[Touch CDMA General] Reddog80p:
I just plug headphones into a 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm adapter and then into the supplied usb Y-splitter that came with my vogue. You can find them everywhere online and at places locally like radio shack.... http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2603246 or try something like these... http://www.google.com/products?oe=U...esult_group&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CBgQzAMwAA
[Touch CDMA General] gooph:
When I first bought my vogue I bought a bunch of cheap accessories for it including an htc ExtUSB to 3.5 mm adapter. I would say that the quality you will get out of it is limited to the DACs (digital to analog converters) built in the phone. I have found it to be acceptable for a phone. The output power of the thing even manages to handle a pair of larger headphones I have at a respectable volume.

All that to say: If you are expecting audiophile grade audio, don't waste too much money on headphones if you aren't going to use them on anything else. It doesn't sound bad though.

A while ago I bought a decent pair of bluetooth in-ear headphones and I am very pleased with those.

Since I bought that I cut apart one of my other htc accessories to make a nice cable that allows me to listen to music in my car from my phone while charging out of one cable.
[Touch CDMA General] berardi:
I guess I can do that, was just hoping for a less bulky solution but perhaps it won't be so crackly using the included stuff
[Touch CDMA General] gooph:
this will work fine, is cheap, and small.

[Touch CDMA General] berardi:
strange, I tried this and the sound coming through is only mono. I used a stereo 2.5 to 3.5 so I don't know what else could be wrong
[Touch CDMA General] *M*:
Power to the Headphones might be an issue if you are getting crackling.

You could try getting one of those mini-amps for high-end head phones

when the device isnt out putting enough power but of course that is just

more cost/pocket space :<
[Touch CDMA General] petermg:
That one came with my Touch Pro, works GREAT!! Thanks for reminding me about it, using it right now :D But I will have to wait to test it on my wife's Vogue, but it's running 6.5, not android.
[General Accessories] patelaquib:
Hi guys I want to use BOSE AROUND EAR/NOISE CANCELLING HEADPHONES on my vogue so i want to buy a usb splitter for same.

also some where i heard that using usb splitter decreaseds the sound quality of headphones

the BOSE uses 3.5MM jack

link to bose:http://www.boseindia.com/retail/bose...647&Nav_Id=647

link to a htc splitter that i think is the best i saw it's also of original htc

link:http://cgi.ebay.com/3.5mm-USB-Adapte...23214003r14433

so please guys help me coz tghe bose headphones are of around 170$ so i dont wanna waste my money

also is the same headphones also compaitable with BLACKBERRY STORM

i will also use the same headphones on blackberry also

thanks guys

hope a quick reply
[General Accessories] codybear:
Well if the blackberry has a headphones jack then I don't see why it wouldn't be compatible.

The link to the headphones is screwed up though.

It shortened the link and put "..." in the middle of it so we can't pull up the actual link.

I've used the HTC splitter on my TouchPro1 and got the same quality as I did with the htc headphones that came with the phone and now with my bluetooth headphones. So I don't really see it being a problem... But I'm not exactly sure for the vogue...
[General Accessories] patelaquib:
again the link

http://www.boseindia.com/retail/bose-product-detail.aspx?Prd_Id=17&Cat_Id=647&Nav_Id=647

as of i know blackberry has a 3.5 mm jack

i just wanted to know that is the original HTC splitter good to go as i have found in some posts that some of the splitters change the quality of audio playback i am again pasting the link of the splitter that i am planning to buy

http://www.amazon.com/OEM-3-5mm-Headset-Adapter-Converter/dp/B001RXTDP2/ref=pd_sim_e_3
[General Accessories] jldiablo:
it wouldn't make that much difference as the sound quality coming out from the phone isn't that good... a cheap working one is good enough (in the case of older HTC devices which don't have the 3.5mm jack, just by a $.99 usb-3.5mm adaptor off ebay) and save your bucks

if you really want to enjoy high quality music with your expensive headphones, buy a proper mp3 player or even a CD player..

I never use my Shure's or etymotics' on my phone, good headphones will amplify its weaknesses...
[General Accessories] aidencade:
Headphones..

Well said.. Well said... Excellent headphones will always amplify that which you don't really want to hear..

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] koffee:
Hi,

since HTC provided us with their kernel I am looking through the internet How do I modify context menu in default messaging app..

In default Android 1.5 (w/o Rosie UI) i looks like this (in Eclipse AVD Emulator):

But who(!) from HTC came with idea, that following option are more useful?:

[- show all threads (I have "Back button" - it does the same)]

- quick text -> OK

- write (why? I clicked input area => i really want to write...)

- attachment -> OK

- delete -> OK

- more (add subject and smiley)

Moreover - why is the keyboard hiding, when I press Menu to evoke context menu? If I want to insert smiley today i have to:

1) write it char after char = : then - and then click the complete smiley from dictionary

2) insert smiley composed from two char (eyes and mouth) if I switch keyboard view. but it doesn't convert into an icon

3) click menu -> more -> insert smiley -> choose one -> tap input field -> continue writing

instead of click menu -> insert smiley -> choose one -> continue writing

I think Insert smiley or add subject (in MMS) is much more useful (at least for me)

I think it won't be that difficult, but I am not the "programming guy"...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lemim0uth:
Hi,

the kernel is what manage hardware, memory, thread, cpu, etc. It has NOTHING do do with user interface or applications. I think you are looking in the wrong direction...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
Furthermore, HTC have not released the source code of their versions of the applications, so they can't be "changed" - the best you can do is "replace".

Note that whilst Android is open source, it has been released under the Apache Software Licence which means that HTC have absolutely no obligation to release the source code to their version of Android and its applications.

Dave

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] stemfour:
I have searched quite thoroughly, both on this forum and wider, for a solution to this. I may be being thick, but...

When I've installed (to either the device or the SD card ) Resco Explorer I get "this is not a valid pocket pc application" when I try to run it. I've tried running it from the start menu shortcut and from the application icon in Program Files.

Would really appreciate help with this as I am unable to do any of the nice HKLM tweaks out there without Resco Explorer.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
Sounds like you may have downloaded an incorrect version. Can you give us a link to where you got it from?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] stemfour:
Well its not exactly an official source, if you see what I mean. I dont mind paying for the application, if it proves to be useful and easy for me to use. Until then I guess Im a bit stuck then.

Ive tried .cab of the 2010 beta and the 2008 "rescoexploreren_p.exe" app, installed via the PC.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
You can download a free trial of Resco, but I'd recommend Total Commander. It's not as finger friendly as Resco, but it's certainly more wallet friendly (as in, it's free ;))

You can Google it or find it on here.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hebbe:
on my leo, resco file explorer 2010 runs without a problem. so i think it's because of your 'source' why it's not running on your device.

try the official demo or search for better "source". but first be sure not having downloaded a virus (actually infecting your pc) :rolleyes:

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] segadc:
Got it yesterday from FedEx!

I was surprised (but admit probably knew) that there was no screen protector. At least with the XV6800 they had one (albiet smaller then the screen). So I have to look for a screen protector. I also have to find a slip case since I am a fan of them.

Oh yeah, I got everthing going good with all the tweaks for TP2 but I still cannot find how to stop Active Sync from keep running. I tried the active sync killer and the fake sever trick with worked on my XV6800 but it won't work with it.

So yeah enjoying my TP2. The keyboard is so nice. Love the WVGA resoution. I am also surprised on how sensitive a resistive screen could be. I actually enjoy using the on screen keyboard for short text messages (but still go to the keyboard for anything longer).
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] drewcam888:
Just go to connection then usb to pc. Then check the disk drive option. Then you no longer have active running.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] segadc:
Ha thanks can't believe I missed that one.:p

edit: Activesync just popped up again! Maybe I need to reset too?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cgadrian:
Did you have a long wait for it? (i.e.: backordered?) They gave me the Imagio in store for the emergency upgrade from my Alltel TP, and called to have them switch to the TP2. Bad Verizon for not having any instore! :)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] segadc:
Nope I ordered online Sunday and got it Tuesday.

