Well, its been so long when I finally got a working audio booster in xperia. So i just want to share this. For those who loves the xperia media panel and doesnt like the manila bug. The miri audiobooster is 100% working on gtrabs 6.5 and spike's unofficial infinite 6.5 as well. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5240598&postcount=1568

Oh, i did a search for miri before i openned the thread. Thanks.
[XPERIA X1 General] Waco2:
You said it, FINALLY. I've been looking for this for a very long time and not been able to get the HTC Audio Booster in WVGA anywhere, so I jumped from WMP to Nitrogen (which is an awesome player anyway). I wouldn't have shifted if I'd found this earlier, sincerely thanks even though it's probably not much of a use for me now.

[HD2 General] Timothye:
HI , after loads of frustration not being able to set up HOTMAIL on a WINDOWS MOBILE phone (HD2) i have about given up .

i have called my provider and contacted HTC and searched the net over and over for a solution .

i havent found a thing to set up my hotmail account to receive mails directly to my account until this morning while surfing YET AGAIN for a solution .

i thought i would share this with others that are having the same problem with their HOTMAIL account .

this worked for me so far .

i have to click on Send/receive to receive an email but maybe it will work if i just wait out the 5 minute intervals for receiving , which i havent done yet.

I have waited the 5 minutes to receive and it is working . just to clairify !

for a person like me that isnt very good at setting up the settings correctly this was easy and problem free

here are the steps

1. Create a new email account.

2. In the email field write your email but replace the “@hotmail.com” with “@hotmail.con”, this way the OS is not going to load Windows live messenger to sync your email.

3. Disable the option “Try to get e-mail settings…”

4. Select the email provider, in this case, Internet e-mail.

5. Complete the name and account display name

6. Incoming server: “pop3.live.com:995″. Account type: POP3

7. Complete the form with your username and password. Note: the username is your full email address: “yourusername@hotmail.com” and not “yourusername”.

8. Outgoing mail server: “smtp.live.com:25″. Check the “outgoing server requires au…”. Click on Advanced settings and check the “Require SSL…” for incoming and outgoing e-mail.

9. Complete the rest of the setup.

10. Now, go to your email account and go to Tools > Options, once there, click on the email account you just created and click on “Edit account setup.” NOTE: It might make you wait until it syncs 1 time.

11. Replace the “@hotmail.con” with the right one “@hotmail.com” and hit next ’till the end of the setup, and done.

now click the HOME button on your handset .go to your email accounts and you will see a new email called hotmail.con .

this is the new email you just created .

you can now receive emails from your hotmail account .

click manually send / receive and it should start loading everything from your hotmail account .

I hope this has helped somone out there .

peace out !

/T

im glad this is solved .

[HD2 General] TheOnly1:
I just don't get the whole story. You don't need to have Windows Live running in order to use Hotmail as push mail. You only need to run Windows Live ONCE in order to setup your account. After that Hotmail is working like any other mail account.
[HD2 General] Archer:
I found this with a search of this very forum. You should have searched first before posting.

As you said though - credit to those who deserve it.

Absolutely. That post is actually for adding more hotmail accounts, which you can't do by default. (Well, it's for adding them manually, rather than through live, which in turn allows you to have more than 1.)
[HD2 General] Timothye:
can you elaborate a bit more on your post .

[HD2 General] Archer:
Then search harder in future. When you've been on here longer and helped people more, you may appreciate how frustrating it is to see the same things posted repeatedly. Until that point, you don't understand so you think it's okay. This is not "more useless posts on why you posted this". This is trying to reiterate that you need to improve your "lack of search terminology".

I'm not arguing with you, so therefore will post on this matter no more. Say what you need to say and forget about it.

i am a senior member on another forum with 130,000 posts over many years .

if you see something that you know has been asked before , why read the Thread/post . who gave you the GOD of the forums title and the search function.

be kind , that will make your life alot easier instead of posting crap like " search harder" and so on .

i do take offence to posts like yours when i am in the newb seat on this board . welcome me and then post a simple link to the related thread that has already been posted .

I've followed your instructions and glad to report that it works, well kinda. The emails in my Hotmail In Box are now on my phone, but, I can't get the phone to sync to the additional folders that I have created in my Hotmail account.

Example, log into Hotmail using a browser on PC.

Go to folders and you'll have Inbox, Sent etc. I've also created a couple of others like Job Search.

