[Touch CDMA General] jnadke:
You can actually BUY a new digitizer (the part that senses your touch) for $10 off eBay. I'm assuming that's the problem, and its not some internal circuitry.

http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-VERIZON-XV6...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item27abf0db4b

Ignore the Verizon statement on the auction, the digitizer / phone is the same on both Verizon and Sprint. The parts are compatible. You only lose the Sprint logo.

eBay search "xv6900 digitizer":

http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_tr...kw=xv6900+digitizer&_sacat=See-All-Categories

I don't know where instructions are for replacing the digitizer, but I'm sure you can google search it. I've heard difficulty scale is about a 2.5/5. No soldering, but some moderate disassembling of your phone.

Good luck!
[Touch CDMA General] spidiracer:
I also have a broken screen. I have been working with it for about two weeks now. Your not going to be able to do much. I can read texts and emails, and I can make and receive calls... but thats about it.

As the post said above order a new digitizer. I ordered one earlier this week and I am waiting for it to arrive. I got a whole new case and buttons to go along with the digitizer. Figure if I am going to tear it all apart I might as well put on a new case and such. Only paid $25 shipped. I will let you know how it goes!

My mistake... I think my phone is a HTC Nike (touch dual in France)...:rolleyes:

I managed to assign the left and right soft keys to the volume keys (long press).

It works fine but in some menues like the alarm clock or active sync it's difficult to navigate easily...

(Moderators, do we have to move the topic to the Nike section ?... sorry again...)

aham...and where can i find ram chips so i can upgrade to 128. i am thinking of sending it to an orange shop because they have the proper equipment for the operation.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] -Jonny-:
You are asking questions you can easily find for yourself which have been repeated many times. Please do a search, or just look down the titles of the threads.

I would be surprised if Orange upgraded the Uni but if they do then let us know as it would be interesting.

Have a look in this thread RAM Upgrade should help.

Also there is a section in the wiki Shops that Offer 128Mb Upgrade, but some may need updating.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cataioan:
you don't seem to get it..i want to buy the ram chips from someone that i can trust and then to go at orange shop so they can do the operation. i don't want to send it to iraq for example and wait for it and may never come back and i would't pay more than 25E for the operation.

yeah thanks.. your community is as good as hp's one, didn't receive any good answers on any post.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] -Jonny-:
Did you read the thread/wiki? Retonex and XEL both sell the chips. Others have bought from them (read the threads, you will see their comments).

Why do i have to have a union jack?!! :confused:
[Off-topic] MikeChannon:
Now technically it's only called the Union Jack when flying on a ship, otherwise it's the Union Flag.:p

So, with the battle of Bannockburn foremost in my mind (:D) I will concede that if there is a Scottish and Welsh flag there should be an England flag.

So I will raise this with site Admin. It may take a while to action though.

[TG01 General] rocketron77:
Is it possible to have a song or sound effect as my ringtone or message tone?
[TG01 General] bib*oops:
Yes, it is: put the wanted (edited) .mp3-wav in windows file and choose it from phone-menu-settings for ringtone(somehow simillar for message tone).
[TG01 General] useyourfist:
as above said put your mp3 ect in windows sound folder

for ringtone - you can use anything as it will stop wen u answer

for text - you need to edit lenght of song as it will play it all even if you click read text, so make something thats like 3 seconds
[TG01 General] rocketron77:
whre is the windows folder pal>?
[TG01 General] bib*oops:
Use start/file explorer/windows...

Throw in your desired mp3/wav(recommended) file and you would be able to find it in phone/settings.
[TG01 General] rocketron77:
heers mate, You have a tg01 too?

Any apps you can reccomend? there all expensive on the windows app centre. Wanting a twitter one ect for free ;)

Also can i use SPB on it? Mine is running wm 6.5
[TG01 General] bib*oops:
Yeah, tg01,mate...

You can use spb shell 3.5, don,t worry about...

Look out on ppc*arez for all kind of apps...
[TG01 General] ZedEx48K:
Or use Ringo (it allows you to alter your text message sounds too).
[TG01 General] a_petrov303:
tried that on WM6.5 - for sms it works, for phone rings not.

it only displays 5 default ringtones :(

have you guys actually tried (and succeeded) that?
[TG01 General] bib*oops:
Or try to put your desired mp3(or whatever) in windows/rings folder, it's workinng...

