ok. somebody kindly pointed me in this threads direction after i posted about ghosts in my navi panel in Q&A

ive got similar symptoms but also a lot of strange things are happening with my phone as well. i'll try to keep it brief.

ROM - stock 3.14

cabs installed - swype, bsb tweeks, resco explorer, start menu grid 4,torch button, touchtris, spbbackup.

been a week now with the new rom and all fine. noticed a few small differences in it, slower response texting and a few other niggles but nothing that makes me want to launch it out of a window. yesterday i had 75-80% when i checked the phone. when i went back to it about half hour later it was unlocked (no passcode used) and the navi panel was open. strange as ive never used it or copilot. closed it, and checked task manager. locked the phone. checked it 5 minutes later to find the panel open again, closed it and noticed id dropped 10% in battery power. repeated this a few more times over the next hour or so. was too busy to sit down and fix it. eventually it stopped.

went out for the evening by which point i hadnt used the phone for anything else except to cancel the navi panel a few time and was left with 35% battery! several times during the evening i pulled it out of my pocket and it was on the home screen. i was even on the phone to my dad at one point for 3 minutes without realising. as well as other contacts/programs (basically anything quick linked on my home tab) so the lock screen obviously not functioning properly. locked using power button and start-lock. occasionally it would unlock straight away. sometimes a delay then it would be on the home screen. another thing, possibly not related, will find out i guess is that when i enter com manager after being on the net (wifi or data connection) is that microsoft direct push is on. the bar is faded but def on. i have an email account linked to the phone but have not set up direct push since owning the handset.

another side affect during this course was the home tab not functioning properly. using the web, texting anything. all other hard buttons worked except this. ive since charged it to about 50% and it has behaved fine. that was in the mains with a genuine htc micro usb. so quite possibly the socket is dirty. so im going to get a cotton bud and some wd40 or the like and clean it out.

the reason, after reading this entire thread is i realised the 2 yr old i was looking after yeasterday knocked her glass of water over near my phone. the water didnt cover it but there were a few splashes on the screen and some moisture under the bottom right corner.

i'll clean it now, give it a good dry and report back. but if this is related to other posts here it would seem that its not just the navi panel which has a mind of its own. hopefull anyone with similar problems has a solution here.
[HD2 General] johnerz:
You could try one of these

[HD2 General] Emrax:
for all people who have problems with Navi panel and speaker autorun during calls ,try this - use some compressed air can or,air blow and then clean the usb connectors on the phone ... I tried today and the problems are gone !
[HD2 General] theblueflash:
nice idea as well. i went ahead with my wd40 cleaning and left the phone in a warmish dry place overnight to be sure. all problems now gone. will be on the look out for a usb cover as its essential to the phone and prone to filling with dust/moisture etc.

hope this helps the many people who consider sending their phones in for repair. try cleaning it first with any of the above mentioned techniques. i know id rather try that than be without my phone for 2 weeks.
[HD2 General] CloneboyZA:
I saw the following tweaks on another thread, also dealing with this.

For Rotation Problem:

1. Run Bsb tweaks.

2. Menu -> rotation

3. Select (check) All programs

4. Options -> Rotation status -> disabled

5. Close -> Exit

6. Soft Reset

For Loud Speaker Problem:

1. Run Bsb tweaks.

2. Turn off Phone Slide Cover Option(From General Section)

3. Exit

4. Soft Reset

It works, but I modified it slightly - in the rotation list, I only chose to not rotate all those that seemed to deal with Navipanel, so message client and email still rotate as normal. The only problem now is that I don't know when it's trying to put it into Navipanel mode, and I've got to deal with the greater increase in power usage - it seems the Navipanel chews power. I wish there was a way of shutting it down completely.

Oh, and talk about timing - I picked up this problem in the last few days. I bought my phone on 6 January last year, so my warranty expires in 3 days! I've contacted HTC already, so hopefully they'll cover it.

