Hi all im new to the site been reading various topics and all seems very technical. Have understood bits used to flash phones back in the old Nokia 3310 days, but lost track of the phone market place for a while. Now so much has changed!!

Anyway Ive got an upgrade due next weekend and have been tossing up between the Iphone and the HD2. Love the look and hardware of the HD2 its just the WM that im slightly concerned about. Anyone able to convince me the HD2 is the way to go ;)

Heard rumours of WM7 coming some say the HD2 will get the update some say it wont, Can anyone confirm?

Also are there any tutorials for dummies on flashing Roms??

Sorry for the Noob questions, hope ive posted in the right section.

Welcome and enjoy your stay!

You'll find one advantage in the WM platform is the helpfulness found in communities such as this one. If you enjoy playing with and customizing your phones to suit your exact tastes you are in the right place :)

Thanks for the welcome guys, been reading though and there are some very helpful and extremely clever folk on here!!! Think Ive been convinced that HD2 with Roms from here is a winner! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] wpbcubsfan:
Unfortunately, no protected apps show up on the new MyTouch with the 3.5mm jack or on the Fender LE. Apps that I PAID for on my G1, aren't available to me on my new MT3G. T-mobile hasn't been any help, nor has Google. I'm rooted and I guess I could switch to a ported ROM that doesn't fully work but I'm quite happy with a rooted stock ROM, I just want to be able to access protected apps in the Market. I've tried using different build.props but haven't had any luck. Anyone have any ideas?

Guys - I just installed a new app, and soft rest my phone after, but now it will not accept my phone unlock password. It just says 'incorrect password', then after a while asks me to type 'a1b2c3' but then just asks for password again, which fails again.

Any idea how I get passed this?

[HD2 General] eshd:
Hello,

I had to do a HardReset.

After that, I can not delete/copy a file from/to the StorageCard.

It looks as if the card ist read/write-protected.

But where can I change this?

I can start a own program from the card,

and this program can write to the card.

But I can not start a cab-file from the card.

After the HardReset I did a backup with sk-tools,

everything looks fine and I can use the installed programs.

Thanks for help

i have my 8gb and a 2gb (came with the phone)

after a hard reset i can nly access the 8gb via activesync which is very slow, if plugged into the computer with the adaptor it is recognised, but cant be opened, deleted, formatted etc

this is not the case with the 2gb memory stick?

any ideas? i cant even format it!

[Android Software Development] rogershroed1991:
When it syncs your phone's contacts with your gmail contacts, which way does it replace? For example if you have the same contact in your phone and gmail but a different phone number for each, which one will it keep? And if you delete contacts from one but not the other, will it delete them on the other or will it sync them right back as if you never deleted them?
[Android Software Development] torrentss:
Seems to be quite random, actually.

I had a problem when I disabled sync on my G1 for two weeks, and when I enabled it, all the contacts I added to it during that time got erased.

So, be careful and back up your contacts often (from the google.com/contacts interface).
[Android Software Development] ady:
Supposedly, it merges the contacts. So if you have a new number for a contact on phone, it should update the gmail contact, and vice versa. and since it supports multiple mobile numbers (almost infinite numbers of each kind), there shouldn't be any deletion involved.
[Android Software Development] rogershroed1991:
So what if someone steals my phone and erases all my contacts, will it see that I've erased them on the phone and in turn erase them from my gmail contacts too? Or will it keep syncing them back onto the phone?

Usually I update/erase phone numbers on the phone itself, whereas I update email address through gmail when I'm checking my email (although sometimes I add them through the phonebook in the phone). I'm curious how the sync application "knows" which one is newer (ie. what happened most recently) - maybe it attaches a hidden timestamp to every piece of a contact?

So when 2.1 gets here other then giving all the people who have been crying for the past 4 months a reason to stop. What will happen?

1)Will I have to reinstall all the apps I have now? (I think the answer is yes but dont like the sounds of that :) )

2)Will it be hard for all the ROMs out there now to be updated?

3)Guessing question one is a yes, Would it be a good idea to clean out your SD card? (A lot of programs make folders on there and sometimes they never go away)

4)Will everyone start crying about how they now want Android 2.5 on the Hero?

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatonka_hero:
use a program to back your apps up, like titanium backup or astro. That way when the update does come, you'll have the unpaid apps backed up (the paid ones are backed up to your google account)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkshneider:
1. Start fresh.

2. No, look at what all the devs have done without an official build.

3. Backup your pictures, videos and other important stuff then refer to 1.

4. I know theres people already asking for 3.0...

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatonka_hero:
if you're rooted, and running custom ROM's now, then don't bother un-rooting to get the update. Just wait, a day max, and there'll be a few custom 2.1 ROM's based off the official update.

It's not worth the risk of losing your ability to root to get the update
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkshneider:
Id say hours before a dev makes an official custom ROM.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bray424:
If it took less than 24 hours to get the Eris 2.1 crammed on the Hero I would imagine it would probably be no more than 1/2 an hour before you see an optimized rooted build up here. And with the fact that Sprint will probably roll out 2.1 in small bursts, there's a good chance most rooted users will be able to get it here before they could get it from Sprint anyways.

