Hello,there!

I've learned a lot from this forum and i am happy to be a part of it!

Thank You All!

So,i have this SonyEricsson Bluetooth Watch - it work perfectly with my SE P1i,but....

I want to use it with the HD2.

I read a lot on this subject and what i found:

the program is called btWatch,i downloaded it from handheld.softpedia

I'm not allowed to post links so just type "btwatch" in Google and you'll se the page....

It has installed on my HD2,but when i try to run the program i see : ERROR!

Any Idea?

My ROM is Stock,Version:

OS Version:5.2.21869(21869.5.0.82)

Manila version:2.5.19211619.0

Rom version:1.48.479.1(71294)WWE

Radio:2.06.51.07

P.S.I've tried with changing the .NetFramework version on my HD2 from 2.0 to 3.5,but still no success.

Shame!This is a good watch with perfect functions!

I'll be glad if someone test the program with other ROMs or something.....

Thanxx again!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nicelad_uk:
From what I remember when I had one of the watches, that software was only for older bluetooth stacks that weren't compatable with the watch. These newer ones in the HD2 should be compatable without any additional software.

Have you tried just pairing the watch to your HD2 without the software? You could be surprised...?

Hi there, recently purchased an HTC Blackstone and apart from one glaring issue I hope can be solved I'm finding it a brilliant phone.

My issue is thus. All of the messages I receive seem to be on a massive delay or are only being received when I unlock the phone and scroll to my text messages. I've googled for this issue so far and to no avail. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar?
[General Questions and Answers] ikke008:
Does the problem occurs with different rom?
[General Questions and Answers] DocBrown89:
So far I've tried it on stock WM 6.1 and the current ROM I'm running (Which for the life of me I cannot remember) and both times this issue has occured.

After I upgrade to the new 6.5 Rom with T-mobile.. I found something odd. Certain programs I was able to move the pages up and down by flick scroll the screen. But now every time I tried to do that, it highlights the text instead.. The only way i can move the page is use the scroll bar on the right. Any body know how to change the setting or registry for this? Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] evertec:
If your original rom was 6.1, you were using HTC's touchflo scrolling, but with 6.5 you're using Microsoft's built in flick scrolling. Ironically, the Microsoft scrolling seems to have problems with some .NET programs (you'd think those would work the best since it's MS). I don't know of any fix other than switching back to the HTC touchflo but that's not as fluid so I just put up with the few apps that don't work with the MS version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hocapoca:
Yeah my original rom was official T-mobile 6.1 . I just upgrade to 6.5 rom with this problem.. It is kind of silly Microsoft scrolling was worse than touch flo one.. I guess I will just ignore this since there is no fix for it . Thank you.

Hi All

Actually there is, but it is a bit of a PITA.

Go here:

http://www.ftouchsl.com/

This proggy enables scrolling in virtually anything. I had an issue with a simple 'Note' file, you would think that it would scroll natively, but no.

I use this proggy to enable it. One caveat, it dicks with other apps that are OK, so you need to exclude those from the prog as exceptions - this is a drag, but once you have a list, you can export it and re-import it if you need to hard reset.

It isn't perfect, but i have looked for a simpler solution with no luck. Silly thing is, that Word will scroll, but bloody Notes will not - stupid.

Anyway, i hope that helps you...

Cheers

Is it possible to activate your lock screen by clicking on the sleep button? (Just like S2U2) At this moment I've got it the original way by holding the end call button. I hope there is a simple way to do that, maybe a cab. file?

I'm using a stock win 6.5 ROM.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] rumz82:
Here, this should work. its better to install in main memory. once installed, it will appear in your start menu, which u can then configure to suit your needs.

Hope it helps, let me know!:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Ciedric:
I've got it running. Please tell me how to configure it to my needs. I want everything stock except that I want to auto lock my phone when I hit the sleep button or when it goes automatic to sleep.

It's one of the first options, lock on standby. The problem with the reg edit is that it locks on backlight dim and uses the winmo call lock.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] yasinism:
tried this but when i am using the camera or video, or playing a video it locks.

how can i avoid this.

There is a field that says 'DO Not Lock if runing' what do i write in this field?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] rumz82:
Hi. Im not sure as i didnt use that option. but i think u may need to put the path of the programs or the name of the programme exe. Try it.:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Ciedric:
All of that I can find in this program?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] rumz82:
For that you need a registry editor like total commandar or resco registry, also, SK tools comes with a registry editor.:D

I use Lock Device....Works very nice

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Deleted member 1963517:
Try this

I'm using something called AutoLock Screen v 1.7E. It just works, no reg tweakes or anything like that. It lockes the device when it goes to sleep, when you press the power button to turn off the screen, it even does in call lock... but I admit it would be nice if it actualy turned off the screen when in call rather then just locking it...

