ok, im not sure if I'm the only one with this problem, ive read similar touch screen issues reported but not this one; when I hit my power/end red button my start screen (with all the icons, not the today screen) pops up. its getting annoying and I was wondering if anyone else experienced this too? any help guys?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sopdogg:
Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a keypad/keyboard for the X1 and was wondering where I can get one. I've searched online but only could find sellers on ebay. My T & Y buttons are cracked so I want to get a replacement. Any suggestions where I can find one other than on ebay?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 22vlaja:
buy new x1,
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sopdogg:
Wow...seriously? Buy a new X1? How about you give me yours and you buy a new X1? Sound good, cool. PM me and we can set it up.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truelied:
me too, i broke the space key. other keys were lost the characters. Find on eBay, it's terrible expensive ($15 for a keypad)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonny4911:
i woulda thought $15 was actually quite cheap :/

also ebay is really the only place

there's also here but thats only the PCB and not the keys, and is horribly expensive, although if you ever want to replace your housing, get it from there, because practically all the ebay housing are fake, i found out the hard way >.<
[HD2 General] danxtian:
i'm currently using stock t-mo_US rom 2.10 and the 2.12 radio.

so far, i get the best signal, it is stable on 3g no changing to edge or lower[before it drops a lot]. btw before, i was using 2.13 rom and 2.10 radio.

The weather on my phone is showing that I am in New York, when in Fact I am in Massachusetts. I have removed all locations and have the location service turned on. What am I missing here?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
I don't think you're doing anything wrong -- sometimes My Location just gets confused by the answer it gets (from cell-tower triangulation).

I don't know the explanation...but I sometimes get way-off wacky results from My Location Weather, too. In certain places in eastern Oregon, My Location says I'm Anchorage, Alaska -- about 1700 miles off!

Usually it works correctly, though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
Its always ALWAYS helpfull if you post what it is you are running on your phone (stock or custom rom). radio, carrier etc etc so we can actually help you.

Do you even have a version of of sense (manila whatever you want to call it) that has location based weather? The newest versions of sense 2.1 and 2.5 have them but the older stock versions don't, thats why I ask.

Pretty easy to tell. When you are on your home screen do you have the current weather icon under your clock with the location and temperature? I'm sure you've seen this before if not just look up a sense 2.5 picture and you'll see what I'm talking about. With all of the cities taken away in your weather tab do you have something on the screen that says "my location"? If you don't then you don't have a rom that has the ability to show your current locations weather. If you do and its not updating go into your settings and see when you have it set to update? It may not even be checked and that may be your issue. Check it and set it to update however often you'd like.

If none of that helps then I have NO idea :P

Good luck!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Mustard:
For the past few months I've been flashing separate Energy Roms onto my tilt 2. I finally found one that I liked and stuck with it for the past few weeks, which was the Dinik Glass Energy rom.

Everything was running great until last night when I was watching a video on You tube and everything froze up. I pulled the battery out and turned the phone back on and now it keeps going to the boot loader screen....

I've tried re flashing different roms to see if that would work but I've gotten nothing out of it.

If anyone could let me know of anything that i could possibly do to try and fix this I would be highly appreciative of it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sagarc88:
I dont know what may have caused the problem :confused: but in your situation i would have tried to do task29, flash radio and then flash a new ROM. this is normally how i flash my roms but task29 may remove somethin that may be causing the problem. if you have already done so, sorry for wasting 5 secs of your life :D ... let me know if it worked
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Mustard:
Can you show me where I can dl task 29 at?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] menchaca:
I had the same thing happen to my tilt2 last week!

Use task 29,

dont freak out when it only shows the screen that says touch pro 2.

Enter into bootloader and run ruu from there, it will fix everything.

Dont flash with sd card in or it will happen again.

I had to clear my sd card and reload it! good luck.

one more thing after task 29 do not disconnect from usb until you load next rom, that is what worked for me best.

hope it helps
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Mustard:
I used the RUU and i tried reloading the ROM but it still starts in boot loader screen every time.

