Thanks for that hint, found lots of info on it now. This is going to show how really clueless I am, but apart from 3G being a lot faster I'm not sure what the difference is between 2G and 3G. Also, is the 2G and 3G just related to data usage/transfer, or is it calls as well?

If it's just data transfer then I may as well set it to 3G only as I'm too impatient to wait for the internet etc on 2G. If it responsible for the connection of calls as well I'm going to have to leave it on both as I quite frequently go from3G to 2G areas, and I don't want to keep losing signal for my phone.

If it responsible for the connection of calls as well I'm going to have to leave it on both as I quite frequently go from3G to 2G areas, and I don't want to keep losing signal for my phone.

GSM (2G) handles all the voice traffic and SMS in UK, plus basic GPRS speed at up to 56Kbps. Where available it also includes (E)dge connections for data up to about 100Kbps (technically can go much higher, but this is the practical limit)

3G and HSDPA (Also termed UMTS and WCDMA) are data only and can allow 330Kbps and up to 7.2Mbps respectively though you'll generally see around 200Kbps and 1-1.5Mbps as usable maxima. These protocols are also used for video calling and MMS media content. However if a device is set for WCDMA only, it can still make/receive voice and SMS services.

If all you do is use email, voice, SMS and basic web page browsing, there is an advantage in constraining the connection to GSM only, as the battery life will improve by up to 25%. For occasional higher volume web browsing it may still be worth staying on GSM, but switching to Auto or WCDMA when needed.

For frequent web use, then it's best to stay on Auto and take the battery hit. Don't select WCDMA only- the 3G service in UK is still patchy and if you go out of a 3G area, you;ll get no signal at all with this selection.

You may also see a few posts on here relating to auto-disconnecting the data signal after a timeout. In general this is not a good idea with current 'connected' devices as it prevents all the 'push' updating of email, Facebook etc. The programs to allow this were originally produced to prevent unwanted data charges when data was expensive, or when roaming. A lot of users are now utilising this in an effort to improve battery life- this is a little futile as the data connection itself uses the normal phone signal service channels and therefore negligible battery power, unless the 3G service is switched off at the same time.
[HD2 General] snerkler:
Cheers for this, read through to page 8 so far, will read the rest later. WHy can't I find the threads I want when I search? :o

I may as well just PM you everytime WB lol
[HD2 General] snerkler:
I fI'm reading this right, you need 2G to make and receive calls, therefore if you select 3G only then you can't make and receive calls?
[HD2 General] NeilM:
No- if you select 3G only you can make/receive calls and exchange fast data- but only if you are in a 3G coverage area. Out of 3G coverage and there's nothing

GSM only: Voice, SMS, Data wherever theres a signal. Good battery life. Slow data

3G only: Voice, SMS, fast Data, but nothing at all out of 3G coverage. Higher battery drain

Auto: Switches between the 2 above, but favours 3G where available so again, higher battery drain especially in marginal 3G signals where it will continually switch between protocols, potentially using a lot of battery power.
[HD2 General] snerkler:
Ok, thanks for clearing this up. If I want to improve battery life, am I best to have it set to 2G, unless I want to use internet/email, and if I want to do that then swap it to 3G for this (assuming I don't want push mail)?

Also, most of the time I'm hooked up to wifi, so I'm assuming in this case I don't need 3G at all?
[HD2 General] NeilM:
Even email (polled or push) is fine over 2G unless you are receiving large attachments.

When you are on WiFi, data should take that path so you are correct- 3G won't be needed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] babababawu:
my magic is TIM's G2

the rom is myhero 2.0.5 but the recovery is too old, so i want to flash the recovery to Amon's recovery 1.5.2.

but when i flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

some error type. all is "out of memory". then i open the phone, i can't into the recovery.

it's so bay. now i can flash 1.2.3H into my Magic, i want flash 1.5.2, help please.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sindrefyrn:
It won't work if you only type that. I assume you're using a terminal emulator. I'm pretty sure you only forgot the mount command, but I'll go trough everything to be sure.

All you need to to is to flash the recovery image again. As you're having MyHero, I assume you're having a 32A. Therefore, make sure you have the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img, not the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img.

Copy the file to the root of your SD, no need to rename it.

Open up your terminal emulator, and type:

su

You should get a root request, accept it. Then type in:

mount -a

Don't worry if you're getting errors here, that's normal. Lastly, type in the following.

