not gonna happen

I bought my tattoo less than 3 months ago and it's great! But since many people like me bought it when the people from frandroid leaked false info for an upcoming update htc should have decided to do it out of good will and marketing. Yet again even an up-to-date htc hero rom hasnt been released yet. Next htc prodct should be htc no update ir htc next quartee, etc.

*edit I guess they pushed a hero firmware upgrade after all

[Click General] TheSSJ:
That's never gonna happen that I'll be buying another HTC product! Don't get me wrong: I loved my Tattoo, but even the best phone is useless without software support...

P.S.: And I bet my ass that they never did a research at all...there was never Tattoo software support by HTC (and after 2.2 the Wildfire will also "die")!
[Click General] _david_94:
Have you tried kiljacken's 2.1 ROM with Sense UI? Tattoo really can't manage it... It runs way to slowly and unreliably.

That's why my next phone will be a virgin android, no sense, motoblur or whatever junk.

But if they really loved us they would release a kernel or basic 2.x ROM with camera support and no Sense junk and let us cannibalize it... but that'll never happen :cool:

HTC is maybe not supporting its customers, but they are no idiots to release a 2.x code for Tattoo ;)

this reponse of HTC is weired, it seems that they not talk about TATTOO, they talk generality... yesterday a receive a response of HTC that they don´t upgrade our phone to Android 2.1. i think this is a lie, for my sorry
[Click General] raven_raven:
I just wonder: what is in this 2.1 software that you want so much? You want your phone to run slower and drain battery faster? Donut is not so bad. I use it on my G1 after a bunch of Eclair ROMs and really like it. I'm even thinking of staying on 1.6.
[Click General] Coburn64:
Ditto. HTC make good products, that can fall off beds and not smash unlike *cough*iPhones*cough* that just explode for no apparent reason. When it comes to support, it's like pulling your teeth out with a rusty pair of pliers. Very painful process and they end up tossing you into a creek without a paddle.
[Click General] melmagar2003:
next,i want to buy other phone except HTC.
[Click General] sheik_yerbouti:
I used one of the 2.1 ROM's from here, and it didn't drain the battery has fast as the stock 1.6 ROM. It was definitely faster and used lesser battery. So battery usage is not ROM specific, but manufacturer specific. If the manufacturer writes a ****ty code or makes too many apps run at the same time, it drains more battery.

Frankly, I don't want to buy another phone from HTC. I'll probably buy a Moto Droid next, though I don't like Moto phones.

Not official

A few thoughts on this.

First the thread title, this is not official. This is the main problem, HTC are bad at communicating with their customers (unless they are telling you what new product they have launched or what award they have won). Their 'technical support' are the front-line culprits. Their answers are very inconsistent, and a lot of the answers are guesses based on the internal rumour mill. The big rumour internet surge in March ("HTC confirm Tattoo getting 2.1) was due to the publication of a response from HTC technical support. Their head office marketing teams should be stopping this.

Secondly, I bought my Tattoo last year. At the time, i was an Android noob and was told by Vodafone that one of the great things is that Android would be constantly evolving. I personally didn't expect this to be forever, just not never. I contacted HTC support before purchase and was told it would be updated shortly. I also read a press release from HTC saying that Hero and Tattoo would be updated 2010Q1.

I'm relatively happy with my Tattoo. I'm relatively happy with 1.6 (but might not be in a year when no apps will run on it -- hoping this won't be the situation!). The only thing that does annoy me with it is the lack of Autofocus (again the spec claiming Autofocus was all over the web last December -- but wrong).

What will stop me buying another HTC though is this lack of communication (or poor commuication). This century companies need to have a dialogue with their customers and be open in their communications. HTC have not done this, and so although I think their products are good enough, their company isn't.

i send the msg to htc today and they also replied me back looks like lil hope for updates

Dear Shahid,

I understand how important it is to have the latest updates for your device. At this point in time, I have not heard any announcements about new updates for the HTC Tattoo. This does not mean there will not be any, just that nothing specifically has been announced recently. Usually the updates are not announced until they become available. While I do not have any information about updates right now, I can at least help you a bit for the future. I know you state the device was made in Taiwan, but I'd like to make sure we can get you to the exact page that you would go to for any updates to your device. I could best assist you with this if you could reply to me with the serial number of your device. You should be able to find the serial number by removing the battery and looking in the battery compartment on the back of the phone. With this, I can point you in the proper direction for updates.

To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number ...........

Sincerely,

Philip

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC_Junglist:
I have been told to send back my HD2 for repair by HTC as they said it is definetly faulty (Audio delay, delay dialing numbers, keypad slows down dramatically during sms typing).

