When experiencing any kind of problems its always usefull to post what you was doing before the problem occured. With no other information, there is no way to do any kind of propper trouble shooting.

Its like droping your car at a garage, say it has problems and walk away. Was it that you ran out of gas, did you battery failed or the engine, is it only a lightbulb that doesnt work. A car mechanic wont be able to help you with the car problem cuz he dont know what kind of problem you were experiencing

Try to recharge your phone by default loader (not by pc-USB) for a few hours and try to boot again. Or try entering boot loader while pressing volume down and power on after a few hours of loading.
[HD2 Accessories] oops675:
I agree.

The issue has been posted like a telegram being sent to a grandchild for her nanny's funeral...!!

No one will probe you for your issues. You need to provide as many details as to how you r***ed your HD2..!!

Hi

i have pretty much the same problem. I got this phone on ebay because someone tried to put another rom on it and failed due to an power failure (thunderstorm).

When i connect the phone to the computer via USB, it recognizes a Qualcomm CDMA MSM Driver but cannot install it.

About the phone:

No lights, no bootloader, nothing. It becomes warm while charging so i assume the hardware is not faulty. I guess the bootloader is broken.

Do you have any idea how to save this phone?
[HD2 Accessories] DN41:
i had once a similar issue...

i flashed and failed (not really, cause it works again :D )..

everything was the same only that i could get access to bootloader (and so my leo booted up).

but when it was powered off and i connected it to my pc, it also recognized a qualcomm device...

badly, that doesnt help you...

i have no plan how to get this work again...if the phone doesnt turn on...

maybe its time for a prayer.

[HD2 Accessories] DemonLoader:
I just found this thread, and hoping someone has come up with an answer, though I havn't actually searched the threads yet as i just got the phone today, cause someone bricked it trying to unlock it (I assume because his only clue was I might need to flash a different rom). But its the same symptoms, no lights, dosn't show charging, attempts to install a qualcomm CDMA MSM driver when connected to windows pc.

Is there a solution?

Thank you in advance for your replys.

Hello xda folks, i'm currently using my beloved touch pro 2 but wanting to uupgrade to HD2 for a long time now, i was wondering what can you suggest, HD2 or Desire? i would also love to be able to boot for android, i could have gotten the evo 4 but i live in ASIA and there is no GSM version of it. Any inputs/ideas are greatly appreciated. Can the HD2 handle the daily use for android? Fell in love with the Big screen on HD2 but ive tried desire and it kicks *ss :) any idea or inputs will really help
[HD2 General] evolutionqy7:
you can dual boot android on hd2..its not completely finished and still has a few issues but been using it for day 3 now and no crash or problems
[HD2 General] wickedjinx9H:
would you suggest hd2 over desire? ive heard of horror stories on the keypad for hd2, but im sure desire is just the same since there is no dedicated keyboard like tp2
[HD2 General] evolutionqy7:
personally i would wait for the HTC Desire HD (Ace) which should come out in mid september apparently...

i probably could guarantee you, you wont use WinMo alot as i dont :) if u dont like it you can always get the HD2 ;D its still a one of best phone even after 10 months from launch and will be for a long time.
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
There are so many of these threads popping up, just get a Desire and be done with it. The HD2 will never run Android as well as a native Android phone and most people looking for/ used to it just ***** and moan about WM 6.5/6.5.x.

Or as someone else mentioned, if you can wait, see what becomes of the Desire HD.

I personally would take Windows Mobile over Android at the moment, I love this hunk of junk OS we have, I really do.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
I completely agree with this statement... If you want to use android full-time, get a native android phone. People keep thinking that just because they have an android port running on the HD2 that it will run as well as a phone designed for android, but look at the history of these android ports... it's nothing new getting android to run on a winmo phone. They have android running GREAT on the HD2, but it's still an unofficial port and will never run as well as a phone designed for android. The drivers aren't optimized and we don't have a giant companie's expensive developer's to to develop it. Not saying our devs aren't doing an excellent job, cause they are... but they don't have the time or resources HTC does.

