My phone is GSM. I think I installed wrong thing and probabably killed it. :(

anyone suggest a possible fix it?

Is it possible to unbrick my phone?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ries73:
Hi,

Not sure if this is the place for this question, but I will try it. I have a HTC Touch Diamond which works fine, except in my car. I have a Citroen C4 Grand Picasso with bluetooth carkit built in. I can connect the phone with the car no problem. I can make calls and I can hear people perfectly. The problem is that people hear themselves back (echo). I first thought it was a problem of the built-in carkit, but now I am thinking that for some reason the speaker of the Touch Diamond is not closed so that when peoples talk their voices echos back into the speaker of the Touch Diamond and causing the echo. Could that be the problem? Can I check something? Does anyone has similar problems? Would be great to hear from someone!

Thanks!

Hi everybody,

I have tested many cooked roms for Rhodium with both Manila 2.1 and Manila 2.5. I congratulate all of you very good job!

What I mentioned, that ALL roms with landscape support are extremely slow after inserting the SD card (as well as applications which must use the card work very, very slowly). This problem does not exist if you install rom with Manilla 2.5 without landscape and after that you install landscape separately (using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=588476).

This solution is not perfect. If someone of rom cookers can solve this, it will be great job.

Thanks in advance...

im having no speed issues with NRG's 28011 dec 31 build of manila 2.5...i have programs installed on my sd card and i store all my music there as well...no lag in running any of these
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] iridium21:
Which class is your SD card?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] linj:
I'm not entirely sure, but I believe this has something to do with the newer 2.5 roms supporting the documents tab, which likes to scan the entire phone/card for documents.

The link you posted is a 'hack' (a brilliant one!) to achieve landscape in older 2.5 roms and is not one released by HTC. The underlying system is different, is what I'm saying.

There are cabs floating around to disable the documents tab. You could try that and see if that's your problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmilewski:
The SD has been delivered with the phone. It's 8GB ScanDisk. I have very large map file (1.5GB) and the GPS software works very slowly. Without the SD everything is OK as well as if you install Manila 2.5 w/o landscape and then you add it - it seems that it is not problem with the card.

Thank for quick answer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cyber weesje:
hi yeah disable the documents tab i dont have a slow manila on ark rhodium rom
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmilewski:
I will do it in two next hours and let all of you know. Thnx again!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmilewski:
... but what it means for my case?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmilewski:
I have unchecked the box of doc tab and restart the phone. No result.

I cannot find the cab file responsible for doc tab disabling. Any help?

I have made another test: if manila is turned off, everything goes well. It seems that is the manila problem, only.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmilewski:
I have tested this behaviour with almost all roms with Manila 2.5 listed here (http://xdaforums.com/poll.php?do=showresults&pollid=2115).

In each case the behaviour is the same: inserting SD card with enabled Manila means extremely slow performances of the phone.

I have used two various cards = the same effect.

No card nor Manila: everything is going properly...

Any ideas ...?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] joshkoss:
delete this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\HTCService]

"DocIndexerService"="DocIndexerService.dll"

then you should be good. it is somthing to do with the doc indexer service not working with our phones.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rruffman:
It must be something you have installed as i use ARKs rom which is Rhodium AF and too have a 8gig card and garmin mobile installed which maps are 1.5 gig and i also have several movies and a ton of music i have no issues with anything being slow i also have the documents tab enabled and have never had a slow down issue. everything is extreemly fast my memory runs at about 58 - 60%. maybe try to flash rom and insert you card and do not install anything first to see the affect then maybe try installing programs 1 by 1 to see which maybe causing a conflict.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmilewski:
Additionally, I have tested roms contained Manila 2.5 landscape but without Doc Tab.

Results the same.

I think that all rom cookers use the same background of landscape support which has big problem with SD card with big files.

I hope at least someone is able to solve this issue.

Thanks for advices... I am going to try them and let you know...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmilewski:
I will do it, thnx for help, let you know soon...

Yes you right... I've left just garmin and there were no problems... searching...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmilewski:
Dears,

Problem is solved. I have no idea why, but problem was cased by folder named "htc" which contained my old cabs for win 6.1 (kaiser).

Thank you very much all of you for help and I am waiting for new roms...

Bye
[Nexus One General] wick12345:
Anyone who understands this "spectrum" 3g AT&T Tmob issue more than I.... I have a ?

Okay so here it goes....

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!???

