It is 19 degrees here, so if my weather tab wants to put me in Kingston Jamaica, I will go get packed now...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] abuiskool:
I also have this issue - with standard HTC Rom jan. '10

Hi,

I have the same issue, different locations of course ;-)

My location places me in the middle east instead of western europe...

If it takes my location from my tower location it doesn't make any sense....

Help...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jyears:
I'm getting the same issue, it also thinks I'm near Kingston in Jamaica.

I'm in North Wales, UK so was quite confused to pick up my phone see the clock on Eastern Caribbean time and 25C with thunderstorms...bit weird as it was snowing outside at the time.

Google maps also thinks I'm in Jamaica. Is this an issue with Google location services?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ThreeTima:
Kind of the same issue, but not really.

Ok, I kind of feel everyone's pain here. Since Sprint was gracious enough to release the Win6.5 & Touch Sense 2.5 upgrade (FINALLY, YOU SPRINT ********), I upgraded last night. Initially, it had said Minneapolis, MN. I am in MN, but not in Minneapolis. I am in Brainerd, MN.

Long Story short, a couple of times, I seen it actually default to Brainerd, MN. But Went to look again and found that it went Back to Minneapolis.

I guess what would really be good here is an application or extension of the HTC Sense Weather program that would allow for you to explicitly define what you want to see on your "Home" tab in HTC Sense.

Basically, the GPS, Tower, whatever it is... would be an excellent tool for travel and shouldn't be disabled, but only made as an option as part of the above suggested suggestion. If I could select it when I am traveling, and choose which city I wanted when I am not, this would be so much better.

Lastly, is there a way to make it updates it's location? Or even change and/or remove the "Detected" city?

Any Help would be appreciated.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] CreepinJesus:
This is really frustrating me now...

I've just moved house, and my phone is insistent on me still living in the old town. I can go anywhere and it will update to the nearest town correctly, but as soon as I'm back on my wireless network at home it always goes to my old home town.

I can remove my wireless network settings and just use 3G at home, and it gets the correct town. It's ONLY through my home wifi network that it chooses my old town! :confused:

Weather location

I think I have the same problem. My weather location isn't updating. I think it has something to do with the new radio 2.09
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Have you used any other apps (like google maps) to verify your ability to get a good GPS lock since upgrading to that radio? Somtimes after flashing to a new radio it's necessary to reestablish that ability before your My Location will update properly
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cartisdm:
Hey all, I don't know if this issue is the same as what I was having but I know how frustrated I was so I figured I'd pass along my results (I did finally solve it)

EDIT: crap, I can't post outside links. Go to AndroidForums and search for a thread called I feel like I'm in the effin twilight zone it was created by me (same username).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] slavasz:
In my case (Win6.5 TouchPro2):

Open GoogleMaps, let it use GPS, let GPS get hold of the satellites. Wait for a few minutes, let it download the map to show your location. Exit GoogleMaps.

Now MyLocation is correct, hence weather shown is correct.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] totter:
HTC HD2 weather location wrong.

uuuummmm, solution is embarissing.

Click on the time.

Choose my location (that will use the gps)

If your gps is not working, select your location.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hercule18:
Hi I built a little script to mount my SDcard @ startup of the phone and install some apps.

here it is:

sleep 2
busybox mount > /data/mount.txt
busybox ls /dev/block/vold >> /data/mount.txt
busybox mount -t vfat -o rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702,allow_utime=0020,shortname=mixed,utf8 /dev/block/vold/179:1 /sdcard >> /data/mount.txt
busybox mount >> /data/mount.txt

sleep 3
echo "APPS installation"
if [ -e /sdcard/Apps-install/install.txt ];
then
echo "found file" > /sdcard/Apps-install/install.txt
cd /sdcard/Apps-install
ls *.apk > ./apps.txt
for line in $(cat apps.txt); do install -c -D /sdcard/Apps-install/"$line" /data/app >> /sdcard/Apps-install/install.txt; done
echo "ok" >> /sdcard/Apps-install/install.txt
else
echo "file not found" > /sdcard/Apps-install/install.txt
fi;

sleep 2
echo "Finish"

if [ -e /data/firstboot.sh ];
then
busybox rm -f /data/firstboot.sh;
busybox rm -f /sdcard/Apps-install/apps.txt;
fi;

echo "Restart"
sleep 1
reboot

I'm sure that the code is well executed (as is have data in /data/mount.txt) but the mount of the SD and so every work related to the SD

What is strange is that script work if i execute it after the phone has completely started.

