I accidentally posted this in the wrong forum last night. Here we go again.

I've been having issues with losing my touch screen lately no matter what ROM I flash. So I decided to unroot the phone and then reroot it. Upon unrooting I can get to 1.5 but when I try to upgrade to 1.6 I get this error.

E:failure at line 2: assert file_contains("System:build.prop:, "ro.build.fingerprint=tmobile/kila/dream:1.5/crc1/150275:user/ota-rel-keys.release-keys") == "true" || file_contain("System:build.prop" , "ro.build.fingerprint=tmobile/kila/dream/trout:1installation aborted.

Can anyone tell me what this means? I'm wondering if whatever is throwing this error is causing my other problems. Once I start losing my touch screen within a short period of time everything else stops working. I can't even take or make calls without a force close of android.process.

Hi, I have a problem with my Toshiba TG01 cellular signal, i think it could be antenna fault.

I have tried switching phone mode to GSM, it help't a little bit.

I have tried placing signal booster sticker, it help't a little bit.

But the cellular signal problem still remains. :(

Mostly cellular signal is bad indoors when i keep phone in my hands, and sometimes when phone is simply on the table and screen facing up. Also cellular signal is bad when i'm far away of cellular tower.

May be someone could help me to resolve this problem? :confused:
[TG01 General] bojan6:
You tried change ROM or different sim card?

Witch ROM you have in your TG01?
[TG01 General] orsonz:
Yes i've tried changing rom, and another sim card as well, but no progress! :(

Currently i'm using: Debranded TG01 Orange UK ROM + Manila Sense 2.5

Before i was using original TG01 rom.
[TG01 General] bojan6:
This ROM(TG01 Orange UK ROM + Manila Sense 2.5) have a problem is not working properly.

Try the last one from toshiba site finish 000176 or something like this. If you want can wait for the new rom who is on development at that moment. While call orange is still on guaranty.
[TG01 General] orsonz:
My phone doesn't have warranty, i bought it from one guy...

I'm now using: Windows Mobile 6.5.5 - CE OS 5.2.23563(Build 5.2.23563) Radio Version 5005.1600.05 works good and smooth! I don't think that this problem is connected with ROM version.. i think that i have damaged antenna, maybe there is way to change antenna? And maybe someone could tell me where can i get one of those?
[TG01 General] bojan6:
Sorry man I don't know what can you do with it. If is not working when you change ROM.

Normally the guaranty is still valid never mind if you bought your phone from other person.

Good luck man. Sorry about that.:o

Hi

Battery problem, keeps draining quickly, just by leaving it anywhere. I charge the htc hd2, after not much use... the battery looses charge? I have s2u2 installed any ideas why this would be?

In other words, battery is on 100%. I open it using s2u2 and close it, just random play aroung with the phone. Next minute you know the battery is going lower and lower in matter of minutes. Thats with no phone calls, few text, no music, no games played i think your getting the gist?

This is wierd? anyone else experience this?

Please can some help and advice in the right direction.

thanks.
[HD2 General] pa49:
Try a search as there is a ton of stuff about how to treat the battery in order to get the most out of it.
[HD2 General] Fame123:
hi pa49

I have looked at soo many post on xda, but i cannot get to to the bottom of it?

1. Is there any post you might note of, that could possibly put me in to the right direction?

2. also any place you can get extended battery (not the big fat one lol)
[HD2 General] ephestione:
you may want to install battclock and check what0s your cpu usage, also disable s2u2, check differences, and whatnot... the only way you can find if it's a software problem or not is by checking with a clean rom.

Usual old boring advice, backup and hard reset, test with nothing installed, if there is the same problem of very high drainage, it's basically a good chance you need to send it back for warranty
[HD2 General] freedoom1013:
I have exactly the same problem. Suddenly yesterday my phone's battery drained and I found my phone switched off, out of nowhere. I charged it for 3-4 hours, and then played some games, the battery was left at 85% and when I woke up today, after 6 hours, it was off again.

So you are suggesting to perform a hard reset and observe the way the battery drains?
[HD2 General] pa49:
Ok, First get the battery working at max capacity by charging it non stop for at least 2 weeks. Whenever you can and wherever you can for as long as you can.

