Okie, had this phone for a week now, and ive put it through its paces and after quite a bit of messing about i figured there isnt much i dont like, but here goes anyway

firstly and formost, the Camera, seriously its actually a really good camera, get the settings right and outdoor photos look amazing, videos arent bad either, my problem is it takes an age to take the picture, the auto focus is really good but badly implamented, im also going to bet that if we can turn off all the auto rubbish even low light photos will be good, rather than the blury images we have today.

secondly the power button could have been a bit more protruding

it would have been nice to have the four buttons light up when dark

perhaps have more free RAM rather than the massive about of ROM that will largely go unused (SD cards people!)

This phone is cracking, the battery is pretty damn good, had the GPS running for 9 hours whilst taking photos and still it was only half used, somwhat impressed i have to say, great phone.
[Touch HD General] CutePinkSox:
Just install a soft reset app - and click one icon so not that stupid really!
[Touch HD General] mrbkkt1:
Okay, so consensus on the Blackstone? I myself am considering an update. I've had a Kaiser for over a year and a half now, and it's showing it's wear. Some new apps, and rom updates have gotten me interested a little bit, but a new phone is in the planning stages.

GO for the Blackstone?, get the Touch Pro? (I still like having an actual keyboard), or wait for the max?(unlikely), or keep the Kaiser for another year, and wait for winmo6.5.
[Touch HD General] Steili:
...or press and hold the Power-Button for a few seconds...
[Touch HD General] Cheesy Dave:
Always a personal choice ... but, I had the Touch Pro and dropped it quickly when I saw the HD - my dream device, big screen, loads of memory, thin, ...

But, no keyboard. However, I don't type a huge amount on the HD !!

If you are a big typist then the Touch Pro might be nice.

Alternatively, wait a year a go for the "Whitestone" !

Best & Worst

Had mine for a month now.

At first I was alittle bit dissapointed with the speed of its responses. For instance on pictures/album it takes a good few seconds to bring up the thumbnails

I have installed the SD tuneup app and still the same?

but I have to say...I love it.

great music player with album art-great sound on good headphones.

great apps to customize it.

I have tomtom,it does lag, believe me there are two many ppl out there confirming this. but it is only a small lag...2 secs at most.

camera is good for still outdoor shots. It is terrible for people in or outside. I got my little lad to smile i took the pic when i checked it,I had a pic of him walking away after!

for people who like farting about with stuff-geeks like me...it is great.
[Touch HD General] xtac:
MY biggest Pro would be it sounds much better then the compeitition in terms of out of the box music playing.
[Touch HD General] fortigeek:
Could be better:

Camera/Video

volume button

shape could be rounded a bit more
[Touch HD General] Xeon:
Stupidest things:

-No cradle

-Only 1 USB cable... Remove the cable from the computer , plug it into the charger, back to the computer ...!!

-Case protector unpractical. Feels like a bag.. must buy a new one like the old XDA2 leather case.

-Video Performance mediocre with Coreplayer V1.3

Best thing :

The device is an I-Phone Killer based on many website reviews
[Touch HD General] gurluver:
Best things

- Top spec

- Big screen

- Step a head screen resolution

- At the right weight

Stupid things

- Camera no flash, no dedicated camera key, making self pictures difficult

- Touch Flo doesn't incoporate tasks, only appointment

- Non customisable (compare to widgets gui)

- Soft reset button under case (when the device completely frozen).

- No build in rotate screen function
[Touch HD General] Psyberd:
i think the lack sufficient hardware buttons namely of a d-pad is stupid

No Send Text to many

No Send Text to many

Hi

Found this problem with my Elfin too...so no point in blaming HD alone. I am not able to send Text message (aka SMS) to more than one people in single click/tap. I have to add one person's name, again go to 'Add Recipient' add another person, again repeat for third name and so on.. It is annoying when you have to send texts in lots ( like during new year ). Does anyone have solution for that? I prefer not to install 3rd party app (exept for HD Tewak, Advance config. etc.). it would be great if there is any registry hack or something like that.

