[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rincewindwiz:
Hi

I have an unlocked UK Leo that has the tmobile software on it which I used on the O2 network (phone only; no internet).

Its just over a year old and has started trying to connect to tmobile on the internet. It tries about once or twice /hr to connect. Sometimes, if I haven't used the phone for a few hours, I'll have to cancel several of these attempts to connect. Worst of all, if there are several cancels waiting and the phone rings, the HD2 locks up and I cannot answer the call. Removing the battery seems the only way to get the phone to work again.

I could flash a standard ROM but HTC tell me that will invalidate the warranty (and its already been back for repair once)

So is there some other way I can stop these attempts to connect to tmobile?

(I cannot find anywhere to remove the tmobile connection and it is not listed in connections)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrewsialNL:
If there's nothing in 'connection' settings, then it has nothing to connect too.

I can't quite remember the way to go there, but in connection settings, there is an option saying 'edit my connections'.

Tap and hold the connection and choose 'delete'

In the other screen there's the same connection name again, but with the option 'delete settings'.

That should do it.

I don't have my phone with me unfortunately (I wasn't running WM 6.5. anyway anymore ;) ), but this should be some sort of the way to go there :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
Its probably because something is set to auto update every few hours.

Peep/email/weather/facebook/3rd party app etc etc..........

Make sure everything that can update is disabled.

If you dont use the phone for data then you could use something like "touch tools" or a similar app to disable the data connection.

As you said, you coukd flash a new rom, you can always flash back to stock if you need to send it in for repair.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
HSPL it and flash the 1.66WWE ROM (or any custom ROM you like) - That'll get rid of the T-Mobile UK guff. Install NoData - which can stop all phone line data connections, but leave WiFi still operational.

I think the problem of random phone data connections is to do ActiveSync, on the phone, starting up. The only thing I noticed that it stopped after the 'clock going forward' problem's soloution of stopping the automatic Time Synchronisation. Once I downloaded HTC's solution and restarted the Time Synchronisation, the clock problem was gone but ActiveSync randomly started up again. So I stopped the Time Synchronisation. ActiveSync will start up when I connect to a PC, whether to sync with the PC or use as a DiskDrive.

I don't use ActiveSync on the phone to check for mail updates, as I have set my phone up to do that for myself.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rincewindwiz:
KrewsialNL: There is nothing in Start->Settings->Connections->Connections->manage existing connections. Sadly it does not stop it trying to connect to t-mobile server. That is the problem

conantroutman: Possibly. However, when it is trying to connect, Task manager shows only activesync running.

fred-up: Flashing a standard ROM is fine; flashing the original RoM if the phone is broken could be tricky depending on the break!!! And how do I get to keep a copy of the original ROM?

It seems when it happens that connection manager and active sync are (generally) running running but what started them off. AFAIK, all updating applications are switched off. Ive noticed a few times 'Direct Push' is busy switching itself off (green to grey) but have no idea what switched it on. I dont use Outlook and all data services are switched off.

Any ideas what might be triggering this or it is an evil TMobile plot?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
You don't need to keep a copy of the origional ROM as you can download it from HTC's website using the phone's serial number.

If you flash it via the SD Card method, then the HSPL will be removed. You could also flash it via the PC and then run HSPL2 and select the SPL version for the ROM you download (1.66.0000 for the T-MoUK 1.72 ROM).

I can't tell you if it is a T-MoUK evil plot because My T-MoUK HD2 lasted a week before I flashed it to the 1.66 WWE ROM (after flashing HSPL). T-MoUK took another couple of months to bring out their version of the 1.66 ROM (1.72).

Have you got any Live services installed (MSN or Hotmail) as these use the Direct Push?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rincewindwiz:
Not AFAIK.

It was all fine until (roughly) its first birthday and then this problem. I have not installed anything for ages so I am confused.

HTC escalated this over 2 weeks ago and I have, as usual, heard nothing.

I think its probably ROM flashing time.
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
OK guys, I emailed HTC about the LED and apparently it is a tri-colour LED

The aim of this being to get our LED to actual output any colour on the spectrum. The LED is capable of it, its just figuring out how to do it. The Desire Classic has the same LED yet they have Blue as one of their colours so we know its possible

Perhaps someone can try this within an app. See what we can get
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
Perhaps a place to start?
[Desire HD General] rorydaredkign:
What is the aim? To get different colours for different events? e.g flash green on new email, amber on new call etc, or something else?
[Desire HD General] vinnieminnie:
A while ago, someone mentioned a second led, next to the proximity/light-sensor. He also made a pic of it, it was definately there. Maybe you could try to incorporate that led in this project as well.
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
Updated the first post :)
[Desire HD General] JamesBarnes:
A tri colour LED does not mean it is capable of full spectrum colour.