Once you have done that there is a battery monitoring capability built into the charging circuits. You could then allow your battery to drain to cuttoff and then recharge to full again which will accurise the power remaing readout. I never bother with this step as I just use the phone and then recharge as soon as I can again, but, if it's important to you then go ahead, but, don't continually allow the cutoff point to be reached as this will damage the battery.

Now you have maximised the capacity of the battery see how it performs and assess whether you need to take further action.

Installing apps to mem card will eat battery.

Some say leaving apps open will drain the battery. I'm not too sure, but, it's good practice to close them any way.

Finding a clean and pared down cooked ROM will save a lot of power, but, you will have to do your own experimenting there.

After that you could invest in a spare/extended battery, however, I would suggest an external rechargable power pack (Have a look at the juice bar solar pack as it will recharge itself without needing a power socket or USB port (although you can use them!), purely by sunlight. Another advantage is that if you change your phone you still can use the pack with your next device and they will also charge many other devices!

Good luck!
[HD2 General] poisas:
I have my new hd2 leo, and battery seemed to be the main issue for me cause it couldn hold 1working day... but as everybody told its nessesery to charge 1 week to exercise battery for its full potential.. but i did some improvements, did the registry thing with dissablepowersavings dont remmember where found that, and instaled wmpowersaving, for control of 3g 2g data, using 2.12 radio rom, witch is more stable than 2.08 cause i use hd2 for a lot of browsing, and 2.08 was freezing my device.. 2.12 is stable and seems using much less power, i can feel less heat in the back of the case.. tried android... but that was not intterested me... i dont need those 1000ds of apps i need to browse the internet :D using iris browser.. and now battery easily can hold 2 days with some wifi 3g browsing.. and few phone calls some usage of camera.. witch is poor in dark conditions... so i think battery life is 2days ... and control the 2g 3g networks, turn off location service, turn off data connection.. and the battery for today evening is still 72% after 10 hrs of few phonecalls and a bit browsing with wifi.. some gps navigation i dont even think to buy expanded batery cause i dont like the BACK BIG CASE ... Also i wonder how much power is nessesary to run Micro SD built in card reader... because its a pitty to have 180mb internal memory for progams... if it had 2gb then u install everything in the memory and dont use the sd card reader witch i suppose will save couple of hours of battery.
[HD2 General] Moschino02:
this issue has been well documented..imo the stock rom battery life is awful lasts up to 24hour on casual use for me..there are cooked roms with better battery life or you could invest in a bigger capacity battery from htc or third party ones on ebay
[HD2 General] reijkelhof:
There is a known issue with the HD2 and microsd cards, when the microsd's filesystem becomes corrupted, causing battery drain.
[HD2 General] innovator8:
I just popped out my sd card to see if it is going to see how my battery does.

I will post my conclusion tomorrow.

[HD2 General] trangoul:
Jeff wake up
[HD2 General] jammerlappen:
Jeff? Jeeeeeefffff!!!!
[HD2 General] innovator8:
Oops,

Sorry, I did not really notice any difference with the card out. I am currently trying it again just to be sure.

Jeff
[HD2 General] innovator8:
Ok, so I did a quick test, I turned off the radio just to take that out of the equation.

I ran for two hours, first hour with SD card out and then an hour with it in.

From the log, you see that I am about 6 to 7 mA up until 0945 and then it started to cycle, I dont know why, the phone was in standby the whole time.

I put the SD card back in at 1016 and opened explorer just to access it once.

the cycling continued for like 30 min then settled back down to 6 to 9mA.

So, it looks like the currnt is a few mA higher with the SD card in, but I have no idea why the phone was sucking over 150mA in those four to five reading bursts when I was not using the phone.

What do you think?

[Desire General] singsing:
I have had my new Desire for 2 days now. It is the telstra version (australia) (which also has the non working GPS).

I am using my postpaid telstra sim in it which was previously in my blackberry 9700 which is NEXTG capable.

