[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
i actually wasnt a fan of the old start menu. the drop down didnt make sense. going straight into all programs did so microsoft threw you in there. and the honeycomb prototype design was super snazzy. http://stevewiilliams.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/win-mo-6-5.jpg i think htc did a good job at replacing that through the manila start menu in tf3d 2.0. but it doesnt really fit in with sense 2.5 so rather than updating it, they just dropped that all together. seems no one can make a good looking cohesive start menu.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Vendetta-NY:
Are you saying that Sense doesn't have a Programs tab?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
i was actaully saying it didnt have manila start menu but yeah it doesnt look like it has a programs tab either.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] madmartian:
Looks like the original question hasn't been answered yet - how do you get rid of the honeycomb? I tried the Showaco start menu program (from the folks that did REstart) but it did not work on my Sprint TP2 with 6.5.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] akashastrega:
AWESOME START

That's what I use, it creates a drop down listing which you can scroll through, if you tap and hold you can set to the top or down. I think if you pair this with ReStart you can get a pretty workable start menu.

I first found the cab on xda, but cannot remember which thread, so I apologize to the dev.

Hope this helps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] madmartian:
Awesome Start shows a list rather than icons. That still doesn't answer the question in this thread. How do we show the start menu with icons like normal, just not honeycombed?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] akashastrega:
Awesome Start removes the Honeycomb effect

ReStart provides more control over the order of things in the Start menu

►@Madmartian, I do not know for sure how to fix the honeycomb effect (perhaps the Cookies tweak, but I do not know for sure), but I think the OP was answered.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Joe Bleau:
Re: Default Windows Start Menu Alternative: Winstart

Many users in the NRG Rhodium thread recently recommended Winstart for WM 6.x. The paid version ($5) offers more RAM savings & tweaks vs the free version. And it works w/ or w/o Sense.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kykiskly:
Hey guys,

Sorry to ask, and forgive me for been dumb, not really a Linux user here.

I need help with some details. I have my Hero - rooted with 0.7 Fresh 8GB SD on it.

What is the advantages of partitioning your SD - let's assume :

Swap-size = from 32mb to ummm 1024MB

Ext2-size = from 512mb to ummm another 1024mb.

Is there any standard procedure/requirement for this.

Also, let's assume I did this and this the following :

SD: ext2 to ext3

Can anyone put this in English language for me :)

I did all of this and was hoping that my phone would reflect a different internal memory size, but it still shows what I had before. I also noticed under "computer management that my SD got reduced by the amount I specified earlier from HTC Recovery mode.

Many thanks in advance :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
There are 2 different methods for setting up Apps2SD the most common method does not show any reflection in your About Phone screen. The other UNIOn method does, but i have seen very few people use this and I have not clue how to do it. No big deal either way you do it.

If you load the newest recovery from AMON_RA you can specify the size of your partitions. It seems like you are probably using this.

If you ever fill up a 1 gig swap someone wrote a very badly handled program in terms of memory. Swap = Linux version of the Windows Page file. The more you have doesn't necesarily mean the phone will move faster, it just means you have more room to grow. you are still using RAM for programs currently in USE. Swap just holds the stuff out of RAM until it is needed.

ext2 to ext 3: Ext3 from what I understand is just adds journaling and does its own repairs/checks. Stops you from waiting around while ext2 fixes itself if something bad happens.

I am sure someone can correct me if I am wrong on any of this.

I was going to buy this Piel Frama case for my Rhodium, but I can't really see from the pictures whether I have access to the mini-USB or not. Anyone who can enlighten me? Can I use my headset while using this case?

Of course, I could upgrade to this wonderful case, but it is more expensive ordering from Spain, and it does look a lot more bulky than the classic model. EDIT: Ordering from Norway, it's around 400 NOK for the Classic case from the US vs close to 700 NOK for the iMagnum one from Spain.

Alternatively I have been looking at this PDair case which is a good deal cheaper, but I haven't found any reports on its durability and general usefulness yet. Did anyone here try it out? If so, is it any good?

