Hello,

I have got a prolem with my gps - when I installed maps on my HTC it had showed "I'm searching for signal", this message does not changed? What should I do to activate my gps module?

Thanks
[Touch HD General] Rudegar:
try outside few people have success with gps indoors

also stating what gps program you use would be helpful
[Touch HD General] Watt123:
I do not know if it is international application - Automapa - http://www.automapa.com.pl/ . It is very popular in Poland.

I tried outdoors and no results.
[HD2 General] geekyhawkes:
I have a vodafone uk hd2 and have been really impressed with it as a product. I have not had any luck with the supplied wifi router software, I go through the minimal setup and press start and as far as the phone is concerned the router is up and running, the problem i have is that neither of my laptops can see the router.

Has anyone had any luck using it? Is it possible that vodafone have disabled it somehow?

Alternatively so i can manually add the router does anyone have the following details that would be setup automatically;

wep in use? is it 128 pass phrase or 40/128 key?

open system authentication or shared key?

im guessing the wep index would be 1?

Thanks
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
Search .. it was discussed 10 times already.
[HD2 General] geekyhawkes:
Thats as maybe but none of the several threads have a real answer as to why some people have it working and others dont. It also seems that the functionality can be effected by soft reset which isnt ideal at all. Also i havent been able to find any of the above original settings that i asked for in the threads hence the post.
[HD2 General] xda_drm:
Works for me

Hi,

works great for me - just have to make sure that you're not connected to WLAN with the HD2 when trying. Disabling WLAN, then starting WIFI-Router does the trick for me.

Good luck !
[HD2 General] mskip:
I am on vodafone and wifi router works perfectly for me. It worked when I had the stock 1.43 rom and it works with all the cooked roms I have used since.
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
i did notice it only works with 802.11g not with 802.11b devices like PSP or some other phones..
[HD2 General] geekyhawkes:
Is that really the case that it only works with 802.11g devices? Im fairly sure my netbook isnt new enough to have 802.11g and as such probably wont see the router. Has anyone found a way to get the router visible to 802.11b devices?
[HD2 General] pagoda123:
Wonder if u have enable the N band function . I think Wi fi router will not work properly when it is enable. I did numerous testing with my laptop and iphone . When n band is enable on HD2 , Iphone can surf net thru HD2 but not the laptop . When n band is disable , device can connect no problem ..... So , to get wifi router to work , just have to stick with g band until someone can solve the issue .
[HD2 General] pagoda123:
Just to add on my previous post , I tried using WMWIFIRouter , also come back to same result ....
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
The N band doesn't work anyway on the HD2.. better turn it off.. just because there's a parameter in the registry doesn't mean it works..

I have a N router at home and while it looks like it's doing N and it states "auto" instead of 54mbs, it still connects to the narrow band channel on the router..
[HD2 General] zSpinner:
N Works

N Works. I have a Linksys WRT320N router that can operate on N only, and the phone connects fine (at regular 2,4 ghz, the new 5 ghz doesn't work). Didn't speedtest.

I tried the standard sharing prog and wmwifi router (different versions) and can only, with a lot of effort, get my laptop on the net through the BT of my HD2. I have the N tweak on. Also did the trying in range of the router.
[HD2 General] gb_r32:
Any chance it's the computer you are trying to connect with? Tried with my work computer, but couldn't because our Dells have computer to computer(adhoc) connections locked out for security. Does the wifi router function show up as adhoc or access point?
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
ok, now try and get N speed with only one antenna...
[HD2 General] aurash:
Ok Ive got a similar problem with the wifi router and vodafone

everything works hunky dory wifi router turns on, computer connects all is good only when i try and access a website i get a http error 403 forbidden message as if voda have restricted access i have no idea how this would be possible though.

Ive tried many site same result and many browsers chrome, safari, ie, firefox and opera

same thing

the strange part is that tweetdeck and skype work while the browsers don't

HHMMM

anyone else experienced this problem
[HD2 General] terrytpot:
As I'm on O2 I was quite keen to flash a new ROM to get the wifi router working as they did the dirty on us by ripping it out of the 1.43 they shipped it with...suffice to say that I'm not overly impressed with it after the couple of trials I've made using 1.66 ROM as the speeds its capable of generally fall short of what you get if you simply connect it via usb and use data sharing..bear in mind that I've only tried it twice so far and as such I may refine my opinion with further trials in different locations but as I was hoping to avoid repeatedly connecting leads to the usb socket it's a bit of a blow :( sooner or later, wear and tear will be an issue to think about.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
my findings

had a play with the router, just to see and initially thought it wasn't working.it connected, but wouldn't pass any data.

