[HD2 General] ErwinC:
I wish to confirm the UTF-8 UTF-16 issue.

None of my cd-ripped in WMP (windows 7) music plays on the HD2 and even makes my HD2 to badly respond (slow).

I noticed some downloaded files did play.

For the cd-ripped trakcs I noticed that the filename was given instead of the Title/artist. It was clear to me that this is a tag issue.

I found this thread and tested to save the ID3 tags in UTF-8 instead of UTF-16 and indead my tracks are playing now.

It is clear that the HD2 does not support UTF-16 and this is very annoying.

I believe, but thats a suspicion only, the problem lies in the combination of ripping cd's in to WMP Windows 7. Posibly Win7 WMP started using UTF-16???

I reported the issue to HTC NL, but the find it weird they do not have many calls for this.

Posibly this is because I belong to the few persons that still buy CD's, use Windows 7 and wants music on their HTC phone :-)
[HD2 General] cavemandan:
Is there still no fix for this????

I have 14gb of music on my sandisk micro sdhc

all ripped with winamp flac format

my new :mad:htc legend:mad: wont play any of my music

so i re-ripped it all to mp3 format, and used mp3 tag, now htc player finds about 6-10% of the music on the disk

POS phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[HD2 General] ErwinC:
HTC is fixing nothing (or not much) for the HD2. I believe they have disabandond the HD2 and are focussing on delivering the HD3 with Windows Phone 7.

Hoping that every HD2 user will buy the HD3 out of frustration.

The HD2 is/was a promissing machine, but HTC sense is so buggy that its unsuable 3x resets a day is way to much. I purchased the replacement shell from SPB, my HD2 is now working reasonably normal.

What I do is, after syncing (I use WMP7 for that) the SD card (in the HD2) , I scan my SD card with a soft called MP3 tag (www . mp3tag . de/en), select all files and click on the save button to save the tags.

My MP3 tag is default set to ID3V2.3 ISO-8859-1 (if I'm not mistaking).

So it saves the tags in a format that the HD2 understands.

I have the same issue with my Car Radio.

I need to do this everytime I sync my HTC SD card.
[General Questions and Answers] serafinpabon:
after i delete certain apps i downloaded sometimes they leave behind a file that cant be deleted no matter what i do. for example i downloaded PointUI home but didnt like it so i deleted it using add/remove programs in system settings. everything was deleted except for a small file called 2001. it wont delete and ive tried everything. until i find a way to do so it still shows up in add/remove programs. i have 4 such apps that wont go away because of that same problem. i have an htc snap on sprint running windows mobile 6.1 if that helps any. im stumped! any help would be greatly appreciated

try SKTools....
[General Questions and Answers] serafinpabon:
i have sktoolslite but im unsure if itll let me delete them. i had issues deleting those programs and sktoolslite deleted most of those files except for that one file. i look in the windows folder under app manager and the folders for said apps are still there with that one stubborn file in each folder. again. any help would be appreciated
[General Questions and Answers] Farmer Ted:
I don't know what those files are, but if you test cabs frequently, then sk tools is a good way to install them (use the cab manager, select install w/ sk tools). It does a better job of removing programs (go to installed programs, do a deep scan and uninstall).

For now, you may fix the problem by using the installed programs tool and removing uninstall info (if the apps appear there). To get rid of the files in \windows, try checking for replaced rom files and restoring to original. You may need to add the proper extensions in settings.
[General Questions and Answers] serafinpabon:
it keeps saying that the file is a system file and if deleted the phone wont work properly. when i try to delete anyway it tells me i cant . access is denied. be certain that the program is not write protected and not currently in use. before that it would say problem deleting file

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] torture80:
Hello everyone!

I am new to this so please forgive me if my questions are simple and stupid.

I have read many pages here but i think i didnt see any answer to my questions.

I have the htc hd. since it is new i have the officiall rom and the windows 6.1

i have heard that changing rom or windows from a non-HTC officiall suplier/provider will result to lose my guarantee.

I see you people posting themes for different roms and that makes me wonder. if i install one of those themes on mine, will it work?

also. i found a touchflo theme creator here but it is to be installed at the phone directly. is there a similar program available for PC? i personally think its much easier (to me) to create a theme on your PC and then install it as a .cab file to your mobile!

