[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvigue:
with the news about android in the past few days...should i hold on to my hd2? cause i am not liking Winmo any longer. i have been using it for a few months now, and i am just not liking it. BUT, the HD2 is bar far my fav phone as far as the phone itself...

in all honesty..when, in your opinions, would be see a working android port? even if lets say blue tooth, Fm radio etc wont work for now, but just basic functions like the phone, camera etc...

thoughts? i have my HD2 on ebay, and i am wondering if i should end it...and keep it

Thanks!

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victorhooi:
heya,

I have a Nexus One with FRF83.

However, the GPS on this one never seems to work.

I've dowloaded "GPS Status" and "GPS Test", and both don't seem to display a single satellite. This is in a wide-clear area, standing still for around 10 minutes.

Is there any definitive way to diagnose whether it's a hardware issue, or whether it's software-related?

I suppose if it's hardware-related, I have to send it in to HTC *sigh*. And I'm in Australia, so from what I've heard that means I have to post it back to the US, where it was bought, right? Urgh. Which means I'm without my phone for a few weeks, possibly. It's a shame they can't do it locally.

Cheers,

Victor
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victorhooi:
heya,

I just thought I'd add that I think I've pretty much narrowed it down to a specific problem with my particular unit.

I've got another Nexus One, that I bought for my friend, also on 2.2 FRF83.

I took both up to the top of a hill, near my area - this is an Australian suburb, so we're talking quarter-acre blocks, a few trees, with more or less clear LOS to the sky.

I also tried the same test at my church, which is in a very rural area.

My unit wasn't able to pick up a single satellite at either location, using either "GPS Status" or "GPS Test". Her unit was able to pick one up in a manner of seconds.

I've uploaded a YouTube video of both units trying to get a fix here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVccDttQiLU

and screenshots here:

http://twitpic.com/20cpla/full

http://twitpic.com/20cpd1/full

I suppose there's no chance this could still be software related? (I recently did a factory reset - only had these units for around a week). Or is it definitely hardware related? Any other diagnostics I could run?

And if it is, I guess it's post back to the US, and wait a few weeks, right? *sigh*. Has anybody else had issues with their GPS?

Cheers,

Victor

Is your phone rooted? And did you get froyo OTA, I had this problem with the maps and it was because o didn't do a full wipe on my phone... which caused the maps to work improperly
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donchele:
are you guys using 850 or 900 N1?

Because mine (850) when i ised eclair was accurate, and now FRF50, FRF72 and FRF83 isnt any more...

I think this is just a software realted issue!

we just probably have to wait! ;)

what radio are u using?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victorhooi:
heya,

My phone isn't rooted, it's stock 2.2 FRF83.

It's the T-Mobile version, on the Optus network in Australia

And from what I can tell, it's not just in Maps - it's in any GPS utility - it doesn't just not get a fix on a satellite, it doesn't *see* any satellites at all. And the interesting thing is, my friend's Nexus One is also stock FRF83, works fine.

I just did a factory reset *sigh*, didn't sync/set anything, just installed GPS Status, still the same issue unfortunately, it just sits there, doesn't see any satellites.

donchele: Do you think you could install GPS Status (or GPS Test) and see if you see any satellites?

Cheers,

Victor
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donchele:
i just installed it, it showed like 6-7 green dots, i was inside my house when i did the test... is there an exact thing that you wan to see?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] logger:
Have you tried pulling the battery for 5 or 10 minutes? Sounds to me like the ephemeris data might be screwed up.

When the Telstra branded Desire was first released in Australia Telstra screwed with the server settings that provided the ephemeris info breaking the GPS.

Have a look in with a file viewer at /etc/gps and see how it compares with this..

