[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] Motorious:
Hey guys, I've googled this and had no luck. A friend of mine has purchased what I think is an ingenious little accessory. Essentially it is a snap on belt case/cradle for his phone with a battery attached to it. You pop the blackberry into the cradle/case (and it's about not obscenely large) and it charges the blackberry. At the end of the day, you take it home and charge the cradle)

I think this is an awesome alternative to having a huge battery attached to a phone. I would LOVE to have something like this for the touch pro, however have had no luck finding it.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has come across something similar for the TP.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] Fred Doolie:
Could you make something like this with a mintyboost, penlight batteries (or button cells or a nine volt radio battery!) and an existing case? A thing like that is on my TODO list as soon as I get a round tuit. All my existing tuits are triangular.

Edit: The mintyboost thing could go in one of my fannypack pockets with a cable going to the phone. How much do a few rechargable penlight batteries weigh? Nothing.

Edit: And here's a rechargable version http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-solar-iPodiPhone-charger-aka-Might

Bigger and bulkier, yes but would still be fannypackable <--IS THAT A WORD???
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] dcarr622:
This would be very cool
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] Fred Doolie:
Try this. A batterypack with a built-in charger

I, as many other people do not update to CyanogenMod because the need to do a "wipe data/factory reset". I have lots of applications installed that have stored information and I cannot lose the data.

Could you make everything possible to prevent having to do a "wipe data/factory reset" or at least conserve all the information at the end of the upgrade? Lots of people cannot afford losing any data.

Backup For Root Users from Market.....

or AppManager

or My Backup Pro

Also, it is required to wipe data/factory reset because of the new way to backup Google's Proprietary apps and restore them, in order to keep legal.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amparorivadeney:
What are the differences between them?

What should I be using to fully backup and restore as easy as possible?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTIChris04:
Just wipe and reinstall everything, you'll thank me later for telling you to do so!

But if you want to chicken out, use backup for root users app. It will back up everything and then some. Great app.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lorin.bute:
Hey guys.

I had a Samsung Omnia for about 9 months before geting the TP2. On the omnia i put a cooked wm 6.5 rom (lots of builds, i flashed once every 2 weeks with a newer build).

But with WM 6.5 i had a major issue. I was getting my emails every 5 minutes and every 5 minutes the messaging screen would pop up but showing only the top bar and the bottom bar. The middle was the current app that i was looking at. I could interact with the bottom bar (the soft keys) and stuff. That is really annoying because if i play a game or watch a movie it interrupts it.

I want to upgrade to 6.5 on the TP2 and i want to ask the guys who have 6.5 on their TP2 if they face the same issue.

Thanks.

Here's a picture of what i'm talking about:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Sebacestmoi:
Ahhh, at least I see i'm not the only one that have this annoying problem.

I have it with the official WM 6.5 Rom from HTC

If someone as a solution, please help us!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lorin.bute:
You're saying it does that?

Crap... i just upgraded.... if it does that i'm downgrading immediately.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lorin.bute:
Yep, went back to 6.1

The same issue appeared within hours after the rom flash.

I must say, wm 6.5 looks great on the tp2 together with the new tf3d version.

But all that beauty can't beat stability.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Sebacestmoi:
Anyone has a tweak for this annoying problem?

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PocketPcUser05:
This is not 6.5-specific. This is just that ROM that you upgraded to/from. I don't have this issue with ATT's device. Try flashing a ROM if it really is something you'd like to get rid of, but read carefully if you are not familiar with the process. There isn't much you can do as long as you read all the steps before starting.
[HD2 General] HSKalay:
Hi guys, I been browsing the forum for a while - decided to sign up now due to getting hold of my first smart phone.

I've set up my email account (pop3) it worked the first time yesterday, received and sent emails.

