[HD2 General] wilcovh:
Have you tried re-aligning the screen and secondly reduce the sensitivity of the screen using BsB tweaks? this might solve your problems
[HD2 General] leoni1980:
the screen is very erratic: often when pressing backspace seemingly in the right spot the screen will jitter and incorrectly register different parts of the screen. often during texts the cursor will jump to the beginning of the text for no good reason. i find that this problem is augmented in cold conditions or when my fingers are not 100% dry.

I am no authority on screen technology so can only theorize but i suspect the problem to be linked to the fact that Windows Mobile does not natively support capacitive touchscreens (the driver for our HD2s was developed by HTC ). Other mobile OS such as iPhone OS and Android do not suffer any problems like this. we can also rule out a hardware fault here as i own/ed three different HD2s, all of which suffer from this jittering. The next update to Windows Mobile purportedly includes NATIVE capacitive support, which would - i suspect - have undergone more rigorous sensitivity and usability testing and will therefore lead to a better experience on the whole. i suspect that we won't get a truly excellent experience with Windows Mobile until 7 is released. The Windows Mobile we use now is very ancient under the technobotox, which probably explains the frequent freezes, glitches and slowdowns our HD2s suffer on a daily basis despite the awesome specifications (and perhaps why - up to now, Microsoft have put so little effort into the intentionally generic and rather stale Marketplace).
[HD2 General] hargibi:
I applyed the screen sensitivity cab and now it seems much better. ill report back tomorrow when ive used it a bit :)
[HD2 General] bobdimstar:
help!!!!

i installed bsb tweaks 1.6 and aligned the screen,my hd2 still jitter:(:(
[HD2 General] Pezza4u:
Yes I have searched for this but I just get threads that tell you how to put a quicklink on to turn them off. Basically everytime I unlock the phone it automatically connects to 3G, how can I turn this off?

TIA :)
[HD2 General] Pezza4u:
Still got this problem, it seems to happen when I get texts or calls as well. The display will

light up and connects the 3G, even happens overnight and uses a lot of the battery. I've turned all the auto stuff off but it still does it! Any ideas???
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
to stop 3g altogether you can try.... settings menu all settings connections advanced networks and disable hsdpa.
[Hero CDMA General] dphase:
I'm unable to get to it by dialing ##3282 in the dialer on an AOSP rom. Is there another method?
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Which AOSP ROM, there are two.
[Hero CDMA General] dphase:
Currently in 1.6. Tried in both 1.6 and 2.0, but 1.6 is the rom I'm seriously trying to work with.
[Hero CDMA General] red250:
pardon me for stating the obvious, but did you put # at the end?

##3282#

sometimes it's the smallest things we miss
[Hero CDMA General] dphase:
Yep, I did.
[Hero CDMA General] dphase:
Bump.

Anyone have any knowledge on this?

please help i have flashing my htc diamond and after the screan was black , he not sycro, and i want to updte i have error 260, hard reset dont work, help
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] the_scotsman:
Try putting it into bootloader and flash another ROM.

Just press volume down + reset.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tomawak1:
i have testing volum down and reset but he not work no syncro
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tomawak1:
dead is dead i tink the motherboard is hs , i don't say any other solution
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tomawak1:
any bady have a same problem , final solution jtag i tink:mad:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] 9600xt:
i'm in the same situation.... what do you did??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tomawak1:
eny thing my htc is dead
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] codeslicer:
So it won't even turn on? Can you see a black light?

Try removing the battery, put it in, hold down VOLUMEDOWN key (don't let go), and turn it on. Do you see a three-color screen?

What do you mean by "no syncro"? ActiveSync won't work with your device. But your computer maybe can still recognize it?

~codeslicer
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pietervanstee:
same situation here, also after error code 260

doesn't react to anything, can't hard reset anymore...

suggestions?

or should i send it in for repair?

Kind regards

Pieter
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ririx2:
I got from bro "cortez.i"

"(you get to bootloader mode by powering off the phone, then press-and-hold the down volume button and quickly tap your power button (do not press and hold the power button)"

good luck
[HD2 General] manuel80:
Hi guys .... Yesterday I completed the last update provided by HTC site for the last fix sms and fix the camera. if indeed the first I have seen improvements since I do not have to wait to load the whole conversation in order to post a message, if the latter can not measure the value of the fix for the camera. I only noticed that the flash is more performant (and manage better) and has gone the animation was going on when you start the camera (the camera's design that rotates). what happens to you?

thanks
[G1 Android Development] meisterlampe2000:
From Manups 1.4 on, i was not able to flash any Eclair Rom to my 32B Magic. Now, i could get this done, and i could reproduce my faults. This is now for everyone with fc or Bootloops after applying an Update:

- Wipe data

- Wipe ext

- Wipe dalvik

- repair ext

- reboot (this maybe our fault !)