Update: Hmm, it seems that my selecting only certain items didn't work - sms and emails wouldn't rotate properly. Oh well... :(

Update 2: Never buy a phone in one country for use in another. Shipping costs are ridiculous!
[HD2 General] se1988:
If you read this thread you'll see that there is no other solution to this than replacement of hd2 motherboard or the entire phone itself...
[HD2 General] Haldane:
All,

I had the exact same issue with my phone. Used some compressed air and cleaned out the usb contacts with a pin. Then using the micro usb pluged it in and moved around while pulling out. Did this a few times and hey presto........................
[HD2 General] vr4ce:
Hey guys, I also had the same problem

I fixed it by cleaning out the usb port using a pick very carefully (i was quite amazed at how much dirt came out) I then sprayed some WD-40 in the port and blew it out using compressed air... problem solved, thanks to all the users who posted tips!
[HD2 General] mwnorris:
I took a toothpick and moved it across the pins several times, blew it out with canned air, and now it's been working right for the last 4 days.
[HD2 General] mcmike_cz:
Same problem here... Visited my seller (Vodafone Czech Republic) set it as assurance repair - I report you with result.

If they will not repair my phone (I luv HD2) I will try to fix it with help from previous posts ;)

BTW - they lend me iPhone 3GS. I hate it :D HD2 is so awsome
[HD2 General] Z80-Man:
Yep, cleaning is the way. Using computer contacts cleaning spray should do the trick (using an air blower first could be a good idea too).

Moisture and dirt can obviously connect the pins down a resistance as "low" as 10 K ohms (it's not really low, actually), explaining the phenomenon.

But I must say I'm very glad to have found this topic, and I'll never thank Se1988 enough for the schematics he posted... :cool:

... As I was actually looking for the exact opposite, i.e. trying to have this damn Navi Panel popping using a non-HTC car kit ! :D

I'm pleased to know I'll just have to short two pins (actually two wires, I'm not going to fiddle with the tiny micro USB plug) through a simple resistor.

Once again, thank ou very much for the information you provided ! :p
[HD2 General] mcmike_cz:
Finaly my HD2 is back - and guess what (they reflashed ROM)

Problems started immediately so I used methid with "spit into usb connector" and vous à la HD2 work great ;)
[HD2 General] mcmike_cz:
Well it does not help at all.... a day after the problem is back :(
[HD2 General] Z80-Man:
The copper tracks may be oxydized deep inside the connector body.

I suggest you equip with an electronical cleaner spray made by KF, Orapi, etc. and heavily spray the connector.

The cleaner evaporates almost instantly and can even be sprayed on working electronics, so don't hesitate to soak it until all the dirt is gone... :D
[HD2 General] mcmike_cz:
BTW... is there any way how to simulate this issue? :D
[HD2 General] mohammadreza.n:
here is a little advise from my experience:

just don't do the spraying method !

I used that and guess what! spray leaked all under LCD and my lcd is almost broken too!

and after that when I returned device for guarantee they said that the guarantee doesn't apply because the board is moisturized (with water !!!!!) :(
[HD2 General] GuySmily:
Bumping this thread so I can post my solution.

I had already cleaned my usb connector to no avail. I brought my phone to my local sprint store. The guy took it apart (six? screws underneath the battery cover), cleaned/brushed out all the dust, put it back together, and turned it on. Problem solved.

It was free since I have Total Equipment Protection (includes insurance through Asurion and repairs @ Sprint repair stores).

The guy at my store seems to love his job (he knows what he's doing), but I'm not sure if all stores are like that.

[HD2 General] rockyinluv:
Having the same problem with my HTC Desire S :(
[HD2 General] silenthazz:
Physical problem

Like motka stated..the freez at the navi pannel, car mode and speaker auto on is due to the connecter or charger port failur, resetting the phone wont help, he and I were able to fix this problem by inserting the USB charger in the phone and moving it slightly and gently up and down a couple of times, worked for me and him..im sure the problem will happen again and eventually the phone will stop charging and ill need to replace the charger port...hope this helped.
[HD2 General] se1988:
I had the same problem and sent the phone for repair.

