[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
Is there an app or even a script that can be ran that will block all forms of communications (sms, mms, call, voicemail, everything) from a particular number?

There is someone bugging the crap out of me, and I would imagine with a rooted phone, that there is a way to block a number.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
just call tmobile and have that number blocked. problem solved. I have done it before.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
They told me they can't. Should I just hound them about it and get "in their face" about it?

At least he didn't brick a brand new phone 5 minutes after he got it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
pshhh i think your giving him too much credit.....I mean what has he really done? Made a theme? A ROM? nooooob :P

EDIT: If you gave them your Google Voice number, you can block them by marking that number as spam.

You can use your phone to block that number on your blacklist. Its located in Settings>Call Settings>Blacklist (on cyan)

Just enter the number (its a specific format, test with another number first) and set it to disconnect. Don't know how to block numbers from SMS through android just yet

SPC

Super Private Conversation on the market works for me, still allows voicemail, but will block the calls and SMS.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
thank you, i will look into it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noodles2224:
The reason t-mobile said they cant is probably because you have a regular plan without Family Allowance in it, which allows you to block any number you want by signing in at t-mobile.com or you have Even More Plus Plan, which Family Allowance CANT be added.. :)

Okay I am very new to this phone got it yesterday The HTC Touch Diamond 2 and i have a couple questions please respond to them if you know anything:

1. What is Topaz?

2. I have WM 6.5 (I checked) and how do I get Manilla 2.5 or what ever it is called that lets be have 3 icons at the bottom of the today screen?

3. Can i change the theme? (I tried the themes already in the phone but that just changes the background of the programs page and a couple others and not the slidey thing.

4. Why are my icons at the bottom slide thing coloured and different from the black and white icons in some pictures of the phone?

Yes I am sorry for being a noob I did read stickies and am still lost somewhat and I just needed some help clearing this up. If you can can help please do.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil750:
1. Topaz is a codename for the HTC Touch Diamond 2.

2. You're going to have to flash a custom ROM. Here's a good place to start.

3. Short answer: Yes. But give custom ROMs a shot first.

4. ROMs vary. And so the way icons look varies. And on cooked ROMs, they greatly vary.

Hope that helps!

Diamond 2 VS 9550

Hi guys

My wife bought an unlocked diamond 2 as new year present for me . I haven't broken the seal yet as i am not sure if this is the right gadget for me .

I was planing to buy a 9550 storm 2 ;Would you please make a comparison between these two gadgets ?

After reading a few reviews i am disappointed with virtual keyboard and the lack of 3.5mm jack . have you had any serious issue with this device ?

Should i keep it or go for storm 2 ?(as I'm a mac user and I guess I will have some issues with active sync and flashing ,I am listening to a lot of music too so lack of 3.5 mm is a great deal for me ) .

I really don't know what to do any suggestion is welcomed .
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sualc:
@ oldarash:

Hi, I quickly read the Storm 2 sheet because i'm ignorant about Blackberries. My first impression is that Storm2 is intended for professional use, in a few words:a valuable and reliable work tool, does few things but in the right way. Topaz,on the other hand, covers a wider range of application fields such as multimedia,gps navigation,internet (real internet,not blackberry network)..it's a less "serious" phone, a nice toy. Being Windows Mobile-based, it is highly customizable (as you can see in this forum:D) but also may have some bugs, that are often promptly patched by XDA specialist-members. Reading around in this forum one may have the impression that thare are many,too many issues..but sometimes problems come when you want to do more, to experience new things. On paper, Diamond2 has better hardware resources, but it's not enough to tell it's "better" than Storm2, it depends on the use you make of the device.

Note1: 3.5mm jack can be used with an adapter, as a workaround. If you are a heavy mp3 user, you should take in consideration battery lifetime: Diamond2's is really not that brilliant.

Note2: Watch out! Looks like Storm2 has a virtual keyboard aswell.