Should I just hit the hard reset?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] acardinale:
you have nothing to loose by a hard reset at this point ... IF that works.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Mustard:
If I hard reset it will I have to flash a hard spl again?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] forster:
Ok i noticed that yoy are pritty confused about the terminolog, so here is some help:

1. Task 29 - delets your rom of the phone so your phone become practicly unuseble.

2. HardSpl - "Unocks" (allowes) the phone for flashing custom made roms - i.e. all roms and ro preform Task 29.

3. Hard rest - reinstalls allready flashed rom.

4. Soft reset restart the phone - on/of

5. BOOTLOADER - allowes you to flash without activesync and from Sd card.

When any problem turns on with phene i usually check to see if there is any connection running. I discovered that too much internet over phone makes a phone buggy dissregarding the rom.

You dont have to hardspl phone again, once you did is enough.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Mustard:
Okay well here is the problem then... every time I turn the phone on it goes straight to bootloader. The only button I press to turn the phone on is the main power button. I've ran the custom RUU twice now. I've tried flashing a new rom onto the phone via sd card but it still turns on in bootloader mode. I'm nearly freaking out now because I'm led to believe I've got a bricked piece of $hit.

I hate sounding like a noob but if there is some way someone could run a step by step process to me that works I might through some $$ via pay pal.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gabmurillo:
I had the same problem with a phone about a month ago. I was able to flash the stock rom and it would boot up then put on the stock SPL and relock the phone. Sometimes I was able to take the battery out and get it to boot but even with the stock ROM I was getting the bootloader at startup. So once I reloaded the stock ROM and relocked it, I returned it and got a replacement.

Sorry, nothing I did every resolved the problem.

good luck.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] undefined:
I agree with taking everything back to stock

flash stock rom

do a spl relock

and start over...

oh, and dont forget about radios! idk if that could be part of the problem tho
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Mustard:
I never changed the radio's so I should be good to go then, just the stock rom?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] shadixs:
Try this :

- Enter bootloader

- Connect USB cable so "serial" in the bootloader changed to "USB"

- Perform Task29

- Reset

- If the phone enters bootloader skip this step. If not, hold volume down key while resetting (push the reset switch with stylus). The phone will enter bootloader.

- Flash a stock ROM. Download it from HTC website if you don't have one.

- Reboot.

Ow, the stock ROM also contains Radio. So Flashing with stock ROM will flash your radio also.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Mustard:
When you returned your phone and got a replacement was your phone starting in boot loader?

If so how did the workers at the ATT store react to that so I know what to expect?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Mustard:
How would you recommend that I flash the stock ROM back on?

I'm kind of confused because I've always flashed with my SD card, how do I do it through my USB? Could you give me a step by step?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] shadixs:
Well, those steps I wrote are basically "step-by-step how to flash from usb".

Allow me to clear it:

- Enter bootloader -> Hold volume down button while pushing the reset switch

- Connect USB cable to your computer. and wait until the "serial" word in the bootloader changed to "USB"

- Perform Task29, download task29 and unzip it. run ROMUpdateUtility.exe. Follow the instruction.

- Reset/reboot. well, the phone will reboot itself after task29 is completed

- If the phone enters bootloader skip this step. If not, hold volume down key while resetting (push the reset switch with stylus). The phone will enter bootloader. Connect the usb cable again to your computer (if you disconnect it.) and wait until the word "serial" changed to "usb" again.

- Flash a stock ROM. Download it from HTC website if you don't have one. Just run the exe file you downloaded and follow the wizard.

- Reboot.

I reccomend you to flash with stock ROM because Stock ROMs are "Guaranteed to work(at least by HTC :P)" and contains radio that may be the cause of your problem. there's no need to flash to stock SPL, yet.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] wspaw:
I was stuck in bootloader...

You can find task 29 here. I always do this before flashing.

After task 29, make sure USB is still plugged in and enter bootloader by holding Volume Down key while hitting the reset button. You should see USB on the bottom of the bootloader screen.

