[Touch CDMA General] akatcl:
My still under warranty 6900 has a totally black screen. I can see that the backlight is on- it is the actual lcd that is black and the phone will receive calls. (I can't see if it goes to bootloader since the screen is black) Presumably, this has nothing to do with the nsfan6.5 ROM on it.

Verizon CS told me on the phone that if they sent me a warranty replacement then found it to be water (or physically) damaged, they would "have to" bill me for the RETAIL value of the phone. She gave me the option to take it into a verizon store to have a tech first OK the replacement to avoid this possibility. He OK'd it and is should be here shortly.

Is there a way to get it back to stock rom while not being able to read what is on the screen? For that matter, is this even worth doing or will VZW not notice?

PS- I'm trying to decide what ROM to put on the replacement phone- Android is tempting but I think I'm going to wait for the smart people to finish getting stereo bluetooth and standalone GPS all sorted out. I'm sure I'll play with it on the SD card in the meanwhile. Thoughts?
[Touch CDMA General] akatcl:
I realized I should add:

On the phone I need to send back, I have the bell (complete with ugly blue start up screen) 3.42.50 radio and whatever nsfan 6.5 build was most recent back then.

To accomplish the flash, I also have a 2gb microsd card (with reader) and have downloaded the stock verizon rom.

Also, the touch screen appears to work (vibrates on touch) however, no amount of guesses with random screen touches could get the phone to connect with activesync or tether (sadly, the last type of connection I made was as a removable drive). In other words, things might not be where they are supposed to be on the screen so telling me to tap at pixel 120x200 (or wherever the "next" or "ok" button might invisibly be) may or may not work.

thanks again!

Enter bootloader - Hold Camera and Power and soft reset.

Connect to usb

Run RUU from stock rom.
[Touch CDMA General] akatcl:
LOL, thanks. I just logged on to say I'd figured it out. It finally dawned on me that 10 months ago i'd noticed (or heard or something) that you didn't need the active sync connection going if you entered bootloader first.

Fantastic. Many thanks.
[Touch CDMA General] akatcl:
Just in case someone reads this trying to do the same thing: I saw elsewhere that you need to run imcoke.41 before reflashing with stock ROM so that's what I did.

Correct?
[Touch CDMA General] scotttr:
I think you need to run the .40 unlocker, not the .41

.40 is supposed to be overwritable, .41 is not

I've been using .40 before I send back my phones. When I flash the VZW ROM it usually errors out the first time, then you follow the instructions on the screen(pc) and it takes the second time.
[Touch CDMA General] akatcl:
You're right. I'm hoping it was .40 that I used and just wrote .41 here. Regardless, I already sent it off.

[HD2 General] mknewman:
Ok, so

I've been a WM user back since CE 2.0 and currently am carrying a T-Mobile Dash and a Toshiba E805, so I'm ready to upgrade the two of them into a HD2, but am curious about the potential for this thing. I don't want to be locked in to a EOL (End of Life) item from the start, and am willing to wait a few months for WM7, but in reality with all the purchased software I own I doubt I'd be happy losing it all and starting fresh with WM7. I'd tend to go with a different platform, maybe a N1 or an (gasp) Iphone but my problem is I'm a hopeless tinkerer and techie so I will definately NOT be happy on a closed platform.

Although I'm not a fan of M$ the CE/WM platform is amazingly open and compliant to my wishes, although the 32 process limit has been a nightmare, I've been pretty happy with it. The E805 with 640x480 looks and performs great, I have a larger battery so I can run it pretty much all day.

Oh, I'm currently using T-Zones and really don't want to pay $30 for Internet on whatever I get.

So my question to you folks who either have a HD2 already or know more about this than I is should I get the HD2 at the end of the month and live with the platform for 3-5 more years, possibly with vendors limiting support, seeing lots of new stuff come out for the newer platforms that will be there, or should I wait for this market to flesh out and go for a new architecture?

Thanks,

Marc

[HD2 General] ephestione:
you're thinking about it when it's sold at THOSE prices?

I am deeply offended, admitting the news are real.

I cannot tolerate that on 21st january I had to spend 440€ on this phone, one-month used by another person (plus everything else I had to buy on it, totalling 500€ roughly), while it's being sold NEW in the US, unbranded, with 1GB ROM, officially supported 576MB RAM, an included 16GB microsd, for what is the equivalent of less than 330€.

It's like stepping on users' money.

