[TG01 General] coverco:
First post so all help welcomed. I have an old XDA Orbit and decided to buy a second hand TG01 as an upgrade. The phone arrived and worked great, it took a bit of reading on this forum to get Tomtom working but the advice was great. I flashed a couple of roms and was really happy with the phone.

My old XDA used mini USB to charge and the TG01 uses micro USB so I thought I would convert my car charger by buying an adapter off Ebay which cleatly stated it was for the TG01 and could be used to convert car chargers. It arrived this morning I plugged my old charger into it and then plugged it into the TG01 and nothing happened (or so I thought), but I did notice my charger light had gone out. I assumed the charger was faulty and the phone still worked perfectly so thought no more of it.

When I got home the phone was down to 60% charge (yes I know they eat the battery) so I plugged in my official Toshiba charger and nothing happened again, no charging light came on. I then plugged it into my computer thinking maybe it was a bad day for chargers and again nothing. At this point I was getting a bit worried so I smelled the phone and it smells of burnt electrical smells. I opened the phone up to see if anything was loose (Nintendo DS screwdrivers work on the TG01) and it looked fine but does smell a bit.

Sorry for the long winded post but does anyone have any experience of burning out the charging circuit. The phone still works fine apart from not charging. I have still got about 60% charge but it will not last long. I have contacted the seller of the adapter but am not holding out much hope on that front. It may be a case of looking for a phone that has a broken screen or selling the bits for spares.

Cheers

Tommy
[TG01 General] elder T:
Toshiba have 2 years warranty with the TG01, so if you have a reciept or prove of purchase then you are covered.

:cool:
[TG01 General] coverco:
I bought the TG01 second hand so am not the original owner. I have however contacted Toshiba UK to ask about spares, they said the same as you that there is a two year warranty. When I explained about not being the original owner they said they could sort me out a proof of purchase. I am waiting for them to get back to me but to be honest it all sounds a bit dodgy :eek:
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] aeroflyluby:
Okay, Cotulla is expert, but I want to share some information I got with analyzis of rom.

Let it be Alpine wm6 knowledge topic.

Alpine processor is PXA272 (clocked 416 Mhz or 520 Mhz)

Alpine has 128 ram and 64 rom

ROM of alpine is parted as:

39 mbs of NK image (main rom)

25 mbs of Extended ROM

As it stay for now, I base on himalaya rom I know perfectly, so I copied partitions etc from hima.

To use hima base for alpine use this c# code

byte[] AlpineNK = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes("Alpine.nba");
byte[] HimaNK = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes("Himalaya.nba");
for (int i = 0x180000; i < 0x4BA2AE; i++) AlpineNK[i] = 0x00;
for (int i = 0x4BA2AE; i < 0x500074; i++) AlpineNK[i] = HimaNK[i];
for (int i = 0x500074; i < 0x1FFEEBA; i++) AlpineNK[i] = HimaNK[i];
for (int i = 0x1FFEEBA; i < 0x1FFF1FF; i++) AlpineNK[i] = HimaNK[i];
for (int i = 0x1FFF1FF; i < AlpineNK.GetLength(0); i++) AlpineNK[i] = 0x00;
try { System.IO.File.Delete("nk.nba"); }
catch (Exception e) { }
System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes("nk.nba", AlpineNK);

It generates nk.nba to be used in AK6 Alpine version, not released yet.

It has a fail, it use 32 mbs of rom and fill res with 0x00, because I didn't find a way to resize imgfs yet.

XIP resides at 0x180000 (ECEC string is at 180040, useful for xipport)

or on 0x040000

In original nk.nba w2k3 we find 2 main partitions with headers

800e966c - 800e96c0 L00000054 rom_01 header: dlls=01f601ff-02000000 phys=80040000-801729f0, 9 modules, 5 files, 1 copyentries ext=80042b54 ram=905c0000-94000000 cputype=000001c0 01f601ff

8060e82c - 8060e880 L00000054 rom_02 header: dlls=0154015d-015f4000 phys=80180000-8060faf4, 12 modules, 155 files, 0 copyentries ext=80042b54 ram=905c0000-94000000 cputype=000001c0 0154015d

I think I should try to put loader in 0x040000 instead of 0x180000

Hima use cputype 1c2, alpine use 1c0

Most similar devices with processor and xip are Magican, Universal and XDA Atom.

