I do have that set to "never" and it still snaps back to my home screen really fast when I am on the internet. It's like when I am reading a page or I have not selected anything on the web it snaps back to my home screen.

I have to select the left arrow key constantly to see the web site.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] papasha:
Hi,

I found interesting problem with Tilt2: when BT is on and you loosing service, like me in the subway, phone service comes back after you come back in service area, but Data service stays Off. If you go to Setup; Communications, you will find Data switch in Off position. Data service comes back up when you turn switch On.

I talked to AT&T and HTC support, but they were like always... I went to the store and replaced SIM card, then phone and have same problem.

I had to return phone, because my life depends on Internet.

Does somebody have a solution to have BT and Data service working together and recover lost service?

Thank you.

Hi all..

Is there anyway to get the standard HTC mediaplayer (coverflow etc...) to play OGG files?

It works in Coreplayer but not the standard player (which is what I prefer to use).

Thanks
[HD2 General] Archer:
Sorry mate - CorePlayer or conversion. That's your options.
[HD2 General] busterdan:
Thanks... that is such a shame.. I don't have many OGG's but enough to not want to convert them all again (and probably lose quality).
[HD2 General] Archer:
I'm not sure how it compares to OGGs, but MP3 can be converted to VBR as well, so it may make no difference to quality. Get a trial version of Sony Sound Forge - it'll do a batch conversion for you.
[HD2 General] busterdan:
VBR?... erm as a format? MP3 generally uses a variable (VBR), average (ABR) or constant (CBR) bitrate encoding method for various types including MP3. OGG is a different format, the quality is comparable to MP3 really but I believe the files are smaller.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Yeah they are. Most people rip MP3s at a fixed bit-rate, which is why I said about VBR. That's the only reason I've used OGG before now.

I was just pointing it out in case you didn't know. File size is obviously a different story though!
[HD2 General] busterdan:
Ah ok... I generally use ABR 160kbps LAME for MP3....

a an aside... my first ever MP3 was in 1997... long before the iPod etc... how times have changed :)
[HD2 General] rjstep3:
ogg's for the same size file at VBR do play a little better than mp3 - if you play them one after the other, you can hear the difference, there is more "body" somehow to an ogg. The real advantage for me is that ogg will always offer gapless playback, so if 2 or more tracks run into each other, then the ogg will play as one continuous sound, mp3 will judder as it goes from track to track.

Ogg is much better really - shame it is not supported better in "standard" players - I normally use the Pocket Player on WinMo, great player with a great range of playable formats.

rjstep3
[HD2 General] busterdan:
I think I'll just convert them to MP3...

Dpes pocket player have touch screen coverflow though?.... thats one of the things I mostly miss when not using the standard HTC player (especially in the car).
[HD2 General] rjstep3:
Not sure what you mean by coverflow. Pocket Player is finger friendly for the most part - why don't you download a trial?

rjstep3
[HD2 General] busterdan:
Will do cheers for that!
[HD2 General] fxcoupeman83:
Hi all,

This is for those of us with HD2 devices from Telstra (Australia).

By default the top 3 Quicklinks on the main screen are locked with Telstra shortcuts - Bigpond, Foxtel and Sensis.

After installing this cab and performing a soft reset, you will be able to remove these shortcuts from the menu just like any other link on the homepage.

Enjoy
[HD2 General] davej:
Bless you!!

Happy Australia Day...you have made mine complete!!
[HD2 General] rijohann:
great .-) but still dont get it to sync with active sync with exchange:-(
[HD2 General] fxcoupeman83:
You need to create a new data connection with different settings for Telstra to get exchange sync working. Since we can't modify the existing connection, you need to create a new one and set it as the default.

Follow the instructions below:

http://fxtechtips.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-setting-windows-mobile-to-access.html

this is a guide to set up a new Telstra internet connection on WM6.1 but the same procedure applies for the HD2. Quickest way to get to the connections page is Comm Manager > Menu > Connections.

