[P3600 Software Upgrading] NORMANKOOL001:
Hi, I am trying to flash my P3600 with the 1.56.70.11 Radio, but every time I start RUU, I get an error (after the device is put into tri-colour screen) saying 'Ensure your device is properly connected or sitting in the cradle correctly' (or something along those lines.

I have tried 3 times now! Please help! I apparently have Olipro 1.30 on the P3600, but something makes me think I have the old Des's Crashproof (if that even exists lol)

Thanks alot,
[P3600 Software Upgrading] kingshan:
The same thing happen to me...

I also stuck at 3 colour screen, after clicked the update button (ROM Update Utility - sspl des)

Master, Help us...
[P3600 Software Upgrading] kingshan:
@Norman: just run RUU file on windows XP...:D:D:D:D

will be fine

I find this same case when I ran RUU on Win7 or vista...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kamilwk:
Hello guys, I've got quite weird problem. Today morning, I tried to run android on my Tilt, but when I've done flashing, my phone couldn't find sim card (which was in it). I thought it was maybe ROM problem, so I've changed it to another and it was the same. Phone couldn't find sim card which was in it. Okey, I tried to change sim to one from another operator and was still the same... At last, I reflashed my kaiser to Win Mobile 6.5 (shifu 4.3 ROM, best for me) and it's all the same! It didn't crash or something like it, so I think it must be software problem.

What do you think guys, why it can't find sim?

Actually, I've got shifu 4.3 ROM, Radio 1.70.19.09 and HardSPL 3.29.

What shall I do to get it back to work?

Waiting for your advice.

//Edit: found a solution to this, searching the forum. I´ll try it and then say if it works.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] emiromar:
ive got the same issue, let me now what u did to fix if u get it working
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kamilwk:
I tried to put a tape on my sim card to get it better connecting to the port, but it isn't still working... I read all topics about not working sim, but I haven't found real working answer. Can someone say what exactly should I do to make it working (without getting it to service)?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ASCIIker:
why without getting it to service?

some things are just hardware failures and no software can fix them. i have personally had this problem. read the FIRST page of the kaiser general forum and you will see at least 2-3 such threads. this is a common issue because of the moving parts in the kaiser. if the do-it-yourself tricks aren't working, then it is very very likely a fault in the main flex cable as detailed in the threads i am mentioning.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kamilwk:
Yeah, I've seen that and it's really getting me down...

Why not? Just because I had a issue with not contacting usb port, I got my kaiser to service (not original, just something like "buy-sell phones service) and it costed me about 120zł (it's 30 euro, on that current). It wasn't done good. If I had a required stuff to solder it, I'd done that by myself. Next, my kaiser falled off my knee, when I was playing my guitar and writing an sms (I mean, I had guitar on my chest and I was writing sms in the same time) and slider works only in one place (not two - right and left, just only right). I tried to repair it, but it's just torned plastic and I can't do anything with it.

Now, sim card reader has f*cked up... I don't 've got enought money to pay for all things to do with my Tilt, so I think I'd lie down in my drawer...

Goodbye kaiser, hlip... ;(

Maybe, later, I'd buy G1 :).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ASCIIker:
sorry to hear about the entire story. i used my tytn2 for a full 2 years. i had the main flex cable repaired last month and my repair guy also did a poor job. he put in a tilt's main flex cable, so my sim started working again. BUT! he didn't notice that the tilt does not have a front cam. so now my tytn2's front cam does not work. :mad:

i used the repaired tytn2 just fine for the past month. i just got an hd2 yesterday because i couldn't resist! :D

but it was worth having my kaiser repaired because now i can sell it. if i did not have it repaired, no one would want to buy a phone whose sim card doesn't work!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kamilwk:
Yeah, I used my for about 1,5 year, but it's second hand phone - it was used by my friend for about year. How much did you pay for that repair? Just wanna know what prices are for that :).

HD2... Man, you've got world's controlling center in your hands! :D

Congratulations ;).

I'm thinking of selling my kaiser like "sim not working, just for parts or to repair!", but I'll wait for the price in service.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ASCIIker:
i'm in a country where i can't use ebay/paypal, otherwise i would have ordered a brand new part for the kaiser. these parts are available as "do-it-yourself" kits for about $35.

where i am, i had to have it replaced by a local service shop. these shops rarely have replacement parts for "exotic" phones like the kaiser. so i had to settle for a cannibalized part from a used tilt for about $45 :rolleyes: i still think it was worth it because without repairing it, i could probably sell it for about $50. after repairing it, i can probably sell it for about $150+ in the market here. so i will still make a profit of 150-45=$100+ compared to a profit of $50 without having it repaired. :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mr. Clown:
Definitely you have a good deal with your kaiser....
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Fa310tx:
Hello...

I've seen various bubble level apps, but I'm looking for something that can, at least, record the maximum lean angle. Preferably, it could track lean angle with gps, so I could map it and see where I lean the most on a map.

Any ideas or would someone be able to write something quick?

It would require a means of setting a zero point, so I could mount the phone and track from there.

[Legend General] matt246:
Ok so I got a legend, freakin cool phone. Had the opportunity to upgrade to desire for free so of course I took it. Now don't get me wrong, of course the desire is a 'better' phone, but I cannot help but notice that build is soooo much better on the legend. Now most of you will say of course, it is aluminum, but it's not just that.

1) Probably the most annoying, the screen on the legend destroys the desire. It shouldn't on paper, but believe me it does. The pentile matrix vs no pentile matrix is abundantly clear.

2) I am terrified of dust getting under the screen because i can see the gap between the screen and phone and am constantly making sure I clear dust from it. On the legend the screen is sealed to the side of the phone.

3) Well obviously the materials aren't as nice, but I knew that would be the case in making the change so that one does not really count.

That being said, the desire is a powerful beast and I am looking forward to Froyo.

These might be interesting points to someone tossing up between the two phones. The legend was also blazingly quick, and unless you want to play the latest 3d games, it is probably fast enough for you. Still not sure if I did the right thing upgrading!
[Legend General] nomad4ever:
If they update the Legend to Froyo 2.2, it will be my perfect phone for a long while. Am just digging the form factor and the alu body. The speed is already now sufficient for me, improved JIT performance is surely nice to have - but putting Apps to SD card is THE k.o. criteria.

Right now, after installing 40+ apps, the internal memory is full, but my 8 GB card is only utilized by docs and media files. Changing that will make it somewhat future-proof in my eyes. ;-)
[Legend General] Timothye:
HI .

i was tihnking about trading in my Legend for the Desire . but i havent had time to do it , and i am not really sure i want to do it .

with your words ,i think i might just stay with the legend for a while longer .

2.2 will come to the Legend .

as for now it IS ( Legend ) the BEST mobil i have ever had in my pocket !

and Android is just an Unreal OS .

I had the HD2 on release day here in Sweden .After having it for less than 1½ months i had to return it for another because it was defective .

I received another one . with the new one, it was defective after 3½ months . i went back and said enough is enough , i want Android !!

that was the best choice i have even made , i was awarded the Legend with 2.1 .

Cheers

[Legend General] zbrinski:
I think you were lucky that both of your HD2 broke, otherwise you wouldn't get to know Android and the great Legend.

[Legend General] stex_80:
I'm completely agree with NOMAD4EVER, i passed from iphone to htc touch pro, from this to legend, for me is the best device, performance like iphone and functionality like wm.

In finally my legend & android are the best, with froyo i hope better !
[Legend General] matt246:
hmmmmmm still undecided whether to go back to legend. did like the small form factor and superior build. arrrrgh gotta decide next 2 days to still be withing return period
[Legend General] dryspuri:
Desire is definitely superior in terms of hardware!!

but designwise legend in unique. what we can advise u?

but u know what!!! desire is favorite of developers & if u r in to flashing ROMS then stick with desire!!
[Legend General] Timothye:
Exactly m8 .

I'm lucky i guess!

But no turning back now .

to the OP'er .

2 days and counting .

keeep us informed of your choice .

Cheers
[Legend General] SergioA:
Hi Matt, thanks for your post!