Magican is impossible to port here, but it is most similar.

Universal would work, but is use pxa270 istead of pxa272 processor, so some modifications would be needed.

I implemented AK6 to use with Alpine.

To enter bootloader manually (without EnterBL.exe) use this comination:

Press any D-Pad direction (without center) and reset with hole next to 21 pin slot.

I attach verbose analyze of Alpine newest 2k3 rom, it would be useful.

Share your info too.

BTW, Cotulla, if you are too busy to work on it continounsly, I can finish it with a little your help.

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] psophan:
very big thank aroflyluby

i dont know with your work (c# code),but i want to say thank to you for shared your knowledge with alpine ,i think this maybe can help Cotulla or some one that work with rom developing of Alpine:D
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] muckelmaus:
It's good to see, that you obviously like to work with your new used alpine.

Thanx to bruzzlee, for sharing his second device with you!

To luby: It was good to change the death sentence you got, for drowning your hima in corn flakes, to 99 years of rom-cooking!

Good luck!
[Vibrant General] ping33tx:
Im sure most peeps know this but tmobile does in if fact throttle your 3g service if you go over 10mb here is the text I got today.

(Free T-Mobile msg: Your usage has reached the data threshold for your rate plan this month. Your speed has been reduced for the rest of this billing cycle.)

Anyway just FYI in case people didnt know.i called and argued about paying 30 bucks a month to be throttled down.they said when u go over you switch from 3g to edge.thanks ping33tx
[Vibrant General] Azrael.arach:
Take it you ment 10gigs.
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
it's 10gb not 10mb. and that's a reasonable limit before throttling. there are other threads on this as well.
[Vibrant General] Leoslick:
Does this count for downloading 10mb apps and stuff? I have not been throttled down and thought this was only a myth...10gb is a lot to go through a month for me anyway though

Sent from beyond galaxy s
[Vibrant General] ping33tx:
Nope the chat rep said 10mb.now that person might have made a typo im just saying what was typed
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
What are you doing on your phone that you need 10GB of data?

This is not new news. It's been like this for months.
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
lol. then everyone on this forum would be throttled on their first day of their billing cycle every month....

it's 10gb. been that way for a long time.
[Vibrant General] ping33tx:
Well being a shift worker at a refinery n working nite,netflix comes in handy to make 12hrs go by been doing it for months n months n never got this text until today
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
There you go!
[Vibrant General] beren28:
As I am new to android/smartphones, can anyone tell me if there is any easy way to check your current data usage to see where you stand?
[Vibrant General] ping33tx:
Yeah that might be,but the way I see it if your paying 30 bucks a month for unlimited then it should be just that.Hell my dsl is faster n cheaper lol and use ten times what I use on the mobile..Oh well just passing along,some peeps might not know.just trying to help
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Hell your DSL is not the same as wireless. 10GB on a cellular network is a lot.
[Vibrant General] ping33tx:
Yep ur correct on that.despite that moral of the story is if ur paying for a product you should be able to get that product.Right?
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
this has been discussed thoroughly in other threads....

but, basically, you are still receiving the product (unlimited web access, which is the same cost even if there isn't 3g in your area), just at a slower speed. a lot of cable and dsl companies do the same thing and their networks aren't as impacted by heavy bandwidth usage.
[Vibrant General] MasterColdSoul:
The dumb part is 10gig's isn't much anymore, some apps/games download 80-100 megs worth of stuff.

Not only that but last I checked the Samsung Vibrant comes with mobile TV app does it not?

So whats the point of having apps that are going to eat up data, are only good when they have 3g and we only have 10gigs or use or that?

It makes me sick every time I see ATT's dumb as use our internet commercial and don't state it's a 250 meg and 2.5 gig plans.

Tmobile isn't very far from being in the same boat because they give you a phone with mobitv and advertise the screen and playing movies and then expect you to not use it (and the data cell line to it) to stream videos/movies/shows?

Same thing for Win7, etc..

