[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnibravo:
Hi,

Recently I have been having a problem with my G1.

When I have left my phone on stanby for a period of time and I press the menu key to turn on the screen the screen back light comes up but it's blank.

I have to press the end key periodically to get the screen to come on this can take anything from 5secs to 1min. I have reflashed and wiped several times and tried different themes but it still does it.

I am running cyanogen 4.2.15.1 with the enoch theme updated via cyanogen updater.

It does not do this all the time it did it more with Darkstar.

I have been told I should re-root but I am worried about doing this because I am on the new radio and have been told I cannot flash back.

What to do???
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] protomanez:
Then why don't you just change roms and see if the problem still consists :S
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
DREAIMG.nbh will over-write you radio and spl, no worries there if you wanted to go that way but I think it's a little too extreme. What you need to do is a complete wipe and stable rom with no a2sd or swap. Once that's running for you - start adding stuff 1 at the time. Sooner or later you will pinpoint the problem.

Good luck.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnibravo:
Ok I reformatted the partition and set it back up using amon ra 1.5.2 swap 96 ext 512 then installed super d 1.10.2 and slowly added apps to my a2sd, did on Friday no problem till Thursday afternoon it once again I pressed menu and the screen stayed black after pressing the end key repeatedly it came back up about 30 seconds later.

2 theories here

Could it be because I am using a class 2 sd card or

Could it be related to a lock screen, before I used lockbot though I uninstalled it it still happened noww I am using lock screen 2.0 the day after it started happening.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
Cyanogenmod has always done this on every version I've flashed. Try a different release.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnibravo:
I am on super d 1.10.2 not cyanogen, do you mean a rom that does not use cyanogen guts???
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazuki1:
hey i've also got this problem but it's kind of different, 1 im not running cyanogen, 2 it might be a hardware issue with your's as it is one with mine. So far i think its the flex cable but not too sure. My screen would go black and whenever i try pressing the home or something the device would just completely shut off. I would remove the battery and have to try and boot it up at least a couple of times before it decides to work properly.Any ideas? i might get a new flex cable but im not sure if thats the real problem.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Super-D does use few CM bits and pieces in his rom but that's should not be the problem.

Do you use any home replacement apps?

Do you use a task manager?

If so, make sure that your taks manager is not killing your home. Do make sure that it kills other memory intensive apps when not in use

If you use stock home then make sure to check "Keep Home in memory" in the "Spare Parts", see if that helps.

Sounds like either a memory leak somewhere (one of the apps) or a hardware problem. Let's hope for the first.

And yes.... please get rid of that class 2 card ASAP. New class 6 8 Gb card is around $15 and will last your thru few devices so its a money well spent.

Good luck.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnibravo:
I pretty certain it's not a hardware problem as there is no pattern to when it happens, I do have a habit of installing different home apps as I like to try them all that could be the problem.

]I give that a try

[HD2 General] FreakyFerret:
I'm trying to remove the partnership my phone has with a work computer so I can use it at home for the weekend. The instructions tell me to go to Settings, Tools, ActiveSync, Menu. Problem is there is no ActiveSync options there on the HTC HD2!

Anyone know how to bring it back? I'm assuming it's a registry edit. Help. :(

Edit: NEver mind. Found it in the Tools. :/ I'm blind.
[XPERIA X10 General] w0nton:
Can someone help me. I turned on the playnow in mediascape and now it always force closes because of playnow. Is there a way to turn off playnow or fix the problem in anyway? A hard reset maybe?
[XPERIA X10 General] kimchi29:
Even with playnow disabled in mediascape i get the forced close error message
[XPERIA X10 General] waleed786:
it happened to me and I fixed it with a hard reset. There probably another way to do it but I just didnt have the time to look around and I had no info on my phone so I just did a restore to factory setting and it got fixed. Its probably because playnow is not compatible in the USA.
[XPERIA X10 General] ratheen:
Need to update

there is an update out there, it's called version R16 (you may have R14).

