[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackoakx22:
Go under vibrant android and development you will find froyo roms. But they aren't "fake" they are simply roms that have been ported over to our vibrants. The only thing is 1. If you flash a froyo rom it will wipe your internal memory card and 2. and drivers for gps arg there therefore we don't have gps. 3. from what I have heard team whiskey/bionix is cooking up a 2.2 rom and I think they found a way to port the drivers over to our vibrant. so just sit tight and wait for that or just backup your internal memory card then flash a froyo rom

Hi Guys, the home screen (and all other screens on the phone) flicker and fizz on my HD7. It comes and goes. It started doing it yesterday and a reboot fixed it, but its come back today. It even got to the point where I could not unlock the phone because I couldn't see the keyboard on the screen. The whole screen was black. I eventually managed to unlock the phone because I remembered the location of the keys, but its a bit weird. The only thing I have installed recently is the Faceboot app. I think I'll remove that to see if it makes a difference.

Video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV2rREcoiOQ
[HD7 General] mictho100:
Not sure whats going on with youtube, but I recorded another one here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XDcA7c2Rb0

If it doesn't work, try again in an hour or so... hopefully youtube will have pulled its finger out by then and finished processing the vid! :rolleyes:
[HD7 General] mictho100:
Here's another vid of the keyboard going mad in the messaging screen... hohum..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goFLPT9UcCM
[HD7 General] schmoo:
If you press the volume buttons when it happens, it seems to fix it (well it did for me the one time I got to try it).

Gordon.
[HD7 General] walshieau:
What were you doing before this happened??
[HD7 General] mictho100:
Absolutely nothing! I literally just press the power button to turn on the screen to login to the phone (note: Im not booting, the phone is only asleep) and the issue is there. Its doing it by itself. As far as I can trace back my steps there could be two causes I can think of. Though these might just be a coincidence obviously. I installed the Facebook App (which is now removed) and I changed the wallpaper to a photo I took with the phone's camera. Not exactly 'hacking'.... I removed the Faebook app and changed the wallpaper and rebooted the phone. Its been OK since yesterday, but we'll have to wait a bit longer to see whether it returns. The keyboard bit is especially funky, as its a pain to type anything when all the keys are flashing randomly.... :rolleyes:
[HD7 General] poopilot:
This has happened about 3 times to me -- always when I'm running some fairly intensive UI operations - scrolling around the Zune hub, the marketplace. Could be a coincidence, I guess.

+1 (HD7) Happened a couple of times (wasn't doing anything special).:confused:
[HD7 General] silverkiller:
happens to me from time to time.. sometimes itll go away or i just reboot the phone.

it seems to happen when im doing a lot of things, i figure its just early glitches in the software
[HD7 General] ZombieSheep:
I've had both of these glitches today (the flickering home screen and the bizarre looking messages app), and I only bought the new handset yesterday. I know it's early days for WP7, but I really would have hoped there'd be some degree of stability.

Anyway, regardless of what I think, I'd appreciate the ability to terminate an application myself since this would appear to be related to a process not releasing the screen completely. Can't do it at the moment, but I hope Microsoft can give us that capability in the first service release.
[HD7 General] jessannis:
Similar Problem

Hey,

I've watched the Youtube videos that were posted and my problem is similar but worse, the screen doesn't just flicker it turns into a kind of trail when I scroll up and down on the home page. So for example my top two tiles are Phone and Messaging, when this happens I get partial images of those two tiles up and down the screen.

I'm not sure whether this is just a software issue or whether its worth returning now while its still relatively new and getting a new one.

I will see if I can find the photos I took on another phone and post them.

Any thoughts will be gratefully received.

Many thanks,

Jess
[HD7 General] lynxboy:
Hi Guys,

Sorry to drag up an old thread but I work for a major UK Network in the technical team and I've had a few customers reporting this fault on their HD7's. I'm just interested to see the general consensus of users and whether they have suffered this issue be it intermittently, constantly or even just once or twice. I'm also interested in whether there are any temporary solutions to the problem. I may be able to raise this further with HTC although from the looks of it, there are numerous cases open regarding this complaint. The puzzling factor is it only seems to affect the HD7 and not other WP7 handsets.

