[Q] HTC Mozart From Telstra stuck in a Demo mode??

Hi,
I've receieved a HTC Mozart as an evaluation device from Telstra for my company, but when I boot it up it does not seem to go through the normal setup process.
It boots and when it is pre-populated with some data such as contacts, text messages, emails, calander entries, etc. I have hard reset the device and it comes back to the same place after it goes through the loading process, at no stage am i prompted to enter my windows live ID or anything like that and there is already an example account present.
Is this some sort of demonstration mode the phone is set in???
Thanks,
Ryan

i would suggest contacting telstra? maybe they sent you a demo model by mistake? though to be honest if this was that case that would be one of the most funniest things they could do to a customer. it was just halloween? didn't you give them a treat?

We all know Sol took all the treats with him when he left LOL

Everytime i unlock the phone it get a text message that tells me welcome to windows phone 7 and the screen saver is a demo that says 'touch to begin' and I am unable to use my windows live login as there is an account called [email protected] that cannot be deleted and cannot be changed.

Try flashing the std ruu package from the mozart forum? Might have a demo rom on it.

Are you able to hard reset it?
If not then contact Telstra and they should replace it.

How do I install the generic RUU on the mozart? I have been a blackberry user previously.

Mate, dont bother, take it back to telstra.

It Would seem not all people actually read the questions in these forums very well - having acquired one of these STORE DEMO ROM Mozarts as well I know exactly what you are saying - Mate - Check my post Under the Telstra ROM in the ROM section of Mozart Development Forum. Should be around post 3.
This is how I reflashed/unlocked from store demo mode and now have a fully functioning HTC Mozart.
Should help you out.

I believe i purchased a store demo HTC Surround, as it does exactly what you describe your mozart doing. I hope soon there will be a way to flash the rom because my battery dies from all the bogus updates and the screensaver or splash screen. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, anyone here please plz plz plz help us out with this annoying thing ever. ....
GREAT GREATLY Appreciate ... it makes me piss off !!!

It's amazing how many of these demo phones make it out in the real world.

Through work aquired a Mozart with Telstra Demo(Store) Rom. Very furstrating as it wouldnt hold settings and kept playing that damn video.....
Downloaded this rom (following the links from here and trying a few download mirrors until I found one that worked)
Turned off Phone
Held Volume Down Key while Pressing Power Button (This turns the phone on and launched Bootloader)
Connected to PC Waited about 5 minutes while Windows auto detected the drivers and installed what it needed
Right Mouse clicked on the downloaded Rom and selected "Run as Administrator"
Followed the prompts.
****NOTE**** When it got to 10% the phone rebooted - LET IT!!!!! DO NOT TOUCH IT DO NOT DISCONNECT IT - Just wait -The computer will redetect and about 10 Min later VIOLA - All sorted nice and clean WP7 HTC Mozart (with a with Telstra One Hub - which aint that bad) - Whacked the 3 Sim card in - Downloaded Connection Setup Wizard from market place and a few minutes later was sending and receiving MMS etc

[Q] New Update Available 7/26/2011

Today i woke up and noticed my HD7 was telling me that there is an update available. Anyone have any idea what update this is? I'm currently on OS Version: 7.0.7392. Zune tells me "Available Update: HTC Update for Windows Phone".

My HDy just gave me the notification. Ran to XDA to see if there was any information on this update. I am also running OS 7.0.7392.0

It's an HTC update, not sure what it addresses exactly. Took about twenty minutes start to finish and the only thing I've noticed so far is that message notifications aren't consistently showing up on the top of the screen. Sometimes, but not always.

Based on the news article on this update from pocketnow.com, it looks like the new update will:
- upgrade your firmware, radio, and bootloader versions.
- HTC Hidden WiFi app now works properly.
- camera fix (pinkish hue is now gone)
- GPS works better
Probably worth upgrading to. Too bad i'm on Mango.

I will hold of on this update for a while since my phone is Chevron unlocked so that i can use Navigon 3 that was opened up to us NA members by a great member here Kounadisk. If anyone uses this update and was Chevron unlocked can, you please post your results on if you are still unlocked or not? TIA...

Is this update US only? I have dev unlocked / unbranded HD7, and Zune shows nothing

Use "V1.6 Working App to Backup Windows Phone 7 via ZUNE ANY TIME" & make a back-up. Than go to C:\Users\"UserID"\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\"DeviceID(Something like 7c335bc8...)" & copy it to a safe place. Than do the update. At least than you'll have a back-up just in case. I am officially dev unlocked & it remained so. All my registry hacks (Max Apps,Banding Bug Fix, Some Volume Registry Edits, Custom Accent Colors, etc.) seem to be okay too. HTC most likely just updated the camera drivers & a few other things. It didn't take long to download, so the update isn't that big. Wish they'd fix the volume issue on the HD7.

From what I read, this is a T-Mobile USA update. Don't know if it's only USA though.
Another side note, it seems as though my screen's color is better after the update (I may just be seeing things).

[Q] Internet Explorer problem

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with Internet Explorer on my HD7
Since yesterday, Internet Explorer refuses to open from the start screen or Apps list. Clicking on web links in emails does not work, clicking on pinned web pages does not work. Live tiles, Emails, RSS feeds, texts, Phone calls etc. work as expected. I have downloaded several third party browsers which work as expected.
I have checked using 3G and Wifi connections, and soft reset multiple times to no avail
I have searched and have not seen anyone else reporting this problem which leads me to suspect it's a device specific software problem. I was following my normal morning routine yesterday, reading the emails with new and updated posts from XDA when it suddenly stopped opening the links in the emails. I tried opening up Internet Explorer and this too failed. The animation transition starts to take place when pushing the I.E. tile, and then it comes back to the start screen.
I am running 7720 and have not played around with the phone or changed anything to cause this problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts before I go ahead and press the "Reset your phone" button ??
Thanks in advance,
Garrickus

Work around
Hi,
Got the same problem with no available solution till now.
I just have a workaround for you, disable in settings the "open links in new tab" and you should be able to use IE9 again afterwards.
Tabs will not work though.
I even read somewhere that hard reseting device will not solve the problem !!??
Do it or not and tell me if you find something.

Thomas

I can confirm your solution does indeed work as you describe, and yes, tabs are now broken
I'm curious as to your firmware version and operator, as there may be a link ?
You say you read "somewhere" that hard resetting the phone doesn't fix the problem , (I haven't as yet done so myself, as I'm currently compiling word docs of Internet Explorer favourites etc. and uploading them to Skydrive so I can restore them later ) which implies someone else has also encountered this problem ?
If a hard reset doesn't work for me (I'm waiting on the weekend to do this as it'll probably take hours ) then I'm seriously thinking of upgrading the sdhc card to a 32gb one and flashing a custom rom
I'll keep you updated.
And once again, thank you for taking the time to reply , with well over a hundred views, I was beginning to think I was invisible
Garrickus

i would flash a custom rom (you have the requirements), its easy to do (just search for it) and the advantages of it are great. you would never want to go back to an official rom again.

I haven't heard of this problem before, and don't have a direct fix - I'd need to examine your phones in some detail to do so.
However, if you have a full-unlocked phone, or you have WP7 Root Tools, I'm releasing an app that can configure your phone to use a third-party app as the default beowser (on my phone, I'm currently using IE+, for example). There are some caveats - not all browsers will be supported, and not all of IE's features work on third-party browsers - but it should work to let you open links sent in emails or SMS or apps. They have tabs too (in fact, IE+ has better tab management than IE9; one reason I use it).

Glad to see it partially solved your problem ;-)
My device is a Samsung Omnia 7 with latest firmware and mango installed (do not have the disapearing keyboard fix).
I suspect either windowbreak interop unlock method or windows phone manager to be the culprit with our tabs problem. Are you interop unlocked ? Have you installed Windows Phone Manager ? Have you sideloaded any app ?

Funnily enough, I hadn't heard of this problem either, before it manifested itself on my phone so it can't be widespread.
I'd love to allow you (you Windows Phone Guru ) access to my phone, if it would help me and the community, but, it's my main device and your too far away to visit
I have a stock phone so I doubt there is any kind of dump or something I can do to provide more clarification on the problem, but it's very real and very annoying
I had a quick search for "IE+" in the marketplace, but didn't see it. Could you provide a link please ? Or did you sideload it ?
If the hard reset doesn't work, my carrier has said they will swop it out for a refurbished unit, so I have a couple of options.
If I get my act together by the weekend, I might upload a video of the problem to YouTube for information purposes.
Also, my phone has been exhibiting some strangeness for a while now. Occasionally freezing up, then unfreezing itself. Internet Explorer freezing when the loading bar reaches 4/5's distance, and taking ages to finish loading. Some tiles (third party only) losing their images but not the text, or backing out of an app to the Start screen resulting in all the tiles being empty for a few seconds before filling in. Start screen flashing green and crackly looking. None of them particularly bothered me too much till now.
I'll keep you all posted.

Yes, thank you. I was beginning to go mad with it lol.
I too am running Mango without the disappearing keyboard fix, but I am not windows broken, iterop or any other kind of unlock, or used any kind of programs other than Zune, so we don't have that in common I'm afraid.
Thanks anyway

IE+ is being published to the Marketplace this week, I think. There's a pre-release build of it available on this forum, but I'm not sure if that version supports the required behavior for be-the-default-browser support. I'm looking at other apps too (requires decompiling them, unless I can get a chance to talk to the developer, but that's usually easy).
However, if your phone isn't interop-unlocked, you wouldn't be able to use the switcher anyhow, though. It requires TCB (or "root") permissions, because it needs to write to the registry. It's possible to interop-unlock your phone (I have an HD7 myself), but you'd need to downgrade the firmware first.
The list of bugs you're experienced sounds like it *might* actually be some kind of defective hardware. The usual problem is the internal microSD card that is used for storage on the phone being defective or coming loose. There are a few other possibilities too, though. Unfortunately, trying to fix them yourself is likely to void your warranty, with no guarantee of success.

Video uploaded to Youtube
Hi all,
So my problem persists, and I am due to hard reset the phone to see if that solves the issue in the next couple of days. Before I do so however, I have uploaded a video showing the problem to Youtube for information purposes.
Lets see if anyone else is having the same problem, and if a solution exists.
Here's the link to the video
http://youtu.be/L0YIkCybvhg
If the hard reset doesn't work, my carrier have said they will swop the unit for a refurbished one. Does anyone have any experiences of this ? Are they like new ? Or beaten up a bit ?

More people reporting the problem on Microsoft answers forum
Hi everyone,
I checked the Microsoft answers forum and it seems Others are reporting the issue as well
I counted at least half a dozen posts with the same problem as myself here
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...one&CurrentScope.Filter=&askingquestion=false
So far, the only advice offered is to hard reset the phone, with some users reporting this solved their issue. One user reported that although it solved their issue, now their phone tile doesn't work

After hard reset
Hey everyone,
So I hard reset my phone on Thursday
and as a result, Internet Explorer now works again as it should
I decided not to restore a backup, and set up the phone manually (which took about 3 hours ).
A couple of things I've noticed since -
Battery life seems massively improved , now reporting over a days use on a full battery. I'll keep an eye on this as before I was only getting about 14 hours.
Another thing I've noticed is the keyboard. Now when I type, it highlights the word it thinks I want to use in bold, and it definitely didn't do that before
I'll keep you all posted on how things go over the next couple of weeks, if any of the problems I reported show up again, but, fingers crossed, it's all good for now, and loving my phone again.
Thanks for all your input.
Garrickus

Have a question... Does Hard resetting the device keep the os updates ?? (Mango, etc..) Or do you have to apply them again afterwards ?

Too bad. I have this problem too. Last night after connect to public wi-fi and enter username & password in automatic IE pop-up.
You can't open IE if your setting of "Open links from other apps in" is "A new tab". If change this settings to "The current tab" you can open multi-IE for multi-tab but can't use normal tab.
I think I will HR my device too.

No, interop unlocked will go away.

