Proverò questa sera dal PC fisso a (winsette) casa,intanto per il portatile (xp) niente.... grrr...la rom risulta davvero reattiva rispetto alle altre... e senza la sincronizzazione con il PC è dura

attendo allora il cab x onenote... grazie

(vedi di creare un bel FIX si tratta di qualche driver omesso)

I'll try this evening at home (winseven), for now on my laptop (xp) nothing to do... grrr....the rom is very fast and reactive.... and without the pc sincronization is useless (for me).... I wait for a onenote cab.. thanku

(make a fix, maybe the problem is some forgotten driver)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] SPARKPROGETTAZIONE:
:( Ho provato di tutto niente, peccato perchè era un'ottima rom...

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] worldoftrance:
Salve, ho lo stesso problema pure io... Una volta installata la ROM il PC non me la vede più! Ma solo in ActivSync. Per leggere l'unità removibile funziona :S

Sincronizzazione

Vorrei montare questa rom ma mi piacerebbe sapere se sono stati risolti i problemi per il riconoscimento del palmare da parte del pc e quindi la relativa sincronizzazione :o !!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nikoan89:
Maybe I understand what's the problem: in the last version I've removed the usbtopc package because in the HD2 it's integrated with an other package. Soon I'll upload a fix for this issue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] marekaq:
ahh ok than good news for a FIX , I take on this rom because is fantastic...... (for now I used pmbackup) but soon I have to sync it with pc........ FIX FIX FIX.... lol

Salve ho anche io il problema riscontrato dagli altri utenti: il pc non mi riconosce più il cellulare. Come posso fare per risolverlo? Grazie

Hello I also have the problem as that of other users: The PC did not recognize my phone. How can I fix it? Thanks

EDIT: Ho risolto accedendo al bootloader in modo da poter cambiare rom dal pc ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nikoan89:
This is not discontinued, I'm working on R2 :cool:

For those that are searching for a fix for footprint, check this link http://www.darkforcesteam.com.cn/viewthread.php?tid=2485&extra=page=4&page=1&styleid=1 (not yet tested by myself)

If doesn't work, just tell me and I'll share the fix used in my own ROMs ;)
[HD2 General] Xzeven:
Anyone else ever come across this problem? I powered up my phone this morning to find it stuck in NaviPanel, disabling NaviPanel was easy but the phone is still in Car-Kit mode (all calls are stuck on loud speaker only and phone is in landscape mode)

Is there a way to disable car kit mode, perhaps in registry?
[HD2 General] motka:
Please help

Hey guys

I have done the same problem with the ROM from Vodafone.

I made flash ROM from HTC official 1.48.479.1 and the problem remained.:eek::eek::eek:

Ask someone what to do:confused::confused:
[HD2 General] kweiss10:
did u guys solve ur problems?

i had the same problem. my device is from germany.

so i did a hard reset by turning off the phone and then pressing and holding the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then press the END/POWER button shortly and release it. You will then see this message on the screen:

This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel. Then release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons and press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

so now its gone and i hope it doesnt come back cause it was really irritating but i have no clue why it happened in the first place.

any ideas guys?
[HD2 General] motka:
I did HR many times and error is still recurring. I made a new Flash ROM and after installing all the programs after two days its returned. :mad::mad:

Yesterday I made a flash ROM, I did not install anything and and wait if it will be OK.

If not going to complain to Vodafone.:D
[HD2 General] motka:
Hi guys

The problem is with the connector, I found that it causes a disconnect in the "disk" mode from the USB cable.

When I moved up and down it stopped.:D
[HD2 General] kweiss10:
could u elaborate a bit. what connector are u talking about and what disk?

thanks
[HD2 General] motka:
This is a micro USB connector on the bottom side.

"Disk" mode is the mode when connected to PC. You can choose ACTIVESYNC or DISK.
[HD2 General] kweiss10:
now i get it. my HD2 is in german so thats why i didnt get it the first time.
[HD2 General] benjaml:
I have this problem too!

Hey guys,

I've just started experiencing this problem too... came out of the blue when I was using one of Miri's ROMs. I didn't even know it was the car kit mode that was causing the problem until I restored the default T-Mobile UK ROM.

I can't seem to get it out of this mode now... does this mean my HD2 now has a serious hardware fault, i.e. is the USB port loose? How did you get this fixed? Are you saying I need to go into 'disk' mode? When you say you moved up and down what do you mean? Did you wiggle the usb cable?

Please help... I really don't want to have to send my phone in for repair as I really need it for work...

Cheers guys,

Benjaml.
[HD2 General] benjaml:
Stuck in car kit mode without car kit... faulty HD2?

Hello,

I was hoping someone could help me before I take my HD2 into T-Mobile UK for repair.

