[Hero CDMA General] Zardos66:
I don't know why. I've switched between Fresh, very blue 2.2 and stock. My signal seems to be degrading badly. I've tried updating my PRL multiple times. I just don't get it.

My mind is full of what.

Swyped from Sprint HTC Hero via XDA App
[Hero CDMA General] Whosdaman:
Run the Shipped RUU, and then do an RTN reset by typing in ##786#, then hit Menu then reset. Type in your msl and that will restore your network settings
[Hero CDMA General] Zardos66:
Sounds like a big reset button. Which is OK. I'll give this a shot.

Looks my phone is stuck in a boot loop now anyway. :D
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
the hero is known for having a bad signal. google it, it's a defect that was never fixed by htc. when i had my evo for a short time i had a perfect signal, then i go back to the hero and it's the same crap signal & slowness because of radio pulling.
[Hero CDMA General] Zardos66:
Ran the reset and everything. The phone's signal problem seems to be fixed. On top of that the phone seems to be runing a lot better than it has in a long time. It's like a new phone. Woot.
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
ive owned 5 hero's and all of them had bad signal. ive reset my data profile 10x and still no luck.
[Hero CDMA General] Whosdaman:
Your welcome ;)
[General Questions and Answers] xxcensorredxx:
I am very new and have since udated to Buufed and now my slingbox will not load in HTC Hero CDMA. I was wondering if anyone may know how to troubleshoot or find a way to flash.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petervgijn:
does anybody know the registry entry to remove the auto lock option? it is quite annoying when I use the phone as navigator and it locks every 10 mins.

the option is grayed out in the security screen.

I did search in the forums but could not find an answer

Peter
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
check the options in settings menu all settings system power

It is probably set to turn off when on external power after 10 mins.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rumpleforeskin:
phone auto locks when screen goes off, so dissabling the lock will not solve your problem because the screen will still go off and that makes navigator hard to see :D

What you need to do is find an option to keep the screen alive from your navigator program.

Tomtom and copilot should do this automastically
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petervgijn:
hm. it fails with tomtom. every 10mins the screen is gone, and I have to unlock it. has anybody got an idea? i still believe it is a registry entry, but I can't find it....
[Droid Incredible General] GoghAndroid:
Grrr... do not know what to, came with box and everthing so I did not expect it to have a bad ESN. Is it worth paying someone to flash to Cricket then Re-Craigslist it for Cricket only. I rooted my exsisting Eris but have no way to test if settings I make for DIC to Cricket will work.

Any ideas or opinions? Besides flames for being an idiot.
[Droid Incredible General] jdkoreclipse:
Can you return it to the idiot that sold it to you
[Droid Incredible General] GoghAndroid:
Trying to, he is on the otherside of town and of course will not email back. I about died when they said I couldn't activate.
[Droid Incredible General] tats_06:
That's why it's always good to meet right at VZW and have them check the ESN right on the spot....the dude probably stole it and sold it. He may also have called you from a payphone...Good luck getting a hold of him. :(
[Droid Incredible General] cantare:
If it really is lost or stolen, I bet the actual owner would like to have it back. Won't VZW help with this? Any identifying data on the phone?
[Droid Incredible General] jitajt:
the police should be able to help you, as it is illegal to sell stolen goods. or wait six months for verizon to take it off the blacklist.
[Droid Incredible General] shoman24v:
Find out who owns it and give it back, that would be the right thing to do. You can't use it anyway. Try to work something out with the owner.
[Droid Incredible General] Kipphh:
Once a ESN is blacklisted I though even VZW couldnt remove it? So even if they got the phone back it would be useless
[Droid Incredible General] GoghAndroid:
My assumption is the phone was reported lost then replaced, found then sold.
[Droid Incredible General] the tree:
for what it is worth, I was a VZW store manager for years until just a few weeks ago when I left for a new job.

they can track the ESN back to whoever owned it, they will be able to contact that person for you, and tell them that a person has thier phone and they can contact you if they wish, and they will give that person your number. they will not give you the person's number(legal reasons obviously).

OR

a more likely situation, the guy who sold it to you used what is called a lost, stolen, damaged upgrade. many store managers use it to get a customer a device they want(like the wanted a droidX). this automatically puts thier old device on the LSD list. if it is on there you can really be VERY nice and butter up the store manager and don't be a douche and yell at them...and they can call into CS and have it taken off the list sometimes.

anyways, good luck, sorry you got screwed.
[Droid Incredible General] Kipphh:
Guess I was wrong lol
[Droid Incredible General] tats_06:
The thing is that the guy already paid for it, so it just sucks...I would suggest:

-File a police report

-Try to get a hold of the guy and meet with him (or with police, so he tells truth)

-Make him refund the money and then try to give it back to the person or VZW (I am sure the original owner has a different phone now)

It is tough but just sad.
[HD2 General] nimrod_axl:
this is what happed, i flashed the CLeanEX ROM WWE_6.5.X_DsE_ML_V3.5, my screen was still working, then i tried restoring my contacts though PIM backup, it stopped responding, so i removed the battery, then booted it up again,it was still working, then i decided to rollback to my previews ROM which is CleanEX hyper ROM 11.5 coz it was stable, first i did a task 29 then flashed it, after flashing, i pressed the vol up/down to hard reset, after the hard reset, it booted normally, but when i tried navigating with the screen, it was not responding, all the hard buttons where working fine, except the screen, i did task 29 again and flashed touch-X-treme NEW ROM 235XX, the screen is still not working, tried, task 29 and flashed the stock rom 1.66 wwe, still not working, by the way i i have HSPL 1.42, and radio 2.10.50.26, can someone please help me :(
[HD2 General] TrevorMcCauley:
I'm sorry if this is the wrong section to be posting this...but!

I was sitting at a buddies house waiting for my brother to come pick me up...my brother called me to say he was on his way, I got off the phone, set it in my lap. 5 minutes later I see his truck, so I stood up not realizing my phone was still in my lap...thought it was in my pocket. At first it didn't even realize I dropped it, I thought my friend next to me dropped his phone or something. Then I heard "Oooooo, damn that sucks." I looked down and there's my not even a month old hd2 chillin' on the ground with a cracked screen. So yeah, that happened about 30 minutes ago haha.

I got home and did a little research on what the warranty covers...

http://member.america.htc.com/download/web_materials/QSG/HTC_HD2/091017_Leo_HTC_WWE_QSG.pdf

Thats the quick start guide..and this is what it says.

Instantly I was like...fuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkk. So what can I do about this.. I went looking for replacement screens cause I was just going to replace it myself, I had to do the same thing with my ipod touch and it was pretty easy. It was like $30 to replace my ipod screen so I thought well it shouldn't be too costly. Ended up the screen would be like $65 to replace...which I don't got that kind of money, I'm 15 with no income lol. I haven't told my mom yet cause I wanted to know what I'm dealing with. So pretty much I'm asking if this is my last resort..to really have to spend $65 to replace it. Or is there a different way of dealing with this...Well I'm looking forward to reading your posts, hopefully I get some good news hah.

Here's the damage.

I did pretty good, right? Haha
[HD2 General] edsonbarron5:
dang dude that sucks, that happend to my friends a few days ago too, but yeah dude thats like the last thing you can do, you sure you havent found anything lower priced on ebay? oh and mow some lawns u could get some cash :P
[HD2 General] TrevorMcCauley:
Damn..........ok haha well im gunna go search for the cheapest one I can find, maybe some other people might know. Hahah **** that I dont even get paid to mow my own lawn.
[HD2 General] TrevorMcCauley:
Bump...I'm just curious to know what other people have to say about this.
[HD2 General] edsonbarron5:
Lmao yeah me niether, cheap mom :P. btw is it just the glass thats cracked or is it your lcd thats busted too?
[HD2 General] mvaughan06:
this happened to my fiances phone. pissed me off pretty good. i have messed with a couple other phones and ipods and such, so i figured i'd try to do the replacement. i watched a 8 min vid on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdihThJFyz4) of a guy replacing the busted digitizer (glass) and it seemed pretty damn involved. the replacements were all about $65 but i figured i'd look into having a pro do it.

i live in the saint louis area, and called a well known local phone repair shop (wireless toyz) and they said they won't even touch the hd2 and evo, and i'm assuming the new droid x as well. the tech claimed their district manager wont allow them to do it because they had only done ONE so far and they screwed up a lot more stuff when they got it opened up. these guys work on A LOT of phones, and they had trouble with it.

i called another repair shop and he said $130 total, and he was actually in the middle of repairing one at the time (digitizer and lcd). he was the only guy i could find in stl that would work on it. another company quoted me $100, but he has only worked on iphones and was 40+ miles away from the house.

good luck, that sucks. hope you've got insurance, nobody will cover that on a warranty. tmobile's insurance (which i canceled!) wanted $130 for the deductable, but they'll just send you a brand new phone with another 1 year warranty. i didnt have insurance, and its costing me $130, and now since a 'non preferred' tech has worked on it, i'm assuming my warranty is void. :mad:
[HD2 General] TrevorMcCauley:
Its just the glass. Thank god, lol I can still use my phone until I find a way to get $100. Cause I guess If I replace the screen myself it voids the warranty so i'm just gunna save up money and have t-mobile send me a new phone. I'm not even sure what the exact price is gunna be.

I hope I have insurance, if my mom didnt buy it im gunna make her pay for my new phone haha. Cause I wouldve bought it, and she made me pay her back for this stupid phone lol.
[HD2 General] maxpower097:
Realize your local phone repair specialist was hired off of Craigslist for $9 an hour because he could solder. Its not surprising they screw up more hten they fix. I think the reason they don't mess with these phones is 1. The LCD prices are higher then normal phones, 2. Its pricey as hell if you screw up and have to replace the phone, 3. Not to many manuals or walkthroughs out yet. Chances are your just as qualified as they are. If they had someone that really knew their stuff repairing phones they would go out on their own and just buy broken phones then sell them themselves and make 6 times the money.
[HD2 General] mvaughan06:
the shop i took mine to is called green mobile (greenmobileman.com)

the guy knows his ****. he's the owner of the franchise, theyre trying to expand nation wide. all they do is sell phones that they've parted together from other broke phones. he doesn't buy new parts on the phones that he sells, they're completely recycled. i understand what you mean by "the guy hired off craiglist," but i believe this guy isn't one of them.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
No insurance I assume? This is exactly why I pay 6 bucks a month or whatever for the insurance because they replace it no matter what you do.
[HD2 General] the7thson:
I've done this too, but I had insurance through my credit card and they replaced my phone at no charge (going through T-Mobile's insurance costs a deductible, but it's well worth it if you don't have a better option). Sorry for your misfortune..
[HD2 General] r2d2guy:
I had the same thing happen to me. I called HTC and they were able to fix it for $50. Good luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] muffmaster:
Morning!

Ok I reflashed my SGS with I9000XWJM2 yesterday, all went OK.

The problem is, the phone doesn't ask for my PIN code and therefore don't register to my GSM/3G network!

I tried removing the SIM-card and put it back in, but still it doesn't ask for my PIN code.

What's up with this?! :confused:
[HD2 General] itzstevo:
I'm using stock rom on the t-mo hd2 & saw news that they updated their network to the hspa+ in the Long Beach area. I was wondering if any one seen the speed incerease that live in or around the area. i'm getting max about 400kbs if that.
[HD2 General] chadster214:
San Fernando Valley, Ca

I saw this speed last night.. I did not see it browsing on the phone itself.. My Internet service provider had their system down and I have to use my phone to tether.. hooked it up (USB) and I was surprise how fast my connection.. so I did a www.mobilespeedtest.com test and there I saw 7000kbps speed!! at one point I even see it 8000kbps. on a wireless tethering I was getting 6000kbps
[HD2 General] ryan562:
im only getting 400kbps dl and a notably faster upload at 750kbps. no noticeable changes in speed here on the westside of lb as I have tested both my hd2 and vibrant.

Sent from Samsung Vibrant using XDA App
[HD2 General] Ashwm:
Wow, So Cal. Near Arcadia.

My house is in a weaker spot (On both AT&T and T-Mo),

T-Mo 1 month ago used to be appx. 400k/s~700k/s

Now is close to 5000k/s !!

Appx. 10X more!!

PS. Max I got with AT&T is Appx. 1500k/s
[HD2 General] itzstevo:
I guess Long Beach isn't fully active yet. Been testing it all around Long Beach area. Still the same result. Those with the 5mbs+ download did you really see a different or was it just random spike when you ran the test?
[HD2 General] astross89:
orlando, fl with hspa+ tethering I downloaded at 4 megs. I love it.
[HD2 General] gattaca714:
It suppose to be in Anaheim now too....we will see. Right now I see a speed of 1.5 MB on speedtest.net
[HD2 General] chadster214:
HSPA+

has anyone seen this speed on the phone browser?? I only see it when I tether.. i'm getting 777kbps running mobilespeedtest on Opera.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Try using www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/. It'll only work in IE on your phone, but I think it gives more reliable results
[HD2 General] omega552003:
I think opera is a server side renderer browser. Same with skyfire.

Thanks for using Mobile Speed test, your results are below:

God Loves You. This Prayer is 4U ??? last time to that sitetool LOL.. :cool:
[HD2 General] assface2009:
using mobile speed test I get around 5 to 13mb/s on a 7mb test depending where I am.
[HD2 General] brucegil:
Be glad someone loves you. :) That "ad" is certainly no worse than some others you could get.

The real question for me is whether Mobile Speed Test is as accurate as some of the other websites referenced in this thread.
[HD2 General] assface2009:
yes im kind of curious as well, tethered to my pc, I was getting 30mb down speed with a 7mb test

[HD2 General] ocboi2003:
T-Mo HSPA+ in Orange County (HB/FV)

I do know the speeds in the OC have increased... Or at least I think they have? At work, cell reception in Santa Ana has gone down a little.

Using Mobile Speed Test.

Speeds from my phone (2MB) - 771kbps, 1430kbps, 1724kbps.

Tethering my phone to my laptop (2MB-5MB) - 7692kbps, 20408kbps

Even a few more numbers close to my highest, - 34356kbps See image.

Aren't we supposed to get a consistency in speeds, but particularly more speed when using my phone then tethering it. :confused:

2nd Tier Support is looking into it...
[Windows Mobile] pongskie:
Hi again guys! I have this problem with the rom i'm customizing. Everytime I launch the camera it says "Unable to start camera. Not enough memory"...

I'm new to cooking and I'm still in the learning process. Please help me with this. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile] icke:
What taskmanager are you using? If standard HTC taskmanager, try this:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\TaskManager]

"SkipAK4Camera"=dword:00000000
[Windows Mobile] Laurentius26:
What device are you cooking for and which camera are you using?
[Windows Mobile] pongskie:
I'm cooking a rom for a Leo, i use Camera v6.26.20121425.00..

still can't figure this out..

When i tried to make a new kitchen and copy all my ext there the camera launches but the restart after customization on first boot is not working anymore. I'm search for fixes with this or anything related but still no luck.
[Windows Mobile] Laurentius26:
Sorry I don't understand mate, you launch the camera while device customisation isn't done yet?

If it's caused by device customisation I would have a closer look at the provxmls if they contain some camera presets.

First packages I would check are:

* Operatorpkg

* ProjectDefault_A

* ProjectDefault_B

* ProjectDefault_C

Another check is ExtendedPkg - config.txt to see if there isn't a .cab launched which could cause this.

Also I don't know if you are using a mixture of packages but try to keep them as much as possible from one source.
[Windows Mobile] pongskie:
Sorry Sir Laurentius26 if I'm not clear. After flashing my cooked rom, I tried to test if the camera is working but then when i tried to open it the error pop up telling "Unable to start camera. Not enough memory".

I got the the ext package from the later rhodium pack but the camera wont work if i used the one that was added from there so i replaced it with the one from 3.02 ext pkgs. I really got confused with this because it's my first time to cook a rom for leo. As of now I'm still reading things about cooking.

Sorry for all of this, I really am new to this.
[Windows Mobile] Laurentius26:
No problem and you don't have to say 'Sir' amigo. :)

I'm only trying to point you in the right direction.

What you can do is check the config.txt I suggested and see what's in there.

The provxmls you can compair with a stock working Leo rom.

I use a application named 'compair it' to do that.

You can compair bought provxmls side by side and see if there are any differences in camera presets.

http://www.grigsoft.com/wincmp3.htm

About the packages from Rhodium, experiment and replace the multimedia ones as well with the 3.02 source you have.

