Hey.

Someone split a drink on my HD2 last night :( and now the off button won't work. I can't lock my phone, end a call or turn it off. Really annoying!

Does anyone know of a program I can use to change say the back button to do the same function of the off button? Theres bound to be one but I couldn't find one with a search.

Also if anyone has an idea how I can try and physically fix my off button without voiding the warranty (ie taking off the little void sticker and unscrewing it) that would be awesome.

Thanks!

HI

I'm so sorry for your phone:(.

Maybe my solution isn't the right one, but you could use:

-lmt

+

-xda shutdown

so, for example, if you would turn off or sleep the phone you can just use a lmt command to run xda shutdown.

I hope you can fix up your phone...

Bye

P.s. I'don't know how you can change hard key function... sorry:(

Hi there!

I've searched a lot but couldn't find anything. Does someone know a calendar wich will synch the attendees and the organizer for a meeting, such as the winMo one, with Outlook??

I've leaved WinMo for Android and I'm a little bit lost without these informations. I'm using my Desire for work and have a lot of meeting, so I have to know the attendees and the organizer.

If it is not available, does someone know if something will be done in this way, and what so I can follow the development?

Thanks for your answers!

Hi. I downloaded and installed DINIK & MIRI rom.

I haven't realized from the start, but when I get a sms or mail, I just don't get those notification numbers on manila slider icons, like this

What can I do, to get it back?

Oh, and this rom has HTC messaging, so I installed that tweak, which removes it. Could this be the case?

I've got a problem with my hd2. The volume buttons don't work (i found replacement on ebay but it will take some time to arrive).

How can i change the volume from windows, from software, without pressing the dedicated hardware buttons? i can't seem to find anything to press while in a call, and i can't hear the other person, especially while i'm outdoor.

Hey all,

So my family has been thinking of moving over to sprint but the problem is that we can roam right onto verizon's tower's seamlessly which mean that i'll be data roaming. when i spoke to a rep last night they said Data Roaming costs 1$ a minute. SO i guess my question is... is this true? Also is there a feature were i can disable data while roaming? And lasty is there a crack yet to get free "tethering" or whatever sprint calls it.
[Touch HD General] mirceal:
Hello guys,

I need help reltaed to the compability between the 2 devices.

I have HTC Touch HD T8282 with official ROM 1.56.479.0(43972) WWE, Radio VErsion 1.13.25.24, CE )S 5.2.20769(builkd 20769.1.4.5).

The Parrot MKi 9100 is at the latest version: 1.5

The issue is that after the HTC is connected via Bluetooth to Car Kit and a I get a phone, I can not answer from the Car Kit answer buton! I have to press several time for answering. I thought it's a hardware problem with the Car Kit, but when I change the phone with an HTC Tyt'n II everything is fine!!!

So the conclusion is that there is an issue in the HTC, isn't it?

I checked on the Parrot web site and I see that they test the Car Kit with the HTC Touch HD 1.56.406.1 (43972) FRE.

The question is which is the difference between 1.56.479.0(43972) WWE and 1.56.406.1 (43972) FRE?

I realy don;t know what to do: to change and go on WM6.5? To change only the Radio firmaware?

Do you have some sugestions for me, please? i am quit disperate to use my 2 devices(HTC Touch HD and Parrot).

BR,

Mircea

PS: Which is the difference between HTC Touch HD T82828 and T8285? I tried to download the official ROM from HTC web site at HTC Touch HD and they say my phone is not compatible with my phone!?!? How is possible?
[Hero CDMA General] mslisaj:
I have the most perfect running Hero on Damage Controls 2.08.1 rom. Last night I plugged it in for charging and this morning when I unlocked the phone I was greeted by "Error Code 67 - Registration Failure - PCS Vision user name or password is incorrect". I didn't change a thing. The phone half of the device still works but the data half has quit. What happened?? Anyone else have this problem?

Love some help.........

Thanks for your time........

Lisa
[Hero CDMA General] riggsandroid:
Have you tried any of the following:

1. Reboot?

2. Update Profile in Settings->About Phone->System Updates

I received that error when attempting to USB tether.

