[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mputtr:
it's called using the internet browser and disabling the Media net or carrier's equivalent of cell internet.

Roms are dependant on what it's made for. look around on the rom dev forum. read the stickies there to learn how to flash new roms and try to get wm6.5 since it's a ton better.

btw, start using the search function. your answers are usually found in some thread waaaay back when.

I am looking at this phone on ebay and it is a lot cheaper cause it has a bad esn number. I read what it is but does it matter 2 me? I live in CHile and will use it unblocked with the chip I have right now. It will work fine, right?

Thanks

yes, bad esn is "bad" for only specified cdma network

Hello all,

I've configure Exchange for my HD and the setup has ask me to set a password for unlock.

I've restart the phone and now is asking me the code to unlock the phone, but the ones I provide doesn't unlock it.

How can I recover the password or reset it?

Many Thanks

Solved

I've solved with an hard reset.

Thanks anyway

I recently got my HTC HD2 and I tried to add all of my contacts from my old phone and sync them to facebook to get contact photos. While some of the people worked fine and I got the photos and the birthdays, for some I got no information at all.

This is annoying because it is mainly those that I would like to add to my favourites that do not recieve their profile picture or birthday or any information.

I've searched this forum for a similar problem but could only come up with problems with earlier builds. This seems to be a problem for some people running the palm pre as well.

Interestingly if I use the facebook app I also cannot get the profile pictures for these people either.

Is it a privacy settings thing, or am I doing something wrong?
[HD2 General] kasperknop:
This is the same on my HD2 and my HTC Hero as well.. maybe facebook need to fix something?
[HD2 General] charliebarter:
Anyone else having this problem?
[HD2 General] simplymee:
Yes I had this problem.

Think it is more of a problem with facebook mobile to be honest.
[HD2 General] kanesw:
I had this, but then found a solution (for me anyway).

Go into all people then select your contact. Then select Edit Contact. Then press where the profile picture should be. A 'Set Contact Photo' option should pop up. Next to the Facebook profile it should have a downloading icon. Once that was done i selected Facebook Profile and all was working.

Hope this helps
[HD2 General] brinlarden:
ahh you sniped this comment in just before i posted kanesw :P

yea that works for me too.
[HD2 General] charliebarter:
I've tried that, when i click on the download button the option just stays greyed out. (the facebook profile option) I can see it trying to find the data but it doesn't work.
[HD2 General] mickfarr:
I've the same problem with some contacts, you can link it to the fackbook contact but it just won't download any info about them. Works fine for most facebook contacts.
[HD2 General] charliebarter:
I've tried this but the facebook profile option is greyed out after i click the download button. I can see it trying to get the photo but it doesn't manage it.
[HD2 General] kanesw:
You dont have to click the download icon, just leave it for a minute or so and see if it downloads it
[HD2 General] banton56:
I've found the above usually helps and if it doesnt I deleted the contact and remade it and linked it and then it worked.
[HD2 General] charliebarter:
I've tried everything and I still can't get some of them to work. I also can't get their albums to work or their birthdays, and they don't have a profile picture when using the facebook app either. Must be a problem there somehow.
[HD2 General] banton56:
I've noticed when I go to link a contact to a facebook profile the friend is missing. I have 400+ friends and it only shows me as having 235 friends when it goes to find the contact. I'm not sure if this is something to do with users having privacy settings on facebook and not showing up or what. However I too have several contacts with no link to facebook as they are not listed as facebook contacts thru the HTC facebook link app.
[HD2 General] counterfitninja:
There is a privacy setting in facebook that allows users to stop other apps using their details. I guess its that as i have friends i know are on facebook but dont show up.
[HD2 General] Robrecht:
Definitely a privacy setting in some cases. I have a couple of friends whose profile pictures never show and I know from talking to them that they're all using the 'don't use my picture in external applications' option.
[HD2 General] les_paulde:
that sucks man, i have the same problem here. I guess the only way is to convince them to turn that privacy setting off, i absolutely LOVE the fact that our HD2 can grab the info from their facebook pages, it looks so cool
[HD2 General] Starfury:
Settings > Privacy Settings > Applications > Settings...

