SMS Problems with HD2

Hi

Thanks for your response. I have already seen your thread on this issue which was very useful.

It seems that the only solution is to use WM6.5 for SMS instead of HTC Sense on the HD2. I will use the Touch Pro 2 for work. The HD2 will be used when I need a phone with a bigger screen, etc. The Touch Pro 2 processor is slower. However it has a keyboard and is overall better for business use. A good alternative to a keyboard does not exist!

Vodafone has been quite helpful in providing replacement phones. However neither Vodafone nor HTC seem to want to admit that there is a problem with the HD2.

Thanks.

[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
cool! if your primary phone is going to remain the TP2, then i strongly suggest playing around with a custom ROM on your HD2 (i recommend NRGZ's energy ROM).

this way, you will have a speedy and clean HD2 with properly integrated NATIVE messaging client and all of its benefits. play around with it and maybe you'll find you can shift to the HD2 for regular/business use. i came from a tytn2 (kaiser) after 2 years of *****in' use and it took me a while to get used to the lack of a hardware keyboard on the HD2. that said, i am now completely accustomed to the HD2's onscreen keyboard and i can type nearly as fast and nearly as accurately on it now as i could on the kaiser's hardware keyboard. still, a hardware keyboard is a hardware keyboard and i can't argue with that!

long story short, if messaging and lack of hardware keyboard is all that stands in your way of 100% HD2 use, then a custom ROM should kill the messaging issue completely and some practice with the on screen keyboard will alleviate the keyboard issues. good luck!

Looked everywhere but have only found a few comments mainly regarding the AT&T network.

I have a AT&T branded Tilt-2 with TP2_Core_Cell_Evo_V3.1_(23127) and am on the T-mobile network.

In my area we have HSDPA and 3G, and my HTC 3G Dash shows those connections and runs from 583K up to 898K.

My Tilt2 on the other hand runs between 36K and a max of 156K (usually its under 50K)

I have tried everything and a ton of different radios and nothing seems to help.

I can't believe I am the only one, and I am sure its in the forum but I havent been able to find it and I have been looking for 2 days now. Does ANYONE know if there is a solution to this or am I stuck with a great looking phone and ROM that is slower than my old HTC Universal.

So I am starting this thread with the keywords in the title to help others find the info/help/cab/settings to fix this issue.

Any help would be appreciated..

Can I assume from the deafening silence that there is no solution and this would be why I couldn't find anything when I was searching all over the forums.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StrangeShadow:
I thought AT&T and T-mobile use different bands for their 3G...haven't met anyone yet that can switch between these two and get the others' 3G service to work on the phone from the other...only Edge.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bmhome1:
Yep, 3G are are different bands and AT&T's unique.

Most likely, hardware limit and T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 version is what you wanted.

However, for my Tilt 2, I use AT&T Prepaid Pay-as-you-go and get full 3G service and for $20 get 30 days of 100MB data at full speed. The Pay-as-you-go offers a $3.00 per day for unlimited calls during 24 hour period when you choose plan.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cdgoin:
But the settings on the phone even show the 2100MHZ band and other stuff.. thought quad band phones were useable on all GSM networks. I guess that must mean the phones are but not the data portion of the phone.

So it would seem I have a really nice looking phone thats about as functional as a Windows 7 computer with a 56K dialup modem. Great...

Anyone on AT&T and have a T-mobile Touch Pro2 that they would like to swap with me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
when you talk about gsm (gprs/edge/2g), there are 4 bands and pretty much all devices can work on those. when it comes to umts (3g/hspa encap) thats where proprietary bands come in. word wide you will have the 900 and 2100 bands, att uses the 850 and 1900 bands, and tmobile uses 1700. what bands a phone is capable of running on depends on the baseband hardware in the phone. theres no way to change this without basically swapping the phone out for the carrier branded device.

cdma like sprint and verizon is another monster...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
They do, but working and working optimally are 2 different things. You should always buy a phone to work on the network you use regularly, and be happy it works at all on others when you travel.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cdgoin:
Live and learn..

I wonder if anyone out there in the community has a TouchPro2 that they got for use on AT&T and would like to swap..?

Can't get 3G Either

I'm using an unlocked HTC Touch Pro 2 (Euro Version) on T-Mobile and can only get Edge. The funny hting is that T-mobile is stumped on the issue even though they've seen that I'm using an HTC Touch Pro 2, not the branded T-Mo version. I just started looking into hardware differences tonight and will post whatever I find. I'm glad you started the thread.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dhondi:
T-Mobile HSPA bands

Just confirmed my suspicions.

The branded T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 operates on HSPA/WCDMA on the following bands: 1700/2100 MHz.

The HTC Touch Pro 2 (unbranded) operates on HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz.

So, if you want 3G, you need to stick with the T-Mobile branded phone.

Wow...I never thought I'd hear myself saying those words. *sigh* =(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ThinkinBig:
I actually have a t-mobile branded HTC Touch Pro 2 I use on ATT, if you really wanna swap I'm totally down for that. My email is jkloep9429@gmail.com shoot me a message and lets work out how to go about this.

My guess is something didn't install correctly or got borked somehow. At any rate, update your superuser and see if that fixes it as the previous poster mentioned. I believe there is also an update to busybox on the market as well.

I have a HTC HD2 Rom version 1.72.110.4, on T-Mobile. When I make or recieve a phone call, there is a vertical slider that is used to access options behind it including the notepad, calendar and speaker.

Is there a registry setting or tweak that will disable the slider so that I have ready access to the options buttons?

Thanks in advance
[HD2 General] jkolner:
You can install BsB Tweak that has a option to disable it.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zulfadrim:
After the replacing of my X1's housing with the new one in the SE Service center I went home gladly with my new X1 housing. I noticed there's an error in signal in my X1 when I was checking my phone at the SE center.. But I thought it was maybe due to poor reception thus I neglected it. (the officer in the SESC say so)

Now I know that there's some new problem arise.. Any idea what might cause this error? the phone can read the Sim card but there is no signal (no connection, no call or no data can be made). i try to check the antenna module, but it seem to be OK (i did not see any problem on it).

the next day i came to the SE center, they said it might be something wrong with the software (since i am used using cooked rom) how come it can make any different while i'm using it before i replace the housing. and they have to take it into the HQ. and guess what, it may take another 6-7 week... WTF :mad:

is there anyone having the same problem with me?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briian_:
Well if you have the tools, you can try openingu p the bottom cover, that little rubber thing where it has the mini sony ericsson logo. Open that rubber up, and you should see a mini screw in the middle, open that up take it out, maybe just give it a quick clean, fit it back properly, and make sure everything is tight and see how that works out.

I've seen/heard a few people having such issue when taking the housing off, and not placing that radio/reception thingy back properly, therefore causing issues with reception.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zulfadrim:
I did it twice, just to make it sure that everything was on their place, also try to flash the ROM, The Radio but still remain the same....

any other suggestion or idea what should I do?:confused::confused:
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melaskalany:
Same problem!

I had disassembled my phone by myself twice; the first time it worked perfectly, the second, unfortunately, it didn't!

I bought a new antenna module for U.S. $10, installed it myself (warranty ended three months ago), walked out of the service centre and voila; I had reception and managed to make a few calls. However, on the way back home, all calls placed while driving dropped every 5km, which means the hand-over between cell towers was failing. The moment I walked home it was dead; no reception whatsoever indoors.

Now the way I see it, this could be due to one of the following two reasons: either the RF power amp failed, which means that most probably the phone needs a new main board (too expensive, not worth it) or something went wrong during the assembly, like the smearing of a sensitive part by skin oil (thus causing a short circuit) or failure to position a connector or multiple ones to connect properly to their respective terminals/connection points.

Upon further investigation, I noticed that my phone wasn't properly grounded; whenever I connected it to a computer to sync using ActivSync or in disk drive mode, I got a small electrical shock (painful though) whenever I touched the phone. This, however, doesn't occur at all when I connect the phone to the wall charger. I disabled USB charging since day 1 of owning my X1i

I believe that the battery cover acts as a ground for the phone electronics; it touches four golden connectors which in turn touch the mini USB port, the GPS/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth antenna, a point on the main board half an inch away from where the loudspeaker is, and the metallic cover placed over the phone RF chips. Failure to ground the phone properly can result in either damaging any of these chips, building up a static charge that affects the antenna performance, or an open-circuit condition for one of the many systems on board.

