This makes me want to try to fix a diamond i have.. but its a cdma sprint one and its a lot differant inside. I had tried to replace the whole screen. (ordered the wrong one first. Cracked the ribbon on the second one) by the time i got it right (what i thought was right) it simply wouldnt turn on. I loved my diamond and so i was tinkering with some broken ones i bought off ebay so it was no big deal.. anyone have a guide for the maroon sprint cdma one? It was fun none the less..

Microp.error

Merry christmas everybody,

Thing worked for me too!

I faced the issue this morning:D and you can imagine how frustrating it is especially on a christmas morning!

I spent about an hour on my Diamond, luckily I had downloaded the HTC assembly/disassembly guide long ago just in case (you never know when such things come handy!). I also added a small piece of paper under the big connector in order to keep it firmly against the PCB.

I've been through a lot with my Diamond all over the world over the past 2 and a half years and therefore it has some sentimental value to me.Although I've never been too gentle with it...

It's tougher than you can imagine.And for the record, here's a list of things happened to it an still survives-without the least exaggeration- :

1) Sweating glasses and bottles, water entered x 2 (ok after drying)

2) Talking for several minutes on a sunny day, sweat through earpiece x 3 (ok

after drying)

3) Forgotten on car's dashboard, charging and overheating x 2 (ok after restart)

4) Flying from dashboard (on some a hi-g close turning:p) and shattering against

door x 1

5) Banged face-down on desk with intention to break, not broken!

6) Got permanent curving due to sitting with Diamond in jeans' backpocket.

7) Dropped from pocket and shattering on floor (have lost count!)

8) Last but not least (WOMEN!) :mad: thrown against the floor with intention

to...kill-nope! then...

thrown against brick wall through a glass!!!! (wifi range affected-not

disabled!)

Till yesterday when I...casually tossed it on my desk...to discover microp. issue this morning (guess well deserved!:rolleyes:)

By the way, further finding during surgery was the big coax cable unplugged from main PCB.After putting everything together my old buddy works like a charm and wifi range got back to normal!...

From now on I'll be gentle with it as when I first bought it!

Thanx a bunch, mate!

Bloody right, we went hardcore this morning!

And I'll buy it a Christmas gift, too: a screen protector film; haven't used any in 2 years or so & keyboard taps are visible all over that area, not to mention the sidebar...:p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] leehawyard:
It appears I have very similar symptoms to the microp error:

- The screen is totally blank (black), before it went black, when the screen would auto-shut off after 30 seconds (as expected), but it would not turn black (off), but turn a grey colour, as if the screen was still being illuminated. I did a soft reset to try and fix this, and after that the screen has remained black throughout.

- The D-pad light does not work (no charging indicator)

- The soft reset button doesn’t work

Until recently the phone wouldn’t charge (the phone gets hot when it charges and has been cold when I have previously connected power, but now heats up)

The phone functions normally, it vibrates when you press the power on button, when connecting it to a PC, active sync fires up and I can view all the files on the phone. So the phone itself seems to be functioning, however, I am still experiencing the problems with the screen.

I have tried the microp ‘fix’, having removed the chip at the bottom end of the phone, I have applied pressure to all areas on the back (I’m not 100% clear as to where I should apply pressure). To date the screen has not started functioning again, however, as I mentioned before, the phone did begin to charge as a result of pressing the back.

Can someone confirm that this is the microp error based on the symptoms (I didn’t get any microp warnings on the phone), and give any further advice as to what I can do to fix it?

can anyone please help me?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rcfc87:
Hi everyone, i had the same problem with my HTC Touch HD (Blackstone) and was disheartened when I couldn't find any instructions to help me out and to the contrary saw posts saying I'd need to replace the motherboard.

I thought I'd just take it all apart and see if there was anything loose/dirty. The LCM is the connection to the underside (screen side) of the motherboard. I gave it all a good clean and make sure all the other connections were alright. For now it seems ok...

I needed a T5 screwdriver so I bought a 31-piece set from Maplins for a fiver. Used tweezers and magnifying glass for the fiddly bits..