Now today, when I receive I get nothing, no messages, and when I send one i get this message:

"cannot connect with current connection settings. the change your connection setting, tap settings."

clicking on settings brings up the t-mobile settings tab etc, but I'm not sure what to change here as I'm pretty new to all this!

and I'm just wondering if I need to change anything - as it worked yesterday but not now even though i haven't changed anything.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 General] blackb1ade:
I used to get all kinds of hassle like this with my HTC Advantage. It would work perfectly for a while, then it would not allow access, so I'd have to re-input the SAME settings all over and it would seem to work again (fortunately, it seems to be pretty well behaved nowadays!)

So long as your pop3/send/recieve/SMTP settings are all good [make sure that login names etc are all as your email provider states, usually full email address and password and smtp/outgoing *DOES* require authentication]- sounds like you might want to check on your connection settings (I assume that the internet is not working either? Or MSN messenger?) B4 going into settings you will need to find out EXACTLY what your APN (access point name) address is for your specific carrier (there are typically several ones per carrier - usually one for contract and one for PAYG) and the user name and password.

Then check/update your connection settings. You can go and edit the existing setting - you will need to choose a name for it (there should be a default) and then you may have to 'select a modem' - typically I select 'Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)', as it works best for me [on another device however, I select GPRS only, as there is poor 3G reception here in the office and it causes the connection to find a 3G signal and try to connect to it, to no avail though and thus it drops the connection - but hopefully you wont experience this!]

Next update your: 'APN' and the 'User Name' and 'password' (those 3 things will be supplied by your carrier) and save it. And HOPEFULLY that should do it - it can get a little more complicated than that, but I'm hoping that you dont have to get into setting up work networks/proxy servers etc - I can do that and have some data for it, but I'm not very good at exaplaining it I'm afraid it's something I've learnt on a trial and error basis, as I'm not a techy/network specialist AT ALL ;)

HTH
[HD2 General] HSKalay:
double post*
[HD2 General] HSKalay:
thanks for your reply!

as far i know all my email info is fine, but I shall try again after work. only details I might have to get is t mobiles. might have to look on the net. but i'll try what you've suggested.

but the net is working fine! I'm using it now...will give it some trail and error.

thanks, and till later!
[HD2 General] hnparedes:
In which network are you? And which country?
[HD2 General] HSKalay:
Hello - I'm on t-mobile in the UK :)

I'm thinking of doing a total hard reset - now my googlemail isn't working :( ! and that was yesterday.
[HD2 General] blackb1ade:
Just for good orders sake:

T-Mobile APN Configuration

For both contract and pay-as-you-go T-Mobile customers in UK the following APN settings are used:

Name: TMobile GPRS

GPRS APN address: general.t-mobile.uk

Username : user

Password: wap

- other settings can be left blank.

Apologies if you already know how to do this, but I just checked on the HD2 and you do the following;

GOTO the Settings tab (last one).

Hit MENU (bottom right)

Hit CONNECTIONS icon

Hit CONNECTIONS

Select (if you're accurate enough.... ;) ) 'Manage Existing Connections' and follow the path - you may want to just re-input the above to make sure you know all is well then save it (finish)

Just a thought.
[HD2 General] HSKalay:
Thanks alot for that blackblade, i can use that as reference, will try again in abit - I've done a phone reset for now.

cheers fella. :) very helpful.
[HD2 General] HSKalay:
well guys, I've tried checking and changing those details - still no joy. Not sure what to do with this now to be honest!
[HD2 General] r_j_f:
Not sure if you've resolved this, but I had the same problem with t-mobile.

You need to deselect "use proxy server to connect to the internet" in the t-mobile internet settings, for some reason this gets selected on set up. Once you've done this you should be away!
[HD2 General] motlking:
Hey guys,

anyone having problems with their microsd card not showing in file explorer?

I'm using a SanDisk Microsd and it was working fine then disappeared.

It has been installed properly and WAS working.

I know its not the card as I have tried the card in a HTC Hero and it works fine. Also tried a 2gb microsd and it does not get recognised after disappearing from file explorer.

