[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pedrohp:
Hi there,

I am quite new to this HTC and WinMo world and have a question about radio versions:

Higher version numbers are always better than smaller ones? Or at least newer?

I have flashed Gen.Y R2.6 and the author recommends radio 1.13.25.24. My current stock is 1.00.25.08.

The higher one is better? How do i know that? Witch one should i use?

My device is the HTC Touch Diamond, BTW. Claro carrier, from Brazil.

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mbiba:
The radio you have it is maybe too old 1.13.25.24 is good when its recommended by ROM creator. I also have very good experiences with latest offical radio 1.09.25.23 and also with 1.15.25.14. On the other hand very bad experience with 1.17.25.09 radio. But I am from Europe...

After you install the new radio don't forget also to install appropriate rilphone for this radio, it is very important.

For more information search the radio thread, you can find it here.

The Seidio Rugged Case has been causing my Evo to constantly overheat and reboot and in some cases it refuses to power on?? Also freezes a lot due to the heat.....Anyone else experiencing this???
[EVO 4G Accessories] notown775:
are you OC'd ? cause i used to be OC'd and never had a problem. I dont have any overheating issue with the stock kernel..
[EVO 4G Accessories] wesley762:
no issues with mine at all.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mayonesa:
its not the case.. shouldnt be anyways...

check what your running cause it has to be something there..

i have the rugged and not a single problem... while messing with my phone with the case on temps have gone to 106 or so and never did the phone reboot or anything like it...

of course the temp got that high cause i was using it a lot but when im not using it the temps stay normal... no different that the sedio active i also have.

[HD2 General] Devin5277:
I am having trouble getting my phone to boot up.

It hangs at the boot up screen. I am able to flash roms and radios from the bootloader screen, but nothing seems to work. I was using chucky's droid rom, to run android. I had problems from time to time with it freezing up on me.

after some research, it looked like I had a battery pin loose, or not lined up correctly.

so I flashed nrg's lite wm rom, then back to chucky's droid rom, nothing it booting up. I tried flashing different radios as well. all the flashes go thru, but nothing boots.

this last time, I tried to boot up, it went into one boot loop, then froze again.

I purchased this phone off of craigs list, do I dont know if I can somehow get a stock rom on it and try to get another phone.

what do you guys think? ATM i am only able to flash thru sd card.

EDIT. Something else I forgot to mention, when I plug my charger into keep the battery juiced, I have to pull the battery to try to power it back on, It even freezes when I try to charge it.

Is this a hardware issue maybe? How can I get any assistance from htc, or tmobile if I didnt buy directly from them.

My main phone is a vibrant, so I am not without a phone, but I would like to either go back to stock, and sell this phone cheap, or get another phone, I dont want to be out of 200 dollars, but it looks like I am.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
I have had two different HD2s and both of them freeze up or are slow to respond when charging. Personally, I think it has to do with electrical fields interfering with the capacitive screen, but there may be a more deep-seated issue at work here.

If I were you, I would try this before giving up:

Completely replace the SD card. Class 6 is best, but anything above Class 2.

Flash a stock ROM via microSD to over-write the SPL.

Task 29 to clear out any old bits floating around.

Flash the "Lite" version of any ROM (6.5.1, not 6.5.5).

Skip the initial customization and hard-reset.

Complete customization and soft-reset.

Since it appears that your phone was working okay before, you probably got a bad flash that is sticking around.

What's the deal with the battery on this phone. It takes several hours (3-4) to go from (near) 0 to 100% charge, with USB.

And, when using navigation on the phone, with a car charger plugged in, the phone still loses a little bit of charge. All other phones I had, they would charge somewhat slowly with the GPS on (since GPS is using draining a lot), and never seen one that loses charge even while connected.

I have tried 2 different car chargers, both aftermarket though. Do you see the same?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
Most of the car chargers only deliver 500mAh - when your phone is plugged in, go to settings-> about phone and see if it says AC or USB charging. You also need a car charger that is rated at more then 500 mA.

But even with a charger rated at more then 500mA - the phone still thinks it is plugged into USB. I got around this by modifying a USB cable - I connected the data lines together on the micro usb end and the phone thinks it has AC power and charging keeps up with GPS.

BTW I am using a 2 port car charger (2 1Amp USB ports) Griffin I think, but i tested with many others, and after other internet searching realized the wall charger shorts the data wires and we can mimic this on a car charger.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hkk:
alphadog,

Thanks for the reply.

