[Desire General] Bandare:
I've got an issue with mine. If I go to switch it off, it just hangs with the little window in the middle saying Power Off and then the little spinning thing and Shutting Down.

To switch off I have to take the back off and pull the battery out. I've left it 15 minutes each time and it still does the same and hangs :(

Any thoughts?
[Desire General] zonkkk:
Mine took about 10 mins to turn off yesterday. I was thinking maybe it tries to update the contacts, etc? I was out at the time and I was using a gsm data connection. I wouldn't be worried about it though. Definitely not taking it back...
[Desire General] ipodtouch1001:
I don't want to take it back, I just think it's not normal so i should take it back, I'm gonna today.
[Desire General] zonkkk:
It is definitely not a problem with the phone but with the software.

It can be the Android OS, or the HTC Sense UI, or some App, that you used and took a long time to close...

Try Turning it OFF, then ON. And the Turn OFF again, and see how long it takes. It will only be about 30sec.
[Desire General] jm997:
How about doing it the Windows Mobile way? Just take out the battery and reinsert -> instant shutdown.

I don't see why anyone would return a smartphone for long shutdown times though. You're not supposed to turn the phone off!
[Desire General] zonkkk:
You may want to switch it off to put another SIM|SD Card in, or just reset the counters.

But I totally agree that returning a phone for this reason only is quite out of the ordinary.
[Desire General] scotch whisky:
Hi,

Before you return the phone you may want to try the following:-

Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset

This of course will wipe all data and applications from the phone but is the only way to prove if it is hardware or software.

I would bet that it is a software problem more than likely to have been caused by "Advanced Task Killer".

People will not accept that any sort of Task Killer is not necessary on an Android phone but you can bet that they will continue to install them!

I REPEAT DO NOT USE A TASK KILLER!

Even though I am shouting it will not make any difference!
[Desire General] ipodtouch1001:
I have uninstalled it several days ago and no difference
[Desire General] The_Stranger:
Uninstalling does not always mean 100% of the app is removed. It might have left some things behind which cause your problem...
[Desire General] ipodtouch1001:
I think the problem may be with wifi switched on, as now when I have it switched off, it is far quicker.
[Desire General] EroThraX:
I've only had one slow shut down when an application had messed up and started to lock my phone up, so presumably a slow shut down means it's having trouble closing a certain application.
[Desire General] ipodtouch1001:
Sadly it appears turning off wifi does not solve the problem. I don't know what application could be the problem as I've had this problem since I bought it and it had no apps on it.
[Desire General] Arthur Hucksake:
Got the same problem here, no idea what causes it tbh. Seems to be taking a lifetime to shut down.

Just going to leave it plugged in on charge and goto bed, hope its shut down by the morning. lol
[Desire General] lukeyboymac:
Well I've gone from instant swith off to waiting 30 mins before I got bored and pulled the battery (hey I used to have a winmo phone!). Blatently some rogue app is the problem here. A handy hard reset has solved all the problems. Just need to indentify which one of the 20 odd apps did it is the problem...
[Desire General] HoneyBeFly:
Happened to me too! Used to switch off instantly but yesterday I waited for 10-15 mins before I pulled the battery.
[Desire General] ipodtouch1001:
I really, really hope this is just a software bug as I'm gettting sick and tired of it. Strangely my phone seems too take longer to turn off the longer it is left on.
[Desire General] irkan:
is this really an issue? .. i mean how many times you gonna need to turn off your phone? .. i hardly think that its "not" a software issue, if its a real problem that a hot fix will be released phone, whats your firmware version number?
[Desire General] ipodtouch1001:
I'm on 1.15.110.11. I can understand that for may people this would not be aan issue at all, but sadly I have to regularly switch sim cards for business/ personal use and it is increasingly an issue, T-Mobile didn't help and said I have to wait for when they release the firmware update to see if it makes a difference.
[Desire General] TH1882FC:
Out of interest why do you feel the need to turn it off?
[Desire General] irkan:
I see, ... than i would advice you to replace it, you are still in the 7 days period right?

if you replaced it and still got the same issue, than you have nothing left but to wait for the firmware update, but replace it now just to make sure that its not a faulty device
[Desire General] ipodtouch1001:
I know, but the guys in the shop said I had to wait for the next firmware update ( I already had the current one) to see which is really frustrating and unhelpful.
[Desire General] DoAndroidsDream:
Posted a new thread because I'm a newbie lacking search-fu, relocating to here.

Having the problems many of you are describing, including the phone not turning off at all overnight. I just tried: Cold boot, uninstalled Advanced Task Killer and turned off wifi - the phone then shut down normally.

Am still playing with the settings.
[Desire General] ipodtouch1001:
It's really really frustrating for me, nothing we can do at the moment seems to be able to stop it.

Edit: in past experience on my phone, it will bebe quick to turn off if it has just turned on. The longer my phone is left on the longer it takes to turn off.

pls anyone i would like to upgrade my phone to wm 6.1 or 6.5 w/o using sd card and just my pc pls
[HD2 General] iphoneresister:
I've decided that typing a password every time I wake my HD2 is too much of a pain, so as an alternative my plan was to set up MyPhone so that in the event of loss/theft, I could go online and find/lock/kill the phone. Alas, no Belgian carriers support the advanced features of MyPhone.

So I'm exploring alternatives. In particular, looking for remote find/lock/erase features - I don't care about syncing any content from the phone. Searched these forums, and here's the list so far:

Ultimate Theft Alert

Remote Tracker

Can anyone add other alternatives to the list? And what are your experiences with these two apps (efficacy, impact on battery/performance, etc.)?

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] X70G2:
Hi,

i am very new to Android development and my app needs to manage a sqlite3 DB. I have a few very basic questions, for which i could not find an answer in the Android dev guide. I use Eclipse with ADT Plugin 0.95 and an AVD for testing on a Wondows machine.

- With reference to "Examining sqlite3 Databases from a Remote Shell" in Developing->Tools, is adb the only option i have to launch a remote shell to handle databases? How do i do it from Eclipse?

- Is there a tool i can use to created sqlite3 databases that i can then load on my AVD or device?

Many thanks in advance,

x70
[Android Software Development] zer0day:
The dev docs you mention are referring to inspecting the databases on the device which is useful for debugging, you can't do this via Eclipse, only via command prompt or terminal. To handle a database in code, either extend SQLiteOpenHelper or create a custom class that interacts with your DB via Context#createOrOpenDatabase.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] elyl:
I take it a release version of Extendir 2 is on its way?

EDIT: Was installing the most recent version of you ROM the other night, with the lovely new DINIK icons. Had an idea for the regular version - most of the icons from the Start Menu are stored as .png files in \Windows. Can you create an \Extendir\Windows\Icons folder and have them all installed in there? Much like the Manila folder, it would tidy up the main Windows folder a bit, and would also be easier to check which icons you have available (I copied over all of DINIKs icons so I can fill in any missing ones I have).

[General Questions and Answers] BloodSeaker:
Hi

I was wondering what i takes to change the text color in the startmenu in a WinMo 6.5.x installation.

The registry method with color 39 does not seem to work anymore. I also tried a SK tool but no success either.

Anyone with some tips?
[General Questions and Answers] MadGutts:
I too have a problem with WM6.5...

I have a HTC Touch Pro II which i have upgraded from the Touch Pro and its a far better phone, but i keep having menu text colour problems...

Basically, i created a theme for my old phone and installed it on my new one and it worked for a few days, then the menu text which started as all white, stated changing to black for some of the icons - not all, but a few days later they are all black, and on my black background its impossible to read...

So i changed the theme, all text again 2 different colours! different theme same thing :S

So went to the MS theme maker software which to cut a very long story short, finally managed to get a theme from the site and saved on my phone!

