Hi all,

I tried searching the forums for this particular weirdness but could find it.

I recieved my HD2 last week and had the crackling ear piece problem, with no help from T-Mobile i decided to flash the device with the latest HTC Rom it corrected the problem and everything is working fine.

There is one little thing i have noticed though which is weird, when booting the phone for the first time when it had the TMO rom it gave me a pre-setup application or firstboot application whatever you want to call it.

With the new HTC rom it doesnt give me this when i hard reset is this normal?

Thing is when i turn off the phone for a brief moment it shows the same setup application as running in the background?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
switch teh phone into airplane mode and you should find the background app comes to teh front and you can complete it.
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
wouldn't a task manager allow you to switch to it?
[HD2 General] smittynotts:
Brilliant, thanks alot it worked a treat. I was wondering how to get it up again. Is it just a glitch then?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Seems to be, yes. It's been reported several times by people going up to the HTC 1.66 roms.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] slimjimwoods:
Hello folks, ive had a scout around but haven't found any answers,

Is it possible for me to mount my Hero via an app etc, onto a wireless network, so I can push files to it OTA?

(only locally, doesnt need to be able to do so when on a different network or 3G)

Jim
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] anarchyuk:
Might just be because you are wording it as "mount" you need to tether your phone over wireless? search for wireless tether on the forums.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] DMzda:
Try Websharing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
if you use mcr you can use scp, also rsync is available for the hero. if you don't know what i am talking about this is probably not the right solution for you (geeky linux commands involved...).
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] G8D:
SSH works for me :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] slimjimwoods:
thanks for these suggestions guys, i am in no way Linux affiliated, so it looks like Websharing all the way, might have to purchase the full version tho :)

If i was to start looking into Linux instead, would that allow me to see my phone as a simple networked drive?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] slimjimwoods:
Im experienced with doing this on iPhone, whats the process for the Hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
- get a rom with dropbear (mcr for example) or install dropbear in your rom

- for mcr find your password in settings -> about phone

- find your ip address whichever way you want (about screen, wifi router, adb shell ifconfig)

- continue as you're used to
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] slimjimwoods:
thats brilliant, thankyou- I am on MCR 3.1 which is handy =]
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] slimjimwoods:
right, im probably being thick, ive discovered the Hero is using port 2222, and discovered my ip and password, but the username for the device? Im almost there......
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] G8D:
You don't need a user name.

Generally the name will just be the name you want to give the preset within your SSH program.

I use WinSCP and all you need to enter is the IP, the port (2222 as you said) and the password within the About Phone section of the settings app.

Also, you need to connect via SCP and not S/FTP.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] slimjimwoods:
that'll be it then, i was using a mac and some free program that would only let me FTP, I'll wait until i get home and find something a bit better, thanks for your help-
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
sry forgot to mention the port... you can set the username in /system/bin/dropbear.sh, but actually it doesn't change anything. you set the userid=0 and are root, that's it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] slimjimwoods:
a new app just got released called Onair that mounts the SD as a network drive, perfect :)

[Nexus One General] Cuda1337:
I finally decided I'm going to root my nexus. Everything seems very simple, except one small problem. I don't have the USB drivers installed. No biggie, I downloaded the 2.1 SDK that supposedly had the USB drivers in it. But for the life of me I can't freaking find them.

As I understand it they should be located at :

C:\AndroidSDK\USB driver\

Unfortunately, inside AndroidSDK there is no USB Driver folder. In fact, no where in the subfolders is there one either. Now perhaps I'm just a total idiot and am missing something, but I've been trying to figure this out for the last 40 minutes and cannot find the damn drivers.

Can anyone tell me how dumb I am? Please?
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
The USB drivers are a separate download. It's way down the list of things you tick when choosing what to install.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Heh... as above, run the SDK setup and tick the USB drivers.

