[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] medved.m:
Hi all, I've searched the forum thoroughly but didn't find an answer:

Two months ago I was hit by the above problem, too - no USB (nor in bootloader) & discharge current from 190 (everything off) upto 400+ mAh. I tried to swap cables, PCs, ROMs (from Energy to stockROM, forth and back)... nothing helped... SERIAL only.

Of course I cant' get the orig SPL back so sending to warranty repair isn't too probable (if I don't want to pay a new phone's price for just swapping the MB :mad:)

I hesitate to accept that it is a SW problem (that the NRGZ's ROM rewrited something or caused a HW fault). So, hasn't anybody found a solution? Isn't it possible somehow to revert the bootloader without USB?:confused: Or, could it be really a _faulty_USB_connector_ and I've got a bad luck simply??

Thanks, Michael
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
Take a magnifying glass and check the USB port. Some people have found that some of the pins get bent over. If so, you may be able to carefully bend it back straight. Having a bent pin might explain the power drain as well as no USB.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] freaknormel:
3 weeks ago, my usb wasnt working. I couldnt connect with pc, but charging worked.

I have sent the device to htc, and they replaced the motherboard..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] medved.m:
Yes you're probably right that that could be the best solution.

Nevertheless, in this case I can't revert the bootloader (SSPL) so I would have to pay the new MB (more than half a new TP2's price) :mad:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
You can't? There are instructions on the ROM burning forum for returning it to stock SPL.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hurdleman:
Hi, i think i have problem with my screen, it's not work anymore, so I decided to reflash device with official Rom. But it didn't work.

Moreover before windows system start for the first time ir requires to tap on screen to boot. So now I cannot use my TytnII at all.

Is it any options to boot it without tapping on screen?

Or just to flash with other ROM, but HARdspl is not installed so a bit afraid to brick my phone. please help
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Zd0s:
install hardspl (same procedure as flashing) and then install rom of your choise if it dosn't work have you done any of the following

dropped it in water

gone in the washing machine

etc.... stuff like that
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] papo:
why don't you get a new digitizer??? it's $10 for kaiser?? i've been changing them like underwear...every half a year.

what is it, what's asking you to click on screen? if it's just a welcome screen, put welcome.not file in root.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Zd0s:
hehehe funny expression 'changing them like underwear@

what do you only change your underwear 2 a year :eek::eek::eek::eek:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hurdleman:
hehe, i live in Lithuania, so price with shipping will be around 25$. I think this isn't very cheap. Finally got screen working, but after 30min of using again no respond to tapping, then again working fine, and after that again no. it's annoying. I think it's problem with digitizer? I haven't it dropped to water, it almost brand new
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Zd0s:
thats good you got it working

hope the problem doesn't happen again
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] papo:
if we assume the problem is harware, it would most likely by at one of two spots.

place, where the ribbon cable is soldered to lcd

or place where two piecies of digitiizer are connnected to each other.

might help if you check on the ribbon and glue a plastic tape all around the edge of digitizer, making it press little bit more on it

well, if that's hw probllem. but first you shoud try different rom. you can reflash without digitizer working. and check for pocket controller or similar if you want you can control pda from pc with it. there are two free and Pocket contr is trial.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ASCIIker:
if you just want to bypass the "tap here to use your device" message on the first boot up, search for "welcome.not".

create a blank file named "welcome.not" and place it in the root of your sd card and then power on the device for first boot up.

make sure it is a blank file. make sure it is named EXACTLY "welcome.not". if you are doing this with your windows pc, make sure you have turned off "hide file extensions of known file types". otherwise, the file might actually be named "welcome.not.txt" but might show as "welcome.not" on your pc.

search about it for more information.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hurdleman:
hi, have tried differnt rom, but problem still persist. screen is not working, but sometimes it starts working very well. but most of the time it not respond. when backlight goes out and touch screen it starts to light but can't touch any options on. So what can be the problem, only digitezer or whole screen?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] papo:
it was more probable it would be hw. but we need to eliminate all possibilities and reflash was easiest.

Still there is more things which could be the problem.

And there is no way to tell for sure what is it. :(

Did you say the pda is new? or digitizer?