Can you give more details on how to connect the data lines together? And, no issues doing that?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
No issues for me. First - use a decent USB cable. Also, see this thread for more info... one of my posts is page 2. Page one shows you an easier hack for testing - no cutting required.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=774665&highlight=battery

I took a USB cable and did all my work on the micro end - where the connector for the phone is. I stripped back some of the outer insulation, so i could work on the inner wires. I didn't cut the whole end off. The two wires that are not red and black are the data wires. I cut them, stripped them, and soldered them together. These 2 wires are from the micro plug end, so i created a loop back or connection of the 2 data wires at the plug end.

Like others I've discovered HTC Mail isn't compatible with Hotmail's Exchange ActiveSync (Gmail Exchange ActiveSync works fine).

I've installed Touchdown but dislike the interface (it's also 20 bucks!) and also Improved Mail (v1.75) which also works fine but:

1. You cannot Move e-mails into another folder

2. Unlike HTC Mail it doesn't show the amount of unread e-mails on the home screen shortcut.

3. And the killer: It support HTML e-mails. How can a modern e-mail app not support HTML e-mails?

Are there any other Exchange ActiveSync e-mail apps I can use instead? Where can I download the Google Nexus One e-mail app?
[Desire Themes and Apps] celestialspring:

[Desire Themes and Apps] bradavon:
Thanks but this only works with Exchange 2003 not Exchange ActiveSync:

http://code.google.com/p/k9mail/wiki/K9MailAndExchange

I've only just discovered this because I've spent the last 30 mins trying to get it to connect and it keeps timing out.

Thanks but this only works with Exchange 2007.
[Desire Themes and Apps] bradavon:
Anyone? Thanks
[Desire Themes and Apps] kazgor:
how about Moxier Mail...

http://www.moxier.com/mail/

looks nicer than TouchDown.. although when i tested Moxier (2.7) it didnt support HTML emails on Ex.2003 unlike Touchdown.

Moxier also appears to hold the downloaded emails on the phone memory so ran out quite quickly.. Maybe 2.8 is better now. havent tried.

for now i use TouchDown when i'm away from the office.
[Desire Themes and Apps] bradavon:
Thanks Kazgor.

I've just installed v2.5 and it doesn't support HTML e-mail on Exchange ActiveSync either. I cannot find a newer version. What is it with HTML support?

It's no good, if it doesn't support HTML e-mail. Pity as otherwise it looks good.
[Desire Themes and Apps] pablake:
Give Roadsync a try - works fine for me although needs some improvement to match the Symbian version...
[Desire Themes and Apps] cjm1979:
I was reading another thread on this earlier this week on xda and this link was in it. It describes how to load the normal android email app. Its for 2.2. I don't know If this supports what you need.

http://digiex.net/computing-section...tc-desire-google-nexus-one-android-2-2-a.html
[Desire Themes and Apps] bradavon:
Thanks guys. I've now tried:

1. Native Nexus One E-mail App

2. Improved E-Mail v1.75 (not the new v2.00 yet)

3. Touch Down

4. RoadSync

And all work perfectly fine with Hotmail's Exchange ActiveSync but none support HTML e-mail. RoadSync says it does in it's text in the market and the owner of Improved Mail says it's also supported.

So I'm thinking this is a bug with Hotmail's Exchange ActiveSync.

I've also discovered on the Improved E-Mail website (www.mwebster.us) that moving mail when using Hotmail's Exchange ActiveSync won't sync this back to the server, due to Microsoft’s implementation of Exchange ActiveSync. Great!

Thanks cjm1979. I tried that awhile ago and the same problem. Incidentally, if that really is the Native Nexus One e-mail program, it's identical to Improved E-mail. Leading me to believe, Google licensed it from the owner.

So right now, as I need HTML e-mail more than Exchange ActiveSync. I'm using the HTC Mail app with POP3 :(.
[Desire Themes and Apps] bradavon:
I've received a rather interesting reply from the owner of Improved E-Mail, regarding HTML E-mail and Moving e-mail between folders not working:

"I think the problem is that the Hotmail activesync is based on Exchange 2003 (Why I have no idea - that's 2 versions ago), and it does not send html mail to mobiles, at least to most email apps I know of - I think this may be a server side issue, but I still plan on looking at it, since I'd like to be able to receive html from other account types as well.