Go to your email on your phone and you only have Inbox and Sent :(

Any ideas on how I get it to sync with the other folders in my Hotmail account?

I hope the above makes sense, shout if not and I'll do my best to go further into it.

Thanks in advance for anyone that can help.
[HD2 General] Ruudfood:
Sorry to dig up an old post.

I have used this method to setup an additional hotmail account. It works well enough to received mails but if I read (or delete) the same mail from Outlook on my desktop PC it does not mark the mail as read (or delete it) on my HD2 even if I do a manual send and receive. Sync is set to "every 5 minutes".

Is there any way to solve this problem?

Hello,

I have a BIG problem with HTC TF3D Manila 2.5 Audio Manager! All of a sudden this morning the storage card disappeared. After a soft reset is comes back but all my library files on the TF3D player is lost. So I move to the Audio tab and the library begins loading again. But for some strange reason, it stops abruptly showing no files and when I look for my storage card, its missing again.

Anyone else faced the same problem. This is driving me nuts!! Can someone please help me out? Do you think it has something to do with music files or a virus? I have not added any new music from the past week, so I dont see how that could be the problem.

Any pointers will be much appreciated.

Thanks!:confused:

[HD2 General] Noam23:
Nexus1 is based on snapdragon, with a 3.7" screen, so hardware wise it's on the same level as HD2.

Android is starting to become a mature OS, it's much more stable than WM, and in several months it will do everything WM can do and more... Google has a great developing team which will surely keep updating Android with great abilities, while Windows Mobile developing team simply sucks, now they postponed WM7 to late 2010...

The Nexus1 is only $530, this will definitely bring the price of the HD2 down, so maybe it's better to sell the HD2 now ?...

The only thing that bothers me is that I spent money purchasing software for WM (like Thumbcal, Galarm and more) and if I'm going for Android it's money down the toilet.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Good idea mate. Let us know how you get on.
[HD2 General] Noam23:
No problem.
[HD2 General] bzdemes:
Yes 3.7" is the same as 4.3" lol
[HD2 General] lude219:
I wouldn't downgrade from the 4.3in to the 3.7in.

I wouldn't trade the HD2's slender design for the stale design of the Nexus and its trackball.

...but that's just me. The HD2 has both form AND functions, whereas the Nexus has all function, but no personality (not as highly customizable as winmo).
[HD2 General] 0Reefa:
No point getting into this debate, if the HD2 doesn't do what you want and need from a phone, sell it. If the Nexus does do what you want, buy it.

It's each to their own, sounds like you've made up your mind!
[HD2 General] gavinfabl:
Having had the HTC Hero, the Nexus is a good choice. However, Android and Windows is not a fair comparison. Windows have far greater options. Android is tied down but is simple like an iphone to use. Both are good, but 4.3 inch screen is miles better than 3.7inches.

Plus the HD2 has great sound, strong gps and radio chips. I wouldnt rush out. Wait for the real reviews from people who have bought it. Are there restrictions with the phone etc...
[HD2 General] Archer:
Yep, but they can't help themselves can they ;)
[HD2 General] fraser68:
yep I had the omnia hd with 3.7 screen (I went to the dark side for a while) and in comparison the HD2 screen is huge, wouldn't go back to a smaller screen now
[HD2 General] adell_:
I don't think I can go back to 3.7" screen now. It's so small :).
[HD2 General] romani87:
Rotten by display

Haha:D It's funny to see how every owner of HD2 is now so rotten by the 4.3 inch display:D nobody would downgrade now because any other display looks so small against it :p
[HD2 General] Noam23:
True, the HD2's screen size is a real bonus, especially since it's packed into such a small form factor. Both the HD2 and Nexus1 have the *same* height (120mm), yet the HD2 has a 4.3" screen and the Nexus has a 3.7" (and HD2 is even thinner!).

