[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cozmo911:
Is it just me, or is application support for multitouch a bit on the scarce side? In fact, the only applications that I've noticed it work in are the browser and the photo viewer.

Is there an upcoming update expected for google maps? It's a shame the APIs for zooming didn't allow more seemless migration to multitouch.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemax:
Has multitouch been implemented by HTC or is it part of Android ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cozmo911:
Good question. I know it's part of the Android kernel, but I'm not sure if it's enabled on the Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Podg:
I saw a program which says it has multi touch (I think it's hero only until more multi touch devices are released.) http://phandroid.com/2009/09/02/nebudroid-your-android-is-now-an-nes-controller/ Looks like an interesting app, hopefully we can get more apps that have multitouch support soon
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockboy2000:
So whats the story with multitouch ? Did apple only request google not to implement multitouch back when the G1 was released, but android is ok to have it included now? or is the only way to have multitouch is to use a rom with the multitouch code uncommented?

wanted to play the air hockey game with my workmate, but my default tmobile rom doesn't have multitouch enabled. gutted :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluke2k:
I don't think multitouch is supported by Android 1.5 "Cupcake" and that the multitouch on the Hero is implemented by HTC in the apps that uses it.

Multitouch are part of Android 1.6 "Donut" I think...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanbodla:
Not even Donut!! will have to wait for later Android version. Has Apple got a patent for multitouch??
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockboy2000:
thats the impression i got from googling earlier today, that apples patented it...but i find it hard to believe they could patent touching a touchscreen that recognises more than 1 finger in the first place. Patent the gestures recognition, sure... i could understand that...

but preventing me from playing air hockey with workmates when i should be doing work...thats just damn annoying.

I might patent cars that require one or two hands to be driven, or playing pocket pinball with more than 1 finger...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Temjin:
Err...multitouch is already there on the Hero. Have you tried zooming in and out of web pages on the stock browser?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] poussinou69:
Hi,

I don't think my question is specific to a rom or a dialer.

I don't want the dialer appears after a call.

I would like to reach the home screen directly without the 5 seconds dialer transition.

Is it possible with a registry tweak or something else please ?

Thanks for all.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] poussinou69:
This is not a problem for nobody this dialer after a call ?

To be always forced to click on the cross or a hard button to reach the home screen ?

Please tell me a solution if you know it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sedret:
I would also like to know if a tweak like this exists...

I'll try to find a way but anyone knowing this is welcome....:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kelleci:
Try this registry setting you must create:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]

"CallProgressIdleTimeout"=dword:00000000
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] AwaKeN:
Just push the Home button after the end button is pressed, you wont wait 5 seconds.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] poussinou69:
Thanks, i'll try that ASAP
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] poussinou69:
This is precisely what i want to avoid :D

Nevertheless thanks for your answer
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] poussinou69:
Unfortunally this tweak doesn't work, even after a soft reset.

Did it work for you and with which device and rom ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kelleci:
My device is diamond and I use nataly 2.7, it works...

Another way:You can install advanced config and you can find in phone tab..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sedret:
I have to revive this thread cause I am really interested in a tweak like this...

I've tried everything in Advanced Configuration and in Diamond Tweak but there is no tweak for this...

Does anyone know a tweak?:(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] poussinou69:
I think it's impossible.

I tried all the tweaks.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] skiiman1:
Does anyone know how to unlock the SIM for the Verizon TP2 so it can accept any SIM card?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] .mak:
You'll need to have been a long time customer of Verizon (although, I've read of new customers having good results) in good standing.

Call Verizon up and tell them you want to SIM unlock the phone. If they ask, tell them you're traveling overseas and want to use another provider for GSM service.

This is a very new phone for Verizon, so they may not have the instruction set for the Touch Pro2 yet (my rep didn't). My rep had to contact HTC directly for instructions, but he had both unlock codes in his computer. You can let them contact HTC, or tell them you want the codes and you'll contact HTC directly yourself if this is the case.

They should give you two unlock codes (Unlock A and Unlock B, although you should only need Unlock A).

Write down the code, turn on your Touch Pro 2.

From the homescreen, scroll all the way to SETTINGS.

Click ALL SETTINGS in the bottom left hand corner of the screen

Click the PERSONAL tab.

Click the SECURITY icon.

Enter your Unlock A code in the box and click OK/Enter.

Your phone should now be SIM unlocked!

This is how I did it. Neither AT&T or TMobile SIMs have been rejected in my TP2, but I have yet to make test calls.. I think there is a software restriction somewhere that needs to be bypassed for US based GSM, but I don't recall for sure.

-mak
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] skiiman1:
hmm do you know of any online services who could give me the unlock codes?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] christr:
Why do you need a service? If you're a customer in good standing with Verizon (60days or more I think) they'll give you the unlock code.

The ROM's havn't been hacked yet for the CDMA/US versions of the phones so I don't think there is anyone else doing unlocks yet.

All I had to do was send an email to Verizon from my account login page and the next morning i had the unlock code waiting for me.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] oanderson007:
The qualifications for unlock eligability is to have had service with verizon longer than 60 days, only one unlock per line in 10 months, and to have your account balance current, as well as this will void your warranty with the equipment per verizon. It does not affect insurance on the device is what I got. I got a $15 prepaid sim card from at&t due to TMobile not offering data on prepaid, unless you have a sidekick. So after successfull unlock, and my new gophone sim, I was able to make and recieve calls, and took a sec but got data services working, but restricted to edge speeds in the US of course due to the hsdpa being on a different frequency than they use in europe. But hey, my phone now has 2 numbers with a few clicks of a button, no need to even restart the device, so when I am in a building that I cant get cdma service due to the high band frequency it uses, I can then use gsm to make outbound calls, and it's cool to floss to your coworkers that your verizon phone showing the at&t network. Whats the point of having a world phone if you cant play:D

One upgraded device $199, one prepaid sim $15.00, sticking with verizon after the first tp was crippled, a fortune, being able to showup the iphone on almost every level, Priceless.

Being a good smartphone, there's not an app for that. hahaha:D
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Pete450:
lol

Just got my TP2 with Verizon and lovin' it. Can't wait for this to be unlocked.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Taintor:
I have read about unlocking the SIM card on the phone. It's nice that they will do that, but why would one want to do this? What is there to gain from it?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] adrianh85:
for one it gives people the option to buy the verizon version of the phone instead of the tmoblie verison whice looks ugly to me !! and for people like me i can use the gsm sim of my phone for like a prepaid sim if i wanted to!! or if one day i deside to move to another carrier or i move to another area were i can get verizon i can use my same phone!!!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] christr:
The big benefit for those of us who travel is that we can use a foreign SIM in our phones when in a foreign country and pay local rates instead of VZW's $2+/min charges. (on Orange when I'm in the UK I pay like 40cents/min to call the US and like 15cents/min to call the UK).

In the US and only with the Verizon phone you can also get say AT&T or TMobile service and have a 2nd local(US) phone number on it and switch between VZW & the other provider as you wish.

--Chris
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Boushh:
I sent Verizon an email on Friday afternoon and got a reply with my unlock code within two hours. It was a very nice reply too. The reason I wanted to do this was I am planning on moving to another area code and have found it much easier to get a job some place if you actually have a local number, so I'm just going to get a prepaid SIM for a while...
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jdog_12345:
I got my code as well. I tried a co-workers SIM card from his iPhone 3GS running on AT&T and it worked. Too funny. The only issue was that he got 2 voice mails and a text while I had his SIM card in and now I have an unread text showing that I can't get rid of. Arrrgh. I also had 2 voice mails that were showing up as well but I got rid of those by calling my phone and leaving a voice mail. Now to just get rid of that stuck text message. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. By the way... thanks for this post. It will be handy when I travel to Europe and Mexico.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Flip_5:
If you are comfortable editing your registry, (and have a reg edit program installed on your phone) you can go to:

HK_USER\System\State\sms\Unread\Count

Change this value to 0

That should work. (at least it does on normal sms messages, not sure if the SIM card makes any difference.)

EDIT: You may have to check "..\MMS\Unread\Count" also.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] leepriestenator:
I don't get it. Why can't it be deleted? Same Inbox right?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jdog_12345:
Did anyone try using data on a SIM card? I wasn't sure how to get that working.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jdog_12345:
Thanks for the registry tweak. It worked perfect.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jdog_12345:
Windows mobile often does mysterious things doesn't it? :confused: I deleted it but it was still showing the unread message. I got it working using the registry.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] litheron:
Just curious, are you using that SIM card on a US Rhodium? I ask because I got my phone SIM unlocked via the code Verizon provides, but I've been wondering about being able to use the phone in the US with a SIM card from say AT&T or T-Mobile.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] leepriestenator:
I have a question for you guys.

The SIM card that comes with your phones (both Verizon and Sprint), they are dummies right? Do your phones work if you pull em out?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] maddie01:
Will be getting my TP2 from verizon shortly. Love the fact that we can unlock the SIM Slot and insert and Active US AT&T SIM card...not so sure I like the Edge only speeds though....

Does anyone know if we can avoid calling and just get the unlock codes posted on here or are they strictly by account?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] syntrix:
For those that have a legit reason to unlock, just call VZ Global Services....

