Hi, I have found a Dutch train application which gives information about train travel times etc. But after installing this app I get an error:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The system cannot find the file specified.

bij MobileLayers.MLTouch.AlphaControls.AlphaImage.CreateFormFile(String imageFileName) bij Trein.MainForm..ctor() bij

And a lot of square blocks....

You can download the app here:

mobilelayers.com/beta-software/mobilelayers-trein-applicatie-2/

Anybody know how to solve this error? Is it a Mini only error or does this happen on all HTC's?
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] wowkazmir:
Uhm, as much as i would love to try an resolve your error i have a question for you.

Why don't you just install the official ns-extra application which is updated and actually supported?

Besides it's free too :)
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] MobileMini:
Hi, thnx for your reply. Yeah thats possible, but I read their privacy policy. I don't like the idea of giving away my name, phone number and gps location data... It sounds a bit paranoid maybe, but I think the government already knows to much about people and their locations ;).

Could not find any information about how WinSocket on WinMo works.

Especially if I want to extend the interface to let all broken packets through.. is WinSocket responsible for it? As far as I understood if yes, then it should be possible to modify WinSocket for it, right?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i.alex:
Normally, using a lagfix just creates and formats some partitions on the sdcard, am I right?

How does that possibly affects battery life?? I mean in theory, because searching some threads i couldn't find a definitive answer about that (or if there is, i am sorry for spamming the forum with my ignorance).

From what i understood searching the above, is this the devs' bugs creating the battery drain? I am running doc's froyo 7.6.2 with no lagfix and i am thinking about leaving the default rfs scheme. (I used to have darky's 3.0 and 4.0-4.1 with advanced no-rfs jfs but the battery wouldn't last more than a day without using it much. And it's a phone dammit, it has to last more.)

I read at some threads here that some people have not seen a battery drain issue applying oclf 2.1. Applying that on doc froyo's 2.2 (7.6.2) would normally have the same effect on battery (close to none)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
What drains that battery is not the lagfix, it's Froyo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shocky2:
The battery life is worse, within a few hours I can go from 100% to 30%.

They need to address this asap, but then we've been saying that about the GPS and lag fix and they still havent been addressed.

If the next firmware, leaked or official doest bring some improvements I can see me switching phones.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinm2k:
Hi,

I have a bluetooth phone in my car, when I first connected the HTC Desire HD up, it had no problems, it paired and everything looked fine... around 10 minutes later, I noticed the bluetooth had simply disconnected from the car but was still running on the phone. I tried to reconnect it up to the car but it wouldn't, I then turned it off, and turned it back on.. it struggled to come back on, but after a few attempts it did come on and the car connected again...

About 5 minutes later the same thing happened again. At this point my phone started to really slow down, I looked in watchtower and the bluetooth was at the top of the list, soon as I turned off bluetooth the phone was responding fine again.

I have since tried connecting to the car multiple more times and have contacted HTC about it, but it seems to disconnect at random times.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems? I heard of similar problems with the original desire so wondering whether it could be something similar.

Kev
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quentin_rayner:
Hi Kev,

I am having similar problems with my Desire HD and Audi in car bluetooth system. I posted on another forum and found others were finding the same...

I pair my phone and within couple of minutes the phone has disconnected and won't re-connect.

Not found any definitive answer as yet, but seems BT in this phone isn't so good. Also read a post saying HTC were aware of this but an update wouldn't be available for sometime.

Hopefully someone else can shed some light!

I also noticed this the last few days with my Bury CC9056 carkit. I have my DHD since October 18th, and up till last friday it connected fine. Since then it connects to the carkit, but within a few seconds the connection is lost...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apprentice:
Me too. My connection to my Jabra car kit is stable once connected... but trying to get it connected in the first place is a total headache.

Never had this problem with my Desire, so why HTC should change the Bluetooth function in the HD is a mystery.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinm2k:
tbh i'm glad its not just me thats experiencing problems meaning it could be a software problem rather than something with my handset in particular.

I have been in touch with HTC about this, and I have just sent them the link to this thread so they can see i'm not the only one with this issue, so if anyone else has this issue it may be good to try and keep it all in here.