As there was a dispute whether it was a warranty issue or not, the HD2 was untouched for over one month. It was not repaired, but it returned to me. Could still see the green spot on one of the pins in the charger port, but there hasnt been one instance of car kit mode since i got it back.

I dont know, but it might have been that the phone was without power for a few weeks that fixed the problem :P

Might have been a temporary solution tho, because a couple months ago my screen started living on its own... Dont know if its related.

However, I got a new motherboard which include a new charge port :D
[HD2 General] ferincr:
Hi guys make some room... I'm coming in the boat too:mad::mad::mad:

I did that too but I took the back cover off and blew it with a hair dryer and got a lot better (you can still see few bright spots on a full white screen but it's usable)

It solved for a while but it the problem came back so yesterday I just went berserk and instead of using the contact cleaner/WD40 options I went mad and brushed the USB port with some rust/corrosion cleaner (yes I know...a bit too much but I can't stand non working gadgets so I might aswell kill them myself) so today at 03:30 my house phone rang and it was the cell calling (I bet it was either for help or to say goodbye:D:D:D) obviously I just took the batt off and went back to bed.

This morning I put the batt on again and it would turn on. So after a big wave of guilt I took it appart again and brushed off with the conbtact cleaner/WD40 trying to rinse any of the acid that might be still on the circuit. I brushed the inside the port aswell as the circuit board and then sprayed the whole board with contact cleaner and finished with WD40.

It's alive again but don't know for how long...

Any suggestion on what to buy next???? I'm looking forward for the Edge (hopefully comes in the 3G bands I need...)

(sorry for the long post, but I needed to rant a bit...:o)

Well... after starting to act up again I decided to give it the monster cleaning job and it died (actually I officially killed) I just realised that one of the strip connectors broke.

So that's it for my HD2.
[HD2 General] se1988:
I'm going Samsung after this. Galaxy SII or Galaxy Nexus for me.
[HD2 General] ferincr:
I've been looking hard at the Galaxy S2 trying to make myself fall in love with it the way I felt the first time I saw the HD2 but it's not working so far...:(

I've been a HTC fanboy for a few phones now and didn't realised until now that this happened:o:o I feel like a cheater just for thinking of going with any other brand:p

And the most dificult part is knowing that the HTC Edge is just around the corner!!!
[HD2 General] ferincr:
Jeeezzz! My eyes hurt from all the hours spent looking at reviews and specs!

So far it looks like my options are HTC Vivid, Samsung Galaxy SII or the Galaxy Skyrocket...

Any suggestions? I can't see any very significant differences to choose one over the other so I'm inclined to go for the fastest cpu.
[HD2 General] se1988:
Go for the one with the best benchmark results, not cpu speed alone ;)
[HD2 General] ferincr:
Hi again,

First I want to apologize for all the frantic posting I've been doing lately I totally freaked out because I need the phone and there is no way I can get anything decent where I live so my only chances are to get one when I go to the US and that normally happens once or twice a year.

Now after few days of trying to find my next phone (not 100% successful there) and a bit more calm I decided that it might be worth to try to also save my T9193 even though if only to have it as a second phone.

So, basically it started suffering from these stuck symptoms but got agravated by my panic and lack of skills.

So @ GuySmily...

Do you think the guy at your repair shop would take the challenge?

Or anybody else knows if there is any place in the US (like an ubber repair shop) to send it to get a quote and try to salvage it.

I broke a few bits (like a connector stripe, the volume switch) but nothing of the big things (at least I don't think so...) the phone still turn on...

But it's a job for somebody that enjoys their job, not a standard uncover and blow the dust off job.

I guess it could even be possible to get a used or broken T8585 on the web to use as a donor???? Or give it up?