Couple weeks ago I was at a Verizon Store (a new one) and it was jut like Best Buy where none of the phones were on. They barely hadly any phones on display (no Droid, TP2, Imagio). I never buy in store but that was ridiculous.

edit: Active Sync is still popping up!
[HD2 General] alexnvidia:
i assume we can end all speculations now as to whether HD2 will receive Windows Mobile 7 Upgrade. here are the sources

http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=11753

Quote "Great news for current and future HTC HD2 owners! HTC has confirmed, via their official Russian twitter channel, that the HTC HD2 will be getting an official Windows Mobile 7 upgrade."

http://pocketnow.com/rumor/htc-confirms-that-hd2-gets-windows-mobile-7-on-twitter

Quote "We just got an interesting news tip pointing to the HTC Twitter account from Russia. The tweet mentions that the only HTC device currently on the market to receive a Windows Mobile 7 upgrade will be the HD2. And we've suspected this for a while, considering that the HD2 meets Microsoft's hardware requirements for Windows Mobile 7. Here's what they said:

for Diamond 2 firmware is not planned. Of the existing communicators on the market, only the HD2 firmware to get WM7."

http://msmobiles.com/news.php/8865.html

Quote "will HTC HD2 - the first Windows Mobile phone with multitouch - get official upgrade to Windows Mobile 7?

Yes, it will be announced shortly after Microsoft will announce Windows Mobile 7 to the public."

Article on msmobile what dumb idiot was compacting that!!
[HD2 General] zooklov:
Usefull or not ?

Windows mobile 7 will be released at the end of 2010. If i'm not wrong. So i guess most of HD2 users will be looking onto a brand sexiest new HTC device.
[HD2 General] youmeus:
!

I think the HD2 is powerful enough and sexy enough to be on the top even at the end of 2010.

Also, with the talented chefs in this site we will see the WM7 on our device long before it is officially released. To me thats a win win deal :)
[HD2 General] alexnvidia:
From what i see, the only limitation HD2 will face is the built in storage. most of us are already aware of the fact that the internal storage, though quoted 512MB from the specs, only 150MB+ is available to the end user, whereas WM7 specs require at least 1GB. the rest of the components are already ahead of time. the best android device in 2010 is only on par in terms of specs with HD2.
[HD2 General] young blade:
yep!! .. justlike it went with WM6.5:)
[HD2 General] NSider:
We can look forward to the first WM7 beta getting leaked in Q1 2009, way before the official release (a la WM6.5).

[HD2 General] DavidC1980:
With this particular spec issue, should we expect that memory limitation to cause problems for the ROM chefs attempting to port WM7 to the HD2 in 2010?
[HD2 General] thanas:
with the new custom roms its now close to 240 mb of free space
[HD2 General] maxnik1:
Awesome news, I am glad I didn't buy N900.
[HD2 General] DicEvsTytnII:
Probably not as we can assume that the HD2 will also be on the list of test (and demo) devices HTC will be distributing to their techs and testers.

