[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ThreeTima:
Well, I have the Sprint TP2.... I've never really had this problem. To tell the truth, I am not a big fan of Verizon after they screwed ma a few years back. It wouldn't surprise me if they did.

On a separate note, there are a few places I have seen that it doesn't come up as a clickable link, but that is usually due to poor formatting.

To tell the truth, I rarely use the function. I find TeleNav (or Sprint Navigation, as it is on the sprint phone) to be a much easier way of doing things. Google Maps, Bing, and various other apps are also excellent way of searching for phone numbers. Both Bing (Initally called Windows Live "out of the box" but prompts for update soon after) and TeleNav (I know is available on Sprint phones and most AT&T phones) are available "out of the box" and can do what you are looking for.

If I cannot find a number through them, I know of many mobile sites that offer look-up services that show the phone numbers as links, regardless of what browser you are using.

I guess I had taken it for granted that phone numbers have always been available to me and with very little work, if any.

Maybe it needs further looking into, by both us the consumers, and the makers of our software.

Good luck with Verizon.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] wildcard:
What?? Are you sure? So if you go to: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/pa/recordedforecasts.php (using Opera or IE on your TP2) the phone numbers there are links that you can click on? How did you do that? Mine doesn't and right now it is bone stock (about to flash NRG LEO ROM). I have a Verizon TP2.

I'd much prefer Android over WinMo. I tried 6.5 roms on the vogue and disliked it even more than 6.1.

Granted I haven't got to look into WinMo's new market, but the Android one is nice.

Google Maps navigation in 2.0 is really nice.

Push on my Gmail.

Nice integration on my Google Voice.

Or Guava with my Gizmo5 account so I can use Google Voice over 3g data for free phone calls. I have yet to find a good sip program to integrate with gizmo5 and google voice in WinMo.

How much of Android is ported to the TP2? I'm looking at upgrading and don't like Sprint's Android options at the current moment. Wondering about picking up the TP2 and wondering if I could sale it for enough to grab the next android phone. Unless the android port is 100%.

TP2 beats Android and Lack of feature Iphone

People trust me whoever has the HTC TP2 you have a excellent phone that does good for personal & business use. Forget Iphone has why you want a Iphone which is not a open phone meaning it is restricted for Apple. Also Iphone battery is welded in and can't swap a new battery if you end up in a tight situation. Trust me Iphone is not a good phone to have for traveling. Also what Iphone can't expand Storage space has it is built into the phone which is a joke! If you have windows phone like great TP2 you can customize the phone and can expand the phone for storage which has built in MicroSD which offers (2,4,8,16,32,64 gig storage space) and yes battery can be swapped anytime.

If you want to see the Touch Pro 2 in action goto here which this phone Killed the Iphone and blackberry and yes can destroy the Android. The thing good about Windows phone is that they can expand further, no restrictions and yes they do have great Apps has well. They are also good in performance.

The other phones like Iphone and Android are just all hype and just to me are just App phones. Boring...

Have you tried that web page? It doesn't work for me, and I don't think they made a special ROM just for *me*

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] dekebro:
On my computer, I clicked on the above link and guess what? The phone numbers don't show up as links there either. So it would stand to reason that they won't be links on the TP2 or any other cell phone browser. The state names are links and very much clickable on a computer browser and the TP2.

Andriod HOrrible Browser

I had the Samsung Moment, and HTC Hero, I gave my moment away, didn't like the battery issues, Android across the board has battery issues even the Vrz Droid. Most annoying issue right now is the Browser, really bad, the browser navigation is great on the Hero, but it's soo slow it's not worth surfing the web. I went to download a file on the samsung moment, and a screen came up saying this is file/program is not compatible with your phone. It never let me download the file.

To many issues for now. Soon it will get better. Once they get a full blown browser and fix the GPS/Battery Bugs, I'll would consider the switch. App store nice and the touch screens are amazingly sweet. That is what the android will do that the TP2 won't. But what keeps me on the TP2 is all the custom apps and Wifi Router.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] slick69:
Are you dense or do you just not understand why you would want telephone numbers clickable on a PHONE?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] dekebro:
No, I'm not dense but apparently 'slick69' you are. Never did I mention that I didn't like phone numbers as clickable links. I merely pointed out that the phone numbers on the page link provided by 'wildcard' did not contain any clickable phone numbers. I have used clickable phone numbers before and found them to be extremely useful when they're available.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] THE-COPS:
So the numbers on the NOAA site are not clickable...same here. Nor are many other phone numbers displayed on many websites. Just putting a phone number on a web page doesn't make it clickable. I believe the number has to be linked to some kind of dialer script or whatnot. Bare bones phone numbers don't work. The only numbers that are ever clickable for me are the ones posted in text messages.

I love my TP2 (despite the flashing and tethering issues). It's the best phone I ever had. Call quality is very good. Best I ever heard on a digital network. Sure beats that suckass quality I had on my Q9M.

Verizon has a buy one Droid - Get one free deal going on right now. Are these the same Droid phones that have the sucky battery life? And if so, just how bad? Motorola Q battery life BAD???? Is it true that you must have some paid Google account to even use a Droid? Or is that just BS?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] slick69:
The point is that Safari on an iPhone automatically makes the numbers clickable. I can confirm that Safari on my iPod touch makes the numbers clickable, but since it can't dial, it only asks me if I want to save it to a contact.

EDIT: The worst part is that even with the vaunted copy-paste in Windows Mobile, you can't copy a number from, say, a website, then paste it into the Dialer.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Coderedpl:
Hmm

Settings are in a pretty basic and one place as far as i remember on my g1.

Apps2sd is possible. Aka your apps get saved on your sd card. Its an integrated option in many roms now.

Android has custom apps too and it has tethering via either: Bluetooth, wifi or usb cable.

Not bashing on either phone, i just switched from g1 to tp2 myself. Now looking for a good maps application since thats what i really used my G1 a lot for. FREE
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] butler360:
I've asked this question many times. I can never get a straight answer. Either users of one platform aren't knowledgeable about the other, or there is very little (or perhaps nothing) that Android can do that Windows Mobile cannot. My guess is that it's a little bit of both with some added emphasis on the latter. :rolleyes:

And I don't fully get the whole Android is better for Google Apps thing. I know it makes logical sense, but I get push mail through my Google Apps account just fine on my TP2 using the exchange integration or emulation, whatever it's called. It also syncs my Google Apps calendar right into the phone's calendar. Contacts work, too.

In short, I'm sure Android is good and all but it's also perceived as better mostly due to hype and newness. They also benefit from the Windows Mobile bashing going on so often these days.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jlawson:
I'm delighted to hear about the phone sound quality. I went through 3 different Droids with terrible, and quirky, sound issues. Finally gave up and have been thinking about moving to a TP2.

But let's be fair, Android 2.0 is way quicker to pick up -- and quicker to operate. I moved to the Droid from a WinMo device, and as you pointed out there are some advantages to WinMo, but for the average user Android's got to be better. But WinMo definitely gets an undeserved amount of criticism.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] dik23:
I have a friend with a new Moto Droid and I have to say while I like the Android idea the hardware released so far has not been for me.

Until now that is. That Droid really is something, and I have to say I do believe it's head and shoulders above my TP2. I am now seriously considering ebay for my TP2 and moving on, although I am still supprised that Motorola have managed to produce something I want. They've never even come close to that before and I really think it's Android that's made the difference. If that thing was running WM I wouldn't even take a second look.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] butler360:
So what's different or better?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] dik23:
Compared to what ?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] butler360:
Windows Mobile.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] dik23:
The OS seems much smoother, more responsive and more professionally put together. That last impression could well be to do with the fact that manilla and WM don't sit too well together although I do applaud HTC for trying to bring WM up to date. Microsoft doesn't seem to want to try.

With my TP2 I am constantly having this problem where I tap the screen, nothing happens so I tap it again only for it to perform two actions. This is annoying, esp when the second action is deleting an email or sending it before it's finished. Just one example that doesn't seem to happen on my friends Droid when I have used it.

The whole user experience on the Droid is much improved to what I find on my TP2.

The hardware is solid and has been manufactured to a far higher standard than my TP2. There is no way you'll be out looking for a replacement back if you accidentally sat on it too hard, but you might have a limp for a little while ! HTC has gradually been improving the build quality, I used to have a Hermes which was built like a cheap children's toy, but it's still rather feeble in comparison.

Microsoft might like to think that they are concentrating on the business user but I think business users want a smooth interface as much as anyone else. And editing Word and Excel files on the move is no great achievement that can't be done elsewhere. Although editing spreadsheets and databases of any real size, I think, needs a real screen. And business users want Blackberrys for email. I use both Windows and Linux everyday on PCs and really the only reason Windows gets a look now is that I can play games on it when I want a break !

