[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcontrol:
If its not turning on, then I'm pretty sure it's dead. Needs a new board all together, I had the same thing happen to me, pretty much the same exact way. It was taking way too long to boot (20+ mins) so I took out the battery and now won't turn on at all. If you find a way to fix it let me know so I can revive mine.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawfire:
I contacted some local repairers, they just told that it need to get it's boot reset by putting some wires & stuff on board to make it work again.

It's costing me too much so I haven't done it by yet (almost 5,000 PKR)

If anyone here know the thing I told, do let me know, I can do it by myself (can take risk), but can't spend that much money :p lol
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
They trying to rip you off.. Nobody has got JTAG working on the g1 yet, they can't do anything by "putting some wires and stuff on board". If it won't charge and won't turn on, there's nothing you can do except replace the board.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawfire:
what's the lowest price I have to pay for motherboard of G1, because it's not available in local market by now ?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
You won't find the mainboard for sale anywhere, so your best bet is to search ebay for a g1 with a broken screen.. then you can swap in the board from that and keep the rest of the parts as spares:

http://cgi.ebay.com/T-Mobile-G1-Bro...Cell_Phones?hash=item2eabb4e988#ht_500wt_1182

edit: before you go swapping the board.. have you tried a different battery? it could be as simple as that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fuz1987:
Could we PLEASEEEEEE get a sticky or something with a current list of ROMs available for each device? And whenever someone releases another ROM then they can have it added to the list or something. If it was in the form of a thread then there will be double mentions and that will defy the point. Is there a way that we could have like a non-editable (other than by mods) list of ROMs?

I browse so many different forums and each day there are more and more ROMs coming out but then everything just seems to be so messy when you have to look through so many pages. Different websites have their own incomplete lists, and it's just very confusing, especially if you go away for a week or so and haven't been keeping up and constantly updating yourself... because things change so fast here that after 7 days someone's usually made 10 new discoveries and then there's been 3 new ROMs!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] del_toro:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kwiksand:
This is a forum for one device, the Hero, if you want a list of the latest ROM's look down the thread list, most of the cooks date stamp all their releases (or announcements). I'd think looking for [14-03-2010] in the list is a good place to start :P

Oh okay thank you... I didn't know about the Wiki that's pretty much exactly what I was after.. thanks again!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callmedesdinova:
Ok guys, this is really weird...THis is my third G1, and up until now i have never had a problem flashing custom ROMS. The latest i was using was blue magic...i have occasionally found that this rom will randomly delete programs upon rebooting...the first few times it was deleting "market", and once or twice it deleted handcent sms. Its really strange because when i go to the market, it says that handcent is installed, but the option to open it is greyed out, and it is nowhere to be found in the app drawer, in settings under "manage applications", nor using appmanager, linda, astro, etc...

HERES THE REAL PROBLEM--SO, i finally got frustrated enough that I decided to flash a different rom. As always, i made a nandroid backup. However, now i cant get the roms to flash...the ONLY one i can find that works is cyanogens latest...Even roms that i have previsouly loaded no problem, are now aborting during the install process, citing various errors. to make matters worse, my nandroid backups arent working. it says "restore successful", but it sticks on the "g1" startup screen, and yes, i have let it sit there over 20 mins, to no avail.....the latest is, while trying to install blue magic (from a fresh start):

E: cant symlink /system/bin/stop

E: failure at line 53

I reinstalled the radio and spl but that did no good. I am no debian/linux guru...in fact what little i know about debian/adb/linux has been what ive learned while rooting my phone. So, I am pretty computer literate, not entirely stupid, but i have very limited knowledge of linux based commands...i dont even know what symlink is, what it does, or how it works...all i know is that i suddenly cant flash roms that ive flashed before. Any help would be appreciated mucho!! :) Thanks in advance!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vixsandlee:
It could be an issue with roms that needs DangerSPL, Cyanogen dosent need it ?

Could your SD card be dieing ? would explain the disapearing apps too, if you are using apps to sd

Try repairing the ext partition

#e2fsck -fcpDC0 /*/*/*0p2
#reboot recovery

I would completly wipe all partitions on the sdcard and remake them and see if it shakes it, or try a different card.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
Sounds like a dying sdcard.. I get some of the same issues. At the moment, I sometimes have to copy an update.zip to the card 3 or 4 times before it will flash. I've reformatted it to no avail so I'm assuming the card itself is circling the drain.

E.g. When sliding out keyboard, or getting a text message, the lights you can barely notice but on youtube, the colours are very vibrant.

