[HD2 General] DeoreDX:
Any former TP2 owners want to comment on the relative battery life between the two? I don't think it is an issue with me since I am a fairly light user but with the upcoming US release I'm sure there will be plenty of people looking for this info as well and hopefully this thread will answer most of their questions about the TP2 v. HD2 (My searching on these forums lead to some comparisons but the information was pretty spread out in the forums and took a lot of digging to look up)
[HD2 General] JeeVee:
I love my TP2 and HD2

I have tweaked my TP2 (WM6.5) using all the tweaks of my HD2. Now I have a HD2 Mini with WVGA. I love the TP2 for the keyboard. Typing on a HD2 is less comfortable. Now I have all the 'goodies' of the TP2 combined with the superb user interface of the HD2.:)

The tweaked TP2 is as responsive as the HD2, despite its lower speed. The touch screen is very good and precise by use of a stylus or my finger......:confused: Radio of the TP2 is a little more sensitive. :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA General] grego442:
I have been trying to find a way to back up an app named Alice, you input your favorite bands and it lists their gigs in order of how close they are to your location. I have used Titanium to back it up, but when I restore the back up, none of the artist information that I had entered is there. Someone please tell me that I won't have to reenter all of the musicians everytime I update a rom!

P.S. First post, been using the site for a while. A MILLION THANKS to all of the devs, customizers and board members. I have learned so much from all y'all!
[Hero CDMA General] mimoba:
Titanium backup

Use titanium backup to backup prefs and data if u have android phone
[Hero CDMA General] grego442:
Let me be more specific about what I have tried:

When i am running my everyday rom (pancake 0.1), The symbol in Titanium indicates that it has backed up Application+Data+market entry for Alice.

Been playing around with Fresh 2.0. Downloaded Titanium on that rom, restored the Alice app with data through titanium, but none of the artist data transfered.
[Hero CDMA General] grego442:
Don't tell me I've stumped the great minds of xda! I thought it was such a noob question. :p
[Hero CDMA General] KyleIsTheBeast:
Hmm... I know many ways you can back-up apps. As for backing up data INSIDE of an app, you can't do it unless the app has it built in... Let me download this app and see what I can do. I will BRB with more
[Hero CDMA General] KyleIsTheBeast:
Ok, so here what you are going to need to do. Go to http://last.fm and sign up. You then need to list all of your artists on that account. NOW You can just install the app and enter in your lastFM username and it will add all of your artists. ALSO, This app auto-scans your SD Card for artists (Which is actually very useful) anyways, hope this helped a little.
[Hero CDMA General] grego442:
Thanks a bunch! That will fix it!

Don't know why I didn't think about going the last.fm route.

If some can please provide me with the following links to get this work.

Sappimg.zip/nbh File LINK?

update.zip LINK?

Thank you so much for helping a noob.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] phantommusik:
There should be a little more info about that error other than failed update. Possibly MODEL ID INCORRECT, or MAIN VERSION OLDER... Something along those lines. That will give us a better idea of what needs to happen. I would also recommend searching for that SPL to see if anyone has actually beaten that one. I've never seen that one before...

EDIT: I would recommend checking the development section. I just noticed that you are running a LE Fender. I have seen very few people able to actually get that running on a custom ROM without losing some major functionality.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bossman101:
Correct I have a mytouch 1.2 with the 3.5 headphone jack which is the same as a fender from what I've read on the forums. The exact error I get is:

FAILED "MODEL ID INCORRECT"
[HD2 General] matthewharmon102:
sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, but i couldnt find it using the search. ive installed Toms ROM v2.2 and im very happy with it so far, but it seems to have removed some apps that i used that are included in the stock 1.66 ROM. does anyone have the cabs for the origional apps? the main ones im missing are the worldcard reader and adobe reader, but if you have the cabs for all the apps then this would be very useful!
[HD2 General] matthewharmon102:
no knows where i can find the cabs??:(
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Often chefs will offer CABs of the programs they've removed in their ROM thread. Otherwise there's a thread in the apps section with cabs for the apps extracted from the stock HD2, but you'll have to search, I don't have a link handy.

Or, just change ROM to one that has what you need.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] claudefrog:
Quick question,

I am running a Orange HTC Hero that I originally rooted and tried a few ROMS on, I then did the recent Orange update and this won't allow the use of Flashrec so why can't I just flash the original release and put it back to standard so to speak.

Currently running 2.73.61.66 but obviously need to get back to 2.73.61.5.

Is ther a fix apart from downgrading using the Goldcard method?

Hi All,

I need to buy a new phone but am confused within these 3 phones: iphone 3gs, HTC HD2 and the Nexus one.

My typical use would be surfing,music,pictures and videos, facebook/twitter along with finding and using some nice apps n games.

Which one do you guys suggest ?

Thanks
[General Topics] Rudegar:
they would all manage that
[General Topics] ybyb:
Thanx Rudegar for the reply.

I know they all would manage that, guess thats why i came down to all 3.

I really like the HD2 but i have been reading posts that its slow and sluggish when there are more mp3's and sms's loaded into it. is that a generic bug or specific to something faulty ?

Now since WM7 is coming up will new apps and games coming up support WM6.5 ?

Thanks for answering my queries.
[General Topics] Fallen Spartan:
Why not throw the HTC Desire into the mix

If it was me I'd go for one of the HTC devices as you'll get support from XDA ;)

As for which device, you need to decide on whether you want WM or Android.....once you've made that decision the choice is simple

[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
Is this the exact wording of the error? Sounds a little weird...

When does it happen

- during boot

- when OS is up

- when you switch on Radio (what happens in Flight mode)?

How did you "unlock"?
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
Look up the forum using your error as a key. Your problem can be tracked back to an unsuccesful unlock. Take care to find the original lock-backup.bin if you used lokiwiz. I don't know yet another method to recover.

Hi,

Wellcome!

I'm using and recommended Miri's ROM :

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Julian2103:
Yes but in terms of performance and visual effects, is there really a big incentive as to switching to cooked ROMs?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sabes143:
Hi

Make sure you have the HSPL on your device before you try any cooked roms. Also there are SSPL, Goldcard available . You have to read the sticky threads before you try to flash. You are warned without above you might brick your device.

good luck
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Julian2103:
I think im gonna try the artemis 5.5. Good feedback on that? Yes ive done the app steps:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] EddyOS:
quick tip - never use the sd card method to flash a phone, you're more likely to brick it or, worse, put an SPL that can't be rolled back. ALWAYS use HSPL and flash via ActiveSync/WMDC
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Julian2103:
KAV2010 keeps deleting HSPL as soon as I unzip it. Geez..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Julian2103:
I flashed a cooked rom thru the Spl method. Now my phone is unable to boot. I am unable to perform hard rest. What should i do?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] icsulescu:
It depends on the ROM you have installed but is more like you have to install radio 2.08 or 2.07 the 2.10 roms are radio dependant.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Julian2103:
How do I do that now that my phone cant boot?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Please keep the questions in 1 thread. This makes 3 now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] icsulescu:
He is desperate bro..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] philcat:
If you've got HSPL on, just turn your phone off, battery out if necessary. Then replace battery, hold down volume down button and press the power button (end call). It will boot into bootloader, then you can use custom RUU to put another radio on, try 2.08.50.08_2 That is a guess as to the right radio, but might help you out.

PS Sternas says he uses 2.06.51.07 radio in his Artemis ROM, so try that one.

the official youtube app has been updated with a more finger friendly home screen. along with the ability to login to your youtube account. haven't seen if video streaming quality is any better since i'm at work and 3G signal is a little weak inside this building.

don't bother trying through the Opera brwoser though. the page throws a "device not supported" message on it and wants to direct you to youtube's mobile web page

instead go through the internet explorer and everything will download and install smoothly with no issues.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] 00tj00:
DO NOT DO THIS!!!

Its a serious step down in video quality and options. Plus it uninstalls the stock version without telling you it is going to.

Ya... great... i can log in now.... woopdy freaking do.

That said. Does anyone have the cab so i can go back to the stock version?

You should check the settings.

Go to your Messaging application.

Settings.

Notification Settings.

Vibrate <= that is the one you want to check.

Last night I was going to bed and tried to set up an alarm for the morning after. I then noticed that my PDA doesn't respond to touches. Everything else works just fine. There are some ripples on the screen and they can be noticed if you view it at a low angle. Here's how it looks:

As a new user I'm not allowed to post a link so here is the image address-> img694.imageshack.us/i/csc0717.jpg

The devise hasn't been abuse in any way. It hasn't been exposed to high nor too low temperatures(outside yesterday evening was around -2 ~ -3 degrees Celsius). Although I think that the short call I made(less than 10 seconds) couldn't have been enough to let the cold damage it. After and before that it has been in my trousers pocket.

Can anyone tell me what could have done this?

P.S. Digitizer - my mistake :)
[Touch Cruise General] kulen:
Can't tell you what is the problem with your device but if it's digitizer you can get a cheap one here http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.32150

it's just you have to wait a few weeks for it to come (at least I had to with some other things I bought on DX)

and I didn't buy this digitiser so I can't tell you more about it.
[Touch Cruise General] depeche101:
Hi!

have you put the screen protector on it anytime recently? If so, remove it and try again. I had this also once - bought and screen protector from the local HTC dealer, put it on (done it always so it wasn't the first time) and after a while I had the same problem as you. I did everyhting, hard resets, put a new ROM on..nothing. I also noticed the "oily spots" so I was frustrated. Finally I removed the protector and all of the sudden everything worked again.

I then bought a new protector and put it on very gently, I almost didn't push the portector on the screen and it works again. Still don't know if it was just a bad protector or what ws wrong. Try it..much simpler and easier than to go for a new digitizer.

dep@polaris
[Touch Cruise General] nhadjinikolov:
The last time I've put a new one was November and to be honest I didn't expect it to last this long... after all a six-pack cost about $4

Can't try it now though cause the device is still in warranty and I returned in the shop for repair. I'm going to phone the guys there and inform them and I hope it works, cause they said that the problem is from the OS and reinstalling it will fix the problem. Don't think that it'll help but after giving it to them it's their problem to fix it :) I just want it working and if possible - faster :)

P.S. Did your digitizer stopped working at all or you'd have to push really hard to respond?
[Touch Cruise General] nycBulent:
I have the same problem, I heated the screen with a air blower and the screen started responding. I don t think it is a permanent repair but at least it saves the day. This is my first day of repair so I don't know how long it will last.

End of april I tried extreme heat and cold on the screen and all of a sudden it started responding again. I still have that oily look on the lcd but it is working properly for almost 2 months now.

Anyone has this problem? I find sometimes my Leo automatically switches off. Quite a perplexing predicament.
[HD2 General] elyl:
Like, turns off completely, so you have to press the power button to reboot it?

Or the screen goes off, and you need to turn it on and unlock the screen?

If it's the first one, is your battery running out of charge?

If it's the second one, that's normal.
[HD2 General] Julian2103:
It's the first, and no its not because the battery is low:)
[HD2 General] MalekoUK:
Happens to me sometimes. Some people call it the sleep of death :P

What rom version you on?
[HD2 General] tonarm:
Had that either. Didn´t do it for a long time now and I think it was because of the leather case. I always pushed in the hd2 with the buttons on the bottom and I think they were pressed for a long time. Maybe they shut down the phone when they are pressed too long ??? I now slip in the phone with the buttons to the open side and since then it didn´t shut down by itself.

Sorry. Hope my german english doesn´t sound too silly :-D
[HD2 General] Julian2103:
Yes that is what I suspected too. I was onthe official 1.48 ROM btw. now i flashed the new Cleanex ROM v4. so far so good. we'll see:)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rashid11:
Folx,

I got bitten by the rooting bug. However, as I do use the phone quite a bit, I want to play it safe , so that if the ROMs I am about to try, don't quite work out, I want to get back to stock img and the apps I have and the settings I have etc.

So - as I perform Nandroid backup - does it backup everything ? In other words, if/when I have to restore from the said backup, will I get EVERYTHING back - all the apps and settings, as if nothing has changed ?

Or will I have to reinstall and configure all the apps anew ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueScreenJunky:
Yes, you will get your apps and settings back.

However I think it doesn't backup other partitions like "radio", because I recently had a problem with my radio and nandroid restore didn't help, I had to flash it again. Anyway, yes, as far as apps, settings, SMS, contacts etc. are concerned you're good.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deprecate:
It creates img files of boot, data, system (and your ext partition on your sd card if you are using one). Anything found in those will be imaged and backed up. It is way too dangerous and pointless to backup the radio. Radio isn't a partition btw.

Don't confuse nandroid backups with other (titanium for example) backups that can carry your settings from one rom to another...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpgdev:
So I have to have the radio image in order to safely restore a NANDROID backup? This thread is old and I don't know if things have changed by now...

PS: Unsure if I have to start a new thread to get an answer to this...

If you won't have a radio image intact, your phone won't boot at all. It won't even turn on.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] John North:
Hi, I've always had Windows phones going right back to the very first XDA, apart from a break of about six months when I tried the HTC Hero. It was a great phone apart from the lack of mature apps for it, so I came back to Windows and now have an HD2. It's great, but I miss two simple things. The Hero used to have a very elegant countdown timer with rolling cylinders like a fruit machine. This was very finger-friendly, unlike the "Simple Timer", found elsewhere on this forum. The stopwatch was equally easy to use with the Hero screen.

Does anyone have these timers in Windows, or know how to get them?

P.S. The Simple Timer is fine as far as it goes, but difficult to set using the finger - I think it was written for a stylus-operated screen. If the boxes were bigger it would probably be OK, but I don't know how to make them bigger.

Any help with either issue would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks.
