What a load of crap HTC products are. i am so f'in sure of this now. Never ever saw this happening to any other product of any other company!

I just got the same problem.! i had protector on, and took care of it well, note ven using it much from past month. But still it happened. Its called 'Norton Rings'. I just posted the same problem.
[Touch2 General] gulluwing:
have you solved the problem? I sent an email to htc assistence and they

have suggested me to try to do an hard reset: can you tell me how you solved the question.

thank you
[Touch2 General] Gothik:
AHHAA hard reset wont ever solve it. its hardware related not software. (fools htc)

No dude, no solution. do check my thread, click and bit a see it.

Two tricks were one of scotch tape, other lighter (fire) nothing worked.

proper is to get it repaired. costly work now :(. i am sue you are as angry as i am.

Man its so f'in crap! your htc has same problem as mine. same area, same size. When did you bought yous?
[Touch2 General] gulluwing:
I bought it 2 months ago: I can't find your thread, can indicate it me? My device runs perfectly, the only thing is this strange effect on display: how goes your device?

Actually its called Newton Rings and the only way to fix this is a repair, sorry. I had one with one with my Touch Diamond2 and bought a replacement touchscreen from ebay (hongkong) and repaired it myself.

One Touch2 is still waiting for his replacement (shipping takes a loooooooooooooong time...), but the disassembly is easy.

BTW, its a warranty issue, maybe that helps.

HI, For the HTC Album, how come it doesn't show pictures in order? The pictures are sharp and the scrolling is smooth but I just won't show them in the correct order. I am currently trying to read a comic and it is easy enough to read but the pages are all out of order even though they are named in order,001, 002, 003, etc. Is there any reg setting I can change to fix this? I found a thread with a band-aid fix since the album arranges pictures by date not by name, I re-dates them according to the name, although for me it never seems to work 100% correctly. So since this will probably never be fixed does anybody have any suggestion for a good photo viewer alternative that is freeware.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duynk:
I'm getting this really annoying problem for the last few days after a rom update. Whenever I access the Facebook directory in People (online directories tab), a message popup:

The application Facebook for HTC sense (process com.htc.socialnetwork.facebook) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force close.

I've tried everything below but nothing works:

1. Remove Facebook account and add it again

2. Clear data and cache of the app

3. Try flashing another ROM

4. Unroot to original ROM

I think the problem is with my Facebook friend list but I can't figure it out. Has anyone experience the same problem as mine? I have around 400 friends in Facebook.

Update1: If I choose "View" in the Menu, the number of Facebook contacts is correct. Some of the facebook contact have been synched with photo, but still I cannot access the Facebook contact list.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac01843:
My problem is similar... HTC Evo 4G (original EVO), (being an admitted NOOB to the android arena), I rooted my phone... then had to unroot, and return to Sprint after falling out of the car window, and being run over by my back tire, (damned dogs, jumping up, happy to see me!). Sprint's techs said that if I didn't have the triple layer Seidio Extended case on it, it would have crushed the phone completely). As it was, my screen was broken, and I had to have the phone un-rooted to get the service.

Got the phone back ($37 for the repairs, Thanks Sprint!), and re-rooted her, and back in business... everything worked... until I couldn't find the root manager, I had used last time, so started using Root Explorer. I bit more advanced, and less noob friendly, if you ask me... as I was deleting bloatware, I deleted both Facebook AND Facebook for htc sense... I got the sense ver. back, and synce with my contacts by setting up the account again... only thing is, I can't upload pics. I could before, just can't now.

Only thing different I can recall doing this time, over last, was getting rid of Friend stream and a few other things I didn't last time (football, nascar, for example). Admittedly, I deleted things that didn't look like they belonged with any apps I was keeping. So, who out there knows what files may be associated with uploading photos to FB, via htc sense? I have the actual app, as old as it may be... was this one ever updated from 2010? I'm not looking forward to re-flashing the phone, just to restore one issue... but I will if I have to.

