Thanks!

Thanks for helping me be rid of those wretched locked quick links!!

Worked a treat on my phone! So I did the same on a mates phone (exactly same phone, no mods) and the sim card stopped working. Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated!

<<!Never mind - a new sim card fixes the problem! All sorted! Still love the cab for fixing the quick links! Thanks a million!!>>

"Format not supported" message when trying to initiate .cab file in phone

Hello all. Thanks for all the great help in getting rid of these lousy quicklinks.

Just bought a new phone today and tried this fix. When clicking on the .cab file in my phone, it gives me a 'format not supported' message and that's all I get..

Not sure if I'm executing this the right way or not... Could use a work-around or plan B at this point...

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,

Scott

Hello,Glad to find you:)

I turned off my kaiser and put the second battery i use and when I try to turn it on i get a screen with 4 horizontal lines (red,green,blue,white) and I can see on the top

KAIS130

SPL-1.93.0000

CPLD-8

and on the bottom

Serial

Why did this happen?

Do you know what I should do to make it work again?:(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
I'm sure search would help, or the wiki/sticky.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] s2117:
Well,I searched and found

Kaiser_Stuck_at_bootloader

but in my case I tried nothing of these stated there,as it just showed these lines all of a sudden without me trying to change rom or something..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] s2117:
OK fixed,just dust was in the camera button,pressed it a couple of times,switched on again and everything ok :)

Hello,

I'm getting reports from my customers that one of features in my software does not work properly on Imagio devices.

Is there any way to emulate Imagio on PC so that I can see it myself?
[Imagio General] sea_man:
You could try emulate the Win Mo 6.5 and maybe check the problem without have a Imagio...

[Imagio General] devlspawn:
I will test out your app on my imagio if you send it to me. I could also possibly hook it up to VS and let you have a look via RDP if that would help.
[Imagio General] RaNo99:
Thanks for the offer! Please check Hi-Launcher from hilauncher.com to see if you can reproduce the problems reported by this user:

If so, then I can try to fix it with your help so as to finally send you the working full version :)

[HD2 General] snerkler:
I've jsut started to use the music player on my HD2 and have to say there's a few things that I'm disappointed in.

Firstly as already mentioned in another post, I don't like that there is no search function, or at least the alphabet down the side as in the contacts, to search through the albums/tracks much quicker. Instead I have to scroll endlessly through all of my music. Is there a fix for this?

Secondly, it isn't very easy to change the artwork (From hints and tips), and/or track title/artists. I had an iphone previously and it was much easier. You just clicked on what you wanted to change in itunes, change it and it automatically synced with the phone. I have a lot of albums where the artwork isn't automatically downloaded, and a lot of tracks where there are multiple artists and I would like to change it to just one. Is there a way to do this? I don't mind manipulating my files on the PC first, but to be honest I can't figure out how to do this on windows media once the CD has been ripped. I know how to change the track title/artists etc before ripping the CD, but I don't want to dig out all my CD's and re-rip them again. Perhaps someone knows how to change all this using windows media once it's ripped?

Alternatively is there a music player out there for my HD2 (preferably free) that allows you to do what I want, ie change artwork, artists etc? Preferably running the program from my PC so I can manipulate it on there.

Cheers

[HD2 General] Spl4tt:
im using winamp on the pc for the artworks, and pocketplayer on my leo, it got searchfunction too, and awsome eq, and other settings, try it :)
[HD2 General] snerkler:
Thanks I will check these out. Is pocket player free?
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
Also try Nitrogen player .. it's free.
[HD2 General] snerkler:
Thanks for taking the time to post this lengthy response. I did see the way you suggested to add artwork on the Hints and tips thread, but what a ball ache. I do't really want to be spending hours resizing pictures just so they can go on the phone, they really should be a way to do this much easier. It would be nice if they had a dedicated program like itunes to do all this kind of stuff. I'm hoping the programs mentioned above will solve my woes.

I can't believe with a phone so powerful that it pauses and has glitches in music playback, that is sooo poor, and inexcusable to me. Does that happen with all music players, or just the HTC sense one?

