What i don't like about the numeric keypad is it's surface, which does not differ at all underneath the "joystick". That forces you to look at your fingers while writing (or am I too unsensitive), cause you can't determine if your fingers are on the key or between two keys (you really don't feel a difference at all, except that it gives "double haptic feedback" when you have pressed and when its too late cause then you already made two instead of one input ;) ) if you don't ALWAYS LOOK AT THE NUMERIC KEYPAD.

Perhaps I just need some more excercise to intuitively press the keys correctly without looking (which was no problem btw with other phones that have little bars on the keys or a space between the keys).

I like the haptic feedback btw. If you press a key correctly, it nicely snaps.

[S740, S743 General] Corduroy-21:
My main problem is that the two keys for the calls are way way too small. OK they are somewhat higher but they are small. And that wouldnt be a big problem if you use a handsfree, but one of them is used for locking the keyboard and is annoying at times (I have to use the 2-key combo to lock the keys)
[S740, S743 General] abramq:
Did you try Danny Baumann's Automac Keylock? It's the best way for locking keyboard:-)

Smart Lock

Do a search on the XDA forums for "Smart Lock". The latest version definitely works with WM 6.5.

It comes with most of the newer cooked ROMs - so if you've loaded a custom ROM it may be lurking around somewhere already.

If not then there's a CAB file for it in the forums. I found it a while back but don't have the time to search for it right now.

Good hunting! :D

Hi All,

I just got my X1 a week ago and have probably flashed it 5 times already. Flashing seems to be reasonably quick but restoring my settings takes a while. Is there a quick way to backup all the settings so that I can restore them quickly after a flash? Appreciate any insights - thanks!

[Hero, G2 Touch General] etecdailey:
Hello,

I've been using my Hero since 8 days.

Today i've entered pattern lock too many times to see what happens.

After few tries it has locked the device and ask me for an google acconut email and passwd.

But i cannot access it by my gmail account that i've entered on start up config.

Any ideas how to unlock it?

HardReset shoud work :) but maby there is any solution to go back to patter lock screen?

Cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Thiesen:
I hope for your sake that you really entered your gmail account the very first thing you did with the phone? Otherwise you have a hardreset on your hands.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] etecdailey:
Certainly,

Otherwise It want be able to synchronize with my Calendar, Mail and Contacts from google account. And he did done it...

Any idea how to roll-back to the pattern screen?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tatwamasi:
Sorry to not be able to help but how many times is too many?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] etecdailey:
About 10/15 i think... Maby some more...

It should be in user manual ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
great idea! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] etecdailey:
Thx, it's good to know your device ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
you might also try to input the wrong simcard PIN, PIN2, PUK and PUK2 (don't know if they call it like that everywhere...) too many times to see what happens. Its even better to know how you simcard works ;-)

just kidding, but i would actually just browse the net in order to check this kind of security locks instead of going full ahead and try it on my own device :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Thiesen:
I haven't been that adventurous myself to see what will happen if I get the unlock pattern wrong three times in a row but I have read that after those three times you will get a chance to enter your login information (login&pass) to validate your account information with Google... what happens then I have no idea of...

[nice one: Android Market displayed long time a go installed apps] :)

no need to remember what whas the name of app that does (...) :D did't know...

ok:

After 5x wrong input device locks for 30sec.

Then You need to make a mistake 10x and wait 30sec. more.

15x is the third limit... again 30sec.

then it locks it self for 30sec. every time when pattern is bad.

But there is no warning message at all :/

No gmail login authorisation.

Dont know why...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] etecdailey:
simcard PIN, PIN2, PUK and PUK2 are ok :D ...tested... ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] etecdailey:
Not bored just curious. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cdmackay:

[Hero, G2 Touch General] etecdailey:
CAPS o/c.

But: @googlemail.com didn't try...

As i said, i've tried to do this again but never show up :(

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Keef:
Anybody know where I can get a Sim Free Hero in Black or Graphite (not White of Brown) in the uk with a valid warranty?

My HD was stolen at the weekend so am looking for a sim free one which my insurance will pay out on as a replacment, and keep my existing contract (vodafone)

Don't want White as I'm worried it'll look filthy dirty in no time at all, and Brown yuk sorry just not for me

I know I can get unlocked orange/tmobile ones off of ebay but the warrantys will be no good

thanks in advance

K.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Tone-Fu:
The white one isn't that liable to get dirty, it's teflon coated partly to protect it. I've had mine a month or so and I've been using it like a normal phone, in and out of the pocket, down the pub etc. and it's still white and shiny!

You can also get full body skins for them in other colours, which might help if you aren't able to get a different colour one.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] snafle:
Seconded on the white one, I've had mine for a 4 or 5 weeks, got bacon, mud and biro on it (not all at once...) and it still looks excellent. It's a really nice white as well, more like milk than paper. Yummy.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Keef:
White Hero

I bought one (white) late yesterday and it's arrived

played with if for an hour or so and I love it!

so easy to set up and use, it's just brilliant so much better than my HD, almost glad it was Stolen now

blown WinMobile out of the water for me

cheers

K.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rhedgehog:
as long as they are unlocked correctly (by t-mobile or orange) then there is no effect on the warranty whatsoever. It's only when you start changing ROMs that the warranty is affected.

as for them being SIM free, not in the UK you won't. The black and graphite are network exclusives in the UK. Course, that might be different on the continent....

