I was obviously being sarcastic, but in case yours doesn't do this...

All the people in my contact list have the same full name or the same email address that they have on facebook (if they're on there).

I only have to manually link about 2 of them, out of about 30. I just go into the people tab, all people, and the updates and events tab (the figure with a clock next to the head) and perform an update there. It automatically links the majority of my facebook/contact matches.

Do you have to manually link them all 1-by-1?

I just set my wallpaper to animated, but selected a static one, and then set it back to the weather one. I also did a registry dump of HKCU before and after setting it back to the weather one, and I found 1 change when I'd set it to a non-weather background.

Try setting this registry key. You'll need a reset afterwards.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]

"Home.WallpaperMode"=dword:00000002

Hope this helps :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] [★]:
Well I dont tend to put peoples email adresses in, but what your saying is that if I just bother to do it once (then it will always be saved when I use ppc pim backup) When I reload them on it will automatically link facebook profiles?

00000002 hexadecimal right? making the decimal 2? (Sorry I dont know much about the registry) I just tried that and nothing seems to have happened, I came back after restarting and the clouds/rain ect arent over the screen but I still cant change to an animated background (which btw Im not using actual animated bg's Im using still ones)

Have I done something wrong?

Thanks for the help :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
That's how I do it, yeah, and it automatically links them fine.

Yep - 0x00000002 = 2, so you know more than you think ;)

If it's turned the weather animation off, then I'd say it's worked. Go to Menu, Home Wallpaper, and select Weather Wallpaper. Then browse for the background you want for the home page. Once you've got that, set that registry key and restart.

If the wallpaper doesn't change when you do it that way either, then it probably is the quicklinks change that's broke something, so I'd recommend looking at HDWall. If you don't know what it is, it's a cab creator for wallpapers that allows high quality images (not the downsized version that you get if you let the UI set it), and you can have it on all tabs too. I have 20 quicklinks and HDWall works great for me.

Anyway, lets see how you get on with changing the wallpaper first.

Hope this helps :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] [★]:
Yeah I got the decimal thing correct, but still it didnt work :(

+I have used hdwall before, but dont tend to bother as it causes

problems with manila 1922, but I gave it another go but nothing

changed.

In one last attempt I went onto the registry and changed the default wallpaper, but not I just have a white one lol @_@

Experts, I'm desperate! I gave my lil bro my old phone, but stupid enough of me, I left all of my settings the way it was, also the exchange settings with work. He logged on with msn and synced all his contacts, agenda, tasks etc with my contacts etc. And now I lost everything! How can I do a roll back?

Old phone is an WM 6.1 HTC touch cruise (phone of my lil bro), the new phone is the HTC HD2 WM 6.5 (my own), don't think this will matter though.

Thanks!

-edit

I still have the old outlook.ost file, where I found my 'old' contacts and calendar items. But when I tried to sync it says it need to make contact with the server, but I dont want that! How can I achieve this?

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] yasinism:
Just thought i would share this with you guys.

You can now watch bbc iplayer on your windows mobile device via the pre installed opera web browser. No need to install any extra apps It involves making a simple change in opera.

To see how just go to youtube and type 'How to use BBC iPlayer on your Windows Mobile phone' Its the first video on the results page.

Took me 30 seconds to do on my diamond2 and it works flawlessly.

enjoy!!:D

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] yasinism:
bbc iplayer howto--

sorry if my post was a bit vague... here is what you need to do.

1. power up opera

2. type in the address bar opera:config

3. scroll down to 'user prefs'

4. scroll down to the 'custom user agent field'

5. edit this field by adding sgh-i900 at the end of what is already in the field.

6. then scroll to the botom of the page and hit the save buton.

7. then press ok to the pop up box that appears.

8. Then go to the address bar and type bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer/

Thats it !!

Basically what you are doing is fooling opera to think that you are using a samsung omnia i900.

tested it yesterday and it works excellently without any issues

enjoy!!!:D

Strangely, the BBC tells me I can't stream their programmes over 3G unless I'm with 3 or Vodafone. Yet, myPlayer lets me stream over 3G with tmobile!

Still, it's nice to have the BBCs comprehensive listing and interface available over wifi.

Didn't work me

I used to play bbc iplayer on my Xperia x1 few months ago then I updated to W.M 6.5 + X2 Panels and now I have problems to connect. I tried with CorePlayer + myPlayer application, I have tried with a Opera modified with sgh-900 in opera:config....nothing...I'm not sure now if is the phone that now have some compatibility problems or seems that the BBC put some kind of block or wall to stop hacking iplayer. Does anybody have any solution?

Thanks.

Many thanks to ALL of the developers who have spent many hours developing the Manilla 2.5 w/ landscape support which can be enhanced by MaxManilla 2.8beta but .... I have had so many issues with first one thing then another with so many differnt ROM's I was wondering

who out there is using SPB Mobile Shell and specifically which custom ROM they are finding a good fit with

?

