Yes I miss iconsoft as well. I had it on my touch HD and loved it. The stock dialer on samsung is like a joke. Its pretty amateurish.

For full screen caller id search it in the market. There is an app which does that. I use it and like it a lot. Its a paid app by the way ~3.99$

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HEARTBREAKER123:
Hi everybody,

I was trying to load the cyanogen mod to my G1

Had Android 1.6 and Radio 2.22.23.02

I downgraded to RC29 successfully

Rooted my phone

Loaded recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img. Flashed successfully

Then started following instructions below:

wiki . cyanogenmod / index.php / DangerSPL_and_CM_5_for_Dream

I got stuck in step 6

It is probably because downgrading to RC29 also downgraded my radio version. I did not check the radio version again after I downgraded

Using danger.spl bricked the phone

I searched online and found some solutions with JTAG, but I am in Turkey and do not have access to purchasing these from ebay or the know-how to apply them (as you can tell from my mistake above!)

1) I found the below solution, but not sure if it will work:

code . google / p / android-roms / wiki / Unbrick

They say it will only work if you have soft-bricked your G1. I'm not sure

2) Others say I need to call T-mobile Customer care (where I purchased the phne from), but that was about a year and a half ago. How long is the warranty on the G1? 1 year or 2 years?

3) And yet others say use it paper-weight

Should I go for option 3?

What do you think?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HEARTBREAKER123:
Please help!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
YOU FAILED.

If you don't take the time to read and learn what you are doing, why should anyone take the time to help you?

WHY would you EVER install RC29? IDIOTIC MOVE!

WHY would you EVER install deathSPL? IDIOTIC MOVE!

I say you deserve what you got.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HEARTBREAKER123:
I was just following the Wiki instructions ( Full Update Guide - G1/Dream Firmware to CyanogenMod ) here:

My radio before downgrading was 2.x, so I assumed it would still be the same after the RC29 downgrade, but it turns out the downgrade also dongrades the radio to 1.x

therefore death spl bricked the phone

I should have checked the radio version for a 2nd time before flashing death spl

Is there any way to fix this now??
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
You did not follow the instructions.

You deliberately skipped step one on the danger spl instructions. Put there so that those who didn't realize the radio had become downgraded didn't do what you just did. You also ignored the warnings on that page that rc29 installs the 1.x radio.

What part of not having the right radio will brick your device wasn't understood..

by all means hope your recovery is messed up and that you have access to fastboot when you attatch a USB wire.

Otherwise there is jtag. .. bit more complex than flash spl-signed.zip after being 100% sure a 2.x radio is installed however..

Another option is replace it.. some have found replacing the main board + daughter board of a working phone in bad cosmetic shape (screen cracked) a cheap alternative here than a brand new dream. Still requires reading the service manual to properly disassemble what you need without having a bit of a mess.. particularly if you skip a step.

My recommended solution is to find a phone you can deal with stock firmware buy it and sell the rest of your dream as is.. you want root you need to understand the instructions not just follow them.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolemnWishing:
Alright, well I think he got the point - he should have followed instruction better

I'll keep it as straight forward as possible, no there is not a way you can unbrick your phone without the JTAG tools. T-Mobile's warranty is only one year, afterwards they will not replace your device for any reason.

The soft brick solution you posted will not work, because you have a hard brick.

I believe you only have a couple of solutions.

a) Get a new G1

b) Buy an old G1, preferably one with a broken screen so its cheaper, and place the motherboard of that G1 into your current one

c) Work with some members of XDA and see if you can work out an arrangement to get you the JTAG tools, though this is unlikely to work and difficult to do.

I'm sorry that you have broken your G1, it's a terrible feeling to break your phone in this way where everything is physically still perfect. I believe your best bets are probably solution "a" or "b", you can shop around locally and see if you can find anything

Best of luck.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HEARTBREAKER123:
Thanks for the help.

I think I will try and get another G1 to see if I can replace the motherboards
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
You know, if you're going to all the trouble of taking it apart and planning on essentially throwing the mainboard in the trash anyways, what do you really have to lose in attempting to jtag the thing? $2 worth of components and a couple hours of your time? Worst that happens is you fry it, in which case you were planning on trashing it anyway.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolemnWishing:
Like the OP said, he lives in Turkey and is unable to purchase these items on eBay.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Turkey is NOT a back-woods country and there ARE LOTS of sources besides ebay. In fact, ebay is the LAST place you should look for electronic components.

