Anyone got a photo of the HD2 Martin Fields protectors on the phone, to get an idea of fit - got the HTC ones and they were terrible but would ultimately like one to be on the safe side...
[HD2 Accessories] fantasytozi:
Here u go. My lovely HD2 with Martin Fields on it. 30% backlight, very clear, isnt it?:D
[HD2 Accessories] A|ex:
Is Martin Fields better than the official HTC one as i ordered myself 4 and they seems good so not sure what i will do with the other 3.

[HD2 Accessories] Procesme:
So, after all, there isn't much difference between the different brands (Martin Fiels, Exim, Brando)?
[HD2 Accessories] MrDerrickC:
I can't comment on how the others that you mentioned performs as I have never used them. What I can say is that the exim does not reduce sensitivity, I had a normal cheap one on and I couldn't stand it as the screen was desensitised.
[HD2 Accessories] tunppi:
well I can tell you about different screen protectors.

i had invisible shield on my hd for 1 and half year, no visible scratches, now changed screen part to htc branded, it has been for one week and there is 7 very visible deep scratches.

same time that i bought htc branded for hd i bought brando ultraclear for hd2 and it has not even slightest mark, even that it has had much more usage than hd. also had same brando on my htc wizard for 2years and it got 2 very small marks.

martin shields is about the same that brando, maybe even better, had one on my diamond. but brando is better fit i think.

i recommend brando or martin, they are superior to any other. zagg invisible is god but its kinda sluggish for first 2months when brando, martin are very slicky nice.

cheap protectors like htc are BAD if one package has more than one it cant be good since even they dont trust their own product.

hey, my volume buttons are broken, (great since i wanted to buy a new phone as of late :D ) but i was wondering, is there any way to enter bootloader without the vol down button?

Grateful for any help on this.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] m_damyanov:
If I remember right, If you want to flash stock ROM, all you need to do is connect your phone in activesync mode and start the RUU. The RUU will then take care of switching the phone to bootloader and flashing. And keeping in mind that most stock ROM packeges contain radio and SPL you will have a brand new phone :) (except for the volume buttons)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
m_damyanov is right, running the ruu will put the device into bootloader mode. Another option which I read somewhere, but have not tried - if you run the CustomRUU, the files get unpacked in the folder on your pc. One of the files "unpacked" is EnterBootloader.exe - I believe you can copy this to your device and run it from the sd card.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hybridb:
Hello,

Me and my trusty G1 have recently moved out of the US. Im running CM's latest, and just like the stock ROM, phone numbers stored in the phone have the xxx-xxx-xxxx US format. This format does not apply to most countries outside of the US. So here when someone calls (or when im trying to add a new contact) phone numbers tend to look weird since phone numbers here have an XX-XXX-XXX format (8 digits total), and so they end up showing as XXX-XXX-XX, which is just confusing.

So in short, is there any way to stop the dashes from showing up in the call log/ caller id/adding new contact form??

Thanks alot!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hybridb:
No one has the same problem or has heard of a fix to this???
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiznom:
Hi, my G1 & I moved out of the US recently, too. The way I did it was to change all the numbers while logged in to Gmail in my browser. It was tedious but it lets you use a proper keyboard and mouse instead of trying to do it on the phone. All you really need to do is type the new prefix/country code once, and then cut and paste it in front of all the US numbers. Gmail will then just push it out to the phone right away. Hope this helps...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hybridb:
My biggest concern isn't fixing the already existing numbers in my phone book. My concern is when adding a new number or when someone not in my phone book calls, the number looks confusing because of the existence of the dashes.

But thanks anyway for your suggestion.

Sorry to bump an old thread but i'm having exactly the same problem and its driving me mad :( I cant get MyLocale 2 working, it doesn't take the dashes from my numbers
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aygunes:
Old thread, but might help someone: I also had the dash problem although in Gmail my contacts had no dashes. Changing the locale from US to UK removed the dashes for me (Home/Settings/Locale and Text/Select locale/ English (UK)).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adimcx:
Thanks aygunes, this is a realy easy solution to have the numbers format without dashes. ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E:V:A:
Find a way to export your contacts to a CSV file or a single vCARD file. Then you can just use something like a shell command:

cat file.csv | tr -d '-' > cleanfile.csv

or just edit the resulting file with any text editor and import back. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1417184

[EDIT] I forgot that probably ALL phone numbers are stored without dashes in the (latest) contacts database.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gustavct:
I have a similar issue. I'm in Brazil and I'm using a Galaxy S 3 that I bought in US. Our numbers are stored as (XXX)prefix-XXXX-XXXX.

When I receive a sms or a call it doesnt show my contact name... only the numbers. How can I change this?

A friend has a S3 he bought in here... when he dials any number they appear without dashes and spaces like this XXXXXXXX. When I dial it appears XX XXXX-XX.

Anyone could help?

First of all I use the search from xda-forum to look at this. I know how to find my reg files using \\Plugins. But when I'm in the original Windows Explore and wan to open a zip file Total Commander opens. I can open it and double tap the cab file but nothing happends. Is there a way to open zip files just like it did before having Total Commander. Now I'm just installing and uninstalling it all the time. If you've not noticed I'm a rookie.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
You would have to extract the file from WinZip to run it.

It won't run from WinZip
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Ciedric:
Oke so I must extract it just like on a PC.

The stock zip file opener doesn't extract the zip file into another folder like Total Commander does.

It just opens the zipe file, search your file you want to open and it opens it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
You have to unzip from menu, or hold down on item until menu appears.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ciedric:
Isn't it a idea to make a list of the costom ROM's you can get on this forum for your Topaz.

Some short information what you can do with the ROM, what does it change if you compaire it with the stock rom, etc, etc.

If you change this into a sticky everbody can quickly see what kind of ROM's are available for your Topaz.

As a rookie in this world I really like to see all of the ROM's but wich one should I take, there is to much information on a lot of different pages.

If you don't agree this plan, this post can be deleted. Just searching for easy start up's for beginners like me. I allready found the page how to flash your device, it's clearly

Yes I saw that even before posting it. The thing is there are a lot of ROMS so putting it up in a sticky isn't that easy to over see it all. At the moment there is no quick comparing, etc.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
The mods unstuck it because there were too many sticky threads, they consolidated them into the one that is mentioned by ThrashMan.

It was an executive decision. :D

You are more than welcome to update the existing one with newer ROMs but please stick to the format.

I just got my tmobile tp2 with the official 6.5 rom installed. First of all I am a noob so I'd prefer to ask than destroy my phone. I didnt like the original tmobile background so i changed it to a picture from my memory card. The question i'd like to ask is how come on the background already on the phone, when you have it in portraint you can see it fully, and when you have it landscape you can see if fully, but when i set one of my pictures to use as the background, i can see it fully in protrait but when in landscape, it doesnt expand to the entire screen but would rather show up as tiles. How do i make it to where it expands like the one they have preinstalled on the phone? where do i go to pic the picture for the landscape mode? thanks in advance :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sirphunkee:
That's about as far as you'll get with the built-in wallpaper changer in WM, it doesn't really give you a lot of options.

However, XDA has it's usual magic bag of tricks to pull out here, and the one you need in this case is called HDWalls, give it a look. Basically, it will let you create wallpapers that are cropped the way you want in landscape mode, as well as ones that will appear on ALL tabs (not just home), and it can even skin the taskbar at the top and the softkey-bar at the bottom, to match your chosen wallpaper. You can also select separate wallpapers for portrait and landscape modes.

It's a lot of fun once you use it once and get used to it, it's not nearly as complicated as it might look. If you have any problems, PM me and I'll help get you pointed in the right direction.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] kvnly2:
alright! ill give it a try and see how it goes! thanks so much! :D

I know there's a great number of people out there that does not like the overall look of the WP7 UI. With this poll I wanna know how many people doesn't like the WP7 look. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] gogol:
I will vote for "SIMPLE" ...

Yeah, it is not ugly, because I like it.

And it is not beautiful, because ... it is not.

