MS had to start from scratch for sure in terms of backend. But this UI is just hideous and messy, and the whole closed concept is disappointing...

Sense was the perfect UI. Finished, written for the new OS, that would have been a blast.

But well, we can have a little hope... I'm pretty sure HTC wouldn't have developed Sense for one and only phone, the HD2, knowing it would have to be scrapped right after... WM6.5 and WM7 in parallel?
[HD2 General] WhyBe:
I think it is many smart choices. MS can't excel in the smartphone market only appealing to customization geeks. That's not a smart business model.

I don't doubt xda will find a way to hack and modify WP7 in due time anyways.
[G1 General] erlern:
Hi guys,

I am envious of the type of peripherals that are developed for the iPhone. The recent payment system (Squareup) is one such thing that frustrates me (https://squareup.com/). Since the G1 will not gain much performance tweaks in the hardware side, I was thinking why not create peripherals that would make it even more useful than before? I know there has been some (like the bluetooth watch). I am looking to brainstorm and get some feedback on this.

What peripheral do you think would really be 'cool' or 'useful' to have for the G1/HTC Dream? I would always be up to investing some 'seed' money for something interesting.

Thanks. :)

P.S. Moderators, I do not know what section this should be in, since it is partly a brainstorm and partly a development thing.
[G1 General] hiddengopher:
I think it's impossible because the G1 is dead, whether we like it or not, it's an ugly 2 year old phone. The nexus one is where companies want to make money on this stuff. There's no publicity on the G1 anymore.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wuZheng:
First of all, this is only for those of you having trouble with the automatic "update" process, or just simply don't want to deal with it. My experience was that Rogers wouldn't budge on the enabling data/voice for me over the phone, and I wasn't going to just divulge that I freely modified the stock software.

That being said, I worded it such that it seemed like it was an error inherent to RUU and the tech gave me files and a process to manually wipe the phone clean and place the new stock Rogers HTC Magic radio/spl/rom/etc on the phone.

The following was the body of the e-mail Rogers customer service sent me.

If reading that somewhat confused you due to Rogers making a very very simple process sound more complicated than it is, here are the Coles notes:

1) Download both files, extract them (probably into separate folders if you don't want to figure out which ones which later).

- The two files:

Part ONE: hotfile.com/dl/28643488/a186d30/HTC_Magic_Update_File1.zip.html

Part TWO: hotfile.com/dl/28645075/369062f/HTC_Magic_Update_File2.zip.html

2) Put the first SAPPIMG.zip on an SD card.

3) Volume-down + PWR

4) Wait for prompts, press trackball when prompts come up.

5) Reboot after first part done, and take battery out immediately.

6) Delete the first part off the SD card, put the second SAPPIMG.zip on.

7) Repeat steps 3->5

8) Delete second part off SD card (you don't need it anymore and its on your computer, presumably)

9) Power on phone, should be stock Rogers HTC Magic cupcake (Android 1.5) with Sense UI, and you'll find it rather slow.

10) From here if your services (voice, data, etc.) are still inactive, you now can claim you've done what Rogers has asked and demand for your services back (which you really shouldn't have had taken away from you in the first place, but I digress)

11) After getting yourself up and running again on Rogers, you can re-root your phone, flash a new radio/ROM/whateveryouwant from here.

Cheers,

wuZheng
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xaueious:
DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU ARE ROOTED YOU WILL END UP WITH A PERFECT SPL AND CAN NO LONGER BE ROOTED (AS OF RIGHT NOW).

There are proper update instructions elsewhere. Do NOT follow the above guide.

Hi there,

I recently bought the TD2 and hoped to be able to use my beloved Nokia BH-215 bluetooth headset with it. However, the sound quality is poor and it keeps getting disconnected. HTC informed me that it is incompatible with my phone.

Is there any way I can make it work with my TD2? Could a cooked ROM help? (I'm still using the stock ROM). Or can anyone recommend another compatible "clip"-type headset that works?

Many thanks!

Nat
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] Drag-On:
my gf uses the nokia bh-214. the quality seems great and all and although she uses it on her old fashioned nokia, i have paired it with my HTC (using dutty's newer ROMs) and it worked fine (volume controls were laggy, but that's about it)

i personally use the SE HBH-DS980. see this post for my review: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=629787

[Touch HD General] kelvinleow:
I have 5000 contacts, and about 1000 calendar items.

Running Win XP. Office 2003.

When on WM6.1 (Dutty) all the sync are complete.

When I upgrade to any WM6.5 (I've tried Dutty, Energy, Leo, PDAViet, etc), the sync will have the errors, saying something about not able to sync with exchange server.

However, I'm not using Exchange server, but rather Outlook sync only.
[Touch HD General] jimk68:
Not only outlook, it happen with window live and ms myphone, error and live and myphone just hang at certain % and you get a lot of same entries. At outlook add notes to your current view and you can see, I think sense add detail like <...Do not delete.. so and so facebook.. etc> Delete it clean up double entry. Anyway Energy 21891 works.

Hope it help

[Touch HD General] kelvinleow:
Not sure what you mean by 21891?

You mean only 21891 ROM works? Sync will be not an issue?

Help me please, I have huge problem with some icons in my start menu!

Problem is that since last night I dont have those 5, if I can say normal-official icons named People, Calendar, Music, Footprint and Peep in my start menu, but I have some strange icons (white square with blue ribbon on the top of square) with new names HTC People, HTC Calendar, HTC Music, HTC Footprints and HTC Twitter in start menu.

Every time when I removed them (delete) from windows/start menu after every new restart of phone they are still there.

Does anybody knows how to remove that white square icons and to restore "normal" icons in my start menu folder in order to see them when I press start, or at least how to change look of that white icons, just to look like normal icons?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamarock:
Hello team:

I have tried several Hero ROMs, and some of them are pretty fast once installed and even when you have installed 30 or 40 apps, but for some strange reasons, after 2 or 3 days of normal use, all of them become too slow...

I have noticed this annoying effect on MLGIN 3.2, Maxisma Sapphire 2.0.1 and MgthyMax 1.9.1

Anyone know the cause of this behaviour? any way to fix this?

I´m currently running MghtyMax with a Swap partition of 192 Mg (Class 2 8GB SD card, 60 Swappiness)

Many thanks

Rgds
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiddengopher:
how do you set the swappiness? I have mine 128 swap 512 ext4 and its class 6
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunu:
Hero Roms are supposed to be used with Class 6 but I've been using Class 2.

I used ext3 (since not all ROMs support ext4 for some reason) - 512 mb, 96 swap, and rest fat32.

This is what I do to keep Hero Roms fast

1) Install the apps that you use a lot or need. You will be surprised at all the apps that you never used. I have about 20-25 apps installed in MLIGN 3.2B

2)Get the app CacheMate (the one with the trashcan icon) and use that to clear cache. This will speed up the phone a lot.

3)Once you boot up your phone go through all the homescreens and let everything load up (like widgets) and then go through and open up the Sense UI apps (stock apps that came with the ROM) and let them load. Go through all the options.

4)If things let you auto rotate, let them auto rotate for a while (like for camera, albums, browser, mail clients, etc) I let them auto rotate after I boot up the Hero Rom and the Rom gets faster.

5)Over clock to 528 min and max when the screen is off and 328 min and max when the screen is off. I use SetCPU and this helps with performance when using the phone and saves battery when the phone is in sleep mode.

6)If things start slowing down, reflash the ROM without wiping (like I flash MLIGN 3.2B and Deport 1.0 if the ROM starts slowing down and it speeds things back up)

I have been using my HTC HD2 for a while now and I could swear the first two items below worked for me before but here goes. The last question is a "how to"

When playing music through the standard album art interface I get several issues

When in portrait mode you can't flip between albums only songs within an album

I can't find a STOP button, only a pause button. Where is the STOP?

I can't find the menu to play the playlists I created

Appreciate your help folks
[HD2 General] lorin.bute:
Lazy HTC developers :)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
1 press library - albums tab. there isn't room for all variant options on the front screen.

2 pause stops playback, and only having one button saves screen space. since the m music tab is always in memory it makes no difference if the track is paused or stopped.

3 click library choose play list tab click the list you want then click any song in thee list.playback starts from whichever song you click.
[HD2 General] Robrecht:
About the first question:

When you first got your phone, it only had the pre-added music that HTC put on it: just a couple of songs to demo the music player, with only one song in each album.

The first time you used the music player, all these songs were loaded in the "now playing" list. Since each album had only one song, skipping songs meant skipping albums. I think that's where you got the idea that you could flip through albums in portrait mode.

In fact, you can't; you can only skip through the songs that are currently loaded in the "now playing" list.

To flip through your albums, switch to landscape mode (you probably knew that already).

I am not sure if it's possible unlike nokia to store messages in Memory card but you can use a backup program like PIM Backup which takes backup of ur messages and contacts and later restore it. It's a very small utility and create backups in zip format.

Use Microsoft My Phone, this gives you the option of backing up all txt mgs on line, then you can restore all of them after a hard reset.

hello,

is it possible to make a mod for incoming dealer as a popup function like palm pre?

when i'm working with word or excel and haven't time to talk with someone or i don't wanna block the dealer, this function will be pretty cool.

its a simple thing but this can be very comfortable i guess

thnx
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] |oLo|:
Magicall 2.2 ?

First or all...in my opinion, hitting the ignore is just ask quick as acknowledging a a pop up window but we all have our preferences.

There's a software called Magicall by Mobilion that will block the call from ringing but still show that a call was made via system notification (pop up window). You can set it to notify you in what ever way you like (window, light, etc) You can set it for specific numbers, all, numbers from difference outlook categories, etc. I find it useful when at work and only want very important contacts to come through and all the rest gets sent straight to voicemail automatically.

Hope that helps. Hope that's what you are looking for.
