to start with: I wouldn't suggest restoring a registry (and files) onto another ROM as it can undo the improvements in the latest ROM.

but what do you mean with duplicate entries? do you mean under start?

maybe you have double shortcuts under windows\startmenu\programs ?
[HD2 General] morpheus1982:
Thanks for the prompt response. I only restored my contacts and registry as I was informed that for small upgrades releases this wouldnt be an issue.

Anyway to clarify I mean the list of installed application under Remove Programs...

Thanks.
[HD2 General] intgom:
Weird problem here... the clock on my HD2 is always about 4 minutes ahead of the actual time. I think it picks up the time from the network provider (in my case Vodafone) but wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this problem (on Vodafone or others).

I've tried a soft reset but that doesn't help.

Interestingly, I've tried another vodafone SIM (older one), which is not GPRS/3G enabled and the time is spot on!

Any ideas / suggestions gratefully received...

Thanks,

intgom

[HD2 General] leftkats:
hey mate... I don't know if this is responsible for that, but try going in Settings Tab-> Data Services and disable Internet time sync... Since you mention that you have used a non internet enabled sim card, I am assuming is just that.. When you say is 4 minutes fast, do you mean faster than your hand watch lets say or faster than your pc time which synchronises with internet? hope this helps :D
[HD2 General] intgom:
Thanks leftkats. The time is 4 mins faster than my watch, wall clock and pc time, all of which are the same as: http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/info/current-time.htm

I disabled internet time sync and soft-reset - no change. I could of course set the time manually, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having such a device.

I noticed that when re-enabling internet time sync, the warning message about extra charges mentions wireless provider, not data provider. Any idea where it's going for it's time sync?

hi, im about to update to the latest ROM 1.66 and have started backing up my data. ive copied my contacts onto the SIM but how do i export all my text messages, if i try to copy onto SIM they are too big so i need to export somehow ?? many thanks in advance
[HD2 General] romac:
Use a free program called PIM backup. It will backup and restore all emails, txt, contacts, etc.
[HD2 General] XTREEM|RAGE:
Or use the build in option 'Microsoft My Phone', but you need a live account for this (msn). Works great though!
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
You can also use apps such as SPB Backup.

SPB Backup will infact backup the entire system for you including everything you may have installed.
[HD2 General] andi1977dog:
thanks ! :D

loads of good suggestions.
[HD2 General] romac:
Sorry, you cannot use SPB Backup and backup to a different ROM, you will get errors.

hi all,

i want to write an app . When some events ( like left button) happen , it open a process and type some words on notepad.

How to do it?

Look up CreateProcess and keybd_event. You'll need some glue code, but those are the two 'main' function you'll need.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] phony:
My congratulations to all the cooks for doing the best they can with Windows Mobile. It is hard to wrestle with a system that itself is greatly lacking.

Now, after trying ROM after ROM, I have yet to find one that "just works".

So, please post your experiences, have you tried many ROMs? Which one was most stable for you? Which OS/Manilla versions are the most stable?

I have flashed over 25 ROMs now and before I thought WM 6.1 was most stable but now I think 6.5.3 and up seems to be pretty good.

I am still undecided on Manila though...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DavidMc0:
I found the recent Energy ROMs with any version of Windows mobile (6.5.3 or 6.5) & Manila 2.1 to be very stable, and they 'just worked' fine.

I'm sure there are many other ROMs that also work fine with Manila 2.1, however I'm yet to find any ROM that works perfectly with Manila 2.5, which is hardly surprising, but they are making good progress & should improve significantly if the Topaz official Manila 2.5 turns out to be more suited to the Rhodium's slower hardware.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] phony:
I agree, there seems to be a lot of people saying Energy ROMs are good in terms of stability. I also like AthineOS ones too, probably because they are stripped down of extraneous stuff quite well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] quarintus:
So the most stable and fast ROMS at the moment are:

Josh's ROM perfect black.

And now I'm using the cell pro ROMs. (I'm using the cell pro evo 6 ROM)

It's very very fast, and very stable with all the functionality. It's my favorite. He has 2 version, the EVO PRO and the PRO. The Pro is probably more stable, but I'm using EVO (6.5.*) and haven't had any issues yet.

