New phone, need some help

Hi everyone. Great site keep it up.
I just bought a HTC S710 and I need a couple of pointers.
First of all I've got a problem which I hope you can solve for me. Whenever my phone is off and I try to turn it on, it reaches the startup screen where it says "windows mobile" and then it shuts down. The only way for my phone to reach the home page and not shut down is:
1. If the sim card is not in. (Phone boots up reaches the home page and everything is functional)
2. Or if it is plugged in the charger/USB cable, sim card/no sim card.
Another small issue I have is that sometimes it shuts down automatically, which is inconvenient.
I would appreciate if you could help me with this problem
hi, i dont know if this would be a fix or if you would be willing to do it but if you install a custom rom then it could fix the problem and make your phone way better to use aswell. I'm using fireburned's 6.5 rom and its great, would recommend it. good luck with fixing it!
Yeah I am wanting to install a cooked ROM, but I have a kind of problem. I'm running linux and I can't seem to find a program to install the ROMs through linux. Got any ideas
sorry i dont know, i dont really know much about this i just did it with my phone and hoped it would work, so im lucky i didnt brick it to be honest. was it the SDA unlock which didnt work or the uspl?
no no no. its the programs. They are written to work on Windows systems. I'm running Ubuntu and I can't find these programs for my OS
Use a Windows PC to do USPL, after that you can always flash from SD-Card.
I'll go by a friends house later on to use his computer to install the USPL.
This "glitch" though is really weird, I tried to see if my phone would start up if I had the hands free plugged in, and it did start up. . So as long as something is plugged into the USB the phone will start up with the sim in. If nothing is plugged in, it won't

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
use simple reset to windows defaults - sd is years from here

black/blank screen touch pro, please help D:

Hello, thankyou everyone who takes the time to read this and to help. My HTC Touch Pro, the screen is completely black, it turns on and I can recieve calls and I know the keyboard works, but I cant even tell who it is or what I'm typing since the screen is blacklight and won't show anything. It powers on and off and charges and i can hear the sounds so I think its just a problem with the screen.
I've tried MyMobiler and Pocket Controller, but both cant work for me because I first need to connect to Activesynce or Windows Mobile Device Center, but I can't even see the password I'm typing so I can't unlock the phone to view it on my computer (( so I can't get it to connect to activesync or WMDC.
I really wish it was'nt locked with a password because then everything would be easier I'm so upset by this DDD:
I can't hard reset either because I can't see the screen at all.
Should I try to open it up and replace the screen&digitizer myself? I really don't want to try spending extra money fooling around with the phone if I'm not sure it'll work.
What I'd really love to know, does anybody know how to view the phones screen on the computer without having to unlock the password first from the phone? If anyone can help me with that or find some other method than I'd realyREALLYReallyyyy appreciate that sooo much. I could just type the password from the computer or hard reset and everything.
Or if theres any other method of fixing this that would help too...
Also, I can't take it to Sprint store because its out of warranty/insurance, so
I'm just trying to repair it myself. I've heard of this happening to people before but have'nt ever seen it get fixed.
Again, THANKYOU to anyone thats reads or tries to help !
Have you tried "Hard-Resetting" using the 3 Key Combo? (Hardware Mode)
Or were you trying with the "Clear Data" option? (Software Mode)
I had this when I went snowboarding with my Touch Pro. Turns out slamming the slider shut quite hard fixed the problem.
Hope it helps.

[Q] Hero trackball/pc connection problems

Hai people,
Im new here and i got a problem with my HTC Hero. Ive got it rooted to FroydVillain through this site and it worked fine for quite a while. But since thursday my phone flipped.
My trackball keeps lighted on, whatever i do. My battery runs low in like 6 hours...normally i did a whole day with it.
When i plug the usb cable it doesnt connect to my computer, it only starts powering up the battery. If its connected with my usb cable and i remove the battery the trackball starts flickering instead off burning all the time.
I didnt know what was going on, so i tried to do a nand restore in the root menu. After that i still had problems with the trackball and it still doesnt connect to my pc. Then i tried a factory reset in the root menu, but the problems are still there.
It doesnt let me get into the mobile network settings either. It doesnt find my provider and cant change it, so at the moment my whole phone is useless
Im quite new with this whole rooting thing, so i might have messed it up now? I hope some people know a solution for this. Please dont throw to geeky stuff to me, because i might not understand it
My software settings are this according to the phone:
Firmwareversion: 2.1 update1
Smallbandversion: 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11
Kernel-version: 2.6.29-063c4d24 htc-kernel(at)and18-2 #1
Build number: 3.32.405.2 CL 191507 release-keys
Softwarenumber: 3.32.405.2
Browserversion: webkit 3.1
Any help is welcome! Thanks in advance
I have tried to fix it myself cause i didnt get any responds yet, but without succes. I got it to restart again in the original htc version, and get the setup menu where u can set your country, wifi connection etc...
It doesnt recognize my sim card though, and doesnt find a provider because of that. When its finished with the setup menu its at the 'normal' home screen. But as soon as it turns black as the screen saver i cant get the screen on again.
The trackball also still keeps burning.
I went to my local phone repair point, but they dont do androids :S its for nerds he said -_-
Im getting hopeless...plx could some1 tell me what to do. I want a whole reset off the phone...i dont care losing information on it. But because i cant connect it with my computer i have no idea how to flash a rom on it

[Q] Error Code: 80072EFD

I have HTC MOZART, NODO Build, unbranded in indonesia.
Now my question is, once every 2-3 weeks, I got his kind of error. Basically The internet connection is gone when this happens, and I cannot update anything, unless of course I connect to zune in my laptop and use usb for internet connection shared from the laptop.
The only way to fix this AFAIK is by restarting the device (or remove the battery, and put back in)... hold the on button until off and turn on again is suffice though....
I dont mind restarting the phone within that interval, it is just weird and I tried to google and looked it up everywhere, I have not got the right explanation. Restarting the phone WORKS every time btw.
Anybody knows what this error is?
UPDATE:
I see that many others experience this and still no answer