8007118300 was the number that I asked for before they transferred me.

They will have to send you an agreement, they did for me over email. Basically it states that they are not liable for the sim, damages, etc....

Hope that helps y'all out!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mutti_wilson:
I unlocked my TP2 yesterday and made a test call on ATT and it worked just fine. Edge speeds, but I don't need data when out of the country, just voice/text.

I have one question though. Does the sim unlock stick after ROM updates? Thanks.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] syntrix:
Good question, that's why I wrote my code down!

The diagram is confusing on the back, I cut the tape off, but then realized it's a metal band. They mean to use a knife to push the sim card out from the top side!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] schl8man:
Sim Card

I just did a hard reset via Clear Storage and the sim remain unlocked after the hard reset. I am still planning on saving my code though ;)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mutti_wilson:
Good to know. Is a sim unlock as thorough as a ROM flash? I'm not throwing my code away anytime soon either.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] NoWorthWhile:
Another question... Is it necessary to unlock the phone for use in Europe? Will the 3g here work or do I still need to unlock it in order to use it exclusively in europe?

Basically, what would I have to do in order to use a Verizon Touch Pro 2 in Europe?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] papeluv:
you dont have to unlock the sim for use in europe. With verizon they partnered with Vodafone. But, the advantage for unlocking the sim is the ability to purchase a prepaid sim while in europe to make local calls for much cheaper than verizon at roughly $2/min. The advantage is similar here in the states where if needed you could use a pre/post paid tmobile or att sim to have a second line for use without having a second handset, or if you decided to leave verizon/sprint and didnt care about getting 3g speeds while in the us.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] NoWorthWhile:
Basically, that's what I want to do... Put in my old prepaid sim-card from here in belgium, and just not use the built in line from verizon... So for that, I need to unlock it? And I'll be able to enjoy one hell of a beautiful phone over here in europe like if i had bought it from here?

I just want to use it as an Unlocked European Version, but the verizon one is far more beautiful + 3.5 mm jack!

Traveling to Thailand

So I'm traveling to Thailand over Christmas and I'm wondering what kind of prepaid SIM cards I should be looking at grabbing. Any recommendations?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] djsiva:
sim unlock

Just unlocked mine last night with VZW global services. No hassle at all, and it was pretty quick. First rep had to activate current SIM card in the phone, then transfer me to global svcs so they could give me the SIM unlock code.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] helix139:
You will NOT void your warranty just by unlocking your SIM or using a 3rd party SIM. I specifically asked. You will only void your warranty if you damage the phone using or attempting to use a third party SIM. My rep was very helpful and gave me the codes with no hassle and seemed to know quite a bit about WM phones and he and I had a laugh about Verizon's retarded crippling of the TP1.

After it is unlocked, you can use any SIM you want, even a US carrier SIM, but US 3G bands are not supported on the phone and thus you will be stuck with EDGE or GPRS for data domestically. Abroad you should be able to get HSDPA if your carrier supports it.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] vmod32:
Cool, I got my phone unlocked by calling Global Services. They had no problem at all..
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ariel123:
if i unlock my tp2 for vz will i be able to use other carriers 3g in the u.s like att or tmobile
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] NoWorthWhile:
Technically, it can, but it is somehow locked to prevent you from using all the US 3G carriers... You can use for exemple AT&T or T-Mobile US, but only on Edge & GPRS...

Now, a question for me... How do I import this sweeeeet phone over to Europe? XD
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] quid246:
EBay or wait for VZW to replenish their empty shelves.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] NoWorthWhile:
There are few items on ebay for now, but none of them will ship to europe. And what do you mean by "wait for VZW to replenish" ? Do they ship to europe?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] helix139:
The phone isn't locked to prevent US 3G support at the software or firmware level. It simply doesn't support those bands and is not something that can be unlocked.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] NoWorthWhile:
Hmmm, then they should get more specific in their specifications, because it clearly states Quad-Band GSM (850/900/1900/2100 or whatever the bands are xD) and AFAIK, AT&T or T-Mobile use those bands...
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] papeluv:
If you looked into it a little more you would have found your answer. Tmobile USA DATA uses