Hallo,

i bought yesterday a htc saphire and installed the cyanogen mod

everything works quite perfect, except that when i boot the device everytime Programs like "e-mail, Calendar, Clock, Gmail, MP3 Download" start automatically and i get an " android.process.acore don't react" error

has anybody an idea how to control this things?...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] raduque:
Those programs are designed to start on boot to check for changes, example "email" and "Gmail" start to check for new emails, Calander to sync your agenda and so forth. You should check the settings of each program and see if there's a way to stop them from syncing.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tactic3:
ok thanks

is there any way to delete these programs? i have never used "gmail" or "mp3 downloads" and i'am sure that i will never use this service....
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] raduque:
You should be able to remove them like any other app using "Settings:Applications:Manage Applications"

I take no responsibility if removing a specific app breaks something ;)

Not sure why anybody would want an Android phone with the Google integration though. It's the whole point of the thing, in my opinion. To each their own, I guess.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tactic3:
i have got a great imap email witch my own domain.. so i don't need/want gmail

but other google services like "google maps" and the "google calendar" are great...

and there's no option to delete/uninstall this apps unter "Settings:Applications:Manage Applications"..
[General Topics] rogershroed1991:
Somehow I think I broke some of the hardware because I can't answer calls anymore, whenever I try to answer/ignore it just freezes until it goes to voicemail and then tells me I have a missed call. I've flashed a few different roms, 6.1 and 6.5 and have the same problem across all of them.

I'm thinking if I should just buy another HD but they're pretty expensive because I need the T8285 (I live in the US) and it might be fun to try a new device. I'm also thinking about a Topaz or an Xperia, or maybe a Leo but they look really big so I'm not sure how I'd like it. Or maybe something else, I'm not too familiar with non-HTC phones. The features I really need are:

- Contacts/phonebook access from home screen

- Tasks access from home screen

- Calendar to keep track of events/appointments

- Phone looks cool (lol)

- GSM

- Some type of sync software to transfer contacts (and preferably tasks/calendar) to computer (like how Windows Mobile has the Windows Mobile Device Center)

Optional features I'd like but would be willing to sacrifice if necessary are:

- 3G internet (in the US)

- Weather feature like on HTC phones

- Replaceable battery

Can anyone recommend me a good phone? I don't really care what it is or how old it is as long as it has these features and is bug-free and able to answer calls. Thanks a lot! :)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] chompx2:
I just got my TP2 and was trying to set it up. Looking for an easy backup option.

I went on HTC’s site in Hong Kong and grab the Sprite Backup for TP2. My Dopod c730 has Sprite Backup and it worked great.

There are 2 files, one for the computer and the other for the phone. I was not able to install it on my phone. There was an error message saying that I have the wrong ROM.

Do I need to install a No Policy Cab or the Hard-SPL?

I have uploaded them on Rapishare.

Here are the links.

If someone is interested, go ahead and try it but do give me a feed back and let me know.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ivwonka:
so you are trying to install your dopod backups to your tp2? i would forget that. if you are just trying to intall sprite backup, then just go to spritesoftware.com and d/l a trial version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] chompx2:
These 2 files are from HTC HK. These are for the Touch Pro2.

This is a free app for the Touch Pro2 that is being sold in Hong Kong. I thought I share it with the folks here.

So my G1 will not turn on. When i plug it in via usb or an outlet nothing happens. None of the lights go on and the comp does not recognize it.

When it is plugged it the bottom back does get quite hot though.

im not sure if thats good or bad...

any hope of this being salvaged...

Just want to make sure I do this right. Getting very fustrated trying to search for an answer.

I'm at Cyan 4.9.1 with the JF 1.4 recovery.

So if I do the wipe, do I just then apply update-cm-x.x.x.x-signed.zip? Or do I need to apply something else first or after?

[edit]

I jumped the gun posting...

Wipe

Apply DRC83_base_defanged.zip

Apply Latest CM

Apply Latest Radio

Reboot.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] petard:
The way Windows Mobile handles sending SMS when in low or no signal areas is very annoying. If it fails to send the message it stores it in the drafts with a link to try resending it in the conversation view. You can tap the retry link but if it fails again it will store it in drafts AGAIN and now you have multiple retry links. When it succeedes it doesn't even remove the failed ones.

If someone could change it so that it will keep auto-retrying and wait until signal is back to send it, it would be great.

If that is too hard, is it possible to make it just show only 1 retry link in the conversation view and then auto-remove it once it successfully sends? I hate having to go to drafts and delete multiple messages.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dudu7559:
Dear petard,

it seems as if nobody is intersted in developping such an useful hack in order to remove one of the most annyoing bug our PDA are provided with.

I'd like my PDA to look like a Nokia phone sometimes, even though I wouldn't need to..... but I wonder why such an advanced device as a PDA phone can't have a similar feature. It's really weird, I didn't expect Microsoft not to solve the problem :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] amb9800:
Agreed, this is highly annoying...