Same goes for Microsoft, they'll need some kind of hardware to test their builds on. Sure they'll have test devices of the unreleased kind also but you can't really use those in public ;)

my point being, if the winmob 7 beta's start leaking, I expect them to be coming with full support for our HD2's since the beta will most likely be ripped off of one to start with.

my 2 cents

[HD2 General] NSider:
Heh, you know what I meant. :p
[HD2 General] tboy2000:
Maybe I am wrong but want is the point of having a new windows mobile 7 on our phone if we are just going to be use the excellent HTC Sense UI? Its like when titanium came out, the majority of chose to use Sense/TouchFlo as it was better in terms of eye candy and function. Windows mobile 7 will I guess have new menus and finger friendliness just like 6.5.3 but Sense will still cover up the majorty of Windows mobile 7 UI/OS. Do you get what I am trying to say here? :) I doubt it would be so amazing for me to disable Sense. I love Sense.
[HD2 General] rovex:
Even with Sense you still have more speed, better menus, potential for better more attractive apps and superior drivers (especially for GL, video, FPU support and 720P video etc). We will also likely get a full 16million colour screen since we know the hardware supports it.

Isnt WM7 supposed to require a certain level of driver support for certain things? If HTC give us a WM7 ROM surely they must improve the drivers to meet MS requirements.
[HD2 General] remotek:
Hi,

i was wondering if i can install the stock 1.48 ROM after i have installed a newer version, say 1.6x for exaple, is it possible to downgrade again?

same question fot a beta release of WM 7, can i go back to official stock ROM after having installed that?

Thanx.
[HD2 General] rovex:
Yes you can, its not like Symbian which refuses to allow a downgrade.
[HD2 General] freyberry:
The most important things are APIs and Silverlight. That will enable developers to create increadibly nice looking, easy to use and functional applications.

Currently, lots of APIs are missing (like compass, sensors...) and the built in UI controls in Visual Studio are still those ugly, small controls we've had for ten years. This will finally change with Windows Mobile 7 (though they could have changed a lot already in WM6.x).
[HD2 General] remotek:
thanx, and do u think WM7 Will come with a UI like "sense" ?
[HD2 General] [★]:
Correct me If Im wrong, but I thought that HTC said right at the start that the leo would be getting a free upgrade to winmo7 when it was available, I already knew that?
[HD2 General] freyberry:
No, there's nothing official from HTC.

(except for that twitter post, which is kinda official)
[HD2 General] rovex:
Well there is code in sense already that checks for WM7 so its possible that they will include it for an 'HTC feel'. Whether its really needed is another matter. The only thing i will say is that Sense and the registry on HTC phones contains a lot of redundant code, so we shouldnt read too much into the presence of that code.
[HD2 General] flunkyou2:
do we have to pay for the upgrade? i heard it was £15?
[HD2 General] Oberoth:
I Think it will be free...

I think for an 600€-device it has to be free (srry for € ^^ Im from Austria so i dont know whats the price in the UK)
[HD2 General] zaharakis:
i don't think that is a big cost ;) the mutter is when they are going to release them...:(
[HD2 General] htc12345:
on any moment mentioned it will probably be next quarter from then ;)
[HD2 General] Roguestar:
But the best part would be those places where you are still exposed to Windows mobile; the menus and settings panels and the relatively poor scaling of controls in smaller resolution programs, these will all presumably be tidied up in WM7.

Tweet removed by HTC guy..
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
All those dreams dashed again?
[HD2 General] ruscik:
For me most important with winmo7 will be gestures support. There will apparently be plenty of them just like in normal windows plenty of short cuts.

It is also apparently built in a smart way to reduce cost of devices. From early docs that leaked to net about it (last year) light sensor would not be needed as camera can pick-up the same data (light/no light). Proximity sensor will not be needed as front camera used for video calls can do that job. G-sensor will be utilised as control mechanism and much more cool stuff I seen there.

I can not wait for proper beta!!
[HD2 General] Ultimaex:
Microsoft will not allow custom homescreens in wimo 7. source: winfuture.de
[HD2 General] NSider:
Removing the tweet like that actually 100% confirms it.
[HD2 General] NSider:
I think this indicates that Sense will work on WM7.
[HD2 General] Emperor88:
This is great news!
[HD2 General] xma1e:
Not really, all it proves is Sense tries to check for it. Since there is no final code for WM7 yet, anything can happen and all is just speculation (yawn).