Pe bunee...
[TG01 General] paroariax:
Or just put it in "\Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones" (create the folders if they don't exist) then goto "Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications", select the "Notifications" tab and select your ringtone and message tone from there. :)
[TG01 General] a_petrov303:
My question stays: did any of you tried that on a WM 6.5 TG01?

I did - it did not work for me; from your answers I have the feeling (I must confess) that you did not try that
[TG01 General] paroariax:
Yes. I have a TG01 with WM6.5 pre-installed. I created an mp3 ringtone and put it in "\Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones". I went to "Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications", selected the "Notifications" tab, and used the combo boxes to select my mp3 as the main ringtone. My ringtone appeared in the list no problems.
[TG01 General] useyourfist:
sorry dupe post
[TG01 General] useyourfist:
sorry misinformed you put it in

application data/sounds

and all should work fine
[TG01 General] a_petrov303:
many thanks for bearing with me through this hard (for me) task :o

after little experience and trial on my own (this is my very first WM device) I managed to put them in \windows\Rings - this works fine.

but, if you are saying that you can put them on the Storage card, I would rather go your way to save space on the phone (my mp3 are quite large)...

now the next logical step is to have different rings for different contacts - there is no indication how to do this...and YES I have read the whole user manual
[TG01 General] a_petrov303:
yes this works as well - many thanks!
[TG01 General] bib*oops:
Thank youuu...
[TG01 General] a_petrov303:
:D thank you and sorry for noob questions...do you know if it is possible to have different tones for different contacts (for calls and sms)?
[TG01 General] bib*oops:
The way I know:

in every contact you have when you open it (tap one, tap twice on name) you'll see the row Ring tone: tap on it and select your prefferred ringtone.

I don't know for specific sms tone for each contact: never crossed my mind??!!
[XPERIA X2 General] elegalll:
hi, i was trying to update my x2 with seus(sony ericsson update service), and, when the seus finish the rom download, and start to install it, the progress bar doens't start, and i disconnect it, and now, my phone don't want to turn on.

please help me.

and sorry for my bad english.
[XPERIA X2 General] Chaosstorm:
you should hardreset ( i think that should work tho.. ) im not sure how to hard reset an x2 but i think its similar to x1

put the pen in the small hole when you take the battery cover off and press at the same time 2 buttons on the front of the device.. ( or google it )
[XPERIA X2 General] elegalll:
thank you, i'll let you know.
[XPERIA X2 General] elegalll:
nop, it doesn't work :S
[XPERIA X2 General] ring-bearer:
You could just try to run SEUS again, even while the phone appears dead. It may still be able to update the ROM. Good luck.
[XPERIA X2 General] Leddy:
If your phone doesn't power on at all, then charge the battery

If your phone does power on but doesn't boot, enter bootloader (volume down + power) and SEUS again
[XPERIA X2 General] elegalll:
i charged the battery, all the night, with a universal battery charger, and nothing, i cant enter bootloader, i can't do nothing, please, help me.
[XPERIA X2 General] elegalll:
how can i do that, if when if press turn on+ volumen down, the cellphone don't do nothing?
[XPERIA X2 General] elegalll:
no one can help me?
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
have you tried contacting sony?? explain to them what happened and ask if theres a way to hard reset the X2.

alternatively try to get it replaced. ive got a feeling that you update at your own risk so maybe contact them and say it died all by itself (dont mention you tried updating the firmware) and see if you can get a replacement. you should be covered by the manufacturers 12month warranty considering theyve only been making them a few months. if you dont have a reciept because it was from ebay or somewhere then say it was a christmas gift. if you do have a reciept then take it back where you got it.
[XPERIA X2 General] elegalll:
i already did it, but i explain everything how it was, i told him that i was trying to update th soft, and i told him that i bought from ebay, he told me that the xperia has international guaranty, and i can send it to the sony ericsson repair center, but, i leave in dominican republic, so i want to try all that i can, before i send it.
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
thats good then. i think your best bet is to get the replacement. sounds like you have tried almost everything you can already. plus if you get a replacement you might have one with the upcoming new firmware already on it :P
[XPERIA X2 General] elegalll:
yes, but now, i don't have de money for the shipping cost :(
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
they make you pay to send it back?? thats a bit unfair. might be your only option though. noone knows how to hard reset the X2 and youve already tried applying the firmware update again. dont think theres much else you can do.
[XPERIA X2 General] sonogong:
New software update

Great news! Sony-Ericsson said they will be releasing an updated software at the end of this month. I would recommend strongly going to "www-sonyericsson-com-slash-update" instead, which was announced by the Xperia X2 product manager some time ago. If you update your phone with this new official software, I think your problem will go away.
[XPERIA X2 General] sonogong:
website link?

