I can barely go a full day and have to charge it at night.

Is anyone else getting really poor battery life? I have Wi-Fi on a lot but with screen off just so it automatically gets my push e-mails. Could this be the reason?

Hi All - I tried to make a goldcard for rooting my HTC Hero (Three UK with latest ROM) over the weekend, but had no luck - it seems the memory card I own (an 8gb Kingston card from ebay, so may be a fake) doesn't work.

Can anyone recommend a memory card brand & size that will *definitely* work for creating a goldcard?

Thanks for any help :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harroguk:
The 2GB one that is packaged with the phone works fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
+1. The stock 2GB one is a known good one. Kingston 2GBs also supposedly work, but I can't personally vouch for it (never had to use one in anger- my phone came with HBOOT 004)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arimozuki:

I know it doesn't address the goldcard issue, but try these updated instructions to flash a custom recovery.

HI,

I'm new to HTC and Windows mobile having come from iphone. I have a few teething problems and could do with some assistance. I have searched the forums but can't quite find the answers I'm looking for.

I've synced my Gmail account but it won't retrieve my old mail, how do I do this?

How do I find files that I have dragged on dropped into the "my documents" folder on my phone. I've dragged a folder of documents inc. word docs, excell and pdf's but I can't find them on the phone. How do I open these files using excel etc on the phone?

How do I add personal ringtones for my contacts?

I have read somewhere on here about an issue when making/receiving calls where the screen turns back on and your ear starts pressing all sorts of buttons/apps, has there been a fix for this and where do I find it as my phone has been doing this?

Cheers
[HD2 General] snerkler:
I've figured out how to add personal ringtones, so that question doesn't need answering now.
[HD2 General] rumpleforeskin:
to recieve old emails on your gmail account you need to change how far back you would like mail retrieved. this option can be found like this

email tab, any email account, press inbox, press menu, press tools, press options

now choose the account you want to edit

pick send/recieve schedule

now you can amend your sync settings

to assign a ring tone to a particular contact:

press start, press contacts, pick the contact you wish to edit, press menu, press edit

now find the ringtone field and add the tone you desire

As for finding editing files you should download a file explorer, total commander is popular and free

Resco explorer is better (my opinion only as its more finger friendly) but is not free

hope some of this helps
[HD2 General] snerkler:
Yes, big help, many thanks. Is it possible to set your email accounts so that everytime you go into the email it automatically checks for new mail rather than going into the menus and pressing send/receive? I've figured out how to change how often it checks for new mail, ie every 15 mins etc, but I would also like it to automatically check for new mail if I go into my emails

Does anyone know about the screen coming on whilst taking a call issue?
[HD2 General] snerkler:
Having more problems with Gmail. The advice above worked for my inbox, but on my googlemail on my laptop I have different folders for different mail. I can't get these folders to sync with the HD2. I tried the same as above but no joy. Any help?
[HD2 General] DMAND:
There should be an option for manage folders in that tools menu, where you can pick which folders to synce (I had to add one of my hotmail folders this way) should be the same for gmail I think.
[HD2 General] snerkler:
Yeah there is, but I've done that already and it's still not syncing :(
[HD2 General] alex fung:
How exactly do you drop to "my documents"? Do you drop to Computer\HD2\\\My Documents using the Windows explorer, or using other methods?

Normally you don't need to search for a file. Drop a Word document somewhere? Open Word, and File Open lists all the Word documents no matter where they are. Most applications have this type of pan-location file-open dialogue.
[HD2 General] snerkler:
I open up my phone's card storage from "computer" on my laptop's start menu, and then simply drag files from my laptop to the "my documents" folder on the phone's card storage. I can open them using file explorer on the phone, but if I go into excel I can't figure out how to open them. When I open excel mobile it displays a blank spreadsheet and I can't figure out how to open files. Can you help?
[HD2 General] NeilM:
This is a (stupid) limitation of the WinMo file system :(

Pocket Office programs only look in the 1st tree branch of files on a storage card- so files in Storage Card/My Documents will be listed, but files in any My Documents subfolders won't.

Files in main memory can look one level lower (ie My Documents/Business)

So, if your files are smallish in size, you may be better to store them in main memory as long as you don't have more than one level of My Documents subfolders.

Another option would be to create a shortcut to the folder holding your files in File Explorer. Tapping file names direct from explorer opens them in the linked program.
[HD2 General] snerkler:
That is a strange limitation. Perhaps they may address this issue with winmo7?

How do I create shortcuts, do I do this on the phone, or active sync on the laptop?
[HD2 General] NeilM:
It's a bit of a kludge, but if you decide which folder you want to create the shortcut for, navigate to that using File Explorer on the HD2, then Tap/Hold on the folder name and select Copy from the context menu

Now navigate to My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs; use the keyboard to move the cursor to any item that isn't a subfolder, and then go Menu/Edit/Paste Shortcut. This will place an entry in Programs pointing to your subfolder, called 'Shortcut to...' You can rename this to remove the 'Shortcut to..' bit, or call it something more representative.

Once it's in Programs, you could then assign one of the 9 program shortcut tiles on the home page to this shortcut. Executing it will open File Explorer at your subfolder, from where you can open any of the files.
[HD2 General] snerkler:
wow, that's a process and a half :eek:

Ok so did exactly what you said and I get an error message saying

"The file "x" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. IF the problem persists try reinstalling or restoring this file"

What do I do now?

Also how do I remove things from the start menu?
[HD2 General] NeilM:
If you press the Windows hardware key, can you see your new 'shortcut' there? If you press it, do you get the same error message?

It might be that the HTC Sense shortcut can't open a folder- if so I'm a bit stuck for further ideas! You could look at a program called Launchpad . This installs itself as a program launcher and is opened by pressing the top left of the taskbar- it has a number of configurable shortcuts, which can include folders and subfolders. At $3.99 it is an excellent program, though I appreciate it is a bit rich to expect to have to pay for something that ought to be in the default OS :)

[Edit: I wrote a review of Launchpad Here ! ]
[HD2 General] snerkler:
Yeah I got the same message. No worries, I'll just have to open them through file explorer. Cheers
[HD2 General] NeilM:
OK- must be a limitation of the system! Works OK with Resco File Explorer rather than the built-in one!

Might be worth a look at Launchpad- it does make life easier for a lot of program or settings launches :)
[HD2 General] alex fung:
That's strange. I've never seen a blank sheet on excel mobile. When I start excel, it goes directly to the fileopen screen, showing me a list of xls(x) files on the device.

If you are looking at a sheet, tap OK (top right) to close it. You'll go back to the fileopen screen.
[HD2 General] NeilM:
If there are no existing files for that program, Pocket Office will start with a new blank document. You only see the list once there is at least one existing file.
[HD2 General] snerkler:
Thanks, didn't realise that. HOwever, it still won't recognise files probably due to the subfolder system mentioned by NeilM. I will try adding the files to the business folder later and see what happens
[HD2 General] Serge35:
Hi,

I have recently installed a clean ROM without every email settings (I don't have Tools in the inbox menu). In missing settings, there are 2 importants for me:

- Signature (to teplace the HTC default one). I have changed the registry entry HKLM/Software/HTC/Signature but nothing changes.

- The storage time of emails on the device (7 days, 1 month...)

Does anyone know where are these settings stored on the device (registry, files).

Bye
[HD2 General] Serge35:
No idea?

Perhaps the name of the exe file to launch to get these settings?

Thx
[HD2 General] Richy99:
why not change the signature via the options rather than registry?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Signature Has two keys,

Default with no value set and

Name holds the signature text as a string

Not sure about the storage time, tho, sorry.
[HD2 General] Archer:
I'm a bit lost by the "storage time" question. My phone simply shows me 50 emails and that's it. If I didn't get any for a year then the same 50 emails would still be there next year.
[HD2 General] pat12:
use the Windows application instead of the HTC application and you will have access to all available settings
[HD2 General] Serge35:
Thx Pat12 but how to access Windows application instead of the HTC application?

Regards
[HD2 General] alex fung:
Why don't to set these after you created your first email account. Then the options are readily available.
[HD2 General] pat12:
There are two ways of doing this, the easiest way is to bypass completely the HTC Sence Email application by using either : Start -> Email or Windows hardware button -> Email

Another way is when you use the HTC application, on the first screen (with the memo-like emails displayed) click the left soft button (More) and there you are! Windows inbox !

Now, click Menu, scroll to the bottom (3 items are hidden)

Tools -> Settings -> Select your account and go from there

Is there someone capable of porting the program sleep cycle to the windows mobile platform?

Ive noticed that it is available for the iphone’s and also on android devices.

Many people use it it it seems to work pretty fine according to the reviews and people I spoke.

I think if someone is able to port it or so that we can have a winner ap for the windows mobile phones, bur unfortunately I don’t have the knowledge

To do so, so that is the reason for the request.

Anyone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] holzbaer:
Hi,

I am sorry, i am not able to do this, but I want to place a second app which does so: It's called WakeMate and is available for WinMo too. It seems to work with some kind of a Bluetooth Wristband which is only available through purchasing it.

