Tip 22

Thanks for the information re: removing those stubborn short cuts. I followed through with two short cuts - I completed blanked those three fields you mentioned for each short cut. For some reason now I have two white color short cuts in those spaces. And I could not add new short cuts in those places either. Any hints? Thanks in advance.

Force Landscape for TomTom 7 you need to download a reg adit software

Auto rotation working fine in my Brandnew HTC now.

Found the tips to get it working somewhere else.

Step 1:

Go to the following Registry key:

HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\Gsensor\ModuleName

Add a new STRING Value:

Name: TomTom

Value: \Program Files\navigator\tomtomnavigator.exe (if you have a different language you may need to change Program Files to whatever you have)

Please note that in this case TomTom is installed on the Device, NOT the Storage Card.

Step 2:

Go to the following Registry key:

HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\Gsensor\Whitelist

Add a new STRING Value:

Name: TomTom

Value: MunichWinClass

Now do a Soft Reset, and now when you start TomTom and put your HD2 in Landscape, TomTom will rotate automatically.

OK, here's a tip. I had problems with my internetspeed and also with "my location". often it wouldn't update or it wouldn't recognize my location. (wrong time, temperature and no city mentioned)

I realized I had a pretty old sim card, I don't exactly know how old, but I'd say 5 or 6 years old. I asked for a new one from my provider (T-mobile) and they sent it to me for free. Now my internetspeed is where it should be and I have no problems with "my location" anymore.

The new sim card looks pretty different from the older one, more lines on the chip.

So in short. When you have problems with your internetspeed or "my location", and you have an old sim card. Try asking for a new one.

Guys. Re the issue lots of us are having with Peep only managing to connect through WiFi. Here's the fix that has worked for me.

I'm on T Mobile UK, so it's possible that this is a T Mob specific issue.

1) Goto Settings > Wireless Controls > Tap Data Connection (the label, not the switch)

2) Tap menu, then Update Database

3) Follow the instructions and then OK the reboot.

This Updated Database seems to be the key!

4) Once restarted, goto Settings > Menu, All Settings. Then Connections, Connections again, then Set up my proxy server.

5) Disable the proxy and you're all set.

Does anyone else have a long lag with sms messages? when i click a message with say 20 messages in the conversation, it appears quickly on the screen, but when i tap to compose message theres no response. I assume this is due to loading all the messages in the conversation. i have read that one solution is you press send and then no when you get the no text warning, but should we have to do this? the only other alternative i have found is to clear messages regularly, but then whats the point in the conversations feature?! On my previous omnia only the last few recent messages were loaded and you could click a link to older messages, is it possible to do this on the HD2?

65. Move Opera Cache Files to Storage Card

Open Opera and type "opera:config" in the address bar. You'll then be in the config page. Find the section "User Prefs".

In there you should find something called "Cache Directory4". Just change that path to any directory in your storage card

(for example : "\Storage Card\OperaCache").

How do you get this to "stick"? I've tried several times to change this and it always goes back to the default setting.

A tweak for those of us that want to prolong batterylife at the cost of dataspeeds:

In the windows-folder, find CMBandSwitching and copy it.

Go to the windows\startmenu\programs folder and click menu -> paste as shortcut. I renamed it to bandswitcher.

You should now have a blue phone on the startmenu which allows you to set your band to GSM only, disabling UMTS/HSDPA and leaving only GPRS, which should drain your battery less.

Go back to Auto to regain HSDPA.

I don't think so, as I have a HD2 with Dutch ROM and I experience no problems at all with Dutty's TM and Twitter tab.

I *can* confirm that you run into trouble if you apparently don't stick to the black weather wallpaper. I installed one of the default moving coloured wallpapers, and also this cab (I can't recall having read the warning before...). After that, I had no problems at all, could use the 16 tabs just fine. But after I installed three Touch X cabs (Transparent Start menu, remove top curtain and background on all tabs), the Vovichek 16 tabs got distorted and on sliding down to the bottom 12, my HD2 froze.

Uninstall of the latter 3 cabs, and Vovichek62's cab did not help and I ended up hard resetting my HD2.
