[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] witch1:
:(I bought the Pure in November. Since then its been in a case 100% of the time, NO drops, NO water damage. Last week it developed the "spot" shown on the picture. It looks like a thumbprint, almost. Its unlocked, hard spl'ed, and was running a custom ROM but I reflashed to stock ROM in desperation. I am just stumped and more than a little ticked off-I mean I bought it unsubsidized and it crapped out quicker than my husbands $20.00 Nokia. The touchscreen does function normally though. I contacted HTC, who told me to contact AT&T. I'm guess I'm trying to figure out if its worth trying to replace the digitizer or just sell it to gazelle.com for the 50 bucks they offered. Thanks for any help you can offer. :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lfcanjo:
Hello, I've had this problem on my diamond2, I took it to my operator and they program from replacing the front panel, the problem is that the digitizer glued to the screen. Good luck and I hope I have helped!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] witch1:
Thank you, that does help! I'll call AT&T now.:)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] claywight:
I had the same problem just sent it into ATT to get fixed.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hardstarburst:
Screen Problem

Unfortunately, I have seen it. I'm seeing it right now- take a look at the attachments.... So this is possibly not the display itself and may be the digitizer fusing somehow with the display, huh?/ Would anyone know where to get the take- apart for this phone??? Actually, what AT&T is calling the Pure is the HTC Warhawk ST6356- I paid cash for mine so I wouldn't have to commit, so sending or calling AT&T probably won't help me....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Search for newton rings, you may be able to fix it by applying duct tape and trying to separate the layers.

Otherwise you will find digitizer replacement instructions if you search here.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fazleenet:
its same to meee

how to fix it:(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unclehooi:
I had this problem before, after my phone had a 1 feet fall to the ground. Surprisingly, it slowly went away. After a few days, it's totally gone! Lucky me! :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister B:
That's LCD internal bleeding, fixed a few with that issue.

LCD is simple to replace & the digitizer is a little harder as it is bonded to the front casing.

The LCD % digitizer are totally separate & are not bonded as some people suggest.

The Diamond 2 is one of the easiest HTC devices to dismantle which is fortunate as the quality of LCD & digitizers mean you need to dismantle them frequently.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EgorLev:
this is definitely the digitiser problem. I have the same problem for almost one year, but i manneget to overcome it with the solution i have discribed here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5496201&postcount=78

i do not exactly what it is and why does it happening. but you can order a new digitiser from ebay for 5-10 USD and install it by your self, of course if your have applied for waranty repair already and they have refused to you.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hardstarburst:
Mister b, did you say you fixed a few of the ATT HTC Pure with this issue?? It seems fairly straightforward to replace, all except for the lower portion of the case. I can take the screws out of the top and I see how it comes apart, but it is still somehow attached at the bottom and I have pulled as hard as I dare. This phone is my "daily driver" I can't destroy it in an attempt to fix it. Any idea where I can get a take-apart manual or vid for the Pure, or do you know how the bottom portion attaches?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister B:
I think on your model mentioned 2 lower screws are hidden under removable trim panel under buttons !

Youtube for a dismantling guide or look in wiki section.

Purchased a Alcatel OT-980 for the other half (Was that or a LG Optimus or a ZTE Racer), Was wondering if it is rootable and if there are any roms available (Highly doubt it), It just runs plain standard android, I think the closest phone spec wise is the HTC Tattoo/Click

[Desire Themes and Apps] BoSib:
Make sure that the compression is set to "store" then it might work..
[Desire Themes and Apps] Exlo:
Ahh. thanks!

Works like a charm :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] elijahblake:
is there a tutorial to making bootanimations like this?

Thanks
[Desire Themes and Apps] Jiia:
Well it's mostly just animating. Corel Animation Shop is an easy to use application that let's you make animations. It has some build in effects so you just need one picture or text and you can add effects to it like fade, wave, shine or zoom. You can easily create an animation like in the firt post with it. But if you want to make more complex animations you will have to draw them image by image, so I'd suggest you to find a better application for that. Using more complex software requires lot of skill and effort.

After you have created your animation you can upload the .gif file here and it will send you a zip file that has all the images separated. Then you just find a bootanimation.zip (ex. from this thread) and replace the images inside it with your own images and rename them correctly: 0.png, 1.png, 2.png... Or if your animation has more than 10 pictures: 00.png, 01.png, 02.png... You also want to make the images the sime size as your screen (800x480) unless your animation has plain white background.