- flash your rom

- reboot again

-> With this, i can succesfully run Manups 1.5

Thanks to everyone, especially to cyanogen, jac an manup for making us happy !!

Yeah, hope this helps somebody else, too ;)
[G1 Android Development] big_d093:
i think step 5 is where people get messed up at..i dont see why people get boot loops n cant get past the G-1 screen or anything..
[G1 Android Development] djluis48:
Those are the steps i follow when i flash any rom, (except if its an upgrade of the same rom), and i have never had a bootloop or anything like that...
[G1 Android Development] ellopr:
MY steps are like your but I wipe data a second time after the first reboot and like other have said I have never run into boot loops

- Wipe data

- Wipe ext

- Wipe dalvik

- repair ext

- reboot (this maybe our fault !)

- Wipe data

- flash your rom

- reboot again
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
In most cases, rom dev's post in their OP instructions for upgrading their line of Roms or upgrading from another rom. So in that regards, this thread is useless, but none the less important for new comers.
[G1 Android Development] meisterlampe2000:
Yeah of course they do !

But have a look at all those Threads...Almost one third of all questions is about fc or Bootloops... I just want to make clear that it really works, when do it right. I was also confused because i just did not read the right lines. Maybe a Thread about "wipes" is justified - If some people can get helped out by that !
[G1 Android Development] bittermormon:
If you have apps2sd isn't your dalvik cache on ext already, so when you wipe ext you are wiping dalvik too, correct?
[G1 Android Development] SG_Shadow:
Thanks for the tips, but I never have boot loop. I perform steps 1-3, then flash rom. No reboot, nothing! Then again, I have a G1. I think this was meant for MT3G devices.

[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
That's all mostly unnecessary. Simplest explanation is that you guys are doing it wrong. Most roms take care of the formatting if it's necessary, more often than not it's not. Often, the culprit will be a poor (as if the "better" one is better... :rolleyes:) a2sd implementation that causes conflicts when mounting and linking the partitions. Most often, it will be just a matter of removing the links and creating new ones.

If you really feel you must wipe (really, it's not necessary), then just do a factory reset (does both /data and /cache (erasing all /app, /app-private, /dalvik-cache and /lost+found in the process)) and wipe the ext (which also erases all /app, /app-private, /dalvik-cache and /lost+found but in the ext partition). That's all that's needed, the rom does the rest.
[G1 Android Development] BrutalHoe:
OP u r an idiot this is for developers not noobs who trying to make something out of themselves, this **** should've been in general or actually not even exist.
[G1 Android Development] meisterlampe2000:
If you think there is no need for this, you have to ban all the new Android user that don´t have any clue about what this "wipe" is about...

Almost every developer says, "do a wipe first", and in every thread is somebody having problems with that. I just wanted to tell how it worked for me after a long time of nothing...

Since I have never rooted or loaded a custom ROM on my Rogers G1 (AT&T), what's THE >> best << MicroSD card available so that I may run MLIGN 3.3 the smoothest and so that I may load it up with plenty of apps. and music???
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Any class 6. Read the reviews for the card you want at the price you want.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiddengopher:
I've heard the sandisk ultra class 4 is faster than class 6 cards, you might wanna also check an a data card
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darrien13:
Any class 6 but make sure its not a fake
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMod_954:
So.. Any class 6 SanDisk 16GB will be fine?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAguirre1231:
Any class 6, should be fine yes. Especially SanDisk, you know it's not fake if they made it
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMod_954:
Alright, I just bought a SanDisk 8GB Class 6. I hope it works well ..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoomBoomPOW:
I'm also planning to buy a class 6 microsd card. I found this item on amazon, good deal? a fake? buy it now?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAguirre1231:
That pic says class 4...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoomBoomPOW:
It does huh, good eye mate! I was already punching in my credit card info. :)

Update: Okay, I found this one, seems legit, and pic say class 6. :p
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMod_954:
Ehh .. Transcend?