It means the LED unit has 3 Diodes, each a different colour (probably tied to a common ground). To be able to reproduce all (most) colours the 3 LEDs need to be Red, Green and Blue.

In this instance however, it seems like the 3 colours are Red, Orange and Green.

The hardware controller likely is not capable of adjusting the brightness to each individual diode.
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
The LED is the same as the one in the Desire Classic which can produce Blue ;)

I did ask HTC for clarification and where to find the files to edit this. They just replied with "HTC does not offer development support" lol
[Desire HD General] JamesBarnes:
Definitely?

That is good news if its true :)
[Desire HD General] DN41:
thats wrong..it was the proximity sensor itself. digital cameras are able to make infrared rays visible (normally white).

take your dhd, go into camera, place your tv remote in front of it and press some buttons. you should see a white "dot" on your dhd screen.

+1 for the developement ;)

DN41
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
From what I could gather yup.

I've emailed asking for clarification
[Desire HD General] JamesBarnes:
Excellent, I hope that turns out to be the case.
[Desire HD General] vinnieminnie:
Even though this would be a clever explanation, that isn't the case. I found the video I was reffering to, here it is.
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
OK

HTC are being idiots. They won't tell me if a the Tri-Color LED consists of RGB or not, even though I said im trying to develop a LED notifier.

Can someone else please try and ask them. Don't think they liked me ever since I asked about the system files lol
[Desire HD General] DN41:
yeah there was a discussion some days ago..

it's definitely the proximity sensor!

DN41
[Desire HD General] perern:
that's what i usually do to check controllers, and everyone wonders if i'm crazy
[Desire HD General] bergfex:
one idea can be to disable the LED support for PM8053 and see if the notification LED is still working.

If this shows that the notification LED is driven by the PM8053, you can put some printk into the leds-pm8058.c file to see if the RGB mode is used.

...
[Desire HD General] kamranh3:
Evostance what's the email to contact HTC?
[Desire HD General] ynischa:
That is probably either the proximity sensor or the light sensor (the one that adjusts auto brightness).

Edit: After some extensive testing using the finger-over-sensor-test, I have concluded that the light from the video is coming from the proximity sensor and that the other sensor (the rightmost one) is the brightness sensor.

I really don't believe that it is another LED.

Recently we wrote about led the Desire HD: Please note that the following LED colors available are Green, Orange and Red Roso, to develop other Led suggest you visit the site www.htcdevelopers.com.
[Desire HD General] BumAround:
I set my expectations low: if any app such as handcent can produce blinking blue light, I'd be more than happy. :)
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
That says the colours available are Red, Green and Orange which is standard - not what the LED is capable of
[Desire HD General] Jason1978:
I built a simple app a while ago and used the google APIs to get the LED to flash and couldn't get it blue...

Will try and dig out the code...

Jason
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
I'm not sure if I'm stating the obvious, or perhaps something stupid, but is it not slightly possible that the LED simply does consist of Red, Orange and Green portions?

Why, because HTC say it has 3 colours, does it automatically mean that it MUST be RGB?

I'm pretty sure all my previous HTC devices (see my sig) have had Red, Green and Orange (and a separate Blue LED if necessary for BT)...
[Desire HD General] DN41:
Whatsapp can set the color of notifications.

If I try to set it, it says your device can only show green color.

Maybe helpful.

DN41
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
If it consists of a red LED then why can't we use it?

I think I might have figured this out.

Lets take what I am now assuming the DHD LED is.

Our LED consists or Red and Green. Now, HTC confirmed its a Tri-Colour LED. This simply means that we can produce Red, Green or we can produce a yellow color by having Red & Green on at the same time.

A bi-color LED would mean we could have either Red on or Green on, but not at the same time.

So even if we can't have blue, we should be able to get yellow. What we need though is the part number from the Desire LED and the Desire HD LED
[Desire HD General] :
It's probably somewhere in the kernel, i'll take a look today evening if I'm bored.