By the way, how did you get to the seus (updateservice, not the official 'update') site to get the X2 software to download and install? I just tried going there and couldn't find X2 yet.
[XPERIA X2 General] gettingtired:
concerning hard reset try holding the "sym" key while it is powering up.
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
not sure what you mean... theres an X2 support page on the sony ericsson website. you can download the updater program and it will check your firmware and update it if necessary. the update software is the same for all sony phones so download it anywhere from the site. when you start it up thats where you select the X2.
[XPERIA X2 General] elegalll:
finally!! i got my phone back, they send me a new one!!

thanks for helping me!
[XPERIA X2 General] andres27:
dam, i have the exactly same problem as you dude, my x2 died in a soft update, the thing is : i cant got a new one from SE cause i'm in chile and the was bought in ebay usa, i dont even know where can i send it back cause the man who sold me the phone just dissapear...lol
[XPERIA X2 General] :
The only fix is through JTAG.

@andres27 - if you have a receipt then contact nearest SE centre for warranty repairs.
[XPERIA X2 General] andres27:
i see. well, i have this idea: if a have the SE international warranty in my hands right now, but i dont have any clue about the guy who sold me the phone, may i send my phone back to usa with the warranty ? what if they ask me about the seller? could they just give a new one just getting my old x2 and the warranty?

i actually have a friend living in usa right now , she could do all this but i dont wanna send her my phone until i got sure this idea 'll work :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] arabbitte:
Hi,

I installed this app and now want to remove it. The problem is, when I use settings - system - remove programs, it simply switches off the colour of the guage, the guage itself stays in monochrome.

To help this along, I have removed the battery level.lnk file in /windows/Startup, restarted, then tried to remove the app - no difference. Using Task Manager 3.1, I have looked for battery processes running, checked the registry, etc, etc. But nothing remaining looks like it belongs to TNT battery. So how is it remaining? I'm baffled!

I could just leave it there, but I would suspect that it's presence is using up the very resource it is measuring - precious battery power! Maybe even more so, because it now appears "half installed".

I have spent about 1.5 hours searching XDA Developers for any ideas on this but nothing helps. I'll probably have to do a hard reset if I can't get rid of this, before I do, can anyone help?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] arabbitte:
I've tried more - still baffled

Disassembled the original CAB, more searching on XDA. Still clueless :confused:

WTH is maintaining a status line on the top in line with my battery % remaining.

I'd really appreciate any help on this. It looks like the components removed by the deinstall only switch off the rainbow colours. But I can't see what is retained and keeping the monochrome indicator. If it's not in the CAB, where could it be?

Did the original .exe hack some data in a system file? Somebody help - I'm cracking up and REALLY don't want to do a hard reset :eek:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
How many files are in the cab? Just look those up and remove them. My guess it that there's a service .dll in there that you missed. Delete the registry key for it; re-start, then delete the .dll. It's probably in \windows. You can always use total commander to open up windows (with 'hide files in rom' selected), then organize by date modified and if you just installed the app, whatever junk is in windows will be at the top of the folder.

The other option is to re-install the cab, and when the window appears with the message 'must remove application before installation,' let it remove the installation, then cancel when it wants to re-install.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] arabbitte:
Thanks Farmer Ted.

This is the _setup.xml file in the install cab - I just opened this with zip on my PC. I've never looked at a cab before, but to me it looks like there are only 2 files - the .exe and the .lnk that points to it. It appears there are no registry entries at all.

After an install, the lnk file is put in \Windows\Startup and (when you look at its file properties) it points at \Windows\BatteryLevel.exe. This .exe is put in \Windows. Looking at the below, I would have thought that this is installed in a directory called \WHATEVER %CE1% IS\TNT\Battery Level but there is no directory called TNT anywhere. I am using GSFinder V1.99 to check directories on my Touch Pro and I can see all system files, etc.

When I remove this, both the above files disappear, as does the rainbow battery guage at the very top of the screen, bizarrely, a monochrome one remains. I have switched the phone off, pulled out the battery, waited for 10 minutes, but the thing simply doesn't want to go away. And to be clear - the monochrome thing is functional - its width correctly indicated the battery life remaining.

