Without A-GPS enabled make sure you don't enter the wrong coffeeshop!!:D

By the way..Also TD2 Tools and Tom's Topaz Setting Tool can enable/disable A-GPS and are more specific for our devices...your choice...and have a nice trip:)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] san.medius:
Hi,

have you tested HD Tweak? I'm just asking for comparison reasons. I used it just because someone said it worked.

If the other two are more suitable for the Topaz i would of course prefer them. Is there "a better one" comparing the two? :)

P.S. Following question just entered my mind. If i uninstall the other tweak software what happens with the changes i made with it. I mean i guess it changes values in the registry so that the settings are changed? I suppose everything will stay as the software "left" it before being uninstalled? :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] sualc:
I use HDTweak to increase overall sound volume only. I had it installed for months in a previous config and I was quite happy with it, but the specific tweak apps look more friendly to me. I guess that if you uninstall hdtweak without restoring the default settings you will keep the tweaks applied..at your own risk:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sample88:
I'm just curious.. I have an Omnia and for the startbar and the bar below you can't select full white or full black.. Is there any way to change this properly?

Now for my real question: I noticed that SPB MS 3.5 and also mskip's widgets are both mostly based on a black theme.. I wondered if there is some way you could change it to white?

Another problem: When I change the qa_fundotela2.dat files from black to white.. It actually doesnt change anything about the looks.. but when I scroll now.. Old icons stay in the screen and I get an overlap of everywhere I scroll.. Seems not right?

i am so wanna a htc touch hd NoWWwwWWwWwW!!

posted over at slashgear,

"After weeks of rumor, HTC have confirmed the existence of their latest flagship Windows Phone, the HTC HD2 (aka the HTC Leo). As expected, the HD2 runs Windows Mobile 6.5 on a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, with a 4.3-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen and 5-megapixel autofocus camera; it’s also the first Windows Phone to support both multitouch and HTC Sense. Perhaps best of all, HTC CEO Peter Chou has confirmed that HTC will be offering a US 3G version of the HD2 in Q1 2010. SlashGear sat down with Chou earlier on today to get a preview of the HD2 and find out more about HTC’s focus moving forward."
[Touch HD General] leobox1:
especially htc sense.. it seems so cool.. so convenient
[Touch HD General] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
Yea, I want the HD2 too!!! But Im stuck for a while with Touch HD cause, I have enough money for HD2, But Im saving that money for a Yamaha WR125X!!!

well the sense on the HD2 aint a problem - it can easily be ported to other devices! :D

the best thing about HD2 is - It could be the Best Windows Mobile Phone in 2009 with its 1ghz cpu and enourmous screen & other stuff!!!! :D :D
[Touch HD General] ibsa03:
i want it mainly for the capacitive touch screen, combine that with the 1Ghz processor, i think it would give u a perfect touchy/smooth feeling! :D
[Touch HD General] leobox1:
no more laggy videos lol

btw seriously what is so good about a capacitive screen since fingernails dont work no more
[Touch HD General] kersh:
I want another now!

I have a preorder on expansys, but still a month before we can get in our hands
[Touch HD General] leobox1:

[Touch HD General] ALLDAT:
I want one too, but it looks like will have to wait so we can get an US 3G version.:rolleyes:

[Touch HD General] guiltlyzebra:
I want one also, have the money and would buy tomorrow..... as soon as I hear the battery lasts longer than my HD, 1 day when I use it to run my life is not exactly ispirational to organisation now is it lol
[Touch HD General] lucid:
I read that you can get one soon for 500$ on a vodafone pay as you go.

This device should be called the ""HTC wedunnit""

As the HD, the HD2 will have twice the pixels of the I-phone, and a screen

that is so large you can use it to signal E.T.'s with...

That screen. OMG. I can only concur with the thread starter, I want one NOW.
[Touch HD General] leobox1:
hopefully it performs good under sunlight.. and the camera too hope it is not as lousy as HD's
[Touch HD General] kersh:
A spanish preview with the ceo of htc spain says that the device will have 720P recording but the camera have the same problems of olders htc's, super slooooow autofocus and shoot, like click, then autofocus for 3 seconds, and then photo but if you move the phone 1cm, the photo will not be clear

[Touch HD General] Archer:
One of the main things that I'm impressed with about this phone, is that HTC have noticed the invention of the flash!!!

Can't wait to once again have a phone that can take pictures in conditions other than glorious sunshine! I live in bloody England!!!
[Touch HD General] leobox1:
hd 2 has flash???????????????

yeahhhhhhhhhh
[Touch HD General] Archer:
Yep! It's got a dual LED flash right next to the camera lens. Not only does it mean I can take pictures of the blind girl across the street while she bathes*, I also don't need to buy a torch! YAY!

*I'm not really a perv - it's a Jennifer 8 reference. Uma Thurman....mmmmmmmm
[Touch HD General] lquigley:
Help, need answer. If it goes with T-mobile, & you get 1 & unlock it, will it get 3g on AT&T? I know european version doesn't, but where I live, we don't get 3g. We live in a very rural area, don't know if we will ever get it? I just don't want to wait to get nam version, & have it stuck with all T-mobiles stuff. Help?
[Touch HD General] tazbo28:
the hd2 will be awesome. Im just glad they decided on a multi-touch resistive screen like the palm pre!! cant wait!!
[Touch HD General] mancsoulja:
Does the fact that microsoft putting so much effort in to developing wm 6.5 not show that there nowhere near wm 7 yet lol if they thought is was 12, 18 months away they would of just made 6.1 with bells and whistles, but they have had it in development longer than windows 7 lol so dnt expect windows mobile 7 for atleast 28/32 months maybe more lol
[Touch HD General] mancsoulja:
hate to break ur bubble but the palm pre has a capacitive screen nt a resistive one lol
[Touch HD General] kasperknop:
yeah and same goes for the HD2. Capacitive > resistive imo though, so that's only good. Resistive gets scratched, isn't as responsive, don't have the hot glass-look and doesn't support multi touch yet (although I think nokia is working on this given that they have taken some kind of patent on it..)
[Touch HD General] Irfanam:
I think HD2 would have a capacitive screen as well am I wrong
[Touch HD General] mancsoulja:
Who cares about the screen tho lol i just wanna get my hands on that 1gb snapdragon processor lol :D
[Touch HD General] ilordvader:
Not Wrong

just Slow on the News lol
[Touch HD General] lquigley:
hd2 screen?

Here in the states all i've seen is it's going to be capacitive, they changed? or are we just not getting the correct facts?
[Touch HD General] kasperknop:
It is capacitive :)

http://www.htc.com/europe/product/hd2/specification.html
[Touch HD General] tazbo28:
the hd2 has a screen with micro dots on it. or in it. i wrote up an entire thread explaining this. i happen to have an iphone, and have never been able to find those dots anywhere on the screen. even the "how stuff works" site explains the iphone as not having them. so im just going off of the "facts" that i can prove visibly. htc can say anything they want about the phone in print or on a website, but until someone actually tries to use a stylus on camera, im betting that the screen is a multi-touch pressure sensitive screen of some sort. those dots arent used to detect conductivity in your fingertip. unless im missing something here. if i am please tell me. btw the palm pre does have those same micro dots as well as the g1. so please someone inform me of the screen tech with more in depth info so i can finally put this to rest...
[Touch HD General] malestrom:
It is their phone......