While searching for the others I also found an aluminum exoskeleton of sorts and it does look cool I think. It doesn't add too much size and weight to the TP2, so it might be a contender as well. Again I ask for opinions :-)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] fabbr8:
Hy

when i bought my TP2 i got a case very similar to the second one you post (this wanderful case)

i never used it.

it makes the Ppc huge. extremely unconfortable.

at the moment i am using a case which was designed for iphone or something like that.

it has a clip for the belt and a hook that goes on the jeans. it's basically like one of that sock but a bit better.

it's much slimmer, easy to access, secure and when i use the phone i don't have the case attached.

my suggestion is not to buy that cases, but go into some shop and try some up

ciao

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] dougstoner:
That aluminum case looks like the tp2 would slide around in there. I've tried a few cases, but they all added too much bulk. Did find a cheap clear plastic one, and it's awesome. Looks great, fits better than any other ones, and adds hardly any bulk. CHeck this thread out.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] N1M1TZ:
This is what I have. It does add bulk to the phone but has saved my phone twice already.

http://www.amazon.com/Body-Glove-Elements-Rubberized-Tmobile/dp/B002JQRW68

Comes in 2 configurations, 1 for belt clip and other for pocket. You cannot have both as there is a notch at the back which is interchangeable depending on how you want to use the case.

* Another thing, I believe this case was designed more for the Touch Pro 2 for t-mobile as I don't have issues like the other reviewers had.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] minoch:
Tmob Version TP2 seems to be an Orphan amoung case makers

I am in the same boat trying to find a nice case that my phone does not have to be removed from to be used. In the past I went with Krusell cases and that was great for many years and different devices now the Krusell for the TP2 is known to be junk.

I would buy Piel Frama magnum from your post If I had the Reg Ver Tp2.

http://www.pielframa.com/htc-touch-pro-ii-imagnum-cases.htm

Unfortunately I have the USA T-mobile Version of the TP2 and this phone is turning out to be the bastard orphan amoung case makers.

I have narrowed it down to two cases and would like any opinions for my Tmob TP2

With so many versions of the same model phone the waters are becoming murky. I wish they would just give them different Model Numbers and Names.

Thanks and Best of Luck with the search for the best case for our phones.

Just got my Touch pro2, with a htc pouch and htc case.

Case is fine, but I dislike to have to open it to get the phone out. Also, I can't use the usb while in the case, another deal breaker.

The pouch is better, but would like more protection.

What I found perfect is the slide case I got with my Touch pro. Sure one can get better protection, but considering how fast was to use the case and how small the case is, the phone looks like new without any scratches.

Any recommendations for such a case?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] StoneyBK:
Last night i purchased ...

...the clear acrylic case from the AT&T store. It is a 2 piece case that snaps on AND has a touch sensitive screen protector. I do not like the plastic belt clips as I have bumped/snagged them on things and broken the clip. I prefer a holster type case (horizontal) as i carry another object directly on my side/hip.

So i recently installed Navicomputer, im going overseas and dont want to pay for knowing my way around and GPS was taking a while to connect. And then it didnt connect, just kept searching.

So i installed BeelineGPS to check and it detects my GPS.

But then gives me no lattitude or longitude or anything for that matter.

WTF?!

Walkthrough please on how to set up my GPS??

Hi guys,

first of all apologies for advertising this little software I wrote on these pages. If it isnt allowed, mods please remove this.

I have recently published a little app I wrote. Name is TellyZap and you can find it on the market in two flavours: a Lite version and a Pro version.

heres the Lite version:

http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-chipset-tellyzap_lite-xtxq.aspx

and the Pro:

http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-chipset-tellyzap_pro-xtxj.aspx

They both support 67 channels, european channels for the moment, however I thought that with satellite/digital becoming very popular very quick, some europeans could have a use for it too.

TellyZap allows you to view a full programme listing for the 7 days from the date of consultation. Has categories (soap, documentaries, movie etc..) and will give you a description of the program, time, channel etc.

the Lite version is limited to the day of consultation, and will not show the programme description, but only its title and time of airing.

The Pro version allows also to send a programme to one of your contacts in form of an SMS or Email. It also allows you to send your favourite programme to your calendar so you wont miss it ! :rolleyes:

I hope some of you will try it, and let me know your feedback. If you find any issues/bugs or have requests I will be glad to entertain them, just drop me an email at the address specified in the market, of pm me here.

And if you find it useful, I wont stand in the way of a little contribution for my work. :o

thanks for reading!

The list of channels (or at least the part that I could fit in so many characters) is in the description of the app in the market.
[G1 Apps and Games] Mysticales:
Well since your focusing on European guide, I have a suggestion for you, why not intergrate teletext to the channels (If Avail to that channel) That could make a nice feature addition.
[G1 Apps and Games] nmesisca:
mmmm...thats kind of surprising..

- last time i needed/looked at teletext was probably 7 or 8 years ago.. is it still used? in what circumstances/ what would you use it for?

- at the time teletext was obviously coming via the cable (antenna receiver/whatever connection).. is teletext also available somewhere on the web??

thanks for the feedback.