Now I know as well as the rest of you, it's not faulty, it's just HD2's common problems, but they assure me they can send one out without these issues.

But before I send it off, can anyone tell me if this is a stock ROM etc. I've installed so much I can't remember what is stock & what is not lol.

Also, how can I remove HSPL if I have it installed, and how do I tell if I have?

Many thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC_Junglist:
Ok, so I managed to check it by pushing the volume key down and resetting, this is the info it gave me:

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-1.42.HSPL XE

0x05

CotullaHSPL 0x30

Is this the version that comes with the phone or is it something I' ve installed?

Just so I don't invalidate my warrenty when I send it back?

I've found out how to remove it, but I there's no need if it's the one that came with my HD2.

Thanks for any help at all.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
That is something you installed ....

search and download HSPL3 run it, select sp1.42 or spl1.66(just changed this per sams post below) , that will remove HSPL and put it back to stock spl. It looks like the ROM is a stock one, but if you want to be sure after removing HSPL , download and install a stock ROM for your phone ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
stop, only tmous phones ship with spl 2.x, and an official tmous rom would fail to flash on your phone without hspl so they will know you've been tampering.

use hspl2 and choose either 1.42.0000 or 1.66.0000

the rom should be fine, it's hspl that is the deal breaker.

@watcher, you would be spot on for a tmous user :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:

I'm hoping this is as back to normal as I will get it, ready to send back to HTC now.

Again, thanks to you both, very much appreciated.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
just realised you have a 50 radio installed, which are from tmous.not sure whether that's worth worrying about but for safety i'd re run hspl2 apply an hspl, flash a 51 radio then remove hspl again just like before.

i would probably go for 2.06.51.x radio or there abouts.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC_Junglist:
Sweet, thanks so much for all the help tonight mate.

Very much appreciated.

Just wonder if they really will be able to send it back without any of the issues I'm having, I really think they are just quirks of the HD2.

I've hard reset it now.

Just checked & I'm still getting the same issues:

Audio not in sync & delay in dialing when tapping a contact to dial, sms typing lags badly after typing about 30 words, built in youtube uploader not working & internet cutting out.

I very much doubt they can fix this, like I said, just seems to be too many peopple with the same issues, but they reckon they can, and they also guaranteed me it will only take 7 days (Again, don't think this will be the case).

They said they won't send a temp phone, but I'm arguing that at the moment as they told me it's a faulty phone.

We will see :)

Thanks again :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
heh, best of luck with that. and i think you're right, most of those issues are pretty much standard to a greater or lesser degree, some have them, some dont, some have some of them, some dont,,, its hit and miss, but hey, a second chance at a new phone is always a winner.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC_Junglist:
Yeah that's what I'm thinking, it's not going to cost me anything to get it looked at so if I end up with the same phone back I've not lost anything.

If I get a new one back it's a bonus.

I'll post back the results when I've sent it back & finally had it returned.

backing up original rom

[Omnia II General] off999:
hi guys as you can see i'm new to this forum. I've recently got a Samsung GT-i8000 and i am so grateful that there is a forum dedicated to my phone model. However i am having some difficulties with the phone which i hope that you guys can answer my queries. I chanced upon this websites and i thought it would be a great opportunity to voice out my queries.

Firstly, is the Omnia II meant to be say, laggy? well everytime i switch on my phone or close applications that consumes a large amount of memory, it automatically shows the rotating loading sign and it won't go away unless i wait for like a few minutes or i have to reboot the phone. I did not download any applications(well except for facebook and so on).. but from what i can tell my phone has a relatively good amount of free memory(roughly about 50mb). So my question is there anything that i can do to solve/reduce the lag? (I have tried htcaddicts.com's clearRAM thing, but it still does not really do the job).

Secondly, i am having problems with the connectivity on the phone. Everytime i surf the net using the phone(not wireless.. the data plan) for awhile sometimes it just suddenly disconnects itself. I did not press the 'end call' button which will end my connection, but it automatically does it by itself. This happens even when my battery is charged, so does anyone know why it happens? cause it gets really irritating sometimes when i'm reading halfway and it just goes off by itself.

Thirdly, i have tried downloading some simple apps such as alarm clocks and stuff like that and downloaded into 'My Storage' but when i access settings the programs showed that it is downloaded into the 'My Device' memory, which i suspect is causing the lag. However i am no IT expert, and i hope you guys would guide me along with this phone. thanks :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phyllip J FRy:
So, I am curious if anyone else has this issue. I have 3 EVO's (all launch day) and 3 Heros (bought at the same time as the EVO's). All Heros are rooted and running Fresh Toast Rom. One EVO (mine) is running EvolutionX (Froyo). The other 2 Evo's are stock, non rooted.