What about battery life, are they comparable or the Legend wins?
[Legend General] matt246:
Hey I have only gone through my battery twice on desire so it will probably even get a bit better than it is now. Battery life on the desire is a little bit less than legend, but not as much as I thought it would be :)
[Legend General] matt246:
All right, have decided to keep the desire. Although this is probably more down to laziness than an actual well thought out decision. But if I decide I really want the legend then I can always sell the desire. Might do that if legend actually gets 2.2
[Legend General] matt246:
Ok little bit of an update, just managed to get my desire side by side with my friends legend.

The colors on the legend look so washed out next to the desire! Doesn't even seem AOMED. In my memory legend screen was so much better but next to desire it did not compare.

Also legend felt pretty slow after using the desire for 2 weeks.

So in my opinion, the legend only wins out on form factor now. Glad I kept my desire, enjoying all the custom roms that are coming out!

[HD2 General] thintin:
Hi. I don't seem able to access any of my shared folders on my home network since upgrading to Win 7 on my PC and the Energy ROM on my HD2.

I've tried using Resco explorer (it says 'no computers on network') and total commander. I've also tried adding the folders using their network addresses e.g. \\Lounge-PC\My Docs(E) but it doesn't work either.

I have a desktop and two laptops all running Win 7 and they share a home network using a CISCO wireless router; all are able to share files and folders.

Any help or advice gratefully accepted.

Phil :-)
[HD2 General] thintin:
nobody

I was expecting at least one person to have had a similar problem? :confused:
[HD2 General] Xp3RiM3nT:
can you see them through the TCPMP open file dialog?
[HD2 General] Raven78uk:
Try option: Map Drive :D

Menu>File>Network>Map Drive

after add you will see folders in : my network
[HD2 General] thintin:
Xp3RiM3nT

No, I cant see any network computers in TCPMP's open file dialogue.

Raven78uk

That is how I usually connect to my shared drives but now I get the message 'no computers on network' in Resco and Total Commander doesn't show and network PCs either.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
- Make sure Wifi is connected on the HD2...

- In Resco's network folder, select new folder like usual to add a share, menu->settings, check there is ONLY the IP/mask of your wifi, not the one of the data connection. If both are there, untick automatic settings, and remove the WWAN one.

Should solve it. Otherwise if you have wifi AND data connected it will try to search for computers on WWAN, which would take days...
[HD2 General] Xp3RiM3nT:
So you can definately connect to the ahred folders from other pc's its just connecting from the phone that is the problem?

If you go to this page in your control panel on the computer with a shared folder:

Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings

check that the settings are enabled like so:

network discovery: on

file and printer sharing: on

sharing so anyone on network can read: on

128bit encryption: on

password protectged sharing: off (or on if you have a password on that pc, if its on and there is no password on that pc then you cant login and therefore cant connect to the shared folder)

Inore homegroup stuff.

after all of this is set correctly and you are sure some folder is being shared on the pc you are trying to connect to then go to tcpmp and go to File>open File and then go to \\<PC-NAME-HERE>\ ie \\Lounge-PC\ as you mentioned earlier.

tcpmp should prompt you for a un/pw if you have none for this pc just click login/connect (cant remember what the button says) and then ytou should see your folders/files?

see how you do with that and we can then try and see why you cant see them in explorer.
[HD2 General] maclean_cherry:
It's probably because of Windows 7 Home Group. It's a pain in the arse to get normal file sharing working be default..
[Desire General] robertmacnair:
Im a complete idiot...

Now that I have got that out of the way, can someone please explain the basic process to rooting my device.

I had rooted my my Hero fairly easily, but the talk of boot loader etc has got me confused.

Reading this part of Modaco's instructions:

Where do I download bootloader from?

Also, I have a sim free Desire... do I need to create a goldcard, and if not which steps can i miss from the instructions.

I think I need a stupidly basic version.

So sorry, and I feel like as soon as I realise what I'm missing I'm gonna feel like a real ****.

Thanks!
[Desire General] martinlong78:
The bootloader is already on your device. You just need to check is the right version. Go to "About phone" it should tell you.

Then download r5-desire-root and you should be well on your way.

Watch out for USB bricks. I don't think there is any way to stop them yet, but there is a simple fix, which is details in this forum.
[Desire General] Mekrel:
You don't download bootloader, your phone has Bootloader on it already - but there's two versions 0.75 and 0.80 and you need to find out which one your phone has so you can download the right root ROM.

