hello everyone!
i am totally new to all this, just got my first smartphone (an "old" tmobile mdaIII). i palyed around with it a bit now, its really great! unfortuneatly i am running into several problems, eg. cannot connect to my wlan.
the thing is, i am a total noob with all this smartphones/handheld/pocketpc technics... so i figure, i will have to work my way thru. if you could help me a little, i would really be glad!
first of all, i would like to know if that phone could still have stored some kind of data on it? the battery was out for almost a year now, but maybe there are some files somewhere? how can i restore my phone to a totaly fresh status? is the hardwarereset the way to go?
of course i would like to update the software and stuff, i think the mda is still running windows 2003 and its rom is version GER 1.06 or something... (??)
do i have to get an USB2MDA cable for flashing roms and updating?
or can i do this via bluetooth or wifi?
if you have any other advice for a noob like me, i will gladly take it!
please dont be mad, if i have missed info on all this in the forums... i raed thru a lot now, but it is just getting darker and darker.....

HArd reset to restore your phone to fresh status.

[Q] I'm on my last nerve with this TP2! help!!

Hey guys, i haven't ever really posted on here other than when i first got my TP2 months ago. Since then i have had 9 replacements for various things, all of which have been hardware related. Things like constant freeze-ups, always telling me i have un-read messages when i don't...anywhere. and some others but those two are the main ones. So i am asking you guys what do i need to do to stop myself from body slamming this phone across my living room? Every single phone i get has the un-read message problem. And after about a month of use they all constantly freeze. I can't stand having to do literally 8+ battery pulls a day because the phone doesn't want to work anymore.
Any ideas? What ROM are you guys all running and what seems to be the most stable? I have never upgraded a ROM before so i have no idea what i am doing there as i have always been a MAC user. However, i do have access to a PC. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Another thing it does is when i get a call or text the phone will vibrate non stop until i turn it off and restart it. This also happens 2-3 time daily.

What version of TP2 -- e.g, T-Mo USA, Verizon, World-Wide/Euro -- do you have?

The things that you mention are not hardware problems but software. So they can be solved by flashing a new rom. I suggest you read the how to flash for noobs thread.
Try a valkyre rom and read the last pages of that thread to see if there are issues etc
A new ROM may very well help sort out your problems, but the excessive problems you have been having make one wonder if there is not some other issue. So before you go to flashing a new rom, it might be a good idea to do some troubleshooting first to try and narrow down the problem.
First, a few questions:
1)What UI are you using? (i.e., Touchflow 3d, Sense, SPB Mobile Shell, Titanium, Classic today?)
2) What programs are you installing?
3) Are you doing any registry edits? Or using custom programs that do registry edits for you? (Things like configuration tools that you installed)
While answering the questions may shed some light on why you are having problems, here is the first thing I would try that could help narrow down the issue:
1) Dissable any custom UIs (start -> settings -> today -> items tab -> select Windows default -> hit OK) then soft reset your phone. Use it for a day and see if any of the problems go away, then report back.
I've got some other ideas, but will hold out on those until looking at your responses to the others above... good luck.
Hey guys and thanks for the replies. I am on a Verizon TP2. Running the stock HTC Sense ROM that came on my last replacement. I do not have anything custom running on the phone and only have 2 apps on the phone itself (facebook and personal assistant). I have given up putting them on there since i have been replacing the phone so often. Problems are still happening.
Thoughts?
Have you tried yet dissabling sense and running for a day to see if there are any improvements? If that doesn't work, I would move on to a hard reset, then disable Sense, and see if it is better. If it was, I would re-enable sense and dissable the email and sms tabs and see....
Meanwhile, I would also be reading the newbie guide to flashing new roms... as it is really odd to be seeing these sorts of problems with nothing installed on the phone.
I am correct that you haven't installed the facebook and personal assistant programs since your last hard reset? I only ask because the product description for the personal assistant looks like it is somewhat invasive into your phone (i.e., it can track minute use and such) and could possibly be the culprit for some or even most of your issues...

ur previous statement says your a mac guy. what a re you doing with a windows phone? thats just a recipe for disaster.....
try flashing to an NRG rom. I personally have been using cookie energy for months and never had any problems. this may be a lil too complicated for a "mac" user tho.

