[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] timjonas2:
I have the same issue. If I hold the proximity sensor directly to a bright light source the screen comes back on but I'm not always near a bright light source. I've been making calls on my bluetooth headset because that has a hardware hang-up button. If someone could work out how to hook up the hd2 hang-up button this would be a massive help...

EDIT: i make some test, plese discard this post (test result in post #5)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Marvlesz:
I'm not sure about yours, but after I finish my call I just remove my phone from my ear then the screen show up . Regardless where I am (dim or bright place) the screen responds to the movement of the phone away from my ear .
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] nushuth:
ok, i make some other test.

confirmed, we have some problem with proximity sensors.

when i make a call, the screen become black. immediately, witoutn anything else.

wen i remove the phone from my ear the screen will NOT come up UNLESS the other part hang up.

for example: if the other part use an answering machine, i am able to record my message, but the screen DOES NOT comes up when i remove it from my ear.

if the other part is a friend, and HE hang up the call, my screens lights up, again, sayng "call ended". then return to the home screen.

if i'm in-call, and i expose the phone to a bright light, the screen comes back too, sowhing all in-call options (speaker activation keypad, and some other things)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] B4PJS:
Just press the normal hang up button and that should act as the power button to bring the screen back on...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] nushuth:
during call this button doesn't do nothing.... :( already try with all button..

i just play with registry entries, some are interesting.

HKLM\Drivers\Builtin\Proximity

ScreenOffDebounceTime DWORD:50 (Decimal value)

ScreenOffThreshold DWORD:256 (Decimal value)

But i cannot figure how they affect screen (i try to change their value with no effect)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] nushuth:
update:

seems i fix it!!!

after an UPGRADE (hehehe) to winMo 6.5, i realize that problem still exist.

then i remove a portion of the screen protextor and proximity sensors works again!

even if i use original HTC screen protector... :\
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] timjonas2:
I've tried that already but it didn't work for me. I did have my screen replaced so I wonder if the problem started then...

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] omarza:
Strange one this...the red button (bottom right of the 5 physical buttons) just brings the screen to life for me and should work I would have thought regardless if screen is replaced.

Flashing with one-clock started, it said that setting up .pit file and then averything stopped.

I was waiting for 20 minutes it didn't finish flashing.

When I turned phone on I saw phone-comp logo.

Went back to Download mode, got 512.pit file, opened odin and tried to do repartition. same result.

HELP PLZ!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazin619:
With odin open and your usb cable ready to plug in take out the battery from your phone. Then put it back in. Then very quickly hold the both volume buttons down and plug the usb cable in. You will enter download mode and odin will recognize it.

Quick suggestion. Use odin one click to flash back to stock and do a master clear or you will continue having issues.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elproserado:
I did the same the other day. Blamed the tiredness. To repair I flashed jpo with odin with 512 pit, pda, phone and csc files and re partition ticked. Then updated to jpy, installed custom kernel and away you go.

If you're going to flash with pit files and re partition you must also have the pda, phone and csc files. Or so I read. Worked for me anyway. As long as you have three button recovery and can access download mode you'll be fine.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franky414:
so she bought a new phone without even powering it on.. she came to my house and later said it was stuck on a boot up image that read team whiskey, im no phone buff so i have no idea what going on. i put out a help post on craigslist and i was referred here for help..

so please let me know whats going on with this

BTW its a samsung vibrant
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charkey:
Awesome. At least she made the right choice in purchasing the phone from someone who used the right ROM.

What you're going to need to do is either get the phone into Recovery Mode or ODIN back to stock.

I'm guessing you will need to ODIN back to stock as it's stuck on the boot screen. Do a search in the Development forum and look for the latest ODIN package where it includes the ODIN program and the necessary files to bring the phone back to stock (.tar, .pit, etc.)

There are walkthroughs on how to run the program as well.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T313C0mun1s7:
If it says Team Whiskey then it probably has the newest Bionix ROM. One of the best to have on it. If it is the first boot after the cache is cleared it can take 10 minutes for it's first boot to rebuild the cache. If it is the first boot after the ROM was flashed you should wait a full ten minutes for the ROM to complete its initial setup and then reboot it. Since you don't know I would wait anyhow, it can not hurt. DON'T TOUCH THE PHONE DURING THESE INITIAL TEN MINUTES OR IT WILL BE BUGGY.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:
However, if its stuck at boot as the OP stated, then Odin to stock is probably going to be his best bet. The third link that was posted by T313C0mun1s7 is the place to start.

