Hello all

Brand new to the board.

Sorry if this is the wrong form for this as I think this may be more a WM question but I just got my first smartphone a TP2 having come off an old MotorolaV60s and I’m having one heck of a time getting this user interface thing down.

I’m pretty savvy with PCs but this thing where I have to use my thumb or what ever to move around the screen as well as activate something on it is a major pain.

Basically I want to move through lets say my contacts list to call someone but as try to move the screen though the many that are there to get to the one I want, I keep ending up activate one way before that and it goes to that one, so then I have to back out and then start all over.

Some times it takes me quite awhile of accidental activations before I finally can get to the one I want.

It’s very tricky and very very annoying!

In regards to this I have a few noob questions.

Does this thing work on a timing thing, in other words, does the length of time I hold it get it going or is something else.

If it is a length of time thing, can I hack it some how?

In other words, I don’t want to slow down how the flow works or how sensitive anything is, just how long it will take to activate something so that if it were longer, while I’m moving things around there would be less chance that I might accidentally activate something unless I really mean too?

Also are there any really great public forms for just the Windows Mobile program that would be better for stuff like this, I’m sure this one is great but I was just wondering if there were any really dedicated to WM alone ones out there.

Thanks for any help.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jad011:
when i sign the update.zip i get everything in the meta-inf folder except for the com folder with the update-script in it, causing it not to flash.

anyone know whats up?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
so you delete everything in the meta-inf folder (except for the com dir), you sign it and nothing changes?

Delete double post

Welcome to forums

Please respect the rules, do not double post

Wait with patience till someone answer your question:eek:

Yeah sorry bout that, thought I was editing and some how made a second post. Then couldn't find a way to delete.
[HD2 General] keith0r:
I've searched the forums all day and there doesnt seem to be an answer, basically when i turned on my HD2 today it would not load Sense on startup, it keeps trying then eventually comes up with "Unable to start HTC Sense, tap here to try again" i've tried that about 30 times and still nothing! anyone have any ideas of how to get it to start? (checked my startup folder and there isnt much there) :confused:
[HD2 General] tictac0566:
I had this once, after installing and uninstalling a mod which fu**ed up the system (don´t remember which one). Only a hard reset could cure, but then again, maybe a much more experienced WinMo user could have solved it better...
[HD2 General] RichardC:
I had a similar problem where I would re-start my HD2 and it would get to the screen where it loads Sense then it would re-boot. This would keep going round in cicles until I removed the battery.

It turned out to be MobiReg 1.11. I had to do a hard reset and not re-install this app.

I hope this helps.
[HD2 General] jmedved:
Hi, I am author of that application and I must confess that this is first news that my application can cause this. If you are in mood for debugging, I would like to verify that issue and to discover root cause of this behavior.
[HD2 General] Nemesis1278:
I ran into the same problem with my HD2 with this app. Although mobireg did install and run for a while just fine on it for a while. So I think the cause of it was another program which I had installed. It was more for an older windows mobile version and I don't think it was for sense either. I don't recall the name of it but after I installed that my HD2 started to restart over and over. And after I wiped it clean it would still restart over and over whenever I had reinstalled mobireg.
[HD2 General] Texas01:
If you have CHT, try reinstalling it. Has worked for myself and others.
[HD2 General] fulltank:
I second it...It worked for me..
[HD2 General] cheerfultammy82:
I'm having the same problem I've checked and unchecked HTC sense, re-booted, removed battery, re-installed CHT and still nothing is working. I go from one problem to another with this phone and i'm no computer wizard but a phone shouldn't be this much hard work.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
If you've tried all the possible solutions in this thread and had no luck then Im afraid its hard reset time...

Any recent installs or did it come out of nowhere? (CHT / sense mods??)

edit, just noticed your cht comment.

Try installing a different version of cht.....(older or newer depending on which one you used last)

Long shot but you never know.....

Also try logging out of HTC peep and disabling the twitter tab from "settings - personalise - sense tabs"

just in case that up to its old tricks.........
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] IMissPalmOS:
Merry Christmas all!

I'm not exactly a newbie when it comes to Windows Mobile or flashing ROMS, but thus far I have stuck to "official" versions. Now I'm looking to get into some of the custom ROMS I keep reading about.

