Thanks for the help.

I'm on the Norwegian ROM, so i guess I'm ok then. (Sms update has been removed from HTC site after the ROM update came out.)
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
Thought so, nice one! :D
[HD2 General] DenOdin:
I second that. Send a mail to HTC yesterday to make sure the WWE rom update I was about to download already contained previous updates and they replied that it wasn't necessary to install them again. (It was in Dutch so that's why I'm not attaching the mail).
[HD2 General] tfouto:
what version after hard-reset?

i have a question. I had update the ROM with the 1.66 version. If i now execute a hard-reset what version should i be with? 1.43 (original) or 1.66?
[HD2 General] BLAST3RR:
1.66 (if flashed officially).
[HD2 General] tfouto:
and via HSPL?
[HD2 General] BLAST3RR:
HSPL = Hard (flashed) SPL so it will be 1.66 still.. :D
[HD2 General] tfouto:
:) Thanks!
[HD2 General] UberScooter:
Greetings to you all...

I apologise ahead of time, my noobness is about to show through...

I will be getting my HD2 on the 3rd from Phones4U with a Vodafone contract and will be wanting to do the ROM update to 1.66. I am wondering about the following things:

1. Has this gone wrong for anyone and should it go wrong what is the fix?

2. Having never done this before and not wanting to get it wrong - does the downloaded update have all the tools I need to do the update? Or is there a specific piece of software I need from HTC?

3. Tried to follow this thread regarding the new SMS update and am not sure regarding the outcome - if I am on ROM 1.66 do I need to do the SMS update as well?

Thanks in advance for all willing to answer what are probably basic question - this is my first real smartphone and I am keen beyond belief but also do not want to mess it up...

P.S. Is there a manual in the box? (ROLL ON WEDNESDAY!)

Scott (In anticipation)
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
Double post - sorry!
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
Hi,

I got my HD2 from Dial-A-Phone (Phones4U) and it was an unlocked version so all updates from HTC are available. It'll likely come with the 1.48 ROM on it so first thing to check is whether this is correct. Go into Settings>About phone>Software version and it'll be in there.

Assuming yu are on 1.48 then go to the HTC UK support site and download the ROM update from the 25/01/2010. The other updates are rolled into this so you don't need them.

HTC UK Support - HD2

Now, charge up your phone and connect to your PC. If using Vista/Windows 7 it should recognise it being a Windows Phone and connect up using the Windows Mobile Device Center. Once done, make sure it says connected and then run the ROM file (which is an .exe file) and follow the instructions.

If, however, the phone is already on 1.66 then nothing more is needed!!
[HD2 General] UberScooter:
Excellent - really appreciate your feedback - I am, for once, wishing my weekend away so that Wednesday will get here quicker...

[HD2 General] Dave_lad:
Hi, how can you tell if your HD2 is unlocked?
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
it allows you to get the updates from HTC. If not, then it's a vendor locked serial number and yu have to wait for the service provider to tell HTC to OK the serial numbers. UK Vodafone HD2 are on ROM 1.43 and can't update yet to any of the new ROMs (officially)...
[HD2 General] nalab1:
hi! i got my hd2 from phones4u on a vodafone contract and it is not locked. i am planning to upgrade to 1.66 tommorrow as the website allowed the rom download. mite even hspl and get some more interesting roms loaded!

Hi!

I recently installed the wm6.5 cotulla's rom for 64mb devices in my htc magician. But after give it a try, I want to downgrade to the original rom. But, when I try to downgrade to this rom "OS 1.12.03 / ExtROM 1.12.159 / Radio 1.12" (The last official ROM in spanish) I cant do this because it says: Error of ID of country.

Someone knows how to fix that?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] koroczki:
Must replace ROMUpgradeUt.exe to MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Conseil:
This same problem

I have got this same problem. *.exe file was replaced.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Similya:
don't worry worry i'll help you.

but before we start, can you still go to the boatloader.? if you do then here we go.

extract the files inside your spanish rom.

it its the original rom, you should have these files:

check link: h--p://pdamobiz.com/forum/uploads/image2/CEZFF_1.gif

then, open or run "RomUpdateUT.exe"

don't press next yet.!

download these file h--p://files.pdamobiz.com/ROMs/XDA/Magician/MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and save it on where you extracted your original rom, it should look like this:

check link: h--p://pdamobiz.com/forum/uploads/image2/5EFAZ_2.gif

now open and run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe

now you can press the next button and follow the instruction properly.

by the way make sure that you're battery has enough charge, and also check your rom if its not corrupted.

i've done this when i tried Cotulla's latest rom, and it prove to me that downgrading was easy as long as you have the original rom.

i hope it helps. :-)
[Networking] rokx5107:
i have a bluetooth connection to my pc.

the internet is shared so i can access internet on my mobile.

i would like to use windows live messenger on my WM6 mobile threw bluetooth connection.

internet explorer can access web pages so the connection is working.

but i get this error from windows live.