Success! untill the phone was reset and now its 2 colours again! this really doesn't make any sence...

So 1) why are there 2 different colours setup for the menu text? and is there any software which will let me edit all the colours for themes on my laptop then upload to the phone?

Thanks guys - this is driving me nuts!!!!
[General Questions and Answers] brandontowey:
I Know This Thread Is Dead But This Will Help People Like Me Looking For A Fix

Here's how to change the Start Menu Text color:

*SAVE A COPY OF THE FILE YOU'RE EDITING SOMEWHERE IN CASE YOU SCREW SOMETHING UP!

1. Extract the file StartMenu_GridScene_480x800.cpr from your Windows directory to your desktop.

Mine includes 480x800 at the end because that's my devices resolution(Touch Pro II). If you have a different resolution, I'm pretty sure it will have that at the end of the file name.

2. Open the file on your PC with Notepad.

3. Find every occurrence of ForeColor="#00FFFFFF". Mine had two.

It might not be 00FFFFFF, but that's hex code for white so it probably will be.

4. Replace 00FFFFFF with whatever color hex code you want.

You can find any color's hex code online through Google.

5. Copy the edited file back into the Windows directory of your phone. Click yes when it asks if you want to overwrite the file.

6. I soft reset, though I don't know if it's necessary. I figure it can't hurt.

7. Check and see if it worked.

I've attached my .cpr in a ZIP file for BLACK Start Menu text. It works on my Sprint Touch Pro II, and it should work for others but it's still not my fault if something goes wrong. If you use mine, STILL SAVE A COPY OF YOUR .CPR IN CASE IT DOES SOMETHING FUNKY!

[Click Android Development] Coburn64:
Sounds like something is damaged.

Normally, a RUU should fix bricked phones. What where you doing when you bricked your phone? Flashing custom ROMs?

Are you sure it's not thinking about something? First boot on custom ROMs/RUU ROMs take about 5 minutes to get their gears into order and start churning.
[Click Android Development] paolo1976:
I just flashed modaco rom before it happened all.. but next i was able to install RUU, trying to fix like u said, but the problem is when the phone boots.. it hangs with that logcat.. and even waiting HOURS nothing happened... sigh..
[Click Android Development] Coburn64:
Hm, okay.

Can you confirm that recovery works? Hold down HOME while turning the phone on, give it a breather and it should dump you at a screen with:

That last box thing in my ascii representation is NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS (Geez) but it's a phone. Yes, I suck at ASCII Art. Press Home + End/Power to access the menu and tell me what you get.

If you can confirm that you can boot into that, you may have a slice of cake that you can nibble on while repairing your Tattoo.

[Click Android Development] Coburn64:
You're pretty much at a dead end. Your best bet is to send it to HTC for repair, or return it to your place of purchase and just say "I recieved an OS Update, and followed the instructions to install it, and then suddenly the phone froze and rebooted. After that, I couldn't get past the TATTOO logo". Don't forget to show them the story (turn the phone on, make sure it freezes, and then show them it in it's frozen state).

This is the quickest method, you'll most likely get a replacement phone or your money back, which you can possibly go and buy another one.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] philrom:
Hi.

This is very common question. If you say "how to port...", then the answer is read this forum. If you don't quite satisfy with the ROM cooked by chefs here, I suggest you start to read about "how to cook..." which can be found in this forum. That way you can cook ROM as you want. :)

Don't take this wrong way my friend, but you should ask the forum rule before create new thread otherwise will be closed by Mod.

Difference is that your phone does not have 3G or GPS. No reason why custom Rom's should not work.

So to flash a new Rom back-up your current Rom (see specific thread), apply hard SPL and select the Rom you like.....

Have fun.

Actually, one of the best ROMs I found here is based on your model. This one : New [ROM] [6.5.3_23541_WWE_Radio_3.53.25.20], uploaded by TangerineTractor. It's awesome and I recommend it to you.
