[Nexus One General] cypher21:
I;ve bought the app, and was pretty dissapointed.

It does what it says it does, BUT very slow

I've set Home and Work on specific locations, and a default for when i'm gone.

The app changes sound/wifi/bt, but when i'm approx 10-15km away from home. It's very slow, especially if you don't have GPS on.

Also, it activates WiFi everytime when you start using your phone to check for local wifi networks to determine the location.

All this was pretty emtying my battery
[Nexus One General] britoso:
Works most of the time for me.

Be careful when you add a new spot...Don't change the radius and coordinates too much. (I tweaked my location for accuracy a couple of times and it never applied my settings)

I got the second pair of in-ear headphones (MEElectronics M9) today. I ordered them hoping that the annoying background noise I get when listening to music on the HD2 will disappear. Although there is a small improvement over the Sennheiser CX300, the noise is still noticeable and makes listening to audio books or light music at low volume very annoying.

I tried disabling the phone functions and data connections (airplane mode) but it doesn't make any difference. Any ideas on what I can do to improve the sound quality on the device?
[HD2 General] CRO_Misho:
You HAVE upgraded the ROM since you bought the device, right?

If, by any chance, you didn't - that might be your solution. If you did, maybe you should consider going to the service and asking for the new one.

My sounded bad too. It freaked me out. But new ROM changed it. Now it sounds perfect. I also use Sennheiser, but there is no noise in the original ear-peaces too.

(Since there is no 1.66 CEE ROM, I am using 1.48.479.1)

does anyone know if a touch diamond battery will fit a touch HD.

the reason i ask is i used to have a touch diamond before i dropped it one to many times :(

the thing is i have loads of batterys left over which i use when out in the sticks camping/fishing and was just wondering if they fit as i am think of getting a HD this time round
[Touch HD General] stuntdouble:
They're a different shape so no. Plus they are pretty low rated and the HD needs more juice.

Right im still posting about problems flashing, i do this because i can only flash 3 roms on here.......Dwangs roms,Official roms using official htc kernel,and Drizzys superlight sapphire.

ERROR:WRITE IMAGE FAILURE

or NO SPACE LEFT ON DEVICE

i complained to htc as before it was repaired it was fine.

HTC Have said this...

Dear McArdle, Thank you for your email. It is highly likely that your ROM chip was reflashed with an official version of our software. Please be advised that HTC cannot provide any support or advice for use of unofficial ROM versions, and that performing this will void any warranty on the phone. Kind Regards, Anthony M HTC

I have stated back that i do not give a flying f&*k about the warranty and that my carrier does not support OTA updates,still no work back

Im asking devs because it seems i need to make my boot.img space bigger or some other way to flash the boot.img.

Dwangs works,HTC works, Cyanogen wont flash but will boot. Same with eclair/Hero boots?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!

[General Questions and Answers] tacchan23:
There really isn't much to "teach"... just take a theme made by someone else and open the cab.

All you need to do is replace images and the registry entries pointing to each image.
[General Questions and Answers] Livven:
That involves modification of binaries (DLL, EXE etc.) and is a bit more complicated.

For normal themes, just do as tacchan23 said :).

[General Questions and Answers] bilbobrian:
First be prepared to screw some stuff up so make backups of the files you are going to change. Next this will take a while but copy all of the image files from your windows directory on the device to your desktop. Once that is done go through and figure out which ones you want to change, modify them keeping in mind the correct size. drop them back into windows directory, soft reset and your modified images should show. That is probably the best way to start, once you do that and have a little success go nuts. changing up .dll's and .exe's takes a little more finesse and can sometimes be really tedious, but if your having fun you'll want to dive a little deeper into it....:) If you are wanting to modify sense or tf3d ui there is a lot of information on it just look around but it is not as easy as one might think.
[General Questions and Answers] TheTmac:
so can it be dangerous ? will it brick my phone, if i do anything wrong ?
[General Questions and Answers] Livven:
No, just some missing or bad looking graphics, that's all. If you want to modify ressources inside EXEs or DLLs, you'll have to be more careful, but if you do a backup there shouldn't be any problems (you can't brick your phone this way, at least).

Open the CAB with which you install them, the pictures are in PNG format. Perhaps you looked in the TSK?

Anyway, modifying the Manila slider icons is different, you should search here, there are some threads with custom sliders, just download the files and modify them :).
[General Questions and Answers] Uppy:
all i want to do is replace the white start button on my HTC touch 2 (QVGA) with a coloured version of the same icon. Total Commander wont let me move the files required and im just losing patience, i dont know what im doing wrong. :mad:

[General Questions and Answers] Livven:
Attached CAB, only for (W)QVGA :).

