I think it only goes on your credit score after a month so he should be all right. Still a bit weird though :D
[HD2 General] donwhann:
in all honesty, i couldnt be arsed.....just pay by direct debit and be done with it.
[HD2 General] MalekoUK:
DD ftw.

However, I guess its useful incase one month you rack up an huge bill?
[HD2 General] Starfury:
It'll be marked as a late payment because a monthly contract is in effect a credit agreement.

I think the credit score will be marked with a 1.
[HD2 General] cd78:
This is a big no-no imo. Will kill your credit rating big time.:eek:

You will struggle to get credit (mortgage, credit cards, etc)
[HD2 General] Richy99:
they actually take the money 2 weeks AFTER issuing the bill, well they do for online accounts, not sure about paper/shop billing
[HD2 General] Isadora:
You *might* want to check your credit file, if it does get recorded as a late payment every month :eek: you're really going to struggle to get any form of credit in the future.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
O2 have gone for pretty much all online billing now, so its the same almost all across the board.
[HD2 General] Schooleydoo:
Agree. Would definitely take out a free trial with Experian, just for peace of mind.

My worry would be that when your contract ends, O2 are definitely not going to offer you any kind of deal to stay with them. They will be looking to cut any "problem" customers loose.

Which means you go looking at the other networks, who after looking at your credit profile see that when it comes to mobile bills, you are a liability.

Its a shame we all have to conform to survive these days, as in theory I can totally understand your reasoning. Why should these companies sit on our money and get our interest when it doesn't belong to them until the payment date.

Oh, and here is a pointless jpg to get your blood pressure up ;) :D
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
hah, to use an americanism.... "lol @ all y' all"

I've been doing it that way for 9 years with o2 (and my utilities) and my bank account has been in the black maybe 5 times since since I started university in 1995.

in that time I've had 2 credit cards and two personal loans, and three years ago I got a mortgage.

the mythical credit score? load of rubbish.they're only interested in money that never gets paid back our had to go through the courts to collect.

edit - oh and o2 have always been great, thus why I've stayed with them so long.
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
It's not as I got refused a CC recently, even though I already have one and wanted to transfer the balance over...it's luck of the draw tbh
[HD2 General] m0j0j0j0123:
Most bizarre thing I have read on here, I couldnt be a55ed with the hassle, just stick it on a DD :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] Isadora:
Glad it's worked for you so far, however that was then and this is now... things have changed and credit is not dished out as liberally as it once was. As for your bank account, I hope you are aware that banks can recall your overdraft whenever they want?

I'm all in favour of stretching things and make as much "free" money as I can get (cashback sites, cashback credit cards and in the good old days of 0% with no transfer fees, credit tarting to the extreme with £30k + of interest-free money sitting pretty in a savings account :p) but I would never do so to the detriment of my credit file (the score itself is meaningless, it's what's on the report and how an institution decide to interpret it that matters).
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
very kind of you to let o2 have 5 months or so worth of your interest per year. (billing date 18th, dd collection date approx 5th, doesn't actually become a late payment till the 20th, so every month they get to hold your money for about 2 and a bit weeks that it could be in your account.)

of course this IS a forum for possibly the worlds most expensive phone, I shouldn't be surprised there are lots of people here who don't need to make the pennies count!
[HD2 General] ianjd:
What does that amount to, 50p a year?
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
:confused: very helpful member, but i don't get it... how much does the interest amount to? have you done the math?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] muppetman462:
Greetings all,

Being the geek that I am, I was watching Heroes the other night, and saw an episode where one of the charactors was using a Sprint HTC Hero, and to unlock the screen, they slide the lock screen up. Is this possible? How would one go about doing this? I am rather new to the Android scene, and even newer to the XDA boards, but I am fair to average with Ubuntu and the command line.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tmuka:
Haha, I saw that episode of Heroes too, that was definitely not android running on that phone. I lol'd when i saw it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] muppetman462:
Blah.....ok, never mind....
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thedudejdog:
why slide at all? menu menu unlock all the way
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dcdave63:
See that I wish I could turn off...that Menu Menu to unlock. I don't want to use a pattern lock, and without one, I end up pocket dialing because that Menu Menu is so easy to accidentally do.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] muppetman462:
You could always do the unlock pattern to stop the pocket dialing. I just wanted to get something completely different to show the people that have an iphone at work what I can do. They are already mad I can do the Wi Fi tethering (god that is awesome).....
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] justinisyoung:
i bet if you edited some files in the htclockscreen.apk (not sure if the upper/lower cases are right on that) you could get it to slide up. could be hard though..
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] theraginasian:
LOL, Make a wallpaper upside-down!
[Nexus One General] mushroom1:
For a dedicated GPS unit, whether you have a destination set or not, you can always see a 3D view of your current position. It doesn't seem to be the case for Nexus One. You can only see 3D view under Google Navigation when you are in navigation mode.

Is there anyway to trick Nexus One to run Google Navigation even though you don't have specific destination set?

Maps is also pretty nice, but it's always north-up so it's confusing sometime.
[Nexus One General] waffle2:
I wanted to see this too, so I made a feature request ticket: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6839

Please star this issue if you want to see it implemented!
[Nexus One General] mushroom1:
Done. Thanks for creating it
[Nexus One General] waffle2:
Oops, I searched and found out my ticket was a duplicate.

Here's the original: http://code.google.com/p/android/is...on&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
[Nexus One General] 3Shirts:
I think the problem is the lack of pre-loaded maps. Since it doesn't have the maps on SD card it downloads your route when you set it. They are probably trying to avoid the need for a constant and reasonably good data connection which would come with downloading map data on the fly.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
It occured to me today that on my old (and beloved) XDA IIi if i didn't fill in a description when setting an alarm, it sometimes caused problems. So i thought i wonder how it works on the hd2

So i've been running an experiment for the past half hour.

1 - set an alarm using wm clocks and alarms,

2 - set another alarm using the sense alarm screen.

Result.

The wm alarm activates and plays the selected tone

The sense alarm activates but DOESNT make any noise, only the popup and the flashing LED.

I'll be setting all my alarms through the wm clocks and alarms screen from now on!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Update. I confirmed the above 4 times, with the same result, however as soon as i turned on the 'enable dismiss x time in notifications' tweak in bsbtweaks, both alarms now sound the alarm tone.

Curiouser and curiouser.

Create a directory quake3 in the root of your sdcard and also create a baseq3 directory inside it.

Copy pak0.pk3 of your Quake3 CD (or from the demo) to the quake3/baseq3 directory

Realistically those are probably wants making this not work out for me haha someone care to explain?
[G1 Apps and Games] area5x1:
You can get those files if you installed the demo or the full game on your PC.

Works good for me. Sometimes laggy when starting up or looking around fast, due to the lack of RAM, but otherwise once things get going, its very playable. Maybe I"ll post a vid tomorrow.
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
Heh, well how about just doing exactly what it says? You can't say it any simpler than that!

Lol actually I have been using Android Mate for a home replacement, and I installed it through that HR, and when I went to hit open/finalize the install it forced closed on me twice so I was thinking I did something wrong.

Installation

Download the kwaak3.apk from the download section and install it on your phone. (Note you need at least Android 1.6)

Create a directory quake3 in the root of your sdcard and also create a baseq3 directory inside it.

Copy pak0.pk3 of your Quake3 CD (or from the demo) to the quake3/baseq3 directory.

Download the Quake3 1.32 point release and copy pak1-pak8.pk3 to quake3/baseq3

Start the game :)

[G1 Apps and Games] gabibyte:
Same thing here on Samsung Galaxy S!

We'll have to wait for the developer to do something about it, he's worked alot probably so we have to be patient. I have addressed the issue on his website.
[G1 Apps and Games] Endombed:
It runs smooth on my galaxy s! i think you may have put the files on a external sd card? i tried that to and it didnt work.. You see the galaxy gives the ex.sd card a prefix like "card/sdcard/" so you cant actually put anything on the external sdcard's root.. Im not sure but i think thats the case here.. I think that it will be fixed with 2.2 (froyo).. Anyways move the files to the internal sd card root and it should work for ya! gl. M8 and congratz to a awesome phone!!! Piz ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] gabibyte:
To fix the "returing to homescreen" problem:

-use the original quake3 pk3 files not expansion

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Morbyd:
Hi folks

I've searched around the forums and have seen a couple of solutions out there for automatically terminating data connections (Bandswitch, WMLongLife, the registry tweak) but each seems to lack some of what I need and do a lot that I don't need.

Here's the lowdown:

- I've already tweaked the Comm Manager to add the 3G on/off switch so I don't need something that messes with that

- I use push email for business so I need the data connection to stay on during the "peak times" that I've set in Activesync (for me, that's 8am-11pm)

- Outside of peak times, I've got the phone checking email every hour. Right now, it seems to be leaving the connection on afterward.

- I want to keep the automatic updates for HTC Sense's weather and stock tabs. Not every 5 minutes, of course, but at least a couple of times a day. Also tends to leave the connection going when used outside peak hours.

As I understand it, the registry tweak won't work for the Sense tabs. Bandswitch and WMLongLife mess with the 3G radio and, as far as I can tell, don't let you set a timeframe (re: the latter - I suppose when you've got push mail going it pings the Exchange server regularly so in theory it shouldn't consider the connection idle, but why mess with it?)

So, in short, anyone got a solution that could switch off an idle data connection outside of the peak times set in Activesync?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
If you just want to kill connections during certain times (ie, night time) try G-Profile. I have it set to kill data connections during the night, works fine for me although I am using a new beta version which is available from their site.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Morbyd:
Looks interesting but reading through the manual it looks as if you can only set a profile to disable the data connection during certain hours. I'd like to leave the data available, just switch on auto-disconnect.

Plus, again, there's a lot of extra stuff in there that's really not necessary. I'm looking for something more lightweight...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] warnold007:
I haven't tried it, but you might want to take a look at CommMgrPro.

It's also from the creator of Bandswitch.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] UncleBeer:
PhoneAlarm can do this.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Morbyd:
I had PhoneAlarm installed on my previous phone. True, it can do this.

But again, it's like using a tank to kill a fly. Sam with CommMgrPro.

Is there no lightweight solution?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] DexyG:
+1 for this. It has to be possible, everyone just seems to lump the functionality in with a load of other stuff I'm not interested in.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zlead:
Up, I'm looking for this also :mad:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] arturobandini:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Morbyd:
SO.... last night I left my charging cable at the office and I only had around 20% of the battery left at 11:00pm. For some reason, the thing kept opening the data channel even though it was outside of "peak" hours for push! I had to reset and turn manually turn off all data... couldn't have the phone die overnight as it's my alarm clock!

Any ideas here?

They don't have a demo/lite version so I wanted to make sure before I buy it that it's actually good and it'll work on the Hero.

Hello list,

I have only been on this forum for a couple of days now but I have read a lot so I'm becoming educated very quickly. I cant however, get the voicemail to work on my Telstra HD2. Other members report that their phones work flawlessly on AT&T 3G but I have not seen anyone post what "actual" settings they are using. For example, on the phone tab if you click menu/options/voicemail and text message, there are two boxes that should have numbers in there. Both numbers listed on my phone are international numbers. I have flashed my phone with WWE 1.66 and when I installed my AT&T sim card the phone recognized it. I still cant check my voicemail though because the international numbers are still there. Also, I can send SMS but not MMS.

(I live in Orlando, Fl and the entire area runs on the 850 frequency.)

Please post what settings are working best for you.
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
You can put your own phone number for voicemail and it should work fine...
