Sorry, but buying an iPhone for playing games on the TV is stupid. There are PCs and consoles for that which are much more fun.

For gaming on the go, the HD2 is at least as good, if not better. I really enjoy playing all my SNES games on the HD2, those alone are already more than the total amount of games you find in the iPhone AppStore :D

Soon there's a new version of FPSCE and we can play our PSX games on the HD2, all of them being better than anything you can find in the AppStore.

Just look at that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5JoNUFHbJY

There's absolutely NOTHING in the AppStore that can compete with that.

And there are also lots of good standalone games for the HD2, like NFS undercover, Asphalt 4, POP, ..............
[HD2 General] custardo01:
I know what you mean and I am far too old for playing these sort of games but it is nice to have a working option. Spent thousands of pounds on HTC devices and they all have the registry entry but no function - very frustrating. You could always do some serious browsing or emailing or anything. Just an option.
[HD2 General] maati:
TP2 has TV out if you want that. I don't get why someone would want to connect the phone to a TV for browsing or playing games... TV out for presentations: Yes, but for games?! Doesn't make sense, there's much better devices than phones for this.

Anyway, the HD2 is really the best phone for gaming.
[HD2 General] shirreer:
Hear...hear!

The truth is that all this hype abot the iPhone having more apps than windows mobile is as specious as it is purely PROPAGANDA! I know at least 4 people who get paid specifically to start a "blogging" campaign for or against whatever you want. This WinMo bashing campaign does look suspicious!

Just because the iPhone has a centeralized "marketplace" for alllll their fart apps doesn't mean that their measely 25,000 apps collection meets or exceeds what's available for CE. I personally have 2.8 Gigabytes of apps just for winmo 5+ (after cleaning and deleting old versions etc...).

In reality, it is just impossible to account for the windows mobile application base; software developers have been enriching windows mobile for more than 10 years, and they market their software independantly.

Personally, I bought, used, and gifted away my iPhone in a month! Yes, smooth animation, slick UI, a thin base of useful apps ( the rest are over-polished iFarts really), but no utility beyond that of an iPod whatsoever. The damn thing couldn't even handle basic "Cut-n-Paste" until it was later introduced as an "advanced update", let alone lack of multitasking, customizability, and its uselessness as a business phone -author & edit documents, spreadsheets, presentation, fax, OCR, exchange mail, etc...:eek: forget it! You want advanced functionality, enterprise mobility, a business solution? There really is only one way ----> The WinMo way.

For all its hype, the iPhone is a "chick-flick"; a fluffy darling you take to the manicure parlor! Its made for simplicity not multitasking, streamlined experience, not customizability; BASIC simple-minded FUNCTIONALITY!

And if you're here to start a flame-war, so be it; this is, and has been, an HTC/WinMo forum from day 1... You've brought your iPhone to the wrong shop honey!

Just went onto the UK site and found this Update for HTC HD2 – Digital Picture Enhancement.

Anyone know what it improves? Might be the software fix for the camera. :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] counterfitninja:
Looks like the camera hotfix.. It also suggests that this fix will be in ROM 1.60 so they are releasing 1.48 and sounds like 1.6 wont be far behind.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Igman:
Hope so :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maati:
It's the camera fix - already being discussed here.

Copied and pasted from http://www.intomobile.com/2009/12/09/google-maps-update-works-with-htc-hd2s-digital-compass.html

Google Maps has come a long way from its early days. With support for layers, satellite view and street view, Google Maps is as full-featured an app as we could hope for. The latest Google Maps 3.3.1 update takes things a bit further with support for the HTC HD2’s digital compass. Rather than just pin-pointing your location on a map, Google Maps will now show you which direction you and your HD2 are pointed. The feature turns your blue “My Location” dot into a blue arrow, indicating the direction your phone is facing.

Google Maps with compass support on the HTC HD2 sounds like perfection, right? Well, there’s a catch. You’ll need to disable GPS positioning in Google Maps in order to get directional data from the compass. Since Google Maps was already capable of extrapolating your direction of travel by analyzing data points, we presume Google doesn’t want to have the digital compass conflicting with your direction of travel. For example, if you’re in a car headed south, but your HD2 is pointed east, there’s no point in using the digital compass for directional data.

It is available to download here http://www.google.com/gmm/GoogleMaps.CAB

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Laurenz:
Great, this forum.

I debranded my X1i from Vodafone and managed to solve all troubles with German keyboard layout, WiFi router, progs configuration etc. Runs smoothly and has only from time to time minor hickups, really good.

My conf:

Version 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)

Manila 2.5.19202525.0

ROM 1.05931.10 GER, 09/09/08

Radio 1.14.25.55

Protocol 52.65.25.34U

My problem:

In some applications (i.e. Opera 9.7 build 35541 or WMWifiRouter-v1.52), the keyboard does not work. The screen switches to landscape when sliding out the keyboard. When entering an entry field (i.e. URL in Opera), the touch screen keyboard is displayed and functional. When typing any key on the physical keyboard, the program leaves the entry field and switches off the screen keyboard - no entry from the physical one can be made.

In other apps (i.e. notepad, adress book etc.) the physical keyboard works fine.

Any ideas would be very much appreciated.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Wild Child:
Incompatable with manila opera...and obviuosly the wifirouter application your referring too....You can install another version over top of the original version but you will loose some of the features(push email,favorites in opera)

OEM versions of Opera 9.7 have been known to take issue with the X1 hardware keyboard. All versions of 9.7 except for the official beta do this.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] aethelbert:
It's a hardware mismatch. Use stock Opera 9.7 or alternately use the original Opera 9.5 that came with the Xperia. It should be around here somewhere.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exxi:
Although I never dropped my X1, the casing has broken at many places. I went to the shop and I demanded that they send it in for repair. I have been told that I can't exchange my X1 unless I can prove internal problems. Now I want to brick the device so I can get it exchanged.

The best would be if i can make my X1 get stuck on the SE boot up screen.

I already tired many ways to brick it but they dont work.

Here's what I tried:

- Flashing a WWE American Rom

- Flashing a RADIO that only works with security unlocked devices

- Flashing the ROM only half way and then taking out the battery (problem is it boots up in the bootloader and tells me to continue the update)

How can I brig this damn thing?

Thanks
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hungry81:
Thats not the best way....

If you do it that way you will invalidate the warrenty anyway. first thing you should do is restore the manufacturer settings (spl,roms, radios ect) then call the helpline the number should be on the card that came with the xperia. if it is cracking due to manufacturing error, then they should send a courrier to pick it up, or tell you where the best rep to take it to is.

If its cracked due to somthing you have done, you can buy a new casing and install it yourself. There are tutorials on it and I dont think it looks that hard.

Good luck

regards

Chris
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fliptil:
Maybe HardSPLing it and halfway through the HardSPL (or original SPL for that...) remove the battery? That way the bootloader is broken..... Maybe first flash ROM halfway.....

Sounds a bit devious though.....
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matjan:
DON'T brick your x1, or it's your own fault and they will not repair your phone! It's a well known flaw in the design!

is this correct? did someone experience any speed improvements after installing the FPU enabler?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] naTpuoTXDA:
Yes i'm:-) Works like on Omnia 2. Work good
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] [zozi]:
Sorry but what is the FPU or VFP???
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tomksoft:
I am not sure, but it seems like Manila is loading tabs faster now. It only works with 5 instructions on our Leos, but for example dividing is 4 times faster according to built in benchmark.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rovex:
Floating point unit. A floating point unit in a PC CPU is the MMX, SSE instructions, its the multimedia extensions. It massively increases the speed when processing non simple maths, that tends to be needed in movie, game and image processing.

Phone CPUs are rather bad at floating point maths, even when enabled by this patch its still not great, but it can help when such things are unavoidable.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pdgpereira:
As I understand, you have to leave the patch running for it to work. So... I have to run the patch every time I reset the device?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hyweljh:
Yep thats right!

My benchmarks show:

Floatpoint without: 19.663 mwips

Floatpoint with: 55.071 mwips

Benchmarked using SKTools

but according to the FPU enabler program itself there was no real difference :confused:

What I want to know is how this may affect my battery life leaving the program running, and patch should mean it changes or replaces permanent files where this is more like a add-on that runs.

I know all the research is being done at madaco but can anyone over here get this to run automatically on boot?

