I'd say stay with whichever you like best. It's not about WinMo vs. iPhone, but rather what fits you best. If you prefer the iPhone, so be it. If the TP2 fits your style better, good for you. I have an iPhone (1st gen), an iPod Touch (1st gen), a TP2, and a Kaiser, and I have to say that they're all great devices, but I personally prefer the Windows Mobile devices because the OS is more flexible/hackable, and it fits me better. I don't think you could make a wrong decision between the two, since they're both quite decent, so I'd say go with you gut.

Different functionality

Hi all

I have a TP2, I have friends with both iPhone and Hero (Android). It strikes me that if you are going for communication and particularly need a full exchange service then WM is your best bet. Android, or at least the Hero, seems to be best for social networking and the iPhone seems generally good at everything with a very smooth interface.

After my htc touch(very satisfied with this phone), i've got an mda V from T-mobile. I can't say i'm that enthousiastic about it. Only showing upcoming appointments one day ahead i find the most anoing thing about it. I'm not a person who's knows everything about the latest gadgets, so it might be a dumb question. But is it possible to get more appointments on the startscreen (maybe several days ahead).

I've done the T-mobile update and i've been to the T-mobile shop to ask the same question, but they don't know....

I think there must be an easy way to get it done, but i just don't know how.

Hero Keyboard (htc keyboard download)

Hi there, here is a download for the Hero keyboard, (which is the htc one, i havent actually tested it my self.

http://bit.ly/9daoNP

heres the notes on it from ShariarKuasa

It has no lag either and has phone keypad, full qwerty, and compact. But for some reason it only has t9 when texting and not in search option but still worth replacing the usual Keyboard. To install just download the zip file then extract and install the two apk's then go to settings>locale & text> then check the touch input then long press on the text box area till it says input then select touch input. (you have to install clicker apk and htc_ime apk for this to work).

It works on both root and non-root users.

Hi,

I just purchased a new HTC Touch HD phone T8285.

I have realised that it has come pre-loaded with a lot of Telstra configuration. I am not a Telstra customer and I would like to start with a clean phone in the factory shipped state.

I am in Australia and currently have a contract through Virgin (Optus)

Can anyone advise how I can reset the phone configuration so that all reference to Telstra is removed and that the standard factory settings are in place for Australia.

Any help is appreciated

Social Web - Remove Telstra Wap Redirections ?

HI,

Dont know if anyone can help ... I have been searching the forums, but cant find this anywhere, so apologies if it is answered somewhere else.

I have a new HD2 with Telstra. I have managed to remove the locked quicklinks on the home page, and completed a few other incredible tweaks, but I just cannot seems to get the Social Web links to work when connected to WiFi - they will work when connected via Next G.

On WiFi, when I click on the Facebook icon for example, I get redirected to waprd.telstra.com/redirect?target=facebook-g ... and then nothing happens for about a minute. Just a white screen until I get a message saying "Could not connect to the remote server" . Yet, when I am connected via Next G I connect to Facebook immediately.

I have tried to find the xml code to change the URl, but I cannot find it anywhere.

Is anyone else having this problem, and if they did, was there a solution? Overall I am really happy with the phone (now that I seem to have spent about 3 days tweaking it!) and I would really like to get this fixed.

Thanks so much in advance.

Sarah

[General Questions and Answers] Boxersox:
Hey Magic3091

Unfortunately most of those items are hard wired into the ROM. And the ROM is written to Telstra's specs. Hence the branding and all the BS

I suggest you try a new ROM to remove all of these. You'll have to do some reading to find out which is best for you.

I only just got my HD, and having seen how much Telstra stuff is there I WILL be ROMing it. I just need to figure out which one. If I rememder I will post which I choose.

Currently the MIRI rom looks like the best - new WinMob6.5 and Touch flo.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tstack77:
Now that rooting is behind us and we have the complete kernel source, is it possible to change the double menu press to wake the device? I think that it's just too damn simple and I've been pocket-dialing my contacts multiple times a day (I'm pretty sure that this is directly caused by our lack of a chin).

So, is it possible to either delete the double menu option altogether or add a press to the sequence (eg menu-search-menu)?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] LA2two:
I second this. That would be awesome as this is the only reason I even use an unlock pattern.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tstack77:
Damn LA2two, been a member since '06 and this is your first post?! You must really hate the double menu sequence :p

And I tried the unlock pattern for about 3 minutes, just couldn't stand the thought of having to jump through that hoop 100 times/day.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Nanan00:
Yep, my phone has called a few people while in my pocket. I now use a pattern lock to prevent that kind of stuff from happening.

Haha funny that you mention it but yeah, this issue is enough to finally get me to post. I tried Lock 2.0 and it's a halfway decent substitute but I want my phone to just work without any application substitutes.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tstack77:
I downloaded the hero kernel to see if I couldn't Sherlock my way around to find a solution...all I learned is that I have no idea what I'm doing.

Would someone with a greater linux skill-set point me in the right direction or explain where I would find a hardware assignment such as this?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thecodemonk:
This wouldn't be so much of a hardware/kernel issue as a configuration of the unlock screen program. I have lock 2.0 and the menu double press doesn't unlock the screen there so it's something to do with the lockscreen we currently have...not sure where the config or if there even it one but it's something in the OS, not the kernel.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ajones7279:
Don't think you can change it. I believe the maker of Lock 2.0 said himself it couldn't be changed. That "feature" is present on all Android devices.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tstack77:
That does make sense. I was under the impression that this was more than simply activating the HtcLockScreen.apk

I'll pull and unzip that apk and see what I can find.

codemonk, you are proving yourself extremely helpful here on xda, thanks.