However, even if we find something, i'm not that sure we can use it from the android level. I remember when i was porting roms frmo the Hero to the Magic, the LEDs we're always the problem, because they we're programmed differently in framework-res.apk. I know they fixed it later on (capy/robocik/seo? one of them figured it out), but still, i'm against modyfying the closed-source files. But yeah, whatever. Probably some bit-banging on the gpio.
[Desire HD General] Rithina:
I think I seen blue led when I was running igo and when there is an incoming call and I reject it. Only 1 flash. Not sure if I seen it wrongly but I am 70% sure it was blue
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
Your running CM7, can you try getting something like LED me know and try to see what colours it gives you
[Desire HD General] gillepy:
I can only get amber or green using led me know.

EDIT: I can get red as well by disabling the compatibility mode, picking a custom colour (red) and making sure the screen is off. Im using CM7
[Desire HD General] bengylow:
so, what is the conclusion, any apps to control the led color ?
[Desire HD General] Rithina:
I saw red once too. Thought it was.amber! Soo close
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
Only seems possible if we have the drivers and the LED can support it which is a route I don't want to go down.

I'm not into hacking closed-source files and ending up like Geohot :P so if that is whats needed I'm not getting involved
[Desire HD General] kamranh3:
While you have a fair point I doubt HTC are gonna sue you for making your LED flash a different colour :P
[Desire HD General] ChronoWerX:
no new infos?
[Desire HD General] Yoshi_523:
^^ I've just tried out 2 apps "DesireLED" and "LED me know". Both of the apps work on my Desire HD but so far only orange or green colour.
[Desire HD General] Rithina:
They had just release the kernel source. Can you check if that is possible? Thx
[Desire HD General] m0RUe:
Still nothin' new ?... Such a shame !

- High hopes -

:D
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
I don't understand why people are still asking about this.

I thought we'd concluded that it pretty much only has green/orange (and maybe red)?

I'm a little rusty on my RGB colour mixing, but I'm pretty sure that you can't do much with those colours - maybe brown and yellow? Hardly appetising choices!
[Desire HD General] DN41:
i guess its because someone mentioned here that its the same "chip" than the desire.

i played around with a desire yesterday and it had many many more colours. for example blue (with handcent sms), etc.

DN41
[Desire HD General] MikeMelbourne:
I don't believe they are closed source. The first comment inside

ace-2.6.32-g5ed1769/drivers/leds/leds-microp.c has a GNU General Public License v 2 notice. This file mentions colours green, blue and amber; however if the tri-led doesn't support blue no amount of code will change that. :-|
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Markino:
Hi all!

I'm getting the notification int he status bar that the phone storage is low and I can't install some app on the phone memory but I've got around 20MB free on the phone storage... what's happening?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sanmikasan:
I suggest you move some apps to SD
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Markino:
Yes, that's the solution but my question is why I get this alert and I can't install other app wven if I've got room in the phone storage (aroung 15/20MB)?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
Because you're not supposed to go lower than 20MB of free space. Applications cache stuff, therefore further reducing that amount.

In short, that just reserves the phone some space to use data for applications. Not to mention Dalvik VM.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dongimin2:
Go to the apps folder, move the biggies into the sd card.. if u don't have enough space, sms bouces off (can't get it!!!!) :mad:
[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
This method is depreciated. Please use cicada's ZIP.

Hi,

After a very polite discussion with members of this community. I've simply decided to go back to my life without XDA.

Sorry.

I'll leave you these files which work for sure. These can be flashed using IOMonster's rootpack.

Overlclocked kernel 1100mhz FOR FROYO ONLY you could try out, but this kernel hasn't been exhaustively tested: -Download flashable 1100-froyo-test-kernel-install.zip here. -Download flashable 1100-froyo-test-kernel-removal.zip here. Kernels originally posted by dalingrin, found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925451

In case anything goes wrong and your NC won't boot anymore: Flashable zip (to copy to root of sdcard):

-Download flashable repartition-boot-with-froyo.zip here.

-Download flashable repartition-boot-with-stock.zip here.

If you use stock-boot after having flashed froyo, it will not be enough to boot entirely, it will only show you "touch the futur screen". For it to boot completely, you'll have to format system and data, then use complete-restore-to-stock-1.0.1 after that, or install froyo-emmc again. This should only repair your boot (mmcblk0p1) partition, allowing your NC to boot again. ​

See 'Restore to stock' thread regarding restoring/flashable zip download.

Thank you for your support.

Have fun.

@above: i agree, that would be useful
[Nook Color Android Development] bL33d:
Gonna pick a nook color up today this looks great thanks for ur hard work.