But, it is simple and clean.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
i voted for beautiful, because there is not an "OK" option.

its not ugly, but not perfect, thats why they should add the possibility for custom UI's.

lets hope that our opinions on this poll reach microsoft..

Seriously, those black-white or white-black or black-blue and similar are very well working, but not eyecandy as I like (I was editing 4 hours icons in Manila rather than using stock gray ones!)

Some nice orange and (TMobile branded WP7 phone? PINK! :D) other colors would be better and IMHO better readable than that blue.
[Windows Phone 7 General] skr_xd:
WM6.5.x or more than that the abandoned photon, rebuilt with silverlight and XNA support would have been my best preference.

Not the present W(I)Phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Alexander-HTC:
HTC has very gorgeous design. They really invested a lot of time making different animations, especially weather.

rosoft on the other hand choose very different approach

MAKING OS LOOK UNFINISHED. I GOT A FEELING THAT DESIGNERS COULDNT CHANGE THE FONT TO FIT THE SCREEN

they also didn't capitalize any words like the month or the day
[Windows Phone 7 General] krjcook:
In my opinion the core of the OS looks better; menus, etc. But the App menu and Home screen looks ugly.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
HTC made WM look a lot better with sense but It'll be no longer needed. I like the new UI and won't mind throwing my sense away to get it. Long as I can see the weather, time, missed calls, and messages all at the same time it's a win for me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Same here. In addition, 2K files in LUA (:eek:), without APIs, no hooks or placeholders for anything third-party/additional isn't the right way to do homescreen UI. I loved to use Sense because it was better than anything available but it sucked in more than one way.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mostafa0007:
Windows Phone 7 is the most stupid system I have ever seen !

Is Microsoft is so stupid ? I wonder !

-No Support for any devices before !

-No Multitasking ! after multitasking was the mark of Microsoft !

-No Copy... Cut... Paste ! What more ? maybe no writing on the future !

-No UI Customization from companies ! They want you to stuck on the stupid UI which it doesn't show the full name of menu ! for God sake tell me what is the beauty of menu you can't see the full name of it ? what a Smart !

The World is going to forward and Microsoft is going to dark ages !
[Windows Phone 7 General] emmarbee:
Great UI. But I don't like the home screen. Its so ... iphonish. No eyecandies, straight on to functions. Navigating through the menus looks better (since its more of zune os)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Scotsman828:
I really believe the Zune OS being retrofited for smart phones is a waste of time. After the phones begin to roll out and people actually get hands on experience and the hype fades. This entire concept will go down in flames. Windows Phone 7 Series can no longer be classified as a smart phone, they will simply be mutimedia phones. What this boils down to is Microsoft using the Zune OS as a way to generate more revenue through Zune Pass.

I go to a store and buy music on CD with high quality audio then convert to a high quality mp3 and then put it on my phone. I don't buy crappy low quality mp3's from Zune or any other source.

Guess I'll be jumping ship to Android until Microsoft gets it head out of the sand.
[Windows Phone 7 General] havox22:
i voted beautiful but only cuz i dont think its ugly, but its not beautiful either you should have added another option

And

and WP7 UI is a huge **** for me!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Divine_Madcat:
For all the fawning over the UI, i feel like I am in the minority saying this, but I think the looks are some of the worst I have ever seen.

Aside from the entire thing lacking any personality (plain, borring squares), I cannot stand how the layout scrolls over one or more pages. I can't believe that nobody else minds the text being unreadable as it falls off the edge or the bottom of the page, but it drives me batty.

Sure, 6.5 really does have its flaws; but it also really feels like what a good PDA device should feel like - a miniaturized computer. Just from looks alone, i know that any old 6.5 (or 6.1) device i have kicking around will be infinitely more productive that this new 7 junk...
[Windows Phone 7 General] WhyBe:
I would have voted beautiful, but I chose beatiful instead since beautiful wasn't a choice ;)

I love the way the UI uses lots of big-sized words instead of icons/symbols. I love the big and active tiles constantly providing information. The big tiles should be an easier target to touch while on the go also. The WP7 UI kind of reminds me of Windows Media Center on the desktop. I don't really care for the light blue/green, but I'm sure I'll be able to change it to something sexier.