Then you create a folder called "data" and inside it create a folder called "local". Inside the folder "local" you put the bootanimation.zip. Now compress the "data" folder with winrar and set the compression method to "store" as shown above. Now the zip file need to be signed with an easy to use "Sign ROM" tool. You can google for it or pm me to sign it. After that the bootanimation is ready to be flashed.

You might also be able to use RootExplorer to locate the folder /data/local/ and replace the bootanimation.zip with your own one. You might also want to delete or replace the android_audio.mp3 inside the same folder because it's the bootsound file.
[Desire Themes and Apps] elijahblake:
thanks for the info.. Yeah I've been working on some simple boot animations:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9964748#post9964748

but I just didn't know how you guys ripped the animated gif's apart. That's cool. I have adobe Master Collection4, wouldn't fireworks do this good? I'm not very familiar with all of it, it's been a long time since I made an animated gif.. And big thanks for the link to send me the zip files!!!
[Desire Themes and Apps] Dranrev:
Hi can someone share the command use to search file in adb. I want to check where my bootanimation is located. TIA
[Desire Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
use the cd command to navigate directories, (eg "cd /system/customise/resource), and then the "ls" command to view the contents :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] elijahblake:
not sure about how to use adb to do this, but Root explorer is what I use.. It's one of the most used apps I've purchased..

My bootanimations are stored at:

system/media/ (place bootanimation.zip here)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Dranrev:
Thanks I forgot that command it is equivalent to dir /s bootanimation.zip DOS.

Hi there!

I got a bad problem of GPS with my Android, in WinMo everything's fine, but Android keeps getting bad reception. I got the feeling that my phone tries to connect to a non-europe Servers. Don't know how to fix it though. What do I have to do to get a good and fast reception in Germany?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cartonneexpress:
Hey,

you can change the timeserver in the "system/etc/gps.conf" file.

preset is in the first line is:

NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org

change it to:

NTP_SERVER=de.pool.ntp.org

On a rooted system use Astro to search for "gps.conf". Open the file in the editor and change the server adress, then reboot. Since I did it I get a gps fix in <15sec.

Traditional Chinese display on Xperia x2

Hi there, I have just successfully changed my default language to Traditional Chinese on X2. It turns out that you do not need to download a taiwan version of the rom by yourself. Like you, I have tried every cab file or ce star suite and none of them works on the MR2 update.

However, there is one thing that works.

I have discovered that you need to first of all obtain the file posted in this thread for TW:"[100% Working] Changing the default language of Xperia X2 - takes you 5 minutes."

Then uninstall the update service on your PC completely and download a new one from the sony ericsson Taiwan website.

After installing the newly downloaded update service, just follow the steps posted in the first thread and you should get the update service downloading an update file which is of the size of 134mb, bigger than the English version of 128MB for MR2 update.

This works even if you have already updated to the English version of MR2 as I did.

Hope it helps.:) It worked on mine and it should work on yours as well.
[XPERIA X2 General] shisui:
it works , thx a lot^^
[XPERIA X2 General] rohit159:
guys... I just upgraded to the mr2 and had the problem when I installed CE star. that is when i found out that Ce star is not compatible with mr2. One clarification request on this post, when you get the upgrade software from the sony ericcson taiwan website and get chinese language support with the update....does it give you option of keeping english as the default language?. I am looking for chinese language support so that the chinese messages to me dont appear as blocks.
[XPERIA X2 General] cteo17:
Does this taiwan s/w default language chinese change the whole phone language to chinese? Or it only support chinese display and the menu still in english?????
[XPERIA X2 General] ramuza:
it will install a chinese Version of WM6.5.3 to your phone, so most of the things will be in Chinese, and most software will read your phone as chinese phone and switch to Chinese by default, it is a bit annoying, but that is the best we can do with X2 now... It is sad that HK has dropped X2 from its product lineup because usually HK would offer a rom that is ENG based while supporting Chinese read/input... If you opt to install SPB after stripping your phone then you can still change the default language in SPB and that will show most of stuff in English, by still all marketplace, google map, will still show everything in Chinese...

