[HD2 General] fillip:
Can somebody with the know how make a little program which litterally only performs one task: kills the process services.exe.

The reason for this is it is the cause of many soft resets in a day. Sometimes not even fixing the slowdown anyway and causing the famous black screen of death.

But as soon as i go to sktools and use the processes tool and kill the process phone goes back to being how it should! However because the phone goes into major slowdown it takes ages for the sktools processes program to load and then hard to select services from the list because of the lagging etc so it would be nice just to have a link that i could put on my quick links and when phone goes to melt down just press this magic button which saves the phone being hurled at a wall!:D

It needs to be called Meltdown Override or something!

This is a serious request as it would make HD2 use a much more pleasant experience!

Many thanks
[HD2 General] abmantis:
This is pretty easy to do AFAIK...

If nobody else does it, I can do it when I have some more free time ...
[HD2 General] fillip:
I would appreciate this so much! :D

I think I may even use AEB to assign it to a long press of the back key or something
[HD2 General] abmantis:
But, does services.exe auto-starts again? Because you could have some problems if you kill it and don't start it again...
[HD2 General] fillip:
Yer it does straight away but not running at 90% + CPU. ;)
[HD2 General] X1-owner:
I find it unlikely that services.exe is really the culprit here, but rather a service installed on your phone that is misbehaving. If you find out which service is causing the problem, and then uninstall or disable it....

curing the disease, rather than treating the symptoms.
[HD2 General] abmantis:
This guy is right...
[HD2 General] fillip:
Ive only just installed a new ROM voda UK 1.72 so I have next to no programs installed at the moment so I don't see what could cause it.

The main time this happens is when left charging over night and when you go to use it in the morning it's completely screwed. Soft reset doesnt fix it it just goes to black screen of death so then u have to take the battery cover off and reset again. The only thing i have found to get it to a useable state again is to kill process services.exe, and then its fine again. Once by doing that it stopped weather update and text messaging from working but atleast when i then did a soft reset things where still fine and those two things worked again and no laggy phone.

I kno it seems stupid to just kill a process and not find the problem but i cant see what the problem could be considering how recently i hard reset the phone (which i did 3 times in total to see if it got rid of the problem).
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Just forget that ROM and go back to a working one? Seems easy to me... don't always need to have the latest or highest version number, just something that works... If 1.72 doesn't work for you, don't use it! ;)
[HD2 General] fillip:
I would if it wasn't for the fact that after doing the annoying procedure in the morning of killing process "services.exe" then soft reseting, it runs the quickest i have ever been able to use the device on any ROM before it
[HD2 General] elburna:
You know that services.exe is one of the main parts of your phone-funcionality (calls, sms, etc.)?

As you said you experience it in most cases in the morning... Have u got GAlarm installed?

If yes --> Did you check the RegKey MidnightWakeup=True and change it to false?

My Girlfriends TD2 had the same issue. CPU usage by services.exe was often around 70-90% until i applied this change...
[HD2 General] smuppy:
Services.exe is just like svchost on a windows-machine, it just hosts a bunch of services. So most likely its a service that has gone crazy.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kshoughton:
I'm hoping someone can help me with this.

I woke up yesturday morning looked at my phone and noticed that the little icon you see when you plug in a headset was appearing.

I thought that it was quite strange condering i never use a headset so i did the obvious thing and plugged a headset in and removed it, yet it stayed there.

I've tried everything, cleaning it, moving the jack around, i even installed a new rom and it's still stuck in headset mode.

I'm guessing it must be hardware related due to the fact that i did reinstall the rom.

If i slowly insert the jack of my headset into the 3.5mm port, there is a point where the icon changes to display just headphones.

Anyone have any ideas because it's really bugging me having to use a headset to make calls all the time?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drspikes:
Unfortunately, it may mean that your Hero is soon for repair.

I had this problem - instead of using the headset, you can also use it set to speakerphone as a work around for now.

For me, a week later the mini USB port only allowed charging, not USB disk or sync and was told it was a circuit problem. Sent it away and all problems have disappeared with change of the mini-usb "flex" inside the handset.