Edit: ajones, I thought the same thing before too. And if that is the case, wouldn't there be something in the Hero kernel that sets that hardware parameter?

Edit2: I unzipped HtcLockScreen.apk and found nothing that I can work with...this is definitely over my head.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ajones7279:
Ooh looks like he updated Lock 2.0 where it wouldn't unlock with Menu. Last time I tried it did. You could unlock with almost any button. Now pressing menu brings up the options screen and you can press home screen and it'll unlock.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] CapnBry:
I too find myself unlocking the phone (I assume with a double menu press) especially when pulling it out of my bag where my thumb is apparently a MENU seeking missile. I'll check out Lock 2.0.

tstack77: If you're interested in what's in HtcLockScreen, check out the android userland source code, not the kernel. What you're looking for is com.android.internal.policy.impl.LockScreen. The HTC one is somewhat similar to the default internally which looks like this:

179 public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
180 if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MENU) {
181 mCallback.goToUnlockScreen();
182 }
183 return false;
184 }

Except the HTC one checks to see if a SIM card is missing and won't unlock if there isn't one (except to make emergency calls). Of course the "SIM card" appears to be always present on this phone, but the point is that there's no option to disable this behavior. Well, you could edit the ODEX binary and change the "load register v0 with 82", replacing the 82 (MENU key) with 0 and it would disable it
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] duckworth:
So I installed Lock 2.0 and it helps a bit, but I still wish it disabled the menu key completely.

Does anyone know how to make it run automatically at start up? Kind of useless if I have to remember to run it manually.

Also, it's link to Home on it's Menu goes to the standard Android home screen and not the HTC Sense one.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Nanan00:
I guess you could go and open the ODEX in a hex editor and find "if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MENU)" and NOOP it out, this would kill the menu key calling unlock. This is something I would test via emulator before doing so on the phone.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tstack77:
When I hear the term 'hex editor' I usually start running. This time I tried to expand my knowledge but I simply had too difficult of a time learning all this on my own here...google has not been very forthcoming with hex editing an odex file (deodexerant???).

That said, I really appreciate the ideas but I am simply not qualified to pull this off. However, I think that I have found an easier workaround for someone that does have the knowledge of such things.

Instead of worrying about deleting or adding a button press, how about simply cutting the time that the lock-screen is awake from 15 seconds down to 3? I am pretty sure that this would drastically cut down on the random calls, plus give us a better battery life while keeping the out-of-pocket functionality of menu2. And it might be an easy change of one single parameter (somewhere).

Thoughts?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tstack77:
Over the last few days I have tried lock 2.0 but I find that the battery drain is worse than the pocket dialing problem. With lock 2.0 the lockscreen comes up with a press of the trackball, leading to near 100% screen uptime in my pocket.

I can't believe that HTC implemented a ridiculous 15 second timeout with no option to change it.

argh
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] scirio:
I completely agree.

I absolutely hate the default lockscreen and its behaviour. It actually makes me miss my WM6 phone! I've complained about it here, @ppcgeeks, @htc's twitter account, @sprintusers and @the official sprint forums.

Lock 2.0 looks nice but is more frustrating because every button on the phone, including volume keys, power up the screen and drain your battery.

Problems with Default Lock

Double clicking Menu is way way too simple

Enabling the pattern lock DOES NOT disable the slide to unlock

default slide-down-to-unlock has way to much inertia, you barely have to flick it to wipe it away. My leg can unlock it when i take a step THROUGH my pocket material. unlike the side-to-side iphone lock that requires you to fully drag the slider from point A to the right position at point B.

Even with the pattern lock enabled you can still hit Menu > Menu > accidentally hit emergency call (with leg or trackball)and then your buttons are beeping non stop while you walk GGRRRRRRR

i almost threw this phone against the concrete the other day due to this. $10 to whoever makes this work right.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] scirio:
Looks great but sucks like a vacuum. Any/every button lights up your screen = nearly 100% uptime.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ajones7279:
Ehhh, it's subjective. Some people like the lockscreen. I do. But then again, I use a pattern lock and a case on my belt so I never have the problem you guys do. You could always delete the HTC Lockscreen but then again, the default android lockscreen still unlocks with the menu button.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tstack77:
Is it possible to change the uptime of the default lockscreen? I really think 99% of problems would be solved with a 3-second lock.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] shifty50:
I have to agree that the lock screen is pretty much worthless. Not only do I pocket dial, but my 10 month old son is able to unlock the phone...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jmanley69:
maybe we're going about this the wrong way... What about "if you can't beat them, join them"

Let the phone do what it does (unlock on Menu Menu), but write a program that looks for Menu Menu, checks for the lock state to go from lock to unlock (that step is important... we don't want to autolock on menu menu when you're in an app), and then relock the phone before you have a chance to pocketdial (and maybe put the phone to sleep right away too so you don't wait 15 seconds).

Or... a program that traps the Menu button and keeps trapping it for 15 seconds not allowing you to press it again (that's probably not a good idea since I've had to press Menu a few times in some programs before they respond).
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tstack77:
I deleted Htclockscreen apk/odex out of my app folder then restarted. Now I have the basic lock screen box but the screen still stays awake for the full 15 seconds...this is both good and bad news.

Good, the timeout delay is not locked up in an HTC apk that we can't change. Bad, it's somewhere else.

Now how do we find it?

I'll post the question in the QA sections to see if our GSM brethren have this one figured out already, search didn't help.

I'd really just like to remove the (first) lock screen entirely. I use a pattern unlock, it's kind of silly to have to unlock the phone twice to access it.
