controls such that no other application can use them. On an HTC Hero try the following - download and install some other audio player. For example, Google Listen for podcasts or TuneWiki or BeyondPOD. Next connect a AVRCP capible Bluetooth headset like a Sony Ericson HBH-DS980. Press play on the head set and insure that play plays music in the HTC Audio Manager (IOW that Music thingy on the HTC Hero). Insure that Play/Pause on the headset plays or pauses the audio program.

Now start Google Listen (or TuneWiki, or whatever) and play some audio material. Now press Play/Pause on the headset again. You'll see that you'll have two programs playing instead of one. IOW the AVRCP Play/Pause button controls only the HTC Audio Manager.

Therefore I'd like to turn off/uninstall/disable/kill the AVRCP stealing HTC Audio Manager program.

HTC did this same stupid thing on my HTC Touch running WinMo. However a company called Conduit who makes PocketPlayer figured out how to wrestle away AVRCP control from the HTC Audio Manager (and I was able to use a program to disable the Music tab where the HTC Audio Manager lived). So surely there's a programmatic way to accomplish this at least on WinMo - surely there should be a way to disable this on Android! Anybody know of any solutions? This is driving me nuts!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defaria:
Anybody?!?

Note I figured out that I can root my phone then remove /system/app/HtcMusic.apx and HtcMusic.odex and the HTC Music thing is disabled. The widget is still on the home screen but it fails to start the player stating it's not there. Unfortunately all control of AVRCP is gone too!

Seems to me I just need to install the standard driver for AVRCP. Anybody know anything about that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craig0r:
This may not be the best solution, and there's probably someone who can answer the question better than I can... but you could always try a non-HTC ROM for the Hero, aka a Vanilla Android ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defaria:
Yes, I would like a 1.6 or 2.x version of Android. Do you know where I can get one for a Sprout CDMA based Hero? Also I'd like to have the original Sprint ROM so I can flash back if required. Although I like the HTC Sense stuff i'd give that up of I cam fix this HTC Audio Manager crap. Still an HTC Hero ROM with Sense but minus the HTC Audio Manager bug would be very useful to many.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny_z:
I had the same problem. So I debugged a little bit and found out the following:

The problem:

Normally an Android device should broadcast a "MEDIA_BUTTON" action when the AVRCP buttons on the bluetooth headset get pressed so that applications like music player can react on these events. It seems that HTC decided to ignore this and uses some other (non-standard) way of doing this on the HTC Hero (maybe on other phones too, I don't know).

My workaround:

I found out that at least l can see the button press events in the device logs. So I implemented a workaround application for myself, which simply monitors these logs. When it finds one of these AVRCP messages it broadcasts the "MEDIA_BUTTON" event which normally the platform should send. I know, this is an ugly way of doing this (because it needs a running service, monitoring the logs) but currently I see no other way.

This enables other applications to react on the headset buttons! :-)

You still need to disable or remove the HTC music app or both applications will react on the buttons! I simply deleted it from my Hero (see instruction below).

As I saw here today that others might be interested in this workaround too, I published my app in the market a few moments ago. It's named "Headset Button Fix".

I cannot guarantee that it works for you, because I had only my headset (Nokia BH 503) for testing and I am not sure if the log messages are the same for other headsets. Just give it a try.

And finally, here the instructions how I removed the HTC music player from my (rooted) HTC Hero:

# Make the phone's filesystem read/writable:

> adb remount

# copy the HTC Music app in the current directory

# (for backup, if you want to reinstall it later)

> adb pull /system/app/HtcMusic.apk ./

# Delete the HTC music app on the phone

> adb shell rm /system/app/HtcMusic.apk

# Restart your phone afterwards.

Hope I could help someone with this..

johnny :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny_z:
Short update:

I found a much more elegant way to receive the headset button press events. Now my application directly receives the AVRCP broadcast intents from Android and re-broadcasts it correctly as MEDIA_BUTTON events for other music players.

So this solution is not ugly anymore (of course, working AVRCP on stock Hero would be the best, but now I can live with it).

I published this new version 2.0 in the market. Search for "Headset Button Fix"

As it does not need logcatting anymore, it needs far less resources!!

(You still have to get rid of the HTC music player. I'm afraid there is no way to prevent it from also start playing, except uninstalling it.)

So long..

Enjoy it. :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny_z:
Hmm.. sorry to hear this. So it seems not to work with every headset.. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny_z:
Hi again!

I quickly wrote a simple debug application which registers a receiver for the same events and simply prints them out. When you look at the screenshot you see how it looks like when I press buttons on my headset.

You could try this with your car system. If don't see anything in the output, then my workaround will not work for you. If you just see different command strings (in the EXTRA_FIELD_OP) then I could adapt my application.

Let me know what you get..

john :)

P.S.: You have to rename the attachement "DebugAVRCP.zip" to "DebugAVRCP.apk" as the forum seems not to allow .apk attachements.
