I once had a device and when I applied the screen protector I hated it. It improved sunlight visibility by refracting the light, unfortunately this made it harder to read fine print on the screen. I also couldn't remove the protector and was stuck with it. Another one I had tried before that one which was removable, reduced sensitivity too much.

Those are reasons not use one. But as long as the available protectors can be removed in case you don't like them, then it's worth trying them out. That way you don't risk your screen unecessarily.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] DJ Palmis:
That's right! I use it and it's better than the one that HTC gives us: I have a new one because it was removed while in my pocket.. But now I'm happier! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] petoniano:
I´m using touchscreen phones for many years (since my first PALM :rolleyes: ) and i´ve noticed that the new screens are much more resistent. I think that you loose quality if you use a screen protector.

Just don´t put your phone in the same pocket that coins, keys,... and use it´s cover when putting it in a bag.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] solsearch:
one other advantage with a phone like this should you choose not to use a screen protector is that since the phone has such a large screen and it's so touch optimized you won't get as much wear and tear on the common points of contact (like the "e" on the onscreen keyboard).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Black Phoenix:
I use Proporta Screen Protectors. After I had used then in my Asus P535 I do not want another brand. They protect very well the screen, they were washable and also doesn't change too much the sensation of the touch with the pen or even with fingers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] mcspikesky:
I dont use one for a few reasons. I dont put my TP2 in any pocket with coins etc. I am pretty careful with it.

Although most importantly im insured on it, accidental damage w/ no excess to when the time comes it gets a bit dodgy ill smash it up and get a new one. If ive still got the TP2 when my contract runs out/upgrade ill probably wap a screen protector on then.

I can't find Crystal Clear type for HTC TP2 - what you think when it will be available?

And how easy to remove it - if I will not like it?

I heard so opinion, that if I don't use screen protectors very soon all my screen will be full of small scratches, even I will use it with care and alltime in case. If someone have so experience?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] LRC:
:D i have put the original one, I find these good i purchased another 2 protectors(for safety:-) )

from the manufactor (Komsa/HTC) 6,00€ @Am*z*n
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Paulplex:
I fall into that camp: the case I've ordered from eBay supposedly has a free screen protector coming with it though, so I'll be sure to be more careful when lining it up this time :rolleyes:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Palndrm12:
I also do not use a screen protector but I am very careful with the device and never put it in my pocket with keys or coins.

I used my Titan for about a year without a protector and wasn't careful with it and there are some scratched from keys and coins but when I turn the screen on I can't see them at all.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] |Blitzkrieg|:
I'm not using one at present. The supplied protector was just the tiniest bit too big and refused to apply correctly. So instead I bought a nice case, and I'm being ultra careful with it :shrug:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Rickster08:
at my mall there is a zagg kiosk they installed the all around body protector and screen protector for 35 bucks...I like it ...gives the body a nice shiny glossy finish plus the protector is great!! feels rubbery...but great easy to touch still!!:)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] d0ugie:
I've been getting by with Flexmail with its imap idle to email using my server but I'd like to see if it's possible to get Apache or any httpd working I suppose in conjunction with an MTA like postfix and an IMAP server like dovecot to trick a WinMo phone into thinking it's getting its mail fed to it by a Linux machine (over https) in a way it can understand. Might save me some juice but I'm just up for a challenge and could use your help. Even if just for receiving mail...

So, might one be able to set up apache to have some kind of an ActiveSync directory to get the phone interacting with it when you try to add the host on the phone?

If that's doable, how could one configure the rest of server's mail daemons to work in a way that's Microsoft-esque as far as the phone's concerned? Or are other daemons not even involved, just httpd?

Lastly, and I've spent hours (but a long time ago) trying to do this with no success but with an actual Exchange server, is it possible, regardless of this linux stuff, to tweak a winmo phone not to care about domain/host certificate validation and just sync away over https (I believe activesync only does push over https, not http, though regular non push works over http)? All I could find were obsolete cert tricks that worked with wm5.

How's that for a challenge!

I know my way around Linux and Apache and if we could figure this one out (maybe Xandros?), well, wouldn't that be badass?

As title really, how do I do it? If I go into edit contact, I have one space for their number and I cant see anyway of adding more?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dayzee:
MAGIC user but give this a try -

go to contact. LOng press on contact - choose edit contact.

in Phone numbers section at the end of the number you already have, should be a green plus and red minus. Pressing the green plus allows you to add another number I think. Pressing the minus deletes a full number.

I'm on a roll !! Daisy xxx
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barryallott:
I believe you edit a contact. then when in the edit screen, there is a button labeled 'Add' 'add more information' (at the bottom)

This allows you to add more phone numbers
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaabrysz:
You better have all the contacs in the phone memory and not on your sim card then you can edit them and add more info :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Jones:
Just got my Hero and I am loving it!

But how do I use my own MP3's as ringtones and notifications?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dayzee:
I keep answering these Q's on the basis that I'm pretty sure the Hero will behave like The Magic as its the closest cousin and also runs Android 1.5 so

Try this - on the root of your SD card you need to make a folder structure the same as on the device itself. Media folder with Audio folder inside. Audio folder with alarms, notifications and ringtones inside.

Media/Audio/alarms

Media/Audio/notifications

Media/Audio/ringtones

and put files you want to use for each of those in there and they *should* then show in the list that comes up for those functions.

I think mp3 are fine for all of those, but alarm and notification seem to be mostly .ogg files so if you have an easy converter, might be worth converting. I think I converted the main one I use for my alarm to ogg using WMP11

And having said all that, simply long holding on a music file will usually allow you to set it as a ringtone, wherever you store it on your SD.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dayzee:
Hey, cool to feel like an expert for a bit til the wizz kids take over. I'm killing time waiting for my Hero....

Actually, you can find most of these answers in the Sapphire forums or Dream forums as they are mostly Android 1.5 questions rather than device specific. Perhaps the mods should have an Android Forum since loads of stuff is duplicated and triplicated between the three android devices.... :)

and that's only my hundredth post - so really, I'm the noob... LOL
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Jones:
Thanks for the help, but it's not working for me.

I have created Media\Audio\notifications as you suggested and put an MP3 in there, but I dont see it in my notification sounds list.

In what specific way am I being thick!?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dayzee:
For short stuff like alarms and notifications, they might need to be .ogg so you may need to convert for them to show up.

LOL You are a pioneer since most of us don't have a Hero device to try anything as yet :)

In my settings for the magic I also have a choice in Sound and display to check Sd Card Notifications, and I'm not sure if that's what is needed - and of course - I have a magic not a Hero so it could be totally different... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Jones:
Right, I got it working. Possibly by enabling those SD Card notifications. I did restart the phone as well. Either way, its working!

Thank you for your efforts in helping!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dayzee:
Oooh restart rings a bell, actually - I recall that possibly was something I had to do on the Magic before the files appeared in the lists!!

Cool. Nice Teamwork :) If this keeps up I'll have solved all my own potential probs before I even get my Hero :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeadManDan:
Also confirmed ...

a combination of enabling SD notifications (off by default) creating folder structure exactly as it appears ( case sensitive) and transferring files over and a reboot for good measure - these now appear in ringtone and more importantly under notifications.

filetypes tested - mp3, wav and ogg - all appeared.

Thanks for the advice !

:cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Switchbitch:
I found that just creating a /notifications folder on the SD card worked fine. Didn't need to reboot or anything.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heppieboeddah:
Search for RingDroid in the Market. It finds all youre mp3's on the sd-card. Then you can open youre fav mp3, shorten it and save it and make it youre ringtone or notification tone
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Jones:
So, another little question, specific to HTC Mail app. Is it possible to change the notification sound for HTC Mail specifically? I havent found a way yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixpackbud:
You will find it under settings in the mail application
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Jones:
I can select in there whether or not there is a sound at all, but not which specific sound. Unless I am missing something...

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samos69:
Thanks Dayzee, your post helped me out!

The Jones - I believe the HTC mail app uses the default Android notification tone you set in the usual place.

Sam
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Jones:
Hmm, thanks for confirming that. Shame, slightly annoying actually, I want a different sound for incoming work emails. The sound of me not reading them usually!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Switchbitch:
I agree that it is odd not to be able to select a custom notification for the HTC email app. In fact all notification events should be grouped together somewhere for control and customisation.

Plenty scope for improvement in that area though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suisen:
speaking of sounds, my alarm is horribly low volume, even though i set both ringer and notification sounds to max....ahm, what am i missing?

huh, 2-3h later discovered that when picking out alarm sound, volume rocker is used to set alarm volume....kinda silly to hide it like that :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dayzee:
I'm really missing a notifications app in general that will allow me to choose loits of different things like colour of light, tune/tone etc for various functions.

There's an app called Missed Call that allows you to choose colour for SMS flashing notification and for missed calls and I think bluetooth but not much else.

Would be FABULOUS to set a few personal contacts to have their own indicator colour :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Jones:
Gosh, 1 hour with the Hero and 2 questions. Here is one of them.

How do I sync contacts only from My Contacts in GMail and not All Contacts?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dayzee:
What's the reason to want to do that?

If its space, really not a problem in my experience.

If its just because they get in the way, there are settings to show ALL or FAVE or JUST THOSE WITH PHONE NUMBERS etc

Remember that they are stored on the web anyway, so really simple to swap the views. I have all my contracts synced including a huge number of email contacts, but I don't see them all when I go to contacts as I've got it set to show just Phone contacts.

When I write a mail, as I type an address it shows in the :to section searching and refining as I type - I don't even notice.

If I'm searching all, I can also bring up keyboard and press a letter to get contacts with that letter in the same way, or fast scrolll at the edge by going to midd, top or bottom to show that part of the alphabet.

That said, I think you can only sync all contacts, but could be wrong.

Dayz
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Jones:
In the People app, I only want to see My Contacts, not all contacts. Hmm, not sure thats possible. It doesn't actually show which group things are in at all it seems.

