[General Questions and Answers] stephj:
It is probably worth mentioning how all this stuff is manufactured in the first place. If you look at the board, the pins are far closer than you could solder with a manual iron even with a fine tip. In the factory the components are placed on the PCB by a computer controlled assembly machine, also with a tiny dab of glue underneath to hold it in place. The contacts on the board are preprimed/fluxed with solder. The board passes through an oven to solder it all in one go or it passes through a hot vapour chamber where the vapour condenses on to the contacts, heating them up to the point that the solder melts. This process, in both cases, is over in seconds. Every joint is soldered at once. At the end of the line other robots check that the circuits work, and reject the defects. A human operator will examine the duds, but if they can't be fixed in under 10 minutes, they are probably ditched as scrap. It is not economical to spend time fixing them, considering the profit per unit.

Basically they are designed to be built, not maintained or dismantled. They are just consumer items, in essence.

Hi folks,

When I set the message program to conversation mode, taping a conversation doesn't open it as on my old HTC Touch HD... :o

I can't even make replies or so... Enoying when you've got to deal with a lot of messages :p

Could anyone tell me what's wrong or what setting I'm missing here? :confused:

is there a browser for android now that supports flash? I was reading flash 10 was coming in october. Can anyone confirm anything?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonsplace:
The browser in the Hero roms supports Flash player 9 but not very well. Flash Player 10.1 is supposed to be coming to Android in Q1 of 2010.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cardiak:
Thanks for the info :)
[HD2 General] vidojajce:
is it possibly to make video call on hd2 ,because I dont see anywhere that option
[HD2 General] hicks:
There is no front facing camera, so there is no built in facility to make video calls.
[HD2 General] vidojajce:
yes I can see it dones not have front camera but I had many years ago nokia 6630 and it did not have front camera but it could make video call.
[G1 General] MasterTP:
Just saw this:

http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2009/12/10/opera-mobile-10-on-android-video/

Hopefully it will be out soon!
[G1 General] jubeh:
been waiting for this for a long time, mainly because of the plugin-free flash support (and HTML 5 isn't coming fast enough). If what I gathered from the video is right, it looks like they're deploying to OEMs and carriers first to see if they want to use those on their devices. That means T-Mobile US is not interested (they put out roms as vanilla as they get, not that that's a bad thing). I wonder about widespread availability.

Also, with HTC's track record on WinMo, I'm pretty sure Opera Mobile will replace their browser later on for a newer version of hero (HTC Bravo with stock Opera Mobile? YES PLEASE!!!)
[G1 General] sxfx:
YEAHH!!! Finally Iv been waiting for this since they announced they will support Android.
[G1 General] rp1783:
I think they'd go with fennec (when it's released), rather than Opera for the stock browser. Just seems like mozilla has built a reputation that developers can't deny. Either one would be awesome though.
[G1 General] jubeh:
Not so much mozilla but webkit. I think there'd be a problem with the licensing though. HTC DOES seem pretty intent on protecting their IP and with Opera Mobile they can keep whatever changes they make to the app to themselves.

Mozilla browsers (as opposed to what most might thing) are really only a tiny fragment of the market.

Hey everyone,

Stop on over to AndroidSPIN and check it out.

Host your ROMs, Themes and everything else

No more searching for free hosting space to place your ROMs with limited download speeds and 60 second waiting periods for downloaders.

We have formed a small group to put together the next version of AndroidSPIN and wanted to get some feedback and input from the development community.

A FREE central repository for the Android Community with FREE, Unlimited bandwidth File Hosting.

We are always working on the new site and some of the functionality we are developing is:

Each developer will have their own section in our system where you will be able to post all the info about your ROMs. The information will be similar to the current Android ROM database only searchable in ways you can only dream about….Well, many ways anyway.

e.g. You will be able to go into the database and say you want a ROM for the G1 that has Bluetooth support, Tethering and the Rosie UI and the database will provide you with a list of the compatible ROMs.

* You will also have ROM upload space (no more searching for free accounts) and your ROM files will be tied to the database so people can download them directly and not have to switch between the ROM database and XDA or whatever else.

* You will have full access to anything related to your ROMs so you can keep the info up to date.

* A Dedicated forum that you will Moderate yourself.

* We will provide any RSS / XML streams for other people to use for almost anything. So if you want to write a single ROM update program for the Android Phones, you can write the app and take the latest info directly from the ROM database. This will mean that the data will always be the latest info from a common location as long as we can get your support.

* You’d be able to see how many times you’re ROM has been downloaded and how the community rates it.It’s up to the you and the community to let us know what you want from the system.

We want to build this correct from the beginning. We want to build something that the community would really use.

This is just the start of things to come but we need need your input!!!

What do you want to see?

What will help you get your ROMs, Themes, Applications and more out to the community quickly and easily?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kobi_eidelman:
hi guys. i have a problem with sync with exchange server- on some roms i can sync, on some i can't. it's surely matter of certificates. is there a way to export certificates from one rom, and import them to another?

thanks in advance

www.seven.com This is what I use for work. its pretty good and free.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] j101399j:
Make sure proxy is disabled; if it is enabled, exchange does not work for me either, and on some Roms it is automatically on. Start --> Settings --> Connections tab --> connections --> Advances tab --> Select networks --> Edit (under the top drop down box) -->Proxy Settings tab --> uncheck "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet

It may not work, but hey, it's worth a try.
[HD2 General] pgamble:
Hi guys

I just found the camera fix on the HTC UK website. There was still no download for the UK ROM update. The EMEA site had the ROM updates for all regions except the UK.

I called HTC UK. They told me that the UK one is due soon. He explicitely told me that any ROMs out before they come on the HTC website were not official. That doesn't mean they were not developed by HTC but it does mean they were not the ones HTC mean't the public to get.

This seems reinforced by his statement that when you apply the officially released ROM it will include all the fixes to date, including the camera fix ... you won't need to apply the camera fix if you have applied the proper ROM update.

I know people that have downloaded the ROMs from other sources will like to maintain they are the official ROMs but I'm afraid that doesn't appear to be the case.

I will wait until the proper UK one is out and check the version number at that point.

Paul.
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
Mate... this is common sense.

if its not on the HTC website then its not official!!!!!!

UK users shouldnt worry... it will come out soon enough.
[HD2 General] ToddeSwe:
Speaking of hotfix i got my camera hotfix and was thrilled and glad to see it.

I installed it in a hurry and took a few shots with the same WHITE over exposed results as before. What have they fixed? Nothing! :(
[HD2 General] meegulthwarp:
the hotfix was for the pinking issue. Most people are reporting it to be working.

I installed the unofficial 1.48 ROM and paid the price. Before I had no issues with my hd2 now with 1.48 I get occasional crashes and it gave me the over exposed photos. Hopefully these issues will be sorted with the official UK ROM.
[HD2 General] Pappagallo:
I received my HD2 (WWE version) yesterday (via PDASHOP in the Netherlands) and it's already using the 1.48 ROM out of the box !!

So the 1.48 ROM surely is Official :D

OS Version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)

Manila Version: 2.5.19211619.0

ROM Version: 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE

ROM Date: 11/18/09

Radio Version: 2.05.51.05_2

Protocol Version: 15.28.50.07U

Camera Version: 6.26 (Build 1921.1625)

Well im running the European English 1.48 ROM and the Hotfix from HTC UK worked fine.
[HD2 General] Coatezy:
I keep getting the "Not a valid Win32 application" error message once I have downloaded/try to run the camera fix.. :S What size if your guys d/l for the camera fix LEO_07477.exe file? Mines 2.18mb.
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
You need to run the exe on the phone not the PC.
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
Yes... it is official.... for every other region EXCEPT the UK. Got it? good!
[HD2 General] Coatezy:
God I feel stupid now! :P Should have read the instructions on the htc site a bit more thoroughly! :P Just presumed it would install in a similar way to the .net framwork install.. :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] iphoneresister:
I just went to the "Europe Home" for HTC and though the site offers me a file for download, the download links are all 404s.

I bought a "UK Version" HD2 here in Belgium. Am I getting a "Page Could Not Be Found" error at download because I really have a UK-specific Phone/ROM and "UK Version" is an official HTC designation?
[HD2 General] Pappagallo:
Chill out, man........I'm just saying that the ROM is official, otherwise a brandnew HD2 would not have been equiped with it.

Just because the UK version is not on the Website for download yet, doesn't mean a thing. Just relax and your download will be available soon :D
[HD2 General] fards:
yes all it means is that they haven't got around to updating the UK site yet..

obviously it would be lovely if they suddenly decided to ship the mentioned 1.6 rom to UK owners, but I can't see them doing that before it's been tested for a couple of weeks.

I'd also take anything said by a customer service rep with a pinch of salt until it's put in writing and then from someone senior enough to actually know what they're talking about.. :D

FWIW when you enter your serial number on the HTC europe site you get a download link (which is broken because they messed the links up, still wondering why the UK isn't there?)

but the link points to RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe

Try comparing that to the leaked rom ;P
[HD2 General] iphoneresister:
Go to "Europe Home" for country -- I have UK version and am downloading the new ROM right now...