I've tried windows player that was preinstalled on the phone, but it won't locate any of my music. If I update the library it just fills it with all audio files from my phone (such as sat nav audio) but not my music, why is this and how do I get it to JUST update my music?

I have contacted HTC about the text issue and they tell me they are working on a fix.
[HD2 General] MandrakeMan:
Hi,

I agree, it's a ballache that we shouldn't need to do. It's more for those annoying odd one or two album covers here and there that don't get picked up or end up with the wrong covers when you request the handset to update artwork from the Gracenote database.

All these issues with the music player are pretty poor for a handset costing near £500. I should really forward my last post to HTC...

Cheers
[HD2 General] snerkler:
Ok, so I've tried other media players and to be quite honest I don't like the interfaces, I like HTC's much better (except for the fact that you can't search). I have added artwork to my media on my PC now using monkeymedia, and jukebox, but when I transfer the music files to my HD2 there's no album artwork, why is this and how do I get it to transfer without going through the long winded process mentioned above?

I DJ and do a lot of my own CD's, and want to add artwork Can anyone help? Or is it just the HTC music player that won't pick up the artwork, and so I'm forced to use another player? If so is there a player out there that has a nice interface like HTC?

I've seen S2P, but which version should I download? Theres vga or wvga?:confused:
[HD2 General] poita:
Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, i havent been able to get an answer as of yet to the following question:

Is the metal battery panel magnetic? I have seen lots of conflicting information about the panel, and most reviews simply say that it is metallic.

I was thinking about making a magnetic car mount using a HDD magnet, if it is magnetic then is it thick enough to allow the magnet to grab with enough force?

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 General] BLAST3RR:
As far as I recall it isn't.
[HD2 General] Rollmops:
Using a magnet on a computer device is generally not a good idea. Plus you'll most certainly disrupt the internal compass, if not messing with ROM/RAM/SDcard data...

I wouldn't risk to brick my HD2 in order to create a ghetto carkit holder...
[HD2 General] Spike15:
The reason magnets are considered to be bad for computers is because of the fact that HDDs (and, further back, FDDs) use magnetic heads and disks to store and retrieve information.

If you aren't using a traditional HDD, or a FDD, then a magnet will not affect your computer.

However, the point about the compass is very valid.
[HD2 General] poita:
As Spike said, solid state devices (ROM/RAM/SD) arent susceptible to being wiped by magnets. I did think about magnetic interference to the compass, but thought it was worth a try as HTC have released their own magnetic car mount, admittedly with a redesigned battery cover...

While we are on the topic of the digital compass, will a strong magnet cause any permanent damage to it? AFAIK it just results in the phone needing to be recalibrated, anyone have any experience with this?
[HD2 General] optiknerv:
whatever the point about the compass valid or not it won't work. tried it on my old krussel quick mount i have still stuck to my dashboard and i can confirm it is not / very little magnetic. would not come close to staying on.
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
I might be mistaken but I think on the one from htc the magnets only keep it from falling of the mounting brackets, they don't carry the full weight of the hd2. I have a magnet in my iMagnum case but it only interferes the compass one degree.. nothing to get lost over...
[HD2 General] optiknerv:
that design of mount has been abbandoned by htc in favour of a more traditional holder. have seen the new design on clove. maybe htc realised it affected the compass?
[HD2 General] poita:
optiknerv: Thanks for checking :)
[HD2 Accessories] enak:
Got my official HD2 flip top case today... it's ok, but doesn't clip closed securely. Fit round the device and camera is good but just let down by the catch.

Would not recommend as when it pops open, the clip tends to sit right onto the speaker and pressure would likely cause damage to the screen/ speaker.
[HD2 Accessories] bel_z_bub:
I'm surprised to hear that. althought I'm using a Piel Frama iMagnum at the moment, I really like the PO S511 Case..!! the one I have closes really good, I worried about that as well but the end of the closing/catch is just big enough so it won't fit into the speaker.. maybe you can try to bend it a little so it will close better..