Since my phone is fully working as a PPC now (PPC functions, Panels, Keyboard, Camera, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc...) and since I get reception outdoors, and since I have a brand new antenna module, I am guessing that either the RF amplifier is dead, or the housing is ****ed up beyond repair (i.e. it can't be aligned perfectly to get perfect contact on all said points) that it's either shorting a connection, or opening one that is vital for the cellular radio to function properly.

So what to do? Well I forced my phone to do two things:

1. Settings > Phone > Band

- Network type: I chose GSM instead of Auto, as we don't have consumer CDMA in Egypt

- GSM/UMTS Band: I chose the correct band for my provider instead of Auto.

2. Settings > Connections > Advanced Network > Disabled HSDAP

What happened? It worked indoors for a minute, and then stopped working again! Frustrating! So what did I do? I ordered a completely new housing off CNN and will attempt to rebuild the damned thing.

I will update you if I find out anything or reach any results with this phone that I love so much and hate more than anything I have ever hated in my life...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melaskalany:
More info!

- During the drive mentioned above, the phone was switching between H, E and G, which means that all three RF chips are, or all components of the whole RF chip if it's one responsible, are working. At one point I got 4 bars of H and call quality was perfect between hand-over failures.

- Before disassembling my phone for the second time, people were complaining about high-pitched static; it can blamed over the mic, the RF (antenna or chip) or humidity levels (which are currently as high as 85%) affecting cellular communication channels.

- Flashing the firmware (R3A Generic UK) and hard-reseting didn't solve the problem.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melaskalany:
More Info!

- The battery cover isn't the phone's ground; it's grounded by being connected to four ground points: the mini USB port metallic frame, the GPS/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth antenna ground, a ground point on the main board and the metallic cover over the sensitive RF chips.

- This is definitely an assembly problem. The reception is great outdoors switching between all bands and speeds. On my drive to work today it worked getting G, E, 3G and H all in 4 bars. The signal, however, is completely unstable, jumping from one speed to another. I am more inclinded now to believe that a new housing will fix this problem. Your housing was probably handled poorly at the service centre, which in turn caused this problem.

My advice is to shake them a little bit and see what they will do.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melaskalany:
A New Housing didn't fix it!

I purchased a new housing from CNN. It came in good condition. The phone looks brand new now but still no signal. I am sending it in for service. I guess I blew up my Power Amplifiers...

Good luck mate! :(
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zulfadrim:
Same problem haa...

I still waiting for a good news from the service center... I have been waiting for a month..

I wish You a good luck too...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fu-raz:
I'm having the same problem. I opened up my phone a few days ago to clean the keyboard. The bottom row wasn't working correctly. Unfortunately after I closed it up again, it wouldn't get any reception (and the keyboard's bottom row was still not working correctly).

So I figured it was the antenna and tried to reposition it. I even removed the rubber layer as described here: http://blog.whitesites.com/How-to-Increase-Reception-on-Sony-Xperia-X1__633958291637656250_blog.htm

Outside I get ok reception, but it's far from stable, inside I get none. And even if I get reception inside, once I pick up the phone, signal drops. So I thought about grounding as well, problem is I even tried rubber gloves and that doesn't solve the problem. I'm afraid replacing the antenna's won't help here and my xperia is dead. Anyone has any other ideas?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melaskalany:
Been there too!

I tried the same solution the blog explained. However, I ended up not getting any signal at all. It's only after I purchased a new cellular antenna+buzzer module that the phone started getting an unstable signal outdoors.