Thanks, in advance!

1) Anyone know if Sirius has addressed when the 2.2 ready app will be ready?

2) The mp4 videos that are recorded from my Windows Media Center tv tuner on my computer all seem to be jittery and audio syncing problems when playing off EVO sd card. I have tried the stock video app, rockplayer, doubletwist, mixzing, and arcMedia; and they all are glitchy, audio problems. Is it simply that the files are too big? I dont know if it is a 2.2 problem b/c never tried playing them on 2.1.

[Vibrant General] Sozage:
Hi all,

My first post, I just started following this site a couple of weeks ago and I hope to become a fairly active member in the community.

That being said... I've recently purchased the Samsung Vibrant in Canada, for the most part the model is the same but doesn't have a dedicated search button (you hold the menu button for 3/4 of a second and it brings up the search prompt) but anyways...

I'm looking at rooting my phone and installing a custom rom and I'm wondering if there is a way to transfer or backup some of the apps that come with the samsung rom? Mainly - Swype, there is no going back to normal touchkeyboards after you've swyped for a couple of days..

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[Vibrant General] the3dman:
Without rooting there is no way to back up the stock apps from what I know.
[Vibrant General] Sozage:
So if I root, I would be able to backup the stock apps?

...and then install a custom rom and re-install the backed-up-stock-apps?

Yes most definitely.

Google calendar events do not sync automatically to my Bell Vibrant, i.e. Google server->phone Auto-sync does not work. The other way around (i.e. phone->Google sever) works fine and is almost instantaneous. (Syncing Google server->phone does work manually though.)

Just a quick update: Things got back to normal once I re-enabled Google Talk Service. I had it disabled using Autostarts, as I was intending to use Fring to carry out my Google Talk messaging. Hence it turns out that this service is needed for Auto-sync.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelwheatland:
Ext4 is the newer Linux file system. Much like Windows 95 moved to Fat32, Vista moved to the NT file system. Linux is now moving to version 4 of their file system. The new file system is more efficient, has journaling and is more secure. It really will not have any noticeable affect on operation.

It must be noted though that native Linux file systems are a lot faster than Fat Windows file systems, however they are not accessible when you put your SD card into a Windows computer. This is why only part of the card is partitioned to Ext3/4 along with the benefit of not having to unmount a file system with your apps on it.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReD_AvEnGeR:
i think it doesnt matter on a sd card which ext you use

sdcards are too slow
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrysochire:
Check out this article for extensive info.

It is increased journalisation, and better handling of bigger volumes/files.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lnxtux:
All the above is absolutely right, but totally wrong. The technical aspects are not important here. For the HTC Desire user the main difference between those filesystems is simple: stock kernel and recovery does not support ext4. That's it.

If you never plan to use stock kernel and/or recovery or skiled enough to enable ext4 support for them, then go ahead and read all those technical articles and do (or do not) change the FS type. If the words "stock kernel" and "stock recovery" mean nothing to you at the moment, you better stick to ext3.

P.S. in theory, ext4 gives you better write performance (and slightly longer SD card life) only if you frequently write the data to the ext partition. But this is not the case for A2SD partition, where the apps are installed occasionally. Unless you plan to give the Desire or the SD card to your grandchildren after many-many years.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xpower-mg:
Ok, i have this problem

The office where I work has no signal (I accept this) but after work the signal never re-appears and no-one can contact me. They only way of resolving this is to put the phone into airplane mode and back out. signal re-appears straight away.

I emailed HTC with this issue and they replied with the following:

this is a battery saving feature. when entering a no signal area, the phone will ramp up the power it uses to try and find a signal. After a while, it will stop searching for the network automatcially and wait for you to search manually. If it did not do this, the battery would be dead within a couple of hours. there is no way round this. If you know that there is no signal at work, then i would recommend to turn the phone off, or at least put it in airplane mode.