I am not among those complaining about "newer hd2 with more rom", but I am sure as heck furious about it being sold, new and with better bundle, for roughly 25% less than what I payed my used phone less than couple months ago.
[HD2 General] methodz:
well, that is just the nature of the beast. you don't even want to know what i paid for an xperia x1 when it first came out and what it sold for 3 months later. or my iphone and what it sold for 3 months later :(

nothing you can do about it. either buy it right away at the higher price or wait it out. what you are paying for is the early usage of the device, sucks but that is just how it goes.
[HD2 General] mknewman:
I guess my main problem with this is with the announcement of WM7 support for this beast will wane. I can get a N1 or an Iphone which AREN'T new platforms, will have lots of support, and likely get updates for a long time. The HD2 (which I've been waiting for almost a year for) has great hardware, probobly a bit better than either of those other two, but is it worth it to lock my self in to obsolescence?

hi...

i've tried to use olinex 1.83 hspl unlocker for my topaz and it doesn't work...

[General Questions and Answers] pwoc:
I am trying to reskin the dialer of an iPaq hw6945. I'm having trouble with the default background. I've tried any number of skins and skinning tools and none seems to change the default blue backround.

My first thought was to simply replace the background image. On the iPaq hw6945 that image is "dlrback_sqre.png". Unfortunately that seems to be a ROM image so even if I change the file attributes, I can't replace it.

Any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] bilbobrian:
try making the files into a .cab...:)
[General Questions and Answers] pwoc:
How will that help and how would I do that?

I tried to install a couple of different dialer skins, an SPB dialer skin, and one of the DirkGently dialer skins. The former used a PC based exe installer the latter a cab. In both cases they failed to install their backgrounds. The buttons installed just fine but the background didn't change. So I thought I'd "hack in" the background.

So far I haven't been able to do it.

I unsuccessfully attempted the fore mentioned image swap, then I went poking around in the registry.

I found "dlrback_sqre" in two places in the registry. I replace those values with "dlrback_square" the name of my image in the same directory, but that didn't seem to do a thing.
[General Questions and Answers] pwoc:
Sorry... new to the board. I thought this would be the place to post.
[General Questions and Answers] pwoc:
Thanks bilbobrian for your help. It lead me in the right direction.

You're right all it took was a signed cab (and a background image with right name) to overwrite the background. I took one of the DG skins opened it with a cab editor and inserted the right file.

When I get some time I may just make a set of custom skins. I already know how to do the calculator, and WM player, although I might just make a skin for Coreplayer which I use more often. TCPMP was a such a great application, I decided to spring for the licensed version.

I need to turn off the phone (radio?) in my application

The only thing I found is by using lineSetEquipmentState but I couldn't find how to work with it.

Another option is with the openNetCf.tapi but this dll isn't free.

Any ides?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] alto:
Someone? something? :)

Other option will be if possible to call flight mode
[Windows Mobile Software Development] TrashKalmar:
You can do this via RIL:

RIL_SetEquipmentState(FHandle,RIL_EQSTATE_MINIMUM);

Here FHandle is handle to opened RIL.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] alto:
Thanks for the info, seems the right way.

However something doesn't work, every thing looks ok, the hRes is 0 but nothing happens.

Any ideas?

[DllImport("ril.dll")]
private static extern IntPtr RIL_SetEquipmentState(IntPtr hRil);

public static bool SetAirplaneState()
{
IntPtr hRil = IntPtr.Zero;
IntPtr hRes = IntPtr.Zero;

hRes = RIL_Initialize(1, // RIL port 1
new RILRESULTCALLBACK(SetEquipmentStateCallback), // function to call with result
null, // function to call with notify
0, // classes of notification to enable
0x00000001, // RIL parameters
out hRil); // RIL handle returned

if (hRes != IntPtr.Zero)
{
return false;
}
hRes = RIL_GetCellTowerInfo(hRil);
waithandle.WaitOne();
RIL_Deinitialize(hRil);
return true;
}
private static void SetEquipmentStateCallback(uint dwCode, IntPtr hrCmdID, IntPtr lpData, uint cbData, uint dwParam)
{
waithandle.Set();
}
private static AutoResetEvent waithandle = new AutoResetEvent(false);

public delegate void RILNOTIFYCALLBACK(uint dwCode,
IntPtr lpData,
uint cbData,
uint dwParam);

public delegate void RILRESULTCALLBACK(uint dwCode,
IntPtr hrCmdID,
IntPtr lpData,
uint cbData,
uint dwParam);
[Windows Mobile Software Development] TrashKalmar:
What do you want to achieve? If you want to turn off the phone, you should use RIL_SetEquipmentState. But in your code you obtain Cell Tower info via RIL_GetCellTowerInfo.

Also, if I remember rightly, you must specify RILNOTIFYCALLBACK in RIL_Initialize.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] alto:
Correct, sorry I made mish-mash in the code I copied here.

