I personally can't wait for 2.x but should we stick to 1.5 and see if something like the moto exploit will work on the eris?

-Chr1831
[Droid Eris Android Development] ataranine:
That's what I've been waiting to hear news of, but since no one is having any luck with exploits in the current version, who knows, there might be a flaw in the new software somewhere. But, judging from how long we've already been waiting for the software's release, it's highly unlikely.

My screen started turning white awhile back. I now have a screen and a ribbon cable.

I replaced the screen first, and the new screen shows only white. Probably the cable, right?

Then I replaced the ribbon (keeping the new screen in) and still got only white.

Hooked the old screen back up with the new ribbon cable, and now I have a working screen, but the colors are horribly washed out and it looks like it has lines of white every other line or so.

Is there anything else I can do? Should I give up? Suggestions?

Thanks guys, I don't know if I've ever posted here, but you've been a great help for many years!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Assuming the cable connectors are good and clean, it is now generally accepted that white screen issues are caused by faulty chip connections on the d-pad daughter board. If you can replace that at a reasonable cost, it might be worth it.

Your new screen may have been white because either:

1

The d-pad board is indeed faulty

OR 2

The new screen although made for the Hermes is not an exact match. You MUST replace like with like. There were at least 3 different and NON-compatible screens made for the Hermes (by different manufacturers - Toppoly, Samsung etc). The only easy way to know if the new screen is the correct one is to compare the code numbers printed on the rear of the screens.

I'll have to keep a eye on eBay for a d-pad... There are a few parts phones out there now, but I can't tell if they have the right parts inside or not,

Does the serial number tell me what screen components it uses (IE Serial number XXXX+ came with the black flex, XXXX and below came with the white flex, etc?)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
It may be that you can match screen to seriel number, but so far as I know, nobody has done that detailed matchiing task. So unfortunately at the moment, the only way to tell is to dismantle and see the number.

A thought crossed my mind about the d-pad board. Have you read the long thread about fixing the whitescreen problem. One reasonably successful solution is to place a little padding on a d-pad chip to press it against it's board. (simply put the issue arises from fractured chip solder joints - caused by finger presses on the d-pad). I don't suggest this as a permanent fix, but if such padding caused the whitescreen to disappear, then at least you could be sure it is a d-pad problem.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] RoastGecko:
My boss is a parnter in a Electric car conversion company, and they build all sorts of small circuitry (including surface mount stuff) so I'll take the board into one of them and ask if they'll re-do the solder joints for me, thanks.

I never posted here, but I got all the information I used to try and fix it here, but in all my searches, I don't think I ever read anything about the Dpad untill the past few days... So thanks alot for that...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
One thing if you have the solder reflowed (obvious to some but not all!!) remember to peel off the sticky plastic layer on the opposite side or you'll end up with a sticky mess:D

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christophe80:
Hello everybody,

I own an Orange-FR branded Hero, and it get often disconnected, but doesn't seem to "know" that. The network bars stay stuck, and the "H" is displayed, as if there was a 3G connection.

I still can use Wifi (and enable/disable it), but cannot disable 3G/GSM network, not even going into "plane" mode. The only way to get out of there is to reboot the phone.

Looks like a radio bug for me...

Any ideas ?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Yup. Which radio version are you running?

And, are you running the phone stock or with a custom ROM. If custom, try flashing the latest radio (read up on it before doing so though, as some people manage to brick their phones by not reading the instructions)- ie. don't pull the battery out, just let it do its thing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christophe80:
Hello, thank you for your answer.

The phone is like new, I didn't try to update the OS neither the radio, because of the warranty...

My radio version is 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18.

I'm aware of the flash methods, as I often updated my P3300 with roms found right here ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christophe80:
Hello there,

still have the problem, seems it's happening 24h after each reboot of the phone, but sometimes less.