I won my 8GB SanDisk Class 6 on eBay just a of couple hours ago for $28 shipped (brand new with everything included). Maybe you should check around there and see if another deal comes up ...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoomBoomPOW:
What's wrong with Transcend? SanDisk must be superior judging by your reaction.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
This is better 8GB class 6 19 bux

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoomBoomPOW:
Guaranteed write speed of at least 6MB/s - Is that decent?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Its a class 6 so yeah it should get that.

This one you posted is class 6 the pics are of a class 4.Amazon type as usual

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t..._shr?_encoding=UTF8&m=A1J7WSBJHTGUFA&v=glance

You can change the size that you want to buy of the card.

Just be sure to get Sandisk, adata or transend i think those are the best but a Ultra Sandisk is even better.

Sandisks:

http://www.amazon.com/s/qid=1263874...s=electronics&field-keywords=sandisk micro sd
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMod_954:
Umm.. Who are these manufacturers? I would stick with SanDisk. I rather have top notch quality, especially if it's only an extra $10 bucks (max).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoomBoomPOW:
Yeah, Amazon does that a lot, I can't complain though..they gave me a free 1 month Prime membership and also no tax on most merchandise.

And thanks for the advice, I will consider an Ultra SanDisk. But I'm having difficulty finding "SanDisk 8GB Ultra MicroSDHC Class 6" on most shopping sites. 4GB and 16GB mostly shows up or other brands such as A-Data and TranScend but no 8GB Ultra Class 6 for SanDisk. I will keep looking.

Is there an app that allows me to use my G1 as a bluetooth keyboard?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] djromeo:
Hi,

Ever since i upgraded to Xperia Radio 1.16, i've been experiencing a major issue with My Location function on multiple roms...it does not seem to update...does anyone have a solution for this or any troubleshooting ideas?

I tried the following:

- reflashed the old 1.14 and reflashed different roms...PROBLEM EXISTED

- reflashed the default spl and did a sony rom update to default rom, then reflashed spl and reflashed different roms...PROBLEM EXISTED.

- tried using googlemaps on each rom and then used My Location...PROBLEM EXISTED

- tried enabling/disabling My Location....PROBLEM EXISTED

- tried enabling aGPS/disabling aGPS....PROBLEM EXISTED

- tried combination both 1.16 + 1.14 rilphone....PROBLEM EXISTED

- tried adding my home town in my location and tried updating, it updates only the towns i put and not the My Location one....which i think is using data to update and my location uses either gps or agps....PROBLEM EXISTED

I think its either i fried something in the firmware where the aGPS is located...or since i flashed the radio without unlocking the xperia it might have corrupted it ?? Do we need to unlock the xperia before updating the radio?

Any one with ideas, please?

Thanks.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Jonny4911:
state which ROMs your having the problem with, i don't believe you have to unlock your phone. and if all your other "phone" functions work then i don't think the radio is your problem. also do you hard reset after each ROM flash? try that too. is this only over Data connection or is it via wi-fi too etc.

:D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] djromeo:
Sorry,

I've tried the following roms, with a hard reset even sometimes i did it twice.

Valkyrie v.5.5 21889 & 21885

EnergyRom Leo & Phoenix both 21889

Touch-IT BL Landscape 21889

I thought it was only with these new versions (21889) and tried a rom (EnergyRom Phoenix 21885 Dec 14th) which i had My Location working before the radio update the first time...it was working fine....but now i am using it on a daily basis and it has this problem, it just wont update...only rarely if i play around with settings and reset the xperia, it might work but 85% time it fails....:(

All other functions work...

i have not tried it over Wifi...i have 6GB data plan on Rogers Wireless Canada...it use to work with it on this same rom with radio 1.14, which is what i am on now....i never went back to 1.16 after the problem started!

thx for your help....:)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] deepthroat:
have you started google maps service for once? my location is part of google service, once you connect gsm to your provider, run google maps, click to agree their terms and condition, you are set.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] djromeo:
yeah i did...tried that long time ago because i found it on one of the threads....still doesn't connect...on occasion it mite...but 85% it wont.....how does the My Location pull the information data? or aGPS? or GPS alone....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Haioken:
I'm using TouchX 10.9.1 "Nuts!", which supports the my location service. I'm having no trouble at all with the location service with radio version 1.16.25.48, so I would suggest your problem exists elsewhere.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] deepthroat:
what i thought is that once you connect to gsm provider, it will give your bts location which this info then fed to google maps service, hence weather info on that location. If you're going somewhere, weather info will be updated based on where your position at that time.