My phone seems to think the magnetic car kit is attached even though I don't own one! My phone defaults to landscape on the dialer, messaging and in Opera. When I receive or make a call the phone switches to speakphone automatically. The Navipanel appears.

The problem started at first when I was using one of Miri's ROMs, but now I've reverted to the standand HSPL and T-Mobile factory ROM and the problem still exists. T-mobile support fobbed me off by telling me to install HTC's latest ROM (even though the HTC site doesn't allow me to use my serial number!).

Is this a symptom of a faulty USB port? I've tried cleaning the contacts below the battery with alchohol but the problem still exists...

Running out of options and don't fancy a 2 week repair as I need to use the phone with business. :(

If any pro's have an idea please let me know. I love my HD2 and this is worrying me as it highlights to me a badly built phone... Yes the car kit is a great idea, but not if it buggers up the phone when you don't own it or it's not in use!!!

Thanks in advance,

Benjaml.
[HD2 General] motka:
Hi Benjaml,

the first thing I did was banned autorun NAVIpanelu. Setting -) - others) Car Kit mode -) and then I disabled the automatic startup Navipanelu.

Phone is still in landscape mode all calls are stuck on loud speaker only

Connected microUSB connector with HD2 (other end is not connected anywhere) and I gently move it up and down, left and right until the display switched to portrait.

For me it worked. :D

I have the same problem, I do not want to claim HD2 and then wait a month or longer than it repaired . .:(:(
[HD2 General] iandooley:
I have now got the same problem. I woke the phone up today to find navipanel on. The only way I could get out of it was to press the green call button (which left me with the phone locked in landscape mode with the loudspeaker turned on, or as has been suggested by plugging in the charger.

I did a HR and all seemed fine but then Navipanel reappeared.

Plugging the charger in sorts it but then at soon after it reverts to naviapanel.

My HD2 is now virtually unusable. I have called Virgin as I'm still within the 28 day returns period. The tech guy was sympathetic (but had not heard of the problem before) and offered me a replacement handset but couldn't 'restart' the 28 returns period which means if the problem reoccurs with the new handset I'll have to send it in for a repair that they've never heard of and therefore never done.

I can't affotrd to be without my phone for weeks whilst they investigate so therefore - reluctantly - I've asked for the paperwork to cancel my contract and return the handset :(

If anyone has a way to solve this please respond otherwise I'll probably be defecting to the dark (apple) side in the next week.

(Using stock 1.66, upgraded from stock 1.48 a week ago. Problem didn't occur with 1.48 but then again didn't appear with 1.66 until today either. No 'new' apps or tweaks done in the last few days)
[HD2 General] iandooley:
I have the same problem. It started yesterday so I did a HR but it still happens (I'm using stock 1.66 to which I upgraded about a week ago).

I've installed SPB shell which at least allows the phone to function, but as with you, any incoming calls cause the phone to go straight to landscape with the loudspeaker on, and any typing also has to be done in landscape.

I spoke ot Virgin UK tech support but they hadn't heard of the problem so could only offer a replacement handset. I declined as I'm just within the 28 day cooling off period and if the problem reoccurs with the new handset I'll be stuck with Virgin and their limited alternative handset models.

So as things stand the HD2 is being returned to them in the next few days and the contract cancelled.

Before I chose the HD2 it was a toss up between it and an iPhone.

Initially I was delighted I'd gone with the HD2 but I can't afford to be without a handset for x number of weeks whilst they investigate and repair it.

So if anyone can solve this 'stuck in car kit/landscape' mode in the next few days I'll be delighted, but if not it's goodbye HTC and hello Apple.

Very disappointed as other than this problem I really like the phone :(
[HD2 General] benjaml:
Reply from HTC

Just received this response from HTC. They seem to think it might be a driver conflict... !?! I've installed different ROMs so I don't think it's this issue...

Any one else with more knowledge of the phone have any ideas? It's not a result of using HSPL on the device is it? I've restored to stock ROM and still getting this issue. which seems to happen or restore to normal when I plug in my phone to charge using the MicroUSB cable and charger.

Regards,

Benjaml.

Dear valued HTC customer,

Thank you for contacting our Customer Support Center. We are dedicated to providing you with the best quality service and answering all of your questions and concerns.

This could be a driver conflict and we recommend to try a hard reset on it make sure that you back up all your data before the reset.You can try as well to contact the network operater to find out if they already release the rom update to the HD2 because in HTC web site there is one but only for notbranded devices. If the problem still going on after this then contact us in this line +44 8458900079 and we will send your device to be repaired.

Best regards,

[HD2 General] iandooley:
I did another HR yesterday (that was the 2nd one) and the problem hasn't reoccurred .... yet.

The phone's been stable since the HR and I've reinstalled all of the software and tweaks I had before.

My dilemma now is do I return the handset and cancel the contract whilst I'm still in the cooling off period or do I chance it and keep the handset and virgin contract and hope all is fine?

............. decisions decisions!
[HD2 General] kweiss10:
hey there,

i had the same prob but after a hard reset and shutting off navipanel it hasnt reoccured.

i would suggest u to cancel ur contract and send it back.

for the price ur paying and the phone with its reputation to live up to, its just not worth it.

send it back and make a new contract in a month or so if u can.
[HD2 General] benjaml:
HD2 going back for repair.

I'm still seeing this problem, though it seems to be intermittent, and is more likely to occur once I charge my phone using the micro USB cable. Occasionally it will enter Car Kit mode completely randomly when I'm out and about and using my phone for business which makes this phone unusable. I'd just like to warn people who may be thinking of buying this phone. It's a great phone and I love it, but this is a big show stopper for me. Unfortunately I've had the phone for two months now and I won't be able to swap this for another, keep this in mind when you think everything is fine... it could happen to you too.

I'm not happy with HTC's almost canned response of send it in for repair. After a year if this is a serious hardware fault they won't touch it. I'm on an 18 month contract so this could be painful in the long run. Don't get me wrong, I love HTC and I've had their phones for years, going all the way back to the original touch. The more advanced the phone tho' the greater the potential for things to go wrong I guess.

Benjaml. <-- wandering to his local T-Mobile UK shop.
[HD2 General] ointment:
I just had the same problem. Went away as soon as I plugged it into the normal wall charger. I think it may have had something to do with new car charger I just used.
[HD2 General] shthpnz:
You are right. That makes the HD2 do these things.

How do I know? I ordered different 'USB mini to USB micro adapters'. (By means of an adapter I still could use my old 12V HD charger). Some models did not change the behavior of the HD2, other adapters showed the features described above. An example of the latter is the Motorola SKN6252.

So it'll have to do with the wiring inside the adapter/connection.

Regards
[HD2 General] wilbur:
Thanks for this - not sure how I ended up in this situation too - I can't work out what i did...the phone was suddenly in Navi-panel mode.

got out of it by unticking the option "auto launch navipanel in car kit mode" and rebooting, but my phone is still in "car kit mode" so i have to disable the loudspeaker on each call!

I'll try the charger option!
[HD2 General] wilbur:
okay - I might need some help.

i ve tried charging with the wall charger that came with the device, but I'm still in "car kit mode" - does anyone have any suggestions on getting out of this? I'm guessing re-flashing ought to work?
[HD2 General] badley_drawn:
Strange goings on

Odd - my phone jumped into this state today, without me plugging it in to anything or being near any magnetic interference as far as I am aware, maybe the polarity of the earth has swung or something....:confused:

Did over the past couple of weeks have issues with the magnetic compass, that was unable to reset itself - could be an underlying factor if this has either gone caput, or been messed up by some magnetic interference so other time (ie putting it down on a till (cashiers desk) where you are told not to put any cards with magnetic stripes).

Quick fix anyway:

The menu / options in the bottom right screen - untick launch navipanel automatically - be sure to press done and not cancel, then power down and turn back on.

This allows the phone to function but is still in car kit mode - next hit magnetic compass, and reset the compass (whole figure of 8 pattern). Reboot the phone again.

This seems to have done the trick for me now, at the very least I can connect it to the PC again to backup data.

Hope your problems go away!
[HD2 General] cassisg:
arrghhh. Mine started doing this yesterday.

Solar Flares? ;)

I did a hard reset as well, no change. As I type, it just launched navipanel.

It's still perfectly clean (no syncing since HR, no apps, no calls) and it's still doing it.

Someone...anyone else had this? Stock Rom 1.66.
[HD2 General] wilbur:
bizarre - after a few days normal use mine has flipped back to normal again...
[HD2 General] bananarama_:
Im in the same boat, it just did it yesterday and is tilting me like crazy.

Hard reset and plug trick has not fixed it, I guess we can only wait then?
[HD2 General] fallenczar:
Your MB Is Busted.

Get it changed under warranty.

Had the same problem with mine.

Additionally, The phone would turn on the speaker-phone when you dialed or received a call.

Also you may or may not notice, but the battery consumption is way higher in this mode.
[HD2 General] bananarama_:
Bump,

This has just happened to my phone too. I have done a hard reset but cant get it to revert back to normal.

This thread is about the same issue in thread 627092 (i cant post links yet...)
[HD2 General] bananarama_:
Thanks dude!
[HD2 General] xomac:
i had the same problem, and found out it has to do with the connector as well. i bought a new usb to micro-usb cable, and the phone ceased to rotate to landscape in car kit mode. with the mini to micro usb connector, the screen rotates, which is frustrating.

i emailed htc support earlier this week, and they put out a patch on their website for the car kit mode. i had to test if that solves the problem with the connector.
[HD2 General] verx123:
My phone was doing fine for a couple of months. But since yesterday,my phone's constantly going into Navipanel it becomes landscape mode.I cannot stop it and i cannot even get it to connect to my computer via the USB mode.I've tried various ways such as hard reset and flashing to other ROMs but it still doesn't work.I'm desperately in need for help.Anyone knows a solution to this problem?:(
[HD2 General] ricardo steffens:
I´m too

I have the same problem. Real almost everything that can find on the web about this. I notices that MANY MANY people has the same problem, but no one was able to fix it. So borred with this. :mad::mad:
[HD2 General] kudepi:
I got the same problem this morning. I have installed the hotfix for car kit mode (htc site) and it partially solved the problem. I mean, the phone is still in the car mode, but it is fully usable.
[HD2 General] :
The problem could very well be hardware not software, all it takes is a slight short across 2 pins in the connector , to fool it into thinking it is the car cradle ...

Could be oxidation, could be a bent pin or bent connector in the phone, but there is a hardware switch in the phone connected to this port , that tells the phone to go into this mode ...

If it is broken you can kill the navipanel, but I am willing to bet this switch hard forces landscape mode via fooling the gsensor, so I doubt there will be anyway to fix it without a hardware fix ...
[HD2 General] kudepi:
I think that in my case the problem came after recharging the phone by a nokia microusb charger as I have lost the original htc charger. You may be right, it is a hardware problem. Still, it sounds weird that one canot turn the mode off by a software setting. Now the phone is "almost" fully usable, but still have problems, e.g. all calls are routed to the loudspeaker, which is very annoying.
[HD2 General] se1988:
[FIXED] This did the fix for me

EDIT: This did not fix it for me after all...

******

I too got the car kit problem. Found this thread and i havent found a working solution...
[HD2 General] mttddd:
im getting the same issue, ima see if i can borrow a friends micro usb and see if that fixes it. Im not sure if this how it was when i first got it but it seems as though my usb does not fully plug into the phone like 1/4 - 1/3 of the metal is showing so im not sure if i dropped the phone or something?

The speakerphone thing is annoying but i generally only text whats annoying me is it wont recognize that its plugged into a computer hence i cannot flash a new rom.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
go into bootloader, its just let me flash back to stock from there, even though when the phone is running there is no sync, no usb to pc popup, or anything.

just happened to me today,, started when i unplugged earphones whilst dialing out.

fm radio was playing, i hit send, selected number, dial, unplugged phones, canceled fm radio no aerial error, person answered and speaker came on.

been like it ever since, and yes, the external power brightness slider changes brightness even though nothing is plugged in.

soft reset doesn't help, gonna play with the power and if not hard reset.

home button has also now stopped working, hard reset, stock flash, nothing helps. Oh well, back to o2 tomorrow. :(
[HD2 General] Pelle-pirk:
I also had this problem + the homebutton was out of function. After a day or so with autostartup on navipanel checked off, it stopped responding completely. I took out the battery to restart it, but the phone stuck on the htc booting logo. I`ve tried hard reset many times, new different roms and radios ( stock and cooked) but it still wont start. Im sick of it, and turning it back for repair this week. After reading this tread where so many writes about their problems, I will with out a doubt sell it to the first bidder as soon as i get i back! Apple just got a new customer...
[HD2 General] Samwieszkto:
Had the same problem for a few days. After reading this thread I decided to take a surgical intervention and apply a drop of the WD40 fluid (it removes corrosion and lubricates joints). After that, the problem disappeared, at least for the time being.
[HD2 General] se1988:
(TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, backup first!)

First install the car kit hotfix from htc.com

I have totalcommander installed on my phone. I did a search for all files including carkit in the windows folder (search string *carkit*) and deleted all the files that popped up. (only two files wouldnt delete) Then i did a soft reset. The car kit settings wont be useable after this, but hey, the problem is gone. I dont know if im only lucky, or if this is actually a way to fix this, any way if you have this problem and this solution worked for you, PLEASE DO TELL!

EDIT: This doesnt do the trick after all...
[HD2 General] kudepi:
I have deleted the files, but four of them do not delete. At any rate, it did not work for me, the stupid car kit mode is always on. :(

Thanks anyway, I hope that sooner or later a solution will be found.
[HD2 General] BlackRhino:
It's more than likely a short between the pins (I forget which pin) but the navi program auto launches when a pin in the usb gets grounded. The phone will also act as navigation mode so it auto speakerphones it.

The navi software also disables data connections as it should only be charging and no data should be passing thru it. Even if you disabled the navi program, the phone still thinks its in car mode.

Boot loader still works normally for data. If you are in windows/normal have fun holding the cable at the right angle to "un-short it"

I firmly believe its the micro usb connector on the hd2.

I hated the micro usb connector design as it looks so flimsy to break/corrode.

I just got my replacement phone today (been back ordered 1.5 weeks)
