Prefer Touch HD over HD2

I agree with Grizzly on almost every point he's been making so far. Before I catch the flames too I shall start with a story...

My HP iPAQ was stolen from a payphone booth within one minute where I forgot it at an airport a year ago. This was my first real PDA and I was extraordinarily disappointed. I had racked up a lot of apps on it and and had even made the home screen sexy and easy to use with a few mods. Going from interfacing my custom cycles with the PCR machine (lab work) to playing old favourites like SimCity 2000 in lectures was great!

The next thing I obviously wanted was a PDA PHONE, so I didn't have to use a payphone booth again... so I got the Touch HD when it just came out in Oz from Telstra (who still sell it for $1500 - 215% markup). And it was absolutely perfect. Did everything, well supported by the community, and using it as a phone and an organizer that synced with outlook it worked a charm. Then last month getting a taxi back from the pub, I was left at a busway because the taxi driver who was fresh from India could not find my home as it wasn't on the GPS. Calling another taxi I got mugged for it while I was using it, snatched it from my hand. So now I was faced with having to get a new phone.

I have bought a Touch HD again. You see, the HD2 as fantastic as it is, is half way between being a traditional WM phone and an Android phone. Without the use of a stylus, how can you hand write down meeting notes? How can I use all my legacy games and applications? What's the point of having something a little zippier when the new manilla (which is a bit too busy) is going to be hacked onto the Touch HD anyway and it doesn't have the Tegra for true gaming pwnage or audiophile quality audio or a true camera replacement camera? Also the lack of 3G camera ticks me off too. I can't video call my parents in NZ which although is horrendously expensive, I enjoy doing on birthdays and so on - on special occasions we're often away from our computers.

What I am going to do is stick with my tried and tested HD and see if the HD2 has any advantage over the Dragon before I upgrade. Or even other non-HTC devices (god forbid) should they provide Audio/Graphics advantages. Because really the point of this thing is to replace the need to carry around other devices. Otherwise just get something that is only a phone, right?

[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
Very much so. HTC an enormous international company dedicated to producing a whole range of phones and mobile devices needs listen to random forum posters who can't even get their facts straight.

I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you for helping make the HD3 into the perfect device, derailing HTC's initial plans of improving the phone by removing the screen entirely and replacing it with a bar of soap. Your factual inaccuracies are making the mobile world a better place.
[HD2 General] dvssolid:
Since there is no dedicated off/on hardware ringer switch, is there a way to silence the phone while it is locked?
[HD2 General] THE GRIZZ:
the volume rocker is normally used for something like that

Please spare us your fan-boyish drivel. What I mentioned in the OP are all valid concerns

Hi to All,

I have question to you, have someone experienced dead pixel (it's so small that it might be half of pixel :) ) on your Touch Pro 2 screen? If yes do you know if one dead pixel is something that might be repaired under warranty or it's the same issue as with laptops when you need to have definitely more then one pixel to use warranty?

Enjoy weekend!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] princeasi:
I just exchange my newly purchased tilt 2 today becuz of a dead pixel. No problem

exchanging whatsoever!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Caspertje19:
check this thread

I have over 10 bright/dead pixels. but yes they are very small and only noticeble when backlight is at brightest and when I am in a dark environment.....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] maxpawlowski:
I suppose I will do nothing regarding this dead pixel until something new will happened to the device. This is something that doesn't disturb me a lot specially that it's visible only in dark environment and with black background.

All the best!

i got a brand new T-mobile Compact V from T-mobile UK and tried setting up the WIFI. I connected to the router stated up Opera which came with the phone and got a Error! could not locate server. Iv'e messed with every connection setting there is on WM 6.1. Iv'e been looking on the internet for hours on how to resolve the problem and iv'e tried hard reseting the device and trying to set the device up again.

I just cant get it to work.

The router detects my phone for a second in its attached devices screen but then will disappear.

Iv'e made sure the router gives it a static IP address and let it set one by itself.

Help would be appreciated as im ripping my hair out

thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] harminderdhak:
note to add when i turned of the WEP protection on my router it now has connected to the internet. So its just a matter of settings i presume which is still not god because i cant seem to get those settings right. My router is a Netgear DG834GT.

