[Q] True Beginner - S740, S743 General

Hi, I recently (3months) bought a htcs740 through ebay. The seller maintained that he had cooked the device from 6.1 to 6.5. I found out later that it was done by 'frauhottentot'' or whatever his exact name is. As a non expert I took his word for it. Anyway, first thing was that the battery lasted max 5 hrs. So I ordered a new battery and the result was the same. I think I could live with this flaw for a while although for a 'modern' phone that's quite pathethic. The real thing that bugs me is the Key-Lock. No matter what parameters I twiddle with, the device always eventually turns itself off ergo: Black screen no reaction on any button, not even hard reset. There is light on the keys when you touch them and also around the nav. button. Imust ave taken the battery out of the phone a million times in the last three months. Today I installed a key lock cab. No change. And I also lifted the Windows App. Lock. No change. A nice phone but really f****** useless. Although I'm a non-expert I have the feeling that the home screen is interfering with the key pad lock. I would appreciate any help or ideas, saoirse

Erratic touch screen? Please help!

I have a T-Mobile Pocket Phone Edition,
It's had a rough life but as kept going for over 3 years now.
For the last year I would have to realign the screen 2 or 3
times a week but over the last few months it keeps getting worse.
Sometimes the screen won't respond to anything anywhere,
then after I tap it a few times boom works fine.
Sometimes I'll tap on the “Ok” and the “Start menu” will activate.
Sometimes drawing a line up the center of the screen will end up
shooting all over the screen.
And sometime it will work perfectly!
I thought the problems were to erratic to be hardware so
I hard set after awhile it started again,
So I hard set and installed a different ROM after a coupe hours
the problem was back.
Also sometimes the align program will get stuck in a
loop that doesn't end.
I've searched but can't find an answer? Anyone have an idea?
I've already taken it a part once but couldn't see how to get
any further after I toke the back panel off? Please help!
WOW nobody? So no one was heard of this problem before?
Can anyone direct me to directions on taking apart the Wallaby?
Thanks <><
It's a problem with touch screen. You should check (and fix) it.
Maybe it is necessary to press well screen to the motherboard. (Sorry my english).
Ok, Can you tell me where that connection is?
Thanks
Toke everything apart, found the connection, cleaned everything (w/ screen wipe)
put it all back together. Still have the touch problem and now the backlight won't work!
I've found if I press the unit in my hand the touch panel works right,
I don't think it's a lose connection to the main board so I think it must be
one on the main board.
If anybody thinks they want it for parts let me know! :?

How-to: Flash a Rom even with a broken power button (Vid)

HI all,
I have made a short how-to video on how to flash one of the many awesome roms (made by our awesome rom-makers) onto a device that doesn't have a power button. I have done it several times and as the question keeps getting raised, I thought I would show some proof.
Some advice before the video.
DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGED OR FRIED PDAs
I have done this myself on an I-mate (Himalaya). It took some trial and error but I am now running WM6.1. In my case though, I had to completely remove the power button from the device. The previous owner dropped it on its head, and I got it for free, unfortunately most of the top is missing, including the power button.
SO, on to how I did it. I took a paper clip (metal) and put it about 1cm down, slightly to the right of where the power button used to connect to the motherboard (in line with the text section of the Contact button on the top left of your XDA). Make sure you have turned your XDA/IMATE on before doing this. You'll find that when you find the right area, your device will turn off, or the screen will go dark (like holding the power button for a second or giving it a quick tap) or it will flash on and off.
If you manage to hold it there for the right period of time, while pressing the other bootloader buttons, then you will be able to enter bootloader.
This took me close to an hour to get just right, on both occasions I have done it, but it eventually worked and you eventually get quicker (5 minutes for me now).
My IMATE was useless without me updating the rom, so I had no worry about frying it if I did something wrong, that is why I was OK with playing around with its insides. BEWARE that you MAY DO DAMAGE to the device.
Good luck.
Here is the video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWfcpC1VM5g
Cheers! Hope this helps some people out there get the most out of their Himalayas again.
JADEL
Wow!
I have seen the video but somhow I felt that whatever you wanted to show is not getting properly visible. Perhaps the illumination is not that much.
But, I ould very well see the c_shekhar's bootsplash screen. hehe
Thanks for the Video. Worked a treat! Now I can flash my XDA again. Yeah the video was a little dark but I got the jist of it anyway.
Glad it has helped someone other than me. Someone also left a comment on the YouTube page that it worked for them as well, which is also good. Our Himalaya's will live on for many years to come!!!
I agree with my video being too dark (Environmentally friendly fluorescent lights are good for environment, bad for how-to videos). I will try and make a new, lighter video next time C_Shekhar ports a new rom!
Power button
I'm from the philippines. I was able to have my XDAII power button repaired it didn't cost that much. If there are repair shops in your area, maybe you can ask about it.

There are only two companies in Australia I know of that can officially fix our XDAs. They are bot hin Rockhampton (about 20 hours from where I live in Sydney).
They are both owned by the same company.
As you can imagine, I would predict that the repair cost would be very high, considering they essentially have a monopoly on the situation, and postage costs, insurance etc
I have a qtek 2020 with the key broken (it misses completely) power. can I perform your procedure?
Thanks
Catalogna
Hi there,
It is hard to say for sure. The only way to know for sure is to actually try it. This procedure has worked repeatedly (at least nine times now for me) on my Himalaya, and several other peoples. It really is a last resort though, so you may want to trry everything else you possibly can first.
Cheers.
good good good
I have put the qtek in bootloader and I now have the new rom. Thanks.
I have solo another problem: after few second what I don't use it the display goes to standby and I must press strong to reactivate it. is it a problem software or hardware?
Glad to hear you were able to flash the new rom.
As for the restarting, I have not seen that before under this ROM, and I have used it on several devices and tested it fairly thoroughly. Are you sure nothing is still stuck in the top of your phone where the power button was (IE you didn't leave the metal device in the top?) Perhaps something in there keeps shorting it out?
Maybe it is just on a short timeout. Check under Start>Settings>System>Power>Advanced
See what time the settings are set to under here for "Turn off device if not used for..." both on battery and external power.
Also, then click on the "backlight" button at the bottom, and check those settings.
Under "Backlight" click on "Battery power" and change the settings to what you want, then click on "External Power" and do the same again.
Then just hit the OK button (top right corner) twice, and you should be done.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
Hi Jadel. I just want to say thanks! Your video help me deal with a broken power button when upgrading rom for the first time. Without your help, I would never feel like having a brand new phone for free
I also found a way to hard reset a phone without camera button (or record).
Just connect mtty via usb into bootloader, type:
password BOOTLOADER
task 28 0 0
and reset your device as normal.
In my try it corrupted my splash screen but anything other is okay
ROMS
Why on the HD2 do they make roms for SPL 1.4 when every FREAKIN PERSON on the PLANET has version 2.08 I have NO IDEA! STUPID!

TMobileUK TP stuck on align screen after hardreset/flashing from WM 6.5

My Raphael doesn't go forward from the align screen since I hard reset on Mystic 6.5 lite ROM. Now I have tried all stock ROMS with the same problem. I Will try to best describe the problem in a chronological order.
1. Had stock ROM latest with TF3D2
2. Flashed to Mystic ROM 6.5 lite, took three cycling of align screen to get through
3. After 24 Hrs lock screen got stuck, no sliding action worked,
4. Performed soft reset, phone boots up to lock screen again.
5. After several tries decided to hard reset
6. Normal boot up until Align Screen, The align screen markers keep rotating on tap, but doesnt pass through to home screen or customization.
The phone connects to active sync, and I can synchronize, flash roms normally.
I like to think that 6.5 ROM changes some screen sensitivity settings, and this is not allowing the screen to align normally. Somehow these settings could be stuck,
I request one of you experts to guide me in getting my expensive phone back. FYI, I have no warranty, I am not even in UK, I have purchased this phone over Ebay, I have flashed around 15 ROMs since my 2 month ownership of the phone, with no problems.

Hi, if the align screen markers are not accepting your input, it is more than likely something is interfering like a screen protector or case putting pressure on the screen. (or a digitizer failure)
the only reason it would not accept the inputs is if the data it's receiving is too far from the actual point of the crosses.. it makes you keep cycling through until it's within a level of tolerance..

Thanks for that ready info, really appreciate it.
Though it does give me some promise, but as you know I cant use the touch screen accurately, so installing a cab or changing the registry is near impossible scenario, unless those can be done via a computer. Right now, wherever I click on the screen, the notification area comes up with battery, network strenght info etc.
Do you know of any way how we can clean up the entire TouchPro (waever it means) and make a new flash. I presume flash does that, but then again I think there is some leftovers from previous ROM, as mentioned in the "Flashing your first GSM ROM" sticky, where it is recommended to hard reset immediately after flashing.
All your help required to save the phone and my money going down the drain. It just hurts that I was so much in love with this phone, since using Wizard for 3 years. Cant bear to lose this fight.

Thanks DA_G for considering to help me overcome this.
At the moment I have no screen protector on, I had one on for two weeks, and as it wasnt a good fit and collecting dust underneath, I threw it out arnd 2 days back. I have always used the normal sleeve case from HTC.
If you say there is no other reason for this behavior other than hardware issue, then I have no options left. You mention that the digitizer may be broke, couldnt it be that the software part of the digitizer is broke and we can rectify that.
After using wizard for three years, and that too very roughly, I have like dropped it several hundred of times, and not facing a problem, I refuse to believe HTC quality has dropped down so low. This touch pro was used most carefully for arnd 2 months only.
I still ask you to give me more options before going for hardware replacement. As of now I will remove welcome.not, hard reset and try aligning as long as I can bear it.
hi you should be able to use the keypad to cycle through... is it? i use to have tytn II. so u can install the fix or do a reg edit with it.

I have tried it with the keypad, unfortunately, it doesnt work as well as one would want it to ,,,,unlike the wizard I had.
The biggest problem you face here is to click the left and right soft key commands like OK, UP.
Wizard had the hardware keys for that as a fall back but not here.
I am at my wits end,.....wasnt that long!
Look up Pocket Controller @ Handango (it's expensive, but the demo's great). It allows you to run your ppc remotely. It has a pretty trick regeditor. It's a high octane version of active sync. You can probably align the screen with it (Settings>System>Screen). It shows you a big pic of your touch pro screen on your pc, and you can click things with your mouse.

Well I didnt try that but I used the My Mobiler, well the catch is you cant align your screen using these softwares, you can do all rest, install cabs everything, except align screen.
I believe the hardware digitizer has given up on me, I have just dropped it at the service center, who will ship it to another one, then they will quote for the repairs. So i keep my fingers cross until next week and see how they try to rip me off.
Did you revert to stock rom, radio and spl before you took it in? I hope so.

I reverted to only stock rom and radio, not the SPL.
As it is I havent given it in warranty, so I assumed it wont effect either ways.
It's weird you started having the problem after you removed the screen protector. Why did you remove it? Did it come off easily, or did it stick a little and give you problems? Do you think you might have messed up the screen when you were taking it off?

I dont think that my removal of screen protector could have hurt the screen. As it is the screen protector was stuck on loosely.
The protector I had was a little hard kind and thick kind as opposed to the usual thin layer. I really didnt like it.
I am still of the opinion that WM6.5 rom had changed the sensitivity or some other parameter of the screen to an extent where the hardware couldn't cope. As I first faced the problem with align screen repeating 3 times when I installed that.
Within 24 hrs my digitizer had given up on me. Hence I think, if I the ROM can be completely sanitized and then flashed, the digitizer should work.
I am in no way an expert on these things, but I am just trying to apply some logic.

HTC Fuze Alignment issue
Okay I have an HTC Fuze right, and I did a hard reset on it because the touchscreen was freezing, and working in only certain parts of the screen, so now Everything seems good with the touchscreen except the align screen part.. itwon't let me go past this stage, and Ive been at it for 2 days so can someone please help me out with my issue, I would sincerely appreciate it and thanks.
Dude, there is nothing much that you can do. There are ofcourse ways to skip the calibration screen and get to the desktop, but the functionality of the screen is allready gone.
If you are lucky enough to have a warranty for the thing, its time to use it now !!! If not, then start budgeting for a new phone.
As I didnt have a budget, I am using the phone in this condition since around a year and now thinking to replace it with Nokia N900.

[Q] Menu button flashing issue

Hi to everyone in this forum. I've recently received as a present a new toshiba folio 100, but, since I'm experiencing an annoying menu button flashing, I've thought of it as a software problem so I upgraded the folio using the foliomod1.3c and applied the rotate patch and also the 1.3c fix patch. The menu still flash with no apparent logic. I've tried to kill all applications running and it's still there. It seem to come up and down at random. I ask to all in this forum: do you believe it's a hardware issue or is a software issue? Because if it's a hardware issue I'm going to try to have a new folio from toshiba. I'm overall very pleased with the work that Dexter made to make the folio an usable machine but this flashing is driving me crazy. I use the folio basically as a portable scientific pdf reader so I need to concentrate on what I read and this flashing is really annoying. I would like very much to thank you all in this forum in advance for all the suggestion/help you could provide.

Is it possible to prepare application you can setting ON/OFF the MENU button
Most of the time useless button.
sometimes button jump after 10 minutes, sometimes after an hour
Usually I fix the problem by changing the settings with FolioButtons 1.1.
If you could add to FolioButtons on/off operation for menu Buttons was the best.

I am pretty desperate about this issue, because none of the methods seem to help...
Right now the buttons work opposite- Menu button flashes mad and none of the other 3 responds...dont know how it happened
Just a thought- while the folio is booting up the menu button ALREADY flashes! I have zero understanding in there but isn't it a process that loads / starts early in the line?
I appreciate everyone's effort trying to solve this bug as it makes this handy tool a useless pile of crap.
I was wondering how many folio users are suffering of this crazy buttons madness.
Mine was crazy from the very beginning; I sent it back for repair and toshiba only did a firmware restore... Nothing changed at all!
It makes my folio almost unusable!
bye bye crazy buttons
After two weeks of testing and a complete breakdown of my folio100, I finally find the problem or just crazy buttons and freezing of the screen.
I drag a thickness in the screen in the bottom right corner of the screen to isolate the audio connector and it works better than a miracle again.
The only downside is that the screen comes out slightly from the slot but nothing really bad.
The thickness I put slightly too big or-1.4 mm I'll Demount next week to put a finer and I'll try to take pictures in passing.
Note however that the loss of waranty is innevitable.
Sorry for my bad english ;-)
I think it's a hardware issue and even a build quality issue.
If i hold my folio at the side of the buttons, i get the flashing buttons problem (even the foliobuttons app will not help), if i hold it at the other side, i've got no problems at all.
Do you have an animated background? Because I saw that some people had this issue with an animated background...

Well, I just finished dismantling e reassembling my Folio. Following your hint, I cut a piece of paper and put it between the audio connector and the back of the screen (yes, it was metal vs metal). I'll see whether it's gonna work or not. Crossing fingers for now.
Not that I'm so confident in leaving a piece of paper stuck right where the DC input is .
BTW, did you try with a smaller thickness? Even if this is the problem, I'm wondering whether a piece of paper would be enough or not.
thyself can someone. post pictures of before and after details?
we will be much appreciated
i didn't have the crazy buttons issue this far in 2 weeks, just my home butten needs to be pressed harder. I'm pretty sure it's hardware related, i read often that users experience it when changing from an warm room to a colder one, or in regions where its verry humid(some circuit closes maybe...). so Mshr73 is on the right way as far as i can tell.

I'm looking forward to your pictures, too... because my trial simply didn't work.
I tried with both a single piece of paper and then with 2 pieces wrapped in tape. I put these spacers between the back of the display and DC/audio connector.
In both cases, the crazy keys phenomenon started to happen after 15-20 minutes of usage.
In most cases, it starts to show when I unlock the device. As soon as I unlock it, home and menu buttons light up with no apparent reason and go crazy for 10-30 seconds.
Then, I even tried to loosen just a little the screws (I read, somewhere in the forum, of a guy who said that he solved his crazy keys and screen lag problems this way). I mean, all screws are now locked but not too tight. Well, I have to say that I don't have any screen lag anymore (I even removed the piece of paper, from the battery area, which used to solve the issue before) but crazy keys still happen. I'm going slightly mad

Laggy/Glitchy Screen, Shows Fragments of Display

Hello guys, I need some help. Been reading EVERYWHERE and have found nothing similar to this.
I live in Venezuela and bought this phone about 8 months ago through Amazon. Phone is great and worked perfectly until about a week ago when it started to lag quite a lot and the next day the screen started appearing glitchy, as shown in these pictures.
Anyways, I soft and hard reset the device to no avail. The screen seems to be responding to touch quite perfectly (because by holding down the power button and sliding down the screen powers it down) but the screen shows nothing.
I have tried everything I can imagine. I downloaded several verions of the firmware for this phone and flashed them to the device via Nokia Software Updater 4.1.0 and through Nokia Care Suite 5.0 (recovery and refurbish). Nothing seems to help the thing. It finishes but doesn't, really. At times the screen seems to display content perfectly and other times nothing at all or just fragments of images.
Also, the NOKIA logo you can see in white with a black background has small lines running diagonally instead of being perfectly and solidly white like usual (can't really tell from the images but take my word for it).
So, anyways, I'd like to know if anyone has experienced anything similar and has any idea of what I could do to save this phone. Returning it is pretty much impossible at this stage, not to mention I'm sure my warranty has run out already and living in Venezuela does nothing to my benefit.
Thank you guys very much. Hope you can help me out.

I live in Venezuela and bought this phone about 8 months ago through Amazon. Phone is great and worked perfectly until about a week ago when it started to lag quite a lot and the next day the screen started appearing glitchy, as shown in these pictures.
Anyways, I soft and hard reset the device to no avail. The screen seems to be responding to touch quite perfectly (because by holding down the power button and sliding down the screen powers it down) but the screen shows nothing.
I have tried everything I can imagine. I downloaded several verions of the firmware for this phone and flashed them to the device via Nokia Software Updater 4.1.0 and through Nokia Care Suite 5.0 (recovery and refurbish). Nothing seems to help the thing. It finishes but doesn't, really. At times the screen seems to display content perfectly and other times nothing at all or just fragments of images.
Also, the NOKIA logo you can see in white with a black background has small lines running diagonally instead of being perfectly and solidly white like usual (can't really tell from the images but take my word for it).
So, anyways, I'd like to know if anyone has experienced anything similar and has any idea of what I could do to save this phone. Returning it is pretty much impossible at this stage, not to mention I'm sure my warranty has run out already and living in Venezuela does nothing to my benefit.
Thank you guys very much. Hope you can help me out.

Well that looks like a hardware issue (display + drivers) to me bro, i hope you have warranty on your phone cause imo it needs repair.
