Hi:

I actually own a HTC HD (for 6 months) and I really like playing with it, flashing it (Dutty Holy Grail R0 ROM) etc. Though I´m not 100% happy mainly becuase of speed issues and lagginess.

Now I have the chance to get my hands on a Hero, chin version.

As you may know, another expensive smartphone aside the HD.

So Hero owners...which is your opinion? Should I take the chance or let it go?

I also own an 2g Iphone. So I have already use Iphone OS and WinMo...only missing Android and of what I´ve seen I like it a lot.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I've been a WM user with the HTC HERMES for the past few years.

I've had my HERO for the past two weeks now and I absolutely love it.

HTC HD looked really attractive to me before i got the hero .. but I decided to switch to the great ANDROID OS and I don't regret it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] QuintusDK:
I had the HD and a currently on the Hero and I love it:D

I prefer the Hero.

I dont even miss the large screen:p

Android is just so much fun working on and you will find that it actually runs pretty cool right out of the box... something the HD only does when you have tweaked it.

Hope you figure out what to do.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] slovoflud:
I absolutely love my Hero! It's night and day compared to ANY custom built WM ROM, and I've been flashing several times a day for a couple of years! :D

Android just works - Sence is great - being a flashaholic, I don't even feel the need to root the phone... mindblowing. I think my gf loves it even more 'cause now I have more time for her :D

Mind you it's not perfect and there are concerns about HTC updates. Developers are few. So keep that in mind as I've found out about this only after I got it..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
does that mean you spend even more times flashing you wm phones? coming from a regular sony ericsson my gf already hates the hero, with me spending so much time flashing, signing and compiling kernels 'n all that stuff... :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] slovoflud:
oh yeah, welcome to the club!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Alcibiade:
I may be kind f an exception and probably very few people are in my case, however I'd like to know if anybody has fuond a solution

I have more than 1,000 contacts and over 15,000 SMS. Yeah I know it's a lot but I dotn wnat to archive my SMS and I need my contacts

It was very well handled on my Hermes with Manilla 2D (Everything was quick, responsive, etc...)

With Sense, from the original one with Win 6.1 at delivery of the phone, up to Sense 2.1 and now 2.5 every upgrade has made the management of contacts and SMS slower and slower (To the extent I sometimes have to wait a minute obetween 2 operation, it's just laughable for all friends who have iphones, Nokias, etc...)

Simply put, whenever leaving a conversation within my SMS list (hitting the back button in Win 6.5.3) I have to wait a looong time. Similarly when leaving a contact and going back to the main list or clicking on a contact in the main list. When viewing a contact, clicking on the tab for conversations is also really really slow

I guess it has a lot to do with the integration at the contacts level of the different elements (Facebook, conversations, etc...) an dif I had to take a bet it would be the link to SMSs

It's making me all the more pissed off that old Manilla versions work perfectly and handle thsi very smoothly

So my question are:

1. has someone found a way to speed up the SMS application (or using another SMS application that is faster, typically the "Good old one" from pevious Manilla versions ?

2. Is there somewhere a cache or a buffer that I could increase allowing a smoother operation of the SMS application

3. Has someone managed to disable the tab (or the link) pointing on a contact to the conversations with this contact ?

Thanks a lot for your ideas & suggestions
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] KevinACrider:
Seriously? You NEED to keep 15,000 SMS? Just get a grip and delete them. You'd be amazed at the performance gains from just that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Alcibiade:
I do not doubt it will be faster but I'd like to keep them

My poiunt is wioth WM6.1 and Manilla 2D it was impressively FAST on an old Hermes !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dzwacki:
this is just a problem with win 6.5 ive been battling this for a while now. it seems its something to do with the threading and the way it indexes through the messages. if you disable threaded messages, there is no doubt you problem will go away. the problem seems to get worse with the more messages you have.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dineshh:
Jeyo mobile extender

Use Jeyo Mobile Extender for Windows Outlook and save all the sms on your pc. Keep less than 100o on your WM device and enjoy.:o

Jeyo helps you to see them date wise, sorted and sending from PC itself.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Alcibiade:
I dont wanna give up having them on my phone :(

Especially since my old HTC handles them properly :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ScubaSteve20001:
The Sense 2.5 Messaging app is slow even when you have very few (like 15)text messages from a single contact. When I reply to someboday it takes like 5 or more seconds depending on the number of messages just for the input box to take focus. The speed of the HTC text messaging app is pretty unbearable, to the point that I don't event like to text messaging that much anymore b/c of it's slowness.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Alcibiade:
It's actually with a ROM including the previous SMS client

But eyah anyway HTC has lots of work to do...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hilux38:
I really understand this problem becouse i also stryggel with it. My TyTn2 is alot faster and my TP2 and that is unacceptible i think.

