I plumped for a Sony Ericsson MW600 too : ) Works well....

Sound quality was my main concern after trying an Altec Lansing T515 speaker/headset combo - it's a great device (and available for less than £20 on Amazon UK ;) but the audio signal just isn't that great. Even with reg tweaks it's hit and miss...

As for the MW-600, I think the audio quality is great. The sound quality is better than I expected and I haven't experienced any intereference either indoors or whilst out cycling.

I guess there are a couple of potential downsides though: it can't be used and charged at the same time which is a shame, especially if you want to use it as an audio input for your Hi-fi. This is a shame because it sounds great, even through my low end NAD amp and Wharfedale speakers.

The mixed reports about the volume control are correct - it's a bit hit and miss. I think buttons would've been much more sensible. I hope I'll get the hang of swiping up the control to activate it and then touching it a second time to set the volume, but I doubt it.

Of course, there remain the usual stereo audio BT problems, such as not being able to use the phone's hardware keys to adjust the volume, or the in built software volume control in apps like TomTom, but that's not the fault of the handsfree as far as I can see. Interestingly, with both the MW600 and T515, you can adjust the volume from the phone if you're only using the handsfree connection as opposed to A2DP (set this via the Bluetooth app under settings)

My biggest problem with it is that it cuts the first couple of beats off of songs. No idea why. It even does it when playing through an album - really annoying. Does anyone else here experience that problem with the MW600?

They're only £30 on Amazon now - even my girlfriend thinks it's a billy bargain, woo-hoo! ("it's mine, back away from the MW-600, interlace your fingers behind your head and lay face down on the floor......")

By the way, setting LineSpeed to 320 and MinBitPool to 50 in the registry under HKLM\Software\Widcomm\Plugin\AV works very well with this device (can't remember which post pointed me in the right direction, but credit to whoever did : )
[HD2 Accessories] maximus9314:
Yeah, I'm also annoyed by the touch sensitive volume control at time. Sometimes I have to make multiple attempts to adjust the volume but yet by just holding the unit (i.e. trying to answer a call) I'd accidentally adjust the volume.

Same here, but not always. Actually, is this a problem with MW600 or HD2?

Pardon me, what do they do?
[HD2 Accessories] Ouzo:
Hey Maximus,

Unfortunately, I don't think it's just the HD2 cutting the first couple of beats from the start of tracks. My girlfriend's Touch 3G does it too (Microsoft Bluetooth Stack), and, more importantly, the T515 stereo handsfree I have doesn't exhibit the same problem. Poop.

Tried a build of Android on the HD2 last night, the hardware volume keys on the phone worked (!), yaaay, but the hardware buttons and display on the MW600 didn't. Oops. Sounded really good though : )

What do LineSpeed and MinBitPool do? Um, er, well, um, they invoke the sum of the sqaure root of Mars when it's in its final phase of orbit relative to Jupiter, and the flange widget on the grommit of my mountain bike to...um, improve the sound. I think. Someone always has to ask questions, sheeesh ; ) Seriously though, I think they improve the bit rate and hopefully, therefore, the quality of the stream of audio going to the MW600. The higher you set linespeed I believe the more likely it is you'll experience drop outs in the signal. You know, because of Mars' orbit in November. Or something. No, I'm not convinced by my explanation either, and I can;t actually find where I read about it now. Some of it was here on XDA in the HD2 section, some elsewhere on XDA for an older device, some on another site.

Think this was where I started http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=600752&highlight=a2dp+tweak.

If you're happy messing with the registry, give 'em a go. You need to soft reset afterwards. Pick something with lots of symbols and stuff going on and you should notice it sounds clearer and lighter afterwards.
[HD2 Accessories] maximus9314:
I see, thanks for the head up. I'm satisfied with my MW600's audio quality at the moment (mind you, at most of time I'm easily satisfied until I experience something better first hand) so I'll mess with Mars, err, I meant registry later.

Hello,

This is my first post so forgive me if it is in the wrong forum and or has previously been answered.

