[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teddyonair:
thanks for the advise

yes i did...same thing happened, sometimes when i get signal, i cant seem to use data connection...cant even make phone calls...if im lucky i can make 1 out of 10 times..

i suspected the sim card problem, that's why i went to AT&T store for a replacement.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blauze:
Solved

I had the same problem, I also have the A8183

To solve it, I went fastboot mode with USB plugged.

then on Android SDK, I did :

./fastboot-mac enableqxdm 0

./fastboot-mac oem boot

just fastboot for pc

and the phone reboot, turn it off and insert your SIM.

I knew it was fix first boot because sdcard was now mountable.

Then SIM was recognized.

But then I have USB problem in recovery, I think I'll need to flash the misc partition.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
What you are describing is the fix for the usb brick issue. This is not the problem here.

To me this sounds like a faulty handset, as all the software fix options seem to have been done. I'm no expert though!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teddyonair:
what is fastboot-mac

im using windows xp with androidsdk tools

i have fastboot command...how do i type that?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teddyonair:
is it really? i got my hopes up for a second...i really wanna get this thing fixed... :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
You can give the commands a go, but I doubt they will help with this. Have a look at the threads on usb brick.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teddyonair:
tried the first command, it says "waiting for device"...no response from phone and command prompt at all

hey guys, keep the opinions coming...thanks in advance!

Try flashing to a different compatible radio version as the version you currently have may be causing the poor reception/signal strength issues.

i did tried 3 different radio...its not just signal being weak...kept on showing X and whenever i tried to use the data connection when H shows up, it will just stuck there when loading google.com in browser.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr1960:
Hmmmm - the rooting process does not affect the A8183 - cos that's what I've got and it works fine. Maybe try and flash the Telstra ROM? That's the one that would have come with the phone in the first place. Who knows, that might reset something? Probably a long shot but you sound desperate!

You can get that ROM in the ROM sticky in this topic.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teddyonair:
Now i have 0.80 bootloader it wont let me install the telstra rom since bootloader version being different (0.75)

any idea how i can override that?

After the rooting process when i first got the phone everything was working fine til two days ago :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr1960:
you could try this: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-com/310186/mcr-telstra-8183-mod-version-3-5/

I think that will work with 0.80 bootloader.

I guess it's not easy to take the device for repair as I'm tippin you got it through eBay or similar, and HTC in the US probably won't support the warranty.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoakimCarli:
I believe that i had sort of the same issue as you are describing, sometimes my 3G connection died, and there was nothing i could do too get it back, and it sometimes failed to make a connection when i tried to make calls with full coverage.

I don't know how i got the problem, because the phone has been fine since i rooted it 1 week ago.

I decided to go back to the latest radio update I had before I rooted, and now it works fine again.

I used 32.34.00.28U_4.05.00.30_2 from the stock HTC radios thread. (new users not able to post links)

Hope this solves your issue as well, I have an unbraded Desire A8181.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teddyonair:
im going to give the radio you mentioned a try...would u mind telling me where are you located and what network provider are you with?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teddyonair:
Tried that radio already now it shows signal but the behaviors are the same, feels like its trying to establish connection but got stuck on upload (not sure if thats the case since only the up arrow stay lit but not the other one)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manuvaidya:
@teddyonair: did u drop down ur mobile by any chance ??? might be some hardware disconnection inside is giving u this trouble i guess.... otherwise with so many software reflashing & modding,ur mobile should have been working by now....

u better get a professional help either from the htc or from someone who deals with htc repairs.... this is my sincere advice if u wish to listen to me.... hope u have not screwed up ur mobile.... might be a hardware problem... just try this once... ok ????
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teddyonair:
i've managed to unroot the phone with telstra shipped rom. phone has been acting the same way.

so im not sure if it's the hardware issue. anybody has experience how to send the phone back to Telstra Australia for repair?

thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shane2:
It sounds to me like you may have a faulty antenna in your phone
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teddyonair:
thanks for the advice! no, i've never dropped my phone otherwise i will have something to blame for sure..

im starting to think it's the hardware problem since i've basically tried all the software troubleshooting...even downgrade the bootloader to 0.75 and unroot with telstra shipped rom
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pratz007:
hey! same thing happened with me and tried all you did but got working not sure if it

will help you, i did all those stuff but no luck, so i removed the sim and put sim of some other carrier(like if u have tmobile then use at&t) and call using it and browse if possible, and put your sim card in some other mobile and again call some one and after 10 mins of standby switch the sim again, it worked for me, and i hope it works for you though its a easy stupid thing but try it, might work!!

just trying to help!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr1960:
Telstra don't do their own repairs - they use a company in Australia called Phonetec (www.phonetec.com.au). Maybe you could get in touch with them?