Im totaly new in to this ROM flashing and is running original HTC 6.5 ROM. So my question is: will i overcome this problem with a flashed ROM or does these ROM just change the interface/looks on the phone or do they fix this root of the problem that is driving me totaly mad... My TyTn2 kicks ass over my TP2 in preformance. And i cant understand that out from the hardware specs... Even if i Run no Sens/Manilla(?!) an onely SPB mobile shell om mboth phones TyTn2 still kicks ass.

My TP 2 hav with Sense driving a memory use of 85-95% with no other programs running.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Alcibiade:
Yes agreed. It happened for me only on Win 6.5 and it seems to be re-indexing the whole conversation everytime (I was away on holidays, did a few tests and came back with the same conclusion)

By disabling the threaded SMS I solved the problme (And it handles very smoothly my 20,000 SMSs...)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Alcibiade:
I agree "Unacceptable" is the word that comes first to my mind (and very surprised not to see more threads about this)

It seems to be a WM 6.5 issue (I tried without Sense and I have the same issue). WM 6.1 was working perfectly for me

It might be an option somewhere in the registry. I will see if I can find it (Although I doubt it...)

That said it seems to get better with time, so I suppose it's rebuilding one way or the other the indexation bit by bit while you click on a conversation (It may very simply be that PIM backup doesn't save all the necessary information (which is normal since was created before threaded SMS clients were created) and WM 6.5 doesn't handle this as smoothly as WM6.1 did)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Alcibiade:
Lats complain (And for this I really don't know what's up, maybe it's linked to the SMS issue, since everything is linked on the contact page): opening a contact takes ages (When you have lots of them), and going back to the list of contacts from teh contact view takes... even longer

When I say ages I mean a minute or more
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hadi8125:
Totally was just going to post a thread similar to this. You simply beat me to it :) Yeah I noticed that for the Sense 2.1, when you go to the "messaging" tab it will say messaging but it will take like a minute to load the most recent message you received. I remember 6.1 it was instantaneous. I disabled the TF3D messaging to that it just has the windows threaded messaging but the loading time is still the same. Same goes for the contacts tab.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] imeraz:
Look at my last post on this thread. Might be the same issue I had...

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Alcibiade:
I managed to live with the SMS issue (It's getting better over time... Just dont ask me why...)

Can't live with the contact slowlyness...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rouxdoo:
I had to cut down my contact list that syncs to the phone to around 4500 (from the 6800 that I want to use). It's sluggish but acceptable. I keep an old Treo 650 in my car with the full contact list for when I need to do a lookup.

My wishlist is about ActiveSync - I wish it was faster. It takes about an hour to reload my (reduced) contact list, and if I don't keep it under 4500 it gets exponentially slower for every contact over that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Alcibiade:
I have only 1,100... Yes Activesync is slow like hell. BUT opening contacts or coming back to the main list from an opened contact is incredibly slow. More than annoying... It makes it unmanageable :(

I am not sure it's linked to the number of contacts though

What really sucks is old version of HTC's software dont have these shortcomings...

I'm having the same issue with the HTC Mail App
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaapschaap:
What kind of adres you use? I use a differend domain but it uses google apps and mij normal gmail adres seems to work perfect (just tested)... So maybe i can set up mij other account in the gmail app and mij gmail adres in the HTC app but will try that later because you can't change it you have to format you phone to set it to different mail.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scottland:
I'm using a hosted domain also, I've worked out how to do it now. Via your domain dashboard in google apps, go into mobile and click the box that says "Enable Google Sync".

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Spike15:
I currently have the Telus leather holster for my Touch Pro 2, however, I must say that this thing is a piece of crap.

I'm on my second one in ~3 months. The part that holds the clip to the holster just pulls off...

I wear the phone / holster constantly, so I need something that's going to hold up to wear-and-tear. It needs to be leather, it needs side in-and-out vertically (I've seen iPhone holsters where the iPhone slides in-and-out horizontally...which is terrible imo), and it needs to have a magnetically-attaching strap to hold the phone in place (the way I wear it, it's sometimes point down...don't want the phone just sliding out...).

To be totally honest, I LOVE the Blackberry holsters...the only thing I like about BBs, actually...

So if someone could suggest and preferably link to some high-quality TP2 holsters, that'd be great!

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] rahlquist:
It may sound silly but I have gotten my last two holsters (one for my tilt and one for my tilt2) at our local flea market. $5 for a leather holster with magnetic clasp with both a metal spring clip on the back and 2 belt loops. The nice thing about doing the flea market thing you can get a better fit in most cases.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] ScooterG:
You might check out Sena Cases or Krusell. They both make nice leather cases.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Spike15:
Any other suggestions?

