First RMA: LCD has several dead pixels, Phone shipped unlocked

Second RMA: Dust under screen, Received locked, 24-48 hours for unlock code

Third RMA: In my possession, once again locked although I told them I needed the sim unlock code before I had it, waiting another 24-48 hours for the unlock code

This is quite annoying.

[HD2 General] DavidC1980:
Does anyone know where we can get spares for the HD2 yet? I ask because a hard case I bought for my HD2 ended up scratching the sides of the housing. At some point I'd like to replace the housing as it's the only part of the handset with any marks on it. I'd also like to replace the speaker if possible when a confirmed, crackle-free one is on the spares market.

[HD2 General] xenept:
Someone needs to grab those videos before HTC get youtube to pull them.

I'd do it but I'm not sure how!

First off, the disassembly looks like a painful process especially the bit where you need to get an oven involved.

I can't even get a screen protector on properly!

You can use Orbit downloader Grab++ to get pretty much any video from anywhere

[Hero, G2 Touch General] k2thejx5:
hi all i have had my hero for about 2 weeks i bought it used from ebay and love it i just have a problem though. For whatever reason on the stock rom and any custom rom i use i get this time stamp issue where it has my received text about 3 to 4 mins ahead of the actually time. Its annoying because it makes the damn threaded text conversation out of order. I have T-mobile U.S.A and i was wondering if anyone had this problem or a solution to it. I know of handcent and chompsms but i rather not use them since i like the stock hero sms style any help would be great thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] adamg89:
I had this aswell, pretty annoying. Plus I didn't like the fact the timestamps weren't held on the stock messaging app either, since it's good to know when you sent a certain text sometimes more specific than 'Yesterday'. So yeah, have been using Handcent which I also thought 'Why should I?', but I've had no problems with it and now its just part of how I use my phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] k2thejx5:
Yea its great i like it but i just prefer the look of the standard htc one but i might just say to hell with it and use that or chomp

Hi

Ok I've downgrade my hero g2, on t - mobile, I've rooted it, played with lots told from 1.5 to. 2.1 I found that I much prefer 1.5 for day to day use, but when HTC release the offical Rom will I need to re root it? If I upgrade via HTC, or should I wait once its been released to get a cooked Rom, and if so will this leave my phone rooted,

Cheers

Exactly. It is basic, that was the point of me writing it. So that others could easily create basic custom lockscreens and share with the communities out there.

in your contacts you can have them linked to facebook so there facebook pic and details are stored, my question is every time you want to update them i only know to go into the contact itself scroll over then update.

Is there a way to sorta do an update on all those that are linked via facebook and set it to update like everyday, cause i have to do it every so often and go through individually??

Cheers

I no that but i have to go and update manually to see the updates, basically i go to all contacts and it says stuff from like december, then i do update and they got new photo etc.

What i wana no is can i update them all at the same time, rather than going through them individually like i am now, taking me a good 30-45 mins to do??

Go to All People, Updates and Events, Menu, Settings and check "Download data automatically". The only bugbear that some people have is that it's every 2 hours and this can't be changed. Personally, I don't care :)

Also, there's no notification of changes. It's just the Updates and Events tab is reasonably up-to-date with this option checked.

Hope this helps :)

for the first time.and met this sreious problem.ORZ LOL
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] supersanj:
Doesn't matter what you did. If you can still get into bootloader then you can flash from there. Either flash a stock ROM or use mtty to flash another ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kit03190:
i think so .yet my device doest not response my PC at all'
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] supersanj:
Here's what you need to do

before

you connect your usb cable to the diamond:

1. Download MTTY from here:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=208457&stc=1&d=1248437219

2. Download any ROM you want

3. Right click the ActiveSync icon and click "Connection Settings"

4. Untick "Allow USB Connections"

5. Now hold the volume down button and press the reset using the stylus.

6. It will come up with the tri-colour bootlader screen and at the bottom it should say "serial".

7. Connect the usb cable and the "serial" should change to "USB"

8. Run the MTTY program.

9. Select "USB" from the "Port" Dropdown menu. Then press "OK"

10. Press the "Enter" key on your keyboard to get a prompt.

11. Type "set 14 0". and press Enter.

12. Type "task 29" and press Enter.

13. Hold the Diamond in your hand and get ready to press and hold down the volume down key. Don't disconnect the usb cable.

14. Type "task 8" and press Enter. This will restart the phone so as soon as you press Enter press and hold down the volume key to get into bootloader again.

15. It will show "USB"

16. Flash the ROM you downloaded using the RUU.

17. After the flash do a hard reset (volume down and centre buttons pressed then reset using stylus. When prompted select "volume up". Don't press the "volume down button as it will also delete your internal storage.

18. You're done.

one problem is left....

the ram always used above 90%hard to do anything.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mr.horndoctor:
Open File Explorer and navigate to Task Manager in the main Windows folder and click to open. Then click on the right softkey and highlight view and then click on processes.

Then you can see what processes are running and what is using up ram.

Then use an app like CleanRam or MemMaid to stop/close processes and reclaim/free up used ram. :)

I don't remember the exact date it came out, but it was real close to that date. Also, it says that the dates are subject to change. Not to mention, it doesn't even list the WM6.5 update that was released. So, I would suffice to say that this is out of date info.

Nope. Those are HTC Official roms. This would be T-Mobile specific. Officially, those roms are not compatible with non-HTC branded devices.

I was in a SPRINT store and was talking with one of the tech's about an issue with the Calendar, and he was saying that a friend of his is an official tester for the new Windows Mobile 6.5.5 and it should be released by the end of March. I just hope that he was right. Shortly after he had told me this information, he was fired for telling me and one other person this. My wife wanted and needed to upgrade her phone, so now we both have TP2's. and when Windows Mobile 6.5.5 is released, we will both be upgrading. I will be holding on for the HTC HD3.

Hello folks,

My device is a QTEK A9100.

After updating my rom to one with WM6.5 I noticed that my boot screen now looks like a gradient from green to black like the picture attached.

The problem is that the phone now doesn't activate de radio. It show no signal and when I try to enable the phone in comm manager, it doesn't enable it.

So I decided to go back to WM6.1. Right now I'm using X2H's WM6.1 Manila UI - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3459150&postcount=8

Also, the battery light is not staying lit when the usb or power cable are connected and active sync is not detecting the phone. Also the phone less responsive then usual.

IPL/SPL version are shown as follows in the boot screen:

IPL: 2.21.0001

SPL: 2.21.olip

<-- blank line

OS: 6.1.0.0

Settings > System > Device Information shows in the Version tab:

ROM version: 6.1.0.0 WWE

ROM date: 1/16/08

It does not show radio or protocol version as I saw in another screen shots.

Any ideas on how to enable the radio and make active sync detects the phone?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jjmf:
help anyone?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mittolo:
the blank line at the boot can mean there is the corrupt radio or something similar...the radio version is showed there

i think the best way is try an hard reset, and if it don't work the way is flash a radio...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jjmf:
Hard Reset didn't work.

Tried to install radios 3.02.11 and 2.69.11 and nothing.

The rom install finishes without error but after the device resets it looks like the same it was before. It show no GSM version at the boot screen and the boot screen keep showing for almost 2 minutes.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] josefcrist:
reflash your stock rom.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jjmf:
Thanks, I did it and still the same.

Now the IPL and SPL are version 2.22.0001

But the green boot screen remains and still not show the GSM version.

The WM is laggy and at the device information screen I can only see the rom version, the rom date and the ext rom version.

No information about protocol or radio version.

It seems that no matter what radio I flash, it's not stored in the device.

Any other ideias?
[Hero CDMA General] foolforfood:
I am running darchstars AOSP2.1 ROM and I have two questions for any enterprising devs, if they have time or can tell me the way to do it.

1)I went from using the stock keyboard to betterkeyboard back to the HTC keyboard. In better keyboard you can adjust the vibration for each keypress to be short, is there a way I can change the HTC keyboard to that as well? I'm not afraid of the command line, but I have no idea where I might start with this.

2)I much prefer the HTC dialer app, with the smart dialing. Is there a way to use that instead of the stock android dialer, or a different dialer replacement that has similar functionality?

Thanks again for any responses!
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
Basically what you want is Gumbo Bare on 2.1?
[Hero CDMA General] johnsongrantr:
I'm also interested in this. I'm playing around with an Odroid running AOSP 2.1, I've gotten google bits to run on it, I found a package that includes the framework etc, and works exactly like it should. Very easy to install.

Finding a similar package for senceUI would be of interest to me.

The ability to take a vanillia AOSP add any flavor I want, google bits, SenceUI, Moto Blur... or anything else would be very nice IMO. Instead of the current... I like this rom because it has.... but I wish it had..... Put it together like lego blocks.
[Hero CDMA General] foolforfood:
Well, not really. I'm looking for a way to edit the HTC keyboard haptic feedback if there's a way, and to find a replacement dialer for any AOSP ROM since I personally don't like the stock one. The keyboard is a little more important to me, but I was just hoping somebody might know what I'm looking for.

It looks like you don't have the rogers mandatory update applied. Thats good because you can still root it then. The bad news is that you have to get into the rom before you can root it.

To reflash the rom you need to apply a DREAIMG.nbh.

Download:

Then follow these instructions to root your phone:

and if I don t want to root it, I just need need to put the file on the sd and that s it ?
[G1 General] beav_35:
First read this: http://www.litui.net/archives/796

Rooting lets you install custom roms that have many fixes and enhancements. Rogers' rom is an old version of android (1.5) and it is quite buggy.

Let me know what you choose.
[G1 General] kamiz9999:
well I won t have time to do that, this friend is not that close, just want to make her phone working ;-) so in that case I just need to put the file on the sd and power on the phone ?
[G1 General] beav_35:
If you don't want to root her phone you have two options

1) Install the second latest software update. There is a 911 calling bug so she will have to sign rogers waver.

Use the instructions (but not nbh file) from the next link to install this:

http://haykuro.polygonize.com/ROGERSDREAM.nbh.zip - you will have to extract then rename this file

2) Install the latest update. Currently no way to root after installing this update and it is apparently very buggy.
