hi!

When I plugged my TyTN into PC via USB or to A/C charger I found that LCD is not displaying properly the today screen, it was getting white and some colour lines showed for few seconds. It was randomly changing and showing and hiding... and caused that I can't work with device.


What was diagnosed by me that when I move the USB jack fitted in port to left or right it helped to come back to OK status.

So I used (in anger) my strenght and fixed my machine for longer time (don't ask how ;) but i'm curious if usb port located in TyTN can be used out???

someone any experience??

:confused:

As with any device, the hermes will get to the end of its life. And usb ports can break quite easly if your not carefull or unlucky.

Thats why I never use the wired headphones, dont want to kill my port.

Glad to see you got yours working again though! (your lucky you didnt break it fully, by using to much strength ;) )

i hope it will work as long as possible :o

you know i'm using wired headset quite often and quite often plug in usb a/c in my car so maybe that why it is sending me singnals that he have enough

maybe when this brick will stop working it will be good argument for my wife to purchase new WM device (Diamond maybe) :D

You can always buy a new usb port, but make sure you have a good soldering iron, and very good eyes. The 5 pins on the base of the port are extremely small and close together. If you don't have a magnifying glass, it could be a nightmare.

If that's the case, I'd just snap that port off now. :)

Kaiser is a mess I think, with all the non-accelerated video etc problems.
I'm eyeballing with Sony's XPERIA but only when it becomes $300-400 and only if no Android will match it by then - because XPeria's initial $1k price won't go down in less than 6-8 months and most like by then (practically next Spring) the second wave of Android-based phones will be arriving, beating XPERIA in everything at less than half the price...

The Omni software driver and HTC class action drivers do the job fine :) I dont even use any D3D stuff.

The extra ram and the faster cpu sound good to me.