I am facing similar issue. I guess I know when it started (but not sure about it)
I had opened Google Search app. I was searching some images. In results displayed, I clicked 1 imgage. It opened Internet Explorer. When I tried to open "Tab" from Menu to close tab and exit IE, IE was simply not getting close and it was opening continously. I finally pressed Power button to switch off phone. After phone was restarted, I observed that while internet explorer is open and I open the tabs, it shows absolutely nothing, it doesn't show the tab for the page that is currently open or none of the other tabs that are open. Rather it shows Blank page with symbol to add new tab. But even new tab is not getting added. I tried several reboot on phone but somehow "Tab" thing is broken. I am also having feeling that Internet Explorer running in the backround that will not close even after a restart.
I dont want to Hard Rest Phone, but I think its only Solution for now. Hope MS fix this issue in WP7.8.

I have tried the Usb Video Option a few times nothing change, but the phone video
gets slower and a bit laggy,
theres no reaction from Phone also no Reaction from PC,
I think it has something to do with the first Charge problem.

I added this one to the original post,,
I do personally not care as long as it charges

PC Sync
Alright... Tried the DFRouter all night from Zune mode to Router and back. Tried the USB Mode, HTC Sync, etc and nothing worked to sync. I have installed WMDC6.1 and Windows Phone Manager with no success, ZUNE still wont detect. (I am on Windows8).
Tried to turn on and off the device center app included and still cannot get to sync.
I like sync because I take ALOT of pictures and the AUTO upload to skydrive does not upload the FULL RES pictures. Also have alot of music that I like to keep going back and forth with... But I can live without this for a while. I will try BT Sync when I get home tonight as it did not occur to me while testing yesterday.
_______________________________
On another note, for those that dont want the Chinese apps on the phone, just install the english ones and it will overwrite them (DFT-Bluetooth and the WMDC app that are both in the Settings) once you have installed them they will show up on your regular list, you can then OPT to delete them or use them.

Well, with this ROM I am not able to charge my phone at all. Now I am stuck at an automatic shutdown loop. Am I able to charge my phone with the bootloader opened?
Edit: have to charge the battery via my old touch diamond 2, they're nearly identical in size. So I will be able to flash back to my previous ROM.

I was going to report on this too... I was giving it the benefit of the doubt and waiting for the "FULL CHARGE" as it is reported with these ROMs that your first full charge wont report. But now I have given it a fully charged battery (From a Evo Shift, same like the diamond2 ) and put it to charge, it still does not charge the phone.
Could this also be the reason our Sync is affected?

no syncing and charging
I tried the ROM version for Gold, but since there's no battery charging, no ZUNE syncing and since I couldn't use cab sender to upload language cabs, I'm installing previous custom ROM and backup :fingers-crossed:.
Moreover, I couldn't see anything in the HTC Hub live tile, only the location name...
Honestly, I didn't try to use directly WP7EasyBackup to restore or WPV App Data Backup to get back my apps...

I have the feeling, that the entire USB port is disabled in some way. Maybe a faulty or wrong driver.

Nokia 5.3 doesn't vibrate

Hi, I can't find any thread about this topic, I hope I didn't miss anything.
The problem:
In October, I've bought Nokia 5.3 with Android 10 in Czech Republic (Europe, probably German or UK distribution) and I found out it doesn't vibrate. I tried an app that's dedicated to vibrating but it doesn't do anything and switching to vibrate-only mode using the menu invoked by volume keys switches the phone basically to a full DND mode.
I searched the Internet and found a few reports of other users of Android 10 phones with a similar problem. (None of them, however, with a Nokia phone, at least not concretely Nokia 5.3). I hence assume it's not a defect of my phone but rather a software bug in Android. I'm of course rather reluctant to test this by returning the phone and getting a new one thru warranty because I did put some time into setting this one up. I reached out to the Nokia support but they were unable to help me further than advising me to check a few settings (which were OK) and told me I probably need to wait for an OS update.
The question:
Do you have Nokia 5.3 and do you or do you not have the same problem?
Thank you very much for your experience and suggestions.

Hi,
I have Nokia 5.3, bought it recently. However I hate vibrations so that was the first thing I disabled in the settings. It was vibrating like hell . Check your phone settings, there is an option to turn it on and off.
Cheers!

Hi toppicks,
thanks for confirming that it's obviously not a software issue. I checked all the settings I could, none of them change anything.

Finally, I found time to do the factory reset, it didn't help. I tried with the SIM card and also without it, the phone still doesn't vibrate. I'll go return it to the vendor on Monday, hopefully, I'll get it resolved that way.
