Hi there,
I'm currently trying to help a friend of mine that owns the above model of PDA. He is having trouble accessing the phonebook to save contacts. Everytime you click to access it it just reverts back to the phone dialer screen. I have tried both a hard and soft reset but nothing seems to work. He also is interested in using it as a GPS system. As it stands he only has the PDA and charger as he lost the box with the rest of the gear. As far as i can tell, i'm going to have to get him a memory card, GPS reciever and some software (probably TOM-TOM) as well as a data cable to load it all up. Any suggestions regarding this would also be appreciated.
thanks in advance

my xda2 dident come with a datacable for anything but the cradle
so i would guess that it's the gps antenna which comes with the cable
if it's supports the pda
and you are a bit vague as to what your friend is trying to do when he end up on the phone dialer dialog
you can access contacts by
1 pressing the button in the left upper corner (unless it have been asigned to something else)
2 you can choose contacts in start menu or programs
3 you can press the icon in the buttom of the screen in the menu in side the phone application dialog
When you try any of the things above it quickly flashes up the contacts screen and then reverts back to the phone dialer screen.
Cheers for the quick response,
Blokey

Does he perhaps have a stuck key? Like the phone button stuck hald way? That would cause the contacts to disappear.

My XDA Mini S (Wizard) gets locked into the Call History screen and I can't get out of it. If I press the [phone button or activate the phone app from standby, it brings up the call history screen, not the keypad screen. The (soft) menu options are Call and Menu. Menu only has filtering settings or clear calls. There appears to be no way to get back to the keypad.
Help !! :?
TIA, Davebo.
Soft reset?
Yes, but...
Thanks, I have ben soft resetting, but it's not a quality solution is it?
At first I thought it might have been because I had no signal, but it isn't.
I think a firend has a similar problem on his Exec (Universal)
Aha!
Look like the unnamed app I was killing off in Task Mangler may have been the Phone app. Hence no keypad.
Since I stopped killing this app (which doesn't appear all the time) I haven't had the problem.
Cheers, DBo
I installed the HTC.Kaizer.Home.Plugin.with.Tabsetting.schen on my Alltel PPC6800. After setting up the weather tab for my city, setting up the pictures in the favorites tab, I was toying around in the launcher tab to see what the different icons did. When I tapped the 3rd one from the left (appears to be the one that adjusts the backlight) it turned off the backlight on my phone!!
I've tried everything I can think of to turn it back on with no luck. I tried pressing the power button, every other button on the thing, soft resetting it, and pulling the battery for as much as an hour and then restarting it. NO LUCK!! The phone appears to be working since I can press the phone button twice and call the last number called. I just can't see the screen.
WHAT DO I DO!!!! Is there anyway to hard reset it without going into settings and clearing the memory? Or is there some shortcut to turn on the backlight?
Oh, and BTW, it still syncs with my PC. (Again, I just can't see the screen!) So is there anyway to make any needed changes, hard reset, or anything else via active sync?
Sorry for such a retarded first post but I am at total loss here. I've searched and haven't found anyone having had anything similar to this problem. At least I haven't found it. Apparently I'm not as smart as I thought I was.
Much thanks in advance for any help provided!! I really depend on my phone!!
ActiveSync Remote Display. You sync your phone with the computer, run ActiveSync Remote Display on the computer, and it will display the contents of the screen. It's how a lot of people get screenshots of what is on their phone. Special installation instructions for WM6.

You need to hit the same backlight button again. That will toggle through several levels of back lighting, one of which is off.
Does anyone else have a problem with the FM radio on the X1?
On my X1 the FM radio only seems to work when it feels like it. Often sitting saying "Powering On..." and not doing anything else. It something crashes the phone as well.
Also, is there any way to soft-reset without popping the battery? Like other HTC devices having the soft-reset button which you use the stylus to press.
(I'm using the (Nov 21) Touch-IT X1 M-HD 1.1 ROM with Panels and the SE FM Radio installed afterwards. The HTC FM radio has the same issues.)
Noticed that now using the radio as well - had to soft reset.
No idea though, also looking for a solution.
Something unrelated - does anyone know how to save the radio stations??
Whenever I change the panel, and back again, the stored radio stations in slots 1,2,3,etc are lost..
i cannot solve your issues but i have one of my own.
in the intructions it shows a settings menu button on the bottom right of the screen but on my voda it shows the live button.
this means i cannot acess the settings menu and yes i have tried the settings going into the pannel mode.
can anyone with aan unbranded x1 please tell me if they have the settings button.
i cannot set my aalarm or get any rds features due to the button missing.
thank you for your help
My problem solved itself - wierd.
There's a setting button??
All I see at the bottom are the standard "agenda" and "SPB Menu" (I have SPB menu installed). (Stock Dutch ROM)
Yeah if you look at the pannels quick manual that come in the box it shows a settings menu but i dont have it all i ahve is a live button from vodadumb
have a look cause you should be able to recieve traffic and rds feeds as well as setting an alarm on the radio pannel so the radio wakes you up. all of this i cannot do.
Booger. I can't access the settings also then.
Stuff the panels idea - is there a Radio Application?? (one which can run while I have FB panel open?)
i dont knw hope someone does tho
There is a soft reset button,
1) remove the battery cover
2) take out the stylus.
3) you can find now a small hole you can put the stylus in next to the battery (when the stylus is inside the mobile, it will block this hole), put the stylus in this hole and press the button inside it.
here you go, soft reset
I do think they were a bit dumb about the reset button.
Surely the whole point of a reset button is so you DO NOT have to remove the battery cover?
Its quicker to pull the battery out than to operate the reset button which makes it near pointless. Especially as getting the X1 cover off can be tricky, and once you get it off trying to get it to STAY back on is problematic.
how did we get onto the soft reset topic? this is nothing i was talking about.
My problem and many other people have noticed a missing menu in the radio pannel.
on the bottom right of the screen should be a settings menu but its not there? WHY?
people with or without a branded phone dont have the menu specified in the instructions.
Can anyone have a look at the instructions and look at there radio pannel to see if they have it.
and im not talking about the one when you enter pannel mode
i cant seem to start the Radio anymore. the on/off buttons dousnt respont.
the other buttons still working. running WM6.5 on it.
anyone got a solution for me?

Hello
I have two little issues I can't find soultion to..
1. My device boots, htc logo appears and then keypad shows up to enter the SIM PIN...but it closes before I input so I have to manually turn off the airplane mode and then turn cellular on...
Is there a way to fix this?
2. The topright corner cross (or sometimes even the OK) should be white (if clickable) but sometimes it is grey..is this normal or I have something bad going on...it works, it is just annoying that sometimes it is gray sometimes white...
If someone knows how to fix these two please let me know...thank you very much...
if only these two issues was the only ones....
Concerning the pin code screen that disappear, instead of put your phone on plane mode, you can just click the call button : it will display the pin code screen again.
ow..thanks you..I will try that one..
and regarding the issues...luckilly I dont have many...
1. This seems to be TF3D - when the phone re-starts from reset it wants the SIM code. But, TF3D starts as well and then takes over the screen. Any use of the phone now will give the SIM code screen. So, the other advice is good: hit the call button. I normally just wait for TF3D to do it's start-up and I normally get automatically the SIM code input screen.
2. I use http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html as a replacement for the OK button. But before I never had the grey OK button. Try exploring the OK button options in start - system - task manager - button
thanks for your help....
ow and btw I hate touchflo
i have standart homescreen customized
If you don't need the security provided, why not turn off the SIM pin entry?
Hi! I have a massive problem atm that I'm hoping to get your guys help on. My screen on my HD2 WP7 device is caput...not responding at all to any touch input. I know that this had nothing to do with the ROM (PDAimatejam Rom v8) but more the hardware itself (I believe that this is a common problem with old HD2's - ie. diffuser goes or something). Right now the only thing I can do is accept or reject an incoming call. I don't mind resetting the device but there are 2 SMS text messages that I desperately need to read.
Is there any way to access these via my computer using USB->microUSB, or if there is a utility that I can flash to it to allow me to access the device interface? If so, it will have to be something that I can flash as I cannot access the device interface at all.
Hopefully I can resolve this soon with your advice/help! Thank you in advance!
you can try but only if you have SMSBackup installed on phone
restart phone (screen must be not locked) to show main screen with tiles
connect to Zune
install SMSBackup to phone (if not installed) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448197
install wf Phone Tools to PC (if not installed) http://wpmanagertool.codeplex.com/
run wf Phone Tools, connect to device (Zune must be run and screen unlocked), select "extract sms from device"
Thanks for the reply dxdy. I'm downloading wfPhoneTools now. ClickOnce installer ran but application doesn't open. In any case, I'm unsure if this work....if I reboot my phone I won't even be able to get to the main tiles interface. I can bypass the "Enter PIN" screen by pressing 'Back' on my device, but that will take me back to the lockscreen, and device is not registering any touch input for me to even slide up to unlock. Advice please?
screen not responding? try pressing the call and power button alternating quickly and simultaneously. This works coz sometimes the digitizer is located at the bottom of the power button and gets stuck at times from pressure (like putting it in a tight pocket) and the green button puts counter pressure on the opposite side so relieve the pressure

Hi drmodify. Tried that as well but to no avail. I followed some advice I read up somewhere on XDA to press down hard just above the power button, in a way to kind of 're-seat' the digitizer (lol, I called it a diffuser in my op!). That actually did the trick, albeit temporarily. But managed to get my SMSs off the phone. Thanks anyway for the input!
