I have recently been getting really irritated at WM and how difficult such easy tasks are. I have been getting irritated at the stability, lack of features, difficulty to use among other things.

Other OS's seem just so far ahead of WM even with 6.5 and 7, by the time 7 comes out ill probably have another 3 phones anyways.

Just wondering everyone elses opinions.
[General Topics] adeltaY:
Well, 6.5 is coming out soon, May 11 to be precise. I'll stick with WM, and if for some strange reason probably involving torture I get tired of WM, I'll go with Symbian, since the Omnia HD runs it and the Omnia HD is AWESOME!
[General Topics] F-Styla:
Same here man!

I won't stick von Windows Mobile, I will sell my Xperia and buy an iPhone. Maybe I will sell my iPhone when WM 7 will be released, but untill this day, the iPhone experiance is something special. Windows mobile interface looks like the ones, from the first Pocket PCs from 1999!

Especially the landscape mode in WM sucks because of this windows task bar, it kills half of the screen in landscape mode!!

And the videos are bucking in the first seconds, forwarding mp3 has got deceleration and so one. That's not what I expect from my phone.

Even when WM has a lot of things which are great (torrent, mms, possibilties to modify it, business stuff), the iPhone has a lot of thing which are even greater (multitouch, smooth and easy interface, fingerfriendly menus, nice mp3 and video function).

Just like I said, right now the iPhone is the ultimate touch experiance.

I hope WM 7 will change it, so that I can buy a Xperia again, because I love the hardware and the look of this phone.

I said a lot about that in a other thread.

I've just installed one of the 6.5 builds and I'm already missing both the keypad/phonepad IME and the volume control.

Any thoughts on the best way to get those back?

Thanks!
[Touch HD General] ardsar:
2 weeks ago, my HD suffered a problem where it would randomly reboot. Eventually it would not power up at all. I have just received my phone back from HTC repair centre, and after 2 hours of use..... guess what ...... same problem is happening again. According to the repair sheet, the main board was replaced - but obviously not the cause of the fault. I've been without the phone for over a week now and i rely on it for work.

I was contsantly tracking the progress on line, and the repair took less than an hour, with probably 2 hours of testing.....

Anyone else had similar issues? Should i push for a new phone rather than repair, as it seems they can't even get this right.......
[Touch HD General] zuadao:
i dont buy that. it would be cheaper to just give you a new one. they probably noticed a faulty connection and tried to fix it.

when this sort of thing hapens, you should allways try to get a new one.

write an e-mail complaining to the htc headquarters, maybe someone will hear you.

Business requires backups

Consider keeping a backup phone for these issues: when I bought the Touch Pro I kept my Tilt, and damned glad I did.
[Touch HD General] genesicgaogaiga:
After changing motherboard, it should be a new machine internally.

The same symptom should not occur unless it is software problem.

Did you try using it without installing extra programmes?

Did you install any special program afterwards??

If yes, you should do a trial run after each installation.
[Touch HD General] leobox1:
am thinking along this line too... is it a bad program?
[Touch HD General] ardsar:
The only app that was installed was lumos to control the backlight, however no one else has reported isues with this killing the device.

To me it sounds like the power module is at fault, causing stress on the main board. They fixed what was damaged but not the cause. Surely the device should have been power soaked before returning.
[Touch HD General] leobox1:
lumos is ok on mine..
[Touch HD General] ardsar:
The phone came back with a new IMEA number, so they did replace the main board.
[Touch HD General] leobox1:
pretty tricky problem imo .. fancy not fixed even with change of mainboard
[Touch HD General] ardsar:
Well after contacting HTC again, they want me to send the phone back - this time with the battery. Can't really see how the battery can kill the device, unless it is trying too pull to much current during charging? Surely there must be a protection circuit to gaurd against this..........

Does anyone have an email address for HTC - other than the "automated response" ones which reply with useless comments?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kcraptor82:
Just recently bought a At&t Tilt off of Ebay and it originally came with the stock 6.0 rom. Well I upgraded to 6.1, and still had a few issues with text messaging. Then I Hard-SPL it, and loaded the HTC 6.1 rom and I like it much better. Well my phone works awesome, but the dang thing still has problem receiving picture messages. I use tmobile as my carrier, but I roam on att towers sometimes. Well before with my nokia phone, I never had a problem with any kind of messages. Now since I got this tilt, messages just don't seem to get to me. I can have a friend right next to me send me a picture message with text, and my phone never even bothers to say that I have a message. But if he sends a text message, the phone will get it. So what is going on here? I mean I can deal with it, but sorta sucks that I only get half of my text messages. Any one else got this problem?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kcraptor82:
Okay, I found this while searching the forums:

Apprantelly this tells the carrier what kind of phone I have. Well what should I change my settings to, so tmobile will send me my mms? Already tried the cab that was built, but it didn't really change much. Ideas?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyH32:
When the device wakes up from standby it goes to the TF3D home screen, even when in a call and you need to you the 'people centric' shortcuts that HTC boast about. So when you turn your screen on during a call you have to press the small green button to take you off of the home screen and back to the call screen.... most annoying

Is there anyway around this, I have had a quick search but mostly this issue relates to the old TF3D and there does not seem to many answers.

Please help
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetgaz:
I just tested this for you. Whilst in a call I turned off the screen and then back on again. It resumed to the call screen and not the TF3D screen as you suggest. Sorry, I have no explanation for you.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HandySpanner:
The behaviour may be different if it times out to the standby mode (whilst in a call), rather than you pressing the button.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyH32:
It mainly does it when you slide the slider down and then turn off the screen and turn it on.

The other main problem is say your in MS word and the screen goes off it takes you back to the home and you have to go back to word to carry on what you were doing, has anyone managed to disable this action i was wondering if it was a registry entry but i cant seem to find any thing :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyH32:
Does this not annoy anyone else?

Anyone got any ideas?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceevee369:
As annoying as on the D1 it is , but some existing tweaks might help disable screen off.

I still need to change my D1 to D2 in the next days but will become (again) a participating member here going untill 6.5.1 with this one :)

Iphone had me captured for a few months, but despite the tortures given, I refrain back to PDA & HTC
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC Touch Freak:
I don't have my TD2 in yet but is there not the TaskManager Icon on the left top of the taskbar?

You could just click on that then on (for example) MW to get back to it instead of going back to programs and opening it. It is a pain sometimes.

Is there not an option that disables it going to the Homescreen? IDK....Just throwing things out there.

IIRC on my Elfin when I was running Touch Flo 2D, I think I had M2DC, but coud set it to go to main screen after the screen went off or stay where it was. On Onyx 6.5 rom for the Elfin after the screen locks I am back to whatever screen I was in.

There will probably a fix for this anyway.

Edit - I had a thought. If you use the Locking App I use (CAB below) there is an option where you can check if the today screen is shown after lock. Mebe if you install this and un-check that setting it will no longer jump to TF and stay in the program you were in.

If you try it let us know.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pietrucci:
Well, some more "problems":

* remove the back for a softreset

* remove the bk for the storage card

* no d-pad

On all other aspects: better than the D1!

(and even nicer...)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC Touch Freak:
Removing the Cover to soft reset will be a pain but there are programs for the like psShutXP. (not sure how it looks/works on the D2 seeing it's wvga)

I really don't see in haveing to remove the back cover for an SD card is a problem. How many times do you really need to remove it? Especially since you can throw in a 16GB card and call it good. I have to remove the back cover on the Elfin even though the card is on the side.

No D-pad will essentially be a little bump but I am hoping the screen is big enough. With the 6.5 Rom I've been using on the Elfin I hardly use it unless I feel lazy to touch.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pietrucci:
that's why i said "problems": no real things...

though a d-pad would be useful especially in the phone screen quickly scrolling through contacts
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC Touch Freak:
Ah I see.... I didn't see the "" when reading..... LOL..... I just get a little frustrated when I hear about the SD card being under the cover. So many reviews online have mentioned it and it's perfectly fine. Allows for less moving parts. The door on my elfin is rather chipped from opening it so many times. I mean atleast it's not under tha battery like some phones I've owned.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
There is a very well explained guide here in post 2. I think you need a few hours on your hands to achieve results though as it does not look straightforward.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SimpTheChimp:
I agree, I have played with that program and actually added a programs panel, but then how does one add the necessary items? I think we need a tutorial somewhere on what are the available registry entries for Titanium....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] claus1953:
You create a new panel, Launcher for ex., then you add a new page and you add as url a program, then you add another page with another program to launch and so on. Then you can swipe from one page to the next one and tap to launch the program you want. If there are too many favorite programs you could add instead a folder with all the programs in there, or launch a program launcher like iLaunch.

Just a few thought how i would do it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oldsap:
This is most likely the way to do it:

ACTIONURL= Location of exe/ink/etc for the plugin when you press on the panel or press the center D-Pad Button (Example: ”\Windows\fexplorer.exe” to make the plugin open File Explorer)

SK1URL= Same as ACTIONURL, but for the “Left Soft Key”.