Thanks ahead
[Touch HD General] Sopis:
hey there..

try to write names exactly as you have them in your contact list separated with semicolon ";"

this is how it works in outlook, and messaging app is on similiar basis...I dunno if it works like this...I just think so because I tried to add more people but didnt send message..

let us know if it works ;)
[Touch HD General] ash3012:
Thank you Sopis for the idea. It works quite well for upto 5-8names. but again, for contact list of say 200+ (which is quite normal) it gets annoying. Nothing would work like 'Select All' or a better like 'check box' (similar to Symbian Series 60 3rd gen. to be precise)

Anyone knows the trick?
[Touch HD General] Psygnosis84:
The rest of your post is FAIL big time.
[Touch HD General] Xeon:
I'M forgiving you for not using your brain enough to notice that I am not in the UK and that most of the accessories in my country are still not available.

Concerning the cable..I've seen losts of people complaining about switching between ActiveSync and the charger.

And the fact that the case is ALREADY included in the box doesn't mean that it couldn't be better. ( hole for camera and ability to see the screen are mandatory). I don't feel like NOT USING boxed accessories.

One last thing.. Try to do something more usefull than acting smart and respect others opinions rather than commenting in a childish way.
[Touch HD General] Psygnosis84:
So what, i'm not in the UK either but can easily buy them. There are alot of shops selling cradles like these, even eBay.

i have not used the original HTC cable but used my generic mini usb cable for ActiveSync and normal connection and has never failed me.

It's a pouch, what do you expect. That's why one is called a case and the other is called a pouch.

Oh and i'm being reasonable, not childish.
[Touch HD General] Xeon:
HTC used to provide cradle and wired chargers with their phones. It is not really about the usb cable but about the charger that needs the cable whenever you want to recharge the device.WAYBE you are right concerning the case. Anyway i am happy with my HD although i work for Nokia..
[Touch HD General] t3rm3y:
well the above previous posts mention camera etc, but dont let that put you off, if your on holiday take a digital - most people have them now and can then upload pics to phone via pc to look at, yes the cam is going to be **** when you most need it, but hopefully someone else wil lbe with you with a diff phone and can blue tooth pic to you :)

not noticed audio / mp3 stutter as dont use the phone for that, got couple movies (mp4) on phone play smooth, look and sound dreat, so screen really is fantastic. and HD screen, so get some really nice pretty pics on the mem card :)

size of phone will be a problem - especially if had few drinks, or doing something else, im used to holding and texting one handed, and this is do-able once used to phone keypad, but i do see this slipping due to size.

its very customizeable,

another con i noticed is the games you can get for it so far look terrible. for the screen size and quality, i was hoping for something along the lines of a psp but nothing even close
[Touch HD General] grossermanitu:
Coolest thing: Bluetooth, TF3D (davideuck v2), GPS,

Stupiest thing: I cannot see my appointment or maybe even tasks for the whole week. Anyone knows how to integrate this on the start screen of TF3D?
[Touch HD General] dataSaMm:
Best:

1. The beautiful huge screen, the less buttons it has the better because less dust will get in.

2. Power button on the top, this is very useful especially with the led.

3. Manila screen, I know many people don't like it but I think it works great as long as you assign programs as a soft key to the shortcut section and a shortcut folder in the start menu.

Things not so cool:

1. No video/graphics drivers.

2. Would of been nice to have at least 4 led's on the power button.

3. No pop up d-pad on the screen for games.

Hi,

I would like to remap my right software button to open the Call History of the Diamond (the one with the four big buttons underneath the calls)

I have disabled the TouchFlo3D and I use PocketBreeze instead. What I miss from TF3D is the Call History applet, but I can't get it to open instantly when I need it.

any advice would be appreciated!