Let us know what you find.
[Hero CDMA General] rt1oo:
toggle airplane mode on off
[Hero CDMA General] mslisaj:
Yes I tried to shut the phone down and rebooted and then I shut the phone down and took the battery out, put it all back together and rebooted and same thing. I just followed you directions and tried to update profile and while I have done this one thing in the past and it has taken some time, this time it was a five second check and dumped right back with the code 67 again. It's definitely not seeing the data information.

Plus it said "profile could not be updated - call customer service with code: 1012
[Hero CDMA General] riggsandroid:
I've received that before and it sort of fixed itself over the course of the day. Have you tried the Airplane mode on-off?

Could just be a Sprint thing, and not necessarily something on your end.
[Hero CDMA General] mslisaj:
I just tried toggling the airplane mode on and off and then on again and still the same problem...........

If I have to call Sprint, what software do I tell them I'm running?

I would hate to go back to 1.5 to get this worked on.........
[Hero CDMA General] riggsandroid:
Like I said, try waiting it out for a little bit. If Sprint asks tell them 2.1 (just don't mention its not the official one!)

:cool:
[Hero CDMA General] mslisaj:
Plus from all my reading don't do the new OTA update either.............

I hope running DC would prevent them from running something on my phone in the background. I really love my phone the way it is - when it's working of course... ;)
[Hero CDMA General] mslisaj:
How's this for weird gentlemen? I activated my wifi to just check the device as I have that in my home. The device worked fine and had internet access and did it's thing via wifi. I decided to do the "Update Profile in Settings->About Phone->System Updates" and it worked through that method. Apparently I just needed to up date my profile. The Hero is back working perfectly like it always has.

This was a scare for me as this Hero works so well on DC compared to the horror stories I have read about official stuff. But thank you guys a million for your help and I owe you all a beer..........

Thanks so much........

Lisa :D

[HD2 General] suzaku:
i've seen the voice recognition feature for the nexus one and it's really great and useful (especially when composing sms messages :D i almost drooled watching the video lol)

is there anyway to port or get it on the HD2? or are there any apps that can do it?
[HD2 General] suzaku:
isn't there anybody who can help with this :( ?
[HD2 General] ephestione:
you serious? :p

Probably the fact that nexus one runs a completely different operating system with also significantly different hardware slipped you :D
[HD2 General] steffen1337:
The speech-to-text feature is AWSOME imo, and I would also love to see it on such a great device as the HD2. The voice recognition on Google Maps acctually works pretty accurate on the HD2, so speech-to-text might be a possibility for this device!
[HD2 General] suzaku:
lol of course i know, i didn't really mean "porting it" i was saying so in a sarcastic way :D

but i was wondering if there was any method get it to work, or any 3rd party apps
[HD2 General] suzaku:
yea man i totally agree :)

i didn't really try the voice recognition in google maps, but if it's as u say it sure gives us hope to see such great feature on our HD2 :D
[HD2 General] jHats:
I read of a nexus ROM cooked for the HD2 with voice recognition but didn't download it at the time, now I can't find it again :(

If anyone knows of it, please share.
[HD2 General] tleaf100:
there was a program around a while ago (german,i think) that could do text to voice,cannot remember if it could do other way round,voice to text...
[EVO 4G General] Magus_doc:
I was really excited with this phone but somewhat disappointed, first and foremost the signal. I live less than .5 Miles from BB I checked with best buy tech as I’m new with sprint (was on att), he said signal is great and he has been with them for 5 year and he is very happy, I also went to the sprint coverage area and checked with them and seems as if my zip is in good coverage with lot of 3g, but my EVO has been rooming since yesterday, I drove on the main freeway of Cleveland and still rooming, but internet is fast while browsing, 3g lights up and I’m getting good speeds. So I’m assuming I’m under sprint 3g but not voice, that is strange as I drove nearly 30miles to downtown and still roaming:(

And what with light bled, is it this bad for everyone else

I also have a dead pixel :mad:

Should I exchange the devise for a new one? And dose it use my minutes if I’m roaming and call a mobile, as this would be unlimited if on sprint network not sure if this would be case wile roaming.

