Hi guys
Little help needed.. I've had the phone since Aug 09. Had loads of problems with it, but have now decided after nearly a year to update phone as I've lost all notification lights, the charging light, etc. etc. It's not a great phone at the moment!
Donwloaded latest ROM from the HTC site, plugged in phone, and it wouldn't work. Something about the abl, or acb? Wouldn't connect properly when searching etc.
Anyway round it, Tried disconnecting from net, but figure it needs the connection. But didn't work either way.
Is the latest Orange update the one to go for? Does it help the lousy signal, the frozen text messages?
When it says you lose all data, can someone clarify that for me please? Numbers, Sim card info, Phone numbers info, Pics, Music, Email set ups? etc. etc.?
Thanks
Which ROM have you tried?
If you haven't tried it yet, try the VillainROM 12 I think its pretty stable.
Hi, its the latest one for Orange on the HTC forum, but that's not the problem.
It's the fact I can't get the programme to take. It's that ab thing that keeps stopping me and the ROM just exits..
If your ROM is rooted then you shouldn't install the HTC official updates, instead look at the developers forum here and try ROMs from there. For example VillainROM 12 and many others are based on the latest official HTC update.
If your ROM is not rooted, I am not sure what the problem is. Assuming you don't want to root it, maybe you can get support either from HTC or from the shop you bought it at.
Have you got the latest HTC Sync installed?
Hi
Thanks for your replies.
No, not rooted, not anything, since I got it 12 months ago. Other than plugging into pc to transfer pics which always worked. HTC sync? Not aware of?
Never updated Rom ever, but its given me so much grief over the last year, I get maybe 2 web pages and then it freezes for ages and the green line sits for 10 mins before another page. Is that the nature of this phone? Would an update make a difference to that problem?
I downloaded few apps the other night and removed them and now all lights notifications and charging lights don't work. Typing is so laggy and painful to do. Texts won't scroll for minutes...
I just can't understand how everyone says this phone is so great?
I know its a year old now but its always been like this.
Any help much appreciated.
Install HTC Sync and you're problems should go away, though you may need to boot into fastboot and install the driver for that too for the update to work. I can describe that if necessary.
Thanks again ...
Fastboot? Lost me on that one
What does the Rom update erase?
Will try this tomorrow and see if I can get sync on there
You lose everything, but considering the problems you're having this may not be a bad thing. You can backup certain data without root access (such as texts i believe) but that is about it. Check out SMS Backup & Recovery for that. HTC Sync will do contacts (though you should really be using Google contacts by now rather than phone or sim).
Having said that you should lose nothing on your SD card, but I would format that after putting the new system on just in case (so backup to computer etc).
I'll explain fastboot if it's needed. Post back detailed error messages if you get any after installing HTC Sync.
Thank you for your help. I will attempt that when I'm at home, can't do at work.
Forgot to ask, have many others had the phone switching itself off problem? It still does this, and only when you remove battery will it switch on again. No idea why, but you can press every button and nothing doing till battery is removed. Love to know what causes that...
I'm a great ad for this phone huh.
I wanted to post it in the SalsaHero rom, but as I can't, is it normal that I can't add some htc widgets in SalsaSense?
I just flashed 4.0-beta and I cant add some widgets like "Agenda" or People, nothing happens.
I dont know if it's something I did wrong, if it's an issue, or if it's just unsupported by the rom.
Thx very much
Luc.
I had that problem but you have to try again until it comes on
i have the same issue
is there someone who can help us ??
Just added Agenda one sucessfully, I had multiple calendars, I just de selected all of them and re-selected dont using the "All Calendars" button. Couldn't find a way to get "People" working. Still trying.
I have noticed that some widgets will only appear when the home screen is empty - no matter if the widget would fit between the others.
Try adding the widget on an empty screen and move it to your desired screen.
It worked! Thank you!
I flashed my g2touch with salsasense too all going well without simcard but as soon as I put my simcard in it htc apps and system and everything comes with force close.
Anyone knows a solution for this?
I have a 2 GB SD card and a 8GB SDHC card. Both working fine with SalsaSense. I am using FAT32.
Salsa Sense 4.0
Is someone else experiencing problems in installing new apps?
the phone restarts every time an app is to be installed, wont even let me install through file managers
If you're talking about installing widgets from that HTC market or whatever it is, i've also been having trouble with that. Some things work, others dont.
Hi! I'm new to this forum, I just got a replacement X2 from Verizon after receiving Several Fascinates in the mail and the issue not being resolved...
:::::::::::::::EDIT::::::::::::
My Bad, it never fails as soon as you ask a question to a public forum OR tell your spouse something doesn't work..... It magically fixes itself.
I have no idea what happened but all the accounts that are supposed to be on the phone from the beginning randomly appeared..... Are things always this confusing with the X2?
:::::::::::::::EDIT::::::::::::
Anyways, on to my question, I'm playing with it right now stock before I go and root it I like to be familiar with the phone, but I cannot for the life of me get Facebook to sync my contacts. And I'm not talking about the merging and all that, I don't mind merging/joining manually, but my Facebook contacts won't populate or even give the option, I've uninstalled and re-installed a couple times already, but I read somewhere about a "Stock" Facebook app/acct, my only option is to download it from the market.. This phone seems pretty cool but even though it is still android it is a lot different from the fascinate.
Thank You for any help!
Danielle
You and the rest of us...
I know the facebook that comes pr-installed on the phone will ad every contact if you sign in under the social messaging app..crazy why the market facebook has no option

Yea agreed Droid X2 is very Flaky.
I have problems with My Verizon Mobile ,
Backup Assistant , apps disappearing & reappearing
icons disappearing . Verizon CS & Tech is a great source
of misinformation like spinning a roulette wheel .
No help at all unless you like being more confused ?
Aaanywayyy that a whole other topic sorry for the rant.
I have traced the disappearing apps & icons.
To when i plug phone into computer via usb
to load music etc. I then noticed that it was always
the same apps & icons . The only thing they all
have in common is I had moved them to sd card
moved back to phone no more disappearing act.
Iam new to this phone also just 2 weeks so still
learning . Hope this info will be of some value

Hey all, sorry if this has been asked, but I have done searches and tried looking thru the forum and cant find an answer... So today after I got sick of my Droid X2 not working properly on stock for months now, I finally went ahead and tried rooting and installing CM7 and this time around (well on my second or third try tonight) I got it installed and working!! Well, working for the most part. So far I am super impressed and enjoying the rom! The one major issue is I cant seem to sync my contacts from Google. I have always been able to in the past on stock and what not, but not on CM7. I get like 3 contacts that were saved to my phone, but everything else is gone. Ive added my gmail account that they were associated with and synched and still no contacts. If anyone could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated!
*Also, just checked my calendar and its working fine... all my info has updated there, but still not my contacts...
This also happened on a friend of mine's x2 when I flashed cm7 for him. Not sure why?
I suspect it had something to do with google not sync the contacts properly before I flashed though, and nothing to do with the rom.
I felt so bad that he had lost all his contacts. I swore then to never flash rom's for anyone else, and I haven't. I just direct them to xda. If I can learn it, then they can too.
O catches my friends 30 to root and rom... did u correctly flash the Google apps thing for aosp roms? Try again with the flashing of Google apps.... but it's just a few numbers...

Edit: I charge my friends....
I had the same exact thing happen to me...
Thanks for all the help... I ended up just staying up for a few hours and re-adding it from Verizons backup assistant. I did a search for the CM7 rom in general (not just for the DX) and some others had the problem and used Verizon to get their contacts back. The sad thing though was there is a file you are able to download from Verizon and put it on your sd card to load your contacts... but I tried and tried and couldnt get it to work. I tried putting the file on the SD, then on the internal and nothing... So I just went thru one by one and added them in myself... heh.
Now my next issue is that my wifi drops out frequently. I have not had the chance to look it up, but was wondering if any of you have had this problem. I am hoping the file was not outdated, as the stuff I put on the phone I got back in January and February. Not sure if there have been updates since then, but I thought I would ask. If anyone has a fix I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks again everyone!

I am... been looking thru the forums for the past hour. Sure I will figure it out...
The best way (in my experience) to keep contacts while going from ROM to ROM is to use the import/export feature in the contacts list.
Contacts -> menu button
Select import/export, then export to SD card.
This sends a vCard file to your SD card which you can keep there or backup to an external HDD or computer HDD.
To restore, follow the same instructions and select import from SD card. Select the file and watch all of your contacts come back
Verizon's backup assistant is crap IMO. It's too slow and confusing to navigate efficiently.
I recently bought an HTC One that has been rooted and is running Android 4.3. Overall the phone seems to work properly but there are three frustrating things that I am struggling with (so far):
1) The photo gallery doesn't work - no images are displayed in the gallery even though they are saved in the phone's file system. Can't make new galleries. - This is not critical, I found a third party app that works, but it might be related to the other problems.
2) There are no sounds listed in the Ringtones/Notification/Alarm area and no ability to add any (+ is disabled). The default sounds worked until I tried to install a third party ringtone. Most of the apps crashed, but one app did say it installed the ringtone. Now I have no ringtone at all. Can't find the default 'cause it never showed and if a new one installed it is nowhere to be found, but I have no ringtone anymore. Almost as if the old default got unsuccessfully overwritten.
3) Never got any sync apps to work. HTC Sync Manager fails when trying to install drivers on my computer from the phone. I've tried all of the suggestions that I found regarding that issue.
I am a total noob on Android OS but know my way around Windows pretty well and Linux moderately. If it were a Windows or Linux computer I would think there is a path or permissions setting that is off, but I know nothing about phone OS. I don't want to become a Droid expert or learn the ins and outs of rooting or whatever. I just want a phone that works. I can find my way around the file system. Maybe I need to put it back to original OS? I have seen several articles on that and can probably handle it if I have to, but would rather get the current installation working properly. Any advise you can give is appreciated.

Thanks for the response. I am reading articles and watching videos on how to do this. One question that I don't see answered is will reverting back to stock affect my carrier service? I am currently using Straight Talk rather than AT&T.
Thanks
SIM unlock is not effected by flashing a ROM. RUU or custom.
