[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] vidh:
Hi,

This is my first rom flashing, and when it came to 96% it stopped, and I got communication error.

After trying several times more the same.

When I start the phone now I only gets to the tricolor picture where it says "upgrade ROM code error please try again" :confused:

When I run the Custom RUU again I get the the following error

ERROR (240): FILE OPEN

The upgrade utility can not open the requested file, please check your update utility.

Any good suggesions how to proceede?

btw my phone is an O2 XDA Guide.

try to use bootloader -

1. turn it off. (disconnect from pc, remove battery)

2. insert battery

3. hold volume down and press power

4. you will see tricolor screen

upload new ROM.
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] malloy0:
As serfer222 suggested, go to bootloader or in other words do a hard reset.

Try this link as FYI.

[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] serfer222:
bootloader is not a hard reset.

hard reset returns your last flashed ROM to default state, just if you just flashed your device.

bootloader doesn't change anything but allow you to load new ROM even if your previous ROM flashing failed

that's why I suggest to use bootloader.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Britlantine:
If in doubt, ask, which is why I am asking the experts on this forum as I'm having quite the time with AVS video convertor finding a setting that will give me files playable in Windows Mobile 6.5 WMP on my TP2.

Yes, I do have CorePlayer but the blue flicker bugs me so unless TCPMP can play back a file, I think WMP is my best bet for TV output. However, I've yet to find a good setting that will play in WMP, does anyone have any advice on optimum Video and Audio encoding settings on AVS or any other suitable encoder? I'm looking for each file to take up about 400MB of space per hour of playback.

Funnily enough I have some old files from when I fisrst got a smartphone that are at the optimum size and playback but even by using Gspot to inspect them I can't figure out which program I used to create them all those years ago. All I know is it had a simple GUI you chose which type of device you had and it converted the file ending each with the original name plus _PocketPC. Anyone who knows what it is please can you post as I'd love to use it again (it was on a now-dead machine).

Thanks

Hi Guys

Any idea how can I setup custom SMS and e-mail sounds? I know where to go to but I can only select sounds that were part of rom. I have put my sounds in wav, mps and wma format. Wma format works for phone sound. However when I search for them on new message sounds tab they are not there.

Mod can you move it to Leo threads as I post it here by mistake

i second that, ive been looking around for a while but cant find out how to do it. im sure its a simple thing to do

[HD2 General] matthewharmon102:
another option may be to davigate to the file using the standard wm file explorer, press and hold to bring up the menu and select set as ringtone. this will then add it to the list of sounds then you can go into the settings and change the ringtone and sms sound to the newly added song. i have only tried this with an mp3 file so i dont know if other formats will work

After owning HTC phones now for over 3 years, when will HTC start listening to people on forums like this one and htcpedia.com, then start making phones with the features that we are asking & waiting for. And just as important when will they start making accessories for these phones. Now owning a Touch HD for over a year I was looking at getting the new HD2, but it appears the mini usb port still does not support music or porting video through it (this is also true on the Touch HD yes I was disappointed when I found out). I would also like to have a built in FM transmitter. I think HTC are missing out on a great future for their phones.

Jez

P.S come on HTC sit up and take notice.
[General Topics] Livven:
Contact HTC, if there are enough requests, they'll perhaps listen to you. Better than crying here :).
[General Topics] jez.stix:
Hello Livven

Not crying just disappointed with HTC and thinking maybe it’s time to change, to a phone producer that is listening ,it appears that’s exactly what apple are doing. Been in touch with HTC direct about a month after I got the Touch HD asking them to include certain things on the next model and a year later the HD2 was launched which appears to be a big screen HD with no more capabilities.

Cheers jez
[General Topics] markgamber:
I got tired of HTC's short-sightedness and bought an iPhone. It's a nice phone but it doesn't have nearly the feature set of a WinMo phone and Apple is a total pain in the ass. I'm still not thrilled about HTC so I just bought the LG Expo and, as I write this, I'm boxing it up to return it to AT&T. The hardware specs look pretty good but there are just too many things wrong with this phone that can't be overlooked. To start with, the UI is just awful. The bland, painful Microsoft stock UI is actually easier to deal with, in my opinion. It takes a dozen taps to do almost anything and you really need a stylus to get anything done. Which leads to problem #2...the stylus. It's like a little tube of lipstick which also means it's not attached to the phone. I wonder how many days would take before it got lost? You can attach it via a little string but it's beyond stupid that this got past QA. Then there's the GPS. It comes with AT&T's GPS app but I have my own that I've used for quite some over on a variety of phones without a problem. It will not recognize the GPS in the Expo, however, and therefore won't work. Strike three, you're outta here. So as I mentioned, I'm boxing it up and taking it back either for a refund or, if they'll do it, a trade for the Tilt 2 or something from...sigh....HTC. Despite some of the dumb things they do on occasion, HTC is still the best WinMo phone manufacturer I know of.
[General Topics] jez.stix:
Hello markgamber

I know where you are coming from I had the Samsung Omnia last year for a month and sent it back because it was crap, it had the same idea for the stylus as well, a piece of string to attach it to the phone. Maybe Iphone is not the way to go then. It’s I’m getting politely frustrated with spending a small fortune on phones that do only half of what I want it to do. That’s the thing, these manufactures forget these phones aren’t cheap to us, it just seems to me they are thick and they think they know what we want . I know what I want on my phone

1. winmo

2. gps for satnav

3. fm transmitter

4. tv out.