[HD2 General] Guru Meditation:
When I downloaded the camera hotfix, it said it was applicable for all ROM versions 1.60.xxx.xxx and earlier. This new ROM seems to have an earlier version number, so does that mean there's a new version to be released soon (or just that the hotfix isn't built into the ROM updates)?
[HD2 General] iphoneresister:
Great question! I wonder if its even worth installing this one. Will I be doing it all over again in 2 weeks to install a 1.60 ROM?
[HD2 General] ToddeSwe:
My problem is that there is no way to take a nice face shot with the flash inside a room at the night. Everything bright gets just white and overexposed.

Any nice tip would be appreciated.

I think the flash goes of to late and are at it's fullest when the picture is taken, would it be better is the flashlight is about to fade out when the device is set to night or lightbulb...

This drives me nuts!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:
Any idea? :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] KB24@CL:
for some programms...they don't work in combination with sense.

they appear changed in winmo but once you add a quicklink there is the old annoying icon.

anyway overall Bing SUCKS and always slows down my HD2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] arturobandini:
I could change the Icon with HComber.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:
Thanks, but hcomber didn't work, too. :(

Any idea where the icon is located?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Cartman316:
Same problem for the Voice Recorder.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] carina77:
Try this :

1) Make a duplicate of the shortcut (e.g : "Garmin Mobile XT.lnk" when duplicated, Copy of

"Garmin Mobile XT.lnk")

2) Rename "Garmin Mobile XT.lnk" to "Garmin XT.lnk"

3) Use CSMI or JWMD to change the icon of the new shortcut created...

4) Now, add the newly created shortcut and see whether the icon has changed in the

Sense shortcut in the home tab menu! ( I did this and it worked...for a couple of my

shortcuts that changed in WM but didn't in Sense)

5) If it works, now delete the old shortcut and you're good to go...

***Hope this helped...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:
@Carina

Thanks, but how to find the shortcuts? Where are they? For example, where can i find the bing shortcut?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] carina77:
Try looking for the .lnk in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:
It worked! Many thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] stillbrad:
Ok that makes sense...but how would you do that for Camera.ink? You cant even find it in HTC sense.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:
You can easily change the camera icon using CSMI. the new icon just must not have the same name.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] stillbrad:
CSMI? Please help. I using the JD program...i can change it in WM but not quicklinks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Eraser85:
manualiy creating bing regkey should work too, from that you can then use csmi to change it. I haven't tried but should work...?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Cartman316:
Thanks, but it doesnt work for the Voice Recorder.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Popeyes_Rat:
Can you expand on this please?

I have used the other method on this thread (ie, creating shortcuts); but this way my start menu gets cluttered with all the shortcuts due to me not wanting to delete the original "system files" - I get a warning (eg/ Word mobile, MSN Messenger).

What is the best way to get around this problem?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] de Wolfe:
You just have to do the following:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Marcdu81:
Latest version of CSMI works for all my icons . Just do a soft reset after changing it .
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Popeyes_Rat:
Thank you very much. I will try this in the morning.

Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately this doesn't seem to be the case for me. :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] optiknerv:
i have changed the being icon on xanny and miri rooms using reStart and had no problems with this or getting it on sense quick links.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Popeyes_Rat:
Ok... I've got to the bottom of this now.

After changing the icons seemingly ok last night by renaming them, I turned the phone on again this morning and some of them had reset... nightmare!

To solve the problem, I used a combination of renaming the icons and deleting the relevant .bmg files in \Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher (ie, following the guide you quoted).

For anyone reading this in the future, I will make two notes:

1. If you can't find the relevant .bmg file in the ProgLauncher folder; you simply have to rename your icon and then change it with CSMI - it will then appear in the folder and should change the icon with no problems (you won't have to delete anything!).

2. If a .bmg file does exist in the ProgLauncher folder, just delete it and change the icon with CSMI. If after a reset the icon goes back to the original, just change the icon name.

Doing this I came across a problem with the 'Bing' logo. The program icon doesn't populate in my CSMI list - even without filtering. As I write this I have not yet searched about this particular problem (it seems that this thread was started for this issue though!); but if anyone can help, it would be appreciated.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rmanaka:
I used JWMD and chose "Delete Default Icon"...after that the NEW Bing icon appeared after a soft-reset. I then used JWMD "Display Default Icon" to see the new icon art in JWMD.

Guess there is an icon in \Windows?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tossero:
Hi ! I have a similar problem . I want to change the icon for `OBEX ` which was cooked into my ROM but it does not show using CSMI or JWMD .. Any ideas?

Cheers~
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] de Wolfe:
Within JWMD you got the option "tools" - "Scan for unregistered...". Do that and have a look if you can find the icon then within JWMD - for me it worked.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tossero:
Nope..it does not show ! :( Thanks anyway !