I also used the energy roms, pretty stable, but not as stable as the other's I mentioned. Also the speed isn't that good compared to the other 2 ROMs.

The energy ROM especially excells in new software and visuals.

But this discussion isn't so great because my experience is that within a few weeks the awnser to your question is very diffrent. Also it's a personal experience.. The last time I used the energy Rom was 4 weeks ago. So maybe things have changed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] phony:
Hmm, I was just using Cell Pro Evo 6 and had some real headaches with it, like syncing issues and freezes. The syncing thing was a very unique problem. I flashed a new ROM and the problem was gone, so I know it was the ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] pnxsinned:
I know its your exchange server or whatever you use for syncing, since it works like a charm here on V6. I also have had 0 freezes on the ROM.

Hi,

I am switching over to Super D 1.8 from Super D 1.6. I have nandroid the 1.6 and flashed 1.8. How do I move over all my app and other data from 1.6 to 1.8? Also, are the steps the same when switching across different roms such as moving from Super D 1.6 to Eclair?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alphabet Soap:
you can use one of the backup tools from the market, like Backup for root users, and restore them that way, although personally i don;t bother backing up my apps when i use it as they tend to come back a bit buggy when you restore them to another build and don't link up correctly with the market for updates.

you could just re download them - everytning you had before should still be in your downloads section for the market and if you're on wifi it shouldn't take too long (unless you've got hundreds of apps)

or you could be lazy and do what i did - flash 1.8 over 1.6 with no wipe - doesn't always work and definitely not recommended when going from one dev's work to another's, but this upgrade worked fine for me :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junkdruggler:
I usually back them up in a folder on my sd

mkdir sdcard/backup

cp /system/sd/app/* /sdcard/backups

then go in manually and reinstall them plus you will have a backup JIC

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Sian:
Unfortunately, the only smiley giving application called SmileySMS does not work with HD2 cause of HTC Messaging.

I'm in Oz, one of the many countries that are not USA, where there are no unlimited data plans. Now I have a plan that gives me an amount of credit that includes both data and calls, but if I go over my monthly limit the costs are astronomical.

Is there any way to turn data on and off? Right now I go into network and select 'work' vs the mobile network for accessing internet. But it's really clunky if I want to just check some email, etc. Most of the time I want it off so the weather apps etc don't 'accidentally' connect and waste my credit.

Hi,

you can use "nodata" (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=377530) or "Dial-up EnablerDisabler" (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=610657). I prefer the second one because it has a nice manila-style and fits perfectly.

what to do all the setting is ok
[HD2 General] Jawb:
To make my MMS work I had to do (and this is translated so might differ a little):

Message tab -> All -> Menu -> Settings -> Settings -> Menu -> MMS-server -> your profile -> then the connection was set to GPRS or WAP, change this to My ISP or My work network.
[HD2 General] loney_frsu:

What ROM are you using? I do know that some of the more recent ROMs have this particular problem.
[HD2 General] chrisdadd:
MMS not working on Vodafone HD2

I've followed the instructions on the vodafone.co.uk site carefully for MMS server settings but my device simply fails to send OR receive MMS. This is highly annoying for such a new device.

HELP! Someone must have it sorted.
[HD2 General] hixxy666:
I have exactly the same problem except im an o2 uk user, cant send or recieve mms when using a cooked rom. :(
[HD2 General] Yorkshire Yellow:
And the same for me on VF UK. Can't send or receive MMS. Did you ever get it sorted?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
not sure about vf, but for o2, you need two data connections setting up. 1 is wap, for mms, and the other is for actual data. If you set the mms server settings to use the normal data connection, it simply wont work.

Problem is when you go to settings menu all settings connection connection select networks edit, it only shows the currently selected data connection, you cant see that there is another connection setting there. So, you need to change teh top dropdown to the second data connection (o2 active its called for o2, whilst the normal data is called mobile web) and THEN you can see/edit teh settings for that connection.

the mms server settings need to be told to use O2 active and not mobile web, else it wont work.

