[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] odz:
Ok guys, i just got my tilt about 3 weeks ago from a friend and was disappointed by the horrible reception it got. I tried everything i could find, different spl, pretty much every radio released even 1.65.30 X_X, but nothing improved reception. I had pretty much given all hope of using the phone since i only had 1 bar of reception where i lived until i decided to take off the cover. I noticed 2 connectors in the back of the device and some quick goggling showed that they were external antenna ports. So i thought what if i stuck a pin in there? what'd know once i stuck a pin the gps external antenna connector the gps signal jumped through the roof...than i tried the other port to the left and what'd know? my signal went from 1 bar to a solid 4 bars. I thought maybe this was caused by me holding the pin so i bent the pin enough so that it can be pushed into the connector yet lean on the case and added a bit of tape. To my surprise the increase in signal strength stayed! I decided to test out my little mod to make sure the increase in strength wasn't just cosmetic. I took my phone on the train with me (I live in nyc) 4 bars through the train ride. I made a call on the way back and i was able to have a Cristal clear conversation something i was not able to do before. The reception i get now is pretty much solid anywhere i go no matter which radio i use, 4 bars all the time even with 3G..

To sum it up:

1) get a pin, you'll see 2 connectors near the camera, stick the pin in and observe your signal jump from 1-3bars to a solid 4 bars.

2) bend the pin so that it still makes contect with the connector yet is flush with the phone so that the cover will somewhat close.

It seems our devices have pretty crappy internal antennas if sticking a small pin in the external antenna connector can give such a huge jump in signal strength.

Right now i haven't been able to get the cover to close completely. Maybe someone can find something that works better than a pin while allowing the cover to close properly?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mrcutter:
Well, tried out with my Vario what you did. And now I don´t get it work with internal antenna again.:mad:

So right now I have no signal without a pin in the external antenna connection. With one I do.

Anyone there who knows if the internal one is just deactivated or if broke something when i softly put the pin in the connector?

How can I reactivate the internal antenna?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] odz:
I highly doubt you broke anything. what radio are you using? try 1.70.19.09. Did you try a soft reset? I just don't see how activating the external antenna port would cause the internal one to completely stop working. I had this mod working for about 2 weeks before i posted it. I put the pin in multiple times carelessly even and never had problems.

That´s my problem. I work with WM Smartphones now since 5 years and do flashing and expermiments all the time. So I think I´m right when I say, that I broke my phone with the pin i used. Damn thing.

Of course I will try to fix it, but maybe that fault will be the reason for an upgrade to touch pro (II). We will see.

Any ideas of solution are highly welcome.

I tried other Radios and made a Hardreset without success.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cdmccul:
The problem with what you have done is that you opened a rarely opened contact. The pin goes in and splits a connector apart, and when you pull the pin out, the connector doesn't make good contact. You have to make the contacts clean. I would suggest using a pin that has been mildly roughed up some how (maybe sanding side to side on the shaft of the pin to create grooves) and then use contact cleaner to wash and clean the contacts. Or, just put the pin in, and cut it off flush (or near flush) with the top of the connector.

This has been discussed elsewhere on the board, but I do not recall where right now.

It is not a software/firmware problem - it is just a mechanical failure.

is there any more people can give me some more advise ? Cause my phone still like that keeps on freezing every single day , can someone please help . Thank you
[HD2 General] Raadius:
I got a new HD2 last evening from my Tmobile store. The soft reset button on my firsrt one was red, it had HORRIBLE problems, a freakin headache. This new one has a yellow soft reset button and it crashed really bad last night after I turn it off and on. SENSI UI didn't load for like 10mins and it was glitching from Start Menu to the Sense UI menu. Ive only had the phone for 7hours, stock ROM too. This is fustrating.
[HD2 General] joshzzz2001:
mine got a red dot but it's not freezing for the past month.
[HD2 General] kcaj32:
I've had mine 7 days. Yellow reset button. Stock Rom.

No freezing at all. Battery sucks. I turned off a few things in Sense UI yesterday and the seems to have improved.

From what I've read, most of the freezing problems are due to the slow MicroSD or with large number op SMS or Music files.

Try taking out your card for a few hours and see if its still freezing. If it is, ask for a new card.
[HD2 General] KidTech:
Do yourself a favor return the phone your still with in the 14 day period. All of these problems are Sense U.I related and only custom roms can be fixed but your warranty will be voided..I wish i didnt buy this from Ebay and bought it from a corp store, so i could have returned it..
[HD2 General] ajftl:
even with custom ROM.. less freezing but yes.. usually on the texting.. i think htc just released a new tmo rom the 26
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
That one is for Tmo in europe, not the US, won't work on the US model. (just wanted to be clear ;))
[HD2 General] littlebigkid:
that rom might kill your phone. be careful.
[HD2 General] marcmarshall:
I called HTC and was told they know about the freezing issues.It uss with T-MOBILE HD2 only and they are working ona firmware fix. I have yellow reset button and lots of freezes. wondering off I should return this and get the Incredible from Verizon. Its Android so much better?
[HD2 General] mumbo_jumbo:
get a new faster micro sd that will solve your problem for sure
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
New faster? What does that mean? Are you saying to get a new 1GB microSD instead of using the 16GB microSDHC card that came with the phone?

A card isn't "fast", the thing that determines the speed of which a card can be "read" is the size of the card (32GB would be "slower" than 16GB).
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Actually the speed that an SD card can be read at is rated by "class" (2, 4, 6, 8, and even some at 10 now)....the higher the class, the faster it can be read from. Unfortunately, HTC saw fit to provide us with a class-2 16GB from the factory, which can contribute to a number of issues, so even a class-4 card of any size would provide better performance than that :o
[HD2 General] ryan562:
I upgraded to a class 6 8 gb micro sd and all freezing issues have ended except for sms freezing. I hope tmobile comes up with a firmware fix for it
[HD2 General] steve austin:
the ugly truth is...

HTC did not do a lot to upgrade the ROM they sent to the US. Even with having a 6 month start and KNOWING the issues and complaints they were receiving overseas. Yes, you can flash, yes there are multiple tweaks, yes the people here are great at helping. However, the basic functionality that "should" but, did not come with the phone (sms lags, music skipping, sytem crashes when using proprietary sense UI) is really quite bad. Everone does not have these problems but there are more and more people asking the same questions.

I am going to wait until T-mo and htc get their @$$e$ in gear and release a fix. No timetable yet for it, but they have heard and earfull and are doing something :confused:. Then I will flash after all the manufacturers cures are applied.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
Have you tried cleaning up your inbox? I had 700+ messages in there and cleaned it up, haven't had a SMS/MMS-related crash since...
[HD2 General] MikeASU09:
I too just purchased mine. Class 2 file transfer for a 16 gig card is ridiculous. For this phone anyway. Also waiting for that sms freezing fix. It is definitely swype related and for some reason, swype (unlike any other input format) needs all messages loaded prior to being able to function. Blah...these are the ONLY issues I am having with the phone. Have had it since March 25th.
[HD2 General] darkphantom:
I am ready to throw it on the wall, I thought I had found a fix until the phone restarted all by itself when I was listening to music.

[Desire General] pelawaks:
Hi..

Anybody knows how to switch manually to use 2G or 3G only?

Because sometimes when I am on the 3G coverage area, the phone still use the EDGE data connection rather than the 3G/HSDPA data connection. It really annoy me because the speed is slow if I use the EDGE connection. :o

In my old nokia, it allows me to use the 2G/3G connection only, so I wonder if desire can also do that. :confused:
[Desire General] Eugene's Mac:
Settings/wireless & networks/mobile networks/network mode. The auto is however set up quite well. The reason you keep finding edge, is that the edge signal might be stronger that the 3G. 3G will always be the preferred option for the phone, but keep in mind that a strong signal on edge will beat a poor signal on 3G where download speed is concerned. Therefor your phone tends to pick the fastest/strongest signal in your area.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] o0steveo0o:
Hi all. I brought me a at&t tilt2 off ebay not realizing that you yanks don't support video calling. Dose anyone know if theres a mod to enable the front camera if it has one hardware wise or if its feasible to buy and install the cam and touch panel. I haven't pulled mine apart yet so not too sure if the hardware is actually there.

Cheers
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
No front facing camera hidden under there so dont bother taking it apart to see... that said I've not even heard of anyone putting one in. My advice.. put the phone BACK up for sale and by one that will work for what your needs are.

It'll save you a lot of time, money and aggrivation. If you do decide to stick with the US version you may just be grumpy that your phone doesnt have the camera period.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] o0steveo0o:
lol no biggie as im not all that keen on video calling anyway but would be nice to have tho. Haven't seen any cheep European 850/2100 hsdpa tp2's on ebay.

[Droid Incredible General] Honestly77:
If I can do math correctly then I am sure the 1GHz is almost DOUBLE 550MHz which is what the Droid is packin. So I doubt your theory based on that alone.
[Droid Incredible General] mejdam:
Droid running Bugless Beast v1 overclocked at 1ghz. should have put that on title but certainly put that on the youtube video. Keep in mind the incredible not only runs Android 2.1 but Sense on top. Also keep in mind im not a Motorola Droid users defending his phone, i am a new incredible user showing hard facts with video.
[Droid Incredible General] Honestly77:
We need video proof. And I still call bs for the fact the having to oc your chip your putting straing on it. I doubt it can keep up with a chip natively running 1GHz.
[Droid Incredible General] pingels:
I don't doubt it. The droid had a pretty capable processor at stock speeds. Better at drawing polygons than the snapdragon. (what was it 35M to 20M?) Overclocking it 40% makes it even faster.
[Droid Incredible General] mejdam:

I can believe this, my droid hit 14.5 on linpack overclocked to 1.2 and using jit. With that being said I'm still getting up in the morning and getting the incredible:)
[Droid Incredible General] spotmark:
I just got done setting up my friend's Incredible for her, and seat of the pants feel is, it's faster and smoother then my Moto Droid running Cyanogen overclocked to 1.1. Can't wait for MY Incredible to arrive tomorrow.

you cannot compare wifi vs 3g lol #fail
[Droid Incredible General] mejdam:

[Droid Incredible General] daftlush:
what the hell is the point of this post? obviously when we overclock the incredible, it will pwn the Droid.

on the other hand, a comparison of the screens would have been useful. so far, I think the moto screen is better.

[Droid Incredible General] deekjx:
First off, I don't think the Incredible has a Just in Time compiler like most custom Roms released. If it does, I doubt it defaults to on. JIT massively improves performance. I'll have to watch the video when it works. I'm curious what test were run to judge speed. If the posts so far are right and you over clocked the moto droid to 1.1 that affects things as well. In the end, I'm sure I'll be happy with my incredible regardless of the comparison to the Moto Droid.
[Droid Incredible General] deekjx:
This was a horrible test. Its not testing the speed of the processor, its testing download speeds? The Incredible has the 3G icon on it and further proof its on 3g and not wifi is that Text messaging won't interrupt its wifi connection but will mess up your 3G connection since you are on a CDMA/EVDO network.
[Droid Incredible General] Honestly77:
Ya there are so many variables none of these videos or tests are considered valid. When we root the incredible and get some legit roms then we can talk.
[Droid Incredible General] MrGoodCat:
is this a joke? maybe to be fair since the incrdible is stock you should flash the original 2.1 update to your moto....

then once the incredible is rooted and running custom roms, then you could compare the two like that....

seriously you need to edit the title. "overclocked moto vs. incredible stock" something along those lines. don't try and be decieving and make ignorant people think they can get a moto and expect a faster phone stock...

this thread is wow, simply wow. sorry really not trying to bash, i appreciate you making and uploading the vids, its just a horribly weighted comparison
[Droid Incredible General] BzBz:
same here. i have my incredible right next to my droid at 1ghz. not a huge difference but it is smoother and snappier than the droid.

And thats WITH the sense UI which is a terrible resource hog.

Hey guys this isnt my first time flashing my device but ive run into a little problem:

I flashed my HTC diamond before to the Gen.Y D2 R5.5 ROM. After I had to return my device for warranty so i flashed it back to the original Rogers Rom and Radio.

I got my new device and now ive been looking at these few ROMS or themes or w/e u want to call them:

|6.5.5|WWE| ★ Energy Series (23563/21899) ★ |Apr 21| Sense 2.5 ! - GTX Themed is what i want to put on my phone if i put this ROM

GTX Sense 2.5 - (looks beautiful but i can see its cancelled and is continued by the lower ROM chef)

[PRJ] [THEME] [Prev] GTX Sense 2.5 Theme - Continuation of development - Continuation of the above one and is so nice but I dont know how to add it since its a theme and not a rom. Also how do i put it if i just got my diamond straight from Rogers.

I would like to put the last of the 3 but Im not sure how since it isnt a ROM so can someone please tell me step by step?

Also if I want to put the first one as well is all i need to do again do flash it with signed hardspl 1.93...and then upgrade the radio and put that rom? Because I tried to use hardspl signed 1.93 but it doesnt show anything in the folder but a .nbh file and no custom ruu app inside.

All help is greatly appreciated

Thank

So I'm doing my very best here... but I'm not ready to start partitioning my PC to run Linux.

Linux is very intimidating to me, as Ive tried it on several occasions. I was literally raised on DOS/Windows and my father HATED anything *ix. So trying to UNLEARN all that and re-learn linux is just really freakin frustrating.

IS there no other way to compile a kernel other than having a PC running linux?

I just want to enable JIT on the newest FreshToast to see the increase in speed. Just "Playing around" i guess.

[Hero CDMA General] darchstar:
jit isn't compiled into the kernel, its compiled from android source. You can either try patching aosp to get a libdvm.so to have jit in it, or you could jut push the libdvm.so from dusted donuts. you don't need linux to get jit on your phone

I don't fully understand, but it seems like code that is used often is compiled to be run more efficiently before its actually used... I'm probably WAY off here but Im no expert. LOL

Yeah... JIT will make things a lot faster. Noticeably faster. It's not in the kernel live DarchStar said, so you get a break there :) If you do want to mess with kernels though, there are SOME scripts (very few) written in Perl that can be used to extract the ramdisk and kernel from the boot.img. I just took TrevE's advice and messed with it in Ubuntu Linux, since it was all native that way. You WILL need two files though... mkbootfs and mkbootimg if you want to recompile the kernel and ramdisk back into a boot.img though.

it just reads your apps in native code making them run faster and more efficient, thats all.
