I've done a stupid thing and I don't know of a way to sort it.

Basically I think I formatted the memory card that came with the phone before putting in the replacement card I already had. Trouble is I believe the CoPilot maps and so forth were on it. Now I can't use the 15 day trial, just comes up with "error downloading" when trying to get it working. The program launches, it just (of course) won't open the maps.

I can't find a way of downloading them from the CoPilot website without paying for a licence (pointless as I want to try before I buy) and Virgin (my provider) can't help. My only hope is HTC themselves who I shall ring tomorrow.

So my question is. Has anyone else done this and sorted it? Alternatively, is there a way of downloading the map/s (legally) without having to buy the licence?

I'm doubting anyone is as stupid as me, but you never know :D
[HD2 General] TomH01:
You can download the U.K and Ireland maps from here and copy the folder to your memory card.

Copilot Licence issues

I have two HTC HD2 phones that came with Co-Pilot 8 on them. I purchased a licence for the Aus/NZ maps for my first one amd I was able to activate my original device and Co-Pilot works fine.

Purchased a second phone recently and thought I'd try the old key but it failed to validate. So I purchased a new set of maps for the 2nd HD2 but the phone now has the old key in it and won't let me activate via the new key - it comes up with Error 806.

At the moment I can't get the 2nd phone running as it just keeps rejecting all entries.

Does anyone know a registry edit to remove the activation? I think I've found something but thought I would seek more knowledgeable people!!! Don't want to have to re-rom the phone to get it going again.

Hi, guys, i don't actually like the Sense (Leo) for several reasons but after all it is a high-end development so i believe it's better than the old manila. It seems we are obliged to have those shortcuts on the home tab which hide the background wallpaper and etc but the thing i hate most is that i dont have the history link/shortcut on it anymore, which for me is really useful. Is there a way to add as one of the quicklinks a history shortcut - I have the "contacts" already in use but I really need the call history menu :( Im using the final Rota's creation 3.5 and ill be really thankful if someone of you guy can help :o
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] celticmoon:
So I create a shortcut link.

Create a shortcut key to \Windows\LaunchMSItem.exe w/ "CALLHISTORY_ALL_CALLS" parameters.

I think that you have to set up your Proxy and your port.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Benny Sebrelly:
Hey, quick question:

Do the APN settings have anything to do with being able to send/receive MMS? And if so, how do I change them?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] skipbarker:
Thanks. It appears I may have more trouble than just data. I just realized that *228 is not working for activation either and I'm having issues with calls and data in windows mobile as well. All was working well yesterday.

It looks like I have a trip to the verizon store in my near future :(. Can anyone direct me to the best way to get my phone back to stock(if it's even possible) so I can get it warrantied?

Thanks guys. :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
If you get the "phone cannot be authenticated" message when you try to make calls just call verizon customer service. Tell them your phone froze and you did a hard reset and they should be able to get your phone working. No need to mention anything else about flashing a custom rom or android.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] skipbarker:
Thanks for the reply Reddog. I just did some manual programming and got calls working. Still no data but I'm guessing a call to cs as you suggested would help with that.

Unfortunately I think I have a problem with the usb port shorting out which is my big reason for needing warranty.

i can send and reserve text messages and reserve incoming calls but no out going calls and no data also i get voice mail notification been on the phone with Verizon Tech Support and they failed a trouble ticket for me it all started Friday and its been like this ever sense
[Touch CDMA Android Development] rothgar:
I am having the same problem right now in WM. I am going to flash android and see if it works for me. I spent about 45 min on the phone with tech support with no answers besides try hard resetting the device.
[HD2 General] TicKByT:
Hi

Searched the forum with no luck.

Could anyone please tell me the advantages & disadvantages of WM6.5.5 and is there a ROM out there that is very close to stock with this version of windows mobile.

Thanks
[HD2 General] tictac0566:
You must feel the difference yourself.

While many people don´t like the combination of Sense and WinMo buttons at the bottom of the screen, some seem to prefer it.

It lies within the nature of the change that it is impossible to have a 6.5.x ROM which would be close to any existing stock ROM.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
other than the menu bar at the bottom there isn't a huge amount off difference.

I certainly wouldn't use it as a basis to decide for o against which rom I use.
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
I don't know. The ugliness factor is a big part of it for me. The esthetic of Sense UI is ruined by those "additions" in later builds of WM, in my view. I hope that WM 6.6 will allow us to remove them. If not, I'll stay with the current build and be fine with it.