Mines also the audi in car system - do you find that you struggle to turn the bluetooth off and on again once it disconnects or that your phone becomes a little laggy until you turn the bluetooth off?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quentin_rayner:
Yeah - I use the bluetooth widget on the home screen and once it disconnects, it will either take ages to turn off and on again, or it takes 2 presses to turn off.

I have just purchased a Plantronics 230 headset as need bluetooth for my job and it works perfectly - it's no where near the quality of the in car one though.

Also booked in my Audi as it's still under warranty - spoke to them on the phone and they said they will try and update the firmware but the Desire HD isn't on their supported phone list. Have seen a copy of this and not many phones are!!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinm2k:
I would of thought though, that as long as the phone does connect to the phone system in the car that it is compatible.

I have had 30mins once out of it before it disconnected and it was absolutely perfect in that time, including the phone book etc.

I do believe its something to do with the bluetooth on the phone as its a bit strange the way it struggles to turn on again once it fails.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvhttn:
That really hacks me off. I mean, BT is a standard. The only reason Audi can give for not supporting a phone that supports at least the same level of BT as them is that they (Audi) do not adhere to the BT standard.

Now, we all know in real life that cars and phones have problems/bugs/whatever BUT unless they can show that there is indeed a *bug* with the phone then the onus should be on Audi to support it.

Dave
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljansens:
Just for the record, it is not just Audi. With me it is together with the Bury carkit, where it first worked fine. (and also works with all other phones...)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzymc:
I can confirm the issues with the BT. I have a parrot Mki9000 in my car and the first time when i tried to connect the DHD , the phone stopped to respond and I was forced to restart it. Since then the phone is paired with the car kit and works fine in a2dp mode for playing music, but when i try to make a call it simply not work. Yo better discribe the problem I will give an example:

The phone i properly connected and playing music, then it's ringing, but the ring sound is coming from the phone speaker not from the car. Then If i answer the call the sound comes from the phone (it shows that there is connection to the car kit). I've tried to press the speaker icon and there is a list with output devices (the phone, loudspeaker, and my car kit) I've tried to select the car kit several times , but there was no success. When I close the phone the music start to play from my car's BT system , so I think there is a problem with the handsfree function/protocol only a2dp works great , and I didn't have any issues with it. Also I've tried file transfer via BT, it works fine two.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZoidAndroid:
Mitsubish Outlander carkit

I can confirm the same issue with the Mitsubish outlander carkit. It even happens that it drops the conversation. sometimes it's ok for half an hour, sometimes it disconnects after 1-2 minutes.

I also have a Jabra (bluetooth) headphone and noticed that if you pick up a call on the phone the sounds doesn't route to the headphone. If I pickup on the headphone it works fine.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvhttn:
I have a Pioneer head unit with BT in the car and that seems to work OK, not withstanding the fact that the HU has BT issues of its own (hardware fix needed - I'll get a new unit rather than fix it as I want one with A2DP) but once connected it works fine.

I have a Plantronics headset that seems to exhibit the same problems as your Jabra. At least if I use the phone to answer the call the sound comes through the phone. Also, if I have been using the headset the next call I make goes through the phone speaker which is a pain.

I'm wondering if HTC are routing the sound through the device that's actually *controlling* the call? So even if a headset is paired and connected to the phone, if you use the phone to make the call, as most people would, then it assumes that that's where the sound should get routed. If so, doh .....!!!!!

Just to add, if the sound does get routed to the phone you can use the 'choose speaker' option on the screen to route it to the headset but you shouldn't have to do this.

Anyone reported these issues to HTC and got a meaningful response?

Dave
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljansens:
I did send an email to HTC. Their wonderfull answer was about: "is your phone mentionned in the compatabilylist of the carkit, if not drop the problem there"...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinm2k:
I am still waiting for a response from HTC.

Mines got to a point now where I cant even make a call, it connects to the car, I go through phone book (on car) choose person to call, press call.. it tries for a couple of seconds then comes up disconnected, about 10 seconds later the phone disconnects from the car and will nto reconnect.

My phone then lags like mad until I turn bluetooth off which according to watch tower is taking up about 80% of the CPU.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlCapone:
any updates/solution to all these problems ?

I need it to work with MW600 before buying Desire HD
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinm2k:
Last contact I had with HTC is they told me it had been escalted to the software team, so i'm guessing next time a software update comes out it could come about in that, but at the minute no still not fixed.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawrence750:
I've always thought that that's the way it is on all BT headset phones, it makes sense, if the incoming call was for my girlfriend, she can answer from the phone itself, and it automatically routes this through the phones speaker, and if it was answered from the headset, then it routes to the headset.. makes sense to me, I think it's quite good that it does that!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deechte:
Do any of you have the process com.android.phone crashing when making a phone call through BT?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l0w:
Ditto my mitsubishi outlander factory bt system. Seemed to work fine first time but then disconnected during first call and would not reconnect for days. Then after connecting not all functions would work ...no incoming call alert on car system, no dialling from car etc. I know the car system is fine as all functions work perfectly with my old nokia xpress music.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlCapone:
I trust that all of you bother to report this to HTC, at least once per instance ? :)

- otherwise I don't know when they'll fix this..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A|ex:
I have never had bluetooth working at all right (apart from pairing it with my dell BT3 adapter). It doesnt seem to want to work with my tomtom or several BT headsets. It connects, pairs then drops
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvhttn:
Hmmm. That's the way it's working both with my Plantronics headset (see earlier post) and also with my BT head unit in the car. However, it's not the way I've been used to as a long time Nokia user. With them (and a Sony Ericsson I briefly had) the audio was routed to the BT device (by that I mean, headset, car unit, whatever) no matter which device (phone or headset) did the actual physical button pressing to answer the phone. To me that makes sense as, if I went to the trouble to pair with a BT device, then I want that device to operate as the audio device.

Just tested both the BT devices I use regularly, a Plantronics 520 headset and a Pioneer head unit in the car. With both of them the audio gets routed to the device that answered the call. So, if I'm in the car and use the HU to answer then the audio gets routed to the car speakers/mic, but if I use the phone to answer the call then the phone speaker is used. Personally I find that method of operation a bit of a pain as a) my phone is nearer to me in the car than my HU and b) I've got to *unlearn* which button to press from years of Nokia ownership .... :confused:

However, from reading this ... http://www.bluetooth.com/SiteCollectionDocuments/HSP_SPEC_V12.pdf ... (see section 4.5) it would seem that HTC are correct and Nokia are wrong .... :eek: HTC get it right according to the BT sig.

Also, when the call is answered you can touch the loudspeaker symbol on the screen and route the audio elsewhere and it takes about 2 seconds to transfer so all is not lost!

So, to sum up. When the DHD BT connects to something it works properly. At least for me. However, I'm not seeing any 'not connecting' problems so can't comment on those issues!

HTH someone.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlCapone:
the Sony Ericsson MW600 works perfectly with HD2 - both for music, video & voice.

to me, it's important that it will work just as well with Desire HD.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvhttn:
Strange. But I never use the headset to initiate a call, I always use the phone to dial. When dialling the audio is always routed to the headset/head unit when dialling. Hmmm.

We don't have any Bluetooth experts on here do we? It'd be nice to make sure exactly what behaviour Bluetooth devices are meant to have before accusing HTC of messing up.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synthespian:
I'm having the same issue with my Nissan.

I have a feeling tho it's more something to do with the device going on standby rather than anything else.

I turned it, connected fine, and then after a minute after the screen turned off, it disconnected.

Got it up and running again, and once again, the screen went off and it disconnected.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kleen:
Not sure if this is related, but I can't seem to use the bluetooth stereo headsets at the same time as the WiFi connection. i.e. using BT headset while watching you tube seems to crash. Works fine without using BT for audio.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlCapone:
just tested, WIFI + BT works fine, (tested with youtube)

minw MW600 works very fine, never had trouble with it, but if you miss caller-name, and track name, like I do, then vote (star) this issue:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xr0n0z:
it works and is fully compatible with MW600. the problem is that sometimes it seems to be paired, but there is no connection. Another problem is that you cannot make the bluetooth permanently discoverable. only for 120sec and maybe this is the reason.

sorry for the bad english
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlCapone:
120s discoverable time is not a problem, just provides better security against hacking and BT-trigged "events" :)

-MW600 may stop working after a while, a phonecall can not be moved to it - rebooting MW600 works then. This behavior does not exist in windowsmobile. - but WM is very much slower when it comes to response/music controls.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinm2k:
I also flashed with LeeDroid, since doing that my bluetooth problem completely went. Not sure if its been fixed in the latest HTC release though but as far as Im concerned mine's gone due to custom rom!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quentin_rayner:
Maybe a fix??!

Hi,

I found a fix finally!!

It was posted over at Android forums . com.

If you go to settings > power saver > "Disable Bluetooth" (Turn off Bluetooth if not in a call) and un-tick the box you might find it works as expected for Bluetooth!

I regularly drive more than 3 hours and it hasn't dropped BT once yet. Also allows access to my contacts through my car (Audi MMI)... am very happy!

Hope this helps - many thanks to GoodGravey who posted this fix.

Fixed 75% of the problem for me, but I still experience disconnects or missing audio (while connected). On top, it seems to have messed a bit with the GPS which now occationally won't connect or disconnects while in route. Bit of a paine, but all in all I'm better off now though! :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synthespian:
Sadly, mine still disconnects.

Turned off Power Saver entirely, uninstalled my taskkiller, and crossed my fingers for the return journey, but no joy.

It disconnects when the screen turns off (a few moments later).

However, I did manage a call the other day and it stayed on. Seems wierd.

Bluetooth Car Kit (Handsfree) disconnecting

I had the same Problems with a JVC Car Stereo with Bluetooth.

My DHD connected to the handsfree but after a few seconds (as soon as you permitted access to the Phones Phonebook) disconnected. One solution was to not allow access to the phonebook.... but that was not very satisfying!

After a factory reset everything worked fine but as soon as I put my contacts on the phone the problem appeared again so I started looking for the problem. I started to overhaul my Contacts, and when looking at Linked Contacts…. I found that I had a lot of links in there…. Many of them double, treble or worse (10x) the same contact connection.

After clearing all these wrongly or better said excessively linked contacts my Bluetooth connected fine without any problems including the phonebook access and everything.

I must have deleted some 1000 linked contacts (10x the same phone contact etc.) took me some time but it was worth the effort.

I guess these excessive linked contacts came from using smartphones for a while and always syncing the contacts back and forth… and always answering nicely “yes” when your phone asked you if you would like to link this phone contact to this google of facebook contact …..:D

Hope this helps someone with the same issues...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam4U:
Sorry to disappoint you, but on Settings there is NO power saver, so what are you really using??
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synthespian:
I can confirm that it is the address book!

I unpaired the device and re-paired it but did not give the car access to phonebook. At no point did it disconnect.

Worth replying to HTC with that mail, because it's a bug if you can't connect to the address book, and even more of a bug if the car can see people's names without having connected to it (which I could!)

I have the solution !!!

Guys, on when I bought my DHD 10 days ago, I immediately put my hands on configurations & settings. You know what ? I never had any disconnection between DHD and my BT car system.

Yesterday I made some other changes and you know what ? I got some BT disconnection. So I reviewed what I did, made some undo and...voila'...no BT disconnection any longer !

:)

Wonder how ? :rolleyes:

Listen to me. I have standard ROM from HTC, and I have a program called "Pannello auto". English version would sound "car kit", I assume. Ok, get into it, open settings, open "ket per automobili" (in English should be "car kit" once again). You should get 2 settings like "automatic load" and "automatic connection" (I am just guessing what the English version would be"). Ok, now ensure you have BOTH checked.

Voila' ! See if it disconnects now. I bet no !

More in deep you may notice that it shortly disconnects when screen goes off. 1 or 2 seconds later it reconnects and stays forever.

Let me know. If it works I deserve one beer !

Ciao !