I have found the reception to be noticeably poorer. My BB would show full 5 bars and would never drop a call or have any issues with calls breaking up and being unable to hear the other person. The actual 'bars' was about 2 out of 4 for the android. it is 5/5 for the BB. The android signal strength meter shows anywhere from -90 dBm to -105 dBm in the same spot. My BB9700 shows -70 dBm !!! in the same spot with the same sim!!! -70 is as good as it gets.

for example today, i had trouble maintaining a conversation for more than a few minutes without it breaking up and having to repeat myself a few times. This happened at least on 2 separate phone calls with the desire. Granted, it never cut the connection completely.

i got sick of it because i was on call and had to be able to be contactable 100% so I swapped the sim in to the BB and continued on my conversation – 30 minute conversation without a hint of an issue.

I have always found the BB to be the ultimate in the phone department – but i was seduced by the pretty screen and graphics of the Desire and also the integration with google apps – which i use a lot of.

I also note that people have been complainng about the nexus one over in the US of A regarding the reception quality too. I bet it is the same thing.

The call quality is quite good though. The speakerphone is crap though.

The other bits of the phone are great – screen, speed, apps, and everything else everyone said was good... though i havent heard anyone complaining about the reception

Just want to know if anyone else is having similar experiences and if it is just me. Can ppl with phones that can show signal strength objectively (i.e. dBm measurements) look into a comparison? and also state what network you are on?

Im now thinking it is too unreliable to use as my primary phone... which is too bad. I hope it is a matter of a software update or somesuch to fix this. The price one pays to be an early adopter.
[Desire General] Rusty!:
I suspect this applies to your Desire?
[Desire General] singsing:
bloody hell... same thing happened when i tried what that dude did... pick up the damn thing and the signal goes to hell

devastating.... this is sad.
[Desire General] Rusty!:
It's because the antenna is at the bottom, and you're most likely covering it with your hand when you pick it up.
[Desire General] themikeyboosh:
It's quite worrying this sort of hardware design flaw wasn't spotted by HTC. I too can confirm it happens on mind has well....at least I know how to hold it now!
[Desire General] Mokurex:
This thing really is a nexus one+sense huh? It even copies the 3g coverage issue.
[Desire General] Rogem:
I just tried that and found the same problem...that is really a big problem.
[Desire General] andycted:
hi, even if that shown in the video partially occurs to me as well I can't say I'm noticing any difference with my old handset (touch hd)
[Desire General] Jpcurrie:
I have currently got an O2 simcard in my desire with GPRS reception only.

I do not have that issue, will try with my orange 3g sim as well.
[Desire General] themikeyboosh:
Has anyone a work around or advice for this?
[Desire General] al89nut:
Held tight in the palm I lose bars, held to the head I don't - enough of a different grip when actually using for a call. Cupped in the fingers rather than the palm, no loss.
[Desire General] winx199:
I have the sim free desire bought from UK, and I'm using the optus prepaid sim. There is no problem for me at all.

Maybe update the radio would fix the issue, but it seems no radio update atm.

HTC Desire Bad reception Solved!!

Hi All,

I recently bought a second hand HTC Desire and had the same thing: Bad Reception.

I tried EVERYTHING, Rom's, Radio's, Task-killers, etc. but I found the reason was something completely different!

Now my Desire has FULL 4 bars reception: What did I do?:)

Remove the battery cover, take out the battery, unscrew the two small Torx screws at the bottom left and right.

These two screws hold the antenna cover which is actually the antenna itself!!

You will find two spring-loaded contacts at the left of the phone on the circuitboard: these are the antenna contacts. Pry them up al little bit and clean them with some alcohol.

Now clean the two grey contact surfaces in the antenne. Do not use any scratching tool, but use a small pencil eraser!! The surface will stay a bit grey, but this is normal.

Now you are done!

Put the antenna back in place (bottom first) and put the 2 screws back.

Boot your phone and you will have good (4 bar) reception like before.

If you want to check?

Before you do anything "dial" *#*#4636#*#* , choose "Phone Information" and look at the signal strength.

The lower the number of dBm the better the signal.

Same as: the higher the ASU the better the signal.

