[General Questions and Answers] bipinsen:
Hey guys. This is a last attempt at fixing this very annoying problem. All the searches I have done don't seem to leave anywhere. So here's the situation:

I bought a Chinese clone phone (Sunno HDi - clone of HTC T8282). The phone comes with WM6.5 [5.2.23037 (build 23037.5.3.0)]. Overall the phone works great, and I have done a couple of YouTube videos on it.

But anyway - the really annoying problem is that from day 1 the phone has always shown that I'm roaming. I always get the little roaming triangle, which in turn makes several applications complain about roaming charges, blah blah blah. From my understanding, roaming is a feature of what's stored on the SIM card, and the info being pulled in from the tower. I have my T-Mobile SIM card in the phone, and I put up all T-Mobile networks I could find on the top of my preferred network list. What am I missing?

*Any* help will be greatly appreciated!

i don't have tmobile, but on verizon we have to do an ota update (*228).. does tmobile have anything like that?? if so, did u try it?
[General Questions and Answers] bipinsen:
That option in Verizon updates the PRL on the phone (preferred roaming list), which is a feature of CDMA phones. GSM phones do not have to do this. Well.. they should not have to... In either case, there isn't such an option on T-Mobile. That's why I'm wondering if this is something hard-coded in the ROM.

Thanks for the tip, though. Every little bit helps in getting rid of this annoyance!
[General Questions and Answers] ronbo76:
When I signed up my Sunno today with T-Mobile, I spoke with the representative about T-M's lack of coverage in my state which is one of the largest. While the competitor ads make T-M's 3G coverage look small, their actual coverage is probably about double that but still considerably smaller than most other carriers'.

The rep said not to worry as T-M has standard cellular agreements with the other carriers to allow phones attached to T-M to roam. He said that depending on where I live or travel, I could probably see the roam signal quite a bit but not to worry about it because I am on T-M's prepaid plan and roaming means no increase in my per minute charge.

To tell you the truth, I could care less about what symbol is displayed as long as I have cell coverage.
[S740, S743 General] mh505:
I must have hit the S740 at an unfortunate angle; now there is a spider web allover the outer display (the glass). The display still functions, but with the web being rather dense, it is not sustainable much longer.

Do any of you know a good and not too expensive supplier of a spare? Saw one on eBay, but there you are never sure of course (would prefer a new rather than used one)

Thanks !

Just placed the order; and although their website produced some glitches, it seems to have worked. What is amazing is the extremely low shipping cost !

How easy is it to replace that screen? Would i need to disassemble anything?
[S740, S743 General] mh505:
I plan to bring it to a repair shop in the neighbourhood. It can be done surely by yourself; but you would know exactly what you are doing

[S740, S743 General] mlipocky:
I replaced the display by myself. It is not easy. I purchased the display on eBay for 30€. I took me 2 hrs to dismantle and assemble the device. You need a large dose of patience and sensitive fingers.

You need to get to all the six screws to get to the display, three of them are hidden beneath the keyboard. To do that you will have to get the keyboard part off the sliding tracks. To do that you will have to first open the very back by peeling off the keyboard by a credit card not to damage the parts inside.

You will have to be extremely careful. Or pay twice in a service if you have a lack of courage.

Looks Flashy but performs worse

Audio and CallierID / Name Translation / Phonebooks all not supported. 3rd Party extensions are limited. I basically think it sucks compared to the MS Stack in my previous phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ukdoc:
I've had nothing but problems with bluetooth. File transfers over bluetooth often don't work. The biggest problem is that my hands-free phone kit, which is part of my Alpine car stereo, doesn't play nicely at all with TP2. As soon as anyone rings it instantly hangs up the call, so it's completely unusable. Worked flawlessly with my Kaiser.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] petard:
I hate it. It keeps dropping the data rate on my bluetooth headphones. It drops it slow it that is sounds like **** and the sound coming from it actually causes me headaches! Never had this problem on my FUZE. Does the Touch Pro 2 has worse bluetooth distance than the Touch Pro? From my experience it does, but it could be this crappy bluetooth stack dropping the data rates too soon. Is it possible to switch to the MS stack?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] solsearch:
I only use it for music and the occasional file transfer. For that it seems to work without a hitch for me. On the original SEA WWE ROM it worked great. With the new 6.5 it suffered from some interference but I recently installed the TD2 Tools and upped the bitpool and now the sound is better and no drops so far (have had the changes less than a day but still).

But I have read about the problems with bluetooth keyboards and I want one so I'll have to investigate carefully before making any purchases.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rsacipher:
I find that the Bluetooth on the TP2 is far less reliable than any other phone I've ever used. I have random disconnections and other odd behavior.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ron_samuels:
Bluetooth is crap on Tilt 2

Still at odds with flashing my unlocked Tilt 2. Everything works great from stock ROM. I even get a great data and signal connection with zero bars showing in my house where I have never been able to get good signal and calls were constantly dropped with my Kaiser. The problem I have is with the bluetooth. Its very buggy and tends to disconnect and give crap signal to where nobody can understand me when I am using my Blue Ant hands free. I am wondering if I flash a new rom or new radio could I get bluetooth improvement. I need the bluetooth. Its half the phone to me.

