[HD2 General] Archer:
File explorer will not let you copy/move certain files, but Total Commander, or Resco Explorer will. Just get the latest version, and don't worry about the processor. They run on Windows - they don't care about the processor.

If you install theme/visual changes, there's no hard-and-fast rule about what to do to replace the changes. Some of them you can uninstall and it restores the original look. Others don't. You can usually just install a new change over a previous one, but not always. You're gonna have to just find out through trial and error, or by asking, when you have specific questions to ask.

I wasn't being dismissive earlier - there's just no straight forward answer to such ambiguous questions.

Enjoy your new phone mate. I've had mine for 6 weeks now and I still love it like it was new yesterday! :)
[HD2 General] DexyG:
Uhh... yes it does. Menu -> Edit -> Copy/Cut/Paste/Paste Shortcut. I've got Total Commander but I only really ever use it for registry tweaks.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Uhh... just because the options are there doesn't mean they work for every file. As you quoted me saying, "File explorer will not let you copy/move certain files" (certain files, not all files).

Thanks :)
[HD2 General] johnkst:
Uhh... You're both right!

File Explorer will NOT let you copy/move/delete certain files

However it WILL let you copy/move/delete certain files

The key is the words 'certain files'. The 'certain files' John C is referring to are, for example, most of the files stored in the Windows folder and these tend to be exactly the ones we want to delete or rename. You WILL need one of the above-mentioned apps to mess around with them.

File Explorer is fine if you're only manipulating non-System files.
[HD2 General] Archer:
I was only explaining that I wasn't wrong - he'd misread my statement. Obviously if it doesn't work for certain files then it does work for the rest. The context of the question suggests that the OP needed that explaining to him, or he'd only come back later and say "I can't copy this manila file into the windows folder", and we'd have to explain it to him then!

Bottom line, we're all right, and we're all trying to give the OP a concise answer (which I think he's got now) ;)
[HD2 General] DexyG:
Ah ok, my bad. Sorry. :)
[HD2 General] johnkst:
Ahhh... That's nice...

Now we're all friends again, to come back to the OP's original question, I'm with John C on this. Take your time, get to know your phone and decide what you REALLY need first.

IMHO, the only thing you should install from the start is the BSB Tweaks cab (Just search the Leo forum for latest version - I think it's in a sticky somewhere). This will save you having to install a Registry Editor and installing a lot of these tweaks manually. It also makes it a lot easier to switch the tweaks on and off.

There are also some HTC updates now available (for Camera, SMS and SD Card). They have been out for a few days now and I haven't seen too many complaints, so I would say they are all safe to install...

Finally... ROM updates...

There are a couple now available from HTC. But again, unless you're experiencing a problem which you know has been fixed by these new ROMs, I would leave them alone. I've still got the original O2 ROM in my HD2 and it's working perfectly well, so I've not bothered to upgrade just yet.

All of the above is just my personal opinion. Hope you find it useful...

By the way, if you find BSB Tweaks (or any other cab that someone has invested time and effort into creating) useful, you might want to think about making a small donation. A $5 PayPal transaction is easily made, costs about the price of a pint (in the UK) and really makes these guys (and gals) faces light up!
[HD2 General] saldawop:
Wont be updating the ROM. TBH I dont even know if I will be keeping the phone. I am an iPhone owner :D.
[HD2 General] johnkst:
Now you tell us...! ;-)
[HD2 General] thetechnogeek:
Just before we all get tarred with the same brush, I'm also an iPhone owner, and will be keeping my ROM-upgraded HD2 and selling my 3GS ;-)
[HD2 General] saldawop:
Got my HD2.Although Im liking(not loving) it ,there are a couple ofthings I dont like.

1) I sometimes wake up to 30+ spam emails.Do I really have to open each one and delete them individually?(havent had the phone 24 hours so happy to be proved wrong)

2) I dislike the fact that when I delete an email from the phone, it deletes from the server

3)Dont like having to mess about opening different video players depending on codec (BUT it does play different codecs so cant really complain I guess)

4) This is probably down to not having too much time to play, but how do I get the screen to turn off? Is there a setting somewhere I can turn it off after x amount of time.Or do I HAVE to press the power button?

