Nothing against 3g and the speed but can't confirm what you say about reboots by HD2 unless you do that simply due to better performance etc. I'm o 1.48 stock ger and actually the only reboots I did in the last weeks were caused by new software inst. etc. And I do have lots of apps running on it. The performance is quite good according to the apps I'm running in it. Honestly I can't really racall when I've had my last soft reset just because something was stuck. Of course there were few in my case as well but by far not on a daily basis.

Cheers
[HD2 General] BLAST3RR:
Only Apple's way of conducting business (cover up stories about exploding phones, telling people to shut up or they won't get replacements, basically dictating what should be on your phone and what not) is a total NO-GO for me concerning any Apple products.

Tweaking is fun. If you don't like tweaking or the thrill it gives you to explore and have it fully personalized - YOUR own phone - don't go for the HD2.

I love my HD2 and as far as I know it has just been out a couple of months. Give it time to unleash it's full potential. Hell, it wasn't even possible to install any other GPS app than an online version for the iPhone years after it's first launch.. How nice of them to advertise with it's amazing GPS capabilities.. 'Lost on your vacation trip? Use online maps!' - yeah right.. While roaming? Pretty expensive..

Just give it time and you will see the HD2 is an amazing phone that you can really call 'yours' - with pride.

Oh.. Almost forgot. I had a phone with an SifrStar III chipset before. I can tell you that my HD2 is sooo much faster in getting a cold fix.. Both utilized AGPS, and with the latest 'GPS definitions' the SirfStar chipset still is a turtle compared to HTC's. My HTC even has indoor signal most of the time!

Definitly go for iPhone if you want to buy a new phone for the full whoppin' pricetag every year that has one or two MINOR new 'features' that could have been easily added to the previous versions (with merely software upgrades).

There is no 'best phone'. You must do it yourself. Get used to it.
[HD2 General] the-uki:
You don't seriously believe those are all 2 billion fart downloads don't you?

Agree with your last argument about 100% WM apps are useful, - 5 years ago. Today, those left over useful I can count on one hand, the rest have been seriously surpassed by equivalent or better on iPhone, and don't continue to evolve on WM. Given that more than 50% of all mobile phones surfing internet are iPHone, as a developer, I will focus my efforts on the iPhone platform. We'll see how WM7 picks up, if it ever gets there.

Want to buy my HD2?
[HD2 General] the-uki:
Frankly, I expect that to be turned off by default when roaming. Do you have any idea how much data connections cost when roaming? Haven't you heard of people getting ripped of 10s of thousands of dollars because they watched TV when roaming without knowing that this was severely overcharged?

The function is not accessible in the OS. You have to download tools from XDA to turn it off.
[HD2 General] freyberry:
Wrong, the function is right there in the OS. You do not have to download any tools.

Settings --> Connections --> Connections --> Advanced --> Select Networks.

Not as easy to find as on the iPhone, that's true, but that's only because the iPhone is missing so many settings and features.

But no matter how easy to find the setting is, it can be expected from everyone to check that before going abroad. It's those people's own fault when they don't and get charged thousands of dollars. Especially when they watch TV as well, that's really stupid!
[HD2 General] the-uki:
The difference in opinion we have in regard to what should or should not be is that your opinion considers the smartphone to be a device for IT tech savvy people, whereas I consider that it should be both for the tech savvy, but also include some very basic common sense, such as Apple understood to include in their device.

To get the best of both worlds, you can jailbreak the Apple, and you have to wait for WM7 for the HD2, if it ever comes out.
[HD2 General] freyberry:
No, that only gives you the basic features that Windows Mobile provides out of the box. It makes the iPhone just as 'complicated' as a Windows Phone and still doesn't give you all the possibilities.

If a non-jailbroken iPhone gives you all you need, you should NOT buy a Windows Phone.