What do you guys think?

I'm amazed that nobody offers the T9193 any more, well at least not at a decent price. There's only one shop "claiming" that they have it @ $399 but after reading the reviews for the shop doesn't look like they are people to give them my money and hope they are going to do the right thing in the short time I spend in the US

Thanks again,

Fernando

Hello;

I use CERegEditor (0.0.5.2) on my PC (XP SP3).

I have “prohibitions” to modify certain values.

I do not use “TomTom”, “RSS”, ”FaceBook”, “Messenger” and I would, in the “ModuleName” and “Whitelist” registers, replace them by “Explorer”, “GoogleMaps”, “StartMenu”, “Lock” to be able to use the standard “screen rotation”.

I cannot modify the name (example: to replace Value name: TomTom by Explorer) in the ModuleName register. Nothing happen!!!!!!!

Which Register Editor I must use, on my PC, to be able to this kind of modification?

Or what is “the process to do what I want” whith CERegEditor ?

Many thanks

Paterr:):cool:
[HD2 General] smuppy:
Guys, you seriously need to...

...learn how to search before you post.

1. Connect your device to your computer, check for green ActiveSync-symbol.

2. Open CeRegEdit.

3. Connect to your device (F1, "Connect" or the leftmost icon)

4. Click on the "Tools"-menu.

5. Click "Unlock registry".

6. Accept running the application on your device (check your device) if you havent tweaked it to allow unsigned applications to run.

7. DONE!

Go hack the reg...

[Edit]

Did I understand your question correctly? If not, then I appologize.

Tell me what values you want to change into what and where they are located, the whole path please.

I recently bought NBA League Pass Mobile on my droid and realized that every local games are blacked out. I just wanted to know if anybody is currently working for a patch to bypass the location check so we can watch all of the local games.
[Android Apps and Games] Burko:
This is something that could be very useful in the future for other app restrictions too.

I'm no dev, but I can't see this being to much work to make a location faker app?
[Android Apps and Games] Flandro:
Looks like it's been done for the iPhone.

http://www.coderetard.com/2010/01/19/how-to-remove-nba-league-pass-restrictions-on-iphone/

Come on devs, I'd donate to whoever figured this out.
[Android Apps and Games] zelpus:
Yeah that's really the only reason I didn't purchase it. I hope someone solves this issue.
[Android Apps and Games] reycat:
I actually bought it using some, ahem, workarounds (I don't live in the US) because I really want to support it. I have ILP in my computer, and League Pass in my iPhone (which is now my wife's and where the League Pass now works).

I'd gladly donate to whoever fixed this. I'm even willing to donate before actually having the solution (the guys who did it for the iPhone wouldn't accept donations, so I've 20 bucks I've already said good buy to).
[Android Apps and Games] Z!L0G80:
send me this app via PM i take a look on ,but i promise nothing :)
[Android Apps and Games] Z!L0G80:
hi ihave received copy of that game but is without classes.dex file in .apk if someone has full or can deodex .odex send it me via PM thnx
[Android Apps and Games] SS2006:
ANy updates?

I see its been done on the iPhone

I'll glady play anything
[Android Apps and Games] Z!L0G80:
if i can decompile lua scripts used in this then it can be cracked,but no luck now :/
[Android Apps and Games] SS2006:
I meant glady "pay" anything (donate) sorry

Would you like the APK file, I have it

I guess its just some code that gets it to check the location now if only there was a program that can fake our phones location..
[Android Apps and Games] SS2006:
Under Application settings

then Development

there is

ALLOW MOCK SETTINGS

I thin its used by developers when making gps apps etc.. to test different locations compared to the real location

Now that sounds useful for this situation!
[Android Apps and Games] lippstuh:
any updates?
[Android Apps and Games] SS2006:
boo

i phone dev wins again :(
[Android Apps and Games] Z!L0G80:
sorry no luaj decompiler - no progress :/
[Android Apps and Games] SS2006:
instad of playing with the app itself

can something be done to jus tmake the phone report a different location? (during the wifi check for locaton) thats when it happens
[Android Apps and Games] drake1:
This really needs to get hacked!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] eboy44:
bump...any updates with this?
[Android Apps and Games] SS2006:

I REALLY need some assistance, think I screwed my phone, really want to avoid a hard wipe.

