[HD2 General] CB620:
I Dont Know What Path To Go Down. Both Of These are Powerhouses And Can Hold Their Own Weight. Im Looking For A Real Reliable Phone That Will Stop Me From Constantly Upgrading Or Trading. Can Someone Help Me? Thanks. All Opinions Are Welcome.:confused::confused:
[HD2 General] world705:
both about the same its down to personal preference
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
I have a HD2 as my personal phone and a Bold 9000 as a work phone.

I must admit, I'm not personally a fan of the Bold, the OS seems to have been designed to mimic the iPhone's layout, but without the touch screen, its a bit of a chore navigating.

The Bold's battery life isn't anywhere near the previous BB I had, and I'm lucky to get a few days out of it (it sits in my office, just doing push-email in sleep mode, not used otherwise as its not got the same 'fluid feel' to it as the HD2), the HD2 gets hammered each and every day and I get a good 1.5 - 2 days out of it.

But, as World705 said, its pretty much down to personal preference from there.
[HD2 General] CB620:
So You Find Your HD2 More Reliable Than The 9700?
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Reliable in terms of switching on, or making calls/messaging/general operation?

Both work fine to be honest, I just prefer the HD2 as I find the navigation on BBs a bit of a chore.
[HD2 General] wotsreallygood:
The only thing that could be improved is the battery life on the HD2.

I've got a curve 8900 and a HD2.

I like the push messages from the BB. But I like the HD2 as an everyday use phone its so much better and much more smooth to use.

The BB OS is out dated, even the latest os5 is kinda boring, it does the trick but still. The app store on BB is slow and apps are expensive.

The HD2 is still awesome in my book, I just wish it had a better battery and push services (apart from just windows live email).

I love this community though, you can find alot of useful info and apps on this forum.
[HD2 General] CB620:
As In A Everyday Phone? Email, Online, Battery Life? Battery Life Is My Main Thing. I Find That WM Battery Life Isnt Good. I Have The TP2 Now. I Constantly Charge As Where When I Had Blackberry I Charged Every 2 Days.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
As I said, my BB barely lasts a few days and thats literally just sat on my desk with push mail. Not used.

The HD2 lasts a good 1.5 to 2 days without charge (the first couple of weeks my HD2 would last about a day, then performance improved to almost double) and I pretty much use it constantly for texting, email (3 x pop3 accounts checked every 15 mins) and online browsing.
[HD2 General] eshd:
And a good stylos.

Hope HTC can/will read this.

[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Its been designed to be used with a finger. Why do you want a stylus?
[HD2 General] Archer:
What's With The Capitalisation Of Every Word? Lol

I'd say the main thing you've got to consider is the keyboard. I think it's a fair comment that a BB user trying to transition to a HD2 will struggle at first. Hell, I struggled coming from a Touch HD, but I got used to it and it was worth it. I now prefer the on-screen keyboard over a hardware one. But that's just me.
[HD2 General] eshd:
For drawings, small icons and list-boxes,

for selecting exakt coordinates on a map, ... ,

and for using internet pages.

eshd
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
I had the same coming from the X1, but to be honest, I won't be looking back.
[HD2 General] CB620:
Its A Habit. Lol. But I Have The Universal And The Touch Pro 2 Now. Im Selling Both And I Am Just Stuck With The 9700 Or H2 Decision Wise. I Like The HD2 But I Find Myself Always Wanting To Go Back To A Blackberry.
[HD2 General] eshd:
For drawings, small icons and list-boxes.

For picking up exakt screen-coordinates (for maps etc.)

And at least for choosing a correct internet page.

Very often I get the wrong page.

eshd
[HD2 General] hector_huerta:
Yup I prefer HD2, the battery is my main concern with this phone but it last me for 1 day or almost 2 days if it has little use.

But the on-screen keyboard + something like Swype (it's great for me), you will never like hardware keyboards, imo.
[HD2 General] CB620:
I Use Swype On My TP2 And Im Not Really A Fan Of It. I Guess It Will Make More Of a Difference On A Wider Screen.
[HD2 General] XDA mark:
To be honest? My last phone was a Bold 9000 (still have it, running OS 5.0.0.411) and compared to a HTC HD2... not to compare. Here are some things that might help you.

