Hi Connor,

To make Pokemon work with the Touch HD, as you mentioned you do use the MorphGear emulator. I'm not sure if there is a better emulator or if it can be used in landscape mode...

To use MorphGear, simply download the program and install it with some modules (here).

Note: The modules are .cab files, transfer them on the HD and install.

Then download a good skin for gamepad like this. Now just transfer some ROMs (http://www.rom-freaks.net/) on your HD and load them with MorphGear.

To access the Registry, using your file explorer (Total Commander) go to the Windows directory and locate and open a file called RegEdit.lnk (i.e. registry editor).

By the way, are you using Stock ROM? just thought i'd mention that many cooks (people who make custom ROMs) also incorporate these 3rd party tweaking tools into their custom ROM releases. For example, the one i'm currently using (XannyTech Grid Evo 1.7C) has a Tweaks directory containing applications like 'Advanced config', 'HD Settings Tool', 'Registry Editor', etc by default. If you want to install these individually, then again search the forum for these. Another few i know of are called 'HD Tweak' and 'SKTools', which allow you to tweak and optimise your HD further.

You can also check out this article i came across for information on other tweaks: http://ec30.com/category/utilities

I hope this helps you out.

Regards.
[Touch HD General] Connor MacLeod:
Thanks that does help to give me a single source of tweaks to draw from.

Hope none of them should conflict and become redundant.

Any other tweaks helpful to performance are still welcome.

Now, about the ROM, which windows mobile/manilla combination should I use? Apparently 6.5.3 performs worse than 6.5.1? Does it? I do use custom ROMS, right now I'm on... Miri's 6.5? Premium Rom. Don't know if I should have chosen Premium but the next option down didn't feature Touch Flo.

Does anyone know how he has an invisible landscape overlay:

(you should probably turn off the sound)

Thanks for your help.
[Touch HD General] MasDroid:
No problem at all mate. I would suggest that you read this thread, it gives you information on the latest builds and what they each offer in terms of stability and performance.

You can maybe consider Topix ROMs - they are generally quite fast as they are kept as close to stock. I know that Topix 3.2 has been benchmarked in this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=516190) thread - and yes: It's slower than 6.1 Topix. Still, 3.2 is one of the fastest 6.5 ROMs I've encountered - and the benchmarks do not necessarily represent your experience: For me, the latest Topix ROM seems almost as smooth and fast as the older ones! The difference is only minor! Especially since Kwbr uses Manila 2.1: The ROMs using the newer version of TouchFLO off of the HTC HD2 (Leo), Manila 2.5, have been known to run slower... but that's understandable as they were intended for use on the HTC Touch HD2, which is more superior than the Touch HD with more processing power, etc.

I currently use 28014 build (6.5.3) and in my opinion, I think its quite fast. I would reccommend you try out the same version as I currently use, if not satisfied, then try out Topix.

Regards.
[Touch HD General] rogershroed1991:
If you're having graphical performance issues you could try a wm6.1 rom as in general they'd be faster than 6.5. I tried Dutty 3.9XT for awhile and liked it, it's very simple without a lot of extra things added. I've also tried EnergyRom (both 6.1 and 6.5 versions) and they were both very fast.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renn9420:
Do you think that the G1 will get Android 2.1? Or are we going to have to wait until Drizzy comes out with his. Hopefully Cyanogen comes out with one, his roms are fast.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyweezy:
yes, The g1 might get the OTA Android 2.1 update and lets hope we can get the official Sense UI on the g1 like the htc magic
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renn9420:
Let's hope so.

It would be great. But I'm hoping Cyanogen comes out with a rom based on the Android 2.1 like Drizzy is. :cool:

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mancsoulja:
today i noticed an odd issue with the lights on the navicap on my TP, When the screen switches off the lights on the navicap stay illuminated (The home, back, answer and hangup buttons) the light round the dpad/scroll wheel dont light up tho, i dont know how long this has been going on though as i have only just noticed it :confused:

does anyone know why this mite happen or any ideas to solve it :)

cheers
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] thecubed:
I also can confirm this issue.

Seems to happen only when the light has been activated in landcape mode.

I can recreate this failure every time I reply to a SMS:

Slide open keyboard

Keyboard and navipad lights come on

Reply to sms

Press power button

...and tada! The light is stuck on

The light will go off if I press the center dpad button before I turn off the device, or if I turn back on the device and tap the button.

This problem has followed me through 3 ROMs: the stock ATT Fuze ROM, the new ATT ROM, and an older EnergyROM (8/11/09, not sure which version anymore).

I can also confirm that this problem exists across multiple phones running stock software. My first Fuze had this problem, my current Fuze has this problem, and my friend's Fuze does too. Very odd.

