[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] lv2bll:
it doesnt work with the hero or it doesn't work with 1.5, just curious
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
Did you try the v1.70-pre2 version of wifi tether? It's supposed to resolve the heat issue that 1.60 had.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] abcdfv:
Doesn't work on hero. Period.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ldleblanc:
EasyTether Beta works with the hero for USB tethering. I'm using it right now.

Caveat: Windows 32 bit only
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ktynchy1:
Ive been using wireless tether for a few months and its working as it should, sometimes phone overheats but apart from that its been running ok, i even got it to work through the usb instead of wireless, it never disconected for me

edit: ive been running version 1.61-pre1, cause it said something about newer versions having trouble with cdma hero, hope this helps
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ldleblanc:
Also, I get lower speeds on speedtest.net when using easytether vs wireless tether.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] funcrusher:
forget it. ;/
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] HeroMeng:
PDANet doesn't work on Mac or Linux, Wifi Tether heats up the phone, Wired Tether doesn't work, and I've never tried easytether. Looks like if you don't have windows, your only options are wifi tether or easytether.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] HeroMeng:
It still heats up the phone, but definitley not as much as 1.60
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] abcdfv:
Mobile network sharing is enabled in 2.1
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Avalaunchmods:
i had this problem and what i did is went to radioshack and bought a real thin metal pad. i think its called paste less thermal pad but it works like thermal paste. they use on xbox 360's memory chips and take the back off ur phone and cut it to fit directly over the battery then set a copper bottomed heat sink over that. both are at radioshack and run maybe 15-20 bucks. i use the 360 cpu heatsink cuz its copper bottom and usually set a coke can on top to apply pressure. but anyways thats my .02$ hope it helps
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gu1dry:
My friend has no issues using PDANet with their Mac, I can't get it to work with my Win7 box...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
This sounds stupid, but I have it working on mine - I had to turn UAC back on for it to work.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] myke66:
All great responses, im using the 1.7 and the heat isnt like, burn hot, but hotter then normal. The net has still been shaky, so ive been using it sparingly whenever i needed to. I've never had it shut off due to heat, just the battery dying, lol. I'd love to use that EasyTether App but im running on a 64bit system. I was thinking about doing a 2.1 rom and just nandroiding to use it, but i havent even looked at setting it up, (is it really as easy as enabling mobile internet sharing?) if thats the case i might try that. I figured a wired connection would be better overall anyway.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] abcdfv:
In 2.1, all you do is enable mobile network sharing. Usb, tap, done.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] IVIatticus:
I've been using the WiFi Tether 1.61-pre1 for a few weeks. 8 hours a day. I have a spare battery. The vibrator went out on my last phone, wonder if its connected? :-)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] boredmug:
Possibly, or you use the Dildroid app a lot too. :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] HeroMeng:
Burnt.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bcnice20:
ok this may sound stupid but i have my phone constantly sitting in front of a fan when im tethering and it doesnt heat up at all really good for the not so tech savvy
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mattcoz:
I got you beat, I had a dream I removed the dust under my screen by sucking it out through the USB port. :o
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] theresthatguy:
y'all need some help.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ktynchy1:
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
Yeah, but my dream came true! Toast got MultiTouch working!!!! Now once he gets it posted I have a daily rom!:D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wtphoto:
+1 on this i would visual VM but its really not that big of a deal 2.1 here I come (as soon I can) plus majrep almost has live wallpapers going on it so that will be sweet too.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ajones7279:
PDANet works fine on my Macbook. Never had a problem with disconnecting either. Lately I've just been using the tetherbot method. And usb or not, the phone can still get hot. Mine does over extended periods.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Scooley01:
I didn't want to buy PDAnet (To get rid of the block on HTTPS), so I came up with a workaround.

The only reason I have been using USB tether instead of wifi, is that if my phone is unplugged, wifi tether eats the battery quickly, and if I plug my phone in while wifi tether is on, it overheats. My solution? Putting my phone in front of a little desk fan. It keeps it nice and cool while I wifi tether...not a perfect solution by any means, but it works.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
I go get a beer out of the fridge and set my phone on top of it. :-) It's cold and it's an Aluminum heatsink.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] murdocthc:
yeah, but just wrap your phone in a ziplock bag and put ice packs all around it; kind of like i used to do with my playstation back in the day :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] expxxx:
I had net connectivity problems for a little over a week and was using my Hero to tether via USB and had pretty much the same issue. The phone would get unbearably hot and the light flashed orange and green every second or so. That basically fried my battery...normally, I had a solid 10-12 hr charge if I didn't use it too much, but had to replace my battery as the time got down to 2-3 hrs on a full charge with little use. One way I found that seemed to help the issue was taking the back off and laying my phone face down with a small USB fan blowing at it. Not very practical, I know, but the phone never got too hot, at least.

