Isn't this how most WM devices used to be? :confused: (Not exactly sure, as the TP2 was my first WM device. Perhaps someone more experienced could step in.)

I think their LEDs would constantly blink to show the phone was on.

Maybe it's the same thing.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Luapo:
I have the same problem (with the same ROM). Also the key pad lights stay on also. Not that bothered by it because the awesomeness of Android/froyo outweighs any negatives!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stratplayer:
Yes, it lets you know that the thing hasn't locked up as well!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RobbyTouchHD:
You can avoid the keypad lights to stay on with the following:

When your phone is shut down turn it on.

When windows is booted never press a button from the keypad!

Go to your sd card and android folder and start calcid.exe and haret.exe.

Now the keypad shouldn´t turn on the lights!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nixeon:
Thanks for the help. I've had my phone running android for a few hours and now the blinking LED has stopped. So now I'm very confused but oh well not major issue.

Install it on the PC and it automatically installs the necessary Software onto the android phone when usb is connected.

It syncs Outlook calendar and contacts. Although they say its Pre Alpha it works reliable so far.

It also works in the background and you can set it to autosync whenever you connect the android.

I put them into Outlook correctly, in the right sequence...

Im in Australia, so they go like this:

And, thats how my old one displayed them.

This one does this:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cheeseus:
Hi everyone,

One device I really would like to get my hands on is the Sharp IS01 by KDDI or its twin, the LYNX SH-10B by DoCoMo.

This is a very nice 5-inch netbook with promising hardware but the OS is obsolete although they have started selling the device just a few months ago.

The IS01 is running Android 1.6 and according to Akihabaranews, the Japanese operator KDDI is not planning to offer an upgrade (although Sharp are offering a special SDK for it).

My question to somebody who has this device or to all experts out there is, could an Android OS be so heavily locked as to allow no upgrade? After all, this isn't Windows CE, but has a Linux core - I'd imagine people who dream in code would be able to do just about anything the code allows...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hadsn:
IS01 and SH-10B won't be updated any longer.

Because KDDI and NTTdocomo announced They will NOT update them respectively.

But there is good news.

IS01 was rooted!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadowafs8:
Hey guys, I'm following a rooting guide for the G1. What I did was I downgraded the G1 to 1.5 (cupcake) in order to start the rooting process. After this, I installed recovery flasher and installed the 1.4 build (outdated, but it's highly dependable and familiar to use). When I used the wipe option then used the option "apply any zip from sd", to update my zip file (named update-cm-4.2.15.1-signed.zip), and rebooted my device, it hangs on the G1 screen. Thus, I decided to restore my NAND backup and my device boots up fine.

However, now the browser seems to have not stayed and uninstalled itself. Not only that, but the build number is crb43 (which I understand it must be RC29). Any idea why this occurred and what I can do to get the CM to work?

Hello,

Maybe you know the forum (in French) of TG01 => toshiba-tg01.forumactif.com/roms-disponibles-et-flashage-f11/x2-panel-manager-du-xperia-x2-sur-le-tg01-t988.htm#11470

A small application of the Today caught my attention

including the panel appointed: Tilwave panel

It is very simple and contains almost no options

(The shortcut to explorer, icon "Sony Ericsson" is particularly annoying)

But little more is the screensaver that comes alive in 3D, very nice ...

So here's my question: I'd like to know if seait possible to add links?

Finally there is the possible improvement?

Thank you for your answers

Tilewave is a Sony Ericsson X2 panel for its homescreen. You need to install the x2 panel manager and other add-on for it to work on the Tg01.;)
[HTC Excalibur] antic323:
I would need help with my HTC s620. Sometimes the mic works perfectly, sometimes it does not, so people on the other end of the line can not hear me at all or just very-very low. I already tried changing regedit and also used the audio gain and microphone fix .cab files, but the basic problem remained: sometimes the mic works, sometimes not. I made soft reset / hard reset several times, still the problem remains. With my bluetooth headset I always have good voice quality even if the mic on the phone is not working. Altogether this drove me to the conclusion that I need to replace the microphone in my HTC s620.

On Ebay I can buy a new replacement microphone for a few $ but I don't know whether I would be able to replace it on my own. Anyone has any experience? Do I need any special tools for replacing the mic in my HTC s620? Can anyone provide me with a guide how to proceed? Any help is much appreciated.
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
There's a guide for taking apart your excalibur in the sticky, but honestly it doesn't specify how to change your mic :( but it will give a pretty good idea of what tools to use to open and re-assemble your dash.
[HTC Excalibur] antic323:
Thanks for the response Mr. Clown. Indeed I would need a bit more specific info on how the MIC is attached to the phone and with what method it can be replaced. I read some forums on other type of phones where only the manufacturer is able to replace either the mic or the full board when it is impossible to replace the mic. As I mentioned earlier on Ebay there are two offers recently on OEM HTC mic for s620, however some forums also mention that even if a separate mic can be purchased, it does not guarantee that it can easily be replaced. Unfortunately I am not a tech expert, so I appreciate any guidance on this issue. Many thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] antic323:
some possible solution

I searched a bit further on more general forums and it seems that I found the answer, so I post it here for others facing a similar problem.

It is not impossible but requires quite an experience and expertise to replace the microphone as it is soldered on the pcb. It needs high temparature heating and then the soldering of the new microphone. You can find new OEM microphones on Ebay (there are recently two offers: 3 - 6 USD price range + shipping), but you have to find someone who will replace the mic for you and who is experienced well and will not destroy your board with this procedure.

