[HD2 General] ardsar:
Host mode works great. To further enhance this, there is now a tweak on his forum to allow you to replace the network operators name with the current profile. Clicking on this will launch PA Host.

QUESTION:

Have you had to set "use broker" for alarms to get the email notification to work. Without this option set, i only get the notification when i wake up the device. I'm guessing its due to using a custom rom (pandora 1.3). Using the broker option does solve the issue.
[HD2 General] thegios:
is this an option of the application?
[HD2 General] twisted-pixel:
more like a stand alone way of running the app
[HD2 General] ardsar:
yes. Host mode is used when you do not have the today screen active - ie when running manila. Host mode will be enabled by default on the HD2 and an icon will appear in the top bar. This can be hidden and a shortcut used to open phonealarm if you prefer.

Its a great app with many options including data counter, call costs, automatic profile changes etc etc
[HD2 General] thegios:
Thanks, one more: will it work INSTEAD OF the WM alarms function or will it have it's own handler?

I mean: if I set an alarms in this app, will it be set also in the WM alarms or does the app handle alarms in a completely different way (and this latter case, should I disable WM default alarms?)
[HD2 General] snerkler:
I was very interested in this app until I saw the price. Why is so much stuff so expensive for windows phones? I had the iphone before and hardly had to pay for anything I wanted, and if I did it would be less then £1.00 :(
[HD2 General] thegios:
then go back to iphone...
[HD2 General] snerkler:
I wasn't dissing the HD2, it was just a genuine question as to why everything costs so much on windows phones as I don't understand? If one platform can give so much for free, or very cheap why not another? Is it people trying to cash in, or is it down to something like the costs to develop the programs?
[HD2 General] thegios:
my guess: iphone apps are an hipe now so there are a lot more ppl downloading apps from apple store rather then wm apps, so developers can make more money by quantity rather than price...

In addition apple store cuts down a lot advertising costs as all iphone apps are in one single place, so developer does not need an extra effort (read: money) to advertise his app on too many websites/forums/etc)
[HD2 General] snerkler:
Ok, that makes sense. If that is the case then having a dedicated 'app' store should help bring the costs down. One day hopefully :)
[HD2 General] ardsar:
It is totally customisable. For instance you can select whether you want phonealarm to control email, sms, mms, im, missed calls etc notifcations or leave it to WM. Also it gives you the ability to set repeat alarms, again completely customisable for each alert. The alarm function is not tied to WM and therefore resolves many issues that others have faced.

There is a trial that can be downloaded - fully working for 14 days. Suggest you give it a test drive. It will take some time to become familiar with the many options. There are skins that can be used to make it look more flash - all the info is on the forum. The support from Bruce is excellent. I had an issue this morning with the latest beta and within 1 hour i had a fix for it!.
[HD2 General] thegios:
I've read on a couple of forums that latest versions crash HD2: is this correct?
[HD2 General] thegios:
there is, but is simply sucks... :-)

try OpnMarket

http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-opnmarket.html

similar to apple store for only freeware apps
[HD2 General] Sian:
For those who are interested in similar product, can try PhoneWeaver from SBSH or Phone Suite (or something like that) from SPB..
[HD2 General] ardsar:
I've never had any issues on my HD2.

Phone weaver doesn't have as many functions like call costs, data counter etc. i also found the profile options to be more limiting. Phonealarm gives u more for your money. However this is my opinion and others will have different views. try them and see ....
[HD2 General] thegios:
Does this mean that if I set an alarm with PhoneAlarm at lets'say 8:30 on the manila main page the alarms box (on the right of to the date box, just below the clock/weather box) will display OFF instead of 8:30?

Silly question...how do i register resco keyboard??? the trail has expired...but i cannot find anyway to register the software...please help...
[HD2 General] Archer:
Shouldn't you be asking Resco support that question?
[HD2 General] Theguru1:
well sometimes it is quicker here...as i i email resco 2 days ago and heard nothing...
[HD2 General] Neville.Holland:
Don't you go through the setting>input>resco kb???

Not sure, but recall seeing something similar
[HD2 General] laxity:
If I receive an SMS while my HD2 is locked, occasionally I have seen an additional slide to unlock button for the SMS. However, it is very rare that I see this additional button when I receive an SMS. Why is this function so inconsistent? Shouldn't this button appear on the lock screen every time there is a new SMS notification? Does anyone else see this inconsistent behavior too or is it just me?

