Try to keep the phone with the battery out as pointed before. Then, in a few hours, try to put the battery back in and see if it starts in bootloader!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gman25:
HD2 doesn't turn on(so i can get to bootloader)

in the video it say i must get connect sync etc. my HD2 is like when you first get it (no life, it won't even show that is charging!!)

my HD2 wont turn on at all so my pc dont see it !!! i have a 100% black screen (no life)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noellenchris:
Maybe it's coincidental damage. It may have actually died when u were flashing or after. Otherwise you only chance is to remove battery press your power on buttons w/out the battery (helps discharge any remaining power) and wait awhile, then try to turn on with just power plugged in and no battery, then with battery. If that doesn't work, then take it back to wherever you bought it and exchange. They won't know the difference. Make sure you remove your stuff from the data card first. Good luck..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllTheWay:

I would contact GSLEON3 or jockyw2001 to see if they can help you with your problem.

Hi, my friend has a HTC Hero that was recently dropped in water :( the power down screen keeps popping up as if the button is stuck. 2 questions. Can this be physicallys fixed? if not is there any way to disable the power button?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Dan330:
sorry for your friends accident with the hero...

I dont think you can disable the power button...

You can try to clean the button or un-jam it.

Here is a DIY to take apart the Hero...

HTC IME has the nice feature of automatically adding entered words to the keyboard dictionary. I'd like to use HTC IME because of this, but I still prefer the stock keyboard because of the scrolling word suggestions.

Can anyone add this functionality to the stock keyboard?
[Nexus One General] cekle:
Really? I found that incredibly irritating with HTC IME; that's why I don't use it.

It's simple enough to add them from stock, just long-press on the word you want to add and then keep going.
[Nexus One General] jerhoyet:
I second that. The fact that I could make a typo and then it's automatically saved as the default is a burden, not a feature.
[Nexus One General] myn1:
I don't like the Desire IME too. Google's IME is so much smarter.

But I do like Desire's keyboard.. it lets you type numbers/symbols by long pressing the respective keys.
[Nexus One General] anthro:
It's really nice if you type non-English words :)
[Nexus One General] anthro:
The long press is a nice feature, but it is very slow and obtrusive. I hope, there's a much faster way to add words.

It would be nice if when the user taps on "add to dictionary", the word would automatically be added without taking the user to another screen. That's much faster.
[Nexus One General] teihoata:
I've noticed you can save words by typing them repeatedly (like three times) and then pressing the word you want in the list that pops up each time.
[Nexus One General] anthro:
That's really cool! If we can reduce the number of times the word has to be typed to be added to the dictionary, it would be great!

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] avirup2008:
Hi, I'm sorry if this thread had been posted before but I did a forum search and could not find anything on the topic.:(:(

I just bought my Touch Diamond 2 three days ago. It's also my first Windows Mobile Phone:D

I am very happy with it but I came to know about the concept of TD2 clones:eek::eek::eek:

Now I'm confused if I have the real deal:confused::confused:

Is there any particular procedure- manual/software oriented/ list of steps to chck if my mobile is the real deal?:rolleyes::rolleyes:

I installed TD2 tools v3 and here are some of the things shown in Device info

Device Model ID: Touch Diamond 2 T5353

CPU: QUALCOMM(R) 7200A

CPU Speed: 528 MHz

OS Kernel Version: 5.2.21869

Manilla Version: 2.1.19201317.0

ROM Version: 2.17.720.2(68613) WWE

I'm from India and I upgraded my ROM to Windows 6.5 from 6.1 using the official RUU from HTC India site.

Can you please point me out in the right direction?:):):)

I'm sorry for the long post, just that I'm too tensed.:o:o
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] cmstackar:
If you were able to upgrade your ROM with an official HTC tool, I think its pretty safe to bet it is real. Also, on many fakes the zoombar is a volume control, so check yours
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] avirup2008:
Thanks so much for a prompt and helpful reply.

Zoombar checking done, zooms perfectly on photos , no effect on audio player:D:D

Just curious, any other tips(mainly software that checks versions and all) to see if my phone is real :)

Just curious coz I'm a student and used all my saved up money for this phone:p:p
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] artukas613:
Hi.

Most of the clones don't have Qualcomm processor, only 3MP camera, no front camera.

Biggest difference: no clone EVER wad upgraded with official HTC rom.

So you can relax, yours TD2 is real.

