I know there are some desktop cradles that also feature a 2nd battery charging cradle, but I'm surprised that HTC sell aditional batteries but no official charger to charge them while using your other battery in the phone ? Anyone seen a good one that is reliable?

Hi.

I have this ome and It´s ok
[HD2 General] cMMY69:
Lifted up my locked phone when i got a text notification and the sceen went into landscape mode (I lifted it in that orientation). Half the screen was corrupted. i turned the phone into portrait orientation and the screen adjusted (no corruption) then I went back to landscape and the screen changed again, this time with not ocorruption. I unlocked it in landscape and the Today screen appeard in portrait. Sent myself a text to see if this was repetable and it's not. May have been a gliche in BSB Tweaks or something but it was an "interesting" moment.

Does anyone know of a too, (that actually works) that auto-switched the Today screen? I still miss not having a rotatable home screen.

Sorry my post may go against the rules of this forum by not talking about Windows Phone 7 Series or porting Android to HD2 ;)

Hi,

I am in the UK, i just bought my HTC leo (known as HD2 here), reading through the instructions i was guided to install WMDC which i did, i had not plugged in the phone at this point and one error was thrown up saying device not connected which was easily explainable, so now i connect the phone expecting WMDC to jump up, it doesnt and never has, now i am no novice to these things and i have been in this forum a few years ago with another phone so i am well versed on searching for answers to my problem before making posts, so far all i can find on the problem is people reporting not being able to sync using office, this is not my problem as i cant even get the phone to sync with WMDC, i have tried other suggestions such as ...

registry key in question:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Svchost\WindowsMobile

- Right click -> Permissions -> Advanced

- Took owner ship of the registry key

- Gave the Users group Full Control.

Then in device manager:

- Uninstalled my Microsoft Mobile Remote Adapter

- Scan hardware changes

and then it installed properly and am able to sync again

but to no avail, i have uninstalled and reinstalled with the phone connected and unconnected, my pc seems to find the device but i dont think it is reporting it right, in device & printers the phone is seen as 'generic serial', when i do a properties on this it is said to be a 'pocketPC usb sync', when i connect and disconnect it does appear in the device manager under mobile devices, also if i just leave the phone, when the screen goes blank the device disappears from the device manager, i have tried uninstalling it from device manager and also updating drivers but it keeps saying the best driver for the device are installed, i have included some pictures and i am tearing my hair out over this, i bought this phone to replace my iphone but i am not to pleased yet.

Thanks.

Have you opened wmdc and setup a partnership?
[HD2 General] pongster:
Have you tried going into Settings->Connections->USB To PC and uncheck "enable faster synchronization"?

What ROM are you on, btw, Cooked or Stock? and what version?:)
[HD2 General] loady:
Yes i have opened it but there is no way to set up a partnership as the phone is saying unconnected even though the pc seems to register its presence.

yes i did the disabling of fast sync, this is on stock rom out of the box its spl-1.42.0000, my plan was to install a cooked rom but i cant even get the phone to sync so i cant even do that to see if it will remedy the situation.
[HD2 General] pongster:
You can always install a cooked ROM as long as you can get to the bootloader...

Go to the bootloader...

Flash HSPL...

Use Task29 (Hex modified RUU.exe)

Flash your Cooked ROM of choice:)

I'm out of possible fixes for your sync problem though... I usually just uncheck "enable faster sync" and all is fine...

try this, if you haven't... as a last resort..

Uninstall WMDC

Reboot

Install WMDC

Reboot

Connect HD2 before your PC boots (with "enable faster sync" unchecked)

worth a try:)
[HD2 General] loady:
no luck...this is highly frustrating
[HD2 General] pongster:
any firewalls up and running? I'm on Win 7 x64 and WMDC 6.1 is playing fine with Outpost Firewall:)

Good Luck and I hope you get everything sorted out...:)
[HD2 General] A|ex:
IS your device configured to use the active sync as it might be in internet sharing, usb mode if this is set you wont be able to sync or connect right
[HD2 General] loady:
I have mcaffee firewall but i have disabled it