However, if you want more than a non-jailborken iPhone can provide, you should definitely not buy one and instead get a Windows or Android phone (Android if you want the 'best of both worlds', Windows if you want the most fetures and possibilities).
[HD2 General] tworhythms:
The thing that is hard to understand is why people who are clearly iPhone biased, post on a Windows Mobile based forum in the first place? It's like a Ford boy bashing and posting on a GM based forum. IMO nothing good will come out of it. For those who own iPhones and genuinely LOVE them (I own an iPhone and honestly, am bored!) then contribute where it will be productive. I have owned SO many different devices over the many years and yes, the iPhone is a great piece of hardware, but the whole apple marketing trend is tiring! App this, i-that, BORING!! It's too bad that Microsoft is waiting this long to fight back with, what I believe to be, a more

powerful

operating system. True, everyone has an opinion and is welcome to voice it, but I think it's just not productive to do it where it doesn't belong. If I have offended anybody then I am truly sorry, it's not my intention :)
[HD2 General] _X_:
Maybe MS waited for just the right moment to hit Apple with OS that is much better than anything around. That could be the moment when Apple released "new" device that starts, again, with an "i". When Apple has to support and develop OS for 3 "devices" (iPod, iPad, iPhone, iMac or whatever desktop OS is called). Same goes with Android that also showed signs of weakness at exact moment when market and devices running Android got fragmented.
[HD2 General] Spike15:
M$ "hit" the iPad with the HP Slate before Steve Jobs ever announced it.

Steve Jobs announced a bigger iPod Touch, running iPhone OS, that can't multi-task (much like the iPhone/iPod Touch), can't understand Flash (much like the iPhone/iPod Touch), ~20 days after M$ unveils the HP Slate, which runs full-blown Windows 7.

M$ is usually ahead of Apple's curve, it's just that they don't market as well.
[HD2 General] freyberry:
Who is M$?
[HD2 General] Spike15:
Microsoft.
[HD2 General] freyberry:
Ah, so why do you call them M$ then? The company's called Microsoft Corp. and their stock symbol is MSFT.
[HD2 General] Spike15:
"Micro$oft, M$ (Microsoft): used to emphasize the allegation that Microsoft has business practices that focus on making money rather than producing good products or looking after the end user's needs and interests. Microsoft was convicted under United States anti-trust law of taking unfair advantage of its monopoly position. Also criticized for taking advantage of loyal customers and upgrading products annually for an expensive price."

I -- a Microsoft "fanboy" -- have "reclaimed" this.
[HD2 General] freyberry:
Oh, so you can actually make money without good products? I have to try that out... :D

But seriously, stop using that silly abbreviation. ;)
[HD2 General] imperiallight:
Similar to what Freyberry said if the iphone can sort of do most things you want then don't switch. Nearly every Windows Mobile app. has a similar or better app available on the Apple appstore i.e you will lose software functionality.

However some basic features I really wanted were:

Large screen, speedy processor and high resolution for Web and PDF reading.

Others may like a great camera or flash support

When I take my Leo out I always have an ipod touch in my wallet.
[HD2 General] the-uki:
All,

so I gave up on my HD2 and sold it, bought an iPHone 3Gs.

wow, I'm breathing again: all apps I want, and they auto-update to the latest version too.

My only regrets from HD2 are the following:

- GSM 3G/2G reception on HD2 was more sensitive: in the parking garage of my office I could still listen to streaming, where I can't with iPHone

- sound quality: connecting to the car audio-in jack, the HD2 had a lot better sound quality than the iPhone 3GS

- interestingly, despite poorer reception on the 3GS, streaming radio on the 3GS when driving is more stable than on the HD2 (less drop-outs on the same route)

nevertheless, I will not go back to HD2, due to the apps I have with Iphone that don't exist for WM.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zen_green:
the way you design the top taskbar is just terrific !

congrats!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] federaly:
Be good if you can remove the top clock as 2 clocks is slightly silly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] madman_cro:
nice work man

edit:it is blazing fast on diamond2. looking forward to helping this project. first ui that doesnt lag
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] venomshot629:
This looks very, very nice!!! Add a few social apps, camera, messaging, mail... You're all set! The UI and background are beautiful though, this has great potential and I'm looking forward to your progress!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] skyler17:
Nice! Thank you :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rim1Flex:
There is no settings menu. I have to exit the program to get to settings. Also, I can't stop my Internet connection through it. Nice program though:D.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kenia1234:
Nice UI...it's really cute even if it's an alpha!!! :) keep this way!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nap007:
lol at "infinity can even increase your battery" :D:D:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] b14ck_h4wk:
infinity is really cool, really fast. i ran it on 6.5.3 and it run fine for me. it just needs to be completed already!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SaBo:
This looks really promising.

Very slick, clean and finger friendly design.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iridium21:
Small update on 2010/01/03:

- Added more widgets

- Added options to the shortcut widget

- Improved taskbar and hardware button support

- Some small bugfixes

This now has missed call and missed SMS widgets:

http://forum.ageye.de/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=1369

And tomorrow, the widget SDK will be available!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] madman_cro:
great job. but it shoud be ver 0.2 now:). and btw is this going to stay freeware?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] impreZzA:
As I know it wont, just the beta will be for free ...

If I am wrong, pls correct me, I would be happy about :)

Looks great, specially if it runs like a "program", but there is s.th that is kinda annoying: the icons are looking like a mess, I mean they are looking like rubbish windows mobile (I mean the program ones, like Excel, etc... :) not ur customized icons!), it doesnt fit with the gorgeous rest of the program! Pls fix that !!!

I will give it a try tomorrow!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brunoisa10:
really nice UI :)

hope you'll work about Landscape mode too ;)

EDIT : Is it possible to have a widget to show Operator , or other registry values ?

and invisible link widget to call program or lnk (I think about settings about Network operator)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mushipkw:
The major advantage of Infinity is its easily customizable i.e like s2u2 all u need is change images in the directory. I have already started playing with customization.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] egzthunder1:
Hats off to you. This looks pretty impressive. I might end up cooking it in my rom if it is usable enough. I will give it a shot and try to post some feedback!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DeVisible:
Just for clarification:

This program is supposed to become shareware once it reaches the final version. The program author ageye announced in his forum that the price will most likely be around 10€ (EURO).

icons

Hello iridium21,

maybe a stupid question, but how can I change the icons and where can I find such icons as yours, well.

Thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alecoddlyiv:
icons for widgets are held in a gfx folder for the specific widget.

icons for the rest can be found in various catagories under skins\default.

I have already had a play and replaced the missed call icon with an image of a kaiser and done the same for the ring mute and vibrate icons.

they have to be saved as png's with transparent backgrounds.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ragingbull:
Nice work mate, I can't wait to see how this develops.

I can tell you that already it seems to be better than SPB Mobile Shell. :)

And a (future) landscape version would be even better!! :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] needmoney:
Can't wait for full version! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kraski:
Very nice start for an alpha. There's one thing I haven't figured out, yet, though. The menu that pos up from the center button is configurable as to what you add, instead of holding everything. But nothing in the video shows how nor anything I've tried will let me remove items from that menu if I change my mind. Even uninstalling & reinstalling leaves that setting. Is there a way to remove items from that menu?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] guike:
Thanks :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chelsea_fc:
what a fresh taskbar, great job !!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schizo440:
Nice concept. Excellent work mate
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Uss_Defiant:
really looking forward to this... good luck! looks great so far
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _Mix:
really cool stuff with potential. the only point is to give user a chance to change bottom control (menu, cross, etc. ) with something custom...

Keep moving forward!)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jse2:
Really nice looking interface.

Needs some modifications. Rightside close button is not neeeded, instead it can be used to launch some other applications. Closing function should be from the menu option.

Option to change the wall paper, and the colour scheme also should be added.

Infinity can be the future of the windows interface.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nex7er:
Already making a theme based off of the new HTC Espresso's new Sense interface (http://www.unwiredview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/HTC-Espresso-Android-Sense-UI.jpg)

Might not have too much time for it this week, but yeah... we'll see. Easy stuff. If I had a partner who could write widgets, I'd make a great theme.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] guike:
Hi,

beautiful. Also by using a HTC TyTN II?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kekkle:
oh my goodness that looks straight up AMAZING!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spooke:
Just letting you all know that I have created two themes for this, HTC Hero Sense UI and Droid/Nexus One, they are unreleased atm.. I will try and release them by tommorow :p

http://forum.ageye.de/viewforum.php?f=57

Btw I really like this UI and think it has great potential for WinMo users who want a change :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teorouge:
Anybody got the "second" alpha to work on a WM6.5.5 (build 23518)? Tried to install, switched OFF any Today plugins like Sense or Titanium, couldn't find it in Today plugins list but found a "Infinity" icon in start menu, tapped, and it sat thinking with the 4 dots spinning... soft-reset after a couple of stuck minutes, and I had to hard reset cause it took me to the initial WM settings ("Tap the screen here to...") after the soft reset (and over, and over, and over...). Would really like to try that, but do like "living on the edge". :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] okan22:
works perfect on my asus p552w

a little report from me

locking things for me is not necessary because I use s2u2 (because of the calling program in it!!)

- closing button is not needed

- doesn't work the missed call (it keep sayng that a call is missing)

- i think that should be a shortcut for the settings menu of wm (maybe there is but i didn't find)

- of course should start automatically and change the wallpaper

- a little bug if i close the program the bar in the top still there

- in task manager i've got two process task bar of infinity and the infinity program..

i use this rom 23081

great work and sorry for bad english
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Irishpride:
That is amazing...keep up the great work!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mydogholly:
Just Wondering..

This looks AMAZING, and i think for an Alpha, it works really well. I was just wondering when we can expect a Beta.

Thanks for anyone who replies.

I like it because it's really fast and simple. Sure, ageye needs to add many functions, but he is on a good way.

Hey Im working on a HTC Espresso theme :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] madman_cro:
i have that keyboard on topaz so i guess that is default htc
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Irishpride:
Seems like your making some really good progress! Just tried 0.2 and from what I can tell it's running a lot better than 0.1. Not sure it's ready to be used as my full time UI, but its getting there! I've always been a fan of Ageye products and I'm glad to see your continuing to improve what will soon be a very effective UI.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Win_XP:
Hi, great UI! Would be great also if you put landscape support in the future releases :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MariusOX:
How is it coming along? Is that a screenshot of what you are working on?

Im currently working on a Ubuntu theme=)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spooke:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] caballero600:
Has everyone Infinity running smoothly? Many people says that's is very fast, also faster than SPB. But in my case (htc elfin) it runs very very laggy (don't know why) spb runs ok! pointui also! other UIs also!

What's happening? am I the only one?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Fidius:
same over here! and I've got the elfin too...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brunoisa10:
tested v0.2 : really cool sms interface

when infinty started I had a message : exipred on 2010/01/25 , what is that ? Is it only trial ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] caballero600:
I have been playing around, and it seems is a problem with first version or first skins... I'm not sure.

Now runs a little bit better doing this:

-Uninstall every infinity

-Delete whole folder in Program Files

-If you can clean registry of infinity

-install 0.2 and apply a skin ONLY that works with 0.2 version like "carbon 0.3", if any other previous (not updated) skin is applyed, infinity becomes laggy.

EDIT: or maybe are the other users widgets that not work correctly... The only thing I can view that a clean install works a littlel bit better.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Fidius:
thx but it still works quite laggy, doesn't it? SPB sure works smoother on my phone. guess it's because it's still an alpha... and overall the htc touch hasn't got great performance (200mhz processor :( )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mydogholly:
Infinity 0.2.1! :)

0.2.1 has been released over at Ageye. I can't post a link, but check it out.. Not much differance, but landscape is supported!

=D

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] taospirit:
hello i just try the last version of infinity and i think it will be a nice UI. But for more originality, is it possible to have page transition with rotation panel style or another animation style than slide?

And just a pb, it's not possible to open MMs with the sms browser, so how can i do?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ntt2006:
The new version 0.2.1 can down here
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brunoisa10:
with last version we've lost Calendar and Image Page ?

and it shows expired on 2010/02/15 when starting the UI

I have a problem using a link , seems the program is ran n times when clicking on the icon (using PocketWakeUp)