Cheers~
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] TubbyHamster:
I had similar issues where clearing the files from Prog Launcher etc did no good, what I found though is if I made a copy of the icon that I was trying to apply to the shortcut, then renamed it and tried again but with selecting the renamed icon it seemed to work most of the time. :)

I think it sort of forced the system to use a totally different named icon where previously it was somehow being cached when you selected the icon with the standard name.

hope this helps someone... :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] antaed:
use a registry editor and go to:

hklm\security\shell\startinfo\start\Bing.lnk

and add new string value with:

name: Icon

string: \Windows\Bing.png

now you can change the icon with any icon changer app or simply overwrite the default icon in \windows folder with any other of your choice

... or, if you like it, you can always install my standard icon pack cab and you don't have to do anything :p

note:

- of course, if you already find the Icon string value under Bing.lnk you just have to enter the icon location, as above

- of course, if the Bing.lnk key is missing you must add it first
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rmanaka:
Wow! Great info, thanks!

I looked in the registry and I already had the Bing folder and Icon key, guess from my JWMD usage. Icon string was null.

I also found that I had two Bing.lnk shortcuts, one in \Windows (ReadOnly, ROM) and the other in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Internet (Archive) where is where I created the shortcut.

I guess the icon for any shortcut in the \Windows folder overrides shortcuts created in the \Windows\Start Menu hierarchy?

Glad to have a little better understanding of what's happenning!:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tossero:
@ antaed Hi ! Is there a way I can change the icon for OBEX wich was cooked into my ROM?

Thank you in advance !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] antaed:
if you cannot find the icon it means it is embedded in the .exe flile.

what you should do is this:

1. copy the icon you want to apply to your device's \windows folder

2. go to registry hklm\security\shell\startinfo\start and find the obex key (perhaps: obex.lnk ?) and add a string value to the key:

name: Icon

string: \Windows\

name of the_icon

.png

3. soft reset
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tossero:
Hi ! Its weird but I cannot find this icon under hklm\security\shell\startinfo\start

It shows in start menu /settings /connections/ OBEX Inbox but not in the registry ! :( Any ideas?

Cheers~
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] antaed:
oh, ok. then the correct path would be:

hklm\security\shell\startinfo\start\settings\connections\obex.lnk\

or you can always use the search function of the reg editor ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lrbpereira:
I use the SK Shortcut Manager

http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?sksmgr/m_sksmgr.html

Very easy...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tossero:
Eh .. I did not explain it well :) I cannot find it anywere in the registry ! Any ideas ?:D

Cheers~
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jokies:
Simply delete Application Data folder in your device memo will work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] antaed:
then i would add the key manually but make sure to

respect the path and exact name

of the shortcut in start menu, so:

- copy your desired icon to \Windows

- go to hklm\security\shell\startinfo\

start\settings

(path to your existing shortcut)

- add new key:

name of the shortcut

.lnk

- add string value to the new key:

name: Icon

string: \Windows\

name of the icon

.png

- reset
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tossero:
It still doesnt work ! I guess its a mystery... Thank you for your efforts !

Cheers~
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Sandmann79:
You have to add this RegKeys, to change the icon:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\Connections\obexinbxex.cpl,0]

"Icon"="Path_To_Your_Icon.png"

Hi,

I've got big problem... When I send SMS to someone and he has turned off phone, I get a delivery notification. When he turn on phone, I get another. So in this point, delivery notification are useless for me, because they don't tell me that someone gets message or not... It's quite confusing. I searched for similar problem, but no luck...

Of course when someone had turned on phone I get only one, proper delivery notification,

Rom which now I use is TESS 4.2, but rom isn't a problem (same on Energy, Shadowline, billyj80, bysio), operator is Polish Orange.

Anyone have any ideas?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] koen-ronse:
Are you talking about "SMS send notification" or "SMS delivery notification"?

The first one you receive directly after sending the SMS (notification from your device). The second one when the SMS is arrived on the device of your correspondent (notification from the network). Both of them you can enabling and disabling with Advanced Config or another Config-tool... ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] goofy3:
Hi,

I talk about delviery notification
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] koen-ronse:
Then you can nothing do I think... Maybe you can call your operator for asking how this is possible... :confused:

Do you have it with only one contact or with other numbers to?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] goofy3:
I've got this problem with diffrent numbers (and diffrent ops), earlier on Trinity everything was ok, so realy I don't know what is going on... Maybe somthing wrong with radio?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] koen-ronse:
No, no, no, you receive the message when the sms is received by your contact. Your device and your radio can't know that... It's your operator who send you the message. So you can do nothing, except disabling it. Best idea is to call your operator... ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] goofy3:
Hmm... Just a while ago, I make test. I send sms from topaz to turned off phone and of course I get delivery message :/ When I turned it on, I got second one. Next, I insert SIM to my second phone, e52, send SMS to switched off phone and what? Nothing. I wait 5minutes, no delivery report. I switched on phone, and when sms arrived I get message.

So it is something with Topaz, not operator...