5) Oh, and the Alarm!!! Is it possibly the worst alarm on a mobile phone ever?

Im not the heaviest of sleepers but there is a strong possibility that I would miss the 2 second alarm.
[HD2 General] jrrigney:
1) You can click on "Inbox" then Menu->Select Messages->Several, Choose the messages you want to mark as read then Menu->Mark as read/delete

2) I kindof makes sence to delete the email - keep the two in sync or is that only my perception on things :confused:

3) Try use one codec possibly, I'm certain there are different players out there with the ability to play a wider range its just a case of looking (sorry i don't really use my phone for music/multiple video formats)

4) Yes there is a setting settings->sound and display->backlight

5)Agreed it is rubbish :eek: I've tried G alarm because everyone seems to rave about it but i wasn't too keen but you could still try it and it does do the alarm sound for longer than 2 rings
[HD2 General] saldawop:
Thanks for that Strange though because the screen is set to switch off after 1 minute. It doesn't! Was still on when I woke up this morning
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] byakkotai:
Hi, I'm just creating my gold card to downgrade the Hero to be rootable but I wanted to know whether or not the Gold card needs to remain in the Hero once I have installed a custom ROM?

I have a 2gb one already which should do for the Gold card but I want to use my 8gb one for media and stuff.

Thanks again
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] OGC313:
Once you have installed the RUU and downgraded successfully you no longer need the Goldcard, its only used to bypass the CID check :)

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] t3rm3y:
Howdy, i am looking for a way to add more button assignments in the list, currently i only have the call button, when held down it rotates screen, doesnt seem to be a method to add more thinghs, like hold down back key, home key and volume keys?

(end key brings up some menu for putting phone in plane mode etc (not really useful as can do that in comms manager / turn off phone on a plane. so changing that to a better assigment would also be neat cheers.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] vimafeje:
hello all.

using this post:

is it possible to assign other functions to the button off volume control?

for example: scrool up/down?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] goldsfool:
There are many programs out there that address this. Search for button mapper, assign button, remap, etc.

Some obvious ones are AEButton Plus, MobileMagic...
[HD2 General] kensong:
Is it just me or do any of you noticed how vague the descriptions for the camera, sd card and sms fix are? I mean there is nothing specific about what exactly is fixed. As an example:

Update for HTC HD2 SD Card Storage Capacity

This update for HTC HD2 further extends support of the SD Storage Capability. Taking pictures with your 5 Megapixel lens and dual LED flash can only truly be appreciated at the maximum quality, and now with this update, you will be able to appreciate how much more you can store in your 8GB or more SD Card.

What does that mean? More efficient compression of photos, or support for bigger cards eg 32GB? I tested before and after shots and do not see a decrease in files sizes of photos taken so your guess is as good as mine.

Then this:

Update for HTC HD2 – SMS Function Update

This update for HTC HD2 messaging lets you reach out to your friends and family with instant notifications. Keeping in touch has always been very important, and this update delivers just that: fast and reliable SMS messaging.

Is it a fix for the stuck sms in outbox? Again it does not state exactly what was fixed. Is it because HTC does not want to admit to bugs? Then why do we need these updates?

I prefer straight-to-the-point logs of what exactly these update does. I would have skipped the sms update if I knew it only fixes the stuck sms as I do not have that problem so why fix something that is not broken.

Maybe I am not brilliant enough to read what's on HTC's mind with these vague updates. Quietly Brilliant indeed.
[HD2 General] kivine:
any complaints/hatred , please direct to HTC .

There are relevent threads in this forum if you need to garner more info
[HD2 General] iphoneresister:
I am SO with you on this. Very annoying!

Release notes? In general, a proper description of a bug fix should not require use of drivel like "keeping in touch has always been very important" - nor is it written by the marketing department.

EDIT: You'll be happy to know HTC just posted a new fix for the calendar view (though the download link is currently broken). Another meaningful description!