I would love to have an app like those but with the built in g-sensor!

regs
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] skyli91:
I would also like to have an app like this too! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Iamdabobo:
WakeMake: $50

Sleep Cycle: $1

WakeMake: obnoxious bracelet

Sleep Cycle: nothing

WakeMake: not available yet

Sleep Cycle: available now

see the differences here?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] snipah33:
Yep i see the difference.

The wake mate should be more reliable, but youre forced to use a bracelet to use it and it will cost you.

Sleepcycle is free, probatly less reliable or accurate, but free or with minimal expences and it seems to work.

But not here for winmobile, or do you mean that is also available for windows mobile? coz you mentioned: available now..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bubbas1:
yeah sleep cycle is great

sleep cycle works just great with iphone.

i'd love to see that for wm too :)

it's really a gread idea to use the accelerometers to measure movements during sleep to get the current sleep cycle of a person and use that for a "soft" awakening :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ch3zyp00fs:
This would be a great app. I would use this every night to get that optimum sleep. If it was good enough, I'd even fork over some money for it.
[Nexus One General] philliplavelle:
Just throwing this one out there but wondering how people in the UK are getting on with the text-to-speech function.

I have an English accent and no matter what I do (change it from American to British in the menu, change it from slow to fast and everything in between), it just is terrible at figuring out what I am saying.

It seems a lot better when I am doing a quick internet search as I figure it then tried to match what I've said to other internet searches on Google's servers so that works ok. But when it comes to dictating text in an email or a text message, forget it. It just can't figure out a word of what I'm saying which is annoying because this is the feature I would use mostly.

In the menu options, there is an option to install a language setting but on my N1, that's just greyed out so I can't click on it..

Wondered if any other Brits are having the same problems and what they're doing to get it working.

(Incidentally, I did switch it back to American English, then spoke in a fake - and terrible quality - US accent and it was a lot more responsive but I feel like a bit of a buerk doing this!!)
[Nexus One General] jamesyb0i:
Lol this could make for some good comedic sketch
[Nexus One General] dave-on-android:
I could be wrong, but I would have thought that the Text to Speech options would apply to that - text to speech, rather than the text entry by voice which would be Speech to Text?

That said, I can't find anywhere to tweak the speech recognition - probably because it's done remotely by Google. I do know that if you have any way for the phone to detect your location enabled that it'll expect to hear a local accent.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Lemme guess, down South?

Everyone has an accent, even if the southern one (mine included) is what's considered generic England.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Cripes, if someone can't pick out a midlands accent they need their head looking at :D
[Nexus One General] philliplavelle:
Cripes.. Forgive me - that was a typo.. I meant speech-to-text...

My accent is very softly scouse but 90% accentless following years of living in London. It really does throw up a few weird matches!
[Nexus One General] TonyHoyle:
I don't have an accent.. if's all those other places that do :D

Mine is probably a mixture of north cheshire and lancashire.. very mild by most accounts. The voice recognition is absolutely comically bad for me.

I remember similar conversions when the voice search first came out. I would have thought Google would have added options for different countries (ideally for regions given the variations that exist) but they haven't.
[Nexus One General] shuflie:
They should really have some sort of standard training phrases to calibrate the phone to your accent. Not so sure about the spoken quotation either, would be much better if it could distinguish pauses and long pauses during speech input.
[Nexus One General] iVisionX01:
Should have waited for the Vodaphone version ;)
[Nexus One General] vas41:
Not going to make a diference as speech to text uses google's server side to function. Let alone the phone itself has proper English (UK) localisation among many others.
[Nexus One General] dave-on-android:
Heheh :)

I wasn't trying to nitpick - my point was that there *is* no configuration for speech to text, just text to speech. Altering the speed and language for TTS is unlikely to affect speech recognition, though I may be wrong.

The only useful suggestion I have might to be to ensure you have UK English set up as your system locale and your keyboard locale. No idea if it'll make a difference, but it's worth a go!

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Not that I'm aware of. AFAIK, the USB port is pretty much directly connected to the battery terminals (obviously not literally, but through some hardwired control electronics to monitor voltages and stop charging when full).

I doubt it is possible to do so, and I don't think you'll do it any damage (I reckon the battery will cope)

Paul O'Brien (Modaco) made superboot.img for Tattoo

His method is simply - he compiled kernel and added script to copy su into system

Installation is:

adb-windows shell reboot oem-78

choice /T 10 /C ON /D O > NUL

fastboot-windows boot tattoo.superboot.img

fastboot-windows reboot

then need install superuser.apk and get phone rooted.

But, it doesn't work on all tattoo's

So... anyway, it will be good idea to do same.