Pda net has worked flawlessly for a few week now on regaw 2.1 themed. I play cod using my mobile network as access and it barely lags!

hi,

i have one problem with unlocking my htc touch2 mobile.

i cannot able to unlock when the owner's identification information option is enabled. the same i can able to do with password enabled.

kindly guide me to resolve this issue.

thanks in advance....
[Touch2 General] $King:
Install the hotfix for owner info from htc.com/ (MEG02789.exe).

I had the same problem but the update fixed it. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] SUCCESSOR:
I feel like a sap. I signed a 2 year contract and bought a Fender MyTouch. I have been wanting to replace my blackberry Pearl flip with a decent phone and I thought I could settle for the mytouch with boosted ram but I just feel like I spent money on an out of date device.

don't get me wrong. I like it. and I love android like I knew i would. and this device is leaps and bounds better than what I thought of touch screen devices before android phones came out. but is it worth keeping?

I was bothered by the fact that I learned I could have gotten a Nexus One for the same price. and that tmobile wouldn't refund my phone. so I looked up how this phone resold. surprisingly well! so I put it on Craig's list for 350 and to my second surprise I found a buyer.

now being the packrat I am. I am having second thoughts. I hate to let it go being stuck with tmobile contact prices. and I hate the idea of going back to my Pearl Flip.

the device I really want and have wanted since before it released in the US is the TP2. it has been out of my price range but with 350 I'm trying to score one on ebay in that budget. not so easy.

should I sell the phone, switch back to the crapberry, hope to score a cheap Rhodium, and have little money to pay bills?

or should I stick to my investment, be strapped for cash till for a bit, and learn to love the phone i have?

do you think rooting the phone flashing some roms, the new android upgrade supposedly coming for it, or time will make me love it?

or should I have listened to every review that says even with the memory boost and gimmick it's still a mediocre device and should now take the offer and try for something better?

I spent about 200 on it and getting 350 still puts me out about 90-110$ due to high contract prices but gives me a chance to get a TP2.

this is an lame first post but let me know your thoughts.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ohgood:
sell it and get a nexus one. then, in 5 months, kick yourself and buy the NEXT badass htc phone.

look how much faster they are already.

awesome. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ohgood:
postscript

i'm buying a mytouch tonight, for much less than the list. we'll see if i like it. if not, it's resale on craigslist - quick, and buying a nexus.

i think i'll like it though. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BoomBoomPOW:
My $0.02

Sell it. So many great phones that will come out this year.

HTC HD2 is coming out in March 24th on T-Mobile, but the Windows Mobile OS might not be your forte.

Also, there's the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

The rumored Nexus Two (aka Motorola Shadow) might have hardware keyboard.

Rumors of HTC Scorpion 1.5Ghz processor at the end of the year.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] SUCCESSOR:
Sold it. Cant afford a Nexus One still but i am getting a used Rhodium.

Want an Leo but it will be awhile before i can afford it. That motorola shadow looks gey. The scorpion looks awesome and sexy but i think the Leo is sexier.

Seriously if HTC put a slideout rhodium keyboard and a few of other bells and whistles on a Leo and called it a Touch pro 3 i'd sell my kidney for it right now.
[HD2 General] JustinJJ:
Hi Guys,

Just got my HTC HD2 last night on O2 Ireland (Silent release yesterday),

Love the phone but one thing that is really annoying me is the onscreen keyboard, the qwerty and compact qwerty are useless to me, even in landscape mode, but I can use the numeric keypad one although I often have the odd mistake here unless I type really slow and think about it.

Basically what normally happens is as I have quite big fingers, sometimes I tough most of the key I want and a small amount of the key underneath, which is really irritating me as it's taking me 10x longer to send a message than it does on my N95 8GB.

I love the phone but the slow text entry really is making me stick with the N95 8GB right now. I was wondering if anyone had any advice? I wish I could have some nice bigger keypad like when you put the pin in when you turn the phone on and that would be much easier for me!

Is there any way I can use or install any other text input options, or what about bluetooth keypads (Keyboards not really acceptable as they're too big but a keypad could work)

Cheers for any advice
[HD2 General] adchesney:
Dear JustinJJ,

I had the same problem, until I relaised I had a hardware screen problem. There are a number of tests you can do to find out if you have a hardware problem.

Just have a look on the forum.

Regards and best wishes with your typing.

Oh, just to let you know, I am on my third HD2 in less than a month, and this is the first time I can type the A-Z without making a mistake. So it was hardware not my fingers.

[HD2 General] myth1001:
Try another keyboard, like Swype?