They need to tick Profile picture there and tick anything else you want access to via the HD2.
[HD2 General] wpy:
Also is there any way to actually save the contact pics into outlook. It seems that the pics only stays on he phone and the outlook is not updated after syncing.

cheers

WPY
[HD2 General] bakskj:
Yes, if you use the facebook pictures application in spb mobile shell instead of sense, then the facebook picture is saved to outlook as well! Dont know why this does not work in sense, it definately should!!
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
in HTC Albums I can only see a facebook album from one of my friends which works really good, but that's the only one.. also the intergated updates/events don't seem to work.. thumbnails and birthdays work fine..

I can't even see my own pictures.. while I'm almost sure I've tried every facebook privacy/sharing and aplication setting I could find..

any tips are much appriciated..
[HD2 General] plac1:
I think i know why this is the case. If you use file explorer you find that the folder "FBcontacts" (My Device\windows\FBcontacts) actually has all (or some) of the profile pic thumbnails.

I think this happens when people install facebook app ontop of the existing preinstall facebook, or on the storage card instead of device. Try uninstalling facebook app off ur storage device and reinstall facebook onto device. Let me know how that goes.

edit: i tried my own suggestion and it failed, im downloading the official HTC Final rom for my device to hopefully see the original file format for facebook
[HD2 General] Nemeth782:
Wow....

I was so looking forward to this device after my Kaiser/XperiaX1/Rhodium. My biggest gripe was always the speed, then the screen size, after all.

But this thing is next to useless. The capacitive touch screen is HORRIBLE, and the lack of a stylus so annoying that words cannot describe. I find that I constantly end up with apps closing when I try to press buttons near the top, etc.

Its impossible to type with, its so inaccurate. Maybe its unfair of me, coming from devices with keyboards but even so, I could type on the screen of my rhodium soo much better.

I guess that boils down to "capacitive screen" too, I guess I'll be going back to my Rhodium and waiting for a snapdragon or tegra powered system with a resistive screen.... Calibrating this thing makes no useful difference.

Sorry for the rant, more than a little frustrated with my £500 paperweight atm.
[HD2 General] gareth824:
All I can think is you must have really FAT fingers becuase the screen on this baby is amazing and typing on it is amazing. It's a million times better than the iPhone.
[HD2 General] Nemeth782:
I haven't ever used an iphone for more than a few mins.

I don't think the issue is finger size as I can type better on the screen of my rhodium which is smaller, but resistive. Its more the fact that I touch a button and something happens over the other side of the screen (maybe a slight exaggeration) and apps like Resco file explorer leave me trying to press the same button 20 times before I get it due to lack of Stylus.

Its not usable, its just frustrating.
[HD2 General] pietrucci:
Just give it a day or two. You'll never want to have an other device...
[HD2 General] kasperknop:
I really disagree with you on this. I think the screen and the responsiveness is superb to type on. Top of marked for sure. Beats iPhone and Hero imo.
[HD2 General] siamchen:
The touch screen on HD2 just like a sexy girl - soooo sensitive.
[HD2 General] Nemeth782:
beating the iPhone and Hero doesn't mean much to me as I haven't done much with either beyond a quick fiddle, but we are all held to believe that capacitive is better, so I was expecting an improvement on my old phones which have all been Resistive.

Maybe mine is broken I guess...

Still, I eventually managed to make a link to the task manager on the start menu. It feels like I fight with it for 30 mins and if I am lucky, I happen to get something done along the way.

If only it was like just about every other HTC phone I have used and had the little drop down task manager on the home screen where the X would usually be...
[HD2 General] dusty_nz:
Its all down to

Calibration.

Ensure you calibrate the screen and calibrate the screen how you tend to use it.

I calibrated the screen with my thumb while holding it in the same hand. Scary but for its size and sensitivity it works great.

Be careful about calibrating with your finger then expect to type great with your thumb. Works okay but you will need some patience. You will get better results with calibrating with your thumb in my situation.
[HD2 General] galaxys:
^Agree, re-calibrate your screen & see the differents. If you still want to sell, then put it in the Marketplace...
[HD2 General] htc-hd2:
Try this fix.. For me it was a 100% improvement.