"Windows Live was unable to establish an Internet connection. Pleas check your Internet settings and make sure that you have access to data services under your billing plan. If you need help, please contact your mobile service provider."

i get same error when trying to use windows live via activesync using usb connection.

i was able to get fring to work using active sync. but fring is a pain to use. no groups and its hard to tell who my contacts are if they change their display name.

i would just like to use windows live messenger.

how do i get windows live to work with bluetooth or activesync? preferably without using activesync and just using a bluetooth network.
[Networking] Rudegar:
never had any problems getting msg to work over an activesync connection

try

settings->connections->connections->advanced->select network

and make sure your home network is selected rather then your isp

and if that don't help I'd sugest getting a different version of msg as some of them don't work with anything but gprs
[Networking] rokx5107:
okay thanks, ill try some different versions

i have tried the version that comes with my phone, samsung i780. and the latest version form microsoft site. they did not work for me.

does anyone have a link to a version they know that works threw activesync?

How can I delete past backups that are stored in the Nandroid Restore utility? I have like 6 and I dont wanna waste that space!

Thanks for the feedback!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
Nandroid

They are on your SD card in the Nandroid folder, view the details of the folder and delete the oldest one, I tend to copy them over to my PC to stop space clogging up on the phone.

When I try different ROM's I get them set up how I want them and then do a Nandroid backup, saves having to keep starting from fresh, especially if there is only a small update to be done.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 123belly:
Does renaming the folders messing this up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
Nandroid

It doesnt mess it up as long as you do the following:

Example:

CBDMRS12-20100128-1509 Original Hero ROM

(just add an explanation of the back up on the end of the ID number, when you want to restore just remove the bit you added and stick it on your SD card.

I have done this a few times, I now have backups of most of the ROMS on here but the difference being that they are all set up with account details etc, i just got sick of inputting the same stuff every time I tried a ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ljmeli:
I can say I changed the name completely and it would not restore. Luckily I had backed it up on my computer. I changed the name back to the original name and it restored no problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] runeo:
When unsure, dont use spaces.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mouseglider:
I have root explorer on my samsung epic, I do not see Nandroid backup folder - where is it?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
It's depending on what recovery-rom you have been using..

AmonRA usually saves them at /sdcard/nandroid/ while clockworkmod saves them in /sdcard/clockworkmod/nandroid I think..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mouseglider:
Found it - it is under my Clockworkmod directory :rolleyes: I was looking for nandroid directory :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SystemErrorOne:
OH YEAH

This has nothing to do with what you guys are talking about but i found this nifty app that is good for looking around in your nandroid back ups..not just too look around but go inside them as you would in a .zip folder (if you get what i mean)

I think the charging of my Topaz is a bit strange. If I have completely drained the battery and connects a chanrger the first part up to 70% is really fast, maybe 0,5-1 hour. But the second part between 70% and 100% takes much longer. I don't know exactly but I would guess at least 2-3 hours.

Only me experiencing this?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pa49:
By completely draining the battery you are giving it a harder time to recharge for the last 30%.

Keep it on charge for as much of the time as possible and the refresh times will reduce.

Try not to ever drain it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] desolateone:
I'd say get a new battery sooner rather than later!

* Lithium-ion batteries should never be depleted below their minimum voltage (2.4 to 2.8 V/cell, depending on chemistry). If a lithium-ion battery is stored with too low a charge, there is a risk that the charge will drop below the low-voltage threshold, resulting in an unrecoverable dead battery.[citation needed] Usually this does not instantly damage the battery itself but a charger or device which uses that battery will refuse to charge a dead battery. The battery appears to be dead or not existent because the protection circuit disables further discharging and there is zero voltage on the battery terminals.

* Lithium-ion batteries should be kept cool.

* Aging will take its toll much faster at high temperatures.

Hello,

The Samsung Omnia 2 have the same problem with Tomtom Navigator 7 like the samsung omnia I900 you must use the a soft like Gpsgate or portsplitter.

But There is a new software of Tomtom Navigator "7.917" who are compatible With The Omnia I900.

Is anyone have it, can he Test it on our omnia 2 and post the result ?

Thanks in advance.

Don't have any problems with TomTom on a Omnia II

Just use [other GPS] with [4800 baud] on [COM7] and it works for me.

[Omnia II Themes and Apps] greg330:
hi everyone,

i have an omnia2 and Tomtom for I900 ... i couldn't install the cab from that version so i had to find a modded cab version for installation and then upgraded to the latest again.

i installed the I900 version fine on a first gen omnia so the prob is not the file it self... it just woudn't let me gothrough the install process on the Omnia2.

and after testing multiple hacks found here and on modaco and french forums, i still can't get TT to run without gpsgates or portspliter or gpsModDrivers.

at the moment at least i test all the hacks on IL5 ; BII ( SFR ) , JA1 JA5 roms and no positive result . i know some managed on the same roms but must have made an extra mod

For greg330

Hello

For greg330 , what is your version of tomtom i900 is the :7.917 ?

@++
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] greg330:
hello,

yes it is the 7.917 version bought in december 2009 and tried on the Omnia2 , as described, and finaly tested on the Omnia1 where it runs great.

some managed to run it alone, some couldn"t this on the same roms. there must be something to find that all make it work .

i must add , my version is an original but i had to find a 7.915 to install on the Omnia2 and then upgrade to the latest version as the soft given by tomtom would install fine ont the I900 it wouldn't install on the I8000.

maybe thats the diff, as soon as i find the direct install to the 7.917 i'll retry and leave a post. i'm iritated too by the extra soft i have to use ... ;)

[Omnia II Themes and Apps] Ajacied410:
Same here..7_910.9185 works great.

Don't use al those gps mod programs because it will drain your battery verry fast.

Only gpsmoddriver was good for me in the past but now there is a good sollution from tomtom..so update your tomtom and it will work.

Are you sure? I use TT Navigator 7.910.9192 and the satnav still DOESN'T get a fix without PortSplitter...
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] Chivas610:
You don't need any prog like portsplitter, gpsgate etc.

This is what I have done, and it work's (at least for me):

Change these settings in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\Samsung GPS Hardware\InputBufferSize: set from 4096 to 512

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\Samsung GPS Hardware\OutputBufferSize: set from 4096 to 512

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\Samsung GPS Hardware\SleepOnNoData: set from 100 to 0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Multiplexer\MaxBufferSize: set from 16384 to 1024

The rest is the same as the usual GPS and TomTom settings. I used com port 4 (and 9 for hardware), but you can probably use any other port that hasn't been assigned yet.

I used gpsgate earlier, but now, I don't have to :-D

Wow I'm impressed, I own a B7610 with fresh official 6.5 and this trick is working very well, I never saw totom fixing and workiing alone so fast (of course it wasn't working before without proxy), and even better, it seems that Igo8 and Google Maps are working better, no more freezes, and lot more sats (first time i see 9 sats on gmaps) I use port 4 and 7. With 6.1 and uncomplete full internet access, it was ... a nightmare to me, horribly long fix, working sometimes...
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] Diego!:
Is there a way to get tomtom for free??? hehehe just wondering... :D
[Omnia II Themes and Apps] jh787:
Have you tried typing in *#1472365# into their Omnia2?

It brings up some extra gps settings, some of which are similar to settings that can be reached in registry but some are unique.

The main one that was of interest to me was the start up mode of GPS.

Mine was set to cold start which meant that every time i started my tomtom it did so by deleting all previous data.

This meant i was on a cold start each and every time i used it which was why it took forever to lock sometimes.

I have now changed this setting to "hotstart" and my locks are instant.

There are various other settings that can be played with and tried out but this setting alone got rid of the only flaw i could find in the Omnia2.

Anyone else getting every entry twice in the contacts list in SMS? I've selected contacts only in the options on the people tab, and i've enabled the hide SIM contacts fix in BsB Tweaks, both made no difference. I even applied the new SMS hotfix, still the same.
[HD2 General] tossero:
Hi ! Me too ... Any suggestions ? :) Thanks~
[HD2 General] BLAST3RR:
Be careful! Do not just delete one of the two.. Here that resulted in a mass SMS loss where I had to restore from MyPhone.

Open up Outlook and see if the Contacts are all double. That just happened with me too. I deleted every second contact from the two listed there and now it's all ok again.
[HD2 General] spark001uk:
Right well it's definitely a case of it's showing both SIM contacts and phone contacts, rather than a general duplication. I proved this by adding a contact on the phone (but not the SIM), and it only showed that contact once in the SMS contacts.

[HD2 General] spark001uk:
Is there a tweak in registry or something that we could do to fix it? Anyone?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
deleting your sim contacts IS the cure. sim contacts are a throwback to when phones didn't have their own phone book so all contacts were sim contacts.

the problemwith sim contacts used that if you update a contact, then restore from sim (or just as annoying merge from sim) then you end up with thee wrong details for that contact.

best to just get rid off the sim ones altogether.
[HD2 General] spark001uk:
Agreed, but the sim contacts are there as a backup, if for example you have to put it in another phone for any reason. Anyway, you can select which contacts to display in the phonebook contacts list, so why shouldnt we able to apply the same choices to the contact list displayed in messaging? Just thought someone with registry knowledge could work out a fix maybe?
[HD2 General] JuzLykToEat:
deleting SIM contacts isn't the cure my dear. People save their contact in their SIM for reasons. For me, Its in case of emergency... e.g my HD2 suddenly broke down (OMG!!) and I desperate need to call someone WHICH I DON'T REMEMBER THE NUMBER, then in this case i can simply remove the SIM card from my HD2 and slide it in any phones that i can find on that time. And I'm quite sure there's lots of HD2 users out there which share the same thought with me :cool:
