i didnt realise that!

out of interest, do you know if the vodafone phones will be free of branding and unlocked as well? im not too bothered really, but would be a little bonus. im not 100% aware of how mobilephones direct work with their handsets.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] billu:
I stated the operator and asked if it would be unlocked and the answer was yes. I would be pretty certain that it would be free of branding on any network at the moment as there hasn't been enough time for any operator to do their own version of the firmware since the release. Also Vodafone has it as coming soon on their website I thinks which adds to the theory that the aren't ready with any customisation yet.

Ordered mine today from Mobile Phones Direct, now the waiting is killing me!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] billu:
Mobilephonesdirect from the uk.

the June 1st information given to me was wrong. it was dispatched today.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jamiewalshe:
mine doesnt say dispatched yet, ive only got the confirmation of order email and there nothing new on the order on mobilephonesdirect despite placing the order this morning.

:(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rob_p:
I'm thinking of getting one of these from MobilePhonesDirect, can you confirm it is a fully unlocked phone?

Also, I'm currently on vodafone (sim only), is T-Mobile better for data coverage, or do vodafone still top the charts in that respect?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] billu:
Apparently the company (mobilesPhonesdirect ? should be indirect) didn't pay enough postage so I will have to collect it form the local depot and pay an extra £3.50.:mad:

One of the problems of this capitalist society that we live in! I mean the postman can come all the way to the house give this information but can't bring a small package with him! Probably have to wait till tomorrow now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rob_p:
That's seriously un-funny. I've ordered with them, but am having difficulties getting hold of anyone either via phone or email, to sort out an issue with PAC codes. I told them that I need it shipped today or forget about it, but if they're underpaying on postage, that's not good - I will mention it if I ever get to speak to someone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jamiewalshe:
i ordered one yesterday morning and havent had anything except my order confirmation. no payment taken, no reply to my queries and certainly no phone delivered. havent been able to speak to anyone there either.

on their website my order says status 'new' and im assuming customers get dispatch emails and the such.

im just being impatient!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rob_p:
I've managed to get 2 responses to emails (sent about 10). Mine's currently on the status "Pending PAC", and no-one is responding to email or anything now. So I'll be cancelling my order with them if I don't get any response by close of play today, absolutely shocking service.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dazultra2000:
I ordered mine from MPD yesterday afternoon and it arrived this morning at about 11:50am...only 50 mins til I can go home and play with it! Can't wait!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rob_p:
I've just cancelled my order. Never seen a vendor care so little about actually making a sale. Sounds like you were lucky!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Tomo:
I think it's unlikely that an operator will leave it unlocaked if you buy from them
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rob_p:
Shock horror, I sent an email cancelling, and telling them how pathetic their customer service is, and I get a response within 10 minutes!!!

They seemed somewhat upset that I had criticised them, and stated that "it's not unreasonable if you haven't heard back from us within the same day".

Fine, if that's how they want to run their business then it's their choice, but they should remove the bit from their site that states that their customer service is quick and helpful :o

So I'll be waiting now to see some decent vendors come out with some packages. Either that, or wait another month or so and buy it sim free.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] purple8:
Mines awaiting stock from MPD. They usual respond with a couple of hours. Would have ordered sooner but pac still aint turned up from orange. Just got an email stating stock will be back in monday. So will hopefully get mine Tues.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jamiewalshe:
mines now saying pending stock too. i havent had a reply yet though

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] purple8:
I think MPD suffered from the popularity of this phone and the fact that someone posted a link to them on here saying they had stock haha. I was kicking myself for not ordering sooner, damn PAC code, but if you orderded 11am thurs makes me feel better. I still want it now though, que stroppy child face......... I got an email saying they will be in monday so heres hoping..:)

I rushed to the Post office on friday to pick up the parcel and made it with 5 mins to spare. :) Been setting up the phone to my liking over the last 2 nights. Initial thoughts, one of HTC's best devices, video playback quicker than Touch HD.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rob_p:
Just had an apology from MPD and a very helpful guy on the other end, so I've chanced it and had him put through another order for me, so I'm hoping it may get here tomorrow.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Chainfire:
Just FYI for those still looking for one, several webshops here in Holland got their first TP2 shipments today - while they were scheduled to arrive next week. Similar things may be going on in other countries as well... gentlemen, check your webshops! :)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rob_p:
Well mine arrived today from MPD as the guy promised, so fair play to them, they redeemed themselves well.

So far I'm loving it. Just a couple of issues with MS3, but that's not HTC's fault :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MrPresident:
Didn't want to start a new thread but I just ordered one from MPD (since i see other poeple have done same) and i have a few questions.

1) went through checkout till it said order complete. On the My Acount page, under status, it says "New (contract)". I want to know what does this mean. I entered my details (in first step of checkout) that were under the headings of "keep existing number" i.e. my current phone number and that it is paymontly. When i recieve this phone will it have the same number as my current phone? should i ring t mobile now and tell them i want to cancel my current contract (since the new one should replace it).

can someone who has ordered their phone through MPD just give a little advice. in my excitement i just ordered the phone without understanding exactly what i have done, and how i should now go about finllyu cancelling my old contract (which finished a couple months ago, but i've just been going along with it still because i was waiting for this phone (although i never thought i could get it from a website like MPD, i was only waiting for tmobile to release it as vario and then get that))

edit: oh yeah, i paid for next day delivery (£3.99). does this mean i will have my phone at my house tomorrow morning? how long does the credit check stuff take?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rob_p:
If you put in that you want to keep your number, you would have needed to supply a PAC code, if you don't have one, then you can get one from T-Mobile (assuming that you've taken out a contract with Vodafone now, if still with T-Mobile then you won't be able to keep your number.

But they won't be able to process further until they have a PAC code from you (I had this problem).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MrPresident:
thnx for reply.

the new contract i choose from MPD was with tmobile again and not vodafone. do i still need the pac code?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nicelad_uk:
If its a new contact and its even t-mobile when you were with t-mobile, as daft as it sounds you need a PAC code.

I moved from o2 to a new contract on o2 and needed the PAC code, sad eh!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MrPresident:
bah. they never asked me for a pac code. i guess i'll ring tmobile asking for a pac code and sit and wait till i hear something from MPD, then give them that.

guess it looks like i wont have the phone tomorrow. :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rob_p:
The problem is, I'm 99% sure that you can't use a T-Mobile PAC code with T-Mobile (if that makes any sense). You can use a PAC Code to port a number to a new network (T-Mobile to Vodafone say), but not if you want a new contract because it has a better price on a phone, but you want to keep your number and not move networks.

I may be wrong here (and please feel free to correct me :) ) but I'm pretty certain that's the case.

Some people I know have been able to port their number out to another network on a PAYG sim, then once the number is on that new network, get a PAC from them to port back to their original netwrok, on their new contract. But this wll then take a few days extra to get the PAC each time. Also, other people have said that it's not possible to port a number back into a network within 3 months or something, so who knows?!

If you want the phone quickly, a new number is the way to do it. I just decided to get a new number to save the hassle - I have unlimited text on my old contract so will just send the new number to everyone!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nicelad_uk:
T-Mobile - T-Mobile needs a PAC code, had to do this for my dad the other month. Good thing with T-Mobile is if you call them, they will give you the PAC code on the phone straight away, they pass you to retentions to get it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gingerprince:
I just ordered a TP2 from MPD. I'm presently on T-Mobile with my Hermes (contract expires in August). My assumption was that I'd have to transfer my existing number to a PAYG SIM, then back to my new phone.

However, on ordering it asked me if I'm an existing T-Mobile user (yes) and if I wanted to keep my number (yes). No request for PAC code.

I've not had email confirmation of dispatch. I've also had a text message from T-Mobile on my existing phone saying "Thank you for taking out an additional line with T-Mobile". Logging onto my t-mobile I see 2 numbers, but on the same account.

I'm assuming from this therefore that when my current contract expires and I can cancel that contract, I'll be able to migrate that number directly. Will have to wait and see though!

I rang t-mobile today, and the guy confirmed they are doing it, and have started advertising it on their staff website. He thinks it will be shipped later in June, or 1st week in July.
[G1 General] PlatinumMOTO:
So here I am thinking I have the best phone on the market and come to find out that my sister's LG Lotus can actually play videos when someone calls her.

A little video on the front of her phone plays when someone calls her and she has different videos set for everyone that calls her. But she's complaining that she can't set individual ringtones for each person's text message.

The G1 can do that with ringo pro so why not videos?

I'm sure there is way to make the G1 do it anybody have any idea?
[G1 General] Baldyman1966:
Why don't you e-mail the devs of Ringo pro and suggest this as a feature. I assume that they currently interupt the nomal ringing process to check who is ringing and play the assosiated tone so it wouldn't be a big step to play a video instead.

Personally, I'd rather drink vomit then have that on my phone, but hey :)
[G1 General] CBowley:
I agree.