Now you should be able to flash the NRG ROM by running the RUU in the same folder as your ROM (rhodium.nbh file).

If this doesn't help, search the entire forum for "stuck in bootloader." I did this and it saved me the hassle of the warranty process.

Before

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gabmurillo:
I was able to get it to boot to the ROM by removing the battery several times and reinserting, powering on until it boot. I am on TMobile and called them and they sent me a new phone and returned the old through the mail after expalining the problem. So never went into the store.

good luck.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] saidean:
My friend owns a HD Mini and found the volume of the ringer too soft. I found this information elsewhere and was wondering if anyone has successfully tried this and it works?

It's from Montecristoff (who created HD Tweaks I think).. Argh, I can't post the link here. But if you google for xda "phone volume problem solved" and look for message #108, the cabs are there.

If anyone found this works on the hd mini, let me know and i'll try to get it installed on her machine...
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] Elijah12:
I have - it doesn't work (reduced volume on my phone completely)

If you sort it out, please update as I'm interesting in increasing ring volume as well.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] wimdows:
Works fine here.

The controls could be a bit more user friendly and more up to date, but soundwise it works wonders - at least on the headphones, it doesn´t do much for the internal speaker (not the best feature on the mini anyways).
[Desire General] .:george:.:
Hi guys,

I've managed to accidentaly scratch the back cover of my Desire right at the area of camera lens which causes my photographs to be very blurry and lacking of detail.

Since this is problem only on my back cover, I though I'd buy the new cover, but unfortunately I can't find any on the internet.

Do any of you happen to know where to buy these parts or would be someone willing to send me their back cover from for example broken Desires? If someone is doing a return, I could also swap mine back cover for theirs, I'd pay every postage of course and all.

Thank you very much and sorry for my English...
[Desire General] .Hodgy.:
if you find no one to swap/sell them theirs then go to the official htc accessory shop to get one, quite expensive though

http://www.htcaccessorystore.com
[Desire General] hanhav:
Go to official HTC webpage, there is an accessory store and they sell backcovers for £15.99.
[Desire General] .:george:.:
Thanks for the reply, I just found that link a minute ago (was searching for "back cover" instead of "battery cover" all the time), 20 € for product plus 10€for shipping seems a bit too much...

I'll just wait a day or two to see if I actually find someone to sell me theirs, then I'll buy the new one...

Yeah, the Dev's will integrate it into their ROM's or supply a patch that doesn't break root. Right now if you install OTA it'll break root.

alright, thank you very much.

It does break root for the Unrevoked method.

Oh, and for those of you who updated: we'll see if we can RUU you back down. Stay tuned.

unrevoked

We hope to release a patched OTA tonight for #evo4g that allows you to preserve your root and still get all the benefits of the OTA.

unrevoked

Looks like @HTC might have closed our root hole. You'd think think they'd have released the EVO GPL source first. #copyrightinfringment
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tecmu:
What is the point of this update? Did sprint fix anything that would make it worth updating? The new radio might have some benefits but that can flashed separately and not effect my rom or root status.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rutter9:
it fixed the grounded screen issue and made the phone more peppy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saturn2K:
First link says, "Sprint and HTC this morning released the expected software update for the Evo 4G. Said to be improved in Version 1.47.651.1 are Wifi signal strength reporting, improvements to the Exchange ActiveSync security policies, and network improvements to address battery life."

It doesn't say anything about grounding issues. But they don't always report everything they fix. We'll just have to see if it gets fixed for everyone who updates.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyecon82:
I have a few questions

1. Is it best to wait for a ROM with the OTA built in? or do we flash a zip file not re-doing the ROM?

2. If we flash the zip instead of waiting for a ROM.....will these changes stay permanent? For example, if we flash a new ROM in the future, will it undo the OTA stuff?

Thank you

Io voglio installare la rom htc, ma il telefono si accende ma non si avvio.