[HD2 General] blackb1ade:
There's a tweak for that already [that puts it back there] - think it's a Dutty job - have a look in the other forum on apps :)

And BTW - I've owned an iPhone and many HTC touhscreens and I feel your pain - I too have issues with this one typing is pretty inaccurate (typically it seems to trigger the key blelow that which I'm typing on) and sometimes it seems to just not recognise a press at all....I end up jabbing it so hard with my finger sometimes in frustration! I'm becoming more used to it but it is a little dissapointing, given the iPhones screen (for accuracy and responsiveness) is certainly thus far better than this one
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Guys, remember, this screen is going to take time to get used to. Capacitive is a totally different beast to resistive.

And one day is not long enough to fully get used to a device. I am having a few small problems with typing (mostly because it's so sensitive and I'm not used to it!).

Once I get used to it, I don't think there will be any problems. I can already type faster on the HD2 on screen keyboard than I could on the X1 hardware keyboard!
[HD2 General] Archer:
The Dutty's fix for this didn't work for me, but this alternative did, and there's a few other tasty treats on the post too...

[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Original Poster's phone could be faulty. I had a demo of an HD2 the other day, and the keyboard was going completely mad: touching the backspace key, for example, resulted in a flurry of detected key-presses not just of the backspace key itself but of all keys around it in all directions. I mentioned this to the guy in the shop and he said that the reason why they had put that one aside for demo purposes was precisely that they couldn't get the screen properly aligned/calibrated on it, and that the other models they had didn't have the same problem. He might have been lying, of course....

Hello

I am looking for a piece of software that simply does the following:

When a windows mobile device is removed from the power source (car charger in this case), a notification is sent either via SMS or GPRS to another device or computer stating the last GPS reading coordinates from the handheld.

Is that available?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newbiefone:
hi guys,

i'm having issues as i pull out the phone from my pocket, before i can see who is calling, i accidently touch the answerkey button on the screen. This can be very irritating, so i'm wondering if someone has an app that can:-

1. Either allow users to disable the answerkeys (touch screen only). One example here is the windows ANSWERKEYS DISABLER:- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=425650

Or

2. Create a new application for the android phones as many of us would like this option.

I eagerly look forward to your replies.

newbiefone
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zhopudey:
If the screen is locked, you have to slide down to answer. Not something you're likely to do accidently.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newbiefone:
the screen is locked as to lock it, u have to press the CALL DECLINE KEY (on the most right) until it goes blank, but when someone rings and as i take out the phone from my pocket it either gets answered or the ringing goes on silent...

I simply want a hard key answer/decline phone and want to cancel any other touch buttons functions...surely if people say that android is so adaptable, there must be some software out there which can do such a function or maybe someone can create an app that allows you to disable certain touch functions?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
well, this statement is not in any way less true by your problem. only problem is, so far you seem to be the only one having this problem, at least it is not important enough for somebody to write an app. android IS that open, just write an app that suits your needs...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newbiefone:
Of course there are issues with accidental touch screen presses! Why has someone created an Answerkeys Disabler for the HTC Touch Diamond? The funny thing is that its been created actually in this forum and the responses went on for over 50 pages!!! have a look right here:- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=425650

So to say that there is no demand for such an app is a load of tosh...its just a matter of WHEN, not IF. All i want to know is if such an app exists for windows mobile
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stafflover:
I think you mean android?

Didn't see such a program yet, but sure it's there. But coming from a diamond and owning a hero, I can see why the diamond would need it, and the Hero doesnt.

Diamond's hardware buttons are way larger, and don't stand out so you're pressing them easier than on the hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newbiefone:
apologies stafflover. Yes that should have read "its just a matter of WHEN, not IF. All i want to know is if such an app exists for android as it does for windows mobile"

Still it would be great to have such option mate...who created that answerkey app for windows? was it someone on xda forum?

Hi, all

Is a HD2 owner could tell how fast it launch a heavy pdf file of about 5 Mo with several page and pictures ?
[HD2 General] siamchen:
just a second to load one 15M file. It's super quick. But, there is no good PDF reader available for capacitive screen. Tried build pdf reader and foxit reader. no good.
[HD2 General] fatalus:
Actually the inbuilt acrobat reader is very fast and also takes advantage of myltitouch for zoom in and out. I can say that I am very happy with it!
[HD2 General] milka:
I disagree. I'm using foxit and it does a great job of reflowing everything I've thrown at it so far. Don't know what you've been trying to read with it!

