I am using the wall charger now but I am UK based so I am not using the suplied charger - rather my HD2 wall adapator and USB cable although that shouldn't effect how it works clearly.

I do wonder if the invisible shield may be causing part of the problem.

It doesn't "slide" into the dock I have to push it even though the bottom part of the phone has no protector (as I removed the shield from there) it does seem to be super temperamental to the EXACT angle and position I have it in the dock...
[Nexus One Accessories] krohnjw:
As long as it's pushing 1V I don't see why there'd be any problem if it's not the "supplied" charger.

Can you tell if the phone is making good contact on the bottom? You should be able to see the pins actually depress and "disappear" as the phone pushes them down into the dock.
[Nexus One Accessories] jamiefly:
which dock have you got

I'd have thought the problem would be the skin blocking the three contacts ( is it a genuine dock?

Jamie
[Nexus One Accessories] jsapp:
with the invisible skin I need to push the phone in a little as well. The skin makes the phone not fit as well so that may be your issue, not the dock.
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
^^^^This^^^^
[Nexus One Accessories] Spinstorm:
I removed the protector totally and it still requires pushing into the dock and then it seems to randomly disconnect the charging for no reason after a couple of seconds.

It must be that the dock is faulty (of course it could be my phone but I can't test that out so I will assume it is the dock).

I e-mailed HTC who said if I phone them they will sort out a replacement.

They seem quite efficient so far although I haven't phoned them yet! :P

I have to be honest I am not impressed with the dock... sure it looks nice and the bluetooth streaming is cool but even if mine worked perfectly and charged the phone - the phone slips out if I touch it anywhere - it must be the most unsafe dock ever. Forget using the phone in the dock. It won't stay in it if you press it....

ok went to flipz 2.1 and now of course protected market apps arent showing, i tried doing the pull method and editing a file but its not working atm with adb, not sure why.

But I do remember a little bit back i just flashed a certain rom and then my market worked fine, not sure if it was something in the rom?

but anyone have that file or an easier way?

[G1 General] boostnek9:
Hey guys,

Here is the scoop, my Dream was working perfectly and all of a sudden my phone said no service.

After troubleshooting a bit and no luck I decided to wipe the phone and start fresh in case I installed something that messed it up, still nothing.

I took my sim card out and cleaned the contacts with rubbing alcohol to make sure all was good and still no service. I then decided to use only 2G and my service came back. According to Robbers my account is good because I tried my sim card in an IPhone 3g and I get full reception in 3g no problems.

I cant find any info on this..Can anyone help?
[G1 General] XQwerty:
Same here

Same here, fastest way I found to fix it was to reboot the dam thing...

God I hate myself for installing the last "mandatory" upgrade...
[G1 General] boostnek9:
Rebooting didnt help... the ONLY way I got service was to force only 2g.. nothing else worked.
[G1 General] asb123:
Check that you have the proper apn settings. Some ROMs don't have them right/don't have them.
[G1 General] boostnek9:
I'm on Robbers latest e911 fix rom... unrooted no cooked rom installed.
[HD2 General] Cret:
I recently had a weekend in the UK on holiday and to make sure I did not get charged a fortune for roaming connection charges, I made certain that every time I used the phone online I had a good connection to the hotel's wifi hotspot.

I've just received a bill for nearly £100 for 18mb roaming, and nearly had a heart attack since I should not have been using any roaming services!!:mad:

Anyone know how this could have happened? As I said, I made absolutely certain that every time I was using the internet I was successfully connected to the wifi hotspot, so I don't understand how this can have happened but I'm furious about it.

Not to mention that the thieves have charged me £6/mb for a crappy GPRS connection!!

Thanks guys.

What also really annoys me about this is that I even tried to setup SPB's data monitor app beforehand as a precaution but it would not register any data traffic even though I set up the tariffs with all the necessary info. :mad:
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
Hotel WiFi isn't free - usually £5 an hour or something extortionate like that...
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
But that wouldn't end up on his phone bill, it'd be on his hotel bill.
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
True, just stating ;)

Might be down to others apps using it perhaps...
[HD2 General] jrrigney:
Your right that wouldn't end up as part of the phone bill, However the following items will

Weather updates

Email syncronisation (possibly automated)

MyPhone (or any other "Cloud") backups

RSS Feeds

We're any of these enabled? Unfortunatly I am unaware of any way to turn off DataConnection without the above having the ability to automatically turn it back on. For that reason I will never take my phone (and leave it on) overseas.
[HD2 General] SMS92:
Will that 'NoData' app not work for disabling anything over gprs/3g on the HD2?

And I'd like to echo the above - chances are it was an app on your phone downloading data in the background.

