Noticed Something Strange.. Hard Buttons Have Lights? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Okay, I'm not sure what has happened. I picked up my HD2 last week, I had WinMo running until I got home from the store LOL. After trying the different builds I settled on Darkstone FROYO for obvious reasons to me. Ran it ever since, until today, I decided to give a different radio a try due to the fact that large file downloads ie Google Sky Map would fail and I read that a different radio may help. After flashing the radio I went from the Chucky ROM to RC4.7 BLACK TMOUS VR ROM. All went well. Backed up my SD CARD DATA and reformated it to FAT32 32KB, copy my backup back on the SD and loaded dual boot.
Booted right up into Android and right away i see my hard keys are lit up. To be honest I didn't know they even were lighted. LOL.
Anybody else notice this?

They are not working in any build as of now. Are you sure that when you booted into Android from WM, these buttons were not lit up.
If they were, they gonna be lit up all the time (even if you lock the device). If that is the case, would suggest you to reboot it to windows and boot into android only when the buttons are not lit up.

They are on... but yes you are correct. they are on all the time. Even when I lock or when the device goes to sleep.

You booted it from WM with them on, wait til they turn off before booting android

I noticed something else too... I still had the boot screen from the Chucky ROM even after the flash to the VR ROM. So I just reflashed to AxLor DF1 Xlite and that is taken care of. my lights are now off yet again.

wasted thread this has been talked about 1000 times over find another way to get your post up

they shouldnt be lit up lol

i agree... but maybe that how "he's" getting his post count up... lol
anyways, this has happened to me a couple times and i agree with earhog, wait till they are off in WM before u run HARET. this way they'll be off when you boot android and wont drain your battery as quickly...
rlee

Damn... I have always searched the forum for answers and advice prior to posting any questions... hence my post count. I did do a search and all I could pull up was posts about them not working. This was more of observation than a question that I thought was strange.
Nothing more.

exactly my point since this android port hit all we get are people posting things that are not helpful ...how is this helping any one , so what u are telling me is we need to help him figure out why his button lights are staying on ..the is a effin emulator ....how about i go post a thread ..."my android market is working"....wtf is that going to do for any one when there a 15 threads saying the same thing find one of thse thread to "CONTRIBUTE" to ...

Every post should be from a Developer or Chef?? The point of the post was... hey this is what is happening, has it happened to anyone else? How did you fix it? Ideas?
The EXACT point of this forum. If you you knew the answer and it was nothing that intrigued you... why did you open the post? Lol. Anyway, it has been answered, issue solved.

and you do have a point but the forum has rules and there specific rules for this whole hd2 android forum , thats why when you see people like me saying this stuff we never just put the answer its because would you tell your child the answer all the time no because we all know he really wont learn anything...which is the real reason for this site

I am using my first post just for you. You sir, are an ass and need to go elswhere with your "higher-than-mighty" attitude. Since none of the roms are finalized, this is an acceptable topic for this section. OP even stated later on, all he found was posts for the buttons NOT working. And it is apparent that he was asking if anyone else has ran into this issue. For all we know, there may be an issue the the ROM he has loaded that is causing the buttons to stay on like that.
So heed your own advise and stop padding YOUR post count.

noticed something like that too. the button lights are on SOMETIMES. I can say for sure, I didnt start haret with the lights on, but at some point the lights went on during running android (and stayed on). I think an incoming call triggered it, but I'm not sure.

Wizard Unlocking

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305225
I am trying to follow this tutorial but the links for the button rom and lokiwiz dont work can anyone link me one that works?
Thanks
read the 'read first' sticky in the wizard upgrading forum, everything is in there
That would be great advice if those links worked. But they don't work for me. Actually the problem I am having is identical to wind_sun's post in March. I will just copy and paste as I dont know if I could word it better. And it goes a lil something like this:
Dr. P:
I have been doing the unlocking SIM and CID for several rounds and no luck so far. So I am thinking that I would put up a message here for helps from you and others. Here is the related info:
tmobile USA MDA
IPL /SPL 2.26
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.26.10.2
I downloaded CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE and extracted into a folder and start the downgrade process by double click ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID since it is G3 with 2.XX ROM.
The verify screen reads:
From:
Model ID: WIZARD
Image Version: 1.2.0.0
Language: ENGLISH
To:
Model ID: Prodigy
Image version:
Language: WWE
Everything goes smooth until I get to 98% done. The tool complained:
ERROR[302]: UPDATE ERROR (My situation is different in the computer goes to 100% then states it has to close for some problem. It prompts me to send or don't send to Microsoft. The phone remains at 98%)
and ask me to recover by disconnecting usb cable and taking out battery, which I did.
After I put back battery, the MDA screen comes back with 3 color bootloader display. The screen still show IPL/SPL 2.26 version at this time. I did see USB on the left bottom of the screen when I reconnect USB cable.
Then follow the instruction to rerun the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID on PC.
It errored out at the 98% AGAIN and shows me the SAME error messages.
Repeat the process and it always errored out at the same point with the same error message.
Of course I was able to rescue my MDA by reflashing it with the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM with no problem.
But I still want to downgrade so that I can unlock and upgrade. There was no reply to this thread by wind_sun. A lil help? Thanks in advance.

I've not read the thread - i didn't need to, I followed the instructions exactly and it worked
I'm confused about what you're saying, firstly that the links to the roms didn't work, (so i gave you those links). Now it seems you are saying that the roms won't flash yet you also say you still can't download those same roms
i believe the guide i linked (not the one you were using) is foolproof, and if you follow each step exactly you can't go wrong.
also if you're having problems, you should post in that thread and not create a new thread - as it is monitored by the thread creator who may be able to help you.

so what was the response to that problem? (if any) does that not solve yours?
First, I apologize. I do not post often. The result is my forum etiquette is poor. This thread belonged to someone else. Initially, I was backing them up in stating that the first reply to this thread was incorrect and was not valid at the time of the posting. I knew this as I had tried those same links in the past 24 hours. My mistake was stating my problem in this thread in the same post obviously. That was poor mannered in hindsight. Second, being that I do not post to forums often I forget how excruciatingly detailed a post or thread has to be. Everyone is not always on my frequency. Even so, with matters of the technical sort, people probe and ask questions. In the future, I will try to do better.

LOL i didn't notice that the third post - yours - was not the same person as post one, that explains my confusion
however, as he/she didn't post back again (yet) i assume that the link in my first post works, so try that if you have not yet done so
BBOBECKYJ,
I was only agreeing with THESCREENSAVERS about the ANTC thread. I took it light that if two people found the links to be broken ANTC might look into it. I was not clear in separating that from my own issue or that it was ANTC's advice/tutorial my initial post referenced. You are correct. I was stating ANTC's links did not work. Another great tutorial(minus links). I OBTAINED THE ROMS LAST NIGHT. After navigating through our excellent forums, for 24 hours I found the links for the tools mentioned in ANTC's thread in DR. PUTTINGHAM'S thread that you suggested. Thank you for that. I should have done that initially for THESCREENSAVERS instead of switching to my own frustrating issue. I tried to kill two birds(issues) with one sloppy hand grenade(post). Selfish me. What a mess it is that I have to apologize and clean up the mess I made with 3 more posts(and counting). Now my friend, I am so glad that DR. PUTTINGHAM'S tutorial worked well for you. The wording in your last post makes me less than a fool though or a fool that has proven DR. PUTTINGHAM'S post to not be foolproof. The ROMS DO NOT FLASH FOR ME. I have gone wrong. And wind_sun too. Which, by search is wind_sun's only post...nearly two months ago. But since we are here now. Again, I still want to downgrade so that I can unlock and upgrade. There was no reply to this thread by wind_sun. A lil help? Thanks in advance. CAN ANYONE HELP?
P.S. How did you follow the instructions if you did not read the thread?
No avatar, no gif's, no kewl one-liner...I'm so lame....
To answer your last question first, I used Faria's unlocking guide first. Dr P simplified and explained in more detail the same things in his thread. I read only the first post of the Dr P thread when I got stuck with the Faria one.
I am not aware that anyone would be unable to flash the button rom, (which is not to say it couldn't happen) and just to be very clear, you are using this guide?
Dr P thread is stickied, for amongst other reasons - I think he monitors it and helps anyone with questions. (ANTC is probably busy cooking another wm6 rom atm LOL)
ps try to break up your posts, it is hard reading very long blocks of text (and harder to reply to question within it)
pps don't apologize for posting - that's what forums exist for. it is annoying when it is obvious that someone has not read anything and then expects everything done for them, but you did read and had a go
I'd just like to add my 2 cents here if you don't mind
@ Babyexp
Have you tried downloading Button ROM again as it might be corrupted even though the download completed successfully? That's why some sites like Linux distros ftp have a file with the result of a checksum (SHA1,MD5,CRC32,etc...) so that users know the file isn't corrupted
The other option is to use another PC to see if the RUU crashes same way
cheers
Awesome posts. I feel like I got something accomplished. Then, I didn't. I'm back to WM5. Wish I could lift my chin a little like you guys with WM6....
Are you telling me about reading? I always seem to have the quirks/problems noone else has. I've been browsing the forums for the better part of two days! I'm squinting so much now I look Chinese! LOL. Thanks again. Can I get a link Mestrini?

hi guys
I'll be quick - as babyexp says, we're not trying to hijack teh thread, but having multiple people with the same issue in one thread, then if someone comes to resolution, is a good thing, imo.
I've been also trying to upgrade an htc wizard to wm6. I've re-downloaded the latest files for button 1.05 (from rapidshare) and lokiwiz, and have been following ANTC's guide. In step 3, he says run button, and let it complete, but when I run it, it also progresses up to 98% on the Wizard and my laptop, then pauses. After 3-4 minutes, the laptop updates to 99%, leaving the Wizard at 98% (red progress bar on the wizard), and stops again. I've left it for about 30 minutes at this point, but now on my 4th try at flashing, it hasn't completed once yet.
After removing the battery, and restarting to the colorbanded screen, I've been able to reapply the tmobile rom (RUU_TMobile_US_226102_22610105_022511_WWE_Ship) to get the phone active again. However, attempting to put button on brings me to up to this 98% hang behavior
I've tried installing the wm6 rom directly on top of the tmobile one, which completes, but on restart, prompts for screen calibratrion, does customization, then is still running wm5 after the restart - even teh start/calibration screens look to be wm5. Strange behavior - my hermes upgraded with no issues, compared to this. Should I perhaps run lokiwiz first before button, and ensure that I run both a U(unlock) and C(Supercid unlock) ?
any pointers appreciated.
tks,
dwight.

yep, use the original unlocking guide, ANTCs is simplified i think. I linked it in my first post in this thread
ok thanks bbobeckyj - I'll give that a try on monday when i'm back in the office.
btw, "if at first you dont' succeed, try try again" isn't the best plan for these phones . I kept trying to reflash mine, and after about a dozen attempts, the battery died, and that was the end of that. ohh, i thought i had a brick there, as it wouldnt' charge via usb cable (i don't think).
I left it over night on a wall charger, and when i checked this am again, it was back to the colored bar screen, and I was able to put the tmobile base rom back on it. whew!
dwight.
Easy solution to ALLLL of these problems.
go to IMEI-CHECK .. pay the 40 dollars to unlock ur phone.. Update to WM6.. Easy.. Stop being cheap.

Dead camera on every rom....

I for the life of me cant figure out why my camera is completely dead! I have FULLY wiped all caches,everything under 'WIPE' via AMONS and even formatted my SD card as well as trying an alternate SD card(both 8GB--C6speed)--never had a problem w either card on ANY ROM...ALL OF A SUDDEN the past 2days my camera goes to a FULL BLACK SCREEN,when pressing the CAMERA icon. Occasionally the taskbar will remain uptop but will timeout when screen display shutsoff. Now if i launch CAMERA via DESIRE ROM(KING),ill get the notice about clicking trackball to resume camera but as soon as i click it,the message dissapears and the screen will go back to black screen again...and repeat. I SWEAR i have DONE MULTIPLE COMPLETE WIPES AND REFORMATS so im left to believe its THE HARDWARE itself! CAN ANYBODY PLEASE LEND ME A HAND IF the similar problemhas occured...On the Nandroid backups that ive restored from FULLY FUNCTIONING bkups,if i launch NEXUS TORCH it will say CANNOT ACCESS LED---this is THE ONLY info besides the "camera wake message"mentioned earlier that i can provide. Thanks in advance and pleas edont flame for NOT being in Q&A bc this is more of a DEV related restore question.
**oh and BTW--I DID TRY TO INSTALL the DESIRE R2 cam fix and does nothing. I tried it when all was working fine early in the week and it did nothing to help FLASH timing for me,so i NAN restored back to prior state and CAMERA continued working until about THURSDAY night--regardless--PHONE is in OUT OF BOX STATE--MINUS UNLOCKED and it STILL doesnt work!---PEACE and Happy Mothers Day to any Mothers out there in XDA world!