The first tech support guy said this indicated that there was an electrical contact inside the 3.5mm jack which may have got some dirt or water that was completing the circuit and making the phone think there was a jack in there the whole time. Try visually inspecting it and ?remove any dirt with high pressure air? Just an idea.

Good luck.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmicha:
Did you try one of the toggleheadset apps yet? (http://code.google.com/p/toggleheadset2/ or http://code.google.com/p/toggleheadset/)

It's a far shot, as you already changed your ROM, but you might want to try it nevertheless.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kshoughton:
I have contacted HTC but haven't heard anything yet.

The second app you posted allows me to turn it off, however for it to work properly during phone calls i have to make sure i answer the call and then turn headset mode off.

Thanks for showing me the that app as it will help me use the phone whilst wating for HTC to reply haha.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okdone:
Thank you very much elmicha. Toggleheadset is a life saver app.

My HTC Hero always stucked up in headset mode if I ever plug in the headset unless it is restarted. For a long time I had been scared to plug in the headset to ever listen music coz I'll have to restart it to bring it out of headset mode.

I tried the toggleheadset2 which is available in market but it didn't work for HTC hero. Fortunately, the toggleheadset widget worked.

Thank you very much guys. XDA rocks!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] integramodder:
Is there anything for a more recent build? Having a similar issue on DLEV 2.3.4 on an Infuse...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiran.bhat:
Reinstall with RUU should fix this

Hi,

I had similar issue, headset not working and device not recognised by usb. The installation of ice cream sandwich had screwed my phones drivers such that even older roms that used to work never worked again. Please install an original HTC RUU after a complete wipe, solves all problems.

Hello all.

I just found this website that allow me to synch all my facebook events to my Google calendar account: http://www.menuo.ch/. That's a really cool stuff and that work pretty well!

Click for full size - Uploaded with plasq's Skitch

and all my events are written in Google calendar.

I try now to synch my HTC desire but it doesn't display this calendar! All other are well synchronised but this one is missing.. Why this one?

Click for full size - Uploaded with plasq's Skitch

As you can see the first one is the local HTC ( I guess)

2nd in orange: "perso" on HTC and google cal: OK

3rd in blue grey: "XXXX" on HTC and google cal: OK

4th in blue: "Jours feriés bleges" on HTC and google cal: OK

5th in green: HTC Sync stuff.

But where the hell is my facebook calendar that appear in Google and not in HTC???

(maybe this picture is more understandable:

Is that possible to import it manually with the adress?

Please help me...

Thank a lot.

[Desire General] Aitese:
Why are you using a third party to sync Facebook calender events to Google Calendar? You can do it direct.

http://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=14490
[Desire General] Waza_Be:
Because my method is dynamic and will work for all the events I attend/maybe attending. I have nothing to do, it sync automatically!

I just add the application and then no more stuff to do.

With your method, I have to open facebook/export the event/save on hard disk/import ical file/delete ical file on computer.

And as I have a lot of events to manage ( student parties, sport club activities, friends birthdays, etc..) using this calendar is really useful!
[Desire General] petzlux:
This method used to work: http: //gr33ndata.blogspot.com/2007/10/facebook-events-to-google-calendar.html

Unfortunately, FB seem to have culled the events ical link, altough my ical feed is still working! Dont know how you would find out the address of your ical feed?
[Desire General] Aitese:
Erm...yeah, not sure what I linked to there...that's certainly not the method I used. I was given a feed that I imported directly into Google calendar and it automatically imports anything I RSVP to. Not sure how to find it now, I can't actually see it...but I'm sure I didn't employ a third party app for it.

[EDIT]

Ah, the guy above has confirmed...they've hidden the link to the feed (although, as with the above poster, my feed still works, so it's a feature that's still there)
[Desire General] Waza_Be:
Yes that's something I have seen on Facebook forum.. The feed exist but the link is hidden, so it's too late for me! I cannot access it until they unhide the link.

I don't understand what happened because this feature is quite cool!
[Desire General] payneardo:
Just tested

Hi I have justed tested using the method from http://www.menuo.ch/. and I can see the new calendar on my desire :)

After doing the changes did you "Synch All" on your desire ? as that seemed to do the trick for me :)
[Desire General] Waza_Be:
That's OK.