Not a showstopper, but I figure it's the only annoyance I really have to put up with day to day, now that I've got the phone configured the way I like it.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Happy new year!

a rom based 21885 cooked in PRB flashs in my T4242, the build-in ZTA4 Chinese input can't be loaded, but it can work in the 21854 core.

why?
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] wg5566:
Do you have this shortcut called SipInst.Lnk put in windows startup folder?

31#"\Program Files\ZTA4\SipInst.exe"
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] ibmcom:
Yes. it's created automaticlly when the rom flashed in the phone ---- I integrated the ZTA4 as a oem package (ext format).

just now, i created a shortcut of the sipinst.exe in the startup folder and reboot the phone, the input is still inavaliable. and i execute the sipinst.exe from the zta4 installation folder, but nothing can be seen.

i also try the cab installation, also try the sogo Pingyin input, same as the previous.

the A4 oem package can work in the 28011 core and 21854 core.
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] wg5566:
The HanWangBi SIP in my experince never has problem on any new ROMs. It does not has a finger friendly keyboard, but its hand writing recognition is really good. Maybe you can try, usually I check SIPs updates from this site: 3gfan.com

In the ChinaUnicom stock ROM, A4&HanWang works together. There maybe something related to this combination/integration.

Good luck & happy new year!
[Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development] ibmcom:
i have a hwtouch input. but i love the Pinyin input more.

i have to flash back to 21854 now.

[HD2 General] uccoffee:
Please look at the photo.

I just wonder is this just the protective layer of paint or some coating that I should peel off, any other user's experience the same ?

i have reported to HTC, waiting for reply... But I m not in the country that I ve bought the phone now... I wonder can I swap it like 6 months later if it's manufacturing defect.

Update 03/01/2010:

I got a reply from HTC:

__________________________________________________________________

According to the picture you provide, there should be slight appearance abrase in the button. Taking of this small layer of plastic would not affect the function of the phone. you may either leave it as it is or take it off. Thank you for your cooperation.

__________________________________________________________________

Update 04/01/2020:

I follow HTC instruction and peel/scratch away the coating of the HOME button only with finger nails.

The metallic effect's gone, and become just a normal black plastic key.

There are lots of micro lines on the button which cannot be seen on the photo.

It is still acceptable, just that I m not happy about a flag ship device's paint/coating came off so easily.

These are the photos

http://picasaweb.google.com/uccoffee.forum/20100104#

The button actually look nice without the coating in the photo comparing with the one next to it which the coating is coming off.

I m thinking should/can I ask for buttons replacement, or it is just a waste of time cos those buttons coating will eventually come off after excessive use.

i still love my HD2 , just a bit sad about so many problems :(

Update 05/01/2020:

i got HTC reply, nothing much they can help since I m not in Hong Kong.

Anyway, the girl from HTC said there was no one complain about the key's paint coming off.... I just wonder can those people who 's got problem and voted yes, would you mind at least send a complain letter to HTC please.

yep my button is peeling too I had it 4 2 weeks
[HD2 General] chalid:

[HD2 General] mightymn:
Simililar things have happened to my keypad in less than 2 weeks, and I always put it in its pouch. Guess we aren't lucky :p
[HD2 General] aro:
not yet

I only use my HD2 since ~10 days, and do not have this exact problem, yet.

With my previous device (HTC Touch Pro) however, I had a lot of problems with peeling off coating (in TP case it was the plack paint peeling off the housing).

I also have the problem, that I use to buy my devices in Europe with WWE roms, and then take them with me to Japan, where I currently live.

This constellation is a nightmare for warranty return/repair with HTC, as they ask you to sent your device to where you bought it.

To avoid shipping my defect device helf way around the world, I last time decided to send my TP to HTC global repair centre in Taiwan.

They did the repair and they did it quick, but you don't want to know how much that cost me. :(

As soon as my HD2 starts loosing paint or coating, it will contact HTC global rapair in Taiwan again, but this time I will not accept to pay for the repair but push for good will.

The world gets smaller and smaller, customers do not stay in regions where they purchase devies. It is time for companies like HTC to adapt.

My girlfriend bought an Apple iBook in the US. In the menatime we moved to UK, Belgium and now to Japan.

She had warranty repair done to her iBook in all of those contires without an problem, so it should also be possible for HTC, if they just were a little bit more end customer oriented, but now that they try to market HTC as a brand, maybe it will come.

As a customer paying 500+ EUR for their products, I will not take NO for an answer.
[HD2 General] max1274:
Mine is actually worse than the photo in this post. I thought it was a temporary cover when it started to come away, like some buttons/screens have when a phone is brand new.

Damn.. Seeing things like these makes me want to go back to the shop and return it! Mine doesn't have anything but I am "EXTRA" careful with it but if it has happened to so many people it will probably happen to mine to. I cant stand paying 669€ (Portuguese value) for a phone that doesn't keep it together!

I get mad with these kind of problems! :mad:
[HD2 General] Ibb1982:
Mine looks fine, had it since 24/12/09.

Please keep us posted on if you can get HTC to fix it.
[HD2 General] audscott:
Mines fine as well. But you know, the early batches of the HD had surface coating scratch, crack and chip problems. I bought my HD2 a month after they were first offered in the US, hoping to avoid the common problems, which were mostly ROM, but now I think maybe I dodged the bullet on this as well.
[HD2 General] __BlackEyed__:
Actually I would like to know.
[HD2 General] Ibb1982:
I was wrong! I checked my phone at night, and guess I couldn't see the minor peeling I have on the home button. Now I've seen in proper daylight I can see mine is peeling.

This sucks big time. Anyone have any feedback from HTC?

I've also sent a support request via email from the HTC website via http://www.htc.com/uk/CS_Mail.aspx , hope they get back to all of us soon.
[HD2 General] Ibb1982:
Got a response from HTC

HTC are quick, within 2 hours I received a response to the peeling issue:

"We are very surprised to hear that you have an issue with our HTC handset.

If you are within 30 days of purchase, you can book our handset for a DOA (Dead on Arrival) via the retailer. Everything that came with the phone including the box will need to be returned. A DOA can only be booked if there is no mis-use or damage found on the handset.

If you are outside of 30 days, please call us in order to book a repair service.

http://www.htc.com/europe/CA_Hotline.aspx

Please note that the repair centre will need to see the device before diagnosing whether the fault is covered by the Warranty or not. We can not specify a cost until the repair centre has seen it first.

Please see full DOA/Exchange Procedure below if you are within 30 days of purchase:

We can have the device repaired for you, however if you wish to exchange the device and it is less than 30 days old, please return it to the point of purchase for exchange.

The retailer may not be willing to exchange your device depending on the terms of sale you have agreed with them, this is their right and HTC cannot intervene on your behalf.

If an exchange is refused by your retailer then we can still arrange a repair for the device, but we cannot exchange it.

In the event that a repair becomes necessary and you do not wish to arrange it with your retailer please call quoting your reference number (e2e ref) if you have one.

Thank you.

-If these steps have not helped, please let me know by responding using the link provided and I will be happy to check again for you.

Best regards,

HTC Customer Support Team "
[HD2 General] sunking101:
Why would we want to send our handsets for repair, only to have them fit the exact-same button unit. The same thing will happen again. Once we know HTC have manufactured new non-peeling buttons, that's when the repairs should take place. Painting buttons is stupid, why not just make them out of black plastic and have done with it. :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] nicelad_uk:
Until they see them though, they're not going to think its a problem. Catch 22 all the way!
[HD2 General] Syphon Filter:
Barely had my unit a week or so and I think mine are starting to peel too, not 100% sure but it looks like the edges are lifting ever so slightly.

In a device of this quality I think the buttons should have been made from metal not plastic and certainly not poorly painted plastic at that!
[HD2 General] xavierdemon:
Mine is fine - 2 to 3 weeks old. If you guys do have really bad peeling you could try just painting the keys with clear lacquer, this should prevent the keys from further peeling but it's only a suggestion.
[HD2 General] Hellas4:
Leo 5 weeks old no probs here...maybe it's because i don't use the keys too much..dunno!
[HD2 General] ToddeSwe:
Tapping noise...

Hi!

I don't have his problem, BUT: i do have a annoying problem.

When tapping very softly it seems to me like the button strip has become lifted from whereever they are supposed to be attached to. :)

I get a clicking sound when tapping softly!

Hope you understand :)

[HD2 General] iphoneresister:

It looks like it's not the end of the world but what a stupid design to put stickers on the buttons. How could HTC not anticipate that it would wear off with use? Oh well...

[HD2 General] MaskedMagi:
Interestingly I swapped my two week old HD2 for a new one today and although so far the newer one is better in terms ob battery cover and flush screen and runs smoother (though may be due to 2.02 ROM), I believe that the newer one has the same problem (or at least it will do) with the button coatings coming off. There is also a heck of a slide and play in the bar of buttons, they can really move a lot side to side if you push it around.

The older model I had had amazingingly sturdy metallic looking keys with no give whasoever. They almos seemed like real metal, whereas the ones on this newer one are very much plastic. I could swear that the buttons were segregated instead of being in one piece as well on the older one, but I think this might be my imagination running wild with me unless anyone wants to support this?
[HD2 General] uccoffee:
I used to have a prophet, the buttons are in "SILVER" , and the paint will eventually come after after being used for sometimes. That's why at the later release of prophet, they ve changed the button to BLACK, the paint kind of some off slower.