You have some work to do OP, you're best bet is to Odin back to stock, and you will find the resources needed in the Vibrant Bible linked above. Good luck.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yaz75:
Bottom line Franky is this:

It's not un-fixable. The posters here are correct in that if you can see the logo you're seeing, then it's more than likely fully recoverable and can be a great phone. The post here that has provided you links is a very good one. Best thing you can do is read all the "noob" guides/FAQ/bible threads that are stickied to the top of most of the categories in the Vibrant section. They contain a TON of useful info. If you can use a PC and have the correct USB cable, you can get it done.

And if you do get it back up and running, and she got a deal on it, she might not be so stupid after all!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
A quick background for you on terms and what's what since you are not familar with the phone

The Vibrant was originally sold with a software operating system Android 2.1 The version of that system was JFD which, the letters are code for version and release date. So, when you read all the numbers/letters they are talking about newer versions... the latest and greatest.

I would 1st try turning on the phone and let it sit for 10-15 min and see if the previous person did not complete the installation process. If it goes to the home screen, then you are good to go. If not, then you will need to Odin back to stock.

If you can see a logo, the the phone will respond to software via Odin. Odin is a software you load on your desktop computer , it opens a menu that kinda looks like an custom excel sheet. In the upper left corner when you plug in the phone to connect to the desktop with Odin already open,it will say com 0 , com8 or something what it reads out is less important what is important is it recognizes the phone. From there the noob guide will explain everything else.

This is a super phone, especially because you can modify it so easily and it is REAL hard to permanently brick (permanently break). Read the bible and members S15274N noob guide......... his sticky in general is pretty complete and very easy to understand. If you get stuck come back to the forum and we will help you solve. Good luck

In the Noob guide it will have the drivers Odin and the other utilities you will need.

How much did she pay for it? If it was like $500 +, then yea, that was really stupid but if she got it for under $150 because it was supposedly "broken", then she had unintentionally made a smart buy. The seller would've been the stupid one for not researching on how to revive their Vibrant.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vnamee:
This phone is really resilient, and if you're still getting images on the screen, you can still fix it. The trick is to get it into download mode, which can be hit or miss, and may take several tries. There are different methods posted around the internet, but for mine, I hold the vol+ and vol- and then plug in the usb cable connected to the computer. If it goes into download mode, then you're home free. Once you Odin it back to stock, you can go anywhere from there.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=929868

The instructions for the HD7 have a pretty good chance of working on other HTC phones as well. Unfortunately, HTC doesn't seem to like including tethering support built-in (unlike Samsung) but the OS can do it, if you install the right software.

Currently, this is all tethering via USB. It's a little less convenient than WiFi or Bluetooth, but it doesn't kill your phone's battery life either (and you can share the connection out through your laptop's Wifi if you want to).
[Nook Color General] Screwbal:
Hey folks,

I know this is the 'color' section but if anyone would know I have to imagine the folks here would have an answer.

Ran across a clip on youtube earlier showing how easy it was to crack open the nook 3g and upon that saw the removable SIM card. Does anyone know if that card could be yanked and tossed into a laptop if you had one of the internal mini PCI-E cards that use the SIM for data?

Left me wondering if it would be a nifty way to enable 3g in a laptop without picking up a dedicated plan since the nook includes 3g for life...

Anyone have any idea? Searching online has been less than rewarding thus far.

I for the love of god cannot get ADB to recognize my Mytouch4g. are there any specific drivers I need to download first before trying the TRUE method?

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueBlue_Drew:
Its all good, just wasnt sure what method you were using. The True permaroot one. I gotcha now.

You should have a file on your sd card that says HTCDrivers.exe or something like that. If you just click on it it will automaticly install them for you. If you dont have the file for some reason or you cant find them try PDA.net. Or hit me back and I will post them.

hi, so ive searched and read a few topics on similar problems but cant seem to find a definitive answer. my galaxy s originally came with the optus 'my account' application installed but after rooting and flashing to darkys rom, its obviously no longer on the phone.

i know there are some homemade apps floating around but i figured the original worked on my phone anyway so yeah.

You would need to update the phone to the network firmware .
