[TG01 General] drupad2drupad:
So here I am!

Sent an email to the executive office - someone called me back today.

Guess what? They offered me EXACTLY same offers that the call centre offered me and I quote their last line:

"Orange can only offer you LG GT505 as different model replacement - as this is VERY similar to TG01 phone you want. You can either agree to take it or use the current TG01 which you are not happy with. We will no longer encourage discussion"

I am gobsmacked and have no idea what to say!

However, I have asked them to put this in writing in response to my email and have said I will be taking up to Trading Standards as they should not be sending out 'replacement handset' which keep freezing at first place!

She replied: "Yes that's fine, I will respond to your email, but we cannot be held liable if you are not happy with your handset"

After that we have been emailing each other till today. There are string of emails where we cannot solve this issue. I have been told, they won't offer me compensation because I have used their services. Obviously I have used services, by borrowing phones from friends, finding Orange compatible old phones and inserting my SIM inside. How can they expect the customer to NOT use the SIM even though he is paying the line rental for this phone!

They also claimed that Orange Line rental is for the airtime and not the handset- which clearly isn't true - else iPhone, Windows Phone 7 and Nokia 3200 would all be sold on a price plan at same price!! They still claimed it's got nothing to do with handset. If I am not happy with the quality of replacement TG01, as a good will gesture they will offer me 'LG GT505' and no other phone. I take it or leave it. I raised the complaint to CISAS - but was told that since it's an equipment fault they won't get involved. They adviced me to contact consumer direct or trading standard. I opted for trading standard who asked me to contact consumer standard first then trading direct if it's unresolved.

I contact consumer direct and they think under the Sales of Good Act, I should be allowed a working replacement and if that doesn't help then I should be given compensation - So I am going to write to Orange with all these and see what is the response and then I have been adviced to take this to small claims court.

Phew, all this for a working TG01! Don't I just love my TG01! :D
[TG01 General] drupad2drupad:
By the way technical guys out there:

I have been able to find a work around - If I keep my phone in flight mode for about 60-65 minutes after a soft reset and then remove flight mode - it doesn't freeze for 5-6 hours!! If I do a soft reset, don't keep it in flight mode, then it freezes every 10-12 minutes! :(

Obviously I have a work around now, but why should I keep my phone switched off for 60 minutes every time!! - Does anyone have a reason behind why it happens like this? Could it be something to do with network? SIM? (I have had 3 SIM replacements already)? Battery? It's definitely not memory card, as I have nothing in that slot.

Anyone with any ideas or experience is more than welcome to help me :)
[TG01 General] olyloh6696:
Nice to see you back with a TG01 ;) What ROM are you using? its strange how many phones have the same issue. Like you said, it could be a SIM card problem. but do you also have 4 different batteries? test them all out individually?

hope you get it sorted soon mate!
[TG01 General] olyloh6696:
Possible solution? I've just been reading back through your OP, and i realised i had a similiar problem like this. i was using WM6.5 for a long time, with no problems.but i used spb backup and switched to 6.1. when restored contacts on 6.1 my phone would freeze and lock up like the problems that you described.. I always thought it was a problem with the ROM but it was actually my backup manager. i remember installing apps, syncing with exchange would freeze the phone. i also remeber spb shell didn't load up. i found a solution, by using PIM backup. now everything works 100%. what backup manager did you use? try pim backup! also did you sync with activessync? that may be a problem. try restoring your contacts with PIM backup!

:)
[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
Hmm , interesting. It seems that problem is with radio. I gues that if You switch radio off ( in fact flight mode does it ) , Your phone will never freeze.

You were changing roms ( and SIM cards too ) so we can rather exclude software ( radio versions ) unless You always had the same radio version ?

Conclusion can be rather unpleasant because it can points to hardware ( GSM module ) problems. I hope I am wrong.

BTH. What will happen if we boot up system without SIM card ? Any radio software and hardware should work but will the phone freeze too ?

SIM card reader is part of radio hardware too and we can not exclude it has problems.

[TG01 General] drupad2drupad:
haha, not back yet oly! this TG01 is only good for about 4-9 hours a day, the rest of the time it goes mental on me! I am trying to sync my sleeping patterns with the phone - which I should be doing after paying fortune to Orange! (line rental + insurance!)

