Been using Handcent for a few months and it works great for me and love the features and its a huge improvment over the stock app. I have never used Chop so I cant say. I might give it a try and see how I like it. And whats this Go SMS about? I have never heard of it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] 1tondiesel:
I've used them all.....Go sms is the best

Gonna try this Go SMS and see how I like it. :)

Yep Go SMS is FTW! :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] rubyknight:
Hehe, total noobie too these forums but I've tried and payed for almost all of them and Go SMS beats them all, by a long shot. The same Dev is making a half decent launcher too(I like Launcher Pro better, but Go Launcher is updating fast).

All of the features and options with better themes, speeds, and less bloat. Love it.:D

Go SMS

I was a long time user of Handcent but got tired of all the lags. Been using Go SMS for a month now and I love. It has all the functions of Handcent, it's faster and it has themes!!

If you haven't tired Go SMS yet...you should

I still like handcent the best (on the hero that is ;))
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kfunk:
I've gotta say - I have become a fan of Go SMS as well. This coming from a long time handcent user as well.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Hippie459MN:
I have been using Handcent for some time and while I loved it, I am giving GoSMS a try and so far I like it. I am being fair and going to use it for a good while before I decide if I stay with it or go back. Like they say, not everyone like change but after a while they like it. I love GoSMS so far but they each have some very minor trade offs.

Go SMS

I was a long time user of Handcent and even recommended it to all my android friends. But after i started using GO SMS, i quickly got rid of Handcent and my HeroC running CM6.1 has been faster than ever.

I even started using Go Launcher which is made by the same developer.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] zeropants:
I've used Hancent and Chomp, I'm giving Go a shot now. So far so good. Not that much different than the others...possibly a bit quicker but I could be imagining it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] sk8goofy:
Hells yeah!

Handcent hands down baby!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Hippie459MN:
I uninstalled Handcent for GoSMS for about a month and the other day I found myself going back to Handcent. It just has all the options and features that work best for me and looks great doing it too. :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jckeyser:
Handcent still for me, but once in awhile I go back to GO to see if it has some more themes. It is a contender.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] GeezyAF:
How can you guys use handcent with how laggy the popup is?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Hippie459MN:
Handcent is not laggy at all on my phone. :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Faluzure:
I used to use ChompSMS almost exclusively until that app got bloated to hell. I switched to Handcent and I've been happy with it so far (hardly any lagginess).

Of course I would use the stock Messages app but my only problem is that there isn't a way to blacklist text messages like you can in Chomp/Handcent.

That's the only reason I'm using a 3rd party app.

For some reason the drop down task manager menu has disappeared. I cannot find a way to activate it. I have one of the last of dutty's roms. I cannot find in the settings area a choice about this drop down menu. I searched the forum haven't found an answer. I have installed other task managers but nothing changes.

Thanks in advance
[HD2 General] Espentf:
Hi! I'm going to buy myself a HD2, but the cheapest ones in Norway are the ones with Norwegian menus etc. Quite a lot cheaper tbh. I've had an Xperia X1 untill now, and that was in English, which I liked a bit better than the Norwegian one.

But the question is: Are there any actual pros and cons in having an English version rather than a Norwegian one (or any other language for that matter)? or is it just a preference thing?
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
I guess it depends on whether you can read/write in either Norwegian or English.

There shouldnt be any difference other than the language.
[HD2 General] Espentf:
Okay, so I take it there won't be any difference in the way of installing applications of funkyness in other languages etc?

Then I might just give the Norwegian one a shot after all. Even though English just sounds better in my head ^^
[G1 General] 88five-oh:
I know its a general android problem that apps open themselves in the background, but ever since i updated to manups 2.1 1.5 it seems like more apps, aka all of them are doing that at bootup...

i open advance task manager and my mem is down to 15 right from bootup then i kill em all and its at 35...

is there anyway to make it so unless i allow an app to run in the background, it won't?

because it starts bugging me when i have to kill all these apps several times a day i never open (namely amazon mp3 store which keeps force closing and popping up windows even though i've never once opened it on my own) and everything else runs too...
[Nexus One General] thalib_atc:
Does anyone know how to insert ringtones and message alerts in to the main [ root ] directory of nexus one
[Nexus One General] samhein:
put a directory on the sd card /Media/Audio/Ringtones and stick em in there

/Media/Audio/Alarms and /Media/Audio/Notifications
[Nexus One General] timothydonohue:
you could just make a 'ringtones' and a 'notifications' folder on the root of the sd card. no need to make the long path. mount your sd card via usb, drag whatever you want into those folders, unmount the sd card. should be available. if not, then turn the power off and on on the phone, they should be there now. btw, the ringer titles come from the 'title' field of the ringer, under properties, not the file name
[Nexus One General] stewart1988:
Also make a folder called Alarms and put in your mp3s to use as an Alarm :)

"AT&T needs to spend $5 Billion to catch up

by Dave Freeman on January 20, 2010

With all the crap that’s gone on (and still going on) between AT&T and Verizon, it’s safe to say that this is the last thing AT&T wanted to come out. According to a study that just came out, AT&T would have to spend approximately $5 billion US to get their network to the same level as Verizon and Sprint.