I just got this phone. i've been a g1 user for a while and now i want to get some ideas on everyone's favorite ROM. I'm going to read through and pick one i like, just want some idea of what everyone here runs
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Bxsteez:
I'd suggest u try them all and make a choice. ROMs are like mates there isnt a best one just one best for you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ferenczi42:
As Bxsteez said, there is no overall best. But I rather like the EnergyROM releases. I ran the last Warhawk for about a week without seeing any of the posted bugs, but just upgraded to the Genesis line.

The AtomAng ROM is popular, as well. Just go poke around in the ROM dev thread. Try them all. I went through 4 or 5 in the span of 2 days, before I settled on Energy.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jriley60:
hey thanks. i actually just put on the energy ROM and i think i'm in love...don't get me wrong i loved android but this is dope
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] drawflex:
Theres an Energy Windows mobile 6.5 ROM that's dead stable, stick to manilla 2.1 for now though if you want stability, i'm using a manilla 2.5 ROM and even though i love the new 'swish' features... bug free it aint.

I'd go for the bottom one of the 3.... tried and tested

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Dalamak:
So I don't wanna read the whole thread... which is the best ROM?

Nah Just kidding, I've been using energyrom, since I got the phone, and I love it, like everything about it how its organized, how it grapically looks stock, and how it performs. I lik 6.5 roms, and I'm not into the guys toying with the 2.5 and 2.6 cause I'm tired of beta testing, I want a phone I can enjoy

and as far as android goes, I didn't like it, I haven't followed it since I bricked my G1 beta testing for JF, but I felt suffocated using, I like the free of winmo, and the piracy!

I just completed my first app which works fine, and want to make a widget version of it.

I notice that most of the standard Android widgets are extremely limited in what they can do. Yet the Hero ones which run under Rosie have cool features like animations and scrolling within the widget itself.

Anyone know if there is an API or SDK for such effects, or if there is a fundamental reason why they arent generally used in widgets? Battery life and/or performance?

iphone to htc hero???

anyone?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] retroscendence:
Almost there, but a little help needed please

Hi, have followed all the steps and got a saved copy of import.xml.

Next I connected the phone using the USB cable. (Didn't mount it as a USB device)

Then I opened Command Promt on my PC and changed to the android SDK tools directory.

Then I type "adb shell" (without quotes)

It says:

adb server is out of date. killing...

* daemon started successfully *

$

At this point the phone disconnects from HTC Sync and I have to end adb.exe (which appears twice) in windows task manager to get it to reconnect to sync.

Any suggestions please?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] RemoteSojourner:
If it disconnects from HTC Sync, it's fine as long as you get the shell prompt
[Hero, G2 Touch General] retroscendence:
But then if I type "su" after the $ it says su: permission denied...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] RemoteSojourner:
I assume your phone isn't rooted then.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] retroscendence:
Maybe not. To be honest I'm starting to feel a bit out of my depth here. I don't really have any programming knowledge and haven't really used dos much before. I'll go and research 'rooting' now, but if you can come back with a quick instruction in the meantime that'd be great
[Hero, G2 Touch General] retroscendence:
Ok, so I've found various instruction for how to root my phone. Only problem is that they each seem to relate to what network I'm on. I was originally on T-Mobile, but paid to have it unlocked so I can use my 3 sim. Should I just use the instruction relating to T-Mobile? Sorry for so many questions, but I'm a bit worried about permanently wrecking the phone
[Hero, G2 Touch General] retroscendence:
Ok, if I use the instructions here (my ROM version is 2.73.+) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4525393&postcount=1 do you think it should be ok? I am a bit worried about the part where it says "flashrec is using an exploit that isn't patched yet in the current kernel used by HTC, however if/when HTC patches this, flashrec will stop working. So for now it's ok but a next version might have patched this, so keep this in mind !"
[Hero, G2 Touch General] RemoteSojourner:
Yup that one should work.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] farkah:
Hello,

i have happily installed Debian Lenny, the Arm distro, using cdbootstrap onto a SD card. It boots (with haret), network via the usb works. Things like lynx, sshd multiple screens etc work fine and i can run a instance of Apache, serve mail etc - basically its a pretty sweet little server at the moment with its touchscreen keyboard as its control. The wifi interface seems to be recognised but I can't use it but that can wait.

But i can't for the life of me get any decent graphics on it. I've tried a couple of different framebuffers but they to no avail. Much seems to revolve around some kind of pci bus issues or similar. Is there a PCI bus emulator package that I've missed somehow or some other little trick for running on the Arm architecture?

Is this the same issues that the fellas porting Android are having - getting the graphics to work? Does anyone know of an free Arm specific Xorg styled server? All the packages for Gnome/KDE etc are all ported already to arm and I can run things like xterm and other X apps on a remote display so i know the binaries and libraries are fine.

Hey guys new member of the forum :) i will soon be getting a new phone and it will be either the Touch Pro 2 or the Touch HD. I'm not sure which one to get as i can live without a hardware keyboard which makes the device slimmer and easier to hold, but the question is what is the difference between the 2 phones? are they running the exact same software with the same features etc etc? if they operate exactly the same the HD looks nicer in my opinion, this will be my first time owning a windows mobile, will both phones get the same updates/custom roms. Other peoples opinions on these phones would be a great help, thanks in advance.
