[Touch Pro2 CDMA] daveymark:
I had this issue of the boot loop and was pouring over dozens of threads. THe phone would reset itself after the inital splash screen loaded. flashing stock rom didn't work, nor did flashing the radio or flashing from sd card. I bought a secondary charger and also another battery, but those did not solve anything. There were no bent contacts on the battery. What finally worked was this:

I plugged the phone into the wall outlet, and let it just continuously reset itself overnight. In the morning when I looked, the phone was on the windows welcome screen.

I have not seen this solution posted anywhere so I wanted to put one more option out there on the table for anyone else experiencing a similar issue.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] sharon972:
Hi,

Had the same problem today.

I have tried HARD-RESET, flash STOCK ROM from the SD, none helped.

Then I saw that one of the phone battery pins is in a strange position.

I have fixed it, put back the battery - and WALLA !!

Hope it will assist :-)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] quazimoto:
I am having the same continuous rebooting problem now after loading Task29.

I managed to load a new ROM on the device but it still continuously reboots.

I have checked the pins on the battery - they are fine.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] sharon972:
Hey Quazimoto,

Please check the pins on the HS which the battery will touch,

on my Raphael, one of the pins (of the handset itself) was bended to the side, when I have fix it, so it again touched the battery, all went good.

Cheers!

strange

well remove ur memorycard, flash a new rom or original rom.. dun put ur SD card back give it a try.. cuz sumtimes strange things do happens cuz of memory card
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] justin.fletcher:
So its just happened to me and what started it was to allow the battery to go low .. very low dead. before shutting down andriod and entering the reboot cycle to enter back into windows.

Charging on a USB PC connection continued the reboot cycling.

Charging on the mains socket stopped the cycling ... and once charged sufficiently (4omins) it now boots ok.

I won't let it run so low from now on.

Hi,

I just bought one of these off eBay (need that hardware 5 row keyboard). Switched it on and was merrily configuring wireless when it shut off. Yep - I should have plugged it into the mains before doing anything. But I didn't.

Now it sits there with the red light on (when plugged into the mains) but nothing happens. Yesterday it was looping; it would get to the Vodafone splash screen then shut off, give a little vibrate then do it again a couple of minutes later. I left it overnight and now it's just sat with the red light and ain't doing anything much.

Have tried hard reset several times (one time it got to the tri-colour screen with ROM info etc but I've not got back to that screen since!). To my knowledge it is stock Windows Mobile 6.1 Vodafone (UK). Is a RHOD100. Have done many searches on this forum and the Internet at large. In the absence of any other suggestions I think I'll try a new battery.

Any help very much appreciated!

Cheers,

Geoff

Hi ,

I had the same problem of Reset cycles after the battery in my Touch Pro2 was totally discharged.

The solution that worked for me was to take out the micro SD card and charge the TP2 through the main socket - this stopped the reset cycles.I left the battery to be charged overnight and in the morning I just had to plug out the device from the charger and perform Soft reset.

The TP2 was back to life without loss of data.

galaxy mini(rooted) rebooting please help
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] haongusa:
Solution

Hi,

The problem is caused by the phone booting while the phone is just on charge. The phone charge circuit shuts off in the first splash screen. The battery still has minimal charge so discharges fully, the phone shuts off and we start all over again.

So, repeatedly plugging in the charger and unplugging same before the phone starts - will work. You will be able to leave the charge on for an ever increasing time - starting at about 5 seconds. Repeat for approximately 10 minutes. Eventually the phone will remain on charge without starting up.

boots with no SIM or Memory card

OK, this actually work for my looping T-Mobile G2. Removing the SIM and Memory card boots the device and seems stable. So I was going to format the SD card, but I just put the SIM back in again with no mem card. Now it starts looping again. So tried and old SIM that T-Mobile had cloned to attempt another fix and it starting looping with that SIM. So removed that SIM, and again, with no SIM card the phone boots fine. So it has to be some hardware issue, maybe SIM contacts? Unclear

In the g1 forums. I found this cool new weather widget and am trying to figure out how to convert it to english. Any ideas or help.

The the page I got it from is here
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguythatdid:
kinda a bump also info.

even though this ****z in spanish (joke) I figured out how to change the color.