Since the HD2 is a better hardware than nexus (at least regrading screen size, even though the Nexus is AMOLED, so colors might be better there), I think if we had an option to install Android on HD2 it would have been perfect. Maybe an Android port from Nexus1 to HD2 will be easier since both are using snapdragon...
[HD2 General] jpmalum:
once you go 4.3 there is no turning back - :)

Could not help myself:)
[HD2 General] wazaaappp:
true, I got hd2 and my X1, I haven't used my x1 for a while, now I can barely read the screen on the x1 :confused::confused:
[HD2 General] fatalus:

[HD2 General] Moandal:
Going from a 4.3 inch screen to a 3.7 makes as much sense as going from a 24 inch monitor to a 20 inch one. It's a big step backwards.
[HD2 General] adesonic:
You lot may well laugh at the obsession with the HD2's big screen, but at my age with eyesight getting dodgier by the day, I will soon need a phone with a 10 inch screen..................
[HD2 General] lee1980:
exactly that. Honestley I'm even wondering what is gonna be my next device at all in one and half a year because from the logical perspective and the commonsense there is not that much place upwards regarding the size of screen :-) And fact is I'm not up to miss the HD2 screen in future . For time being there are tons of rumors and announcements regarding new devices for 2010 but none of them can reach the HD2 size. Not even HTC with the new android flagshipp bravo or sony ericsson xperia x10. from my point of view this is also exactly the reason why HTC is bringing bravo with a smaller screen size . Because they want to keep HD2 and the winmob flagshipp... HD ready back and forth....

Cheers,

LEE
[HD2 General] beyondthought:
just watched all the youtube reveiws, Nexus1 seems a bit poo, dosnt quite hit the spot.. Android "looks" a bit basic for the hardware.. Whats the next phone??
[HD2 General] MeowMeowMan:
And don't forget that HD2 will be upgradeable to WinMo7!

*can't wait*

I think the large screen is big and beautiful. However, I can understand that it might be too big for some to handle one-handed. For me, its just a glory to behold. [ok, for all you peeps, get your brain outta the gutter :-P ]
[HD2 General] adell_:
If there is a really good phone with 4.0" screen, I may consider to downgrade.

But 3.7" is way too small, I cannot stand it :).

I hope that HTC will annouce the HD3 with 4.5" screen or more :).
[HD2 General] ruscik:
I have tested motorola milestone (Droid as it is known in US). As much as I love full keyboard and fact that even with that keyboard it is only as thick as Touch Diamond 2. However software for me was the let down. It felt like well hard to describe.

It was like windows vs dos. Yes Android is stable, yes it is fast, yes it is simple but it feels like a lot of effort is needed with it, feels outdated in looks as you just know all that shiny stuff is just on the surface and real, apps that were ported are not as good. To me it felt to much like Linux on PC, all nice and fun until you want to do something. I mean TomTom on Iphone is a disaster and missing from android all together, copilot on android is not that good as well. I would say it needs a year to grow up minimum. Most app developers just port apps instead of building new one's which you can see and feel when using them. In that one mentioned year it will change except that in that one year we will have winmo7.

Oh yes one thing Motorola milestone was to come with snapdragon as main cpu but they did not do it as android does not need such powerfull cpu to run fine. Well I disagree it felt like old winmo 5 or 6. You press and wait ;)
[HD2 General] Aqrab:
true true :)

i will not downgrade to that small screen :D
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Pause for breath and be open minded....

Must admit I am appreciative of all technology. I'm not one for thinking that the device I own is the best thing ever and anyone who suggests something else should eat their balls for breakfast! :eek:

Just had a look at the Nexus video and the device does not look appetising. However, in my experience, it is always best to look at these things in the metal, play with them and make up your own mind.

We have both the HD2 AND a Hero in my household and guess what; the Hero, running Android, is a superb piece of kit. But for the bluetooth file transfer issue, fixed in Eclair, this device would be getting 11 out of 10 from me.

I did not buy it for myself simply because I wanted a device that was a PDA, ie appointments and diary focussed for my business rather than just a phone. If it had not been for that we would have had 2 Hero's in my household.

You have to use one to see just how fast it is. The flexibilty of the shell is not as restricted as you might think and in terms of apps, there's a fair few out there.

Point of this post is to remind people to be open minded. Yes, everything is a matter of taste and preference but the HD2 is not perfect, not by a long way.

Too much reliance is being put on Windows 7 to bail us out of the known issues and deficiencies. My view is that we will remain disappointed because history points to that fact always being the case.

Meanwhile I intend to enjoy my device the way it is, improve on it as and when I can, but also enjoy other devices and platforms as well and watch them grow.

Would I move to Android if it was sat on the HD2 platform? Yes, absolutely, immediately, today, right now, no questions asked. Where do I sign up?

