Hey guys, my friend bought a TELUS Hero on eBay a while back, and now she's having troubles with it. So she wanted me to help her put another ROM on it to see if it would fix some issues.
Here are a few details:
-Currently she uses it with AT&T
-The bottom portion of the screen seems reluctant to work, but she says that part of the screen works when she puts the phone in landscape mode and tries pressing something like backspace, p, or something similar.
-She has the same issues with other keyboards (she's tried Swype).
So here are my questions:
Is it just a broken screen? If not, what are some of your favorite ROMs available? Also is it even worth touching the radio?
Thanks for any help/insight anyone can provide.

Hi all
I'm new to this forum but have found everything mentioned on it very interesting.
I have just purchased a Dual Touch which is completely covered in Orange bumpf. I have recently installed Niki Project Rom Editor v2.1.3 (WWE/ITA/GER/FRE/PTG/ESN ) by Tom_codon (Excellent bit of work it is too!!) however I still have the nasty Orange Startup and Shutdown screens. I realy want to remove these because they annoy me and look awful. Can anyone tell me how to either remove them totally or perhaps replace them with something better (maybe even a screen containing pictures of my own?
Thanks in advance.

Okay so I recently purchased an i-mate Spartphone I have a couple of questions that I couldn't find thru the search feature.
1st I was wondering is the phone I have a Qtek 8500 (I think thats what I read on here) it only says imate on the outside and smartflip below the inner screen and say's imate on loading.
2nd when I use the camera all I see is static no picture... is there a way to fix this or should I load a different rom? I am thinking of running the rose or neo rom anyways (I have to get on my home computer and do the unlocks first I believe)
3rd I am also new to Winmo phones so I was wondering if there was any nice apps that anyone could point me towards.
Thanks in advance

The phone is made by HTC but is also sold as other names such as i-mate smartflip.
I have an i-mate smart flip that I purchased on e-bay and was able to use the camera just fine with the original WM5 ROM. Though I must admit that after upgrading the ROM to Erofoch's Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional for HTC StarTrek the camera works even better with the camera night mode option.
This version of WM6 works amazing on this phone, it also has BatteryStatus set up with safe and quick overclocking.
It took me a while to figure out all the steps, there is so much great information in this forum that it can be a bit overwhelming. I was directed to this wiki web page which outlines the ROM upgrade process step by step. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...Trk_ROM_Update
For the Mobile 6.1 Pro ROM that I installed I only had to stop at step 2 because this ROM does the rest.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,

Okay I installed the Rose Rom by pampooh??(probably mispelled hope does not offend) anyways still just static on the camera not a huge deal for me I have a different camera phone for that purpose just was hoping it would fix it may be that I just got one with a bad camera but oh well
Yep, sounds like a bad camera. In general, when there is a driver issue, you will either get an error message when you launch the camera, or else a blank screen, but definitely not static.
iMate, Startrek, 3185, and a few other names are all the same phone. HTC sells the phone to Cellular carriers, and they can name it whatever they want. With the phone nerds here at XDA, the easiest way to refer to it is as "StarTrek", since this was the HTC code name for the phone. All the phones are basically alike, except for the Cingular/AT&T 3185, which has a larger battery, and twice the ROM (64MB instead of 32MB). You can buy the extended battery and associated back plate on eBay if you want it. All the versions of the phone run the same software and operating systems.
Software:
Tons of good software out there. What you will like is a matter of opinion. I can't live without:
1. Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 - Gives you text to speech, and awesome voice recognition.
2. Coreplayer - An actual working media player for the phone (not crappy like WMP).
3. Replacement calandar/tasks program - Tons out there, but I don't like the MS one.
4. Games - Again, find ones you like.
Hi friends.I have a big problem with my hero.Some places doesnt work on touchscreen.But i load custom rom same places work.But this time another places doesnt working.For example (a,s,d,f,g,h,j,k,l) on keyboard with original rom working.but i load sensehero 1.5 or 2.1 this place doesnt work.At this time (c,v,b,n,m,<) doesnt working.I dont understand is this hardware problem or is this software problem???
Sorry for my English
I am using one of the new Eris based 2.1 ROMS (Defiance 2.1). I have noticed that if I lie the phone down flat on a table, parts of the screen do not respond to touch, however held normally in my hand it all works perfectly, so try holding the phone at a different angle etc.
I have seen another post somewhere mentioning the screen not working properly when layed down.
Hi
A hate to be break your heart but i think you will need to return your mobile as its a hardware problem. Been fighting with HTC over it as i live in country where the customer service centre from HTC are not available and now i am stuck with the set.
Best of luck... and let me know if u can find a solution
Hello everybody,
I have HTC touch Pro 2/Tilt 2 and I am looking for a screen digitizer to be supplied to me in INDIA. Can somebody help me find a supplier and/or tell me ow much would it cost.
In the mean time, any help on how to use phone without using screen as input.
Thanking you in anticipation
regards
No help on finding a digitizer in india, but its strange that my phone's digitizer went out just a week ago, perhaps HTC is purposely forcing us all to upgrade by breaking our phones
just got an aria to replace it, android is nice but i miss that physical keyboard
the phone is very hard to use without touch screen input, i got it to work for most things, but things such as sending a text message didnt work, just learn to use those arrow keys on the physical keyboard and you should be able to do most things
Well, Thanks mate, It is quite difficult to use TP2 Pro without interacting with screen at all. as the keyboard does not have any keys or settings to define softkeys. All I am trying to do is find a way to use this phone, as I my opinion the only better than TP2 is DOPOD 838 PRO. you can use this phone to its full potential with or with touching screen and/or without hard keys. It had infrared, bluetooth, wlan, gprs, 3g and what not. the only thing it lacked in was processor and memory. Only if I can upgrade it. I would never give up my DOPOD 838 PRO.
Screen digitizer for HTC TP2
Got it replaced in Bangalore for 6k.
TVS-E service centre in Basavanagudi at 080-4091 3947
Please give them a ring to figure out how you can do it from your city, if you are not Bangalore.

Hello there, i'm new in all this stuff of android devices and more.
I've bought a cheap tablet to begin with, it's a Skytex Skypad Pocket.
The issue here it's that it was working ok, but then i messed up with busybox and i had to flash. After flashing, the interface changed a lot (since the beginning and after flashing, the android version is 4.0.4 ICS), but that's not the point.
The only issue i have is that the accelerometer is inverted for portrait. I mean, It works great for "up and down", but when I tilt it left, it points right and if I tilt left it moves right. I though it was an app issue, but it does it also with the "auto-rotate" function. Also, I've used Elixir to check and in fact, the accelerometer is inverted for left and right.
Any suggestion? I've flashed a lot of times getting the same.
Maybe someone can help me with messing with the ROM? (tinyurl(dot)com(slash)9y6p7un)
