Comcast hsa an option in their settings to keep mail on server when downloading via POP. have him uncheck that setting in his comcast webmail. This will fix the problem
[HD2 General] rebecker:
Just did a highly convoluted update to CoPilot adding TTS (Text to Speech) ability. Didn't work (of course) :mad:. AFTER the fact, they tell you to install an update of the software, version 8.0.0.620 :confused:. IT WORKED! Why oh why can't they get their act together when it comes to customer service? Why not update the necessary files using the TTS installation??? Or why not just do an update of the software WITH TTS included?? :rolleyes:

Go here to check it out. Make sure you have 8.0.0.620 installed. http://www.alk.com/copilot/copilot8-tts.asp

-Bob-
[HD2 General] rhitey:
Hmm well updated to 8.0.0.620 AND updated CoPilot Central 2.0 and you weren't kidding its a right pain and after all that it seems TTS isn't available in the UK yet. Well not on my HD2 yet anyway and I'm running the official 1.66 WWE ROM at the moment. On the brighter side though Live local search works and so does the Live traffic and the Fuel prices facility is a good idea
[HD2 General] Robrecht:
Silly question, but how did you guys update to 8.0.0.620?

Mine shows version number 8.0.0.457, but when I use the built-in "check for updates" function, it says it's "up to date". Also, in the online FAQ it says you probably shouldn't install the normal CoPilot on an HD2, since it requires a specially modified version for some features to work (ok, who needs Footprints, but still)...

God, I wish ALK would fix their stuff. The bloody navigation software itself is ok, but everything surrounding it is sheer torture.
[HD2 General] rebecker:
Here's the link. Download the files directly from http://www.alk.eu.com/files/v8/winmobile/cabs/8.0.0.620-2577-tts.zip. This is the US site.

HOWEVER, I can't say if it'll work perfectly on your HD2. I DID install it. Seems to work. I ran a demo of a route and the TTS function worked well. Haven't tried Footprints since the update and I don't have the Car Kit. I hadn't noticed the warning, so...we'll see what happens. :rolleyes:

ALK truly seems to be dazed and confused most of the time.

-Bob-
[HD2 General] Robrecht:
Hey, thanks!

The FAQ mentions "for example the Footprints application and Car Kit mode". I use neither of those, but that sneaky "for example" could be worrying. The only other device-specific feature I can think of is pinch-to-zoom. Might just try the upgrade and see if it works.
[HD2 General] rebecker:
I'm out of my map coverage area, but did play with CoPilot a bit. I don't see any functional issues with the way I use the software. Pinch-to-Zoom works with 2D views, not with 3D (doing a route demo). I actually don't remember if PTZ worked in 3D before. :confused: Dragging the 3D view works. I'm not at all familiar with PhotoNav, so I can't comment except to say I have a blank screen. Is that supposed to work with coordinates and the camera somehow? EDIT: Looks like PhotoNav works too. But I'm out of a map area so am not totally sure.

I guess what I'm saying is that TTS is worth giving up any gimmicks that the HD2-specific version might have added (which I obviously never used :p). And since I will be out of map range for the next 30 days, someone else is going to have to experiment to see what's missing on the HD2 (or what may have been added??).

I DO wish I could delete the old EXE software from the Windows directory, though.

-Bob-
[HD2 General] rhitey:
Ah yes just checked and the footprints don't work with this version of copilot, but I've installed it on the memory card so I guess that didn't help, don't use em anyway.

Afraid I also don't use the car kit mode either so can't comment on that one.

I've been merrily using the update for a few days now and no problems at all, so I think its worth doing.
[HD2 General] archvile77:
i have downloaded and installed this new version on my hd2. i got 8.0.0.620 confirmed at the info-screen now.

but somehow tts does not work in the demo.

do i need to activate a special voice/language or option? is it to be activated somewhere?

thanks for the help!
[HD2 General] rhitey:
Hi yes I think you do need to select the correct voice if you go in to Language & Voice, then your language you should find a voice with an asterisk. Thats the text to speech one.

Just to clarify I've only read this and haven't tried it myself as I can't get TTS in the UK at the moment:(

See: http://mobile.brando.com/htc-hd2-replacement-touch-screen_p05023c0695d088.html

You can get full replacement touchscreen (not the actual display, which i don't think you need) there. Trustworthy site, if you look around the forum here you'll find some other chinese sites which i don't know.

Nederlands:

Kijk eens op: http://mobile.brando.com/htc-hd2-replacement-touch-screen_p05023c0695d088.html. Daar kun je een volledig nieuw touchscreen kopen (niet het daadwerkelijke scherm, dat heb je volgens mij niet nodig). Is een betrouwbare site, als je op het forum zoekt hier vind je chinese sites, maar die ken ik niet.

Hey all,

I have a rooted MT3G. I want to use Cyanogen's ROM on it, but don't know whether I'm supposed to reroot like the Wiki says. Should I reroot the entire phone, or should I start somewhere in the middle? Let me know! I'm confused!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Onixraul1:
What you mean in re-rooting....

Do already loaded any Rom?

If u did... did u made a backup image?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bunu:
no. don't reroot. just follow the instructions on flashing the rom.
[Desire General] svetius:
Hi Everyone,

I was thinking that given the size of our community, I might be able to negotiate group discounts on new devices (especially pre-orders of upcoming devices). My goal would be to get the cheapest price possible from a reputable online retailer. I know lots of sites all over the web use stores or affiliate links to make a few extra bucks; this would be more about getting the best deal for you... if xda were getting anything out of it, I would make sure that was 100% clear.

Does this interest you guys at all? I have no idea how large of a discount I could get (maybe only 5- 10%), but I wanted to gauge the interest before I tried.

How many of you actually plan on pre-ordering one of the new HTC devices? Which one?

Thx!
[Desire General] pingels:
Well, it depends on if AT&T decides to carry this phone or not. There's no point in ordering it if AT&T will eventually subsidy it for a lower cost. I have two lines that are (both) out of contract-- and I'm looking to make a major upgrade for me & the wife.

So, if AT&T doesn't hook me up, sign me up for two. But, seriously, send me a message if you make any progress.
[Desire General] sinister4g63:
I want this phone extremely bad. I can't make any commitment until I know it will be offered on Tmobile in the US with our goofy bands and whatnot.

here in germany u can preorder it on amazon for 499€...a few days ago it was there for 419....but i saw it too late :(
[Desire General] Coatezy:
I just pre ordered mine from clove.. :)
[Desire General] JTHM:
Ditto! ...ordered mine a week ago. I haven't told the wife yet as I haven't found the right time to break it to her as we're supposed to be clearing our credit cards and paying her parents back this year!

I actually go out of may way to be different and yesterday stumbled across the silver version on PDAshop.nl/.be and Smartphoneshop.nl/.be and took a fancy to it - they're the only places in Europe offering it too. I asked for a quote to ship to the UK and was all set to cancel my order with Clove but they refuse to ship outside the Netherlands or Belgium. Then I realized they are both the same company and their sites are mirrors of each other which instantly raises my suspicions ...why would the same company trade as two different competing entities if they didn't have something to hide I think.
[Desire General] mojavaid36:
Because then one site can claim to be cheaper than the other. Very clever.
[Desire General] djet:
Do they charge you immediately for pre-orders?
[Desire General] Coatezy:
No they take payment when the stock is available.. This happened when I purchased my hd2 and I also emailed Clove to confirm this would be the case with the Desire.
[Desire General] Lysin:
Amazon.co.uk just dropped the price on Desire... 429 £ =)

Just to let people know...
[Desire General] sindrefyrn:
Much cheaper from Amazon.de. :)

[Desire General] saldawop:
Am thinking of ordering one of these phones. Currently own a 3GS on O2.

Can pre order with mobiles.co.uk . Looking at T-Mobs Web 600 tariff at £30 per month.

Can I ask what, if any, limits T-Mob have with regards to data usage.I currently use Slingplayer on my 3GS, along with radio streaming, use Youtube a fair bit.Would I have any problems doing this with T-Mob(I understand they took the YT app off of their HD2s?), assuming of course that Slingplayer gets released for Android?
[Desire General] Coatezy:
When I swapped my 3GS for HD2 I bought the HD2 so I could put my o2 sim straight in it.. Didn't want to loose the o2 data allowance from the iphone contract. And will be doing the same with the Desire.
[Desire General] saldawop:
Yeah, suppose I could do the same.Just get a cheaper tariff .Or else wait and buy a locked one?from O2?

Am currently on the £20 Simplicity for iPhone tariff.I thought they knew if the SIM was being used in a phone other than an iPhone?
[Desire General] Coatezy:
I have been using my o2 sim in my Hd2 since release.. Using my data all the time and I havent had any problems.. Dont see how they can tie you to one phone.. :S At the end of the day they are still getting the money from me arnt they!? :p I even use the sim in an old phone that I have if Im going out etc..

hey i want to ask what's the best site to buy the desire online ???? i live in cyprus though so AMAZON is out of options. i found clove too and fizi has all the released htcs so far but are they trustworthy ??? or i 'll lose my money and stay without a phone too!!!

Pre-Ordered from PLAY.COM

I have pre-ordered my Desire from Play.com, firstly because they are selling for £449 and secondly I have pre-ordered stuff from them in the past and usually receive the item a few days before official release date!

I have never had a problem ordering from them and they are pretty reliable and easy to deal with.

[Desire General] The_Stranger:
But possible. In the Netherlands, there are several shops advertising with a pre-order price of 419-449 euro's, comparable with 380 pounds...
[Desire General] sh500:
No, I'm not doubting their price, the cheaper the better of course!

As the device is [rumoured] to arrive on all of the 5 major providers in the UK, I will be looking at what contract deals are on offer.
[Desire General] nubbin:
I managed to pre-order yesterday, from www.prepaymania.co.uk. £373.81 inc. VAT, and free delivery! Today, they have the price at £439.23.

That's a bargain!

i have even come out of my long-standing O2 contract, onto SIM only, so i can have the freedom to buy this phone and then upgrade when the next generation comes out.
[Desire General] copex:

Clove VAT rate 24.5%!!

What sort of VAT rate are Clove on!!? They are advertising the Desire at "£339 (£421.83 inc. VAT)" ...eh? By my reckoning £339+VAT is

£398.33

!

It's just a typo 'cos it's correct in the checkout but it made me smile.
[Desire General] tickmaster:
They have a mistake on their website. Because Clove just lowered their price.Damn why did not I wait for preorder?

what do you think they will answer me for this email?

I saw on Your website that you lowered price. Should I cancel my order, or You will lower price in my order to check new price?

edit:Vat is 17.5%

finally i got answer: Thank you for your e-mail. The new price will be applied to your existing order. Therefore we recommend NOT cancelling your current order.

UPDATE:::: i just bought a HTC Desire and HTC Legend (i couldn't choose one over the either so the one that loses at the end will be sold :P) the legend was a bit pricy though since i bought the desire for 339GPB and Legend for 329GPB!!

where have you found taht price ? did it include VAT ?

[Desire General] Coatezy:
The possible multi touch bug is really starting to put doubts in my mind with the desire now.. I wish they would hurry up and let some proper hands on reviews be done on the handset like the legend. Although I would only really use the multi touch for simple tasks like browsing etc it is still annoying.. :rolleyes:
[Desire General] redrazr7791:
Good question. Hopefully since it will be released directly from HTC, it will not have the lack of multitouch like the NX-1.
[Desire General] Carlo626:
thanks

thanks for the clarification but from the last few post the price seems to be going down - it's 330 (+VAT) on clove site now - any speculations on why ?

--- in Italy is steady on €500/€505 --

probably the multitouch bug has something to do with it (hence no hands-on review yet) - even if I don't really care much for that function other than for fast typing and it will surelly be fixed in some future software upgrade/cooked rom

about this thread I understood it was for getting togheter and get the best price from one supplier but see that everyone is ordering from different places so I'm assuming the idea hasn't worked. right?
[Desire General] redrazr7791:
When I spoke to a Handtec associate, they told me that the price would be changing (increase or decrease) between now and the day the phone is shipped.

Of course, I live in the U.S. so the value of the $ compared to GBP fluctuates daily
[Desire General] jm997:
So, I preordered one in Switzerland. Unlocked at 599 CHF, hopefully there are no delays in shipment.
[Desire General] Carlo626:
that's a very good price, about €410 at today's rate

would you care to share the link?

I placed a pre-order with Clove and with shipping the total cost to me is €455 - already a very good price but wouldn't mind saving a few extra €€€
[Desire General] salahag:
Just like to point out guys that when the phone is released prices can still change on that same day. If you read the terms/policy on the store website you'll see that. They will usually send the people who pre-ordered informing them of the change in price and giving them a chance to cancel the order if they want.

But from previous observation, I think Clove will still have a competetive price anyway.
[Desire General] redrazr7791:
Never ordered with Clove, but I do know that Handtec will offer pricematching.

All you have to do is provide them with the link and they will either match or beat the price. Of course other things have to fall into place too, but when I spoke to the CS at Handtec...they assured me that when the phone becomes available in April that they will beat anyone's price :D
[Desire General] jm997:
The store is digitec.ch, they also have real (physical) stores where you can go, e.g in Zürich. Don't know about shipping charges outside of Switzerland, might be expensive.
[Desire General] Indomitable:

Is Handtec a reliable website? They have really good prices. Also i was wondering would it be better to use Paypal for checking out or Google checkout?
[Desire General] redrazr7791:
Ordered 3 phones from them before...all top notch. I am in NO WAY a rep for them, but the communication is good. Ordered on Sunday, and by Wednesday I had the phone. The only reason I did not receive it Tuesday is because I was a little late filling out the FCC documentation needed to import cellphones. Basically once it hits the U.S., customs emails you or calls you to fill out some paper work to let the phone pass through. Really easy process.

I had to return one phone because I just didn't like it. Refund process was as smooth as lube.

The only check-out I used was googlecheckout, but if I am correct that is the only way that someone in the U.S. can place an order.

They also have competitive pricing, so if you find another dealer who has a better price, just provide the link and they will match or beat it.