This probably doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone who actually owns an AT&T phone, given the almost constant problems with dropped calls, spotty service, and slow data speeds. The study also admits that AT&T has started to upgrade their infrastructure, particularly in the Bay Area, with positive results. This makes sense give the nature of their agreement with Apple."

[Via PCWorld]

I guess this explains a lot of the probelms that I've been having with connections and data speed.

That's strange... which radio are you using? There is a radio upgrade as part of the 6.5 updgrade. I tested the upgrade a few days ago and everything was working fine (except for all the stock stuff being there).
[Touch HD General] devdarshan:
My Touch HD is frozen....was using fine so many days - suddenly overnight - I can no longer use. The whole unit is unresponsive.

Tried the following:

Soft reset...got stuck on the home screen after boot....

Hard Reset....boots then stuck in align screen

ROM Flash...tried 6.1, 6.5 flashes...then boots then stuck in align screen

Official ROM Flash...flashed..then boots then stuck in align screen...

I am out of ideas - what to try next...can someone give me idea what could be the problem - I think my fone is still on Warranty - I bought it on August 2008. SO I will probably need to send for repairs! Will need to put back stock SPL etc...before I send it...

When the fone is stuck on align screen and I link the fone to my Laptop the activesync starts - and I can browse the folders on the fone - that's about it!

Is there any way I can bypass the align screen part - so I can see if the rest of the fone works.

Gosh! how much will it cost to get this sorted?

Please someone give me some ideas on what I can do to get this resolved.

thanks

[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Have you tried flashing orginal stock rom which came with device. Has been known to fix a multitude of problems.

Also you can bypass align screen. Read alternative solution halfway down first post in this thread, though it does require copying a file to your sd card
[Touch HD General] devdarshan:
Thanks Spartan

Yes - I have flashed with the official ROM - same issue got stuck in the Align Screen.

Then I tried the welcome.not procedure to bypass the align screen and it crossed that stage and now I can see the home screen - but none of the screen functions work, not even the four buttons below - phone, home, <- and the end key. I tried the volume key and it bought up the volume screen, and sound is OK as i change the volume - rest nothing is working.

I can receive calls but I cannot pick up - since there is no response from the screen.

I was wondering if there is a way to install some app on it so I can use the PC to control the functions? all I want to do is to make sure I have all the stock and details before I send it out for repairs.

Any idea what the problem could be and how much it would cost to repair? will it be covered under warranty?

Thanks/DD
[Touch HD General] devdarshan:
I managed to install MyMobiler - and can use the functions using my laptop - which would imply something wrong with the screen and due to that it's not responding. Voice is OK, incoming outgoing is OK....

Any ideas if this repair will be under the warranty? how much it will cost?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
If device is still in warranty period it should be covered. If you can access bootloader you can check whether or not you have stock SPL and Splash screen should tell you what build of rom your using, which should be enough to confirm if you have stock rom on device
[Touch HD General] devdarshan:
Thanks Spartan.

Looks like it's send to HTC for repairs for me. Hopefully it wil be covered by warranty.

Does it make a difference which Stock SPL i need to have I have been reviewing the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=431217 for stock SPL and see different versions.

I have already flashed the Official ROM which incldes the radio RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe

so which SPL shoud I flash - or can I just flash the last one SPL154?

[Touch HD General] devdarshan:
Hi Spartan

One final question....I am sending off my HD for warranty repairs and want to make sure I am OK. I have replaced stock SPL and also flashed the official ROM and the details are as per below:

When I check bootloader - I see the following:

BLAC100 32M

SPL-1.54.0000

MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6

When I boot the HD normally - I see the following in the bottom during startup:

R 1.13.25.24

G 52.62.25.34U

D 1.56.00.00

Due to the screen freezing, I am unable to check the ROM version etc - but I have used the following to Flash.

RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe

Can you please confirm - if this is OK (in terms of sending to HTC for repairs) as I am unable to go into the unit (screen frozen) none of the buttons except volume working. Have tried everything.

Thank you for all the help.

HD Frozen "Same Problem"

I have exactly the same problem "Copy cat" of what've suffered lately but I noticed something in my touch screen that when you look at it with 180 angle you see that there is something wrong with screen colored...

