Ive accidently droped my touch hd and scratched the back face thats under the battery cover. ive purchased a new cover but i have not got a clue on how easy/hard it is to replace. does anyone have any knowledge as ive searched everywhere and theres no information on changing it anywhere
[Touch HD Accessories] homer285:
Its very easy, you either need the plastic tool or you can use a finger nail and Insert it between the housing and Antenna cover to release the hooks, no force is needed what-so-ever. Anyway if you do a search there's a service manual floating around the forums with detailed step by step guides.

My HD deletes all emails in my inbox after 4 or 5 days, the sent folder does not seem affected. This is frustrating as I need to access older emails and would quite happily keep them on the memory for 6 months or so. I cant find the setting which stops the inbox being deleted....or at least allows me to do it manually.

Any help?

Cheers

[Touch HD General] ozmoran:
Both answers above are correct, also it does depend on what email your using whether your syncing with exchange server or just POP3 mail

If you delete email from a gmail, yahoo etc it will also be deleted from your phone as it is synced, check your options and look at keeping a copy on server when deleted.

other option is to create a folder in your email account and copy paste emails to that folder
[G1 General] BlazinGTI:
First of all I just want to say WOW what an insightful and creative community you guys got going on around here. A lot of smart people on these boards. Thanks for the resources you guys provide to make having a cell phone into a hobby.

I have just successfully rooted my phone after hours of deduction and have flashed RC33 and a radio ending with 1.1. I've spent about 4 hours getting to this point and still feel behind the game. What motivated me to do this was the Official Hero Rom in the Android Development Thread and that is my ultimate goal insofar.

However, now that I've done this I don't want to take any unnecessary risks. I've used the dandy search feature and done hours of research as well as lurk on here since the launch of the G1 when I picked up the phone on launch day. I know about all of the informative links and they're great and I've reviewed them thoroughly but am still fuzzy on a few things.

I've read that there are different types of SPL's some brick and some don't. Please correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding of an SPL is that it is basically the update.zip file in my SD card. Currently that is a build of RC33 in my card along with recovery.img. For some reason I feel that this is not all as far as an SPL is concerned. If someone can concisely clarify this for me that would be great.

Also before I jump on Hero, what is a good cupcake ROM around here that is stable and not lacking many features that can easily be blinged out with one of the awesome themes you've got floating around here. I'm open to all enthusiastic suggestions. What tips do you guys have for me to move up to one of those?

I have not even begun to delve into App2SD or Nandroid but am getting a clearer image as to what they are and how they function. Any helpful tidbits on the two subjects would also be greatly appreciated, however they are not my main concern immediately.

Again thanks guys I've got work in about three hours now lol so I'm going to get some shut eye however I'll be back tomorrow. Soon, I hope to contribute to what you guys have got going on.
[G1 General] daveid:
Unfortunately your hours of deduction did not lead you to this thread. Which has a link to this thread. Which has definitions, two I am posting here:

Which links you to a greater explanation of what the SPL is.

[General Questions and Answers] 2Rude:
I'm not sure if this is were I'm supposed to ask, but it seems to be the most suitable place. :p

Anyway, are there any Music Identifiers for WM that are actually good for WM6? I had MusicID but it sucked IMHO. And on top of that it won't work on my Omnia anymore for some reason.

So basically, I just want to know if there are any good ones like Midomi, or if there's some in development for WM6. Please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

musicid just to be great, but now it doesnt really seem to work :(

an alternative would be cool
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shure2:
I can only give my opinion from my ownership of the TP2 for a week. Previous to this the last smartphone I owned was an SPV e200 with WM2003.

Music Playback:

Fantastic, has plenty of base but not too much - coupled with a good pair of headphones I see no reason for a regular user to need another mp3 player. The TP2 also has a very loud and clear speakerphone (obviously important for conference calling using their 'Straight Talk' technology. The interface for the music player is nice, and all skinned using TP3d.

'Pocketability':

The TP2 is thinner than the Omnia HD I believe, but it is farly fat. Although it is not as fat as I expected, and roughly the same size as the k850i I had. It will definately show through skinny jeans, depending on how skinning you go you will struggle with any phone! I personally don't find it a problem in my pocket.

Screen:

I think the OLED on the Samsung will trump the TP2 here, the TP2 screen is great: 480x800 resolution, but will not match the brightness and contrast of the OLED screen.

Battery:

Very impressed with the battery life of the TP2, it will easily last 2 days with moderate use (web 3h, music 1, texting 30min). This is set to probably improve as others have with the wm6.5 update - so possibly looking towards 3 days on average use.

Keyboard:

If you don't want it or won't use it then its extra fat in your pocket, but I can say that it is fantastic, I picked it up not using a phone keyboard before and could instantly use it. From what I have read there aren't many keyboards if any that will beat it.

Apps:

Quite a few for WM, and will increase with the Marketplace launch.

3.5 Jack:

Mini USB to 3.5 is required which is a slight pain, but doesn't really make much of a difference for me.

Is the Omnia 2 even released yet? I advise going to a vodaphone shop and trying the TP2 and Omnia 2 when they are out, I had incredibly high hopes for the TP2 and still it surpassed them when I got it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shure2:
by chance have you come across the HTC Hero, I think this might be more appropriate for you (the screen isn't quite the high resolution or size of the others, but still good).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] division36:
Heya shure2,

Thanks for your opinion. Bang on too.

Btw : :confused:

'Pocketability': The TP2 is thinner than the Omnia HD I believe, but it is farly fat. You mean Tp2 is narrower and fatter? I thought the Omnia HD was nicely thin.

Guess for the moment the main contention for me is the fatty fatty boom formfactor of the Tp2. Otherwise Im all sold. Think I need to head out to the brick and mortars and try pocketing it there. I used to have a Nokia E61/71 and althought wide it wasnt so thick. Now been with the HTC Touch and its goes around great in skinnies. Ok enough about skinny jeans!

Screen: Like I said, if its still better than good on the Tp2 one gets used to what one has. Cant have everything now.

As for the battery, yes it is impressive getting three days for all that usage.

For the keyboard, like I said, I would start using it more and more once the phone takes over all email and messaging.

HTC Hero, well first thing its Android. Still would wait a year before trying out an Android phone. Second, the screen is smaller. I am targeting my next phone to be atleast 3.5' screen.

Well the Omnia 2 is listed as coming in two weeks at a webshop here in Amsterdam.

Interestingly, if I finally get the Tp2, Id have to pay 40 euro less than the Omnia HD on a 1 year contract. Though if the Touch HD didnt have those graphics issues, wouldnt that be the phone for moi! :)

Thanks again dude!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] driekus:
What about the Diamond 2?

If you're sold on the pro 2 except for it's fatness and not really looking for a hardware keyboard, why not broaden your horizon and check out the Diamond 2? Not much more left out but the speakerphone function, I think.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] division36:
But isnt the Diamond2 with a 3.2" screen?..

I do want to watch vids on a big screen. Also reading a lot of the reviews hereon, people saying the Tp2 performs a lot better than the Diamond2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Paul_2222:
sounds like you want the Touch HD to me check out the specs

Regards, Paul
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
as a proud owner of both the tp2 and samsung omnia HD this is my opinion:

samsung omnia HD:

i have unbranded it to remove orange uk identity. screen is huge and very vibrant. music playback is very impressive but sound in video playback is seriously muted. camera takes amazing shots in bright light but led light not good enough for night time photos. video capture is impressive - HD 1278x720 and looks amazing on your tele through tv out. the biggest let down is the audio quality on vid playback. choppy at best but new firmware due soon with new audio codec. battery life aint the best at all maybe 1.5 days on minimal use. multimedia wise this phone hammers the tp2 but alas thats the only department it wins on. thats why these 2 phones can quite happily live together!

HTC Touch Pro2

now this is where i get accused of being a fanboy but the phone is that good. screen is smaller but on par with omnia HD on res and vibrancy. both however don't perform very well when viewed in direct sunlight. there the tp2 fairs a tad better as the omnia HD screen is not visible at all in direct sunlight even if you cup your hand round screen. tp2 has got XDA as support and that in my book is the killer blow. tf3d actually works well and well manila is what it is. we all know what winmo does and the tp2 does all of it well and takes it to another level. i am getting 2.5 to 3 days of battery depending on use even from 96% charge(:D) tp2 feels good ion the hand and looks too good to be a HTC branded device. seriously HTC have outdone themselves here. must say don't like winmo 6.1 on this device as i think winmo 6.5 will bring out the devil in this device.

conclusion:

for multimedia purposes you can use the samsung omnia HD as that what symbian is all about but for overall everyday performance with adequate multimedia functions its gotta be tp2! it all depends on what aspect of the device is more important to the buyer!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
Well my opinion is that go for TP2 definetly!

One thing to add, appart from what all have said is that if you go for omnia you won´t have the great support from this site!:D

And that fact is a super plus at least form me!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Bxsteez:
The Omnia Pro hasn't be released yet has it? I don't think this question can even be answered until people get their hands on the device. From my experience Specs mean next to nothing its all about software optimization. Look at the TP and the TP2. They both have same processing speed and i believe the same amount of RAM but the TP2 is a hell of a lot faster.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
he's talking bout omnia HD which is available. runs s60 5th edition software :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shure2:
The TP2 is quite thin, but for some reason in this sentance I was refering to the HTC HD :S, not sure on the width of the omnia HD. Although TP2 is a bit fatty bom batty its quite slim width wise, which is better than being wide and skinny imo.

Something that is not always brought up in reviews of the TP2 is how frigin awersome the build and aesthetics are, it looks really expensive with chrome parts and sleek lines. I would be surprised if you put them both side by side and asked a mate with no phone knowledge to pick the best one and he picked the omnia hd - it just wouldn't happen imo. Again you can only experience this when you get it in hand.