It needs lots of practice, especially when you were using phone with keypad in the past.
[HD2 General] JustinJJ:
I was going to try Swype over the weekend and see how that goes, it looks quite good but I have doubts because of the much smaller key size which makes me worry a little bit.

I've already tried to recalibrate the screen which helped a little bit, but it's still nowhere near as nice as typing with an actual phone keypad.

It really annoys me as I love the phone so much for everything else apart from text entry!
[HD2 General] Isadora:
Practice makes perfect :p seriously though, it just takes a bit of time to get used to it. Back in December someone made a handy little programme - I think it's called touch mark - which plots where you touch the screen and compares it to where you should be touching the screen, quite handy to "retrain" your finger/eye coordination... will go see if I can find the link to it.

Edit: found it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=594158&highlight=touchmark
[HD2 General] theclueless:
going from resistive to capacitive screen is a big jump; you WILL make a lot of mistakes on the "fat finger" phenomenon, but eventually you will get better (right now i can type faster and with better accuracy on the iphone screen than my X1a keyboard :p)
[HD2 General] degake:
Indeed,

Touch mark can be quite helpfull to retrain your touching skills :P

Grtz,

Degake
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
I use swype and it's mostly great (using it now, in fact) quite surprising how inaccurate you can be with it and it still gets it right.

regarding the capacitive screen in general, the angle of your finger can make all the difference, the pad being recognized much more accurately than the tip/edge, and even the temperature.... cold dry skin = jumpy detection.

I also found that no matter how much I align the screen, for best results my aim must always be slightly up and left if where I'm aiming....not much, just a bit.
[HD2 General] mrmomoman:
I used Cootek touchpal on my HTC HD. I use the predicitive text feature with the 3 letters in each box. It does a hell of a job predicting my words. I find that it types faster than when I was on my blackberry. As in all things new you have to train yourself on it and eventually it becomes natural.

The only typing I never wanted to master was the number pad t9 crap. I got so fed up with it I didn't use it :) went to blackberry...
[HD2 General] meegulthwarp:
I went from a SE W910i with a physical numpad to the HD2 and the first week typing on the HD2 was torture, I dreaded typing a simple "On my way" SMS and kept everything as short as possible. After a week or two I started understanding how it works and started retraining myself in regards to hitting the right key. A few things I noticed are that you don't press the key like you would on a physical keyboard so you need a much "lighter" touch and try to just tap the screen with the tip of your finger. Patience is one of your biggest friends when learning to type and I've sat down with my HD2 for dedicated sessions on typing and have learnt a lot. I also avoid using my thumbs as they are too wide and flat and tend to not hit the keys I want, I usually hold the phone in one hand and "type" with the index finger of the other hand. Now I can type as fast as I would on a normal numpad keyboard but not as fast as I could with my G1.

I've owned a N95 and found the keys were too small and I usually hit more than one at a time which was most annoying. So I don't think your fingers are too big.

I've never tried any other keyboard program but Swype looks like it could be loads of fun as well as more accurate. So give it a week or two to get used to typing and if you still have problems then you may have a faulty screen.
[HD2 General] fruchtfliege:
i also use touchpal as it has a great auto correction. first i used the three letters in one box, but now i'm learning full qwertz to be more flexible.

never tried swype but this and touchpal seems to be the most famous osk's around.

a good way for me to reduce the sensitivity and also reduce errors is to apply a screen protector. i got one from - i think e-cell, which was recommended by a lot of users here at devs.
[HD2 General] JustinJJ:
Tried swype, that was awful, partly because my fingers were too big and partly because I had to think about the letters and stop when moving my finger which messed the word generation up.

Tried Touchpal and found that a little better than the built in keyboard in keypad mode but the fact they moved the space to the right of the 9 key really messed it up for me, if they had it underneath it would be perfect but it really messes me up right now and the key after hitting it I always end up hitting wrong.

Then I tried Cliquick! I was in love straight away with it's huge keys this is the only editor I can type accurately with, and not make any mistakes by accidentally pressing the wrong keys. The only problem was this has no predictive text or no standard hardware style keypad mode so it is a little slow having to use multi-tap and an unfamiliar layout, but least it's accurate and less frustrating even if it is slow.

Does anyone know if they plan to release a predictive text add in or perhaps a standard keypad layour, or is there any plug-ins I can use to achieve the same effect.
[HD2 General] technillion:
So it isn't just ME...

That's funny. I thought it was just ME. I realigned the screen and picked spots slightly BELOW the X.

Works great now when I actually click ON the icons... :D
[HD2 General] tsamuels:
Hi All,

I dont know if I'm in the right place, but basically I am totally freaked out and would greatly appreciate some help.

I should start by saying I am a complete novice with these things, but I think I've bricked my brand new phone.