Two guides I used for my work (below). I concentrated on the bottom part of the phone because thats where the motherboard is and also that used to get very warm for me, so I skipped all the steps for the top stuff.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4248631&postcount=57 This post was useful and on that thread there was also someone who froze their phone for 20 mins in a freezer bag. I did this and it actually worked to get my phone up and running again but i was still getting errors.

Anyway good luck

Thank youuuuuuuu a gasilion timesss for this awesome post and awesome tutorial. It helped me a lot and made me even more happy now that my WiFi is working. I asked every celular shop in my town and nobody had a clue how to fix the WiFi of my HTC Touch Diamond. You are the man. :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Thebling:
Sorry to be a pain but I would like to clarify the exact issue you had with your device? I noticed you stated screen issue, was the screen not responsive?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] stkl:
OK, got the problem with my Blackstone (Touch HD), after leaving it in the car last night (OK, it's 2.5yrs old, maybe it dropped sometimes before), screen works perfectly, but phone doesn't wake up after standby, only evere .. 10-20 attempts, botted with screen mirrored and shows the error message. Gonna try to fix it tomorrow when I'm back at home (T5 screwdriver should definitely be swiss knife equipment)

Hope it works as easy as the diamond tutorial. Thanks rcfc for your post, maybe helpful ;)

Btw. using latest Energy ROM but that should not be the point as the error occures before boot.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] stkl:
Wow, got it fixed! Opened, disassambled, cleaned, checked all connectors and et voilà, seems it works fine again.

Wow, siddharthsai u rulzZz. 10 min and my diamond work perfect. Thx alot man u help me alot. Best Regards
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DeMonello:
Good, very very thanks!!:D

Tried all type of soft and hard reset, I'm trying to mount/unmount the diamond in this way, from 2 days: but I was stupid, I used only my finger to press/open/close the connectors.

Thinking "no, it's not the same problem"... :rolleyes:

The right way (for me):

Using a little screwdriver, pushing from the bottom of the connectors, pressing upwards, looking from the battery place:

- first the connector on the right, this one it's very easy, the stip is a little longer, block it looking from the battery, or from the right side.

- then the left one, which is more difficult to put into right place

(looking from the battery place, pressing upwards, from side to side, until it stops completely in the right position).

- Finally the strip at the top. Block it.

Now the battery... Wow, it works! LOL!!:D

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] RudiXXL:
Fix the bigger connector with a little part of an old SIM card

To solve this problem, i cut down a 3mm wide band from an old SIM card. The sickness is fitting perfectly under the bigger connector. I made my 1st repair to this topic without this small part and after the first time the Diamond dropped down only on the table the problem was back at all. With the small SIM card band, whitch i leaved in the phone with some double sided tape, the Diamond can fall also on the floor. And now, after falling on the floor, the phone is working!!! No mor problems on this failure over the past two years. Try it!

Awesome :) I replaced my screen on my 2nd diamond and the wifi wasn't good so I opened to check the antenna and it was not connected and after I put it back together I got this error I thought I had broke it.. But this guide saved me..

Although I probably would have took it apart again and then built it carefully which would have solved it anyway but thanks for this :)

[HD2 Accessories] spoogedemon:
hello,

i just bought a htc c200 to charge my hd2 in the car.

this cable is very interessting for getting conected with the notebook on travel too - in theory, because it doesn´t work for me.

it seems, that it is only possible to charge the phone with this cable, but can´t get the phone to sync with the pc using it.

do you have experiences with the cable?

is mine defect, or isn´t it provided to use it for something else than charging?

many thanks in advance.

best regards

mario
[HD2 Accessories] DN41:
i'm not sure, but i think that only the contacts for loading are connected.

the others are just left empty...htc sells it as "charging cable", so this could be correct ;)

so, im running the second leak 2.1 on my eris, when i installed it i was unable to access the "download more widgets" link nor was i able to download the verizon skype program from the link provided when sent a text to 2255, would tell me that i didnt have a certified device

2 days ago i got a alert that more widgets were available, and given access to the "download more widgets" thing, now today i find the link for skype works, but skype still is not in market

just as an fyi to all, to me this tells me the official update is coming very soon
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thawkth:
skype

Were you actually able to download skype from that link?

I'm redirected to the "Sorry, skype unavailable for your handset" page.

If you go to skype.com/vzw you'll see what I mean...

Still, I *really* hope we can get a leaked root final 2.1...or a bootloader with more features :)

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaos67731:
So I was running logcat to see what it was.. (I guess this is where I should tell you I am not a Dev and I dont know command line)

Well I did it once and things looked good. There was a lot of info, and most of it was well over what I know. Still cool.

Then I was going to do it again and I think I pushed the wrong thing..

In the command box it started to run over some stuff and that was ok.. Then it stop...

But as soon as I got a text, a lot of info started to pop up again. well I may not know command that well but I am guessing it is showing me what is going on in my phone and I would like to know how to re-do this.

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

adb remount

adb shell

(This is the line I think i typed the wrong thing in, but should of been logcat)

And a good question would be, is this what logcat should be doing?

Any help would be great!

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VinceOB:
You dont run logcat inside your shell. adb logcat needs to be run in the /tools folder where SDK is installed.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Negrito:
instead of "adb shell" type "adb logcat"
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaos67731:
Thanks, and that will give me a live feed of what the phone is running?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkirton:
You can also use ddms (which is in the same folder as the adb) and it will allow you to view it in real time in a gui.

Type ddms and it should work.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaos67731:
So type,

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

adb remount

ddms

Hi...

Is it possible to remove the "Messaging" app from my HTC Magic with some AmonRa-Rom?

I really like the blacklisting in Handcent and ChompSMS, but when the blacklisted stuff is still in the Messaging-app, it kind of defeats the purpose, right???

/Dime
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cacheinjection:
yeah sure,

go into terminal emulator and type this

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm /system/app/mms.apk

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DimebagDK:
Thanks for your answer... but I'm not getting it to work...

I'm using a Terminal Emulator from Market, and when trying to remove mm.apk it responds with a "No such file or directory"

:-(

I have root, and when trying it the first time, the "SuperUser Permissions" thing popped up, and I pressed "Allways allow"

EDIT : Ok, did the apparantly stupid thing, and deleted Mms.apk (capital M) and all looked to be ok, BUT i wasn't able to receive messages... Messaging-app was gone though... Had to restore it (yeah, i did backup :) ) and I was able to receive messages again... but the app is back too... :(

There is no mms.apk in my app-dir... :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stari4ek:
I was able to receive messages with Handcent after removing Mms.apk, but I saw them in popup only. Looks like message storage doesn't work without it. Restored.

Suddenly my message sound is gone, so is the vibrate function. The phone will play and vibrate when i get a call, but not when reciving an sms.

Under Settings -> Sounds i have turned "New message" on, and chosen a sound.

Running Artemis Rom, but this happend out of nowhere, long time after the phone was flashed. No new aps installed when the problem occurred.

same done in Advanced settings, but still no sound. Some help?
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
Do you know that messages use 'System volume' and not 'Ringer volume' ? So maybe only your 'system volume' is lowered to zero.
[HD2 General] Eggy88:
Nope system volume is 100%, tried the sound with several other programs so that's not it.
[HD2 General] chewee133:
I have the same probleme on my HD2. Yesterday i still had sound, vibration and led nitification. And now only the led notification works.

All the other sounds work, infact i also have some new "blip" sound on message notifiction that i can't put off.
[HD2 General] chris-mc:
i had the same problem this today

after a soft reset,the sounds worked again.
[HD2 General] chewee133:
My sound probleme was due to a change of language in the register (from french to english, 1036 to 409).

I put back the french language, soft reset, and it works again.

[General Topics] Agronis:
My current situation is as follows:

I was on Alltel, then Verizon bought it. The location in which the account originated from (Orangeburg, SC area) is being divested and sold to some no-name company. In the process, even though we are on "Verizon" service, I have 1-2 bars.. constantly.

Now, the move is happening, our account is ending because we are refusing service, as we have no service.

The other two people on the account have already moved to AT&T, because that was their only choice as they live out in nowhere. Whereas, I'm in a semi-populated city, Charleston SC.

Heres my problem..

I want, or at least I think I do, the HTC Incredible.. It could be two weeks before its out.. two months, who the hell knows..