1) tap the widget

2) press menu when the new screen pops up

3) press the button that looks like a tshirt

4)press the middle button that shows up it will give you some color choices

5)select the color you want then press the middle button

Coolest weather widget ever

So I went from the T-Mobile Wing (HTC Herald) to the TP2.

The Wing can safely only be overclocked at a max of 299mghz and defaults at 201. So why does S2U2 go maybe 15 frames or more smoother on the crappy little Wing that has BARELY 64mb of RAM (23mb free on a fresh restart) than these phones that are twice as fast and have waay more RAM and way more potential?

Is it a driver issue for the graphics or what's going on?? I think it's just pitiful that I sometimes want to go back to that little QVGA screen just because of how smooth any type of graphics display on it. I would make a video example if I had a really good camera :p.

Even iContact goes maybe 17 or so frames faster and it NEVER stutters or lags EVER on my Wing :/... but, you guys know how "fast" it is on the TP2.

Does anyone have an older phone that's more fluid than the TP2 also? And why is the Wing "faster" in the sense of running those kinds of programs? (Sorry I don't know the exact terminology)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] apxi84:
im no expert

I'm no expert and i could be wrong but doesn't higher screen resolution require more video processing power. QVGA has less than one quarter of the pixels of WVGA and i think would be much easier to render. I could be wrong though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] buru898:
You know, that's what I believed too, but it's just sooo much more fluid... that could be why, but doesn't the TP2 have some kind of good GDI or OpenGL or whatever the hell that's far superior than the Wing?

If my wing had the same processor (believe me, even with it being such a smaller resolution, it's still damn slow) I would still be using it lol.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] redpoint73:
Yup, that's it right there. Its easy to have fluid video at low resolutions. In fact, scale down the resolution on your video player (Core has the ability, don't know about S2U2) and the framerates skyrocket. You only have to go from 25 frames/sec to 15 fps to make fluid looking video look choppy.

Heres your answer and your fix

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=546522
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] buru898:
Aahh aww... sad :(...

So there's no way to make it any "fluid"? I miss how S2U2 runs on my Wing lol and S2V.

Would an overclocker have any effect on the fluidity of it?
[General Topics] samalam:
I saw this App (NDriveUSA Maps) on Windows Marketplace. I am looking for one such software that I can use when I am on road, as I do not have data plan, and don't want to subscribe one. It is a paid version, and I was trying to see if anyone has an idea of how to achieve this for no cost, or if there is something similar to this out there ?

Also wanted to explore if one person pays and downloads it, can it be used to install on more than one HD2 phone, so as to share the cost?

Ideas and suggestions are welcome from experts out there.

Hi all,

Does anyone have MMS working on Myns warm donut (specifically o2)?

I find it confusing, it has automatically loaded 3 apns, how do I set one of them to be used as MMS?

Thanks,
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Dukenukemx:
I do, but then again I use T-Mobile. :p If you're going to use MMS, install Handcent SMS. It's way better at handing them, and I can actually attach videos to my messages.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] XCougar:
Handcent sms is a cool program, thanks for the rec.

You can assign what each apn does as there is a option for apn type, but I still cant download my o2 mms =(

How do you install themes on to the phone? Also i have seen their are certain widgets that required you to morps, what are they and how do you install them? Do you have to unlock the phone?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
perhaps you should go look over in the themes and morphs section? actually i think its called themes and apps, but that is where all the morphs are.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidTech:
Yeah i know, but im asking how do you install them, and what are morphs. If you can answer the question then you have no reason to be in this thread.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
yeah morphs change things like the status bar color, widget transparency, any type of visual changes to the OS. you use an app called metamorph in the market. and you have to be rooted.

now in the themes and morphs section, this info is in the first threads sticky at the top.
[Desire General] topcaser:
Hi,

automatic backlight is still too bright for me in almost any environment. I want to control the brightness of the screen by setting other values.

