[Desire General] Azurael:
The HD2 is almost exactly the same price as the Desire here in the UK. When it came to renew my contract, I of course went for the Desire (shame it's not a Nexus just for the dev community, though I do like Sense :P) because the HD2 is a) massive, and I think things like the Desire and iPhone are already quite big enough and b) it runs Windows mobile, which is actually why I ended up downgrading from my TyTN back to a 'dumb' phone after a couple of months, because WM is the most un-intuitive, unstable, clunky, backward, non-finger-friendly excuse for an operating system any modern device has ever seen. I'm sure even a 1GHz snapdragon could feel slow under WM6, and Android, OTOH, I think I'm liking MORE than the iPhone OS - I certainly like the customisability, performance and easy integration and bacgrounding of 3rd party apps (e.g. Spotify, Last.fm) that would never be possible without cludgy hacks on a Jailbroken iPhone :d
[Desire General] Candlemass:
OK, now that porting Android into HD2 has reached a good level, I want to ask again if moving from HD2 to Desire is worth the deal. I have been proposed to trade my HD2 for a Desire phone and I am thinking about it very seriously!

The facts are that I love HD2's hardware and screen size and that I am prepared to replace Windows Mobile with Android 2.2 FroYo in HD2. I just wanna ask if it could save me the trouble by just trading it with a native android phone (Desire).

I also ran into a hardware comparison table here : hxxp://phonegg.com/compare/26/HTC-HD2-vs-HTC-Desire.html showing that apart from the screen size, Desire is -overall- better in hardware.

So to conclude, HD2 with Android 2.2 or Desire??? Any helping thoughts would be appreciated! ;)
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Why not wait a couple of months for the Ace/Desire HD, which is essentially a slightly up-specced HD2 running Android?

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] Candlemass:
Because, as I mentioned in the previous post, I was proposed an exchange between my HD2 for Desire... I just want some more opinions before I make the exchange. :)
[Desire General] Kickasskev:
mate go for it, best thing I ever bought, fully customizable if rooted, thousands of apps 720 hd recording on 2.2, my girl friend is sick of this phone cos once i bought it i have never been off it, had it 4 month now lol and still many thing to learn and do with it.
[Desire General] CONTACTMC:
I traded in my HD2 for the Desire, at first I was a bit dissaponted to be honest and wondered what all the hype was about, movie and music playback were my main issues, HD2 had an audio booser and coreplayer, Desire had no graphic and I had to convert films, this was untill I found Mixzing and Rockplayer, these solved these issues. The desire I must admit now overall is better, it feels more well built, never lags and is lightning fast compared to the HD2, also I have never had to hard reset due to problems, I was forever starting from scratch on the HD2 due to various issues. Saying this I never had Android installed on my HD2 so I cant compare the os between the devices. So, overall I do prefer the desire to the HD2 as it has caused me alot less hassle, but..... I do miss the big screen on the HD2 so will probably be upgrading to the desire HD if it gets a release in the uk.

Peace!

PS. The andriod app store murders microshafts (if your willing to wade through all the **** to find the good stuff.
[HD2 General] besca147:
Does anyone know the point of the clock numbers next to the network label? Is it some kind of monitor to see how long someone is active with their network or does it start from 00:00:00 when the phone is switched on?

See on this thread called How to disable HTC notifications screen at the screenshot cgcmd posted (I'm sorry, the forum won't let me link at the mo as I'm too new)... Next to where it says 3G, mine used to say that or HSDPA (I think) but now it says T-Mobile Internet and it has a clock counting up. Is that bad?

I'm currently connected to my home wi-fi if that makes any difference.

Having said all that, I think I'd be more worried if it was counting down... :eek:
[HD2 General] degake:
This means you have an active data connection (with T-Mobile)... If this is a good or a bad thing depends on the fact if you have or haven't got a data plan.

Grtz,

Degake
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
I'd just like to add to the above answer that most data plans are on volume not time (certainly in the uk) so an active data connection (which it is) doesn't mean you are necessarily being charged.
[HD2 General] besca147:
I have. Whew!
[HD2 General] besca147:
Oh, that's good because I've disabled things that need a continuous internet connection like the weather for instance and update it when I really want to know.

I also check my online account and it's recording my non-wi-fi data usage at £0.00 charge, so that's reassuring.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafiki6:
*Disclaimer: Don't flame me if it has been done, I just can't find it. Point me in the direction of where it is. This is based on the development of G1 roms, so I thought it would fall under the development category*

Was wondering who would be in favour of creating a ROM only forum or even just a thread in this forum listing all the current ROMs from XDA for the G1.

I personally hate having to search for ROMs through hundreds of pages.

Any thoughts?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] protomanez:
Why? Most of the update to date roms are just already on the first 3 pages...

Plus there's Android Spin if you didn't know o_o' http://db.androidspin.com/android_b...oid_developer_id=&NumberOfReleases=9999&go=go
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafiki6:
I know of Android Spin and use it frequently, but it does not contain all available ROMS, since it depends on the dev. It does contain most.

Here is my argument for why:

1. Some devs may have discontinued work on a specific ROM, thus no updates and it will not show up on the first few pages. I was playing around with some old ROMS that have some merits, though the dev has discontinued.

2. Navigating between ROM/non rom specific threads is annoying and tedious and I am sure some others share the sentiment

3. Sometimes I do not want to go through a thread to download the ROM. I may just want to redownload, or download an update, and this would be served well by a dedicated thread with download links.

4. Its not too much work, and it does not hurt anyone to have this thread.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] protomanez:
The thing is most newer roms are based off old others or combined, so it would almost be like downgrading :S but I guess you could get someone bored to do it for you...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macrophage001:
Wrong Section btw
[General Topics] poetryrocksalot:
Do you think this is a good idea? A slider phone. It has a top screen and a bottom screen.

1) Both screens are touch screens.

2) Bottom screen only displays virtual keyboards, menus, and settings

3) When the top screen is slide out, the bottom screen is active.

4) When the bottom screen is active, the menus and buttons will migrate from top screen to bottom.

5) When the menus and buttons migrate from top to bottom, you can see more on your top screen (when browsing web and when watching movies, etc).

6) You can change settings and do stuff without having to switch from full screen to normal screen (because of the bottom screen), and without having to pause or without having to have the menus and buttons to appear on the top screen.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Wr4i7h:
Since stkeys PPC (vb.net app) is way too slow, at least on my blueangel, i decided to try porting the original stkeys prog by wyse101 0x40 gmail.com to windows mobile as a native c app. So here it is, source included.

How to use:

Copy stkeys_mobile.exe to any folder on your phone.

Suppose you need to find the key for ThomsonAABBCC. Copy AABBCC to the clipboard.

Close any CPU intensive apps you might have running, so the program runs faster.

Run the program, and click OK to confirm or Cancel to exit.

Wait a bit (this program doesn't really have a GUI; bear with my inexperience in win32 coding).

After a minute or so, a messagebox shows up. Click OK to see the results with your default txt viewer. The results are always appended to \stkeys.txt.

Enjoy.

Hi

Sorry to sound dumb, thank for sharing but what exactly your app is doing ? :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jagan2:
Exactly i also didnt understand ... what this app does?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Wr4i7h:
It does the same as the original stkeys: guess the default WPA key in Thomson/Speedtouch routers. Read more on it here.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kremlincrackers:
Hi.

I'm trying using this on my Xperia (WM 6.1) and give this error:

" Invalid SSID length (0). Exiting."

I already installed the .net framework.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Wr4i7h:
You have to copy the SSID to the clipboard. This program does not use the .net framework.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] scilor:
You may also take my SciLor's Wifi Penetrate (Other routers are also supported) for it. You will just need a rainbowtable to find the keys very fast (Just 200MB)!

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dicksisfontes:
Hi.

Im not very new with flashing roms, ive tried many but there is one thing i dont understand.

Almost all cupcake and donut roms ive tried are more or less pretty fast. Though Cyanogen is by far the fastest in my opinion.

But every eclair rom ive tried is very very choppy and not fast at all. A few are ok when im in a meny or such but not in the home screen. Im not talking about "a little bit slower", im talking about VERY slow i the home screen, choppy!

The others who have tried these roms is not, what i can read, experiencing the same thing.

Im sitting on a 32A whit ahmon ras recovery and stock spl.

Have i done something wrong or are all eclair roms this slow?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] KAwAtA:
I'd like to know this as well haha. I've seen people say "Oh it's so fast" but when I try it out myself, it is ridiculously choppy. But I've only tried the Eclair roms + PORTS, I wonder if porting has anything to doo with it
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] st0kes:
It's because we don't have an Eclair driver for the GPU in the HTC Magic. We can't provide hardware accellerated graphics without it.

Once HTC release some official 2.x roms for the Magic we'll be able to extract the driver out of that. Until then, donut roms will be faster and smoother.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] unfnknblvbl:
is there a way to disable A2SD/Swap in these ports? The 32A phones don't really need this, IMO and I'm sure it's what's making Eclair so slow.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] KAwAtA:
Eclair is already slow enoguh, I am quite certain that swap and a2sd isn't making much of a difference
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] unfnknblvbl:
well I can't be bothered going out and getting a class-6 SD card, so I'm fairly sure that it's at least partially responsible :P

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mi_ll_i:
Late last year i dropped my phone in water but it seems to have made a 95% recovery from that. The only issues are the lower right hand "uppercase" button doesnt work but the left one does so ill jus have to get used to that and the red "power" button doesnt work at all, so in order to power it off, i have to take out the battery and it turns on soon as i pop the battery in. Is there any alternative to powering down/on/rebooting it?

How about the easy way:

Just take it apart and CLEAN IT!!!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3s-rt:
how would that help with water damage? i didn't know you could clean away water damage...

i know of the little sticker that changes color when water damaged... is there anyway you can change that back to white and take to store and say your power button broke?

[HD2 General] A|ex:
Does anyone know how to turn of 3G as its sucking my phone dry and it lasts for less than a day. i installed a cab file and now i no longer get the 3g connection in the manager. Is there another way to disable it as i can see it switching between the networks and 3g is on and off like crazy.
[HD2 General] m4sta2k:
U should really considering searching before u ask something like that

going to phone>menu>options>band is the same as going to settings>phone>band.
[HD2 General] A|ex:
i checked the options in connection manager and advanced but never saw anything which said 3G, is it a band setting i need to change instead, if so what is the band setting to not use 3G?
[HD2 General] kilrah:
WCDMA = 3G. So just set network type to "GSM" instead of "Automatic".

Hi all

Do you know if theres is a player where i can the playlist while im playing the music. So i can easily scroll my songs, while playing?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] peterc10:
If you mean seeing what other tracks are on an album you are playing then Mixzing. Play as album and then hit list icon on top right of screen. Free on the market

If you mean you want a list of all the songs you have then the standard HTC music player will show that - just hit the music note icon on the bottom right of the screen whilst playing anything
[HTC Excalibur] porsuktoros:
Hi guys, i have a weird problem that i cannot fix. (i have been searching last 2 weeks, and i've decided to post a new thread.)

I am using new 3vo rom for my dash with T-Mobile service, suddenly my phone stoped making calls, receiving calls, texting and everything related with my service. I thought there could be a problem with antenna, i opened my phone, cleaned the antenna in case of oxidation. Didn't help...

I have 5 bars all the time on the screen. sometimes is disappears. I try to chose network manually. mostly it gives me errors, i cant even see names "t mobile, at&t" etc...

I reinstalled 3vo but didn't help. I installed the original rom from t-mobile's website. it didnt help either. I called t-mobile, they said there is no problem with your number and your IMEI number.

What should i do? :confused: Do i have a hardware problem? I have no warranty anymore. Should i buy a new one or take it to tmobile to get it fixed?

Thanks a lot for your help...
[HTC Excalibur] HTCS621Smartphone:
Maybe your sim card has gone currorpt, see if t-mobile or even one of your friends sim cards.

Gotta Love GSM. :p
[HTC Excalibur] porsuktoros:
i tried that too, with 2 different simcards, one was t mobile, the other was at&t... i m losing my hope :(
[HTC Excalibur] jgrv:
sorry didn't understand, it also didn't work with another sim card?

I had the same problem with my dash a couple of days ago. In my case was the antenna because the signal was turning off randomly. I cleaned it, but also noticed there was a weak contact between the antenna and the phone so I bended it a little bit to fix it. Now it's working fine. It will probably sound stupid but have you try it with another battery? (sorry for my bad english)
[HTC Excalibur] porsuktoros:
"I thought there could be a problem with antenna, i opened my phone, cleaned the antenna in case of oxidation. Didn't help..."

I have 2 original batteries, one is brand new... i cannot understand. i started looking a used one on ebay already. :(

thanks for the answer guys. you are the best.
[HTC Excalibur] porsuktoros:
last update... solution...

ok, , i have found people who had this problem on internet... they couldnt find a solution like antenna cleaning, flashing again and again, apps, unbricking... so the problem was hardware. i changed the board. i got a broken dash on ebay. i replaced the board. voila.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] EDENO1:
I have been searching for 3 hours, Can't find the answer...

I am running the stock AT&T/HTC rom. I want 1 Today screen that has everything on it that I use frequently: apps, contacts, calculator, etc.

I was using SPB mobile shell, but my "running tasks" icon (in upper right corner) disappeared & I could never figure out how to get it back.

I uninstalled SPB MS and I am back to the stock shell (and my "running tasks" icon is back)...I went to Today settings and unchecked TF3D because I don't want to scroll thru a bunch of pages, I just want all my frequently used items in one place, the today screen. This setup worked perfectly on my Kaiser using SPB Pocket PC. But, I wanted the much bigger screen that Tilt 2 offers.

Anyway, after unchecking TF3D on the today settings...my home screen is blank and when I go back to Today Settings, Items...there are only a few things I can add...like date, calendar, owner info. How can I add shortcuts for apps and games I have installed? I know the Today screen is unchangeable when you are running touchflo but I have disabled it. I tried a soft reset, that didn't change anything...the Windows default isn't any better of an alternative...pls help! I have tried wording my search 20 different ways and I cannot find the answer. THANK YOU!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
SPB makes another great solution that will do exactly what you're looking for, it adds all that type of functionality to the stock WM home screen without using any shell interfaces or losing your task manager. It's called SPB Pocket Plus, and details are here. ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] EDENO1:
thanks, I didn't want to use that program because it says its only compatible up to WM 6.0 (and my phone uses WM 6.5)...but I installed it and it works great...w/full screen functionality...was worried about that. THANK YOU!!!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:

[Windows Mobile Software Development] dewild1:
Hi, I, plus many others, would like a VOIP solution that works.

I know some say there is a VOIP that is built into many ROMs but I have had about 10 devices, starting with the XDAII that I have never gotten to work here in the USA.

Yes, I have tried http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=299950 and the gOD Shaun33 SipConfigTool_2_0_1.CAB and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=574521... And many hours of searching...

I would install SipConfigTool_2_0_1.CAB & WM6VoIP.CAB & even SecondToday.CAB on roms with different Today skins.. (Touch Flow or whatever)...

On all roms, the today plug in "Internet calling" would not show.

I think the verizon and sprint must have sabotaged the possibility of VOIP or something.

I also have read that when people did get it to work, it would not work with their BT headsets and OR would produce sound out of the speakerphone and not the normal speaker.

Here is what I want.

I want the ability to switch between regular cell calls and VOIP.

A simple file edit or GUI like the gOD Shaun33 SipConfigTool_2_0_1.CAB

Can be switched from VOIP over WIFI or VOIP over reg cell data or reg cell phone via a button or a Today plug in..

To be able to use my Blue tooth headset.

Not use a third party app,, just the default - built in phone dialer so the ringing and other stuff.

NOR a third party app that does not slow things down, activate your WIFI.. (like fring) and that wakes your phone up for a call, yet allows it to sleep to save on battery life.

Hell everyone is doing VOIP now days, especially with the Windows based VOIP server that will even run on Windows XP. www.3CX.com .... Its free.. We use it at my business with a laptop or desktop and the 3CX softphone. To make it the best thing ever, we use a BUA-100 Plantronics BT USB device and a www.JAWBONE.com and the quality is the best thing out there and you can answer and hang up by a click on the side of the BT headset, just like your cell phone, so you can keep your hands free and not have to sit by your computer.

Asterisk is another.

Now to put that coolness into a cell phone that would go out over the hi speed wireless or WIFI, THAT would be the FRICKEN COOLEST!

I would pay $150 and I think there is MANY people who will donate money too.

[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
In 2008 the Xperia was the #1 device voted in our General Forum.

But now that it has been 2 years and now that people more unanimously claim that the keyboard loses sensitivity and the housing cracks everywhere, would XDA still have voted the X1 as the best HTC device in 2008?

I recall that in 2008, there were alot of people who said that their phone was flawless, but now these people are almost non-existent.