2. CAPS is to put highlights on key terms so idiots dont read over the fact that I DID TRY STOCK ROM---see how that helps?
3. Thanks for your informative responses---any suggestions from CAPTAIN OBVIOUS how to get service on a ROOTED device without being charged full price on the phone?? Ahhh--thought not!--So i tried here to see if anyone else had similar situation. AGAIN-thanks for your help as well SERIAL TOON--geez
If it's a hardware failure they won't charge you.
I think it will help if you go through Google Cust service first...they will end up redirecting you to HTC repair. Provide all truthful information on your issue, proving that you have done some legitimate trouble shooting and they will realize that it is a hardware issue, not the ROM flashing or bootloader unlocking that caused the problem. Someone else on the xda forums had a rooted phone with bluetooth problem and was able to send to HTC for repair for free...with a 4 day turnaround!
Good luck!

I didnt intend to sound rude,im just a little pissed right now..I Only ask bc i already had an issue in January days after receipt of phone. Issue was solved by sending me a new battery bc other was causing random shutdowns (ive since forwarded this info to another XDAmember that had exact same issue and they give him replacement phone at 1st but issue continued to occur--i told him about my story after he posted his problem, he contacted them this weekend and confirmed with me today that a new battery was on the way..see my public IM's for info). Anyway,when i was dealing with the battery issue they said they would definately NOT be able to fix under warranty bc the phone is rooted and unlocked. I can attest to the few people on here that said theyve been successful in such cases,but either way,IVE ALREADY STATED that i tried the DESIRE R2 camera kernal to see if that helps,so im not going to be dishonest and tell them i havent tried anything other than custom roms. Again..positive suggestions or similar experiences with warranty info would be appreciated....trollers looking for a funny post or to degrade people can eat one!

Thanks JOSH, ill look into it tommorrow--as i stated tho--i feel im being dishonest for trying the DESIRE R2 cam and saying that they should cover it---uninformed people will assume THAT couldve caused it,even though i used phone afterwards for a few days w no side effects
Hey Milton, like others have mentioned in here might want to try flash back to stock and seeing if the problem persists. If it does then your looking at a hardware problem and you should contact HTC/google for repair.
Yea...i was thinking that from get go--(hardware prob). Im on cheesy STOCK ROM right now and have been for cpl hrs...but its obvious its gotta be hardware...NOW comes the crappy part of trying to explain it to HTC when attempting to get an RMA!--Yee Haa!
MOD PLEASE CLOSE OR DELETE---THANKS!
Milton, among the items on the very small list of things folks around here want in return for helping you is that you lay off the caps. Doesn't highlight anything that you'd want to highlight.

That seriously hurts my eyes to look at. Try using proper punctuation and grammar. It's very simple and still gets your point across.
As for your phone. Call Google which will probably have you call HTC. People have gotten their rooted devices fixed for free if it's a genuine hardware problem and nothing caused from the rooting process.

I was thinking the exact same thing, don't know where he must have learned how to type. Then you criticize people from Philly, or whatever its called somewhere, for not knowing how to read. I would say mirror that advice and learn how to type.. type properly.
Torch will work until camera app is used then it wont work again until i reboot. After reboot, torch will work ONLY on regular/lower setting. MAX brightness will not work. Toggle back to LOW setting and torch will work again. Im going to try what DOUG suggested bc that is the only thing i havent tried yet...but the way torch and camera are acting up and requiring reboots keeps me willing to try software tricks first...WHAT ties the TORCH's HI setting to the camera app adn yet keeps the LOW setting seperate!??..ill try the TORCH dev real quick for some insight on how the two work hand in hand.Thanks for anyone using their time to help instead of criticize. Sorry for mocking ones ability to read but i was quite [email protected] time bc i lost a major function on my phone.My apologies to all

help

i restart my pphone but it stayed in the "windowns" screen instead of the home screen no matter how many times i restarted it, so what should i do now !!!!!!
I think it would be helpful if you provided addition information about your phone like what ROM you're using, etc.
um.... i cant even go on to the home screen so cant really tell.....
hard reset
Which windows screen? Titanium? Or the boot screen?
What were you doing when it happened? What happens when you pull the battery out for 10 minutes and put it back in?
We really need more details to help you.

MAGLDR - battery question

I've noticed that when I'll turn off phone and then put USB in, red LED is lighted for few seconds, suddenly phone starts, battery stops loading and MAGLDR is executed. It seems MAGLDR substitutes code for battery loading. Does it mean, that if I'll make battery totally empty I won't have a chance to load it without OS (which handles battery loading process)?
i thought they fixed it in magdlr .13? so you can drain your battery to 0% without problems...
AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
RTFM
/rant
Read the bit that says "New in 1.13"..... It's pretty simple.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10197474&postcount=1
On a side note, no, you can't kill the battery. Once power is connected, your phone uses that, it's just the light goes off while MAGLDR is booting.
Same here, when I turn off the phone and charge it, it turn on automatically. Help please!

It's suppose to do that... that's a new feature in version 1.13 so that there isn't the problem where you have to remove battery to get phone to boot like what happened with earlier magldrs. People complained about that, so cotulla fixed it the only way possible... so it will turn on automatically, and now people are complaining about that. He said in next version it will have setting to allow the uncontrolled charging while phone is off, but you might have to remove battery to get it to boot again. Also not sure if uncontrolled charging is bad for battery or not.
You have to understand... you're hacking your phone to run OS's that weren't meant for it... things are not going to act the same as a native phone. You should feel lucky you can do these things at all.
I have 2300mAh extended battery and with almost every android rom it is useless. When android boots up to the stage when you must enter sim pin than hd2 reboots and it is going into loop. I have discovered when I isolate middle pin on the battery everything is working fine, battery is charging and it can be used without problems.
Doesn't any body READ anymore???

So isolate the pin... or use a kernel compatible with extended battery

What??? People post explanations to be read???
I thought we were just losing our time trying to help. It seems many prefer to read the title, go to the last page and ask a question for which the answer is on the first post
For their defense, the search functionnality is too complexe. Isn't it possible to just clic on a button and receive answer to all our question directly in our mailbox. Or maybe a button we can clic and directly solve our issues.
I found one... it's the "add to basket" button for an Android phone on an online shop. Works great
this thread helps me a lot! thanks for good article!

Complex? are you having a laugh?
You type in your keywords and click tyeh search button, whats hard about that?
You also get a "similar" threads list whyen creating a topic prior to posting and 9/10 you can find your answer this way also.

Of course I was having a laugh
In French we call "ironie" (not sure at all about the translation).
I write stupid things to make the owner of the thread realize that the question has not to be asked.
For this question, you don't even have to use the search function (which is not complicate, I agree).
The answer is on the first page of MAGLDR thread!!! (know issue, not corrected in x.13 but a paliative solution has been applied... the phone start to prevent having to remove the battery).
Honnestly it's sad to see that you keep posting the same answers and it seems some people never take time to read. They just ask directly their questions.
Maybe I'm sometime difficult to understand as English is not my language.
So our answers don't help... the question neither. It just make a lot of useless thread with the same question again and again.
I can also add that when you post a thread, the forum give you the thread which could give you the answer!!!

[Q] Having a hard time removing WP7

hello all, first let me just say yeah im a noob and yeah i tried searching.
so like the rest of the world i hated win 6.5 more than anything. seriously. probably something like 1. hitler 2. win 6.5 3. snakes
finally i managed to install win 7, but however the battery is just way to short, some numbers wont be recognized, marketplace isnt open in my country, etc. frankly im ****ing tired of all of this. now i want to remove it and again try to install android on NAND. if not maybe just settle for win 6.5 i dont know.
EDIT
to clarify:
-basically ive searhed everywhere
-i have the offical rom and i want to install that
-i cant connect my phone to zune,
-so when i run the offical htc rom, it just says connect your phone
You need to either flash a stock ROM via sd card method or via bootloader (hold vol down key during power-on, then flash with normal exe from windows).
so, just to be clear,
you got a device with Win mobile on it which you seem to have a massive dislike for and wrongly make an assumption that everyone else doesnt like it, then in a hugely disrespectful manor you compare it to hitler, quite what you are thinking is anyones guess but it might be worth considering a change of manor is perhaps in need
Then attempted to install WP7 without fully reading everything.
Then try and install an original ROM without Fully reading everything
I think That about sums it up
So, in the intrest of sanity, go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074233
read it all, and if you have an issue reply in that thread
Couple of pointers to help your days on XDA dev out, if there is a thead open on an issue use it, dont make a new one because it makes it harder for people who actually search for things to find what they are loooking for and its a pain for people who try an help because we are forever repeating ourselves
Secondly, when you make a tread it gave you a list of threads already out here with a similar name, if you didnt see anything relivent its because your use of title is pretty poor, Its windows phone 7 or WP7, Noob isnt a word most of us use
Thirdly, if you can not use the XDA search then use google, (i find it much more accurate) i just searched google using this string
XDA DEV LEO WP7 FLASH ORIGINAL
and the third one down took me straight to that thread above
XDA DEV is pretty obvious, LEO is the listed device name thats on this site WP7 is the OS then FLASH ORIGINAL is the subject matter im searching for
Keep it short, like bullet points, not a long story
So, head over there an folk will be happy to help you out, including myself
I hope i didnt sound rude and off hand, im simply nudging you in the right direction
Neo84 You need to either flash a stock ROM via sd card method or via bootloader (hold vol down key during power-on, then flash with normal exe from windows).
ok, thanks for you reply. sorry to ask but what is a stock ROM? is that like an official ROM from HTC?
also tried to hold down the volume key, get the coloured screen, but then cant do anything. where would one find the "normal exe"? thanks for your willingness to help out someone not as experienced as yourself
and dazza, my good man i do appreciate the nugde, but do find it a bit harsh.
you got a device with Win mobile on it which you seem to have a massive dislike for and wrongly make an assumption that everyone else doesnt like it,
-everyone i spoke to agrees, including the guy who sold it to me for almost nothing (bought for 1100 US 6 months before) because he hated it like no other
then in a hugely disrespectful manor you compare it to hitler, quite what you are thinking is anyones guess but it might be worth considering a change of manor is perhaps in need
-well irony doenst work online my bad, haha seriously noone in ther right mind would compare the 2 and/or accuse someone of doing so
Then attempted to install WP7 without fully reading everything.
-i did, it works almost perfectly, reading on these forums ive seen plenty of ppl having issues, so yeah its close to perfect, except the battery drain (which still works for a full day so i can charge at night)
ive searched google, xda and god knows what. and after trying all, my good old hd2 still wont connect maybe in the end its not worth the time and effort, just leave WP7 on there (it is in fact pretty sweet) and buy an offical android next time! however i do feel i have the right to be a bit angry. winmo 6.5 isnt worthy of selling for a high price in 2010.
anyways, thanks for your help, i will check out those links and see where it takes me just remember that not everyone is as experienced as yourself, a friendly heads up works wonders sometimes
I appologise, it was not supposed to come across rude, harsh is perhaps an accurate way of putting it, remember that some of us take a lot of time out of our lives to go over these things, infact some have even added entries in to the Wiki for just such issues (check leo wiki section) and im sure you can imagin that repeating yourself over and over can be quite frustrating!
I completely agree that a "heads up" is always needed, which is why ive nudged (perhaps with a prod or two ) you in the right direction, those few tips can save you a lot of hassle in the future, the google one especially as i know only too well that the XDA search is crap