I GUARANTEE that the required components can be purchased in STORES all over the place in Turkey.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] racerxgt:
$2? I thought Jtag cost like 70 bucks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HEARTBREAKER123:
Okay, I have good news and bad news

THe good news is that I was able to find someone with a jtag adapter and he fixed the phone for me for $50

Being more careful this time, I went through the wiki steps and installed CM 5.0.8 and gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed

Yaay!

But then I noticed that CM6 was out, and that it had flash, so why wait, right?

I flashed CM6 with no problems, rebooted the phone, logged in, everything seemed OK, except that I didn't have google apps

So I flashed gapps-mdpi-FRF91-signed.zip and... I wasn't able to log on to google!

You know the menu that asks you to sign in to your google account at the beginning

It says "touch the android to begin"... And when I touched the android, it wouldn't ask for my username and password.. Right click would go into 'Wireless Settings', and I was able to successfully define an APN and get a 3G connection, however, even after all that, and when the phone had reception,

touching the android would make the android change color, but it wouldn't let me go to the next step!

So I decided to flash the previous google apps

Now the phone does not boot in normal mode

I can access the bootloader and the fastboot menu (both Camera+Power and Home+Power work fine), but I am not sure how to fix the problem I have

I tried downgrading to Android 1.5 and starting over, but when I go into the bootloader menu, I see 3 androids with skateboards and the following options:

CAMERA_STEP2 : Hboot mode

SEND: Reset device (Doesn't reset, it just reboots when you try)

ACTION: Restart to hboot

MENU: Power down

And when you are in hboot mode, you can't click anything

How can I revert to CM 5.0.8??

Also, is it normal for the new gapps to cause this type of an error?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HEARTBREAKER123:
Don't facepalm just yet :D

I managed to go back to 5.0.8 after doing everything from scratch :)

[Touch 3G General] kaice:
Hello, I've been reading these forums now for a while to find a solution but couldn't find anything.

The problem started in the beginning when I didn't write down my SPL version. So what I think what happened is that there was a 2.xx version on it.

Installed Jade-HardSPL_V5_20R3_232HSPL

Reverted back to stock version 1.4

The problem I'm having now is that when I startup my Touch 3G it's REALLY SLOW. And I need to know how I can put the version 2.3 back on it.

Because when I connect it with activesync and I try to install the 2.3 or the Jade-HardSPL_V5_20R3_232HSPL my HTC goes in 3 colour screen and then the screen changes white with a loading bar. But it stays in loading and doesn't load anything.

Who can help me please? :D
[Touch 3G General] haree:
hi

ask this question in the HSPL thread some one might help u

to my knowledge if u have done ur HSPL u should be able to flash any rom u want so try flashing any other stock rom which suits u and may be ur problem will get solved

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somekiwiguy:
Hey everyone,

Like most of us, I have contacts in lots of places, and I would be happier if I could have them in one place. Google Contacts I think is the most appropriate tool for syncing contacts (not just with phone / Gmail) but with other places too.

It is rather straightforward how to sync Google Contacts with a TD2, but I really hate that when it does sync, it puts contacts in as Lastname,Firstname.

I was suggested that I use Contacts Changer (a Marketplace available app), but because contacts sync with ActiveSync, it keeps re-syncing and putting them back to the Lastname,Firstname format.

Does anyone know a solution to this? Anyone know how to make it show up in the contacts list as Firstname,Lastname? Permanently??

(Note: I considered putting contacts in using only the 'First Name:' field, but then that has downsides too. Sorry if I'm being fussy now :P)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cosmico46:
Mate...I had to edit my 200contacts one by one on Google Contacts...and write them like:

That was the only way so that they would be properly shown in mu HTC D2...

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jprosper:
We recently purchased a Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 phone from Ebay. I accessed the Bootloader mode to see if the device was locked and now the device is in a constant reboot loop. We have tried a soft and hard reset and now the device will get to the Windows loading screen and then reboot all over again.

I can enter Bootloader mode without any problem. I have searched through the forums and found the procedures for flashing the ROM in bootloader mode but the problem still persists. The flashing shows 100% complete and the device reboots, but then it goes right back in to the reboot loop. I have to remove the battery for several minutes to get the device to shut off completely.

Can anyone provide some guidance on how we can get this fixed? Do I need to unlock the device before flashing the ROM? Can someone provide me with the links to the downloads I need?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Stock Rom

Thank you for your reply, but I have forced into Bootloader and flashed the stock ROM several times but the reboot loop continues. I have also tried flashing the stock ROM from the SD card. Flashing the ROM using either method appears to be successful, but everything I tried still results in the reboot loop.

Other things I have tried

Charged with wall charger for 48 hours

Swapped battery

Removed SD card and then flashed ROM

If there is anything else that you can think of that I should try, please let me know. We are passed the point of being able to return the device to the EBAY seller and this device was purchased to be used as a Hand-held PC so we do not have a contract with any service provider.

Thank you!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] indagroove:
You could try flashing to a verizon or other CDMA operator's rom and see what results you get. Also could try unlocking and flash a custom rom. If you run out of options, send it to me and I will try to fix it for you free of charge. I will send it back to you within 48 hours of receiving it. Just include postage paid return packaging.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirchuk:
So I've got a lot of light coming through along the entire bottom edge of my EVO. If I push in the bottom, the light goes away, but comes back when I release it. The bevel of the screen is clearly above the edge of the phone. It's getting to the point that it's distracting when in a low light area while watching a video or browsing online.

Are Sprint stores exchanging these units? Is this something that is going to continue to get worse as time goes on? I've also heard of dust getting under the screen and causing additional issues, and that it will be covered under HTC's 1 year manufacturer defect warranty.

I paid the full $450 on this phone, so if there is a defect I would want it dealt with. I've also heard that it's a Nova screen and the new ones are Epson, and the Epson's are an inferior screen to the Nova's.

Anyhow, what is your opinion? Get it replaced or just live with it?

All this is assuming of course that my local store has EVO's in stock to replace it with. I purchased on launch day, so the 30 days is up in 2 days.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rutter9:
Yes exchange it. I can only imagine what it would look like in about a year.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDSL:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirchuk:
Even though I purchased it out right, I still have 30 days right? If so, I'm going to try to exchange it today. If I cant then I'm going to return it and wait until stock arrives.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebu:
If you dont have insurance on the phone you still have the manufacture warranty, lucky you you get a brand new one, they gave me a "re-manufactured" one. i have no idea how they had any re-manufactured REV3 device. swap it now anyway, the differences in the screens are not that major, i havent seen much difference really.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirchuk:
So I called my local store, and no EVO's in stock for existing customers.

I explained the issue, he said he may have one tomorrow.

He then proceeded to tell me that they are not exchangeable for the screen issue. He said it is purely cosmetic, and they can not exchange it for that reason.

So I told him I'll just return it for a refund within the 30 day period.

Edit:

So I hung up and I got to wondering if there is going to be a restocking fee of some kind, so I called customer care.

I was then told that both exchanging the phone, and whether or not they will charge a $35 restocking fee is at the discretion of the store.

Customer care said that the phone could be exchanged because it was a manufacturers defect, but it's up to the store.

Now I'm wondering, $450 for a problem phone that may or may not get worse later on, or paying the $35 restocking fee and switching back to my Hero, or saying a big screw you, returning the phone, paying the fee, and then getting out of my contract. Sure, I'll pay a cancellation charge, but I can get the new Droid from Verizon soon and I'll likely break even with their discounted price.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdnbass:
I'm actually in the same situation..

Screen separation, loads of light leaking, and a stuck pixel.

However if the epson unit ends up being even worse, then i'd be pissed. :(

According to phandroid, on the left is a nova, and on the right is an epson..

To be quite honest, the epson (right) looks more realistic, and color reproduction appears more accurate..

Yet the net is filled with people saying they like the nova more..

F*&%ING HTC, Why can't you just be honest with us?

Which screen is better? Why do we have to worry about this crap...

Who switches components within the same model type and tells noone, damnit!?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirchuk:
I also wonder what one has a better screen. Regardless though, I still need it replaced. I would rather have a different screen rather than one that already has issues.

Also, now I'm curious if the new phones have the latest OTA update. If they do, will I be able to root? What a pain in the butt. Keep a defective phone that can be rooted or replace it for an inferior screen that can't be rooted. Ugh.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldt:
How long after purchasing the device did you notice these problems? If it takes a while maybe its heat that causes these problems, but definitely replace it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirchuk:
I actually noticed the light leak immediately, as well as a slight "up" to the screen. It just for progressively worse with use though.

I wanted to post an update. Yesterday I went into my local store after calling. I just told the person at the counter that I needed to exchange or return my EVO due to the screen separating on the bottom and sides. The manager was standing right there and said they can't exchange it for that issue since it's cosmetic, according to HTC. I said I know, but I spent $450 on a phone and I want it without a cosmetic issue. He said that he didn't have one to sell that day, but he would take my information and call me this morning if the one they had didn't sell to someone who was expected to come in. The manager said he understood and would take care of me.

This morning I received the call that they had an EVO to exchange for me. I went in and swapped it out fairly quickly.

The new phone is a Rev 003, it's the Epson screen, and did not have the latest software update installed. Best case scenario I could have hoped for (the Epson screens do not have the separation issue.)