X10 does not find this OTA, so you have to use the SE update service while connected to the computer to fix this (it worked for me)

also it only works in UK / Europe. (i am in US so i can't use it)
[XPERIA X10 General] TechAddict1:
PlayNow

Change the timezone to something like GMT+x (i.e. GMT+2) and then start PlayNow. Then the update should be available for download. After the update is finished then you should be able to set any timezone you want and PlayNow should work without force closing.
[XPERIA X10 General] needmoregigs:
You are my hero/heroine! I've been dealing with the playnow fc problem for a while now. Your time zone solution worked perfectly. Thank you so very much.

No more fc when messages come in!

[HD2 General] cgrec92:
Hi all

I know in Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Connections -> Advanced Network you have the option to do it from there

But right now I have got to stick with my Tmobile UK stock rom for warranty purposes for the next week because i have an internet problem with the hsdpa

This crappy 1.43 rom does not provide this option in the advanced network and i cannot find any other way to disable it

I would really rather to not have to flash a cooked rom to make the internet usable again just so i have to reflash back in 5 days.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[HD2 General] toof4st:
To get to the Windows Mobile Settings, Go To HTC Settings.

Then choose "Menu" from the bottom right of the screen and choose All Settings

Then follow your instructions from above.
[Hero CDMA General] frostrunner:
First off here are my specs:

Using windows 7 ultimate (x86)

"Non Google" branded phone

Firmware Vrs: 2.1-update1

Baseband: 1.04.01.09.21

Kernel: 2.6.29-d30020a8

Build: RegawMOD v2.0.1

Software: 2.20.651.1

PRI: 1.70_003

PRL: 60663

First off let me say that i never had to use the PRI fix or use my MSL to reset the device (although i have it just in case =P).

I did hear though that the 1.70 PRI did not work well for the MNS and even heard it didnt work for Damage and Regaw's Roms. But i wanted it to work badly enough i worked on trying to fix it for days =P.

I havnt tested it on the newest damage or regaw roms yet, just regaw 2.0.1.

I pretty much followed the guide i found here for the HTC tattoo. http://blog.brightpointuk.co.uk/installing-htc-tattoo-usb-modem-windows-7

So first off these are the exact steps i went through to eventually get it working; go to start/programs/HTC and uninstall your HTC sync and HTC drivers, IF they are there that is. Leave your phone unplugged for now. Restart your computer when and if it asks.

Go to http://www.htc.com/www/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=283&act=sd&cat=all and get the latest HTC Sync.

Install the sucker, when it asks you to take off your firewalls and such, do that just in case. Go to control panel/Windows firewall/change firewall settings to turn them off.

When the install is completely finished turn back on your firewall. Then Restart your PC again. When you reboot, plug in your phone once and choose the "Disk Drive" setting, let your PC find the drivers and install them, when it finishes, scroll down the notification bar on the phone, tap charge only, then go change your phone to HTC sync, let it install any other drivers then change your phone internet sharing. It will install some more drivers again, if it fails to do so, follow what the guide from the link says. Also please disable any current wireless connections or wired connections you may have at the moment =P. A new wired connection should come up identified as "Connection 4 or 5 or 6" depending on how many existing types of internet connections you have. Set it to home settings, open up internet explorer, go try google.com as your first site to see if it works =P.

Thats it. Thats what i did, pretty much i just reinstalled all the drivers and tried the new HTC sync. Personally i think it was the versions of the drivers that made it work. But who knows =P

Post your experiences/fixes you came up with so everyone can start to use the feature. Also please post the OS you are using because that will make a difference.
[Hero CDMA General] regaw_leinad:
That shouldn't work where as the 67 error that everyone is getting is a SPRINT registration error, nothing to do with drivers on the pc lol
[Hero CDMA General] frostrunner:
I used to get the 67 error as well =P

now it works after i did this

something to try at least.
[Hero CDMA General] regaw_leinad:
ok I have xp, i'll try it out (or something similar)
[Hero CDMA General] frostrunner:
But were ya saying that the error 67 is a network communication error?

like the phone is contacting sprint to see if your account has the PAM feature or something?

cause my plan includes the PAM feature cause im a sprint employee, but i was still getting the error 67 on 1.5 and earlier 2.1 sprint leak roms.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rotohammer:
This is a work in progress. I fixed the code at http://code.google.com/p/android-vnc/ . It has limited value right now, but someone may have a use for it.