I've used the Sense Leo ROM on my TP2 and while sense is very pretty looking, I find it to not be very productive. I have to do too much pressing and sliding to get to what I want to get to. I ended up going back to the regular Titanium interface after about a month just so my phone use could be more efficient. I like being able to get to different parts of my phone quickly. All the WP7 UI needs is some transparency and animated backgrounds that change during the day. Even the Sense weather animations would be cool.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chiks19018:
I liked the OS as such, but with these limitations that even the normal consumer uses, I have a new landscape home page for the WP7...the donkey tiles....
[Windows Phone 7 General] sm3rtlag3l:
It has no landscape mode for the home screen!! OMG one more no-go for me.

Anyway, it looks good but it doesn't work cause it's crippled like a stupid iPhone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] johnlujl123:
Almost 50-50 %!!!

:) Hah, very very interesting! I knew it beforehand. I knew that not everyone likes the look of WP7 UI. Based on this stat, like this poll, I can say that, after it's launched, WP7 won't be everyone's favorite or as successful as iPhone, as it was in the beginning after the launch in 2007. :rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 General] palladium46:
Its hideous. I was very excited about Windows Mobile 7, especially all the wonderful development tools, but I don't think the mainstream is going to like this phone. The default calender along with many of the other default applications look awful when compared to the iPhone, Maemo or Android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
This poll doesn't mean squat in terms of WP7 market acceptance. There are too many people here used to WM. I haven't seen a single "normal", i.e. non-geek person who didn't like this new UI. I'm sure such will exist but it's nowhere near 50/50 in real life I'm sure. Especially since people start getting used to chromeless non-faux-3D stuff.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Livven:
It's really a unique and innovating design, no doubt, and in most cases it looks really great, especially in the panoramic hubs. But for some things, like the keyboard or dialer, this simplistic and completely chromeless look is just extremely ugly... some subtle gradients and drop shadows there would not destroy the overall look and feel.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Seraph321:
Comments like this are hilarious to me. WP7 is likely the most design-oriented product Microsoft has ever created. The amount of research and design iterations that just went into the decision to "not bother capitalizing any words" would likely outweigh anything HTC has done. (btw, my understanding is that people read and understand all lowercase much faster and it gives the phone a less formal feel) Not to say I don't like Sense, but WP7 is really operating at a different level of sophistication.

And I still see complaints about 'text running off the screen'. Did it hold back the usability of the Zune HD? It's not even text you're trying to read at the time, it's used for navigation. It's used to add affordance and keep the user grounded in the current context. It's not like you have to scroll in all directions to read your mail, but the subtitle of the next page is partially on the first page so you know that second page is there and you can get to it without needing a special button. And again, this is not a design decision someone made on a whim, it's been tested and agonized over. Every pixel and every millisecond of animation is tightly controlled.

Obviously you can criticize from a design perspective, but I consistently see people dismissing things as some kind of unintentional mistakes. What do you think goes on inside these teams? People are strange.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mdmogren:
The home screen is very ugly and has a TON of wasted space, the rest looks great.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kanwal236:
so you're saying the decisions they made to try to mimic the iphone by taking away the things that most people loved about windows mobile will will the device? no multi-tasking, no micro-sd, no customization by htc? what the hell, i like my touch pro 2, i've tried out iPhone interface on it, HTC's, Windows Mobile 6.5's original interface, and will try the android interface soon, but that makes me one of the tech savy. Taking it from the perspective of someone who isn't tech savy and they ask you, what reasons do i have to choose a windows phone 7 over the iPhone, all the advantages microsoft had over the iPhone will be gone, there is no incentive left for a consumer to choose a windows phone 7 over the iPhone other than:

hype or excitement over a "new" device vs iphone which is outdated

its not apple

different interface than iphone

everything else is out the window, i'd rather just get a few HD2's and after a while, upgrade on over to android or symbian, something that allows me to do what isn't inside microsoft's 2 inch thinking