Thanks in advance.
[HD7 General] jimbonics:
Just once for me. What I noticed about it when it happened, was that it reminds me of the gleen flicker on the xbox360 when you power it off.
[HD7 General] Jim Coleman:
I get my screen completely garbagging maybe twice a week, reboot cures it. I suspect a firmware glitch which I'm hoping Nodo will cure.
[HD7 General] scoob101:
As you imply, this is a known issue. Its also been fixed already by HTC in a subsequent firmware which football has made available on another thread. For those not comfortable with flashing the firmware manually the updated firmware will be included in the NODO update.

A post in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1003919&page=2 confirms that the firmware is updated once Nodo is applied to a handset - 2250.09.16901.401 to be exact.

I manually flashed firmware 2250.09.16803.206 to my device which fixed the video issues.

Seems rather telling that you have come to XDA-devs rather go through your carriers formal business ties to HTC??
[HD7 General] digime:
Has anyone managed to charge their HD7 while it's powered off?

As soon as I plug in power mine boots up and if I try to shut it down while charging it boots up again.
[HD7 General] robart76:
Same issue here
[HD7 General] ruscik:
Well all my HTC devices did it. HD2, TD2, Orbit, Orbit 2 and so on so on.

It is not an issue, software is controlling charge.
[HD7 General] ceesheim:
the tp didn't do it .
[HD7 General] digime:
My Touch HD didn't do it.
[HD7 General] sutt359:
My HD2 did NOT do this how ever my HD7 does this lol
[HD7 General] ruscik:
I just pluged in my HD2 and it boots up ASAP. If I switch it off it stops charging until I boot it up.
[HD7 General] levy9:
I'm finding this issue really anoying, i like to charge during the night whilst my phone is switched off just like i did with my HD2 every night! Really needs sorting.
[HD7 General] churchwa:
Just turn on airplane mode and put it on silent.
[HD7 General] poopilot:
I discovered last night that the HD7 won't take charge via USB from a powered-down PC. I know the ports are still powered while the PC is off, as my Touch Pro used to take charge overnight.

Wondering if this is a hardware or software issue -- or some weird anomaly of Micro USB vs Mini USB.
[HD7 General] peterleyton:
my hd and orbit didnt do it :) but HD7 does as you saing
[HD7 General] dmystic1:
This probably has to do with the fact that windows phone 7 will perform a wireless sync with the zune software 10 minutes after being plugged into the charger, so the device needs to be on.

Hungry man has a post on how to recalibrate your battery
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
Charge your battery 100%, boot to Amon Ra, wipe the stats, reboot, drain the battery to completely dead, and you're calibrated.

Minor update! I recalibrate my phone today and realized something, this is reflected in a few new steps.

Step 1: Charge phone to 100%

Step 2: Wipe battery stats and shut phone off.

Step 3: UNPLUG PHONE and power on

Step 4: Leave phone on until it it shuts itself off. Do not plug it in.

Step 5: Turn phone back on, still unplugged. If it can't turn on that's fine. If it can turn on let it fully drain again.

Step 6: LEAVE PHONE OFF. Plug the phone in and let it FULLY charge without interruption. I let my phone hit the green light and then wait an hour before step 7.

Step 7: After it's hit green and you've waiting a while unplug your phone. Do not turn it on. Wait a minute and then plug it back in. If the light stays amber for more than a few seconds (like 10 tops) leave it charging again until it's green.

Step 8: Repeat step 7 until the light turns green very soon after you plug it back in.

Step 9: Unplug and turn your phone on. Enjoy your (hopefully) extended battery.

I also suggest using "Juiceplotter" widget. It "records" your phones battery usage and uses it to predict future battery life. It won't work perfectly for the first day or so but after it gets used to your habits it's very good at predicting.

here you go!

Thank You.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turtlegirl39:
I have done steps 1-3. I'm waiting for my battery to drain but it doesn't want to. If doing the first 3 steps seems to improve my battery life, do I need to complete the others? I have read that you can mess up your battery even more if you dont calibrate it right.

Thanks for all your help!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labnjab:
Yes you should still do the rest of the steps it will make your battery life even better

I just wanted to add that you're not the first one to experience that. I remember people mentioning many times in the past that their phones just won't die. Patience, grasshopper. :D At least it's a good sign for what you're calibrated battery will be like.

Thanks for the response guys. Also I am with goothu99 on this one. When the 020 023 026 firmwares came out in the summer i was one of the first and on the way I hit some bugs and snags here and there. Looks like the 2.1 is solid but i guess i wait a bit more. If not released next week what the heck I just use the global one that's posted. :D

Rogers 2.1 Upgrade

I don't see it being release in the next week or so.

I just upgrade 2 X10s on Rogers with the Nordic firmware with very little issue.

The issues I did find are APN will NOT setup, it looks like it will download, but it will NOT. The work around is backup the APN's before upgraded, then added internet.com apn address

Name: Rogers

APN: internet.com

Username: wapuser1

Password: wap

after this, you will have mobile internet access.

Second issue: The mobile backup will not work for the contact list. (you can backup using 1.6 but it will not restore in 2.1)

To backup your phone book, in 1.6 Open the phonebook app. press the left button, select backup contacts (maybe under More)

save them to the memory card.

After you upgrade, do the same thing and click on import contacts

select Memory card, select phone contact. Then your contacts will be restored

I don't recommend restoring the system settings but you can.

Wifi: working

mobile internet: working (after adding internet.com apn)

Camera: working and HD

Phone: working

Speed: MUCH faster

RAM: more available.

ROOT access: still testing.

I have an unlimited $14.99 internet plan, and at the TMo store, I was told I had to upgrade it to a $30/month plan to get the upgrade price for the phone. I just walked out.

If anyone finds a good way around this BS, please post.
[myTouch 4G General] DarkAgent:
Are you available for an upgrade? Typically they will grandfather in plans if you are available for your regular upgrade, but if you try to ask for an upgrade early they will force you to more expensive plans.

Your best bet is to call up T-Mobile and talk to their Customer Loyalty/Retention department. Depending on how long you have been with T-Mobile, they work wonders for you, albeit you would have to wait for your phone to arrive in the mail.
[myTouch 4G General] thebitjockey:
I need to fight with them today myself. I have a family plan and already had one phone with a $25 unlimited plan on it. When I added this line they put me on a $30 plan and did not grandfather in the $25 rate.
[myTouch 4G General] gaww:
Will try calling. I was eligible on this line, but they want to force people off the cheaper plans (some nexus users are still on $5.99 plan).

PS - went to their website, and it offered the upgrade, but when I started the process, it popped up a "warning" that I would have to revisit their website after they shipped it and set up an "android" plan.

Tempted to go through the process on my credit card (not on my TMo account credit - so they cannot pull back the upgrade "discount"), and when I get the phone - just put the SIM in and see what happens.

AT $180/year more for the data plan, it would be better for me to just pay the full price. Will get most of it back from my Nexus on eBay if I decide to keep the phone past the remorse period.
[myTouch 4G General] DarkAgent:
Fight harder -- depending on how long you have been with T-Mobile, they will give you their new Android Premium Web for $20 a month.
[myTouch 4G General] gaww:
I have been with them before they officially started up in the US (used them in Germany).

On hold - will see....

Guess what - from customer retention - $99 for the upgrade (not $199), and the $30 "android" plan for $20/month. I also have a 20 day period to return and restore my existing data plan.

From this and one other experience, it appears customer retention should be the way to go as a normal upgrade route (that is how I got the $14.99 unlimited plan a while back).
[myTouch 4G General] thebitjockey:
What's this Android Premium Web? I have been with them for over 5 years on the family account. My work account has been with them since the voicestream days.
[myTouch 4G General] DarkAgent:
Android Premium Web is just the official name for the $30/month unlimited data plan for Android phones.
[myTouch 4G General] jovan285:
That unlimited stuff is bs because its not truly unlimited any how u use over 3gigs for a certain month they drop udown to edge speeds but the only way u will know is if u do a speed test
[myTouch 4G General] gaww:
Would they also be doing that to existing $5.99 - $14.99 "unlimited" plans?
[myTouch 4G General] DarkAgent:
First of all, the soft cap is 5 GB, not 3 GB. Secondly, I hear if you live in an area where there is HSPA+, after 5 GB they will drop you to 3G, then after 10 GB they will drop you to edge.

Secondly, it is still "unlimited" because you can still use the Internet -- just at slower speeds.

Lastly, they send you a text message telling you they throttled your speed, so you know. If you have been a customer with T-Mobile for a while, and/or this only happens to you once in a while, calling up T-Mobile can typically get them to remove the throttle.
[myTouch 4G General] DarkAgent:
Not sure, but they probably do.
[myTouch 4G General] Dreh4christ:
i pay $20.00 for unl. inter. you need to call customer care and order your phone from them in order to keep your cheap inter.
[myTouch 4G General] Arcadia310:
I'm not sure why you guys think you deserve the right for an early upgrade when you are currently locked into a 2 year contract. If you try to talk them into it they have no choice but to force you to get the new prices.

I've never understood the purpose of locking yourself into a new 2 year contract every time a new phone comes out. If a new phone is coming out, and you KNOW for a fact you want it, then save up ahead of time and buy it full price. That way you can keep your old grandfather plans with the much cheaper pricing. Or you can do what I'm doing and go with their EM+ solutions, which only T-Mobile offers, and have a much cheaper monthly bill but buy your phones outright. It saves much more money, just sell your current phone on craigslist and pay the difference.
[myTouch 4G General] gaww:
I was not locked in on the line I upgraded with.

Currently using Nexus from eBay - will be selling it back there IF I decide to keep the 4G. If not, I have 20 days to return and go back to grandfathered plan.

I had been thinking about just paying full price and keeping my $14.99 plan if they had stuck with $30 for the plan.

What is their EM+ solutions and do you know what the EM+ price would be on this device?
[myTouch 4G General] floepie:
Well, it can't get any cheaper than what I'm paying - $30 voice and $20 data. I may get more minutes with EM+, but I don't need them. And, by upgrading I don't have to change plans or anything. So, I get the phone at subsidized pricing as I know I'll be with T-Mo anyway. Furthermore, if I DO need to change providers for any extreme reason, the ETF drops over time, so nothing is lost and everything is gained, at least for me.

dont know y u people make a big deal about the business decisions of tmobile... if YOU dont like the way things are handled for u to upgrade than GO TO ANOTHER COMPANY if not than suck it up and pay ur dues... bottom stop the whining... if ur gonna upgrade YOU must switch to the new android plan and i hope more people start sticking to this and stop giving into all these demands... when it boils down to it if ur really gonna leave than leave
[myTouch 4G General] :
T-mobile is one of the best companies when it comes to $ per MB of data and people will still ***** and complain that you can't cheapen out even more.

Be glad T-mobile is offering such a nice plan (5gb soft cap + restricted past that).

You don't have the duckets or dollhairs for it, then don't use it, it's a pay to play world people.

Smartphone web will work on android phones. Ive kept my smartphone web w/ VPN access for a Vibrant, HD2, E73, MT4G, MT Slide, and whatever else tmo has given me. The only thing that wont work is BB web. Now your rep can upgrade you in store without changing your data package but.... they most likely will not because they loose all commission on the deal when they process it manually. If he did that for you might be because you have brought him a lot of business. But if you do read the terms of the mail-in rebate as well as the price cards. It states you must have a certain priced data plan to qualify for the full discount and rebates.