Come posso fare?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
what phone do you have? normal hd2 or tmous?

if it is normal hd2,

flash the correct radio mentioned in the artemis thread.

boot to bootloader

flash radio

restart

(did you hard reset after flashing? you should)

if it is tmous then it will not work with this rom, and the radio mentioned in the artemis thread will break the phone.

[Hero CDMA General] cweezyf:
I would like to know if it is possible to sell this phone, in a working condition to someone else. Or is this phone forever tied to me? I currently have this phone and one on another carrier which is much cheaper and cannot afford the hero ATM :(
[Hero CDMA General] subcypher:
Did you sign a contract? If so, you should talk to Sprint about that. We aren't contract lawyers. ;)
[Hero CDMA General] cweezyf:
Well i didnt actually SIGN anything.. haha but yes I am under contract, I have left carriers before while under contract, with no problems though.

But my question remains the same, if the phone IS tied to me, because of contract or other reasons, is there a way to revert it to a new-like state in which someone could purchase and use the phone? This IS a hacking website after all. :p
[Hero CDMA General] subcypher:
Have you rooted it? If so, you should probably RUU unless they actually WANT the rooted phone. Other than that, you should simply need to format the SD card and do a factory wipe of the phone data. That would return the phone to a factory state.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Well, if you have this phone flashed to another carrier, you'll need to get it all setup back to Sprint before someone else can take it over. But chances are as long as you didn't clone the ESN or something illegal. You can sell it off just fine.

Best bet is to call Sprint and have them check the ESN before you sell it. They can look it up and make sure it can be activated. If there is an unpaid bill on the ESN or if it was ever reported stolen, they will not activate it.
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
The phone is NOT tied to you once you've been released from your account obligation. People sell their CDMA phones all the time. This isn't a problem
[Hero CDMA General] cweezyf:
okay, But if i sold it and DIDNT tell sprint, and just stopped paying the bill could it still be activated? BTW it is not flashed to use another carrier. But It would nice if i could unlock it to open up the possibilty of an international sale.
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
It can't be sold internationally because USA is the only country with CDMA.
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
Nope a phone has to have a clean ESN to be put on another account. A bad ESN means phone came from an account which still has a balance or was stolen.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
You don't even really have to tell sprint, if you activate another phone on the account and remove the Hero... But something has to be active on the account in its place - They pretty much hold the phone hostage until you have paid them. :)
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
You can stop paying and sell the phone. Its not a problem. Unless someone reports the phone stolen then it will get a bad ESN number. If you just simply sell it or give it to someone else, it will work perfectly fine.
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
Ummm no. Have you ever registered a phone that came from an account that still had a balance on it? It won't work
[Hero CDMA General] cweezyf:
Arrgggh so im getting conflicting answers here. Thats okay though. It makes alot of sense that you wouldnt be able to sell your phone until your balance is paid/ different phone switched to same account.

So ill ask this; is there a way to clean/reset your ESN? That would be ideal.

I've also heard the idea of selling the phone for "parts", but that sounds less appealing because im sure nobody is in the market for a "parts" Hero. Unless someone has knowledge of the contrary.
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
try selling the phone and transferring the account to someone else at the same time, just go with them to a sprint store. I THINK that can be done.

As for changing the ESN you won't find help for that here as it's illegal.
[XPERIA X10 General] sushi143:
Does anyone know where through antenna on the x10i is located, I took my phone apart after attempting to change housing but failed.... lol now I get some ccrappy signal reception that drops on and off
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
I am a little disappointed that changing the housing turns out to be so risky and difficult. :-(

There was a special offer when I bought my X10 (-150 euros) for the black one, so I bought the black.

But now I feel a tad jealous of the lustrous white...

DealExtreme has a full white housing for about 28 dollars, but after reading reports about users who failed to change the cover, I am hesitant.

As far as your problem is concerned, there is a thread around here that has detailed instructions about disassembling the phone (can't find the link, as I'm posting from the phone) and there you can see exactly where the antenna is. I hope everything turns out OK for your phone, let up know! :-)