I recomed you use this version because the newest ones have the tendancy to double lock your device...

No change to do it with out Total Commander? Btw where can I get Total commander

Thnx, I'll have a look.

[Nexus One General] quantic01:
Hi everyone, I have been a lurker on this forum for sometime but registered recently. I bought a Nexus one to replace my 3GS on the release day, and I must say. I absolutely adore it. I have a few questions for you guys, if anyone could shed some light on this for me it would be great.

So, basically I have been looking around the internet, various forums etc to try and grasp why the nexus one does not have smoother scrolling. By smooth I mean the actual animation attributes. I am aware that the Nexus one is fast at scrolling (and faster then the iPhone 3GS in almost every way) however, the nexus one does not handle scrolling as elegantly.

Let me define what I mean by smooth. I do not mean the hardware is not fast, as it clearly is. I mean that the GUI has not been further enhanced in the way the iphone has, to actually mimic a smooth flowing operation.

From what I have gathered on my search it could be one of a few things:

1) Android is still quite new so they have simply not gotten round to adding this yet as it is not a priority.

2) The hardware (up until this point) did not have good enough power to do so, as a result it was not included in the previous and current android releases.

3) The multitasking causes interruptions to the processor cycles during scrolling so can sometimes give a jagged/laggy scroll (I already hear you thinking: AH but this is due to other apps loading at the bottom, well the iphone scrolls exactly the same and is loading apps too).

4) The scrolling element of the UI does not utilise GPU acceleration and thus is purely relying on CPU, which means it is fast but not smooth.

My reason for asking this is simple, I am wondering what I can expect from future versions of android. I absolutely have no doubt that this platform is the future (at least for me) of mobile devices, but I would very much like to see some of the (perhaps unnecessary) GUI enhancements that the iPhone has.

My other area of interest is the market place and more specifically the creation of applications, I am by trade a UI designer, so I cant help but notice that the apps on the market place are pretty... actually lets not beat around the bush - none of them really share any common UI or style.

I am aware that the iPhone SDK provides a UI library which in turn means iPhone developers have somewhat of an aid in creating their apps, and also helps to keep native consistency with the iphone experience. Is this going to be something that changes with android (or is it even something that has started to change within the 2.1 SDK?).

When you guys read this post I hope you do not see an iPhone fanboy that has come here to bash the Android platform. I am just using my experience of a previous system to try and make sense of where the Android platform may go in the future.

These questions come out of love, not frustration or criticism. I love Android and really hope some of these issues are addressed because I feel it does everything else incredibly well. I could have made a post about all the things I love, but hey, you guys already know this :D. Anyways, let me know your thoughts.
[Nexus One General] SBS_:
I honestly hope that android doesn't get a lot of standard UI stuff, boxing in developer creativity. There is more than one way to make a good UI and I don't see the need for every app to look the same.
[Nexus One General] quantic01:
I was more talking about making something available to developers if they need it, incase they do not have the design skill set to do it or the resources to pay someone else to do it.

This would mean that at the least apps would look as good as the stock UI if not better (when capable developers wish to do more).
[Nexus One General] dreamdestiny:
i read somewhere that the reason the iphone is so smooth at scrolling is down to its very low screen resolution, at first i was thinking nah but there certainly isnt any high end or mid tier touchscreen phone with a res as low as the iphones 320 x 480 at 163 ppi
[Nexus One General] kozm0naut:
I believe the iPhone UI uses OpenGL ES 2.0, while Android still supports something like 1.0, 1.1 or 1.3. I forget.

But, we'll have OpenGL 2.0 support soon, and I think their [Google's] roadmap has it somewhere before Android 3.0

I agree. The higher res also contributes to the slowdown (versus earlier Android devices like the G1 with much less RAM). This was especially apparent on the Droid, as it has less RAM and Android 2.0 is probably a tad less slick.
[Nexus One General] quantic01:
Yes, the iphone is pushing lower resolution. But, previous devices to the Nexus one where too pushing lower resolution.