I owned a silver one, and the illuminations were magnificent, however black is totally barely noticeable.. anyone else experience this?
[XPERIA X2 General] royalbloodvi:
bumpfffffffffffffff
[XPERIA X2 General] bob2k4:
No, my illuminations both top and bottom are quite bright. Shame they don't work properly with notifications of calls and messages yet
[XPERIA X2 General] royalbloodvi:
bob is urs black X2 or silver? and illuminations work with calls n msgs.. u just gotta set it
[XPERIA X2 General] bob2k4:
I have a black one, and yeah I know how to set them and they are set, but I have the fault of the illuminations & notifications don't work at all (mainly with incoming SMS, etc). This is a known issue with the X2
[XPERIA X2 General] victor6035:
i own a silver one too, but mine is barely noticeable when it is illuminating..

BYW, how many colors you can see when it is illuminating...
[XPERIA X2 General] royalbloodvi:
depends what event is happening, eg. missed call = green lights only. msg = blue i think.

so now im starting to wonder, is this a hardware issue? or is this a software issue?

or maybe theres a setting we need to edit, althought ive looked all over settings in WM..
[XPERIA X2 General] victor6035:
yep,the same with you,i cannot find any illumination settings
[XPERIA X2 General] victor6035:

I have a TyTN with a wm6.1 rom upgrade

im trying to copy the contacts i have on my phone to my new sim

but the sim manager gives me an error message sayin "Bad Parameter" even if i try to copy a single contact (i have tried a few). i tried it with the new 6.1 version of the sim manager and it still doesnt work. any ideas?:confused:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jakeUK123:
I know a few months have passed....

I wanted to do exactly this, copy sim contacts to a new sim card without going through the tedious process of copying each individual contact from sim to phone blah blah.

found an app called Turbo Contact Backup 0.01. Goolge should find it.

Saves sim contacts to an xml file which can then be restored to a new sim card, lovely free app.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vangrieg:
Windows Phone Thoughts have noticed something that slipped most people's attention: there was an announcement about two resolutions, WVGA and HVGA, supported by WP7S, which makes two aspect ratios. Hardware scaler or not, this is a problem in terms of UI development. So either this is a strange change in MS's approach, or there's a simple typo/mistake somewhere.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gogol:
I got the same question because I notice 2 different aspect ratios:

800x480 and 480x320.

Both are different.

And this morning, I found the answer from Microsoft developer Shawn Hargreaves:

http://blogs.msdn.com/shawnhar/archive/2010/03/12/reach-vs-hidef.aspx

So, there you go :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Kloc:
I think they are really wanting to appeal to the business user with the 480x320 resolution and front facing qwerty. I don't think games with be a big deal on these devices. It's nice to see some diversity hopefully it doesn't cause any issues.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vangrieg:
But it's most certainly an issue and it really goes against everything they preach with regard to platform standardization. I also can't quite imagine their start screen working well on a small landscape-oriented screen. What a weird twist.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gogol:
The second aspect ratio, HVGA 480x320 will be a bit wider on the 320 side compared to the first aspect ratio.

I expect the main gui aspect ratio will not be stretched, but the "cut off" screen will be much more shown.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jasonjoo:
Well, we know very little about the 480x320 version anyway. Who knows what that one will be like?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ramdroid77:
They didn't learn sh!t from the past....
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] burnblue:
Launch res: 480h/800w = 0.60

Second res: 320h/480w = 0.67

I don't think the hardware scaler is going to have a hard time dealing with this. When I saw them demo it at GDC I couldn't tell a difference. The developer will only have to work on one aspect ratio / pixel count and the phone will do the rest of the work automatically, they said.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Plattendoktor:
Hello, does anyone know a calculator for android to calculate in "dms" (Day,Minute,Second)?

[HD2 General] donwhann:
is this the shortest ever lived super phone...?, although im pretty happy with it still :D
[HD2 General] ozkaya:
I hope we get no updates soon, because looking at other HTC devices, I think HD2 has got only 1 chance of a big update and it shouldn't be wasted as 6.5.3. They will definetely release an update and the support called it Windows Mobile 7. I hope we get the better version (WP7S) and not the crappy Windows Phone Classic.
[HD2 General] Beefheart:
I really don't care, I haven't had an official rom on my HD2 since the HSPL was released and that wasn't going to change any time soon.
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
but remember porting wp7 will be much more harder than porting wm6.5 roms ( no backword comptability ,which means drivers and applications used to operate the device will not be exist (camera ,bluetooth , wifi , radio ,and more ) like the problems happening in porting android to other phones the mentiond apps doesnot work
[HD2 General] Beefheart:
Sorry, I should have made my viewpoint clearer. From what I have seen and heard of WM7, I'm not that bothered about it anyway. It looks like a step backwards to me, albeit one with lots of eye candy for those that don't look beneath the surface. Microsoft have seen Apple succeed with that viewpoint and want a slice of the action.

