[Touch HD General] myblubu:
I just set a 4 digit password on my HTC HD T8282 a few days ago. Its worked fine for several days - when I turn it on and enter the 4 digit code, everything is fine. But a couple days ago I turned it on and the password screen shows the number pad, but when I touch the numbers, nothing happens (usually I would see an * for each digit I press), but nothing happens when I touch the digits now, however I can press the "Menu" button on the bottom right of the screen and get a selection of Reset Password or Cancel - but the only option that can be selected is cancel (the 'Reset Password' option is greyed out).

Any idea how I fix this, I can't use may phone now!

I'm trying to avoid doing a hard reset if I can.

Any suggestions???
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
it might be an issue with your touch screen calibration, have you tried connecting and controlling the device using a windows pc and mymobiler?
[Touch HD General] myblubu:
Interesting! I did notice that the screen calibration was off one day and recalibrated it and everything seemed fine after that. But I'll definitely give this a try! I'll let you know what happend too.

Thanks for the quick response!
[Touch HD General] myblubu:
I downloaded mymobiler v1.25 and intalled it. My PC is running Windows XP and I use ActiveSync v4.5. ActiveSync is able to connect to my pnone when its connected to my PC but I can't get mymobiler to connect to it.

I see the mymobiler icon in the system tray but it gives a "not connected" message if I place the mouse cursor over the icon. Also, if I click the icon and get the menu, even if I click "Connect" nothing seems to happen.

Also, the mymobiler screen doesn't show when I select "Open Mobiler".

Anything I'm doing wrong?
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
that reminds me of the question i should have asked in the first place:

did you set the password with the windows mobile built-in security feature or using a 3rd party software?

background: the windows mobile's own security is meant to prevent proper activesync connections, because, without entering the password, you are not supposed to be able to sync data or access the phone, in that case, activesync should ask you for your 4 digit password, before the connection is really established.

also, if i remember correctly from my blueangel (which had a password bug with cooked roms), a hard reset wouldn't even be enough to unlock the phone again, because potential thieves could do that as well and had a brand new phone on their hands. so only flashing the device with another rom did the trick.

assuming that, as a reasonable windows mobile user, you create regular pim backups, either using pimbackup, MS myphone or outlook sync, you might be better off, just flashing the rom again, performing a hard reset and start over. after all, as of now, your phone is only a useless brick and being able to use such a great device again should be worth more than a few sms or the 90-120 minutes it takes you to flash the device and set it up again and install your apps.
[Touch HD General] myblubu:
Its the Window's built in security feature.

It seems as the activeSync works to update my Microsoft Outlook with information from my phone while connected to my PC. But Mymobiler doesn't connect to the phone.

I wouldn't even know where to start for flashing the rom - never done that, looks like I'm going to have to do some reading on the forum...
[Touch HD General] myblubu:
UPDATE: I did a hard reset on my phone and now after booting, it shows a screen alignment screen and I keep pressing on the screen where the marker is, each time the marker moves to the next location (center then each corner of the screen). After I finish with each location, the process starts all over again - it just keeps doing this.

Any idea what is wrong now???
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
if it just keeps starting over, the points you pressed were too far off the regular grid, so the device "doesn't believe it". you should have a look at your screen, whether somewhere there might be a tiny peace of dirt or an air bubble under the screenprotector or something like that. since the blackstone lacks multitouch, when it detects 2 display touches, the relative center of the 2 points pressed is the touch point it recognizes. say, you have dirt pressing your display in the top left, you are aligning the screen at the bottom right, it will determine the relative middle of the display as touched point.

so what i'm trying to say is:

either your screen has some hidden peace of dirt somewhere, which would mean, clean it thoroughly, OR your display is starting to fail due to a hardware defect, caused probably by the device's age and everyday wear and tear. in that case, have a look at ebay for the digitizer+lcd combo, download the blackstone service manual and exchange the display. also, in case you need to buy spare parts, be advised that the price for a used blackstone, depending on your location, might only be as high as 80-180$ (which makes some spare parts heavily overpriced in comparison to the price of the device itself).
[Touch HD General] myblubu:
Thanks again Chef Tony! I'll give that a try.
[Touch HD General] myblubu:
I was just looking at ebay for a digitizer+LCD combo and saw this but also saw a digitizer only which was much cheaper. Since my LCD screen appears to be fine (image on the screen visible), do I need the Combo, or will the digitizer only work (or is it much easier to install the combo, etc?) Since I've never done this, just wondering...
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
i believe there are a few other threads on this forum dealing with both the installation of the digitizer only and the combo. the problem appears to be that the lcd and the digitizer are glued together, which makes it very hard to separate your original unit and there is a risk of harming your lcd in the process, which makes the repair more expensive. personally i'd go for the combo for more convenience.
[Touch HD General] myblubu:
Thanks - that make sense. I'll look at getting a combo. I found the post with pics about replacing it on the forum and hopefully that does it for me. Thanks so much for all of your help!
[Touch HD General] myblubu:
Thanks Chef_Tony! Got the combo unit and installed it today - phone is back up and running! Thanks for all of your help!

I found a good video on disassembly and reassembly on the web, just in case anyone else needs it, here's the location:

[Windows Mobile Themes] Mr.D - S:
Hey there, here is my touch wiz theme for iPhone today, if you like it i'll upload files. Because i'm running german rom i have to change first all paths to the pictures :o.

It will work as today plugin or as standalone. Tested only on WVGA.

Here are the screens

So far I assigned home to open startmenu, of course you can change every icon.

How to install

1. Install iphone Today (Disable it as today plugin) Download

2.Download attached *.zip

3. Copy icons.xml and settings.xml to iPhone today folder in Program Files

4.Copy Clockopia.tff and LSDroidSans.ttf to Fonts in the Windows Directory

5.Copy GS icons folder, sgs2icons folder and extra icons folder to iPhonetoday/icons

6.Place walls folder in iPhonetoday/backgrounds

7. Open iphonetoday and customize it like you want it to be

If you dont see the icons but the names either you put them in the wrong directory or its my fault :D Then you have to do it manually .

Nice icons for additional stuff you can get here: Faenza Icons

Have fun ;)

Tip: If you want to get rid of the statusbar in today plugin use nueNobar

If you have nice backgrounds or something else to share, do it ! :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] RxenDrav:
wow.. looks great.. I have touch pro 2. I want to test it. When you want to upload the files?:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mr.D - S:
tomorrow i will upload them
[Windows Mobile Themes] RxenDrav:
ok.. cant wait to try.. Im still using CHT2 for my home screen
[Windows Mobile Themes] bel57:
nice *o*

woow can't wait

hope it will work in WQVGA for my Omnia :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mr.D - S:
it will work when you resize background and make the icons in settings smaller
[Windows Mobile Themes] namangls:
How have you managed to display such a large clock in iphone today.

Is this some other app /
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mr.D - S:
No :D

you have to go to iPt today -> options and then to special icons -> choose clock

Then you can enter values for margins, i just entered negative valuse e.g: -200

then you can make your chars bigger :eek:
[Windows Mobile Themes] screwdriv:
can those dot be placed at top?
[Windows Mobile Themes] screwdriv:
finally a theme that i want :)

after a few days with iphone today and the icon set included here.. i manage to make what i want :)

this our from gtx theme for iphone..
[Windows Mobile Themes] vishnu vijay:
Can we also add an analogue clock?

How to change the time format to 12 hours?

This looks good & its faster! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Cassius09:
Basing on this pretty good theme for Iphone Today and using galaxy nexus icons + wallpapers I made something like this. It would be really great if there will be possibility to change digital clock for analog one ??
[Windows Mobile Themes] an1000:
Wow So cool

I love it Thanks You :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] MichaelAmrs:
This is great!I am going to try these steps! This really looks good & its faster!
[Windows Mobile Themes] elvi92:
does it work on omnia i900??
[Windows Mobile Themes] Cassius09:
Yep it does. It's really nice, quick and pretty easy to customize.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vladimirus:
How do you change the clock format? It's in the 24hr format and I prefer the 12hr format with the am/pm. Thanks. Other than that, it's quite nice!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Vladimirus:
Vishnu, to change clock to 12 hour format, you need to edit the "settings.xml" file. On your computer, open settings.xml with Notepad; look for this line:

<Clock facename="Clockopia" color="#E6E6E6" width="75" height="100" weight="1000" left="-300" top="0" right="-300" bottom="0" ShowAMPM="0" format12="0" />"

Here you want to change the format12="0" to read format12="1"

Now, save the file. On your phone, exit out of iphonetoday then copy the newly edited file to your phone's iphonetoday folder, overwriting the one that is there. Restart iphonetoday and you should have clock in 12 hour format. Now, if you also want the am/pm signs, do the same thing...change "0" to "1". BUT, if you do that, you will need to either alter your clock size as it will be off the screen or move it over. That, I'm not sure how to do. I recommend skipping the am/pm unless you really need it for some reason. Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G General] avengersdad:
Good morning everyone. I have a delima and would like everyones opinion. I switched from ATT (iPhone) to Sprint Nexus S 4g last weekend. To be honest i am not happy with the Nexus. I know the beauty of this phone is supposed to be the ability to customize and the fact that the phone has no "bloatware" loaded but i am just not thrilled with the phone.

My question is this, would it be a mistake for me to take this phone back and get the Evo Evo 4g.

Thanks in advance for everyones opinion.
[EVO 4G General] q711179:
returning the nexus

Welcome to Sprint!

I have owned an Evo since it first came out and have loved it. Currently running cyanogenmod.

You are so close to the release date of the Evo 3D you might want to consider that, otherwise I don't think you will be disappointed in the Evo 4G.

Good luck.
[EVO 4G General] captblaze:
As long as you are inside of the 30 return policy you should have no problem trading nexus s for evo.
[EVO 4G General] vbetts:
Honestly as much as I like my Evo, you won't get as good performance as you would with your Nexus S.
[EVO 4G General] avengersdad:
I realize the 3D is due out soon. My only choice is to hope it is realeased before my 30 days are up and I can trade my phone in. I would be able to trade either the Nexus or the Evo so i will keep my fingers crossed.
[EVO 4G General] vbetts:
How many days do you have left?
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Hardware wise the EVO's GPU is absolutely garbage. Its about 4-5x slower than the Nexus S. The NS has the better quality display and 4G behavior is much better too. Otherwise you won't notice much difference.

Software wise the EVO 4G is a dead end compared to the NS. There's pretty much no way HTC is going to update the EVO to ice cream. Not only is the NS going to have it on day one but it'll be fully working too. The EVO will probably get a half working or very buggy port at some point. Plus as always the NS will be first in line for a ton of new Android things. Goggle wallet being a good example.

Bottom line: hardware wise the NS is a marginally better phone with the big advantage of having a GPU that is still comparable to even dual core chips. Software wise its a blow out in favor of the Nexus S.

I came from a EVO 4G and still own a ATT iPhone 4. Coming from a iPhone you'll never find a Android phone that offers a similar level of user experience. But the advantage is in Google services. Getting the Nexus S will keep you up to date and ice cream should narrow the UI/UX gap when it comes. Stepping down to the EVO 4G and sense won't help you much.
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Just get the 3D and forget about it. Its on a different level than both phones.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Better hardware yeah, but I still think the NS will offer the better software experience in the long term
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Good for you......I think otherwise. And???
[EVO 4G General] Stuke00:
I will never own another phone by Samsung again. So I would definitely get the EVO or get a refund and wait for the 3D
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Any reasons to think so?
[EVO 4G General] vbetts:
I wouldn't exactly say it's better, it's just aosp which means as soon as google finishes an update, it's pushed the the Nexus series. Personally I prefer aosp over Sense, but to the average person who doesn't root who doesn't know the difference between Gingerbread, Icecream, etc etc then a simple launcher replacement would do. Out of the 2, I would pick the 3d over the S but the 3d is not an option in this case.
[EVO 4G General] Cares:
3D over Nexus S. Assuming you're on XDA, you already root so getting latest AOSP isn't a concern.

And did you know HTC listens? ;)

Sent from my HTC Evo 4G
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Getting fully working AOSP is another thing. I was on CM7 and left without hesistation because of all the little bugs. Besides his choices seem to be limited to the EVO 4G and NS4G.
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Android 2.3.4 with HW acceleration (specifically for dual cores), and then Ice Cream with all the enhancements to the software. I would think having better hardware along with software that makes the best use of that hardware is gonna be the reason.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I've been enjoying the limited GPU acceleration under 2.3 for a couple of days now (regular NS users were for months). Judging by the average amount of time that HTC takes to update their phones, I probably would have been using ice cream for several months before the 3D got it. And by then I'd probably would have already or will be close to upgrading to the next Nexus with a 2nd generation dual core or even quad core CPU. That's why the Nexus will almost always have a better software experience.

..and that's without saying that the Nexus is Googles playground where they experiement with new mobile services like Google wallet.

Edit: The more I think about it, the more crazy it seems. It took HALF A YEAR for any phone to be officially upgraded to 2.3 and CM7 still isn't as stable as a stock N1 or NS.
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Maybe, Maybe not. Far be it from me to say so, but I am not relying on HTC for anything. Just like I am running a fully functional EVO 3d ROM on my evo with no issues whatsoever, when they said that was impossible. And CM7 has not had any bugs for a long time as far as im concerned. Been running it prior to this kingdom rom and it was spot on with every feature working. So having that option along with any update put out by the dev's here on the 3D is fine with me. I know they can make these devices run far beyond what HTC or google can or has intended them too.

EDIT: BTW, the whole 2.3 thing was caused by google. You do know that carriers were set to release 2.3, and then google came back with a revision and they decided to hold off to revise to that version before releasing instead of releasing then having to release another one right afterwards.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Last time I checked the 3D ROM port has GPU driver issues that'll never allow it to run as stable as a stock EVO 3D. CM doesn't have bugs? check out the stable or nightly threads.