I feel like I am going mad here, surely people notice the fact that iphone has built in animation styles on all scrolling, zooming - android does not. why?
[Nexus One General] gonintendo:
I too have asked this question and haven't gotten a response. I stumbled upon this recently:http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6914
[Nexus One General] Marine6680:
It just seems the refresh rate is slower. The garbage collection mentioned for example. As the code matures it will get better. Plus I read about an update to the Dalvik VM that should help, "Dalvik Turbo VM" It should bump up speed a good bit. Between that and the JIT performance will increase a lot.
[Nexus One General] rcgabriel:
This isn't really an issue anymore with Froyo on Nexus One-class devices. Install Froyo, then install Launcher Pro or ADW Launcher and everything is smooth as silk. App scrolling, home screen scrolling, animations, app startup times, all of these are much smoother on my Nexus One w/ Froyo than an iPhone 3G, and at least on par with a 3GS.

The web browser still can bog down a bit when rapidly scrolling complex HTML pages though (Slashdot, Engadget, etc.), seems to be something with the way Javascript events are handled since the issue more-or-less goes away if you disable Javascript. I think the scrolling algorithm needs a bit of work in browser to make it as smooth feeling as the iPhone 3G/3GS are.
[Nexus One General] MaximReapage:
Pretty much this. I noticed what OP was talking about until I put Froyo on, now everything is silky smooth.
[Nexus One General] lorin.bute:
Froyo makes scrolling ok, so no issues here :)
[Nexus One General] mykenyc:
I disagree, while yes froyo is majoy improvements from 2.1 i still get lag especially on live wallpapers its horrid. this is what i said in reference to that issue:

"I agree also, Romain guy your have been listening to the community implementing such features this should be one of them to really listen to. I can't even enjoy the standard launcher i have to use launcher pro or ADW just to have smooth scrolling even in froyo(pre-release) at times. There should be a simple switch to enable or disable 3d accelerations like how ubuntu does it with Compiz. Your seriously telling me your cannot implement a auto-detection feature to see if the phone can handle it and if it can, then the 3d accel is enabled for that phone?

THIS IS BLASPHEMY!"

I understand what people are saying by downloading ADW etc but if I'm a new user buying android most people don't know about ADW for instance my ex-coworker who have a T-mobile MyTouch 3g slide her phone is horribly slow. I had to manually add launcher pro for her to feel the difference and even she is like wow what a difference. My point is most people first hand will automatically think the phone is slow and not on pair with the iPhone. Smoothness in a nutshell should come straight out stock android without the need for a replacement. just my opinion.
[Nexus One General] torchedlh:
You're complaining about lag with live wallpapers? Comparing it the iPhone which DOES NOT HAVE live wallpapers? Turn them off, stop complaining, and compare apples to apples. Same goes for pretty calendar, weather, news, facebook widgets etc.
[Nexus One General] mykenyc:
I said especially with live wallpapers meaning even worst. Please don't tell me to stop complaining because i am not complaining I'm voicing a opinion that can benefit us all. So if your not here to help on the benefit please leave.

thanks.
[Nexus One General] z0phi3l:
You're also using a pre release version of Android that is very well documented to not be ready for general usage, of course there's going to be issues with it, really goiing to have to wait for the official release to compare scrolling
[Nexus One General] ATnTdude:
The iPhone uses animations to help reduce the perception of the amount of time it takes to load things. It's eye candy to cover up a fault. The N1 just about instantly switches everything, there is no waiting, so that the few animations it does have take more time than just loading.

It's why I've turned off animations. The eye candy just wastes seconds and CPU cycles.
[Nexus One General] dalingrin:
My biggest concern isn't the launcher since it can easily be remedied by a 3rd party launcher. I think the bigger problem is the scrolling in the web browser.

On Android because scrolling isn't a separate process given to the GPU, scrolling gets progressively slower as the number of dynamic elements(javascript and especially flash) increase.

However, on an iPhone, scrolling is independent of what elements are displayed on the website. Therefore, as the dynamic elements on a webpage increase the scrolling is still just as smooth as a simple website like these forums.

I think using the GPU for scrolling has been needed for a while now but Android really needs it with the addition of flash.
[Nexus One General] mykenyc:
regardless of the fact i think you'd be pretty naive to think the stable ota will magically be lag free. it have everything to do with launcher2 and the fact everything is handled by cpu. We have powerful phones no reason why we shouldn't be able to let GPU handle the UI...instead of defending google we should all be asking them to be able to toggle between gpu acceleration or not same way animation is toggled on and off.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] [★]:
Im not sure if any of you are aware but Ive been working on a series of video guides explaining how to do all the different things with HardSPL. The last thing I have done is how to remove HardSPL, Ive made the video and the process seems to have worked. However half way through the process the phone reset and temporarily displayed the error sign, still everything seemed to work.