It's just quesing for me but maybe the following:

* MHub

* Media Toolkit

* DShow

* Picture Enhancement

* App Service

* HTC Application

* HTCUtil

* Power

* PowerOffwarning

* SensorSDK

* Resourceproxy

I've had the same problem as you with the camera in past but unfortunatly I don't remember what it was. :(

Did you apply tweaks to the camera which could cause out of memory issues?
[Windows Mobile] pongskie:
Yes i have applied some tweaks but it was working before then suddenly it didn't. I think i know why this happened. Before the error occurs, I have read about sys packages that you can recmod so I tried it. After that I found the bug with all ringtones, my rom doesnt recognize ringtones anymore. Back then I try removing the recmods from my kitchen, btw i'm using OsKitchen, so i uncheck the ones that i have recmodded. After that the error occurred. I saw only now that there's a recmod cache. I tried to replace it with the fresh recmod cache that only contains the needed recmods to boot the rom. I'm still building the rom now and will flash and check if the error is still there. I'll update here whatever I found out after.
[Windows Mobile] Laurentius26:
Ringtone problems and camera problems are mostly caused by the wrong Dshow. :)

Don't use recmodding to much and keep everything modulair as it's.
[Windows Mobile] pongskie:
OK that's noted mate! Will let you know what happens after flashing the rom. Still waiting for it to finish building.

Thanks! :D
[Windows Mobile] pongskie:
After removing the recmod cache, still when i try to launch the camera it says that there's not enough memory. I will try to replace the Dshow with the one from 3.02 ext pack.
[Windows Mobile] Laurentius26:
But your rom still boots isn't?

DShow is more important then the recmodding as it contains the codecs to play your audio and video files.

I don't understand why you didn't follow my advise in the first place, it would have saved you another flash. ;)
[Windows Mobile] pongskie:
The rom still boot, everything works fine except for the following:

I try replacing the dshow but still the problem is there. And also when I type from the keyboard there are no words in the suggested word box when XT9 is activated.

Also when I go to All settings>Personal>Buttons.. there are no buttons to assign. I have included the reg keys for removing the redirect but still there are no buttons to assign there.

If still the problem is there, I think i need to make a new one and start from scratch again. I'm running out of ways to try to fix this.

and btw, was the number of times you flashed a rom in your phone is affecting it? or does it have any effects?
[Windows Mobile] Laurentius26:
Are the ringtones working?

I asume that you use a Leo dialer and not the Rhodium?

Go back to my previous post with suggested packages and replace them with the 3.02.

If your rom boots why should you start all over again?

About your last question.

Wild ques 5 times a day x 365 days. :D

It doesn't affect, I'm cooking for about 8 years now. ;)

I must go now, goodluck and I will check later your progress. :)
[Windows Mobile] pongskie:
Thanks mate! I'll try to fix this! I'll keep you posted here what will happen next.
[Windows Mobile] pongskie:
After trying a couple of times the problem still exist. I have tried to make a new kitchen but then the "Unable to start camera. Not enough memory" error appeared again. I think it's in my reg tweaks. I'll try not to add those and see that happens.
[Windows Mobile] pongskie:
It is confirmed. The error was triggered by the reg keys that I have included. Still trying to find out which one of the reg keys are doing it.

Edit: After adding few apps, the error was there again. I'll try to figure out what really causes this problem.... As of now still unsolved..
[Windows Mobile] pongskie:
Solution..

Laurentius was right, I got the camera working but I have remake my kitchen first before it worked. By the time I compiled everything in my new kitchen, I tried my very best to keep everything from one source. Then slowly one by one replacing what needs to be replaced.

I got all the apps and the reg edits in and the camera is still working.

Just always be careful in adding tweaks, that's also one of the main reason why the camera didn't launch.

This gives a clear solution to the problem mention in the thread Title.

Thanks,

Pongskie

Thanks to Sir Laurentius26!

Edit: I will change the title of the thread to solved now.
[HD2 General] GLO:
Hi Everyone,

Is anyone using Pocket Informant on their HD2? I want to know how well it integrates with SENSE?

I am content with the current calendar management within the HD2 (im using Energy CHT Rom) but there is alot of recommendations to use Pocket Informant as the PIM.

Can Pocket Informant still work with SENSE and does Pocket Informant just use the standard Outlook Mobile Data?

Im hoping that there is some Task management that PI can improve on too!

Thanks!