25 minutes of my best network technician skillz later still no joy... that is until I remembered the laptop has a fixed ip and default dns server address set. as soon as I set them to automatic, bingo, fully working.

did a speed test from the laptop (mobilespeedtest.com) and got just under 900kbit over 3g. winner!

The connection only shows as 802.11b, but that's fast enough for the 3g connection so no worries.

the only down side is that it's adhoc, so the wifes n95 doesn't see it..but then again thats possibly a blessing In disguise!

EDIT as mentioned by the poster below, I had three connections present, (wap.o2.co.uk, mobile.o2.co.uk and paymonthly.o2.co.uk) and the router wouldn't work on them all, though I forget now which it would and which it wouldn't.
[HD2 General] morpheus1982:
I never tried with 1.43 O2 ROM, but after flashing to 1.66 stock rom I just tried this.

For some reason I have 3 internet connection options:

1) Pay monthly contract

2) o2 active

3) mobile web

My standard connection is "mobile web" so I tried this first, and my laptop couldnt see the HD2 as a WIFI router. I then tried the "pay monthly contract" option and it worked straight away.

Now under my Notifications screen under O2 3G UK, I have two connections running, and the download speeds running the same as my home broadband due to the HSPA connectivity available through the phone.

Anyway, I just thought I would share this with anyone it may help.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aguenter:
Cross posting my question from PPCGeeks, since there doesn't seem to be a well known fix in the wild, or at least not that I can find with extensive searching anyway.

Is there a CAB or registry hack to disable the keyboard from breaking the WM 6.5 lockscreen? The device unlocks, even if the kb is slid just half an inch. This causes few, but unexpected unlocks while in my pocket.

I'm using Smart Lock 1.9b with the WM 6.5 lock screen option, but this may happen even without Smart Lock, I'm not sure. Smart Lock is broken after this happens until I manually relock the phone, though. Maybe it gets confused about what the current state of the lock is?

I have tried the registry-based HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\SlideWakeup solution from the Touch Pro, but my TP2 already had this and set to 0. Is there a solution for us Rhodium users yet?

I have also tried the imnuts Disable Slide Keyboard Wakeup.cab that someone recommended over at PPCG and it had seemingly no effect.

Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] InRBigness:
There is a cab called disable slide wake up. It prevents the keyboard, or more commonly magnets in holder making the phone think the keyboard has slid out, from waking up the phone and undoing the lock.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jonto:
OR:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\DeviceMap\Keybd]

Create a new dword "SlideWakeup" with a decimal value of 0 and soft reset
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aguenter:
lol someone didn't read my original post, did they? :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
So...do you have the Verizon/CDMA version? And you're saying that the well-known registry fix doesn't work for the Verizon version?

Because...this registry fix

is

the solution for Rhodium users -- the one that works for most people...most GSM people, anyway. I've been running 6.5 on my GSM TP2 for a long time and this registry fix has always worked for me.

But maybe not for CDMA?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SailCO26:
The above registry edit fixed the slide (magnet) unlock issue in my Sprint TP2 just fine, but I'm still running WM6.1 if that makes a dif.

For me, the SlideWakeup entry did not exist prior to the change.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aguenter:
Yes, I have the Verizon CDMA Worldphone RHOD500, and i'm running a WM 6.5 cooked ROM (EnergyROM Leo) which I'm assuming added the SlideWakeup key which does not work. :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DeathmonkeyGTX:
If you enable a 4 digit pin, the lock screen doesn't unlock when the keyboard is opened. The Rhodium's touch screen is so much better than Wizard and Kaiser's, it's really easy to enter the 4 numbers with the quickness...

Disable stylus removal from unlocking device?

Hi - I've tried this fix, but my phone unlocks/wakes when it is gently bumped, and I've narrowed it down to a gfaulty stylus mechanism. The phone only wakes up/unlocks incorrectly when the stylus is in – I believe the phone mistakenly thinks the stylus has been removed so it wakes up. It doesn't happen when the stylus is already out.