Please advice. Thanks
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
If worse comes to worse you have a 30 day grace period. Do you have another line on Sprint or is it just you? Is that person getting bad signal? It could have to do with the port. You can try calling Sprint with your Evo off and tell them to send you some signal updates to see if that corrects anything. Try that first and if not maybe you can get the device swapped.
[EVO 4G General] Magus_doc:
I fallowed your advice and called it in. The rep asked me to do a few updates like profile and prl. Now there seems to be no roaming,:) but still only 2 bars to none. She said she was going to call me back after 1/2 hour to check back. I hope this works out, I would really like to keep the phone.
[EVO 4G General] wmdunn:
I have been with Sprint for several years, and have learned that the number of bars doesn't always accurately reflect the signal strength. On my Diamond, I tried several different radios, and it was common for the bars to vary quite a bit. I wouldn't worry about it, as long as you're getting coverage, and reasonable data speeds.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
I can attest to this.

-------------------------------------

Sent via the XDA taptalk app from my EVO
[EVO 4G General] thecodemonk:
Ditto on the bars.

It took me a while to find the light bleed...the only place I see it is looking down at the extreme angle (as shown in your picture). It doesn't bother me so it may be more of a preference thing but the bleed appears only to be from the "buttons" on the bottom of the device.

The dead pixel thing...I guess I never noticed it after having a bunch of dust under my hero's screen for so long. You can try convincing the rep to get you a new one and keep going through the devices until you find one without the dead pixel but it may take you a while. I think I'd be more concerned if there were a plethora. :P
[EVO 4G General] Magus_doc:
I was at RadioShack close to my house talked to rep and he said he also has great coverage with sprint and the unit shouldn’t be roaming, so went back to best buy and man the signal is at max, i told the rep about my problem and he said his friend lives in my complex and he has no problem with sprint coverage, and asked me to give it some time as the network profile gets optimized or something, and I’m back home now, zero bars and incoming calls are all droping of, cant even talk.

ya i don't care much about the light and dead pixel just as long as i could get the phone to work.

I’ll give it couple of more days before i take it back for an exchange. Thanks for the feedback guys.

On a side note what resolution should the contact pic be? I have them at 256x256 and there all fuzzy.
[EVO 4G General] heygrl:
They really don't want you to return the phone and will tell you anything that makes even the slightest bit of sense. Even if his friend gets good reception, you're not getting the same.

Signals can degrade greatly inside of an apartment building.
[EVO 4G General] KyleK29:
As previously mentioned. Do you have a friend that has a Sprint phone? See if you can hook up at your place and compare coverage. If his works and yours doesn't, you may have got a lemon.

Signal strength tends to degrade really fast as you get away from the tower. We tried setting my Dad up with Clear Wireless (Sprint uses their network for 4G) for his house, according to the map it should work. Signal strength sucked, a neighbor a few hundred feet down the road (closer to the tower) had full power.
[EVO 4G General] flexte:
I may return mine becasue of a dead pixel. the store supervisor told me to call her Tuesday and she would set a unit aside. not sure if its worth it for just one.
[EVO 4G General] unknown_owner:
You haven't rooted you phone or anything right? Is GPS turned on or off? Are you set to use only 3g or are you set to use 4g?

I would save everything you can now and do a factory reset of the phone. If everything looks good, then start one by one adding your apps back and see if it might be an app that might be causing it.

Just need to do troubleshooting sets and start at the beginning as if you just took the phone out the box.
[EVO 4G General] danknee:
Call Sprint and explain your problem with the crap-tastic signal in your home. You may be able to get a free Airrave with waved monthly fees.

Several other users (from the XDA Hero forum) with your situation got this by speaking to a customer service rep.

http://shop.sprint.com/en/services/airave/
[EVO 4G General] Mecha2142:
It's very unlikely that they'll waive both the monthly fee and the cost of the Airave itself. I was in the exact same situation as him, I called up Sprint to explain the situation, and they suggested the Airave. One representative told me that he could waive both fees ONLY for customers that have been with Sprint for some time. Those who are still in the 30 day window of opportunity to cancel are screwed in terms of negotiating the Airave. I luckily got transferred to a very sympathetic manager who offered the device for free and only required that I pay the $5 monthly fee. He explained to me that new customers are not likely to get the whole deal for free considering they technically aren't locked in yet. I'm still in the first 30 days of service, and feel extremely lucky for getting a $99 equipment fee waived so early into the contract.