[HD2 General] xavierdemon:
Anyway back to the original point ;) should you sell your HD2 now and get the Nexus next week. I'd say if your certain you want the Nexus, then get rid of the HD2 asap, otherwise you're going to lose money trying to sell it later.
[HD2 General] hanoi_toulouse:
i dont think i could leave my hd2 in the next 5 year, and wm maybe in the next 10 year or never :eek:

because, i have many app running well on WM, and HD2 manila is the best user interface. And i have FPSECE 1.0 version supporter who work like a charm :mad:
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
Isn't that Nexus thing going to come out without HTC Sense? If it is, it's going to be another dull Android thing, and don't bring Hero as an example please.
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Why not?

WB
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
Because without HTC software Android is crap. It's ugly, dull and misses basic functionality like syncing with Exchange. Even with HTC stuff it is severely lacking in the multimedia and satnav departments, but without it it's just worthless vaporware.

Hero is heavily modified by HTC, so you can't use it as an example of what an unmodded Android will be like.
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Ah I see. Well thanks for sharing that with us.

[HD2 General] firaX:
I would not get the N1 just yet. Both OS have two fundamental issues: WM is OUTDATED, Android is premature. I think HD2 bridges the gap quite nicely with Sense UI kind of giving WM the update it needed. I am confident once WM7 roms start emerging the HD2 will truly shine.

The other issue with Android is, that there are already so many versions parallel. I am not sure how rom cooking works on Android, but officially there are phones with 1.6 2.0 2.1 etc coming out and i think they are not even officially updated. So a device shipping with 1.6 is not sure to get the new 2.1 and so on. Android development seems so rapid, i think it would be wise to give it another year to make a true comparison between WM7 and the then-Android version.

Ultimately, i also think N1 is UGLY. Looks cheap to me with the weird silver plastic buttons on the bottom. I like the HD2s clean interface and sharp edges. Looks very modern. Screen wise - N1 comes with AMOLED which is an advantage. But it seems the max AMOLED size mass-manufactured for cell phones atm is 3,7. That's probably why HD2 had a traditional LCD screen.
[HD2 General] gavinfabl:
The HD2 with an iPod Touch is the best of all worlds IMO. Both devices work well together .
[HD2 General] Nit3m4re:
Agreed, its what I have. Besides, having an ipod touch since day one has made me bored of the iphone UI. At least the HD2 brings something new to the mix.
[HD2 General] lovebell:
AMOLED screen will definatly save some power, I will suggest my friends for their next phone.

If I cannot fix my HD2 battery drain issue, I would consider it.
[HD2 General] William Hart:
If MS have any sense(!), they will be licencing "Sense" from HTC for inclusion in the base build of WM7. They should also expand the "finger-friendly" aspect of Sense into the rest of WM7.

I'm a log-time supporter and user of WM, but it's current survival and recent "successes" owe more to HTC then MS.
[HD2 General] band27:
AMOLED ss definitely a plus but not enough for HD2 supports to flea...

The concept of AMOLED is like Plasma (higher contrast ratio, brighter screen, no back light technology) ....but unlike plasma, AMOLED saves energy as mentioned by lovebell.
[HD2 General] Aqrab:
1+ for that :cool:
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
I like Sense but I think and hope MS can do better than this. Squeezing the whole OS into home screen widgets is hardly a very productive idea, not to mention how difficult it is to customize Manila. There are also areas where neither Apple nor Google have excelled, like alt+tabbing, and that's where MS need to concentrate as it's the OS core UI.
[HD2 General] William Hart:
I tend to agree with most of that. I'm not sure what the problem is with the home-screen; ultimately eveything is reached via the home-screen one way or another. I do think MS should knit the best of those widgets properly into the OS. The HTC-TaskManager, for instance, should be on every WM-Phone, but with an on/off switch option.

I think there are a lot of things MS can do to improve WM, but they have a problem that iPhone and Android don't have - they need to support legacy apps. Nobody would praise MS if WM7 was great, but wouldn't run any of the older apps.

I just hope that MS are taking a lead from the better WM interfaces that are now available such as Sense and SPB-Shell and the others. It looks as though WM7 will be their "last chance", and if they don't come up something good, there may never be a WM8. I certainly wouldn't want that to happen.
[HD2 General] peredenoel:
Hey guys

This thread isn't it like a marketing reserche who want to know everyone's pointe to the Nexus 1 ?

There are no more reasons to change our HD2 to Nexus 1, and no more reasons to change Wm to Android.....until Android making better more.