By looking at the message log with the OSMonitor application, I get a lot of "rmnet fifo full, dropping packet", and the time shown in the messages is wrong (near 5h20 instead of 22h40)

Thanks for your help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christophe80:
Got a new phone from Orange (with a crappy customized rom).

Same problem :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
what does orange say about the problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christophe80:
Hi,

each ppl I could talk to told me a different thing.

Sometimes they say it's because i'm moving to another cell (aren't they joking? it's the way GSM works...), someone told me it was because of a "localisation" problem. Another time my file was "stuck" or sent to a wrong service...

I don't think they have any return on experience about this phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
probably it is just sales bull**** they are told to say to you...

i sometimes have a similar problem, phone gets stuck on 3g network and only shows as uploading data, i think it might have something to do with facebook sync. i haven't had this problem for a long time now but back in the day it used to happen alot
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christophe80:
third phone, same problem

i don't use facebook sync :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doofah:
Same Problem

I was having the same problem, especially when it came to 3g / wireless usage - the phone would suddenly lose all connection to the masts but be unaware of it.

My solution so far is to downgrade the radio - the latest one is the worst for it, I'm using 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29 at the moment and a lot more stable than before...

(using Villains 5.2 rom)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
yes I have been getting this issue too.

It uploads data on 3g but doesn't download. I found what appears to be a temporary fix for this issue but it comes back every now and again. I think it is an issue with Orange/Tmobile cell towers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christophe80:
thanks for your replies,

i'm using the 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29 radio

is there other radio firmwares available ?

thanx
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
The one listed in my sig is the latest (and arguably the best) radio.

im on orange and have no problems?To be honest when you talk to them they read from a script, noone there actually knows anything! just searching through a database kinda like windows help and support. If the problem is continuing with new phones id say its your cell area
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christophe80:
I have the problem everywhere in the country, they changed the phone, they changed the sim (i'm trying another one right now), ...

That's what makes me think of a network problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Whenever you speak to them about issues like this always ask to speak to "high technical team"

They are the only ones that know anything and won't read of a script. They are usually very very helpful as well (or at least are in the UK)

lol you must speak to a different orange in the UK! i always get some indian fella who cant even pronounce my name right (sean becomes Siin) let alone help me sort my phone out!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paleozord:
Hi, I'm considering an X1 and have two pretty quick and specific questions:

1) With the higher resolution of the touch screen, I've heard this can make things appear smaller and more difficult to use with just thumb/finger rather than a stylus. Is there truth to this, or can it be used easily with finger only?

2) As it's manufactured by HTC for SE, does it suffer from the infamous "disabled video drivers" issue that so many other HTC-branded phones are known for, or does it play video smoothly?

Thanks to anyone who can help with these questions...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flamingsamurai:
1) Smaller yes, but not necessarily more difficult. How finger friendly a phone is depends much more on the design of the UI. WM6.1, which the phone comes with isn't the best at this but you can easily get WM6.5, or Sense, or touchflo or SPB which makes it much more finger friendly (for free, in case you were wondering). The high res screen just makes things look a lot sharper and prettier. Its a plus.

2) Video playback is perfect. If you got it in the right format, X1 plays it fine and dandy. Can't comment on divx though, i believe it doesn't get hardware acceleration. Need someone else to comment.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paleozord:
Thanks for the helpful reply, it's appreciated and glad to hear it performs well on both fronts. I'm not sure I fully understand on the divx hardware acceleration though.. do you mean that certain video formats do get acceleration while others don't? I'm used to playing files encoded with Pocket Divx Encoder on Symbian phones like the P990i and E61, and divx files played perfectly, presumably with acceleration, unlike my HTC Touch/Vogue which played them okay, but with noticeable jerkiness at times.

I had thought that either the acceleration on the chipset was enabled, or it wasn't, period... and that in a whole slew of HTC phones it simply hadn't been. Am I understanding incorrectly..?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flamingsamurai:
I think its to do with the program your using to watch the videos. WMP and the Media panel on the X1 get hardware acceleration, while Core player, I believe, does not. I'm not sure what this entails either, perhaps jerkier video playback. Just wait until someone else can answer it.