WCDMA 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz

for their 3g service. At&t uses a more common spectrum, but, this functionality was not physically built into this phone. The GSM 850/900/1900/2100 simply refers to the bands avaliable for Voice communications only.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ikugan:
Hello everyone. This is my first post in the forum but I have been lurking for a few months now. To make a long story short, I am overseas and purchased a VZ TP2 here in Asia. I will be here for about a month and thought I would be able to sim unlock my phone through a third party. I have tried about 8 of them thus far and to no success. People are advertising that they can do it, but will end up emaling me that there was no code found. I am not a VZ customer and desperatley need the phone unlocked. I tried uniquephones because someone at pocketpc stated they could do it and they weren't able to. I am willing to pay someone through Paypal if they can send me this freakin elusive code. I find no sense in buying another phone for a hundred bucks while I have the TP2 already. This sucks as I need to keep in contact with my family. So if anyone is willing please, please let me know asap...
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Secondhandsmoker:
In US, but same issue. Subscribed to pageplus on cdma, but verizon won't provide code. 3 tries failed with unlockers. Still don't know if imei or meid is correct for unlocking privately.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ikugan:
I know what you are going through. It's even more frustrating for me because I am here in Asia at the moment with a phone that I cannot use. It's flooded here and most landlines are out of service. I have to drive 10 miles to use a phone to reach my family. And the entire time people are advertising that they can get a sim unlock code for the phone. I have tried almost every single website that says they can do it.. and nothing. Why do they have to advertise if the job cannot be done. I bought this phone for $500usd assuming I can get an unlock code... Very upsetting..
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] syntrix:
So you aren't on VZ and are asking VZ for an unlock? ugh.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ikugan:
Not sure about secondhand, but my issue is completely different. I had a bad run in with VZ a year ago when I asked the rep to cancel my account. He said he did. I lost my Blackberry Storm in Thailand, and when I get back to California after being away for about three weeks and there is a bill in the mail from VZ for $1,8000usd. Come to find out the rep never canceled my account and the @$%# that found my phone ran up the bill on my supposedly canceled account. So that's why at this moment I am not with VZ. I just purchased the VZ TP2 because I am here in the Philippines and assumed I could get it unlocked through a third party.. Well that answer seems to be no so far. If there wasn't anyone advertising that they could get the code, I never would have purchased the VZ model.. So again, PLEASE HELP!!!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Secondhandsmoker:
Pageplus uses the verizon network and verizon sold the verizon-branded phone. The provided sim will no longer work anywhere and it won't accept another. Is it unreasonable to expect help with the codes?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] syntrix:
If it's 3rd party unlock, then yes. There a topaz user that had an issue in the topaz forum, didn't follow up with his unlock code woes. Might be worth a search.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] NoWorthWhile:
Check out on pocketnow.com, they've succesfully unlocked the Verizon TP2 :) They stated that the 3rd party unlocker was fast and not expensive. You might want to take a look.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ikugan:
Thanks Noworthwhile, but the unlocker (UniquePhones) suggested by the author at Pocketnow cannot get the code either. Like I said, you have all these guys claiming they can do it, but in reality it seems as though Verizon is the only one that you can get the codes from at this time..
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Secondhandsmoker:
Would any of the vodaphone-branded international prepaid/monthly sims work in the locked vzn?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Ludacrisvp:
I have a vzw tp2 and had my device unlocked by UniquePhones. I chose my device as the htc touch pro 2, not a rhodium if thats what you tried. You cannot use the MEID number you have to use the IMEI number that you will find under all settings - phone - information, then at the bottom you will find the IMEI number. my device was unlocked rather quickly.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Secondhandsmoker:
Uniquephones couldn't find mine either. They told me they get codes directly from a htc database?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] wlawyer:
I tried Unique phones as well. They kept in communication with me but after about 3 days they finally said they could not find the unlock code for the phone. They refunded my money so I will not complain about them or their service. If it is working some of you I wouldn't hesitate to give it a shot. I am a new verizon customer and will have to wait my 60 days before I can get an unlock code from them. Just impatient I guess.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ikugan:
Trust me guys. I have tried almost every single 3rd party unlocker and nobody can do it right now. The databases have not been "updated" so no codes yet for our Verizon TP2's. I just hate the fact that they are advertising their b.s services if they cannot live up to their end of the deal. That article that can be seen at Pocketnow is also b.s because they are advertising for Uniquephones. That's the only upsetting part. If you can't do it, don't advertise that you can..
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ikugan:
I did exactly what you stated here about 2 weeks ago. And I have tried 2 other times through Uniquephone since then. You were one of the lucky few whose imei has been "updated." Mine, until now, is still showing a no code found. I am very confident that about 80% will NOT be able to get a code for a few more weeks. If anyone here is using a Telus TP2 version, you can try Visionmobile.ca as they claim to be able to unlock the Telus Branded TP2. I spoke with them a few days ago, and they told me the success rate for Telus is higher than for Verizon..
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] hmbfuze:
My first TP2 was unlocked within one hr of receipt using the unlock code from UniquePhines ($20). I had to return due to a sticky key. Got the second phone. UniquePhones has not been able to provide an unlock code.
