What it makes me think is that a friend of Cyan at T-Mo hooked him up with a network ID key that is usually resereved for T-Mo network testers, so it removes the cap that T-Mo sets on account based on the tower you are on(every carrier does this, FYI)... so basically, you can the max speed from the tower that your combo of phone, tower, et al can handle.

Here is the thing, though... those caps are in place to save bandwidth for everyone else. As well, using a system that hasn't finished being setup can cause major issues, ie mess up their testing and trouble shooting, and delay the real roll out even more so.

Finally, every carrier is always working on upgrading and updating their network. This includes new towers, but more so this day in age, updating older towers. Hacking into the updates before they go live is pretty troublesome, IMHO, and I would think it would be a violation of XDA's terms of use. Just as they don't support warez, I would think they wouldn't support hacking a telephone network.

Then again, I could be totally wrong about what this magic code is, and it could be something that has the phone process the data signal different increasing speed... but I doubt it would be specific to T-Mobile in that case.

Doubt is such and horrible feeling, BELIEVE!!!

I wish we could have Super user status on everything...
[G1 General] alan090:
hey just because i have an awesome 17$ plan and 6gb of data

and gotten 2 android phones for almost nothing

along with i have 2 pending upgrades for whateveer phones of my choice mean

I do like rogers :) (am abit peeved about the redirects and what not but my credits i have yet to ask for should smooth that over)

and you gotta admit looking at tmobile and att networks they are kinda pathetic compared to what we have enjoyed here for some time
[G1 General] apreichner:
Well if nothing gets released before the end of this month, I'm sure it's just some huge april fools joke that all of the developers have gotten in on. lol.
[G1 General] georgegreco86:
yea, iim not the most technical guy when it comes to all that, but the g1 will max out for sure. it will accept the 4g, as its all backwards compatible, but we wont be recieving the speeds that the other handsets are having. so i would hope that it happens. but it is exactly what the title says, for TMO anyways. 3.5 at best. haha.

seeing as Sprint is exclusive right now with 4G, there attempting to make a splash, the hero made waves, and has more people interested, and those Android owners most likely want to upgrade to the new sets that are capable.

Being the ultimate point now.....

(Maybe we all should just bite the damn bullet, and buy us a new phone. haha.)
[G1 General] georgegreco86:
wheres this guy at??? lol no 3g buddy?

and what if its just some cool transitions. like the big announcement. and all we got was a screen that spun all the way around. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. haha
[G1 General] homerunking1221:
Watch it bub! No 3g lovin for me her in las cruces nm a town near 100000 people
[G1 General] Sheldonjace:
Is it that hard for a company to grow with little to no competition (Isn't Rogers the ONLY cellphone provider in Canada??? lol) or government regulations? Please stop comparing Rogers to U.S. carriers...in the end you have to be in Canada to use their network which = fail. :D

(God I love the show 'How I Met Your Mother' for all their Canadian insults too)

I love my $20 plan with Unlimited everything (basically) and 10gb+ of data, no contracts, and 2 phones a year with metropolitan 3G coverage kthanx ;)

Well shoot I couldn't have said it all better. Same thoughts were in my mind but then again I'm just a skeptic. Even though don't get me wrong Cyanogen and WG have definitely put out a lot of AMAZING work to probably knock my socks off with whatever this maybe and since they both have posted in this thread I'm sure its something. I just hate all the secrecy....it makes me giddy just wondering what it really is hahaha.
[G1 General] alan090:
yea thats why you guys lose your 3g in major metropolitan area

I know your plans too

your data is more expensive than mine

your plans worse

your coverage worse

and your masses stupider :)

unl data is what 35$?

and unl = 5gb

i pay 30$ for 6gb and my corporate plan destroys anything any of your carriers offer

and actually a list of providers

Telus (sucks)

Bell (sucks)

Rogers (marginally better than these 2)

Wind (coverage sucks and you pay extra if you travel off their limited coverage)
[HD2 General] smeddy:
I was expecting Sense development to dwindle to nothing over the next year, with WM 7 on the horizon.