So I've been reading all day to understand this and I do get how we ended up screwed on 3g from the rest of the world

Tmob is on "aws" which is sort of a halfway between 2100/1900 of Europe at 2100/1700

AT&T is on 1900/850 or 850... I couldn't find a straight answer on that.

Now everyone says this is "hardware" in the phone that dictates this issue. I've been researching (this is where I could use your help) and I'm missing something. Nexus one is using Qualcomm Snapdragon™ 3G QSD8250.... This AMAZING chip is not only the processor but the 3g chipset as well... (correct?) Yet this same chip is in the LG expo and the LG expo has 850/1900/2100 for it's 3g.

It would seem to me... (a simple man) that Qualcomm would NOT produce separate chips but would use some firmware/software to let the chip determine which frequencies to use. Otherwise they would have to stamp out more than one chip instead of just having one factory.

The other major issue I see is antenna length is a physical characteristic based on the radio wave you are trying to receive/send. So that may have to change too but that's more about being optimum than impossible.

Not that anyone has the cash for this but what would stop someone with REALLY amazing soldering skills from switching the two supposedly identical chipsets? Would that extremely silly idea work?

Just a thought that I thought a few people on this forum may understand more than I do.
[Nexus One General] student.driver:
First, the radio ROM should be the one to dictate what frequencies are supported if the radio chip can support multiple frequencies, which it does. There is a soft radio chip from Samsung (I think it's Samsung) that can be reprogrammed to change which carrier it's supporting, but I haven't read of it being used yet. I believe that's the future, but currently you get a chip that almost universally supports European 3G and quad-band GSM w/EDGE out of the box, and then *one* set of US/Canadian frequencies. That's it.

WIND (new Canadian carrier) is using the same AWS spectrum as T-Mobile US is, so that should give more "pull" for more AWS support in future handsets, but with T-Mobile moving toward a "dumb pipe" arrangement (no annoying a la carte options, no music services, no stupid "extras" to pay for, just voice/data/text plans) the hope is more devices will be available in the open market that will just work on T-Mobile and support whatever you're paying for. Since your ISP is just "there" and "supports" (ish) whatever you're using, the hope is T-Mobile US will set the trend for that behavior here, and WIND might be going the same way in Canada, and FINALLY bring this mentality to North America.

If that works out, expect to see more soft radio chips and ROMs to come out with these handsets so they can be "flipped" from network to network and still support all the data and voice options. If it doesn't (I think it will to some degree), then expect the long and annoying tradition of vertically integrated handset and carrier support where the handset has to be "made" to support whatever options the carrier chooses (for compatibility and being as cheap as possible to make) and not have full, cross network support for devices.
[Nexus One General] Casao:
Softchips aren't common and won't be. You could probably swap the chips directly, but it's going to cause issues.

T-Mobile uses AWS, which is 1700/2100 for down/up stream. It's considered GSM band 4, which is different from Europe, who uses a 900 band and a 2100 band, both of those are full up/downloads on close bands, so some places use 900, some use 2100, some offer both. It's a bit different. The Nexus One supposed 900/AWS/2100, meaning it's 100% Europe and T-Mobile compatible. We're seeing more and more of these chips since it's significantly simpler than making Euro + AT&T chips.

Motorola is developing a chip with AWS + 850/1900, meaning sometime next year, we should be seeing truly "USA" model cell phones, which will support any US GSM carrier. Euro+USA full could come eventually, but the addition of AWS means it'd take a 5-band chip instead of Quad band like EDGE.
[Nexus One General] Renarudo:
T-Mobile 3G Upgrade

FCC cleared radio frequencies about 3 years ago, T-Mobile bid on the majority of them and used it to upgrade its network.

Much lulz were had.

Here is a List of UMTS Networks. Pretty much all of Europe uses 2100.

I'll do more research as to WHY, but most carriers opt for certain frequencies because of hardware compatibility and cost effectiveness for when they were upgrading.

That link makes it appear that AT&T is worthless outside of NA, but that's untrue (AT&T has, for the most part coverage worldwide, or so I think...) so I'll do some more research on my lunch break.
[Nexus One General] nelson8403:
ATT has some coverage (edge once again) everywhere, some places in canada and australia have 1900, but ATT for the most part is using a freq that's not very universal
[Nexus One General] GuestK0050:
The issue is the amplifier module.

I have the Rogers G1 running on AT&T 3G. The radio firmware/software is identicle to the T-Mobile/ADP1 phone.

They did a tear down of the G1's and they both use physically different amplifier part numbers. It's not a part from Qualcomm and has nothing to do with their chipsets. Their chipsets do indeed support AT&T's 3G frequencies, if paired with a compatible amplifier.

Now if someone tears down the Nexus One, and gets the part number for the amplifier, and that amplifier can do AT&T frequencies, it may just be an issue of hacking the radio somehow to enable it.

It's quite possible the amplifier on the Nexus One can handle AT&T 3G, but they didn't bother to "certify" it with the FCC because T-Mobile is te launch parter and AT&T is sucking Apples teet.

One can only wait and see. I'm betting it simple doesn't have the correct amplifier for AT&T.

There are amplifiers that work on all frequencies. Why they don't spend the extra dollar or whatever is beyond me. They are literally THAT cheap.

[Nexus One General] coolVariable:
Or sell two (or more) versions of the phone?

850/1900/2100

900/1900/2100

1700/2100

I would guess ... idiocy.

Even more idiotic ... phone manufacturers building phones with NAM 3G frequencies ... but not selling them.
[Nexus One General] GuestK0050:
It seems the Nexus One at least has the hardware to support AT&T 3G, see my post here.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] gadgeter_1977:
Ok, got my HTC Hero Telus, but am kind of overwhelmed by the root and terms used.

Can somenoe just briefly fill me in, what does ROM actually mean and do?

I've been searcing the forums, and found a bunch of updates for RADIO on the Hero, what is this for? What are these updates for?

What's best way to start rooting, and how to learn all these ROMs, Radio, and other terms?

THANKS!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] craig0r:
Welcome to XDA!

A ROM is the operating system on the phone. It's called ROM because it gets installed to the phone's "Read Only Memory." There are custom ROMs to replace the stock one, you'll find those in the Hero Android Development forum. This forum also has plenty of posts about how to root/flash your phone.

The radio is the firmware that goes into the phone's radio device. Generally it's best to have the latest radio version installed, currently it's the JU version found in the Official Radio ROMs link in the Hero Android Development forum.

As far as the Telus Hero itself is concerned, there are a couple threads about it in the "Hero General" and "Hero Q&A" forums. Any common problem should be tackled in one of those threads. I think I was the first one to root a Telus Hero (unless someone kept quiet about it) so I've been through just about every Telus-specific issue that has arisen. If you go through those threads and still have questions, I'll be happy to help... but please look through the forums first.

EDIT: Start on page 2 of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=576826
[Hero, G2 Touch General] gadgeter_1977:
Thanks for the response Craig, you definitely cleared it up for me.

I'm using the TELUS hero on AT&T, so is there anything different regards the root and radio update process because I'm on AT&T?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] craig0r:
That shouldn't make a difference to the radio/root flashing process... However, I have no idea what it'll take to put an AT&T SIM card in a Telus Hero. I know it can be done, I just don't know the steps since I'm using mine on Telus.

Also, a lot of the issues that show up in that thread I linked you to are Telus-specific, so that might not help you as much as I originally hoped.

Good luck!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bjg222:
Using the phone on AT&T is really simple. Nothing like the complicated steps you have to do to goldcard/downgrade/root the phone. I'm using a white Telus Hero on AT&T, and didn't have any problems.

One question, though. How'd you buy it? If you bought it "unlocked" from a website like ImportGSM, then all you have to do is open the back of your old phone, take out the SIM card, and put it in the Hero. If you bought it on eBay, had somebody in Canada ship it to you, or bought it yourself from a Telus store/Best Buy/etc., then you need to unlock it first. You can get the unlock code from a number of websites, thought you'll have to pay for it. Then put your SIM card in as above and the phone will prompt you for it. After you put in the code, you're good to go!

If you want to use the internet or MMS, then there's actually one more step. You have to put in the APN settings, which tell the phone how to access the network. They can be found in the forum somewhere or by Googling for "AT&T APN".
[Hero, G2 Touch General] gadgeter_1977:
Ya I'm using it on AT&T works fine, but I'm trying to root it but not having any luck!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bjg222:
Oh, ok! Sorry, I can't help you there. I'm waiting till I've got some sort of backup of the firmware that came on the phone (Or some other official upgrade meant for the North American model) before going through the process to root the phone & load a custom ROM. Just a personal preference

Hello, I am using WM 6.5 with Manila 2.5.

I use Second Today, as well, in order to use iPhone Today as a program launcher (as the programs tab is missing in Manila 2.5).

I would like to set a softkey in Second Today that brings me to (manila) "home".

Can somebody help me?

Many thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] mitsi:
I think you need to assign it to SToday Quit. I think you can change it in the SToday Settings program.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] steami:
Thanks, I already tried this solution but this way Second Today unloads from memory and then if you launch it again you must wait a bit to load it. It is not a big problem, but I would prefer to maintain it loaded and have a switch to (Manila) home. Unfortunately I do not know which parameters I should use.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] mitsi:
Ok, I understand. I have the same program and the same issue. I usually go back to the home screen by pressing the bottom right hard button "home" or phone red key. Alternatively you can press the top right "OK" softkey.

Sometimes you may want to exit Second Today, so I have assigned the softkey to do this. If you really want to NOT exit Second Today and assign a softkey, then look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=416688.

I hope this is the solution for you.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
Second Today has a soft key setting doesn't it?

I use it and toggle my left softkey between Second Today and manila

Manila Soft Key settings are under HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] steami:
Thanks, I know how to set the softkey in Manila to switch to Secon Today, my problem is what to put in the left softkey in Second Today to switch to Manila home...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
In SecondToday softkey settings select left key and manila and apply to registry.

If your Manila soft key is set to Second oday, this should toggle between the 2.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] steami:
Thanks, I have tried the solutions proposed there but none works.

Maybe I am doing something wrong...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
Instead of selecting manila in softkey settings, try selecting 2nd today. Should work.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] steami:
I do not understand.

Which version of Second Today are you using? Mine is 0.4.3.

This version gives the possibility to show and modify the softkeys both of Second Today and of Manila.

I have radio buttons to the left, one for Left Key and one for Right Key.

On the right I can chose among Second Today, Manila 3D and Manila 2D Keys.

Based on the combination of selections you can change either the softkeys in Manila or in Second Today. But there is no option to bring you to Manila.

There is no way to do what you say, or at least I do not understand...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
I am running Ver. 0.4.0.

Remove all keys and start from scratch.

Select "Left Key" and "Second Today"

Title it whatever you want, I just use "Today".

Apply to registry and it should toggle.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] steami:
Thank you for your patience, but what should I put in "Path to program:" ?

If I do not put anything there it does not work, I simply get the name of the softkey but pressing it gives me an error message and nothing happens...

Unless there is some difference between 0.4.0 and 0.4.3 at this regard
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
My path points to Second Today

"\Program Files\SecondToday\SecondToday.exe"

Same way in my reg for HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] steami:
Great! It works!

Many, many thanks

I did not understand before...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
No prob.

Intuitively you would think that SecondToday softkey would be set to manila and visa-versa, but both actually have to be set to Second Today to toggle...

Glad you finally got it working.

is it okay to delete the Fresh.zip file and nandroid backup folder from the phone? or just keep them in there?
[Hero CDMA General] DroidDhakan:
You can move both files to your computer. Nandroid backup is very important. And the fresh one you can use it when you re flash your hero.
[Hero CDMA General] thecodemonk:
the Fresh.zip you can delete...you can always redownload it if you need it again. The Nandroid backup is, well...your backups. It's generally a good idea to keep those someplace safe in case you ever want to go back or royally screw up the phone that you have to go back (speaking from experience on this one) ^_^

Thanks you guys! I'm still with a 2bg SD Card, so space is very important for me! I'm gonna be buying a 16bg card in a few days though!
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Well, you don't necessarily need to keep the nandroid backup on your phone. Just move it to your computer, and whenever you plan on modding your Hero, just transfer the nandroid backup to your phone. That way, you'll have the backup if you need it, and it won't take up any space that you're using :)

I've searched and haven't seen a thread about this yet, so sorry if it's a double post.

Yesterday I started playing some music on my HD2, and all went good. The volume change was nice, with that bar appearing instead of the grey screen. However when I changed to a different artist, and went to increase the volume, the music paused for a second, then continued at the higher volume. The volume bar did not appear.

I went back to the original artist to see if maybe some partially corrupt MP3s were causing the problem but no, it happens no matter what now. If I change tab and play with the volume I get the grey screen and it all goes smoothly. I've tried with audio booster on & off. And I've even restarted the phone in case it was just stress getting to it - no luck.

Anyone had this problem? How did you fix it?
[HD2 General] Chad1369:
I have this problem too, drives me crazy! More so since the sound quality is superb! I noticed that sometimes this switch to "volume problem" follows answering the phone with or without BT ear piece, but I cannot be entirely sure. Does anybody have any solution?