All phones are occasionally missing calls. They do not even show in the call log. I have tested it. I called my phone (which was 2 inches from me) from my office and nothing. It just rings until it goes to voice mail, but the EVO does not ring at all. This happens on all the phones. Outbound calls work fine on the phone when this happens, though. I can call a landline and it goes through, but can not receive calls. It lasts about 5-30 minutes.

Any ideas?

This has onyl just started happening to me :-(

I'm running DC 2.0.9.1

Currently no OC Kernel.

I am running A2SD

Currently, after doing a nandroid backup, whenever I test the backup by restoring it and rebooting, I'm getting into a bootloop.

Does anyone know why this could be ? It's infuriating.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcarter2000:
Did you do a NAND+EXT backup/restore? If so, then the only thing I could think of would be a bad sdcard.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
What is your battery level at? In my experience and a few others' too, the phone may bootloop after a nandroid restore and reboot if the battery power is too low. To be safe, only do this if your battery is at least 70 to 75 percent or higher, and also it would probably help if it stays plugged in to the charger or computer while doing it all too.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkirton:
Not sure about DamageControl A2SD...did you put the dalvik-cache on the SD card?

Did you do a wipe of the SD card before you restored?

If yes to both, it's possible that the /system/sd/dalvik-cache is not present.

Easy fix:

1. Go into your phone while it is booting using adb shell

2. Type: cd /system/sd

3. Type: /system/xbin/busybox mkdir /system/sd/dalvik-cache

4. Type: /system/xbin/busybox chmod 755 /system/sd/dalvik-cache

5. Type: reboot

As one participant stated, if you didn't do a Nandroid + Ext backup, then your apps are not on the SD card...and if you wiped your ext partition, your app and app-private directories aren't there, either.

If that's the case, do this:

1. Go into your phone while it is booting using adb shell

2. Type: cd /system/sd

3. Type: /system/xbin/busybox mkdir /system/sd/app

4. Type: /system/xbin/busybox mkdir /system/sd/app-private

5. Type: /system/xbin/busybox chmod 755 /system/sd/app

6. Type: /system/xbin/busybox chmod 755 /system/sd/app-private

This one doesn't require a reboot, but you can perform one if you like.

After those two, I would really need to see a logcat to determine what is the cause.

So I am attempting to use the newly discovered Flash exploit and I am running into a problem. When I first put the files on my sdcard and ran it, part1 ran successfully, then I started my browser and refreshed, then I rebooted the phone. I kept running the command to run part2 however when it finally got to the point where the device would respond to adb, it simply said permission denied. Now I am unable to run any of the parts or do anything really. I have done the "Clear Storage" option in the volume down menu on bootup and the Clear Data in the Privacy setting and then tried again to no avail...my phone simply refuses to run the scripts. I've also tried to format my SD card both through my computer and through the phone.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gx1400:
I would try to do a factory reset (menu->settings->privacy?->factory reset?... i dunno if this is right but its somewhere in there).

First time it boots up, just skip through all of the starting config stuff, enable USB debugging, set to charge only, and connect to adb, run your 'adb shell' then 'sh /sdcard/part1'

you should probably see two lines pop up, one says to reboot your phone and run again, the other says to open up the internet app and go to the bit.ly/ap0dRn, REBOOT your phone.

Rerun adb and part 1, if its successful and tells you to reboot then reboot using adb reboot.

What I did (and it took me 3 or 4 factory resets to get this to work), was to leave my phone plugged into the PC and when it comes up to the white HTC boot logo, it will may take a few seconds, but as soon you hear the windows sound saying the phone connect (BA DUN) hit enter on your 'adb shell /data/local/part2' command. If it says not found, just keep hitting up, enter till it does. I think it needs to be done while the white boot screen is still up. If it doesn't, then in my experience with it, I had to do a factory wipe and start over.

You should see the output when its done saying you have rw-rw-rw- root blah blah and it would always kick me out of adb. I never got the su's # prompt. But I would go in and do the cat stuff like it says and reboot, flash the PC36IMG.zip file and it would be downgraded for me to do toast's part 2.

I know it was an essay, but hopefully that works for you.

hi,

i'm using Energy Rom (6.5 cookie, 1jul). I use Manila for few pages (home, email, calendar, music, messages, settings, album), and because i like a lot Cookie Home.

I don't use a lot of manila pages (footprint, stock, meteo, facebook, reader, twitter, etc etc).

I disabled all pages i don't use, but memory usage does not change, because if i disable some manila pages, they are only "hidden", but are not really disabled (releasing memory).

(ex: i disabled meteo, but meteo is still updated in calendar page)

I ask: is possible, setting registry or files, disable REALLY some manila pages, in order to release memory?

Thanks