I have the HTC HD2 using MDJ_GingerBread_HD2_v.1.3_NAND. The BlueTooth device I use is Sony DR-BT140Q, prior to switching to Android the A2dp worked (next song, pause, etc.) now it does not. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
Since this is an Android problem, you will get more responses (and better answers) if you post over in that forum.
[HD2 Accessories] kiki_tt:
ah i see you have this problem.... i think ... i repeat i think you have some audio program that is set as the default ... and this program is the only program taking the a2dp commands

possible fix: check setting of the second music player on phone to make sure it is not the default player

install mortplayer... i found this program was good at recieving commands.. again it was set as the default player

Use TyphooN's ROM and you won't have this problem. It is a kernel problem w/MDJ.

[HD2 Accessories] badman112:
Okay i have done a search and not been able to find what i want, (just a few links to a few headsets that have half the functions) i have gone and bought a apple one that has a mic, volume, stop and play.

I want a proper one so i do not have to get my device out of my pocket. The one that came with it is crap does not even have a mic and volume control, the one i bought does the job but half and i need one with stop, play, next track, previous track, fast forward, rewind, pickup/drop call/voice command call and volume control.

I have looked around and not been able to find one please can anyone help me as price is no object in this matter.
[HD2 Accessories] xILukasIx:
The original headset DOES have a mic built-in.

Look at the small hole on the back of the control unit or however it is called.

But still, it has no volume keys...

Ha ha ha just tried to use my nokia N96 one did not work looking for my N95 one now going to try that.

N95 one did not work also..

Tried to combine the ipod one with the original one and still dont work.
[HD2 Accessories] ingenious:
Does anyone know of any nice headset adaptor with prev/next/pause buttons like on the original headset? The ear-plugs on the original one are by far the most uncomfortable I've seen, including the super-cheap red-black $1 Chinese you could buy in Bulgaria in the mid-90s :) The Omnia II comes with both an adaptor and very nice in-ear phones...
[HD2 Accessories] g0mib0y:
I found the a super headset!

I just got a Skullcandy headset this week. It is made for the iPhone but works super on the HD2. With a little cab file included in this link you get the iPhone function of one click stop/play two clicks skip to next song. Here is a link to the headset. http://www.skullcandy.com/shop/configable/index/links/id/1018/cid/6/

I am new here at this forum so im sorry if this questions is going to sound totally stupid and newbish but can someone please tell me what radio and spl are.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
The radio is the software that controls your phones signal, wifi bluetooth etc.

new radios are often improvements which help get stronger signals and better battery life.

Spl

http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/SPL

That should help you get a rough idea on what the SPL does, my advice is don't do anything to it unless your really sure what your doing.

Anyone else have this? I turn wifi off through the connections manager, turn the phone off and back on and wifi is renabled! I want it permantly off, driving me nuts!

Thanks in advance!

[HD2 General] Archer:
Have you recently flash a ROM? If so, then this may be a commonly known side-effect, cause by having the connection setup wizard running in the background. If this is the case, using the comm manager, switch to airplane mode. You may need to restart afterwards but it should just bring up the setup wizard. Just complete the process and your problem should disappear.

Hope this helps :)
[HD2 General] ste_brough:
Awesome, worked! Thank you so much!

Everytime I turned the phone off I could see the setup wizard running and I did think it could be that, but couldn't find a way of switching to it.

Thanks again!
[HD2 General] Archer:
No problem mate. Glad you sorted it :)
[HD2 General] Comzed:

In MMS options->There is a tab called Blacklist, in this tab nothing is displayed and how to use it?

Can i block some mobile numbers so that i wil not receive any messages from them? Is it any thing like that ?
[Touch2 General] nismogizmo:
i would like to know this as well..i've spent a lot of time going through menus and setting trying to figure out how to use the blacklist..

any help?
[Touch2 General] pkopalek:
Has anyone figured this out?

I just messed with it for 10 minutes.

I'm a computer technician, and I've used EVERYTHING but WinMo.

Totally lost, trying to set this up for my coworker.
[Touch2 General] s_carmel:
solution

taken from the htc mega manual:

1. Open and view the message.

2. To avoid receiving MMS messages from this sender next time, hit Menu >

Show > Message Detail.

3. On the Message Detail screen, hit Menu > Show > Contact Details.

4. Tap Menu > Save to Blacklist.

5. Tap Done.

btw its for mms only

When a new text msg comes to ur msg inbox folder from an unknown number which is not there in ur contacts list and now i want to store that number. How to do as there is no option to store the new number.
[Touch2 General] Frank C:
Go to "start", "settings", "personal", "phone", "advanced"......tic box new phone number......

