[HD2 General] rjstep3:
I haven't followed all of this thread, but my twopenny worth.

I agree that the HD2 is great BUT, there are some downsides which potential purchasers need to be aware of.

First off, it is very large - if you use it as an email device, fantastic, but if you want a phone you can slip unobtrusively in your pocket, the HD2 is not for you.

Secondly, the battery life is dire - HTC gave us a great screen, but if you use it for long, the battery will die. I know, I know, someone will say, carry a spare, but that is not the point, they should have made the battery life better. What is the point of a smartphone that you can't use if you are out for the day without easy access to power?

Finally, the platform is dead - WinMo "Classic" is going nowhere, and will be superseded very shortly. Yes, WinMo is not being killed off, but the app developers know what this means and there will be little development for it as a platform from now on. Also remember that HTC have been brilliant in developing Sense but really there are few applications for the HD2 which really use the interface for its best. Worse than that, there are many applications which require a stylus. I suppose along with the spare battery, we should all carry the capacitive stylus sold by HTC?

In reality, the HD2 is like OS/2 (perhaps we should call it the HD/2?) - OS/2 was in its day way ahead of what Windows 3.1 could offer, but it was a dead platform going nowhere fast, and few apps to run on it.

[HD2 General] fantasytozi:
Im not the kind of person who want to carry a spare battery along and I dont compare in terms of having spare batteries to replace. Comparison here is for 1 and only one battery to use. It's quite obviously that iphone's one is better:)
[Android Software Development] omnia2tester:
I have an ARM 1176 processor. I would like to experiment with dual boot Android off the XD card.

nevermind...

apparently assembling this on my own is more complicated than first anticipated. I guess I will hope that someday someone can alter the shw-m100s android software for CDMA radio.

thanks anyway.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] Jewbagelz:
My current ROM is Energy Rom - the latest release.

Before that was the release from I believe last feb.

Problem: Data connection always says wrong password or username.:mad:

Stump: I went to the store today and got the guy to triple check that my username and pass was right.:confused::confused:

I worked my way up to the top tech guru guy who, even though i voided my warranty, understood my situation and tried for two hours to get corporate to give him the revision of cellular souths ROM. Basically just starting from scratch, the data worked on this original ROM.

Now I am in search of a fix. Anything that might get my data working will do. HTC does not have cellular south's rom since they are not a nationwide company. Maybe I could install a sprint CDMA rom and see what happens? Cant be any farther away from it working then I am now. Or possibly if anyone has a link to an old ROM, one of the first few (So all the drivers and stuff will sync with my phone)

Willing to take any advice, but I am a poor college kid, I cant afford to brick this.:cool:
[Touch Diamond CDMA] Jewbagelz:
Update -

I found the original RUU for Cellular South DIAM500 - I installed it but still the same problem. I just compared the different username and passwords i had been given and they are all correct. So maybe it is hardware? I have insurance on this phone. Think now that I have the original ROM on it, they would give me a replacement?
[Touch Diamond CDMA] josefcrist:
i would go to ppcgeeks.com they have more cdma users than xda
[Touch Diamond CDMA] Jewbagelz:
Yeh I had made a post in both forums. I finally found it through google, a lucky find most likely. Took it back to the store, and as i had first thought months ago, they had changed my username on one settings, and not the other. Nice...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] johnyblaze:
So I've configured a mail account on my WM6.5 Touch Pro 2 using Windows Live Mobile (and it shows up as a Hotmail account).

If I *create* a new e-mail from the device using the Hotmail account, the recipient will receive a plain text e-mail. The same is saved in Sent Items. That's fine.

Now, if I'm *replying* to or *forwarding* an e-mail -- regardless of if the thread is HTML or plain text -- the recipient will receive an HTML e-mail with my text in Times New Roman, and all line breaks in my response removed! The same is saved in Sent Items.

This is extremely annoying as:

"Thanks for your help.

See you later,

--J."

Turns into:

"Thanks for your help. See you later, --J."

I can't find a way to get line breaks into my e-mails when I'm replying or forwarding!

Is this normal behaviour for Windows Live Mobile push mail? I'm not having this issue with my POP or IMAP accounts on the phone, just the Hotmail account.

If it matters, I'm on MightyROM 2-10-10 and the Windows Live version is 10.7.0061.0500.2000.

