[P3600 ROM Development] feiwong:
Hello community,

first of all thanks for your great work here in this forum. I am using cooked roms in all my HTC (Universe, Kaiser, Trinity, Elf) but currently i am getting stucked with the question:

Is there a way i can backup a phone completely, meaning a complete dump of the ROM, contacts, messages, installed software etc etc...... So that I can try some other ROMs and in case i don't like them that i just can flash back the image and are 100% done.

I only found up till now that i need to dump my rom and in addition my software/contacts with e.g. SPB Backup.

Thanks in advance for every response..... :D
[P3600 ROM Development] jedai:
yeah, i was going to ask the same question...
[P3600 ROM Development] dmitrium:
Is that possible? Does anyone know it???
[P3600 ROM Development] pikpok:
On one of the Poland boards about smartphones in Trinity section I've seen topic like this - one of the users made a full backup in SPB Backup in original 6.1 and restored it in one of the cooked roms, I think made by "great tomme45i" - he had errors, and he couldn't run his P3600. I think it's impossible to create backup with instaled appz, maybe it's impossible, but the roms have e.g. different languages - you install first WWE, then ITA rom. You can use PIM Backup and backup only PIM data - contacts, messages, tasks, calendar events.
[P3600 ROM Development] Gord:
Hi, for this purpose I am using Sprite Backup. It can backup everything so that when you test some ROMs and want to get back to original one you can then restore everything like it was before. It is not possible to make a full backup and then restore it on different ROM.

Is your signal very weak? One or no bars here where I had 2 or 3 with the hero on Vodafone uk
[Nexus One General] darock159:
I had the same issue except it would only pick up edge instead of 3g. My g1 would have full bars and the nexus would be edge. I called HTC and had no help. Finally I manually selected T-Mobile as my network. Then it switched to 3g. I still randomly switch to edge if I use wifi or reboot. I hope there is an update soon that takes care of it.:(

[HD2 General] twisted-pixel:
Hi,

has anyone noticed (or maybe not having the same problem as me) that when using phonepad in T9 mode and writing messages, it doesn't remember the words that you have selected.

for example HE uses the same letters as IF, now...on my old HD, if I typed HE and then selected HE from the list, then type HE again and selected it from the list, next time I typed the keys for HE, the phone would remember that I have used HE the most and HE wold be the fist option in the list....I've done this countless time, but HE is still 5th or 6th in the list of words (ID, which isn't even a word is always first)

as a side issue, one of the first things I always do is edit the T9 dictionary to add my name and other words etc following this..the T9 doesn't remember any new words that I add (I thought it as supposed to do this automatically?)

thanks for reading
[HD2 General] pigglett:
Same here

I ve turned T9 of due to this
[HD2 General] czar.nik:
actually it does.

I had this problem before and only a bit of playing around worked.

Basically, you need to go in to text input settings (can be done from the keyboard pop up menu) and turn ALL the XT9 settings on (i think one or two are off by default)

then, when typing something new, simply turn off the t9, write in the new word then tap on it on the suggestions bit and it will save it to your XT9 dictionary.

Bare in mind that for shorter things, it doesnt for some reason.... only really 3 letter words like uni or bro. for these you need to find the xt9 program, open it and add it.

Hope all that makes sense?

Oh and the HE/ID/if thing sorts itself out after you've selected them about a million times. annoying i know but haven't found a workaround for that.
[HD2 General] Archer:
It does it for me. I've very happy with the way T9 learns from me, even to the point where it's suggesting things like usernames and email addresses when I start typing them.

You can try FingerKeyBoard, which allows cut, copy and paste.

It does Cut, Copy and Paste afaik.

You can find it via Google.
[HD2 General] interfree:
Hi everyone,

I've been a long time reader of these forums (and owner of many HTCs), but I've never posted yet.

I've a very strange problem with my new HD2. Whenever the phone goes to sleep (that is: whenever i press the power button or the screen sleep time elapses) it does not ring the alarm for received text messages anymore. When it is sleeping, and an SMS arrives, the green LED starts to flash, but no sound; then, when I press the power button to awaken the phone, it suddenly rings the alarm for the SMS.

Is there any way I can fix this?

Thank you very much!

Hello,

I live in belgium and whe use AZERTY.

I wanna use the dutch dictionary with AZERTY.

how can i change this?
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
Is the problem that the language simply isn't available in the keyboard menu? or does it change to qwerty when you select dutch..?

if the language simply isn't available try this in the registry:

go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Tegic/eT9

click AvailableLanguages and add 0113 to the end of the value like:

0109,010C,0107,0110,010A,0113

then go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Tegic/eT9/LdbFiles

and add a new String value named 0113 with a value of NLlsUN_xt9.ldb

then go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Sip\LanguageKeyBoardIDMapping

and add a new String value named 0113 with a value of 0913

(look if the excisting values also have 09 as the first two digits, if they have something else, use those two.. I'm not sure but the value could be different on a azerty device..)

reboot your device...

No registry entry for xt9 language

I live in SE-Asia and have the HD2 with rom 1.48.707.2 (71294) WWE. There are no registry entries for the xt9 languages (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\) and none of the programs with respect to xt9 are found under the windows directory (eT9MyWords.exe or the language files). How can I get the Dutch language for the xt9?

Hello,

I want to order the Nexus One to Chicago, what is the final price here? Are there any additional costs for shipping/tax?

Greetings,

Chris

You can just pretend to order it online and just cancel instead of confirming the purchase that's that I had done. Mine came to $575 I'm in San Diego, California.

Oh yes, i see. I had to add an valid address. Thank you.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Shipping is free, but you'll pay Illinois sales tax on it. It's about 10% here.

can any body help plz............

Moved as not ROM Development

Only you will find the best Radio as so many variables location, carrier then signal v's GPS vs battery life etc etc

Best you can do is head over to the Ultimate Radio Thread and spend some time testing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] darfri:
And you can also inspect your other settings as it might not have nothing to do with radio

[HD2 General] aloms:
I got a bit suckered by all the good reviews for this phone on so many websites and bought it yesterday. I've had a long time [misplaced] affection for windows phones. I say misplaced because every single model I've owned has let me down.

The sense interface is great. Windows is not. I've just made 16 attempts at trying to login to windows live, struggling each time to input a 20 char secure password on the dinky keyboard and when i finally got the password right, i succeeded in invoking the 'too many failed logins' mode of windows live. Nice.:mad:

why is this stuff so difficult for windows mobile phones? why does the phone not go into landscape mode for EVERY application? why is that so difficult to implement? Why did HTC not put a bloody switch for landscape mode? you have a wide screen which would make an onscreen keyborad far more friendly yet you're still stuck trying to hit the 'sweet spot' on a portrait-mode keyboard!??! Not only are you stuck in portait mode but you no longer have a stylus to help you hit those keys!

The initial WOW factor has disappeared for me and I've only had the phone for a day!

can someone help me with some tips on landscape mode? is there some way i can map one of the hard keys to be a landscape mode switch? or some software that does something similar?

thanks!

Install BSB Tweaks this allows landscape for any appplication ;)

[HD2 General] [★]:
Calm down mate, trust me, windows mobile is by far the best OS out there for mobiles. The only reason everyone prefers the iphone is because of its usability, apart from that theres not much you can do but 'get an app for that', however thanks to this forum, you can do almost anything with a windows mobile device, especially one as powerful as the leo. You just need to get used to it, if sense is bugging you, get spb shell or another ui. And of course theres gonna be loads of problems with it, its pretty new, but its good points strongly outway its bad points (oh and might I add, you'll be getting all your tech support from this site, not htc, trust me), so just give it some time and you'll realise, after 'making it yours' how awesome a phone it is.

If the keyboard isnt doing it for you, download a new one! (thats the great thing about winmo) the two popular ones at the moment are swype ( a completely different style of keyboard) or finger keyboard. I personally like the one htc supply you with, heres a tweak taken from this thread which will lower the sensitivy of the screen which makes typing much easier. Alternatively, bsb tweaks can do this all for you from its menu.

Oh and about the rotate thing, on xanny tech's pandora rom, he has a little execuatable file in the start menu with rotates everything, and its mapped to a long press of the send key, so thats pretty useful, im not running his rom anymore but if you know anything about flashing, flash his first, its very good indeed and has lots of tweaks and useful stuff preinstalled.

Hope that helps a little, if not just ask :D

thanks for your help mate. having bought into a 24 month contract I'm pretty much stuck with getting to learn the phone whether i like it or not.