And yes, the Airave does work. It's as large as your typical Wi-fi router and uses your internet connection to turn itself into a small cell phone tower. The only downside is that the data is only transferred at 1X, but that's not important since you likely have a wi-fi connection set up anyway. If you do manage to get an Airave sent to you, make sure you install it near a window; it has a small GPS receiver that needs a strong outdoor signal in order for the entire device to function properly. The package also comes with a fairly long extender cable that lets you separate the GPS unit and place it closer to a window.
[EVO 4G General] danknee:
*edit* Guitarlp said it better below.
[EVO 4G General] guitarlp:
You called customer service... you need to call retentions.

I went through the same with when I first switched to Sprint. Talked to at least 8 different CSR's and none of them would give me an airwave for free and waive the monthly fee. So I called retentions (their cancellation department), told them I wanted to cancel since I had no service in my house and I wasn't allowed a free airwave, and the lady happily overnighted me an AirWave (while waving the monthly fee) as long as I would stick with Sprint.

Retentions will usually get you what you want. When you call them to cancel they're allowed to give you "perks" to stick with them. Normal CSR's are not... and since you're not calling to cancel they don't want to give you stuff for free.
[EVO 4G General] Jus10o:
I would say that was a very good deal. Since you are still in the 30days.

Most of the time, depending on who you talk to will offer something if you arent happy with your service. Specially if you were promised something (like good coverage). Its why I really like being with sprint. Iv had so many phones replaced or upgraded because something went wrong with the phone. Give sprint a chance im sure you wont regret it. Specially now that we have some really awesome smart phones, it was what held sprint back for so long.
[EVO 4G General] Mecha2142:
I didn't call customer service, I called a department that was probably somewhere higher in priority like retentions. I know this because a real life representative speaking perfect English through an excellent telephone connection answered within ten seconds of me dialing the number. Out of curiosity, did you go through this while Sprint had its 30 day trial period? The initiation of that sort of kills almost any chance of you getting a free Airave and service, since they aren't really losing anything by refunding the fees you've paid.
[EVO 4G General] guitarlp:
Like I said, you probably didn't talk to retentions. You called and were upgraded to a higher level CSR. When I called (and finally got what I wanted), I hit the option in the menu's to cancel service.

Yes, I was 5 days in on my 30 days when I got my free airwave. I told her I had perfect coverage with AT&T (I didn't... but they don't know that), and that if I don't get similar coverage I'd rather cancel and go back to AT&T.

If you call their cancellation department, tell them you want to cancel, and then explain you had better service with *whatever company*, and that when you tried getting a free airwave through customer service you were denied, they'll give you the free airwave and wave the monthly fee.

I've read a number of threads where people said they got it for free, and others said they had to pay. One thing was consistent in the ones saying they got it for free... they called retentions and asked to cancel service.

When you talk to someone who's goal is to keep you a customer when you're ready to cancel, they'll give it to you for free.
[EVO 4G General] Magus_doc:
No i have not rooted the phone, it's as is. I have been just trying to get a call out. For some odd reason i can’t get a signal past 1 bar. I checked with another sprint user in the same complex she said it’s the same with her 1 bar or none. This is not right as the sprint converge map shows good signal. Signal boosters seems like a good idea, so I’ll call and see if i could get one, but how about roaming, if it's on roaming will it use up my unlimited mobile to mobile minutes, if not than that’s not too bad.

So can I use one of those things you stick on a car to get better signal, will that work?

Thanks a lot guys you were all really helpful:), I wish this transition would have been simple. I gave up a lot, grandfathered unlimited data for 15 with at&t, they have perfect signal here.:o
[EVO 4G General] Magus_doc:
I fallowed your suggestion and called the retentions department, and she said I could have the AirRave unit for 49 no monthly charge, some “hmm I don’t know” (I’m not good at haggling :o) got it down to free but shipping and processing was 18, so all and all good deal. I just hope it works out well.