Help please
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] harminderdhak:
Problem solved

Prolem Solved

The WIFI had 3 power options, best performance, middle performance and battery life or best battery life. For some reasons on the 2 battery aiding options if was sending the WIFI connection to sleep, most probably software problems with those choices however on the best performance option no such problem I stay constantly connected. it's not ideal having your battery drain quicker but i just turn wifi off when not using it, not too big a problem.

would be nice if the other two options worked as they should though

hope this might help someone wih the same problem

its a known bug for CDMA/Sprint... my friends Tmobile TP2 don't have this issue
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ZUUL42:
I contacted HTC about it. They said:

We are currently aware of this issue and will be addressing it in the next firmware update. Please keep an eye out at www.htc.com/us under the Support Tab. Pick your device from the dropdown. When software updates are available they will be posted there.

So, it's not a big deal for me & will be gone when we get WM 6.5.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] kdizzo:
ok, well thanks for that info, atleast i know its not just my tp2..
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ZuluWarrior:
I was having the same issue and found this fix over at PPCG, haven't had a call yet to test it but from what I gather it works.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ddialogue:
This was a huge irritation for me. THANKS for posting the fix! :D
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] stevecn70:
yeah, seems to happen if you put it on ring and vibrate, then later turn your volume down to vibrate only and then turn your volume back up. it will then be Only set to Ring. Doesn't seem to affect text messages though. I will check out this fix and see if it works but above is how you reproduce. Set it to ring and vib, then go adjust volume to vib, then back up and then go back in and see what it is set as.

Ring Vibe Fix Doesnt Work on WM 6.5 Sprint ROM

I have the same issue. My HTC Touch Pro 2 with Official 6.5 ROM will not stay on VIB for ringtones and will not VIB for SMS. I can 'check' them and then I can go back into settings and they are unchecked! This 'fix' is not working for me although it DID work for WM 6.1 on the same phone. Any help? Please! I need VIB & RING for calls and SMS!

Thanks!

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] bczrx:
Chaohliu, I see this but I'm unclear what it does?

Bengermino, did you load the cab before trying to set it in WM6.5 with the new ROM functionality? That is the impression I got when reading your post. I apologize for being 'mr obvious' but I haven't experienced this issue [with "notify me...." checked] since I flashed WM6.5 onto mine. If my impression is right, then try the following steps. If I'm wrong, don't waste time reading further down this post.

Settings

Menu

All Settings

Sounds and Notifications

Notifications

Select event I selected Messaging: New MMS, and the following steps are related to that choice.

Check 'Play Sound'

Check 'Vibrate'

Click OK in top right corner.

Good luck with resolving this!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] chaohliu:
once you uncheck that box, it seems to make ring and vibrate stick. i wouldnt bother with the cabs and stuff when this is the most effective solution. not sure why that is, but ive done it many times and it works.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] bczrx:
Cool, thanks for the explanation!;)
[G1 Android Development] csmarshal:
Hi,

i just upgraded my Dream to CM4.1.9999. Did a wipe and everything works good so far. Before the wipe i backed u my aps with Astro. Now, on the new Rom i installed Astro and instaleld the backed-up apps. After installing them, when i look in the Market under "Downloads" those dont show up. In 4.1.4 i remember all Apps used to show up under there, regardless if hey were installed from SD or the Market. The reason why i mention this is, because now i wont get update notifications for those apps. Would be quite some time to reinstall each app from the Market.

Also, in CM4.1.9999 is it possible to turn of the Camera shutter sound?

Thanks!

To the Q&A section you belong.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] chefgon:
I have noticed that while using my phone, every once in a while I'll notice that an important background process isn't running anymore. I know that Android closes processes when it needs more memory, and that it has a complex system to decide process priority, but sometimes I think it's making the wrong decisions.

I'm talking about processes that watch for notifications, like Gmail, Google Talk, Twidroid, or Google Voice. These are very important processes to me, and it's extremely annoying when I find out that I've had a message sitting around for several hours (or days) without being alerted about it.

These processes aren't being shut down by Force Closes (at least not ones that the system tells me about), they just fail to notify me because they're not running. I haven't closed them through a task manager or done anything crazy with my phone, just normal use.