Help!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] monkeyboy0076:
I have not been having problems until recently. The bluetooth hands-free and A2DP streaming have always worked well with my Pioneer DEH-710BT headunit in my car. The connection is solid and name/number information show up on the display as expected. There's no ringtone coming over the speakers, but I'm not sure if that is supposed to happen or not. Podcasts playing from my phone sound very good and I haven't had a problem with the connection (it will also properly pause and resume the the audio when receiving calls).

This was all great until I tried to use the Presentation Companion - a new feature in the Office 2010 for Mobile suite available on the Marketplace. It supposedly allows you to control PowerPoint presentations with your phone as well as see presentation notes on the phone's screen all via bluetooth. Microsoft insists that you have the Microsoft bluetooth stack installed on the phone for this to work. Since I do not, the connection fails telling me that I do not have any bluetooth devices. While this is only one small problem (so far) it is frustrating and makes me wonder what else won't work in the future.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] simbadogg:
is there any solution yet? or anyway to get the MS stack on there...i've tried two different BT stereo headsets, and a jabra dog tag...and none of them work on stereo audio. They always say "connection failed". I've tried flashing multiple roms, even the stock rom...and nothing works. Is there anyway someone can get the MS stack onto this, because honestly the three sets i have work flawlessly on my kaiser and Fuze.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Sleuth255:
No real issues here atm. ICS using BT PAN was a bit of a PITA but I got it sorted. A2DP sound quality needs to be tweaked by setting LineSpeed to 320. I was actaully able to simulcast to two different A2DP headsets yesterday...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] simbadogg:
just tried adding the linespeed value of 320, thats not working at all. Looks like no headphones for me tomorrow.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Sleuth255:
LineSpeed only improves the sound quality of a device that's already been successfully paired unfortunately.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] flyhimd:
Bluetooth is TERRIBLE!

I'm about ready to exercise my 30-day return with AT&T and go back to my Tilt. To get decent A2DP Bluetooth audio quality (i.e., doesn't sound scratchy and no skipping) it requires making registry settings FOR EACH DEVICE FOR EACH CONNECTION. Examples:

I have a S9 Motorola bluetooth headset; it skips with a LineSpeed registry setting of 320, but streams music fine with my car. If I cut the LineSpeed back to 200 to make my headphones work, the car sounds scratchy, like an old, dirty, scratched vinyl album.

When I stream from Live365 to my car, it always sounds scratchy. Windows Media and Nitrogen play beter, subject to the LineSpeed issues. So, bottom line, having to make registry mods each time I listen to music is ridiculous!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] flyhimd:
Another Terrible Bluetooth Problem: The Warning Message on Connect

There's another annoying problem with this WIDCOMM stack and A2DP: you get a warning message that the device can't control the volume and you have to use the remote device to set the volume. It pops up every time I get into my car and try to stream to my Sony bluetooth 2600 head unit.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nthdgreee:
Same problems here. Can't get my Jaybird Gear headsets to stay connected to the stereo configuration. It just keeps disconnecting. No problems with my Fuze or my Cingular 8525 though, just my Tilt2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] shapiror06:
So I have a few programs I need to use that look horrible and are almost unusable in WVGA. WVGAFIX3 doesn't seem to work with WinMo 6.5. Is there a similar program out there that works? Or a way to get WVGAFIX3 working in 6.5?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] shapiror06:
nobody? i know someone out there has a low res program they need to run on 6.5...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] pistou:
+1 for this -- i would like to see something like this as well
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] shapiror06:
I know.... i'm half tempted to flash back to a 6.1 rom. I don't really see the advantage of going to 6.5 anyway, it just consumes more ram and not all software is compatible yet.
[HD2 General] Studebaker72:
Hello Forum,

Does anybody know what the ideal size for the contact pictures would be (in pixel)? Coming from the Diamond to the Diamond 2 I was very much surprised to see that the "old" D1 pictures looked quite ugly on the D2. Now I want to be ready for the HD2 when it arrives on Friday.

Anyone?

Greetings, Studebaker
[HD2 General] Archer:
Afraid I can't answer that question myself, but I can tell you that the Facebook integration with your contact list is very well done indeed (once you find it lol!!)

It automatically takes the top-center part of the current contact photo and uses that, so it makes them optimal size (since it does it itself!)

If you've got all, or most of, your contacts on Facebook, you've got nothing to worry about.
[HD2 General] simplymee:
Somewhat true.

Apart from on mine I have three contacts who refuse to sync with facebook. I can't view any of their pictures via facebook mobile and I cannot see their small display pic.