My error was that I forgot to pass the second parameter to the SetEquipmentState function.

Works great now, Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajhvdb:

[Windows Mobile Software Development] ajhvdb:

I ordered a HD2, And am on AT&T. Wouldnt mind killing my 30$ data plan, is there any way to stop it from connecting, and can AT&T tell I have a smart phone?
[HD2 General] din0_22:
to answer your question first, yes you can cancel your data plan and stop the HD2 from connecting to ATT data (by not setting up your device during your first setup, or you can just delete the media net settings after setup is complete. i.e. selected AT&T as your network during the first boot up).

AT&T would not recognize your device, as it is not listed in theit IMEI bank under AT&T's system. (you can just tell the representative that you have an old flip phone, if they ever call you to get the imei of your phone since it is not going to appear in their system or at the time that you cancel your data service, as i am sure they will ask you why are you terminating the iphone plan). so make sure you have an old cingular or At&t phone that you can give out the IMEI when you made the call. (This will also benefit you in the future, if you ever decided to get a medianet unlimited for $15.00 which is the perfect data plan for HD2 under AT&T since your HD2 (assuming that it is a T8585 or a Tmobile brand phone and HSDPA or 3G will not be supported.)

Im sorry but i just don't see the use of having a device such as the HD2 without using the data. Im sure that you are aware that HD2's features such as weather, maps, facebook, etc.. require's an internet connection right??? so if you decided to cancel your plan, you can only be connected thru Wifi or if ever you permit, AT&T pay per use is extremely expensive.

1Cent = 1KB

opening yahoo.com webpage = assuming 1,024KB = 1MB = $1.00

so think about it really good if i were you.

cheers
[HD2 General] audichris9:
I think one problem is that the T-mo HD2's are showing up as Blackberries so they are going to force the $30 data plan regardless. I'm 100% positive they think I have a blackberry but I'm hoping that someone can tell me that they don't enforce the $30 plan in this instance?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] homegrown544:
noob question here. will i need to flash a new radio after i flash a new rom?? Or if im only flashing the rom does it modify/change the original radio??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
Flashing a custom (OS) rom doesn't change the radio.

Stock ROM packages (at least some, like the T-MoUSA WM6.5) include a radio-rom and this over-writes your existing radio-rom.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] homegrown544:
That was a fast reply thx. so as long as it is not a carrier's stock rom, no radio change?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
No doubt somebody else can give a more definite answer than I can...but AFAIK that's typically the way it is. I've flashed custom ROMs by at least 6 different cooks and none of them have included radio-roms.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
The handful of ROMs I've investigated are all the same, no radio included. IF there are any ROMs that have a specific radio included, I'm sure it would be clearly mentioned in the thread for that ROM.

Having the freedom to flash radios separately from the rest of the ROM is one of the many things that make the TP2 as wonderfully flexible as it is :)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Not sure what your issue is?

If you have iGo configured correctly, you install it from SD card and it puts the program into the prgram directory but stores the maps, etc on the SD.

So when you click to add the short cut its there in the list.

**Edit**, I just realized what you're probably doing wrong. You have to look for Nav n Go instead of iGo in your program list.

Hi,

I'm running Window 7 Pro x64, previously the ADB was working, but after setting up some ext partition option accidentaly, (I think that it's linked to that), i've tried all options I know of by trying to manually install the drivers and removing them completely etc...

Main points, I can still access recovery image, and also the bootloader. I've succesfully flashed custom roms etc... before. And phone does not boot to rom(that's because I think it didn't install correctly, not sure)

I want to switch my phone over to Android from Win Mobile but tethering is very important to me.

1. Is there a performance drawback to use GenY DualBoot? Is it better to just install one of the Android builds?

2. I'm on a stock ROM. If I flash that will I lose my current Win Mobile build?

Thanks for any help.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jnadke:
Yeah, SDCard / HaRET / DualBoot generally has slightly worse performance in Android. It's not huge, but it is a little laggier. It really depends on your SDCard. I have a class 6 SDHC card, and I generally noticed it was about 70-80% as fast as NAND. Cheaper/lower performing SD cards will be worse.

You can still tether in Android. There's TetherBlue, EasyTether, and PDANet for Android.

I think with TetherBlue you need to be using the 480x320 resolution to see it in the Market. EasyTether is free, but the free version restricts secure http sites (https).

I've been using Android from NAND for about 2 weeks now, and I can say I have no desire to go back to 6.5.3. Android is so much more responsive. Gmail is great. Internet Browsing is much better. The best part is, it actually _works_ as a phone (using WinMobile phone features never was pleasant...).