The new buttons, etc. thin the lipstick on the pig considerably, and it is enough to make me decide not to use it. To each his own, I guess.
[HD2 General] TicKByT:
Yea it also looks pretty ugly to me thats why I asked if theres any advantages that would be worth the compromise.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
you can skin those buttons to be smaller do they don't interfere anymore, can make all the difference.
[HD2 General] bronx:
thinking the same thing Mate... what more, the more I read about wm7, the less I'm excited about it. I'll stick to official 1.66 unless htc will decide to give us a new build, but imho winmo 6.5 does the job pretty damn well, so if it's anything above it like 6.5.3, I'll more likely skip it.
[HD2 General] Istarth:
+1

I hate the new style ... Will keep my 6.5 ...
[HD2 General] Mattsta:
I quite like the buttons at the bottom.

When I started using my fingers to control it more than a stylus I felt having to go to the top of the screen to close/ok stuff didn't make sense. I was used to this style from previous winmo phones though.

When I used a 6.5.5 rom it made one handed use MUCH easier. I don't mind the look tbh and fits well with the navigation with sense. I have MaxManilla or something which is quite a busy front screen so I can see minimalists not liking it.
[HD2 General] tonband:
But how about stability, speed, power consumption?

That's the facts that I'm intrested in! if the button's a bit bigger or smaller... I want my internet connection to be established asap when I need it, but habe a long battery life. and that my phone works without any softreset every half a day!

Did anyone check those facts? give us a hint?
[HD2 General] Bakedbread:
i personally hate that bar at the bottom on WM 6.5.x (with the start button, action and menu)

Im currently using WM 6.5 adn like the simple THIN bar with "phone and menu"

This is the only reason i havent flashed any custom roms...Unless i AM able to change them back to the old looking bottom bar?

Does anyone know if its possible?
[HD2 General] TicKByT:
Look for dutty's HG ROMS on htcpedia.com He has a 6.5 and a 6.5.5 of his rom and they are very close to stock.
[HD2 General] Eoinoc:
After switching to 6.5.x I wouldn't go back. :)

At the moment I'm using Miri's Standard version from over on htcpedia.com.
[HD2 General] tonband:
If you're really looking for some eye candy, check out energy roms! both 23xxx and 21xxx com.

But I haven't had the time yet to compare both in speed and stability. Does anybody have some experience in BOTH of the COMs?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=591784
[HD2 General] jornbjorn:
speed feels the same. But the most irritatiting thing is the thin top bar! it looks like ****!

Also the animations on 6.5.x is also inferior.
[HD2 General] -Vulture-:
Im using 6.5.5 from DsE Black Edition ROM v7 for about 2 weeks now. Its a stable ROM and really fast.

I never had any problem with the 3g connection, neither under 6.5 nor now on 6.5.5. It always connects when i want it to.

Take a look at the screenshot of my homescreen. It has the starmenu button and the close/ok button disabled (HD2 has hardware keys for it). Looks pretty sleek, doesnt it?

I really like the newer builds...everything looks better. Just check out the windows mobile system settings. Nice checkboxes and scrollbars, better looking message boxes and so on.
[HD2 General] Bixx:
I'm also using cleanex DsE Black Edition. This has the 6.5.x buttons mapped to the hardware ones below so you don't use up the screen with duplicates.

Also this rom is super fast and stable;)
[HD2 General] matthewharmon102:
how did you disable the start menu/ok buttons? im in the process of downloading cleanex core 655 but the biggest issue for me is the start menu at the bottom, as it gets in the way of sense UI
[HD2 General] ephestione:
6.5.5 has been a quality jump for me, the standard applications/dialogue are heaps easier to use, buttons are finger friendly (while 6.5 buttons are strictly stilus-friendly).

The only downside, which I'm not sure is because of 6.5.5 (what's sure is that after several 6.5 roms, this problem appears only with the first 6.5.5 rom I flashed) is that WM seems to be very happily closing applications in background even if there's heaps of free ram, just like the virtual memory becomes scarce very soon. And I not only mean ACR, but also mortplayer playing music in background while I have tomtom showing the way and navicomputer recording the track data. With just those three applications running I have at least 210MB pohysical ram free, and yet I get autoclosing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] adriciu:
Hi everybody

I have an HTC Fuze (ATT). The ROM I used was NATF v5. series. I tried a couple of days ago to sync it with my computer but it gave me an "USB device not recognized" message. I did a hard reset but it didn't change anything. I changed the "Energy" rom, but I had the same problem. I tried now to sync the phone with another laptop but I have the same message, so something happened with the phone. What I noticed was the fact that actually when I hard reseted, I still had the NATF 5.series screen shot, even if the rom was the energy one. I appreciate each answer as I don't know what I can do more.

Adriciu
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] erwinpiero:
Had you try other cables Sir?

NATF splash screen will remain there, because when you flash Energy ROM, it didn't contain splash screen, so it wouldn't be replaced.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] adriciu:
I tried a different cable, as well as a different computer. On the new computer there was no previous activesync installed. This led me to belive that there is a problem in the registry somewhere, but I don't know what to change. I also installed the Activesync 4.5 several times. on the ald and new computer, but nothing helps. No firewall active.

Adriciu
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] SNapperMx:
<- same problem
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] adriciu:
Anybody has any ideas?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] erwinpiero:
What about using other phones, if it's okay then the problem was on Your phone, vice versa.

In my opinion, to get phone connected, we must have Activesync (for Win XP) or WMDC (for Vista) installed, good cable (original preferred) and good phone condition (H/W or S/W)

Hope You solve it soon Sir.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] adriciu:
I have reinstalled the ATT rom, but is still gives me a "USB device not recognized" message. So I think something is wrong with my phone. Is there any way where I can clean up the whole registry and start from a clean fresh phone?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] adriciu:
Still not working.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Teej53214:
I had a simmilar problem a long time back.... How I fixed it was I deleted that connection setting for that phone in activesync... Then rebooted...Try to connect it then... If it still doesn;t work, UNINSTALL activesync... reboot... reboot again for good measure.. then reinstall it... reboot... Then try to connect again.... a lot of steps, but it worked for me when I put a diffrent on an old phone I had...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] adriciu:
OK, some updates. I tried syncing with another laptop and it is not working. I tried doing the same thing with an Apple comp and it doesn't even see it as an usb device. However I tried syncing wifi with my gmail account and it is giving me the following error message: "The configuration on your Exchange server prevents you from synchronizing. Support code: 0x85010004". So I think there is a setting I don't know how to change.

I'm trying to learn how to modify certain android components but I'm having trouble compiling from source.

I downloaded Launcher2 from cyanogen git://github.com/cyanogen/android_frameworks_base.git but Eclipse says it can't resolved some classes.

Some of these classes belong to other repositories like android_framework_base core and graphics. Do I need to bring the sources for these too? will these get compiled into -the Launcher making it huge? What is the correct configuration for eclipse to compile individual apps?

Thank you in advance.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Dan330:
hi,

having a discussion with my friend about our phones and why hero is better than his.

I have a friend, he has iphone 3GS. Says that he can Multi-task on it. He can play music in the background, make a call on bluetooth, and surf the net; all at the same time.

This sounds like multi-tasking to me.

SO.. what am I missing? please enlighten me.

PS.. I love my hero!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
You can do certain multitasking on an unjailbroken iPhone, but can't run multiple apps at once. ie. you can't have an RSS app running in the background looking for updates, a twitter client waiting for messages and something else in the foreground.

AFAIK. But if it's jailbroken then I believe you can multitask.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rdgut:
listening to music on the background is not multitasking if you ask me.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Dan330:
oh.. yes.. he is jailbroken...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Raptor-21:
Why would he want to listen to music while making a phone call?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mwatson:
I have a 3GS and use pro switcher. This is multitasking that causes me no

lag or battery drain. more here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9C0oFj40Ms&feature=related
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ldavies83:
Having owned a 2g/3g/3gs and Android phones I can tell you for certain 3gs is not multitasking, although it makes up for it very well.

Its a bad example I know but the moment you press the home button on the iphone it will either quit the app completely, or suspend it. When its suspended the app cannot carry out other tasks, Tomtom passes a junction you should have turned at, you've missed it because the phone isnt multi tasking. Wheras your android phone tells you to "Please turn Left in 300yds" :)

A good example of iphone os's made up "multi tasking" is the ability for you to exit certain apps (the stock apps are best) and resume as if you were multitasking - Contacts for example, opening a contact then hitting home, openning your emails, hitting home again, then going back to contacts, and it maintains the same view, as if you've never left that screen. Its a simple thing but works really well.

Phones I've had in the last 12 months include the G1, HTC Diamond, HTC Touch, iPhone 2g, 3g, 3gs (all size variants), HD2 leo, + a few others that I cant remember, and soon a Hero :D so I've tried pretty much every smartphone available.

Oh.. and my 3gs is jailbroken for that very reason I need true multi tasking on a couple of apps rather than push notifications :) Backgrounder to the rescue :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Android does this too, as well as allowing true multi-tasking.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] DaanJordaan:
Hahahahahaha Nice one
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Dan330:
:p

joking aside...

It was just an example...

anyways, can anyone..

give me a better way to show me and my friend, how to confirm that the iphone can not multi-task???
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Well, Spotify is a good example. Stream some music and then switch away from the app to do something else - the music will stop. This doesn't happen with the Android version.

Of course, if he's jailbroken and running Backgrounder, this won't apply, as he could use Backgrounder to stick Spotify into the background but it does highlight the issue for most iPhone users.

It should really be stressed though that the iPhones lack of multi-tasking is not a technical issue with the OS - the OS is perfectly capable of multi-tasking, and indeed many of Apples own apps are permitted to multi-task.

The issue is that Apple specifically disallow 3rd party apps from multi-tasking as they believe this "improves" the user experience. This may well be true for the vast majority of iPhone users, but personally I'd prefer the choice without having to resort to jailbreaking the phone.

I fully expect Apple to relent in the very near future, and a future OS version will allow apps to run in the background. This will be quite ironic if they do so, because apparently Windows Phone 7 is purported to disallow multi-tasking too!

Dave

I am a addict of moutain walk. I am use to record my tracks on google earth with my phone. Some applications in Android/Iphone OS do that)

With an iphone i cannot do anything else! With android i can listen webradio music, send a picture of the landscape by email to friends, look landscape infos and historical informations on the web, tweet, use google buzz, etc.. while always recording my tracks.

It's impossible to do that with an Iphone! I have to stop the recording that is really stupid!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kernal panic:
Locale is the example I often use. Runs in the background and changes phone settings based on location, etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nuumuun:
a simple test would be entering a url in the browser, hitting enter and immediately going back to the home screen. then wait a minute or so and go back to the browser.

on the iphone the browser will have stopped loading the page and will have to reload. on android the page will have loaded in the background and will be fully rendered.

although the iphone can support multitasking when jailbroken with apps like backgrounder, i find it a hassle i can happily live without on my hero :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Xandlinger:
Locale would be my example as well -- love the app to death <3
[Hero, G2 Touch General] klbjr:
As much as this pains me to say...

Palm Pre/Pixi = True Multitasking
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Not sure what this is supposed to mean when Android supports "true multitasking".

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Soaa-:
Full multitasking with every app's UI being constantly updated is a flawed concept, especially on restrictive environments such as smartphones. After all, we can only see one app at a time on these small screens of ours.

The key element here is background services. Android has support for background services, meaning anyone can write a music player and have it play music in background. iPhone does not allow that; only the stock music player can run a background service to play music.

The example applies no only to music players, but to IM apps, to email, etc. A prime example would be browsing the web with an IM app running in background. Impossible on iPhone, and done by many on Android.

iPhone tries to remedy the situation by offering push notifications, but they rely on external servers sending notifications to the phone, and we all know how pleasant it is to get a popup in our face while we're playing a game. Besides, push notifications don't address the problem of background services that do things other than sending notifications, such as the music player.

Android's multitasking model is a good example of how background services should work on phones. It separates the UI from the service, so that the UI can be suspended or even killed while the service still does its job.

On a sidenote, I'm quite sure Windows Phone 7 will have support for background services. Their main point is how most apps will be directly integrated into their UI, though. I like the concept.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] klbjr:
Well maybe I should have clarified. Yes the Hero allows for background apps to continue to run when you switch away from it to another app. It's the whole process of switching between the different apps that to me encompasses "true multitasking". The Pre/Pixi just handles the whole process much more smoothly and fluid. Better than any phone currently on the market. That is the only reason why I haven't gotten rid of mine as of yet. Even after having the TP2, Moment and now Hero, I still find myself using my Pre for most daily tasks. For me, I can do things twice as fast on my Pre than any other phone I have had and they are without question the Multitasking King/Queen of the market.
