The wiping part is likely just a built-in Android permission. I know there is a "brick" permsision http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#BRICK which might actually be the way a phone is wiped remotely.

There was another thread about the Flash Lite exploit. It is my understanding that HTC closed the hole that Flash Lite exploited so 2.2 is not rootable even with Flash Lite installed.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Well, my phone has been freaking out a bit lately (Handcent not showing contact pics, Contacts not syncing with FB, FCes here and there, etc.) so I decided to start from scratch and reload everything. I tried all kind of resets (CLEAR STORAGE in FastBoot, Wipe Data, MSL Reset, etc.) and every time my phone loads up, Fresh 3.1.0.1 is already installed with all the apps I had. I understand Fresh being there, but why are all my apps staying?! Because of this, all the problems I've been facing seem to be staying as well.

This is really getting annoying. Anyone recommend a more aggressive alternative to clearing out as much as possible?! I have TB prepared to restore my apps already. The rest can be synced so I don't care.

Thanks in advance...
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
put the engineering hboot from toast's part 2 on your sdcard and run it, it will wipe everything

Although I don't know why wiping everything from your recovery wont do the job.. I've heard Clockwork doesn't always wipe completely but I've never had an issue with ra's recovery
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
I have already done that and tried CLEAR STORAGE without any luck. The third-party apps still remain. WTF! Makes no sense... :(
[EVO 4G General] Kornsaq:
what recovery are you using? Clockwork or Amon
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Amon. 10chars
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
And from the recovery menu selecting "wipe data/factory reset" does nothing?
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
It wipes everything but the apps. The settings, scenes, etc are all gone. But the apps are still there. And so are the conflicts I was getting.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
ahh.. is your sdcard partitioned??

If so then wipe ext also

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] unL33T:
I have had this problem with both Energy ROM and MightyROM.

When I create a new email and start typing in the "To" field, if I pause for a second, which seems to let the phone go looking for addresses/contacts matching the first letter I typed, the email program crashes.

The only way I can send new emails is if the addressee is in my Contact list.

Anyway to fix this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] forster:
If you post a question in Energy ROM thread, you should get answer, well, instantly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DJGonzo:
Or the thread will get sidetracked with another problem :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] unL33T:
Just tried "Plutonium_CHT VIDEO BY D/\SH".

Same issue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] steviewevie:
Works fine for me on EnergyROM. I wonder if your Contacts list is damaged, I bet it doesn't happen if you flash a ROM and then don't restore your Contacts.

Since this is the ROM Development forum, I suggest that you either re-post this on the General forum, or post in the thread for one of the ROMs you have tried this on, preferably the one you're actually running now so that you can see if others have the issue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] unL33T:
Tried about 3 more ROMs and they all had the same problem but I narrowed down the problem to be related to one of my contacts.

I use GMail. When I was in college I made a single contact for my whole class' email list. This means I had one contact with about 18 email addresses in the "Email" field of the contact information. This works great for sending out mass emails to the whole class.

Apparently this would cause Outlook mobile to crash when it went looking for matching contacts/email addresses when typing in the "To" field.

I never encountered this before on my last phone. I'm guessing that was because it didn't autocomplete the address field.

I removed that contact from my list and Outlook doesn't crash anymore. I guess I'll just have to find somewhere else to store my old email list.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bobzero:
I googled and couldn't find any information. My CDMA Touch Pro and my CDMA Diamond both have the stylus sensor, however I can't tell if my newly acquired Fuze has one.

With the CDMA Touch pro, you can actually see a little switch that springs out when the stylus is pulled out. The CDMA Diamond's switch is hidden. I looked at the Fuze and I can't see a switch.

Thanks.

My stylus sensor is physically broken. Has anyone replaced this switch before? Know where to get a spare part?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pleasebugmenot:
Stylus Sensor

Yes, the Fuze does have a stylus sensor which would explain the ability for it to turn on from stylus removal and ability to launch the notes application during a call. The sensor is somewhat a little switch, remove the stylus from its silo, take a flashlight/led light and shine it into the silo and you will clearly see a little switch, which I believe should be the sensor.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bobzero:
When I remove my stylus during a call, despite that feature being enabled, the notpad never opens. This is what initially led me to wonder if the Fuze has a sensor at all. I guess mine may be broken.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bobzero:
I took a look down the silo and can't see anything that looks like the switch I see in my cdma touch pro or diamond. Can another Fuze user please tell me how far away form the bottom of the phone the switch is located?

