[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] XERO_Racer:
ok soo i dropped my Tilt 2 from a standing point (which is about 5 and a half feet since im 5'9) with the phones keyboard open and screens tilted, whats funny is that no battery fell out or anything, it just shuts off, i had to turn it back on.

when i shaked the phone i heard a slight rattle and i reckon its from the Flex Cable from the LCD screen, the rattle stops when i have my Tilt 2s keyboard open, but when i tilt the screen i can hear it slightly...is that normal?

also what is going to aggravate me for the rest of the time im going to own this phone is that when im using the phone's software keyboard on portrait at say like a 15 degree angle i can hear taps which is quite annoying but if i hold it at a 45 degree angle it stops, i turned the phone to the side i notice a gap, not a big one and not really noticeable but id say its roughly .5mm thick, i push the screen down and the gap gets smaller, is normal as well?

plz let me know thnx a lot
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
short answer.... no.... not normal. You knocked something loose inside hence the rattle, WHICH you probably already knew :P The gap, also not normal. Well wait.. I should correct myself. This is all probably totally normal for people who have dropped their phone. You're lucky you didn't crack your screen or do more damage and the phone's still usable!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] XERO_Racer:
hmm, well i talked to one Tilt 2 owner and he said he has that rattle and he hasnt dropped it? :confused: but like i mentioned, the rattle must be coming from that Flex cable that goes between the motherboard and the LCD screen....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
No rattle and no gap on mine, but I've only had it 5 days. Give me time.:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bwnotredame06:
I have rattle too, but i think its the G-Sensor !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] XERO_Racer:
i did a couple of searches on PPC and some say its a normal thing especially in the tilted position? :confused: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=87452 at least im not the only one! i just have OCD xD

heres a video of the screen problem im having [YOUTUBE]<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BObBGt40hYg&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BObBGt40hYg&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>[/YOUTUBE]

but its not as worse as his but you guys get the point
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] XanderCorp:
I just dropped my phone yesterday with keyboard out and tilted and I got a similar problem to this. My screen only has a gap when I pull it up, which I wasn't able to do before, but the screen slide is now about 1 or 2 cm's to the left causing it not to line up with the keyboard slide. Somewhat aggravating, but totally unnoticable unless your holding the phone. I don't get any rattle though...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] XERO_Racer:
hmm

well if i were to dismantle the phone and repair the little bridge that goes across the back of the LCD screen would that solve the issue? because it seems when i push on it it seems to fill a gap but idk if thats what causing the whole screen and kb issue but im going to do it when i have the chance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mech_supernova:
I have a tilt and mines exacly like the one in the video with the vary small gap and the screen wobble, I always assumed it was normal, mine dosent rattle though
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] marmotabassriderx:
that little gap and the screen wobble.

it just because is got movable parts, look at the screen hinges if i can call them that.

its the reason i didnt want to get mine, ive always chose candy bar phones so i dont worry about that.

but i did get me a tilt 2 and have dropped it too, i also think my wobbly screen started after i dropped it, but ive had it a year, since it first came out. the only thing i hate reall bad about this phone it the lack of a headphone jack I HATE THAT WITH A PASSION.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yanzi:
Hi guys... I have couple questions and I'm totally frustrated because of them...

About spn-conf.xml:

I've examed every possible way to modify the file.. as author HTC Shawn Ku said:

<spnOverrides
numeric="MCC+MNC"
spn="SPN Name"/>

so I modify the file and it looks like following now:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<spnOverrides>
<spnOverride
numeric="46000" <!--chinese spn code-->
spn="Yanzi"/>
</spnOverrides>

I tried but did not work at all..

so I tried to delete tags <spnOverrides> and </spnOverrides>, or

<spnOverrides
numeric="46000" <!--chinese spn code-->
spn="Yanzi"/>

but they did not work at all...

So how can I modify the spn name?

About Framework-res.apk (from MoDaCo r3.1):

I want to modify framework-res.apk and I read a lot of posts talking about it.. However, I still do not know why every time after I flashed a modified framework-res.apk, my desire storage reduced 10mb-20mb.. right now only 30mb remains...