One change to the instructions though. Ignore the proxy setting in step 10. Leave it empty, but still tick the 'This network connects to the Internet' checkbox.

After doing this, try and do a send/recieve with the new connection.

EDIT: Just realised you seem to be in Norway so you may need to set up a new data connection with your carrier settings instead. Either way, set up this connection without a proxy server and it should work.
[HD2 General] kosspete:
Thank-you for this... You guys are great... Wish I knew more about this stuff... Thanks again. :)
[HD2 General] hastarin:
Thanks that has saved me having to dig around in the registry, or for a new ROM, at least for now. :D
[HD2 General] sarah72:
If you are still having trouble with Exchange, make sure your Active Sync is set to "Dedicated' and not "Internet". Took me hours to work out why I could check my mail using wifi and not next G!!!
[HD2 General] manuello:
syncing with myphone and setting default/deleting email accounts

i also have a problem with syncing my contacts, tasks and calendar with microsoft myphone.

i can sync other items such as photos and SMS but not the above.

telstra have locked it for some reason.

does anyone know how to unlock this?

also, i want to delete outlook as an email account. when i create new calender items and add attendees it sends them with outlook which i dont use and they sit in the outbox. i have set up another email account which i want to use.

i couldnt see how to delete outlook or set the other as the default.
[HD2 General] brado23:
Thanks for the fix!

What right has telstra got to lock this sort of stuff down!!
[HD2 General] SOLVit:
Working! ActiveSync with Exchange on Telstra!

Hi All,

I have had a few issues trying to setup a Activesync Connection with and Exchange server (NO Workstation) with a new Telstra locked HTC HD2.

Telstra have locked the device so you have to purchase another "Email Data Plan" to sync with an Exchange Server.

I added all my settings to activesync, And could not connect.

In ActiveSync, click options, select exchange and click settings,your server settings should be here mail.blah.com.au , click next, your username and password are here, click next, BUT DONT CLICK FINISH.

Click options and advanced, Select Internet and not dedicated from the connection list. A telstra warning will display, click yes.

You should now be able to SYNC via the Internet with full Direct push email.:)
[HD2 General] laserviking:
Thank you so much for the telstra quick links fix, telstra are noobs.

Hey guys,

Got another cab file for you which will remove the Bigpond animated logo from Opera startup and replace it with the 'HTC: quietly brilliant' default.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this east fix for the TELSTRA BULL****!

I can not believe that TESTRA feel that they have the rigt to or think we need to be so stupid of so dictated to !!! :(

I am so please to gain ownership of the three most important icons on my phone.

YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY !!
[HD2 General] rravenshak:
thankyou thankyou thankyou

You guys ROCK ! very appreciative of these fixes. :D
[HD2 General] Grahameh:
I have installed it on the card but can't see how I use it to get rid of anything.

(Must say that after years of Windows 2003SE this thing is driving me mad. I mainly want to use it for programs (like my old PDA)but the HTC instructions are useless.)
[HD2 General] Rives2153:
It removes the lock that was placed on these 3 links.

On the home screen, Select 'Menu' -> 'Remove Quick Links'

Select the ones you want to remove and select 'Done'
[HD2 General] ROTR:
Sorry for the dumb newbie question, but the cab file to remove the quicklinks is actually a winzip file that contains an XML file and .001 file.

Have I missed something here? I am familiar with how to move a cab file onto my phone and install, but when i copy this file over the phone still thinks it is a zip file...

Thanks,

Roy.

<< Ignore me, have now loaded and removed those links, thanks for the cab file, much appreciated, now I have some quick links that are actually useful :) >>
[HD2 General] vpopov:
Thanks a lot !!!

Many thanks to people who help me to remove Telstra rubbish.:):)

Is it possible to to remove all Telstra apps from programs?
[HD2 General] stevereaver:
None of these solutions for active sync are working for me, the setting still keeps going back to 'DEDICATED'... looks like it's ROM time....:)

Don't muck around

Guys, don't muck around just flash a new generic or cooked ROM, best way to get rid of all the Telstra rubbish. I didn't need 50 links to foxtel that I will never use. Do you really use the Tel$tra search engine to search the net or do you use google like everyone else.

I went straight over to the rom section and made a clean start, it's a lot easier than tinkering with unlocking shortcuts and trying to whittle away at the logos etc.

Just my 2 cents worth :D
[HD2 General] fxcoupeman83:
Fair enough if your'e into flashing ROMs. Some people just don't wanna take the risk (even though it is quite easy).

Just for kicks, I did a HardSPL and flashed different ROMs onto it. Liked some of the 3rd party cooked ROMS (favourtie: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=631049) but im back on stock.

I liked the new features (updated manila with ebook and documents tabs) but little bugs I noticed sometimes. Speed difference was negligabile from my experience. As I said, experiences may differ for others.

When I have more time I will try and get this ROM to look as stock as possible (main thing is to remove the bigpond logo from the Internet tab but also replace the startup and shutdown animation - that couldn't be too hard).
[HD2 General] lquigley:

[HD2 General] lamensterms:
thanks for the cabbage. great little tweak that makes a BIG difference to how i uses this phone. another question though... how can i edit the shortcuts on the programs tab?

slide over to the 'programs' tab (orange circle with white arrow), and all i see is useless links to yellow, white pages, trading post, bigpond games, etc. i have to go into the 'all programs' menu to get to the decent list.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

ps: im new to this HTC/manilla/sense game, had an omnia for a year and a bit... so im not completely clueless about winmo.

cheers.
[HD2 General] mouski:
thanks for this, for those saying just flash instead.....

i flashed to various ROM's but found that a lot of BigPond web based pages/applications e.g foxtel, apps, whereis, wont work due to being an "incompatible handset" even though its listed in the compatible handset list. from my understanding it has to do with the version, as most roms are based on the US, not AUS.

however if BigPond services dont worry you, go for the flash, its so much simpler.
[HD2 General] bjk956:
I love to,Specially to HTC's original,if i can find a step-by-step info like they've got on symbian.For eample,what to do 1st,then....,then.....so on.Cause there is this HSPL then SSL or similar then MANILA then RADIO etc. etc.It is confusing for some1 whos new to all this :confused:.

My main concern is not to brick this beauty.
[HD2 General] bjk956:
Thanks for all the help !!!! Found the info that i was after,actually it takes about 16minutes(mostly waiting for the progy to execute).

Didnt need to read pages of pages posts.Total waste of time,who cares about the manillas and radios etc.etc.Every1 just wants to flash not become a brain surgeon or HTC technician.Some people asking,if they can use "floppy" for the flash,cause they dont have an SD card.Try to explain HSPSL to them :-)))).

I think some people need to feel important,,,,,Very important.
[HD2 General] CasualStarlord:
slight problem

Just a slight problem.

I installed this cab, it unlocked my quicklinks, I deleted the telstra ones and added my own, then I was cleaning up my phone the next day and uninstalled this cab... it has now locked my links in there which are currently camera, windows media player and opera... not as bad as they were but I would like to change them.

I tried to install the cab again, but it says installation failed... any ideas?
[HD2 General] CasualStarlord:
sorry for the double post, but I can still edit them if I use a registry editor, but via the gui they are locked
[HD2 General] fugisan:
Hey i had some issues with Exchange too. Im on Telstra Stock and with Telstra in AU.

I tried chaging Active Sync to Internet from Dedicated but it keeps swaping back to Dedicated, i followed your steps above but still had issues.

In the end i looked in the connections tab under advanced and changed 'select networks' and set both the public and private connections to Telstra Internet (Default) and now my exchange works perfect.

All your other cabs are awesome too thanks for keeping up the support for Telstra ROMs! :) Ive had quite a few of cooked/stock roms and several issues with them so gone back to telstra stock for now - just hope they release a new rom soon!

Sorry OT abit!

-Josh
[HD2 General] sarahchambo:
have installed the cab file - THANKS! stupid telstra

a gmail log-in page keeps popping up randomly which is really annoying. i mainly want to use the active sync to do calender, tasks and contacts, not for email. Does anyone know how i can get rid of this.

it might be popping up everytime it syncs. hmmm, not sure.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HD2 General] anish:
thanks dude thats work for me !! cheers !

[HD2 General] hiluxdrew:
Hi im pretty new to all this, just got my hd2 today. I downloaded the .cab to remove the qucklinks to my pc but how do i get it onto my phone and working ?????

cheers
[HD2 General] lamensterms:
use your data cable to move the .CAB from your PC to your HD2, then execute the .CAB file.

a .CAB file is an install file for PPCs.

Cheers.
[HD2 General] hiluxdrew:
i have it connected but how do i move it and execute it ????
[HD2 General] lamensterms:
plug your data cable into your PC and HD2, then when promted on the screen of your HD2 - select to use your HD2 as a storage device.

now on your PC, navigate to where you saved the downloaded .CAB file, right click this .CAB file and select 'copy'. now navigate to 'my computer' and access the external storage device that is your HD2 (could be any drive letter). find a folder that your wish to save the .CAB file in (i use storage card/my documents/application install files), access this folder, right click in the blank space within this folder and select 'paste'.

still on your PC, down the bottom right of the screen (the right end of the task bar), in the notification area there will be a little icon that represents your extrenal storage device (HD2), hover over each of the icons with your mouse cursor until you get a little message that pops up decribing your external storage device (HD2)... click this icon and select "safely remove external storage device", you will get a popup message on your PC screen that says you can now disconnect your device (HD2).

unplug your data cable and power off your HD2, then power it back on (i have found that my HD2 hangs/freezes after connection to a PC, soft resetting helps this).

now, back on your HD2... run the file explorer (from the programs list or the start menu), navigate to the folder/location where you copied the .CAB file to... and hit it. this should start the installation process for this .CAB file. you have an option to install this utility to your internal device storage or your storage card, i think it is safe to install this .CAB to your storage card, this will help you conserve internal storage memory.

good luck.

WiFi connection fine, but no GMAIL

Hi everyone, looks like some great posts and useful info in here (have done the quicklinks succesfully and also installed another couple of programs/apps since getting the phone on the weekend).

Question - somewhat related to a post on here, I don't quite understand how I can succesfully be connected to my home WiFi, but not be able to send/receive GMAIL. Browsing on Opera works fine, youtube, the windows mobile facebook app... all fine, just not GMAIL!! I had it working on my N95 for years so know what Gmail settings to use..

During the send/receive operation, it comes up with a Connection Error - like it is purposefully trying to go through the Telstra network.. is this related to the post I have semi-referenced below?

Any suggestions would be great - have logged call with HTC, I am baffled by this one as my old Nokia N95 could do (and still does) it easy.

Thanks

Jason

I had tried this but have tried it again but all i get when i tap the setup or regist icons is a blank white screen.......... when i put it on as the whole file and hit it i get an adobe warrenty file....???? i need to get rid of these quick links and sort out a better way of organising the muisic on it and how to make my own ring tones before i throw it at the wall !!!!!! I have had the phone for 3mths it only spends a few hrs out of the box then the sim comes out a nd i go back to my old fone for a few weeks....
[HD2 General] lamensterms:
it seems we have a failure to communicate mate. you must learn to explain your problems with clear detail or you will get no help from anyone on these forums.

i suggest you ask one of your friends who might know how to operate a windows mobile phone, and get them to show and explain how the .CAB system works.

i would struggle to explain it any clearer than i already have... it really is a very simple process.

just drag it in your phone as it was and it should work fine.