My question is, which service should I look into to allow guests to put in their city and see the icon corresponding to the weather, as well as icons of upcoming weather inside their calendar. I remember seeing links to services that provide this information and can be read to show the appropriate icons. I would appreciate any assistence. Thank You!

ClimaCell Weather API

I have used ClimaCell for more than 10 projects and its very easy to use and scalable.

To address your requirement have a look at their widgets. They have pretty cool widgets/icons to embed in any mobile/web app.

Also their forecast includes

1. Real Time

2. Current

3. Daily

4. Weekly

5. Monthly

6. Yearly

7. Custom

Hope it would be better to share it with you.

I've sort of set up my Hero to my exchange server. I only seem to be able to sync my inbox, no other folders or sub folders. Anybody any ideas ?

Also, I don't seem to get a data connection via wifi. exchange fails, no internet when wifi but fine on H etc ?

Steve

TD2 - on the bench

Hero - hmmmm
[Hero, G2 Touch General] herman3101:
If you go into the mail app and then press menu-->more-->settings and change "download past mail" to all. If you then go into a folder with emails and press menu-->refresh it will download the email in that folder.

PS. This is my second hero, on the first all the emails were just there in all the folders but no idea what I did differently. It's possible that the only reason I'm having to press refresh is because the phone hasn't had a chance to download everything already.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stevep999:
Hi H

Tried that, still only does inbox. None of the additional folders or subfolders. Also only syncs via data, won't sync via wifi ? ?

Looks like the TD2's coming back out
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cbailey:
Exactly the position I was in and now the Kaiser is back out :o
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stevep999:
Also is it my phone or does it make you do everything on data ? No wonder everyone wants BIG data bundles. The calender doesn't seems as good either. Looks like the TD2 may come back out and O get the Android back.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cbailey:
Steve,

that is exactly how I thought. Everything seemed to need net access. I achieve exactly the same things I need with a current zero data bundle and winmob, yep zero! I have a max per day capped usage.

I sync locally via usb, if net access is needed, the it is controllable, ie, you choose when to log on. On the Hero, it all seems far too integrated and virtually everything you do needs it. So it's either perm wifi or a large data bundle. O got my Hero back.

That section gets a serious thumbs down from me.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ritdaw:
Mine syncs with me doing a refresh in the individual folders....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stevep999:
I can't believe there is so little integration with exchange. It only see's the inbox despite lots of refreshes. Its a really disappointing feature.

Gonna give it a day or so then it looks like it's going back - shame.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] piye:
Hi guys,

I have looked for this problem on site hoping to find a solution to no avail! Today I installed the energy ROM on my touch pro (UK Tmobile), and since doing this whenever I connect it to the missing sync (I have a macbook) the device connects as usual but will no longer sync!

I have also tried to sync via my Windows XP based PC again the device is recognized but will not sync.

With regards to the missing sync when I press the sync button it shows that it has synced straight away without anything actually happening.

When I first had the device it synced perfectly with no hassle.

I don't use missing sync (have windows 7 running via vmware fusion :D ) but try going to settings-system-USB Settings and disable "Enable faster data synchronization" and see if that helps out.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Wintermoonlight:
hey everyone, i am new to the site and to my Touch diamond, but not new to flashing as i have done my psp.

anyway, on several psp websites they have written walkthroughs saying how to do the more complicated things and have listed different firmwares and their various features. i was wondering if anyone could do one for me? as there are thousands of different threads each saying things and it is getting confusing along with all this new jargon i need to learn.

my phone, Touch Diamond, (was locked to T-mobile (UK) but before coming here i went to a shop to get it unlocked for orange) the touch flo 3d is pink and the background is only personalised on the home screen.

my aims for my phone is to get an easy to control, good looking interface that is customisable and does not affect how different programs are run on it.

i have read various things about skinning the touchflo interface and manila is mentioned and was just wondering do you have to flash to whatever manila is and what is the easiest way to do this and how do i know it is definitely compatible with everything?

any help will be greatly appreciated :)

Hello all, I got a O2 XDA EXEC in post today which I bought off Ebay for £30 which only ended up having a scratched screen! I have installed radio ROM 0.00.00 and then used Buzz's unlocker twice which said it unlocked but doesent take my Vodafone sim which is all I have at the moment. I then installed radio ROM 1.18 hopeing it will work but it dident!

So I decided to install Tomal's - v8.2: WM6.1 Pro havent had a good look at it yet but looks good!.

If anyone can tell me a way of getting this Vodafone sim to work that would be great!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] davideuck:
Hi,

you have to remove the sim and switch the airplane mode OFF BEFORE the entire procedure. Remember to soft reset the device after running the Buzz unlock tool, so, these are the steps, flash the radio 0.00.0, soft reset, run the tool and wait the succesful message, soft reset and wait that it switch-on, NOW remove the battery, insert your sim and switch on again. In this way it must work, I've unlocked 3 universal with that tool.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ronnie5:
Hello davideuck, That was the way I tried it but tried it 3 times again with no joy, The radio searches for a few seconds then comes up with no service.
