I'm satisified with the Messaging Hotfix published by HTC in 14 Jan 2010. :)

In the Conversation Mode, i can see the photo whom i'm taking to. (from contact)

However, i can only see "Me:...." with "anonymous photo" for those i replied...

I want to know if it's possible to replace the "Me" with my own name and also the "anonymous photo" with those i chosen? :(

I know it's not essential but...just for fun maybe...

regards...

falconkey
[HD2 General] Pooper:
Go to your contacts and fill in your details / pic for the "me" contact - That should do it i think!

(might be called something different, I don't have my phone on me atm - but it's the only contact in the list that has the arrow icon thingy).
[HD2 General] falconkey:
Thank for your reply.

But i've tried before. I have added my phone no. and created a contact item with my own photo and name(or any others). But nothing changed in the conversation mode :(

thanks anyway...
[HD2 General] Archer:
You don't create a contact with your details. The very top one in the list of all people should be one called "Me". You put your details in there. Mine's linked to my facebook info so it shows my facebook profile picture next to me in conversations.
[HD2 General] falconkey:
Thank you very much.

I can do it..

But can I also change the word "Me"...

Thank for yr help.....
[HD2 General] ET:
Go to the people tab and click more, then you will see all your contacts. The top one is called "me". Add your detail there and this will show up in the sms conversations.
[HD2 General] falconkey:
Thank you ET....i got it....:)
[HD2 General] ET:
Your'e welcome, thank the others others as well........
[HD2 General] Bence:
What I would like is to have bigger contact photos in conversation mode
[HD2 General] Archer:
He already had, before you posted the solution. Tsk tsk :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] ET:
No he didn't actually, look at what time he edited his post.........;)
[HD2 General] ghale:
Hello everybody,

I've created this thread to write what is the battery usage of my HD2 during the 24 hours of a day.

I've fully charged it and disconnected at 22:45 of 17 January.

At 00:00 (18 January) - the device fully backups (Sprite Backup) with 2 soft-reset - usage: 100%

At 00:10 (18 January) - the device backups My Documents with PIM Backup - usage: 98%

At 10:00 (18 January) - with 1 SMS received in the morning - usage: 90%

At 12:00 (18 January) - usage: 88%

At 13:20 (18 January) - autoupdate of Weather and Twitter (about 1 minute of Internet connection) - usage: 87%

At 16:10 (18 January) - sent 1 SMS - usage: 85%

At 16:56 (18 January) - 1 outgoing call (3mins 31seconds) - usage 82%

At 18:30 (18 January) - 3 outgoing call via bluetooth (21 mins 22 seconds) - usage 74%

At 23:27 (18 January) - usage 68%

At 11:00 (19 January) - after 3 softreset, Weather and Twitter Update, full backup with Sprite Backup and My Documents backup with PIM Backup - usage 50%

At 09:30 (20 January) - after 3 softreset, Weather and Twitter Update, full backup with Sprite Backup and My Documents backup with PIM Backup, 3 calls (3minutes) - usage 20%

At 19:00 (20 January) - after 1 call (20 minutes) via Bluetooth - usage 4%

The device is in stand-by if not differently specified.
[HD2 General] PG101:
Would be helpful if you can also post what kind of usage you have for it to go down only 10% in 11 hours 45 mins..

Cheers!
[HD2 General] ghale:
Hello,

sorry, you are right.

The device is in STANDBY mode.
[HD2 General] ghale:
Hello guys,

what is the battery consumption in stand-by mode?

Normal, low, high?

Someone can post his/her experience?
[HD2 General] ghale:
11:00 AM update
[HD2 General] lude219:
You might want to look over your AM/PM at the beginning so that it doesn't confuse people. You disconnect your phone at 10:45pm and did your first backup at 12:00pm? Don't you mean 12:00am/midnight?..and wouldnt that be the 18th and not the 17th?
[HD2 General] ghale:
You're Right!

Normally I use the 24 hours notation, LOL.

I've updated the thread with the date.

Thanks for telling me that!
[HD2 General] lude219:
No problem, I was scratching my head...trying to make sense of what you wrote before :p

50% per 24hr is decent considering that you're a really light user.

As for me, in 24hr, I make about 2hrs of phone call, receive maybe 5 texts, 30min of total surfing...comes out to around 30-35%.

there's already a battery life thread that could really use your usage log for reference. Just thought I'd let you know.:)
[HD2 General] ghale:
To be honest, I use my HD2 a lot :D, but I've created a thread to log battery usage for a phone in stand-by with very little usage.

The battery consumption in usage like yours for me is the same (and is acceptable, too).

Thanks for telling me the usage for your device!
[HD2 General] lorin.bute:
I get kind of the same usage. Medium use = 1.5 days, Heavy use = one day.
[HD2 General] ghale:
Yes, true.