>_>
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] dtsouers:
The large pda Krussel case is the way to go. It also has a belt loop.

No sense loosing your device to a belt clip.

Only problem with it is you can't use the usb dongle.
[HD2 General] globus100:
I'm sorry I looked all over here but can't find the an explanation of how to flash a wwe official rom on a french orange hd2. Some people claim you don't need hardspl as it's an official rom, but still something is needed and I can't figure out what? Without removing the french version it's impossible to connect to other data services.

Does anyone know how? Thanks.
[HD2 General] geek78:
you can't.... if your mobile is simlocked flashing another rom won't unlock it...
[HD2 General] globus100:
I already sim-unlocked it. I assumed it wouldn't work without it.

This is also how I could unsuccessfully attempt to use a different network data connection (edge).

Hello.. as the title states im having issues.

ok, so i recently rooted my g1when i saw Gnav was live (w00t) and all was well until i decided to partition my pqi class6 4gb partitioned as listed below.

ok heres the kicker.. every thing is fine until i start installing apps then it will just lock up then when i try to restart i get a black screen after the cm loading screen and thats it.. only way to get it back to life is to delete then repartition the card...... i reflashed, repartitioned and factory reset about 10 times and finally gave up and wiped card back to full fat32 and no swap or ext3 then reflashed cm 4.2.5 and have been running flawless for a week now so i have narrowed it down to my sdcard... any ideas on WTF could be going on here?? are pqi cards no good maybe?? it was real cheap i caught a deal on it about a year ago.. something like 2x4gb for 15 bucks shipped. I have never had any file loss when using it just for storage or anything. :confused:

heres how i had the partitions layed out

0 3459

3459 3971

3971 4003

i also tried ext4 aaaand out of desperation cm 4.2.4 with no luck :(

any insight greatly appreciated, I didnt know if i should post this here,in development or accessories but its a Q and im lookin for a A ;)

Thanx

Well I had the same issue with my phone, but I switched over to Amon-RA recovery and it does SdCard partition for you, You just have to enter the number's you want and it does the rest in recovery mode. This is how to flash it on this page. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=566669. :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BopChie:
errrm i dont think the recovery is the issue, i really like cm 1.4 for the fact that it has a console ;)

thanx.

Next :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
Amon_RA has a console too....

if you dont want to use that, then format it through parted with 1.4

Amon_RA's does the same thing but its much easier (he basically added automated scripts to the 1.4 recovery, since it is actually based off 1.4)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BopChie:
Thanx.....but that's not my issue, please thouroghly read my opening post.

Thanx again

Also I should probably add one note here....it don't lock up as soon as I install a app.... I can get 3 to 5 apps in be4 what's explained in my OP happens.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
Well get us a logcat of when that crash happens. It seems like bad partitioning but get us a logcat and we can narrow down the issue
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BopChie:
ok, i dont know how to do so and is this something i can fetch after the os is crashed via recovery console and dump to sd??

and as i said i am a root newb here.. so i have to ask... if i do a nandroid backup and save the backup to my pc be4 i go through and recreate my issue... will i beable to restore back to how i am now after i wipe and format back to full fat32 (if needed)

also.. take a look below, am i not doing something right here???

i did all the partitioning in parted as below

after removing all partitions i have a 4003MB chunk

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 3459

mkpartfs primary ext2 3459 3971

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 3971 4003 <---maybe i should try 4000 and not goto the end of the sd??

then after i'm out of parted

upgrade_fs to get ext3

tahnx again
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
that seems right..

if you have ADB setup, type in

adb logcat

just before installing apps. When it crashes, it should give error messages which we will be able to help you with. Post it here in code tags or post it on pastebin.com
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BopChie:
..........

currently i dont but i can get it setup again and give a try.. see my nandroid Q please
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
Yes to the nandroid but your EXT will not be backed up. make sure you grab the right nandroid folder

if you want ext backup, you will need a BART or SwitchROM backup with the EXT backup
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BopChie:
ok think i got it solved here... using logcat on a boot after partitioning the card i could see it was hitting a infinite loop and had todo with some prop's i had swapped out for Gnav.. but since that is official on 1.6+ now i was able to reflash cm and sofar so good, installed 10 apps with apps2sd live and notta prob

Thanx a ton
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
haha ok well its good to know you got it working

yeah so far so good.. 1last q...i have read mixed angles on enabling swap on sd.. i saw some1 say if its there cm4.2.5 will use it.. but i have saw ppl say it needs to be enabled.

I have never saw my mem get lower than 20MB should i even bother with swap?