It listens on standard port 5900. I copy the fbvncserver app to /data/local/bin/ using adb:

adb push fbvncserver /data/local/bin/

From adb shell (with wifi on) run the commands:

# chmod +x /data/local/bin/fbvncserver
# fbvncserver

From your desktop computer, use any Vnc client to connect to your phone using its wifi ip address.

To do: Compile and test the keyboard driver. Add code to enable using a mouse to control the session, as theres no code for that yet.

Download fbvncserver

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
Wait what?

Control PC from phone, or control phone from PC?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] d0ugie:
Well, right now at least (unless I'm doing it wrong), neither -- you can watch your phone with your PC. A just because kind of thing.

Get this thing running, fire up a vnc client on your machine, get cam studio humming and there's your video screen capture.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ruqqq:
does it display the correct colours now?

i tried fixing it back then, even compiled the keyboard driver to the kernel. but i can't seem to register any input. i hope you succeed. i would love a vnc on my phone! :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rotohammer:
See that, I knew someone would find value in it. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rotohammer:
Yes, colors are fixed. I'm working on the keyboard driver now.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Vrbanjac:
I wonder if there's any app/program that can make me use my HD2 as a internet source through WLAN? I've already searched the forum for this kind of question without sucess, so now I wonder if this option are availible in the HD2 or if someone could make a app for that.

And if it is availible as a option in the HD2, I'd really need some instructions.

Regards Vrbanjac :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Quinny:
theres a program called wifi router in the phone. where you can connect your laptop or pc too and use your data connection to access the internet.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Vrbanjac:
Yes. I know that =) But with WiFi router I can't use WLAN as a internet source right?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chris_ah1:
So what do you want?

HSDPA --> HD2 --> wifi --> laptop?

Wifi --> HD2 --> wifi/usb --> laptop?

I think it's the latter.

You can connect your HD2 to an access point. However, then it is in infrastructure mode. It only has one radio with no virtual radio option. You cannot connect to a WLAN network AND simultaneously broadcast your own ad-hoc one.

However, you can connect the device to a WLAN network and connect it via usb to a laptop and then when it connects select 'internet modem' out of active sync and disk drive on the menu that appears on the phone.

Then disable the phone in commanager to force it to use wifi.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kilrah:
His question isn't clear at all, but I presume it's rather Wifi->HD2->laptop via USB, i.e make a USB Wifi dongle. In that case, WMWifirouter can do it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chris_ah1:
as soon as he plugs in the HD2 via usb it will offer the 'use phone as gateway' option. no need to dialup I think. i havent tested it tho.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Enchanter:
your laptop has no Wife function ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chris_ah1:
perhaps he has another need for a second wifi card...yes, you techies know why you would need more than one wifi device or mac address...tehee, yes you do :)

Enchanter has a point though - why not get a usb dongle or pcmcia stick?

Better performance, less heat/strain on phone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] alex fung:
Look for Wifi Remote Access. Turns HD2 into something like a web server. You can browse and upload files to it from any other computer.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Vrbanjac:
Okay thank you, and yes i mean Wifi --> HD2 --> wifi/usb --> laptop/PC.

Need it because of my wifi card is broken, and sometimes it is really usefull to have something like this.

And thank you all =) Will try what you recommended.

[Hero CDMA Accessories] smoother2010:
which do you think is better:

phantom skinz or invisible shield?

i tried both and invis was cloudy looking. phantomz is great but it leaves dents and impressions that won't go away. :(

sorry if this is the wrong place to ask.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] regaw_leinad:
It's cool. I'm using Ghost Armor, and I love it.