It *should* support marking/unmarking and deleting and having that propagate to the server. I was going to verify but I can't setup my hotmail account right now for some reason.

Also remember, hotmail doesn't 'officially' support Android yet, so maybe things will get better."
[Desire Themes and Apps] mital:
I've been using the Seven client on mine. It works with Hotmail and Exchange, with minimal configuration (less than a regular client). Not even sure if it's using Exchange ActiveSync as it has a dedicated hotmail option that works perfectly well with push mail and displays as HTML. The Exchange option asks for the webmail URL (actual URL, not just mail server) and also works perfectly well.

Hotmail option syncs contacts but doesn't offer the option to sync calendar.

Exchange option syncs all 3.

The contact search function is fairly unresponsive, as in I searched for a contact and waited ages and gave up.

The widget is very rudimentary. It takes up half the screen and shows the last 3 Exchange emails. Doesn't give me any option to choose which account it displays email for, so effectively no widget for my hotmail.

It doesn't really come close to the standard HTC mail app, other than actually working for hotmail which the HTC doesn't...

Hope this helps?

I am keen to find an alternative for HTC mail as well. I am still using my Windows Mobile 6.5 phone and no hotmail is one of the main reasons why!
[Desire Themes and Apps] bradavon:
Thanks Mitel.

How can I get hold of Seven Client? I cannot find it on the Market place.
[Desire Themes and Apps] bradavon:
Can you get this working with Hotmail? I enter https://m.hotmail.com and it errors saying:

"An error occured. Please try again (100)."

Interestingly the Gmail option does offer Contacts + Calendar. Only Contacts for Hotmail, like you say. It's a brilliant application but has some problems:

1. There is no Shortcut option, so you have to open the App from the Home screen and then it takes another tap to go to my Gmail or Hotmail Inbox.

2. Because of this, the App shortcut doesn't display the Unread e-mail count.

3. The Sent folder for both Hotmail and Gmail is local only. It's impossible to either display, sync or even have e-mails sent in Hotmai's Sent Items or Gmail's Sent Mail folder. Odd!

4. If e-mail needs to be truncated it displays as Plain Text and if it doesn't need truncating, it displays as HTML (if relevant). I'd prefer all html e-mails displays as html regardless but to get the option to switch to html you have to scroll to the bottom of e-mails and some newsletters are really long. There is no option to set if e-mail is displayed as plain text of html as default.

5. As said, the widget is weak but I don't use the widget for e-mails, so this doesn't bother me.

6. It's Push Mail only. The HTC Desire's battery doesn't sadly allow me the luxury of Push Mail.

The last one is a deal breaker. It's a shame as the setup is so easy (for Gmail/Hotmail it's just the username/password) and the interface is really well thought out. The unified inbox works well too. The search function works fine for me, pulling in contacts from the phone, sim card, gmail (if relevant) and hotmail (if relevant).

I didn't bother trying the Seven IM app because it only supports Gtalk and MSN. I need both MSN and Facebook Chat/IM support.

You can download the combined Seven E-Mail + IM App from here: http://community.seven.com/main.php

[Desire Themes and Apps] woodbane:
Here I come to hijack a thread for a device I didn't own but stumbled across as I was googling Android email apps.

In case you weren't aware, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the email apps or the way they connect to Hotmail using the exchange protocol.

It's purely that Hotmail Exchange via m.hotmail.com doesn't support HTML yet - it's a Microsoft issue. Will they ever implement it - who knows? But the fact remains if you want your Hotmail in HTML format then you're stuck with connecting via POP3 for the moment.

HTH. :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] bradavon:
Does HTML e-mail work on supported devices like the iPhone?

It works in Touch Down on Android but the UI is pretty ugly. I understand this bends the Exchange ActiveSync rules to support it. Why MS are using Exchange 2003 is strange.
[Desire Themes and Apps] woodbane:
No, HTML Hotmail is a no-go regardless of the device or app you are using. Hotmail simply does not support HTML over their Exchange connection, only POP3.

If you are asking about straightforward HTML in your email when connecting to say a corporate exchange account, then yes, obviously depending on the app and version of exchange.
[Desire Themes and Apps] bradavon:
Thanks

HTML e-mail does work using Touch Down though. I've seen it myself (make sure you're using the latest version, it didn't use to work). That is HTML e-mail using Hotmail Exchange ActiveSync, not corporate Exchange.
[Desire Themes and Apps] woodbane:
Huh, well I never. I guess I'll have to try it.
[Desire Themes and Apps] bradavon:
I read they bent the EAS rules to make it work.