Yes it is set to use active sync and faster sync is unchecked.
[HD2 General] A|ex:
Have you tried hard resetting the device and then trying to reconnect it?
[HD2 General] loady:
Ok, done the hard reset...still saying not connected on WMDC and phone is registering in device manager

Is the phone showing up correctly in device manager, should it be 'pocketPC USB sync' ?
[HD2 General] Clonatorul:
Try to disable your antivirus. I use Kaspersky and I have same problem if I don't disable antivirus.
[HD2 General] loady:
Disabled antivirus and firewall...strange thing is..if i uninstall it from device manager, when i reinstall it with fast sync enabled on phone it installs as mobile remote adaptor or something like that, if i reinstall with fast sync disabled it installs as pocketpc usb sync
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
What I did with my HD2 and W7 64-bit was just turn it on and plug it in! Windows downloaded, installed and configured WMDC automatically so I didn't have to do a thing!
[HD2 General] loady:
Thanks for that...nothing like having salt rubbed in to the wounds lol... thats exactly what i did but not so lucky...anyhow...i just uninstalled the thing again for numpteenth time and scanned for hardware changes and went out the room...when i come back in it was alive...dont know what i did that was different though, i will renable my AV and firewall and see if it was that.

Thanks to everyone for your help
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
Didn't mean to sound so smart-arse-ish - I just always plug things into W7 and only if they can't get something working do I go driver hunting!
[HD2 General] loady:
No i know you wasnt, i wasnt offended at all...its so nice to be able to just plug things in though, with windows 7 its been a breeze and this is the first time i have had trouble, hopefully thats the end of that problem and i can get going with some cooked roms....anything you can recommend ? seem to be so many, whats the most popular ?
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
Personally, take a look at the one in my sig - new version of it is out later this evening and its a great ROM. Gets rid of all the crapware no one ever uses...

Other than that, take a look at Duttys or Miri's ROMs - but the newest version are only on HTCPedia
[HD2 General] loady:
Well...that lasted all of 3 minutes !....now its not connecting again...no logic what so ever
[HD2 General] loady:
Right...seems it may have been the USB port, i was initially trying 2 ports, one was a front panel usb port which is connected via a pin header on the mobo, the second one was an extension lead to the back mobo mounted usb port which is usb3...so as a last straw i thought i would try the usb hub i have connected to the other onboard usb port which is usb 2..the hub is powered so i am left wondering if that was the issue.
[HD2 General] kikakeule:
can confirm this problem, i didnt figured out a solution in the past 2 months I owned my hd2.

never ever had a single working connection, hardreset and even a new rom didnt made a change and my last hope, reinstalling windows, had also no effect.

So you're not alone, hopefully someone will somehow find a solution for this but i dont guess so, i think we need new WMDC.

my diamond worked like a charm on the same machine, with same WMDC, same drivers etc.

just saw you solved it for you, congrats, external powered usb-hub neither worked for me^^
[HD2 General] loady:
Could have just been perseverence, i had been at it all day long, combinations of uninstalling, reinstalling, changing ports...also could just be a fluke...it may well revert back to that behaviour, i hope not...im am going to install a cooked rom tonight as the T-mobile instant messaging refuses to work and the weather will not update...if you want something doing...do it yourself ;) cant rely on T-

Mobile to do anything.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arvv:
Hi,

Well last night i got a Rogers HTC dream (proud owner of an android phone)

After trying to use CM Updater, i managed to softbrick my phone. I used the dreamimg.nbh to restore the phone but it was a T Mobile one. Now evreytime i boot up i see T-Mobile. Its a Rogers HTC Dream but its running on T Mobile Firmware. Is this a problem after unlocking the phone(meaning will it destroy the unlock) and will i have any problems? I was wondering if this would be a problem. What guide should i use to root my HTC Dream if it is running on 1.5 Cupcake T Mobile Release(got it from droiddog.com) if i want to root and run cyanogenmod. I dont mind if i have to use the bad cupcake rom but how can i get through the setup if i have a Fido Sim card and im on pay as you go. I can get a sim with data from a friend if that works. Thanks guy

PS: I am very newb when it comes to android its my second day and i already screwed my phone

Your help is greatly appreciated

anyone please help
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
You didn't need to use the drea file, you could have wiped then flashed the rom again. your phone will still be unlocked even if you change to a diff rom.