:)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] avirup2008:
Thanks a lot, I feel so much better now:D:D

Off to learn about custom ROM installation.( It's hard for me:confused::confused:)

But with all the great guides, I'm sure I'll crack it:cool::cool:

Thanks again:)
[Desire General] vfrvulcan:
Just done an initial test of video playback on the Desire. Used an MP4 which was encoded at 640x480 fro my iPhone, and I know the file is good. This plays back jerkily, and is not wide enough on screen.

I have tried yxflash and playback is poor.

Can the Desire play back this format smoothly, and can it adjust the aspect ratio in the player?

What are the recommended file types/sizes/encoding for the Desire?
[Desire General] lambrospower:
well i think the reason it's not wide streched is because the width of the video is 480px and the width of desire too so it cannot expand to the whole wide height since the video's height is 640 and desire's is 800!! my opinionas i see it
[Desire General] OnlinePredator:
800x480. Perhaps use the HD Encoder tool found on the Blackstone forumns here. Encodes videos perfectly for this resoultion.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=467112

Tell us how it goes. Remember to use this from the source video, and not your already converted videos which are lower res and not widescreen
[Desire General] vfrvulcan:
Thanks. I'll give that a go.
[Desire General] OnlinePredator:
have you tried this yet? Any luck?
[Desire General] jpxdude:
There is also DoubleTwist, which acts as an iTunes replacement. I tried this, but it is extremely slow at encoding video, although it does work, and the quality is OK.
[Desire General] Datafanatic:
Fantastic program. Have converted avi's and even 720p mkv files.

Results are excellent on the Desire's screen.

Highly recommended

[Desire General] riz157:
It's a bit of a shame that video playback is pretty poor, Hero was the same. Don't know why HTC choose to do this everytime, make a fantastic device and spoil it by sticking in a inferior software.
[Desire General] jpxdude:
Hi there,

I was just wondering if you use any specific settings in the program for the Desire, or do you just use the default settings? Thanks in advance!

J
[Desire General] OnlinePredator:
I would use defaults. By default it's set to the correct resolution. Depends if you are converting a SD or HD, then choose from the two checkboxes to the left of the resolution. That's it. Just add the files you want to convert, choose a destination folder and go for it.

Let us know how it goes.
[Desire General] jpxdude:
Thanks for your reply! I'm trying to download the program from the thread, but the link seems to be broken??? I was wondering if you might have an alternative link to it please? TIA :)

** Edit - Forget that, I managed to download the program, and i'm testing with a HD Rip at 750 kb/s now! Will let you all know the results soon.
[Desire General] OnlinePredator:
Link isn't broken. Although I will upload to rapid share for you in a a few mins as it's taking forever.

[Desire General] jpxdude:
Thanks for that! All is good and working right now, hopefully the quality will work out! For those that haven't checked it out already, I recommend beebplayer! Works just like BBC iPlayer but also includes live TV broadcasting :)

[Desire General] TeCH-Guruz:
Just tried this encoder listed on here encoding seems very slow compared to others Only using 1 core out of the 8 cores avalible and only using 20% average of the 1 core it is using :confused: Videos play back fine quality is very good but for some reason it still doesnt fill my screen :(

Just tried a different input file quality is amazing with 720p .mkv as the input file and it fills my whole screen now :cool:
[Desire General] urnie538:
Is it neccessarry to convert te files? Cant it just play avi's/xvids?

On my Topaz I can play videos (just reg episodes from tvseries ~350MB) without converting using coreplayer.

If you bothered reading the various threads covering this, you'd actually know the answer.
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
##786# , enter MSL, reset, ok.

I reverted back to my first backup right after rooting. Others have not.

When I first did this it locked on the HTC bootscreen.

I rebooted (call+menu+end call)

It started up but said it could not activate

Did not enter google stuff or any of this. No connection

Went to menu>settings>about phone>system updates>update profile

After about 2 minutes it was done and I had access again.

Thanks to AvalancheMods, MrTip and Damageless.
[Hero CDMA General] david279:
Has anyone called sprint to flag your account for a prl update? To see if you can update it that way/
[Hero CDMA General] Tikerz:
Hmm...just last week I restored my nandroid of Gumbo 1.5C to update my PRL to the latest. No problems.

With all this unknown carrier/operator talk, I decided to restore the same nandroid and try to update profile and PRL, no dice. I get the error 1012 code. Weird.

I also restored a nandroid of one of the first versions of DarchLegend that I knew showed Sprint on the lockscreen. Now it doesn't.

Somehow somewhere we lost it.
[Hero CDMA General] david279:
Anybody notice our change in pri versions?

[Hero CDMA General] aauussttiinn88:
someone did in damages new thread i believe
[Hero CDMA General] randalldeflagg:
yeah that was me. not a freaking clue why it worked either

alright that was bizarre... ok so now I have the sprint location back on my phone. I am all the way back to stock. here is what I did, and this is all just worked for me. no idea why this worked. I have my nandroid back up if that will help anyone. I am unrooted at the moment.

so I ruu 1.56 back to stock from r2 after there was no location service. stock radio was on the r2

still no network id.

flashed back my nand back up

no id

ruu again

no network id

rooted with flips kitchen using the newest recovery image

flashed new radio, and restored my nand

no id

ruu'ed again

no id

rooted with flips kitchen using the newest recovery image

restored nand, wiped/factory reset data, dalvick, battery, and rotation

no id

ruu'ed

sprint network id

not a damn clue why that worked
[Hero CDMA General] Tikerz:
What's your PRI and PRL?
[Hero CDMA General] randalldeflagg:
please note this is back on the 1.5 kernel

PRI - 1.70_003

PRL - 60662
[Hero CDMA General] Psyked66:
Weve pretty much narrowed it down to those with the issue have a PRI of 2.11_002, those with a different one seem to be fine. The next issue is trying to figure out how to change it.
[Hero CDMA General] randalldeflagg:
I'm curious to see if now I can get to DC r2 with out issue. but not that curious until a solution can be figured out. 2 hours of flashing back and forth just to restore is not a solution I want to repeat
[Hero CDMA General] someonenewhere:
hopefully that's the problem..but it will get fixed...so I'm not really worried about (just a bit) lol
[Hero CDMA General] aauussttiinn88:
i have pri 2.11_002 and have no network issues so i dunno
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
Not so much network issues, but does Sprint show up on your lockscreen, and in settings, and in tashbar when you drop down.
[Hero CDMA General] fatboypup:
ughhhhhh it says sprint instead of UNKNOWN on that PRI ..... sob if so im goin to the sprint store in the am
[Hero CDMA General] aauussttiinn88:
yea my bad i meant the "network issue" that everyone is having
[Hero CDMA General] fatboypup:
so in settings>aboutphone>status under network whats its say?
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
I just downgraded my radio to one that was from a stock Hero.

PRI=2.11_002

PRL=60662

Still no sprint...

Gonna keep looking for something.

After reading horror stories on Ruu'ing I don't want to do that. As long as my service works I'm not even going to try that.
[Hero CDMA General] fatboypup:
ive RUU'ed half dozen times I almost wish it would brick so when i take it to sprint the techs could swap it out mad fast
[Hero CDMA General] richse:
Seems like people in the DC2.0r2 thread think the DC1.1 might have been the thing changing the PRI.

Hell be better off if he flashed a GSM radio on it...
[Hero CDMA General] brian2220:
mine says

pri version

2.11_002

prl version

60662
[Hero CDMA General] CRUISECONTROL:
I have PRI version 1.70_003 and PRL 60660 running DCv1. Oddly, my operator shows up as Sprint, but my lock screen is missing Sprint written on it and it doesn't show up in the drop down. I'm not really noticing any problems, though.
[Hero CDMA General] ElAguila:
I wonder what radio the users with issues are having. i flashed to the 2.41.04.02.03 radio a couple of weeks ago that flip posted. I have pri 2.11_02 and I was able to update the prl and my profile. It says sprint on the lockscreen and my sprint apps(tv, nscar, nfl) work. So I was wondering if that radio had made any difference.
[Hero CDMA General] askwhy:
Unknown Operator here too (and no Sprint on lockscreen)

- Current PRI: 2.11_002

- Current PRL: 60660

- Running Fresh/Toast 2.0c

- History (Stock > Rooted Stock > TTG (1.5) > Fresh 2.0c)

- No radio update, ever

- No DC rom installed, ever

- No RUU back to stock, ever

Hopefully the data is useful.

Anyways, everything is running fine -- no sync or battery issues, no running application problems (maybe protected apps still missing from market?), and I don't really care about the listed operator as long as the things I need still work.

As for not being able to update the PRL, well, I realize this can help *some* people with reception in *some* areas, but I think people here at XDA tend to overstate it's importance. Frankly, most cellphone owners will go the entire life of their phone without *ever* updating their PRL. Only us so-called 'smartphone' owners seem to even care en-mass about PRL. In the years since I had my first smartphone (i730 > Mogul > Touch Pro > Hero) I have perhaps updated my PRL twice, total. Personally, I choose not to care too much about that, and so far that hasn't been an issue.
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
Reposted from Damageless' thread:

##786# + MSL + Menu -> Reset + OK + Wait patiently = SUCCESS!

This performs a factory wipe (you lose everything not on the SD card) and runs a hands free activation...this resets your PRI to something compatible with Sprint's network.

You need your MSL from Sprint. Several ways to do this:

1. Call Sprint and ask for it. 8 times out of 10 they'll give it to you. Just tell them you need your MSL to fix your phone.

2. Perform a handset swap on the website. Part of the procedure gives you your MSL code.

3. There's a thread floating around (too lazy to look it up) that shows how to use CDMA Workshop to get your MSL.
[Hero CDMA General] gomorrah:
The instructions are in the first sticky.
[Hero CDMA General] aauussttiinn88:
my PRI is 2.11_002 and i have no network issue my lockscreen shows sprint and all that and i virtually dont see any problems buut. is the regular pri better to have or what? im just wondering if i should revert to the stock pri for when the real 2.1 comes out
[Hero CDMA General] subliminalurge:
OK, this is probably a dumb question, but when I try to do that I don't ever get a place where I can enter my MSL.

I enter ##786# and it goes to a screen with a lot of info on it, hitting menu on that screen shows a reset option, but nowhere along the line is it asking for my MSL....

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

EDIT: Nevermind. I got it to work, but the order was:

##786# + Menu -> Reset + MSL + OK

It then rebooted into recovery and is currently doing a wipe. Hopefully the rest goes smooth.
[Hero CDMA General] aauussttiinn88:
nandroid to 1.5 and give it a shot and then nandroid back to your current rom
[Hero CDMA General] subliminalurge:
I was already back on my 1.5 that I made when I originally rooted the phone while doing that....
[Hero CDMA General] aauussttiinn88:
ok did you try when on damages rom?
[Hero CDMA General] subliminalurge:
I tried on my DC 1.1b6 that I've been using as a daily but couldn't get my MSL so flashed back to stock to do that, not sure if I still lhave a DC 1.0 nandroid laying around.

Not sure if you saw my edit above, but I think I got it to work, just a slightly different order on the instructions. It's currently doing the hands free activation, will report back after I check the PRI.
[Hero CDMA General] aauussttiinn88:
oh ok cool yea that should work for you bro
[Hero CDMA General] subliminalurge:
OK, I got a "Your activation could not be completed" message.

Wondering if this is because I'm in a roaming area at the moment? I can see where you might need to be on the actual Sprint network for this to work.

EDIT: OK, weird, the activation errored out, but my PRI is now on 1.70_003 anyway, so I guess we can call it a success....
[Hero CDMA General] subliminalurge:
I guess I was a little quick to call that a success....

I got it back to the correct PRI, but now my phone is not provisioned. No data, can't place calls, etc...

At this point, unless someone figures out that this is wrong, I think a warning is in order to not do this unless you're connected to the Sprint network. Doing it while roaming left my phone unusable. Hopefully I can take a little road trip later to an area with better Sprint coverage and get it to provision successfully.
[Hero CDMA General] aauussttiinn88:
i just seen a post werre a guy said after that nand to a 1.5 rom and the activation and provisioning will go thru weird i know but try it
[Hero CDMA General] subliminalurge:
That's what I'm doing. I'm nandroided back to my original backup from when I initially rooted the phone, so it's pretty much stock. I really think it's because I'm roaming at the moment. Kinda makes sense that it can't provision successfully if it's not on Sprint's network.

In hindsight, I probably should have known better. Guess I got into a bit too much of a rush....
[Hero CDMA General] aauussttiinn88:
its cool man that could be too...hard not to xda sometimes :cool:
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
Try updating your profile in system updates....Worked for me
[Hero CDMA General] Avalaunchmods:
yeh thats the best thing to do before leaving 1.5 is UPDATE PRL AND PROFILE
[HD2 General] GNOve:
i took some pictures and video today. everything was working fine they appeared on the albums app and on the picture and video tabs. i had to restart the phone and now none of the videos or pictures are showing. when i use the file explorer app i can see the files.

im new to windows it may be easy to fix but i have no windows knowledge.
[HD2 General] starstreak:
When I close a program, I know its in background(via task manager). How do I switch to that program without always loading taskmanager?

Example: If I minimize a IM application, it's in backgorund. B4 I could click on the upper right corner of the screen and see what's running and click on it to bring it forward.
[HD2 General] noellenchris:
Search for Dutty's taskmanager and your old style HTC taskmanager will be back in the top right hand corner..:)
[HD2 General] starstreak:
Thanks. I was hoping it was "built-in" but I guess not. :)