Unlucky mate - hope you can dispute it. :(
[HD2 General] Cret:
Thanks for that, but yes it was definitely free at this one (actually a B&B rather than a hotel as such). The bill I'm talking about is the monthly carrier bill for my HD2, NOT my hotel bill.

The problem is that the HD2 has basically been using my normal data connection but was showing as using wifi at the time.

I switched off all auto updates to prevent this too. The periods where I've been charged are for like an hour or so when I've been browsing the web in the evening.
[HD2 General] jrrigney:
Not that i want to make this sound obvious but, are you sure you was connected to the WiFi network. Just turning on your WiFi does not mean you are connected to the network, as most have Network Keys to grant access (or public guest passwords), you don't normally allow any old Joe Blogg onto the network.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
a little extra note to this is that many public wifi spots actually let you connect, and only then ask you for user info, so the phone looks like it is connected, when in fact there is no gateway out past the first landing page.
[HD2 General] wajinho:
i had this problem with my old htc kaiser ( i had turned off all data connection apart from wifi) and it would still try and connect to a 3g network. when i returned from the states to the UK my bill was over £300!! i complained to t-mobile and they thankfully cancelled the bill!!

good luck.
[HD2 General] Chainfire:
Applications may well (and do) connect to the internet over 3G even when you have Wi-Fi connected and operational. That is simply how WM works.

There are various solutions out there to fix this problem, both manually turning cellular data connections off as well as those that automatically turn them off when you are roaming. I know one of the latter ones is on Marketplace.
[HD2 General] Cret:
valid point guys but yeah it had a full wifi connection and a valid wep key.

if I could get gprs monitor (our whatever its called) to work then I could try to reproduce the fault st home but it never registers any data use when I try it. are there any other apps that can monitor my phones data traffic?
[HD2 General] Cret:
Thanks - I did see that one of the auto updates had gone ahead anyway using the data connection as it showed a connection to a server but it was for a very brief instant.

The big amounts of time/data however are purely down to browsing though. And that's my issue here. How can it be using the normal GPRS data connection for browsing even though it has a stable, fully open, free wifi connection? Have I got a setting wrong somewhere perhaps?
[HD2 General] devbod:
My guess would be that the hotel internet link was down. You would still connect to the wifi network but it would fail to route traffic. tcp/ip was designed to work for US military to handle parts of network getting nuked so it seamlessly (and transparently) uses the next best link. I did think the HD2 asked before connecting when roaming tho. To be safe go to comm manager and switch off data connection before browsing next time and watch it doesnt come back on again.
[HD2 General] Cret:
I suppose that's an idea that they may have had a problem with their network BUT I've just tried a test at home.

I'm connected perfectly to my home wifi network with a strong signal, but my phone refuses to do any data stuff like go online, basically because my normal data connection has failed (it does this maybe once a day). This means that even though it is showing as being fully connected to wifi, it isn't actually doing anything with the wifi network and is still trying to do all data traffic including browsing through my GPRS connection instead!

How can this be happening?!

Incidentally I got a reply from HTC about this. It was VERY apologetic - which to me suggests that they know there is a fault. You don't apologise unless you're at fault for something after all!

They sent me some HTC app that they said I need on the phone to prevent this happening in future, which seems like an admission of blame to me, but I know I'll never get the £100 in roaming charges back from them even though it appears to be their fault after I've taken reasonable steps as a consumer to ensure I wouldn't get charged.

Very unhappy about this.
[HD2 General] ehudmi:
Data connection woes

I have a similar problem - skyfire or opera will not connect using wifi when data connection is disabled - both in settings and individually using "nodata" app.

Does anyone have an idea of how to force use of wifi and restrict to wifi use?

Thanks,

Ehud
[HD2 General] VoicesUK:
I am very interested in hearing more about this. If you ever find out what caused this problem, please let us know in this thread or drop me a pm. In a couple of weeks I'm off to the States for a holiday and I have read enough stories here on the forum to actually think twice about taking my phone with me.
[HD2 General] nutmegy:
personally i would have manually turned off the the phone connection under Wireless Controls and just turned on the Wi-fi on the phone.. that way it cant possibly use GPRS as essentially it is in a semi "Flight" mode..
[HD2 General] bazvw205:
those BT 'clouds' (think thats what they call them) charge to your phone bill, when I phoned up to change my price plan I was told if I didn't have mobile internet addon using wifi through these will incur charges
[HD2 General] r_southampton:
Don't worry - use "no data"

I've used my XDA's around the world for years without a problem

In the UK I've got bundled unlimited data - so data is always enabled.