Very protective and easy to see through. almost like nothing's there.

http://www.ghost-armor.com/
[Hero CDMA Accessories] smoother2010:
thanks, ill give it a look.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] mrinehart93:
Just curious, but do you even need a screen protector? I've gone since the release date of the Hero until now and I have 0 scratches on my screen... it's pretty resilient glass they used :)
[Hero CDMA Accessories] regaw_leinad:
And when I got it, there was a special on the website for the Hero, like buy the whole case for the price of the screen protector.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] smoother2010:
yes you should have one and id recommend a body glove case as well. with the known dust issues, anything helps.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] rlaxton:
I had the invisible shield, put it on right as I unboxed the phone, it looked perfect. Starting peeling off about 2 months later, still has a nice fit on the screen but everything else is gone. Kinda mad I spent 30 bucks.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] ruben8448:
My friend got the ghost armor on his blackberry and i think its pretty good. I would recommend that, its a bit more pricey but well worth it.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] bubbacs1:
Go to BoxWave.com

Look for the Clear Touch (anti-glare)

They make the screen look VERY black when off, yet allow you very clear access when on.....make sense?

Very protective....very hard.....custom fit.

I have been using since right before the TiLt.

This is NOT a flimsy screen protector.

And I have ZERO bubbles with this brand!

Thanks,

Bubba.

can you remove ghost armor and reapply it to another phone? i know you can with phantom skinz & invisible shield.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] regaw_leinad:
I haven't personally done it, BUT I think it said you can. Check out the website, I think it tells you. But it's really good stuff. I like it a lot.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] showbo:
How the hell did you manage that? I am being way careful, and with a screen protector, I have a slight scratch on the screen... :( Aww good though. :)
[Hero CDMA Accessories] willy900wonka:
I have some POS ebay $3 for 3 screen protector, which has a sticky side that loves dust. The outside is clear and has some "self healing" scratch removing stuff.

BTW I found that once the protective film is removed from the screen protector ( prior to applying) it collected fine particles of dust which caused bumps and little vacuoles. It has a high static attraction cover which Can be neutralized so the protector can be positioned and moved.

The way I did it was with windex. I sprayed and wiped/removed any clinging dust. Then shook off violently any windex, so only really small droplets were left. Placed the protector in position, which now slides with a firm push. Gently squeegeed off any windex with a towel at the edge of the screen, preventing any from going under it. The result is a bump free stuck on, reuseable dust protector.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Dochoppy:
I am using

8 gauge clear vinyl.

$2.99 a square yard from local JoAnn fabric. Works very nicely. For me has been better by far than the $20.99 invisishield crap bestbuy originally put on my phone. I do not have a cloudiness issue, and bubbles are easily worked out when first applying. 8 gauge is fairly thin, if you want something a little thicker you might go with the 10 or 12. 4 gauge was way to thin for my taste.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] rjj1976:
I've had my Hero since Day 1 and carry it in my pocket and there isn't a mark on the screen. I don't think you need a screen protector with this phone.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] DjNawo:
If I recall correctly, they'll replace it for free at one of their stores (probably in your local mall.) They told me they had a lifetime warranty so any time it peeled off they would replace it.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] macvalentine:
i got one of those cheap-o screen protectors from ebay. so far its working fine since i baby the hell out of the phone. That ghost armor is lookin really good i might just have to try it myself.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Nanan00:
I put a invis-a-shield on my phone right off the bat and had it on for the first few months but in January it started pealing off then just vanished(fell out of pocket somewhere). The phone has gone 4 months sans screen protector and the screen looks brand new and is much slicker then with the protector on in terms of friction. The phone body is starting to show signs of wear, big chunk missing in the body near head phone jack from a 12' fall down the stairs and the end call button is stripped to just red.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] subcypher:
I had an InvisibleShield screen protector on since launch day. It eventually became too scuffed and bubbly for me. I didn't feel like going through the warranty process, so I just bought another one from Best Buy. I figured that $23 per year was not a big deal. When I tried to put it on, my touch screen freaked the hell out. I tried reboots and reapplications and nothing helped. I just decided that it's been a year and I'll be upgrading in a year or so. I'm going cover-less until then. Besides, I pay for the insurance. Sprint can replace it, right? ;)
[Hero CDMA Accessories] jonnythan:
The clear vinyl is way worse than the $2.99 eBay, especially in terms of fit and tactility.

Anyway, I've been going for the past 3 months with no protector at all. I'm much happier for it.