And Foxit opens documents that the Adobe installed version just hangs on.

Sure, the interface could be slightly nicer, but in terms of capabilities, Foxit is the first time I've managed to read a couple of thousand pages of PDFs on WM (first installed it on the Touch HD).
[HD2 General] kersh:
what is the problem of acrobat mobile?

It is superfast and have pinch & zoom

I use it with some pdf's of 15 20mb with lot of pictures and I dont have any problem
[HD2 General] milka:
not sure, but i've tried 2 ebook pdf's that were 3-4MB with the HD2's copy of acrobat LE and neither of them seem to ever finish loading. it's weird.

foxit has been very reliable for me and glides along very smoothly on the HD2. doesn't have pinch and zoom, but honestly, i think i'm too uncoordinated with 2 fingers. i struggle with chopsticks as well. :)
[HD2 General] kersh:
I didnt see that problem, ill try foxit anyway.
[HD2 General] milka:
The other good thing about foxit is it reflows documents that haven't been authored for reflowing. Very impressive capability.

Is it possible to edit Navipanel so it launches TomTom instead of Copilot?
[HD2 General] vorkosigan1:
NaviPanel and Igo8

Yes its possible,

this is my way of doing(maybe there is better one :)

1.Copy all files and folders except CONTENT folder(the bigges one) from IGO8 directory to Program Files\Copilot\ - you will replace Audio folder(if you didn't deleted all from here.

2.Rename iGO8.exe to copilot.exe and just in case make one copy of this file with name splashscreen.exe

3.Edit sys.txt to point to the content folder

[folders]

content="Storage Card/iGO8/content"

4. Enjoy :)

[HD2 General] DAMIEN123_666:
is it possible to point the data+branding folders as well so i can save some space on device
[HD2 General] superfougere:
if you have installed igo on your SD card, you just have to copy iGO8.exe, sys.txt, and GPSTMC.dll in ProgramFiles/Copilot/, then rename iGO8.exe to copilot.exe (and do the splashcreen thing, just in case ;) )

your sys.txt must contain

[folders]

app="Storage card/igo_folder_as_you_named_it"

hope it helped :)

Hi,

is there a way to use Navigon MN7 instead of CoPilot? My MN7 works manually in Landscape mode, no Problem, but i want to start it with the NaviPanel. How to do?

Thanks for any help...
[HD2 General] dbryan:
Just found this on another site, tried it and it works a treat.

To make TomTom replace copilot:

-You have to install tomtom to your SD card

-Locate the install dir of tomtom after you have installed it

-Locate the navigator.exe and copy it to another folder

-Rename the navigator.exe in the tomtom folder to copilot.exe

-Rename the navigator.exe you made copy off to splashscreen.exe

-Copy the splashscreen.exe back to same folder as the new copilot.exe is

-Rename the tomtom folder (or what ever the name is) to copilot.

-Copy the new copilot folder, and then locate the original copilot folder on device storage (Program Files/CoPilot) and paste the new folder over the original (DO NOT DELETE THE ORIGINAL FOLDER FIRST)

-Soft reset, and it should work just fine
[HD2 General] mister.knister:
Hi,

I´m also trying to get MN7 startet that way (But on Rhodium with Navipanel from Leo coocked in). I copied \Windows\StartMN7.exe to the \Program Files\Copilot folder and renamed it to copilot.exe. Than the same again and rename it to splashscreen.exe. But when I start MN7 within Navipanel I get an error: "Turn landscape orientation error !" and MN7 starts in portrait mode.

When closing MN7 : "Turn back orientation error".

When I start MN7 directly with \Windows\StartMN7.exe everything is fine...

EDIT: Now it´s working for me. Either it was the Soft reset i did, or the changes I made to the G-Config APP. Copilot.exe was configured in G-Sensor App.

Now the next question is if it´s possible to link the Buttons "Go Home", "Recent" and "Adress" to the corresponding actions in MN7... That would be cool and would make Navipanel more useful.

Use the Full-Specs of Navipanel with different Navisoft than CoPilot

Isn't there a possibility to make make the Navipanel understand, that the Navigation-Software is in a different Folder? I can't copy the Navisoft to the HD2, because there's no free space. I'm also interested in using the Navipanel with his full specs and with MN 7 or a different Navisoft...