Then they'll be in \SDK\USB driver\
[Nexus One General] Naffets:
worth noting if you're on windows 7 x64 you'll need to dl both 32 and 64 bit versions of java jdk to get the actual sdk to run to download the drivers.

then make sure usb debugging is on, and you're away from there
[Nexus One General] antoniouslj:
Best way to get the ADB drivers installed correctly is to just install the PDAnet client for your computer. It'll install the correct drivers per your OS.

[General Topics] Biges:
Hi!

I'm really fed up with my crappy HTC Kaiser. It has slow processor, but mainly the camera s***s a big time!

Therefore I'd like to buy a new phone with there specs:

- Good, fast camera usable indoors, flash, MPs do not matter - 2Mpix is OK :) (Sliding camera cover is a plus.)

- Resistive screen as I want to have an (the?) option to use stylus.

- QWERTY keyboard.

- Probably Windows Mobile as I don't know Symbian and it seems WM is more customizable than Symbian, which I like.

- Fast processor.

So far I threw all HTCs out (crappy cameras), X2 (weak processor, expensive)... that leaves me with Samsung B7610, right? But it lack an info LED (doesn't it?) and its indoors shooting is mediocre at least (so I had heard).

So far the best mobile camera seems to be Sony Ericsson K750i (Cyber-Shot).

Any ideas? N97, Vivaz Pro look nice, but they are Symbian.

Want to use the phone as my organizer and eBook reader, not for chatting on Facebook.

Thanks for any suggestions! :)
[General Topics] freyberry:
- Motorola Droid/Milestone (Android)

Or without a keyboard, but much better cameras:

- Sony Ericsson Satio (Symbian)

- Motorola XT720 Motoroi (Android)

And to be honest, I wouldn't buy any Windows Mobile device now, cause WM6.5 is doomed. That means, no developer support etc. (who wants to develop an application for a dying platform?).

Android is the best choice at the moment, IMO.
[General Topics] galaxys:
The Nexus One camera is also awesome!
[General Topics] Biges:
Thanks. Well, Android phones have capacitate screens, so no stylus.

But I friend of mine promised me to lend me Samsung Spica so I can check Android.

Also Satio should find its way into my hand - that's for its camera and Symbian testing.
[General Topics] Shasarak:
There simply aren't any Windows Mobile phones with a good camera. :( The HD2 is less bad than some, but it's lightyears behind some of the better Symbian devices. The SE Satio is an obvious possibility, or Samsung i8910 HD if you're more interested in video than still pictures. Or you could pick up an old LG Renoir second hand (although whether that really counts as a smartphone is debatable).
[HD2 General] saulo866:
1.

This is really weird: some 4 weeks ago it happened that my phone passoword on my first HD2 self-changed , after battery went very low...Initially I though my daughter intercepted my pwd and changed, but this cannot be, since too young (6 y.o.) and she never playd with it...I used a four digit phone password: 1357

A message says: " the password you typed is incorrect" and prompt me to re-enter

I had to hard reset...

2.

some 3-4 days ago, my second HD2 went under the same issue: while battery was low (under 8%) I changed the battery with a fresh one. Then the password -self changed!

I did a hard reset

Details of both my HD2s:

(which is really fast and good, by the way)

3.

HD Blackstone

Now few minutes ago, after I installed swype keyboard cab, my third phone (a HD phone, NOT HD2) auto-changed its password!

Same problem

Questions:

1. Am I running crazy or is this a known issue?

2. Is there a Virus which is known to cause such an effect, on WM phones?

Currently I do not use any AV on my Phones. I use kaspersky 9.x on my laptop

Thanks a lot and waiting

Saulo
[HD2 General] saulo866:
one more detail: now my HD is NOT accessible anymore...so I am trying to type different pwds: the result is that sometimes the phone is silent (the message "the password you typed is incorrect" does not appear).

Some other times a new message asks to input this sequence: a1b2c3, before I am enabled to re-enter my lost pwd...

Please help...

Saulo
[HD2 General] kilrah:
For the first 2 I don't know, did you properly turn the phone off before removing battery, or did you just take it out without a ful shutdown?

About the 3rd one, which Swype version have you used? see this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=639901&highlight=swype
[HD2 General] saulo866:
well, in the case of HD (NOT HD2), the issue just happened few minutes ago: battery was 40%. I simply installed swype 3.9. Then the software asked for restart.

I did it (Software restart)

Then the password changed on its own...I am really scared of this phenomena, which I never had during last 8 years of using Windows Mobile phones...all this nightmare started 4 weeks ago.

Thanks and waiting for your feedback

Saulo
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Did you read the link in the above answer from kilrah? Swype 3.9 causes it.
[HD2 General] saulo866:
Yes Samuel.

Is there a cure? I am backing up my Phone and I like Swype 3.9 a lot...

Thanks and waiting
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Sorry, not read about a cure except not using swype. (I use swype, but i've no idea which version it is,, and i dont use a password so cant say if its teh bad one or not,,, it just says swype.cab.)
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
There is a cure: MTTY your phone and flash a ROM that has Swype 3.9 included. No problem.

Quite a few great ROMs do, including both variants of OzROM. I'm using one myself, and Swype 3.9 works flawlessly on it.
[HD2 General] saulo866:
Dear Donald

Thas for your advice1

MTTY: I have read and it looks rather complicated...if I flash with a Stock ROM (like 1.48) and then with a cooked ROM which includes SWYPE will it be the same?

besides: Why do I need MTTY, since except this pwd auto-change issue I am experiencing no other flaws?

Thanks and waiting for your suggestions

Saulo
[HD2 General] byronlee:
There are many reports of HD2s suddenly "forget" the password in this Forum but the actual cause(s) is still unknown. Some said it's bcoz of Swype, whereas for me it happened after resetting for a registry tweak but pretty sure that it's a bug/problem related to the WinMo phone lock. Now I've switched to S2U2 lock which works fine so far (still with Swype in my HD2).
[HD2 General] saulo866:
Dear Byron

1.

Thanks for your insight: can you expand your feedback on S2U2? I would like to hear from you, before switching from default device LOCK 4 digit password (which would be more than enough for me) to this new utility.

2.

In my case HD2 DID NOT forget! If so the device would be unlocked. No, the device CHANGED the device lock code! Terrible. I needed to perfomr a hard reset in order to access my phone again, thus I was luck I had done a backup few days ago. I only lost 3 days of new contacts and SMS/emails.

Thank you and waiting

Saulo
[HD2 General] aff_afc:
To me this is not new. To provide a slightly different perspective, my previous phone to this was the ETEN M700 phone (under WinMo 6.1). That Windows lock-password change occasionally disappears when I either swap batteries or soft-reset the phone.

No surprises to hear that it might happen in HTC HD2, which is why I'm wary of installing a Windows lock password to it.
[HD2 General] beddo:
I've just had it happen to me.

In my case I am using ozrom with swype cooked in.

Interesting I noticed something extra that hasn't been mentioned.

I powered my phone off properly last night and when I switched it on in the morning the first thing that came up was an activesync prompt asking me to enter my new activesync password.

The password on the domain that I sync with hasn't changed. Upon attempting to enter the domain password, the normal phone lock comes up and simply won't accept any passwords - even after the a1b2c3 prompt.

So to me it looks like its not just loosing the phone password but something in the password store is being completely corrupted and only a hard reset and setting everything up again clears it :/
[HD2 General] beddo:
Gah!

It happened again! I was just tweaking the last few settings and the phone wanted a soft reboot. When it came back it wouldn't accept my pin :(

This time swype was not enabled. Installed, yes. Enabled, no!

I had an O2 XDA (Orbit II I think) before this and never had a single problem with the lock. Then again I never flashed it with a cooked rom...
[HD2 General] saulo866:
I resolved by disabling the windows default lock and using S2U2...very good applications, but not really a full locking application.

Thank you

Saulo
[HD2 General] beddo:
I'm using S2U2 at the moment. It hasn't solved the phone losing its passwords (it lost the ActiveSync password when I turned it on this morning).

