Is there any way to make the contact's photo bigger?

There is enough space to resize it, and I also guess that text auto-fits to the screen if it would be much bigger.

Anyway, I would like to have it at least so big as the one on the top of sms conversation on the right...

Thanks for answers

Is it possible to show sender's photo on the email, on the email tab, or is opening the email only way to see the photo?

Thanks for answers
[HD2 General] dgsroadshow:
Go to on your phone

Contacts

All Contacts

Me

add photo !

Simple
[HD2 General] Bence:
This is not what I ment

I would like to have photo of the people who sent me email next to their address, like it's shown next to sms sender name...

I have that when I open email, but I want it on the email sense tab...
[Touch HD General] digo21:
Hi all, this might have been posted before but I couldnt find it really refering to what I need, so was wondering if anyone could help.

At the moment I have a standard touch hd (from Orange in the UK) with all the original roms etc, only unlocked to any network. Its running win 6.1.

Is there any way I can update the 6.1 to a newer version and are there any real advantages of doing so?

Is there also a way to backup my current roms/data on phone inc ase I do update things and things go wrong?

Is there also a way to backup my contacts/messages on my phone so that I can restore them incase of a problem?

Any help would be appreciated.
[Touch HD General] wiwaxia:
I uppdate my HD to 6.5, after that I disable defoult UI, install Spb MS, and few days ago discover, here on XDA the mod of the mod (mobile sense! <--). To backup online I used zyb but vodafone had buyed it so right now it's doesen't work.

5m ago I start My phone, application in my rom, use my old old old ID & PASS et voila', backup online of sms, agenda, to do, etc...etc...etc.... .

Try to find some other thread about touch hd but I think u can uppgrade to wm6.5 without problem and also backup online. U can 1st check if wm6.1 can run my phone ;)
[Touch HD General] digo21:
Im kind of unsure what u mean, can I not backup onto my computer?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Plenty of ways to backup. To backup emails/contacts you can use PIM Backup or activesync & outlook or 3rd party apps like SPB Backup, Resco Backup, Sprite

If you are wanting to backup everything your best to use the 3rd party apps as mentioned above. Another method worth investigating for quick install of everything after flashing is SASHIMI

If you looking to flash a new rom read this step by step guide.

Advantages of newer roms are tweaks/fixes implemented into them and also with wm6.5 more finger friendly interface
[Touch HD General] digo21:
cool, thanks for the advice.

Do the roms have wm 6.5 already on them, or is it a case of gupdating to wm6.5 seperately.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
roms basically have either wm6.5 or wm6.1 on them. If you currently have wm6.1 and you want wm6.5 you'll need to flash a rom with wm6.5 on it. If you look at title to each rom thread you should be able to work out which is which

Could be, but may not look too great.

Didn't thingonaspring do something similar to reduce memory on his last ROM? I believe people were also saying it was fast too.

Alright, I am ready to start doing some android development. Problem is I am not ready to make the jump to rooting. So is it possible to build the app, test it with the IDE, then install the app on the nexus with Unknown Sources setting.

I just wanted to learn android a little better before voiding my warranty, and I cannot afford a 2nd dev phone. However I anxious to start developing.

Possible?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mikey:
Re-opened in the apps forum.....more apporiate
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nmesisca:
you dont need root to develop. nor to install your test apps.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] UmbraeSoulsbane:
Duplicate post. As fyi, it tells me I cannot post for 30 secs and to try again in X secs. However it posts anyway.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] UmbraeSoulsbane:
Thank you. That is what I was hoping.

From the pm I got - when the dev post was locked - you should only need to root if you are building an app that requires root.

Now I just need to put the phone down and install eclipse. :)

Thanks to Mikey for moving this!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] sakej:
hmm ...

it was making a point

helpful idea to improve NOT just criticize ;)

and yes i know this thread form your signature ;)

dont you think it would be a way more convinient to have a seperate thread or even section for apps? this forum is soooo big (a good thing) and really could use a good reorganizing ;) just my point of view ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] orb3000:
It´s always nice to have new members with fresh ideas, but as we long time users, I got used to the way it is now, of course some changes would be nice and Admin are working on it, just visit the 1st sections.

So know better the site, use it, contribute and then you´ll have more idea what is really needed to improve.

Enjoy XDA!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] -Jonny-:
This is why the Wiki was created. A good place for organising important things in a structured way.

sakej, please do use it and add to it, it will help us all and all future XDAers.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] sakej:
sure

take a look here ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] PalDragan:
I felt the need to reply here so i just will do so.

I didnt wanna reply in your "Xda Apps" thread,so i'll say it here.

Don't be angry at me,but threads like that one,even if made with good intentions,are creating a mess. In my opinion.

Yes,that thread looks nice as a start,but sooner or later that thread will have 10,20,50 or 100 pages. So,when i come and wanna look for a program,what should i do. browse through these 100 pages.. or.. search. Well here is a better idea. older members here,created already in the wiki sections for free UNI programs. Why you didnt add them there ? It's all on one page,it has also some space for the description of the app. I contributed there with one app,palringo,not much but if everyone adds one,it will be pretty much complete. instead,we have a new thread/section for programs,one more now making the mess bigger,in my opinion. The way that thread started,it looks pretty much as a small start of something like http://www.freewarepocketpc.net , and there you have all. Same not tested on uni as in your "xda apps" thread. Consider this as a suggestion to try improve the existing database and system,for which,i'm sure,most of the members here think it works perfect. i'm one of them. Orb3000's sticky is perfect. Also,i even think it's great that the rom's are not put there as direct download links,rather as thread links,which is cool cuz i get with that click to remind myself what that rom is about when i see the post #1 from the creator of the rom. A direct DL link in the sticky would be bad,in my opinion. In conclusion,i came here recently as a NOOOOB,i read a lot,searched,learned the system quick,and for me it's perfect,i have no reason at all to ask any questions about anything,cuz really,all is already written and said. All in the wiki and in orb3000's sticky :) In my opinion :D

But.. i hope i'm wrong. I hope your thread becomes the real thing that we need,so good luck
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] sakej:
PalDragan - you may be right with this one, or partial right, but theres something in it for sure ;)

I agree with this that direct links is not a great idea and current system is better for ROMs.

About a thread getting bigger and bigger with time, true thats why I've choose to include only 10 apps in one replay so with search peolpe should get better results (if you know what i mean).

About some apps NOT being tested... since there are lots of different roms available its imposible for anyone to test a full compatibility for a device.

Maybe wiki is a better way to do it maybe you have a right, lets other ppl comment on this :)

Anyway since Xda Apps was started 10 ppl allready find something there for them self and its on like for 3 hours ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] -Jonny-:
In the wiki here, the programs are put into some thematic order. It's easier to find what you want. Also, they are all recommended from people who have run them on their Universal (with notes if ROM specific). I like the idea of a screen shot, though.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] enigma1nz:
My apologies, but XDA Apps thread seems to be a semi-useful collection of bits and pieces posted on various freebie sites for the past 5 years or so and serving nothing but the OP's inflated sense of self-importance. Not sure what makes it important enough for everyone here to pay attention or make it sticky, as OP hopes. Someone is power tripping, methinks...

[General Questions and Answers] researchermd:
I have damage to the "mini" USB port on my tilt2. It occured back in October as someone tried to pull it off the USB cord in an attempt to steal it. The phone worked fine and I could charge and sync but all the audio and video pins were pulled out. I decided to not mess with it until now, since the charging is now intermintent and I had to postition the phone, yesterday it stopped charging and I saw the little pin fall out from the USB plug. I found a local place (Houston, TX) called Fullbars http://www.fullbarscellrepair.com/Repairs.html which is a franchise with stores in NM, and Ca. The guy said he could repair it but he had to order the part. He wanted me to sign a waiver, in essence he said that in order to remove the previous USB port he will have to heat up the motherboard and did not want to be responsible for any damage from the heat he applies. He said this is a standard waiver he uses for all similar repairs. I did not sign it and said that I will think about it if he is willing to order the part, which he will do and he would be able to get it in 2-3 days. Does anyone know if this is a standard procedure to remove the mini USB port on these phones? I know that repairs are operator dependant, but has anyone had experience with these stores? What would you suggest?

I called HTC and they want to have the phone mailed somewhere and they would keep it for 2-6 weeks. Any advice would be appreciated.

Have upgraded to stock 1.66 WWE via HSPL (downloaded from HTC UK). Noticed today that when I'm on a call I can't seem to connect to network data (e.g. Opera, weather update). Bluetooth/WiFi appear unaffected. Also, network data works fine when call ended.

This isn't normal is it? Any ideas anyone?

[HD2 General] peacebank:
I think that is normal, mine has always been like that.

edit - just had a quick google, apparantly this is only the case when you are not in a 3G area - if you have a 3G signal then you can do both at the same time.
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
Exactly. It is 100% normal.
[HD2 General] Archer:
As above - totally normal.

The GPRS connection can only be used for 1 thing at a time, so if you're making a call then you can't use the connection for anything that requires a data connection, unless you have an alternate connection available, such as 3G.
[HD2 General] mswebb:
What a dope...

Can't beleive I've had a mobile for all these years without knowing that. Thanks all.

Mark W.:rolleyes:
[HD2 General] lee1980:
:-) e.g.Thats the reason why your "my Phone" sync - if used- is failing everytime you are in a call and its scheduled to sync at the same time during your call....
[HD2 General] alex fung:
Oh, that is exactly the other side of my earlier question, that you will fail to receive calls if you are engaged in a GPRS data connection.

I like to try different roms, but the problem is i always need to insall all my aps en settings. What is THE BEST way to have all my aps i previously had instantly when i install a new rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
make a nandroid backup before you install a new rom, and restore it when you're done. though i had issues with the apps stored in the ext partition of my sdcard. i'd like to see the ext partition being saved and restored with dd, but for now nandroid does it via tar. usually works, but not always, at least for me. had to wipe just yesterday for this exact reason.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave Hagenaars:
I do this, but i actually want to use my aps on multiple roms. A nandroid backup restores the rom completely, thats not what i want.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
You can't! Even if you don't wipe, the APN list is going to be part of the ROM, so will replace any APN list you may have had on your device beforehand.

The best you can probably do is backup your APN list via an application like this, and then install the application again after you've installed a new ROM (assuming you've wiped) to restore the APN list back again.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave Hagenaars:
apn list is not a thing i care about, i know the settings. It's a lot less work than reinstalling 30 aps
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
if you are using apps2sd then don't backup/restore the ext partition. apps will be kept this way, but not the market db. so if you install an app through the market in the first rom it will be installed in the other rom, but not in the other market.

i don't think there is a way to share the settings. you could theoretically move /data to the ext partition aswell, but it will break at least if you switch between 1.5 and 2.1 roms...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Sorry - when you said "aps en settings" I presumed you meant your APNs rather than your applications.

Titanium Backup is what you need.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
AppManager works well too, although it wont back up protected apps. I just redownload them from Market instead.

Then I use AppsInstaller to reinstall everything. Can be time consuming with 90+ apps but it's better than having to download them all again.

I haven't wiped since I got Titanium so that might work better.

Also, if you look in the Themes and Software section I think there's a PC program that will let you back-up and restore your apps.

Hello,

I've a problem with installing the HSPL.

I execute the HSPL program and I'm just waiting and waiting and waiting.

After minute or two I've got a message with timeout error (0x10001).

I think there is something not right with ActiveSync. My phone doesn't establish it. What to do to made it to do so?

Greats.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] y0yster:
Problem solved.

Now I know what was and still is the problem. Also it was problem of synchronising and uploading a brand new rom and of course the HSPL.

It's the cable - micro usb cable. It can be also s socket inside of my phone but I would rather not.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Fana7ic:
I had the same problem and totally didnt know what to do when I tried to flash my HD2 for the first time.

What I didnt know was that the bootloader actually needs its own usb driver.

When I realized what had caused the problem I was like doh´ but still happy it finally worked :D

So I just let my HD2 sit there in bootloader mode connected to my Pc and after a minute or so Windows 7 installed the drivers.

I dont know though if its going to be that easy on vista/xp
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
I get this behavour if i try to instal HSPL with the USB cable plugged into a USB socket on a card reader in the case of my PC,, it hangs for maybe 45 seconds then gives the timeout error.

When I use a USB slot directly on the motherboard, it installs with barely a pause.

STrangely, it is only HSPL that does this, I can flash roms using the card reader USB slot, no problem.

Hey guys.

I've been looking for days now on the internet to find the app i'm looking but no luck.

I want an app that will display a nice watch and maybe some notifications, but not necessarily. I want this to be used while my phone is sitting in my desktop cradle. I don't want an alarm program and i don't want a lock screen.

When i owned a Samsung Omnia there was an app called Digital Frame that had exactly that. It would slide show some pictures and on top of them there was the clock. Unfortunately that app is wqvga and it doesn't work on the HD2.

So, do you guys know of such an app?