So here's what I need. A program that will every 1/2 hour or hour switch off my phone signal and back on again BUT ONLY IF THE PHONE HAS STOPPED LOOKING FOR A SIGNAL.

Can anyone help or point me in the right direction??

I love this phone but it is getting annoying

Thanks

Phil

Try to look for a task/ event manager.

add new event: 08:00 turn on airplane mode

add 2nd event: 17:00 turn off airplane mode

I havent found such a program yet .. tho MickeySoft uses it in Winodws XP or higher and on Server installs .. would be logical that they have such feature on WinMo

I just would stick to manualy change the connection since its a standard feature of the phone and its only working that way at your current work location.

[XPERIA X2 General] The Solutor:
Anyone can confirm that the supposedly present PBAP protocol is working ?

Altough my X2 is working generally better than expected, the my Alpine Car stereo is not able to show the phone's contacts.

That Car stereo was able to show the contacts with almost any phone I tried in the last couple of years.

Notably the samsung i780, the Xperia X1, the imate 8502 (which is a Mobinnova product), all the sonyericsson featurephones (k800, w995, G705, etc...).

So, is that protocol truly present (as stated on the bt cpl), and there is some compatibility issue, or is simply missing ?

Can you share your experience ?
[XPERIA X2 General] Jolo_:
I have no problems with the RBAP protocol on my Parrot MKi9000.

Maybe there's a problem with you Stereo.

Cheers.
[XPERIA X2 General] The Solutor:
Thanks for the info.

Maybe wm 6.5.x has changed something on the protocol so the radio won't recognize it.

I'll try to flash the radio with the latest firmware to see if the problem is solved.

I haven't upgraded the FW, since it worked W/O a single problem, with any device I tried (excluding the N900 that was released w/o PBAP support).
[XPERIA X2 General] The Solutor:
Ok, updated the car stereo's firmware (not so easy task) to the latest revision, the caller ID is still unsent, and the phonebook unavailable from the radio's display.

The compatibility list of this FW is huge

http://italy.alpine-europe.com/file...ion3.60/CC_CDE_103BT_CDE_113BT_ver3_60_IT.pdf

So I'm still convinced that something is wrong on the X2 itself or on the windows version installed.
[XPERIA X2 General] svert:
I have the same problem, my car can access the phone book on other phones, but not on the X2.

Anyone know what to do?
[XPERIA X2 General] damonous:
I have the X2 and a JVC KD-NX5000 car stereo (outboard/integrated BT attachment). The X1 worked fairly flawlessly over BT (with gtrab's custom firmware).

Although I have not figured-out how to get MS Voice Cmd on the X2 to initiate calls from the JVC, the following software cured the Phonebook problem:

http://www.jetwaremobile.com/

They offer a free 30-day demo, and it's only $15 for the registered version. There's a command on the menu where (once you are paired with your BT radio), you 'force-feed' the contacts over to the radio. Worked like a charm for me. And, it's actually a bit preferable to the 'phone handles it' method. On the X1, it took the phonebook on its own, but it would update only under unknown/unexpected circumstances. With JetMobile, I believe you can re-send/overlay the contacts whenever you'd like.

(Note: This is using X2 and the May MR2 firmware release with the Saturn theme.)

What are your options on your startup.txt about touch calib' ?:rolleyes:

EDIT: Yeah it is working ! I can check my notification with a shield xD

We have to

- delete the old ts_calibrate file from sdcard

AND

- remove the msmts_calib from the startup.txt (usually msmts_calib=0x395.0x3c9.0x79.0x77 on blackstone)

And I can switch off Android :p
[Touch HD General] Oliwe:
It looks like you didn't calibrate your touchscreen on first boot. Delete the ts-calibration file from your sd-card and boot into android. It will ask you to calibrate the touchscreen (you have to click on 5 white boxes, you should use the stylus for this).

The calibration in startup.txt is no longer needed. You can delete it ;)