I hope I don't offend anyone by saying this, but the ROM development forum is a confusing disorganized mess for someone like me who is just catching up now. The WIKI led me to a link (that hasn't been updated since September) where it looks like someone started to organize everything, but apparently gave up.

Is there a current list somewhere of all the different ROMS available, what OS version they are based on, and a short description of them?

Thanks for any help!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ruinertt:
Long story short:

This specific forum (the current one that you posted your thread in) is for various GSM ROMs that include WM 6.5 and WM 6.5.x. Basically, you can tell a good bit by reading the title of the threads, but clicking on the thread will give you more insight as to what apps and customization are included.

Also note:

Windows Mobile 21xxx = Windows Mobile 6.5

Windows Mobile 28xxx = Windows Mobile 6.5.x (x=1, 2, 3, etc)

For example, if you look at this thread's title:

|R|6.5.3|WWE| ★ EnergyROM "Leo" 28014/21885 |Dec 17| ★ Sense 2.5/ MaxManila /Dusk

|R|6.5.3|ROM|WWE| ★ EnergyROM "Phoenix 2" 28014/21885 ★Dec 17★ Sense 2.1/Titanium ★

You will see that there is a Windows Mobile 6.5 version (21885) and a Windows Mobile 6.5.3 version (28014). You can also see Sense 2.5 and 2.1 named (Sense 2.5 is the newer Touch Flo 3D interface used on the HD2). Sense 2.1 is what you probably use now and it is more stable. Sense 2.5 still has a little ways to go (screen rotation being one of them). Many ROMs include downloads that include one or both sense versions (2.1 or 2.5).

If you click on the threads, you'll get more info as can be seen below:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
I agree with you, and I found it very very confusing at first when I came here. However, over a short period of time I could start to see what the more popular ROMs were (based on the number of people giving feedback about them etc), and started to get an idea on what they were about based on reading the latest replies (most of the threads are way too big to read all the way through !);

I don't think so, but the previous reply has given some useful tips. Normally in the first few posts for each ROM you'll find some sort of basic description and screenshots. Don't be afraid to just jump into the water and start flashing though, you can easily change which ROM you're running if you don't like it. Stick to 6.5 (not 6.5.3) and Manila/Sense 2.1 if you want to stay with the "safer" (most stable) options initially.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ai6908:
Keep reading! Keep flashing!!! Good luck.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] joshkoss:
yep +1.

no reason for a new thread on this man... flash till you find whats good for you.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bob Simons:
I've had three Fuzes all of which have developed a reddish/greenish pattern appear in a perfectly rectangular pattern within the VGA window. It's most apparent with the display off, heldf at an angle. I usally carry the phone in a pants pocket, screen inward to protect it. The only thing I can think of is body heat? I returned one phone because of this, thinking it might be a sign of impending failure. The second phone broke and it had this pattern by then and the replacement, about four months old now is doing it too.

I could show a picture but if you've seen it, you'll know what I mean.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] m0nkeyf00t:
we do know what you mean...its posted alot its a screen defect with his phone flash back to stock and send back for warrenty replacement...im on secend refurb now just got mine switched out again a week ago thats proff even some refurbs are defective we'll see in 90 days if the screen holds(thats how much warrenty ivegot left :P)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bob Simons:
I haven't come across any other phone that does this

is it limited to the VGA screens in general, the TPs in particular, or what? Do you think it's heat, use or something else?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Rudegar:
it's called newton ring and is not heat but too much pressure related

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_rings

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=591292

and it happens to a lot of resistance touch screen devices

but rapheal and diamond seem to suffer more then most
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bob Simons:
thanks for the newton ring info

so I guess I need a case so I don't put pressure on the screen when it's in a pocket.

Hi,

I would love to make a photo, but just have the HD2 here as camera and cannot take a shot of its own back :D

Anyone has an idea what can be connected to the 3pin hole in the back? If you open the back cover you see this between the microsd card slot and the sim slot, a little bit left unter the battery.

Thanx! :)

Those contacts fit the HTC car kit.