[G1 Android Development] Bombardier0:
Hi, I'm trying to root my g1, and have run across a problem. For whatever reason, i'm unable to access the bootloader when i try to power up my phone by pressing the usual combination of camera+power. The phone boots fine, and is running firmware 1.6 DMD64. I can access recovery mode by pressing home+power, but no bootloader. I have all the necessary files on my SD card to revert back to RC29, but without access to the bootloader is this impossible? Any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
You should be able to access it from ADB'ing your phone to the bootloader if im not mistaken. if i am mistaken, then yes it is impossible.
[G1 Android Development] Bombardier0:
Thank you. I'm pretty tech savvy, but android phones are new to me. Could you possibly explain the process of using ADB to access the bootloader?
[G1 Android Development] theartar:
Yes, doesn't adb reboot bootloader get you in?

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejjm:
we got our daughter the slide last Saturday. she transferred all her contacts in the slide and run her battery down so she can charge it fully before she really starts using it.

the weirdest thing was that when she turned it on, all her contacts were gone!:( after awhile, her contacts are slowly coming back one at a time:confused:

it's like a pc with a worm virus!!! after 6 hours from turning it on, only 8 out of 80 contacts she has inputted was back...

Any clues? Any advice or inputs would be much appreciated.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IndikuT:
Most of your contacts are synced with gmail (go to gmail.com, log in, and view your contacts)

They are slowly coming back because the phone is syncing with her gmail account.

PS - Editing / Adding / Deleting contacts on your gmail account via web is easier anyway. Auto Syncs too.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk8rbebop:
Go to your contacts list. Make sure you are on the far left icon at the bottom and hit menu. Select the View option. It is an Eye. From their you can see which contacts are selected to be visible and the total amount of each directory. It is likely that her phone is cross populating the visible list with the hidden one upon use.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squidbutt:
yeah the comming back part was odd for me

like people i havent had in my phone are there...

o i figured it out its syncing my contacts form tmo too
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejjm:
Hhhmmm... thanks guys... when I got home last night and asked her about that "weird" problem (for me though). She said " don't worry Dad, I got it figured out! Hahaha and I thought I was a techie with phones!:rolleyes:

Here is a splash screen I made for my myTouch because I saw one similar and then couldn't find it again.

Can anyone include HTC Sync or something useful as it in the new ROMs?

I can't use your fantastic roms because I can't sync my phone simply with outlook... I tried some other ways to do it (android-sync, gmail, ....) but if you use so often calendar and contacts they are not the best way!

Thanks! ;)

As has been stated before, no Sense = no HTC Sync. Since there are no Sense FroYo roms yet, the answer would be "no"

Okay I have a few ideas on getting this to work, none of which are that difficult. I'm writing up an app right now to try it out, I should have it ready within the next couple hours.

However, I do have a problem, I have no HDMI cable! So can someone who has one get into contact with me on Gmail.

Just send me an email and tell me you'd be happy to test and as long as you'll get with me on GTalk once I send the app to you to discuss whether it works or not and any issues you have.

I'll update this post with more info when I'm done.

EDIT: First alpha sent to my 3 testers. Waiting for a reply from them before more info.

[EVO 4G General] Geniusdog254:
Actually I haven't had anyone email me yet, so if you wanna hit me up so I have your GTalk for later feel free.

Also, just a little more info, this will probably KILL performance while it is running, since it'll be a loop constantly copying frames from buffer to buffer, but it will probably still be usable. I don't know yet.