But with WM7 looking increasingly poo (from today's announcements: no removable storage card, no customisations, limited copy/paste, no file manager, DRM all over, and generally all the problems the iphone had 4 years afo), I'm hoping we may see a decent after-life from 6.5.

Not that I like 6.5: It's customisable, a sound operating system, and an open-platform, but it's also clunky and ugly as hell.

But I'm hoping we may now see Sense continue to evolve (new Facebook tab etc), when before I was expecting it to come to a halt, minus the odd patch here and there.

Anyways, I love Sense. It masks 6.5 very well and is a great interface for a mobile phone. Here's hoping it will become more extensible and feature-filled in the future.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Yup, for Android.
[HD2 General] rickyoon.vegas:
Hello, Desire.
[HD2 General] cMMY69:
Hi,

To be honest, from what I've seen of Windows Phone Series 7 I'd rather have Sense or a sense like interface on any operating system rather than use the "7" interface. HTC will continue to develop Sense, but will they be able to do so for "7"? Potentially they may be allowed to create a portal to Sense within the "7" Interface scheme (sorry, I can't remember what you call each of the tabs on "7", I found it too boring to remember when watching the various MWC videos. I wasn't "Super Excited" )but you probably wouldn't be able to have the phone boot up into that as a default interface for the full phone and you might not be able to use sense for certain functions (messaging dialer etc.). This is all speculation on my part of course).

HTC introduced a new version of Sense on Android at Mobile World Congress and stated that existing Sense users on Android will get a free upgrade. I expect HTC to keep developing it.

With a gtood enough interface, connectivity, function and features I really shoudn't care what the underlying operating system is.

My honest opinion.
[HD2 General] tboy2000:
Althougg i like the look of wp7s i think its not efficent in the sense you need to do too much scrolling to navigate. The best use of speedy navigation is icons in a grid format so you see more links per page and less scrolling. like the iphone. btw i love my hd2 and never owned an iphone.
[HD2 General] Reason4444:
I'm definitely choose "Sense" rather than "I-**** like WM7"...

Seems Android is the way to go..
[HD2 General] Lukasss:
I was pretty excited seeing the live launch thing. It looked pretty cool, fresh, original UI if you will. Right now I'm actually thinking about sticking with 6.5. That OS can do almost anything when compared to that non-multitasking protected and closed off bunch of tiles... I don't know right now, I'll need it on my device at least once.

That being said I'm too starting to hope on further development of Sense. As said above, it's a really great and fast UI to use and looks good too. And you can customize it, 'make it yours', right?

Grtz

Lukas
[HD2 General] dusty_nz:
well

I agree. with what I have see and heard I am not interested in WM7. If 6.5X still gets developed I will stay otherwise I will move to Android.

However until WM7 is actually released I will sit on the fence. As previously seen a lot of facts seem to be unproven in the long run.
[HD2 General] aceo07:
The title fonts are huge and it other font sizes could be smaller. I know that WP7s wants WVGA initially.. but all the screen I've seen seem to make me think they didn't use the space efficiently. It seems more like they designed it for HVGA.
[HD2 General] peaceboy:
I doubt HTC will continue Sense for WM considering WM7 you CANNOT have Sense UI at all so why even bother..

I also think HTC is moving more towards Android now..

I myself have been tempted to move to Andriod but i've been a WinMo user since dunno when :) and have gotten soooo used to it i can't imaging moving to a new OS altogether and i love the HD2...no way i'm going to have WinMo7 in it even if it does get supported..

No WVGA, No Cut & Paste, No File explorer, No Sense UI, no Flash, No installs from cab files, not backward compatible...with more to come each day...Why would i even want to use Winmo7? It sounds sooo primitive.

Who knows after the HD2, I just might move to Android, not because i want to but because ultimately i believe i have to...
[HD2 General] rickyoon.vegas:
You know, I used to be Apple sheep, and only recently (1 year) I started using windows and dabbled here and there on Linux, and realized how much freedom you have on these devices and not being told what programs are cool to use and all that.

iPhone was cool because I didn't know any better.

Now that I've started to see just what windows/mobile has to offer, I feel like Neo, waking up in the tank from the Matrix.

And here's Windows Phone 7 Series. Microsoft killed the little resistance group and the only salvation they offer is to go back to the tank and back to the Matrix.
[HD2 General] neil_swann80:
It does seem like Microsoft is turning it's back on those loyal to Windows Mobile to appeal more to the iFashion brigade. I foresee this pushing a lot of us away from WPS7 towards Android.
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
xda developers site will be in the future just for android as wp7 is closed os ,and i will be android to get xda support
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Please stop telling BS.

Have a look at the little discussion about the WP7 emulator image, a lot of stuff in there is similar to WM6.5, so there's a lot of "openness" to hacks...
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
iam wating
[HD2 General] rickyoon.vegas:
XDA is gonna pull through for us one way or another.

You have my word.
[HD2 General] smeddy:
:)

If HTC calls time on Sense for WM, I hope they will unlock some of the features so we can customise it (e.g. new/unlimited tabs)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] livingspring:
When I slide the keyboard on my touch pro2 out and slide it back in it turns the phone off?Any ideas why and has anyone experienced same?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rusreid:
Mine does it as well...pretty sure it only does it while in sms/mms though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Joe USer:
Battery

Check the seating of the battery. I have not had a keyboard reboot since I took the battery out and firmly replaced it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Badwolve1:
Mine don't do it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Speadge:
had this as well; thought it is caused by the rom; did a MTTY and else... didnt help... will check the battery now; any other ideas?

what roms do you guys use?

i had the problem on vakyrie rim by agent_47.

testing NRG's roms now....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] daviboy:
i had same problem with mine, sent it back to the seller, their fix was wedging a piece of paper between the top of the battery and the fone so its more snug. It cut down the turning off by a lot, but still once in a blue moon it does it.

So yes, just fold a small piece of paper and wedge it at the top of the fone battery so it puts more pressure on the battery contacts and see what results you will get.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Fin9ers:
Strange...

I had this problem when I first got my Rhodium.

It stopped once I flashed a custom ROM on it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jago-k1:
My phone does the exact same thing. When I run Android it won't do it at all so it must be a software glitch.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] marduk79:
how weird is that. I've never experienced any issue like that whatsoever. I would try with a custom rom to see if the issue persists
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kerrkj:
I've had this happen numerous times, I've found that simply closing the keyboard "gently", cushioning the last millimeter or two with my thumb, makes it not happen. Hard "sanpping" the thing closed seems to trigger it reliably. Likely a loose battery connection issue. I've tried reseating the battery, no real change.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] demandarin:
Im so glad im not the only one. lmao Yeah, if i let the keyboard slam shut, it will power down. So now i gently let it close back shut. Ima try that paper wedge to see if that does anything. Glad to know im not alone in this issue though. :p
[HD2 General] Beefheart:
My HD2 was developing an issue with it's screen, white patches were appearing. So I sent it off to O2 to be repaired, and while the problem has been fixed, it's been returned with a non-glass screen with no diamond shaped etching on it like I had on the original.

Anyone else had this?
[HD2 General] pkchips:
what do you mean by diamond shaped etching? and is it still multitouch?
[HD2 General] Beefheart:
If you look closely on the HD2, the screen has fine diagonal lines etched on the glass which cross making what appears to be diamond shapes on the screen. The screen on mine isn't glass now, it's plastic and those fine lines aren't there. I was just wondering if anyone else had had a repair and had the same thing happen.

It is still mutlitouch. I'm just trying to decide if I should complain.
[HD2 General] HelloWorld3:
Are there any other notable differences? Is it more easily scratched, less transparent, more reflective, etc.?

If so, then yes, you should definitely complain.
[HD2 General] bkar89:
as plastic is alot more prone to scratches, i would complain...
[HD2 General] pkchips:
I understand this must be really annoying for you, but tbh I find it really interesting.

Is your new screen still capacitive? Does a normal stylus or other object still work on it? (ie. is it still resistive?)