I use this encoder, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=467590 , which does the job fine, the videos play perfectly on the X1, from episodes of south park, to whole F1 GP broadcasts.

Didn't know UIQ3 supported divx, I always just converted to mp4.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
1. Fingerfriendlyness: That depends on the way you customize your phone. Basic WM 6.1 isnt really fingerfriendly but if you use for example the mobile shell panel provided for free by SE the X1 is really fingerfriendly in everyday usage. And there are houndreds of other programs and tweaks to meet your personal needs.

2. My experiance when it comes to video playback is the following: Divx movies play great with a maximum resolution of 480 X 320 using TCPMP or Divx Player. Everything above is not acceptable. If you want to watch high quality movies which make use of the max resolution of the screen 800 X 480 you have to encode your movies to mp4 using the converter provided in these forums. Concerning hardware acceleration it is only possible using WMP or the media experiance panel (which I prefer).

Has there been any fix for the "send" button coming up as "reply all", even when you are starting a new message? Sometimes a soft reset will fix it, but it will eventually come back - I know it's an issue with WM, just wondering if anyone has figured out a fix/hack/etc.
[Touch CDMA General] unit68:
send/reply

i agree, only mine is with sending text messages. it switches to reply half way though typing and i either have to copy it all and hit reply then paste it or start all over. this has been in several builds, any help would be awesome!

It is up to the chefs to remove Outlook enhancements.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fulrosa:
and i'll try the other tai_Sw v27 manila2d rom and it works good for me...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Wam7:
It runs Tai's Herov3 but you will find yourself running out of memory all too quickly. If you want a smooth running phone with as little problems as possible then stick to 6.1.

If a stripped down, barebones 6.5.3 ROM appears I think it will be able to run that o.k.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bigeneral:
I've been following with most of the developers here, the last stable 6.5 i can get on my phone was - WP6.5 Build 23016 WWE SAYANGKU V6.9. Anything after that, my phone will freeze.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ultramag69:
I have to say, I don't tend to run out of memory with Hero 3... Must be what you do with it.

Also noticed, it doesn't shut down all apps when you kill them, you need to install xbutton or other app killer....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MindphaserXY:
I loved the 6.5 "stock like" ROM that's floating around. I prefer 6.1 because you can use larger PPs though. SNES, ScummVM emulation, CorePlayer and WiFi speeds are superior on a nice 6.1 ROM with a large PP. Depends on what you want to do.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cbrandon:
Same issues, went back to 6.1
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Wam7:
HTC X-button doesn't work with Hero3. I don't know a close button app that does work because of where the new 'x' button is.

Just using normal stuff like Coreplayer, OperaMini, etc. If I don't use SKTools Free Ram or Oxios I eventually, after a day or so get the 'out of memory' normally when starting the Comm Mananger.

If I want run IGO8 I have disable the today screen and then flush the memory on restart, this gives me around 23Mb free.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ek5932:
Hi All,

Sorry for creating a new thread but I've been constantly tweaking and upgrading my touch diamond and tbh I'm not happy. I have tried countless roms and I have yet to find a fluid one which does not frustrate me. Sense 2.5 is unusable, I don't understand how anyone can use it; you guys must have a lot of patient. I have gone for Gen Y 6.1 with Sense 2.1. I have heard that WM6.1 runs slightly faster and I use the recommended radio. Yes this rom is faster than most others I have tried but it's still not fast enough. It's a clean flash with mtty and I have changed the file system cache yada yada yada but it's still pretty laggy. I'm posting to ask peoples opinions on the fastest roms and I don't mean ones that are simply "usable". I am still unsure with the speed difference between TF3D compared to sense and I have yet to try Titanium, maybe titanium is the way froward? What are the fastest combinations (eg win6.1 with what etc..).