Here is a simple description of the process:

1. Set heater of your rework station between 400 to 417 degrees celcius, and air make the pointer of the air knob point aj 9 o'clock.

2. Select nozzle size that is not too big or too small for the mic.

3. Apply ample paste on the mic and direct the heat on it. Remove the mic with metal tweezers gently.

4. Apply paste to the interface of the mic to be soldered and then apply tiny solder on the pads to be soldered.

5. Place the mic correctly on the pcb and apply heat from the opposite side of the pcb, and remove the heat when the solder is melted.

Some have reported that this method really works, however I found no information whether it also works for the Excalibur as the interesting point is the exact place of the mic, so by heating it you will not damage other parts of the board.

I contacted the official HTC service and some other mobile experts, so I am looking for someone that can make the replacement for me... It is recommended that you also proceed similarly.

I hope this info will help.
[HTC Excalibur] tobbbie:
If the mic sometimes works and other times not, why not trying to re-solder the contacts first? This is much easier than removing/replacing the microphone as you can apply the heat one contact after the other.

Dumb question: You are not covering the hole for the mic. with your fingers from time to time?
[HTC Excalibur] antic323:
Thanks for the reply tobbie. I am surely not covering the mic with my finger or any other body parts ; ) So it must be the mic and not me causing the problem. For the time being I am still chasing someone experienced who could do the soldering for me... In the meanwhile I have flashed my ROM from 3VO.2.80.092509 to 3VO.3.50.033010, just to see whether this might be a software porblem. Flashing went well but problem remained. You are right pointing out that the MIC might be absolutely OK, as it sometimes functions well, and this might indicate that the problem is with the connection of the mic with the board and not the mic itself. However if I take the phone into pieces, then I would like to get it done, so I might still order this tiny mic on the internet. Out of curiosity: does anyone knows whether these mics are compatible with each other or not: I saw many Motorola (e.g.: V3) mics that look exactly as the HTC S620 mic, but I don't know whether they are really the identic.

For the time being I use my BT headset till I (hopefully) manage to solve this issue.
[HTC Excalibur] tobbbie:
For a start, I would stay with HTC devices. All the older ones I have disassembled (typhoon, hurricane, tornado, excalibur, vox) share the same microphone (at least from the looks). Earpiece looks identical for all except the vox, ring-speaker looks identical for the 3 candy-bars while excalibur and vox seem to have the same as well.

Buying spare parts is usually more expensive than getting a used device with a broken screen or otherwise damaged. I have two definitely ruined boards (Tornado with a dead LCD interface + Hurricane with intermittent shut off) and some Typhoon parts that can not make a complete device.

Never soldered anything on the PBA - it is really delicate and if you spoil anything the board is gone. Possibly try to record something with the PBA accessible and apply some force to the mic while doing so. This should reveal if there is problem with soldering.
[HTC Excalibur] antic323:
Many thanks for the help tobbie.

I will give a try and see how the mic would respond for such a "treatment". In the meanwhile I found a funny forum response from a guy who replaced a PCB soldered SonyEricsson W880 mic without a rework station, by just using a gas butane torch:

"I just managed to replace it. It wasn't so difficult.

First you have to unsolder the mic on the PCB (I used Gas Butane Torch from B&Q:) as I havn't got a Rework Station)

After that I found some old mic laying in my draw from samsung. I soldered it to the PCB using two thick copper wires

ps. If yo damage a track on the PCB you can solder a positive to the capacitor on the other side of the PCB."

Well it sounds a bit weird, anyway I would still go for an experienced expert with a rework station and proper equipment for replacement.

Danke und tschuss
[HTC Excalibur] antic323:
Last night I dissambled my HTC s620 (it was a bit harder then I thought) and got to the mic, which is under a small rubber case, I cleaned a bit the surroundings, checked the contacts, but from the first sight everything seemed to be tight and fixed, still I pressed the mic a bit but no better mic functionality, actually now I can only here everything said in the mic very-very low and from last night there was no occasion when I could record with normal sound level. This might still indicate bad contact. Anyway, I will get now a replacmenet mic on Ebay and try to replace it. Will report whether it has really solved my problem.

The mic has the following numbers on it: S777 261, I don't know whether these types of mics are really compatible (I assume that they are - not only within the HTC brand but also with similar Motorola mics), anyway I will not go for a cheaper V3 mic but buy one which is advertised as an HTC S620 mic.
[HTC Excalibur] amiloicram:

[General Topics] eric0668:
Has anyone come in touch with numbers of the format xxx?xxx?xxxx

Might it have something to do with SIM cards.

It comes up on my Samsung Vibrant, when I message someone. When I type Vin, for example for vince and all the names with that start show up, his mobile number I need shows up HOWEVER one other number I need is the one formatted like the above. Not just him. Numerous people which leads me to believe it is a SIM card number or something that is nothing to worry about

Next, this has something to do with the Samsung Buddy Widget Icon I am using.

I am fully capable of putting all of the contacts on. If I put all contacts with Mobile numbers, NO PROBLEM. However, I then thought, I had to put a contact with multiple numbers on , but make sure their mobile number is listed FIRST. This had worked once. But now, it doesn't matter where their mobile number is, I have put it first, second, etc , and when I text some people it texts their home number.

If anyone can help...Thanks so muchh

You could write a text-mode application and just compile as a bare executable (not an apk). Just add that to your startup script (does android use init.d?), and it will be invisible to most people. You'll need root, most likely. (might be able to push over adb, then run via shell. Not sure what the permissions are on some things).