I never realised you could get multitouch plastic screens....
[HD2 General] orouborus:
i would definitely file a complain. you bought your hd2 with a glass screen and its weird that its plastic. yes there are diamond shaped etchings in the glass screen.

so all capacitive screens should be glass covered? hmm... interesting.
[HD2 General] CyberSniper:
I had mine repaired and yes, the lines seem to be gone. I think this has to do with the improved hardware and not because its plastic.
[HD2 General] un1ucky:
f*ck that. complain, you bought the hd2 and you want it back the same way you bought it.
[HD2 General] FloatHeavy:
WHOA!

This is either a HUGE insight to something about the amount of screen blotches being received.

or

You are dealing with a crappy fix.

I honestly have never heard of a PLASTIC CAPACITIVE LENS!?!?!

Will this be a common resolution to HD2 shatter/blotch?
[HD2 General] Oberoth:
there are capacative screens with plastic face...

the samsung f480 has one either
[HD2 General] jcbofkc:
Hmmm

Battle to the finish.
[HD2 General] Beefheart:
That's good to know, maybe I'm wrong about it being plastic although it doesn't feel the same. Is your's definitely still glass?
[HD2 General] troed:
Why not post some pics here ? Wanna see it. Best would be to do the pics in various angles to a light source to see what consistency it has ............
[HD2 General] Hoodeddeathman:
I noticed the diamond etchings on my HD2 straight out of the box brand new, still glass though.

:)
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
may be we should look at tmob us screen and see it's type
[HD2 General] Halle:
All capacitivie screens are made of glass - or else the technology wouldn't work since its basically a grid with electric current covering the screen, and this grid you disturb with your fingers. Plastic is NOT leading electricity so it would not work. And btw, the Samsung F480 has a Resistive touchscreen.
[HD2 General] Sc4Freak:
That's not strictly true. Neither glass nor plastic conduct electricity - but both act as a dielectric for electrostatic fields. A capacitive touch screen can theoretically work with either plastic or glass (or even air), because capacitive touch doesn't actually require that you touch the screen.
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
glass conduct electricity
[HD2 General] Beefheart:
Strictly speaking, hardly anything conducts no electricity, it's just a question of a material's resistance and therefore the amount.
[HD2 General] giegi_dc:
Pagnell, please, could you post some pics?
[HD2 General] pkchips:
Pagnell: Do non-conductive objects, like a pen or normal stylus, work on the screen?

When you use your finger on the screen, is it as sensitive to your touch as it used to be?

It might be that they gave you a new, higher quality screen. Please let us know if its still capacitive by testing with a non conductive object.
[HD2 General] Beefheart:
I have just checked again in a very bright room and there are some lines there so apologies for that. However, I know for a fact they are a lot fainter than my previous screen before the repair, the lines on that were very prominent and could be easily seen which is why I didn't think this one had them. Under normal light the lines on this screen cannot be seen unlike before the repair.

I wonder if CyberSniper's is the same and he just hasn't noticed the lines?
[HD2 General] madbird:
hi,

you are right, there are different versions of the hd2 display. maybe because of different fabs or manufactures. in very bright light you can see the difference of the screens.

and about the 'glass' thing, its a myth that capazitiv displays has to be made from glass. it true in the beginning of the development on these technic. take a look at this video (timecode 3:50) , there you can see that even the iphone has a plastic screen, i dont think glass wil melt down like this?.

regards mad
[HD2 General] optimus82:
Have you touched a nexus one before? They say its made of glass, but it feels like plastic. I dont have a hd2 but was planning on getting one on tmo us and was hoping they used a thicker screen
[HD2 General] DavidC1980:
If the screen is now plastic, I would expect your phone to be a lot lighter than it used to be. Weight it and let us know the new weight after the repair. That should answer the question quite conclusively.
[HD2 General] CyberSniper:
They are indeed a lot fainter. Not totally gone, but compared with the original screen they do appear to be gone. If i hadn't noticed those lines on the original touch panel, I probably won't even notice the lines on the replaced screen. The tiny dots are still there though.
[HD2 General] mobilemaduk:
The Pre is plastic and capacitive
[HD2 General] Thamun:
Well, the iphone HAS a glass screen. The reason it looks like it´s melting plastic is because the thin layer of glass on top is shattered, and it sticks to the LCD underneath which IS melting.
[HD2 General] mhmobile:
Mine's at the service center right now for a non responsive screen. I'd be very angry if the screen was replaced with any type of plastic model. I haven't had to use a screen protector on my HD like all the PDA's I've had over the years and don't want to start that all over agoan...
[HD2 General] fasty:
Well, I've been pondering buying the HD2 for a long time, but if they have reverted to a plastic screen I won't bother now.