One think can a guy just make a backup via cwr?
[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
Well that's a question you should ask IOMonster. But one thing is sure, the sd's size (1gb) wont suffice for a total backup of the nook. And I'm not sure nandroids are totally stable yet..
[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
Anything is possible. Actually, all you would need to do from now on to make a flashable "mod", would be to make an .img of your customized system (with dd), making sure you leave all private data out of it. And then copy it to my existing zip by replacing the existing /tmp/system.img. The script would do the rest.

Well that's if you don't need to copy anything to /data. In that later case script would need just a few more lines...

That's all..

Sam
[Nook Color Android Development] xawen:
I've restored from a CWM backup several times to replace a development image that was less than functional :). As long as:

1) you only need to restore /boot, /data/ and /system

2) your new update .zip doesn't break CWM (doesn't replace uRecRam)

It should work fine.

Even if it does break CWM on install, IOMonsters SD should still work fine. Just some thoughts...

Superb!

Thanks so much. I've been really looking forward to this.

Also, fyi, I had to use IE to download the image, didn't work with Chrome.
[Nook Color Android Development] crashdau:
I got hung up trying to dd the blocks (mmcblk0p3), then device rebooted on its own...then got stuck in bootloop...pulled the sd card and shut down for 5 - 10 mintues.

turned on to see and it booted fine back to Auto-nootered Eclair....

Now just waiting to be able to download file....
[Nook Color Android Development] DyDx:
So, I have a CWM backup image that I've successfully restored in the past, that should suffice right?

Also, is it actually necessary to use this bootable CWM or is it possible to install the zip directly from CWM on my device?
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
For those who has done this (emmc), is it yielding noticable improvement over SD cards? One of my chief complaints about the current Froyo build is the lag (opening gmail can take upwards of 2 mintues sometimes, among a host of other complaints. How is the responsiveness now?
[Nook Color Android Development] samuelhalff:
It should also work with internal cw recovery. But then you have no way back without an sdcard, because cwr dosent boot on nookie yet.
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
So cwr doesn't work with nookie froyo yet? Does that mean that I can't flash a kernel without using the sdcard and in doing so loose all data because it will overwrite the boot partition? I think I'm confused:confused:

[Nook Color Android Development] barrosd12:
It's working pretty well right now. The touchscreen is responsive after the on-off trick and the lag goes away.

My only question is this: I keep trying to flash that overclock Kernel (the 1 Ghz for stability's sake) and I can't reboot into CWM...anyone else having this issue?
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
IM not talking about touchscreen response.. i mean actual application sluggishness. Again, things like gMail taking a minute+ to load.

Anyway, if the .img can be gzipped in linux, it should get it to a quarter of its size i believe.. at least all the other .img files have been like this.
[Nook Color Android Development] mckooter:
im not sure but couldnt you drop the 1ghz kernel in the sd card with bootable cwm and flash it from the bootable sd?

just a thought
[Nook Color Android Development] barrosd12:
I'll give it a try, can't hurt.

As for application slugish-ness, I'm still only running a few basic apps because I couldn't get the gApps zip to flash due to my CWM problem, but so far so good, I can only imagine once I get the overclock kernel running.

Apps take maybe a tiny bit longer to load than on stock Eclair, but you'd have to be paying extreme attention to notice. As for the difference between running this and running the old Nookie Froyos off SD, it's night and day, this build is actually usable. But again, that's what I've observed, YMMV
[Nook Color Android Development] wretchedlocket:
I'll offer up a mirror

I can't download these files without setting up a premium account. Depending on the amount of traffic these images are receiving, I'd more than willing to host the downloads as a mirror.

I can't download from slingfile at all. It just sends me into an infinite of "click here".
[Nook Color Android Development] Divine_Madcat:
Well, i certainly might be willing to give it a try, once we get the 1.1Ghz kernel in flashable form (though, i still wish the market wasn't so bhorked up, and downloaded at a real speed....)
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
How can I get the internal media to show up when I plug my NC into my computer? Now all I see is the sd card and another drive thats 0kb. In running windows
[Nook Color Android Development] barrosd12:
Just an update for you guys - I had to revert back to stock. Even though I booted into the CWM and everything updated beautifully, that problem was replaced by a different one, a bootloop one. I'd boot into Nookie Froyo to be instantly greeted by a "Powering Down" screen. At first I thought it was the overclock kernels, but then when I reverted back to the stock kernel and it was still doing it, I realized it was the gApps package.

If we could get this all into a coherent package (and maybe with that customized NF image that's floating around the forums), then this could be the best thing that's ever happened to the NC. Until then, it's usable so long as you only want to try out AOSP 2.2
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
Try the manual instal if your capable. Mine is running great after manually installing
