You can run any app you like whilst in a call. Just press the home button to go to the home tab, and continue from there, or press the windows button for the start menu. The phone application is just that - an application - so it can be run in the background like any other app.

In answer to the OP, I let my friends who have iPhones use my phone as a wifi router when they have connection problems. But the coolest thing is the screen. Every other phone user I've shown it to has had the same look on their face. A mixture of amazement, envy and shame (at their own screen).

How to create this connection??

Hi, could you tell me what you need to set this up. I really like to have access to my home pc-shared folders when on Wifi, but I can't seem to find a (good) tutorial how to set this up. Do you need a special (paid) server or can this connection be established on a home pc (Windows XP)? If so, are there some guidelines on how to create this connection. The main reason this is interesting is I wanna have access to 20+ GB of music and 10+ GB of photo's. I dunno if VLC player is used only for the webcam because I don't really care about the webcam-connection, though it's kinda cool to be able to see your pet in real life. Thanks for sharing!!
[HD2 General] cubalibre79:
Hei bramg, here is a quick reply.

First you need to have File Sharing working on tht PC where the files you want to access are. If you don't know how to do this, try searching for "Enable file and printer sharing" in google.

Once you have file sharing active and working, you can access those shared folders with File Explorer. (in order for this to work, both your PC and your PDA should be connected to the same WLAN)

- open file explorer

- menu

- go to

- open path

- new path

then type: \\name of the pc where files are\

for example, \\PC1\

Then you should be able to see and brwose all your shared folders on that pc.

I hope you can make it work. Post back if you need more assistance with this topic.

Easiest way i have found to access my PC is using Resco Explorer, You can map the share folder and browse it easily through the explorer... :D
[HD2 General] bramgg:
Thanks!

I've softresetted and now I have it fully working! Never thought this was so simple to set up.
[HD2 General] cubalibre79:
Resco explorer and/or HTC network plugin would work, BUT, you'd still need to access the pc where the shared folders are, either by PC name, or by IP address before you can actually make it work.

Could your firewall software be blocking connections?

Are you actually sharing any files at all? try opening windows explorer in the PC and type in the address bar: \\"type-here-the-pc-name". You should then see the files you are sharing on that pc.

I'd rather have a smaller number of decent apps than 100,000 apps which only 10% are useful, the other 90% of "Fart noise" or "boob jiggling" apps and the like, just don't attract my interest.

i do agree that so many of the available apps are novelty ones, however there are some good ones as well, and its the support and choice i would like to have as opposed to the total lack provided by microsoft.

isn't the HD a wonderful phone !!

moved to it from an i900 which i thought was a good phone until the HD came along.

i read a lot of e books on it and the screen size saved me from going down the sony e book reader route. fredabooks is a great prog as well.

love watching movies during my lunchbreak at work, i have a bluetooth sony ericson headset which pairs beautifully with the HD for great stereo sound.

i use memory map for gps while off roading using ordinance survey maps.

music is great, again using the bt headset.

the compass is great when geocaching and gcz is a great app to use for this as well.

all the usual email and message stuff.

web browsing.

general gps using the installed and adapted for the HD version of copilot.

errr just love this phone lol.

just a shame about the lack of flash on the installed version of opera as i used to watch bbc iplayer a lot on the i900. tried the fixes but no joy there. its a shame that opera 9 does not let you set the connection within its settings as i used to set opera to wap for iplayer so that it would work but this did not affect any other 3g connections. cant do this on opera 9 ;-(

Actually, it's pretty cool to use Wifi Remote Access and browse my pics on my PS3.

You can also get your mate's iPhone and crush glass between that and your HD2, screen first. Then give him his scratched and battered up iPhone back and wipe your screen clean on his sleeve before smiling and ringing his mum to tell her that her boy's crying and needs a new phone.

It's so hard to narrow all the cool things I do on my HD2, but here goes:

1. Download my podcasts using Beyondpod for playback in the car or at work

2. Keep up with the news using RSS Hub.

3. Watch recorded tv shows on my SD card on the phone or plugged into the computer as using the SD card.

4. Web browsing, You Tube, etc

5. Wifi tether to my laptop and/or iPod Touch when I need to browse the web via one of those devices (great on family trips).