Is there an app or a hack to do this?
[Desire General] jannen:
Good question. Loved to know too!
[Desire General] @MARK:
Look under widgets and you will find one called

"Brightness"

I'll let you figure the rest out for yourself :rolleyes:
[Desire General] jauhari:
Try to using

Brightenes Level App
[Desire General] MasDroid:
I recommend "SwitchPro Widget", which is available from the Marketplace. It allows you to toggle the brightnees, even to levels lower than the automatic setting.
[Desire General] topcaser:
Hi, i dont want to change brightness manually, but want to change the default values which are used for automatic brightness. Is this possible?
[Desire General] topcaser:
Does no one knows??
[Desire General] Joshhudsy:
Hmmm would be handy!:p
[Desire General] poldie:
Perhaps you could put some tinted glass/plastic over the sensor, so the phone thinks it's darker than it actually is and doesn't make the screen as bright?
[Desire General] brianius:
good idea, but that's not the resolution, even in night it's very bright and for me even at manual 1% brightness it's a bit to bright for me...

would be awesome to have more possibilities to work with the amoled screen - by the way - for black it needs 0% energy ;) so better to read white letters on black background

edit: me using "Quick Settings" to handle brightness etc.

Dont want manually keep setting the brightness all the time.
[Desire General] ZigmaDK:
I just tried the app called Dimmer.

It is perfect.

Goes to a very low setting and then switches back to whatever you had before.

I have the same problem with my Desire that the Auto Brightness doesn't go all the way down and the HTC Denmark support basically just said meh. And said they would report it as a wish for future updates.
[Desire General] david_inuk:
This app is great! Thank you!

I have my phone on autobacklight, but I find that in dark settings its too bright!!

This app does what I want with a simple click! Shame however that there's no way to reduce the lowest brightness on auto setting built into the OS.

Swype has updated their page with the new beta instructions. It appears at this point to be a limited public beta, as it will only be available for a couple of days, and requires you to enter your email address to get the download.

What version is being pushed for the public beta?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] spidermonkeyrob:
I'll tell you as soon as it actually lets me download it. The site is laggy as hell and it has failed installing/activating several times now.

Most likely due to high volumes of people trying to install it.

I'd almost rather just wait and install it the less-than-legal way.

I stand corrected. Glad they opened the beta.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
see this is an honorable request and all... but it's kinda annoying when your site is down and lagged as hell due to volumes of requests. at least place the files somewhere else.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
1.0.7625 shown on installer, 1.56.30.7625.t100 for the actual app

good luck trying to get it through legit means
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] :
I signed up during the initial beta.

This is the version they pushed out to us last week. Thanks for the version number.:cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] watercool:
Ok, great, thanks swype.

First of all, i can understand that you do not want us to upload apks. When i did my "themed swype thread" i posted first that one word is enough and i kill the thread (what i did then immediately).

BUT:

All apk's have been deleted, and what we get now? The great Swype beta with only 3 languages and the standard keyboard which is useless for must of us, either because it has the wrong language included, or the servers are busy or we get the "this is not for your device" message. In addition, overruling the licencing method is easier than unlocking the bootload on the nexus one, so you really thought no one can do this or will do this?

We BEGGED for the opportunity to buy swype, but this is not possible cause you will do OEM distribution, i think cause you can earn much more money with f.e. Samsung than you will ever do at the market. You have a great funding (8 million $?) and you will never earn that amount on the market.

So what does this mean? We get our 3 month trial version free of charge and do not forget WE are the beta testers for FREE. If we would not test your software you would have to pay thousands of dollars for paid beta testers! So we are not only the one who want something from you, we do a lot for you too!

Here at XDA are the opinion leaders, here at xda are the most experienced users and here at xda are your future customers. So why didn't you post your 3 language .apk here, let us add dicitionarys, different tracers, new keyboard styles and come back after 3 month and see what we did? I am sure we can give great feedback which is worth ten thousands of dollars. There is already a Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, German, Polski, Russian, US English, UK English a.s.o version out there. Let use improve these versions or at least give us the opportunity to do a feedback on the other languages too.

I know, it is your product, you can do what you want with it, but please don't be so closed-minded and wonder why we do this "piracy" (is it piracy to use a program which you can't even buy?).

Why should be want to be part of your beta when there is a much better version out there? Why shall we give any feedback free of charge? Support US and we will gladly support YOU!