Microsoft haven't shown me anything new for quite sometime and by staying still they are basically moving backwards. I do think that a lot of manufacturers have been waiting for Android 2 to be released and that we will see the platform - both hard and software available - advance at a considerable pace now.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] briansteedman:
I use Gmail and a bunch of Google apps and have no problems with my winmo TP2. Just my $0.02.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] onree:
While I agree that at the moment, Android and WM are reasonably equivalent, I think the real question is going forward -- even now, many of the newer apps are being developed for iPhone/Android/Blackberry, but no Windows Mobile version. You see this in everything from companies like TomTom to content providers like MLB. So unless Microsoft can generate some momentum for their OS (is anyone really excited about WM7?), I think in the long run Windows Mobile will be a losing bet simply because the development base is going to shrink, and all the newfangled geewhiz stuff will only be available on other platforms. And this is coming from someone who has been on WM for a couple years now -- switched over from PalmOS (another dead duck).
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] butler360:
I think people are pretty excited about WM7, actually. It will all depend on how good WM7 is, basically. One thing I hate about Google is that while they provide some great stuff for free, they kind of just do whatever the heck they feel like and often leave features out for no discernable reason. Like setting a default zoom level in Chrome. Or check out the Google support forums. A bunch of people complaining, Google saying nothing.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] wud_e:
WM7 Connectivity to XBLIVE has a Heck of a lot of potential. Let them keep their "Apps" I see MS doing big things with this feature alone.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Calibob2001:
2 Cents

A couple things the Motorola Droid does that TP2 doesn't:

True GPS, in addition with aGPS, this is called sGPS

Compass

Dedicated video processing, which is why the OS runs so smooth (Processor is 800 Hz locked down to 550Hz)

SkyMap is amazing and TP2 can't even come close to offering it. Even if a programmer were to create the app, the TP2 doesn't have a compass, which is how the Droid knows which way its pointed

Apps that compete with the iPhone

5MP Camera
​

A couple things the TP2 does better:

Ability to flash with any ROM you want!

Insanely better battery life

Much better keyboard (Larger and each button is curved so you can feel it, the all the keys on the Droids keyboard are level and the D-Pad takes up a lot of room)

Screen Tilts when keyboard is slid out

Installing apps to a memory card can be handy (something the droid cannot so)
​

Both Phones are highly equipped pieces of hardware. I'd have to say that the SkyMap app on the Droid is almost cool enough itself to get me to switch form the TP2 to the Droid, but not quite... Someone earlier said it best, once the glamor and glitter wear off, its just another OS. Look at the hardware and history of the manufacturers, HTC is hands down better than Motorola when it comes to PDA phones. Personally, I'd rather stick with the TP2 where I have FULL control over my device, the OS, and who knows, maybe the Android port will be done before the TP3 is released...

-just my 2 cents -

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mobius999:
I'm confused here. What do you mean the TP2 doesn't have true GPS? Are the satellites I am linking to imaginary? Because I see them in the HTC utility, and some of my programs have a setting to turn off assisted gps and I still get accurate locations.

Please elaborate.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Calibob2001:
Sure: The following website will help explain things... http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/gps_vs_agps_a_quick_tutorial.html

The TP2 is not a standalone device, meaning that it requires signal from the towers in order to work. You see satellites on your phone because the towers are sending the info to your phone.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] butler360:
How do you know it's not a standalone GPS device? I always thought the aGPS was an option, not a requirement, and that it merely sped up GPS satellite finding. In the comments of that article you linked to, someone says that the TP2 does have regular GPS.

Also, the article states:

"Standalone mode is important. This means you do not need the carrier network at all to use GPS and usually you can install any GPS mapping software to boot."

I can install any GPS software on my TP2, so does that means it's a standalone device?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] football0552:
Ummm... just to clear things up.

The TP2 absolutely is a standalone GPS device if you would like. The use of TomTom/Igo/Garmin etc. does NOT require cellular service. I've used the tp2 for GPS use while backpacking outside of service multiple times.

also, the TP2 does have aGPS as well.

ALSO, as far as I know, even with the Droid, you still need towers in order to use google for GPS, which is the main gps draw for Droid.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] butler360:
Ah, so there we have it! Thanks.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mward28:
Just to throw my hat in the ring, I also agree that it comes down far more to the hardware of the phones rather than the software. I think WM compared to the other OS's has a little bit greater range of apps and abilities because of it being open and the support behind it (like this forum).

However, I think what the other OS's do, they do a little bit better. For instance, I have never see an Iphone freeze up. Heck, I don't even know if they have soft reset buttons. Same thing for the Droid, that thing has zero lag for whatever it does. The capacitive screens are also amazing to use which is why I was really hoping for the HD2 to come to Sprint...
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] football0552:
I agree wholeheartedly about the hardware. On to your OS point though, the Droid actually does lag an farts (ha) and coughs and sputters. Just ask Molly Wood at CNET, she's been *****ing about it on BOL recently. I do agree that the Iphone runs far more smoothly than WM, but I think a lot of that is that its honestly a more "basic" OS. It doesn't really allow Multitasking, its not customizable, companies don't run different "homescreens." The point is its a closed echosystem. Its awesome and terrible at the same time.