5. usb port to play music through using a docking station

6. 3.5mm headphone socket

7. a 5+ meg pixel camera that actually works

8. gprs thats is quicker than the old 56k dial up

And so the storey goes on. Hopefully someone from HTC will read our thoughts and do something about it for the next model. If they do read these comments email me HTC and I will let you know what we want from our £500 phones. Bloody hell more money for a phone than a high spec laptop
[General Topics] stimpson:
hi Mark

I hear your frustration about the eXpo....I bought a IQ from Telus (the Canadian version of the eXpo) and really didn't like the UI AT FIRST. But the phone has really grown on me. Maybe you should consider keeping it for a couple of weeks, and then giving it back if you still want to.

1) I now find I am figuring out the UI and I am starting to like it. Using Throttle Launcher(free) or Spd Shell($) are both options that are very similar to the TF3D or Sence UI if you really find you want to abandon the S Class UI but I would say try it for a week or two and you may like it...there are things you can do faster than TF3D as well as slower.

2) The stylus situation really sucks. No argument. I have found that after I set my phone up, I can get by without one especially when you figure out how to use the optical mouse functions.

3) GPS I am on Telus, so maybe AT&T has screwed you, but my Garmin Mobile XT software works just fine on my Telus phone. I did have to play a bit though. I installed the Garmin software, and it couldn't find the GPS. I then went into the windows settings, and set up the phone to use COM port 4, and then went into the Garmin setup and selected COM4. STILL no joy. But I then changed the Windows setting back to controlled by windows, and the Garmin software found a "GPS Intermediate Driver". Works great! Locks FAST, and no lag like when I used the Garmin Mobile XT on my Touch Pro.

I have installed Opera Beta 2U, and it with the HSPDA data and the snapdragon it is simply is the best mobile internet experience I have ever used or seen.

Good luck with you Phone hunting,
[General Topics] stimpson:
Hi jez.stix

I have a similar list to you...I got a Telus IQ (Its a Canadian eXpo)

How the IQ compares to your list:

1. winmo

YUP 6.5 (21868)

2. gps for satnav YUP - but check into this (See above ATT may have locked to there software)

3. fm transmitter YUP....sorry! Read this as receiver, Has a FM receiver but no transmitter to go to your car stereo..

4. tv out. YUP

5. usb port to play music through using a docking station ...not sure what you mean here..if you mean like all the docking stuff they sell at Walmart for IPhones..NOPE..of course it has a USB connection.

6. 3.5mm headphone socket NOPE

7. a 5+ meg pixel camera that actually works YUP..works quite well with flash

8. gprs thats is quicker than the old 56k dial up YUP OH YAH BIG TIME

The real down side is that it is not a HTC unit so XDA won't support it the way they do a HTC product. I decided I could live with that but that was the hardest pill to swallow. The build quallity is heads and shoulders above my old HTC Touch Pro

good luck in finding your dream phone.
[General Topics] jez.stix:
htc response

thanks for your email. You are correct, The HD and HD2 do not have TV out. Only the Touch PR line of devices has TV out for using with presentations and the like. The TV Out function was not highly requested in the market research that we did, so we concentrated on what the request were mostly for...larger screen, multitouch, standard 3.5mm jack etc. TV out was very far down on the list of wanted features. As for the music abilities, the only thing i know of that was removed on the HD2 was the remote control. This has returned on the HD2 as we needed to develop one that worked with the standard 3.5 jack that the majority of our customers wanted. This was the only thing removed from the HD. We think we must be doing something right as we are selling more handsets than ever, and winning lots of awards for our handsets as well. However, obviously you cannot please everyone, and if we have failed to meet your needs then i apologise, and hope that whatever device you choose, whether it be one of ours or not, i hope that you will be happy with it and it is everything you want. Best regards, Pete W HTC
[General Topics] cris_rowlands:
I once contacted HTC about their lack of attention to this site.

The response i got made a lot of sense sadly.

Because of all the ROMs made on here and all the software that we reverse engineer from them and others, they cannot associate themselves with us at all due to illegality.

But still, this being the case, I think they could still use this site as a good place to do market research upon. Just because xda-devs is the largest collection of winmo users in one place that I know of, it seems to be the perfect place for them to go to see what their end users want.

I am a designer myself and it seems stupid to ignore the biggest resource of research and ideas.