Some of the stuff posted is probably considered warez. But I am surprised they didn't just delete that post.

I am guessing they deleted the whole thread because they don't want us talking about MSL stuff. Why? ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it is not illegal but you can do illegal stuff in there. So, this board will remove any talk about this stuff because they fear being shut down at any moment. I can't blame them. There have been plenty of boards shut down in the past.
[Hero CDMA General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
MSL Stuff is not illegal...

The MSL is essential for many things on the system side of phone software...

It was one method of finding it that is considered illegal..
[Hero CDMA General] bmxrider4444:
I wouldn't say they removed it because of the MSL, they removed it because of the Warez and other links on the page, i mean it's quite easy to get your msl from Sprint, PM me and i'll give you a free easy way to get it from Sprint.

[Hero CDMA General] centran:
Sure is illegal. You can change your ESN which is illegal.
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
It is not illegal to have your MSL. Yes changing your ESN is counter to FCC regulations, although strictly speaking I'm not sure it's 'illegal'.

In any event, simply having your MSL is perfectly legal. This is the only time I've ever had problems getting mine from Sprint, and that's because they've apparently had a policy change over it (likely from too many people destroying their phones with it).
[Hero CDMA General] azyouthinkeyeiz:

You have to have the MSL to even program the phone... It is not illegal..

The MSL is not the culprit..

The illegal things are done *by people* with the MSL not because of the MSL..

That's like saying money is illegal because people do illegal things with money...

Changing the ESN is illegal, not having the MSL....

[HD2 General] SMS92:
Hi all,

I've been using my HD2 for a new days now and, it goes without saying, it's a fantastic device.

However, there are 2 issues that are making me consider the possibility of a downgrade (everything below that 1ghz snapdragon has gotta be a downgrade!)

1. Battery life

2. Touch typing

Now, 1 goes without saying. I've just today flashed with another radio so hopefully after a bit of trial and error this should sort itself out. So let's write this issue off.

But 2, the typing on the touch screen. I come from using a Hermes (though I used a Ubiquio 501 with front facing qwerty for a few weeks in between as a stop-gap to broken Hermes) which is obviously a full Qwerty slide phone.

I was told my various people that I could type as fast on the Leo as the Hermes which I just can't agree with. Though I can perhaps type as fast, I am constantly making errors which is getting infuriating. Though XT9 obviously helps a lot, when various characters aren't getting detected it becomes a real problem constantly backspacing to fix errors. Attempting to hold a text convo on Skype last night was a nightmare!

Errors on the Hermes were few and far between as you really 'felt' the Qwerty keyboard.

I've never owned another touch-only phone so my only experience is with this HD2. I can't imagine what it'd be like on smaller touch-only devices.

I have rather big hands / thumbs which perhaps doesn't help.

I'm going to stick at it and see whether it starts to be more natural over the next few days, but I just feel so uncomfortable using the touch keyboard right now.

I'm probably opening myself for a grilling from the small hands crew, but this is my opinion based on a few days use, coming from a Qwerty slide phone.

Are there any mods or advice people would recommend for getting used to touch typing?

:)
[HD2 General] pkchips:
try using Swype keyboard. It makes typing a lot easier and error-free. Plus, if you make any mistakes, there's a nice correction button to fix it.
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
For #1, it takes a few days after flashing a ROM (maybe even a radio) before the phone 'settles in' and takes on a reasonable battery profile.

For #2, some have said it can take up to two weeks to get used to the typing! I used to make a lot of errors but now I find myself not really thinking about it - just works magically.
[HD2 General] boofhead:
i thought i was going to have issues also until i switched to the xt9. i was used to using the full physical keyboard on my touch pro and therefore didnt like the idea of having sugestive text input, but i have since been using the xt9 with great results. sometimes it gets it wrong, but generally it is correct. stick with it and see how you go. after all, does it really matter if it takes a little longer to send a text message.
[HD2 General] pkchips:
Yep, weird thing is that by using the Swype keyboard, I got better at using the ordinary keyboard.

