[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] doubts:
Hello guys,

I have a TP2 with T-mobile.The only Update that I've done to it was the Htc update to 6.1 and the 1% increase update. nothing else. Today on my BIRTHDAY, all i did was wake up turned my screen on to type my password in which hasn't changed since I first got the phone, and every time i typed it in and touch on the UNLOCK key, it would say it was incorrect. I know what my PASSWORD is im 100% sure of it..moving on I tried for a few more times and it kept on saying the same thing, So i decided to take the battery off and turn it back on . It started up just fine, I typed in my PASSWORD and touched the UNLOCK Key and Didn't let me go through with it THERE WAS NO !Notification that it was PUT IN incorrect or nothing:/...I did the battery off, and back to On, I Also took the Sim out and put it back in, but still same thing...Thought about the HARD RESET, I pushed it in with the Stylus pen..and when it took me back to the PASSWORD screen, I typed in my PASSWORD and it did the same thing :/. I really don't know what else to do. :confused::confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gtisackey:
I suddenly discovered that my TP2 with a 6.5 ROM which has been working for a while now is no longer accepting my password. This password is the same for all my phones and so i am 100% sure that it has not been changed. Is there any other way i can get past this password screen and clear it without hard resetting the phone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] da9th_one:
stop stealing peoples touch pro2's...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] chris247:
They do not try to steal anything.

The WM Password system is buggy: the enter button after you have entered your password is not functional (it does not even say wrong password !)

And it is not funny at all, you loose ALL your data because of this stupid Microsoft bug.

If someone has a solution ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] KnightmareCS:
I just had the same damn problem. Does anyone have a solution at all? It happened right as I entered the NY AutoShow and really wanted to take pics. WTF is this nonsense.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] chris247:
I have investigated heavily on this problem.

... unfortunately no other solution than hard-reset (so I did it.. )

And then NEVER reuse this crappy WM built-in password login.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] KnightmareCS:
What a buggy POS! Looks like I'll be testing S2U...

THANK GOD I HAVE My Phone! It saved all my pictures/texts/contacts/tasks! All but the only video I had, which luckily wasn't important.

Now just gotta hassle with a hardreset and reuploading contacts.

Thanks Chris for confirming there's no other way.

PS to other people reading- using 1,0000,1234 does not work!

Also: DOWNLOAD My Phone and set it to sync EVERY NIGHT if you have a data plan. Definately is a LIFE SAVER!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] chris247:
I have done the same, I moved to S2U2 :)

It is a slick software... the only annoying thing it that it requires you to slide a cursor EVERY time you turn on the screen !!

that's a lost of time. Having to do that after a certain number of minutes in idle, would have been better. I wonder if there is a solution for this.

That's what I missing from the WM built-in locking feature.

I'm trying to figure out how to set up remote desktop... I'm using Kumars rom... not that that makes a difference i dont think. anyways. I'm running Windows 7 on my computer.

start ->

right click on "My Computer" ->

Properties ->

remote settings (top left hand)

remote tab ->

Allow remote assistance connections to this computer box is checked

allow connections from computers running any version of remote desktop (less secure) is checked ->

on to my phone...

i go to remote desktop mobile on it... I've read online that for the Computer dialog box i input my computers IP address... now, is that the IPV4 address that i get from the CMD box after typing IPCONFIG... or is it the address that i get when i browse over to the website www.whatismyipaddress.com ??

what do i put for my user name and password? is it my PC's password and user name? also... my ISP (internet service provider) is Verizon. i currently have their built in wireless modem up and running. i've seen the tutorial on youtube of how to set up remote desktop by going in to my router and port forwarding numbers... but thats also something i am having trouble with.... ive been cracking my head at this for over 3 hours. can someone please help
[HD2 General] Archer:
For username and password, don't bother with them. You MUST have user logins setup on your PC for this to work. When you eventually do connect to your PC, you'll be presented with the login screen, so you can enter authentication information there instead. Yes, it's your login and password for your PC, but you don't need to worry about that to actually connect.

Without seeing your specific router setup, it's difficult to help with the next part. Go to start, run and type cmd. Type IPCONFIG - this will give you the IP address that your computer has. You need to allow all traffic on port 3389 to go to that IP address. There will be something about port forwarding in your router setup (which I have to assume you know how to access).

If you have trouble, google for the model number of your router and "port forwarding" and you're bound to find a how-to page.