Thank you
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] djcedric:
one thing to know is that you need to read wich version of manila you have on your phone and read for wich version of manila the themes are made so you can see if its compatible or not.

hi, anyone know:

i am a chinese user, everytime i flased english ROM, i installed chinese support and chinese input software, then i can type chinese characters, but when i add new contact, i can't type chinese character for create names, how to fix this??

thanks,BTW, sorry about my english;)

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] keanu033:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jldiablo:
you need to go to MS contact instead of HTC people,.. it seems HTC people does not allow chinese in the name field
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hkmystique:
for me, chinese characters displayed perfected in ny HD, including but not limited to HTC People.

which chinese language pack u r using?

btw, A4 released a new QQpinyin input for wm which include stroke input, u can make a try first.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RobRedbeard:
First, where did you get 2.9, I'm still using 2.8 wvga.

Second, ewww yuck, stroke input? Isn't that for old people who were educated before PinYin?

Third, you should be able to input Chinese for new contacts. The problem is that HTC changed the font that they use for those screens and most chinese font cabs don't font link it. Search your registry for fontlink and make sure the Helvetica Neue OTS font includes a link to your Chinese font. Probably, MSYH.ttf. After that, soft reset and things should be fine.

If you still have problems after that, and your regional settings were set to China (PRC), then that's just weird.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] keanu033:
i found 2.9 long time ago on 592ppc, if you couldn't find it, you can ask me i will send to you..

There's that tutorial, but that just shows you how to make a custom image with the shining animation.

I'm talking full on animations, like a gif of a video clip or something. And also, is there a way to incorporate sounds with it, like when the droid is done booting up, it makes that droid robot voice?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] arturobandini:
Some soft may be difficult to remove.

In such case, the best is often to install the program again and try do disable it in the setting.

Then uninstall it again.

The best way to uninstall totally a soft is to use SK Tools.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ownjoouk:
Hi guys,

I was going to post this in general, but as it is possible development I thought it may best be suited here. Sorry if it isn't!!

Anyway, I'm no developer so I don't know if this is even possible, hence why I thought I'd throw it out there.

What I was thinking is, as a user of the flip clock and also using Stericson lock screen, I have the time in full view of my home screen / lock screen all the time.

The fact it is in the top right corner is of no use to me really. It's also apparent that when you have several icons in the notification bar (especially when plugged in on USB) it gets crowded and tends to hide alot of them.

What is the feasibilty of removing / hiding the clock from the notification bar, and moving the 3g/wifi/bt/battery icons into the right hand corner?

Would this actually be possible? I know this wouldn't suit all users but some people may like this as it would give more space for other icons to appear there.

Any Devs care to elaborate on this?

Thanks.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnybueno:
If you wanted to hide the time, you could just make it transparent using Ohsaka's colorChange.jar. Of course, that wouldn't help with the crowded icons.

I like the time in the right corner, useful for when I'm browsing the web on a break from work.

Sadly this has been asked quite a few times, problem is they wont answer even though people want it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ownjoouk:
I guess for now home++ is a good alternative - though I do like using advanced launcher, so removing it properly from the notification bar would be better.

I guess it's just one of them things - although an official yes or no it can't be done would be nice from a dev?! :D

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fraction:
Hey, I have rooted my phone, the Hero, European std.

I used the tutorial on the "TheUnlockr.com", and got to the point where the FlashRec failed, it wasn't supported. The site wrote that if that happened my HTC std rom (2.7...) was fixed, patched for that opportunity of rooting. Although I tried to restart the phone and try again, and then it worked. Strangely I though. But Hey that was cool. It was extremely fast to load the recovery image from the Application, so in my mind it was blinking like, it had gone wrong. I restarted (home+power) into the recovery image, and applied a update.zip

In the new ROM EVERYTHING "unexpectedly stopped working" after another. so i tried the "UNROOT your phone" tutorial on the same site. And it didn't work, the RUU I downloaded displayed an error of that it wasn't the right RUU or something.

After that I started trying to get another updated Recovery image in my phone, Did go quite well, The "recovery-ra-hero-v1.5.2", is no the new image, still if I "flash" a new ROM (2.1) the update way I always ends up with one or to "unexpectedly stopping" of the Settings dialog.. :/

is there any way I can get the HTC 2.7.... ROM in without doing a RUU. Since its not working. :(

Hi All

I've only just started using the 'GPS Photo' option on my HD2.

..and I think I found a glitch. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

I took a photo using the GPS photo option and when I uploaded it to Flickr...it shwed me somewhere else!!! The camera seemed to log the data as

52.390350 0.690536

whereas I'm near

52.390350 -0.690536

..so it seems to have missed out the minus sign in the embedded data in the photo.

I don't know that much about GPS and the workngs of it, but I wanted to use it on holiday to show off :) where I am! Clearly this is a bit of a worry if it's embedding the wrong data.

Thanks in advance

Edit: What I've noticed is that the twitter client on the HD2 and another piece of software I bought all report the location as correct ie they show the missing minus sign. It seems it's only the GPS Photos that's getting it wrong