I have some theories on what it might fix, but you'll get no clues from the description...
[HD2 General] Fatherboard:
Ahhh... The great "everything is good, even if some things are terrible" methodology of HTC.
[HD2 General] cortk:
I'm starting to think that they take one week to write the actual bug fix, and two weeks to write the description that goes along with it.
[HD2 General] Bence:
Link for calendar view doesnt work for me...when I press download new site opens saying that the page doesnt exist...
[HD2 General] Lurchy24:
Not so sure about how quietly brilliant the "fixes" are.

SMS fix: Removes auto-lock and some email capability

Camera fix: Causes phone to freeze

Perhaps there is something wrong with my phone. I'm using the most up-to-date HTC rom as well.
[HD2 General] iphoneresister:
You got the exact same "Page not found..." error earlier this month when HTC first listed the 1.48 ROM on the downloads page for the HD2. The download was listed a day or two before the actual file was available...
[HD2 General] Karlos G:
Not on the HTC website any more, and neither is the 1.48 ROM?!

http://www.htc.com/www/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=297&act=sd&cat=all

EDIT: Was looking at the worldwide site not the Europe site, sorry!!
[HD2 General] kensong:
No hatred. Just wanted to see if I am alone in feeling that HTC is being vague with their fixes and I have directed this to HTC so I will feedback to the forum if there are any response from them.

As for getting more info from this forum, I think it would not have been necessary if HTC had made clear what was exactly fixed, because this forum can only provide educated guesses on what HTC did with the updates. Nothing like hearing it from the horses mouth.
[HD2 General] kensong:
It is still there if you follow the link in Post #3. I just downloaded it and it says this is applicable for ALL Roms. I wonder why it was removed from the main site. This is exactly what I mean. The Read Me is so vague I am wondering if I should apply the patch and since it was removed, are ther problems with it... hmmm.
[HD2 General] sharpey:
after the SD update my i can now store 9862, before it was 5028
[HD2 General] _tangent:
Yeah i've made this point in other threads elsewhere in the forum. The hotfix descriptions are infuriating. HTC should be explicit about what the fix is supposed to actually fix. Otherwise, how is the user-base supposed to assess the effectiveness of the patch? Descriptions for these updates should not be written like sales pitches; we've already bought the device! They should be written in a functional, technical way, detailing precisely what has changed. I actually find this issue far more frustrating than the bugs themselves. It's patronising to customers, and unprofessional.
[HD2 General] jules_ht:
It seems to have fixed the capitalisation issue. What it has not done is addressed the facts that (1) it won't let you start typing until it's loaded all the messages between you and that person which takes ages if you have more than about 20 messages between you, and (2) that it randomly goes over to number mode completely unprompted and the only way to type letters is to go landscape full QWERTY.

They could do with sorting this out.
[General Questions and Answers] cBorisa:
I'm on Kaiser device with WM6.5 ROM. Since I use a PIN to lock my device, I'm really confused with the way I have to type in the device PIN when unlocking the device in WM6.5. With new HTC devices like Diamond2 or TouchPro2 there is a nice unlock screen (with big buttons and one unlock button at the bottom). Does anyone know how to port it for QVGA device like Kaiser?

[HD2 General] tomdel:
I had this and it turned out that if you have any mp3s with an id3 tag that contains a genre with a brackets in it the whole phone will crash. so just a thought..

yes its unbelievable but true, it took me hours to find the issue.

http://www.htcforums.com/hd2-leo-f42/brackets-genre-crash-htc-music-manager-t3860.html
[HD2 General] Savva06:
would that cause my phone to be ultra slow, stop the start window from opening? i hav had the music on there for a while and it has never happend before
[HD2 General] tomdel:
ok well if you have a look at the thread i posted you will notice that i mention that the little busy circle icon thing in music app does not disapear.

check if its there, if so it is screwing up the phone and you need to remove brackets from genres.

sounds like it isnt that though so I cant help otherwise, you will have to provide more info for the experts here to help.. stuff like when I restart its fine.. I am running x,y,z programs at startup.

goodluck

As the title says, I just wanna unload this and then I'll feel better.

I'm SICK of people saying "my phone doesn't do the exact thing I want. What do I change in the registry to fix this?" I swear, some people think that there's a setting for everything that's just disabled in the registry. I know there's newbs and noobs, and I do like to help as much as I can, but there just seems like a sudden influx of people who aren't interested in reading any threads that they didn't start themselves!!!