I wish this was my case too! :(

I am using PIM back up too. But the whole issues comes here: As soon as I get a fresh handset from Orange, I don't do anything but put my battery inside it and start. Leave it on my desk, literally stare at it. And it starts acting weird even without the SIM card inserted inside it!! I am still using the official Toshiba 6.5 ROM as I din't dare to flash anything with this freezing issue after i replaced 2 hansets (this is my 5th one!). I am just worried if it freezes while flash, I might end up bricking my phone :( - I have only installed my PIM contacts till date - nothing else. No apps no reg tweaks nothing! And I am using (whenever it's not frozen) the laggy crappy TG01's official UI :( - *sigh* regret being with Orange! :mad:

Hi, thanks for quick response! I am thinking it could be radio too, but it freezes even without inserting the SIM card. I have tried using different SIM card in it, but it still freezes. So I think we can safely eliminate SIM being an issue. I had flashed ROMs in first 2 handsets, but in last 3 I only used TG01s default rom. GSM module - is something I din't think of. But what are the chances that a whole lot of phones (5 TG01s) sent to me had issue with GSM modules?! :eek:

Is there a way to solve radio issue i.e. have something like virtual flight mode? where phone will think it's in flight mode, but SIM is active?
[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
Pure statistics and speculations :)

As I remember , phones that Orange was sending to You were refurbrished. How do You know :

1) They were refurbrished at all.

2) Even if theoretically they has been fixed ( were in any repair center ), a man

responsible for it was never waiting untill it will freeze. Simply switched phone on, looked it works and switched it off. After such "test" they returned to Orange.

On the other hand, maybe GSM module damage is most "popular" on our tg01 ( excluding pure mechanical ). We do not know any data concerning how many damaged tg01 went to Orange back and why.

[TG01 General] Scougar:
Why WP7 phone? Don't you want something like the Samsung Galaxy II ?

Orange took many many phone calls to sort me out with my bill, let alone getting hardware right. I thought Orange were meant to be good, but I've had a poor experience of them as well (just customer service). They are nice an polite but don't do the things they say they are going to do, I had to brow beat them on a deal they should have given me when I signed up, thank goodness for a 'note' on their system else I would have been stuck in a contract I didn't want.
[TG01 General] drupad2drupad:
WP7 because I am hard core WinMo fan!! It does what anything else doesn't..

It's just been a day with SF and I've almost reached the peak of customization! This never happened with my TG01 or previous WinMos. There are 1000s of apps alright, but again, I am not 15 anymore! ;)

All in all WP7 is growing in a new direction. Windows/Microsoft is doing again what it did a decade ago -- it's re-inventing smartphones, and this time they've got it right and better ;) What WP7 is going to achieve in terms of software (i.e. what can we do using just a phone) I don't think Google or Apple will be able to do for next 5 years at least! - All this is ofcourse based on MWCX11 etc where WP7 has shown it's potential. Time will tell.. but I would happily give £450 for WP7 than £550+ for Android high end phone or ridiculous £750 for iPhone! ;)
[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
Welcome back drupad :)

I am WM fun too but till my tg01 is alive I will stay with WM6.x :)

I have only seen WP7 on emulator. Problem is in my opinnion absence of storage card. I know that assumption is that WP7 phone should have much more flash than WM6.x but if we take into account some huge programs like navigation software with maps, flash shortage can be a problem.

Regards

fxdjacentyfxd
[TG01 General] olyloh6696:
storage cards are supported unofficialy ;)

all wp7 have a secret unaccesible storage card in them :)

since you all already expieremced in tweakin, flashing etc, it wont be a big problem using tweaks to change sd card etc ;)
[TG01 General] olyloh6696:
imo, wp7 = fail.

the new wp7.5 is due out later this year and will add some features like multitasking, copy/paste etc.

you already made a step into a good direction! dont go backwards! seriously!

According to statistics, android has OVERTAKEN iOS and is winning the smartphone war. it clearly is the best OS.

about customization! isnt it MUCH MUCH more customisable than TG01 ever was?!?

android has never ending support! and many apps which are not all pointless, there are brilliant!

imo (and others) wp7 has flopped greatly. poor sales and support compared to android/iOS.

poor hardware too. be looking for dual core now. wp7 wont be supporting it anytime soon! the hd7/mozart/trophoy all have OLD Snapdragon chips (same qsd8250 msm as tg01)

the hardware is outdated. if you want a taster, get a hd2 - use android or wp7 dual boot!

hd2 has virtually the same specs as hd7 and much cheaper and versitale. i ahve seen it for £150 mint condition!

or just take the plunge and invest in a Samsung Galaxy S II (like i did!) :D

best thing ever :)
[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
You mean, all have physically slot for SD card, hidden somewhere ? As I know People was saying there was no anything like this.

Regards

fxdjacentyfxd
[TG01 General] olyloh6696:
yes an actual physical slot :)

do a simple google search on this, it will give you all answers.

but i think, once you swap the SD card, you have to do a hard reset or something like that. check it out on google :)
[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
Thanks Oly.

If it is true http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2450831

such SD card is useless. Works as inetrnal hard disk and You can not to read/write externally on it. Maybe something changed from this time or someone cracked described mechanism.