I'm probably going to include it in the next version of my themes.
[General Questions and Answers] Uppy:
Hmm, thanks Livven but i installed it but it didnt change anything? what am I doing wrong? or is it my phone thats not working properly?
[General Questions and Answers] TheTmac:
but how can i modify it ? i don't know what each file does, so i can't just change it.. ? how can i know what each file does.. ? (what program can i read them with or..)
[General Questions and Answers] Livven:
Ah sorry, it's only for WM 6.5.1/6.5.3, you seem to have a stock 6.5 with Start button at the top. So you'll need to edit the shellres.96.dll, but that's much more complicated... I recommend you searching a bit.

It's just PNG, if you don't know what it is, then you should read a bit about graphics editing first ;).
[General Questions and Answers] Uppy:

00648849_manila

02df5782_manila

0391f5dd_manila

(60 files of that, but no of them are the same..)

what am i doing wrong ? or is that PNG files i need to change ?
[General Questions and Answers] Livven:
You could download another 6.5 ROM for your device and then dump it using Ervius Visual Kitchen (search what it is), then you'll get the file and can modify it ;).

Hmm, I don't know because I don't use Manila, you could search or ask in the thread where you got the files.
[General Questions and Answers] thepolishguy:
post a link to the file you downloaded. I would like to take a look at it. And by the way- you are not looking for files named "PNG". you are looking for files with the extension ".png" it is the extension of an image file. like ".jpeg" or, ".gif". so the file will be named something like "settings.png" or "weather.png". you aren't going to change anything about the file. you are simply going to copy and paste the ".png" images that you have into the file to replace the existing ".png" images.

[Touch HD General] donster22:
hi

my htc touch hd has been a bit jittery for the past week. occasionally just turning itself off or having various hangups.

I have the Stock ROM on it and have not tried to do anything extra to it.

Problem is now it has gone off completely and won't come back on. Took the battery out for 15 minutes and it started briefly and went off again after the very first smart mobility screen.

any ideas?

hard reset if i can get it started or is it a more serious issue?

don
[Touch HD General] stuntdouble:
Sounds like you need a new battery.
[Touch HD General] MasDroid:
Hi there,

i agree with stuntdouble, sounds like a hardware (battery) issue. Is your phone still under warranty? If so, HTC could maybe send you a replacement battery?

To diagnose whether it is a battery issue or not, please try the following if possible:

(1) Charge the battery to 100%.

(2) Disable from running or uninstall any 3rd party applications.

(3) Disable Bluetooth and Wi-Fi,

(4) Enable flight mode

(5) Set backlight to maximum settings.

(6) In the power management settings, uncheck any option that would set the backlight to turn off.

(7) Let phone stay idle for 1 hour and check battery capacity.

(8) If there is a loss of 40% or more, then this means that battery is faulty and needs to be replaced.

Best of luck.
[Touch HD General] Swarvey:
My 2 cents

This should help identify if it's a battery OR hardware OR software issue

* Is your battery completely charging? (i.e the light in your power button should be green when fully charged)

* Can you access the Bootloader? If you can, will it stay there and drain the battery?

* Have you tried a complete Battery Charge Cycle?

Battery Charge Cycle (As I do it)

* Turn the device off

* Attach to charger / USB cable and charge the device until the light in the power button goes GREEN

* Remove SD Card and enter the Bootloader

* Leave the system powered on in the Bootloader running from BATTERY ONLY - the device usually does NOT charge from an external source while in Bootloader - Either way, just to be safe, disconnect all external power sources

I use the cycle every once in a while on ALL my electronic devices to ensure their batteries are being completely charged and completely discharged. It is my PERSONAL OPINION that ALL batteries suffer from a "battery memory". Google it.

- This is a good method of testing, however it seems the OP can't get the device to stay on at all, which is why I suggested using the bootloader. So no offence intended by posting similar steps. (I'm not a fan of cutting another man's grass LOL)
[Touch HD General] thomaslchen:
Ive been having the same problem as well.

The phone would randomly freeze or even shut off by itself and the only way to restart it would be to take out the battery and put it back in. Sometimes, it gets stuck on the "Smart Mobility" bootup screen and I have to take out the battery multiple times for it to actually boot up to the home screen.

It's been a bit finicky with the charger too. I would leave it charging for a bit and come back to find the phone either frozen or shut off completely.