Incidentally, that IP address is your "internal" IP address - the one that your router assigns to your PC so you can communicate with it. When you go to whatismyipaddress it tells you the IP address of your router. You need to connect to that from outside, and the port forwarding says "someone's connecting to me on port 3389 via my external IP address. I've got port forwarding set up to allow traffic on that port to go to an internal IP address." (You may not hear it say that ;))
[HD2 General] Nano3:
this is the screen on my ip router set up
[HD2 General] Archer:
Looks fine. So did you try logging in?
[HD2 General] zdrux:
These instructions won't work if you have more than one device in your house using that router and each device will get its own IP from the router, so when a request comes in from the outside network, it won't know which IP to send the request to.

**UNLESS** you're doing it over WIFI from your phone, which would already put you on the inside network so you don't need to worry about that.

Tell us, are you trying to connect using 3G, or are you trying to connect using your in-house WiFi using the router?
[HD2 General] Archer:
Good point - I didn't pick up on the fact that the port forwarding is not asking for an end IP address.

As zdrux says, if you're connecting your HD2 to your wireless network then you can connect to your PC directly, using the internal IP address, as mentioned in the post above.
[HD2 General] Nano3:
Nope not working... im getting really irritated. i dont understand why it isnt working. do i need to be connected through my own wifi? or should i disable it?
[HD2 General] Archer:
You don't need to connect via your own wifi, as long as your router is doing it's job properly. It's easier to connect via wifi though, as you can rule out the router completely and at least get it working.

A few questions...

Do you have to log onto windows with a username and password?

Do you have windows firewall on?

What version of Windows 7 is it?
[HD2 General] zdrux:
Nobody will help if you can't answer our questions.

- Are you connecting through 3G, or through you WiFi at home? Where do you get your connection on your phone?! This is important.

- Turn off windows fire-wall completely until you solve this so you know its not getting in the way.

- Go to Control Panel > System and Security > System ..and click on "Remote Settings" in the left pane, once a new window opens up, make sure you check the box where it says "Allow assistance from other computers" and also a little lower where it says "Allow other versions of windows to connect to this computer".

- Go to your router and look for an option where you can set a computer as the DMZ, put in the IP of your computer in that box if you have one of those boxes as an option. This is the IP you see when you type "ipconfig" on your computer.

- Go to www.canyouseeme.org to test if your Remote Desktop port is open. Once you get to that webpage, type in port number 3389 and click "Check", this will confirm if it's an issue with your computer or your phone.

- Like the other person said, if this doesn't work, try connecting your computer without a router. Just get the cable running from the modem straight into your network card, unless you have one of those router/modem all-in-one things.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
If you are connecting over the home wifi, then you shouldn't need to go near port forwarding, or indeed your router at all.

the target ip is the PC address you get from cmd - ipconfig (192.168.....) and as johnc said, you can leave user and pass blank and log in directly.

If you are wanting to connect over your phones data, then the target ip is found either by visiting whatismyip or in the router, look for the wan ip address. (Example 82.27.19.187)

and in that case you set up in your router a port forward from external port 3389 to internal address (your pc address from ipconfig) on port 3389.
[HD2 General] MonnieRock:
Hello Everyone,

Not to hijack the thread but, I am having problems using remote desktop also. Maybe you can help.

Host Computer: Notebook

OS: Win xp pro

Connectivity: T-Mobile USA PCM/CIA card gprs/edge/3G

User name has Admin Privileges

In Security Center, Firewall. I made exceptions for Remote Desktop and Remote Assistance.

When I goto www.canyouseeme.org on the notebook on the t-mobile wireless card, Error: I could not see your service on on port 3389 Reason: Connection refused

Client: HD2

Connectivity: T-Mobile USA 3G

On the HD2 I put:

Computer: IP address of the host computer

User name: Name of Admin Privileged User

Password: Password that corresponds to the user name

When I goto www.canyouseeme.org on the HD2, Error: I could not see your service on on port 3389 Reason: Connection refused

1) On the host computer, Must all users be logged off and the computer at the login screen or can I be logged in on an Admin User?

2) If users must be logged off, I can go to Task Manager and disconnect user that will be used to login with remote desktop?

3) T-Mobile USA Blocking ports 3389?

If I log out of the user, I go to the login screen but the wireles connection is terminated.

My Goal:

I have a notebook in my work vehicle on the T-mobile air card (Wireless ) and while I am in a building working, I would like to connect to the notebook in the vehicle with my HD2 instead of walking back and forth or having to carry my notebook with me.

If you need more information, I will do my best to give exact details.

Thank you,

Monnie
[HD2 General] tms02:
You left out a step on the PC.

On the Remote screen setup on the PC you have to add the Login IDs that will be allowed to login remotely.
[HD2 General] MonnieRock:
Hello Everyone,

I called T-mobile usa, spoke with their PDA/Smartphone Tech Support, They could not give me an answer that A) They are blocking ports 3389 or B) They are not blocking ports 3389.

The tech continued to asked me over and over again " did that application come on the phone or you installed it" I told him repeatedly " Remote desktop come loaded on the factory T-mobile ROM"

He then said, they are working with their network dept and directly with HTC :p

Just a heads up

Thank you,

Monnie
[HD2 General] zdrux:
You have to connect first before you can even think of logging in. We still didn't get to that part.
[HD2 General] zdrux:
This is irrelevant, the website checks to see if the port on your PC is open, this has nothing to do with the phone (yet). If your port 3389 is open and accepting connections, the website should say so, nothing to do with the phone at this time.

This basically means your computer has port 3389 shut off/blocking, figure out what's doing that and then you can connect.
[HD2 General] Nano3:
I do have a username and password

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Reignzone:
I've been researching this topic quite a bit lately, and I'm wondering...

HOW DO YOU ALTER THE .PNG FILE THAT IS DISPLAYED BEHIND THE SOFT KEYS? (T-Mobile USA HD2 - STOCK ROM BUILD)

I'd like to use a GLOSSY or GLASS textured type of background for the keys. If there is a way to create a .CAB file, or perhaps one that already exists that can simply be installed, please feel free to enlighten me.

Otherwise, I'm trying to find some kind of tutorial on building a customized TASK BAR, and/or themed combinations of the top and bottom bars.

Any input, suggestions, or links would be very much appreciated. Thanks folks.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidmonkey:
Ive used programs like TestDisk to get pictures from a "formatted" flash card. I forgot to backup my SMS messages before doing a wipe (backed up everything...). Is there a way I can access the phones built-in memory using software like TeskDisk?

http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chididdy123:
Did you do a nandroid? if not then I am pretty sure the answer is no.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
That's like formatting my HDD then asking if can i recover all those programs.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidmonkey:
Umm... you do know that when you format your hard drive you can still get some of the data back, right? Unless you use a secure erase program, the data is still on the hard drive. The same goes for flash memory. Format or delete images from your flash card and use TestDisk to see what you can get back. If you havent written anything to the drive, chances are you can get it all back. For your sake, I hope you securely wipe your hdds before throwing/giving them away. That goes for everyone.

Back to the topic. I just want to know how to access the built-in memory where this stuff is stored. Some type of developer tool maybe?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandomegabosses:
I'd personally like to know what this really has to do with development. You may be looking for some "developer tool" to recover lost data, but this adds nothing to any development going on or anything.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidmonkey:
The chances of such a tool existing would be known by the smart developers/coders in this forum :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandomegabosses:
Check the rules of the forum. This section isn't meant to ask developers something. It's meant for development.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrmerritt:
I would try booting into recovery and then use adb to manually mount your partitions. I would assume you just need to mount the /data partition.. I know this works on my Magic so just check and make sure that you have the right block device if your running on a Dream!

1. open adb shell

2. make a new directory with mkdir "name of new dir"

3. mount /data with mount -t yaffs /dev/block/mtdblock5 "name of new dir"

4. open new terminal/command prompt and use adb pull command as follows

to bring the data partition over to your computer:

adb pull "name of new dir" "name of file to be placed on computer"

5. now see if you have any files and attempt recovery of your sms database

Good Luck

[EDIT] Oh yeah the other guy's are right you should post this type of question in General next time. Fortunately I'm not a **** so I posted how I would try to rescue my stuff and remember Nandroid would have saved your ass ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidmonkey:
Thanks nrmerritt, ill give it a try. How do I get root in adb shell via windows? When I try to mkdir, it says "Read-only file system"

Also, I do have a Dream (G1), any ideas which block to use?

Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrmerritt:
Are you using Amon_Ra's latest recovery? On my phone when I boot into recovery mode and connect with adb it's already in a root environment.

About the block device I would try the one I posted. You can always just do an "ls" command on the new directory you mounted it on before you copy it to the computer so can you see if/what files are possibly still left.

As a last resort effort you could also try the "dd" command to make an image of the partition while it's still on the phone then copy that to your computer with adb.

One more thing..If you did a wipe and rebooted your phone, your chances are not very good for recovery since the phone would have written a whole bunch of files to the data partition on first boot into Android. Side note, maybe one day Google will incorporate messages into sync and improve our lives a little.
[Omnia II General] jh787:
Have you tried typing in *#1472365# into your Omnia2?

It brings up some extra gps settings, some of which are similar to settings that can be reached in registry but some are unique.

The main one that was of interest to me was the start up mode of GPS.

Mine was set to cold start which meant that every time i started my tomtom it did so by deleting all previous data.

This meant i was on a cold start each and every time i used it which was why it took forever to lock sometimes.

I have now changed this setting to "hotstart" and my locks are instant.

There are various other settings that can be played with and tried out but this setting alone got rid of the only flaw i could find in the Omnia2.
[Omnia II General] abuttino:
What application does this dialcode call?
[Omnia II General] krazy_about_technology:
Dont know about Omnia 2 but in OmniaPRO B7610, it calls \Windows\NoGarderGPS.exe.
[Omnia II General] abuttino:
There is nothing in the Windows directory called anything with GPS except a png.

I'd really like to see what's in this menu. I am not having problems with Tomtom but it'd be nice to check this out.
[Omnia II General] krazy_about_technology:
Its a hidden and System attribute marked file in offiicial 6.1 ROM of Omnia B7610. Use something like resco explorer with option checked to show all files to view it.
[Omnia II General] abuttino:
Not found on my sch-i920

Can you extract the file and post it here?
[Omnia II General] jh787:
If anyone can tell me how to extract this file i will be happy to do so.

Also see post 90 onwards on the following thread for best results with tomtom on Omnia.

http://www.modaco.com/content-page/2...omnia/page/80/
[Omnia II General] abuttino:
I played around in QPST with this phone and it doesn't have the gpsone chip in it from qualcomm OR verizon disabled it from being viewed in QPST. Anyway, I am not quite sure how to extract files from rom just overwriting ...
[Omnia II General] fireburn:
Just viewed mine and is already in hotstart ...

but because mine is brand new i didnt ad time yet to test the gps ...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] movikun:
First off, let me commend you for coming clean, and at least trying to explain yourself, and not just getting angry and slurring those criticising. Thank you.

However, you seriously misunderstand the GPL. It is NOT up to you to decide if the license applies to you or not, dependent on how many changes you made. Normally i would just link to the license and scream "rtfl!", but I do NOT want this to turn into a flamewar. However, before i begin let me be clear, i am ONLY talking about the linux kernel. The rest of android is licensed under MIT, and sense bit are propietary. And it's only the Linux kernel i'm concerned about. So, let's go:

- You get the source from google/htc/motorolla/someone else. It is licensed under to you under the GPL. Which means you must abide by it, or not use the code.

- You modify it for you personal needs. This is permitted, and encouraged. You do not need to distribute anything, since it's only for you personal use.

- You've decided you want to pass along the binaries to your friend, with your changes. AT THIS VERY MOMENT you MUST give him the source code, and this is NOT NEGOTIABLE. He has every right to get the source code, just as you did when you got the source code from google, and thats because you made changes to GPL code. GPL is viral and it was deisgined SPECIFICALLY to do JUST THAT.

Also, another error that you make, is that you think that you can make a non-gpl release. Such a thing doesn't exist. You cannot change the license of GPL code. Once code is GPL, it STAYS GPL.

And yes, HTC was VERY late on numerous occasions with it's sources. We know that. However, that's not an excuse. Do you kill people just because there are murders on the world? Of course not, because they're wrong. GPL-Violations is already informed and working on getting the 32A 1.2 sources, and if it comes to that, they'll work on that too. However, that does NOT give you the right to whithold your sources.

To summarize : either you don't release the sources to the kernel, admit you're breaking the GPL, stop distributing your 2.6.29 and 2.6.32, or you put up a tarball/github somewhere, and the community will gladly accept it. The choice is yours.

P.S. This has made me, and a couple of other close devs feel extremely distastefull. The Magic scene is loosing developers to the N1 extremely fast, and it's just sad that we have to fight each other to play by the rules.

#teamdouche
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
sanpei, we all know what its like to work for this community. You release something and people blame you for any little bug and also never give you credit.

Despite this, I really hope you decide to post your sources, it would great to have and there are lots of people who could do great work with it. The point of this community to work together and not withhold your work because you want to be the only one with it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wesgarner:
Honestly, I just want to ask where did you get the information needed to create the AMSS 6355 patch or where did you obtain that code?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kud0s:
Just as an outsider who lurks but really does not post anything usefull. I find the majority of the posters are very thankful on this forum. The problem is, for every 15 thank you's the one flame will be heard more than all the gratitude.

I think you should just ignore the detractors and focus on the thankful people. Pissy people will always make a bigger fuss than a happy one, yet the happy ones are the ones you need to keep happy. The unhappy ones can go to hell.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sanpei:
I think you are right. thank you for this lesson :)

for discussions:

I think I have a workaround on this: if I claim a organization, and our members can get my binary, and this organization never distribute anything to the world out of it. then it will not violate the GPL.

you already have all things as I have.

in fact, I think you could make the patch in 1 or 2 days if you would think about how things work seriously.