[General Questions and Answers] tal82k:
I saw a post recently on craigslist for a sim card on T-Mobile that would allow its user to have free 3G data forever. He was offering it for $75. I tried to do my research using my friend, Google, but I found no way of hacking that would allow this. Thinking it might be a scam, I tried to look into it, and asked him about it. He said it was legal, but would not answer any questions about how it works.

I thought, 'If it works, then that is a very cheap price for free 3G forever. If it does not work, it was worth the risk, and I will tell everyone I know that such a thing is impossible.' So here I am.

But it works. He gave me a sim card, I put it in my cyanogenmod-ed G1, and immediately a txt came up. It said, "Your account has been disabled." He said that I could just delete that. I turned on 3G (I had previously been using ATT), and lo and behold, I had free 3G data service!

It has been about a week, and it works great. So, here are my questions:

How does the magic work?

This card does not have a voice plan associated with it. Is it possible to use a dual sim adapter to have my ATT sim for voice and my T-Mobile magic sim for data?

This can't be legal, right?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g189ffin:
Hey guys,

I'm very new to android and roms. I would like to know if I could use any ROM mentioned on http://db.androidspin.com/android_build_information.asp for my HTC Hero running Cupcake with the Amon Ra 1.2.3 Recovery Image? Also what is the difference between 32A and 32B ROMs. Please could someone enlighten me as I've tried looking for this information for a long time and I have been unsuccessful.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codelockdown:
i believe 32A is the GSM version(Euro, the orriginal Hero), and 32B is the CDMA version(Sprint)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gu1dry:
No 32A & 32B refer to two different versions of the HTC Magic. The 32A has a Qualcomm MSM7200A ARM11 processor, 288 MB RAM, and HTC software additions such as Exchange support, PDF Viewer, and QuickOffice, while the 32B has a Qualcomm MSM7201A ARM11 processor, 192MB RAM and "Google" branding.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g189ffin:
Ahh So 32A ROMs would work on the HTC Hero but what about all the other 32A ROMs mentioned on the http://db.androidspin.com/android_build_information.asp?

Many Thanks for your help! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gu1dry:
No, none of the 32A ROMs will work on the Hero, they are for the 32A version of the Magic.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
Maybe we can start a sticky thread about applications that are not working right on the Eris. I don't mean apps that are designed for another version of Android, just apps that don't work for one reason or another(this could include apps that keep force closing).
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] rigamrts:
Pandora can cause your phone to reset your phone then cause major force closes which require a factory reset to fix. It's not every time but it happens to me
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] zifnab06:
PDANet force closes alot. And, brings my laptops internet with it. Sad days.

Grooveshark has the habit of not downloading music to play while on mobile network. It will try, fail, and wait for you to pause and play it again.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] tdavis42:
I had an odd problem the other day: when I rotated my phone to landscape the screen would fade to black as it was being rotated. Found this out by trying to use camera and had to do a factory reset in the options menu. Big pain in the ASS. Never had so many problems with my G1 or MT3G. Come-on HTC get the Eris together, this is not the only problem I have had either.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
Iheartradio once in a while force closes. Also, not sure if this is an issue of the Eris(due to 3G connection issue not fully fixed), or an issue of the software, but certain stations cause my Eris to freeze a second and the won't work(I never been able to connect to a few stations).
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] tats_06:
For me it was Task Panel. After I did the manual update, every time I exited task panel, I got stuck on HTC screen for a while. I had HTC sense, HTC touch input, and thing needing to run on Ignore list, so I know they were not killed by task panel. Finally I deleted it and am fine....although am itchin to keep checking my memory :D
[Touch HD General] barisahmet:
So many ppl saying that HD is slow when compared IPhone. No. HD is faster than IPhone even it has double resolution.

First, watch my video. (I have recorded it with a bad webcam, so its not so smooth sometimes and blurry, sorry for that).

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xbn1vm_my-touch-hd-running-lots-of-apps-sa_tech

You can see I am running these apps at the same time;

- MSN Live Messenger (connected)

- Facebook App (connected)

- Opera Mini (via JBed)

- MySpace (Connected)

- SongLoader (Downloading 1 song)

- MediaPlayer (Playing 192Kbps MP3 File, It has some glitches since I cant adjust buffer)

- PocketPlayer (Playing 128Kbps through Wi-Fi, full buffered, so no glitches in sound, smooth)

- CorePlayer (Playing 320x240 25FPS MP4 file with 44100hz 2channel sound WITHOUT SLOWDOWN)

* There is active background services like G-Trigger, GPSModDriver.