Then once you're all set and set up things the way you want (or don't), across the top menu bar, below the scrolling pictures, there's a FUN & GAMES category. In that drop-down menu, there's a selection called BORED?; pick that one. It's basically a "hot or not" type deal with the ability to rate 1 through 10 cherries. Apparently it's an unwritten rule to rate everyone a 10 no matter what they look like, but wait until you see the reaction from people when you rate them exactly what they should be. This, my friends, it's truly entertaining.

And if you thought the above pictures were bad/funny, there's tons of worse ones out there, I just have been blocked by those people so I can't get access to their pictures anymore.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ravichandrabr:
Opera Software announced the update

and release of their Opera Mini 5 browser

(5.0.3521) for Windows Mobile. Previous

versions required the Java Virtual Machine to

run on Windows Mobile, but now it ’s a native

app and can be installed with a simple CAB.

Although XDA hacked together a CAB that

packaged Java and OM5 together in the past,

this version obviously has greater advantages.

Press release excerpt:

By integrating Opera Mini with the Windows

Mobile platform, Opera is able to deliver an

optimized version of the popular Opera Mini

browser that dramatically improves

performance and the overall user experience.

While Opera Mini traditionally requires Java,

the new Windows Mobile version does not,

which means that Opera Mini will work on any

Windows Mobile phone.

I’ve tried it and it's true, performance has been

improved. On previous Java versions, clicking

on links would often require several attempts

as it would either reset the page or force me to

an undesired URL. The bugs rendered it

useless for me, but now it seems to be much

better. Another plus is that we get to use our

preferred software keyboard instead of the

generic, fixed keyboard which was forced upon

us in previous versions. Mini 5 is still fast and

with the boost in performance, this may

become my full time browser until Opera Mobile

10 comes out of beta. The native version is available as a CAB for

Windows Mobile 5 and 6.x devices. Download it

by visiting the Opera Mini page or point your

device to m.opera.com/next using your mobile

web browser. Let us know in the comments if

you notice a difference too.

(via: the unwired via Opera)

BTW, the screen of N1 is exactly the same as in the Desire.

regarding your concern between HD2 and Desire I think the question is wither you like WinMo or Android, ... I personally would prefer Android as its more stable and does not need alot of tweaking to make it stable (unlike WinMo devices)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Praxisi:
I've been effected by this problem for a while now, it's an issue on stock and cyanogen's rom. So far as I can tell a phantom input is detected at a very specific location on the touch screen provided the primary input is within a specific range along the vertical axis.

I've taken screenshots with the Pointer Location Tool in Dev Tools and wrote a short description of what's going on in each screenshot. This seems to go show up and go away sporadically, seemingly for no reason.

Screenshots here:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1620808/touchscreen_bug.zip

If I rotate the screen once and back, the single input part of the bug goes away, if I use two fingers though as shown in one of the screenshots, the bug is still there. Then after letting the screen sleep for a minute or two, it's completely gone.

Anyone else with this problem?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolittle:
This is a known problem, there are two many threads already stating this

The phone is not yet fully supporting multitouch 100% it only has pinch and zoom, CM has said he found something in the framework that is disabled and should fix this when enabled (but not completly fix all multi touch issues)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Praxisi:
I'm not entirely sure how much of this problem is a multitouch issue. I've noticed in particular that when I touch a specific area of the screen, it registers in that place and in a second place that always has a fixed point along the y axis.

This often makes scrolling a pain as I am only able to flick up in the area above the affected location.

This problem can also make typing a pain when I type on the second from bottom row and instead end up hitting the bottom row.

Hi all,

I've programmed a nifty tool voor auto disabling gprs after a period of time. I couldn't find an app which auto disconnects gprs/umts for WM 6.5 so I made my own. It's still version 0.1 but works wel. .NET CF 3.5 is needed. If something doesn't work please mention it so I can change/repair it. It was tested and developed on a HTC Touch2.

Have fun

I own a Touch 2 and i've installed this app on my sd card (.Net 3.5 it was installed). I've checked the second option (search gprs on start data connection) and set the timer to 60 seconds. After reboot, i started data connection from comm manager, updated weather on homepage but even after 3 minutes, the gprs connection did not stop. :(

No other apps autoconnect this time.

What did i do wrong ? Or can you explain how did you tested it ? (I'm sure it works on your device :) )
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Winmohtc6:
Hmmm strange. I've tested it with autoconnecting gprs and not with manual connection via comm manager but that may not be a problem (in my opinion). I'm working on version 0.2 at the moment. It includes the option that the time stamp you save will be shown in the combolist after restart and it includes soft reset of the smartphone for applying settings. I'm working on it :rolleyes:

Tested few minutes ago with gprs autoconnection.

Steps: reconfigure app, soft-restart phone, manual e-mail check for starting gprs. Connection is still alive and i didn't touch the phone 3 min till the screen turned off.