I can upgrade to a new phone in 11 months time, I will be happy for my HD2 to have the various cooks of 6.5.x until then.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bk718:
not what he's talkin about.. c:geo is completely different from cachemate...

as for your issue OP.. have you tried flashing a 2.1 ROM and then trying it?? when i flashed DC v1.0, i was able to get my cachemate back with no problems..

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] katmandu421:
LOL, sorry, got that confused with a geocaching app
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] BrooklynAvi:
CacheMate dev here. This is not an issue with CacheMate itself. This is an entirely different issue concerning paid apps and the Market on some ROMs. There has been a lot of discussion about this in the various forums. I wish devs had even the slightest control over how their apps were downloaded in the Market but sadly, this is not the case.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kusbainian:
Just curious, on how many people got insurance for thier phone.

I come from the school of; If "it" doesn't have moving parts no point in getting insurance. Feel free to chime in.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] akpe:
Accidentally voted "I've got insurance, thank goodness and it came in handy. where actually I'd like to vote "No insurance"
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] RavenY2K3:
I have and its save my ass "loads" of times, The only hadset Ive not used the insurance for is my Touch Pro.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] l7777:
If it is really a $125 deductible as indicated in the other thread, then there's really no point. Phones depreciate so fast you could simply save the $$ yourself and purchase a phone IF you ever need to. I haven't needed to claim an insurance claim in 12 years. If I had paid for the insurance all that time I'd be out over $700 and still have to pay the deductible if I needed to make a claim.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] auxaux:
never insure something you can afford to replace yourself
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] stim141:
There is an alternative - read below:

I would purchase one for at most a year through the carrier. The deductables have really gotten high to justify anything over a year. Had the coverage years ago on a Nokia and you forget its on the bill! At the time there were deductables around 25 dollars - so people used the coverage to get a new phone every 8 months or whenever a better phone came out. Cost the insur cos a ton so they starting jacking the rates and restrictions.

Alternative:

I just bought a SquareTrade for two years for something like 35.00 with a coupon. Bought a brand new zero hour phone through Ebay (Best Buy Outlet) and qualified for a two year warranty. Has a zero deductable and basically will cover everything except for physical damage and theft. Basically they have a couple of warranties - one that covers damage but you have to purchase the phone I think from a nonEbay source. There is a deductable and it doesn't cover theft. With SquareTrade they will REFUND the purchase price if anything goes wrong that they can't fix. So if the keyboard craps out or there is a motherboard problem its covered. The only catch is you have to purchase the plan I think within 30 days of purchase.

Something goes wrong you send it in (they'll send a mailer and deduct postage) - if its worth a repair they'll fix it otherwise they credit your Paypal account within a couple of days after receiving it. From experience they do pay out - had a Razr that went bad after about a year (flex ribbon) and a TYTN I (motherboard, bad GSM errors). They paid out in full for both - no hassles. They will more than likely look for the water damage seal for activation - SO its not a good idea to crack open the phone and break the seal unless you have a source for replacment seals - they are available if you look.

Hi, i got the original WM 6.5.

I was wondering if you guys could tell me how i can get 3 or 4 program shortcuts on my 'main' screen. All i have now is my calendar items and blank.

Its like this screenshow:

Can i fix it with an app or do i need a complete new ROM?

Thanks in advance,

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sualc:
I guess you need a custom (or cooked) ROM with Sense (or Manila) v2.5. Look for them in the related section and, for your device safety, read carefully the sticky threads about flashing a new ROM. Since you have an original ROM, I assume you will need to start by installing HardSPL 1.83 before you do anything alse.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curufin:
thx, i have had cooked ROMS before, i know how to flash it.

Go to Settings\System\Device Info\Software Info and determine your manila version.

Then go here and figure out which version for your manila.

Read the first few posts that will tell you the functions.

You can add 12\16\20 shortcuts on home screen as shown below.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] super114:
Only Manila 2.5 have shortcuts on homescreen. and I believe Stock Rom only has Manila 2.1. If you want the shortcuts, you'll need to flash your rom
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
See original post, he is on stock 6.5

I've been having a wierd and very irritating problem with my phone. When I'm listening to music using media player the phone intermittently tried dialing the last number called. Not only is this irritating for me but even more so for the people getting called constantly!