And here's one more twist:

If I reply to / forward an e-mail, but before sending do a Save To Draft (and reopen from the Draft folder), and then send, the whole thread gets converted to plain text, and then my line feeds are retained.

So I suppose that's one workaround, but it's pretty annoying to have to convert a whole thread to plain text just so that I can have line breaks in my e-mail response!

Any ideas? Am I alone on this??
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmedsalem89:
hi guys i'm new to this forum and i'm going to buy the x1 tomorrow hopefully, first i wanted a samsung jet but the x1 is way better because of WinMo, The keyboard and other things wich i really like.

there r few things that i'd like to know, and yes i did some reading first :D

1- is there any drawback that i might expect from the x1?

2- is it upgradeable to WinMo 6.5?

3- what is ROM development? is it changing the whole OS?

4- what r the mods or tweaks that i might consider to do first?

sry if i'm asking something that is answered somewhere else but i'm new to SE and WinMo so any help will be greatly appreciated :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eurosport360:
1) Xperia is great in many ways, and you would be investing in something that can last for a long time. Right now, there are no serious draw back to it, at least Physical wise. Its been a long time since it's initial release date, so I would expect Ericsson to have tweaked the structure for its advantage. The best part about the xperia x1 is that its very compatible, and can withstand many different types of ROMS

2) In short, yes, but only through ROMS

3) ROMS are to Operating systems as Phones are to Computers; or its the operating system of the phone. Yes, the operating system gets changed when you flash a ROM to your device (Mobile 6.1 is boring anyways). There are a couple ways of doing this, which you shoudl read up on, but in general, you hardSPL your device from your computer using a program (which allows custom ROMS to be transformed to your device), and then use the computer to run a customRUU, in which the new custom ROM is then transferred to the device. There are other ways of doing this, but you can research that yourself.

4) I recommend either Phoenix 2 or valkyrie 6.0, which are custom ROMS with a ton of tweaks already preloaded in them. Go to the ROM threads for more info.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmedsalem89:
Thanx So Much For Ur reply,

so u r saying that i can have WinMo 6.5 without any mods or with mods?

is this process hard that i might kill the phone or something? if it is not easy like placing some files on the phone and enjoy, can i backup the whole thing so i can flash it back to the state which i bought it in? cause i'm new to the whole WinMo thing, also will it spoil the warranty? cause if so, i'll stick with mods on the normal WinMo 6.1 for a while.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eurosport360:
Yep, you can either find a clean Win 6.5 ROM with nothing pre-loaded into it, or one with stuff pre-loaded into it. The process is easier than I first thought: just hardSPL your device, which an app does for you, and then do the same thing for ROMS, in which you dowload the ROm, hook up your computer to your phone, and launch the customRUU exe that comes with it. A lot of peopel might say its way more complicated, but this is generally it. Search hardSPL in forums.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmedsalem89:
nice, thanx for these useful info but i guess i'll stick with WinMo 6.1 for a while now, but i messed it up anyway tried to install mobidiv arabic support but it showed letters backwards so i uninstalled it and now i have no words in some certain places :confused::confused: can u refer me to a working mobidiv multilangual support?

thanx so much for ur replay I installed the second one and it worked great, overall the phone is amazing I installed some programs like xperia tweak, and touchresponse, i have a lot of games with the phone but they r all demo i guess all the games out there must be paid for, I just have more questions,

1-what's a manila?

2-I remember I once used internet on a WinMo phone connected to a computer through USB, is it possible with the xperia? I.E. if i have a working internet connection on my computer, can i use internet on my xperia through this same connection via USB cable?

3-Flash support for opera?? I'm downloading Opera Mobile 10 and then try to play a youtube video and see what happens

4-Can u plz refer me to a good music player that has equilizer?

5-Despite the quality of the sound is very good but the volume is low, is there something to raise or boost the volume?