Does anyone know how to stop the phone waking/unlocking when the stylus is removed. I've searched the registry but can't find anything.

[General Topics] 8525Smart:
When I read the headline from WMPoweruser that WM7 is not going to have compatibility with apps from WM6.5 and prior, I did a doubletake. Admittedly, perhaps it was a bit presumptuous, but I had always thought Microsoft would work on Windows Mobile similarly to, well, Windows.

Or any other operating system, for that matter.

After hearing the news, I immediately went on my phone, and started counting all the apps which I consider of any importance. I have a total of 25 apps which I consider of any importance to the usage of my phone. Of those 25 apps, I consider 10 to be very important (apps I'd be hard pressed to give up). Of those 10, about 5 (possibly 6) will probably be updated for WM7, and there's a good chance I may be wrong on some of those.

Now, I've read theories that Microsoft will possibly create an emulator within WM7 that allows legacy apps to work or, at the least, develop a way for companies to easily update their apps to WM7 compatibility. I can't be sure what is right or even if the incompatibility is just a result of the OS being an early build, but to be honest, I can't imagine myself giving up all the apps I've gotten used to.
[General Topics] JRK-Scope:
Any good application coder would re-write his/her apps imo. If you really want WM7 to be brand new, some things have to be left behind. And yeah an emulator or something like WINE would work nicely.
[General Topics] crazy cat:
Not a problem for me. There are enough apps needed a update for YEARS....

So it is a good chance for a clean restart with new software, services and fun.
[General Topics] diversificationied:
This needs to be done, otherwise it'll just keep getting worse and worse.
[General Topics] 8525Smart:
I do agree with you that a developer who wants their software to have the best optimization will rewrite it, but realistically speaking, it probably won't happen. Speaking from experience of similar things happening elsewhere, the only apps likely to get updated are the apps which are regularly updated anyway.

Apps which haven't receive an update in years aren't likely to be rewritten for an entirely new OS. Apps which have active developers may still not get an update anyway because the developer may not see it as cost effective (if it's a paid app) or if the developer lost interest (free app).

I mean, hell, there's still a large number of WinMo apps I come across all the time still listed as only WM5/6 compatible (although they seem to work fine with WM6.1/6.5). Meh, looking at the responses, I guess this isn't such a big deal for others as it is for me.
[General Topics] rahulelectra:
Yeah it is like old 16 bit games will not work in windows environment but better 32 bit games are available.. but there hacks to run 16 bit games and programs so it wil not be a issue.

Also this is good for Windows mobile community as old programs were degined with stylus in mind so new apps will utilize upcoming capacitve screens and other sensors.
[General Topics] trevorwhopkins:

Who cares, as long as this means games will be nicer use the compass, accelorometer, lightsensors and gps with finger friendly fancy UI's.....and comes to the HD2 at least :p
[General Topics] FloatingFatMan:
I would take this "news" with a massive pinch of salt, guys.

One very important thing to remember about Microsoft. They have NEVER EVER written a new version of any of their OS's that WASN'T compatible with the previous version; EVER.

If they decided to do that with WM7, they would be shooting themselves in the foot, big time.

Also, remember. The ONLY people that have seen or know ANYTHING about WM7, are under a strict NDA. If this guy IS one of those, MS would already have slapped him with a lawsuit for breaking it by now.

Hi,

I've just brought my HD2 with me to the US on a business trip. When I go to compose an SMS message I get a black screen with the sense icons at the bottom of the interface.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it just coincidence that I installed the SMS hotfix a few hours before leaving?

Any info would help - as I can't send any text's whilst I'm here

Jim
[HD2 General] BLAST3RR:
I also noticed this 'black box' appearing in the sense tabs lately.

So it does seem to have something to do with the SMS fix..

Seems like HTC rather breaks stuff lately than fixing it. :D
[HD2 General] RichardC:
Yep, I've got the 'black box' too. Very annoying when you are in the middle of typing a text.
[HD2 General] amang2205:
So you only got this AFTER applying the 2010-01-14 update (Update for HTC HD2 – New SMS Function Update)?
[HD2 General] RichardC:
Yes, after the update.
[HD2 General] dattrax:
Yep, Me too. I've not seen this before. Only after I applied the update

Jim
[HD2 General] amang2205:
so... black screen after the SMS update?

well, that's a good reason to keep the update away! :)

Thanks for sharing, guys!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neel.popat:
Hi all,

I currently have an unlocked HTC G1 which I bought from eBay. I am on the o2 network. o2 do not sell the HTC G1 therefore, even with a dataplan, I am not recieving OTA updates. So, for a few days now, I have searched google inside out for ways to get my G1 up to 1.6 which I am aware is the latest and final OS for the HTC G1.

