WM 6 (Orwell) - Wizard turns itself on every 1-5 minutes

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.

Sound drops on other side of the line, help needed

Hi,
I have a problem with my Tytn II. When I'm calling with the phone to my ear (not even with the speaker on), the sound on the other side regularly drops to a very low level, and then goes up again. I however, keep hearing the person on the other side of the line without a problem.
This happens in some calls, not everytime. And if it occurs, it occurs on some moments, a few times in a row, and then it works fine afterwards.
It's my second Tytn II already, since I exchanged the first one, which had exactly the same problem. I already disabled 3G, but it didn't help...
1. Anybody who has the same problems? Any solutions?
2. Is this the fault of the device, or is it a network setting/problem?
3. Anything else you guys can suggest I try...?
Update: I got me another device again (third one already), this time a Dutch version (since 2 WWE versions had the problem).
I still have the same problem. On some calls, I cannot be heard from time to time on the other side of the line, which is really annoying.
Could this have something to do with the 3G/data connection problem mentioned in another post?
Thanks

Nobody can help me...?

There are more people who have this problem. I just called to HTC support to report the speaker-problem. During the call, the person could not hear me at certain moments. But I was not using the speaker! She included this in the ticket. They have no answer at the moment.

Come on people... Please post your experience here, so I can be sure if this device is faulty or not...

Did you try to change the "Settings > System > Microphone AGC" Settings?

I think so yes... but I'm asking here to see if it's only my device that has it, or other people are having it too...

Nope, i have similar issues too. I find that when people don't hear me if i use Mute/Unmute, the issue goes away (at least for that call). Like you, i cannot always reproduce it, it happens from time to time, but no specific rule of occurrence.

Just noticed your posting. Yes I have this problem too. Am on Orange UK. I thought it was just the people I was talking to who were being ignorant & not listening to me properly.
Also noticed that the phone often just turns itself onto silent or vibrate even though I always keep both volume settings at full. Bizarre!!
If these two issues persist then I will be calling Orange as I keep missing calls due to the volume issue & secondly as it's a phone people should be able to use it as such.
*come back my beloved HTC Universal - your size is forgiven*

Sound drop
Hey people,
I've noticed the same here, i found another post on the forum that has the answer.
It worked for me.
This is what you can do:
Go to properties and the choose phone, then go to tab Band.
Here you change type network tot gms instead of auto. This wil increase your signal strength!

I'm kicking this post, since I got me another device again (third one already), this time a Dutch version (since 2 WWE versions had the problem).
I still have the same problem. On some calls, I cannot be heard from time to time on the other side of the line, which is really annoying.
Could this have something to do with the 3G/data connection problem mentioned in another post?

Just noticed this thread...
Same problems here, on an at&t Tilt.
My hope is that this is just a radio issue, and can be fixed in an update.

Finally I have found others with this problem! Thought I was going mad.
I sent my device back to htc and they replaced the board, but I am still having this issue. Sent it back to them today but now I dont hold out much hope of this being fixed now I see others have tried replacements. Very strange that only a few of us are getting it, even with different / devices new boards.
Are others not experiencing this at all or are they just putting up with it as it is a new device. Very annoying for personal use, but for business it is totally unusable.
Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this / how to resolve?
Thanks,
Steve

I now have the same problem after installing MS Voice command, I am wondering if everyone else in this post is using MS Voice command or is just a coincidence that the problem started after it was installed.

hmm
any fix for this then?