[G1 Apps and Games] seaweeduk:
I've been looking for a good TV guide application for android for quite a while. Unfortunately I don't like the interface currently at all, searching for specific programs on specific channels isn't what I want.

IMO a good TV guide app should have the following features

- Grid view similar to most TV guides (sony's freeview interface is a good example) listing the current programme as well as the upcoming schedule. (example - http://www.blogcdn.com/www.pvrwire.com/media/2007/01/tivo-comcast2.jpg)

- Customizable channel list so I can select which channels to see in the grid view

- Ability to skip many days forward in the gridview, set regular reminders for particular shows or specific reminders for single episodes.

That's what android needs if you ask me, when I want to know whats on a turn on the TV and look through the grid view, what I want to be able to do is the same thing on my phone :)

[Touch CDMA General] crackeyes:
you will not be able to update through that means. Those updates only contain generic updates and would destroy the carrier information. If you need an official ROM check HTC website. Or if you want a different ROM check around this forum.

Hi Guys,

This is all getting very interesting. Firstly let me state that i have an HD2 so this isnt one of those threads complaining about not getting one etc etc...

Mine has no issues whatsoever. The only problem i had was with the camera and this has been fixed completely by todays release of a camera update.

So... i have just read on the Vodafone forums that Vodafone will no longer be stocking the HD2!!!! This little snippet of info was posted by an official Vodafone rep.

I am now hearing similar stories from T-Mobile.

Is anyone here in know about whats going on? loads of rumours flying around at the moment....

Just to clarify, Vodafone stores are no longer stocking the HD2.

There is limited stock online, however once this has gone, there won’t be any further coming into stock.

All the best,

lol this happens every time a new handset comes out.

Operator A says 'we don't have any as it's been recalled/firmware update/whatever' so you don't go running off to operator B.

I'd be amazed if this is being withdrawn from any supplier.
[HD2 General] MasterTP:
I'll believe what HTC (and common sense) is saying though..
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
im on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens next tbh...

We should see an update from Vodafone posted soon in the thread i linked above.
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
Ok... its official... they've pulled it!!!!!

Hello everyone,

As promised, here's our update:

We won't be re-stocking the HTC HD2 for general consumer sales once our current devices sell out. There's been a great deal of interest since we made the HTC HD2 available to buy in November and our initial supply quickly sold out. With subsequent deliveries of stock we've prioritised the fulfilment of back orders for the device.[/size] Given the wide and expanding range of smartphones available to Vodafone customers, including the iPhone in early 2010, we're confident that we continue to offer the broadest range of devices to our customers, more details of which can be found at http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/mobile-phones/all-phones

Kind regards,

Tom

[HD2 General] mndl632:
seems a very stupid decision on vodafone's part, especially as the official comment they seem to be giving to press is that there is no room for the HD2 amongst their current and future smartphone lineup. Surely they would have known what handsets they have and will be getting soon, they should never have sold the HD2 if they were going to stop selling it after a few weeks.
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Glad I got mine when I did. But this is a terrible move by Vodafone. Why stop selling one of the best current smartphones on the market less than a month after you introduce it!
[HD2 General] sunking101:
...because it's pretty much a crock for the average user? Can't send SMS without problems, quality of calls audio chronically bad, almost impossible to type on due to the crappy keyboard and Win Mob is generally a nightmare for all but the most techy of people??
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Just spoken to a guy at Vodafone over the phone about this. He said this was the first he had heard about it. He also told me, that compared to all other phones, the people who phoned about problems on HTC phones was a LOT smaller than the list of people who phoned with problems on other ones.

And sorry sunking101, but have you used the HD2 for a prolonged period of time. The keyboard only takes some getting used to, because of the capacitive screen. Windows Mobile is NOT a nightmare to use. This is just a lot of crap spouted by review sites, tech blogs and Android and iPhone OS users.

Sure, it has some flaws. But most of these can be fixed. And Windows Mobile gives a LOT more functionality, which I think is worth a bit of getting used to.
[HD2 General] Isadora:
That's probably down to poor market research lol - they've obviously planned on the iphone selling like hot cakes when they get them and have totally overlooked the possibility of the HD2 flying off the shelves... my guess is that they have pre-ordered absolute tons of iphones that they'll have no chance of flogging if many of their customers get an HD2.

I have to say that I got one from them and that apart from the camera issue (obviously now fixed) I have none of the other major problems (touch wood it stays that way! :p) - sms are fine, call quality is fine, keyboard is fine.
