Somebody told me that I shouldn't ask in the WM 6 Thread - ok, here's a dedicated one. Hope that's ok.
My Wizard bothers me - it turns itself on (while it's turned of) every 1 - 5 minutes when the memory card is inserted. Is it just me or does anyone of you have the same problem (and a solution??).
I'm running Orwells1984 on a G3.
Sry for this new account but i've lost the pwd for my old one.
that question has been asked and addressed in the same thread "someone" told you not to post in.
whats going on lately with all simple questions. its like more than usual now.
please people, read and search before you ask questions that have been answered a million times.
ok, thanks for your answer but i'm a bit confused ... someone tells me 'dont ask here' (while i obviously was in the correct thread) ... another one tells me that the answer already exists in the thread where i placed the question ... hey, i don't want to post spam threads and i've already used the search function (but i wasn't able to find something regarding my issue). but, guys - it's better to give a hint (thx hiimcliff) than giving senseless answers (someone).

i'm not flamming. don't get me wrong. its just better to ask that quesiton in the same thread than to spam the board with the same type of threads.
i think this subsection needs a mod though. honestly.
hey hiimcliff ... you're totally right (and i tried to explain that in my previous answer). ppl should turn on their brain before opening threads AND they should use the search function. absolutely d'accord. when you look into the wm6 rom for wizard thread, you'll see that i posted this question initially there - until someone told me that this is the wrong place ... that's the thing that made me confused .
but now ... still looking for the right answer regarding my prob ...
blue skies,

From what I've read, this is a know issue with the 1984 rom. I don't recall anyone coming up with a fix for it. Most just use one of the PDAviet roms - version 4 seems to do the trick.
I'm seeing the same behavior on pdaviet3. I think it may be related to Windows Live sync and/or the Windows Live today screen item but I'm not quite sure yet.

Uncheck Settings->System->Backlight->BatteryPower->Turn off backlight if device isnt used for ... min
And check Settings->System->Power->advanced->Turn off device if not used for ... min (In battery section)
After that Wizard will not turn on constantly.
btw Its not just WM6 issue, i had that on all AKU 3.x.
Changing the settings solved the problem. Thanks vasp205! Another solution is to lock the device.

Greets,
I am running a tilt with stock AT&T roms, but with the bloatware avoided through the timely soft reset.
I am wondering ... can I replace the home screen if I don't flash to a cooked ROM? If so, how?
Thanks!
if by "home" you mean "today" screen, then yes. simply by adding any today screen plugin.
a few things for you to search for:
start|settings|personal|today|items
HTC Home
SPB plus
HTC Homeplug
there's a good start for you
Tried ... Failed ... Help?
Greets,
I attempted to install HTC Home on my stock AT&T Tilt. It did install (confirmed by the fact that when I saw no evidence of it running, I tried to reinstall, and it told me it was already installed).
This still leaves me with my same old screen (except now, the orientation icon changed to a battery with a question mark on it).
Once installed on a stock AT&T Tilt, how do I run HTC Home to replace my main screen?
Thanks!
Changing the Today Screen options is explained in the book that came with your phone called a manual.
jgermuga - Interesting (not to be confused with helpful) response.
Had the presence of mind to check to see if your prior posts were also obnoxious ... not surprisingly, many are. Needless to say, I will not be responding further to anything you might care to characteristically come back with.
Great having you here - you clearly bring a lot to the table.
Start -> Settings -> Today Screen
I guess it may be possible that jgermuga was a bit snide but I can't really blame him/her.
Check your manual, do a search, or try to make your question more understandable.
If you want to change your Today screen, try this link: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/articles/softwaretips/personalize.mspx
It may be one of the most basic things to do on the PDA. How did you find us anyway?????
No good ...
I respectfully disagree! I do my fair share of answering questions on forums and the usenet, as well as those that come to me via email. I have NEVER been insulting or snide with people who ask questions. If they ask, they are hoping to get an answer, and very little is as disheartenening as learning that someone has posted a reply, only to see that it wasn't a (useful) reply at all.
One can spend their brain cycles coming back with a clever snide statement which does not help at all (and feel morally superior for the wit) or one can be helpful and answer the question. Since this is a forum, and people search for responses, the snide answer only provides a dead end for everyone who may seek help in the future.
So to those who actually answered the question, thank you VERY much.
In my case here, the provided answers did not work, but perhaps I asked the wrong question. I will need to look into this further.
As much time as you have wasted writing long and pointless replies, you could've read your manual and had your question answered already. Trust me - sit down with your phone and your manual and a beer or two and go through every page. I have done that with every phone I have owned and I learned a LOT of interesting little details that I wouldn't have known otherwise.