Also, I thought I would love a cap. screen, but having tried to type on my brother in laws Touch and a few Iphones in passing, after using my nails to type for years with a Vogue, I cannot use the damned thing. I am sure that I would get used to it, but I feel like a big thumbed (which I'm not) bumbling idiot on the thing.
[General Topics] royale192:
So i posted in the marketplace for a feeler on seling my htc pure. found out no can do not on the board long enough. Well was looking for some help with Rom's for it, glad i did not, the dam thing. less than 3 days old froze up twice. so Guess what its going back to at&t, got them to up grade me to a tilt 2 thats what i wanted in the first place. YEA.....

I started with a fuse in march, week 2 bluetooth failed , warr exchange, lasted till oct, unit freezing causing soft reset, did hard reset, still freezing, none have been modded. refurb phone after 2 weeks freezing, by now i am thinking wow i must have the worst luck. so they upgrade me to a pure, that is not really what i wanted but it was an upgrade. figure new phone lets fix it before it breaks. Could not even put it up for sale before that thing start freezing after sending text message's. so back to at&t, spent a total of 8 plus hours over the last week on the phone and driving to the store 3 times. I must say they have been really good and fair. I will say that htc might have problems but at&t have kept me happy. just thought to vent alittle. Wouldlike a little incite. should i do any mods or just leave it alone. I have seen that new rom and updates make the phone much better? using the search function.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cheetahx:
Hiya.

Im using my TP2 for two month and Im really satisfied with this phone (as I did with TyTnII (thanks for tab and ok keys there ;-).

But few things bother me so Im trying to ask here:

1) Default action in email is reply all. Is it possible to change it to reply?

2) incomming SMS have long vibration time. Where can I to make it shorter?

3) When Im calling someone and he pick it up, it vibrate. But too short, can it be longer?

4) there is possible to set phone to switch to external microphone when its faced down. But in spite of the fact that I have it checked, it doesnt work :-(

5) row, where is battery, time and notification pole is everything extept battery notification filed. It means that anywhere I click Notifications is opened. What bother me the most is, that there is for example new email and when I click on it nothing happened ;-(. Rhodium Pack should solve this problem, but its not avaible anymore because of some licence problem.

6) I was always using another than original rom. In TP1 I was using song recognize program, TCPMP, etc. Can someone give me advice, what ROM is now the best? What ROMs are you using and why? Can someone explain me what are shortcuts in the names (WWE etc)? Im in Western Europe, but why its so important?

Thanks a lot!!

John
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] myrandex:
I don't know the answers to everything, but I know that there are places in the registry that can be removed (named OutlookEnhancement) to remove the reply all. Here is one area to look:

[HKLM\Services\OutlookEnhancement]

"DLL"="OutlookEnhancement.dll"

Remove the OutlookEnhancement.dll field. I'm sure if you searched for something like remove reply all, you will find hits on it explaining how to do it.

I've seen the long vibrate on text, and haven't felt the need to change it but every now and then a bug happens where it vibrates REALLY long, like over a minute, and then I just hit a button to stop it.

I've never seen a Vibrate on Connect modification to let it vibrate longer.

Mine usually switches to external mic when I flip it upside down. I've had it not to it once or twice. Does your G-Sensor work in applications? Maybe Calibrate it? And try it on a level non moving surface (like a table).

WWE means World Wide English. Best ROM questions usually go unanswered here. Everyone's preferences for a favorite rom are different. Line up and sample the Chef's selections and see which one tastes best to you :)

UPDATED, see 2nd post for more details.

Touch Reader is a text file reader that has touch scroll.

This program is still in early development, and is not very pretty at all! (Hey, i'm a programmer, not an artist)

There will be a new version with UI improvements soon.

This program is written in C++ using just the win32 and GDI interfaces, so it should not require any libraries, and should work on any windows mobile/pocketPC version (Although i might have to re-compile it against a different SDK, let me know if it works.)

It will work on any screen size, although on larger screens, the text and buttons get too small at the moment (i'm working on it).

TODO:

- Save/resume last position of files.

- Adjustable font size

- Show percentage and line number

- Goto line/percent

- Kinetic scroll (as in flick and it keeps going)

- Optimisation (Draw to buffers)

Planned for future:

- Graphics in UI (ie. skinning of buttons, etc.)

- Chapter index, goto chapter

- Unicode/multibyte file support

- More file format support

There is one known bug that I will NOT fix:

If a word is too large to fit on the screen in one line, it is just clipped, not cut and wrapped.

I have also attached the Win32 binary if you want to just take a look without putting it on your phone.