Do the same after cleaning and you will see the result.

Succes to you all!

Extra: The antenna is at the bottom of the phone, poor design choice, we all know.

However:before -when holding the phone- the Signal Strength went from -103 dBm tot -119 dBm and then to 0, meaning losing the connection completely.

Now, the reception at the same location when holding the phone goes from -79 dBm to -85 dBm still holding 4 bars and having good reception.

My guess is that with all the Desire's these contacts corrode over time, so cleaning does help to get the phone back in it's original condition..
[Desire General] rete:
I did the same thing when I was struggling with poor GPS - opened the phone and bent all contacts a little bit. Confirm that my (or my wife's more accurately) Desire now has outstanding GPS, 2G and 3G signal. This screenshot shows the two contacts mentioned by Satbeginner.

It is worth mentioning though - if your phone is still under warranty and has never been opened this procedure will void your warranty - you have to break a seal on one of the two screws to remove the antenna.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] japeron:
Just found out I have been sold a Czech phone by handtec.co.uk even though I am in the UK and so are they. Seems I can't get Manila 2.5 upgrade unless someone knows where I can get it from - or if I can HTC think it may change my language to Czech. Main question is do I have a claim against Handtec as I wouldn't have bought a Czech phone for the price I paid. Unfortunately I bought the phone in June 09. If I have no claim does anyone have any advice on upgrading a Czech phone please.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Assuming its an authentic HTC you can flash hard SPL and change your ROM to whatever you want.

Not sure about the claim stuff, sorry.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] PabloCZE:
The hardware is the same no matter what country you buy it from (assuming it's not a copy) You can download an official Eastern European manila 2.5 rom here: sunnysoft.cz/htc/ (it will be in English by default)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] paul.crisp:
I too was sold the Eastern European (EE) version by Handtec. They claimed that they could legally source any unit from one EU country to another without breaking any consumer protection law. Not sure they are right but don't have time to contest it.

However, the EE versions also support English and you can upgrade from the relevant country site and still read it. Happily the upgrade itself has an English title even on the Czech site. I think you are prompted for the language you want when you run the upgrade - I've certainly done it without any trouble.

The only two issues are:

a) upgrades for minor markets (e.g. EE) lag behind the 'major' ones by some weeks (and I suspect some won't appear at all);

b) some ROM applications appear with EE defaults (eg the clock comes with Warsaw and Budapest times not London, Paris, New York).

b) is trivial but a) can be a pain. I certainly won't be buying from Handtec again as I think this is a con.

Hi, someone said that if you hold the home button you will see the background processes. Is this correct or you just see the applications that were recently used? I mean, coz i installed Advanced Task Killer, but there is only 1 application - fring. But when i hold the home button i see 6 applications.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
It shows you the most recently used applications.
[G1 General] SocialEvil:
Thanks.

Now i have another question. When i start fring and leave the phone, i dont really know whats happening, but maybe it goes to sleep mode or something and disconects me from fring. When i touch the phone and start doing things, i need to relogin into fring. Is there a way to avoid that? I want to recieve messages in fring/skype even if im not touching the phone for over 30 minutes.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Poorly implemented program.

You might consider contacting the developers, but chances are that you don't speak their language -- israel. Note that fring's website is a godaddy site registered in israel -- not exactly the kind of thing I would trust with personal information -- it is probably a spy or spam organization.

*** just because a lot of people use it does NOT in ANY WAY suggest that it is safe. Most people are idiots!
[G1 General] SocialEvil:
i am using it just because i cant find skype in the market. A friend of mine who have htc g1 said that i should use fring.. If you have any other suggestions.. please :)
[G1 General] MeHaveNoClue:
Are you using WiFi? Maybe check your standby-policy, you can access it by pressing menu at the wifi configuration intent. Android's default is: "disable while in standby". So it disconnects your wifi, fring loses its connection. If that does not cause/solve the problem it's probably a bug inside fring, just hope for a new release then or try to find alternatives (maybe sipdroid with pbxes, i think there was a possibility somehow).

PS: I never looked at the settings in english, they might have different names =).