Be prepared, it may kill your cat, blow up your house, and then take over the world, all while creating as much heat as a nuclear reactor. (Or it may just work :p)

[EVO 4G General] Geniusdog254:
Okay so the first release is an epic fail. It tries to copy the frame, but it doesn't ever end up over HDMI. Also it takes too long to copy the frame to get smooth video, I can copy ~ 3-5fps max, which is ridiculous. There has to be a better way. And I may have it. Uno momento

[EVO 4G General] Geniusdog254:
Wow... Some people get kinda cranky lol. Here's the rundown:

I'm out of ideas. I had 3 or 4 possible ways that I thought may work. None of them did. The problem is that it refuses to initiate the HDMI handshake without a videoview and to show a videoview on screen you can't do anything but display that activity.

The CM team is working on full HDMI out for CM6, but it's not there yet. It will come in time. Sorry I couldn't make it work

If you get this working, it would be amazing. I would buy it. Then I would have to buy a Slingbox and the Slingplayer app. :cool:
[EVO 4G General] Geniusdog254:
The CM team is way more gifted than me.. They are going to be doing it the smart way in the kernel. That was over my head, and though I can build one, I wouldn't know the changes to make. I'm just a Java guy, I know literally about 2 things about C :o

My way was just stealing a frame from the framebuffer of the LCD and sending it to HDMI 30 times per second. Two problems, one is that the LCD flashes off when I steal that frame, and since there is no video playing the HDCP handshake is never initiated so nothing goes to the HDTV. The second is that it SLAUGHTERS performance.

Any app can trigger HDMI. In fact its automatic for anything within a VideoView unless you specifically tell it not to. The problem is that a VV is required to initiated the DRM handshake with the TV, and if there's no content in it then it won't open a connection, but if there is content then you can't leave the app.
[EVO 4G General] zonyl:
I think he is asking about what the VideoView does to initialize the connection. It is likely that a simple command issued over the I2C bus to the SIL chip would enable it. As to what that command is, I have no idea. I am planning on trying to get X or mplayer to hookup to that FB device and see if it is just that simple. I tried to get it going last night with a loop image of debian, but loop doesnt appear to be enabled on CM. Im waiting on a second microsd card to use debian.img directly.

I got HDMI displaying a movie from within CM6 using mplayer! The resolution scaling and colorspace is a little goofy, but Im sure I can fix with some settings.

Ill post back later after I play a little more. ;)
[EVO 4G General] hdad2:
Was this playing on both the phone and hdmi at the same time?
[EVO 4G General] swagglifee:
Is mplayer in the market
[EVO 4G General] zonyl:
It was targeted only at the HDMI graphics adapter. I suppose you could target both but it would kill the android UI.

I got the color and resolution issues worked out. I tried getting X to display to the Hdmi but it is requiring virtual console support which is not enabled on the kernel I am using. Maybe someone could enable that on a cm kernel :)

I don't have a good solution to displaying the android ui though as fbdev is not my realm of expertise. I am working on a way to get vnc displaying out the hdmi adapter though which would be useful to me.

I have a video of the test that I will try to post if any one is curious.
[EVO 4G General] zonyl:
I was using the debian mplayer package. Unfortunately without the x86 codecs it is limited in what files it can play. Surprisingly enough it was able to handle the 720p h264 videos I recorded, with just software rendering & a great fps.
[EVO 4G General] stanglifemike:
Just in case you need/want more testers. I have an HDMI cable that I bought a month ago. HDMI out was a big selling point for me. I used it a LOT with my TP2 and my biggest complaint about the Evo is that HDMI doesnt show everything the phone is showing like my TP2 did. Thanks to everyone who is spending time on this!!!!!!!
[EVO 4G General] bradleyw801:
HDMI would be amazing. I think people are underestimating the value here. I agree with all the guys wanting to use WiiMote, and emulators. For anyone who says that the Snesoid emulator wouldn't look good, you can't be serious? It's a 16 bit game! It never looked that good in the first place!

I used my dad's vibrant with a video out cable just see how Mario Kart would look, and it looked great. HDMI would be even better.

Not only that, but Hulu using the hulu hack, AVI files using RockPlayer, presentations for work, connect to an HDMI monitor, and use bluetooth keyboard and mouse input for a pocket PC.

If Cyanogen, or anyone else for that matter gets this working, PM me, or send me the details, and I would gladly donate $50 to the dev.

If CM6 reaches either the 4g or HDMI milestone, I will be shelling out the money to them.