Now I'm at 47% (14:48 19 January) standy-by mode.
[HD2 General] ghale:
My phone is still alive, with 20% of battery at 09:30 (20 january), after 2 days and 10hours!
[HD2 General] ghale:
Last update

2 days 18 hours of standy with very little usage!

WOW!
[HD2 General] lude219:
LOL why have a monster of a phone if youre not going to use it to its potential??:p

I'm sure i could mustered the same amount...but it'll kill me to see such a pretty phone sitting unattended :D

congrats on your test, ghale. 2-day is good if you're going on a trip and forgot to bring a charger!:)
[HD2 General] ghale:
Yes, true. I usually use it very much (I use wireless at home) or 3G outdoor for e-mail.

When I'm outdoor for work, I use Gmaps or TomTom and Metro to locate places in big cities.

This was a test to try the standby (at least this was my attempt) time of the device.

I'm happy, because my TyTN II's battery lasts the same.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bmxrideher:
I have just been browsing the sapphire forums for about 45 minutes now and I am confused as hell. How do I go about putting the latest ROM on this device? What should I know for sure about android? What about must have programs? And is there a sort of desktop software? I feel like a douche posting something like this, because I try to figure it all out for myself. Which is super easy for winmo. Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] stu-k:
Read Wiki and One click root is a good start
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sindrefyrn:
Well. First, I'd suggest you to do this. After doing that, you'll have a custom recovery.

Actually that's about it. Now you'll be able to apply roms/rooting. Make sure to ONLY apply roms for the right version of your phone (32A or 32B). It's explained in the link whenever it is 32A or 32B.

If you want to learn more about hacking, Radix999 wrote an excellent article on the wiki about hacking. I'd actually recommend you reading that, to understand SDK, fastboot, SPL, radio ect. The article is linked right here.

If you need any more help, just post a thread here, but make sure your question isn't answered in the wiki before asking.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BoomBoomPOW:
Browse through the Dream forums, since this Sapphire section is overwhelmingly 32A dominated.

I assumed you're already rooted and have Amon_Ra's latest recovery image.

What are your specs? Radio & SPL? Enter FastBoot mode to check (Back + Power).

SPL & Radio Resources: Click & Click

SPL & Radio videos - Click & Click & Click

You should set up ADB - Click (Here's a video guide if you don't like reading - Click)

Also, download & install DroidExplorer as well after setting up ADB - Click

How-To Flash Custom Rom, Paritition SD, & Upgrade Ext2 (Let's choose Dwang's rom, since you don't need to change SPL):

> Backup SD card (Copy pictures and important files to a folder in your computer)

> Turn off phone and enter Recovery mode by holding Home + Power

> Scroll to Wipe: and wipe data, dalvik, ext part, battery, & rotate

> Scroll to Partition: and partition SD; Linux swap = 0MB since it's disabled on Dwang's rom; Ext2 = 512MB (40+ apps, more than enough)

> After Partition is complete, scroll to and perform "ext2 to ext3"

> After that, scroll to USB-MS toggle; enable it and plug-in USB

> Download Dwang's latest (v1.17.1) and place it onto the SD card; then disable USB toggle

> Scroll to Flash zip and choose Dwang's rom

> Then Reboot system now
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Prevolt:
I have been trying to find the downloader for the hardspl and radio where do I get the link from? The only link I found everytime I download it and unzip the file nothing would be in there. Then when I found one that would work it wasnt for my phone. I am look for the hard spl unlock so for the T-Mobile toucn pro 2 (gsm) I have been looking for three days now>

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Prevolt:
the file dont have anything in it.

thats where I got the first file from every time I extract the file it is always empty I have tried that file like 7 to 10 times now,It keep saying the same thing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Try disabling your anti-virus when you download and run it. The EXE is compressed in a way similar to the compression of many malicious programs, so many anti-virus programs (especially Norton) simply hide or delete the files. Many people, including myself, can personally vouch that the files don't contain malware of any sort, so it's fine to disable your anti-virus temporarily.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Prevolt:
Thanks

thanks for you all help! I had to turn off norton.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dusty_nz:
Have searched and can't find.

Whats the difference between these two roms as they seem to get released together.

Both have the start down the bottom?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] TehPenguin:
23518 - Has the updated Office and Outlook

28205 - Has the updated IE

Also, 23518 is a later build

Finally, thread closed - you should posts questions like this in the appropriate thread (instead of creating a new one)

Is it possible with HTC HD2 photocall the same with Iphone with whole screen photo?:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] masi0:
use s2u2 instead std lock and you can set full screen photos
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] isnayper:
How can i use s2u2. Sorry for being noob.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Prom1se:
Search the forum for s2u2 and install it as the readme say's,... could say enough Google is your friend. besides, this forum has a great search feature.:rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] isnayper:
Thanks a lot, i've done searching, installing, setting, but i dont like it in my Leo, CallerID is not the same as with Iphone, so i've uninstalled it. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tlefeuvre:
I am sorry to say but I will never, never understand people who wants their phone looks like an iPhone... Simpliest way would be, go and buy an iPhone, no ?

This is really something beyond my understanding .. So many posts like that ...

I don't flame you, just do not understand.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] alexleon:
sorry man, but dont u think that htc itself copied a lot iphone producing senseUI?

music tab, photo tab in landscape...they are so iphone-like don't they? wm slide to unlock, htc text selection....

so......I like my hd2, but if iphone does something that i prefere, why I cant have it in my wm phone?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NZtechfreak:
Seems pretty easy to understand to me, they want a phone with better hardware, but there are elements of the iPhones UI that they like and want to replicate. Seems straightforward enough? No?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lorin.bute:
You can get what you want but its gonna replace the contact manager as well.

Have a look here: http://www.iconsoft.com/?language=en&menu=62e094db10fc83b1
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] isnayper:
i love it, sadly its not free :( .. only i want my caller in full screen..:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hexjibber:
I'd also quite like this feature but without changing any of the other existing Sense UI design, I've tried the other options out there but was hoping for something that just appeared to be a mod of the original UI?

I'm not sure how easy this would be to implement but I've attached a pic to show what I'm getting at :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] isnayper:
the above jpg. is exactly what im looking for. I hope there is a cab file for this.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] fards:
so what you want is for someone to develop some software for you, spend their time and effort, but you dont want to pay them for it?

That's what you're saying?

mm :rolleyes:

if you want it then BUY phonex as stated above..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] wardh:
Resco contact manager does this too but again it's more than just callerid and it cost money.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hexjibber:
Not at all, I'd gladly donate to someone if this mod could be made to the Sense UI caller ID screen. To me it seems like you would need to overlay the full screen caller image over the existing caller ID screen yet under the 'slide to answer' section, trouble is I haven't the faintest idea how to go about this?? :confused:

The problem with Phonex et al is they are all apps designed to replace more than just the caller ID screen and I for one really like the Sense UI just the way it is, I'm merely asking if it's possible to mod the original UI for this one bit?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] isnayper:
im still hoping this will exist! :D
[HD2 General] sdybvik:
I have tried searching the forums, but haven't found anything about this.

In the Phone screen (with numeric pad and the recent call list) each entry has an icon, the person's name and phone number and a button to show the contact or details about the call.

Why isn't the time of the call in that list? Is there a way to turn that on? I consider that vital information.
[HD2 General] alex fung:
yes it is annoying. I wish it is listed here.

But if you tap the thing on the right, it will show you all history for that particular person. In this screen, you have time and duration for each entry.
[HD2 General] omar302:
Also tap the button on the left next to "Talk" and it will open "Call History" with all the vital information you want.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] TheDynamo:
My understanding is that a cooked rom is a rom that has lots of bit's taken out and then cabs etc put back to make the HD2 run with better performance etc.

But there are so many roms on here, that it has become confusing as to which rom to put on my device. Also what happens when a new legit rom from HTC comes out - doesnt that mean that all the cooking starts again and we end up with thousands of roms?

I would have thought that the additional software installations after installing a new ROM to get the phone in a decent state would put most people off lol.

This is not a dig btw - i have installed a cooked rom, but i think the forum needs to be maybe reshaped a little more i.e. another category with each rom version.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] arxx:
Agree. Would like to see some kind of categories, maybe one for "Featured ROMs", they are cool, gives a hint of what will come, but they might be unstable. One category for ROMs really close to stock, but with minor changes...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Johnny Al:
i totall agree.. i am a new member as you can see on my number of posts.. i would really like to get to know which rom update is for what and which works best with htc hd2.

need help. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Bouloama:
Just do some more research and find what you like.. and use it very often.

Custom Roms are for everybody and each chef has his own kitchen.. and receipe. Someone goes for speed the other for stability.. and some other chef again for a better layout.

I agree sometimes it is difiicullt to see what features are added and to compare which rom suites your needs best, but you could filter it all for you self. Select all Roms that have your interest and filter down to 2 or 3 Roms... then flash those 2 or 3 roms and try them for a few days. You will able to tell which one is best for you ;)

It's up to you which one you choose.. so for lazy people who do not want to search.. stick to the shipped Roms :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] xmoo:
+1 for this one.

It's ur own thing!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dagrim1:
Well, All these roms are the personal preference of the maker with some feedback and input from the users. The only way is to decide is read the descriptions and perhaps see what apps are included and mainly, which version of windows mobile (all 6.5 but some the newer 6.5.3(?) version with the taskbar at the bottom and some fingerfriendly stuff), which version of manilla (2.5.1922 is the newest with a document tab but some bugs), etc.