I had to go to the HTC calendar - menu - more - calendars

then again menu - add calendars and it was there

Waw... Thank a lot for all your answers!
[Desire General] Waza_Be:
That's OK.

[HD2 General] bobbified:
hey guys.. i took my HD2 to vietnam a couple of weeks ago and I used a local sim card.

I noticed that the signal over there (on Viettel) was a constant "H" as a default. I couldnt get the actual data connection to work (probably because I didnt have the correct internet settings).

Over here in Australia, the signal is always 3G (even though I know I'm in a HSDPA area). When I have an active data connection it changes to "H" temporarily until there is no data flowing through, then it changes back to "3G".

Can anyone shed any light on why this might be? Could it be something to do with the sim card itself? Back here in Australia, I've played with every setting I can find in the phone to try have the constant "H" and have not had any luck.
[HD2 General] iarapilot:
I get the same thing....an H....in Hong Kong, Manila, and other places. It seems that you are operating off of an HSDPA network, which is good!
[HD2 General] foxcheng:
Btw, Elly Tran Ha in vietnam really beautiful ^_^
[HD2 General] jnlinh:
HD2 using in Viet Nam ok, included VietTel, VinaFone, MobileFone and VietNamMobile networks on band 2G, 3G, 3G+, H

Elly Tran Ha is Hot Girl in VietNam, very...very XXX :D
[HD2 General] bobbified:
But in Australia, we're operating off a HSDPA network too but the signal always stays on "3G". The phone only seems to connect to "H" when there is data flowing through.

The H in Vietnam (also HK, i might add) didnt drain any additional battery either....

[General Questions and Answers] geniac:
Hello there,

1. It is necessary that your device is rooted.

2. In order to connect via Fritz!VPN you need to use VPNC Widget. If "check prerequisites" states that it should work you are good to go.

3. The config file for FritzBox needs to look like this in order to work with Android devices. You need to change the UPPERCASE values *and IF changed from the 192.168.178.X default also change IP settings* afterwards enter these values in VPNC Widget and it should work.

Once of the biggest letdowns for me of the HTC Desire was the media capabilities (or lack of) and in particular the issue with sync when streaming online video.

I thought people might like to know that HTC have responded to my query about this as follows:

They're pretty good about fronting up when they find an issue, usually they release hotfixes quite quickly once they start to address an issue.

Interesting the first reply I got from HTC regarding sound and video sync issues was pretty much a point blank refusal of any issue existing.

But just got a reply to a second message I sent them and they are asking for my serial number and software version so looks like they are looking into this more.

Android boot error "micropklt_lcd_ctrl: This function should no longer be used"

I've been battling this error again and again whenever I tried another Android release, and since there are no real answers around, but some others have the same problem, which according to searches mostly goes unanswered in bigger threads, I decided to go ahead and dedicate one thread to it.

Problem: After installing Android and running it, its boot ends up in an eternal loop displaying

micropklt_lcd_ctrl: This function should no longer be used

.

Setting: German Rhodium. Initially an Energy ROM. Since I thought it might be something from the ROM, the latest one is Energy.RHODIUM.21889.Android(ULTRA_LITE_ROM)_28.Jan.

8 GB SD from Kingston. Since this was named as a possible problem, tried with 1 GB SD (Kingston) as well.

Reformatted SD and restarted from scratch.

Tried Android versions:

Project Android 030810.cab

Project Android 033110.cab

[MJG]Rhod.Eclair.Rebuild033110.3.rar

plus various older ones (with different base name, xAndroid or something like that?) already deleted.

Tried to disable 3D Hardware during boot.

Another suggested workaround to use specific files from older releases; these I could no longer find on the net.

To sum attempts up:

Tried different (?) Android releases (xAndroid, Project Android) - fail

Tried small SD card (1 GB) - fail

Tried SanDisk instead of Kingston SD card - pending

Tried to reformat SD card (with SD card formatter) - fail

Tried to disable 3D Hardware - fail

Tried WinMo ROM labeled as created for Android (Energy.RHODIUM.21889.Android(ULTRA_LITE_ROM)_28.Jan) - fail

Tried to insert SIM card (was missing) - fail

Tried to update HardSSL (Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3.exe) - fail