Worse yet is that if an SMS fails to be sent from HTC's TF3D SMS app, it actually appears in the stock WM SMS app's conversation view without a resend link, so you don't even know that it hasn't actually been sent.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] billybag:
this is so annoying and has drove me crazy since i got my phone back in april. i dont understand why all my older cell phones did this but my SMARTphone does not. i am constantly needingt this feature
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Dr_Ownage:
Not sure what phone you are using, however with my HD2 if you use custom message client made by Death Angle then he has a built in auto retry sending message. It is quite a nice message client.

[HD2 General] gargon01:
Hi Guys,

I've been doing a bit of research about removing the T-Mobile (or any) operator name from my handset/homescreen etc..and have found a number of different apps that can do this. For example Personalizer:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=359563

which seems to work well exept that it seems to be draining my battery heavily as I beleive that it is an 'always-on' app.

Therefore I've removed it and am looking to do a similar thing via a reg-tweak so as not to need anything running in the background. Before I get flamed for posting an often asked question, I have searched a few other threads for other handsets that have similar registry files as the HD2 and have found some similarites but nothing has worked yet:

http://forum.treonauts.com/palm-smartphones/treo-750/8695-treo-750-registry-tricks-tips-2.html

I've found the CarrierName string in HKLM/Software/Microsoft/RIL folder but altering it with the mobile network code (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code), doesn't seem to have any effect.

I'm on T-Mobile UK and I beleive my network code is 23034 but I just need to know where to use it and/or if the function is available to me with this phone yet? If anyone can shed any light and or knows a way of doing it without installing any potentially battery draining software apps, it would be much appreciated.

Happy New Year!!
[HD2 General] dwizzy130:
Personalizer only runs at startup and changes one reg key to display your text.

dwizzy130
[HD2 General] gargon01:
I found my battery draining a lot quicker with it installed. So you use it yourself and haven't had any problems? Either way, if there was just a reg-tweak I could do myself without installing anything, that's what I'm looking for.

Thanks
[HD2 General] dwizzy130:
I have used it before and have not noticed a differnce in battery life.

The REG key it changes every startup is:

HKLM\System\State\Phone\"Current Operator Name"

Change it to whatever you like but be aware it changes back every soft reset, hense why personalizer runs at every startup.

dwizzy130
[HD2 General] xavierdemon:
I use the awesome tweak from MysticGenius (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=577928) and it works fine for me.

Oh and your carrier string value should be 23430 ;), have no idea how to get rid of the 3G infront of the Scuderia Ferrari though :)
[HD2 General] gargon01:
Yes 23430, I had it right but wrote it wrong:) I tried MysticGenius's tweak already but couldn't find the 'OperatorNames' file. I tried altering CarrierName and also tried making my own string but it made no difference. What did you change xavierdemon?

Thanks
[HD2 General] xavierdemon:
All I have in the Reg is:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\RIL\OperatorNames

And inside that I have a string value "23415"="Scuderia Ferrari" that's all. Obviously for you it would be "23430"="Whatever text you want"

HTH
[HD2 General] gargon01:
No Joy

Ok Xavier,

I did that but no luck unfortunately. I created an OperatorNames file because it didn't exist in the RIL folder and put:

''23430''=''My Message''

as the string, but there was no change at all. I rebooted and tried again but still no difference. Any suggestions?

Thanks
[HD2 General] xavierdemon:
I don't know what to suggest except maybe leaving a message on MysticGenius' tweak post and see if he knows why it's not working for you. Or see if someone can build a CAB for you to input the reg entires, I did try to have a go myself at making the CAB but it's not working at all.

I believe this is often referred to as "commitment" ... which IMHO ranks right up there with "honour", "respect", and "ethics". Although I have no issues with living life the fullest, some actions such as adultery do have consequences which sponsors must keep in mind.
[Off-topic] hilaireg:
At the time I read this thread, I felt that it simply served to instigate a "flamewar" session amongst fellow XDA members or to encourage comments that could be construed as a personal attack on Tiger Woods behaviour as depicted by the media - and as such closed it. Additionally, I felt the thread communicated a negative message to younger - more impressionable - readers.

As a result of closing the thread however, a fellow XDA member felt that I was being too harsh and that to some degree, my actions communicated an undesireable form of censoring.

As such, I have taken the matter up with Flar. In the interest of not communicating a form of censoring, I have chosen to re-open this thread for others to comment with the caveat that it not deteriorate into a personal attack on Tiger Woods or fellow XDA members.
