sorry looked through the whole thread but couldnt find it :)
[HD2 Accessories] spoogedemon:
i´ve installed the fullbody kit today, and this was very easy.

there is no air bubble or something like this.

the handling of the hd2 is amazing now, because of the better grip.

so a clearly recommendation!
[HD2 Accessories] samsamuel:
i've had the full body kit on for about 9 weeks, and am very happy with it. feels great to the touch, helps with the sensitivity issue, but doesn't make it un sensitive, looks great on the hd2 (take your time fitting, and use plenty of moisture, ) fits like a lovely glove.

screen protector

I've always used sp's. Tried all different kinds. Put phantomskinz on hd, loved it. Then put it on hd2, seemed ok? Decided to try htc sp300. it was ok, until I installed swype. Noticed I had few more errors? My bud, Agoat,said take it off & try , I did, wow! Now I don't even have to hardly get close to letters to type.Still learning, but nice now. Must have transferred pressure or static? I use Imagnum case, so screen is protected in pocket. I think I'm set? lol Quig

don't use invisible shield as it damages the panting on the metal cover when released
[HD2 Accessories] spoogedemon:
you are joking, do you?
[HD2 Accessories] fuzzynavel:
I've had the invisible sheild on for about 6 weeks now and it does seem to offer protection. I do have trouble reading the screen in strong sunlight though..
[HD2 Accessories] samsamuel:
only if you yank off. moisture and patience it comes off.
[HD2 Accessories] ImeXis:
hm? means that if im trying to put the sp (IS) off my metal cover gets damaged? in which way..?

do you have pics of it - how it looks on the back and on the front side with IS?

Phantomskins, not Invisibleshield

Sorry, posted earlier about using invisibleskin, it wasn't, it was phantomskinz, they are great.

Invisible Sheild Turns Brown

I wouldn't put Invisible Sheild on anything it turns brown after a few weeks and makes your device look horrible. Look what it did to my poor Touch Pro. I reccomend a Vikuiti protector and a gel case for a happy HD2.
[HD2 Accessories] Terenc3:
I bought one. Used it for a day. Removed. Once it hit my pocket, the edge of the shield all had fur or my pockets around it. Quite hard to clean it off. Next, I dun quite like the feeling when i grab the phone with the shield on. Lastly, it it not 100% covered. Makes it look like a half pass job to me. Wont recommend this to my friend.
[HD2 Accessories] bilalperwaiz:

[HD2 Accessories] bogdatov:
Beware of FULL body

Not sure about just screen, but I had IS for HTC HD, not HD2. But generally speaking - it is about the same when it comes to IS, right ? :) Now ... I had full-body IS installed by professional in IS kiosk. Yes, they have IS kiosks in malls where they sell IS and also install them. I also tried installing it myself. And I DID take my time installing it and it looked great.

It looked great 1st 3-4 months, but then it started to peel off on corners. Now it looks terrible and I will remove it. I actually tried it 3 times !!! Really !!! Same story. And when you use pouch and frequently take out/insert your phone into it - this IS peels off even faster. Problem is that if some piece starts peeling off ... and you take out and insert your phone in case often ... that peeling becomes worse. Last time I used spare phone to let IS "sit" for a week !!!

Bottomline ... for HD2 I'm NOT planning to buy FULL body. Just IS screen protector - may be. Or some other SP. But not full body. And gel/hard plastic/metal cover. And pouch with clip :)

May be I'm just unlucky. But 3 times ??? I had HD from Nov 2008 and IS gave me nothing but trouble.
[HD2 Accessories] _craven_:
I installed IS for my HD2 since 10 January 2010. I bought the full body from IS website and try to install it myself. For the first time there were a lot of bubbles that couldn't be removed. I thought the bubbles would be fewer if I left it for 1 day, but I was wrong. The bubbles stayed there without any improvement. I peeled it and made the invisible shield very very wet, then paste it on my HD2. I was shocked because the result is very great. No bubbles at all. I just put the screen protector and battery cover protector because I don't like the glossy look on my matte back rubber finish.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] szman22:
I've had this question for a while, and it's really bugging me. It is not a specific Android question, but maybe there is an Android solution.

Is it common for Vogues to only poll/activate the GPS when a "non-service" app is requesting it? In other words, I want the GPS active in the background no matter what else I'm doing on my phone. With my wife's blackberry, the GPS is active all of the time and updating Latitude the entire time the phone is on. Can this be done with Vogue? Right now, my GPS is only active when I run an app that wants to use it explicitly, such as Maps or GPSTest. Is there not an Android service that would run in the background to do this?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
There's nothing I'm aware of that does this (though I'm wrong.. lots.. lol) GPS is a huge battery hog, so that's why it only runs 'on demand'.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] szman22:
Thank you for the reply. I just wanted to make sure it was expected behavior.

I would be OK with the battery drain. I'm kinda surprised there are no android apps/services to do this.....

hmm...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] berardi:
I've always wondered this with regards to Google Search locally oriented searches - how would it determine what's local? It seems to quick for it to be able to get a fix
[Touch CDMA Android Development] szman22:
To be honest with you.....the GPS functionality on the Vogue doesn't make much sense, and it's pretty much useless unless you plan on running maps (or your favorite gps app) in the foreground. As soon as you get a call and app changes to background, you risk losing your GPS lock.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jnadke:
The GPS lock comes back. I've turned off the screen, taken calls, changed apps, and GPS has always worked for me.

I hear all this stuff that GPS doesn't work, and I'd fix it, but I have no debug info! It works for me...

Hi!

i recently bought a Vodafone branded Magic for spare parts

previous owner said it went bizerk after radio update

after turning it on, it vibrates and displays the first boot screen (HTC MAGIC with a black background) and stays like that forever

fastboot doesn't work, hboot: no, recovery: no, even the pc does not recognize it (charges at least)

is there anything i could do to revive it?

or should i rip it open and sell the parts

p.s. i've searched the solution for quite a while now, but all similar threads usually end with the phone being replaced (which is a no-no for me, as it's originally bought from Germany :D)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kerry_xu_cs:
sorry, it's definitely bricked.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] d_ced:
Hi,

I've read bit on the forum. Maybe from the radiobootloader, you can try some reasearch? THere is no clear indication on how to do it but as you're stuck anyway, it's worth trying it.

To enter radiobootloader: push trackball and poweron/end key. YOu should see the blue led.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=533240

Then with a console cable (HTC serial debug cable), you might have access to some console command.... if any.

I performed a SPL flash, the phone rebooted ,it took long time rebooting so i got panicked i pulled out the battery ( wasn't a smart move :D ).

tried to start the phone.. now i was stuck at the first splash screen.

-pulled out the battery and back again start the phone... stuck at the first splash screen or boot looping endlessly,

-did all possible key combinations to get in fastboot, recovery mode... nothing.

-cried for help, got directed to a post similar to mo my case... worked for me hope it dose for everyone else.

here is what i did (followed):

-On the PC, i ran the command 'fastboot boot recoveryimage.img'.

-At this point the command says 'waiting for device' (or something like that).

-I removed the battery.

-I Connected USB.

-I inserted the battery.

-I booted the phone while holding the HOME key.

-The phone still froze at the first splash screen, but then suddenly, the waiting fastboot command detected the phone and booted the recovery image!

flashed again but this time checked step twice before i check it a third time, and flashed the SPL and radio and the rom.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dk75:
Flash Intel BIOS to AMD based motherboard on your PC and the only thing you can do is to exchange BIOS electronic (unless you have dual BIOS mobo).

So, you flashed wrong RADIO to your phone? Open it up and exchange soldered FLASH unit with proper one - good luck.

Or maybe you have HTC hardware flashing tool for flashing FLASH unit without removing it from the mobo of the phone then you can save your unit.

...doesn't it?

I just bought my first Android phone, and I want to root it, but before rooting you need to make a backup, of course.

I downloaded titanium backup and installed it, but it tells me it won't work because my phone is not rooted !

Backing up clearly comes first, so what can I use to do that, OR how can I use Titanium backup (which seems like the best backup app out there) on an unrooted phone?

The sense phone app require the sense framework, thus requiring a sense rom.

Hey guys,

I just got my new HTC Touch HD this morning and am im looking to know how these people are getting the weather on there home screen, could anyone tell me?

Thankyou and i would be much appreciated for a quick resolution.

Ben
[Touch HD General] gnarlytom:
Hello!

The weather on the homescreen is not part of the normal touch HD software.

To get this (and other features) you will need to flash a 'custom ROM'.

these are basically modified versions of the software, with features taken from newer HTC devices (e.g. touch diamond2 and HD2).

Its not difficult, but you will have to read the instructions carefully and take care, as it is possible to brick your device if you don't do it correctly.

Once you have learnt how it is done, you can flash news ROMs quickly and easily.

If you really want to do it, set yourself a couple of hours, and read through all the info in the 'Flashing' part of the wiki here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone

there is additional info here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505377

and ROM's to chose from here:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453

my recommended ROMs are below (see signature)...

you cant get the weather homescreen without using a custom ROM

Try the Topix Windows mobile 6.1 ROM, it will add home screen weather, but does not have many of the other features of the HD2

I use Mobiletag, it does work (I tried it on a book, a box of tissues a can of soup and a dvd) to name a few things... They do seem to be upgrading it too, so time will tell how much better it gets.

But it is freeware and it does work on the HD2

:) hope that helps

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ozkaya:
the problem with mobiletag is that it doesn't have an integrated camera app and it doesn't shoot automatically like Quickmark, so I have problems in getting the barcode recognized. How does it work for you?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Ianhd2:
After the upgrade from version 2 to 3 it works fine

You run the app, then tap anywhere on the screen, it opens very quickly with your own phones camera

Holding your phone in Portrait mode only (it doesnt work landscape) focus the barcode in the centre of the screen so it all but fills the screen left to right, and wait for your phone to focus on it (usually about 2 seconds) in general if it looks clear to you on screen the app recognises it too...

Dont try and take the photo, you dont press anything when its in the camera part, once it sees the barcode thats it

It makes an odd sound and goes back to the reader again and done :)

(an odd point, I cant get it to work when only have a 3g connection, it seems to need a HSDPA connection)

Have another try with it ozkaya :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ozkaya:
you know what?? it just worked!! thanks a lot for your suggestion, I was trying to take the photo myself while in landscape mode, now all is fine :)

btw: it works for me with wifi and landscape as well.

Don't follow the instructions of the old .doc.( this file is obsolete)

Unpack the .cab and transfer it anywhere to you device,

Start the cab file,

Select the drive of your Coreplayer installation,

Fire-up your CorePlayer.

Enjoy.

What's next:

YouTube, if I can find the solution.

Landscape mode update. But no hurry there?

This is part one, so anything is possible.

Black Grease 0.40 first public release

Black Grease 0.42 style update

2. not show the selective boxes

Can you fix these?

My device is Touch Diamond (VGA).
[Windows Mobile Themes] kastel71:
Also in YouTube page not show many things like settings button and fonts in main window

You must be replace the black fonts color to white,

in YouTube logo replace the black fonts (You) to white,

the search frame replace the black to white

and I believe the icons must be more "attractive".
[Windows Mobile Themes] Bardok:
Thanks ebsbow.

Great job!

Maybe its nothing, but the color of the selector should be an other color I think?
[Windows Mobile Themes] The_Steph:
ebsbow,

As said yesterday, after a day of use, first point to say is CorePlayer looks nicer than ever.

Now time for the points to improve from my point of view:

- No timer anymore, I don't know how long the movie I want to see will last.

- As stated by kastel71, it is a bit difficult to choose a video file. That leads to strange behaviour such as viewing a movie you think you do not have selected.

I hope you can fix these things.