As suggested, I've also sorted the files in \windows in date order, but that doesn't offer any clues. I've also reinstalled ontop of it and rebooted after it itself claimed to have removed the old version. No difference.

At this point, I could have done a hard reset and have everything back and reinstalled with the time I've put into this, but now I'm kinda feeling determined to crack this.

Is it possible that I have somehow got a residual skin which somehow tracks the battery life? Or - going back to my original point - is it possible for the batterylevel.exe to hack some system data in such a way that an uninstall won't be able to reverse? I have looked and searched very hard in the registry (using Task Manager v3.1) but can see nothing.

Any help appreciated .

Gps2day

Battclock

Any ideas before I smash this nut with a sledgehammer?:(
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
You know, there's a decent chance that one of the other apps has the same sort of battery meter in it. I would check wktask or battclock (probably this one) and see if either has a battery meter option. I'm with you, I hate those sorts of battery meters, they make the screen look funky. I'm pretty sure that you removed everything from the TNT meter, as you said, there's only two files in there.

How is gps2day working for you? I tried it out when it was first released, but I was getting a huge shell32.exe memory leak with it running, so I stopped using it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] arabbitte:
RE: GPS2day. I installed it and had a quick play. It worked ok but I wouldn't say I used it enough to know is it was leaking memory. In fact, I have left it installed and removed it from my Today screen. After all my fun with the TNT Battery Level utility, it got me thinking that all these things running - or even being available in a "static" state - on the today screen are consuming battery resources. My last phone was a Kaiser and I would say its battery lasted better than the TP's. Maybe it just the extra effort to run a screen with 4 X the pixels. Or maybe its the way I have the TP configured (Touch FLO off!)

Thanks for your other thoughts on my sticky battery meter - might try to play some more.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
GPS2Day will definitely drain the battery, if you keep the gps on, but most plugins aren't a problem. I run PDC constantly, as well as the PDA status plugin (you should get that one, it's excellent), weather2go and sk today commander. It's not a major resource drain, you can check it with tbattery.

With gps2day, I could look at shell32 in a task manager, and it was consuming much more ram than normal.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] s_v_l:
Wrong information. GPS hardware unit drain battery, not application.

GPS2day takes less than 100K memory when running.

More of that memory are discardable resources - graphics objects and strings.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
Well, duh, the gps drains the battery, but if you have a plugin running that has the gps turned on, then of course you're going to encounter battery drain.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] s_v_l:
All GPS related applications with turned on GPS drain battery.

Again you've wrote wrong information about GPS2day.

Of course, I should have read your response fully - I only played around with battclock. Then, in my preparations for a hard reset, I was checking for the latest versions of some of the apps I have installed. Guess what I tripped over? In xda-developers?

In the settings menu of Wktaskl, "General2" tab, disable "Show Battery Gauge on the upper bar" :o

Type the first 2-3 letters of their name and it will show the drop down with their name. click their name and it will fill it in.

Or you can get Handcent SMS. It has an icon on the top left that you click and it gives you a checklist of your contacts to add to the message.

[HD2 General] ldx00:
I don't know if this is known already, but I thought I'd share.

I recently (rather stupidly) bought the wrong type of micro-USB cable, the one with the completely rectangular profile on the micro end. Not wanting to throw it away, I decided to file the corners down so it would fit.

I confirmed the pin-outs were the same, at the site below

http://www.leadsdirect.co.uk/technical/usbwiring.html

The only difference being that there was an identifying pin that was either unconnected, or connected to ground.

When I plugged the cable in, it automatically took me to Navipanel!! I was going to use it in the car anyway, so all in all, very useful!! :)

ALSO

Just discovered it does not appear to allow data transfer, as the phone does not show up in Windows when connected up with this cable.
[HD2 General] wibberly:
I can confirm that if you connect a 'Motorola Mini-USB to Micro USB convertor' to the socket then you will also get the NaviPanel. Not sure if it is a good thing though because it annoys the hell out of me, not being able to access my Emails etc very easily. Of course I would not be driving at the same time as playing with the phone anyway.
[HD2 General] antoniof:
Same happens when you just plug-in in the hd2 a microusb-to-female-usb adaptor (ment for nokia n85?) which i had bought to test (without success) some usb-host drivers mentioned somewhere in this forum.

I can add that it is possible to disable navipanel autostart (i did it but don't recall now exactly were among settings) and after that (obviously in my case using an additional usb/microusb adapter) the connection is fully functional as an usual cable.
