How many pockets does the average person have? Well i know i always have loadz and the phone could be in a multitude of pockets but generally in my chest pocket next to my heart, anyway so i'm out in town with my tusty Nokia Ringo "yes i feel old" feeling the ol bladder kicking in decided i have to go to them horrible town toilets "we all know what they like" :( anyway sprinklin away finish and force of habbit flush the toilet only to hear a splash very similar to taking a dump, look down and oh my god the Ringo is drinking toilet water "well i'd have love to have left it" but just purchased so had to get it you can imagine whats going through my mind? @ least i flushed before lol so i get it out and put under the hair dryer think i must have spent a good hour, didn't turn the phone on for about 3 days, to my suprise when turned on it worked, only for me to be moving away about 6 weeks later for work to get to my destination and find i'm in a city with no working mobile and no explanantion as to why it didn't work? Untill phone the x and find out that orange juice was the culprit "never spent so much money on payphones" but alls good many years later i have a Tilt and am happy :)

Something similar happened to me a while ago with my motorola star tac...

I flushed first then took it off and of course it was dead...:eek:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdziegi:
I got a G1 from t-mobile and it was giving me problems. I had done a warrenty exchange and the new one they gave me was randomly typing numbers and letters by itself. for example 5u4i33333333333333 ect. I thought by trying to achieve hero rom that it would maybe fix the problem. Now I have trouble even getting the phone started because when i press the power button it blinks a white screen from the bootloader with the android guy on the skateboard. It just blinks even when i hold it. I got it once to get into recovery mode and when i try to go into bootloader. it wont load the rc29 file. Please if anyone has any ideas what i could do to get it back to the original g1 software. that would be great. thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Psinok:
I have just taken in my hand my new Topaz and have already a question.

I have succesfully installed and tested Skype on my phone and it works! Now, looking on the available fields in the contacts, I've found the IM, IM2 and IM3 fields. AFAIK these are the Instant Messenger ids, so theoretically i could put in the skype ids, or not!? :confused:

The first question is: how can I tell the system that my first (second or third) IM program is skype?

Focus on skype, what is the id to put in the IM field? Is it only the user id or the whole user name?

And then ...? It would be great to have in TF3D a "IM" icon, in order to activate skype (or another installed IM tool). I filled the IM fields with skype user ids, but in TF3D there is no IM contact. Can I set the phone to show IM contacts and activate the installed IM program? .. I hope so!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Psinok:
Hi,

really no suggestions at all? Neither a small info about the IM field usage?

Thanks anyway
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ipaqxman:
can u tell me when u call with skype, does the sound still come from the loud speaker? instead of the earphone?
[XPERIA X1 General] informatico:
I opened this thread because i really want to know what you other guys think about the new visual changes of WM 6.5. I personally think they are ugly and there is very little innovation in it. so basically most of things are increased in size ...When i saw for the frst time the mods i thought they were done by some registry change. if you compare it what HTC has done graphically is very very little i think. MS wants to make wm finger friendly by increasing the size of the graphic objects and dont care even if they look well or are aligned.

opinios are welcome
[XPERIA X1 General] SyntheticDistortion:
Agh who cares about the standard 6.5 home screen, everone has TouchFlo anyway...which is waaay better:cool:
[XPERIA X1 General] spikegotti:
i think 6.5 home is sexy, especially with the few themes made by some devs here on xda, i cant wait til seus give us 6.5(thats if)
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
i like the titanium home screen much more than TouchFlo
[XPERIA X1 General] informatico:
well the home wasnt my point actually i mean those new windows and those giant notifications ... sooo ugly ...
[XPERIA X1 General] hatski:
I agree with you, I thought that was a bug with my rom or it wasn't 'cooked' properly. I think MS have a long way to go to match the IPhone and various other touch phone interfaces.
[XPERIA X1 General] harveydent:
Why? .
[XPERIA X1 General] WhyBe:
I think you guys are expecting WM7 features to be in WM6.5. That's just not the case. What I've seen (in the betas) isn't bad, but, definitely does not compete with next-gen smartphone OS'es (yet). I wouldn't judge WM6.5 until it is released.

I think the eye-candy element is only part of making a GUI and OS great. What else helps is refinement, speed and stability.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] chrisli:
Hello,

i own a HTC Magic with a 32B board.

I've tried the nk02 and CyanogenMod Rom's now, but with these Roms i got the feeling, everything is damn slow.

Now, i'm looking for a Rom with Root...nothing else. No Hero/Rosie/Whatever adjusting. I just want a Rom which is optimized for SPEED, not for 'good looking'.

Any suggestions for a 32B board?

Thank you.

Sorry for my bad englisch.

hi everyone ,i have bettercut ,but i just flashed hero rom jachero.its not working with it .does any one know of a app that will change icons in hero ?
[G1 Apps and Games] nickmgray:
I think we might be out of luck for changing Hero icons. The Rosie interface is a Home replacement so anything that would be able to do it (bettercut or any other icon replacement app) would have to be coded for Rosie support. I've searched around and not been able to find anything.

I've been using this for a week now and it's a great improvement on 7. However it doesn't work with WM6.5 (it probably won't be supported until 6.5 is officially released).