ALL these phones now are capable of pulling 100's of gigs of data in a month, yet they want us to accept a neutered phone with only 10 gigs of worthy access at descent speeds.

And no edge isn't worthy, might as well not have a data connection for anything other than checking email or getting tweets because it's way to slow.

So either go back to selling just dumb phones, or they need to expect people to be using more data.

I just don't see the point in living in this internet data based world and having all these damn cell phone companies refuse to allow us to enjoy it by not offering a true unlimited internet 3g connection to our phones.

And it's not the data pipe, or the usage thats a bull**** argument because the following companies offer unlimited internet through cell towers for laptops/home computers verizon/virgin mobile/sprint and sprint offers unlimited 3g to their 4g phones.

So no it's not about them "coping" with us the evil eaters of all the bandwith. If that was the case nobody, not one company could offer true unlimited 3g/4g but it is out there just not for the vast majority of the companies/options and you have zero options if you are GSM only like me which sucks.
[Vibrant General] PolishDude:
I think 10gb is very far considering at&t gives you 2gb for 25 and then charges you more if you go over that
[Vibrant General] MasterColdSoul:
Yes and I could offer to chop off only a pinky instead of your whole hand so thats better as well right?

Don't think so, if the cell companies want to make use of the airwaves that are limited, they should be forced to offer a unlimited internet package on all their services.

Same for home phone companies, if they want to offer phone service they need to offer dsl to all their customers, and have a unlimited package.

It's just tiring to see commercial after commercial showing this and that on the internet and you have to go to virgin mobile to be able to get unlimited 3g for a home connection. And they only charge me 10 bucks more than the cost for the internet on my phone.

So no I don't think it's to unreasonable to ask for unlimited 3g on my vibrant when you consider I pay about 80 bucks a month, and I use about less than 1 hour of talk time, only a few hundred text so the only real thing they are providing me in quantity for 80 bucks is internet and they can't even do that "right".

Honestly it hardly effects me because I don't have 3g where I live, but I do travel to 3g areas so I don't want to have that slow down.
[Vibrant General] narselon:
I got a message telling me my connection was throttled as well. Problem is I haven't been using my phone. I checked my usage on the t-mobile website and it claimed my phone used a gigabyte while I was sleeping. At various points my phone seems to do a few hundred megabytes at random. This has been happening the last few days, which corresponds to the time that the gmail application stopped syncing on my phone. Is this a common problem?
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Virgin Mobile/Sprint is giving unlimited 3G away for a few reasons

- Subscriber additions

- Underused EV-DO network (soon to be overloaded with unlimited usage+Evo/Epic; it's already happening) There isn't enough bandwidth to go around. Two people streaming YouTube constantly is enough to bring your overall data through put below 1Mbps where it was probably 2Mbps before.

- Subscriber additions, Sprint is hurting for them.
[Vibrant General] ping33tx:
Very well spoken thats been my whole point to start with
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
It's called moderation. If we could all be glutens we would be but there are repercussions to that. Just like if there was unlimited data, the OP would be bogging the network down with his constant Netflix streaming.

Unlimited sounds good, but let an AT&T user tell you: it isn't.
[Vibrant General] z0phi3l:
When you loose ALL access to the network, then you are not on an unlimited plan, just because it's slower doesn't mean it's not unlimited
[Vibrant General] ping33tx:
And if I wanna stream netflix I should be able too if im paying for it.thats no different than people using mobitv n watching espn coz there favorite baseball team is playing.if ur giving hard earned money for a product then its there job to make sure it happens.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Actually if you want to get technical no you're not paying to stream netflix.

MobiTV looks & sounds terrible:it's meant for 3G bandwidth and low usage of it.
[Vibrant General] z0phi3l:
You can still do that, just at a slower speed, so still unlimited
[Vibrant General] ping33tx:
How u figure im not paying to stream lol then whats the point for flash if you can stream,no different than youtube.how streaming that for hours any different?its not streaming is streaming no matter what its whether its data or video or music .
[Vibrant General] dabezt1:
Well your TETHERING over 10gbs. Terms and Conditions clearly say tethering is not allowed. And your calling Tmobile up and complaining about how they wont allow you to keep abusing their data plan? Even when they stilll allow you to have internet access at lower speeds?

Damn and people wonder why carriers keep restricting the data usage.
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
Lay off the porn...probably his cause....10GB is a lot of bandwidth :D
[Vibrant General] ping33tx:
Lol yeah u gotta love your porn lol
[Vibrant General] ping33tx:
Well if they dont want people to tether then why are there apps in the market.post the terms n condition I couldnt find them on the web site.ill look again when I get work
[Vibrant General] ping33tx:
Hey thats my ****ing point if your paying for a product then you should get what your paying for.period.and as far as allowing me well that falls under they dont taking my money either.if they throttle my 3g to edge then charge me for edge,dont keep charging me.thats like paying for premium gas but u get regulat octane.if u paid for premium gas then u should get premium gas.that simple.
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
You need to grow up.

Just because something is available, doesn't mean it's acceptable or even legal.

Here are T-Mobile's terms and conditions. To which you agreed upon getting T-Mobile's service.

http://www.t-mobile.com/Templates/P...&PAsset=Ftr_Ftr_TermsAndConditions&print=true

Here's an excerpt from the terms and conditions.

There are plenty of other threads in the forums talking about this exact issue.

If you don't like it, you can go to another mobile carrier.
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
what part of 'the data plan costs the same whether there is 3g in your area or just edge (or even gprs because not everywhere has even edge)' do you not get? so you are getting what you are paying for. you are paying for unlimited internet access, that's what you are getting, you are not getting or paying for unlimited 3g speeds. if you feel you are paying for unlimited 3g speeds, take it up with tmob and let them explain it to you. while you are talking to them feel free to cancel over this, there are other carriers for you to choose from. then see how happy you are with the alternatives.
[Vibrant General] andy696:
They are not charging you for edge but if you want to pay for it send them a cheque.

If you do not use an excessive amount of data you will not hit the limit. They have another option, set hard limits and charge you for everything, as most other carriers have started to do.
[Vibrant General] dabezt1:
x2

I dont know why certain individuals find this so hard to understand.

I wasnt aware tmobile offered a "Unlimited (3G only) data plan"
[Vibrant General] swehes:
Netflix on Android?

How do you get Netflix on Android? Have they released an app or has someone else released an app?
[Vibrant General] qreffie:
Getting edge only is still unlimited internet and you were tethering which they tend to frown upon so consider yourself lucky they didn't cut your service. Now if you were paying for MobiTV and got throttled to where the app was unusable, then you'd gave a case.
[Vibrant General] Robertcrow:
Is tmobile gonna let us use mobile hotspot if so could that help your issue
[Vibrant General] 98classic:
has anyone actually be throttled? my buddy used up about 170gb one month and he said he would get throttled for a few minutes then he was back at it. lol
[Vibrant General] ags29:
This guy's really complaining after tethering over 10GBs of data a month at work!?

First of all, read the fine print when you agree to a contract/plan.

Second, you honestly think that whoever is writing your check would be happy to know that you're shoving the actual job duties their paying you for up his/her a**? I think that people who are out of a job and actually willing to do some work should be complaining to you.
[Vibrant General] ping33tx:
hey partner i have been here at my job for 20yrs,you have no clue what i do and how i do it,to be honest you have no idea what it takes to make gasoline and the hazards that go with it so just be glad there still people here keeping gas in your car.Second,i feel sorry for some of those peeps that are out of a job,but then again you have people being on unemployment for 2yrs,so in way i'm doing my part what about you?And dont blame me,blame that idiot of a president you voted for,you wanted change,you got it.Thirdly,once i spoke to tmobile and they figured out that me and my wife have been with them for over ten years,well lets just say there toned changed at little bit.and what i'm doing with my device is my business,i paid for it and i pay my bill and never been late.And the people i work for trust me.And its people like you liberal minded think that everyone should deserve the piece of my pie when i made the pie.You must be from up north,that figures.
[Vibrant General] cc4cc4:
Bottom line is this. We live in a capitalist society. If this is such a big deal to you call customer service and cancel. Tell them you will take the hit on the cancel rather than accept a cap. Enough people put up with it and it will continue as tmobile's job is to make money AND stay alive.they have to balance things to do so. Only way to force things is to put your money where your mouth is.