Cheers,

Richard.
[HD2 General] Archer:
It appears when you tap the unlock button - it never just appears of it's own accord.

Hope this helps :)
[HD2 General] arxx:
I saw this once, when I was in a hurry.. never saw it since, and I was starting to believe i was dreaming it :)
[HD2 General] laxity:
Thanks, I'll give that a try. It does seem a bit silly why it doesn't appear without interaction though!
[HD2 General] Archer:
I quite like it not showing, to be honest. It would clutter the screen if you had a few different locks there by default when you had some unread texts and emails.

Each to their own eh? ;)
[HD2 General] Benz-Driver:
I need a guide how to take off the screen from the backcover. There are 4 screws, but when you remove them, the screen doesn't move, also when using a vacuum pump.

Is there a special trick to get the display removed?

I know, a guy @ www.xda-china.com has managed to disassemble the HD2, but as i don't understand chinese i can't register there and ask him.
[HD2 General] FordPrefect:
No idea about your question, but did you ever try the google translation tools on this web site? It should be possible to translate it to English at least. Mabye that brings you forward ...
[HD2 General] ralphfx:
Request!

When taking your HD2 apart, could you PLEASE do the following:

Take high resolution pictures of the chips inside (pref. ALL chips)

A lot of us here really want to know what the memory chips say and what the broadcom chip says!

This would help a lot in the possible (if possible) development of a FM transmitter driver/app for the HD2 and it would once and for all answer the question if we have 448MB or 576MB of RAM and 512MB or 1GB of ROM.

Thanks a lot!
[HD2 General] nitrate:
AGREE!

Yeah, i totally agree with ralphfx.

In this thread, i also requested some high quality pictures of the chips located inside the HD2 - the Boradcom chip especially.

This would be highly appreciated.
[HD2 General] lorezz:
yeah,we are all interested about ram rom and comm chipset....we really appreciate if you take photos about this argument....
[HD2 General] br3nt:
1. have a nice insurance

2. use excessive force

3. take pictures

4. call the insurance company, tell them someone bumped in to you on the bus and the phone fell and people walked on it

5. Win Win situation, we get pics, you get new phone ;)

may I ask why you want to open it? :)
[HD2 General] Benz-Driver:
because the right upper corner of the display is lower than the other three corners and i would like to fix this. But i won't do that unless i have a really good guide, in order not to destroy the HD2.
[HD2 General] archvile77:
i can recognize the same thing on my phone (at least it seems to be so). but:

(1) it is maybe 0.1mm difference at the top right corner _at most_ (just feelable when you move your fingers over the corners slightly and compare)

(2) there is no difference in the other corners, especially not in the lower left one. which makes me assume that it is not the screen that is tilt, but the frame that is bend. (did you check that with a master tool? maybe difficult due to the keys at the bottom...)

anyway, the difference is (at least over here) so small i didnt even realize it until i read your thread and took a _very_ close look at mine. of course, how bad it really is is highly subjective and as we all want pictures from the chips inside as well: plz go ahead! (and someone give him that howto finally!) :p
[HD2 General] thinman24:
I had to remove the camera from my HD and here is how I have done it:

(This information is provided as is without warranty to accuracy. I take no responsibility for your action. Removing the back cover will void the warranty!)

Image 1:

Remove the 4 Screws. As you see on the Image, two of the screws have a stickers on them. I tried but I couldn't remove them in one piece. From this point on, you no longer have warranty on your phone!)

Image 2:

To remove the back, you need a plastic tool like the one on the Image.

Do not use metal or other hard tools. (They will damage the very soft and fragile frame and your phone will look ugly.)

Image 3 - Top:

These are the hooks that keep the top in place. You have to insert the plastic tool between the display and the frame and very carefully disengage the hooks on both sides.

Image 3 - Bottom:

The bottom side of the cover. On this side there are no hooks only a long retaining edge. At the reassembly this edge clips in first and then the top hooks snap in.

That's all. I haven't disassembled the phone any further as I only needed to get to the camera.