Hi All

On all my previous HTC devices when I was switchin the device off with power button none of other buttons were active. So pressing them did nothing. Only way to wake the device up was to press power button.

On Leo that is not the case. Now I remember that option was somewhere in windows but it appears to not be there anymore. When I have phone in pocket volume still works so it goes up and down. It also today somehow managed to unlocked it self when in poclet of my motorbike leathers including sliding the screen to unlock. Then it started calling hte wrong person while I was on m-way. Not a good thing.

Any idea where that option is?!
[HD2 General] mobilemaduk:
Only way i have found around this is to install S2U2 and set slide to answer as only way to answer phone. This disables buttons when there is a call. There is also a cab file you can install to set s2u2 as the default unlock screen.
[HD2 General] Archer:
If you are unlocking the lock screen, by sliding the slider all the way to one side, whilst it is in your pocket, then I suggest you get a priest to exorcise your pocket. This simply is not possible without your intervention.

I would suggest that you have come across the common (and very documented on this forum) problem of the lock screen not actually locking your device fully.

This is a known problem, with a 100% effective solution. Before you start a journey (which is obviously where this is most problematic for you) click start and then lock (the bottom left soft key). This re-enables the hardware lock. After that, it will work.
[HD2 General] ruscik:
Will try s2u2 then

My pocket is ghost free, as it is made of leather and in rain can get a bit moist it does work a bit on the screen.

Also if I select start and click lock all buttons still work.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Yes, but you need to slide to unlock if the lock screen is working correctly. This will not happen by accident, in your pocket.

You can only unlock your phone with the hardware buttons if the known issue of the lock screen rears it's ugly head.

Doing what I said, before each journey, will make sure that you cannot unlock the screen with a simple button-press.
[HD2 General] Cret:
Since installing S2U2 a few days ago I've had even worse problems with ghost unlocks than before.

Previously the only issue was accidentally cutting calls off, but with S2U2 I had a text from a friend on Friday asking if I was drunk. Somehow, whilst locked in my pocket it unlocked and sent a gibberish sms!

Then today, it also somehow unlocked in my pocket and dialled my mum!

I'm just glad I wasn't playing Call of Duty when it happened or she would have just heard "Sh1t!!! You cheating f***!!! WTF??? You..... FFS!!!!" etc :)

But seriously - I love S2U2 from previous winmo phones but it's made my HD2 worse so I've uninstalled it tonight sadly. :(
[HD2 General] Archer:
You're not as bad as me when I play COD/MW2 then, or you would have made several references to "the C word" lol
[HD2 General] ruscik:
Well it took me all but 45 min to realise my problem is still there with s2u2 but other things are even worse so back to stock lock.

I am quite certain that option must still be in there. It was a tick box that stated lock all buttons except power button.
[HD2 General] Cret:
No - I'm the same exactly. I just was trying to be polite so I didn't get told off here!:D

[HD2 General] ceubank:
So I have a 3.5mm jack in my car that connects to the AUX function in the stereo. I used to use this for handsfree with my previous device. (The microphone being used was the phone's microphone, with the 3.5mm jack outputting callers through the car speakers)

Does anyone know how to get the HD2 to properly recognise that the plug being plugged in doesn't have a microphone? It seems to chop off any voice function because the HD2 thinks I've plugged in a headset with a builtin microphone when this one doesn't have that.. It's just a regular 3.5mm jack.

Perhaps a registry hack? Could this be a hardware limitation?

Thanks for any help!

How can i get my apps back from the market when they show apps are already installed?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Janis:
I guess I'd uninstall and reinstall from within the Market App. Open "Market," click on a listing of an app that says it's installed but you can't see in your app drawer (the program for the Home screen and app drawer is call Launcher.apk... apk is the equivalent of exe, more or less). on the bottom of the screen there should be two buttons, Open and Unistall. I'd uninstall and reinstall the ones you want that way.

Yeah, I miss WinMo, too. I still use PhatPad in my old phone and PC. But the capacitive screen really is nicer for fingers, and I'm more addicted to XDA and hacking phones than I am to having a hard-core useful phone (although the native ouTube App beats any I've found for WinMo, and I actually use the native contacts app). I got tired of the bugs, too, since they'd hose the whole OS and force you to decide to reboot. Android just blows past an error and lets it not work, but keeps the OS up. When I'd run out of memory or something in WinMo on an incoming call, the phone would freeze, and then there's a 3 minute reboot. In Android, it just slows down so I get less ring time to answer, but I can call back right away, and it boots in two minutes.

Java makes really nice interfaces and games, too.

I think it'll be about a year or so and Android will be running on par with WinMo (WinPh?) with Flash and alternative browsers apps, and has a few more things to offer that other smartphone OS's can't. It's fun finding them. It's been really exciting watching the progress, and how hard people work for little or no money, just because it's open source.

Oh, and PhatPad was $44. My current Note app, NoteEverything was $2. I miss the stylus and making animations, but that's it. I certainly don't miss Activesync.