Now I am not sure if this is what is supposed to happen and I dont really want to go through removing it again, I havent been able to get hold of bepe to check it so I thought Id see if any of you guys might have done the process/be willing to do so, to just confirm this is the correct procedure.

*Click Here* for a link to the video, it is private at the moment as I do not want to release it publicly until it has been confirmed correct.

(Disclaimer: I'm not forcing you to do this and so I am not responsible for any problems you may have)

Thanks, [★]
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] [★]:
~~~BUMPETY~~~
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] xmoo:
This is a normal.

When you flash SPL back (Using stock rom, usb flashing method).

After flashing a couple of stuff, the phone SR's once, after that it continues to flash the oter stuff.

Bootloader,

OS,

Splash,

Radio,

etc.

etc.

Great thanks for that, I'll set it to public now, if moderators want to delete this thread now thats fine.

With the HTC being the flagship phone for HTC, there seems to be many issues with this phone which seem very surprising for such an expensive phone:rolleyes::rolleyes:.

HTC LEO or Nokia X5

:confused::confused:
[HD2 General] dmonuk:
Well, I haven't used an X5, but have had my Leo since thursday afternoon, been non stop using, installing new software / games on it, have not had 1 slow down, screen glitch, battery power has been exellent considering use of the phone I have done (WiFi always on, played games, watched movies music etc...)
[HD2 General] finesse:
Thank for your reply, very interesting I was reading that the phone is plagued with;

Extreme battery drain issues

Screen glitches

And SLOW performance and lag

ROM flash issues

SMS issues

:(:(
[HD2 General] NeilM:
Most of the problems have been niggles, though there have been a few major issues suffered by some people. It doesn't seem to follow any logical rules who gets one that has problems sending SMS messages, or maybe others that seem to dial by themselves.

All in all it is an excellent device- probably the best HTC have yet released.

Expensive? Not really in comparison to the cost of other SIM free phones when newly released. All the major flagship HTC releases have been in the £500-£600 in the 1st few months, but they do come down eventually.
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
More expensive means more features, more features means more bugs :D

But don't worry. HD2 is great phone. Best keyboardless Windows Mobile device. It still is Windows Mobile device, so be warned if you haven't had one.

But if you had WM device and you are looking for new one, and you don't need hardware keyboard, then HD2 is great.

Sure there is many complains here .. but that is what forums like this are for. It's not so bad.
[HD2 General] NeilM:
Extreme battery drain? No- for a high powered device it lasts quite well. Cetainly better than my previous TG01

Screen Glitches: It is sensitive, but no 'glitches'

Slow performance/lag: Not at all

ROM Flash: Try and install something not designed for it and you may see issues. Stick to the official updates and no bother at all.
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Finesse,

If you have seen and used the Nokia then I would go for it. As soon as you come to a device with the premise that it has a host of problems then your future good relationship with that device is lost before it starts!

Seen that so many times on this forum, hence my advice.

[HD2 General] mskip:
I cant really speak for the Nokia x5 as I have never heard of it and dont know what operating system it uses but I have had my HD2 for over a month now with no problems at all. Everything runs smooth, screen looks amazing and games look fantastic.

If you have negative thought then steer clear as in my experience those people create their own problems to meet their own expectations but on the other hand if you are just curious because of other peoples negative comments then I would say dont pay any attention as overall its a fantastic phone and well worth getting. You wouldnt be disapointed and everyone else will drool when you get it out of your pocket. I dont know if you could say the same about a "nokia" :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] freyberry:
No, the only issue that really existed was the SMS issue but that's been solved with patches from HTC.

Screen issue can be solved simply by reducing sensitivity.

All the other issues do not exist. There is no extreme battery drain, no lag and no ROM flash issues.
[HD2 General] omershahab:
I've had mine since Thursday afternoon as well and have been spending all day for the past few days playing with this phone, applying updates, and customizing it.

After the first couple days of getting used to it and getting everything set how I like it, I'm extremely satisfied.

This is clearly one of the best two phones in the world.

I would say it's tied with iPhone because iPhone has the best apps.

The HTC HD2 hardware wise is easily the best phone available right now.
[HD2 General] lude219:
I'm sure you meant nokia x6? If that's the case, the HD2 is a nice upgrade over that one...in every way imaginable.
[HD2 General] SOLRAC13:
No no no the SMS bug is not been fix even the latest patch didn't fix it:(

The Pink Spot stil there is just not so strong as before but stil there :(

The craky sound + up dawn volume issue while in call stil there in many devise

So cross your fingers and pray before buying it ;) so you get a zero bugs devise GL

PS if i was you i would wait 8 more weeks to see what other vendors are coming with :)