When I first started, I was way faster at using swype with one hand than I was at using the keyboard 2 handed, because I kept making mistakes.

However, now when I try it, I still make a few mistakes using the 2-handed keyboard but I'm slightly faster than I am with swype (only very slightly). And when I make a big mistake I'm a lot slower.

Overall, swype is really good for normal texting, and unbeatable when you're moving and texting at the same time (in my opinion). It learns when you type in a new word or name manually, so that next time you can just swype it.
[HD2 General] A|ex:
The HD2 keypad like any other WM phone is extremely slow compared to a phone with physical buttons. i am still trying to find a good keypad that is as responsive (even when settings are set to max) that can type as fast as i can on a phone keypad without delay. The biggest issue i have is the WM default keypad, the buttons are not as big / spaced out as say the iphone and i am still trying to find a good keypad to use.

the swype keypad is good but any custom non dictionary words or double letter words can take some getting use to
[HD2 General] CRO_Misho:
From my other post:

"I would say that the best typing tweak is to calibrate the screen the way you naturally using it.

So, if your finger touches the screen under some angle while you type, calibrate that. (think of a cross as a letter and touch it under the same angle).

If you type with two hands, calibrate the left side with the left hand and vice-versa.)"

As reported back, this significantly improves typing experience in some cases.
[HD2 General] quietriot1983:
I was struggling to text, had been since the start, despite installing the sensitivity fix, and calibrating using thumbs in landscape. It also annoyed me that the keyboard would slow to a crawl when something was updating in the background.

I've just moved over to Finger Keyboard and it is SO much better. Still not 100%, but I put that down to me adjusting to a new keyboard.
[HD2 General] SMS92:
OP reporting back, and wow - Swype. Definitely one of those applications you think 'nice idea, but I doubt in practice it works the way it describes' - but how wrong is that? What an absolutely fantastic input method. Though I don't use it exclusively for sending text messages and when quickness isn't an issue, it's become my default method for typing IM's, most email and perhaps 70% of other stuff.

It took a little getting used to, but once you've got a bit of practice, typed a few of your more common words in (plenty of them being 4 letters after getting so frustrated typing on my HD2 ;) ) it's a breeze. I love the fact I it recognises lifts from the screen as spaces, meaning you rarely have to use the space bar manually. 90% of the time it correctly predicts what you've swyped, 5% it almost gets it and presents it in the finger friendly list, and the other 5% you're typing something that isn't in the dictionary (do it once - it learns it)

Recommended to everyone to have on their HD2, whether they really want to use it or not. There's always going to be a time when you need 1 hand for something else, at least, particularly if you meet a girl who can take advantage of your HD2's brilliant display when sending pics. :D

Now I've just this minute recalibrated my touch screen (never even thought of doing that), let's see how the regular keyboard works. And to the person above - you're absolutely right, the use of Swype has improved my regular typing too.

I sure as hell miss a hardware keyboard but I'm getting used to these new input methods and am sure I'll stick with them.

Many thanks to all for the help.

MOD EDIT - Warez info/link removed. Warez is not permitted on XDA
[HD2 General] dbh369:
FYI, if you have the new T-Mo HD2, like me:D, the screen cal is hidden. My keyboard required me to type up and to the left on every touch. Recalibration fixed that. To unhide:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen

Change from '1' to '0'
[HD2 General] rumz82:
Hi guys

I used to have alot of problems at first with the diamond 2 as it is also a full touchscreen keyboard.However, on the HD2,i have now got used to it especially when i use the xt9 feature. Ok, some abbreviations or short texts(your=ur, this=dis etc) can be a bit of an issue,but overall the experience is good. Now i have trouble using the diamond 2 keyboard compared to the HD2 as the diamond 2 is a resistive touch screen.....have to make more of an effort to type something.
