[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bubbashrimp:
Hello,

My Touch Pro 2 went from functioning fine one moment - to having a dead touch screen. The phone itself isn't dead and I can use the hardware buttons and keyboard to be able to use it.

I've not yet tried a hard reset. I would like to know how I can back up my phone. I can still connect via usb (but I don't get the usual screen that lets me choose between Active Sync, connecting as a drive, or tethering) so I can get my file off of the phone, but I'd like to be able to do something similar to "ghosting" my phone (preserving all of the apps I've installed) if that's possible.

I know there are replacement digitizers that are relatively cheap, but I'd rather not go that route as I've insurance on the phone and should be able to get a replacement. (But if Asurion no longer sends out replacement TP2s I might reconsider that - can anyone say whether or not Asurion still sends out replacement TP2s?)

If worst comes to worst I'll copy over the data that I can, note all of the apps I've installed, and then do a hard reset to see if that fixes things. If it doesn't then it's either off to replacement land or considering replacing the digitizer.

Thanks in advance!

I just had my TP2 replaced.. TWICE from T-Mobile/Assurion. So I know they have them in stock as of last week.

(twice because the first replacement's space bar was funky..)

I replaced the original one because of a few issues, but one was the screen stopped working. (I REALLY had to bang on the screen to get it to sense, but I found the stylus worked marginally better).

You should be able to use the TAB and Arrow Keys to navigate Windows without using the touch screen.

Have you installed Microsoft MyPhone? I love it.. saves everything (except installed apps). When I got my new phone, I logged in, it downloaded all my data from MyPhone and *poof* all my contacts, pictures, and text messages were there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mrbears:
I also recommend using myphone. Also, if you have apps installed, make sure make note of them. Some of them may be installed on your microSD, some on your main memory. Ones in main memory has to be manually installed later.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] zionptm:
Try using PIMBackup. First copy it to your phone's SD Card, then run it.

The app is very to use with the QWERTY keyboard of TP2!

You can find PIMBackup 2.8 right here on xda-developers!

Is there any certain place I need to save videos on my sd card? Wherever I have them saved now it just shows a picture of the movie and no name below it so unless you know what scene that movie is from you are guessing, is there anyway to make it easier?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] TokedUp:
Make folders for each movie and name the folder them movie name. Put the movie in the folder then add the folder to the same location it was in. it worked for me, I had this problem a while ago and this method fixed it. Hope this helps.

Hi there.

What is the best version of NAND Android to flash for TMOUS

Radio version: 2.12.50.02_2

and What is the best guide for the first time flashing.

i'm asking because there are tons of roms :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jalshah05:
Tutorials are here:- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905841

As for the Build, I would go with the build made specifically for TMOUS. Try and use mdeejay's build as they worked best for me.... The thing is developers have been so good that I have not seen big problems in almost all the builds. Only problem I ever encounter is before flashing. After flashing is done everything works smooth if you follow the instructions and read every part of the thread carefully.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GeneralWoo:
Thx

If something goes wrong with flashing, can i flash back to WM 6.5.X
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jalshah05:
First nothing goes wrong if you follow the instructions closely. Secondly you can always go back to win6.5 anytime you want.

But before doing anything I would recommend again and again same thing. Read before you do anything. I kno you must be excited but take it slowly. And if you encounter any problems ppl are there to help you out... so happy flashing.. :)

Hi, I have a problem with the whole locking the Android for too long. The problem is this, when I lock my HTC HD2 for too long, the screen freezes and doesnt come back on unless I remove the battery and re-boot.

Is there a solution for this?

Try using SETCPU application from market. Set the setting to SMARTASS...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sklar:
Thanks for the quick response, but how do I set it to SMARTASS?

I have SetCPU 2.0.2 autodetect read-only. It doesnt seem I can edit this 'Scaling'

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jalshah05:

It won't let me, the box is grey, and just says 'ondemand' I can edit it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jalshah05:
Do you have rooted build? Mostly all the builds are rooted. But sometimes in some builds root permissions have problem. You can check whether you have root or not by following method:-

Download terminal emulator from market(free)

Open emulator and type "su" without quotations and press enter

if you do not get any errors then you have root enabled. If you have some errors then you might have to find solution to root your build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vzinoviev:
I also got lock freezes that appeared at some point. I started remembering what I was installing and guessed it might be the poweramp lockscreen widget. I disabled it yesterday and did not have any lockscreen freezes today.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sklar:
When I try this in the terminal I get the 'Permission Denied' Error.

How can I solve this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jalshah05:
Well I am not a pro in the matter of rooting the build... I would recommend you to search the thread of your own build. May be someone else had the same problem. Another thing you can do is post another question about rooting the phone, may be someone expert will help you out....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sklar:
What on Earth is rooting? D:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jalshah05:
Well in regular android you do have access to some part of the system. To get that access you need to root your android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sklar:
Do you have any clue how to do that?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] felipillo:
Which Build are you using??? Posting the Build version and kernel you're using might help others help you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jalshah05:
No man... I am also a newb... I do not know much about this. What I would do is flash another build. There are plenty of them out there. :)

Hi guys, I have a problem with my Desire, but cannot find anyting about that kind of problem in xda-developers or internet.

Here is the video with the strange effect http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRqpW-pRNWI

The problem is that it occurs at random times.

Have you ever seen that kind of problem, is it the display or the motherboard?
[Desire General] Meaple:
No and prob to do with the connection most likely. Send it to HTC.
[Desire General] Zheiko:
Wow, thats heavy, did you try to reflash whole android? It kinda seems to be a sw fault. But if you have, then another question would be if you have dropped the phone, if yes, prepare yourself cca 85£ if not, then warranty should apply...

Anyway, you will need to send it for repair
[Desire General] Netbuster:
No its not droped. I play very nicely with this device, it is "Desire" after all.

I tried the original rom, the efect is the same. This happens even at bootloader.

I have a doubt that the phone was not brand new when I received it with missing foil. The phone was purchased from internet from local store.

This was happened a few week ago, after it was returned from service they said that the display is twisted :eek:

Now the probleam apears again.

Anyway, now the display is completely dead - i see only black screen with slim lines with different colors. Tomorow I'll visit the store again, but I don't know how to prove that it's not my fault.
[Desire General] Zheiko:
That might be dificult, keep your receipt and in case shop refuses to fix it in warranty, then Id go directly to HTC hoping it wasnt opened and tampered with...

Nice to see, though i only see mention of OMAP 35XX, not the 36XX (3621) that we use. Though, as a counterpoint, what we relaly have been lacking is updated video drivers, and both the 35xx and 36xx use the same GPU, so perhaps there is some hope it will be useful.
[Nook Color Android Development] DssJoe:
Updated drivers/dsp, updated linux kernel and bluetooth stack! This should really make for some interesting progress with nookie froyo, BT support, CM7 and possibly even the honeycomb builds

I bought an LG Optimus One (P500) from 3 UK on a contract!

But, I want to use a O2 UK Sim. And it is saying 'Phone is SIM network locked'!

Now, I want to know how to get this phone unlocked!

I can get some Images of this when the forum allows me to do it! Sorry for the inconvenience guys!

Thanks in advance!!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] neilmb:
You need an unlock code for your phone. These can be purchased from various sellers on eBay. I successfully unlocked my LG P509 Optimus T from T-mobile using a code from someone whose ebay name is myhoian.

But it is a little risky right?

It is a new phone and a new smart phone and don't want to risk its life!

If someone can get me some unlock code calculator, then I can use the calculator!

[Nook Color General] tangomonky:
There are a couple serious flaws that I have yet to see completely addressed, and I think people get a little carried away when they argue about these against some of the higher priced tablets like the galaxy, archos and streak7, and ipads.

There is market support, but its not full. Depending on whether I am using 2.1 or 2.2 I have different apps available. Ive tried switching between the two fingerprints out there, but regardless, its an issue.

Media Support.

Flash is passable on the 2.2 builds, and skyfire can do a decent job on the 2.1 builds, but still not where I personally would want my tablet to be.

A much bigger hindrance is the horrible media playback. Things I can view exceptionally well on my droid incredible I can hardly view at all on my nook color.

When running Froyo I cant access my Tversity Media Server at all while using Vplayer, and even on eclair its not the quality I would prefer to watch at.

Oddly enough, my Froyo 2.2 1.1 OC Nook Color plays worse then the Rooted Nook on 2.1. Speakers are awful as well.

I am not complaining, just trying to keep things in perspective.

Is this a great tablet? Yes.

Is this a great media tablet? No, however its passable if you dont mind re-encoding much of your media to LQ formats.

Is this as fully functional as people like to make it out atm? No. Though my fingers are crossed.

;)
[Nook Color General] A. Nonymous:
I've yet to find any media that I can view on my Incredible, but not on my Nook. The speakers suck, but that's a hardware issue, not a software one. No ammount of rooting is going to fix that.
[Nook Color General] follower46:
I'm waiting for something like these to set my Nook in to help with the speaker problem...

[Nook Color General] madsquabbles:
this is the reason why i tested the archos 101 & 70 and the galaxy tab. the nc is a far better general use tablet and the best "bang for your buck", but the archos is a better multimedia tablet - i kept the 101 since having 2 7" tablets didn't make much sense... then again having an ipad, nc and a101 doesn't make much sense either, lol.

the galaxy tab was between the nc and a70 in multimedia performance. better screen, but not as good with video & music playback. the archos was better in both departments imo. but the screen on the galaxy tab was the best of the 4. but at $550 i could get both the nc and the a101 and be happy.
[Nook Color General] james robinson:
Isn't the NC a eBook reader 1st? With that said, it's not suppose to do all of that right out of the box!!! With the from this community, the NC will be able (someday) to do all of those things. I bought my NC because of it's great potential and price!!!

hopefully someone who likes taking these things apart can come up with a guide.

[Nook Color General] Thuneau:
I got one last week and today after it auto updated itself to 1.1 I decided to auto-nooter it. The process went smooth, I installed the ADW launcher, live wallpapers and some apps and after playing with it for a while I'm very pleased with the purchase. I have an Android phone (Samsung Galaxy) and this tablet is a nice extension of the already familiar OS. I have not tried hi res video on it yet, but internet and games and utility apps are perfectly fine on it. It's a great little device and the integrated book reader part is a nice bonus.
[Nook Color General] pxharder:
I have to agree - NC is amazing

I paid $249 for an e-book reader and have gotten so much more thanks to the folks on this forum. As an e-book reader, I've been very pleased with my NC. However, after changing it over to a tablet-ish device, it's become a constant companion!

Yes, I have to move my movie collection over to MP4 for viewing. I bought a 32GB card for that. So far, all my movies play great. MP3s work just fine as well. And most of the Android apps I want work well. And surprisingly, both my Slacker Radio apps (with caching) and my Audible e-book accounts work perfectly.

I was not looking for a media device when I bought the Nook Color. I wanted an e-book reader that I could hack and play with. Well, I do that and more!

So here's the choice. For under $300, you can buy a media device (like one of the Archos or an IPod Touch) that might read e-books or you can buy an e-book reader that, with a little work and a touch of bravery, can be a 90% media device as well.
[Nook Color General] BrianDigital:
Well fix.it.it.then
[Nook Color General] Masterface7:
I think that the issue is that the nook color restricts the video resolution to less than the resolution of the screen for no reason at all. Also, it requires encoding video to watch on it when it could play most videos fine without encoding if not for self imposed software restrictions.
[Nook Color General] discothan:
I understood when I pulled the trigger on the NC that this was developed as an eBook reader. With that in mind, rooting it and making it an Android device opens up a lot more avenues of functionality. Yes the Android App market is no where near where the Apple iTunes app store is, but Apple had a 3 year head start with that. App developers are going to bring their apps to the Android market to capture/provide for the increased market share, it will just take some time.

Keep in mind...these Android tablets are quite new to the market, it is still gathering up steam. iPad has had a year head start, and 3+ year of app store head start.

With that said, yes, the Nook Color doesn't excel because the software that was designed for it isn't even on par to what Apple offers. NC is not that great of an av device, even paired up with some mid-range Shure noise isolation ear buds. But give it time, apps will mature, the market is there. If you don't like what the Nook Color can be made to do for $250+ and a little time to research and execute, then go grab a glorified Android Tablet that will cost $500+ and most likely locked down so you can't customize it for even better functionality.

For video playback I use rockplayer, plays almost all formats very well. This thing is great for $250, awesome screen, plays games pretty well, does video great for me and is much lighter than my ipad. I think things will only go up from here, and here is pretty nice right now.

Just a quick one guys. I am trying to resolve some issues for my wife right now with her new Motorola CLIQ 2.

Her phone was recently stolen from a party, and she is pretty sure that she just saw one of her ex-friends using a phone with the same case and exact same dents and whatnot (she's clumsy!).

I have the box with the IMEI number, we have locked her number so that it can't be used. TMOUS is giving us hell and saying they can't do anything to lock by IMEI or anything. She is trying to get in contact with the guy she thinks has her phone but surprisingly there is no word from him.

I was wondering, don't all GSM phones have to authenticate IMEI numbers whenever they jump on/off a tower? By that logic I feel that TMOUS could track this phone to a position between the towers. Or they could at least tell me if that IMEI is in use! I'm not asking for them to tell me WHO is using it, I understand privacy, but I am just asking if it is in use at the moment.

Thanks for any help.