I know these r lots of Questions but i'll really appreciate if u answer :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harveydent:
1- manila is another name for Touch Flo 3D, which is HTC's proprietary GUI. Since it's extremely finger friendly and easy to use, a lot of cooks include it in their ROMs

2 - sync your phone using active sync, there is a check box that will let you use your desktop's internet on your X1 as long as your phone is connected via active sync (sorry for being vague, i don't have AS installed)

3 - most cooked ROMs already have flash support for internet browsers. for stock ROMs, there are cabs around that'll give you flash (again, sorry for being vague, i'd been using cooked ROMs for more than a year and all of them have flash)

4- Manila has the Audio Booster app has EQ settings. You can also try windows media player, nitrogen, coreplayer... there are tons of music apps for WinMo

5- Look for the "audiopara" cab somewhere in the forum
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmedsalem89:
thanx so much for these useful info., so is manila a .cab that could be installed, cuz i'm downloading a 33 MB file that is supposed to install touchflo panel it's a .cab i think.

right now i'm looking for a good audio player, and a divx player, BTW can I play Rmvb video files on the xperia??

regarding the audiopara i searched but all i found was related to roms or certain roms: new roms, and others that i don't rembember the name but the prob. is that I don't know which one will work for my x1, can u help me?

if you go to settings-connections-usb on pc, you can change the settings to "normal" and also check the " ask me" box
[Nexus One General] trevorwhopkins:
I have a serious problem. I noticed a bug in the Desire alphas where sometimes when the backlight went off during a call it would not come back on when the i took the phone away from my face. It always came back on eventually.

Ok now yesterday I flash alpha 8 and it worked fine. Now all of a sudden I reboot my phone bc the battery dies and the backlight won't come on at all! I know the phone is on because the haptic feedback and cap buttons are on and if I leave it on I can tell it's getting notifications.

How am I supposed to fix this?! I can't even see anything to get into recovery! My phone is unusable.
[Nexus One General] BlackHawk6:
Find out every step to do a backup in recovery... see if that works
[Nexus One General] BlackHawk6:
Load into bootloader

Press power button once and wait about 20 seconds

press volume down once then hit power button once

Wait about a minute and move the trackball down slowly 3 time and press it

Scroll it down once and press it four times
[Nexus One General] McFroger3:
Unless your screen is broken you can always boot into recovery.

Take out the battery, then put it back in.

Hold the trackball down as you power on, this will boot you into fast boot.

Select bootloader, then select recovery. and bam your in recovery and can reflash.
[Nexus One General] trevorwhopkins:
I can get my phone into recovery. When I adb in i can push the phone into recovery, then when i hit adb devices it shows my phone and says recovery.

the problem is the backlight is not on even when i am in recovery. i would say the screen broke, but it seemed like a software problem, because it was just slow to come back on. It still always came back on. then I left it in my car chargine and it never came on again. The phone seems to be working fine though.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Kind of off topic, but did your call screen do this before flashing to Desire at all? Did you recently install a screen protector? I had problems with the PhantomSkinz screen protector making the proximity sensor less sensitive and behaved exactly how you're describing...as soon as I took it off it started working again. I'm now using a dcmugen88 screen protector and it works great.
[Nexus One General] trevorwhopkins:
interesting. i have one of those bodyglove or whatever protectors. best buy glued it onto my lcd. i suppose it could have started around that time. but would the proximity sensor still be deactivating the lcd even when its booting up or in recovery?
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Oh, I must have overlooked that. The screen protector wouldn't cause any issues on startup or in recovery... guess it must be the rom then.
[Nexus One General] trevorwhopkins:
well, figured it out.

warning to n1 users: watch that lcd screen under the glass. its not nearly as sturdy as the glass cover.

the lcd/digitizer screen under my glass got cracked and stopped working. no drop, no warning, no funny colors. htc does not cover this in the warranty no matter how good the actual phones condition is.

i almost didnt get another n1, a phone thats inherantly weak (i found dozens of similar reports over the web) is not exactly a good case for a system with no insurance, no store to walk into, and very unhelpful support. they try to be very nice, but the rep i talked to couldnt even tell me whats covered and not. he just said let us charge 500 bucks to your card and we will ship a replacement, then decide if we think you have to buy it once we get your old phone. i demanded to talk to someone who did know. his manager denied hearing about lcd screen problems... after the original rep said he and htc knew this was a common problem. google didnt even return my email when i first contacted them saying my backlight was broken.

so again, be careful and get a good case.
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
ive got 5 bux that says the power connector to your lcd came lose so now the screen just doesnt turn on ;)... i have heard this issue before... send it in and get it fixed if its going to cost you then tell them to **** off and send their phone they just sent you back

I had the same issue;

Solution is, after flashing any ROM, before launching the YouTube app, make sure that you browse Internet using Opera or IE on each of the connections 3G, WiFi etc.

I've had this problem on 3 previous ROMs; After various trials & error I've found this solution; Now verified on 3 diff. ROMs. I'm currently using Dutty's 0.8 v..