The first thing I do when putting my HD2 into flight mode on the aircraft is to run no-data. most cooked roms include it - but if not just download the cab.

"no data" allows you to toggle your cell operator based data connections - to off. Which has worked flawlessly for me in the US, Europe and far-east. On your return to home just toggle the settings back on.

The alternative is to go into comm manager and turn the phone off - but whats the point of that? You won't even be able to receive texts. I like to be able to receive calls and texts, but with the security of not running up extortionate data bills.

As an aside - if only all operators would allow you to set a strict (low) limit on data charges for roaming.
[HD2 General] Chainfire:
Didn't that just pass legislation in the EU? All the European providers will have to do that next year, IIRC.
[HD2 General] n-j-f:
When I went abroad recently, I followed the advice from HTC here - http://www.htc.com/uk/faqs.aspx?p_id=297&cat=264&id=118112&f=t - and it worked totally. Very occasionally, I got an error saying cannot connect but that was exactly what I wanted.

It may help you next time.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
It will take what it has at hand, and then won't change until it has to. Picture you turned on wifi, but it isn't connected yet, and you fire up the browser. The browser wants network access NOW, but wifi is unavailable yet so this triggers data connection, which you can see by the 2 arrows on the signal bar logo, followed by the E, 3G,.. depending on your network type where you are. A second later wifi is ready, but opera has now started using data, so it will go on with this unless it's forced to change, for example if you close data connection manually. In this case it sees that connection has failed, so it switches to the next available connection which is now wifi.

If both are on Wifi seems to be usually preferred, and if an app doesn't send/receive data for some time when it resumes it should go to wifi if both are here, but it's not something "hard" that will always happen. Basically if 2 connections are open, TCP/IP can take any of them arbitrarily.

As mentioned many times, the only way to be sure data will never be used is to disable it with nodata or equivalent.

Or you're very aware and always have a look at the signal bars icon, as long as it shows the antenna with the bars and no "letter", data connection is closed, and you won't have any charge. But if not disabled it might still be connecting / disconnecting without you noticing when you're sleeping, in your pocket/whatever because of autoupdates or such.

Haven't followed closely but what I think they will have to do is just warn you if internet connection is starting to get heavy on your bill.
[HD2 General] ehudmi:
Solved Wifi Woes

I found out it was probably my bad that kept me unable to surf on wifi - I had under network adapters for wireless a fixed ip definition for the broadcom 802.11 DHD network adapter. Once I changed it to server assigned ip i was able to connect and browse using wifi. And I defined that programs connecting to internet automatically should use my work network which is defined as connecting to internet. I will see over time if i get any problems such as unwanted gprs surfing...
[HD2 General] r_southampton:
You're right - but I assumed that only applies whilst traveling in Europe. The old bad practice would still apply whilst roaming the rest of the world.

Actually, it's not such much about the cap (although it helps), it's the outrageous profiteering on data pricing if you're not paying in advance. There's been many times when I'd have been happy to pay a couple of dollars/pounds for a day of unlimited data access, but instead I've just turned data off and waited for a free wifi access point rather than paying 3 pounds a megabyte with 02 (plus whatever the local operator charges).
[HD2 General] DrATty:
I just turn off the phone when I use the Web abroad. It's inconvenient but £8 a megabyte would have left me with a bill for £1000s. I'm saddened to see that you lost £100.

Check out the settings below and set them accordingly. There might be others.

turn on bluetooth of phone.

turn on stereo bt headset into pair mode

discover bt headset in settings/networks/bluetooth

pair headset and phone

turn on music app

play music.

if you're asking about using any normal headphones, then you should get a bluetooth bridge adapter. some companies make them...

Lately, N1 seems to be unresponsive 45% of the time when attempting to awake unit from sleep mode, and I have to pull the battery to get my phone functional again.. I have not rooted, dropped, or got my phone wet or moist at any point...

Has anyone else experienced this issue...Would Rooting the phone help...:confused:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanowns:
Guess that would depend if it is a hardware of software issue.

Have you tried a factory reset? Probably a pain, but might be a way test it.

You have an HTC warranty, so it may be wise to avoid rooting when you have a real issue that is not normal.

Honestly, I think it could help, but under your circumstances I would be hesistant. Especially if you have a back-up phone and you can send your phone into HTC with limited annoyance.

Just my 2 cents, but really seems risky to root a phone that may have legitimate problems(unless you are confident its a pure software issue).

Hello.

I am trying to buy a battery for an older HTC but I am unsure about the model of the device and battery.

In front it has Vodafone logo and no name.

Behind the battery cover it says:

5V DC---1A

HTC INOVATION

2. Does it have another name?

3. What battery type/number it needs?
