I've owned a 2125, 3125, 8925, and a dream, also convinced my GF to pick up a CDMA Hero... I absolutely LOVE Android and what it stands for, WinMo was far from a "Pleasure" to work with, clunky and hard to work with, android was fast and beautiful, but frankly Android seems to be getting a bit clunky on some of these old ~500mhz phones with ONLY ~100mb of usable ram, its kinda sad, android is far from "optimized", obviously Android as of now is more of the "hardcore" choice, but frankly I think WP7S (Windows Phone 7 Series, lol) looks promising, and the interface is supposed to be a pleasure to use, I've only used a ZuneHD briefly, but it was clean... they may have cut and run on their 6.x customer base, but those people arent the same people that are going to buy a WP7S phone, was anyone really looking forward to seeing a WinMo 6.6? No.

Good move Microsoft, I think alot of people here will be surprised in ~10 months.

Agreed. Tell me why Microsoft was like..... "Hmmmmm, if apple can turn there media player into a phone as well and make billions, why cant we?"

Well one, no one likes Zune. (as referenced here.) Lol. :D
[Hero CDMA General] seaweedopm:
Zune You

People sometimes enjoy things that aren't in their best interest. Zune is not one of those things. It, as many subscription services, allows a real use of music. While you can buy songs/albums, you can also listen to them without an upfront cost. With that said, still many people choose to use media players with only one of those options. Oh Well.

Anyway, my main point was that you are wrong:

While apple turned their media player into a phone,

Microsoft will turn their phone into a media player.
[Hero CDMA General] akijikan:
People have been raving about the Zune HD, and if the music experience on WM7 is similar, it will succeed.

I think WM7 will be huge, but I don't know if its for me.
[Hero CDMA General] seaweedopm:
The Zune HD is def nice. I'm using the Hero right now which is far better than my last 4 phones; original iPhone, TP2, TP & Diamond. I'll probably give WP7 a try when it comes out. The OLED is amazing and can't beat having the Zune marketplace. I bet you can use something like Shazam to find a song and then download it instantly (without paying).
[Hero CDMA General] e5oteric:
Very well said...if we can get a touch more aesthetic I think we'll be fine, the platform is downright amazing.

Coreplayer also support flac files.....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Cret:
Thanks for the replies guys. I wonder why nothing showed up on my search....

Odd though as I tried in Coreplayer some time ago and it didn't work so I assumed it didn't support them. Will try with different files.

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] maverick.bg:
Yes, with TCPMP, Core Player without any problems and with S2P and Windows Media (after installing opencodecs for WM5 and soft reset ). For S2P you need to write play list with Windows Media and then select that play list in S2P to play songs.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] yawnmoth:
The HTC TyTN II had a 3.1 megapixel camera and the HTC Touch Pro2 has a 3.2 mexapixel camera. Not a big difference but the pictures should at least be a little later. In point of fact, though, they're not. The HTC Touch Pro2's camera app seems to only support pictures up to 2045x1216 big whereas the HTC TyTN II does pictures up to 2048x1536.

My question is... how can I increase the resolution? If the spec sheets are correct, the hardware supports higher resolutions, even if the software doesn't.

[Nexus One General] Bryce2010:
I am seriously considering paying $700 (or more) to buy a N1 from a guy where I live in Canada, or maybe getting one from Ebay.

My questions are:

*Jailbreaking, or rooting as I understand it's known in the Android world, is a must. I did it many times with my iPhones & never had any problems - and with the N1 it looks like this goes to a whole new level. But what are the chances of bricking the phone? With the iPhone there was always the feeling that if anything went wrong one could always do a restore with iTunes, but it was a such a solid OS so it was unlikely that would happen anyway. Is that the same with the N1? Is it 'easier' to brick it? Or is it like the iPhone: if one is careful and takes their time it really isn't a big deal.

*There are a lot of horror stories on here; dust under screens, bricked phones etc, how common is this? And if I do have any problems, will I be able to get a replacement or service from HTC even though I'm in Canada & did not get the phone through Google? I remember I bricked a RAZR a long time ago doing mods, it was sent for repair and they replaced it at no charge because they didn't know what was wrong with it. How common is something like this with the N1?

I'm a fool to spend $700+ on a phone, but then if something goes wrong with it either because of rooting or by no fault of my own, just to be out $700!! :eek:
[Nexus One General] david1171:
If you a careful and don't act stupid with your phone i.e. yanking the battery when flashing a radio or SPL or flashing a radio or SPL not meant for your phone, then there is zero chance to brick your phone.

The second question is more or less the luck of the draw, if you are really worried about it, then you should wait a few weeks before rooting your phone to see if it will have any of those defects. Supposedly HTC will replace devices that have obvious hardware defects (dust under screen, dead pixels) not related to any sort of software even with an unlocked bootloader.
[Nexus One General] Bryce2010:
ok thanks

so even though I'm in Canada & did not buy it from Google, HTC will probably help me out?
[Nexus One General] moto211:
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe you would need the original purchaser to handle warranty issues with HTC.

Hi all,

My question is more about the google web-service rather than anything to do with a handset, hope its ok in here.

I set-up a google account quickly and without much thought when I got my first android handset. Since then I have started to use it for mail, buzz, reader and various other things.

I would, however, like to change the googlemail password. Is this possible and if so how...
[General Questions and Answers] egzthunder1:
I think you may have to change it in the account first, then go to the device and see if you can change this in settings or something. If nothing else, delete the account and reopen it with the new password.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Since you now mention it works elsewhere, yes it is a router issue!

Some devices (and the Hero especially) don't play nicely with certain routers. You can try making a few changes to the settings (channel, encryption etc) as this may help.

Hi Guys,

I am currently using a Cell Pro Rom and I find that my it keeps flipping to landscape too often when I have my phone in portrait.

I always have to give it a shake to fix itself and it does get a bit annoying.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

(I remember I may have (not certain) that I might have changed the Sensor registry when I first got it, but I am not certain, does anyone know the default measurements?)

Any ideas are welcomed.

Many thanks in advance!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kimtyson:
Did you ask in the Cell Pro ROM thread? Seems a more logical place to ask. I tried that one out and did not have the issue you are describing. Good ROM too.

There is a G-Sensor Calibration in Settings- System.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jasonchiu:
I'm fearing the fact that I may have changed something in the registery as I got all excited the day i got the phone and went through the tweaks in the wiki.

I am not certain if I made any changes regarding the g sensor so I was wondering if anyone knows the defaults or if there is a .cab or ROM to flash to system restore.

Any clues?

Many thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dik23:
To me the g-sensor is a gimmick. I find it annoying and totally useless so I've turned mine off altogether. If I want the screen to rotate I push the keyboard out. I really don't see any use for it.

I did think the only use I had for it was the face down hands free thing but have since decided that I'd be quite happy to push a button for that. Hardly a hassle.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cirrob:
I just switched to the new 2.5 sense leaked rom for the rhodium and I was hoping there is a way to port the old in-call screen to this new rom. Having the calendar and notes buttons was really nice.

Anyway, I posted this in the general forum but it doesnt seem to get much play there, and I dont suspect it will after thinking about it a bit. This is more of a ROM issue, and since there was no chef for this rom, I was wondering if the fine folks here who are more intimately familiar with ROM modification, could help me out a bit.

Thank you in advance.

Guys,

I am interested in rooting my Telus Hero, but I am wanting to know if there is an original ROM image available for the Telus variant so that I can restore the phone to factory configuration if I need to. I mainly want to do this to install the Google Turn-By-Turn Navigation on it.

Thanks,

Y2J
[Hero, G2 Touch General] htc fan89:
just do a nandroid backup of your telus rom before flashing...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] y2jdmbfan:
In order to do a Nandroid backup I have to root the phone first correct? If this is the case, then there is no way to unroot the phone to it's default out of box state, correct?

Thanks,

Y2J
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Not quite correct, but close enough so as not to matter.

You don't need to be rooted to run Nandroid, but you do need to boot a custom recovery image. On earlier stock ROMs, it was possible to boot a recovery image without flashing it do the device, but this probably isn't an option for you since I guess the Telus Hero has the new SPL which disallows this.

What you really need is an original Telus RUU, but I'm not aware if this publicly exists.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] craig0r:
That's correct, there's no public Telus RUU.

If you really want a Telus stock ROM to revert to, wait till the eclair update comes out.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sjeffrey:
@y2jdmbfan

I was in the same boat as you. Wanted to use custom ROM but always wanted to have to option to go back to stock Telus ROM. I lasted a little over a month and bit the bullet. To be honest, if you are comfortable with customs roms and general phone hacking then I don't think there's a need to wait. There are some good stable custom roms out there and I don't see a need to ever go back to stock Telus (unless you need warranty work perhaps? but not sure).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] y2jdmbfan:
I may bite the bullet tonight and try it out. I am using mine on AT&T in the USA anyways, so warranty work is out of the question.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
To be honest, if you've flashed a custom ROM and you phone does go wrong, in order to get it back to stock your phone would need function to such an extent that you could load an RUU on to it - if it was completely dead or the USB died, it wouldn't matter if you had an RUU because you wouldn't be able to install it anyway.

Regards,

Dave

I did search before I posted this (pre-empts all the "did you use search before posting" comments). :)

Is anyone on here using a cooked ROM with the following:

- HTC Sense

- HTC messaging disabled AND WinMobile messaging enabled

- MMS installed and working in the ROM, whether pre-installed or post-installed.

(Note: all 3 factors are interlinked and required; its not one or the other).

Have been through a fair few ROM specs to date but no joy as yet (I'm still searching as I write this).

If you are using a ROM with these attributes in place then please let me know which ROM it is.

Appreciate the help.

I tried installing aosp-2.1-jnwhiteh-r5-beta2.zip, after that it worked, but I couldn't import my contacts + the gallery crashes just like on r4, so I decided to go back to r4 again because i couldnt load contacts. But once installed it crashes completely, I get a ****load of messsages that certain applications dont work. Then any other rom I tried on every rom I get crash messages of all applications I get flooded with them.

I made a nandroid backup before, but what could have caused this weird error.

i am now an owner of the diamond2 and i am about to replace it for pro 2 because of two reasons

1- the stand-by of death attacked my device i am now getting it about twice a day, and nothing is working to fix it, from changing my rom to changing my radio rom, nothing does the trick

2-i feel like the pro2's bigger screen is going to be better

my question is , does the pro2 get this sod problem like diamond2

and also what's the average battery life for pro2

thanks

i've seen a couple posts about the SoD. From personal experience it seems to be heat that heightens its occurrence. I would say with moderate usage you can get a healthy 34 hours.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kimtyson:
Flashed 40+ ROMS and used stock ROM. Never any SOD, knock wood.

Battery life gets me through the day. It is really hard to compare this since we all do different things with the phone. Best bet is to compare manufacturers specs for both phones related to battery.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fone_fanatic:
i've only had SoD one or two times and both were related to an app in the background hogging all the memory. Never experienced it on a fresh flash of a rom.

Also battery life varies on different roms. right now running NRG's 10.Feb.2010 21891 rom which has pretty good battery life.

Also the radio you have installed effects the battery life.

As for switching from a diamond, i had the at&t fuze before this and the keyboard on the tilt 2 (tp2) is far superior and the bigger screen is a super +

i'd say go for it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redcannon:
I also say get the TP2. I am not sure about your SoD problem (in fact, never even heard of it) but your second point is a good one. The bigger screen is nice, trust me I used to own a TP1.

And the hard keyboard is the best on any phone out there, period.

thank you all for your replies and help

i got my pro2 today and i've got to say that i am happy that i made this upgrade from diamond2

the screen size is a lot better though the difference seem a little from 3.2 to 3.6 but in real life it's a big difference, sound quality is great but the location of the 2 speakers at the bottom instead of the side made me lose a lot of calls to be honest.

but the key bored will make you forget any bad things you can imagine as a bad thing in a pro2

it's great in size and beautiful to use even for a guy like me with thick big fingers, i've got to admit it i loved it from first sight.

just wanted to share you with my ideas about the pro2 and thank you all for your great help.