I use to have a Nokia flip phone that use to play videos as ringtones. Cannot remember which one, but it was free when I first signed up for t-moble. It's one of those things that if you had, you wouldn't use it. (Unless your a 15 year old girl)

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] duffnut:
I think the android-dls wiki is wrong, because it suggests you should run adb in FASTBOOT mode.

There is no ADB in FASTBOOT mode.

Commands involving ADB need to be run from your computer while the phone is fully booted.

Commands involving FASTBOOT need to be run from your computer while the phone is in FASTBOOT mode (hold down back+power when the phone is off).

I don't really want to mess with the wiki, but I suggest the owner should make that more obvious.

Hope this helps.

[XPERIA X1 General] stormlv:
That's weird. Do you have a cooked ROM?

Normally it should ask you where you want to install...
[XPERIA X1 General] ipporek:
Well, there are certain software do not ask. And there are certain software that do not work when installed on the SD.
[XPERIA X1 General] stormlv:
Well then, if there are programs that won't work from the SD...why would you want to force the install there :rolleyes: ?
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
You can install everything on the SD. The apps that need to be installed on the main memory will either display a message for you, or install directly to the memory.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cruzzade:
I have a question concidering the firmwares. Will HTC:s original/unbranded Magic firmware ever be released public or are we going to have to depend on the community extracting every firmware? Today it became clear that the swedish operator "Tre" has bought the right to Magic in sweden for the time being. Does this mean that a swedish wordlist/language won't ever happen for Magic unless using the Tre-branded firmware?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rommelin:
I can assume that if there is a Swedish firmware and people like Haykuro can get their hands on that ROM, they could extract the Swedish language and wordlist and include it in a custom build, like the ones they are building right now.

But i guess that they should be the ones confirming this ;)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim Coleman:
While using my TP2 with Tomtom as a satnav a couple of days back, I noticed the indicator light started flashing orange / green. It was in a cradle attached to the windscreen of the car and hooked up to cigaretter-lighter power. I took it off the cradle and blasted it for a few minutes with the air-conditioning and it stopped flashing and was alright for another half-hour or so, but then the flashing started again. I noticed that while the phone was flashing, the battery wasn't charging, so there was a danger it would run out, which would of course mean no more satnav.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? The TD2 does get pretty hot while being used for satnav.

With summer on the way, I think this problem is only going to get worse. Being in the windscreen, the phone gets a fair bit of heat from the sun, but my old standalone Tomtom Go never had overheating issues.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wheresmybeaver:
Similar thing used to happen with my Diamond as it was in direct sunlight in the car most the day. It wouldn't start flashing or anything, it would just stop charging. So I got a swivelling windscreen mounted car holder and positioned it right in front of one of the air vents. This always did the trick, especially when the air conditioning was on. Also, positioning it away from the sun is no harm.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim Coleman:
The interesting this is, this never used to be a problem with my old Touch Pro.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoozies:
I've got exactly the same problem today with my TD2 and iGO8 navigation. After half an hour the battery was extremly hot. I'm not using original HTC car charger.

Do you think that this could be the problem? Or the problem is on TD2 side :-(?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] band27:
My Diamond always gets hot when using Tomtom. So it least it's consistent with other HTC products. I've changed radios and roms but it never changed the temp. when using tomtom. Always hot for me.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim Coleman:
Weird that, the Touch Pro never suffered that problem. It's incredibly annoying because Tomtom drains the battery very quickly, so not being able to keep it charged from the cigarette lighter means it's gonna conk out in short order - you've got to notice it's not charging and then pull over so you can take it out of the cradle and blast it with the aircon. Bit of a bummer for people without aircon as well....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wheresmybeaver:
I might add, its important that you have a suitable car holder for your device. I used an adjustable generic holder with the squishy pads at the side for my old Diamond, and the back of the Diamond would lie flush to the holder (ie no gap at the back) This caused it to get pretty hot. So I invested in holder specifically for the Diamond that had no cushions. Also, it didn't completely wrap around the Diamond, allowing a bit of air flow. See here. Much better temperatures as a result.

iGo8 in particular is CPU intensive, so that'll cause heat. TomTom is a little bit less CPU sensitive so temps may be lower. Also, battery life is less with iGo 8.

And of course make sure unnecessary features such as WiFi are turned off whilst in the car holder. WiFi being active used to generate buckets of heat on my Diamond.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoozies:
I have ordered Brodit car holder for my TD2 - this one - and I will place it near aircon fan in my car. Hope this will help ...