I'm not sure if I'd be able to test if it were the battery if my phone gets moody and decides to shut off. How do you enter the bootloader?
[Touch HD General] mib1800:
(mine was not battery issue). The problem is corrupt file system on internal storage or memory card. After fixing the file system, I dont have this problem anymore.
[Touch HD General] thomaslchen:
how did you fix the file system? Would a hard reset fix the problem?
[Touch HD General] Bodisson:
Take out memory card and do HR.

It should bring device to original HTC state... so yes, it should fix it.

In the meantime, you can check memory card on some PC...

Hi all,

I hope you can help me on this one...

I have tested the unlock fonction on my phone and I am not able to unlock it...

I got a ""UNLOCK received, Unable to Unlock. Device locked with Non-Terminator password" when I am seding the unlock command from my partner phone. :confused::confused:

I posted this problem on the Sprite forum but nothing yet.

Please can you help, as my phone is locked, I am really stuck... and I don't have time to flash a new ROM now...

UPDATE

After 24h I had not support from Sprite regarding my problem. :mad: :mad:

If I had to review Sprite Terminator I say it is really crap and install it at your own risk... I am an advanced user and I have done anything wrong player this app.

I will never spend 15 bucks on a under developpment software with no support... :eek: :eek:

My final word is: Terminator is really a good name for a software that will terminate your phone forever ;)

I am on my way to hard reset my phone, voilà... next time I will reconsider installing a Sprite software... :cool:

Moderators you may now close this thread please :D
[HD2 General] Kevin_000:
Well I guess it is a little late to tell you this...

Go on - get ready to slap your forehead and then say the magic IT word... "Doh! (three times) :)

To perform a hard reset

1. With the phone turned off, press and hold 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.

2. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.

3

. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset

Yup - it works a treat... I used it on my Sprite wiped and locked HD2

Sorry - I do feel smug - I got terrified when I could not un-nuke mine... then I RTFM'd the prob.

(all in good humour) :)
[HD2 General] StrangeSpy4:
The same thing just happened to me.

Try this. Enter your sprite password to unlock the phone.

Then go to Start/Settings/Security/Phone Lock

Untick Prompt if phone unused for. This should clear the screen lock.

Sprite activates this and sets the time window to 0 minutes.

It's a good idea to set your phone password to the same one as Sprite Terminator password at this point, just incase you need to lock/unlock it again.

Sprite. You may want to update your instructions to cover this issue rather than annoying

HI, thats a long review. Think a lot people are happy about it, cause it is a good phone i suppose.

But it's not windowsmobile,isnt it?

Has anybody the WORKING version of this game on the TP2???

I've the WARCRAFT 2 WVGA - Baronic version (which should be the good one I assume), extracted it onto my storage and opened the .exe. The game was running okay, untill I slide out my keyboard.

Btw, the game is tilted the wrong way, it's precisely the opposite of my QWERTY so its kinda HARD to play it lmao. If i press down while playing, it goes left. If i press right on my keyboard, the camera goes up.

Anyone also encountered this issue?

Never mind guys, I see that I dont even need to use the keyboard to play the game ;). My bad, but one thing is bothering though, if i press (ingame) the left side of the screen, it opens the onscreen keyboard (because I used windows explorer to find the warcraft.exe and open it.

While ingame it's actually using the background application aswell as the game :P If you know what I mean (sorry for the bad English). Is there a way to make a shortcut for Warcraft.exe and set it into Start or something like that?

If you need space to host your videos/pictures, let me know and I'll host them for you.
[G1 General] copolii:
My problems with the rom:

Ancient 1.5 build (let's face it, we're not getting a newer one)

Home app is not responsive after being idle for a while (I've missed calls waiting for the phone to respond to my key presses)

Home app often hangs for a few seconds

The 'drawer' often doesn't come up for the first few times that you drag your finger over it

Screen corruption when you open the keyboard (see picture below)

Many problems sending text messages

The screen takes quite a while before rotating when you rotate the device or open the keyboard (see other pic below)

The number buttons stick when you're using the on-screen keypad (i.e. enter your voicemail password)

Sometimes multiple key presses are recorded when you use the on-screen keypad (i.e. instead of dialing 2, you get 22 or 222)

Some times when you flip between the home screens, the animation stops halfway (i.e. half of each screen) and resumes after a few seconds

Significantly reduced battery life

a lot of market apps refuse to install (old SDK)

Screen corruption

This took enough time for me to pick up and turn on the camera and take a picture

This is me trying to send SMS with chompSMS