Any advice would be great,

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] stylishmoon:
in my opinion these are the fast and stable combo you could try

WM 6.1 + sense 2.5 => GenY roms are great, programs mems are usually about 65% used but it's kinda not "smooth" enough when sliding the tabs :|

WM 6.5 + sense 2.1 => DonSalari roms , really fast but heavily tweak and some kind of stuffs i must install the invidual packages while other roms have them natively :(

WM 6.1 + sense 2.1 => best performance for daily use ! compared with TF3D 2.1 , sense 2.1 is more eyed-candy and get the better ram usage :D the TF3D 2.1 is always about 80% when you have used the music tab, picture tab. While in sense 2.1 it's about 65% used

so enough ? i'm on the way finding a best combo 6.5 + sense 2.1 with stock stuffs and best perfomance. and you may like a 6.1+ sense 2.1 combo ftw :)) sorry for my english isn't good enough

i think the PP you can set to 10mb for best perfomance :D, 8mb by default is really turning me on when using sense 2.5
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] littld:
I've switched to 6.5 and titanium because I couldn't find a rom which had decent perfromance without bugs. It's a BSB rom and so far not had any issues with it. Sense 2.5 has about a second added every time you switch tabs. It looks pretty but it's just too slow.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ek5932:
Just switched to BSB Titanium 6.5 and it seems so much faster. I've only had a quick play but it seems very responsive. I just need to get used to the titanium UI, haven't got a clue where anything is, lol. Is there any way to get the task manager in the top menu like the other versions because I keep losing my apps =s
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] littld:
You should find a shortcut to a program called CHome editor. You can use this to make new panels. It's not the most inuitive app but it's what we have. You can use it to create a panel with a shortcut to the built-in task manager. I'm not aware of how you'd use the old top corner style task manager but if you get this to work, you might like it even more.
[General Questions and Answers] XERO_Racer:
i wanna ask everyone a question here, my birthday is coming up and i decided to get a new phone, i always wanted the HD2 but since TMobile has announced that its only going to be exclusive to them i wont be able to get 3G with AT&T, do you think its still worth getting it even though ill be on EDGE?

also one more question, the Nexus One has been released and it has similar specs to HD2, what you think is better as far as functionallity and battery would go for?

P.S. thought i wanna throw in this but i was thinking bout the Tilt 2 from AT&T i know its got a bigger screen than FUZE and i still got 3G...decisions decisions

looking foward to everyones answers, thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] Ace42:
I think you should wait it out, the year just started so newer and better phone are sure to be released. I heard the Nexus had some problems, pretty minor and can be fixed via update but you'll only beable to use edge on Att.
[General Questions and Answers] dcarr622:
Definitely wait it out...it was announced at CES that AT&T would be receiving 5 Android devices (three of them HTC), for all you know one of them could be the Nexux One or Nexus One Pro! It would suck to drop $530 on a phone just to use EDGE.
[General Questions and Answers] orb3000:
That will depend a lot if you prefer Android or WM

Personally I would go for Leo or Rhodium as I think Android is to young and immature OS...I am sure in the near future it will be a good option but not now..at least for me:cool:

Good luck on your decision!
[General Questions and Answers] XERO_Racer:
damn that is true.....i just dont uderstand what AT&T was thinking, but then yet again im not ready to move into Andriod JUST YET...ATT they have the Expo but no custom rom yet
[General Questions and Answers] Ace42:
But you gotta admit the "Leo" looks better than the Nexus IMO, I never used a WinMo phone but ive always used windows(2000,XP,7).

I was wondering how fast the phone is and if it had a Dragon under the hood.:D
[General Questions and Answers] XERO_Racer:
ya i wanna get the feel of 1ghz...well hopefully ATT will annouce a WM phone with another 1ghz chip very soon hopefully within the next month or so, but for now i should start collecting money and save up :D

btw is there an HD2 from a mobile company that runs on the same bands as ATT?? i heard Telstra from AUS runs it but i wanna confirm if it does
