For Netframework ~ Download the cab from the following link and install to Device only - not Storage Card and then reset. http://justpctech.com/PPC/NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab

Don't copy rar files to Phone, not unless you have software to unrar the files.

You need to unrar first on your PC (use Winrar or similar).

Once files have been unrar'ed you then need to look at the files.

If it is a .exe this means it needs to be first installed onto your PC and then using Activesync (for WinXP) to install onto your Phone.

If however it is a .cab file simply copy to your Phone and using Explorer or Resco Explorer (which is better) click on the .cab file and it will intall the file.

I don't know if this has been covered yet, but I've got a tip on adding your own album art a little easier.

As with all WinMo based phones, you can add an image file named "folder.jpg" to the album's folder and the phone will recognize it automatically and convert it to the format the player will recognize. Mind you, as far as I know, only JPEG files will work.

Ok, here is one tip I have discovered, regarding the Flash.

I have seen comments that a flash on HTC HD2 is too bright, which it really is, on some cases.

Since the led surface is quiet wide, (due to the fact that there are two leds) it is easy to slowly slide the finger over it, thus "turning off" one led light. This works so good that you can actually fine-tune the flash brightness on the scene.

Hope this helps!

T Mobile

If you use this connections with the N wireless cab from xda developers you will get ZERO loading times on youtube application that cames with HD2 and zero loading time using skyfire and nearly zero loading time on opera. Besides your normal free internet you get on your package you need to get the £5.00 additional internet add on from t-mobile which will give you 3 GB of a fair use of policy data and benefit of this add on is you have a full internet connection just like your wifi. all you have to do is follow this steps below, it only works with this settings, nothing else will work not even the settings coming with the phone.

T-Mobile will never give you this settings I ask them and they dont now about it, I think they only aloud to give you the normal mobile settings, which are very slow, just call them and update your internet data from 1GB to 3GB and you will see. I will make a video of my HD2 loading a youtube video zise 8:13 in less than 1 second just like my wifi

believe me guys it will work just give it a try

1-Tap connections

2-tap advanced

3-tap select networks

4-tap new

5- enter name for connection: T-mobile internet

6-select a modem: cellular line (GPRS)

Access Point Name: general.t-mobile.uk

Username: user

Password: wap

Tap “Advanced” and make sure both tabs have selected “Use Server Assigned IP Address”

Tap “Finish” then Tap “Proxy Settings”.

untick “This network connects to the Internet” and “ This network connects to a proxy server…”

Tap finish 4 times to finish.

You can also get the current gold price in the stock tabs:

This also works for Siler (XAG) and a few others...

^NDX = Nasdaq 100

I have managed to remove the locked quicklinks on the home page after reading a post on a Whirlpool forum, and completed a few other incredible tweaks from here, 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?

I saved ~30 mb of main storage and have also a very special feature of HD2:

I downloaded newest Google Maps Mobile 3.3.1 from Google and installed it to my Storage card

Now Google Maps is using automatically /storage card/applicationdata/googlemaps to cache the maps :)

I copied old cache from main storage (/applicationdata/googlemaps/cache) to the new folder,so I don't have to move through the maps to reload the known locations.

then I deleted /applicationdata/googlemaps and freed up around 30 mb of my main storage for the future.

and now the feature of 3.3.1... (no,position is set very exactly, I mean sth else... ) :

DigitalCompass is working in gmm :) - on my 1.48 stock rom, I can now turn around and instead of the blue point the blue arrow is turning around with me to the correct direction :)

I wonder that I haven't read it here so far - perhaps some users can confirm it for their ROMs.

I added the new values for german keyboard (0c07.xml and 0d07.xml) and

so it works also for german Leo devices. Zip with the two files is attached