I really think that the company who created this specific phone, knows better.
[Touch HD General] kasperknop:
Did you even read that thread? Open your eyes man XD That was an old prototype with a resistive screen. Ofc it is capacitive now. None if the final builds have the so-called dots you are talking about. All the reviews have tested and confirmed it to be a capacitive screen.... and tell me... why would they even lie? That would just be stupid man... some people even prefer resistive screens so there is absolutely no point in lying.
[Touch HD General] janne303:
Maybee time for XDA to get an own page for HD2 soon?
[Touch HD General] leftkats:
allready there for at least a week... named as LEO
[Touch HD General] janne303:
cool! I did not see that. Ez
[Touch HD General] leobox1:
hmmm i saw the compares of the processing power of hd and hd 2.. it states more than 200% but yet says it is comparing apple to orange..

that is confusing lol
[Touch HD General] samad115:
personally i feel this is a true contender for the iphone, its a shame HTC are not advertising it as apple did the iphone
[Touch HD General] mancsoulja:
Our HD's already surpass the iphone, you tell me one thing the iphone can do that the HD cant except a shed load of useless apps lol
[Touch HD General] highborough:
Hi all!

I have it for a couple of days and this phone is a killer !!!

Very fast, amazing huge screen, big but thin,...etc... in one world, great !

My only concern for now is some issues with the synchro on Vista. It was fully working with my Diamond but the HD2 is a bit more difficult to synchronize...
[Touch HD General] leobox1:
i wonder when will the price drop :P
[Touch HD General] ilordvader:
whts the Talk Time you get on it ?

are there any Ext battery for HD2
[Touch HD General] berilevi:
specs looks amazing i want one too

if only it had Android on it instead of winblows
[Touch HD General] stoolzo:
FAIL !!

No TV out

!!!!! FAIL !!!!!!!!

I'm waiting for a proper MiniPC / Phone crossover with HD video / TV out / mic input HDMI video / 5.1 audio out.

the tech is out there, I'm not being fooled by this half upgade, this aint not "flagship" phone to me. Sure it is the 3GS to the Iphone 3g but but it wasnt just speed I wanted on the upgade.

digital compass, give me a break...
[Touch HD General] trentend:
Fabulous looking hardware. That's what I'm looking for in a phone.......an Android phone. I love the HTC hardware, and the flexibility provided by support from this site. I'vee had a HTC phone since the tytn, and currebtly have both a Diamond (work) and Blackstone (personal). They're good, but nowhere near as good as they would be with less problems with the operating system. I wont be buying another WM phone.

[Touch HD General] leobox1:
sad.. dual led is almost no flash.. it really dont work as good as real flash..

and whats with andriod .. is it really so much better than windows m
[Touch HD General] commando0:
i agree its a half update only ......

the above features are going to be very common in coming phones in about 4 months time

not but least usb hosting support should also be there.......
[Touch HD General] leobox1:
btw why is TV out so important? it is a phone after all..

stoolz.. why is the digital compass duh?
[Touch HD General] commando0:
today phone is all in one

no tv out is needed for presentations .......

and digital compass needed for in door building navigation .........

rather in addition phone should have a barometer and altitude meter and a bit weather resistant design for ease of use in out door expeditions ....
[Touch HD General] idandush:
i dont understand how can you want a device like this ,

you know it needs a 1 Ghz processor to run a bit slower than the iphone .

the software on it is just BAD . if it had ANDROID , than i can understand it has all the latest stuff , but it runs , ok , nothing more .

add the latest release from HTC , which is no support for old devices like the HTC HD , which means you will be stuck with WM6.5 and have to use other wierd ROMs .

why oh why will you stick with HTC , and if HTC , than why WM ?

please explain to me O_0
[Touch HD General] idandush:
sorry for 2 posts , internet problem :)
[Touch HD General] Archer:
My question would be, what the hell is a blatant HTC hater doing in this forum in the first place?? I ain't gonna waste time explaining why I love this phone (despite not even having it yet), because you'll just tell me I'm wrong.

Thanks for your opinion, but it's really not been given in the right place.
[Touch HD General] idandush:
Never said i hate HTC , i have HD and i like it .but i am dissapointed from the software support of them but its not relavent..

I am not a WM fan , for sure . i am waiting for a HTC+android on 1Ghz device for my next purchase .

we are all having fun with cuting edge devices , why is that only hardware and not software demand ?

dont you think you compromise in that area ?
[Touch HD General] commando0:
windows mobile has greatest software availability

andrioid has not yet .....