SK1TEXT= The text displayed for the “Left Soft Key”.

SK2URL= Same as ACTIONURL, but for the “Right Soft Key”.

SK2TEXT= The text displayed for the “Right Soft Key”.

DefaultXML/ExtensibilityXML= Active plugins and their order. Also tells CHome which CPR’s to use (filename).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] webguy05:
Creating a Programs Tab

From my findings, it seems you can achieve the result you are looking for by editing 3-4 files.

1. bronzeres.dll (this contains the icons for each program you want to launch)

2. Titanium_###x###.cpr files (2 if you have a landscape mode)

3. registry change

What you need to do is change everything that is set for the CWelcomeCenter and turn it into your programs panel. Look at this post for an example of my registry change .dll and .cpr files for an example. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3651793&postcount=78

Hope this helps in your search
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oldsap:
got it. Using CHome Editor:

1. open CHome Editor, click Add New Panel, create a name for it (ex. Programs)

2. after adding "Programs Panel", click on Add New Page, then choose "Program" from the list and click on "Create"

3. back to the CHome editor menu, click on Edit Items Value, and choose "Programs" from the list on the left hand list of panels.

4. choose Page 1, and then edit these values:

ACTIONURL= Location of exe/ink/etc for the plugin when you press on the panel or press the center D-Pad Button (Example: ”\Windows\fexplorer.exe” to make the plugin open File Explorer)

SK1URL= Same as ACTIONURL, but for the “Left Soft Key”.

SK1TEXT= The text displayed for the “Left Soft Key”.

SK2URL= Same as ACTIONURL, but for the “Right Soft Key”.

SK2TEXT= The text displayed for the “Right Soft Key”.

5. Save and you're done
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
Thanks for the summary - it makes it so much easier when you see it in a list like that. Just to add for completeness before 5. above

PICTURES= location of the graphic to be displayed in the panel eg. \My Documents\Car.png

TEXT1= Text you want to appear in the panel eg. Tom Tom Navigator.

It just looks better with these added rather than having a blank panel.

i use to flash roms to my herald ll the time, but i kinda started gettin used to the stock roms, if so, whats the best rom for the herald thats close to the original?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mybikegoes200:
First and foremost. This may be just my imagination, but I'm starting to think that part of the GPS issues that everybody experiences with the Raphael (Fuze) might be due to TomTom's DLLs...

I've used TomTom extensively on my past 3 phones - an 8525, a Kaiser, and now my Fuze. I just got Igo MyWay 8 - and have to say that overall, I'm much happier with Igo (and I loved TomTom in spite of it's shortcomings with this phone).

Satellite lock and speed

- Igo gets a satellite lock *MUCH* faster than TomTom ever could. I assumed that this wouldn't change, assuming it was a hardware anomaly - but it appears the DLLs used to communicate from software to OEM device vary from app-to-app. Igo wins this one hands down - I get locks inside my house inside of 20 seconds COLD and within 3-5 seconds "hot" or outside. No, I'm not on acid. That fast.

Ease of use

- TomTom *is* more customizable. But many of the customizations you can make are... well... useless. TomTom has the edge here, but not by much.

Features

- Igo has Text-to-Speech (TTS) - something that apparently TomTom has no intention of supporting. I've heard rumors that the current version of TT does support TTS, but I have the current version and could find nothing on it. In the directions, the saying of street names is VERY helpful. Igo matches TT feature-by-feature, the only thing I missed in Igo was the browse map of TomTom (you can browse in Igo - it's just not as intuitive). Also, Igo has actual 3D mapping of both topography and major cities. Way cool - know where the next big hill is, navigate based on building shape, etc.

Igo wins hands-down.

Cost

- Both have the pay-for-map business model, though Igo's at least for the moment are significantly cheaper. Igo wins again.

POIs

- TomTom seemed to have a bit more POI's loaded stock, but the difference was negligible. Even.

All in all, I'll keep TomTom on my phone, but purely for reference if needed. Since I installed Igo, I've not used TomTom even once.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] millab:
I have to agree with you on all points. I used to be a big believer in Tomtom, but after trying iGo 8 i will not be going back!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Drybonz:
I've read a bunch of good stuff about Igo... the thing that sucks is that apps like footprints are usually tomtom compatible and nothing else.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Aaron McCarthy:
I guess it all depends where you are... I've researched igo a bit and I dont think the maps released for north america as up to date as TOMTOMS... I could be wrong though. If they are... do they have 3d landmarks like they do in Europe? By like they do in Europe I mean as many...