I find the design rather brilliant, the way it follows the tappered design of the HD2, I mean the bottom part of the case is just a little bigger then the bottom of the HD2 and the top flip fit's precisely inside the screen, and offers great protection for your screen when it's in your pocket of you open jacket and you might accidently hit something. I liek the way it closes, you can open and close it easily with one hand and because it has no snaps it lays flat on the table and makes it about the least bulky flip case you can find.

Also, call me weird, but it smells exactly like a p-dair case when it's new, I would not be surprised if they where made by them for hTC.
[HD2 Accessories] Overlord Yuri:
I have only seen pictures of this case, and I am curious as to how it works. Is the device itself somehow strapped or mounted to the case so that it doesn't fall out when the case is flipped open?
[HD2 Accessories] bel_z_bub:
it makes use of the smart tapered designed sides of the hd2.. the sides of the case are slightly bended inwards so the HD2 slides in like a V-groove untill it hits the slightly upwards bended connectors of the flip on the bottom. althought it clamps pretty good by itself, it's prevented from sliding out by the hole in the back, that's perfectly placed for the camera, speaker and flash, and the camera kinda locks the device inside the case.. it's all very smart designed for such a simple case.
[HD2 Accessories] piattj:
I'm using the same case.... seemed v tight to start. actually it's a perfect fit, and I mean perfect... and the clip is secure without being over-tight. I'm amazed at the precision, but, being leather, i can believe that there may be variation & some may not be as good a fit??
[HD2 Accessories] micaman:
I just received mine and I am loving it. The original pouch was always a hassle to take the phone out and it was a two handed operation. Now I can quickly flip open and close the case with one hand. There seems to be two variations of this case. When mine arrived I was surprised to see it was trimmed with grey stitching. The web site I ordered it from had picture of it with Yellow stitching similar to the original pouch.
[HD2 Accessories] bel_z_bub:
it's great isn't it. yes, mine is dark brown with grey stitching while I ordered a black one with grey stitching.. (from the pictures) The one with the yellow stitching is the same as the original puch.. (at least as mine). Still looking for a black one..

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Heefy:
Hi

I have tried the dummies guide concerning updating the HTC USB drivers but had a couple of issues:

1. If I press F8 during the boot process I get an abreviated version of the bois setup which has no selection for turning off digital signing of drivers. I have an ASUS motherboard so to enter the bois I press the DEL key. Whilst in the bios I can see no option for turning off the digital signing. The instructions in the thread simply don't work.

I have done some searching and found web pages that explain how to enter the command window, paste 2 or 3 lines of text to turn off digital signing and put W7 64 bit into a sort of test mode. I have done that and have "Test Mode Windows 7600" in the bottom right corner of my Desktop. I still can't install the HTC USB driver as it brings up an error due to being not signed.

Without installing the new driver I cant change my ROM. There must be others in the same boat having changed to Windows 7. Please help.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Giblet-dono:
Ok a few things:

I'm on windows 7 x64 build 7600, I'm having NO problems, just connect your device in windows let it connect with active sync

Then de-connect your blacktsone, shut it down, and hold volume down button then press start up, it will now start in bootloader mode

Now re-connect and wait for it to get installed by your pc!

If you really DO need htc drivers

Go into your bios

Turn of any quick booting AND turn off full logog display

When windows is starting AFTER the bootscreen you'll get a screen with some sort of TABLE in it with all your hardware and all they're IRQ's

at THIS moment when you see this table press f8

Then you get a boot menu

and you can follow your guide with turning off the signed drivers etcetera!

Great Greet Giblet
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Heefy:
wow dude, treat me like the idiot I am. Step by step please.

"Then de-connect your blacktsone" - i guess you mean take out the USB cable?

I wait for it to get re-installed but nothing happens whilst in bootloader and the word serial stays at the bottom of the screen
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Heefy:
OMG

Oh my god, I am really frustrated becuase I managed to get it to work with your help but I don't know how. I must have tried everything 10 times without luck then all of a sudden it worked.

If only I knew what I was doing wrong I could pass it along to the next poor sap.

Thanks for your help.