I have tried uninstalling programs to see if its a certain cab causing this but no luck. I have found that doing a hard reset restores the microsd in file explorer.

So far two hard resets have restored it but it seems to keep disappearing!!
[HD2 General] wsmct@163.com:
Did you try another sd card?

It might be just card problem, if not....:(:(
[HD2 General] motlking:
Yeah tried a 2gb card that came with the HD2 but no luck :(

I mean it works after I hard reset but once it disappears HD2 won't recognise when I swap to a 2GB card.

Is this a bug? I don't think its a hardware issue as it shows when I hard reset.
[HD2 General] htc-hd2:
Is your HD2 connected to the USB cable and PC when looking?

If so. Try again without the connection.
[HD2 General] blackb1ade:
I thought I had a similar issue at first with mine - turns out, if I remove and re-insert the SD card - then open explorer and have it as high level view as poss (My Device) - Storage Card folder isn't there.....but then I scrolled to the bottom of the folder tree - and for some reason, once it's removed and re-inserted, the first time you use the explorer, it places that folder at the bottom (so off the screen) but it was there for me [once you've used explorer once and dont remove/re-insert card, it places the storage card folder back up the folder tree in usual place] - sounds like you have a more serious issue though if you've checked that and it's not even there.
[HD2 General] motlking:
No not connnected to USB.

I just did another hard reset and it shows again. I installed a couple of cabs (Touch X Task Manager, tnyynt SD Tuneup) and everything is working fine. I then decided to do a soft reset and it disappeared again.

EDIT: I actually just uninstalled tnyynt SD Tuneup and did soft reset and microsd reappears in file explorer...hmm will have to investigate further.
[HD2 General] KB24@CL:
you have to hard-reset.

I have the same problem when installing the coreplayer...then my storage card disappears. It seems like a driver or something gets deleted or messed up.

hard-reset and you will be fine.

also don't forget to format your SD card once...I forgot this too...maybe that helps too.
[HD2 General] motlking:
I have hard reset but that is obviously not a permanent solution. It is not because of Coreplayer.

I have been using since uninstalling SD Tuneup and soft reset. Working fine for now so I assume it had something to do with using SD Tuneup with leo or wm6.5? Anyway will report back if any more dramas.
[HD2 General] mooooooa:
I can't find my SD card either :( seems that i have the same problem as you.. wtf to do??? have formated, an everything i know..
[HD2 General] motlking:
when did it stop working? does it appear after a hard reset?

Mine seemed to be associated with software I installed (namely tynnnt SD Tuneup). After I uninstalled it and did a soft reset it reappeared in file explorer...
[HD2 General] fards:
SD tuneup isn't designed for the qualcomm ..

the SD drivers are totally different on the Leo..
[HD2 General] motlking:
Cheers for confirming that. I used it on my original Touch Pro and also on the Xperia X1 so I assumed it would work on the HD2, I assumed wrong! haha
[HD2 General] mooooooa:
I installed tynnnt SD Tuneup in the beginning. Had a little bit probs with SD card in the beginning also, but yesterday when I moved some garmin maps over to the Sd card, it began stop working. performed a hard reset today and it's working again, but i would not install SD tuneup again this time :D
[HD2 General] faintlk:
For the people who got the HD2, how do u think about the headset quality, compare to the iphone's one?

The review from gsmarena said that the quality is quite bad, so I'm a bit worried :(
[HD2 General] kersh:
yes, the headset it is a complete bull****, but why dont use another good pair?
[HD2 General] faintlk:
I had a very good pair already, but I would like to use the voice and the music control function of the default headset, too bad though :(
[HD2 General] kersh:
You can buy the advanced cable, controls but with a 3.5" input at the end to connect your own headphones, it cost about 25€ on htc website
[HD2 General] -Vulture-:
You mean those? Sorry, but no player controls on them. Im suffering the same problem. I want my own headphones but WITH the player control unit...
[HD2 General] somebully:
I dont think there's a voice input.. just music control function
[HD2 General] -Vulture-:
Hm? The original headset is...well a headset where you can make calls with.
[HD2 General] shu8i:
now that this tread is opened, i might ask something else... ive a pair of Monster - Beats. http://beatsbydre.com/products/Products.aspx?pid=B3808