And then you said when backlight goes off, digitizer will stop working, but still reacting on touch (to light the backlight) Is this right?

When will it stop / start working? Does it change if you press on body - case?

Does it change if you slide keyboard out or in?

There would be a short test each time pda/screen is powered, if digitizer fails in this test, it would be ignored till next test pass. Could this be your case?

digitizer could be broken on corner, or has bad contact inside

- You can test it, if you'll solder test wires on it and measure resistance, which should be around 500 ohms without touch and going down on each touch, can't go higher! test for both H & V

but the same reaction could be if ribbon cable connecting two parts of kaiser is broken (or connector on mobo side)

but if it's new it shouldn't.

and at last there could be problem on mobo. inside the controller chip or on it's connection, soldering. But not very probable.

It definitely looks like bad connection somewhere. You need to find out where, so you'll not buy digitizer if it's good or ribbon cable.

Put plastic tape around digitizer inside, as I wrote before, inspect ribbon cable and digitizer and it's connections. Try to locate event when it goes wrong.

If you'll not open it and check on these things, then maybe get a new part which will show bad, then I don't see how more we could help you.

You can use it without touch screen somehow or get a new phone.

Digitizer is US$8 with shipping to Lithuania. That's really cheap, even for us from central european countries.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/HTC-P4450-Ka...m&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5192adf317#shId

and ribbon cable have fair price too,

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
papo very informative :)

All i want to add is that it's easier to replace the whole screen with a digitizer already on as the digitizer is very hard to remove since glued to the glass more than likely will get wrecked and not able to replace new, whereas full kit wont cost a lot more and will be less stress just 4 screws on the back plate of Tilt "where sim door is".
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hurdleman:
Well, it is not new, i've bought it from one girl, but it's like brand new, no scratching at all, very good condition.

also, yesterday i checked all the connection inside it, but the problem persisted.

I think I have understood what kind off problem it is...when remove sim card it stars to work perfectly. When insert sim, it work some time very well. Then again screen start not to respond, any ideas?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] papo:
mm, I know some pretty good spells, but you need a magic wand to make them work. If you don't have any you need to:

tape the screen as I wrote before (half millimeter tape),

if no help, hardwire analog multimeter on digitizer and test it properly (while pda off and open) as I wrote before

tape bended paper across connector on mobo.

OR just get a new digitizer straight away. it's $8 and pretty good chance that it's the issue. it's maybe 50% chance but what I mean is:

You have $200 phone (now on market) let's assign it 200 points

It's working on 20% with digitizer broken, now you have 40 points

digitizer 8 points to add. With 50% chance to fix = 16 points to add

result: by adding 16 points you gain 160 (200 - 40) that's 10x gain = good risk
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hurdleman:
WTF with my screen? post photos. on the first my screen, on the second lcd screens which are beiing sold on ebay.

I decided to buy new digitizer, but when looked at my screen, it realized have completely different layout where digitizer is connecting to screen. Am i right? Is the digitizers which are sold on ebay will suit my screen?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] papo:
that's fine. they all work. They are not oem but works well. Maybe not so scratch resistive.

You may get the digitizer solo, but they will not include a special double side tape which goes around and is holding it together. You can make that tape, but it's pain as stylez said. A lot of cleaning the used old one, then cutting small strips of ds-tape. and you need to put a paper or something in between two layers of tape as you need a little space in between. And then soldering that ribbon. Better just get whole assembly.

==

I see you tried that tape, before you buy it, try the last thing. The place where digitizer is soldered to lcd modul.

On that piece you sent photo of, you need to open back cover.

check the picture:

1. peel off antistatic tape from connector, from up -> down

2. take cover off

3. there will be attachment of digitizer behind the cover, like on your second picture.

Check for good connection

AND

check if soldered pins could not be touching the back cover you took off

( i had this problem once)

put electric tape accross it a give it a try - that will isolate it from back cover & make a little pressure if bad connection

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marxx:
Dear Forum,

this is a little app I developed with the intention to make a bit money. Well my marketing qualities don't seem to be that good, so here it is as little free app for the world.