For example I had a few utilities that worked with early betas of Win7, when MS released the Win7 RC1, some of the utilities then failed to work without an update. At this stage of development, MS could decide (although very unlikely) to stop Sense from working.

Anyway, I too would be cheesed off if my Russian cousin spilled the beans before me. Slapped wrists for them....
[HD2 General] xma1e:
Why people are getting excited about this is beyond me. Do you really think no one on XDA-dev will not be porting this anyway?

I recently discovered my old WM5 based XDA Orbit had WM6.5 ported by the excellent guys here.
[HD2 General] Dutch-Leo:
I'm sorry but i don't see nothing official here.

A hTC tweeter message removed and all the other links are pointing/refering to the same gossip.

It would be great indeed but i'm betting my bottom dollar on an official release by HTC.

I guess it will be in the hands of the tweakers here at XDA.
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
If you want a really working ROM you'd need an official WM7 one for chefs here to use as a base. There are quite a few things changed in CE6, so you'll need new drivers and some low-level stuff like that. Those drivers need to come from a Snapdragon-powered device, and what would that device be? Right, the Leo. So to have custom WM7 ROMs you'll need an official WM7 ROM first.
[HD2 General] :
Precisely. It's not like the transition from 6.0 -> 6.5 where we already had drivers, etc. We'd have to actually port the drivers to the new kernel, which may not even be possible.
[HD2 General] [★]:
£500 ;)

But yeah, Im pretty sure its free
[HD2 General] freyberry:
You bought the device with WM6.5 and nobody promised you WM7 for the price you paid. So NO, you can't expect a free upgrade, even if you paid a million, because nobody promised it.

If HTC releases an update, then that's goodwill, nothing else. If they want you to pay for it, then you have to accept it and be happy that you get an upgrade at all.

I don't understand how people always expect things that nobody promised to them, just because they paid a lot of money. HTC never said there would be an upgrade, HTC never said that there would be 720p video playback etc. - you bought the device like that and you can expect it to work, but you can't expect anything that has never been advertised.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure it will be free. People would share it anyways.
[HD2 General] corepda:
May be snapdragon effect. Poor nothing for others who spent almost similar...
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
Back to square one again then...

At least when HTC announced Android 2.0 for HTC Hero via twitter, it wasn't deleted. Some food for thought.... :(
[HD2 General] freyberry:
But Android 2.0 was for sure, while HTC has to rely on MS for WM7 and I don't think they want to announce anything before they can be sure that MS delivers in time.
[HD2 General] mightymn:
Probably HTC aren't allowed to announce this before windows mobile 7 is announced, so they had to delete it. Let's keep fingers crossed
[HD2 General] audscott:
I hate to be a skeptic for something I dearly hope officially happens, however where is HTC's incentive to release WM 7? New phones, whether as good or better than the HD2 or not, but the Leo market will have, more or less, been saturated.

Of course, I have every confidence the fine chefs at XDA will create better than stock variations of WM 7 for Leo if it is humanly possible....and maybe even if it isn't. :D
[HD2 General] clubtech:
If HTC wants to stay competitive in a market where iPhones are constantly being upgraded to the latest version of the OS, Androids are also being upgraded to newer versions, then they must upgrade the HD2 to win7.

If they don't, i am done with HTC products and probably WinMo as well.

If the competitor OS's can take care of their consumers, so should WinMo and its OEM's.

I believe HTC will indeed upgrade the HD2. I cant find a link but there was an article a few months back about how HTC is planning to make LESS devices in 2010 and concentrate on the devices it DOES make.

Which means they will be concentrating on software for the devices more than making more and more types of hardware. the might lead to a shift in HTC's strategy to be more in line with its competitors.

It is true they never promised upgrading the HD2 because they cant promise to upgrade you to something that is not out yet, but i am pretty sure they will as today's market is all about winning the customers and keeping them happy. if you don't, they will move to something else.