Hi all,

i was trying since yesterday to cook my own rom German_AT, first doesnt look that bad at all :), but now i run into an problem, i wanna include

FInixNOverBatteryIconsOnly.cab and sdkcerts.cab into my rom, i think it would be enough to include it as an oem installation, i built the package and they seem to install, but they doesnt work :( i also watched out that sdkcerts gets installed befor FInixNOverBatteryIconsOnly.cab, but it doesnt change the battery icon :(

here are the oempackages how they look like :) but i think i must done something wrong hehe

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cHarOn99:

the package installation didnt work for me at all, so i decided to include it into the sys folders, add an rgu file for the registry tweak, after that it works :), but dont use it anymore on my last rom hehehe.

I had the "x" dimming issue with FInixNOverBatteryIcons

Found ts owen taskbar (Sony Ericsson oriented with sort of 3D effect bat/net icons) and fell in love with it

Should I recommend ROM cookers to take a look at it (I downloaded it from xda-devs but can't figure out exactly "where" now)

PS: If you wanna take a look, I posted a pic HERE

Well it was a thread 'bout radio antenna alternatives but the icons showed themself along with my antenna ;)

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] TheXclusive814:
They issue I am having is with text messages. Before dcd 4.1.2 I ran dcd 3.3.4. Under 3.3.4 say a friend of mine sent me 3 text messages. My message icon would so show three. I would open the conversation read the messages and close out. Then my message icon would show zero.

Using 4.1.2 when I open the conversation, read the messages and close, the message icon reads 2. So I have to open and close the conversation 2 more times to get the notification to go away. I absolutely hate this.

Can I change this with a registry hack or do I just have to go back to 3.3.4

I have my text messages set to threading. (IM style)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BillThyCat:
This is an issue with the new Win Mo core, not DCD. It's in all roms built with the new core. Hopefully there will be a work around in the future tho, cause it drives me nuts too.

BTC
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] TheXclusive814:
With 3.3.4 not 3.2.6 sorry
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] kflipproductions:
a) this has already been asked numerous times. search before posting

b) there is a thread for 4.1, why are you making a new thread?

c) you dont have to open and close 3 times. just scroll up and let the cursor pass over any bold contact name. the contact name will become plain and you wont have messages listed. if you get 3 texts, open it, scroll up to the first new text, and then close out after.

Hello because the low RAM on trinity im looking for the simpliest ROM (Only basic apps) with manila2D.

I tried a lot of roms and the fastest was cme 0.9 BETA which has a lot of issues.

Can someone help me?
[P3600 ROM Development] jab1a:
I would definutly recommend this ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=472178

its Team CV93+Oggi (CE OS 5.2.21014.1.6.0) Manila2D and there is a ultra-lite version, I have been using it for about a week (full ROM) and it is fast - stable and im sure the lite versions will be even faster.

Sorry I cant give more details

PDAViet TRINITY WM6.1 ROM V44 - Build 20748.1.4.0 (Manila2D) is mine tip, download and password is PhamQuang
[P3600 ROM Development] Mattster_spv:
Hi Snake_A.

The simplest Manila2D ROM (i.e. with the lowest number of potentially not needed add ons) that I have found is nosedive's latest:

[ROM][WWE][4/2/2009]n073e+i (CE OS 5.2.20769 build20769.1.4.5) [ONLINE]

It's faster than any others I have tried and has no issues (apart from psshut not letting you turn the device competely off). Bear in mind that speed on any Rom will depend on what you add after the flash. Reducing the number of Manila2D tabs (using m2Dc customiser) and switching off Manila2D during use of applications like TomTom and Internet Exploring does help.

Chanvi's pre-Iolite/Footprint ones are excellent too, but have more add ons (which you may not need, depending on personal preference). (Chanvi leads the way in Iolite/Footprint experimentation, but so far they seem to use more memory than previous versions.)

Both the above cooks are very active in the Trinity forum and always answer any problems. There are other great cooks who are also opening doors with their work and well worth testing their Roms, but if you are after simplicity and stability, I recommend nosedive or chanvi at the moment.

Hope this helps you and others,

Mattster.
[P3600 ROM Development] Mattster_spv:
I'm starting to miss Manila2D... I hope some updated Manila2D Roms come out soon.
[P3600 ROM Development] philocritus:
try cooking the latest 6.5 build from chanvi's kitchen. it has the jade 1.2 M2D OEM!
[P3600 ROM Development] Mattster_spv:
Hi Philocritus.

I have been thinking of trying that, but to tell you the truth I don't like the iconic start menu in Windows 6.5. I prefer the list format start menu of 6.1.

I have just flashed the 21042 6.1 full manila ROM from chanvi's Kitchen. Do you know how it compares to the latest 6.5 build?

Mattster.
[P3600 ROM Development] BigE:
Mattster my friend, welcome back..

I have tried both 6.1 and 6.5 in various options. Summary:

1. 6.1 or 6.5 makes no difference as far as speed. It is all CPU/clocking dependent. they both slow down the same with heavy graphics, and suffer the same behavior. It's all in the hardware..

2. Size of page pool makes a difference for speeds. But it is a trade off between free RAM and speed. It is depending what your needs are. again- 6.1 or 6.5 is not making a difference . Some claim 6.5 is slower, but really in order to say that one needs to compare apples with apples. two different ROMS are , by definition, apple and orange.

3. Try WM6.5 by Chanvi. Give it 72 hours before you give up on the bee hive you hate. After you get used to it, and to the slick movement of it, you will have hard time going back to the dull WM6.1 menus.

4. You will have to forget about 'dirty Harry' pose with the stylus in the mouth. Menus are SOOOOOOO finger friendly my stylus is rusting in its place inside the phone. No WM6.1 has this kind of GUI. Not even if artificially trying to add finger friendly menus. Even the X button on the upper right is

thumb

friendly !

5. Enjoy both worlds. Home2 now has an applet and theme that looks exactly as M2D. I have it installed on home2 and it's fun, not mentioning I go from analog to digital clock on the home tab in a flick of a finger. If you like the idea of home2 than install WM6.5 IE6Ultralite cause you really don't need CHome or M2D in the ROM. You will be surprised to get 28M free RAM and 79M free storage that way, and a phone faster than ever..

bigE
[P3600 ROM Development] Mattster_spv:
Hi bigE.

Thanks for the feedback. Most informative as always, and much appreciated. Funny you should mention the "Dirty Harry" look. I am somewhat famous for it in the office, and I tend to chew on my stylus continually...

On holiday, I had Manila2d and spb shell both turned off, and as a result I now find it irritatingly slow going back to them! I'll follow your suggestion this weekend: home2 with WM6.5 IE6Ultralite.

Is it worth me trying to cook home2 (it's freeware, no?) into the ROM using Chanvi's kitchen? Maybe you've done it already?

Mattster.
[P3600 ROM Development] _X_:
Best ROM that I ever have tested (and I have tested a lot of them) is:

[ROM][WWE] Windows Mobile 6.1 5.2.20270.1.3.1 Ver. 0.4.7.5 (Updated: 2009.04.04) by osavioro

Memory foot print with Home, Messages, E-mail, Settings and Programs tabs enabled in Manila2D:

Storage:

Total: 43.67MB

In Use: 23.67MB

Free: 20.00 MB

Program:

Total: 48.68MB

In Use: 29.56MB

Free: 19.12MB

iGO8 works like a charm. Fast with lot of usefull applications. Dont forget to install Manila customizer so you can disable unwanted tabs and save some memory.