Some options to get a new ROM on your device:

Alternative Option: Run ROM from storage card

(this requires HSPL on your device)

- Connect your phone to your pc with the usb cable

- Choose Disk Drive option on your phone when presented with the choice.

- Extract the downloaded rar and if not called BLACIMG.nbh rename the romfile to that (ruusigned.nbh is commonly used so rename when so)

- Copy the BLACIMG.nbh to your phone's storage card via Windows Explorer where it should show up as an removable harddrive.

- Disconnect your phone from the pc once copy has finished.

- Shut down your phone.

- Press Volume Down (left top of phone) and keep it pressed while pressing the Start button (on top of phone) once.

- The bootloader (red,green,blue,white screen) will now start, it will detect the new rom file and ask you if you want to update your current one.

- Confirm and follow instructions on screen

Done.

As for your unsigned drivers i can offer some tips:

- Press F8 after you have seen all your hard drives recognized in the bios bootup screen but before you see the Windows Logo.

- F8 might be set as a bootselector menu by your motherboard manufacturer, if this gets in the way of trying the get to the F8 options from Windows you can disable it in your BIOS (to enter press del)

- If you have Windows 7 Ultimate you are entitled to XP-Mode which is basically a built in virtual machine of Windows XP within Windows 7, some people have been succesfull connection their phone to that XP installation and were able to update via it.

Hope this helps. together with the previous poster's comment you should come a long way, good luck.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] wmh:
Oh lol, guess you just managed, grats on that. for future you could try the alternative option i posted, works garanteed irregardless of operation system.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sparticuz:
so I cleared my dalvik-cache this morning. first i tried doing it in RA-1.5.2 or whatever, it said it failed. So, then i booted the phone up, adb shell'd into it and did a

rm -r /data/dalvik-cache

now when I boot up I get a ton of FC's (literally, i get 2000, i counted:p) They seem mostly to be Sprint, but there are also some google stuff, and some other random ones. The reason I cleared it was to try to reclaim some free space, for some reason I'm around 30mb free on Settings->SD and Phone Storage, after clearing I'm still only around 55. Trying to find the culprit.

BTW: I do have a nandroid from last friday, but I consider that to be a last resort :-/
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wtphoto:
this problem has come up before seems the best thing to do is reflash whatever rom your running over itself and that seems to fix it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thedudejdog:
The recovery doesn't clear the boot cache. You can use the fresh kitchen it has the option to clear cache in the tools and tweak menu..

That worked for me yesterday when this exact thing happened.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sparticuz:
@wtphoto i'm running stock sprint, will reflashing it format it and get rid of my stuff?

@thedudejdog do i have to have fresh on my phone to do this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
You did it wrong.

Why were you trying to do this, and what instructions were you following?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] willowmp:
That command didn't delete the entire cache folder as well did it?

Like as in you didn't delete the actual folder, just the insides right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sparticuz:
@jonnythan

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=537830

@willowmp

no, the folder is still there and there are dex files in it

EDIT: after reboot, the files are there
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
rm -r /data/dalvik-cache

You erased the folder itself, not just the contents of it. Someone who's actually tested will have to speak up and tell us whether Android is smart enough to recreate the folder if something/someone deletes it.

EDIT: Ah, I see someone HAS tested that and Android will recreate it.

Why is 30 mb a bad number?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sparticuz:
idk, i always see people saying they have 100+ free, and for a few months I had ~70, then all the sudden it dropped to ~30
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
If you remove the dalvik-cache, you have to also remove the boot-cache at the same time to avoid the FCs.

But if you remove the dalvik-cache and boot-cache, they get recreated the next time you boot up. It will "save" space, but the cache directories will just get filled right back up.

As far as I can tell, the only reason to ever delete these caches is if you're having some sort of error/FC condition.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sparticuz:
thanks for the fix jonnythan and thedudejdog, clearing boot-cache seemed to have fixed the FC's. All except google voice it seems, but I've always had a boot FC on GV. thanks for the help

When you're in the "Contacts" screen, hit the menu button (bottom right), then choose "View", then "Contacts", that will suppress the SIM contacts and only show you what you've added/copied to your phone's contact database.