[Q] Goodbye Excalibur... ):

Hi everybody, maybe anyone knows me, this is my first post anyway, I have been here for about 2 years, since I bought my HTC S621 "Excalibur". It has been 2 comfortable years with my best friend Excalibur...but It's time to say goodbye, because his battery don't work like before... It just lives 1 hour and then I have to connect it... so, i was looking for a new HTC cellphone, and I will buy a HTC Tattoo I'm so happy, but i have a few problems...
One of them is, my contacts, OMG! when I turned on my cellphone today and connected it to the PC, the traditional sound that appears when a USB is connected changed for other so strange o_o ... and never recognise it... I took a backup of my contacts with the Sim Manager that comes with ROM that I downloaded from here, so I want to know if there is anyway to restore my contacts to the outlook with that file *.dcb that the Sim Manager generates for me.
I really don't want to restore it one by one ToT so please, there should be a solution for this problem ToT... Thanks in advance...

Hi, great device the excalibur I still used it since I bought a new battery. I can't let go my precious excalibur. Regarding the contact backup, just do a quick search and you will find tutorials and many other things related. On that note, thread closed.

[Q] Problems after upgrading to Gingerbread

Hey guys
I am really desperate and would do whatever it takes to sort out those issues or at least some of them!
My DHD was 2.2 and then the upgrade for 2.3 was available, the official one, so I downloaded it and upgraded my phone. It's not rooted, nor do I know what that is. Yes, I'm really that clueless when it comes to android devices. So anyway, after the upgrade, I encountered a problem where the phone cannot differentiate between two similar numbers and would receive phone calls and messages from both contacts as if they were from one person. The phone keeps asking me if I want to link the two numbers and I always say no, yet this didn't solve it. I tried deleting them and saving them again, but no luck! so I asked around and someone suggested that I format the device and and delete the names and save them again.
I did that and it just caused me more problems!! -_- The battery does not last longer than 9 hours with regular use and 12 hours with no use at all (when I'm sleeping), before the format it lasted for more than 21 hours with regular use and more than an entire day when I'm not using it that much. another problem is that now, the wifi signal is much worse than it used to be! You will ask, are there any applications running in the background? no there aren't! I changed the settings to the way it used to be before formatting the device.
Guys, if anyone can help me, it's going to be you!! Please help me This is really driving me crazy!!
and one last thing, I have a lot of numbers that are exactly the same except for one digit difference! more than 10 and those numbers are for people that I contact a lot, so you can see how this is such a pain in the butt!
I would really appreciate it if someone would give me a suggestion or a solution!! Thank you so much in advance!!

Modded Note 4 can't send MMS. Please help

So I got my note 4 through Sprint about a week ago and immediately decided to mod it with xnote. I had a temporary number for a small period of time and everything was going fairly smoothly until I got my original number back. I can't necessarily say this is related but after that point I couldn't send mms anymore so I'm not certain what else the issue might be. Of course I've done quite a few hours of googling on the subject.
I've read to use a different messaging applications, to change between 3g/4g, ect. No luck with anything so I decided to flash my recovery image to the earliest point and still no luck. I've factory reset my phone and tried recovery again, and once again I've made no progress. I can receive mms/sms as well as use my mobile data for browsing just fine. For some reason sending is the issue.
I'm at the end of my rope and I'm feeling lost. Any help at all would be very much appreciated. I apologize in advance if I've posted in the wrong section, not been descriptive enough, poor grammar or punctuation.
I'll be checking back frequently to answer any questions or elaborate on anything.
Again any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