NTP_Server=north-america.pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

SUPL_PORT=7276

^^^^This is from EPE54B 2.1.1 850mhz N1

Do you have the stock MAPs application loaded only? Just that if you happened to have loaded the out of date Brut.All Maps Navigation v3 instead of his current 4.* version this will break your GPS too.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victorhooi:
heya,

donchele: Thanks for that. Yeah, I tried with mine, I get a single empty green dot, which I think is the compass, but not any others, and no satellites show up (see http://twitpic.com/20cpla/) At least that's a clue that it seems to be hardware on mine.

logger: I just used ASTRO file manager to view that file, it seems to be identical to the one you posted.

NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276

Also, I just pulled the battery out for 15 minutes, to flush the ephemeris data.

Just rebooted, still nothing on "GPS Status" though =(.

Finally, I spoke to HTC US this morning - they said I can post it to them in the US, but they can only return it back to a US address. Urgh. So there's no "international" warranty as such. And HTC Australia won't handle it, since it's a US-purchased phone - even though I have all the original warranty documentation. The CSR said perhaps try calling HTC UK?

Has anybody here dealt with HTC support? I know this is blasphemy, and I loathe Apple's business practices, but I have to say, from my iPod and my sister's Macbook, their support is much better to deal with than HTC's...

Cheers,

Try leaving it stationary in a more or less clear position with GPS running for longer. Maybe 1/2 an hour or so. Cant hurt. If you can get the elusive first fix then it may well come good. Strikes me as unlikely the GPS hardware is faulty because they surely would have tested it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victorhooi:
Hi,

logger: Thanks for that. I did try for longer, just left it there in GPS Status, still no luck =(. I was really hoping initially it was just a software issue or something, to save me from sending it away.

Anyhow, I posted the device in yesterday to the HK service centre, will hopefully see where it goes.

Finally, in their email, it seemed like they were trying to say that I should arrange for a return courier to retrieve the phone.

http://twitpic.com/20wxf7

Does anybody know if this is normal practice with HTC? I'm happy to pay for postage to get it to the service centre, but I don't particularly feel it's my responsibility to arrange for a return. Do I have a case here?

Thanks,

Victor
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] severedembrace:
Victor -

I'm having the same issues as you.

My configuration is the same except I'm up to the latest Froyo (FRF 85B, I think).

Let me know how your issue plays out.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victorhooi:
heya,

severedembrace: Well, I posted the phone in yesterday, and also also sent them an email asking them to clarify the return postage issue.

They (HTC Hong Kong) rang around 19:43 last night (Wednesday) Australian-time, their accent was quite thick, but I think they were basically asking me to call them in regards to the email. I'm not sure why they didn't just reply to my email.

Anyhow, I called today, and get a message saying their opening hours are Monday to Saturday, 8am to 8pm. I checked a list of HK holidays, turns out today is SAR establishment day or something, a public holiday in Hong Kong...lol.

I'll let you know how it pans out.

Also, when you say the same issue, do you mean you installed "GPS Test" or "GPS Status", and neither program is picking up a single satellite. Can you just confirm that please?

Cheers,

Victor
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] severedembrace:
Installed both of 'em. No readings.

Pulled the battery for 15 minutes, did a factory reset.

No change.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hayden1987:
I am also having the exact same issue :( I can't see any satellites using either of those softwares and I tried factory resets and pulling the battery for an hour... and nothing.. please update with how this turns out for you.. also running stock FRF91 and GPS was working perfectly in eclair before.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victorhooi:
heya,

severedembrace/hayden1987: As per post #12, I sent in my phone to HTC Hong Kong, to get it looked at.

To be honest, my experience with HTC HK has been pretty abysmal. At first they tried to get me to both organise and pay for a return courier, for the repaired phone. I explained to them that it was a warranty-repair, and they had certain obligations to me, as a consumer, and while I was prepared (and already had paid for) the phone to be couriered to them, I certainly wasn't paying for return postage as well.

There was a bit of to-and-fro via email and phone calls, and eventually, after threatening to take them (HTC) to the HK Consumer Council, and also open proceedings in a small claims court in California against Google, they said that my case was a "special case", and they'd arrange to have it posted back to me.