Personally, I think the HD2 is the best phone out... but I still prefer WinMo. I also love android, and I love to be able to use android on my phone as well. It's awesome to have my powerful winmo phone that can also boot into android when I want. But I bought the phone for WinMo... if I was gonna use android most of the time, I would buy an android phone. The HD2 is never gonna run android as smoothly and as stable as a native android phone, and no one should realistically expect it to.
[HD2 General] sausagedog:
i was in the same boat,hd2 or desire i picked desire main reason was size of screen and the fact that one day it will have Android on it
[HD2 General] dazza9075:
HD2 with latest ROM looks amazing, runs amazing and is stable, the only reason id even consider Android is the app stores, there is no functional difference in my opinion and as such, if i were you, id choose by the hardware alone, all this WM bashing is BS, a decent ROM (i use Energy) works perfect. That said, im not bashing Android, im simply saying it doesnt offer anything new, its the same, except you can download hundreds more c**p in it.

Pin assignment:

|----|-----|-----|-----\

|----|-----|-----|-----/

4____3____2_____1

1 - audio left - white

2 - audio right - red

3 - video - yellow

4 - ground - Shield

Hi guys

Anyone able to help me confirm the pin assignment of TV cable?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] gshklover:
My experiments

I've tried an iPod cable which has the following pin assignment:

4. video

3. ground

2. audio 2

1. audio 1

It didn't work right away.

But when pulled away a bit (so that the contacts shift by one), it worked in mono with audio 2 serving as video. My conclusion was that indeed, seems that galaxy S supposed to have the same pinout as you've described above (BTW: that is also what seems to be the pinout for Nokia cable).

So far though, re-soldering the 4 and 3 pins on my cable didn't seem to work... Haven't found the reason yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] hons:
Buy a standard 3.5mm 4 pin to RCA output cable will do.

The audio-video arrangement could be different, but you can easily sort them out.

Just plug the 3.5mm jack into the phone, active the TV out, set the TV AV input and try the yellow, red and white into the videl(yellow) input terminal.

1 of the cable (might not be yellow) will work. then the remaining 2 will go into the left (white) & right (red) audio input.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] anamika:
My nokia tv out cable works perfectly!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ABM30:
Right pin assignment

First: THANK YOU for the information.

I can confirm, this is the RIGHT one:

1 - audio left - white

2 - audio right - red

3 - video - yellow

4 - ground - Shield

This is WRONG (this was the assignment for the cable find in one FOTO-VIDEO store! that I have modified according with pin assignment from above and then it worked!):

1 - audio left - white

2 - audio right - red

3 - ground - Shield

4 - video - yellow

:(Bricked HD2 Help......

No Boot loader

Not charging

No lights

Nothing by pressing vol down and power buttons

Nothing by pressing both vol buttons and reset button

Turned off for hours without battery and pressed power button for long time to drain the battery and turned back on.

Nothing works any more ideas.

But when I connect it to my laptop it does make a notification sound that a new device is connected and is called the qualcomm cdma technologies msm.

If I have bricked it and no solutions and I have warranty should I call HTC or my insurance company?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigmatl:
Something's up that just has me curious. In trying out the new Evo roms, I noticed that while using Dolphin Browser HD and playing a flash video, when I press home or power, in OMJ's rom, the flash video will silence. In the latest AVA rom, the video will continue playing in the background including the sound. So I'm guessing that this is a setting related to Flash that Dolphin doesn't control? Does anybody know how I can change this setting? It would sure be nice to be able to go back and forth once in a while. Two examples of this, (1) One might be watching the annoying orange and need to stop to talk to somebody but continue. (2) One might be watching the Big Brother Live feeds and maybe put the phone in their pocket and use headphones.

Even if the setting isn't so straight forward, perhaps ediging an xml file somewhere on the system, I would really like to know how to change this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is actually for pretty much all Froyo ROMs, trust me.

The only solution I've found is to kill the process which is running the Flash video. Really. There's not much else you can do. :(

Try booting it with out the memory card.

Also check the pins that make contact with the battery. Make sure they are not bent up.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gehlersjr:
Call your insurance because you have already voided your warrantee and htc is probably gonna get you, for it therefore you will be buying a replacement. You say the comp recognizes it, does the HD2 have something akin to adb for android? If so have you tryed getting into the phone through command prompt, and can you try reflashing a recovery image.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Try pressing MENU 1st to see what happens, if nothing, then yes it is ok to pull the battery out to restart.

Use BTDAG's guide linked in my sig to flash your custom ROM. Read it all through 1st, then start at the top.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] btdag:
Dalvik is a linux cache store - do you really need to know more - wikipedia/google for it.

Yes you need to wipe as each new rom relies on different data.

[Desire General] alastor2004:
First off, I've had WM phones for years and flashed them to bits but I'm pretty nooby when it comes to Android, so bear with me.

Alrighty then, after all the hoo-ha with the last update I've held off debranding my Orange Desire for all this time - I got mine on Orange launch day so I've had to put up with the Orange crap for a long while. Basically all I want to do it debrand and get FroYo, I'm not interested in rooting yet but I can't really afford to unlock it (student loan is getting very low this summer). I understand I need a Goldcard etc and I'm happy enough with the procedure.

My question, when the 2.2 RUU appears, will it lock my Desire if I flash it with the Goldcard?

edit - Another question, if I flash to an old debranded ROM, will I have to run through the problematic updates before I'm offered the 2.2 OTA update, hence locking my phone?
[Desire General] aindow:
Use your goldcard for debranding and updating and you should be fine. Personally I would just buy an unlock code and debrand to an older ROM and then do any OTA updates.

Mine is Orange debranded and updated just fine when using the goldcard.
[Desire General] alastor2004:
Thanks for the reply, I'll wait for the RUU and see how it goes I guess.

Anyone know how long it usually takes for the RUU to appear after the OTA is put out?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Qazz~:
As title says, it used to work properly with both left and right headphones working properly, however now only the right earpiece outputs sound no matter what I try, played music, games, video and all have the same problems.

Could have been something I did with the phone, could have accidentally made it output in the right earphone only. if so, how do I fix it...

Tried other pairs of earphones and all experience the same problems too, the contact should be working as when i insert a earphone, i can hear the electrical contacts being made on the earphone
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
You can isolate instantly whether it's software or hardware by just reinstalling the firmware.. Then you'll know for sure (when I worked at a Apple reseller, restoring iPod's was the first action I told everyone to take if they didn't know what was wrong)

But I have yet to have seen any balance controls.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Geryatrix:
Are you using the Samsung earphones that were supplied with the phone? Samsung, and Nokia, use a different configuration to most phones as far as the four-pin socket is concerned, so if you are using any other make, the chances are that only one channel is connected. Also make sure you are using earphones with a FOUR pin plug, not the standard three pin supplied with mp3 players.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kempas:
Standard stereo mini-jack is a universal wiring standard, i.e. tip and two barrel contacts for ground and left/right channels. The fourth barrel contact is usually used for composite video.

If anyone decided to wire their socket differently then you'd never get any earplugs/headphones to work without an adaptor and it would be a totally stupid thing to do.

To the original poster, check whether you've adjusted balance settings to only one side. Not sure how you do that since haven't got mine yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Qazz~:
Using stock headphones, have not changed any settings to output in right earphones only.will try re flashing when I can
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GuestX0057:
This may sound a bit dumb but you checked you actually properly pressed the jack into the socket? Just asking because the first time I listened to something on my SGS I had the same problem just to notice that the socket was actually tight enough so that the jack wasn't completely in, once I pressed it the missing 1-2mm in the whole thing changed :o
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Qazz~:
though that this could have been the problem as well,pushed it all the way in but stop no luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Qazz~:
Reflashed firmware, still have the problem.... This is already the second problem with my phone, if you have been frequenting this forums you would know that i have also posted a problem with my camera.