Will unlocked version work with AT&T in USA?

Since my contract is not up yet with AT&T, I was thinking about getting an unlocked version. It looks like the specs are (below). Sorry for the silly question, but can anyone confirm whether this will work in the U.S. with AT&T? THANK YOU.

Network Bands2

Europe: Network Bands

* HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz

* GSM: 850/950/1800/1900 MHz

Asia Pacific:

[Touch HD General] Archer:
Hi Tim,

As far as I'm aware, they're bringing out another version, some time next year, that is compatible with US networks. I'm afraid the first release won't work for you. That said, you'll have to wait, but you'll get a release with all the wrinkles ironed out!
[Touch HD General] olliesshop:
HTC Advantage X7500 unlocked compared to HD2

Where I'm confused is I had a X7500/Advantage unlocked that worked fine with the AT&T Network in the USA (with what I think are the specs below). Does the 850/1900 MHz, that the HD2 has, make it compatible with the US/AT&T network?

HTC Advantage/X7500

HSDPA/UMTS (2100 MHz for Europe, 850/1900 MHz for USA)

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz (The device will operate on frequencies available from the cellular network)

Thanks again for any insight folks may have on this.
[Touch HD General] Archer:
Actually, from a bit of reading up, it should be okay, since it uses 850/1900.

You need to know for sure though, don't you. Would be a real ***** to buy a phone for over £500 and then find out you can't use it! If that happens, I'll give you £20 for it ;)
[Touch HD General] olliesshop:
A reliable Unlocked retailer?

It looks like I might have to wait until it hits the streets and then find a reliable retailer who can validate it will work for me ... yes it would be quite the bummer if I bought it and found out it won't work. The HD2 looks so awesome, though, that the waiting is brutal. Thanks again.
[Touch HD General] sna:
no front camera and the headphone input is on the bottom??

But the big screen is definitely a plus. It will be harder than ever to fit it inside a pocket. Almost a cm longer in length and width.

The car kit is a smart idea.

Not sure about the capacitive screen yet since not sure how I can do w/o a stylus but it does make gaming easier w/o a dpad.

And if the video performance is truly improved then this can really be called a multimedia phone.

too bad i broke my bank account back when I got the HD. Maybe by the time I save up enough money, they will have a HD3 w/ WM7 + a real flash + even better performance/features for the US =)

3G wouldn't work in US on this European version phone. It is slated to be launched in US next quarter though, as if you can wait that long :))
[Touch HD General] cluclu:
will it give full 1GHz speed?

coz iphones' CPUs are underclocked for battery and heat issues. (833 to 600 GHz)

i think that a fully 1GHz will really be a bat: eater.
[Touch HD General] dgattenb:
but what real benifit does it have over the normal Touch HD ??...

Screen size the same .. Camrea the same .. my phone is fast and does everythign I want .. what does the HD2 that the HD dont?????
[Touch HD General] Archer:
The screen is bigger (check the specs)

The camera comes with a flash (again, in the specs)

No-one's telling you to get it lol. If you don't want to, then don't!

HD & HD2

I suppose this is going to be talked about a lot.

So, here's my take on this issue, in a nutshell:

1- HD 2 screen is bigger, I love the screen size but in practical terms, will the size be too big to use as a phone everyday? Need to handle one to decide. How will the screen size effect battery use, need to see some real life usage. For some reason, HD 2 battery is 1230 mAh as compared to 1350 mAh for HD, interesting.

Capacitive touch screen is interesting but will it cause any incompatibility issues? I can't say I prefer iPhone's screen over HD's, so that issue is undetermined for me.

2- Extra speed and RAM+ROM on HD 2. However, I don't really have a problem with either on HD, so not a deciding factor for me.

3- No front camera, meaning no video calls possible. Not a show stopper for me but since I already have it on my HD, why loose the feature?