Now on these headphones you can switch the cable. There are iphone cable etc. but where can i find some for the hd2?
[HD2 General] Appelsap:
Dude, I had no idea there were music control buttons on the default set, I never took it out of the box as I assumed they'd be crap anyway, and I have a much better set. Hmmm, I'll have to figure out how to get the good earpieces on the crappy set with the nice controls on it :cool:
[HD2 General] Appelsap:
If the iPhone cable for this headset is one with a minijack with four connector points, it'll work in the HD2 as well.
[HD2 General] fards:
I actually thought the enclosed headphones had the best sound I've heard from a set included with a Htc device..

but that doesn't really say much does it :rolleyes:

It's a pity that the media controls are on the wire and that HTC decided to not give us the option to plug our own buds in.
[HD2 General] tregba:
The included headset is a joke. Don't even bother your time with it. Even with £250 earphones the HD2 audio quality is a still a joke. It has a very digitized sounding DSP (similar to most recent Nokias) and nowhere near as good as the analogue sounding iphone or a decent dedicated DAP. It sounds strikingly similar to the Blackberry Bold but with slightly rougher treble. There is distinct bass roll and the sound is more hollow than full.

That being said with Audio Booster things take a step in the right direction. WIth some adjustments it sounds better (not as good as the 3GS mind). Lower treble can be tamed and lower bass beefed up. It still has a sligtly hollow digital feel to it but better than before. I don't particularly like using s/w EQ's but in the case of the HD2 I have no choice. Again, all this is using the stock HTC Media Player and not say other music software as I really like (more like need) the facility of being able to jack out my earphones and not have the music switch to playing through the speaker (similar to iphone and Bold).

So far I've tested audio capabilities with Westone UM3X's and Klipsch X10's and will try out some others later but as things stand currently I'm a bit disappointed the sound quality isn't on at least par with the 3gs. I would easily go back to the iphone but the HD2 other than it's musical properties has very strong appeal and I like all-in-one devices so I may very well end up keeping this damned HD2 as it does hold a few tasty trump cards!!
[HD2 General] shu8i:
i dont understand that quite well... can you give me an exampe? i would like a cable with the micro/music buttons with 2x 3.5mm extenders...
[HD2 General] Nit3m4re:
Recon the iPhone 3GS headphones will work with the controls?
[HD2 General] LBTaylor1984:
tbh while i think there not pro grade. they playback well enough. I think only if your a real audio buff will you notice. one might argue MP3 quality has a lot to do with it.

[G1 Android Development] Zappza:
Maybe a stupid remark, but in the picture in OP, the bluetooth symbol doesn't appear to have any devices connected.
[G1 Android Development] o0ldsch00lz:
I think the app is not using the google api since the bluetooth functionality provided is so limited:

http://sites.google.com/a/android.com/opensource/projects/bluetooth-faq

So maybe this explains the icon's state.
[G1 Android Development] swivel:
No. Read the page more carefully. It clearly states that the MT3G does not currently support the HID profile.
[G1 Android Development] o0ldsch00lz:
I wonder if the majority of Android users are rooting their devices. Seems like a must have for the more exotic applications.
[G1 Android Development] ytj87:
Yes, I worded poorly. I more accurately meant, "Has the MT3G been hacked to support the HID profile?" The claim at in the ad implied they could do it, but that's hardly confirmation that it works.

Subsequent searches yielded the two links I added in the edit. Indeed some have gotten a HID profile to work.

There's no need to push the files mentioned in the link. At least for CM 4.2.5. My Apple BT keyboard works just using the hidd commands.