Bottom line, if any of those ROMs ever shipped on a commercial product, it wouldn't fly and that's if it could go pass carrier/OEM producting testing. That I can guarantee.
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Why would I need to read threads when the ROM was on my phone for the entire time up until a few days ago. Lets see My personal experiance vs someone else's in a thread. I think I can go on my personal experiance alot more reliably than someone else's...dont you think?

[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
So i thought it would be a good idea to create a thread in order to allow Desire HD users to share their experiences with Chainfire3D and what apps do or don't work.

The plugin used is listed on the left of the game.

WORKING

[nvidia]Fruit Ninja THD - runs great

[nvidia]Hardwood Solitaire - a little laggy in menus, gameplay is fine

[nvidia]Riptide - a little laggy during gameplay, but playable. Character's graphic a little messed up.

[nvidia]Samuria II: Vengeance - perfect, apart from some menu glitches. Press home and return for temp fix

[none]Plants vs. Zombies HD - works perfect, but buttons very small because tablet optimized

[nvidia]Pinball HD for Tegra - works perfect

[nvidia]My First TRAINZ Set - works but very slow - unplayable.

[nvidia]Backbreaker - works but animations broken

NOT WORKING

Big Bang Racing

Monster Madness

Any other games you have tried with Chainfire? I've been curious to know how Aftermath XHD plays on the Desire HD. Anyone tried that?

I'll try keep this post updated.

yeah i get that too. No big deal really.
[Desire HD General] tolis626:
Well,given the fact that,being underage,I have no credit card,I only tried Dungeon Defenders THD and it won't play.It instantly closes when I try to launch it.

Just to make sure,you are using the Nvidia plugin,aren't you Beaver?
[Desire HD General] Doktaphex:
Big bang racing doesn't work. Just starts up with a screen about device not meeting minimum hardware requirements, seems to be the only game so far that doesn't work.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
Yeah using the Nvidia plugin. Maybe try it without the plugin? Or try playing around with the graphic settings in the Chainfire app.
[Desire HD General] redbullcat:
I think, contrary to ethics and all that, the best thing to do is actually pirate a game, see if it works, then buy it if it works. Especially if it's not on this list.

If you buy a game (such as Doktaphex presumably did with Big Bang Racing) and find it doesn't work, you've essentially wasted money on a game that doesn't work.

I know some people will take this the wrong way, but I firmly believe it's the best way to do it.

Did anyone get plants vs zombies hd to work??which driver does it require??it keeps crashing to the homescreen.

I tried that a week or so back. It worked without even using Chainfire. But its kind of useless because its optimized for tablets so all the buttons are so small.

[Desire HD General] lestatmail:
Yep, works perfectly. Thank you so much, now to play games nvidia. Greetings
[Desire HD General] tolis626:
Well,I can confirm that Dungeon Defenders works,just not the Tegra edition.When you launch it first time with the Tegra plugin,it downloads the Tegra files,but it cannot start the game itself.If you download the game with the Tegra plugin,then switch the plugin off and run it,it will download the Qualcomm files and run ok.Just a little choppy at times but whatever! :cool:

It's quite good in fact.I just got addicted! :p

[Captivate General] chirs:
I used to use Kies do the sync, but after flashed I9000 based roms, kies doesn't work anymore(says device not supported), is there any other way to sync with outlook? google is not a option cause it's another group contacts which I used on another phone. Thanks.
[Captivate General] warp.asylum:
I use Outlook Hotmail Connector and a hotmail account.
[Captivate General] jack man:
the reason Kies says Device not supported is because I9000 roms change the product ID. It is not recognized as a captivate anymore. Same thing happened to me. There are threads on here on how to change you product ID back to the captivate ID but whatever you do, don't try to change it back to the captivate ID while still on an I9000 ROM - it will completely screw your IMEI number, and possibly make your phone unuseable as a phone.

The only way to use Kies with your captivate is to be on a captivate based ROM, generally a KB1. But even if you flash back to stock 2.1 you will still need to edit some files to get your product ID back to normal. It's a complicated process if you have never done it before.

As far as contacts go, I use MyPhoneExplorer. It's free, get it in the market, and you also need the free copy on your desktop (or laptop). It can sync wirelessly or via usb with Outlook contacts and calendar.

I'll be glad to assist you with product ID change if you need. just let me know. I have done it several times. But be prepared to back up everything becuase it will involve flashing stock and clearing things.
[Captivate General] atcwoody:
I use GSyncIt. Very good program. Highly configurable. Costs $20 but it is worth it to me. Syncs contacts, calendars, motes, etc.