NVM, I found it. It's on the right side of the silo wall with the screen facing down about 2 cm in.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mfarlow:
It helps if you slide the battery cover off. The switch is located just below where the battery cover meets the case.

The switch breaks very easily. If you've ever forced the stylus into the silo, you've more than likely broken the switch.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bobzero:
Yes, I examined my silo very carefully and I found the spot where the switch is supposed to be, however it seems it has broken off.

Has anyone ever replaced this sensor?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] obaz:
my is broken too. so I bumping tread
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] edsub:
Mine broke the evening I first tried my new Raphael.

I remember a very tiny thingie dropped on the floor but when only 30min later I realized that must have been the notch that operates the switch it was gone.

You can send in your Raphael for warranty but I did not do that as I did not find the hassle (phone gne for 3 weeks at least) to weight against the pro's (working switch).

HTC did not want to ship me a spare notch to fiddle in myself 9wich would be te best/cheapest solution for all.

[HD2 General] praveenkv1988:
I got the 16GB Card with my phone. I first(before first use) removed the SD card and re-inserted it. Then I started the phone.

The settings show "No SD Card". Also, the documents tab shows "SD card is full or missing". Its not detecting the 16 GB Card came with it.

When I plugged this 16 GB to my Laptop using a card reader, it works.

Also, when I inserted a 1 GB Card to the phone, it works.

Is there anybody who face the same?

Can anybody help?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
First, is the phone connected by USB in Disk Drive mode when you're trying to look at the contents of the card? If so, the phone can't see the SD card when you're connected that way. If that's not the case, then follow these steps:

1) Put the card back in the reader on your PC, copy everything off the card into a backup folder

2) Put the card back in the phone, and use the "Format SD Card" option in settings-tools

3) Once it's formatted that way, connect the phone to the PC via USB, choosing the "Disk Drive" option

4) Copy everything back on to the card that you had saved in that folder on your PC
[HD2 General] praveenkv1988:
No. Its not connected to PC.

Also, I cant format the card when it is not detected by the phone.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Then still copy everything off it like I described, and then format it via the card reader on your pc instead of on the phone.

The stock cards in the HD2 are known to often have issues like this...if these steps don't resolve the issue then the next step is to probably just replace it.
[HD2 General] me:
There are some weird WinMo bugs about storage card, have been around for years, and not fixed.

Look at your device with file manager. There may be a folder in main memory called "Storage Card", that isn't really the storage card, and the real storage card is now labelled "Storage Card 2" or something, so links to it won't work.

With file manager, rename the fake "Storage card" folder to anything else. (You can't delete it just yet.)

Then reboot the device. After the reboot, the real storage card should be named "Storage Card" again, and now you can delete the imposter folder.

I don't know if your problem is related to that one, but important to get that info out, for those not aware of it.

(Especially likely to happen on HD2, when connected to the computer with the disk drive option. When so connected, the real storage card cannot be read. Yet, if the system wants to save a file or cache to "Storage Card", it creates a new folder by that name. Later, when no longer connected to the computer, the real storage card is back, it has been renamed, as the new folder took its real name. To get it back right, follow the procedure above.)
[HD2 General] me:
Another possibility just occurred to me. Seems rather obvious, but it has happened to me.

Are you sure you have the card inserted correctly--all the way in?

The first time I reinserted the card after taking it out, booted up my phone, there was no storage card. I just had not inserted it correctly. That is very easy to do on this phone, you think it is inserted all the way, and it is not.

If you haven't experimented with that yet, you really should do so. Make sure the card is pushed all the way in.

has anyone found a fix to the usb debugging with aftermarket chargers issue?

Phone thinks it's plugged in to a PC and won't mount the SD card properly when using a third party charger.
[EVO 4G General] skantman69:
My phone had been acting very weird with the car charger for the last couple days. I even got a different charger. Charges on and off all day. Not sure what causing it. The home charger works fine.
[EVO 4G General] N00dle:
All my chargers charge just fine, it when plugged into any charger other than the HTC wall charger USB debugging turns on and the SD card un-mounts.