No problems at all.
[P3600 ROM Development] BigE:
Worth trying, if you know how.. I didn't. One comment though- there is a non official release of the home2 free (you need to do some reading) where Joel made the home2.exe file use storage memory to dump graphics files. that made home2 work in 90% speed it was before, but free RAM is 4-5M bigger. If you think of cooking home2 I would like to know how you do it.. I have no clue how to take a cab and add it into the kitchen..

bigE
[P3600 ROM Development] philocritus:
I gave up on home2 since it sucked the battery dry in one day! plus it was a very memory hungry app... maybe just maybeeeee i'll return to it when that exe is stable.

miss home1 btw... 1.2 was in my opinion on of the best UI around, and still is my favorite behind m2d
[Touch HD General] iamamoose:
Is it normal to have a lot of screen flex? I just got the touch HD and when using a finger or the stylus the screen moves down about 0.5 or 1mm, and you hear a slight mechanical click as the touchscreen bit touches the lcd. It pops back up a bit when you let go.

I guess it's because it's a bigger display than what I'm used to, the Mio A701 was rock solid with zero flex.

So have other owners noticed this? I can't find anything searching around, so I guess either everyone thinks it's normal, or I had a bad device.

TIA Mark
[Touch HD General] sectorlord:
Mine only flex amost 0..and I dont hear or feel any click...but I found that Diamond is much stiffer...maybe because it's smaller screen....

But half or 1 mm is way too much..,probably 0.1 mm if you press hardest..but no click
[G1 General] TimSykes:
Warning: Take this with a grain of salt. I got this info from a sales rep at a corporate t-mobile store.

So I went to a t-mobile store over the weekend, I had a issue with my back cover, and asked about any new batteries. The guy gave me a new back cover and a 2nd battery to hold me over until the new ones came out. He told me starting next week, the new G1s will be shipping with a better extended battery, and should be starting a replacement program for current g1 owners. I just hope its true.
[G1 General] Meltus:
lol i just bought an extended 2200mAh battery ><

ah well, only cost me £15. sure hope i get another one though :D
[G1 General] predo:
I doubt tmobile uk would ever do anything like this... it was meant to be happening in us
[G1 General] Karolis:
Care to share where you've ordered it for 15 quid? I want one too...
[G1 General] Meltus:
good old ebay :D

but unfortunatly the seller has closed his ebay account for whatever reason which is a shame. damn good battery too.

heres his account anyway http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/bestpower-uk
[G1 General] TimSykes:
I am sure you can still find his email if you used paypal and pass it over to him. just an idea.
[G1 General] Meltus:
his e-mail (or the company's email) is kingstech88@yahoo.com good old paypal :P

also, the battery as £10 with £5 delivery.

delivery time was a bit ****.
[G1 General] Brutal-Force:
I doubt this.

I know that randomly you can get some quick help from T-mo stores when it comes to extra phone parts laying around, but I was having issues with my phone back (grey one) fading to some brownish color.

I called to see if they would cover it under warranty and I was told that they do not stock any battery covers for warranty replacements.

IF they were to warranty a phone, they would have you send them the phone and that I would keep the battery and battery cover.

Since this would not fix my problem, they said they would have to replace the whole phone.

(Since my phone is rooted), I did not want to do this so I told them it was poor service to make me send in my whole phone for a battery back cover which I could get from HTC (which was in stock) for 15.00 + S&H.

So the Rep at the PDA support spoke with his supervisor and credited my account with the cost of replacing the battery back.

Long story short, if they can't even replace the battery or phone w/o sending the WHOLE phone back, then why would they even have extra of either laying around.

P.S. I went with the black back, no point in it fading again. It also looks kinda like a Storm Trooper now.
[G1 General] TimSykes:
I walked in and showed them the back of my phone, and they grabbed a replacement back cover for me. But I did got to a corporate store.
[G1 General] The Great NY:
the battery replacment program may not be too far off. when i had my wing a new battery got sent to me by T-Mo...........saying that some had experienced overheating problem and such.

the pacakge arrived out of no where.........all i had to do to not be charged was send back the old battery.

so it may come to fruition for our G1's
[G1 General] Smokuevo:
well my battery is like heating oven... especially when connected and im using it.. omg! i can get burned with that thing.