I flashed HSPL, then flashed Miri's ROM, as it seemed most popular.

All went fine (following noob instructions). The phone even reboted after flashing the ROM all fine. Then I turned it off to put my SIM and SD card back in.

Now when trying to turn it back on, I just get the white screen with HTC in the middle, and nothing else from there. I have tried restarting a number of times and reseting from the back, but the same screen keeps coming up.

Can anyone help at all or am I completely screwed?? I am totally stressed out about havig thrown all this coin down the drain. I following the noob instructions perfectly!!

Many thanks

Tom
[HD2 General] tsamuels:
ok Ive rectified it.

I got back ino the red/green screen by pressing volume down and on. Then my computer recognised the device and I flashed a stock ROM. It seemed to fix everything. Sorry about the premature post, but I was entirely spun out.

This has kind of scared my off using cooked ROMs. Is this something that can happen, or has happened to others?
[HD2 General] kweiss10:
this happens sometimes cause of a glitch somewhere.

just do it again and it should work.

had the same problem but after i repeated it, it worked.

ur phone wont brick that easily. and since u followed the instructions, u usually wont brick it.

so try again atell us if urs did work. :)
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
Discovered today that coreplayer doesn't support ac3 which means me having to convert rips that have been encoded with it.

Does anyone know of a player that supports ac3 audio to save me the hassle?
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
TCPMP is supposed to, although I've never tried to get it working.
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
not heard of that, any chance of a link? thanks
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
The version of TCPMP I normally use is this one: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3275845&postcount=172

But I've no idea if that's one of the versions that supports AC3. :)
[HD2 General] kyoj:
I had the exact same problem yesterday. I am using the version of TCPMP posted above in conjunction with the AC3 plugin from here

picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/

and it is working perfectly.
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
Thanks guys, will check it!!!

picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/ ..... is that supposed to be a link? i've not used this programme before, how do you install the plugin?
[HD2 General] kyoj:
Just install the plugin as you would any other cab

that is a link - I have posted too infrequently to be allowes to post a link - put the http etc in front of it
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
Thanks, will check it all out tonight :)
[HD2 General] Shadowdh:
Thanks for the "link"... :) its got a shed load of stuff on it...

http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/

I have a vague memory of some plugins for coreplayer too, but cant remember what they were for... could be a false memory or wishful thinking however...
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
I installed tcpmp and the ac3 plug in. I have ac3 sound WOOOHOOO but...

no picture :confused: also the full screen button and the play/pause button are blacked out, you have to press it to see it :confused: not bothered about that, i just want the picture!!!! help!!! :D
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
EDIT:

sorted it, had to change the setting in video to GDI, raw framebuffer works also, directdraw crashed the phone, what do you guys use?

happy now, i can use coreplayer for my music and this for my vids with no conversion and also keep both aps open for when i want to easily switch between music and video. :D :cool: :)
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
My preferred settings for TCPMP are dither on, smooth zoom always, DirectDraw (not GDI), DirectDraw overlay format set to YUY2, "use device stretching when blitting" checked, and uncheck "overlay with colorkey" and "use blitting instead of overlays". I imagine the same settings will work in CorePlayer, although you'll need to switch back to GDI for subtitles.
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
wow!! direct draw crashed my phone. Do your settings produce a better picture then, this is all a bit involved for me!
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
Watching some video this morning, plays ok but is a bit jerky, do you know what setting fixes that?
[HD2 General] ephestione:
with the GF5500 version, you don't need to install any AC3 plugin, oif you go check the TCPMP folder in program files you'll see there's already an ac3 file in there... that cab is the complete package with the whole plugins available for tcpmp
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Smooth zoom always (rather than to 50%) and activating dither improve the picture quality. The other settings improve performance. Using DirectDraw with the wrong DirectDraw settings will indeed crash your phone. This is why I have given you the right DirectDraw settings. :)
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
cheers, yeah i thought that, so i selected directdraw in hope i could find the settings for it but it crashed again. i cant find the other settings you state:

DirectDraw overlay format set to YUY2, "use device stretching when blitting" checked, and uncheck "overlay with colorkey" and "use blitting instead of overlays
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
You can't have looked very hard! :)

Hit Options/Settings... then hit the Select Page soft button and choose DirectDraw. "Settings..." is at the bottom of the Options menu - you'll need to scroll down a little.
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
Didn't realise that menu could scroll doh!! it's a bit confusing (to me anyway) plus i've been fidling around with coreplayer and get all muddled up with the menus :D

anyhow, i set it to what you said, looks great. How the hell do you know all those settings?

lastly, under options, zoom, i select fill screen, you?

BIG thanks for your help on this mate, much appreciated and all that :D