I agree. I've been using a PocketPC for over 5 years, and I still take the time to read over every manual. I always find a cool function for a button that I didn't know about, or something new about the OS that was changed, etc.
Hey i have no idea what happened but i tried putting the touch it on to My phone after the hardspl was put in but now it is not even starting up it is only staying at the CanonYang start up screen can you help me or did i brick it
try booting your phone into the boot loader and then reflash another or the same rom to it. My kaiser did the exact same thing to me using the newly released "Official Tilt Rom" off of the HTC website. I lost my information but at least I was able to put on a different rom. Hopefully this helps.
How???
HOw do i do that because the phone is only starting up to the like "welcome screen" of Canon Yang?
Look in the xda wiki to find your phone or variant. On the kaiser you do a soft reset using the stylus and hold down the camera button until you see the 3 colored lines. Other phones are different so don't forget about checking that wiki. I never knew what it was until a while ago when someone explained it all to me and then showed me. There should be a link on top of your page or on the side that says XDA-Wiki. They even have pictures of your phone if you do not know what it is since companies use the same phone and release it with thier own name. Hence the ATT Tile is a variant of the HTC Kaiser. I hope this helps.
PLEASE DONT CROSS POST AND SPAM

I agree. All the Herald forums have this same new thread. Isn't one enough?
Davenumber, you can edit your preferences under the quicklinks drop down menu on top of your page. Edit your profile and tell it to send you an E-mail as soon as someone responds to your thread. This will allow you to get notified as soon as someone responds and you will not have to post in multiple forums. Best of luck. Let me know what happens.
Yeah but the thing is
The problem is the phone wont even start up it stays on the Canon Yang screen (like when you restart or start up the phone). so yeah i am kinda thinking it is bricked
unbrick it with the RUU.
If you're coming up to a canonyang screen, it would appear that hardspl worked ... so You should be able to flash any rom you want from bootloader.
Hey.
I just got my new (used 6 months) Diamond, after my Trinity has crashed. But what i observed is that the battery life is extremely low. Is there any possibility to make it last longer. I have seen somwhere on a forum that the combination of SPL, Rom, and Radio might help, but i lost somewhere this thread, cannot find it anymore....
So please can you help me to solve that issue? The Trinity could go much longer when i was using GPS. I was thinking that Diamond should be better.
Plese help.
could you please help?
i ve seen response to threads like this:

Holy #@$*'ing @$*t ! Sorry your highness for making you wait all of one day to respond to a question that has been discussed ad nauseam throughout the entire internet.
Google is a good friend. Try typing in "Diamond battery life" into Google search and you'd be absolutely amazed as to what happens when you subsequently click on the search button! Let me show you: http://www.google.com/search?q=diam...-ca&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1
In a nut shell;
1. Diamond battery is very small @ 900mAh. Buy a bigger battery if you want
2. Don't leave bluetooth, wifi, and 3G on when you don't need it. All of them draw a lot of power
3. Turn off auto backlight adjustement and set it to a brightness that is comfortable for you to read.

Hey everyone, I'm VERY new to this forum. I have no idea if this post belongs here, so if it doesn't please forgive me. I have spent a lot of time "ghosting" this forum for advice as well as tips and I can't seem to find any threads specifically tethered to my questions.
First off, I'm not even sure I should be posting here because I'm unsure on whether or not questions about the FUZE should be in the Raphael section. I know it's the same phone but I couldn't find one specifically for the FUZE.
Anyway, I'm having a couple problems (mainly with the new rom 5.11 from the htc website.)
The first and formost, I hate the new messaging style they have. I carry my phone in my pocket, and I hate how my phone wakes up every time I get a text message. My screen keeps getting touched after I get a text and ends up pressing things I don't want it to. Also, it used to be that if you kept a convo opened, all the texts you received would count as read. Not the case anymore. I now have to open and close the conversation once for each message I received. 10 messages means opening and closing 10 times. That's ridiculous...I don't want to have to spend a lot of time getting my phone to register I read the texts. My last problem with the messaging, is I used to be able to open the keyboard, and start typing, not worrying about trying o find the last message I received. Unfortunately, now I have to scroll all the way down to read the message, and I have to click the entry box to type. The last one isn't really that big of a problem, it's just more of an inconvience.
The next problem I'm having is my phone likes to use WAY too much battery to do anything. Even when I have no programs running in the task manager, my usage is at 48% (give or take 2%). I know I read somewhere on XDA about a rom that uses 25%, and starts up quickly, but I have no idea where I read that.
I'm not looking for people to just hand me answers or programs or anything like that, but if you guys can just link me to the thread containing where I could possibly find what I'm looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys, Nitro
Hey Nitro i'm going to try and answer your questions (since im still somewhat new im not sure ill be 100% right but ill try =D) ok so for the messaging thing. that is a rom specific thing i think. Becasue i am using a WinMo 6.5 rom and dont have that issue. As for the second thing im not sure if its a WinMo 6.1 problem but i kind of remeber it being a reason i switched to 6.5. Now for battery life you should go into the roms section and look for some kind of rom that says something about energy (usualy there is one in the top list). How ever most of the new rom's are on 6.5 so... you will have to either look far back in the pages or upgrade (and maby if your lucky there might be a 6.1 in the top list.) The energy rom's will also affect your ram usage but be warned it will have an impact on how fast your phone is. So you might have to do a bit of testing to see which ones are for you. Also when looking for the rom make sure it says for the fuze on that page if it is not you can still use it (however you will need to get a thing called keyboard switcher because its really funny when you are trying to send an email and press the @ on your keyboard and get the number 2 =P. Any way here is a link to the roms Link to roms
Thanks for the reply.
I had no idea WM 6.5 was even out...That's awesome. I'm gonna play around a bit with those roms to see if one is better...Thanks for your help
So today I found another big problem I have with the rom I have...I can no longer send a text to more then one person at a time...Why did they take that out?? I used to be able to send a message to a bunch of people, and it worked perfectly, but now it only registered the first person. I noe have to send the same message 15 times just so everyone gets it...Like seriously, As if the rom using 50% power isn't enough, let's make people take 10 minutes to do something that should take 30 seconds. I officially hate the software devs at HTC.
Just as a funny side note, it took me 4-5 min to write this message, and my battery went from 100% down to 92%...AWESOME! God I hate this.
Hello there
You may want to flash a new ROM and Radio to your phone. Its not a difficult task and you will like the results. I personally use NRG's ROM Here and love it.
The radio rom is really what conserves battery life. I matched the latest one on the radio page here to the rom i linked above ( Radio 1.14.25.35) . Its a good combination if you ask me. I see that you are just north of me in PA ( Im in Baltimore ) and also on ATT. To be honest you may have to play with radios until you find the balance between signal strength and battery. What works for me may work for you because we are in the same general area with the same cellular provider. My battery has been off charge for more than 2 hrs and im at 98% ( although ive been on my laptop for the most part).
As far as accidentally hitting buttons, I use a slide lock on my screen ( like the Iphone screen lock) so when it turns on, you have to use the slider to unlock it. This will not only lock your phone from accidental misdials and screen taps, but also it shuts the screen BACK OFF after a set number of seconds therefore conserving your battery !!!!!! This is the application I use . Download the VGA version.
If you need help, feel free to send me a PM here and Ill do my best
P.S.
This is the right place to make a post. A Fuze is a Raphael.
I rooted, Installed CWM, via the Verizon Zimage, tried out spacemoose's Version of Honeycomb (CDMA Build 2.5), Played with it for a few days, was awesome, however missed having my 3G so I used the EA24 flasher, got it back up, still no 3G, tried a few other flashing tools, while wiping each time in between, started 1 last flash right before bed, went to sleep, and apparently the battery died...
Has been plugged into wall now for roughly 1 hour, and occasionally the phone to pc icon flashes on...then back off, I read somewhere here before about taking it apart and charging the battery...but now can't seem to find the post, I have allready removed the back, so I can see the battery, and it's 5 pin connector, just need to know what to do now to charge the battery....any help?
It's the Sprint Version of the galaxy tab, if that helps any.
Not trying to be an ahole or anything, but 17 views, and no replies?
I can't be the only 1 who saw the post on how to charge the battery when removed.