Browser:

The HTC HD2 BLOWS AWAY the Bold 9000 (so probably the 9700 as well, not much difference). Seriously, I did a few 'test' on my own on the same network and... wel, the Bold takes about 4 to 5 times as long to load. And then it looks like crap as wel. This on the stock BB browser. But still, even if you use Opera, there is no beating the HD2.

Media:

First the good things. The Bold has much better Speakers. So playing music out load will be MUCH better on the Bold. Also, HTC Sense looks better, but the Media in general is much simpler and faster to access on the Bold. BUT, everything looks much better on the 4.3 inch screen, off course :) Further, the HD2 YouTube app is great. The Bold does not really have an app for YouTube.. :confused: Moving on.

Overall OS performance:

Things load up instant on the Bold (but you know that, BB OS is fast). But there is NO EYECANDY in the OS. So if you really go for function, that the Bold probably beats the HD2 by a little. But the HD2 also offers great eyecandy. But really, the Bold is very very stable.

Battery Life: About the same, all though I do much more with my HD2. So the HD2 is the winner, I think.

But really this choice is simple... Are you a serious person looking for a stable but performing phone? No YouTube and all that crap? Or are you the kind of person that likes eyecandy, YouTube in general etc..

Just answer yourself the question if you want YouTube on your phone. Yes = HD2, no = Bold 9700.

The hard keyboard is awesome though, so that is another plus for the Bold IF you wright a lot of messages.

Good luck.

Btw, I myself regret that I ever bought an BlackBerry. Way to boring OS for me. The only good things were BlackBerry Messenger and learning about BlackBerry in General, which will prevent me from buying another one in the future. Amazing devices, but just no fun. No apps (at least in the time I used it, App World was not available in many countries).. No good browser. This really is a messaging device.
[HD2 General] wotsreallygood:
Yeah I agree with XDA mark.

I think the phones both have their uses and it really depends what you need it for.

I had the BB first, I love the messaging on it but the browser was so crap and I like browsing and reading stuff on the web plus I couldnt view PDF files very well.

The HD2 is okay for messaging, it really only lacks push services for me just because of MSN and facebook but other than that it works okay for most people.

The battery life on the HD2 is rubbish. XDA mark is the first person that says its good. The blackberry for me lasts like 2 or 3 days with alot of usage.

I barely get through the day with my HD2. Its that great big screen.

Im going to buy a power monkey charger thing so that should sort that out.

Oh yeah if you want you could get both, as orange do a bb bolton for pay as you go. £5 I believe that's what Im going to do. Going to be annoying two phones though.

You got to really look at what you want to use the phone for really, you will get bored of the BB os really quickly which is what I found.

There is no matches in android markets for the search: pname.com.google.android.apps.gesturesearch :confused:

I do not think this is a payed applications or am I wrong :eek:

I'm in Ireland and I found it in the Marketplace. I installed it but the only app I can see the little hand in to actually use it is Dolphin Browser. Are other people able to use it in all apps?

Er, no. I got it fine in the UK.

Try the barcode method: http://gesturesearch.googlelabs.com/download.html

it can be found if you use market enabler and tweak to t-mobile US

but it doesn't show up if you search for "Google" or "Google Gesture"

you simply have to search for "Gesture Search"

since i started using winmo devices several years ago ive always had a big problem syncing my music via wmplayer on my pc to my device.at best its a long,laborious and tedious process until now.

ive been trying out several apps to play music on my samsung b7610 and came across pocket tunes.i downloaded the trial w/c comes with an itunes sync module for pc(it installs to your desktop) and an app w/c installs via activesyc onto the winmo phone.i tried out the itunes sync to transfer music and playlists to the b7610 and it was a straightforward process not unlike syncing your ipod to itunes(very easy).i tried the pocket tunes app on my pocket pc and true enough my music was there,all organized into playlists like in itunes and ready to go.i put on my earphones(a pair of klipsch in ear monitors) played a few songs and found pocket tunes very unsatisfying so i uninstalled it.