For all of you, who are not allowed to carry a phone with camera at work: this is your device! As there is no second forward facing camera, only the main camera must be removed. It is held by a cage (see last image). This can be carefully pried up and turned to the side. Then the camera can be removed and the cage closed again. Be very careful! The release for the cage is above some capacitors and you have not much space to work. Use a sharp and tiny screwdriver.

The camera driver is intelligent enough not to cause any side effects. When the camera software is started, nothing happens. No error message, no freezing, nothing. :)

I closed the camera hole with a piece of black plastic (from the back of a CD cover) and so it still looks fine.

The HD2 is the best business phone and it is a real joy to use in a daily basis...

Cheers,

Thinman
[HD2 General] lorezz:
you've solved your problem?
[HD2 General] bulanula:

[HD2 General] Spike15:
Why would you not be allowed to carry a phone with a camera at work?
[HD2 General] the_scotsman:
Security...
[HD2 General] thinman24:
I'm sorry, I can't do that. I took the images in December right after my phone arrived and as you know: never change a runnig system... :)

The Frame around the Display is VERY soft and disassembling the phone repeatedly will certainly introduce some dents and bumps.

I had two minor ones (due to the fact, that there were no guides and I was looking for the hooks on the side) but I could smooth them out, so hey are barely visible.

I will check my images at home in the evening. Maybe I have one where the chip is visible but don't hold your breath as it wasn't my main concern back then.

I'm working in a Design Center of a car company... camera == loss of job, immediately. They take this very seriously here.

It's to the right of the Camera Opening on Image 3. It's attached to the back cover and is connected by springloaded contacts (can be seen on the last image).

There are no wires between the back cover and the Display/MainModule. Everything is connected by touch contacts. Makes the removal very simple.

Cheers,

Thinman
[HD2 General] thinman24:
I checked my photos, but the chips are covered so the images are not much use...

Lol...
[HD2 General] br3nt:
actually you made me lol :p

pretty common sense/logic that he is not allowed to use the camera inside the building in his line of work

another example is when I went to the VW/Audi factory in germany with my class a couple of years ago we had to turn in our phones at the entrance due to security reasons... also in places where there's government secrets/building - if you get caught in action you can get jail (something like that, was a while ago....) :)

As I don't have an unlimited data plan, I've installed "netdroid" which is supposed to toggle data and/or wifi on and off. (I use it only for data).

Problem is that at 1st use, it works fine (gprs connection and disconnection), but then I can't connect anymore, and only a soft reset can take care of that.

I don't think it's a problem with the application because I've tried it with "quick settings" and it does the same.

Thank you for any hint.

GPRS issue (rom modaco r13)

I have similar problem. GPRS works ok when i start my phone. I use apndroid to switch between gprs/wifi settings. After wifi use, my gprs settings doesn't work any more. Icon appears in taskbar, but it can't receive data. When i restart my phone, gprs works fine until i use wifi again. Is there some way to restart network on phone without restarting whole phone, and what is happening with network during restart?

Hello everyone, I am French I e is nowhere found a solution, a tutorial in French or someone to tell me how to make a wm6.5 ROM for KS20 ...

I have edited a configuration file backup ROM because there's departure 2 backup files already prepared, but the latter returns an error when we want to open them as files that are missing from the backup once I recomprend anything with dumps and all ...

Hey all, I bought HD2 a few days ago.

Still learning the WM stuff.

Contacts

I can't make contacts with many characters cus it's on the SIM, how do I transfer all contacts to my phone?

Ringtones

How I put my own ringtones?

Cus I saw that there's only built tones and u can't edit them or add my own.

Startup

One more thing, how can I make startup for apps that I want to be loading when turn-on mobile?

Thanks for the help, Ziv.
[HD2 General] Mikulec:
If u have the contacts only on your sim, u have to edit them(first copy them from sim to phone via sim manager)

U can put your own ringtone to your storage card/my documents/my ringtones

if u have to change the ringtones for sms, u need to copy them to windows folder
[HD2 General] Shivaziv:
I've done it already, "Save to Phone" option.

but still I can't rename my contacts if the name is too long.

u are probably trying to rename the contacts on your sim, u have to rename the ones that are stored on your phone

OK, I've downloaded SIPChange now it works thanks :)

and I still can't choose my own ringtones & sms.

I put it into the \Storage Card\My Documents\My Ringtones.

and the SMS ringtones I put it into \Storage Card\Windows\SMS not working.
