[HD2 General] bpeu:
I have a lot of favorites in Firefox which I was trying to transfer to htc hd2, so far no luck.

First I export favorites to html, then import html to Internet explorer, move all favorites inside the "Favorite" folder which is the one that phone uses. After I sync the phone with pc I do get some favorites, but many that have been inside folders are dissapearing. After more syns, even more favorites are dissapearing.

Does anyone know a reliable way to transfer favorites to phone?
[HD2 General] bpeu:
So far I got two ideas, either add all favorites manually one by one and disable syncing or simply copy the bookmarks.html file over to phone and then use favorites through it.

Maybe someone figured out how to sync properly, though?
[HD2 General] jakem:
Your favourites need to be in the Mobile Favourites folder in IE.
[HD2 General] ukadvantage:
I have the same problem with Mobile Favorites, sometimes they are deleted on the device after sync.
[HD2 General] bpeu:
Yes I do know that.

The problem is if you place favorites in mobile favorites and you have sub folders in that folder then after you sync only some favorites from sub folders get synced, and with each sync more and more are getting deleted.

Example

Mobile favorites

link1

link2

link3

link4

link5

folder1

link6

link7

folder2

link8

folder3

link9

After syncing links 1-5 are synced normally, folders are synced as well, but links that are in folders 1,2 and 3 are not synced, or dissapearing after consequent syncs.

I understand your problem now that you've explained it.

Hi, is there any cab, that can change absolutely all original HTC green "stuff" in manila 2.5 to blue or red?

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] inselstaat:
I think there is no cab that can do that..

Maybe you could try it yourself with "CFC+Gui" and Photoshop.

I hope i could help you.
[HD2 General] richie_jones:
Now that HTC have located the reset button under the battery cover whats the point in it anymore. If the covers off you may as well yank the battery out than spend 10 minutes looking for a suitable pen etc to press the little bugger with.....

Just my 2 pence worth!!!!
[HD2 General] jakem:
Agreed. I just pull the battery when necessary because I never have anything small enough to press it.
[HD2 General] Som30ne:
You dont really need it anyway

If you want to soft-reset the device - just hold the power button,

then select "Power Off".

Tap the power button again - and - the device had soft-resetted.

It the device is hung - well, that's a different story,

as you said - just pop the battery, and you're set.
[HD2 General] biranouran:
Bad idea to hide reset point. Window mobile sucks a lot, and everyday I need open the battery cache. Just boring.
[HD2 General] weareborg:
Is a simple power cycle (power off/on) the exact same thing as a soft reset?

I always thought they were different for some reason?
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
They are not different. Only sometimes you can't use power off, for example if the device is stuck.
[HD2 General] jakem:
I can't imagine what you are doing if you have to soft reset like this every day but I wouldn't blame it on Windows Mobile. I think I've had to pop the battery maybe twice in the last month and I know that it was my fault at least one of those times.
[HD2 General] Pixel:
Agreed. Although so far the only thing I've had that needs it is when the lock-screen decides not to accept my PIN. But how long until the battery cover no longer stays in place?
[HD2 General] KapaGT:
Strange.. Never had to make a reset yet. Still havent crashed on me not only once. Am I blessed? lol

Yes if I need to do it the buttin is not on the best spot but for me it is working like a charm! :D
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
I had few hangups trying different CorePlayer output devices. Also had to reset few times because of problems with lock screen (could not unlock).

But all-around, HD2 is pretty stable for WM device.
[HD2 General] Pixel:
If spare back-plates become readily available, and don't cost too much, I might drill a hole in mine so that a paperclip could hit the reset button without pulling the back off every time. Given the location of the reset button, it almost feels like this hole should already exist.
[HD2 General] Shifty-PK:
Due to a crash caused by putting the phone in standby while closing down igo8, i had to reset my device to make it work again.

I didnt had a pencil close by so i just pulled the battery out. When i booted it again it seems manilla became corrupted and restored itself (like after a hard-reset). I needed to fill in my details in manilla just like after a hard reset. So some information was lost, but the storage on the phone was still there. But for example i needed to install cf3.5 again and all the apps asked if they are verified before i could start them again.

I wonder if this problem occured because i pulled the battery instead of pushing the reset button? ANyway this is a pain in the ass bug but as far as i can tell im the only one with this problem so far...
[HD2 General] cyclingfan74:
Well, I think HTC chose to hide the soft rest button right next to the battery becuase of two reasons:

1. You don't have the chance to accidentally press that button. BTW: I have never accidentally pressed the soft rest button on my P4350...

2. If they hadn't built in such a button, everyone here qould be bragging and nagging that there is no such button, and you'd always have to "pull the plug" ie. the battery, which would of course be harmful for the battery etc. pp. ;)
[HD2 General] Pixel:
3. They didn't actually use the device enough to realise that hiding the reset button was a daft idea.
[HD2 General] chris10230:
Design over function, I think...
[HD2 General] sunking101:
The reset button should be recessed into the lower SIDE of the phone, next to the usb and earphone ports. Having to remove the battery cover just negates the need for the button, period. :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] adell_:
I think it's good for design. And it's not like we need to press the reset button everyday.
[HD2 General] sunking101:
Um but you never need to press the reset button. Ever. Once you've taken the battery cover off it's easier to just remove the battery than press the reset button....
[HD2 General] Pixel:
Until the battery cover no longer stays on because the plastic tabs in the phone body have been worn because they forgot to put a small hole in the battery cover to reach the reset button.

Can anyone PM me some links to get some keyboards to try, like Resco etc? Sorry for hijacking!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dingolino:
In sk-tools I have seen under "Eingabemethoden" (= should input method or something simelar) that the standard WM keyboards are just deactivated.

So you can give it a try with sk-tools and reactivate whatever you want.

I will not try it for you because so far my HD is running fine and I want to wait with the next hard reste for the next rom ...

Best regards,

dingolino
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lord.Nibbler:
Thank you dingolino :) you are right, the keyboard is still there but hidden or may I say quite buried by HTC :mad:

I don't have the registered version of skTools so I browsed the web to try to find a way to enable it back :

First I tried to enable it in registery : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4990566&postcount=3

But it wasn't enough ...

So then I tried SIP Change which allows to force to display the keyboard :) But the little arrow that allows to choose the keyboard still doesn't display the keyboard in the list :( So for now I have to launch SIP Change each time I want to choose the standard WM Keyboard (which BTW is surprisingly good and finger friendly enough if you enable gestures :cool: )

So the last thing I miss is some hack to remove the s*cking uhh I mean HTC "customized" little arrow at the right of the keyboard to display a menu with all the keyboards installed and also the settings for each keyboard. I tried to wander as discussed it the following post : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=482910 but for now I didn't found a solution that works.

So if someone have a solution to disable the "HTC customized little arrow" and replace it by the standard one please share it with us :)

Cheers,

Nibbler.

Hello,

I have installed Igo 8 on my HD2 but when I tried to fill in the place or the street in the search area, there is an strange error. In the field where normally the place's name or street stays, there are now 2 letters. An A and and Ǻ.

AǺ

When I tried to erase them with the backspace button, it won't work.

There is also an irritating beep like beep beep beep beep.

I got absolutely same problem on my HD2, i try to issue Tech support about this. it is absolutely impossible to search :-(
[General Questions and Answers] roul174:
Solved :-)

It is necessary to edit your sys.ini files to add this code inside:

[device]

type="HTC Touch HD T8282"

sdcard_dsk_num=7

in your case just

type="HTC Touch HD T8282" into the [device] part.

!!!!

Take eye on that, you change sys.ini file on both paths device\Program files and SD Card\IGo8.

!!!!

Problem in my Leo has been solved this way.

htc hd2 igo8 typing issue

Hello, for all those HD2 users who are having typing issues on iGO8 still not resolved after following the above instructions , just try this :

FOLLOW THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS UP TO THE POINT OF INSERTING YOUR PHONE TYPE , THEN INSERT INSTEAD OF YOUR DEVICE NAME "SGH-I780",SO IT WILL LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS

[device]

type="SGH-I780"

etc.

BOTH ON THE STORAGE CARD AND PROGRAM FILES -iGo8.

I think it has something to do with the fact that in older data zip. files there are no settings for newer htc devices, so we have to use the most similar device settings.

Worked on mine, hope it helps!

Hi all,

My decision to start migrating from WM to Android turned up to be be quite a headache. And here is one of the problems.

For next year I intend to use Hero and HD2 at the same time and I will need to have them synchronized. Main issue is to have synced SMS - I have tried and looked for different options but ended up with nothing.

Ways it could have been implemented:

1. Desktop PC software that allows you to sync both Android and WM devices, including SMS.

2. Something like Sprite Migrate, but software that works both ways.

3. Something like My Phone service by MS but works on all platforms

4. Software that will export txts in some common standard like xml. I tried to export with SMS Backup & Restore and to restore it to WM with Jeyo Mobile Companion but formats are different

5. Others: backing up to SIM, trying to use backup created on Android with Sprite Backup on WM, forwarding sms via bluetooth, etc....

So as you can see, I have tried many options but was was unsuccessful. Any other ideas how to transfer sms from WM to Android?
[Android Software Development] juppmapice:
I think you can save your SMS on your SIM card, but idk if android can read them out of the box.

Sync to IMAP and Gmail

Have you tried syncing to IMAP? I use MobiTnT (SMS Mobile Archiver would also work I think) that syncs to Outlook a folder. This folder can be transferred to G-mail, perhaps even automatically. To synk between Android and Gmail, you have the android sms project: http://code.google.com/p/android-sms/wiki/UserGuide
[Android Software Development] leducbao:
SMS Migrator

- First, down load http: // wince.nasenbaeren.net / smsimport/ to export SMS from WM then copy it into your SDCARD on Android Phone

- Then go to Android Market to download "SMS Migrator"

See more here: http: // a.baole.org/ sms-migrator

[Android Software Development] coldchillen:
sorry for the late reply, but i switched from wm to android and transferring sms messages from one platform to another was something i wanted to do also.

*note* ive onlly transferred from wm6.1 to android

1. i went to this site (google "import/export move sms") [i cant post links 'cus im still new] and installed SMS Exporter.

2. exported to mmc/harddrive..

3. installed sms backup and restore from android market

4. moved the exported .xml file to the sms backup app folder

5. imported.

hope this helps.
[Android Software Development] leducbao:
No, SMS Migrator imports sms and automatically creates sms thread for you.
[Android Software Development] SeventhApollo:
suggestion: use Google Voice. It's awesome, and would allow you to sync stuff :)
[Android Software Development] hendrixus:
Well. I just used the SPRITE stuff and it worked. The SMS is a little different cause Android uses threaded SMS. You you think not all of the messages are there, but they are. I didn't see any sorting it in maybe except for the subject.

Migrating contacts worked too. But SPRITE says it will wipe old data, but it doesn't. That means I have double contacts.

The WM app starts going nuts when you view the log. You have to reset the device to continue.But this is after the data is stored in a safe place on your WM device.

It doesn't do appointments. Maybe for that I have to use the .pib of Pimbackup the extract to .cvs and read it.

But the software is in beta. At least I converted it.
[Android Software Development] kekkle:
Found this topic. But I'm gonna work on something myself. I'm gonna try to extract the SMS to a CSV on WinMo. Write a simpel script to create an XML. And that XML I'm gonna import on Android.

I was shocked when listening to my old midi files on the cooked ROMs for the Tornado. I was investigating (took some time) and found that the file "HTCMIDI.avd" has decreased in size compared to previous ROMs. Looks like the instrument samples are gone (saves 240Kb - ridiculous!). I took the file from my VOX stock-ROM, put it on the tornado (to \windows) - and sounds like it should now.

Related threads (search XDA-dev. for "HTCMIDI.avd") report the same for other devices.

Grab the attached ZIP and test yourself. I have added some very good MIDI files - listen to them BEFORE you put the HTCMIDI.avd on your device and AFTER you did it. I am sure you will not go back :-)

Does anyone know which registry key I would need to modify (and to what value) to reassign the PTT button on my Tilt 2 so that I can make it launch the camera instead of the PTT software? I have no use for this software nor would I want to pay for it but having it launch the camera is much more useful to me. I was able to do this with the AT&T software setting but now that I've flashed to The Cell ROM AT&T V2 that option is no longer there. I love the ROM. It's far superior to the stock AT&T one but I am missing that one little thing.

I have AE Button Plus but it's using too much of my CPU so I'd rather find another way that doesn't involve installing another program.