next up on my try out list was an app called kinoma play,so i installed it,updated its library and after it did its updating,lo and behold,my music was still there,complete with playlists and album art.curious i opened up my touch media player(built in player by samsung)updated and again my music was there.tried the same thing on wmp mobile and wasnt dissapointed.the music was still there.

i tried playing around with the sync module,taking out playlists,adding songs to itunes etc... and it still synced.

finally i have solved a problem ive had all these years trying to sync itunes with my winmo device.give it a try.heres a link to pocket tunes trial

Does anyone know if there is any video converter that can convert videos ON a windows mobile device not FOR it. As I sometimes need to convert videos to a differen't format when I'm away from home and this would be the only way for me. There are audio converters so why not video. I don't care how long it takes as long as it's possible!

Thanks for any help!:D

Hi all,

I keep trying to find a very simple program I need.

It simply needs to countdown a set interval and sound an alert, then count down another time and sound an alert. Rise and repeat.

Eg:

Count 10 seconds > Alarm

Count 20 seconds > Alarm

Count 10 seconds > Alarm

Count 20 seconds > Alarm

Does anyone know of anything?

I am a developer and mobile web site integrator. We have just integrated with doubleclick Ads which give out rich media Ads for intel's latest iCore technology. We have an ad currently running on our test site at cnn.explab.mobi.

This ad runs fine on iPhone but does not seem to run fine on any version of Android's native browsers.

I have not been able to debug what is happening. If any of you have time to debug this or have a way to correct this, it would be great!

Thanks,

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ady:
Both Android and Iphone use the webkit as the web browsing library. Just a guess would be that the difference could be between versions of webkit. However, I fail to see why the ad wouldn't work.

I suggest that you try it in latest andorid SDK emultator.

I recently released Twimager on the android market. It is an application that captures links clicked to popular image hosts like twitpic, flickr, yfrog and img.ly to name a few. It currently supports 9 image hosts, plus direct links to images.

It was intended for use with twitter clients for viewing images that others post, but it will work with any android application that opens links to an external application, like the Browser.

Twimager displays the image in a more mobile device friendly way, and only shows the image, instead of the full website that is not mobile friendly and requires a lot of scrolling to view the image.

Twimager is available on the android market for $0.99 or Twimager Lite is available for Free, but only supports TwitPic.
[Android Apps and Games] jgclifton:
Looks good, does it show image replies beneath?
[Android Apps and Games] jgclifton:
So, I downloaded it in the end and it works well but I think as is, it is a little too basic to be charging for, even if it is only $0.99. If you were able to add nicely formatted replies to the image at the bottom so you can scroll down and see the replies then it would be a much better proposition.
[Android Apps and Games] camalot:
No, it doesn't show any replies, and I have no intention to add them. That goes beyond the scope of the application. It is meant to remove the "clutter" and show only the image. Though I will have the ability to open the original source, so if you want to read the replies and other things on the original site you still will be able to do so.

I have added the ability to zoom, so you can see the image in its original size, and I am working on saving the images, also I am always looking for additional hosts to support. chzb.gr links were just added last night.
[Android Apps and Games] benko286:
Support for Imageshack, Imagesforme, TinyPic and Imagesforme?
[Android Apps and Games] camalot:
TinyPic is already supported, and I will look at adding support for the others too.
[Android Apps and Games] jgclifton:
Hmm, the lack of comments is the only really offputting thing about it. I know you say it is beyond the scope but I would think you'd sell a lot more if it could fully replace the image hosting site, and the only way to do that is by offering the same experience of picture and comments.

I called o2 weeks ago about it and they just suggested i try a new sim, which they promptly sent me but it has made absolutely no difference. Is this a phone problem or a network problem?

this is a widespread problem with htc's , if u google , late sms, you wil find, people on all networks are having this problem

i have contacted them and they say it could be the phone
[HD2 General] Brainscanner:
Hi everybody,

I'm still experiencing this problem. That happened after the last ROM upgrade (see attached screenshot for current versions).