So gotta bring down to Samsung svc centre again?

Is there any way i can ask for a 1 to 1 exchange since i have gotten a lemon device...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GuestX0057:
Yes I'd assume if you describe to them that some key functions don't work properly they should give you a new one, for instance the audio output isn't only for listening to music but also works as the handsfree socket so it is rather vital. You just got a bad copy so go and ask them
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Qazz~:
Just went down to Samsung svc centre today and described my problems,asked for a replacement and all they replied was "sorry sir, we do not do 1 to 1 exchanges"... Damn was really hoping to get a new phone, anyway now its with them and hope they don't screw anything up with it.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] francescopp:
the sgs ( GT-I9000 ) uses a different type of wiring for the headphones, is the same nokia uses for the N95, the sgs2 headset wont work! the galaxy tabs headsets wont work, the iphone/ipod headsets wont work!!!!! why??? because the wiring is different!! why?? ask samsung!

ok, are you using the same headset? if yes, try to use them in someone else sgs (gt-i9000) if they work then it's your phone, if they don't ask if you can use his headset in yours, if they work then is your headset, just get a new one keeping in mind what i just told you.

if you narrowed it down to your phone being faulty.. (it happened to me too... ) and I just saw that you are waiting for it to be fixed, just wait until you get it back... ( i hope they will fix it for you too)... in my case they changed the logical board, so it's basically a new phone on the inside.

good luck.
[EVO 4G General] goldt:
Just got my EVO replaced with what i was told a new one since within 30 days, i told the girl to let me first check to see if its refurbished but she insisted to activate it first since it is new. Well i go outside and ##768# and it is not refurbished but was activated one month ago, has 210 minutes and 87 calls with 700mg of data used, also a screen protector. I go back and the manager still telling me that its new but they just tested it. Once i told him it had a screen protector he admitted that the phone has been there for a month sort of for testing.

Can someone please tell me what did i get? Is this the floor model or someone else's phone? Not that many calls 87 but still not 0.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Seems like a floor model.
[EVO 4G General] goldt:
Thats what i thought but i don't remember seeing screen protectors on floor models and can you make calls from them? Also it was activated on 6/30, one month after they came out.
[EVO 4G General] sprink0281:
maybe it was a 30 day return that didn't have anything wrong the phone..possibly from someone who worked at that store....who really knows....I would have passed on it though because they lied to you and said it was new and obviously it is not. But that's me, would be different if they were honest and gave you an option of waiting for 1 to come in or take this previously activated 1 now.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
omg I would be livid. They gave you a used phone whether it was on their sales floor or someone else's pocket. If I were you I would make it clear to them you are not stupid enough to fall for their lie.

I hit ##786# on my replacement as the guy was doing some stuff on the computer before he activated it. I told him "oh cool, this is a new unit" and showed him the menu. He **** bricks for a second and said something about how he could get in trouble if someone saw the phone in that menu before its activated.. pfft, whatever dood
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
yea i would take it back and demand they give you a NEW phone. That clearly is a used phone.

[Captivate General] steelforce:
Just got my Captivate yesterday, and set it up to connect to my corporate Exchange account. As part of that, Exchange forced the use of a PIN (when unlocking) as part of the security policy. I realized the built-in Exchange support sucked, so I deleted the account and switchd to Touchdown. I would have expected that removal of the account would have removed the PIN requirements - but it didn't.

I've tried disabling the unlock pattern and re-enabling it, but I still get the PIN entry screen after 15 min of the phone being locked. Is there a way to do it without completely wiping the phone?
[Captivate General] cellgeek:
RoadSync by Dataviz doesn't enforce PIN's on Android.
[Captivate General] steelforce:
That's fine, but I need to figure out how to remove the PIN that has been applied.

You may have to do a system reset. My Exchange server doesn't enforce PIN On my Captivate but it did on my iphone. Weird.