Just some thoughts.
[HD2 General] the_rascal:
O2 user - same problem

I've just come back from an O2 shop, where one of the "experts" there failed miserably to get my phone to send or receive an MMS. I share all of the above frustrations.

samsamuel - could you do a step-by-step guide to the set-up you describe? I would like to try this but I am struggling to follow your explanation.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
sorry, my hd2 is back at O2 being fixed, and its not easy to do a step by step from memory.

I shall bookmark this thread and try to remember to come back and write a manual guide when it comes back. (Should be teh end of this week, all being well)

ok, so heres what i did last time i manually set up mms for o2.

settings menu all settings connections connections add new modem

name o2 active (tho of course name doesnt matter)

modem cellular line gprs

AP name wap.o2.co.uk

user o2wap

pass password

domain blank

then, sms tab, all messages, menu settings options menu mms server new

name o2 active MMS (again, name doesnt matter)

ip 193.113.200.195

port 8080

server add h ttp://mmsc.mms.02.co.uk:8080

connect via **choose the name you gave the modem connection in part 1**

if you choose your normal data connection it wont work, it needs to be o2s wap server.

message size 300k

wap ver wap 2.0

soft reset, and it 'should' work.

I got HD2 last week and I can connect to everything(HTC Sense weather etc) online via mobile network except checking my email and MSN Messenger. Those two only work then the phone in on wifi.

I have a 10 GB data plan as part of my subscription so I should be able to use those. Have I done a setup error? Or could it be my mobile provider blocking usage of those two services?

I have looked at my mobil providers homepage and it says nothing about those two service being blocked.

Any thoughts?
[HD2 General] slimadey:
In your internet settings unselect "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet". I had the same problem on T Mobile UK and now everything works.
[HD2 General] G-ThGraf:
Yes, Sometimes after soft reset... But fix it is easy.
[HD2 General] Euroman28:
if unselect this proxyserver setting isn't something to do with security by the mobile provider?
[HD2 General] MSP84:
Thanks alot. It works for me too :)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
no, the proxy just holds copies of web pages soo that you don't connect to the website every time. there is no difference by not using the proxy
[HD2 General] shortie1987:
I am having this same problem, but i have checked the proxy settings and the proxy is not configured.

any other ideas what it could be?

PS, I'm on vodafone if it makes any difference.

Thanks
[HD2 General] pat12:
I guess that your data plan covers only Internet browsing (port 80 and 443), email is on port 110 (in) and 25 (out) and Messenger on still another port, they must be blocked as you guessed in your first post. Orange implemented the same kind of restriction in France with its so called "Internet max" option, what a joke!
[HD2 General] ghost-5:
I have had this problem for 5 days now. I have tried different roms, hard resets and the proxy connection but it will not let me sign into msn or hotmail. Marketplace works fine though. I am also on vodafone but I tried to connect via a wifi hotspot and it still failed.

The only thing I can think of is that I recently deleted all of my msn contacts via outlook on my computer. I think that this has somehow messed up my profile and so the phone won't connect.

There is a help section on the live app which redirects you to a webpage. You fill in some details about your phone, operator, problem etc but the 'submit' button wouldn't work for me, so I didn't get anywhere.
[HD2 General] ephestione:
Got it yesterday as a 440€ deal with a 2009-12-21 proof of purchase from someone who couldn't stand winmo and after a week's use bought a blackberry instead. It still has the -good- smell my iPaq had right after unpacking it, the chimical smell of freshly molded plastic around electrical circuits. I couldn't help but closely pair it with my iPaq 214 (the code for italian 210's) and surely it's dam slick considering it contains, together with a way better handheld hardware, also phone, camera, flash, and gps system (thus I am going to say goodbye to the coolpix, the gps antenna in the car, and the ipaq, all in one shot... not to the old phone tho, since this hd2, alas, is not dual sim), but the 4.3" wide-screen still feels smaller than the 4" 4:3 screen I am used to. Ok, it doesn't "feel", it's math, and it actually IS smaller, 8mm narrower to be precise, and about 10mm taller; I was used to getting the two-thumb typing right very soon on fingerkeyboard with the ipaq, I had to struggle a bit with the htc keyboard because the keys were smaller, my thumbs have to bend real tight, but I have NO problem whatsoever with "excessive sensitivity" and double presses and the likes, and no sensitivity patch was installed on the device; my only mistake is hitting the letter nearby but I am getting more accurate as time passes by.

I still have to play with this toy thoroughly, 1.48 rom is currently installed, and before updating, either to newer stock roms or to custom ones, I need to get the feel of the device.

By the way, to avoid loosing all the job I'll have to do to install and configure everything, could you please remind me the name of that utility which can be set to execute "scripted backup", installing CABs and copying over ini files taken from predefined folders? Or anything else which can easily do the task easy and efficiently, without incurring in the possible shortcomings of restoring an old sprite-backup to a newer rom?
[HD2 General] sexy2:
Whats the best way to clean the hd2 screen? Is spraying a bit of window cleaner safe?
[HD2 General] laserviking:
I use my forearm, it's nice and hairy and makes it look brand new:)
[HD2 General] Rollmops:
A clean dry cloth does the job, no need to use product and I would avoid water anyways... Just rub it with a clean dry cloth and watch the screen shine like the day you unboxed it :-)
[HD2 General] terryvella:
I wouldn't spray anything on the screen; I use a "Spontex" microfibre glass cleaning cloth. It's very soft and buffs up the screen in seconds leaving no fibres behind. They cost about three quid in tescos and also do my specs!
[HD2 General] Starfury:
I use the inside of my t-shirt lol... or if its a bit greasy from the side of my face I'll breathe on the screen first to give it a tiny bit of moisture and then use the inside of my t-shirt... works very well
[HD2 General] Archer:
I rub it on my trousers, shirt, jumper, t-shirt, boxers... whatever's easiest at the time. I do have a glasses cleaner at my computer desk and tend to use that when I'm sat there. That gets great results.
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Plus 1 for the micro fibre cloths. Absolutely amazing results, albeit they feel a bit strange in your hands (the micro fibre cloths, that is). :)

WB
[HD2 General] rumpleforeskin:
Never use liquids to clean the screen as it may intrude around the edge (a strong breath is best)

The screen on the HD2 is very duarble so the inside of a Tshirt is excellent and very handy if you are dressed (always make sure there is no grit/sand)

and never to be using scrotum, because to catch hair can be very painfull and maybe also hygene problems :o
[HD2 General] Klaus1960:
Thanks for that. I will stop...
[HD2 General] ahsan.mughal:

[HD2 General] un1ucky:
Lol @ laserviking

I dont own a hd2 but i carry a micro fibre cloth that came with my plasma tv :) i hace the nexus one :(
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Another vote for micro-fibre cloths. I usually use the one I got from Specsavers to clean my glasses with. The advantage of this over clothing is not just that it's softer (and thus guaranteed not to scratch) but that it is far better at absorbing grease, which means the screen ends up completely free from finger-prints. Using your shirt tends to spread the grease around rather than removing it.
[HD2 General] johnvfc:
I use the screen cleaning cloth that came with my laptop (Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Xi 3650).

It is amazing and fast, I clean the screen in 4-5 seconds and it looks new and shiny :D

P.S. Do not use any cleaning products or water, just a dry cloth.
[HD2 General] murderdollpf:
hey guys after cleaning my screen with a watery sheet for glasses and not the for the first time - I got a strange problem:

my fingers don´t slide smooth anymore on the screen, it feels like they are braking and slowed down because of this dry screen.also doing multitouch zooming one handed is a problem now!

would be gratefull for any tips!
[HD2 General] Elemental_Fire:
The effect will wear off after you use the phone for a little while, it's probably the substance is creating a dry effect lool. And I recommend micro-fibre cleaning cloths, your shiny HD2 will catch everyone's eye in the market!

Oh wait, don't get mugged though :p Spraying some window cleaning liquid might go into the device through the gaps at the side or through the hardware buttons, causing unwanted problems. Good luck cleaning xD