* Manila is still smooth while running all those applications at the same time.

Conclusion: HD is maybe twice or more faster than IPhone when you configure your windows well. I dont know why ppl choosing winmo 6.5.. I tried it with every custom ROM, manila was freezing while listening to simple MP3..

If you like it, here is my configration:

- HTC Touch HD without any overclock installed Topix 3.1.2 (WinMo 6.1).

- Installed Neos drivers V3 first, then Xperia X2 Drivers on it. And Graphics Booster 1.2.

- I am using custom priority management (Using SpeedBooster). Most important thing is this. Since speedbooster is not free, you can use sktools (I didnt try it, but heard that it can do priority management).

- Manila.exe and gwes.exe %80 priority. Other apps %60 (Players, browsers, etc.). You can set jbed.exe (Java emulator) %80 too for smoother experience, since it's pausing any running threads when you minimized it. And you must adjust players buffer sizes as much as possible (when you use manila or other %80 prioritied application, your ppc can't process mp3 as fast as playing, in this case it plays from buffer. If you keep doing things in manila, sound will stop when buffered part is played.). So you must adjust these things for yourself, depending on your needings.

Thanks to kwbr for this nice and smooth rom.

This is not for noobs, if you dont know what are you doing, then please dont. You may get your ppc unstable/freeze.

I would appreciate it if you could place the links of the used appz, rom and tools.

so people can be sure they're downloading/ installing the correct links and the updated ones.

I wanted to ask you one more question, how long does your battery last ?

because i have to charge my phone every night even if i didn't use it a lot!

(i almost forgot to say that my HD has a standby time of 32 hours is that normal ?)

THAANK YOU!

[Touch HD General] barisahmet:
Of course, I would attach files when I back (I am in another country right now, so I can't access my PC). But I am sure that you can find them by searching forum :)

"neos2007 driverpack 3"

"gfx booster 1.2"

"teksoft speedbooster 2.0.010" (not free)

and, already given xperia x2 drivers.

About battery, since I use topix wm 6.1, it lasts longer (like about 2, 2.5 days). And those programs or drivers didn't affected the battery life so much, it's almost the same.
[Touch HD General] anoniem:
THAAANXZ

I love your fast reply you're really my hero!!

I'll try searching, but im still waiting for the links ;) :P

BTW:

i think youre still using the Topix 3.1.2 rom?

and which radio /rom version do you have
[Touch HD General] Yules:
Thanks for your useful advices, mr barisahmet:

I have installed "NeoS2007_Driverpack_3.cab", reboot after installation, then have installed "X2 Video Driver.cab" and after the required reboot my HD freezees on the boot screen. I have do a reset and dont boot, then remove the battery, and also dont boot. Now I have a beautiful "Blackstone paperweight".

Have you forgot any steep? Well, to late for me.
[Touch HD General] band27:
Before doing all this, did you have Hard SPL 1.56 installed?
[Touch HD General] barisahmet:
I havent experienced that before since I used always that combination with every rom. You maybe using stock rom? No I explained all steps. I will edit post as "not for noobs", sorry for late edit.

Though drivers and/or radio is not important part. I get almost same results with original drivers and radio. Important part is, well adjusted priorities.

Yes, fastest rom ever is Topix 3.1.2. And my radio version is .17 .
[Touch HD General] Yules:
Yes, I have Hard SPL 1.56 installed with the 1.56 stock ROM decert and 1.17.25.09 radio. Now I have flashed with a custom 6.50 ROM.

Anyway, I don't know how you call "not for noobs" a procedure that consist on install some cabs. I have do many tricks with my phones since my first Qtek 8080 on 2004, including flashing, registry tricks, etc... and I never have freezed a machine before.

I think that if someone follow your steps and freezes the machine, you have forgot some previous requeriment previously included in the customization of your ROM. You must recommend this procedure only for people with your same ROM or identify what is the previous steep necessary and include the steps to do it manually.

At last, sorry for my english. ;-)
[Touch HD General] barisahmet:
Topix 3.1.2 is a custom ROM.
