[HD2 General] the_last_don:
Thanks but thats not really answering my question, all those images are of the new windows lock screen.

Has anyone got the classic lock screen on the HD2?

More to the point can the HD2 lock the screen on the 'today' screen.

Thanks
[HD2 General] gdayhtc:
yes you can i have tried it...but first you have to disable the default lock screen in wm6.5
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
if you post that you got it, why not post how

go to settings > menu > all settings > lock > display tab choose windows classic from the dropdown.

then the phone needs to reboot and you have an empty original today screen..

to get sense back or put other items on the today screen got to settings > today > items tab

whatever you choose, now when you push a button it will show you a locked windows today or sense home screen..

edit: althought it takes an extra tap to unlock, it easier with one hand then the slider on top of the screen..
[HD2 General] pckshd:
You can also try PocketShield which works nice on the HD2.

It has a "transparent lock" mode which might fit into what you are looking for. Not free though...

When I try to reply to a message sent to me from one particular person, I get a message from System Administrator saying "The message you sent has been delivered" Whenever I get this message, the person I was replying to does not get a text from me. If I open a new message and add this person as a recipient, then he gets the message. Why is there this error and how do I fix it? Does anyone know? I love the phone but this error showing up and not sending my messages makes me want to get a new phone because the person I cant reply to is my fiance!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] r1aven:
In my past experience with verizon, you will receive that message when you attempt to send a text message to a land line. It might be that you have numbers stored in the wrong fields. For example, you accidentally stored the home phone in the mobile field.
[General Questions and Answers] tecjunkie:
Ok I am not sure where to ask this and when I search I don't see anything what I am looking for. I am sure it has been asked before so maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

I have Tmo Tp2 stock rom winmo 6.1 with Spb mobile shell. I noticed this before the shell addon.

When I receive a picture message it shows up as a attachment. I know this is probably just a windows thing.

How can I receive a multimedia message without having to open the attachment? Like you would on a dumb phone.

Thanks in advance

i cant get weather info ever since i flash dutty's holy grail rom....

wat should i do??
[Touch HD General] MasDroid:
Try upgrading your radio version, see here.

[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
is this due to data connection or are you talking about My Location weather?

Can you provide more info or did Mastoid's advice fix it?

Am I the only one experiencing an overly sensitive Sense UI? Perhaps I'm missing a setting. I have looked all through /etc and can't find any way to adjust the sensitivity.

Anyone have a solution?
[Droid Eris General] pinksocker69:
Touchscreen Spaz-out

I will say: occasionally my touch screen will just go bat-**** crazy, registering even the slightest movements as "clicks". The phone is completely unusable; god help you should you be in the lock screen.

Now, after observing this for a couple of days I have a hare-brained theory: it's related to how hot the device is. I've noticed that it happens after extended periods of use, or when it's plugged into the wall charger. Just unplugging it grants a short reprieve, and a refractory "cool down" period generally fixes it. Also it'll work sorta if you press down on the screen like you're trying to kill your phone.

Can anyone else confirm this?
[Droid Eris General] sickbox:
I was getting a lot of the jitteryness and screen lockups before I loaded MR2, everything seems pretty fine now. I had more problems with my wife's myTouch than the eris for once last week.

hello, my screen seems to have a problem..

this is what the screen looks like,

i am not sure what is wrong.. does anyone know?

would i have to go get a new lcd screen?

it only shows on light colours though, on dark colour it looks normal.

edit: also when i press the sleep the screen goes dark then the screen turns on again

edit: hard reset and the sleep is fine

the screen is still messed up though.
[Hero CDMA General] nck4857:
I was getting this message on my computer after the adb shell command, but everything seemed to work after that...? After searching about 300 pages (seemed like that many anyways) I looked at the readme file and ended up running the tools\android.bat update sdk command.... I guess it found and update and is re-downloading and installing the entire SDK program again... Is this normal/necessary?

The reason I want that message to go away is because the Pre-Kitchen didn't seem to work after it received that message "adb server is out of date".. I just want to make sure I'm not messing something up by doing this "update"

Thanks..!
[Hero CDMA General] thecodemonk:
I've gotten that error as long as I can remember...it mostly just happens if there's been a long time between adb sessions or I've disconnected my phone somewhere along the way. It's no big deal, it just restarts itself into a working state and never causes an issue as far as I can tell.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
I belive this happens when there is in insstance of ADB currently running in your processes list and you are trying to start a new session.