It does mean that I don't have to hard reset it when it does loose the password though.

I have also noticed that S2U2 doesn't stop the phone from being accidentally turned off by the power button being held down whilst its in my pocket though.
[HD2 General] christos299:
Has anyone had problems with swype 3.9 if the phone is not locked with a PIN?

I have seen reports with passwords for email accounts being lost, and the pin for locking the phone being changed. But I have not seen anyone having problems if they did not lock the phone...
[HD2 General] beddo:
It is important to point out that in my case swype was cooked into the rom and installed, but not enabled. I have not actually used swype.

What I have now done is used mtty before reflashing the phone and the phone has now been stable since I did it on Saturday..fingers crossed as I had done everything else before including a hard reset after flashing the phone.
[HD2 General] goodfellabk718:
Edit:

i do not have swype nor did i ever have it installed. I have only tweaked my phone through the registry and never had a problem. MY phone has run down passed critical multiple times and never had a problem until i did a battery pull today without shutting down the phone. It has been downhill from there

End Edit

Has anyone solved this problem yet?

If not, if i reset my phone what will i lose?

Also this seems pretty scary; so how can i lock someone out the phone without locking myself out? I dont want a silly slidelock that doesnt secure my device from unauthorized personnel.

Thanks in advance
[HD2 General] Riot147:
the password reset is the same for he TP2/Tilt2's. i had to bootload and reflash to fix the problem

is it possible to customize the htc keyboard ?

I like it a lot but I keep pressing the "settings" button.

Maybe it would be better to activate it with a long-press.

Then it would be useful to activate word predictions in all form you want to, not just where it detects a text-form.

is it possible some way ?

thanks

it certnainly is possible and you don't even need root. i know because i downloaded a custom keyboard from the Market named SerbianIME (i needed ščž characters).

This is my first attempt at custom roms. When i connect my phone i am able to sync it with the computer successfully but when i run the Hard spl it says that the device cannot be found. Am i missing a step or setting here? thanks for any help
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
With your phone disconnected from the PC, try this:

-Open your start menu, select "settings", then go to the "connections" tab

-Select the "USB to PC" icon

-The first check box you see there will say "Enable Faster data synchronization".... you need to UNcheck that box. Hit "ok" and close out

-Try reconnecting the phone to the pc and see if it recognizes it now.

I know it sounds a little counter-intuitive to take that step, but it seems to clear this problem up for a lot of people ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Dieseltorkin:
ok, i did that. Now i get a message that says syncro could not be completed because one or more items were in use. please close all programs and try again. I have rebooted my computer and my phone and still get this message.

I am running windows 7 64bit, AVG antivirus, and have the firewall turned off. thanks again

also when i try to run the manual hard spl, i get an error 246

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
have you tried installing from an SD card, that may alleviate problems.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] InRBigness:
Install the enablerapinew.cab that cmonx puts out for exactly this situation.

Install on your sd card, run the cab, then try and hardSPL again. It worked for me when I was having similar situations.

So I need to know can are version of the phone some how unlock the extra rom like we did with the ram? Also why nobody is talking about how the t-mobile version will have 1gigrom not 512 can Xda geeks let me know Thanks Guys :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
Because it was talked abut ages ago when news first came out...
[HD2 General] Archer:
You can't unlock extra ROM because it doesn't exist, and no-one's talking about the TMO version with more ROM because it's old news and we're all talked out about it.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
No one is talking about it because we know there is no extra rom to unlock. No one cares much about the T Mo version because it will only work on T Mo in the USA, so why would anyone else in the world care.

I noticed that some ROMs with 23xxx WM builds have some kind of a new WM calendar (or something) that has a new way of entering appointments and tasks. It has the "rollers" for time and the whole interface looks different.

RRE ROM had it, NRG's doesn't, and I really miss that part.

Can anybody tell me what specifically is that thing and how can I get it?