Can someone help please.

I am a long-time Mac user who also uses Windows on my Mac via Bootcamp partition, but I spend most of my time in in Mac OS. Is anyone here using the HD2 with a Mac?

What software works to sync calendar, documents, music, etc.? I've googled a few, but I was hoping for from an actual user with experience.

Thanks guys.
[HD2 General] hangyong:
I have been using syncmate
[HD2 General] adama1980:
I use it with my mac, syncmate is pretty good.

My preferred way is using google mail / contacts / calendar

You can sync ical, address book and mail with your google account. It then uses push through activesync to link up with your phone, works really well - I use mobileme on my mac and find this to be just as good (and also free :))

what about rom updating?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] prav345:
Hi

I've got a HTC Hermes that won't boot up properly.

I've had a quick search and can't find to find the exact same proble but apologies if this has already been raised.

I previously flashed my T-mobile ROM with RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.rar.

The problem started when I downloaded a Registry Optimizer from Windows Update. When I started using this my phone was not in airplane mode, and just hangs on the logo screen (this is the gold Tai Edition)

I tried to do a hard reset (this goes to the screen with the four colour bands on it), and then when I reset it again it just switches to the logo screen and stays there. After a while, the screen goes white and stays there

I've got only a basic knowledge of flashing ROMs and when I first flashed my ROM i used Hard SPL and the basic AT&T Windows 6.1 ROM, before using TAI's custom one.

I presume I need to try and re-install the ROM (via the SD card, as Active Sync doesn't recognise the phone)

I was aware of risks whilst using the Registry Optimizer and realise that this is my fault, so I'm not expecting any quick fixes

Would be grateful though if anyone could point me in the right direction, if my phone is recoverable, and not bricked.

Cheers
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
You flashed a rom for the Kaiser.... You have a Hermes...

Looks like a brick to me....

If you use the sd card method you might be able to fix BUT make sure its a Hermes rom....

Android Mate, as name suggests, implements what Android are missing.

* Organize apps with tags.

* Context menu on app for fast uninstall/stop.

* Backup/restore certain app.

* Kill running process.

* Powerful file manager.

* APK installer.

* Can be set as HOME.

HOME mode will make AM much faster.
[G1 Apps and Games] Meltus:
I guess it's useful and a good idea, but i have several free apps that do pretty much the same things.

So yeah, great idea and well implemented, but not for me :)

looks like a file browser used as home replacement app. The GUI needs a lot of work buts it a nice idea. Keep working on it!

Thank you guys. 1.0.3 is published with many improvement:

* Removed ads.

* Add wallpaper

* Be able to change app icon and name.

* Last not least, much faster!
[G1 Apps and Games] deuse:
thanks :)

I will have a look at this.
[G1 Apps and Games] bmfc187:
its an okay idea, but if you set this app as home you lose the ability to use widgets, only has ONE homescreen, i myself use seven so there's two definite NO's for setting this app as home, EVER. As a file explorer its a decent app, except it needs to have root permissions, everybody wants that. there are already hundreds of file explorers out there for free, and they all do the same thing...explore files. if you want any attention at all try your hand at putting out a GOOD root file explorer that is compatible with the ROMs that people wanna use them on, for free. nobody else is doing that. and its needed in this community. Estrongs is BY FAR my favorite, on CyanogenMod, but if i wanted to run Eclair, Estrongs forcecloses repeatedly and so its quite lacking in the compatibility department.

If you added root privileges to your app to allow users to see the contents of sytem directories normally hidden to normal users, THEN youd be onto something. but right now its just another file explorer, and that brings me to my next point which is that the installer tab is S-L-O-W A-S H-*-L-L...no offense but it needs major work, i have 68 apps installed and it takes a good 3 minutes to load them all. and if i try to do anything to interrupt the process like switch tabs or back out, it just takes longer, throws SEVERAL ANR's my way, then FREAKS OUT when it finally catches up.

im not saying these things to be hateful or degrade the app...these are just the things i see that [i personally think] need some work.

other than that, dev has come up with a great concept and cant wait to see what comes out of it!

Thank you for your comments!

"If you added root privileges to your app to allow users to see the contents of sytem directories normally hidden to normal users, THEN youd be onto something. but right now its just another file explorer,"

Will do it in future release.

and that brings me to my next point which is that the installer tab is S-L-O-W A-S H-*-L-L...no offense but it needs major work, i have 68 apps installed and it takes a good 3 minutes to load them all. and if i try to do anything to interrupt the process like switch tabs or back out, it just takes longer, throws SEVERAL ANR's my way, then FREAKS OUT when it finally catches up.

(first of all, I didn't knew where else to post this topic to ask this, excuse me if it's posted somewhere wrong)

So I kinda gave up on my magic, R.i.P.

now i was wondering...

that if I take my phone back to the store... and that i shouldn't get a new one immediatly, bcuz they have to send it to htc facotry... how big is the chance they will know I rooted it and it didn't just mallfunction from its own?

or isn't it possible that they just throw in some new rom? They made it so it shouldn't be to hard to get that fixed...

anyone perhaps has experience with sending back his phone or going back to the store?

tell me what happened... did you get a new one, did you had to pay something to get it fixed or just bought a new phone...

all information is welcome either here on the board or by email first_dimension at hotmail dot com <-

thanks ahead guys...

uhm, while flashing it, it fell down of my desk, battery got disconnected, ...

now i get my "proximus" (wich is my mobile provider) startup screen, wich doesn't go away

cant enter boot menu (by pressing menu + power on)

nor safe mode (home + power on)

cant even connect to my computer to flash a new rom or anything...

so it's completely bricked i been looking on the internet for days now tried every solution...

nada man...

nothing more than my startup screen...

(edit)

the only thing i can still do is like, when i hit the trackball and power on button it lights up a blue led...

but i read every magic does that even if not bricked...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bunu:
I heard that someone thought they bricked their phone because they couldn't do anything with all the button combinations but when they tried fastboot it worked and unbricked their phone. I mean he didn't go into fastboot, he just plugged his phone in via usb and just tried fastboot.

I'm saying try fastboot. If that doesn't work then I'm sorry but you have to return it to get it fixed:( but since they can't get into anything I'm sure they won't know that it is bricked.;)

The HD2 is great but:

After installing a few programms (no matter which ones)

my HD2 gets into a reboot cycle.

I then have to hard reset to get the HD2 working again.

A few installations later I get the next reboot cycle.

What can I do?

I have tried 3 different cooked ROMS, but it's always the same.

Thanks best wishes Uli
[HD2 General] Bimme:
think you´ve tried to flash an official Rom ?
[HD2 General] optiknerv:
Read HERE and follow the steps. You've installed a few custom ROMs before it happened right? Its because installing custom ROMs on top of each other can lead to errors that can cause problems like hard reset cycles. MTTY formats the storage before you flash your ROM making a nice clean canvas to write on to.
[HD2 General] uli77:
reboot cycle

Hello optiknerv

Thanks for your reply!

I had this problem from the very first ROM I flashed.

[HD2 General] pricefix23:
That happened to me too...

Take the battery out.

Take the memory card out.

Replace the battery and boot to the Today screen.

Put your memory card back in.

Should work fine.

It might be something to do with a recently installed app on the Storage Card, so remove those you've loaded lately and reinstall to Device?
[HD2 General] antoniusmax:
I think it would help that before you flash a custom ROM you must flash first the stock one from which the custom was made and always perform two hard resets.

copy all files from existing sdcard to your computer. then simply transfer them back to the new sdcard using a card reader. or, use your phone to transfer if you have no card reader.

First make sure you format the new SD then just copy all to new SD, no reinstalling of programs necessary
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kierandill:
One caveat is that some software can actually be tied to the ID of the SD card upon install (i.e. Garmin) and thus can't just be copied over and still work. But those are the exceptions.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fone_fanatic:
as kierandill mentioned, some apps are tied to the ID of the SD card and would require you to re-enter your registration code.

But i've swapped SD cards many times and haven't faced any issues and all i did was simply copy all the files from one card to the other.