6. Use Google Maps or Bing when I need GPS love. Usually Bing.

7. Instant upload of photos to Facebook.

8. Read Ebooks with mobipocket or the stock Barnes and Noble app.

Love this phone, I kill the battery like mad, have a charger at home, work, and in the car. I can't get enough of this phone.

I use logmein and it works fine. The free version gives you control of your pc and the pro version lets you transfer files. You don't need to install any software on your device (just on the host computer).

I have attached the cab for you. It's a pre-release beta and will give you a notification that it may not be stable. Funny thing is, it's the most stable version I have used to date!

If you want it to Scrobble from HTC Sense you need to set that up in the settings. Also, keep in mind that unless you have a paid account (well worth the $3) you can't stream the radio or playlists. It will however let you Scrobble.

I hope it makes you as happy as it did me! :D

One of the few downsides of the N1 is of course the weak loudspeaker, N1 users complain about the ringtones being too quiet!

Do you know if someone already tested the Desire loudspeaker??

And of course I hope the screen will be better under sunlight :rolleyes:
[Desire General] irkan:
The screen is the same as in the N1, so i would not expect any improvements in that department, the AMOLED display screens in general are known for their poor visibility under direct sun light...

not sure about the loudspeaker, but in the specs there is "Dolby Mobile sound enhancement" so i think that is a good thing :) not many phones have this type of enhancement
[Desire General] vegetaleb:
If I understood well the Gsm Arena reiew of N1, they said the screen could have been lot better if google didnt choose to add a too reflective layer,so if HTC use a less reflective layer above the screen it would be surelly better

Hey all.

I've got a Nexus one last week. I seem to have a problem with the phone. My phone freezes and crashes a few times a day. Most of the times it happens when i run a game. One time it happened when browsing with the default browser. Another time it happened when someone was calling me. It just freezes and reboots by itself. I uninstalled all my apps and made a factory reset. The first time it happened i was browsing the internet on the first day i got it. No extra apps installed. I did 2 factory resets after that and no change. I'm in Europe...i hope i don't have to send it back for repairs all the way to the US. Oh, yeah, it was bought from the US.

What do you think its the problem?

My phone used to randomly reboot (about once a week). Rarely since rooting though.

I suggest running "adb logcat" in a command shell while its connected via usb. (make sure the drivers are installed and usb-debug is enabled)

This way you will see exactly what caused the reboot if it happens when youre logging.
[Nexus One General] rashid11:
My used to do the same when running stock ROM (freezing/rebooting). Haven't had any problem ever since rooting it (I am on BakedGoods 1.1).

That's another, not oft mentioned, benefit of rooting - with some ROMs you _are_ getting a _more stable system.

I know this is an old thread but just to update you guys, its been 2 months since i have the device and the random reboots have stopped after making like 10 factory resets. It still crashes like once a week or so when its in the browser. I suspect there's some nasty java script code that's braking the browser and it reboots. But its so rare now that its not annoying me anymore. The average up time now its about 200 hours.

So i'm a happy men now :)

Hi everyone,

my HTC Diamond1, which I've had since release, have now died. When looking for a new phone, the TD2 is currently number one on the list (unfortunately I think the HD2 is too big).

I am a little hesitant to buy a phone which was released almost a year ago. And essentially all the reviews of it is phones with release ROM versions, making it hard to evaluate the current state of the TD2. Now with 2.53 ROM versions officially released, I wonder what the current status of the phone is?

How does the new ROM perform; I love the new Sense version, but does it perform adequately (remember I'm used to TD1 performance...)?

What have changed since the introduction of WM6.5; does battery perform badly now? Better to stick with 6.1?

Are current owners generally happy, or do you think I'm stupid to buy the TD2 instead of perhaps the HD2?

Would be immensely grateful for any input and help to solve my decision agony! :)

Thanks!

You can download the new ROM update with a random UK serial number like "ht968l100040". It is just to make sure that you are downloading the correct file in your language. If you are OK with the English ROM with Manila 2.53, just download and enjoy it. I did the same thing and enjoying the new Manila.

My phone is from Turkey. Therefore with my original serial number I was not able to download any update even the 6.5 for a long time. Therefore I used a UK serial and downloaded the WWE update.

Hello I have just flashed to HTC's new rom for the topaz with manilla 2.5, I think it is a great rom and a vast improvement over the 2.1 version.