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img

It's just normal to get errors here too. Or, at least I do.

Start your phone in recovery, and it should work.

See, I had this problem when I asked this question for my Touch Pro 2 (was not at all satisfied with the Telus-provided holster) -- people keep suggesting cases when I want a holster.

This is basically my dream/ideal holster. It's too bad it seems only RIM makes/provides holsters of that glorious quality.
[HD2 Accessories] Som30ne:
try the thread suggested.

there are many kinds of cases discussed there.
[HD2 Accessories] Archer:
I know it's a lot to get through, but there are a few links on that thread to cases that come with belt attachments. If you find one that clips at the top then I suppose it's a holster!

BB Holster

Hi All

Spike15

I know what you mean by the BB holster as its great.

I still use my blackberry case that i had with my Curve with my HD2.

All i had to do was move the magnet up a bit in the clip part so it reached the other one in the case. It seems to be just stuck to the webbing inside the clip and can be easily pulled away from the magnet and moved up to the top of the clip.

The HD2 fits snug in ther holster and also the clip just reaches over and i havent had any issues with the phone or clip detaching itself so far.

Hi all,

I've been digging around the help files and just couldn't find something (if it's there, please please please let me know where).

what I'm trying to do is synch my MS Outlook contacts with my N1 *without* pushing it all to a GMail account first. Just a direct synch, like i always could do with my SE and WinMo devices...

Any ideas? :(
[Nexus One General] joene92:
I'm afraid that the only option is pushing it all to your Gmail. What I did was erase all of my gmail contacts and use a free, beta program called GoContactSync (it does not work all to well, but it got the job done eventually) to sync my tidily ordered and up to date outlook contacts. You can download it from here: http://www.webgear.co.nz/Products/GOContactSync.aspx
[Nexus One General] Rashkae:
Thanks!! I'll give that a try. :)
[Nexus One General] padanfain:
There is an option when you setup the exchange account to have it sync contacts as well. That worked just fine for me.
[Nexus One General] Rashkae:
Well yes, but I have a work exchange account for business contacts, and my own personal Windows addressbook. I usually keep them separate, and my SE and WinMo devices synch their contacts with my personal list.
[Nexus One General] mrbkkt1:
open outlook:

file> import and export>export to a file> comma separated values (windows).

save file on desktop, upload to gmail.

delete whatever you want, tag as work/ personal etc. then sync through gmail.
[Nexus One General] Rashkae:
I also tried Companionlink (it has a 14-day trial) and that did the trick. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cpt-Future:
Hi Folks,

just want to inform you about a news over at digitimes saying there will be an official Windows Mobile 6.6 next month. Maybe WM7 is delayed til 2011 due to that development.

http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20100114PD216.html

same news on German news page:

http://winfuture.de/news,52805.html

The screenshots on the german page makes me think that WM6.6 is what the XDA community is used to called "6.5.3" (28xxx development path).

A big Thanks to the Chefs for the continuing great work!

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tlerner:
I cannot belive Microsoft with all its resources cannot launch a proper mobile system. If it weren't for the cooks on this forum we'd be stuck with 'ol boring platform. This wait for WinMo 7 is turning into 'Waiting fof Godot' - and if (and when) it finally arrives it may turn out to be a dud.

It's such a shame to have a device like HD2 with all its technical advances and no platform to properly display all its goodies.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hungera:
we should all knew Microsoft is like this..:o
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stoolzo:
it looks like its a slightly modified 28014, there are already lots of very good ROMS with this path so we dont really have anything to get excited about i am afraid :).

I'm using GRID EVO 1.8 which is very good indeed. Incidentally, I wouldnt get too excited about windows 7 either, we may find this destroys are lowly 528 cpu, we'll probably have to wait for it to be cooked into somethign useable.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] balaji.admin:
Anybody has idea about which com branch is going to be WM6.6?

so this means that new roms will be avaliable with wm6.6? and going to be slightly faster?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] andes83:
Keyboard is nice otherwise I don't see anything that deserving to call it 6.6 just random updates.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hatkeeper:
I think this is to be expected, really. After playing around iphone and android, you can see every part of the system is designed very well (core, system, interface, flexibility, compatibility). I read some rumors that Microsoft have to go back to the drawing board a bit in order to make wm 7 competitive. And if they can keep improving wm 6.5 or 6.6 to be as close in performance as other systems. They can take their sweet time with wm 7, and it's probably a good thing going into 2012 and onwards.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] borg28:
right well hopefully it runs just as good as 6.5 or better wait for windows 7 that's gonna be something completly different.:D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ladieslova:
Unbelievable... This waiting for the Windows Mobile 7 is becoming a big pain... If we didn't have chefs here at the XDA, we would be still stuck with the old platforms.