I agree with [★]. Once you know it better, you'll get to love it. There's so much under the hood of this thing that yes, you'll find a few things that you don't like, but they'll be outweighed by the things that you do :)
[HD2 General] Syphon Filter:
You, Sir, need to check out my thread, which would surely have come up if you had used the search function. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5197442 Windows Live/Hotmail etc seem to only take 16 characters. Anything after that is ignored. But the Windows Live application on mobile accepts more than 16 and will try and authenticate with everything you type in. 20 character password will not work. Reduce your pass to 16 characters or less and it should work. Post back in this thread to let me know if this sorts your issue out.
[HD2 General] gargon01:
If it's a keyboard you're after then try Swype. Have a search for it. I too had a lot of sensitivity problems with the keyboard and it would take ages to type a simple email. Swype solved that. It's a lot less sensitive than the native keyboard and I used SIP to make it my default. In terms of landscape mode, try using Opera instead of IE (although Opera lacks flash). BSB Tweaks will handle the rest although I don't use it myself.

Trust me, stick with the phone and, with a few tweaks to have it running how you like it, you won't look back!
[HD2 General] BumAround:
Just return the darn phone, smack it to the floor and trample it good, or learn to use it since you've bought it. Please save yourself over a high blood pressure leading to a stroke, my friend. It's only a phone.. (but then there's always iPhones for usability's sake, whatever it means) :)
[HD2 General] xenept:
Ok, you need to calm down a tad. Ok, the phone is not perfect. However, there is endless configurability for the phone. The best thing you could ever have done was to come to this site where there is a tweak for almost anything.

Sit down, fasten your seatbelt and take a look around. You need an open mind. The HD2 is no iphone. It's the iphone killer. Just needs a little tweaking that's all.

Alternatively, you could ditch it and join the bandwagon, I mean iphone!
[HD2 General] stuart-buchy:
Try Swype, best KB I hve used on a phone, my mate with an Iphone thought it was great and was going to look for it for the Iphone, once tweaked the HD2 is the best mob by far!

Windows is rubbish because of the HTC keyboard?? Ok... :confused:

Isnt the whole ADVANTAGE of winmo that if you dont like something you can change it?
[HD2 General] TheOnly1:
The advantage of WinMo is the tweaking and Office Mobile :) My wife had a HTC Hero for 2 months and at the end she begged me to get her a new Windows Phone because the freaking Android won't open rich text format files (unfortunately in her job she is obliged to use rtf as standart file format) without great hassle even with all possible office replacements I cound find on the net. Not to speak of that, that even the enhanced HTC mail client for Android can't open messages that are sent from mail.bg (a very popular bulgarian web mail service). That was the end for Android :)

[HD2 General] Amator72:
I will join this thread with my three questions.

I have converted to the dark side and bought iPhone 3GS after having gone through a lot of phones and OSes. I have given up on WinMo (using HTC Pro) basically because of 3 issues:

1. Phone app in the sense of its responsiveness. I mean, someone is calling - first 2 seconds the hardware buttons light up, next 2 seconds the phone starts to vibrate, next 2 seconds there is a sound. Is it happening on the HD2 too? How responsive is it? Plus does it have a good gsm reception? With my HTC Pro I had to keep on testing different radio roms and have not been satisfied ever...

2. When you use HD2 say 4-5 days or longer, does it slow down over time. I mean especially when you use contacts with 1000 entries etc, or is it instant?

3. On a brand new HD2 just charged, when you load in your 1000 contacts, does it have an instant search of a contact in the contacts app? Or an email address in the "To" section when you want to write an email?

Frankly speaking, HD2 looks very tempting, but I am afraid mainly of the 3 above areas and am thinking to wait for Windows 7 or something?

PS. HTC Pro is still with me, but in the drawer... :)
[HD2 General] Archer:
I've had a Diamond, a HD, and now a HD2 and I can say with 100% confidence that I never had 1 single problem with Hotmail. I've seen a very small number of users on here with issues and every single one of them has turned out to be user error.

I suggest the same in this instance as it works flawlessly when set up correctly, which 99.9% of users do.

I have probs with the cradle, I can't charge it even I've plugged in the power cable (with the AC wire/adapter) to the cradle and also the USB wire connected to my desktop. I'm using Linux for my desktop. The PDA doesn't show the charging signal (amber/green light) ever, and this is a new prob, it doesn't happen yet. When I switch off the main plug, means everything that connected to, the cradle and my desktop, my PDA automatically switched on when the USB wire connected, but not switched on when it's disconnected, the power cable still remains the same, never disconnect it. Hopefully, to those who really expert about it, please help me as soon as you can.

Rather than modify the cradle itself, because I'm not so good in electronic :)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Rudegar:
batteries got a sudden time you can charge them and they die it's the same for all batteries

but if when you put your device in the cradle or connect it to the charging connector for the ac psu and nothing happens at all the device don't power on or anything then

it could be the connector in the phone which is damaged