Not 100% sure it does the job when receiving an SMS....and phone number must be visible ofcourse.....not hidden
[Touch2 General] ganesh.htc:
This is helpful when u get a call from unknown number and you can save it, but it will not work out when u get a sms from unknown number
[Touch2 General] $King:
Tap on the Number from the message view and it shows you the option - Save to Contacts.
[Touch2 General] ganesh.htc:
Its still not working :mad:

When i tap on the msg in msg view i am not getting "Save to Contacts" options

I am getting options like "Delete" "Reply" "Reply to all" "Forward" "Move"

I am using HTC Touch 2 phone.
[Touch2 General] $King:
I use the same phone, Ganesh and I am able to do it.

When you open the msg to read - It shows you the heading on the top line -

Conversation with XXXXX.

The next line reads -

XXXXX (TIME): actual msg displays here.

Now if you click on the second line which shows you the number & time; that will take you to the options of saving address: (in this case the number)

1. Send Email from Outlook

2. Search Address Book

3. Save to Contacts

On clicking the Save to Contacts, it takes you to another screen to add as a new contact or update existing contact.
[Touch2 General] ganesh.htc:

This is a good new for all Opera's Fan !!! Opera Mobile 10 has released the beta 3 version - which supports Windows Mobile non-touch devices ! In the download page, just choose "Keypad Phones" in "Opera Mobile 10 beta 3 for Windows Mobile phones" section !

Have fun !!!

P/S : Tested and it works perfectly in my Excalibur (3VO 3.10beta ROM). It looks like Opera Mini 5 beta 2 but run very smooth without the need of JBed, and there's no problem with keyboard like Opera Mini !

Hello (sorry for my basic English. I'm French)

I want a black and white taskbar that works on the latest official ROM HTC (6.6xxxx ...). The original taskbar is really ugly. I downloaded a black and white taskbar, but an icon does not work. It's the sound icon. It is not compatible with the latest official HTC ROM. I can not return the original taskbar and I can not find more beautiful black and white taskbar. Could you help me find a beautiful black and white taskbar?

Thank you ,

Here is a solution for the volume icon problem:

The choice for B&W taskbars for WinMo 6.5 is not that big...

Maybe you could like this one (scroll down for "black metal", you will see all icons, too) - I like it, there is only little color inside, but very useful in the daily usage...
[Nexus One Accessories] lazaro17:
So I've dropped my phone once and luckily it landed on its back so my screen is still scratch free. However the very minor scratches are all located on the battery cover along with the chrome bezel around the camera taking most of the scratches.

Due to my ocd I was wondering if anyone knew whether Google or HTC plan to sell replacement battery covers.

Thanks!
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
This has been asked and answered before. Call HTC's support number and they will take your information and call/email you back with a price quote. Then you can purchase it. They haven't added it to their webstore yet.
[Nexus One Accessories] lazaro17:
thanks for the info!

i guess i should search better next time :)

Hi All

I have come access the following "enhanced" battery for the HTC Touch Diamond 2/HTC Diamond II(T5353)/O2 Xda Diamond 2/HTC Tattoo.

I cannot paste the link so go to Expansys's website so search for product #194635 on Expansys.

Has anyone ever used this enhanced battery or something similar (not the BIG hi-capacity) ones? Does anyone know if the standard TD2 charger (charges the standard Li-Ion battery) would charge a Li-Polymer.

Tks, Paul

Yesterday I ordered battery on ebay = search "1700mah Spare Battery for HTC Dopod T5353 Diamond 2 II".

Howzit Paul (a joburg boy here :P )

ya i've been doing some reading and from what i can tell, there shouldn't be a problem charging...infact, i think ill be buying one soon, as my current chrging schedule (once every 1.5 days) is just too often.

how would u ship this to CPT out of interest?

If its the Andida 1700mAh one, it really isnt what they specify. Its around 1000mAh which is similar if not exactly the same as the stock HTC one for the TD2

Hi,

i switched back to MoDaCo 3.2b5 (Android 1.5) and i use Twicca now for a long time. it is the best Twitter client ever, but it works only on 1.6+ Roms.

I know there is any way to fake the Versionnumber but i don't know how.

(i think only the plugin interface will not work on 1.5 (like Twidroid))

Thanks for any help :)

regards,

rootbox00
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shenye:
it doesnt work on 1.5 because it doesnt have the APIs for it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Was going to say... changing the version number is just changing the version number. As Shenshang says, it's the APIs (pagackes) that are lacking.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tbman1996:
Is this possible though, as we could spoof the (UA/Version number) so the Buzz webapp will work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] narcotichobo:
As a foreign language student I often find myself looking for ways to use the language I'm learning/have learned on my winmo device. At first this can be very daunting as there are a lot of options out there, so I wanted to make this thread to consolidate any freeware or other options there are working for the current builds of winmo.

If people think this is a good idea I'll link this thread on the wiki. Please post any language inputs you have with a cab or a working link and I'll update the thread to include them.

INPUTS:

Chinese

Pinyin inputs

ZTA4 - (by far the BEST free pinyin input out there)

Non-Touchscreen

QVGA Touchscreen

VGA Touchscreen

WVGA Touchscreen with HTC skin (Recommended)

Handwriting inputs

Samsung Handwriting Input - VGA/WVGA Fullscreen input

Korean

Multiple Input Methods

Moakey v2 WVGA - Includes hand input, keyboard input, etc.

Japanese

Multiple Input Methods

Handwriting + Kana Input VGA/WVGA - Not touch friendly [Original Thread]

Touch Friendly Input - This is a cab I made combining touchkeysip + gesture10key SIP. NOTE: This is not an IME, you must separately install a japanese IME and use 411 japanese keyboard for it to work, but if you do it is an excellent touch friendly layout for something like the HD2.

Handwriting

Careace Japanese Writing Input - Includes font, original site here

Edit: If you have any stable working input methods for any language, please let me know.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] narcotichobo:
Whatever language input you decide to install you will need a display font to go along with it. If you might be using more than one language its best to go with one of the multiple ones listed at the top, but if you are sure to only use one language a dedicated single font will provide more robust support.

FONTS:

M8 CJKT Doggold v2 - Supports Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Thai

Ko_jp_cn - More robust Chinese/Japanese/Korean support, but no thai.

Sunglobe - Small Chinese Simplified font with Trad support

Microsoft Yahei - Supports all simp and Trad Characters and most Japanese, it is supposed to support Korean as well, but I can't get it to display.

Korean Font by Careace - Original website here
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ebichuX:
what about japanese ? :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] narcotichobo:
I don't want to post anything I haven't either A) personally tested or B) been recommended by another forum member.

I'll work on finding some japanese input solutions later today, as well as expanding the chinese inputs to include zhuyin, wubi, and maybe cangjie methods.

If anyone out there has a reliable input method, please share. In particular I think we need to find a korean method.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] narcotichobo:
There you go, japanese input added. Still need one that is touch friendly at WVGA though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ebichuX:
thank you.

But can't make it works, even with PQzII on my HD2 :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] narcotichobo:
Ok, I'm working on a solution. Can you tell me exactly what it does? Can you bring up the keyboard at all? Will it type, or is it showing boxes, or only typing english?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ebichuX:
can't find japanese keyboard. (the shift - ctrl - ctrl - shift can't work... don't have ctrl key :D )

and with pzqII when i lauch it, i have a white square in the middle of "start" word on top left, and can't activate anything.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] narcotichobo:
If you look in the original thread that I posted next to the japanese input, you will find that you have to go into the registry and manually change the keyboard to 411 instead of 409 (english).

I'm trying to find a way to avoid doing that, as both the chinese and korean inputs I have don't require that, but so far no dice.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bumskee:
nevermind, forgot to reset the the phone. hah.. 0_o

ok just tried editing peoples names in korean with moakey v2. and installed the korean font cab but doesn't seem to display any korean..

errm did I miss something?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] narcotichobo:
I strongly recommend the M8 CJKT cab, its worked the best for me so far.

I'm using it plus moakey + zta4 on my phone right now and they both work fine.

Remember, you may have to reset a couple of times when dealing with fonts and inputs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ebichuX:
that's a good solution when you use for long time japanese input.. but in my case, i wont go to registry and change a key every 5 seconds! :/

but, there's nothing hurry, i finally can't use the program i wanted, so i keep searching for a kanji learner / dictionnary, with japanese inputs AND handwriting :/