I have no idea if the threats of legal proceedings and a formal complaint helped at all. If it did, it's a bit sad I had to resort to that to get a successful resolution to my case.

Also, why is it that Asian countries (I'm Chinese btw, just in case anybody decides to cry RACIST! Lol) always seem to have weaker consumer protection. In the UK, they have the distance selling regulations (Goods Act), which actually even helps them get reimbursement for the postage *to* the repair centre in certain cases.

It seems a bit unfair that if a product fails due to the manufacturer's fault, that HTC tries to make you pay even more, for postage both ways.

Anyhow, the Nexus One is scheduled to come back today, so I'll let you guys know how it goes, and if the GPS issue is resolved.

Cheers,

Victor
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victorhooi:
heya,

My Nexus One came back today.

Did a upgrade to 2.2 FRF91, then a factory reset.

At first, it didn't work and I was a bit worried. However, I was inside a building.

I took out the battery for 15 minutes, then took it outside, managed to see satellites and eventually get a fix.

So to the others - if you can't see any satellites at all, I think you should send it in, and get it repaired by HTC, while it's still under warranty...lol.

I did some googling before, and quite a few other people seem to experiencing similar issues, or at least just issues with the GPS. I suppose it's difficult to tell how many of those are software related. Still, I wonder if this is actually some kind of hardware issue with the Nexus One, and the GPS transmitter failing prematurely?

Cheers,

Victor

[Droid Incredible General] 87jason:
I have gained root once and it didnt stick so i ran through the procedures again and did all the push commands then got to the adb push payload-update.zip command and it will not pop up the incredible unrevoked script adian on the recovory screen. I did the before ota downgrade and got it to push that payload again but it didnt say the incredible unrevoked this time after it finished and it wouldnt let me do any of the adb shell commands. Could someone give me some advice and now it wont downgrade again cause the install update screen surprised me and i did the ota now i cant downgrade again...LITTLE HELP PLEASE:(
[Droid Incredible General] yojoe600:
if the payload fails to push u must reload 1.bat before you try again
[Droid Incredible General] heavensblade23:
The trick is that you're letting it check the signature on the its update and then overwriting it with the payload.
[Droid Incredible General] 87jason:
So how do i reload the 1.bat sorry if that's a silly question.
[Droid Incredible General] yojoe600:
follow the 10 min video he explains it
[Droid Incredible General] 87jason:
Thank you very much,...... This thing is busting my balls.
[Droid Incredible General] qwho:
I had a problem with loading the payload and I figured out that if you don't have success the first time with the whole run the update on the phone and then a half second later run the push payload update on the pc, before you ever try that again, push ota.zip as update.zip (the previous step) before you try the half second push steps

[Android Themes] OG:
I don't think so. The notification bar is in the Framework-Res.APK? and if yo change that, you change the lock screen and a lot of other stuff soo yeah.
[Android Themes] dully79:
1-"adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk"

2-Copy the file you want from the "system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-mdpi\" folder from the ROM you desire into your pulled framework-res.apk in the same path as above "system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-mdpi\"

3-adb push "C,D,E:\(wherever it is)framework-res.apk /system/framework/"

just a heads up dont push framework you will get frosted boot loops:cool:.. flash the framework via update or mm

You'll need to use a gold card and put the 1.33.2010 eng spl then use adb to flash back to stock spl and radio. Should just follow the rooting instructions at theunlockr...

so I tried the 2010 spl. The system loads and installs successfully, but the radio version still has problems downgrading to 3.22. Still no recovery screen and I tried the G and H old/new versions. grrrr... I may just give up and JTAG it

I'm in the same situation, I think. You have any luck with JTAG or otherwise? Thanks.

how did you flash the 2010 spl if you cant get it to pass the bootscreen? did you flash it through HBoot or Fastboot USB?

[General Topics] @MARK:
So my wife has told me she likes the look of the SE X10 Mini Pro. No problems there.