I wouldn't mind an iPhone, but the lack of user customization kills me.. the whole "loyalty" to apple blows and it probably wont be long till the next ver of iPhone is released (they found deeper in the iPad OS "iPhone 3.2" and "3.3"..).

I could even go with Sprint for the Evo 4g.. but, no I'm good..

Will Verizon allow me to sign a contract and honor a phone deal for a phone that isn't even out yet, for something they can't even price me for?

If I have no choice but to get an iPhone, do I just grab a simple 3G (I could care less about picture messaging) since a new one is around the corner.. or is the 3GS really that much better?

Help.. I'm at a wall.

I'm currently rockin an Touch Pro, but I need something with some power to it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Thunder Blade:
Hello

I have a strange problem with Wi-Fi in my rhodium. I have to wait about one minute to load any data from Internet (for example load google page in web browser). It heppens only after i soft reset or switch on rhodium. I enable Wi-Fi and then try to load google or something other - I wait about minute to load page. After that everything works fine. If i switch off Wi-Fi and switch on again it also works good. My problem heppens only after fresh wi-fi start after reset. It heppens at all web browsers and others applications. I tried also hard reset. I have stock rom 6.1. Someone can help me? I have no idea :/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Does this only happen with a single wifi location (i.e. your home), or anywhere you use wifi?

If this is related to your home wifi, you might be able to sign into your router's management portal page and watch to see if the router shows an active connection with your TP2 as soon as the phone says it's connected, or if there's a delay there..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Thunder Blade:
I didn't check it with other location than my home network - becouse I don't switch off my pda when im outside, but i will try it :P Today i rebooted my router and pda and then turned on wi-fi on pda. After that.. wi-fi worked without wait, i repeated it 3 times and it works lol. Router see connection of pda without delay. I have no idea now what it is but im happy that it works now. I reboot my router often so i dont think that it could be a router problem which disappear after reboot, but time will show. :) I will write if this problem comes again.
[HD2 General] d0ug:
I'm wanting to find out if the noise in some of the photos i've taken is normal for the HD2

I expect noise in a camera like this, it's just the nature of having such a small high mega pixel count sensor, I just wanted to find out if what im experiencing is normal. I've got a week left on my 14 days and would like to exchange it if it's not normal

This is probably the worst of them all that I did lastnight

http://twitpic.com/1cs2cl/full Look at the banding noise at the bottom of the frame.

http://twitpic.com/1cs4lj/full This one has some too, but not as bad as the other

http://twitpic.com/1cs50y/full This one looks like it may be a optics problem, look at the red halo around the sykes sign. the 1st time i took the pic i though maybe there was a smudge on the lens so i wiped it and still had the same result
[HD2 General] ieilisuk:
Perfectly normal.

You're taking pictures at night and even standalone digital cameras would struggle to take a decent picture in those conditions.

The Camera will be ramping up the ISO which increases the noise anyway (and as you pointed out coupled to a small sensor just isnt great), the only way to take a decent picture with noise that isnt noticable is to use a tripod, a very small aperture and a very long shutter.

This, being a phone, doesn't have the luxury of that kind of control.

Just take pictures during the day and they are decent enough. :p
[HD2 General] quasi_mojo:
i get it too, including the exceptionally bright flash that usually washes out most photos, just have to live with it im afraid, or fiddle with camera settings, see what happens, but you'd have to constantly change them between night and day....
[HD2 General] d0ug:
Thanks, Yeah i expected the noise in pics from the phone. Just the banding was concerning me a little bit.

It actually does pretty good at night in certain situations, there are more pics on my twitpic account from last night that came out ok, very little noise, though a bit more blur. im guessing it probably picked a lower ISO for those.

I have to agree, the camera on the HD2 is outstanding in the daylight, nearly rivals the Sony T33 that ive carried around for a long time for quick snapshots. I just wish they could put a small optical zoom on the camera, even something as small as the 3x optical zoom im used to the with T33. im sure that's asking a bit much with the space constraints within a phone. Im still happy none the less.

The camera in my old Wizard was worthless, i barely ever used it. It was passable outside on a bright day, useless under normal indoor lighting conditions or darker.

Found myself in several situations where i wanted to take a pic but didn't have the T33 on me. HD2 = problem solved =)