I know it isn't about a specific ROM but I thought I'd ask the question so future users of SPB Mobile Shel who were looking for a custom ROM could use this thread and report thier experiences in the future.

Probably won't try for long but at least to see what its like again.

[HD2 General] Sunil_237:
hi, i have not had a smart phone before and am not to sure on how the bands work but think i have a problem.

my phone is from Virgin mobile and running 1.48 stock rom, manila and radio 2.05.

few questions i'd like to ask before you read what i think my problem is.

1. is the internet supposed to run off 3g when not on wifi?

2. is 3g faster than "H"?

my problem: 3g is active, data connection is off. i open opera (or anything else) and 3g trys to connect, 3g sign disappears and "H" appears. data connection is on and using "Virgin GPRS".

i called virgin mobile tech support and they said it is meant to go through gprs.. lie?

i called htc and they said they don't think it is a problem with my phone...

i have done a hard reset.

i think it is either the 3g doesn't work, or there is something really wrong with the settings, or virgin mobile makes it like this?

please help as i may want to return it if this causes a big problem for me.
[HD2 General] Archer:
There's nothing wrong with the phone mate.

You've got GPRS (2G) and 3G which includes HSPDPA (and HSUPA). HSDPA is the fastest of those types, 3G slower, and GPRS the slowest. Your phone will try and use the best connection available, and that just depends on the coverage in your area (and how good the phone's reception is). If you're getting a strong and steady signal, I really wouldn't worry about it.

Basically, HSDPA is a faster version of 3G.
[HD2 General] Sunil_237:
but my sisters 3g (on o2 iphone) is faster (by a lot... and then some) than mine.

ran the same video on youtube (wifi disabled) and she got done in a matter of seconds while i was buffering mid stream :(

with the coverage checker i ran before i got the phone it said my area was "very good" and i get 3 bars usually.

o it is connecting through gprs not HSPDPA, in the connections screen it shows "Virgin GPRS"
[HD2 General] Archer:
All I can say is that she must have a better signal with O2 than you have with Virgin.
[HD2 General] DuoM:
1) Yes

2) No. H is a faster type of 3G.

My only worries with Virgin and 3G are wether they cap the actual download bandwidth available to handsets at 384kbps (despite the phone connecting with HSDPA - I had this problem with T-Mobile), wether they cap the upload speed at 44kbps and wether they block the Skype ports.

The connection name, Virgin GPRS, is just the name they gave to their data connection when they setup your phone. It could actually say anything you want if you change the settings in the phone.
[HD2 General] DuoM:
It's possible that she has a better signal than you but I find that 3G coverage on O2, especially HSDPA coverage is generally significantly worse than coverage on T-Mobile (Virgin use their network).

However it could also be that the bandwidth is capped at a pretty low level on Virgin (3G rather than HSDPA despite the symbol), which I mentioned in my previous post.
[HD2 General] Sunil_237:
o ok. ok ok. ok lol satisfied with some logical and knowledgable answers.

i believe they will have capped the data rate then (i haven't had signal problems for 7 years now on 4 different providers and the coverage map showed a very good signal for 3g here), if you can provide me with an app which would test.. o maybe speedtest.net may work i'll try them now and let you know.

I'm using a WinMo 6.5 ROM. Can't find the link at the mo, but it's a ROM designed to replicate an official SEX1 release - no junk or anything included.

I've only had this problem since using this ROM, but my handset was always notorious for screwing up factory resets. A few weeks ago my files slowly became corrupted until such time as the device became unusable.

Same problem with the SXGU 1.5 Plus ROM. Massive shame. Just lost a load of stuff too! :(
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spikegotti:
this problem and any problem cannot be rom related unless

everyone

using the same rom experiences the same thing... in other words, if you experienced a problem after flashing any rom and others haven't with the same rom, then i suggest to check elsewhere like how u flashed, what u flashed before and so on....

problems after flashing are mostly solved by flashing a stock rom, task29 and

flash via RUU

and not SD method
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caliban2:
not true.

this can and can not happen on the same rom.

there are two possibilities:

- it's rom related and many, but not all are getting it - change rom-version.

- something's messed up which task29 will NOT fix - flash stockrom

i had the second one and it took me some time to figure out that task29 didn't fix it. stockrom performs task28, if i'm not mistaken.

it's definitely NOT hardware related!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spikegotti:
dude, if the problem lies within the rom, which means everyone using the same rom should experience the same very problem... if not then its either hardware related or files remained on the device from previous flashes that caused conflicts with the current rom

check this

i can either be hardware or conflicts with previous files, but definitely not a rom issue since others have no problems...

and this goes for any rom

its common sense to understand that

i remembered i had a perfect device few weeks ago, i flashed a rom and tested some stuff, didnt like it so i went back to the rom that was perfect, unfortunately, my device had tons of SOD and resets, i was pissed and had to use a rom i hated, but then i remembered someone sayign something about flashing stock rom again, so said so done, i task29 then reflashed that perfect rom, right now im still using it with no issues whatsoever
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caliban2:
dude, you're not talking to a total n00b here... so maybe you could change your tone a bit?!

if your logic was to be true, everyone on the same rom would get SoD if the rom has it - but... and the same goes for this hardreset-thingy - it's not "either everyone gets it or noone", it's an individual bug. but some roms seem to be more prone to have it than others.

sometime this year (about february?) you'd see reports of this in almost every rom-thread. it's rather rare now... (assisted, but not only caused by task29)

and again: it's nothing to do with faulty hardware - or it would be uncurable.

dude.

edit:

and that "someone saying to flash stockrom..."? that could (!) have been me, as i left a note on that some time ago in task29-thread. :p (i said "could"!!!)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spikegotti:
lol i dont think u understood me, as i said, it is not rom related...

if a problem was caused because of a fault in the rom, everyone using the rom would experience the same problem, its not logic, its common sense...

why do we task29? to remove files from previous roms right? which means that it has nothing to do with the rom... chances are it could be hardware related too, note i said chances... for who dont know, windows 7 isthe first OS from M$ that can actually wipe a partition clean, leaving no trace of anything behind that no forensic kit can detect... however we task29 our devices to remove these files that remain and cause conflicts with newely installed roms

if i delete solitaire.exe from the sys, cook a rom, no one would get solitaire to play by default, why? because its a default rom issue caused on my part so no one will get it to work just like that

sometimes before we think about criticizing something we use, we first should ask if anyone is having the same problem, if all does who used the same product, then the problem is the product itself, you dont have to be a noobie/senior to figure that out... its plain common sense

btw, sometimes i personally have 2 xperias here with me flashing, wanna know the weird thing? my own device causes problems when flashing roms at times, my friend's xperia flashes with no problems, no SODS nothing...

as i keep saying, its only rom related if everyone using the same rom gets the issue
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caliban2:
rofl, stubborn he is... :p

okay, it's not rom-related as in "the rom is faulty". but just because noone else gets it with a certain rom doesn't mean it's not related to the rom at all. as i said, there was a time when many roms were affected (but never all users!), it was probably build-related (234xx - something around that).

it's not hardware. that's for sure.

but there are individual circumstances (something messed up in bootloader - well no, not bootloader, but in that area, you get me) which can cause this. most of the time these are cured with task29, but not always - then you need (!) stockrom.

so let's settle on this, shall we?

whoever experiences this, try task29. if it doesn't help, flash stockrom and try custom-rom again. :)

about your solitair.exe:

if it was always that simple, bugfixing would be very easy because everyone would expirience the same bugs. (if caused by rom) well, it isn't that way, we all know that. :)

read this, i've been the only one with this bug on that particular rom-version. and i've tried a lot of things. i even got itje to make a test-rom with his old kitchen because of this... (guess his reaction when i told him what cured it, hehe... :p )
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spikegotti:
lol dude, i know what u are trying to say, but to say because not everyone using the roms gets the problem doesnt mean its not rom related just doesnt make any sense, if its rom related then everyone using the rom should experience it, how can a product have a defect with only some people and not others when everyone is using the same exact product??? ever thought of the fact that it might be something else causing the problem outside the rom by forcing such issues to occur?

dont think my device never had issues, i did, but never once i re-developed a rom because of an issue... reflashing stock and task29 after fixed all my issues of instability... that rom i told you about that was perfect, you think i re-cooked it because my device was unstable? no, because i know that my device was perfect before so it was not the rom, but it was my hardware not functioning as it should when flashing, meaning the system was never clean of previous files, so conflicts occur... remember that poster who flashed a rom and the bootscreen from the previous was still on the device after flashing a new rom???? thats what im talking about

... but i do agree that it has something to do with the bootloader...

do you know that some of us have never seen the headphone icon on any stock rom via SEUS, some people seen it some havent, the only time i see the icon is when i flash a custom rom, but i have never seen it on any stock rom since i bought my x1 brand new from sony...

its either
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] at45:
My experience would lead me to disagree with both of you. If I flash back to my previous ROM, everything's fine; if I install Gtrab's or Spike's I get this damn bug, but it's different on each. With Gtrab's the phone formats itself; with Spikes' the phone boots into a black illuminated screen after a crash and requires re-flashing, or all data wiping.

It would be great if I could get back today's data though before flashing a stock ROM. Anyone know how I might?

Edit: It booted once when I connected the USB and took out the microSD, (I got my data!) but now it hangs on the SE boot logo. IE, ROM erased. I'll give the ROM one more shot since it really is brilliant other than this bug and an issue with the keyboard.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spikegotti:
dude, if you havent tried to flash the stock rom you cannot say u disagree with us, try it first and see...

so many people are currently using x1.5 home plus, check the rom thread and see for yourself, no one else is having your issue... flash the stock rom, there is a thread with the stock rom on the rom forum... then report back to us.... btw, i too am using x1.5 home plus as from today and i reinstalled all my apps