The idea of a hard glass display that was scratch-resistant was one of the major selling features to me.

I presume that this is a cost-saving measure.
[HD2 General] pkchips:
lol!

The original poster has already corrected himself by saying its a glass screen.

Let's stop jumping to conclusions so easily.
[HD2 General] fasty:
erm.. Sorry but I can't immediately see that particular correction.

Pagnell did update us that he can still see the lines albeit not as prominent as before. Not sure about the glass though.

I suppose that if I do buy one by mail order, and it turns out to be plastic, I could always return it for a refund under UK trading laws.
[HD2 General] Halle:
Of course it WON'T be a plastic screen! "Herregud" as we say in swedish... :)
[HD2 General] Beefheart:
Short of dropping it or hitting it with a hammer and seeing if it will crack I have no way of 100% guaranteeing it's a glass screen. However, I now believe I was mistaken and I'm sure it is glass, albeit with less prominent diagonal etching lines.
[HD2 General] fasty:
Thanks for clarifying that...

I'm very reassured !

There is a great guitar tuner app for iPhone but not one for Windows Mobile wiht good graphics and features.

Anyone have any suggestions?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sirphunkee:
Um, actually there's several...a quick google search turned up at least 4 different ones in the first page.

However, the one I believe will be most like what you're looking for is Guitar Suite. It also just happens to be on sale right now, only $3.50.
[S740, S743 General] Jerry-S:
Hi folks, can anyone please help me with this problem?

My brother in law has asked me to look at his S740. He has tried several o2 SIM cards (UK) in this phone but always gets told there is no signal.

Not only that, but there is a symbol where the strength meter should be that isn't documented in the user guide.

He has also tried my o2 (3G) sim and a Vodafone sim, both UK.

Any advice gratefully recieved. We have tried several hard resets also.

Thanks
[S740, S743 General] ombre33:
This means it's looking for signal. My guess: Still SIM-locked?

.-ombre-.
[S740, S743 General] Jerry-S:
Not sure if it's SIM locked as there is a menu to select which carrier to use.

It reads the SIM correctly and sets it all up for o2, but just doesnt get any signal.

Does anyone know where the GSM antenna is on these? Maybe its a bad connection.
[S740, S743 General] Jerry-S:
UPDATE:

I've had a mail back from HTC that recommends I send it in for repair, lol.

Now do I take it they are robbing buggers or do I take it that the icon is an indicator of a hardware fault??

Hmmmm, dilemma. lol

Are there any more suggestions on what it may be?

Has anyone successfully taken one of these apart?
[S740, S743 General] sasiskas:
it may be because of a hardware error...try to connect to a wifi network...if it impossible to find a wifi network then it is due to a harware problem.Most likely because the FR coaxial cable is out of its possision...download the service manual and see how to fix it.
[S740, S743 General] Jerry-S:
Hi sasiskas, it conects fine to my wireless network at home. I take it from your response that the cable serves a double purpose.

I downloaded the service manual so I could take a look, but only got as far as removing the 4 screws at the back. lol, I couldn't figure out how to get it off, lol

I'm still stuck at the assumption that it is indeed SIM locked, and so will try to find a suitable card to try out.
[S740, S743 General] sasiskas:
Try contacting with your phone's provider (shop,e-bay seller whoever it is) and ask him details about the sim.Good luck.
[S740, S743 General] stone81:
hey

im getting the same issue on my girlfriends rose

the hardspl is out now and i have tried to flash the rom to see if this helps but nothing as of yet, it could be the radio rom its self as i have a touch pro and when i first got it it was the same till i flashed a cooked rom onto it, its now working fine for me,

if i find out how to fix this i will leave ya a post