Did you notice any small pieces falling off the main board or the housing? It's either a hardware failure or a simple short/open circuit situation that can be fixed in a blink of an eye!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melaskalany:
Question

Is there any possible way, hardware or software, to test whether all chips on the main board function properly? I tried the diagnosis tool available here but it doesn't check the chips one by one.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melaskalany:
Service Centre

I took my phone to the service centre 6 hours ago. With the new housing on, and new screws that I scored from a secret source of mine, they deemed the phone untouched and serviceable; i.e. it passed for a phone that hasn't been tampered with! :D

They told me to call back in four days. I will keep you guys updated. Cheers!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fu-raz:
I wonder if that'll fix it :) So to summarize you have:

- new housing

- new screws

- new vibramotor

- new antenna

And those things twice and that fixed it maybe?

I guess it's time for a new phone for me :P
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melaskalany:
Vibramotor?

Who said anything about changing the vibration motor? I installed a new antenna + buzzer module; i.e. a new cellular antenna and a new loud speaker (external speaker). The loud speaker is housed within the antenna module. My bad, maybe that part was vague because I never explained it enough.

And yes, it has a brand new housing too. I only installed the lower part though, as the upper part is just fine. Maybe they will fix it man; maybe they won’t I really don't know. I do hope they will fix it though.

I am currently using a backup cheap Nokia and ordered the Sony Ericsson Aspen. If they ever fix my X1 then I can change seamlessly between both phones. If not, then I will just use my X1 as a media/GPS device in my car and an Internet device over Wi-Fi.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zulfadrim:
Lucky you..... if they can fix yours in a few day... since mine has been in the service centre more than a month, without any news...

they said to me that it will take about 6 week...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melaskalany:
What a joke!

The phone remained at the service centre for a week. They called me yesterday, and told me that the phone was fixed and that the total cost was EGP 100 (~U.S. $18). I went over and as soon as I held the phone in my hand to test it, it lost the cellular signal. When placed on the counter, the phone had a constant E signal.

I asked to speak to the manager, who told me that they just reflashed the phone with the latest firmware (Generic UK R3A, which I already had installed). Oh, and before that, he said he was sorry but the phone had a hardware problem and that they don't fix hardware; they only flash firmwares and if that doesn't fix the phone, then the user is pretty much on his own! I refused to receive the phone, so he gave me a refund for my money and promised to have its hardware checked and get back to me in 24 hours!

What a joke, what an f'ing joke! I already regret ordering the Aspen that is due to arrive next week with a friend of mine returning from Paris...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zulfadrim:
OMG...

I do hope that you will get the good news next...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melaskalany:
Bad News!

Deep breath... Ok!

Here is the deal: the service centre officially announced that the fault lies within the Mainboard; i.e. my guess that the Radio Frequency (RF) Power Amplifier Chip is toast was correct. They want to charge 90% of the phone's original retail price (which was EGP 4000 = U.S. $700) for a new Mainboard. I replied that that was impossible. They will contact SE's HQ and get back to me on Saturday to see if they can offer any other alternatives.

I guess that is the end of my ride with the X1. I will sorely miss it; it was a great phone while it lasted. Let's hope that the Aspen won't die on me in a year as well...
[Fascinate General] erunamor:
Maybe it's a stupid question, but if I don't ask it I'll never know :P

Do you think will it be possible to make a mod to the i9000 and use the Fascinate camera & led flash with it?

It seems to be the very same camera but with led, and it's located in the same spot. And in the i9000 disassemle it seems to be space enough. What I don't know if it's a disassembly of the Fascinate to compare spare parts :P

What do you think?

Greetings
[Fascinate General] magickarle:
Well, I guess I was looking for the same question as you since this thread was the first on found on google lol!

It's not a stupid question, what's stupid is samsung not installing a flash on it!

the real question is: is the board compatible to install a flash (ie: does it have the soldering hole to install it).

Someone who already dismantled his could answer us.
[Fascinate General] erunamor:
The camera board (along with the flash) is independent. If the flash can be fitted to the i9000, i think it would be just to plug in the whole board of the new camera -camera itself and flash- (it's just a connector), hopefully. What I don't know if there's enough room in the i900o to put the new board :P The rest it's just to plug in and test. The drivers of the i9000 have some support (in the sources) of flash, so, maybe it's that easy...

We'll know... maybe (i can't see many people interested in this...).