Ah yes, and i thought it was just me. I have rooted/flashed and uploaded bootanimations but the provider logo/splashscreen (1&1 - german provider) which is shown before the boot-animation is really annoying and ugly :)
[Wildfire Android Development] Warlord711:
For me it was only possible to remove the provider screen by using a RUU.exe.

Those HTC Update files does also alter the splash screen. The splash image is within a .nb0 file.

The memory in the mobile which contains the splash screen isnt mapped to the normal filesystem.

On some phones its listed in /proc/mtd but not on wildfire:

cat /proc/mtd

Al this is the story of about how my life got Froyo. Ns like to take a minute just sitting right here. How i got Froyo on the samsung galaxy s. In west korea born and bred. Samsung ended up spending most of it's days. Chillin out maxin relaxin all cool and shootin some bball outside of school. When a couple of guys who were up to no good. Got lazy coding updates all up in my hood. Send out 1 little email and my mom got scared. she said if you aint getting this update you move in with your auntie and uncle in bel air. I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said Froyo and had dice in the mirror. If anything i could say that this cab was Rare. But i thought man forget it yo home to Bel air. I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8. And I yelled out to the cabbie Yo homes ill dl a rom! I looked up at my kingdom i was finally there to play on my phone as prince of bel air.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] FlorianO:
Hello,

I was wondering if there is any alternative dialer than the standard one -- I'm on Froyo XXJPK.

The problem I have is that searching through contacts results in a match only at the beginning of the Firstname -- not on lastname, nor in the middle of a name. Needless to say, that is quite annoying.

Another feature I am missing is automatic screen locking after a user-specified value while during a call.

TIA for suggestions.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t830mc:
Try Dialer one.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] keno_ro:
The issue is with the android not with samsung.

This is an open issue under development.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FlorianO:
Are you sure ?.... This feature works perfectly fine on an HTC Desire running Froyo: It lists all the matches as I type, and when selecting a contact I can choose which number to call (not only the first).

Even my old Omnia running WM6.5 can do that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] synflex:
Try DialerOne for one that uses T9 search for both names and numbers...

As for screenlock while on call... no idea about that, while on headset answering a call, the screen locks after 30secs, which is my default setting...

While answering without headsets or on bluetooth, I presume that the screen should be off while you are answering, and thus locking shouldn't be necc...

Shall try it out later...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Yakumo.unr:
Google gesture search is sort of another alternative.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mjl_79:
Weird, I can search my contacts by firstname, lastname and company. Just tested.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FlorianO:
What kind of contacts ? Mine are Exchange -- and I cannot edit them in the stock "Contacts" app either (except the name). I need to use TouchDown for that....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FlorianO:
Yes, I've now installed Dialer One -- MUCH better !

Many thanks !
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mjl_79:
I have contacts from Exchange. Search find contacts using firstname, lastname and company info. I can edit exchange contacts too(add/edit numbers, addresses, mail addresses etc). Haven't installed Touchdown.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xrayA4T:
If I understand the question correctly, they are talking about typing the name in on the dialler number keypad using T9, so 3733 will match Fred Smith but not Bob Fredman. If you go to contacts and do the search there it is fine.

I just realized that there does seem to be a way to write to system partition on my phone: titanium backup is deleting unwanted system apps just fine. :-/
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ragin:
Great program, solved a LOT of problems for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] PlanetJumble:
Hmmm... further investigation showed: this works just fine for me, as do some other tools. It worked by using a terminal emulator, which I consider way to cumbersome for file management. I thought I could just make the system partition rewritable and use any tool capable of browsing there to e.g. delete unwanted crap (like most of the ringtones). But it doesn't work that way, the tool still seems to need SU rights as well.

So I have to ask you appelflap: what is the primary purpose of this tool? If the file manager needs to be root capable on itself, I only know of Root Explorer (which can make system RW just fine, but costs money) or EStrongs File Explorer (which asks for some outrageous access rights). On a terminal emulator or ADB, I can just remount by adding a single line. Please give me a use case for your tool, is it just to save writing/pasting a single line?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
I wrote it for the newer Froyo versions. I needed it to for Root Explorer to work (it didn't remount the system directory for r/w access at that time, but I saw that there's an update, so maybe it does now?)
