Nope, see wikipedia entry on agps. HTC uses satelite data/orbit information provided via internet; it stays accurate for about a week hence the weekly updates. your gps will work without this data, however, since it needs to calculate satelite trajectories by itself it will take longer to get a fix from cold start.

and if this help data was downloaded incorrectly, it obviously is possible that the receiver reports a wrong position. But, as stated, reloading the QuickGPS data and turning off activesync loading of the data solved the issue.

What you mean with triangualation is google maps. it gets the signal strength from neighbouring base stations and their cell ids and looks up their position in a large database online. with the base stations' exakt positions and the signal strength of each one, one is able to estimate the current position through triangulation; however since this method does not account for multipath propagation or reflection off wet walls or similar, it can only be taken as rough estimate.

Hi,

I have installed ACT v3.3 on my brand new HD2. I also used this program on my Touch Dual and I especially liked the function where you could automatically let the data connection quit after a certain amount of time.

However after enabling this setting on my HD2 it does not seem to work. Do you guys have any idea why this is the cause or do you have any suggestion for another program which does the same trick (quiting data connection after X minutes).

Hope you can help me out with this one. Thank you in advance

Yes I installed that too, without it ACT won't even launch. But I installed a spanish netcf 3.5 on a Dutch phone. But I don't think that will cause any issues.
[HD2 General] jo_iii:
Tried and tested. Works okay. I only needed it to disable threaded SMS, CAB Warnings, and Task Manager refresh rates. I guess you would be fine as long as you won't edit seemingly "outdated" tweaks, i.e. Touch Flo 3D as they now call it Sense.

Point in fact, ACT should only be editting registry entries, and display entries it finds. Which means, theoretically, it should work flawlessly for everyone pre-WP7, but I guess that's not the case for some here...

I've have spent most of the day searching and trying to sort this out with little luck.

I had IPL - V2.02

So I thought I would try and upgrade.

Bad idea.

On the boot screen I have

IPL 2.02

SPL 1.20

I've tryed to install a few different ROM's but they pull up a half black half gray fuzzy screen

I don't have SPL 3.5 so I can't install a lot of them and I've tryed to install a 1.2 ROM but its not having any of it.

What am I doing wrong?

none of it is working

I can get to the boot screen

read this thread

and its links

see cmonexs post no 14

If you follow the instructions(read the whole thread first)

you should be able to fix the invalid model id.

somewhere along the line you flashed the wrong spl and stuffed the id

don't worry , most people including myself have done this.

Oh and make sure you remove simand sd card and have a full battery before flashing

As it works perfectly without any issue ;); no freeze and perfect for a day to day use.

& a 7.5-8 to [26 NOV 09 | SEX1 R5.07]

It is good but not all X2 stuff works as it should but smooth and sleek interface and it is a 6.5.

I've tried many other but had problems (freezing, no landscape, unstable..etc)

another 9/10 for [2009-12-09][WWE][ROM] Touch X 10.9.1 (WM6.1/Manila 2.1.19202517) NUTS!

I have a couple of minor issues with the weather tab in this ROM, but they are minor. It is a stunning piece of work. It has Sense (Manila 2.1) on WM6.1, a very good compromise of Manila features and 6.1 speed/stability.

I would also give a 8/10 for its predecessor, 10.8.1 Very fast and stable, one point less since the Manila version is not as pretty :cool:

I would give 6/10 for Itje's Touch IT 10.4 I reflashed it a few times, but it was never particularly stable for me.

(Once flashed, I customise with a lot of different apps)

It may be an unfair comment, but look at the number of pages each ROM thread has. This is a fair indication of popularity. Also, I'm pretty sure there is a similar thread to this, already.

I would give Touch-It BL Landscape 9/10 points if it was a bit more stable and if TomTom would work on it!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] baadnewz:
not quite:

1st videoplayback is almost as is not working

2nd the included opera does not support hardware keyboard, you must install another version on top of the already cooked one

3nd the soft keyboard has a major bug when you add a number to contact it gets stucked in numerical mode and you must edit registry to get it back.

However is a matter of tastes and how you use ur phone daily. The most stable roms are those with manila 2.1 and winmo 6.5 build 218xxx or winmo 6.1

Valkyrie is ok but suffers from SoD but some users here are making progress in ironing this out

EnergyRom is ok too, especially the one w/ manila 2.1, for 2.5 you have to install sms client / patch it and also you'll not have manila docs working

A very good rom if you dont care for manila is X2 ported rom from jerpelea

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] emuX:
What do you call 'best'?!

I've been a fan of the EnergyROM "Leo" series for a while (if you want Manila.) They seemed to be reliable and stuffed full of eye candy.

Not NRGZ28's fault but the Leo Manila has been pretty buggy for ages and I got fed up with it and went back to the PURE WM6.5 that was released on 26 Nov 2009. Its been faultless and I'd recommend it if you simply want WinMo 6.5 on your X1. I've used it since its release date without any problems.

Over Xmas I got caught up in the X2 excitement and have installed jerpelea's 'test' ROMs. His 007 is the first 'FINAL' build I can live with (the earlier ones kept hanging on me) but its full of X2 eye candy and functionality and I'm finding it runs better over time - weird but true.

Depends what you mean by 'best' I suppose, TF3D ROMs have the HTC look and feel but are generally a bit buggy, a clean WM6.5 has the new WinMo look and feel and should be more reliable, and an X2 ROM is likely to be buggy but have the new Xperia eye candy!

EDIT: Whatever ROM you flash, make sure you hard-reset afterwards to give it a fighting chance of performing well! Personally I tend to hard-reset a couple of times as I've had some issues when only doing it the once with some custom ROMs.

Whats the best WM 6.5 rom 21xxx version with manila 2.1?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] oftiklaus:
There' no best ROM out there...

The best ROM is the one you like and feel confortable with.

I've long been a fan of Manilla, be it 2, 2.1 or 2.5 Leo/Sense.

As far as stability and battery life is concerned I found the older versions of Energy (september) and the 3.8 versions of valkyrie to be more to my liking; the current line-up from both cooks are still fine though.

Unfortunately, most of the "improvements" come not with tweaks to stabilize the existing ROM, but generaly consist of updates, upgrades and new applications = new bugs/issues;

I am by no means disrespectfull, on the contrary, I am gratefull for the immense contribution of these cooks to the community.

After some dissapointing isuues with 3 Leo versions (ijte, valkyrie and energy) I am very happy with jerpelea's X2 007 (not that it is bug free but I find it fast and usable).

Good luck hunting out there and support the chefs!;)

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] djdexter247:
For 100% bug free, fast and stable you need to be looking at older ROM's i.e. WM 6.1 and you also need to define whether you want Manila or just WM. There are so many different variations you cannot just say 'which is best'. It always depends on what you as the user want.

I have tried many diferent ROM's, mainly Agent 47, NRG and Itje but have always migrated back to Agents ones as I find they suit me better but I like the cutting edge stuff, Manila 2.5 is my favourite UI so I am definately into Valkyrie Leo 23517.

The only way is to try a few and see which one you like but be warned you could turn into a flashaholic!

Hi,

I've checked these forums but can't find any obvious answer.

I previously had ROM version 1.48 where I was able to program a hard button long press of the answer call key.... SO I used a long press to bring up the task manager.

But with ROM 1.61 this seems to have disappeared.

i.e. If I go into Start -> Settings -> Menu -> All Settings -> Personal -> Buttons

A button was there for me to assign a task. But this seems to have disappeared.

Without having to install any other application (such as AE Buttons) is there any known way of creating a shortcut to a hard button ?

Perhaps a registry hack ?