It should just kill the running ADB and start a new deamon.
[Hero CDMA General] nck4857:
OK, I was just wondering, everything seems to work fine as far as I can tell.. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toomie05:
is there a way to remove icons from the start menu? i have a custom rom (modaco and there are a few apps i cant remove i was wondering if i can just remove ther icon? thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
I presume you are trying to remove apps that are installed on the system partition. (ie. most of the standard HTC apps).

If so, you can do so from your PC, but follow these instructions in case you remove something you shouldn't (!)

1. Take a Nandroid Backup before starting

2. Connect phone to your PC and set up ADB from the SDK if not already done.

3. Run command

adb remount

4. Type

adb shell

5. Type

su

6. Type

cd /system/app

7. Type

ls

8. Now have a look through the list for what you want to remove. Be aware that low-level things like the dialer are listed here, so be careful

9. When you find the app you want to uninstall, type the commands

exit
adb pull com.name.of.apk.file.apk C:\HTCHeroBackupApps

to copy the apk file to your PC in case you want to put it back

10. Then type

adb shell
cd /system/app
rm com.name.of.apk.file.apk

11. Application removed. Repeat for other apps you want rid of. Reboot phone when done.

(11.) If you need to restore an app in future for any reason, use the following command:

adb remount
adb push C:\HTCHeroBackupApps\com.name.of.apk.file.apk /system/app

and reboot the phone.

HTH, and don't go deleting things if you don't know what they are ;)

[G1 General] TeeJay3800:
After seeing an official Android 2.0/2.1 update being released for the T-Mobile G1 discussed here and here, I haven't see anything else about it. Does anyone know if this will still happen, or are Dream/Magic users out of luck when it comes to anything beyond 1.6?
[G1 General] Mi|enko:
They can say they're official all they want, but it's not official until TMo says it officially. Nobody really knows at this point. . . just a ton of speculation.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Has nothing to do with tmobile.

Has to do with HTC.

It doesn't matter if tmobile wants it or not -- if HTC doesn't produce it, it doesn't happen.

Note: tmobile can even REFUSE it, but that doesnt mean that any of *us* are out of luck since HTC [is supposed to] support ADP1 directly -- tmobile has nothing to do with this AT ALL.
[G1 General] TeeJay3800:
Ok, thanks for the responses. I asked because I really want something new. With Android 2.0 and 2.1 being out, and with other phones having the awesome Sense interface, a phone with Donut and without Sense is downright boring to me. If no official 2.0/2.1 ROM will be released for the Dream, I may take the plunge to root and switch to the CM ROM. I'd rather have an official 2.0 though!
[G1 General] nahanee20:
tmobile has to request the update from google. In the end t mobile gets to decide if we get the upgrade, if old gen phones keep gettin updated then no one will buy new phones.
[G1 General] tazz9690:
Well the Roger's Magic is getting 2.1 with Sense. They said, however, that their G1's will not get the update due to certain limitations on the device. So those with other carriers, like T-Mobile might not get it either...

http://androidandme.com/2010/01/pho...s-android-software-updates-for-select-phones/

Makes me wonder if the MT3G might not get the update either due to it being a 32B and not a 32A like the Roger's or other 32A phones.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Robbers is a bunch of liars.

They claim that they can't upgrade past 1.FIVE due to hardware limitations... well gee, everybody else everywhere already has 1.6.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Google has NOTHING to do with it. Google does NOT have the required source. HTC has the required source. HTC supports ADP1 directly. If HTC is unwilling, then nothing happens. If HTC chooses to build the necessary binaries, then we're good as gold. Tmobile can ask until they're blue in the face. It is still ENTIRELY UP TO HTC.
[G1 General] TeeJay3800:
I'm new to Android and Android modding, so can I get some advice as to where to go from here? I've flashed phones before (most recently my SE TM506 to the generic SE firmware), but that was extremely simple by comparison.

I feel that a G1 user with stock T-Mobile OTA Donut is really getting left behind, so I'd like to try something newer. I would love 2.1 and HTC Sense, but that doesn't seem likely, and an official 2.0/2.1 OTA ROM seems less and less likely as well. CyanogenMod is an obvious choice, but the upgrade procedure is very intimidating to me, and I also hear a lot of conflicts/bugs that people experience with that ROM.

What should someone that's new to Android modding do to keep getting the most out of their Dream?
[G1 General] brummiesteven:
Root and experiment with new roms.

You wont look back :P

[HD2 General] Shelley:
Hey there,

I am just about to purchase a HTC HD2 from China.

I have asked for the Pre configured English version, however is there any thing else that i should be concerned about before purchasing?

I looked it up on Alibaba site..

They say it comes with an international warranty, is in the box etc, but will it work in Australia, with my Optus 3G sim? (Also will it work with other carriers too?)

Any info you could provide would be great,

With thanks in advance.
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
I would be careful if I were you in checking out the specs. Most HTC phones sold in Asia do not come with the 3G 850Mhz Band. If I am correct, you will need this band to receive 3G services in Australia. Check here to see the specs that come with HTC phones that are legally sold in Asia. Don't confuse GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz support with 3G support. For that you have to look at the specs for HSPA/WCDMA.
[HD2 General] lexx-luthor:
I have a HD2 which I bought from Handtec in the UK. I used it on the Telstra Network for a while but it only worked with EDGE. I have since changed to Vodafone and get full 3G for half the price.

I have not tried Optus, so you may need to check what frequencies they use for their 3G Network. The HD2s from overseas doesn't contain the 850Mhz frequency so for Telstra it will only ever get EDGE not full 3G.

Vodafone uses the 900/2100Mhz

Telstra uses 850/2100Mhz, they are apparently getting the 850Mhz on their HD2 Versions released in AUS Q1 2010.
[HD2 General] le_paulo:
Your HD2 will definitely work in Australia with the Optus network. However if you live in a regional area and change to Telstra you will struggle as the phone has not yet been released with NextG's 850MHz compatibility. Telstra is releasing this phone very soon.

There's a thread discussing this topic already so you should read that too.

Of more concern is maybe where you're getting the phone from. I hope you've got a reputable dealer...
[HD2 General] lexx-luthor:
le_paulo's right. no matter what network you use in AUS it will work- to varying degrees. as a phone, no worries, but the 3G/EDGE issue you will need to take into account.

try this list of vendors xda forum users have used;

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Leo/Vendors

like i said before I used Handtec, they seem to have a good rep and it only took 2 weeks to get to darwin from the uk.
[HD2 General] miannaeemd:
About working and not working other freinds informed you, but be careful there will be no warranty if you purchase it from china. I dont know HTC is having global warranty service in Australia or not.

I am a victim I purchased Touch HD from Hong Kong (and it is not working now) & I am living in UAE, my full value of mobile wasted as here no global warranty available. HTC is telling me to send the phone to Hong Kong.
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
Do you have any HTC service centers UAE? I checked with the HTC headquarters in Taiwan and their response was to first seek help from an HTC service center, and if they cannot fix it, the phone would be sent back to the country of origin. Of course, Taiwan itself has good HTC service centers. I have no idea about HTC service centers in UAE or Australia.
[HD2 General] c_lega:
Don't buy anything searched on alibaba.com or china...

I know its late for me... but maybe for anyone else not... DON'T BUY ANYTHING ON alibaba.com...

A month ago, searching for HTC HD2 T9193 on alibaba... and I found many who sell it... as low as $183/unit on 2 minimun units... so I tried it and here are the results:

I have received same amount of phones that I have ordered (3) but Chinesse copies of Nokia N97s!... and the response of the person who sold it to me... "there could be a problem with the cargo company, we are waiting their response"... and here I am... a month later waiting for "the cargo company to give them an answer!"...

So if either of you want to buy anything and searched on alibaba.com... at least don't do with these people:

Moninka

www dot werternmars dot com

westernmars at hotmail dot com

westernmars1 at hotmail dot com

As others said, they only receive Western Union or Money Gram transfer (not paypal neither credit card)... and the prices are very low...

Hey guys i was wondering i have the apple iphone headphones with the built in mic and ive used it on my moterola rokr e8 just by plugging it into the 3.5mm jack on the phone. Now i know the htc touch pro 2 only has miniusb my question is that is it possible to use an adapter from miniusb to 3.5mm to get it not only the headphones to work but the mic as well?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] killerbeatz:
anyone have any ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] kimtyson:
I'm surprised you haven't gotten any response to this. I am sure you can use the earphones. The question is will the mic work? My adapter has a built in mic so I can't answer that part. Sorry.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] killerbeatz:
ohh alright and which adapter are you using? i have an adapter one with a mic as well for the htc but i find the cord gets really long and it kind of annoying that the mic is on the adapter cuz the headphones are much closer and you have to clip the adapter close to your face but yeah which adapter do you use?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] woaloo:
Not working

I think it's not working properly.