Sucks when using custom alarm sounds or trying to bring up files on the SD when charging.
[EVO 4G General] laydros:
I think this is recent, like 2.2 upgrade. I think mine isn't mounting the card, but it goes into usb debugging.
[EVO 4G General] N00dle:
that's just it when you have debugging enabled it will do that. Pain in the ass though and I would think some third party charger makers would have some issues with this too.
[Desire General] sb123:
Hey,

I've got a HTC Desire from O2 UK and it's got O2 splash screen when it loads, but I believe it's unlocked. Here are the following details it's on:

Firmware Version - 2.1-update1

Baseband Version - 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2

Kernal Version - 2.6.29-c8d11160 htc-kernal and18-2 #1

Build Number - 1.20.207.3 CL171460 release-keys

Software Number - 1.20.207.3

Browser Version - Webkit 3.1

Boot Loader - 0.80

Earlier on today, I ran “Unrevoked3" on Linux, which "rooted" my phone. It added an extra option called "Superuser Permissions", but the O2 branding when phone is turned on remains, and the numbers above stayed the same.

Now I tried to load a new ROM, but they all bring up the errors below. I have tried loads of different ones. I have plenty of free space on my SD card and have renamed some to update.zip, but still no luck.

I've also tried these:

LithiumMod1.0.12-Alternate_Dark.zip

DeFroST_2.7.zip

So am I missing a step or just not finding the right ROMs?

One seemed like it went through, but straight after an animation of a cross played on the screen, with different colours, and this wouldn't go away even after a restart.

Just wondered if anybody could help?

Thanks

Hi,

I have the same problem with my htc Desire. Because i use unrevoked to root my phone.

The OTA update can be used only with the orginal restauration tool not the one installed by the unrevoked3.

You can always install any other costom froyo rom or downgrade to the original htc restaoration tool.

I'm still looking for a non modified costum rom that i can use.
[General Topics] hacker01:
I'm sort of stuck with a dilemma here. The Captivate is on sale on Amazon for $50 which is a great price. I like AT&T but I don't like their tiered data.

T-Mobile is suppose to be releasing the G1 Blaze next month, and I like T-Mobile but their signal is weak indoors. The tradeoff would be unlimited data of course. But I'm going to college soon, and I'm a little worried that T-Mobile's signal won't be able to get through university lecture halls and dorms considering they're primarily concrete.

On the flipside, I love the Captivate. I love how it looks, the size, and how fast it is. However, I can see the G1 Blaze's keyboard as a definite advantage. The idea of being able to bust out some old school snes games on the go if you're bored is incredibly attractive to me. Not that the Captivate can't do the same thing, I just doubt a touch screen could keep up with faster pace games.

The camera on my HTC Excalibur has stopped working. It's not just the camera button, because the button still works as SYM. I get absolutely no response when I try to run Camera.exe as well.

I am using 3VO.3.50.033010 ROM. However, I have tried a couple of earlier ROMs and had the same malfunction.

Any help is appreciated.

Probably is hardware :(, since you have flash other roms and hard reset

Little late, but continuing...

I had almost given up on the issue, but since I found this topic, just wanted to try.

So, my camera stopped working. First, partially, showing this message that it couldn't be loaded, then completely. After all soft and har resets I tried, all ROMs flashed, nothing seems to have helped. Any idea on what I should do? Should I just assume I can't fix it?!
[HTC Excalibur] tobbbie:
Do you have other problems with the device, e.g. run out of power easily?

Can you still operate WLAN well?

Often the battery of older devices is aging and slowly getting dead.

If not, then:

As already proposed: try hard-rest first.

If you are on a cooked ROM: try with a shipped ROM.

If that does not help you may need to dis-assemble the device (not easy) and clean up the connector from the camera to the PBA. Still not helping: replace the camera - or the device.
[HTC Excalibur] amiloicram:
So...

well, as you mentioned, my battery is easily out of power, but i guess the problem is the cellphone cause the two last batteries i recently bought have no difference in performance to the one that came with the phone itself. after 8h it usually discharges completely. disassembling is something i'm not sure i'm doing, but, thanks for your reply!