I've taken it off, everything's much nicer now, colors pop out much more than they did. The question is - I've heard that with the D1, even the stylus would inflict scratches... is HD any different?
[Touch HD General] ibsa03:
from what has been commented here on this forum a couple of months ago is that the blackstone would scratch also, with as little as stylus usage.. dont know if anyone put it to the test, but thats what has been said atleast.
[Touch HD General] gjpax:
yes iv scratched mine with the stylus

i would recomend using a screen protector
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
I am going to go out on a limb here and say that the screen protector you took off was well used? Every time I replace my screen protector I notice a huge difference but there isn't a big difference between the raw screen and the "new" screen protector
[Touch HD General] cytokine:
Yeah indeed. Going to put another one tommorow, after just 3 days without a screen protector I've started noticing very tiny and thin scratches on the surface, from just using the stylus.
[Touch HD General] Insane Devil:
Cytokine,

Get a good quality screen protector. The ones on eBay being sold for $1.00-$7-8.00 are not that good at all.

The best screen protectors are of the following brands:

1. Boxwave - www.boxwave.com

2. Javoedge - www.javoedge.com

3. a few more that i cant recollect.

I use the first 2 companies, and they have been the best so far, no problems at all! very thin and very clear.
[Touch HD General] turcomora:
I have had numerous shields on and one decided to bare back it. I never use anything other then my finger on my screen so no scratches on screen at all. On my other HD stylus did scratch screen. No nail just finger and I still have perfect screen.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Threads already exist regarding this issue and overwhelmiong response was that screen portection was required unless you want scratches

I want to install new ROM to HTC HD,, with new manila.

and about

What do you think? which one is better and less buggy? Because on my Touch PRO i am using Energy ROM. But HD is my father's phone. And he do not want to have some wrong, not working and buggy phone :/

TNX for help :)
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
my friend, please read the user experiences in the ROM threads and then you can decide which one you want to try. what works for me, might not work for you. :). fyi, the moderators will likely close your thread because "ROM recommendation threads" are against the rules. good luck and have fun flashing!! ;)
[Touch HD General] abdullah1982:
well i would suggest manila 2.1 at the moment as 2.5 is still buggy. GO for Miri's rom. its close to a stock rom. battery life is good and far less bugs

energy rom looks more beautiful,fast but also remember that it consumes more battery

[Hero, G2 Touch General] bigbamboo5:
I'm a bit dim, it seems - sorry to ask, but I have set up my Outlook to sync with my Gmail account and although it shows on the Gmail page on my laptop browser, ever though I select that calendar on the phone, nothing happens.

I am obviously doing something slightly silly, but I assumed the problems would be in OTA syncing of contacts (Outlook --> Gmail account --> Hero) and I haven't even attempted that yet!

Many thanks for your help, in advance.

:)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] KaidM:
Hi Bigbamboo5

I am trying out an application / service called GooSync that allows you to have over the air synchronisation of calendar and contacts with your WM device.

I am unsure if there is a "free way" that you can carry out an over the air sync with google to WM devices (without restrictions) but if there is then I would be interested in finding out.

Best wishes

Kaid
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bigbamboo5:
Interesting, although their website doesn't show the Hero as being supported. Can you let us know what you think, if you get it working?

Nuevasync

Hi,

You might wanna look into nuevasync.com, it's a free service which I used on my ipod touch before I got my.

Now since I have everything centralized in my google calendar I don't have the need for the service anymore.

Nuevasync was always stable for me and is easy to set up.

Good luck
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bigbamboo5:
Well, I also have everything centralised in my Google calendar but I can't seem to get that to sync with my Hero. I should be able to, right? Thank you for your suggestion, by the way... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] TheBrit:
Yes you should. Mine does - no problem. You should not need to use 3rd party software.:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bigbamboo5:
Can you please assume that I am an idiot and explain how you set it up? Many thanks...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] TheBrit:
There wasn't really any setup apart from switching the phone on for the first time and giving it my gmail login details. That's all there was to it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] B1ny:
My Hero calendar haven't managed to sync since the 20th august, both mail and contacts have been syncing perfect all alone.....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] BlueHawk:
You can try clearing the data for the calendar on your phone. Go to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Calendar Storage -> Clear Data. You will obviously lose data but when you open Calendar again, it will re-sync to your Google Calendar. This seems to be the only way to get everything back in order, particularly if you have retroactively added things to your calendar (like anniversaries that originated before the current date that you have just added), or your Google Calendar wasn't active before you set up your phone. It means for the time being, the safest thing is to store all events in your Google Calendar and not in the local "My Calendar" until someone builds a better syncing mechanism with the current application.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
is syncing to your calendar in your syncing options activated? to me this looks like the calender option isn't checked.

i had the strage occurance once, that somehow syncing my contacts was deactivated automatically. i just activated it again and it worked.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] B1ny:
That seemed to kick everything back into action again. Thanks :-)

YOU SHOULD ALWAYS PERFORM A HARD RESET WHEN FLASHING TO ANY NEW ROM!

See screen shots below. Look

It is regarding how to 'Hard Reset' the HTC Touch Diamond

CAUTION! This will totally remove all the data and your device will be reset to default settings, fresh from factory mode.

How to Hard Reset TOUCH Diamond:

1. With your phone on. Pull out your stylus.

2. Hold your Touch Pro upside down.

3. Press and Hold the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons, then press the RESET button with the stylus tip till message appear.

4. To HARD RESET, Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or else press any other button to cancel.

5. Then just follow all the screen instruction to continue.

Tips:

- If you're forced and unavoidable to 'Hard Reset' your phone, you can prevent loosing your data by sync them all to your computer before performing this reset.