Also, when I use APKTool 1.3.1 to decompile and recompile immediately, the 2.7mb apk turned into 5.0mb... get bigger! That's weired...

[EVO 4G Accessories] The Chris:
It sure can!

[EVO 4G Accessories] Drewmungus:
I was also wondering about this. Does the cable work for the droid incredible work with a evo.

Heres a youtube with the incredible using the cable.

[EVO 4G Accessories] chinot66:
The droid incredible use mini usb and with the wirefly video, a htc act100 tv out cable. The Evo have micro-hdmi type D to hdmi. I not sure there a micro-hdmi to rca tv-out cable.
[EVO 4G Accessories] radar5:
The incredible has a micro-usb slot too, just like the Evo
[EVO 4G Accessories] streets1313:
anyone try the incredible cable out with an evo yet?
[EVO 4G Accessories] storino03:
not same connector.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Sirchuk:
It's a feature of the Incredible, not the EVO.

Besides, HDMI out better...lol

Yes, you can get a converter to go from Micro HDMI to HDMI to Composite, but they aren't cheap. The reason is that Composite is an analog signal and HDMI is digital. HDMI carries both high definition video and surround sound audio on a single line.

So, you're going to lose image quality and you're going to spend a fair amount of money (I believe) to convert the signal.

If you don't have a TV with an HDMI port, that would be what you need to work on, not changing the signal from the phone. All new devices use HDMI now, it's the standard.
[EVO 4G Accessories] gredenko:
evo RCA cable

I'm not sure if this thread has closed. I have a similar question. I had the touch pro and bought the factory wire that was usb to RCA (red, white, yellow). I have the evo now and need a similar wire. Reason being is i have my car navigation modified to accept a video source, but its input is the yellow RCA, not HDMI. Does anyone know if they will make a cable similar to the touch pro or if there is some kind of dongle or converter piece that can be used.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Accessories] amruthwo:
+1

i would like to do that with my evo too.

edit #1

actually, it want it to output google maps and pandora mainly, so maybe i'll have to wait for the final cyanogen rom and a hdmi to composite adapter...that doesn't sound like fun at all. Did we ever figure out if the micro-to-rca cable from the incredible even works for the evo? I would buy one just to find out...

google, here i come...

found one!

edit #2

this guy said he already bought the cable and "it doesn't fit in the evo's usb port". That doesn't really make any sense though, does it... Hmmmmm.

Maybe it does, i remember the port looked a little goofy on the droid inc. oh well, c'est la vie.

edit #3

man, i'm on fire today i guess. No one really cares probably, but here is the difference:
[EVO 4G Accessories] Dishe:
+ 1 for this.

The HDMI port is mostly useless for me. I use my video out on the TP2 for a screen in the car that my kids watch, or my projector (neither of which support HD).

One of the reasons I'm considering the EVO versus any other Android offering is because I actually use the TV out on my current phone, and most other phones don't offer this. But it appears that I'm no better off (buying a bulky composite converter is out of the question). This is soooo disappointing!

The incredible can do something the EVO can not?! tsk tsk...
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
lol come on now. My VCR has composite out, but that doesn't mean my blu-ray player should.

[Droid Incredible General] ejlax:

[Droid Incredible General] vilord:
You say your rom is deodexed... you're running a fully deodexed rom on DI? Did you build this yourself, or...?

I have some ideas for the news widget, but I'd like to see newsreader working first.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible General] redd12345:
I posted progress..

I posted progress on the same thread in the apps section. I rooted and pulled de-odexed files from an evo build and pushed them to the system/app/ directory, i then cleared the data in HTC Sense app and the widget and icon showed up. The problem is that they force close. You need 3 files

RSS.apk

NewsReader.apk

com.htc.NewsReaderWidget.apk

I don't think it will make any difference to use odex'd files. Usually it is better to have de-odex'd files to install. The files must be on /system/app/ directory in order to even show up and launch. I hope that a dev is able to take a better look at the androidmanifest.xml in the app or use logcat to see what the hell is going on.

If you want to write to the /system/app/ directory,

su

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

mv /sdcard/RSS.apk /system/app/RSS.apk

(etc...)

then applications-->manage-->HTC Sense -->clear data...

But again, FC's will occur until someone is able to look at the manifest and alter it. I looked at the MinSDK for this app and it is the same as the DInc, otherwise I would've changed that part with a Hex editor myself.

Hope someone is able to do this, we would all be one step closer to a smaller Evo, lol. (I really don't like holding a "kindle" to my ear anyways, lol!)

Red.
[Droid Incredible General] vilord:
what errors do you get that cause the force closures? (logcat from adb)

Updating the manifest files isn't hard, but requires resigning... did you need to resign the evo files after deodexing?
[Droid Incredible General] redd12345:
I didn't need to resign because the .apk files I pulled were from a build that was de-odex'd in the "Evo Android Development" Section. Root Explorer recognizes the files right away, but because they need to be system files, they can't be installed like other apps. I don't have a logcat because I really don't dev too much, but would be thrilled if others tried this.

[Hero CDMA General] Powers16:
So i have this crazy idea, Hopefully we can get something started here.

I just want to know if you have keyboard lag or not.

If you have keyboard lag please see if your serial number matches the ones listed in the poll and poll acording to the options given

e.g if your keyboard is S/N=HTO2SHF05245 B and it lags, then poll that option

if your serial is HT03GHF05302 JV002-00 D and it does not lag then poll that option.

This poll is for any keyboard any type it doesnt matter regardless if haptic feedback is on or off.

There is a total of 4 available options to choose from which should cover all the ground.

Hi Everyone

I feel like an idiot asking this question but how can what can I use to read the xml files that are in the apk files? Every time I double click on them and IE opens I get an error. I then downloaded an xml editor and when I tried to open it in there I also got an error.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Powers16:
Right click on the file, click open with and choose notepad to view its raw formating. if you want a cleaner look use word to view the XML file. Be careful not to save it in word though it can garble the file. you will just have to play with it to see what works for you.

IE definitely is not a good way to view and edit XML files.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brut.all:
XML files are compiled to binary form when app is built. This is why you can't open them.

AFAIK my apktool is only one tool, which decompiles XMLs fully and gives you possibility to compile them back. There is also AXMLPrinter tool, but it doesn't decompile all data and it's used mainly to help with hex editing, cause it can't compile file back.

smali/baksmali doesn't have anything to do with XML files.

You can also view and edit binary xml's in root explorer, as long as they haven't been hex edited. Skews up the formatting some how.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brut.all:
Hmm... how does this work? O_o Maybe they have written simple AXML reader and writer - not a big deal. But then why doesn't it work for hex edited files?

Pity that it's a paid app - I would try it and see, how this editing looks like.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danaff37:
Not sure, but stock apk's I can read the xml fine, edit it fine if I extract it, edit it fine after that as well, then I'll just use meta morph to push back in. xml edits without a computer. But every time I try to compare stock to a modded one from jschi, his have a messed up, warped look to the font and data is garbage characters.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VinceOB:
Thats because his are binary hex edits, not actual xml edits.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danaff37:
yah I know. That's what I'm saying, any hex edit to the file messes up root explorer's ability to read it. It's wierd, but I understand why it happens.

From what I'm reading, this means that the updater script from Rommanager doesn't release the mount on system after the first flash, because I can easily navigate to the directory after I receive this error and install it manually. I figure the way it works is after install it umounts.

Just as an FYI, if others are trying this, this is what I did to overcome. 1.Using clockwork recovery

2.mount SD

4. copy to /sdcard/update.zip

5. manually install ERE27toFRF50

6. let it boot

7. reboot into stock recovery

I don't know if I m the only to become crazy about that but I really hate the soft keyboard of my HD. I.e. when you tap on one key if stay like 1 sec on the letter and just when you remove you pass to the key next to this, the second will be pressed... So kind of "too much sensible".