I spent £453 on this sim free - crazy for a phone I know, but concidering its a PDA, mp3 player, video player, web browser, gps device, camera and lets not forget an awesome phone, I think its worth it.

Its only going to get better as well with wm6.5 support and hopefully some cooked roms on this awesome place.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] division36:
Yeah actually intrinsically it does sound like the HTC HD would be the device for me except that some issue with its 3D drivers not being there at all vs the Tp2 having much better performance vid playback wise.

I only know the above from what I've read on these forums. Somehow the Tp2 plays better video than the Touch HD. What is that all about?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] division36:
You absolutely right!. There is no hacking knowledgebase for Symbian like there will be for the Tp2!. Very valid point you making there :) .. Super sooper plus indeed :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] division36:
Hmm.. Guess I just need to check one out in real for making my mind up. Make that swiping my card and taking one home!. Good points you make, in that deal you getting a lot of bang for your buck, if it keeps you occupied 10 hours a day or sort.. . worth it it will be I'd say!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] division36:
You sum it up so well when you say everyday performance with adequate multimedia functions. I guess the top multimedia performer would be the iphone, though I havent yet had one in the flesh to certify.

The one thing that niggles me about the Omnia Hd is the Symbian OS. Software support for it seems to be rather dead. Xept for the odd twitter or facebook clients. Dont know why that would be.

The battery issue is a real winner for the Tp2 then. Imagine going on a plane trip for 15 hours and still having a phone when you land in at your destination while watching vids and perusing ur music in lounges and at gates. Important aspect for me. I have not been using my phone for data and I want to change that with my next phone.

Tomorrow going out to the shops and trying out the Tp2 for real.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] division36:
Just found out that Tmobile have launched their TMobile Vario 5, which is basically the TP2 with a 4GB memory card. Wonder if they branded anything in there. My contract needs another two weeks to renewal so I just have to wait, impatiently!....

I am totally sold the Tp2 is the way to go. And again, xda-developers being there would make sure that there be a lot of future firmware changes to keep it performing by leaps and bounds. !

Cant wait to get my hands on one. Thanks all you guys who contributed. Some very relevant pointers to help this confused worrisome.

Cheers!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Bxsteez:
I sit corrected :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
to be honest iphone 3g aint as you still restricted as to what you can use on there. no opera or flash or skyfire etc. UI and touch is amazing barr none the best out there. the others are catching up and tp2 is proof of that! iphone battery aint the best either mate and the current restrictions to one service provider means you need iphone devs ultrasn0w to free your iphone 3g up! iphone does what it does very well - the apps available are immense but limited to apple if ya get ma drift. everything runs through apple servers which is worrying to say the leaset! symbian os support is out there on sites like mobiles24 and mobilecastle........told you i was phone mad!:D these sites however are nothing like XDA so tp2 wins hands down!
[P3600 Software Upgrading] coloco:
I used to be able to share my Trinity's net connection with my computer using Internet Sharing over Bluetooth PAN, and it was working well- 2x faster d/l speed than WMWifiRouter and with less drain on the battery.

But I wanted USB sharing , which didn't work under WM5 so i flashed a WM6 ROM under the naive assumption that a Microsoft upgrade would actually improve things... Then found out , to much wailing and gnashing of teeth, that not only does USB sharing still not work (I'm on a Mac), but that Bluetooth PAN Internet sharing also doesn't work under normal WM6 :mad:. It goes online for a few minutes then the carrier drops the connection... I guess that something in WM6 tells the carier (vodafone) that I'm tethering and disconnects me.

WMWifiRouter still works, but with the same high drain on the battery.

So, USB internet sharing is out for Mac, and the only option under WM6 is WMWifiRouter, which is too inefficient.

I' d rather have the old Bluetooth PAN functionality, which was twice as fast as WMWFR for some reason.

Do i need to go back to WM5, is this safe to do, or is there an alternative WM6 ROM with the issue fixed?

I searched the forum for hours but cannot find a clear solution.

Thanks for your time.

Do you see graphic smileys in your Diamond2 SMS tab? I only see textual smileys, and HTC support said the only solution is to install a 3rd party program.

If none of you can see graphic smileys, what are you using to see them?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] xxpto:
This post is not related with graphic smiles but as it is related with sms i will post it here and avoid several threads.

It happens frequently that when I switch on the display I receive de alert sound of a new sms. The sms was received before, sometimes a long time before but the alert sound only sounds when the display is switched on.

Anyone having the same problem?

You mean the "flip album" interface in the "people" tab? Post a link to what you're referring to.

If that is what you mean, then just tap on the + button and add a favorite contact. This is a place you can store favorite contacts, ones that already exist in your contact list. Once you tap the + button, you can select a picture, etc.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] bokechukwu1:
In this you tube link youll see it at exactly 2:18 where you see a pic for every message in the contacts card threaded text messaging screen it just looks really cool and was wondering how you get it to show up, though it is a touch pro 2 in the you tube link they have the same type of interface on htc website diamond 2 preview I provided the link to that as well under the you tube link, youll see it on the very first slide "A more Personal Way to Contact"
