Ok, so I am one of those people that don't have a data plan with their G1.

I was just wondering if it is possible for me to download and cache Google Maps on my microSD card. Since the GPS on my device still works, I could use it and the cached maps to get my location/address/etc.

Anyone know if this is possible?
[G1 General] evilkorn:
No, it is not.
[G1 General] eleminop:
you can cache maps with Big Planet
[G1 General] nahanee20:
i cant find it in the market

so if i cache the maps i can only use the app big planet to view them right? is there any way to get the google maps app working with the cached maps so i can use the navigation?

Probably not.

I'm not happy with the sense shell, and have been searching for something that will suit my needs better.

I've tried spbMobileShell, thats a little too complicated, things were just too hard to find.

I found winterface, very similar to what I want, but not apparently for wm6.5.

Also there's throttle launcher, I'm about to try that out.

Ideally what I would like is an iphone type interface instead of wm6.5, I had the iphone for 18 months but hated it's keyboard, so dont tell me to go back to one.

I do like the keyboard on the HD2, it IS easier than the iphone, even more so with swype.

Can anyone suggest a shell or ui that can simulate the iphone, multiple screens, and the ability to add or delete shortcuts, and to rearrange them?.

Thanks for any help.
[HD2 General] g.lewarne:
not that i have looked, but i think it unlikely that anyone would want to create an iPhone shell for WM. you best off looking at one of the pocket pc freeware sites. dont hold your breath.
[HD2 General] doubleburgerbarr:
>>i think it unlikely that anyone would want to create an iPhone shell for WM

Really ?, I think the exact opposite. I'm not suggesting it's perfect, but it is relativley easy to use, intuitive, and easy to add or remove icons.

I dont want a clone, but something similar would be nice to try out.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Try PointUI Home. It's perfect for what you want as it can be as simple or as difficult as you want. You'll need to get any extras from the community on their site, and you'll have to register for that (free). The software is free, or you can pay and get a few extra features enabled.

I have just noticed this and a bit annoyed

I am setting up family/friends birthdays on my HTC HD 2 and ive noticed an error

HTC Calendar

Birthday say 18th December 2010

Repeat every 18th December

For somereaosn it won't show anything against this date in the month/week view.

To get it to work you have to go into the windows calendar under start etcand put it in there and then you can see it in the htc calendar

VERY STRANGE, CAN SOMEONE TRY IT FOR ME

Edit/Delete Message
[HD2 General] MidnightDraven:
same issue.

I set it up with the correct details, but didnt add the repeat.

It added it to htc calendar. then go and edit, adding the repeat, and it stays there.
[HD2 General] lee2305:
Yeah tried that and it works but you shouldn't have to do this.
[HD2 General] plummybg:
It was impossible for me to set and quarterly appointment. Any suggestions?
[HD2 General] Rhyn0:
noticed the same, and found somewhat of a fix.

Set the appointment for the day you want it without repeat. then edit it and turn repeat on with the frequency that you wish. it should work.

Also, if you tried to put a repeating appointment and nothing appearead, check 1st of janyary 2011, with my phone i had all the failed attempts magically moved there.
[HD2 General] amang2205:
I had a similar problem.

Tried to save a friend's birthday on December 15th. So it was an all-day event, recurring every 15th of Dec., status free. Result? I couldn't see it... I gave it up to 5-6 tries, as far as I remmbered.

However, I've later realised that all of the 6 or whatever shots were saved... on January 15th!

I've notified HTC about this. They said they'll look into it!

In my opinion, it's worth you'll let them know as well ;)
[HD2 General] alex fung:
Is there any way to quickly jump to a date? I can only scroll it day by day or month by month.
[HD2 General] Rhyn0:
hit menu, then select year, then click on a month
[HD2 General] fray_bentos:
Another person with the same problem - a really annoying bug. As Rhyn0 said all the appointments have been created on the right date, just in January 2011.

This is with the 1.66 ROM - where do i send a bug report? - EDIT: emailed them about it.
[HD2 General] d3l1:
same here, appointments are there (myphone and standard calendar recognize them) but htc calendar is not showing anything on that particular day.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
if you add a birthday to a contact, that shows up where it should.
[HD2 General] d3l1:
I'm sorry, what do you mean? most of my contacts have birthdays and I use b2c (birthday2calendar) to add them as appointments, which works fine, except that now I don't see them in my htc calendar (neither do I see manually added appointments). But they are there, so it must be a bug in htc calendar.

Hi all

If you are like me and flashed few new ROMs with new MANILA then you have experienced bug which is removed "Set Destination" button in Digital Compass APP.there is Dutty's CAB out there to fix this but when i installed it it was still searching for GPS even though no destination was set.so i have made a cab which works just fine.just like we know it from stock ROMs.

Install:

Disable MANILA

Install CAB

Soft Reset

Enjoy

NOTE:

If you are not experiencing any trouble with Dutty's CAB there is no need to upgrade.

Link:

Because i was unable to upload it here to XDA i had to put in on Rapidshare.

No...you just go into Settings, click Menu at the bottom, choose All Settings, click on the Today icon, choose Items at the bottom and uncheck HTC Sense. You need to check Windows Default, though. Or it will reset back to Sense, I believe.

I have the Digital Compass on my T-Mobile Leo but I don't have the Distination botton. I tried installing your cab and has the same problem.

Is it possible to make the map in the compass (google earth) showed the view from satellite? I didn`t find that function.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] igoivo:
It is quite strange to me that HTC HD2 manual describes the features which are ABSENT in the phone with the OFFICIAL ROM. Such as "Destination" button in the DigitalCompass application in the newest 3.14.xxx.x ROM.

Why not to describe in the manual that phone can fly ? or has 3D video output ?

PS: I tried old *.cabs described here to fix the compass navigation function and found that none of them works without problem with new Manila 2.5.2018xxx installed at 3.14.xxx.x official ROM

Check out the cyanogenmod wiki. Specifically, read this article:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1_to_CyanogenMod

This will work. Remember that you can only run 32A ROMs, or, like with cyanogenmod, you have to flash a 32A port file after flashing the correct 32B ROM. Read through that wiki, it should help 100%.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kud0s:
As many have already reported. It is not rogers making it harder. Rooting is dead simple on magic and then you can use any 32a Rom you want. Delete the files. Remember to follow them exactly. If they say to unzipped it, but if they don't mention unzipping the file....leave it. Probably one of the most common mistakes....yet one of the easiest ti fix.

Running cursorsense 1. 0 because 1.6 doesn't have as pretty of an interface and Google goggles and pretty crumby navigation were not worth it.
[Touch HD General] jdoherty76:
I recently purchased an HD touch which was originally on the UK Orange Network. I then unlocked this and placed my UK O2 sim into the phone. THis already had Duttys Xtreme V2.1 installed. All Appears to be running okay but when I receive MMS msgs they are postage size images. Possibly because this is not an O2 phone or one which they sell on their network then this could be the problem.

I am not sure if this has been raised previously and I tried searching on XDA but could not find anything obvious. But there must be other UK O2 users out there that have resolved this same issue?

Senior member Senab kindly pointed me to a link on www.4mobile.com which may address this failing.

Does anyone know if there is a cab which makes the relevant registry changes to allow a quick and easy method of overlaying the necessary registry entries after a re-flash of a different rom?

This would ensure that anytime a different rom is applied then I'd automatically need to execute the MMS cab to allow normal sized images to be received. Any help, advice or information would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance JD76..

Tried 3 first as I reckoned it was more likely to work, and it did. Previous message was 4k, changed reg, rebooted and resent the message and it was delivered to me at 82k - which is a distinct improvement.

exported .reg attached (rename to .reg) - a click in total commander should install it, also pop in the sashimi reg folder for the next flash.

Can't work out how to make a cab.
[Touch HD General] jdoherty76:
Thank you jontelfer really appreciated. Is it just a matter of downloading and renaming and running. I don't have total commander will regedit do the same? can you clarify what you meant by the following: 'also pop in the sashimi reg folder for the next flash' ??? thanks again jd..
[Touch HD General] jontelfer:
I can't remember if the standard filemanager will let you run the .reg file unfortunately. If you've got regedit open you might as well change the entries yourself.

The Sashimi comment refers to a package that will automate the reinstall of all your favourite cabs once you've flashed a new rom. Pretty usefull if you're into that kind of thing.

Hi there,

I have a problem involving my SIM card. Well the card itself works fine, tested it on my old phone, but my Hero won't find the SIM for some reason. I think it might be the mechanic system where you insert the card(having a hard time putting it in other words due to my bad english knowlegde:P). Anyone got experience with this? Maybe I just oughta go back to the store, but might as well give it a first try here.

Some extra information: it worked first of, and i think it endured all night working, and then all of a sudden my phone says there is no SIM inserted. Yesterday I had the same and i put in the card again and it read it with no problems.

I've tried re-inserting the card and turning on and off my phone a couple of times, but it don't seem to be doing any good.

It also seems to me the me entrance of the card(hope you understand lol)

is leaning a bit up, instead of pushing the card to the reader.

Hope i've been clear enough and you might be able to give me some advice!

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawry:
This stumped me for a few hours too a few days ago; as in i spent a few hours googling how it might be locked to a network when it is unlocked!?

in the end I realised that the cage the sim card sits in needs to be pushed to the left to lock it in place (ie keep it in contact). If you dont lock it in and just let the battery hold it down it looses contact when it vibrates and then displays the no service or no sim message.

Hope this helps?