The message arrived a couple of hours later. Not it's about 24 hours or I don't receive the messages at all.

This might be a coincidence, but I often was browsing with Opera when the messages finally showed up.

I'm using Zenyee disable htc messaging 1.2 as I'm syncing with an Exchange 2010.

It's definitely not the provider, but the phone. I've put my simcard in a standard cell phone where the messages arrived in an instant.

Anybody got an idea?
[HD2 General] AngelDeath:
It not the network, its a file in HTC phones. I havent been able to figure out what was causing it until now. I am 90% sure I know the culprit, but I am not 100% sure. I am on a TP2 and I just ran across this problem today after I installed a cooked rom I made, before everything was fine. I am in the process of testing this theory out. I should have a better idea by either days end, or at latest by tomorrow. I am testing 3 packages out at the moment to see if my theory is correct.

Will keep you posted.
[HD2 General] marshhd:
I have the same problem too or sometimes I only get the text if I unlock the phone then I get 3 texts at once also sending text if it has more then 160 but less than 180 (i think ) then ppl don't seem to get my text weird no lol
[HD2 General] abmantis:
I've had this problem in my HTC Trinity...

Fortunately I don't have it in the Leo...
[HD2 General] AngelDeath:
Okay I am now 99% sure whats causing the delay in msgs being recieved. The problem is the Notification_Enhancement package. Based on my testing this is the culprit, currently I am using Notification_Enhancement_3_0_20113730_1 which I have not experienced any delay in sms at all. So the cause is the notification enhancement package is my firm belief.
[HD2 General] Brainscanner:
Hi AngelDeath,

what does that package do (Notification_Enhancement_3_0_20113730_1)?
[HD2 General] AngelDeath:
Basically it notifies you of missed calls, emails, reminders, SMS, MMS, recieved or sent. Alarams, etc. I'll see about making it a cab, just want to test it a little longer before I put my foot in my mouth :) but so far no problems yet.
[HD2 General] abmantis:
If you're right, it is a nice discovery...

But what is the problem? The application enters standby and then does not wake up automatically?
[HD2 General] AngelDeath:
In short when a SMS primarily comes in, the phone normally will chime and let you know that a txt msg arrived. Lately most roms have been having issues, whether they are flashed or stock, that they dont chime until you hit the power button and wake it the phone up and then all of them come in at once. While some have used the registry edit to wake the screen up when a msg comes thru, most dont like this and would rather it chime with the screen off, This problem also occurs on the TP2 roms, but the last stock EU rom fixed it. So I am going to be testing this out for another whole day and if all goes well I'll cab it up and people can add it to their phones and be done with this stupid notification problem.
[HD2 General] Brainscanner:
Hi Angel,

but would that solve my problem? In my case I had often been using the device for hours in non-standby-mode when sms haven't arrived...

As a preliminary measure I've uninstalled Zenyee disable htc messaging and voila: I get my messages at once. I'll certainly prefer this over getting my messages 24 hours later (what usually renders them useless socially) or not getting them at all. But what's an Exchange 2010 good for if you can't use that feature :-) ?

I'm observing your tests closely...
[HD2 General] AngelDeath:
I for one, again state I use a TP2 not an HD2, but at the same time I do use the HTC messaging app, and have not disabled it, I cannot honestly tell you that this will fix your issue, since I do not use the disabling cab. I can tell you that after another full day of testing, txt msgs were not missed. So I am going to do my best to cab this up and post it tomorrow. It MUST be installed into the device. and it will have an uninstall feature if needed to restore it back should any problems arise.

I have to take this short time to acknowledge Senior Member "aruppenthal". Due to his countless msgs back and forth with me so I could cook my own roms have made me be able to find this solution. So in part he also has credit that I feel needs to be acknowledged. Without him I wouldnt have found it quite so easily or possibly at all.

Thank you again aruppenthal! And you have a "Gift" waiting in your PM for your next ROM. I hope it makes you stand out :)