You can do that by holding the back key whilst turning on the device. The first screen you see will say which version your phone has.

You won't need to create a gold card by the sounds of things, so just backup all the files on your SD card and format it (you can format it via the phone).

So just skip the goldcard bit and start from when it tells you to boot into recovery (by holding volume down and power).

When you run the step2 script, the rootupdate.zip is pushed to your empty SD card, ready for the next step in the process.
[Desire General] robertmacnair:
Thanks boys, much appreciated! I'll let you know how it goes.
[Desire General] robertmacnair:
Quick thing, running the process through OSX, in the command prompt for step 1 its asking me for a password. I cant enter anything here and pressing enter just says its incorrect. Any ideas?

Cheers
[Desire General] cedeel:
Enter your user account password. Don't worry about not getting *'s.
[Desire General] robertmacnair:
Ah got you... one thing I didn't try. Will give it a go when I get home. Looking forward to see how it all goes as the Hero rooting did wonders!

[Touch Cruise General] sysiphus:
Hello, and thanks for putting up with a really simple question--on the original Polaris, is it 2100MHz only 3G, or is it triband 3G with 850/1900 as well? All the documentation I can find references all three, but separates 850/1900 and 2100 in the spec sheets. The reason I ask is that I have the opportunity to get a very inexpensive Polaris from Holland, but want to make sure it will work with my Canadian 3G.

Thanks for your help!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] meadams314:
So this morning, still half asleep I dropped my TP2 into the toilet while it was on. I grabbed it out of the toilet, and removed the battery as fast as i could (while a string of expletives came out of my mouth), let it sit under a lightbulb for a few hours.. then put it in a bag of uncooked instant rice, and left it in my warm car for most of the afternoon.

I never have been a very patient person so after about 8 hours of drying off, i put the battery back in and tried it. Phone boots up fine, everything seemed to work.. could see some moisture on the inside of the lcd still. Seemed I got lucky.. till i tried the keyboard. Some keys don't do anything, some make random crazy strings of letters.. oy. Took the battery out again, and it's back under the light bulb (sick of cleaning rice dust out of my phone).

Anyway, i'm wondering if anybody's had a keyboard on a phone screw up like that and work properly after completely drying out? I've had a few computer keyboards that screwed up like that but worked fine after drying a few days so i really hope the keyboard comes back, especially with USED tp2s still going for over 200 bucks on ebay.. yikes. Touchscreen works fine, was able to send a text no problem using the stylus.. but man i miss the keyboard!

Sorry for the novel.. any input would be appreciated!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] defaultdotxbe:
if you can, take it fully apart so you can dry the back of the keyboard directly

as you said, i've had PC keyboards that worked after drying, but i always had to take them apart to properly dry the innards
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aerotec:
Urgh!

I feel for you! I sit in the bath and surf and read on my TP2 and I am so careful! But accidents can happen!

Was the toilet water, err, fresh? I would suggest always leaving things with the battery out and in a warm place for at least 24hrs, as tempting as it is to power it up.

The keyboard membrane may dry out over a few days, I would suggest you don't use it for a few days.

Let us know how you get on.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] meadams314:
Unfortunately no, had a lil liquid waste in it.. i'm thinking about getting some rubbing alcohol to swish the phone around in.

to defaultdotxbe:

I would but i don't have the proper screwdriver, looks like a tiny little allen key type deal
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] EWAdams:
Rubbing alcohol isn't absolutely safe. It's only 70% alcohol, for one thing, and the rest is water. So you're actually putting more water INTO your phone when you use it, even though the alcohol helps it to evaporate faster.

I tried cleaning my old BlackBerry keyboard and trackball with rubbing acohol. The keyboard went nuts for a while. Eventually, after many days, it settled down, but now the trackball has a distinct tendency to bounce -- send two clicks instead of one, which is a drag when you click Delete and it instantly sends the Confirm click as well!

There's probably something better than alcohol, like ether, but I dunno where you'd get it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] defaultdotxbe:
its a torx 5, i have this screwdriver: http://www.homedepot.com/Tools-Hard...splay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053

most stores carry 91% alcohol too, and and some places will have 99%

although im always hesitant to put more liquid into the electronics, lol