I believe that Windows 6.6 is just a slight improvement from the 6.5, but we should be happy that Windows Mobile is improving step by step... I think that in this one we have a slightly faster speed and colored "checking the boxes"...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Sillysod:
Well, after the Blackstone I don't think I will buy another Windows Mobile until I see what Microsoft does with it. Everything about the iPhone just shines quality and efficiency for example, compared to ours - that's not harsh. It's just a bodge in comparison. Also given that they left us with 6.1, I would have gone mad without the chefs.

My contract runs out in June...

just to clarify, these are still rumours.

wm6.6 is what we have previously been calling 6.5.3
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dazza9075:
oh come on thats a bit harse, whats on the iphone is very fancy the problem is there isnt a lot on it. Look, Apple from day one have had a luxury of having an OS running on spacific hardware designed to work with it, Windows mobile has essentially run on just about every configuration of hardware in the mobile market you can think of, its the same debate as the desktop market.

two different markets two different designs both very good at what they do, having a windows mobile platform running and looking like an apple is a bit too much like having your cake and eating it and expecting someone else to clean up your mess, what is unexceptable is having hardware that isnt working fully because the chipset makers wont give us the drivers (or HTC wont pay for them) thats not MS fault, MS didnt leave Touch HD users with 6.1 HTC and the networks did.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
WinMo is 10 years old and showing its age... it simply can't compete any more.

The only think that keeps most users using it is not the OS itself, but some of the apps for it (Tom Tom, iGO, etc)

Clearly MS have always struggled to accept fundamentals are wrong... they like to have incremental improvements, but really don't like accepting they might have fundamental flaws.

The funtionality of WinMo is actually very good, but the UI has barely changed in the last 10 years... even less so in the last 7... very very poor. Their attempt at 'themes' was pitiful when they came out, let alone now.

MS see it as brand dilution... having someone create a new UI. Sadly, they fail to accept that if they created a high class UI, folks would be less likely to turn to SPB, or HTC to give their phone an (artificial) makeover.

I will stick with WinMo for a while though, but Android is becoming more tempting. Symbian's dead (even though it's 70% market share for open OS devices). iPhone has all the RIGHT attributes for speed and polish, but the real functionality just isn't there.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Logicalstep:
6.6...Don;t make me laugh. It's just another excuse for MS to delay WM7.

A comparison with the iphone is not fair in terms of dedicated hardware, but it is fair in terms of user experience.

The iphone just works, it's fluid, people who didn;t want or need a smartphone are jumping up and down for an iphone, sales don;t lie.

What MS is doing with WM7 has to be somthing very special indeed to get me to stick with WM and releasing a point upgrade which will change very very little from what we have access to here, is not going to cut the mustard with die hard WM fans.

WM7 has to be nothing short of groundbreaking otherwsie Smartphone manufaturers will just choose, the by then very mature and Free Android.

Just a thought here but does anyone know what exactly has to be done to the stock ROM to allow it to be used to the handsets that are designated VF or O2 etc?

I am assuming HTC supply Vodafone with the ability to modify the ROM and add the correct Vendor ID so that the ROM will work without the need for goldcards or HSPL.

And as you know we have some of the best ROM chefs in the world on this forum. Can any of the top chefs modify the original HTC 1.48 UK ROM so that the vendor ID is correct for Vodafone UK?

Hello all,

Lets see if you guys have an answer for this one. First off im sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum im new here. Ok this is the problem I flashed my HTC Fuze with energy rom version 21885 and when I first do it touchscreen works fine but after I let it sit locked and the screen goes into sleep mode and goes black I press the power button to wake up then the touchscreen doesnt work but if I keep trying it soon it will work until it goes back to sleep. I thought it was the rom so I flashed TAEL rom to it and did the same thing when its locked I have to take battery out for about 3 min. then replace and it will let me work touchscreen until I long key press and lock it then let it sit for about 10 min sleep then when I wake up touchscreen doesnt work.

Thank you in advance,