Triller 2010 is an app for Windows Mobile touchscreen devices. Basicly you can select the flag of your favorite team (follows any resolution) and as soon as you tap your touchscreen, you will hear a referee whistle.

Technically the app is written in C. You can select the language of the app (German / English). All settings are stored in the registry of your device so the app will know its settings at its next start. The power management of the display is turned off as long as the app runs and will be turned on again as soon as you close the app again. The reason for this is that would look quiet funny for the people around you if you would wave a black display in the air :-). All images in the app are BMP and the sound is WAV. That make the app a bit heavy, but hey, it's free. In the attached ZIP file you will find the CAB file for manual installation and for convenient installation with Active Sync, there is a Windows based installer.

At the start of the app you will see a nag screen, where I intended to place some advertising. As long as you have not selected any team the nag screen will stay. After first selection of a team the nag screen will disappear 5 sec. after starting the app.

The app can be rewritten to be used for any sports league, so if you are interested to bring this little app with your advertising to the world feel free to contact me.

I hope you will have fun with this little app and may the best team win.

Hup Holland hup :-)

marxx

[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
I'm wondering what app people would suggest for me as I've recently signed back up with FitnessFirst.

I want an app that will -

1) Monitor my weight, put it on a graph perhaps

2) Track my Gym usage. Maybe show some stats on how often I go and the time I spend there

That's all. I don't want suggestions on exercises, how to do things, I just want to input some data and have it give me some stats.

I have wondered about just using a new Google calendar and mark things on that, but I would miss out on graphs...

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] o4kareg:
Libra

any sheduler you like
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
Yeah, I have Libra, I just thought there might be something that did both these things for me.
[Android Apps and Games] o4kareg:
no, unfortunately. But it's a chance to contact the Libra's developer to ask them to add some extra functionality :)
[Android Apps and Games] o4kareg:
well, there's something: GymLog

But I'm not sure if it suits you, and it's not freeware.
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
In some ways this would be great, it looks like you can log how much weight you lift on each exercise. I wouldn't take my N1 in the Gym with me I don't think though, so maybe a bit too much info.

Apparently there is an ad supported version though.
[Android Apps and Games] dully79:
Give calorie counter a go, it's full of useful options including weight tracker and exercise diary.

Hope this helps:)
[Android Apps and Games] probeboyjl:
Seconded on the calorie counter. I was going to post the same thing. You can track your exercise times, weight and keep up with caloric intake as well.
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
I'm wondering now if I should just take my Nexus into the gym with me. It would be real useful to be able to monitor how much I'm lifting, so I could then use the Gym log...

I'll take a look at that and Calorie Counter. Tbh, I don't think I'd remember to log all the food I eat... but if it does the other things well, then that'd be good.
[EVO 4G Accessories] slavixtube:
Hello,

I'd like to connect my EVO to my desktop LCD monitor to watch video on bigger screen. Has anyone tried it yet? Anyone know of a micro HDMI (type D) to DVI cable or an adapter? thanks.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mrono:
you might be able to make your own... just get an DVI to HDMI cable and splice on a type D end to it, not sure if it will go backwards though...
[EVO 4G Accessories] slavixtube:
thanks, but I am interested in making sure I am going about the right way. I want make sure all the HDMI 1.4 features are supported in this solution and its fully compatible. Has anyone tried it yet?
[EVO 4G Accessories] phinnaeus:
Not really sure what HDMI 1.4 features you expect to get when your end connector is a DVI port. If you cant find a cable that goes from the Evo to DVI then you should be able to just go to HDMI then use an adapter to go to DVI. I used have my computer hooked up to my Home Theater via a DVI <> HDMI cable. Worked great, Full HD and all.
[EVO 4G Accessories] slavixtube:
thanks. I read there a bunch of new features in hdmi 1.4 and wanted to make sure I go with an optimal option. Seems like an hdmi cable and a DVI adapter is the way to go. This way I can connect to hdtv and lcd monitor.
[EVO 4G Accessories] phinnaeus:
Yes, its true that HDMI 1.4 is great and has a lot of new things, including 3D support. But keep in mind, this is a phone. It doesn't even output 1080p video, so you'll be fine with the adapter.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Sirchuk:
Yeah, it can only to 720p output to a monitor/TV.