To be fair a proportion of noobs seem to have come from the Iphone, where their world is protected and everything is safe, to windows mobile which is an entirely different proposition. Unless you realise up front that you have to put in some work to tune your device then I guess we will continue to get these "registry" questions.

I also guess that's where some (not me) might claim that winmobile devices are not quite as noob/mr & mrs average friendly as other devices.

Anyway glad you got that load off your chest. :)

PS: The way I see it the more we help these iphone (and others) converts and the more they get good use out of their devices, the more they will spread the word that winmobile is where its at and is a good place to be. Ooh I feel all evangelical and spiritual now..:)

[HD2 General] arxx:
The vibrator in HD2 is so strong, that i prefer to not use it. HTC has this neat setting, to increase the ringing volume when the phone is in pocket/bag mode. But it would be great if it also turned on the vibrator when in this mode?

I don't know, I'm not a developer, but to me it does seem like a usefull function, and it might not be to hard to tweak?
[HD2 General] sakiin:
You can configure under sound and notifications to:

1. Vibrate and ring

2. Vibrate then ring

So not sure what tweak you are looking for.
[HD2 General] arxx:
Hi, I'm aware of this, thanks :)

The thing i'm wondering about, is the ability that the phone only vibrates when in pocket mode, not when its on a table

this setting (i "paint translated" the setting im talking about :)
[HD2 General] firiel:
that would be great, if possible +1
[HD2 General] loomx:
Yeh, would be very good! hopefully someone will be able to help :)
[HD2 General] sebacu:
But you can just turn on and off the vibration. Make a kind of shortcut for this.

Cheers,

Seba
[HD2 General] arxx:
sure :) but since there's a setting to make ringones louder when in a pocket, it would be nice with vibr. as well. really jest need vibr. when the phone is in my pocket annyway ;)
[HD2 General] NiksonCG:
I also think that vibrate in pocket mode would be a nice feature...
[HD2 General] lukedom89:
I agree that the function is needed - the only time I want it to vibrate is when its in my pocket. Would also be good to have other pocket mode functions such as buttons being disabled.
[HD2 General] NiksonCG:
For this, currently you can use some 3rd party application like S2U2 or PocketShield.
[HD2 General] lukedom89:
Good suggestion - i've used s2u2 for the last year on my TyTN II and think it's a great program. Still doesn't get round the issue of pocket mode vibration.
[HD2 General] djngal:
guys my Leo DOES vibrate when in pocket mode! It did from day 1 thats what pocket mode is supposed to do.. loud ringtone + vibration..

i've noticed though that sometimes it doesnt always detect the "pocket mode" for me, i know when its ringing in pocket mode, because it doesnt quiet the ringtone upon movement (which is also right coz if it did while u were walking then u might never know about that call u just recieved) ;)
[HD2 General] lukedom89:
You're absolutely right! It does vibrate in pocket mode - HTC have thought about it all!! Does the screen have to be facing you to activate pocket mode? I presume it's the proximity sensor that detects it..maybe with a mix of ambient light sensor?
[HD2 General] djngal:
i thought the same but if that was the case shouldnt it detect pocket mode when inside htc's leather pouch?? coz mine doesnt! it only detects pocket mode when its actually in a pocket although its pouch in a way creates the same environment... i know the phone cant be THAT clever! so i pressume that sometimes even if the slightest of light is captured by the light sensor makes the phone go off the pocket mode... :)
[HD2 General] arxx:
Hmm, after some testing, yes i't does vibrate, it didnt before, but i've updated to the official 1.48 ROM.

On my phone it vibrates when the gsensor detects movements before it rings, so it doesn't have anything to do with lightning (on my phone)

now, if i only could use the HD2 to send SMS messages (witch is often stuck in the outbox) i could put away my Nokia phone, and only use HD2 :D
[HD2 General] lukedom89:
I haven't updated the ROM - I'm on 1.43 and pocket mode vibrates. I've also found that if I cover the light/proximity sensor when the phone is called it will activate pocket mode even when the phone is still.

Surely there must be some documentation on how this thing works!