I installed Lockbot the other day, has some issues with dual lock layers (i.e. the lockbot app wasn't disabling my HTC lock so I had two unlocks.). emailed dev and he sent me a beta version to hopefully correct issue. I only received an apk file from him.

FYI I am on fresh 1.1, rooted.

I used the kitchen to puch this file: "LockBotPro_1.10.0_beta.apk" to /system/app.

The install went successfully, but later after a reboot I face a HUGE issue. The lockbot app is hanging upon reboot and will not unlock. At first I thought i would still be okay, I had ATK and Advanced Task manager both running at start up, so I can enter both of them through my notification drop down menu. I used both to kill the task-to no avail it is still locked. I tried to use advanced task manager to uninstall lockbot - to no avail, it cannot be removed.

Then I tried to pull back the file through kitchen, to no avail.

I don't know what to do. I cannot get my phone to unlock and i cannot pull the file off through adb or kitchen. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA ON HOW TO FIX THIS??????
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtphoto:
I would suggest pulling the battery and rebooting into recovery then use adb to cd to system/app and use rm to remove the apk that way and then boot the phone
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TF1984:
I have tried to pull the file in both adb and in kitchen. Would it have installed as something other than the name I pushed it under?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipzmode:
Even if the phone is hard locking (kind of rare of android. even in all the stupid f'd up things I've done I've only hard locked my phone to the point that I couldn't even get in to adb once or twice) then the file system is still completely accessible while it's booting up. You can use the "pull any file" from the kitchen and check off that you want it to delete it after it's done. Just get it all queued up in the kitchen and then power on your phone. Once it gets passed the HTC logo wait a few seconds and then run the pull file from the kitchen. Should work just fine for you.

The alternative (if you are comfortable with adb) would be to boot your phone in to recovery (can also be done through the kitchen, even when it's in the middle of booting) and then type the following from a command prompt:

adb shell mount /system

adb shell rm /system/app/your-application.apk

FYI for future reference you should push these types of applications to /data/app. Your hard locks could either be caused by the fact that the beta just broke things, or it could be that you have a copy of it in both /data/app and in /system/app.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtphoto:
the problem is that you dont want to just pull the file all that does is create a copy of the file where ever you pull it to you need to use the rm cmd to actually remove the file and have you tried to do this from the recovery menu before the phone boots? I mean I am by no means an expert but commonsence says that if you do it in the recovery menu that it would be gone when the phone actually boots and the problem would be gone.

edit: sweet im not a complete noob anymore I was right about removing from the recovery. flipz explained it better though.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TF1984:
thanks flipz, I'm going to try this. I will try via adb first, then via kitchen. Last time kitchen gave me a message to "post" but I didn't figure I would catch you online. Hope you're still around in 15-20. thanks for the how-to!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipzmode:
I'll be here. :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TF1984:
hmmm. I think I've really screwed something up.

I opened CMD, ran adb, here's where I am and what I have (fyi I get the same thing no matter in Recovery, boot or after normal start up)... and I use apps2sd

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell mount /system

mount: cannot read /etc/fstab: No such file or directory

If I use Kitchen to pull file: It says "Files Deleted".

Now on my Hero, after fresh reboot...

Well maybe it's okay. But now many of my apps are giving FC error. AHH Crap!!!

That app is demonic... LockBot, I'm gonna get my moula back!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipzmode:
You have a nandroid backup... don't you? ;) Actually what you can try doing is flashing fresh right on top of itself. You won't lose any settings and it will overwrite everything in /system/app.