Tried Nine -

currently put Nine on my LG G2 and cleared up the issues - did find interesting ; not sure if meaningful - have no issues with my HTC Inc2 running variation of GB / CM 7 (?) with stock or with my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 running OmniROM KK - theoretically "stock" should be the same with tablet and LG G2 since both on Kit Kat - but the LG notes IMAP 4 and the tablet just says IMAP -- so there is something different.

Tried Touchdown - it worked ; but do not like the interface - Nine is very clean ; just don't like the licensing ( per device ) - but that seems to be typical of the clients been looking at

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Gary.M:
gps.conf only sets timeservers. It can't alter the lock time. But there is a market app called Gps Status that will. It can download GPS assistance data, which locates your satellites. Lock is almost instant after you do that. There's a thread on it somewhere (search)

Hello all,

Just a question to see if anyone else is experiencing the same problem as me...

I am currently running froyo JPK firmware on my SGS and it's rooted running launcher pro plus, its not a custom tom and I don't have anything installed that I think could cause this, Apart from lag fix.

I've been running JPK since release date and all was well until today when i was quite happily browsing Facebook for Android and my phone just died and went off and I was unable to turn it back on, battery was about just over half before it died.

So I thought fair enough and removed battery thinking phone had caused error and wasn't responding, replaced but still wouldn't turn on.

I've now got it running but must keep charger in otherwise phone dies!

Has anyone else Experienced this?

If so how do I fix?

Also To add, i did do the battery statistics fix to fix battery time lengh on fw release date too :)

Thanks in advance

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gornul:
So for the past 2 weeks I am having issues that basically render my phone unusable for 99% of the reasons I bought it. Posted a thread before but I think it got lost when the forums were having some instability around that time...

My 3g connection will NOT stay up. I did nothing to provoke this. No system changes. The sequence of events:

-Went out of the country with my phone on airplane mode the whole time

-Got back, a day or two later had an incorrect timestamp on my incoming SMS (they were showing up +3 hours)

-Called customer service, she activated a tester phone and confirmed that it was a system-side issue on the incoming SMS (somehow they were getting a timestamp from the system where my number is located, in Eastern time, while I am actually located in Pacific nowadays).

-Put in a trouble ticket after 2 hours trying to solve the SMS issue over the phone.

-Next day, my 3g connection begins dropping CONSTANTLY. As it stands, it won't stay connected more than 30 seconds. It will cycle to 1x sometimes, and then drop to a basic-service-only.

-Tried reinstalling my ROM several times to no effect.

-Started experiencing some very strange noises in SOME calls, such as it sounding like a chainsaw when the other person is talking. Happens very sporadically.

-Just today I found some instructions here for correcting my NAM settings, which were actually messed up as it turns out, but didn't fix anything.

At this point I actually have the phone unrooted and back to factory default everything, with no change. I've got a warranty replacement phone coming in shortly, but I'd still rather keep this one if I'm able to.

Is there anything I haven't tried that might be the case on my end? Has anyone seen this problem before? Has my phone antenna simply gone belly-up, or is this something that might still be fixed at some deep system-setting level, or with further calls to tech support?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jager420:
Had the same problem with my phone before I rooted my phone and starting to apply ROM's. I havent had a problem since. But when I had that problem, I would just keep turning on and off the 3g and it would stay for a while. It was just a quick fix but it worked. Off subject how did you unroot your phone and put it back top stock?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kall00:
My phone just started doing this this yesterday. Whenever I reboot it, it'll come up, switch to 1x mode. After a while it'll try to switch to 3g mode, fail, switch to no service, and then either go to just basic voice with no data or back into 1x mode. I've tried updating the radio, switching roms, dialing *228, nothing seems to help.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gornul:
Jager, instructions on a full reset are right here under section 6. I'm not sure why it's struck out. Definitely suggest poking around more first.

New phone's in and still having major connectivity issues. The SMS timestamp remains as it was, and I can't get (steadily) more than like 35kbps. I'll occasionally bump to 500kbps for a quick spurt, and then my connection will drop entirely and struggle to get back up to 35kbps. My wife's Incredible works perfectly fine in the exact same locations, too, so this is something that absolutely has to be on Verizon's side, specific to my line.