Shall report back if I see any noticable diffrence!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] [zozi]:
Thanks for your answord...

But if i need run the pach every time i reset my device is not viable :(

when comes out crack of TV-out? The CPU of HD support's TV-out or i'm wrong?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hyweljh:
Just reporting back!

I also added the RAM banchmark and tested it with and without FPU enabler running, and Ram throughput was boosted significatly aswell!

FPU enabler makes a massive impact with 3d games for example the Electopia Demo runs so smooth no that I would say its above 30 FPS all the time! :eek:

I have notices a extra bit of battery drain by having it enabled, instead of the battery going down by about 5% or 6% over night it went down 9% and thats just on standby and recieve 1 txt message just before I woke up and looked at it!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NLS:
I understand that this has to run every startup. Easy to do that.

What is not clear to me, is if this needs to run a process all the time.

If this is the case it is stupid, except if it has to "fight" some other process that turns FPU off again. In that case make it a service.

So again: This program runs once every reboot and exits, or runs all the time?

EDIT: Modaco thread gave me the reply. Now only to find out WHY the process has to run...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Chainfire:
If this was meant to be on XDA, we would have put it here.

As long as XDA has a policy to ignore non-HTC devices, software we build for other phones that then suddenly also works on HTC **** will not be posted on XDA. If you mind needing a MoDaCo login, complain to your favorite XDA admin or moderator to get non-HTC devices allowed.

Until that time, I will ask "re-posts" to be removed.

This FPU enabler is buggy. Ended up crashing my HD2 lots on WWE 1.48 rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Chainfire:
This has nothing to do with my personal feelings towards XDA or the poster.

Simple fact is that it was not written for the Leo, in fact the Leo wasn't even out yet when it was written. As XDA does not do non-HTC, the thread, the information, and the downloads were posted on MoDaCo, who do not have such silly restrictions. If XDA had had an Omnia II, Acer F1, etc forum it would have been posted here in Dev&Hack.

When it is reposted here, this leads to comments from a boatload of people who have no idea what is going on (or worse: think they do but don't) and nobody bothers to read the information in the original thread. In turn, this also causes a fair amount of these people to PM me or NuShrike about it with random nonsense and/or questions that are answered simply be reading the original thread.

I have better things to do than deal with that. And thus, you want it, go to MoDaCo. We will not post things cross-board. The main thread is on MoDaCo now, and that is that! By removing the download here, it will force people to go to MoDaCo and actually read.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NLS:
I have no connection to XDA or HTC, I don't personalize device fights, I agree with your "general explanation", but the above was uncalled for don't you think?

I for one posted in Modaco as there is the main thread, but again... less hate in Christmas day would be nice.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Chainfire:
If you see hate that is your own misinterpretation.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NLS:

I guess "my own interpretation" is not anything much for your precious consideration.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Appelsap:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] adell_:

Chainfire has absolute right to ask the download link to be deleted.

He is right that posting the link can unnecessary disturb him. Why not give some respect to the developer?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NLS:
nobody said anything about his request to remove the link (and the reasons)

this is one thing

insulting our choices is another

I for one find Chainfire's device (whatever it is) a stupid device :p (there there I said it :D) - how does it feel? :p

(ok bad joke but you get the point)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Chainfire:
Feels good, as currently one of my main devices is the HD2, so you're only having at yourself.

You seem to be going through an awful lot of trouble to feel insulted. Instead you could also just accept that how you interpreted it is not the way it was meant.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NLS:
Don't worry about it too much.

Sadly, people don't understand the point being made here. I too am a HTC HD2er. However, if something was made for a non-HTC device, the dev has full right to reserve his rights of posting his appz. And speaking of "COMMUNITY", isn't it supposed to be open to all, rather than restricted to a particular device type? If you still don't see the point here, then you wouldn't realize what the issue is and so keep out of matters you don't understand.....PLEASE!!! :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] abmantis:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NuShrike:
The process needs to continue running as a safe-guard so you don't have to reboot to unpatch your system cleanly, as some of the stuff it does needs to stay in memory.

It is after-all alpha/beta software, and any software that doesn't remove itself gracefully is badly behaved.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] phillmydiamond:
