Hi there,

Hopefully one of you guys can help me, I'm needing to know whether Manilla's tabs i.e, the ones on the main interface -today, messaging, contacts, etc- are actually files located somewhere within the device.

like an exe/or similar file that would move to that tab when clicked. Not actually open it, but just move to the that tab within the Manilla interface.

It's an idea I have for getting round the landscape problem that bothers us HD2 owners.

Many thanks
[HD2 General] Archer:
I'm certainly no manila guru, so can't really give much advice, but from what I do know I can tell you that manila is a single app and it runs as a today plugin. The graphics that make up the manila theme are spread around in the windows folder (and there's LOTS of them), as well as config files (xml file format), but that's where my knowledge stops.

It's basically 1 big application, not seperate ones.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Have a trawl through the rom development and the themes and apps sections, there are a few good reads on the manila files.

Also, try the advanced google search instead of the site search, it turns up some good stuff, sometimes for different phones, but the info is valid.

Try this

tut edit manila +hd2 +leo

the google page which is worth bookmarking is

Have taken HSPL, and as i understand i dont can go back to factory condition software.

What do i do? Could i download a ROM like the one who was on the phone when i byed it?
[Touch HD General] Smobbo:
I think you mean that you want to go back to your shipped (standard) rom?

At the end of this opening post you find the solution: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=431217

Which rom you need is based on your country/phone operator. The wiki has a long list of stock (shipped) roms!

I tried that. But the hole screen went blue. I think i ****d it up now.

Nordic business area manager for Windows Mobile said on his blogg that there will be no more Sense on a Windows phone 7 phone...

Translated from swedish to english with the help of google:

"There will be no Sense to HTC Windows Phone 7 Series phones. It is entirely a Microsoft-defined experience that HTC can add things to, but not changing how it works. It's totally fine."

here is the source http://wissinger.wordpress.com/2010/02/15/en-annorlunda-telefon-windows-phone-7-series/#comments its in swedish so translate it with the help of google....
[HD2 General] Volw:
It's not very surprising.

It's part of their brand awareness strategy. Same like the PC Windows 7 Starter edition, were changing wallpapers is blocked.

MS wants to push their new OS and separate themselves from the previous WinMo. Most of WinMo phones now, have custom UI to hide the uglyness of stock system. So releasing a new system and allowing custom UIs would go unnoticed to the average Joe.

I'm sure they will allow custom UIs after a certain period of time tho. It will also give companies designing custom UIs more time to implement the new features.
[HD2 General] KB24@CL:
well ultimately...sense was supposed to cover microsofts ugly user interface...thats no longer necessary...

with that said...the weather animations are still nice and I hope HTC will somehow integrate them in winmo 7 and also the homescreen is simply something I'm used to...since the diamond...I can't imagine my phone looking different on home screen:D

but seriously, thats the only thing I miss about sense...other than that it was clear that sense won't survive...

it supports no widgets which sucks

its written in lua which nobody understands

you have to modify manila files which means if you have multiple modifications, you can't delete stuff anymore.

it has some very useless tabs, yet doesn't allow you to create own tabs with important stuff...who needs a footprint tab again?

so overall it was clear that sense wouldn't survive too long in the current concept...you see what HTC has done with android...I hope they will be doing some innovative stuff with winmo 7...mainly the main screen in sense is awesome and the weather animations.

I had to cancel my tzones plan yesterday since I switched contracts and got a new 9.99 unlimited web2go plan.

I changed the apn settings to internet2.voicestream.com.

It worked for approximately 6-10 hrs and now its giving me an error saying "cannot connect". been trying for last 4 hrs.

anybody else having problem......

Or

Am I doing something wrong in the apn settings?

I know it a minor detail and I'm just being picky but hey
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dominicanman912:
call tmobile and find out..... tzones and web2go are both wap internet.... internet2.voicestream.com is usually associated with the higher internet plans as well as it is being replace with the new tmobile universal apn for higher end internet plans( epc.tmobile.com)

bottom line.... sounds like you have wap data plan and using an apn from a higher data plan

Anyway, my point is wouldn't it have been clever to have mentioned what country you're in to start off with. This is an international forum after all.

Hi all!

I have got the chance to make a 5min interview with the Product manager of SPB Mobile Shell @the MWC2010. This version is very pre-apha/beta. It will come later this year (i think q2, but it´s not official).

More information about SPB Mobile Shell 5.0 and the new OEM-stuff you will find here: http://spb.com/press/pressreleases/...gs-support-for-symbian-and-android-along.html

So first: SPB Mobile Shell 5.0 will come to WinMo (5.0 or later but not WP7S), Android and Symbian.

You can find my pics of SPB MS5.0 (Android) on my learnbemobile.com-Facebooksite: http://www.facebook.com/pages/learn...!/album.php?aid=198228&id=306470884347&ref=mf

Even thou its an HD2 it doesnt mean a ****. So what if Microsoft is using the HD2 for WinPhone 7 commercial? They used the hell out of the Touch Diamond to promote WM 6.5 but we never saw it coming officially.

And porting, how do you guys know its as "easy" as before. Cab files and roms:s?

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Reihnold:
And hypothetically: IF there is a prototype that runs Windows Phone 7 and looks like the HD2, it does not mean that it shares the same internal hardware. HTC might provide a prototype based on the HD2 with different hardware specifications (faster/other CPU, different graphics processor, more internal storage, ...).

However, I think the best explanation is that Microsoft uses the HD2 in a commercial without it running Windows Phone 7.

I used to have, but now can't find the settings page for e-mail. I am going out of town, and want my email to download periodically. The settings window is nowhere to be found!

I can't delete an email account because...same window is missing.

Any ideas?

Ok i having been looking at this phone for a while and i just wanted to get some feedback from owners. How does it feel in your hand how is the speed all that info will be great. One big problem is that i cant go to a tmobile store and mess with the phone and if i order it and dont like it i have to play a $45 dollar restocking fee. so your input will be great
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Got nothing but praise for your criteria... seems the right size for my hand, and well built. Just enough weight to it to not feel cheap.

Speed is very good coming from a Nokia N95, so probably not the best person to judge. In general, it's bloody good. My first Android phone but didn't take a lot of getting used to.

It has occasional (rare) keyboard oddness, although that seems par for the course to be honest, and a quick lock/unlock is all that's needed to sort it.
[Nexus One General] McFroger3:
This phone is amazing. It is really fast and I never have any lag. The stock ROM on it only supports 256 RAM atm, but Cyanogen has the himem kernal in his build. The phone is really light and very thin. The phone has a nice texture to it and the screen is amazing. The soft keys can get a little annoying at time but its not something that would stop me from loving this phone. The pictures it takes are very good and the video is better than most phones I have had in the past. The LED flash is super bright and helps take nice pics when its dark. One other gripe I have is, if you want to take out the micro sd card you have to remove the battery. Hope this helps you decide.
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
the phone feels awesome! my hands feel soothed and at peace when they are holding the phone... bout the only way i can describe it ;)
[Nexus One General] hmarcus:
its by far the best phone i've ever owned (iphone 3G, BB Bold, Nokia E71, HTC Magic) in terms of build quality. It is one of the fastest phones on the market right now, and it is absolutely evident in the software and the overall snappiness. The back of the phone is a soft-touch rubbery type of material on the back. There are metallic accents and the screen is unbeatable. When I first looked at the screen when I opened it was amazing. When you look back at your old phone is where you will see the difference. The Nexus will make any phone you've owned look washed out and low-res. Overall, I'm happy I bought the phone.

It does suck that you can't go to Tmo and test one out and there are no "google or htc stores". which brings me to my first problem with the phone. If something goes wrong with it you have to pack it up, go through a gauntlet of phone calls, send it in, and wait for your money back.

Second problem (and I'm not sure if it's widespread or just me) is the power button. It gets stuck and is not very sensitive. It has the same function as the iPhone's button. It turns on the phone and puts it into sleep mode. Mine is completely stuck and takes me several hard pushes to get it to react. It may just be my phone, but with any technology there will be some risk I guess.

Other than that it's a great phone. If you plan on rooting with it then add an extra 2000% more awesomeness.

Hope that helped a little.

cheers

[Nexus One General] uansari1:
I'm running mine totally stock. I can tell you that when I was messing around with my G1 a couple days ago, which runs SuperD (arguably the fastest G1 ROM), I found myself waiting for apps to open or screens to switch... what I'm saying is that the N1's speed will spoil you.
[Nexus One General] TailsNeon556:
hands down the best phone ive ever owned.. and ive owned quite a few.. i absolutely love the speed.. the feel.. weight.. battery life could be a touch better but im not complaining.. its much better than the G1.. which this thing trumps it in every category... i actually enjoy using the v keyboard .. dont miss the hard keyboard at all... you wont be dissappointed

Honestly I think it's too slippery some of my friends almost dropped it x_x. So now I don't like anyone to use it if i don't have the case on.
[Nexus One General] NexusX:
I am concern about all of these keyboard/buttons malfunctions. There has been a lot of talk about the 3Gfix. Are they fixing these touch screen problem or are they just eeeee.

Also is it possible to use this phone without data plan? Just use wifi for data? I am not into paying $30, while I am surrounded by WiFi for a good part of my day. Anyone comment on the suitability of the Wifi?
[Nexus One General] McFroger3:
The wifi has been all good to me. And I know you can use it without a data plan tho only if you pay the full price.
[Nexus One General] Namuna:
Fit & Finish

I have bigger hands (XL size gloves), I find the N1 to be a great fit. I can comfortably and securely hold the phone with one hand, while also using just my thumb to do pretty much everything.

Speed?

Impressive indeed. Windows and apps already open are near instantaneous to switch to, and opening an app fresh is still satisfyingly fast.

Screen

Along with the crisp colors and excellent contrast, a BIG plus not to be missed is the resolution (480x800). At that rez, the level of sharpness and detail is fantastic.

To be fair, there's also been a large amount of frustration and complaints...Most notably spotty 3G performance. If you haven't already, you should also check out the Google Help Forums to get an idea of what people are complaining about. For me though, I've had no issues.
[Nexus One General] NexusX:
Some people said that their Wifi do not reconnect automatically when they turn it on. Any problem you have with that? it is kinda of important for that to be automatic if I use it as my "data plan"
[Nexus One General] McFroger3:
I have had mixed results with it auto connecting. Sometimes it will without a hitch, and sometimes it will make me manually do it.
[Nexus One General] dchadwick:
Love this phone. I have had the iphone 3g, iphone 3gs, g1, palm pre, sprint cdma hero, and now the nexus one. The nexus one is by far the best of all of them. It does have some things that make me grumble like the soft keyboard but with all the alternat keyboards its not hard to find something to make you content.

The screen and the feel in the hand are the best features about this device. It is smoking fast but with a screen like this I am happy to wait and stare. ;)

[HD2 Accessories] lemonspeakers:
Please help me. I am tired of trying so many different screen protectors and

none

of them seem to fit the HD2 perfectly.

I've tried many about 3 sellers from ebay and even the invisibleshield screen protectors.

I cannot seem to find one that is perfectly aligned to the HD2's screen from top to bottom and side to side.

Here the invisible shield screen protector. Look how badly it aligns around the speaker and from side-to-side!

Can someone please recommend me a perfectly aligned screen protector!

I don't care if it's glossy or matted. Just as long as it is perfectly aligned, sticks very well and high quality and NOT cheapy!

Thank you so much guys.

And if you can please take a picture of your recommended ones...That's be great!
[HD2 Accessories] wilcovh:
the alignment around the speaker is done with a purpose. this cutout in the screenprotector makes sure the lightsensor and proximity sensor are not blocked.

if it fits tight around the speaker hole the proximity switch isnot working anymore. this sensor is controlling the switching on and off of the screen in a call. when the screen protector covers this sensor this means the screen goes and stays dark when making a call and when you remove the phone from your ear the screen will not light up. so you will not be able to control the phone by the screen.

i had a screen protector where it had a hole for this sensor but was not properly aligned so had the same effect and i had to cut it the way yours looks to getit working again
[HD2 Accessories] lemonspeakers:
Can you tell me where she got her's then? Brand? And also, is the SP aligned edge to edge?

Because I hate a screen protector that does leaves about 1cm of screen unprotected (see pictures).
[HD2 Accessories] donalgodon:
Not to step on anyone's toes here, but let's also remember that the purpose of the screen saver is to protect the screen from damage, which I highly doubt is likely to occur in the nanometer of space at the edge of an imperfect screen protector. I do realize that we want to do the best we can to make things right, but I am just trying to throw a little perspective into the mix.

I will always vouch for Martin Fields... however you can also consider PDair's screen protector... mine fits ALL the edges perfectly... it also follows the speaker grill... you can't even tell its there.

I use that one too. Very nice feel in use, and washable too so you can have multiple attempts at applying it perfectly.

fits perfect but 15 dollars for just one screen protector, the oem iphone one is 10 for 2 and theyre the best ones they make
[HD2 Accessories] Rhyn0:
we have a saying here: "you get what you pay for". As the chances of me scratching the screen or even just the protector are very slim (haven't scratched a screen yet) i think it was well worth the money. Also, big plusses for me were the button cutouts, instead of it not covering the whole glass area like ebay ones, the feel when touched almost identical to the glass screen, and also the free install by a professional, which guaranteed a perfect, bubble free fit. Also, if you don't have pro to install it for you you can take it off and just wash it..