4- Camera flash on HD 2, good addition but in general, any picture taken in low light conditions with phone cameras is not very good at best. So, this is a nice addition but not enough to make me want an HD 2.

5- I already have the sw from HD 2 on my HD, so that can't be a reason to get an HD 2.

My personal opinion is that I will hold off on HD 2 for the time being and wait for some real life feedback.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Now these are the sort of posts I like. Well researched, thought out and structured. Now hopefully others will follow suit
[Touch HD General] Silverdragondk:
Screen color

The phone has amazing specs, but it falls flat on it's nose because the screen is still, as far as I've been able to determine, only 65k colors. Why? Everything else appears to be top grade specs, so why is the color range of the screen "outdated"? It doesn't make sense to me. That one issue is enough to turn me off the HD2(same as the low resolution on the Omnia HD). Gimme colors!
[Touch HD General] saayinla:
I so want one of this basecally due to the screen size, Any network offering this with a contract?
[Touch HD General] Archer:
There's still only a handful of phones out there that do more thank 65K colour depth. To call it outdated is a bit of a stretch. (I assume that's why you used the "").

I personally don't see this as an issue. The pixels are so small on the HD/HD2 that I doubt the human eye could tell the difference between 65K and 256K. Maybe I'm wrong, but it just doesn't seem that big a deal to me.
[Touch HD General] Archer:
O2 are definitely getting it (spoke to them myself), and Vodafone and T-Mobile are rumoured to get it. Orange are definitely not (yet).
[Touch HD General] makbil:
Where did you get that info, is it a reliable source? I'm curious because there is absolutely no info on HTC's web site regarding the color specs, which is somewhat strange.
[Touch HD General] guiltlyzebra:
What did O2 say as the date, am planning on buying one SIM free but really wish to go and 'play' with one in the store if I can?

Jody
[Touch HD General] leobox1:
is there any diff between 65k and etc etc colors?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
There's a few sites including GSMArena which state 65k colours. See here
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Has this been confirmed that Orange aren't getting this yet? Must have missed that one through the grapevine
[Touch HD General] Silverdragondk:
You're right. That was the reason I used quotation marks. It just annoys me that phones like Omnia HD and Iphone 3G has 16 million colors, whereas HTC's high end product only has a measly 65k...

I don't know if the Iphone has a better screen, aside from the color issue, but if I run a movie on my Touch HD and my brothers Iphone 3G I notice quite a difference in the "quality". Watching the movie on my Touch HD is like turning down the colors on my TV compared to the Iphone.

Unless you use the phone for games and/or movies, then it's probably not an issue for you. But if you do, you'll notice the difference of a 65k color screen and 16 million color screen.

Fallen Spartan already answered that question, so let me just add that all the sites I've found that list the color spec claim it's 65k. How reliable they are I don't know. Guess you'll have to decide for yourself.

Question to stop me impulse buying:

Is it worth waiting to see if they include a Win Mobile 7 upgrade in the middle of next year (don't laugh)?
[Touch HD General] pompom:
I bet they are going to totaly annialate the drivers on the Leo.
[Touch HD General] makbil:
To stop your impulse buying: NO :) <-- Meaning they will not give you WM 7

However, when did that stop anyone, they do not give us Manila Sense and WM 6.5 but everyone has it on their HD :)
[Touch HD General] leobox1:
will wm7 be a major upgrade?
[Touch HD General] Archer:
Yes mate. I got that info from here...

http://www.coolsmartphone.com/news5150.html

They told me they had a release date of w/c 19th October (next Monday YAY!), but this had not been confirmed. They were still going through their usual bunch of checks before setting the release date in stone, so that may change.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Thanks for that ;). I'm surprised Orange don't want the HD2 on their network
[Touch HD General] Archer:
Yeah, me too.

At first, I just assumed that O2 were getting it exclusively, to soften the blow of the iPhone going to other providers, but then I heard about Vodafone and T-Mobile getting it as well.

Who knows!