But i might be wrong ...try it - it is important that you click to agree during google map service setup.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] djromeo:
yeah....i flashed the ROM then did a hard reset...then waited until the Connection wizard finished....then went to Googlemaps...agreed to all the information...even used gps function to locate me on the map. Then closed it and went to weather tab and hit update....it just updates the default cities and fails on My Location....:(.

I did not try WM 6.1 Roms just because i dont like it...but if it works on it i might try it later...and let you know...thank you for the information :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Haioken:
Not a fan of 6.1? Personally I find 6.5.x to be comparatively unstable (After trying various roms, valkyrie, touch-it BL LS, etc, after recieving multiple crashes and/or reboots per day. MrRusch's TouchX 10.9.1 "Nuts!" is stable beyond any reasonable expectation, it's fast, and it's freakin' sexy.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] 8SE8:
Exact same problem started occuring for me just after midnight yesterday. Everything was working fine beforehand. I am using 1.16 /1.14 DLL and Valkyrie 5.5 23518
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] rt34:
Same problem with 3G, fine with GPRS/EDGE
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] djromeo:
same problem in Touch X Nuts version with WM 6.1....the rom is very fast though and simple....:) Something to note though is that it doesn't even come with Googlemaps pre-installed and the weather update worked and then stopped...after a reset...:(
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] leobg:
issue could be in the cell tower you are connecting to. I have similar issue here - I am in Toronto, when I am at home, my phone initially thinks I am in downtown Montreal (until GPS taxes fix). That does not happen once I step into another cell tower (location works fine everywhere else). This started happening couple of months ago during the night. Similar experience to poster above. I suspect it is due to misconfigured stuff in the cell tower that serves me.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] djromeo:
ok..i think its true about this tower problem...its been happening recently as well ever since Rogers started using HSDPA for their data connections in Ontario....i live in Hamilton Ontario....whenever i update using HSDPA i SOMETIMES get MY Location to point to ONTARIO but never to Hamilton..but on trying the above users tip (Switching to EDGE/GPRS) it seems to work 100% of the time with 100% accuracy...it says Hamilton...i just cant use EDGE here because its killing my battery....anyone have a solution to turn off EDGE like you can turn HSDPA off in the tweaks...i tried using the registry hack & tweaking using HD Tweak but neither work.....:(

Thank you guys for solving this issue...i hope ROGERS fixes their tower issue or we get an update to our phones that can make it work with HSDPA...:)

THX :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] dogans:
I'm gonna suggest something, thats probably been tried.

Run QuickGPS and get the latest satellite info and try to update my location again.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] zeroblaze:
Hi TS. I believe this is a problem that exist in WM6.5.3 ROMs... I tested a few and I was facing the same problem as u. Once I reverted back to older roms... my location we shown properly...
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Jonny4911:
the My Location feature, has NOTHING to do with GPS.

It uses Cell location ID that finds your location based on where you are in proportion to the Mobile phone Tower(s?) your connected to. then this gets fed into Google which gives it a location to search
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] takahe:
On some of the newer roms (Valkyrie being amongst them) you have to enable location service as it is not on by default. Just click weather tab and then menu and then enable the service.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] rob.ocelot:
LOL. Thanks for figuring out that I'm not nuts. I was alternatively getting locations in downtown Toronto or downtown Montreal for no rhyme or reason. Good to know that Ancaster is still near Hamilton and not in Quebec. :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] kirimaru89:
I am using Valkyrie ROM, and I have the same problem: cannot update my location in this ROM via GPRS or 3G, but I can still suft Web smoothly via 3g or GPRS and update location via Wifi.

Can anyone solve this problem?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] caliban2:
yeah - google can. (since it's working via wifi for you)

this function is working on a database of cell towers (where they are). same goes for wifi, btw. now either the database is not working correctly at the moment. or your provider changed something on the celltowers (new ones, different id) -> the database will be off until it's corrected.

i'm in austria, it works 99% of the time - but sometimes i'm located in macedonia or greeze... "hicups". ^^

my wlan at home is normally found with an accuracy of 100 meters, but for two weeks it was only within 1700 meters and is back to 100 again now.
