Speed dial is driving me nuts

I am using Opera 10 beta 2 on a HTC Touch Pro running WM 6.1.

I was trying to set various websites to the speed dial locations. The first one went ok, then on the second one it duplicated the first. Now I cannot edit or clear the site (or any site) from speed dial. When I hold down the stylus on the site, the menu comes up with 2 choices Edit & Clear. However, when I try to get to that menu, it disappears. VERY frustrating.

In a possibly related issue, when I am within a website, and try to select a tab or box within that site, I usually get no response.

One last related problem, I cannot get a web page to zoom. No matter where or how hard I tap on a page, it doesn't zoom.

These problems are leading me to conclude that the sensitivity with Opera is so low, that it doesn't recognize taps. I don't have this problem in other programs, so it isn't an HTC screen setting.

Has anyone else had these problems?

Is there a registry setting or some other way to fix the speed dial selections or sensitivity problem?

Hey DJChriZZ,

look for MySpike at this page.

Didn't tested it, but looks like this is the only software for WinMo eBay.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Elodie:
There's a new beta version on Opera's site.

http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/

Changelog :

* Support for auto-rotation

* Support for right-to-left rendering of web content

* Quicker launch, up to 70% faster on some phone models

* Nicer shortcut icon for WM 6.5 (requires device reboot after install)

* A few stability fixes

* Several other minor bug fixes
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dawmuz:
This one actually works on my blackstone, flawlessly so far. Previous beta didn't do a few things properly. Amazing piece of software.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] paslelxi:
hey guys, i've got a big issue with my diamond, it won't charge and i realized that it's a hardware problem and i need htc repair centre to fix it.

unfortunately, i modified the rom and spl so i can't use the warranty for it until i remove and restore the original spl and rom.

the problem is that, i managed to charge the battery completely using an external universal battery charger and then when i put it on my diamond it says 1% charged (while the battery is completely charged).

obviously, when i try to install start the RUU for the original rom, it says " battery level under 50% please charge the battery to begin the installation process.."

i'm really stuck in this situation right now, and i don't know how to proceed ...

i also tried to install the rom via spl interface, using the vol down + power button and reset ...but i can't do it anyway.

i need your help..please :)

thx

If you are a bit lucky with your spl, you can use ADB to put in recovery again.
[HD2 General] tsttse:
the hd2 is so close to being a great iphone killer if it has it's keyboard, camera and battery problems fixed...
[HD2 General] i_maq:
To be honest, if it seems like a lot of people are complaining or that there are a lot threads about problems, it's because that's what forums get used for! As long as the phone works nicely nobody needs to start a thread about it. If there's a problem then there will be a new thread about it. It's the nature of users!

People who like their phones will just quietly be using away, people who have problems will make noise. If 1000 people have a HD2 and 100 of them are having problems, that's 100 threads about problems and 900 people who are quietly happy. Imagine 900 threads saying how they love/like their phones!

But still, it's probably nice for HTC to see some threads on the internet once in a while saying how good their phone is.
[HD2 General] jgtthd:
oh i agree people only write if there is a problem but i wanted to defend what i think is an awesome phone and much better than the iphoen for me!
[HD2 General] i_maq:
Yup I know, like I said, probably nice for HTC to see threads like this too once in a while :)
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
congrats on starting this thread! this is fun to read. Of course, people who are happy with their device are not inclined to start threads of how happy they are and, of course, due to that we only see the negative ones, but as you state so well yourself: once in a while it is a joy to read a positive one.
[HD2 General] richierich:
Here here!! Yes we all have come across certain problems with the HD2, but the truth is this hardware and software are by far the best on the market right now. I think a thread praising what HTC has achievedis a good idea. All too often in life we are quick to publicly complain, but not so interested in saying thank you. Well HTC, from me at least, thank you! This is by far the best device I have ever owned. (now can you hurry up and release an update to sort out the little niggles please!)

RR
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
So what you're saying is that no one should be allowed to post on this forum unless they agree with you?
[HD2 General] i_maq:
How did you manage to interpret the original post as that? It's clear he's positing that there are a number of posts that are about negative aspects of the phone and that this is in fact a post to say that the user is satisfied with his phone. God knows how you translate that as the op saying nobody can post unless they agree with him :rolleyes: Unless English is your second language. That's like coming into a post saying "people say chocolate makes you fat and gives you diabetes, well I think chocolate is tasty" and then you saying "are you saying we can't post about chocolate unless we agree with you?"!
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
that's IMO not what he means. You have negative comments, which are logical and welcomed, with such a new device, but also pure negativism. This last way of commenting is becoming a bit too prominent lately. That's why he started this thread.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
I read it. (shrug)

"I have had enough" is what he says - he is not simply offering a contrary opinion, he "has had enough" of people posting negative comments - that is, he believes that people should stop posting them.
[HD2 General] Gustopher:
I very much agree with the OP. There is no reason whatsoever why people should not hold opinions about the HD2 or any device and of course, all devices will have their share of problems.