But I have 2 purchase options as I am currently on an unbeatable deal with T-Mobile.

Firstly I can but a phone sim free and keep me very good deal or I can negotiate a deal with T-Mobile as they will be carrying this handset shortly and save splashing £200 on the handset up front.

But my concern is that carriers have a habit of tinkering with phones and branding them before they ship them. I have seen horror stories of how Orange have actually removed basic features to their own ends and so on.

But what about T-Mobile? Do they tend to tinker with the handsets much or do they tend to leave them well alone (and yes I know I could go via Carphone warehouse and get an unlocked and unmolested one)?

Thanks

From what I have seen Tmo doesn't take anything out of the roms, but they do add useless crap that needs to be removed. Like Blockbuster app, Barnes and Noble app, My Account, etc...
[General Accessories] mitch27:
Couldn't find anything online, but maybe someone here knows if one exists. Basically instead of an external battery that plugs into the port, does anyone make a case that will fit HTC batteries (TP2/EVO) that you can just plug into your phone via cable?

I don't mind carrying a spare battery, but I can't stand having to remove my phone case, then remove the phone backing just to replace the battery. I figure something like this should have an extremely low profile, and very simple to use.

help when i try to make a call on my HD2 the phone crashes then it i try to end the call my pressing the end key. i the lock the phone and guess what about 5mons later it decides it wants to call. i end up with calls 18mins long and a phone billl or £170 what do i do the is the phone faulty???? this phone has NOT been hardspl-ed and has always had a stock rom. what do i do is the phone faulty? and it has next to no apps. app it has it myphone, marketplace and the stock copilot which i dont this i have ever clicked on the app oh and netframwork 3.5 thats about it.
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
hard reset, the phone, if still happens take it back and demand a replacement and hope you can make it do it again when you are in the shop, never heard this one before but not good,

although i would of prob whipped the battery out if i could disconnect the call

[HD2 General] samsamuel:
just confirm please, when you say the phone crashes, do you mean it actually crashes, or the screen becomes unresponsive? If it is the screen that stops responding, check you dont have 'increased tap time' tweak installed either as a cab or as part of bsbtweaks, because this causes unresponsive screen on call screen.
[HD2 General] lnoormohamed:
no litteraly the phone crashes the hardware buttons dont responding, you have to wait a while for it to work. i usally keep pressing the end key to try to stop dialing out but it has a mind of its own. useually the phone starts to dial outafter 5mins or so when the phone is locked
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
nice. if it were me, id give it a chance at a hard reset, then straight back to where it came from.

(course, it slightly possibly could be the sim card, know anyone on same network you can borrow a sim from?
[HD2 General] ProjektFuze:
yea... no one can believe it.... its almost impossible.... but i did... and at the time i wanted to shoot myself... but now i use it to make people shocked
[HD2 General] M3PH:
No point because it's not the cause of the problem. I had this once about a week after i got my leo. At the time i was running the phone as delivered and it was hanging (not crashing. this is a "hang" in the traditional PC sense) all over the place. This particular situation is the same.

What's happening is the processor is becoming hot and is down clocking itself to allow it to cool. At the same time Sense is asking for a crap load of memory transfers all while your trying to make a call. The phone decides that Sense is more important than the user and stops responding to you until it has cleared it's instruction queue. This is why if you leave it for a while (10 minutes or so) the phone will suddenly start responding again. That is unless Sense gets an instruction timeout and actually does crash (had that a few times).

I cured it by installing Leocpuspeed and disabling the autoscalling and setting the clock speed to 998Mhz. It allows the processor to plough through it's queue faster giving it more free time to respond to the user. I've also noticed that the cooked 6.5.5 roms that have newer versions of sense also respond better OTB.

I can't explain it dialing by on it's own though. A few possibilities here. It could be someone dicking about with a paired bluetooth headset all the way to a virus picked up from a website or a poorly sourced app. I couldn't say for sure because the OP is being pretty vague tbf.