I have gone from: 1.0 to 1.1 to 1.5 (CRB17) to 1.5 (CRB43) to 1.5 (CRC1).

Now, I am completely stuck as to where to go next. I am aware that the UK OS 1.6 update is called DRC92. I have found CRC1 to DRC92 NO WHERE. I have even read I have to go from CRC1 to CRC37 to DRC92, but I also cannot find CRC1 to CRC37 anywhere. I HAVE however found CRC37 to DRC92. Which is of no help unless I have the build CRC37 on my phone.

I am aware that this post looks confusing with all the build numbers, but I am sure someone out there HAS done this update from 1.0 to 1.6 on their UK G1 manually. I am prepared to start again from 1.0 (with the help of flashing) if someone has a guide which takes a different route.

I hope there is someone out there who can help, and I await a reply.

Thank you all,

Neel
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vixsandlee:
You best bet is to follow one of the many guides to rooting the phone, then you can just download the latest update from one of the many superb dev's here and install it.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] allwires:
Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone else is having problems with emails for contacts showing up. What I mean is if you go into a contact and then slide across to emails, it should show all the emails from that specific contact.

This has always worked for me if something was in my inbox, but that makes it nearly useless unless you keep everything in your inbox without deleting it. I use GMail, so I set pocket outlook to also sync 60 days worth of the "All Mail" folder, the spot where all of your email goes after you archive it.

The problem is that while the emails show up under contacts if they are in the inbox, they DON'T show up if they are in the "All Mail" folder. I tried restarting my phone and also waiting in the email tab overnight just in case it took it really long to filter through the emails, but no-go :(

Does anyone know what to do? This would be a really nice feature if it worked!

New question: has ANYONE here actually gotten that to work?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] THE-COPS:
(Edit - I finally fixed this issue. No more bull. See latest post from me in this thread)

I have been trying for months to get Tethering or Internet Sharing to work on this device. Every hack, every edit and every .cab install I tried has not helped. There has to be something wrong with this phone.

The following is copied from another forum I posted in.

-Quotes=THE-COPS

I did the DUN removal in service menu. that is , removing "dun" from "10digphone@dun.vzw3g.com" . Restarted phone, started internet sharing (with internet sharing cab hack), and connected. Go to open Internet Explorer on XP, the page actually starts to load ..... but then stops doing anything after about a few KB of data .. and then refuses to connect to any site afterwards. Tried Opera on XP, nothing. I only get Network errors like there is no internet connection. Disconnected and re-connected. Still .. network errors and no page loads. Disconnect. Try tethering instead of internet sharing, again. Add the extra modem strings like was suggested. It dials, Error, there was a hardware failure in the modem. Try again,.... hardware failure... try again, wait......wait .....wait.... it just sits there while still saying "Connecting". 2 minutes pass.. still "Connecting". Hit disconnect... and it sits there forever saying "Disconnecting". I close out that window. I disconnect and restart phone and PC. Try again, no difference. Remove the strings, no difference. Go into modem config and then diagnostics window. Query modem, Error, modem failed to respond ..repeat 4 more times... on the 5th try it says "Success" and gives a list of usable strings. I decide to "Query modem" again. Error.. modem failed to respond. I repeat and it will say "Success" every 2nd or 3rd try.. every other time its a dumb error.

Keep in mind I tried with the stock data cable and it made no difference. And yes, the USB ports are 2.0 compliant and work very well.

In the following, I copied a series of lines from the Modem log. I used "L" in place of of the date to avoid having to type so much out.

Have you considered just tethering via WiFi? I use WMWiFi Router without issue. I just re-installed after upgrading to 6.5 (MR1). It took me about 5 minutes to load ICSInstall and WMWiFi Router and be up and running. It worked just as well with the stock 6.1 ROM.

If you can't do it with WiFi, maybe try PDANet? (Haven't used it with the TP@)