More of a problem with crappy facebook mobile I think though.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Have you tried individually associating each contact with their facebook profile, via the Sense UI?
[HD2 General] simplymee:
How?

If you mean go to the contact - link with facebook - then selecting them from the facebook list, then yes I have tried this. It has a downward arrow next to their silhouette for a few secs then just gives up.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Yeah, that's what I meant. Thought it was worth asking. It took me quite a while to find that, and I've been playing with Sense on my HD for quite a while now. Maybe I'm just a slow learner :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] themaskfly:
Does your led flash when missing call, or when sms email arrives?

after upgrading, my track ball glows when above all happens, but led doesnt flash as before. it turn on only when I charge the phone.

Apps window, make the sections scalable because some app names are larger than the widow size.

Push/Pull window, allow double click to open the folder instad of having to go to enter to open it.

Reorder list by name

i also recommend using the latest version of android (have a look at the development secion of the board) because i'm developing the software using a android 1.6 (donut) phone.

Good afternoon,

Question 1(important):

I have got a litle problem i think..

Since 2 weeks i have got the TD2, i knew there was a problem with the sms sound, when the TD2 was in standby.

But i thought, in 6.5 it will be solved... but NO! So i have updated my TD2 to 6.5, then i downloaded the hotfix, but say's its not compatible.. (i think because its made fore W6.1..

Does anyone know's something to solve this problem ? (without flashing or custom rom's)

Because i am pretty happy with TD2, as it is, right know :)

(exept the alarm..)

Question 2(less important)

I have G-Alarm on my foon, but its an trail version. to make it a full version, i need to get the keygen on my foon, but its zipped...

The unzipper (winrar) is an .exe file, the foon reconised it as an wrong file.

How can i get the .exe files on my pfone ? (or winrar) ?

I hope someone can help me :)

(exuse me for my bad english, its not my main languae (dutch)
[General Questions and Answers] MisterX258:
No one ?:(
[General Questions and Answers] |Jason8|:
What's the problem with the SMS sound? It doesn't play?

Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > choose the Notifications tab

The event will be "Messaging: New text message", select it.

Check "Play sound" and "Vibrate"

Does that help? Or is it something else? It should be fixed in 6.5.......

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjames:
Hi,

I have been reading on several forums that this seems to be a widespread problem and that the remedy is to go to Manage Applications in settings and delete the cache under Gmail and Gmail Storage. This sounds great in theory but guess what? My Gmail storage app has seemed to disappear. I have searched thouroughly and can only find the Gmail listed in Manage Applications. Is there an apk that I can download? Any thoughts on what I might have done to make my Gmail unusable? If it helps, I am using a rooted G1 with Cyanogenmod 4.2.3.1 installed. I had updated to his most recent rom but downgraded to the rom that last had working Gmail hoping that it would sort itself out but it hasn't unfortunately. This kinda sucks since I have changed most of my important addresses to Gmail and have no push through my phone. Thanks for any help.

Chris
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackslim:
I'm not sure as to why this happens becuase I never had the problem. I can tell you that downgrading your cyanogen build won't modify your broken gmail app because his builds don't include that particular app. That's one of the apps that get's pulled from the ADP image. So a quick fix would be to reflash the ADP image, and then apply the new cyan update. Just incase your not familiar with those steps, I'll include a link to his wiki with the steps outlined on how to do this.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Upgrading_From_Older_CyanogenMod_or_other_rooted_ROMs

If you're familiar with using adb you might just be able to pull Gmail.apk & GmailProvider.apk from the ADP download or any other donut build that has those files and "adb push" them over to overwrite the ones on your phone that you're having problems with
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjames:
That makes so much sense, that the solution went right over my head. Sounds like a solid plan and I will try it out as soon as I get home. Thanks soooo much for the suggestion, my G1 was only useful to play SNES games and watch South Park the last few days...lol.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjames:
Worked like a charm after figuring out that in order to flash the image I needed to go back to the cm 1.4 revcovery in order to do so. Still don't know how the file got deleted but again thanks for the suggestion. I was about to chuck my G1 in the recycle bin...lol.

I'm sorry but don't you think that's too many clicks?

I realize that this may not be the popular thing to say around here, but I came from an iPhone 3G. Contemplated getting the 3GS but decided to give WinMo one more try and placed an order for a HD2 just now via DeviceWire.

But getting back on topic.. in the iPhone jailbroken world, there is a fantastic app called "SBSettings". It gets activated by a swipe near the top left area of the screen. From there, you could turn on/off toggles for things such as bluetooth, Edge, HSDPA, rotation, autocorrect, etc etc. People are building other toggles as addons for it all the time. But something like that should also exist for WinMo.

Now that I'm a WinMo newbie (my last windows mobile phone was a PPC-6700 and I swore never then to buy another windows mobile phone again). So there might already be another app just like the one that I'm describing. But if there isn't, it'd be great for someone to build that software. I'd certainly be willing to pay for that kind of conveniences!