I think the problem from degitizer...........

Please give me the solution how to get out from the align screen as it keep repeating many times...

Thanks
[Touch HD General] stuntdouble:
Well I'd imagine if you had turned the phone 180 degrees, you'd be staring at the back and not be able to see the screen. :D

I read somewhere that you can skip the align screen by holding volume up and down buttons and tapping the screen.

I mean to look at the screen horizontaly ;)

I did by holding volume - + with tapping the screen, but it doesn't work

Newton ring

Looks like you have something like a Newton Ring (search the forum for more info).

I also had one unit with this problem and I fixed it without replacing the touch panel, but it requires you to have some hardware skills... that is if your device is not warranty covered.

You have to heat up a little bit the touch panel using a hot air soldering station and gently lift the first layer of the touch panel to allow the air to go inside. But I have to warn you that you could easily damage your touch panel!
[Touch HD General] devdarshan:
Extract the file and place this welcome.not file in the root of the SD Card and hard reset and it will bypass the Align screen segment....

Thanks Spartan - really appreciate you taking time to provide answers - fingers crossed - lets see how it goes!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpopgt:
Hello there,

I installed Hspl a few days ago on my Virgin HD2 and have tried a few custom roms on it but i am sure this phone is faulty as it randomly crashes on all the roms i have tested.

My brother received this phone also and he has tried the custom roms and his is fine so i am planning on sending it back for an exchange.

I have read the instructions for uninstaling Hspl and watched the video so i downloaded the rom from the official HTC site and extracted the RUU_signed.nbh and renamed it to LEOIMG.nbh but when i hold the volume button down and press power on to load the LEOIMG.nbh off the memory card...it gets to the loading screen then shows me the screen with the SPL-1.42.HSPL on it.

I am a Noob so i am probably doing something wrong

Can anybody help me out please?

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy cat:
You need a GoldCard. You can not only put the "LEOIMG.nbh" on it. It will not work. Create a GoldCard, follow the instruduction and it will work fine.

Your wrong... If he has HSPL, which he has, he can simply put the "leoimg.nbh" on the root on the memory card... Then, while turning it on, hold down the "volume down" button... That's what's HSPL is for...Remember to format the memory card in fat32... If you don't it won't work... The card that comes with the HD2 is formatted in fat16... Use fat32!

Edit:

Here is the "official" guide:

4) Uninstallation

Only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from SD card.

- Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.

- Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"

- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.

But again... Remember to format your sd card in fat32.

My card is formatted to Fat 32.....i switch the phone off then hold down on the volume then press power on...first the screen shows me the SPL-1.42.HSPL then "Loading" shows then it shows the SPL-1.42.HSPL again.

Hi

Do a hard reset

Take 2gb card and format fat32 and download the rom from htc site using your serial number because You got the HD2 from Virgin uk means that it is factory unlocked and unbranded.

Extract the downloaded rom and rename the RUU signed nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh and put it into the root of the card

Now remove the battery put the card in the hd2

Press and HOLD the Vol down button until you see the bootloader

Then follow the screen

I hope this will work

Good luck

you can only install your authorised telestra ROM via HTC's stock RUU.exe without hspl. Perhaps do a [REQ] thread for the ROm to be posted by someone who can dump it.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bladvey:
You need stock (only stock) SD 2GB Card that was with your phone.

After you found it, you need to download shipped rom from HTC official site for your region.

Then you have to open the .exe file with winrar and after it you have to unpack "RUU_Signed.nbh" to your SD card and rename it into "LEOIMG.nbh".

Then reload your phone with pressed "volume down".

And then you will follow instructions.

P.S. Sorry for my English, I am from Russia.

Hi,

I have been having the same problem. I could really appreciate your help.

I need to remove HSPL from the phone as I have sold the phone & don't want to void warranty.

I Followed what Mskips thread said but still could not do it.

I have copied the NBH file from stock rom, renamed it LEOIMG.NBH & copied it to route of memory card that I formatted with FAT32.

Put the memory card in phone, held down the Volume Down button for three seconds & then held down the power button.

I would get the tricoloured screen with HardSPL info but nothing else would happen.

Some one on the forum said try formatting it FAT16 & see if that makes a difference. I tried this & I got slightly further, after the tricolour screens comes up I get a white screen that seize loading but nothing happen after that.

I tried letting go off the Volume button as soon as you see the tricoloured screen, but I am not getting any further i.e. flashing instructions.

Would really appreciate if you could help & tell me what roms etc you used so I can get this done.

This has been lingering for a few days now I have to post item on Tuesday

Please help