Something else to consider, HDMI integrates video and audio over 1 connection. If you use a DVI converter, you will lose the audio. I don't know if the EVO will allow you to output the audio out via the headphone jack at the same time or not, but I very much doubt it. So in other words, by converting the signal, you're going to lose all the audio and kinda makes it useless.
[EVO 4G Accessories] slavixtube:
hmm.. well that sucks. any ideas on how to get around this problem?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Sirchuk:
Sure, you can get an HDMI to DVI With Audio converter..but then again, you might as well buy a new monitor with DVI inputs for the price..

hi all,

i am searching for a stock rooted rom.

so actually a stock rom, but a rooted one. because all the custom roms have problems in my opinion.

i just want a FULLY working stock rooted rom, but cant either find one.

So maybe someone can help me here?

Tnx

[G1 Android Development] mackster248:
Enomther's AOSP is your best bet. But that's a donut ROM. If you want Eclair, I would go with HTCClay's Superbad series.

Goodluck.

Tnx for your opinion. but HTCCLAY's Superbad series drained my battery quite fast. so i dont like that one.

For a senior member you should know your question doesn't belong in development section. Move to general or question section. Emonthers ASOP is your best best bet
[G1 Android Development] mackster248:
His recent one is wonderful for me. But I guess Enomther's official Donut would be the answer to your problem. Or you can try SuperCSDI as a donut ROM alternative.
[G1 Android Development] nickislauw:

[G1 Android Development] bbuchacher:
all the ROMS are not broken, you just fail
[G1 Android Development] nicknowsky:
he's right, and actually his Super D ROM has been the most stable ROM ever. I dont understand that comment, tell you the truth I dont like that comment. The only ROMS that have issues are the Hero and Legend ROMS, and they've come a long way.

Why ROOT your phone, if you want stock, stay stock. There is absolutely no need to waste your time and any Devs time with looking for a stock ROM. To speed things up and get this thread closed here Amon_RA RAv1.6.3 Donut ROM is really the only STOCK roote ROM there is. Nothing added, completely clean.
[G1 Android Development] crz6662:
"Why ROOT your phone, if you want stock, stay stock. There is absolutely no need to waste your time and any Devs time with looking for a stock ROM."

Actually, One main reason to root your phone - "Apps to SD"

If stock ROM had it, I believe many wouldn't feel the need to flash.

Lack of storage for installed apps is the only drawback I see to a stock ROM.

Why that particular feature was left off the G1 really boggles the mind.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
Stock

that and nandroid backup .. can't backup the stock ROM either .. right?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] digitalhater:
Hi Chefs!!!

I'm not sure if this is possible but, I'd really like to see that happen.

Can you port/cook a ROM that is the same or close to the one in HTC Pure?

I'm mainly interested in the UI which is great imo.

Can we at least ahve the People Interface? It looks soo much better than the People Tab we currently have on our ROMs.

What do you say?

Thanks!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] theredundant:
i reckon thats the old manila. i could be wrong tho...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] OrionBG:
Yes this is the OLD manila interface! It is no longer used!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] digitalhater:
Ok. I got that. But maybe somehow the People Tab can be ported to the new manila? It really looks better!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Dangerously:
Just a quick search and found this: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=159225&d=1235156015

The old HTC HD (aka Blackstone) had this tab you are looking for.

It might look better but it is not as quick to use. Just like the old e-mail tab with the envelope. You had to always open every message as you only could only read a few lines due to the envelope being in the way. With the people tab, you need to "flip" through until you found the right person or slide down on the right. Not very functional compared to the new tab. HTC is realizing that people want less "eye candy" for the every day items, more "eye candy" for the static items like weather, music, pictures, etc. A business man does not want to find his contact, he would rather tap and go.

Seeing that this people tab is not from the HD2 but from the Diamond and older devices, I would have asked there first.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mon_money:
Agree .. i even dont want to use old people tab in my Hd2.. current people tab is good with little mod for add as many people you want to.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] xborfi:
