[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuthin fancy:
I think we are on to something here I just had another buddy come by and bring his HD7 and it feels completely diffrent! The 2 clicks are easily identifiable on his phone but there is no second click on the problematic phone. At this point I am 95% sure that the camera button is the culprate but that 5% variable is driving me nuts so I will be doing some very carful "non warranty voiding" partial disassembly to see if can make this a 100% confirmed post and see if there is an easy solution for those that wont have a warranty exchange option in the future ;) will be back tomorrow with update.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
if you still have warranty i wouldn't risk voiding it, even if you bend the back to get the plate to move out of the way. i'm pretty sure htc can tell when a device has been tampered with (though carriers normally can't).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuthin fancy:
HTC will most deffinatly know if a device was tampered with because usually even if you bend the backplate i would think that the plastic will show signs of force on the stress point where the screws are not removed and I have still not been able to remove a lower lid with out showing signs of it being removed (minor scuffs or scratches to lower plate). With that in mind I would NOT recomend this if you are outside of your carriers exchange period if that is the case just do a warranty exchange. In our case he is still with in he 14 day exchange period with carrier where they only check for extensive exterior damage and the infamouse liquid damage which we are clear of. So regardless the results that I come up with he is going to be exchanging the phone in store with carrier, gotta love those brick and mortar return polices :D
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuthin fancy:
here are the results I'll try to be as detailed as possible and will also try to upload some images.

The camera button was the problem and was easily resolved here is the process. I removed batt lid and sd card lid (lower lid with metal strip) grabbed my t5 driver and started started removing the all the screws ( for more details on that part do a search for "HD7 SD card upgrade") here is were it gets interesting, once I removed all the screws I pressed the camera button and it was now working properly !! I fired it up and it booted up normally with out any issues. I put all the screws back in and decided to check it 1 more time before putting both of the lids back on and the button felt wierd again I powered it back up and sure nuff it got stuck in boot loop again. Here is the solution and remember as The Gate Keeper stated none of this is worth the hassle if u are still under warranty just send it out and get a new one ;)

Remove all screws from back plate with a t5 torx driver (I removed all but 1 screw to avoid removing warranty sticker on screw head). Once all screws are removed gently lift of rear plate, it should come off easily if any extra effort is needed revise that all screws are removed.

once back lid is removed you will notice that one of the torx screw is located right next to the camera button area this is were the problem is created some how when the back lid is screwed in that screw is causing the back plate to apply pressure to the button mecanisim area not allowing the camera button to make proper contact with the switch when fully pressed.

my solution was to put a tiny strip of 2 sided tape right by the torx screw so that when it is put back in the thick 2 sided tape will keep the necessary clearance between the back plate and the button mechanism. I will try to post pics asap!

hope this helps anyone with this issue feel free to PM me with questions.

If you have a HD7, your phone is defective. I had the exact same problem, took it back to Tmobile and got a new one and it works perfectly.

Things you will try to do and which, for a short amount of time will work:

1. Remove and re-insert SIM.

2. Hard Reset

3. Connect to PC

4. Remove from case

5. Walk into store to complain.

Trust me, phone is just broken. Return it and get another one or be in for a world of hurt. HTC HD7 owner.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncbenhk:
I am having the exact same problem. Just received my brand new HD7 today from T-mobile. Was excited to power it on, but it never made it through the "connect to PC" screen and constantly reboots itself. There is nothing you can do on the phone, all it does is that it shows the HTC logo, then a picture indicating connect to PC, then reboots itself.

EDIT: Problem solved by sliding my fingernail into the little hole next to the camera button to unjam it. However everytime the camera button is pressed all the way down it gets jammed again.

Dell Venue Pro. The UI is new and refreshing. Out of all the OS I have owned, I like WP7 the most and see a lot of potential in the OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] OGCF:
It's really impressive that MS has made WP7 just feel good, you know? It acts almost exactly as you expect and it's the most comfortable experience with a smartphone I've ever had.

I've used Android and my family has an iPad that we use in the living room, but I always feel kind of overwhelmed and stressed whenever I use those. WP7 is just relaxing to me for whatever reason lol.
[Windows Phone 7 General] truffle1234:
HD7... i cant ask for more... however i heard the camera on samsung takes better pictuers???
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
I have used webos, iOS, android, wm (from wm2002to wm6.5), symbian (p900 years ago) and wp7. The 2 that I like most are wp7 (primary device) and webs (I keep my pre as a spare phone, we also have a family iPad which we keep in the front room because it is good for media consumption with that 9pm display. WP7 was a revelation to me when I first used it and still makes me smile everybtime I pick my phone up, yes there are a couple of missing features compared to android, but nothing that I really notice day to day, it is strangely liberating going from compulsive rom flasher on wm and android to just using a phone that just works, fluidly, quickly, intuitively, I flipping luv it!

Now there's fanboism for ya!
[Galaxy Tab General] mario23:
Upon hearing about the price drop, I called Sprint to get my $100.

Believe it or not, I was instructed to come in and exchange for a new Gtab in order to get that money back instead of just giving me the credit...whatever.

Here's the important thing.

With Sprint saying they have a huge event coming on Feb 7, I made sure I will have 30 days to return as of tomorrow in case this is what I suspect it is. I wonder if they plan on releasing a dual core honeycomb ready tablet?!?!?!?

I have to be prepared for that because I feel that if they do this, Gtab owners are screwed if they can't exchange. Even if they don't, if Verizon holds true to releasing the Xoom next month, I want to be prepared for that option also.

I hadn't seen this posted here yet so I wanted to at least let you all know what I had to do to get the Sprint payback but also so we could discuss any revelations here about all this...
[Galaxy Tab General] maxjivi05:
I'm going to return my tab if they don't give me a credit or cash without exchanging. And ill go to another carrier
[Galaxy Tab General] synplex:
It's probably a refreshed version of the samsung tab with 5mp camera and wimax just like the new verizon samsung tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] maxjivi05:
That would make me happy...
[Galaxy Tab General] maxjivi05:
Called 800 number got 106$ back Im still going to take this device back though and get a gsm one of some sort just because more devs are on them and we get over looked.
[Galaxy Tab General] mario23:
My wife went to the Sprint store by her office and exchanged it for me today...as she was told to do. They told her once she got there that she could keep it and just get the credit. She told them that since we had to wipe it out and she had to make a trip there, she wanted a new one. On top of that, it was the only way to secure the 30 day return policy starting today. This way just in case something big happens on the 7th, we still have a chance.

The only rumors I can find on line indicate they could be coming out with a 4G Galaxy Tab on the 7th as has already been mentioned.

I can't seem to find much else that would help us out as far as what may be coming...

Does anyone know where there is a guide to creating/editing an existing rom? There are a few out that i really like, but it's because of bits and pieces of each. I'd like to try to tweak some things or try to start from scratch. If anyone knows i'd be thankful.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mordant80:
So I've done a lot of searching and haven't really found anything definitive. I've found that with some roms I'll lose GPS signal after a certain amount of time (say 10-30 minutes) and have to turn GPS off and back on or reboot the phone. I saw something about flashing a different radio may make a difference. Kinda just wanted to see other peoples thoughts on the issue or if maybe there is something else I can do before I go flashing a different radio.

Currently running CELB 4.1 and baseband 2.42.01.04.27 and I have the issue.. I've had it with most of Tazz's roms as well. KaosFroyo is the only one Ive used that I've never seen the issue with, but I'm really diggin CELB right now and this is the ONLY issue I've got with it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bayhill Jacket:
Have you tried GPS status in the market? I know it will help you lock in a signal, so it would make sense that it would also help keep your GPS locked in.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mordant80:
I have now.. I did the reset and download options in the program. Too bad this isn't something I can quickly test. I'll report back with the results. Thanks!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I have noticed this as well. Last time it happened to me it was 4:30 in the morning, and the "GPS lost" message came up about 180 seconds before I had to make two freeway changes in an area I'd never been before. (CELB 3.9 and same radio as your case). Fortunately for me I had reviewed the route, so I more or less knew what to do.

If I recall correctly, it has always happened after the Nav app had been running for a fair bit of time - at least 30 minutes or more.

However, I don't know if it is something about the root ROMs or not - I started using rooted ROMs back in March or so, so I really don't have a tremendous operating baseline on stock 2.1 ROMs to compare it to. Maybe it is a problem there, too!

If I recall correctly, the last time it happened, I just pulled up GPS Status and asked it reload the aGPS state (without exiting the Nav app), and the Nav app seemed to gracefully recover.

Annoying? Yeah. I don't know what can be done about it, though - like the "undead calls" problem, it happens so infrequently that it is hard to know whether or not a ROM change actually fixes the problem.

I had the same problem with every 2.2 rom I used GPS with. I decided to go back to 2.1 because I have been needing GPS alot more often lately but I havent tested it out since I made the switch. I'll try it out today and report the results tonight.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
This same thing seemed to happen on the 2.1, CyanogenMod 5 based ELB by Conap as well. If it is happening with all of the 2.2 ROMs, I wonder if it's just a CyanogenMod issue?

See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6812308#post6812308 (this was not the only person reporting it, if you search that thread.)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mordant80:
I really don't think it's ALL 2.2 CM roms though. I've gone on 7 hour car trips with Kaos Froyo without a single drop.. to and from. I've seen another theory somewhere around here about it being certain hardware revisions that act this way with certain software builds. At lease we've got a thread dedicated to this issue now.. maybe we can get something figured out.

Still don't know if the GPS status program helps.. I left navigation turned on for a bit sitting in my house and it stayed connected for the half an hour I left it, just don't think that's gonna be an accurate test with not moving around and all. If it doesn't work I will try a different radio.. I saw somewhere one guy had good luck with a specific older version radio. If that's what it comes down to I'll try.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] homer169:
I have been having issues with the GPS working on both of my phones while using 2.2 roms. I switched to 2.1 a few days ago and I used the GPS on my way to work this morning and didnt have any issues. I also had to flash Senseable a couple of months ago while on a road trip because I was tired of loosing the GPS signal every half hour. It may be a CM thing.:confused:

I've had this issue, after I flashed KaosFroyo(v36), and XTR(4 i think). I recently unrooted using Flashback21 v1 and flashed with the radio included. I have gone back to xtr 5 now and have had no lost gps in over a week. Don't have a clue as to why. hope it helps someone.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haganme:

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrocker23:
I have flashed the radio directly with the verizon zip file that is around and I still get inconsistent results But it always drops a signal eventually in about a 1/2 hour
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haganme:
I've seen it on several ROM's as well. From what i've messed with, it doesn't seem to be dependent on the autokiller memory preset, radio firmware, or amount of overclocking i'm doing. It doesn't seem to be dependent on how many programs are running either. I usually have nav and pandora running while i'm in the car, and sooner or later, the gps poops out.

I feel like it seems to happen less, now that i'm back to using the on-demand governor. but that could just be in my head.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] homer169:

Odin is Windows only. You could run it under Wine or a virtual machine, but given that it's meant for flashing your phone, I'd avoid doing that. You could use the open source replacement, Heimdall, though.

[Hero CDMA General] Akkeresu:
Just a quick lil' documentation as to my Cellular South HTC Hero's first major downfall after over 7 months of use.

After using many different ROMS and lots of use on my phone, I decided to RUU to get a new radio and such, and see how it would run. So, after running the update, I noticed the SD card was "removed" and Sense was slow as ever. So, after playing with a few different cards and making sure the cards worked, I called CS, told them the issue, and for the short version, said "LOL borked, invoke your warranty!". So, nice and simple, I went to the store, paid the fee to do it on the spot, and got a brand new Black Hero with the new hardware, plus the 2.1 update 1 (to be rooted shortly, and CM back in. XD )

In short, has anyone had this issue before, and has anyone noticed a difference between the silver and black hardware? Take care, y'all!

ClockworkMod can partition an Ext3 partition on the SD card. You need to search this forum for threads about moving the Dalvik cache to the SD card using Apps2SD.

Interesting. I didn't realize there was ever any controversy about "Task Managers". I think that "Task Managers" and "Task Switchers" are fine and have a purpose. However, "Task (Auto) Killers"...that's an easy "No." for me. Sadly, I think people probably use all three of this phrases / designations interchangeably even thought they're definitely not the same and serve different purposes. So, they've all been demonized to a degree. The line is further blurred by apps that try to be all three.
