[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnholyGod:
I have, in the past, installed various utilities to make my screen rotate automatically, but none of them worked as great as I wanted them to work (nothing managed to enable BubbleBreaker to run in Landscape mode, the Manila never rotated properly, etc.) so I ended up deleting them and putting newer ones and they didnt do what I wanted either.

recently my sms and browsers stopped rotating too and sometimes when i manage to make them rotate, they wont go back to the original (portrait mode) and everything just messes up.

I know that I can hard reset my phone and revert back to the original settings, but then I've got loads of apps installed and stuff customized the way I like.

I was wondering if they is any thing I can do to revert all the settings (for the screen rotation) back to the original values without losing any information, apps, other stuff I have on my phone.

Thanks

P.S. please provide a list (if possible links) of the apps I will need to use too.

P.P.S if possible I would like to know how to set other things too, like how to change the position of the start menu to make them come on the bottom bar instead of on top, how to use manila in landscape mode, how to keep the music player on while I turn on the camera (I could do this on my BlueAngel)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Here's what I would do;

Install TD2 Tools which has a rotation manager.

Then install Topaz Keyboard Controller and map one of your hardware keys to rotate your screen.

To get bottom bar start menu would require flashing a custom ROM as WM 6.5.x is not available stock on Topaz but has been ported from other devices.

Music palyer while camera is on seems would be a memory resource issue.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnholyGod:
thanks

but im still curious about the cam and the media player

since you could do it with older slower devices running WM2003 but now the new ones which are supposed to be faster (more mem) won't allow you
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
As devices have improved, so have the cameras, but they have always been resource hogs.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
did you wipe before you restored the backup?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanr86:

hanging up on hero boot screen is not a good sign is it ?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanr86:

I've checked my phone using mtty,and it showed I got a superCID.

My question is :Can I flash any ROM without doing Hard-Spl?

BTW,my original Spl is 1.28.0000

I know it's a bit like a dumb questtion,but I want to be reassured before go ahead.

Thank you for your kind reply.
[Touch2 General] Addicted2xda:
AFAIK, you need to use HSPL (i.e. Secondary Program Loader) to load a custom ROM. Well, you can always flash it, but it wont boot :p.

Correct me if I am wrong :D
[Touch HD General] N!ghty:
since the asynchronous time problem still exists it would be great if someone could programm a little app that can sync time (like every 30-60 minutes) in order to keep it up to date.

id like to do it myself but my java and linux knowledge is way too little. but i think for the pros out there it shouldnt be too hard a task ;)

i really hope someone could address himself to this task for all of us sake, since i dont know how long it will be until the problem is fixed.
[Touch HD General] TheBrilliantMistake:
Quick fix for the moment is to enter airplane mode, then come out. It seems to cause a clock update.

Will look out for a sync app, I'm sure there will be one, there's loads for other WinMo, Pre, Symbian etc
[Touch HD General] N!ghty:
i searched 4 an app but didnt find any. therefore the thread.

airplane mode only updates the clock if clock is set to "automatically", because it syncs it from the network. but seriously, thats not even remotely something like a "fix".
[Touch HD General] I3INARY:
There is a nice (free) app in the android Market called "ClockSync". It lets you sync your device via NTP. Scheduling the sync is also possible.

Here in UK, I have enjoyed using navigation since owning a HERO, running Rom 2.1.

I used Nav Launcher, and when first used it prompted me to download

( Brutal ) Maps, which I did and then it all worked fine.

I now have the DESIRE ( excellent bit of kit:D ) - It's on Orange and they have their own satnav app - which is crap:mad: so one of the first thing I did was download the Nav Launcher app, which again prompted me to download ( Brutal ) Maps, which I did, and it worked.

The problem is, if I have shut down my phone, when I restart and launch Nav it says I have to install the latest version of ( Brutal ) Maps* - despite it being already installed. I have to do this to get navigation to work.

I've done this numerous times - and I've checked in Applications, and there is only 1 installed.

Very annoying......any thoughts people?

cheers

:):o:)

*maps4.1..1.415-brut9.apk
[Desire General] Rusty!:
Stop using Nav Launcher and get the latest official version of Google Maps.
[Desire General] Whiterin:
The official one only works in the US and Canada. It doesn't work outside North America.
[Desire General] rolfd:
It works in the UK and ireland too. Has done for a few weeks now :D

[HD2 General] 10076757:
Hi everyone new here. I am having some issues with getting my GPS to work properly.

I have noticed that if I use my phone without a sim inside then the GPS locks on pretty quick.

However if I put my T-Mobile sim inside and try getting a lock on the GPS it does not work, it keeps saying locating GPS in digital compass or seeking satellites in google maps. I have tried updating GPS satelite using quick GPS too but that didn't help.

So basically the GPS works when there is no sim inside the phone but doesn't when there is a sim (T-Mobile sim) inside the phone.

Does anyone know what could be the problem and how I can get it to work with the sim inside the phone?

Phone details:

My phone is running on the generic 1.66.405.2, ROM from the HTC website. I also HSPL2ed it as it was on the Tmobile rom. However the phone is still locked to Tmobile UK.

[HD2 General] Spl4tt:
i got the same problem, it doesnt find a satalite in google maps. but it works very fast when im outside and set the gps manually in google maps. it works with com4 and 256000 rate, but it never works when i let it manage by windows..

its the same problem i had with my old omnia :/ lucky i dont use it that much, but would be nice if i could use it when i really need it.. >.<

never tried it without sim card, and i dont want to try it.. for what should i use the phone without sim card, it would not work for google maps anyway without internet connection :P
[HD2 General] TitanXT:
But there is no option to select 256000 as the baudrate.

Also when I change the com port to com4 on the gps hardware setting and press ok to exit and go back into it to check to see if the setting has been saved I find that it reverts back to its original setting of Hardware port= None and Baudrate-4800. Why does it do that?
[HD2 General] Spl4tt:
for me there is an option for that rate Oo in google maps i mean..

but yea, u are right, my options got reverted too :/ i dont know why..
[HD2 General] TitanXT:
Could you tell what settings do you use in your external GPS?

Also are you able to get a GPS lock in your digital compass, could you check? Thanks.
[HD2 General] Spl4tt:
the external gps settings are:

programm ports: com4

gps hardware port: none, baudrate 4800

and access -> manage gps automatically ON

standard settings, didnt change them

and how to use gps with the digital compass? ^.^ i only know that the compass worked with google maps when i needed it 2 weeks ago xD
[HD2 General] TitanXT:
Thanks for the settings mate.

Yeah you set a location on google maps and then it locks on to the gps in the digital compass and you get the longitude and latitude displayed in the digital compass.

There is also the appearance of this green light that rotates around the circumference of the compass as you move your phone, wonder what the green light indicates..
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
the green dot points towards the destination you chose. it's a heading marker.
[HD2 General] TitanXT:
Ah right cheers for that mate.

Btw I managed to get the GPS working, I think its just the sim reception that makes it the gps signal weaker when I try to lock on to gps satelites.

A simple solution for SEEKING SATELLITES (0) problem - Telstra HTC HD2 Google Maps

After frustrating weeks trying to have my GPS working on Google Maps, I've managed to find the solution for my "SEEKING SATELLITES (0)" problem when using Google Maps on my Telstra HTC HD2.

I've just turned AGPS Service OFF (Start --> Settings -->Location).. bingo.. it now locks to the satellite in a matter of seconds...

I hope this post will help other people who might be experiencing the same frustration I did..

Cheers!!

Re: Can not Listen "music" thro Bluetooth..but can make/receive call

I had the same problem as you this morning. I managed to discover the reason. The headset was not set to connect to the media player on the phone. Just go to BT options and hold click on the headset button. Simply check the option to be connected to media.

Bro I dont get it much what are you saying ? :rolleyes: :confused: ... However i have tried using Nokia Bluetooth stereo headset BH-214, Nokia BH-503 Bluetooth Stereo & such as from Sony. but its just not working .. But my friend He use nokia Nokia 5610 XpressMusic. He can listen music very well though above headsets .. :(

It have just Call , Pause, next, back and On/off button ... what should i do ? By the way Thanks A Lot bro for quick reply ..:)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] elmicha:
If you go to the Bluetooth options of the phone, where you can see your paired headset, touch long on the headset and select options. There it might be possible to enable something like a media profile besides the phone profile.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ampicillin:
OKay got it bro u means when i connect headset though my mobile then there in BT Option i can see my paired device something like your mobile is connected to Bluethooth..

Ex. Nokia Bluetooth stereo headset BH-214 suppose it shows there in BT Option then i press on Nokia Bluetooth stereo headset BH-214 and it will start pairing and later it will be paired to that device so i long press on Nokia Bluetooth stereo headset BH-214 ? and i can see option or something like that is it ? then i 'll try that Thanks but bro i don't think so because if i do that then pair will be disconnected i think but i will try that Thanks A Lot... :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bellor:
ok, so elmicha better explained what it was i wanted to say. I forgot to mention all of what I was saying was to be done in the options menu on the phone. When going into the Bluetooth options in the phone's settings, you should see the Scan for device option. If you have not already paired the headset with the phone, scan for it and pair. After getting it paired, long touch the headset line in the list below the "Scan for device" button. A menu should appear. Choose Options and make sure the Phone and Media profiles are both selected. The Media profile was not selected in my case and the music would not play through the headset.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ampicillin:

Please Help Guys ...

[Hero, G2 Touch General] theTeal:
i've had what appears to be the same problem since i bought the hero last september - streaming to car stereo as opposed to headset. previous 4 phones worked with the stereo as they should

with the stock rom it would only connect to stereo using a phone profile (no media option available). it's definitely a compatibility issue with the particular stereo as the hero streams to a bluetooth home theatre thingy that i have without fault.

solution: villainRom 6.2 - i tried a legend in the car and it worked fine on the stock rom. so i assumed if i rooted and flashed a 2.1 rom, it would do the job.. . .wrong, after a couple of painstaking months of messing about with multiple 2.1 roms that didn't work properly, 2 days ago i said i'd give villain another try as they have a new version available. now a2dp on my hero works properly :D - just a shame the phone is now a bit slow :(

give it a try
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ampicillin:

Okay, so I've NEVER flashed a custom ROM to ANY phone, but I want to mess with 6.1 on the Dash. I'm not exactly sure what Hard SPL is, but I keep getting told that if I were to flash anything to my Dash 3G, that I'd need it. However, I never see anything about Hard SPL for the original Dash.

So my questions are: Does the original Dash need any form of Hard SPL, or can I just flash a custom ROM? And after I flash the custom ROM, can I go back to the T-Mobile stock ROM if I wish just by flashing it the way I would any T-Mobile update?

Thanks, everyone. Sorry for all the n00bish questions.
[HTC Excalibur] Frostmoon:
from my knowledge and i've flashed my Dash many times you just need SDA unlock to unlock your phone and then you can flash a ROM and you can revert to the stock ROM at any time, in the main section of this forum read the sticky [the top thread] and you'll find everything you need to know how to flash for a n00b.

:]
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
If you are still not sure and you don't want to take a risk click here.

Excalibur Update SPL (USPL) 1.11 (Hard-SPL that will save you from having to flash the correct Model & Vendor ID if semi bricked device)

After this you will be able to flash any cooked or official rom.

Hi guys,

I am one of the 'lucky' ones with a broken USB-port. I currently have the MoDaCo custom ROM installed but I want to be able to install a generic ROM and return my phone for repairs.

Thus, I need to flash a generic ROM to my phone, and that's where my (n00b) problems start.

1: Flashing the original file simply by running the .exe file crashes. First, when describing my current FW version it says something about having 'too many images' or something. It tries to flash, but gets stuck while 'waiting for bootloader'. This runs to 100, and then gives me an error-message. Annoying!

2: As 1: doesn't work I want to flash directly from Fastboot. However, I cannot exract the two files needed to flash for some reason... I rename the RUU file from .exe to .zip, but only extract the boot.img file - the large .zip file returns an error, and nothing is extracted. I use winrar to extract, but have also tried 7zip.

3: If/when I succeed in extracting the files - where should the be put, when I execute the fastboot commands? On the SD-card or in the androidsdk/tools folder on the pc?

I really hope you can help me with the above. It's so annoying, so now I just want to return my device :(

Thanx for you help guys ;)

There is a thread over at modaco on how to unroot your device. I used that to return mine to a generic rom before handing it back. It uses the fastboot option. I had the usb problem too.

[Desire General] JeckyllHavok:
Just enter fastboot and run one of the stock roms from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=677513
[Desire General] millen:
unfortunately that's where my installation crashes. I go into Fastboot and just run the .exe files. That stops because it cannot find the bootloader or something.

I need a method that isn't just executing the .exe files, but pushing the boot.img and the .zip files from a terminal fastboot command!
[Desire General] JeckyllHavok:
what does fastboot say if you plugin your phone, start in fastboot, download the android sdk to your pc and run fastboot devices from commandline
[Desire General] millen:
It can do that no problem - I can run the fastboot commands. I just don't know which to run - that's my problem :-)
[Desire General] JeckyllHavok:
just run

fastboot devices

this shows if fastboot sees your phone. It should give you a letter number combi
[Desire General] JeckyllHavok:
BTW: if you are on vista or win7 try the exe several times, cause theese two OS'es aren't fast in detecting new devices
[Desire General] abc27:
Run as administrator as well just in case.
[Desire General] millen:
I solved it - somehow.

I ran the unroot RUU file - again and again. And tried a few different USB-ports on my pc. I came gradually a little longer each time - and in the end - after maybe 5 attempts, it went all the way.

Yay - so now it's sent for repairs!