At the end of the day, I would rather that my phone crashes and reboots than shut these processes down. At least that way I would be aware that something had happened. I can't stand it when something has shut down and I don't know about it, I think that I just haven't received any messages when in fact I just haven't been notified about them.

So I guess my question would be, is there any way to guarantee that these processes are never closed, even if it causes the phone to run slow or crash? Or at the very least, guarantee that they are restarted as soon as possible if they are shut down? The notification system is the whole reason why I use Android, and I'm starting to feel like it just isn't reliable enough to count on.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] chefgon:
Nobody knows? I'm guessing it's not possible then. Has anyone else experienced this same problem or am I possibly running a poorly written program that's screwing up my system?

I have used Resco Explorer as a great substitute over the built in file explorer for some time on WinMo. I just installed v7.05 on my Tilt2 (stock AT&T ROM) and am finding it really slow. It seems to hang for some time to display the contents in the lower part of the spit view. Any suggestions?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rajuabju:
Is this happening for your in every folder, or just a few?

Some, like the windows folder, have SO many files in them, it takes a moment to get the full listing. But most folders come up very quickly for me.

Resco > Total Commander

Of course, its not free.... which is why so many people prefer TC.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
Resco seems just fine for me.. Scrolling is a little jerky sometimes, but generally scrolls really well and runs fine.

As mentioned, in larger directories it can move a little slow.. And if something is running in the background that's doing some heavy work, it's slow... like I have a mortscript which zip's up some data files as a backup and I was in Resco while it was running and noticed it was really jumpy then..

You doing much in the background? Is it like that all the time, or just sometimes?

Here is my JMITR Mega Black skin.

It goes a bit deeper than some of the other skins in removing the brown tints. notification bubbles, button presses, audio manager etc are all skinned the classic HTC Black / Green.

Any wallpaper can be used in lieu of what I choose, and all the excellent clocks posted work as well. If you like my transparent clock background install the clock first, then my theme.

I do not have a cab generator program (the free ones kinda suck!!!!!:p)

If someone wants to cab this up pm me and I will edit the post, otherwise:

1. Disable touchFlo

2. Open with Total commander, copy files into the windows directory

3. restart touchFlo

Please note, the default wallpaper will be the Diamond black.

Enjoy,

Wow what a great community, thanks to both dwizzy130 and DWC316 for answering the call for cabing my theme. Both were a different size, both worked, but I'm linking the smaller of the 2!!!! Thanks both for making this. I should and will eventually invest in a good cab program. With m2dc I never needed that for my themes but now we do again.

nice tool twolf! and a nice skin. you do great work!! thanks guys for posting on the thread
[Windows Mobile Themes] twolf:
Thank you for creating and manage it. :)

I want to ask some feedback from the skinners out here for this new m2d version...

If M2DC isnt updated, I'm thinking of making the skin selector on my tool that:

- Lists all the file names from a specific folder.

- Renames them to zip and extracts the thumbnail preview from all.

- Lists them all as themes on M2Dr with image preview.

- Renames them all back to the previous extension.

- when a theme is selected it renamed the file to zip, extracts all the files to a temporary folder, removes the xml file (if its an old skin), moves all the files to the Windows folder and finally renames the file extension again.

- The current theme is saved as selected and the themes list is saved until the user decides to refresh it again.

M2DC uses zip files the .m2dct extension so that ppl dont try to install a zip without knowing how.

So that ppl from older M2D versions dont try to install our new skins (with much different files) by mistake I was thinking if changing the extention to simply .M2D or .M2DR what do you think?
[Windows Mobile Themes] DWC316:
all you have to do is backup your m2d settings before you install a theme using m2d customizer and after you install a theme and touchflo wont start then restore your m2d settings with m2d customizer
[Windows Mobile Themes] DWC316:
sounds good to me:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] jmitr:
Sound great Twolf, Right now most of our new "skins" only include the files changed from the originals. For older themes where one might go from one to the other (though my personal preference was to ALWAYS go back to standard first) themes tended to include all required files. Some ROMS make certain graphis files protected in the windows directory hence the need to use total commander to overwrite them. A new program like the one your proposing would make things far easier (for the end user at least).

The extension name doesn't matter, I'll use whatever you decide!!!