The rest is just a matter of personal preference and trying.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Eraser85:
It has always been like this and it works wonderfully... newbs that come here and say this kind of stuff should first try to understand how this forum works and WHY there are so many roms..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] TheDynamo:
Like i said - i agree on the principle of it - but why not create sub forums with rom versions etc so the layout is easier. Being called a newbie because i havn't posted many threads is rather insulting ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Da9L:
I really love the way it is now. It gives you freedom to choose, and make your device more custom. :) I would however like to see alot of cooks go together and create "the perfect rom".. :) Some cooks go for stabillty, others for speed, someone for visuals. Combine all those chefs recepies and you would have one fantastic rom i believe :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] crazy cat:
I agree with Da9L!

If you spend more time with xda-devs you will see a structure. If i need a WM 6.5.3 ROM i search only for the Sys.Build (28xxx). Very easy.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KB24@CL:
1. I like having the choice between many different ROMs..you simply have to see what fits your needs the best.

2. Most people stick to their favorite cook because they have similar "taste" and usually you stick with it.

we have many 5-star cooks here and its hard to single out ONE great ROM. There is no universal solution so take a close look at the ROM description and see whats added and removed, look at the bugs and changelogs, the builds and decide if it might be your taste.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bshakil:
i love changing roms in search of features speed and new layouts.. but i always forget which rom was on which version when i last tried it . and now especially with new and different versions of manila and htcsense it is getting a bit of confusing...

I wish if there is a single chart of all roms where they keep atleast some basic information...

like

Name of ROM -- LAST UPDATED-- OS VERSION-- MANILA Version -- Changelog etc

something like this (except its for ANDROID ROMS)

http://db.androidspin.com/android_build_information.asp

tell me what you guys think of this....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Xaddict:
Variety

That's like walking into a restaurant and saying, 'why all the different meals?' Or a bar and, why all the different girls? Or why all the different cars? It's the whole point of this site. Viva la difference!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] arxx:
True...

But with a menu, you have categories. "Main meals" (full featured rom?) "starters" (clean rom without manila or any addons?) ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] thimiost:
You just have to have a look at this forum

You just had to read and learn
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] burger:
the thread title is very misleading based on what the TS has to say

in any case, the current layout is fine. i do not think it is very "efficient" to keep going down sub-menus
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nwolsink:
It would be nice to have a XDA market were al ROMS and stuff can be rated, that would certainly sort things out
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vinokirk:
Personally I wish there were more ROMs! Like someone said, this is how its always been, this is how it is, and this is how it will always be.

It would be good if the chefs stuck to the official thread naming scheme.

I was gonna provide a link to it, but cant find it now
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] thimiost:
Rated by who

The only one that can rate the best rom for you is you
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] lucid:
What might be the case :)

Many of the ROM's have no layout customizations and vary

often only a little in included applications, tweaks/driver patches.

If a new user installs a couple of ROM's , chances

are differences aren't all that big, and the question arises, what's the point ?

If one looks at the older devices, one can see an almost vulgair

choice of styled, tweaked and pimped beyond recognition ROM's.

I mean the ROM's where you open the default games folder and there's 10 games, 19 great themes to choose from, 6 clocks, and what's more.

The fact those ROM's aren't available (yet) could be strange to people relatively new to XDA.

Maybe it's something all different :)

Edit : forgot to mention Xanitechs Pandora ROM which has "styling" (works like a charm for me)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] turborider:
+1 nice one :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] drewX2:
I disagree. Who can determine what is "cool" or the "best?" Believe it or not, each ROMs appeals to a specific group of people; that's what makes it so cool.

The only categories I could possibly see would be for windows builds. ie. Windows 6.5, 6.5.3, etc.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dagrim1:
Well, I'm setting up an excel file with some info about the different roms...

It contains the windows builds, sense/manila builds, added/removed apps, changelog and other remarks as well as release date and link.

It's mainly an overview for now... I'll see if I can update it further and post it if wanted later this week perhaps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dj_ghosie:
+1 !

If you like it take it, if you don't leave it. "Perfect" is very subjective and all these different Roms let you choose the one that's closest to your "Perfect" solution. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dlotters:
I love the amount of choice that we have with ROMS and thank all the cooks for releasing them.

Some may not be to your liking, the benefit of so many cooks here is that the chances of finding the 'right' ROM for your needs is a lot higher. I've had previous devices where there was only one or two active cooks and would rather have more than less any time.

The layout and way the ROMS are posted here can seem daunting. Especially for new people and that can be somewhat off-putting. What is the difference between 6.1 and 6.5? How about 6.5.1 and 6.5.3 and so forth... it's almost endless.

That spreadsheet idea seems awesome. Would be nice if there were a site which had all of that and was regularly maintained rather than a downloadable spreadsheet, but anything is better than nothing.

I find the HTCPedia layout a bit easier and nicer to navigate when looking through ROMS to try out.