Regards

fxdjacentyfxd
[TG01 General] olyloh6696:
yeh :) anyway, why would you want to swap the memory cards?

on wp7 it supports only zune not active sync i think..
[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
It depends. I guess in models with larger embeded flash memory ( like in ipads ) pricess will significatly increase. Much cheaper will be solution with external card(s) but. I have read, when You remove initialy prepared by first "descover" such external card, many function of the phone may be not available. It is sick ! What about when card will damage physically or logically ? As I know "master reset" will help but it is again sick solution.

Why user can not get simple solution ? We get all encrypted, secured and so on. Next fight with piracy ?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] johnpharrell:
So I tried installing xRecovery (I think it was .3) on my new mini pro U20i which i rooted with z4root 1.3.0. HOWEVER, the busybox that came with it didn't work so I attempted to install another busybox... and I somehow bricked my phone lol.

The phone is fixed and rooted again but I would really like to get xRecovery working so I can flash roms.

Any help would be really appreciated :)

P.S. If you have any guides for backing up/flashing roms and partitioning sd cards that would be great! :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Nouatik:
Did you root with SOC?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] johnpharrell:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Buddha:
1. root you device

2. install busybox from market only

3. try automatic installation(the safer way)

4. reboot

5. tap the back button several times

6. enjoy xRecovery
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] johnpharrell:
Thanks Tehouster, but busybox isn't available on the market anymore...I've searched and I can't find it. That's why I ended up using an offmarket one before, ultimately bricking my phone lol.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] johnpharrell:
Strange...I found busybox on the pc android market site, but not of my phone's market app?? I tried to install it via the pc site but

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Annoymous Man:
The market checks your phone to see there're compatible Apps available for your particular phone/ROM before showing you up the results, and that's why some may not find those particular Apps they're looking for, I sometime make use of Morelocale to search further outside my home region, hope this may help.

$ exit

afterwards push the files downloadet from his post with

adb push %filepath%\busybox %filepath%\chargemon %filepath%\xrecovery.tar /system/bin

where %filepath% is the path to the folder where you extracted the 3 files :)

Hi everyone !

I would like to change the Rom which i'm using with my HTC HD2.

First, I've been using the WP7 rom but due to the bad camera quality, I switched to SuperRap 1.5 from Darkstone...

Is there a better, faster Rom with a better battery life ?

( Nand or Sd ; Which one is better ? ))

Thanks ;)

So yesterday i got the EPIC and my gf got the transform. she loves the software on the epic like the black bar on top with the blue and 3d gallery etc. how can she get that software on her transform? thank you
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SouthPhilly:
To do something like that you need to have your devices rooted and see if there are custom ROM's or themes that have the features your looking for.

Best bet is to go to your devices respective forums here on XDA and read up on how to root and install custom ROM's, themes and mod's. Every device is a little different so you can't just load a ROM for one device on to another device. But there are other people like you and your girl that have and do want the samething. The devs on XDA are awesome with things like this.

Hope that helps you out. Just search the forums for your devices and you should find something close to what you want.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SouthPhilly:
LMAO..... just realized that I just replied to your "Do I Have 2.2" post.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thelandon:
Here's a "How to" using nothing but your phone and computer (or Mac):

1.) If you JUST want the clock, you'll need to download onto your Mac or PC either "missing.zip" or "iofthestorm.zip" from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=940456&page=6

2.) Extract the zip file, and open the folder: missing>system>app. Both of these zips have extras bundled into them, so locate Clockpackage.apk. Now, keep this window open.

3.) You'll need a file manager (I like Root Explorer) that allows you to see the "system" (you won't see "" around these files w/in your phone) file. Within in the "system" file, is the "app" file . You'll need to remove the previously bundled clock, but before you do you have to bypass the "system" file's r/o permission. For noobs, r/o = read only. r/w = read/write.

4.) I don't have the link, so click search from w/in the Android Market on your phone and type: mount /system. It'll be the first app that appears on the list. Mount /System is literally the name of the app, so the spacing, etc., is not a typo. Download and install.

5.) When finished with step # 4, fire up your new app, Mount /System, and click the button that says, "Mount r/w."

6.) Remove your old clock from the system/app folder. I first made a copy into my download folder just in case anything went wrong. Once the copy was in a place I could locate again, I went back to system/app folder and deleted the previously bundled clock.

7.) I plugged my phone via usb (settings/applications/development/USB debugging) into my computer. Locate the folder in step #2. Find the clock. Then, drag and drop onto your system/app file.

8.) You're done! Close Root Explorer, and you should see your old Samsung Clock in your app drawer on your phone.

Please note, I'm not a software developer nor am I a hacker. I know only about my device, a Samsung Fascinate, so please don't ask me how to use this mod for other devices. Those who would like to do so would be better off following some of the adb tutorials posted on these forums.