This phone is driving me nuts

This phone is making me like...crazy!
and this is why:
I synct some playlists to the phone with windows media player 10, suddenly all playlists on my diamond are empty.
When i removed all the playlists on windows media player 10 to sync them again, it deleted all my songs!
now i got all my songs onto the device again, and wanted to alter 1 playlist, it took windows media player 6 minutes, to just alter, replace, 1 pooping playlist!\
Its not possible to remove a playlist created in the touchflo music player itself.
Not able to select it and then delete it.
Half of the icons in the games folder are ****ed up, we already have a thread with solutions(i tried all of them), but none of them worked.
And the performance, even with the tlr rom or whatever the name was, the diamond still goes slow!
And the battery depletes quickly, with auto attach off, and incoming beam off.
Cant receive a file with bluetooth, with incoming beam on or off, it keeps saying my pc is a new device and asks if i want to set a password, no matter if i set a password or not, it goes back to the menu, and still says my pc is a new device
And i used a mod of the diamond tweaks thread, to auto lock my diamond when the screen goed off.
Well, 1/5 times, it autounlocks itself when i turn the screen back on. not good...
And finally, the opera browser is sometimes not doing what i want. sometimes goes to a random place on the page, if i move and let the stylus go, it moves back to that random page, to fix this i need to quit, then restart opera.
This happens about 1/5 times i use opera.
Is this where i payed 481 euro's for...?
Any ideas how to fix this sh!t is welcome, i already did a hard reset to try getting rid of some problems.

what do you mean?
theres a whole list of bad things there.
btw: forgot to mention that the diamond stylus made some nasty scratches on the screen when wiping over the screen in opera to scroll page, or goto next photo in touchflo, ect.

Got a protector included for that.
Install a fresh rom, I don't have any of your problems.
I use bluetooth a lot:
Sending files (goes hell fast), don't want to use cable when using .cab files here
For my parrot
For use as a modem (have reached 120kbyte/second) when online with phone!
All flawless.
I have very very good results with HTC's own new rom update via e-club.
TLR nr. 2 was quite buggy at my phone.
GOod luck!

Spare yourself next trouble to come and sell it, as I did with mine

what have you got now may i ask?

Humbly returned to my previous P535.
I must admit that apart from Diamond, there is currently not many devices to choose from on the market... Was thinking about getting P750, but still unsure...
Xperia scares me, mainly because of the unusual screen resolution (dunno how all the apps will handle it) and that also is supposed to be made by HTC...
Maybe Diamond Pro will not suffer from these newborn diseases that my Diamond had - will see...

i think im going for the iphone 3g. will be expensive though...
the touch diamond really disappoints me...

Use the hardware buttons beneath the screen. You can navigate to the playlist you want to delete, and hold the 'enter' button to get the menu to get the 'right mouse button menu'.
Using your fingers it is impossible as it automatically selects the playlist if you press it. No menu will pop up.

What do you mean? It will be much cheaper than the Diamond.
I wonder if you're expecting to install applications on that phone, or do any customization...

Mwahahahahahha!!!!
Another Winer! XD
I'd give this post 5/5 for creativity, 6/5 for whining and -1 for usefullness ^^
you can almost FEEEL that you joined only after buying the phone, and I'd guess that it's your first WM one..
Anyway, regarding your problems..
If your phone really is that bad, it's probably broken (pre-production, grey, some dimwit dropped it in the shop or any other reason). In any case, return it by warranty, and get a new one..
Having so many people love this phone, and being able to fix the issues.. and only you and a handful of others run around whining.. Surely it's obvious that it's either a lack of hands.dll or a simple hardware failure..
I mean you should be smart enough to grasp it.... ermm.. right?
Cheers
P.S. Oh, and please don't be offended by this post.. It was mainly inspired by your post anyway, but it was written half-jokingly as I couldn't really answer seriously to that amount of QQ

@ 205_laCoste...
You're my hero.
Had a lot of trouble removing two playlists, but using the hardware buttons solved it right away....
Thank You!

I'm ready to throw my diamond out the window, for pretty much the same reasons. I paid way too much money to have so many problems. And I shouldn't have to flash a new rom. It should be good to go out of the box.
Before I'm also accused of being a whiner, there is a plethora of posts of people having the same problems....with no solutions. The bluetooth issue is a biggie. I tweak my phone to enhance it, but I shouldn't have to be a programmer to simply make it function properly. To suggest that is just arrogant.
There are things that I absolutely love about this phone, but simply as a phone it sucks.

most of the time it is not the fault of the phone but the person
using it.
a lot of people have come here after having a normal phone and
dont understand how to use this one.
treat it more like a computer than a phone.you dont have to be
a programer you just have to know how to read a thread and
follow the directions.
if you have a 1.37 rom you need to upgrade it to a 1.93.
1.37 is crap.okay it shouldnt have been but it was that why
it was upgraded to 1.93.
if you still dont get it then sell the phone.go buy a fruit
phone and get ripped off just like all the other sheep out there.

I have to stand up for nursie here. I've returned my diamond several months ago (yeah, it was driving me nuts) and am happily living with my P750... these offenses are absolutely not necessary and untrue as well as uncritically extolling the device - gee, it's just another PDA

I have to agree, to an extent.
It's generally accepted on here that the Diamond is badly configured out of the box, which is why new users are recommended to flash a new ROM. This is not a good thing, although it's great we have such a good community of chefs to help solve the problem.
What's less well accepted is that much of the HTC software on the Diamond is slow and awkward. I'm talking about TF3D and the HTC dialer in particular, get rid of them and you can make the Diamond a great little phone just like your P750.

I upgraded to 1.93. And I'm quite proficient at reading and researching. I'm also very proficient with current technology. I get it. What you don't get is that a consumer spending big bucks on this phone shouldn't have to resort to advanced tweaks (which I understand, BTW...you won't find me here asking newbie questions) in order to bring the phone up to basic performing standards.
Again.....yours is a fine example of ignorance masking itself as arrogance.

[Q] Turn off headset support

I recently dropped my Hero while having the headset connected, and the only conclusion I can come to is that it stabbed into the headset jack. Now it ALWAYS says I have headphones connected to the phone even when there aren't any. I've tried wiping the phone, different roms, and connecting and disconnecting the headphones continuously to see if maybe it'll go away but I haven't had any luck. My question is if there are any apps, scripts, or patches that I can install/flash to disable the headset support on my phone. Pretty much to make it so it can never accept headphones.

i would help out but then i realized you posted in the Q&A(the same post and question word for word). THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT SECTION AND YOU KNEW THIS! this should get you a ban. You just wanted more people to see your post. Are you developing anything?
READ THE RULES PLEASE! and quit being so impatient!
stick to this thread and i would delete this one if you can.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898638

There was an app noted on the initial release of the HeroC that did that...
Along with the SMS cpu lock issue, if you plugged in a pair of headphones and removed them, they wouldn't work again until you rebooted. You might want to search "sprint community hero by htc" and you should be able to find it Somewhere back in the 1.5 roms.
Edit: yea this needs to be moved.
@op, what about "Headset blocker" from the market? http://androidforums.com/incredible...andom-song-skipping-using-headphone-jack.html
And the suggestion back from the 1.5 rom days was "Headset Toggle Widget" http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/22962
There is also a note about pulling the batter for 5 minutes. Might fix your issue. Unlikely, but worth a shot.

Ahh but it is development if its a patch, ZING! Gotcha there lmao nah yeah I found I used the headset toggle app to disable it, its annoying that I have to do it every time I turn on the phone but whatever thats the price I get for dropping it

Have you tried sticking a toothpick in there and swirling it around? There are a lot of Palm pre owners who go through what you're describing pretty much any time they use headphones, and they use a toothpick to unstick the pin.

Help! Idol 4s making weird noises

Hello! I already posted about this on reddit but maybe someone here could help me too (I'm going to paste what I said there):
Yesterday, while I was in a call, I noticed that my phone was making a weird sound. It is a constant buzzing that is only hearable when I put my ear next to the screen or when the place I'm in is completely quiet. Also, when I turn the screen on, there's another sound that sounds a bit like a camera shutter (I don't know how to describe it better). Both of these sounds seem to be coming from the upper part of the phone and can only be heard from the touch screen, not from the back. Again, these sounds are barely audible but they still scare me a bit.
I don't live in the USA so using the warranty of this phone would be a huge, huge problem. It is also worth noting that I don't think this was happening before I updated to the latest system version,
which is 6.0.1-01001. Are system updates capable of causing problems like these?
I would seriously appreciate any kind of help. I am seriously a noob in these kind of things and really concerned. I already contacted Alcatel Support but they haven't replied yet. Thanks!

Well... my phone died like 10 days after starting this thread. It gets stuck in the "ALCATEL 4S" screen and then reboots. If you're in the U.S. I would recommend you to use it until it starts showing signs of it dying (my phone started to get really slow and started rebooting randomly) and then send it to repair