If you can't do that then you can't honestly complain.

[Vibrant General] engineer14:
uhm to the op, i dont think verizon actually gives you unlimited internet. Very few companies really allow you to use as much bandwidth as you want....EVEN DSL COMPANIES. sprint has a 5gb loosely enforced limit, so does verizon. READ THE FINE PRINT. It is unlimited because you are not charged extra (thats how they explain it).

All DSL/Phone companies also include (in fine print) some acceptable use policy where it basically says if you take too much bandwidth, they reserve the right to disconnect you.
[Vibrant General] ags29:
You have no clue what my point was.. And that's fine, I'm not gonna try and elaborate it for u at all. I will just say I'm glad for u and thank u for all the incredibly hard work u do, all u have, all these people that u claim trust u and I wish u all the best. Just imagine, if u woulda actually read up on the details of ur plan or even did a simple Google search on that awesome phone u have, this whole thread would've been unnecessary.. Good day my friend.
[Vibrant General] ping33tx:
Solution resolved the great mighty tmobile was mote than happy to resolve it.and far as putting money where my mouth is well lets just say tmobile has never cut off my service in ten yrs.i think that should make the deposit just fine.
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
so what was the point of the bull**** thread?
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
uh huh. so what, they offered you the plan without the throttle that doesn't exist? lol. or did they give you a $20 one time credit to shut you up?

why didn't you just cancel?
[Vibrant General] tribalb:
oh wow. i seriously didnt think tmo capped the bandwith. like the op said we shouldnt be throttled down. oh well least its more than the other guys.
[Vibrant General] papabear:
Be thankful, in most foreign countries (other than NA) have a cap on their bandwidth and lower speeds. At least they are not like the greedy att and verizon and chare you up the butt if you go over. And I know that comcast cable has a cap, most do not reach that but they will slow down your interweb if you go over a certain amount. I do LOTS and LOTS on my phone and tether it and have never had a slow down issue. Not sure how much bandwidth I have hit tho either. Edge is still better than dial up. So stop your whining.
[Vibrant General] ping33tx:
Typical liberal theres no whinning is the fact its very simple u have a service I pay you for the service and I get the service.not I should be lucky this or lucky that.you people up north got a ****ed up way thinking.n I dont live in a foreign,so no since in comparing.

Though you wont like this answer, and neither will anyone else like you and I who are looking to maximize bang for buck, there are the options of mobile 3g internet for your consistent high-bandwidth applications
[Vibrant General] hockeyrcks9901:
Are you stupid or do you just not read?

What you are paying for is a DATA plan, NOT an 3G plan! T-mobile is not disconnecting your data. You are still getting the service that you are paying for, which is data.

Let me repeat myself just to make it clear:

YOU ARE NOT PAYING FOR A 3G CONNECTION! You are paying for a DATA connection!
[Vibrant General] skesseks:
Fine, but the service has a CONTRACT attached to it, that you MUST agree to in order to have the service. That contract says that you MAY HAVE YOUR SPEED REDUCED if you exceed the usage limits set forth in the contract. That same contract says that you MAY NOT tether the phone and use it as a modem.

Even the LIBERALS (that you are so fond of smearing) are aware of this contract.

Please STFU.
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
TY finally someone else with sense!!!

@OP: you signed a contract, and onthat contract it clearly states that if you go past a certain limit they will throttle your speed!!

Is there a point to non-HD porn?:D
[Vibrant General] Chief Geek:
I dont agree with calling it unlimited and having a cap. I believe they should call it 5 or 10 gig limit. However in tmo case they arnt known for cutting people off or raping them with fees so thats good enough for me. We all know that companies put limits on everything and that if it were really cut and dry our contract we sign would be a photocopy of the ad off the front window.

Now on to the real issue at hand, I went from 2.2 rom on my slide to 2.1 and my video needs are no longer met in the above mentioned posts. Could someone pm me a alternative untill 2.2 is dropped. Thank you all who have posted, this has been a fun thread to follow.