I previously read this in an another thread. Earphones are working but not the mic because it's not the same wiring. If i remenber, volume control on the headphone will work too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] pinoymutt:
I think it depends on the adapter you are using. From what I understand the OEM HTC adapters will allow a headset mic to work, but some of the off-brand (non-OEM) ones don't work with mics.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mr_sheen:
hi folks, yesterday i stumbled upon this nice piece of software called iperov's Pocket guitar http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=482726

It's essentially a virtual guitar that you can strum and pick. The problem is, i have to hold some sort of hardware button to play the chord and we know Rhodium don't have that much hardware button :p

i tried to open the keyboard, but then the screen goes to landscape and i had a hard time setting up the chord (check out the vid on the thread to see what i mean).

Now when i had my Xperia, u can assign one of the button to rotate the screen manually, but it doesn't seems to be available in the rhodium.

Is there any way to toggle the screen manually from landscape to portrait, vice versa? even with the keyboard out.

I thank you for all your response :)

Edit: solved. Sorry for the waste of space guys ;)

Hi all,

Well, my Topaz has just suddenly developed Newton's Rings :mad:

I have spoken to HTC, and like everyone else, HTC has said it won't be covered under warranty.

My question is, which part does the issue lie with? Is it the LCD or the digitizer?

Which ever it is, I am going to purchase, and repair myself, as I don't want to pay HTC $$$$ for something they should fix for free, and I also don't want to stop using my Topaz.

Thanks in advance!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
"Newton rings", I love it! :D

I read that if you take duct tae and repeatedly pull the screen away from the digitizer, it fixes it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] philaldred:
HTC

WILL

cover this, they have done mine! I presume they only wont if it looks like your screen has been squashed/badly looked after, which mine isnt :)

Took about 5 days in total from sending it, they replaced the whole front for me.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] spyder4:
I will give this a try - I have nothing to lose!

I called customer support, and as soon as I mention Newton Rings, the lady said it wouldn't be covered under warranty. I told her that the phone is in immaculate condition, and she said there was no way for them to know if I caused the damage. Further to that, there is no service center in Australia, so I would need to send it overseas. Bi-directional, insured, international postage will cost more than just buying the parts and repairing it!

Thanks for the replies, however does anyone know the answer to my question? Is it the LCD or the Digitizer that is the cause?

Thanks again!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
In short:

"I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but the cause of the "newton ring" effect as well as the broken touchscreen is quite simple.

Attached to the upper and lower protective layers in the digitizer of a resistive touchscreen, there are two layers of conductive film as well as a gap in between these. Here is a crude example:

----------- Protective layer

------ Conductive layer

Gap

------ Conductive layer

----------- Protective layer

When you touch the screen, the conductive layers press together and Y+X coordinates are calculated.

What can happen is that one of the conductive layers loses adhesion to the protective layer (most likely the upper one, closest to the screen surface). It'll then bubble outwards, thus causing the optical ring effect and likely also kill the touchscreen function.

There's alot of confusion as to whether this is caused by unproper handling by the user or if it's a defect in manufature. The answer is in fact, both. Some digitizers simply come out structurally weak, and break very easily (more easily than users normally expect). Many recent HTC devices seem to suffer from this. Storing the device in a tight pocket puts constant, long-term pressure on the screen and can be dangerous. But neither the manual nor the warranty conditions mention this, so it's not really the users fault."
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] spyder4:
I have read this, but I am still not 100% sure whether it was the digitizer, and ONLY the digitizer than is the culprit for the Newton Rings....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Pete_S:
I haven't suffered this thankfully, but reading the descriptions I've had the feeling that moisture might be involved. Maybe in humid conditions moisture is getting between the two layers so they stick together? Some people have described what looks like an "oily film" sticking the surfaces together.

If it is moisture, perhaps it's condensation which forms when using the phone from cold - after all, it does get heated very rapidly from cold to almost body temperature, especially if it's kept in an outside pocket in winter.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] spyder4:
I think you might be right, although the climate in Australia is not THAT cold, and it is summer here at the moment. I think the issue might be occurring from a poorly sealed unit. As far as I am concerned, condensation should not occur if a unit is sealed properly.... I have taken perfect care of my phone - it has never been wet, never been dropped, and is never out of it's protective case unless I am using it.

The duct tape method mentioned above got rid of the worst of the rings, that was stopping my typing the letter 'o' on the portrait keyboard (the 'o' was getting stuck down), but others have now appeared.

I have noticed that from work to home (about a 20 minute drive), if I sit the phone directly in front of the air conditioner, the rigs disappear for a while, so I think it is definitely a temperature based issue.

I think I will purchased a new digitizer, as I don't want another phone - I love my TD2. I might just take greater care of the temperature side of things (ie. remove it from it's case when charging etc), to keep it from getting too hot, although I don't think a device such as a phone should be this vulnerable.
