Until it breaks

Hi, I would have agreed, except if you get a glitch you've lost the contents of the 4gb "card"

Had mine for almost 2 years, absolutely love the quality and resolution of the display. TomTom western Europe uses up way too much memory though (almost 3gb).

(I ended up clipping it in front of an aircon outlet in the car, with the back off, to try and make it last a full journey without overheating; but that's another subject;))

I dropped mine towards the end of a family break, during which I'd taken all my photos with the phone, so unless I find a way to physically hack in to hardwire onto the memory chip I've lost some lovely memories.

With a removable card that wouldn't have been an issue, insurance replaces the phone and you just swap the card.

I think they did it to avoid the dry connection problems that are possible with sliding contacts.

You'll learn to love the phone, the screen makes me forget all the little personality disorders that WM6 brings along.

Cheers

Luke

Oh thats cool cause I only use a 4gb microsd and it fits everything I need. Mainly just backups and cabs for applications since I'm a heavy ROM installer :P

I have someone who has had this phone for a little while and returned it because the backcover was comming off too easily and did not like that at all. Any comments on the backcover?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] siddharthsai:
No comments on the back cover.. even if you carry it in a pouch , its bound to go... cant do anything about it..:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] krisztian b:
No problems with it. I don't swap sim cards frequently, so no need to remove the back cover. Stays just like normal. Battery lasts for 2 days (3G off), no built in memory issue for me, the only thing a I don't like is the power button. Otherwise this the perfect phone for me. I upgraded the stock 1.93 rom to stock 2.03 and the old 1.00.25 radio to 1.17 and just excellent. I got gps fix within a few seconds. Have to mention, that I use this handheld as a regular phone, for other pda purposes there is my old trinity.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] siddharthsai:
cool :) ...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] chrisportela:
Sounds good, Thanks a lot guys! you cleared up, I think, all of my questions
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] siddharthsai:
:) , Happy flashing
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] chrisportela:
Bought one, got it, and now I'm going to start my work on it, SO EXCITED. this phone really is just awesome and the backcover thing doesn't seem that bad... Thank you all again

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] James.Q.Campbell:
I'm playing around with a few things on my phone, and I'm wondering, is there a way to completely disable the microphone?

I mean, is there a registry setting, or a program, that completely disables it?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] drewcam888:
why would you do this may I ask. You could always break the microphone if that is what you want.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeveredBrain:
I have a number of questions related to this phenomenon.

The big 4 questions:

Why does the '50% no signal' happen at all?

What is happening during the initialization of the phone that causes this?

Why does the airplane trick work?

What are the affected firmwares (not cooked)?

I've teased out #3 to the point where I can assume that airplane mode stops the radio entirely and then turning airplane mode off restarts the radio. But why? I've seen very little research related to this. The best I can find is what to do about it (little besides the airplane trick) rather than what is causing it.

There is anecdotal evidence via the cyanogen forums that it only occurs when starting up while connected to a computer. (not tested) Or that it occurs when usb debugging is enabled. It seems to be limited to 2.1, it happens to other 2.1 version (even the ones who have the source) so it appears that it maybe kernel related. I'm not convinced though that's it not something that can be scripted around for the time being at least.

WHY DOES THE AIRPLANE TRICK WORK?! This is my biggest question. What is happening during the process of going into airplane mode and then coming out of it that changes what is already in place?

[Dash 3G, Snap General] donshula:
Hey guys, haven't been here for a while but recently picked up a Dash as I need a phone with a keyboard and it fits the bill nicely.

Anyway, flashed the phone with the 3volution ROM and am loving it but for one slight problem - when the key-lock comes on, the screen never powers off. Have checked the power settings and there doesn't seem to be anything amiss.

Any suggestions?
[Dash 3G, Snap General] cswroe:
Change "Backlight time out on battery:" to 60 seconds and "Display time out on battery" to 1 minute. See if that works. For some reason mine will do the same thing on occasion, only setting that seems to work.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] donshula:
Cool, thanks cswroe, seems to work nicely
[Hero CDMA General] Quis89:
So my Hero appears to be done for...

I was doing a Nanoid restore last night and after rebooting my phone wouldnt come back up. It got past the inital "HTC: Quietly Brilliant" screen and then it goes to the black HTC screen. You can see the HTC logo flashing for a few minutes and then it stops flashing and the phone does nothing from there.

I've tried wiping the handheld, wiping the dalvik-cache and wiping everything else possible from recovery and nothing.

Anybody have any suggestions before I get my phone replaced?? :(

I was thinking of possibly putting an older Nand backup file on my memory card and attempting flashing that....or attempting flashing a ROM again. I dont know...anything that may fix this would be appreciated.
[Hero CDMA General] DexSade:
Is it hanging on the HTC screen? Or does it go black completely and shuts down?

[Hero CDMA General] darchstar:
nandroid in no way affects recovery, try booting into recovery and retry nandroid, or you can try flashing a new rom after a data wipe
[Hero CDMA General] DexSade:
Were you using A2SD? I had this problem earlier, I had to swap my SD cards out and reload the rom from a different card then put the old one back in.
[Hero CDMA General] dirkyd3rk:
sheesh that sucks, i would make up something and take it to sprint and let them give you a refurb
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
The phones not bricked if it still turns on.. Its probably a very simple fix. Like some have said. Try to format your sdcard, wipe everything data, dalvik, ext. Then flash a different nandroid backup or rom then the one you were using and then reboot.
[Hero CDMA General] murdocthc:
agreed. i've RUU'd for less frustrating situations that that!
[Hero CDMA General] Warrior 3000:
did you wipe both options ?
[Hero CDMA General] macvalentine:
this has happened to me before

what i did was wiped everything and flashed the rom i wanted and it was fine after that
[Hero CDMA General] wtphoto:
if you can see the HTC screen then you are not bricked if all else fails then the RUU should get it booting again.
[HD2 General] steve austin:
I am looking for a couple of fixes. I have used search, but i can't get the exact answers. Any assistance will be appreciated.

1. SMS, MMS don't get sent:

If I send a message and loose a signal the message stays. The phone does not automatically send once a signal is found. How do I get it to try and resend on its own? I see the resend option, but I am hoping that is a last case option. Not the ONLY option.

2. All MMS messages have to be viewed in landscape:

It does not matter if a picture is attached or not the phone ALWAYS downloads a message. Even if the message just has links to articles someone sends me I have to wait 10-15 seconds to view it. It comes as an attachment. How do i stop this from happening?

3. CC: & BCC: Fields Gone:

What the heck happened to these recipient fields? Most of my time is spent on this phone sending messages. Especially for work. Is there a setting that I am missing to these fields are active. This would be a major setback to me if not.

Thanks.

[Hero CDMA General] smstutler:
Is it at all possible to edit something to make Rosie go from 7 screen to another number ? I don't really use all 7 and was thinking 5 would be a much better idea. And I know there are after market home apps that can do it but I do like the widgets that come with Rosie. Something like the Zen Rom has where you can choose between 5 and 7 screens ?
[Hero CDMA General] smstutler:
Really, no one has any idea or even the slightest interest in less screens ?
[Hero CDMA General] bobsbobbers:
I would gather it's of no tangible benifit. If you want fewer screens, don't put anything on them. Sense is going to take up memory whether you have 1 or 7 screens available to you, it's embeded too deep into our OS'es. If you really want the customization, use a launcher like HelixLauncher that gives you this customization. You can even use your home screen in Landscape mode with it :eek:

My vote: Even if it's possible, it's more work than its worth.
[Hero CDMA General] smstutler:
The Zen rom has a choice of 5 or 7. Just wondering how that is possible and what it would take to maybe make it work on hero rosie. As for the other launchers well the htc widgets I prefer over the 3rd party ones. Not really a big deal, was just curious.

Another thing, Darch and 360, wonder why no one else has tried to implement this yet on hero.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaelsam:
Flashed the Danger Spl today and during the reboot for it my son decided it would be funny to remove my battery and hide it (yes hes still alive ^^). Now, my phone will boot into recovery but my cyanogen rom file is corrupted according to my phone and won't install. My question is is there anyway to download a new rom file through the use of console or am i pretty much screwed for now? Yes i know i'm on a pc posting this but i can't download files on my work pc and my personal pc isn't working currently. I have the Gapps file on sdcard but was wondering if there was anyway to download the new cyanogen rom from console? Any help is appreciated.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kusotare:
you could theoretically do it through the console using the wget command if your data connection happens to be miraculously working. otherwise, I would say no. my recommendation, find a buddy who can download it for you, toss it on your sd card and go from there.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaelsam:
Ya kinda what i figured was just hoping that someone else knew something i could do in console that i didn't. Thanks for the help though ^^
[General Topics] leebsammy:
I'm currently a Verizon Wireless Customer. I have my NE2 and can get the TP2 for $50 or the Incredible for $170. I'm looking for recommendations. I'm coming from the Droid Eris which was given to me as a gift. I loved android with Sense UI. I know that the TP2 has WM 6.1 or 6.5 but can boot android 2.1 with Sense UI now as well. with limitations. I like that the TP2 is highly customizable with various different roms to choose from. Also, Having a hardware keyboard would be nice to use again. I've only heard perfect things about the TP2's keyboard... The incredible has clearly newer technology with Android 2.1 with Sense UI fully working. I'm sure the phone will eventually be rooted and henceforth also very customizable. I know the specs of both phones. Based on everything including the difference in price, what are your recommendations?
[General Topics] BASSMANBOB:
How is this even a question?!lol Incredible of course! The processor on that bad boy is worth it! and the camera, and the screen, and the phone itself,plus itll get rooted very soon so custom ROMs will be flooding the incredible forum!:D

I have a TP2 and love it but trust me...Android is the way to go orrrrr, a TMO HD2:D
[General Topics] glitzbd:
Well leebsammy it is all personal choice of course, but it seems like you want to stick on the Android side of things... My vote would be for the Incredible, and that not only comes from the fact that it is natively an Android based device... Specification-wise it trumphs every aspect of the Rhodium.

On that note I went from a Tilt 2 (TP2) to a Nexus One, and while I was/still am a huge Windows Mobile junkie... I will not be returning, it was great, but Android is so much more up to my speed. I like multimedia, ease of use, and sheer functionality. While the TP2 was a great phone, I felt the hardware was a little dated, and having it in a nice Body Glove case, I was upset when I'd run out of RAM and have to pull it all the way out in order to soft reset. On the upside that keyboard was AWESOME! However, being on the Nexus One - Swype has more than made up for its lack of a keyboard, and the Snapdragon processor has never gotten bogged down. Mind you I have never had an HTC phone and kept it stock, but the Nexus is actually very nice as-is and as such I haven't done anything to it, other than install applications!

And also if you bought a TP2 with the intention of running Android, it was not nearly mature enough for daily use on my GSM model.

So like I said my vote go for the Incredible, and I don't think you you will be disappointed.
[General Topics] orb3000:
Rhodium all the time!!!

I prefer to have a REAL keyboard then better specs:cool:
[General Topics] leebsammy:
Thanks a lot for you're suggestions. I appreciate all of you guys input. You're probably right about me wanting to stay with android. Having a Droid eris however, i hated having such a short battery life.. The incredible has the same battery as the eris. i can't imagine that the snapdragon and extra ram would do anything but drain it's life even more. I've heard that the TP2 can get through a full day with heavy useage. also having the availability of android and wm would be nice. if the developers could get sound working for android for TP2; i wouldn't have an issue running it most of the time. I could still run swype on the tp2 for portrait mode, and use the hw keyboard in landscape. besides texting, i really only use the browser and a few apps. gmail/ pandora. The lower price of the TP2 also would be nicer to my wallet...
[Hero CDMA General] Gregalous:
So, so far with every OC Rom I've tried (both versions of FreshToast and all recent versions of DarchDroid) I'm getting the same problem: the phone will hang up at the first HTC screen at boot.

I wiped, partitioned the sdcard as 32mb swap, 512mb ext2 and remainder fat32. Then converted ext2 -> ext3. I've tried just about everything, from reflashing the ROM, to repairing sd:ext, to re-partitioning. Nothing works.

ADB doesn't detect the phone, so I can't do a logcat. I did manage to get the last 2 last_kmsgs though, so they're both linked below.

First:

Second:

If a dev could take a look at these and tell me what the problem is I'd really appreciate it! I'd LOVE to try one of the OC roms but I haven't been able to :(

It looks like your phone is failing at various different points in the kernel (which could be the result of the OC...not really sure.)
[Hero CDMA General] wcgbmd:
Don't know if this helps at all but I'm using a 1.5 rom with a kernel based on toast's latest release I had this same issue multiple times and I got it working by not pushing any files to /data/app or /system/app and restoring with the 1.56 RUU before hand.
