does anyone else have a T-Mobile MDA Vario that always goes into screen saver mode (i.e. not turning off when on power but flicking to the password screen) is 'normal'. It is annoying at the best of times; when using SatNav it almost makes you want to throw the [email protected]*&dy thing out of the window!
SatNav (i.e. Tom Tom v5.21 with a TomTom BT reveiver) still works fine 'behind the scenes' as the voice commands still activate, but the map screen is covered by the standby/password screen.
This happened before I tried to update with the latest 2.26 ROM pack (Molski's fine effort that somehow did not change everything I thought it would!) and it is still happening. When on battery, it goes into this standby mode, when on power in the car (I have a bespoke car cradle) or in the study (again I have a bespoke cradle connected to my pc) it goes into standby. When it had the original 1.67 ROM that it shipped with a few months ago, it did not do this, when I upgraded to the 2.25 (and now 2.26) ROMs, it started to happen - and I'm stuck!
Any fixes or (clean) advice for this newbie would be most welcome.
Merry Christmas!

Response to... 'Screensaver problem'
I did not, repeat not, use the term 'dumb nuts' in my post! I am not sure who added that for me- perhaps a moderator or 'helpful' person who really knows his/her way around the site (unlike me).
I am a UK citizen and we tend not to use fairly obscure usa slang. also, there is nothing dumb about my 'nuts' thanks!
I was looking for help, understanding and a place to find like minded Wizard users. I had what I considered a legitimate question to ask and asked it in amanner that might strike a chord with others who have come across the same issue. From the responses I got, it seems like I came to the wrong place?
Take the rise out of me if you wish, but I spent a long time searching for the answer to this before I posted as I really wanted to know the answer - if there was one. To be 'ridiculed' in such a manner is neither helpful nor, if I may say so, shows the user(s) in a good light.
My mistake could have been pointed out in a more thoughtful and constructive manner; instead of a negative and insulting manner. But we all live and learn.

No one changed your original post.. if a mod changed your title or anything about your post you would see in very small letters at the bottom of your post "message edited by:" to serve an example i will edit my post here so that you can see the message at the bottom of the post i am talking about..
Shogun Mark, thanks for the infomation, I do not know how these words were added, but they were not by me! Oh well, off to trawl through the reams of info to find what I am looking for. Happy New Year!

i think i have a solution to your problem.. change the amount of time it takes for your password screen to come on... however i think the best solution would be to disable it entirely when you want to use your app, but i dont think there anything out there that will do this.
is there any way to bypass the setup I got a mda that needs a new touchscreen but I would like to see if I am able to use it without the touch features
Good lord, USE THE SEARCH! This has been answered at least 5 times now, in this very sub-forum!
i actually did for your info very fast (ill check again) if you didnt want to be a **** you could have posted a link next time dont answer keep your stupid comments to yourself
but yeah I did search as many of the things didn't work but I got it to works no thanks to you. Not everyone has to be a **** in here but I do thank every other person that usually talks **** that didn't.
hi guys, sorry for new thread but i need few things for my diamond. i wrote to support center but no answer, here is what i need
"hi guys, have diamond for a few days, searched and read lot of stuff here but still didnt find exactly what I wanted, maybe somen can help me with these things:
1. I would like to have battery life in % eg: 75%
2. Some simple organizer (dont like default calendar too much)
3. which processes I can kill with something to get more performance from my diamond? (for example: i kill opera9 - which I dont use and the process starts automatically)

Now I found these all on the very first page of the forum.
So I'm going to use a quote that is been used many times on the forum.
USE THE ****ING SEARCH TOOL.
it's there for your pleasure.
also, just browse around and who knows what nice things you may find.

Well, there is this thing about this forum.
You see, lots of people are building nice little programs for windows based phones, and there are many things that they didn't think of, because they didn't think that their keyboard was a really big problem.
They did find it a problem to have a keyboard to use with their fingers, because ot wouldn't leave enough space for their text mesaging.
battery life, it's seeded on the forum about that object.
and I did see a program that helped closing programs for you, but you might just wanna try start -> settings -> taskmanager -> buttons, maybe this already helps you
Everything on this forum is free and everyone is very willing to help you, but not if we see a question for the so maniest time.
What I propose to you, is if you are looking for something, but can't find it, make a request.
make perfectly clear what you are looking for and how this could benefit you.
maybe one of the programmers might see the benefit as well and wants to write someting for you.

Well the answers you have got show just what an unwelcoming and unfriendly place this is - certainly one of the worst forums for that I know. But then lots of useful info too, and that is the problem. Despite the "in crowd" people's suggestion the search tool is marginally more useful than wetting your finger and sticking it in the air, unless you are used to it!
Just a shame nobody has any Christmas spirit for newcomers aint it!
Hmm, I see what you mean.
Funny thing is, I didn't mean it to be this harsh, but as I read it back, I see how easily it is to provoke people.
So hereby I apologize to Hawk-Kthulu
I'll also will use the f word some less in the future.
everytime i try to install (volume down button + power button) it says "No image found". It really frustrates the living sh*t out of me! i completed everything untill the last step:
* Uncompress the .rar file to get the .image file.
* Rename the .image file to Kovsimg.nbh
* Copy the Kovsimg.nbh file to the top of the SD card.
* Remove the battery for 5 secs (guarantees the phone is turned off).
* Hold down the volume down button, then hold down the power button at the same time.
* After 2-3 secs you'll see the reg/green/blue stripes, then it will go to a light grey background saying "Loading".
after that it says No image found!
someone able to help me?
ive tried the search but i couldnt find anythink useful
Could you just keep all this waffle to one thread, its getting pretty ridiculous seeing yet another OMG I cant figure out which ROM, why ROM, how ROM, what ROM thread from your good self, why not just put all your questions in one thread... please...
I agree.
And please: go to the XPERIA ROM DEVELOPMENT subforum and read the sticky posts since this has been asked (and answered...) before !!
Ah the witty reply of the witless, thank your for your kindly worded message, those gentle words of wisdom surely touched my heart... but if you searched just a little and used some of that towering intellect so evident in your wonderful message you might have found what you seek... the reason no one replies to you or hand feeds you your answer is because with just a little bit of searching (and after being told several times to search) you would have found your answer... well done their chap... take care and good luck with your x1, when you brick it I guess that will be everyone elses fault for not doing your work for you... Watch out Gtrab, vitriol abounds...
You know, normally i wouldn't even respond to this but since you all got the urge to reply to EVERY thread or reply with the same smartass beloni, i've chosen to give my opinion.
You know how difficult it is for a first time WM or smartphone user to learn stuff about it? 90% of this forums users are experienced persons and all expect from others that they too are well experienced with WM/X1. EVEN THE BLOODY TUTORIALS HAVE TUTORIALS, and every thread is connected to 10 other threads about RUU, scripts and other stuff.
Not to mention the hundreds of abbreviations that one has to try and learn BY CHANCE (because somebody in the thread chooses to spell out the whole word instead of the abbreviation, god bless those persons).
So i've been trying to update to the new firmware aswel, but i have the same "no image file!" problem. Have you ever tried to search with the key words "no image file" or something like that? it filters out the word NO so all that remains in the search is image file, and guess what... every thread has atleast 10 matches with "image file".
So i've gone through all of the stickies and a couple of other threads and found some other users with the same problem. Now i face the next problem, 10 people ask about the same question and the answer is never clear.
I've found a couple of answers, and tried all of them but they wouldn't work, and now because of people like you (especially you Gtrab) i'm reticent to ask further questions because you people have the need to keep talking down to others. That's all i wanted to say.
So if you've read all the way up to here, i thank you for listening; you're a good person
Same thing happened with my microsd card. Have you tried a fresh format, with nothing else on the card? I ended up flashing the old fashion way, with RUU.

There's no other way... unless you post your PC brad, USB port specs, installed apps, kind of firewall and antivirus, your ROM, xperia model... oh so many vairable to list... This is TRIAL AND ERROR, there's no "easy way to the rainbow" Dorothy: This ain't no "home cooked biscuits", we're talking 'bout a expenive piece of hardware that can get bricked if you don't learn the appropriate basic knowledge first
Hence, It's IMPOSSIBLE to wite a fail-proof "UNIVERSAL TUTORIAL"
I posted a FULL scientific test about SD cards in the ROM DEVELOPMENT subforum, I had to test a dozen cards with a dozen formatting settings under Win XP and Vista until I finally found the right way to do it, and then I went and POSTED my results and SHARED with the community in the appropriate threads
Nobody told me what to do, I had to read and read and read again and still keep reading
This is mainly in response to Nyans post...
Firstly I dont often post sarcastic or admonishing posts but this chap really takes the cake by posting several threads with the same or similar issues that are very easily found through simple searching...
I do know how difficult it is for a first time user and whats more a relatively technologically illiterate user (thats me)... I have literally spent days searching for the information, trying out what I have found and then re-searching to solve problems or re do something I didnt get right or understand the first time... I am probably in the bottom 2% of the 10% that you claim is the non expert here (although IMHO I would say the percentage of experts is much lower)...
As for the search process it can be a pain, but if you use the google search and use terms like x1 or xperia on the end of what it is you look for it often leads you to the right place...
If all the answers you have found and tried do not work then try pming someone who seems like they know what they are about... I have done that on several occasions and they have all replied with useful and helpful answers usually pointing me in the right direction...
I also feel you are being harsh re your comment about "talking down to people"... too often people jump this board and ask without first reading, even on threads where the answer is a few posts above theirs... so more often than not I feel the odd "RTFM" is warranted... if like me you are technically challenged then my advice is read a bit, then read some more, then play with your phone, read some more and then read again to figure out what it is you read...
Finally re my post above that comments on the witty reply of the witless... I posted that after I had a very abusive email from the OP of this thread... so I felt that the reply was warranted there also... I hope you work out all the foibles of this phone, and good luck working out all the info, it can be daunting I know but it is worth it in the end...
hello, I don't know weather I can ask this things here or not, but .. can ayone answer me , why is it actually not possible to install android in system partation wiping full windows. Developers have done a lots of things, unlocking/editing spl's , so is it never possible to do this? if not, why not? and if it is possible , are developers working in this??
I dont even know how to respond...... Search hd2 Nand android!!
Vijaysapkota, you really need to search around before posting a question like that, particularly if you have so much public info about yourself in your signature.....

On XDA here, is a genius called "SEARCH" , it knows more than 99% of us, Probably try using it next time before opening a thread.
Why??
Dude camon thats what we've been waiting for along time. There are dosen of threaths about that ando u come here and ask that question? Work a little bit and do a search about NAND on HD2 and u see where we'r at.
Why oh why didn't i take the blue pill...
yes there is a way , to bad people on here like to use word search instead of not responding at all , its better just to leave on your sd card being the more apps you install it will limit you youll run out of space .
Guys don't be angry, as you see.. I'm on htc hero currently and planning to buy hd2, and I went just simply over the forum and didn't find it...
can anyone just give a link for the perfect post, please?
and, is anybody porting windows mobile 7??
Guys,sometimes all it takes and requires is a simple "NO or YES" answer and perhaps a few links that might guide the person.
I know we should search through the forum,but trust me,sometimes you can't figure out what exactly to search for.Just saying!

You're right. In the short run, just answering the question is an easy enough thing to do. In the long run, though, you'll end up doing all of vijaysapkota's searching for him in the future as well.
When it comes to searching, we all have the same tools here. Everybody needs to learn to use them. Taking the lazy way out and expecting others to do your work for you is just rude.
I'd also like to add that there's a perfectly fine HD2 Linux/Android Q&A Thread in this very forum, containing the answer to this and many other questions.