However, there is a fundamental difference in approach - and usefulness - between a thread that says 'HD2 is the biggest pile of crap ever' and one that says 'The camera has some issues, what can we do to fix them'.

There have been far too many of the former and they serve little purpose. Little wonder that one or two have been questioning whether the originators of such posts are pursuing a different agenda.
[HD2 General] jgtthd:
no of course not! people must speak their minds!! i was just suprised to see hat no one was saying anything good about the HD2 so i wanted to! if people don't like they shoudl say so, i just don't get people who say it's terrible!
[HD2 General] maati:
Very nice post @Gustopher.

I completely agree!
[HD2 General] jgtthd:
thanks for the support!
[HD2 General] jgtthd:
:cool:ok guys i think people have mis understood WHY i posted what i did.

i didn't start the thread because i feel that the world must agree with me.

i agree 10000% that people MUST state any issues they have with any phone this is how we get improvements! if no one says whats wrong then no one can fix the problem.

BUT - what i wanted to get across was there were so many people saying things like "this phone is ****, i can't use it, it's a waste of money etc etc" which is NOT helpful.

state your case and be constructive. like i said in the original post - no phone is perfect! but i do believe that the hd2 is the best that's out there that's all, but thats MY opinion and no one has to agree. i just wanted to state the case vs the otherphones so people who were saying they wanted to thow their hd2 in the river would realise that whatever phone they get will have problems. SO look at what you have, look at how easy it is to optimize vs other phones and chill....

again i am not god and i am not telling people what to think! just wanted people to stop being stupid and be construtive with commenst that way we can all fix the probelms togeather. that is the idea of teh xda/modaco community no?

by the way there is an update official rom available for the HD2: http://htcpedia.com/news/official-htc-hd2-rom-update.html i have it runnign on mine at the moment and it's great.

keep the comments coming!!
[HD2 General] Archer:
I think you're picking on him a bit there. He doesn't say people shouldn't do it. We ALL know the phrase "I've had enough", and it just means we're sick of something. With that in mind, yes, he may like people to stop posting negative comments, but he doesn't actually say that they shouldn't do it.

It didn't sound like an attack, so there was no need to be defensive. Just let it slide, like everyone else did.
[HD2 General] robertlewisca:
I'm glad there's a thread about this. It seems that there are plenty of threads that say things like 'this phone is crap', and 'i'm going to throw this thing off a building' with not much constructive to say (this comment is not aimed at anyone specific, so please don't flame).

I have have now owned four HTC devices - the Kaiser, Raphael, a Pharos PDA with built in GPS that was based on an HTC device (can't remember which one), and now the HD2 - and I can say hands down, the I have had to do less tweaking with the HD2 to get it to where I want it than with any other HTC device I've used.

I didn't have to wait for any program to be developed to hide and rearrange the tabs on the home screen (like every other device I've owned). It plays video well right out of the box - no special tweaking necessary. It plays music with good quality, organizes tracks, displays album art, etc. all right out of the box - no special tweaking required. It displays weather for my location without having to edit the weather database, it actually gets a GPS fix in under 10 minutes (actually in just a few seconds, but you Kaiser and Raphael owners know what I mean), no GPS lag that I can see. All of these were issues I've had with other HTC devices that work perfect out of the box with this phone.

And honestly, I'm not sure why there's all this venom for the WinMo interface. To be honest, even when I'm in the depths of WinMo screens, away from any of the Sense interface, I still find it easy to use and finger-friendly enough - even with the capacative touch screen. I haven't wished for a stylus once! Heck, I can even use Total Commander without issues with no stylus - and I'm a big guy, with big fingers.

This is also the first device in years that I've had without a hardware keyboard - and although there is certainly a period of adjustment, I'm doing fine with the onscreen keyboard now, and am very happy to have a much thinner device.

And seriously, it's may be a small thing to some, but thank God there's finally a 3.5mm jack on an HTC device! I was quite sick and tired of having to carry around adapters, and having my device look like there was a tumor growing out of it (those ugly mini-usb to 3.5 mm w/ power adapters) every time I wanted to plug headphones and a power cable in to it at the same time!

So, hey, thanks to the op for pointing out that there are actually some very good things about this device. And, I'm also thankful that there is a forum like this where we can work together as a community to make our devices better.
[HD2 General] Archer:
One thing that I've not seen mentioned anywhere, and it was HEAVILY sought after by HD users, is the Windows button!

The HD forums always had people talking about mapping a soft key to the start menu, and now we've got a dedicated hardware button!

I must admit, I still find myself going for the start menu with my finger. It'll take a while to get used to this tasty new button, but I'm REALLY glad it's there!

Thanks HTC :)
[HD2 General] maati:
Right, the dedicated Windows button is GREAT.
[General Questions and Answers] p0peye:
Hi all,

I had a Kaiser before, and on WM 6.1 I could choose if I want an event to be repeated every day, every month, once a year on that date, or even custom (very customizeable, I must add) - and that was quite ok. :)

Now, on my new HD, (with MaryOne X0.04☻Build 23502 COM5), I have options:

- doesn't repeat

- every Monday

- day xx on every month

- every xx.xx (once a year, on the same day)

So - no every day and no custom repeat :eek::confused::mad:

Anyway - I am really surprised to see that no treads are opened on this issue, so I wanted to ask if this is a regular (one more) step - back from M$ or is it just my ROM acting strange? ;)

Is there any tweak I can do so I can set the repeat as I would like, and not as M$ would thik I might want to?

Thanks in advance,

Cheers,

Nenad

Hello and excuse me in advance for my English Approximate and for not having presented (I promise I will do soon) ... .

But I am French (poor me!)

In rummaging through here and there, I realized that (unless I am mistaken) the only difference between sd and sdhc, sd that would be made to be read in FAT16, SDHC and fat32 but the hardware is exactly the same (between one and a 4GB SD SDHC 4GB for example).

I wonder ....

Is it possible to "cheat" in:

- Partitioning my 8GB SDHC namely:

-partition FAT16 to 2GB or 4GB

a FAT-32 in 6GB or 4GB

To lure my Himalayas into believing that the card is inserted SD4Go

I tried but my utility under GParted Mandriva was unable to format as I wish (msdos table formatting) ...

Or is there someone here (or elsewhere) that could explain how to create a driver (or other) who can make the link between sdhc (table 32 and a Fat Himalaya2020 under WM6 (Aku5.0.1. CTRLPDA (test it on your Bouzina's a beautiful Roma!))

And using a linux rom on Qtek2020, is it compatible? would not it easier to make a first beta driver SDHC?

[HD2 General] Archer:
Is it just me, or does putting on random (or shuffle) on the music player seem to do the same thing every time?

I tend to have a lot of music on my SD card and set the music player to select all tracks and then shuffle them. I've been doing this for a few days now, and it seems to be the same order each day.

I guess I could just shuffle it a few more times to see if I get something different, but I wondered if anyone else has noticed this.
[HD2 General] nadderf:
Yes same here, even if i have it on shuffle and repeat all, it wont shuffle my music and stops after all song i played.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Mine does shuffle, but the shuffled order is the same every time I shuffle. It's as if the random seed is the same after a long period of time or a reset.

The device in question is the i-mate Pocket PC. The problem, which quite bothers me is how it displays the received text messages. The "enter" key in texts is omitted and the texts are shown together instead. For eg.

will be displayed on my phone like:

"Heywhen'sthe meeting?"

The line break gets omitted. Is there any solution ? Its pretty bugging actually.

That looks like a *very* strange error, I've never seen it on my Alpine though (O2UK-branded HERM300).

I've scanned through, but can't find an answer to this.

Is there an app that will let me see what has been using the battery on my HD2?

I mean, if I leave it overnight, a program that I can open in the morning, and see what has caused the battery to lose %? rather than something that tells me what the current usage is at a particular timne.
[HD2 General] ultrablue187:
I'm interested in this too... I'm getting about 13% battery loss overnight, with NOTHING updating, 'my location' off, no programs running in task manager etc. As soon as I actually start using the phone, this drops a lot faster. I struggle to get 24 hours out of it, with light usage
[HD2 General] ultrablue187:
...I forgot to say, that is with WMLongLife and Touch X Power Management on, too.
[HD2 General] Xeon:
It's a problem with the battery meter.

For me it's like with average daily use :

100% -> 50% in 12 hours

50% ->5% in more than 24 hours.
[HD2 General] ultrablue187:
No doubt, there are issues with the battery meter, but my device struggles to last 24 hours with light use, so that suggests the battery itself has a problem. My average usage in 24 hours would be:

SMS sent/received: 30ish

Call time: about 30 minutes

Email: manual update, about 3 or 4 times

Internet browsing: none

Auto-update of any features: none

MP3 listening: 30 - 60 mins

I have WM LongLife on (so no idle connections), I close all programs in the task manager (and then the task manager itself), the screen is set to 30% brightness, and vibration is off.

This is in stark contrast to reports I have seen on here, and other websites, of users with much heavier usage than me getting 2 days out of their phone. My battery has been through 9 full charge cycles.
[HD2 General] elburna:
