It will ring through your phone if you have your settings right in GV online. As for calling back out, you have to call through the GV app in order for it to show up as your GV #.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Tenny:
If you are using a 2.1 rom, be careful. When calling out using the GV App on 2.1, I have noticed that even though it says it's using the GV #, it's really using your regular cell phone number... so test it on a phone you can check before calling those people.

Thank you

Is the battery charged?

Does it do anything when you push the power button? If so what?
[Touch HD General] D4D:
Hi Guys, flashed my phone with a Xanny rom months back, the phone has worked faultlessly before & since.

On Sunday i was in the middle of sending a text and the screen froze, i could see everything ok on the screen but the phone didn't respond to my touch. I got it going by pushing the reset button. The phone booted up ok but the screen alignment was out, I then started the alignment process, which went round in circles for 7 minutes, Eventually the alignment finished. Monday i noticed that the more I used the phone the more the alignment skewed out, every time i recalibrated the screen alignment it took ages. I hard reset the phone, it was the same. I flashed a stock orange rom, it was the same.

I admitted defeat this morning and rang orange, as the phone is more than 6 months old they put me on to HTC, its being picked up tomorrow by ups, turn around "should be less than 7 days".

All in all I'm very disappointed, my previous PDA was an HP iPAQ 4700. I used it daily for work & social use for 5 years, with never a problem.

When the touch came along I felt here was a device that improves on the iPAQs screen, so i went and bought one. A bit miffed that it has failed already, I'm a bit OCD with my gadgets so its never been dropped or knocked is always in its custom made padded leather case and has had a screen cover on from new. In fact it is unmarked, i hope it still will be when/if it comes back.

I just need to know he'll pull through !!

Update 13/03/2010

Right just got off the phone to HTC. Not very impressed.

They have quoted me £162 for the repair, It needs a main board as I have "cooked" my ROM, and a digitizer. I had flashed my phone with a xanny rom 6 months ago, but put a stock orange rom in before it went back. How they found out I've no idea, I pointed out to the bloke on the phone (when i could understand what he was saying) that the rom has no impact on the touch screen & could i just have the touch screen replaced and leave the main board, but no the rom is stock now but had been changed before and as such you need a new main board, even though it works fine. Complete b*****ks. When my contract is up I shall not be buying another HTC, fools.

So bugger 'em i say, i've paid to have it sent back, and i've found a digitizer on ebay for £14, i'll fix it myself... Has anyone got a link to instructions on how to take it apart ? if not I'll wing it :)
[Touch HD General] leemoss84:
its prolly fine, they will prolly just put a new digitizer on it.
[Touch HD General] D4D:
***Bump***
[Touch HD General] miniterror:
before you sended it back did you replace the spl whit the standard one

thats probably the reason how the found out it has been flashed
[Touch HD General] zerozed:
I have exactly the same problem as D4D. I have never dropped or get wet my phone but 2 days ago while I was typing a message or something I felt that screen does not responds correctly. It was very difficult to unlock my phone and type as well. Hard reset couple of times without success. The phone started normally, the alignment process passes, i have to calibrate more times than usual - 2 to 5 passes but the issue remains.

Then I flashed stock ROM - no improvement, put back the cooked ROM - again no improvement. The phone is still in warranty but I flashed many cooked ROMs on it. So what should I do :( ?
[Touch HD General] leemoss84:
flash stock rom and stock spl
[Touch HD General] zanyzany:
i had the same issue when the phone got cold (guessing the digitizer) but i noticed that the phone is fine now after running cleanram ever 12 hrs

I am on the stock rom

they have a really badass live wallpaper theme in this rom,anyway to extract it and get it to work on the n1?:D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grainysand:
Do you mean the one pictured in the screenshots? If so, just download NexusMod live wallpaper from the market.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkavat:
Hmm.. can we port wallpapers? I mean.. The live wallpaper in Desire's demo videos is quite nice.. does Desire ROM have it? can it be ported?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grainysand:
No, the Desire ROM doesn't have it.

I am done with Sense 2.5 or for that matter, TF3D.

Attached screenshots show what my today screen looks like.

in case you miss it, the 43% memory usage is a big reason to jump ship.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] leemoss84:
look-up elecont launcher. its pretty cool if your not gonna use manila3d. i use to use it on my incite and loved it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] chiks19018:
I am using the "easy today launcher" to put the icons on the today screen.

This launcher is as easy it can get.

Easy Today Launcher
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] leemoss84:
elecont launcher does the same thing but lets you scroll from left to right and it will let you have up to 4 or 5 lines of apps. its like 3 bucks but you can try it out for free for like a couple weeks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] ramdroid77:
I'm currently running Sense 2.5 and got 57% memory usage. Now what's the problem? What are you doing with your memory if you aren't using it? btw I never got an out of memory error or anything like that.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] nighthawk1982:
I used TD2 Tools to disable Push Internet engine and Resource Proxy and I get 43% memory usage while still using Manila after a fresh bootup or cleanRAM level 3... though it's Manila 2.1 not 2.5.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] ThrashMan:
lol....great over reaction!

You're using less than half the available RAM and you're complaining? I have 75MB of free RAM and I can do everything I need to.

No point in having RAM if you're not going to use it imho.

Really don't understand what you're grumping about?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] PMoto:
That's my point too. Not used RAM is wasted RAM.

PMoto
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] mitsi:
I don't necessarily agree. I have tried Sense 2.5 and my battery life became very short. Using RAM reduces your battery life which, lets face it, is not that good with a TD2. I found Sense 2.5 buggy and slow too. I prefer TESS 2.F which has Manila 2.0. This gives me 43% used ram on start up and it then stabilises to about 55% over the course of a few days. It is very stable too. Who needs the weather on their home screen anyway - you can look out of the window ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] PMoto:
Well, the fact is that TD2 is a wonderfull phone, and each and everyone is capable of doing his own costumization, and make it feel personal.

Sharing it with other, is all that we want, right? LOL

PMoto
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] nighthawk1982:
I think the point is that more free RAM = more RAM to run memory intensive programs and more RAM to run more programs simultaneously without running into stability problems. If all you ever have is have one program open at any time then that's fine, you don't need 105Mb free memory.

Obviously to each his own. Some want all the snazzy eye candy and cool features and don't mind having less headroom. Some prefer having more ram to stretch about in. No problem with either as long as you're happy with it!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] leemoss84:
well said nighthawk. do what you want!!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Dirk:
A lot of us jumped ship a long time ago!

I've been running Titanium on Clean WM 6.5.x ROMs for a while now and never looked back. Having the extra storage space is a bonus but it's the free recources that makes it that much better. Everything runs that much faster and the latest builds of WM are really getting good.

Each to their own i say, but to make an informed choice i would recommend trying all the alternatives for yourself!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] ramdroid77:
Actually it depends on which ROM you have flashed. There's different version of Sense 2.5 floating around. I think the version they got from HD2 is running quite slow on Topaz. But there's another version I'm not sure but I think they got it from a Touch pro 2 (some carrier released it with Sense 2.5) and this one is running really smooth on our TD2 as well. i also can't complain about any battery life issues and with the current Sense 2.5 ROM I never had any SODs (which I sometimes had with the clean Titanium ROMs)

Well, I first had the stock ROM for a while with Manila 2.0 running on it. Then when 6.5 came out I switched to custom Titanium ROMs. Recently I switched to Sense 2.5 and with the ROM I'm running it's A LOT faster and running more smoothy compared to the clean 6.5 Titanium ROMs I used before.

Like someone said before it's really up to everyone's own taste but I don't think you can generally say "Sense 2.5 sucks it's so slow and buggy". To be honest I thought this before as well but since running my own 2.5 I got prooved otherwise.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] DeathJester:
The rom below is running sweet. It's 2.1, but it's as responsive as I've ever had.

Running at 52%, last rebooted about a week ago. I charge overnight by my bed.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
My RAM usage shows 43% right now with Sense 2.1 running (Stock ROM), with SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.3 running it's like 46%. No difference in performance at all, very smooth..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] chiks19018:
+1

that is what I want. Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] chiks19018:
Sense 2.5 is not buggy for me. That was not the problem at all.

But if I had Opera10 open and then i open one more application, it would show the spinning wheel if I say went to the album or some other RAM intensive program.

On top of that, Sense2.5 is a big waste of real estate. The home screen would show time on the main bar, then again on the sense, plus another bar to show program name. wtf.

I would switch to prideIV, but i like the idea of having the new htc messaging (i know it sucks) as it allows attaching media easily and has a good threaded messaging screen.

Now I have my appointments on the home screen, the time, my fav icons and a search bar too.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] kristofpetho:
Hey, have you tried having Pride IV with NRGZ' Messaging app? It should work...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] catchmeu:
~20% battery usage after 8 and half hour

I cooked my own ROM based off the 2.53 kitchen posted in the ROM forum. Removed a few apps and added some. My phone is on for last 8 and a half hour with 2G internet and Push mail on. There have been quite a few emails that have come and I have checked in this time. There have been Connective Tools Alarm that ran for about 15 mins. And the Battery consumption is close to 20%. Going by this, I can charge my phone on alternate days.. And it has Sense 2.5 (without of course the Footprint, Documents. I have the eReader cooked in as well). I see my RAM consumption at 46% at start up and peaks around 65% but mostly stays at less than 60% (Showcase cooked in).

Radio version: 4.49.25.91 (I had drains with other radios)

OS: 21887...

[Add] not to mention the super fast the ROM is at 14MB page pool..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] tlsty:
hi, I installed the 2.16.479.1 ROM. I use exchange for company emails. after fresh restart, it is 53-54% used (as the wind blows...). After running some apps + exiting them, browsing net, checking out pictures, some phone calls, it is totally usual to have 72-80% used RAM by OS. If I run cleanRAM, it frees max 10% - having mostly 60-70% used. Is this "normal"?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] mitsi:
I think your rom and/or running programs seem to use more than normal amount of ram....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] tlsty:
I'm a bit confused here - should be more free RAM? of is it totally normal to have like 70-80% of RAM literally depleted by Windoze Mobile? Sometimes, I have problem running iGO8 (outta RAM problem...)

how about trying out RUU_Topaz_S2_HTC_WWE_2.53.405.5_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61.44etc.25.35_4.49.25.91_Ship

?

do you thing it would get better?

THX for the effort
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
Shipped ROMs will run higher RAM because they are not tweaked for performance.

Also a good task manager will help you ID what is using alot of RAM. For example if you have MSVC installed and running in the background.

The only RAM issue I have seen with iGo is in regards to TTS.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] tlsty:
english doc! english! :-)

MSVC ?

TTS ?

please try to explain to me as to four year old ;-) THX!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] chiks19018:
good idea...will give it a try someday now. ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
Ok, how's this.

MSVC here

TTS here

I don't spoon feed em after they're 2 years old.

:rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] tlsty:
those links are frickin' awesome!!! how did you do that?

and, OF COURSE, thx for the explanation ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
Save to bookmarks.

Its great for a laugh.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] tlsty:
I did. THX. will pi55 off my colleagues tomorrow with it :D

let me ask some other questions:

- what ROM do you use (cooked / shipped) and how much RAM does the OS consume after like 1 day of heavy usage w/o running cleanRAM?

- do you recommend some specific ROM? i do not need the localized slovak version (i actually hate any localized/translated OS/apps such Windoze or Office...)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
I never use the shipped ROM and usually have my device reflashed within a day of getting it. With cooked ROMs you get better performance, however using ROMs ported from other devices can lead to bugs. I prefer to deal with a few bugs as long as it's fairly stable for everyday use.

Regarding RAM, mine is all over the place as I am running many programs simultaneously throughout the day. For example, right now with Facebook, IM+ and Resco Radio running I am about 80% expended. I use a program called Memaid to keep my RAM clean.

I use the ROM in my signature but its really just a matter of preference.

It is good to find a chef that is from your region/carrier so most network settings will be preinstalled, but most others are easily configurable.

Cruise some of the ROM threads, see which ones catch your eye, checkout the build log to see what all is installed and read the last few pages of posts to see current bugs/fixes.

I stay away from chefs that cook new ROMs often because they are just churning out different builds from their Kitchen as they find them (great for experimenting but not for everyday use)

I look for chefs that have been around the forums for a while and have cooked for many devices because they usually take the time to test their product and fix bugs prior to releasing them.

Most important advice I can give you is start with the Newbie flashing guide, read all you can, learn all you can, and soon you will be cookin' your own ROMs. :cool:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] tlsty:
@Bruce Inman

last question: consider average usage of TD2 - how long does your battery live? mine - max 2 days (some phone calls, few minutes of browsing, exchange sync on hourly basis)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bruce Inman:
2 days is pretty good, I get about a day and a half.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] tlsty:
I even purchased an battery with capacity of 1350 mA instead of the EOM batt with 1100 mA and no difference (the batt probably got its butt frozen off during the 50 days travel from HK...)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] chiks19018:
Well, I did it.

I installed PrideIV, installed NRGZ8 HTC Messaging 2012.

No luck. Still pops up the Arcsoft message composer.

Is there something I missed?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
There is no known link. You have to follow the goldcard method and downgrade to the WWE 2.73.405.5 rom. From there you can follow the rest of the process (see my guide for more info).

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talderon:
Hey all,

Not sure if there is any way to mess with these settings, but I wanted to know if there was a way to change a devices UA String via command or app.

I do some mobile phone testing and I can emulate through FireFox, however, wanted to know if there was a way to emulate via the handset itself.

Example:

The UA String for the Nexus one (that we see (from stock)) is:

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.1-update1; en-us; Nexus One Build/ERE27) AppleWebKit/530.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/530.17

And the UA String for the G1 is:

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android HTC_Dream-1.13.0.1; en-us; dream) AppleWebKit/525.10+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0.4 Mobile Safari/523.12.2

Now, each device has as different experience on our system and I wanted to emulate that on the Nexus.

Any input would be great!

Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talderon:
Ok, found some information on Dolphin and Steel browsers letting you change your user agent, however, it only lets you change between Android, Desktop and iPhone.

Hi I was wondering if anyone could make a custom slider for my T-Mobile Touch Pro 2. I used to use HDwall but since I upgraded to 6.5 it no longer works. I have all the icons ready in a zip file I just need someone to make them into a cab that would work with my phone. If anyone can help me please reply or send me a pm and I will get the Icons to you.

P.S. they are alienware style icons that would match a wallpaper I have. so if anyone can help me I would appreciate it. Plus you could have a cool looking slider for yourself and everyone on here.

Oh yeah I'm running Win Mo 6.5 Sense 2.1 if you need more info I can get more.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sirphunkee:
Hey man, what happens when you tried HDWalls to assemble them for 6.5? It should still work. I'll give it a shot for you if you want to get the icons to me....PM me and I'll give you my e-mail.

Hi, is there a way to change the original lockscreen behaviour, in order to put the phone on vibrate instead of mute only?

second: is it possible to "explore" the inside of the phone via pc, not only using root explorer? will be much more easyer to understand how it works...at least for a beginner like me! :D
[Droid Eris General] sickbox:
OK so I've made it official and contacted the creator of the BN 3rd Place font asking for permission to modify his font. (I know this is long over due and most have the font already but now its legit)

The only modifications that were made were to make it look more like the font used in Verizon's Droid commercials.

The original font: BN 3rd Place

Created by Ben Nathan of hafontia.com

Modified by sickbox

NOTE: This is a Hebrew font and will show up further down the list than English fonts in Photoshop.
[Droid Eris General] Dangerous Dave:
Ok, donning my flame-proof suit before asking questions. :rolleyes: (I did try putting "BN 3rd place" into the search box first...honest, this was the only hit I got) So is this a font you install to your phone for your viewing on the phone? Or can you incorporate it into texts or emails you send from the phone so others see it? Does it work in conjunction with another app? How do you go about installing it? Just trying to get edumacated. Your patience will be appreciated.

Tanks,
[Droid Eris General] sickbox:
I'll do you one better.

THE REAL ANSWER
[Droid Eris General] Dangerous Dave:
I was actually hoping for something a little more exciting 'phone-wise', but thanks for the answer just the same.
[Droid Eris General] sickbox:
Sorry, this was not intended to be a font to change the text on your phone it was fixed up for people who want to use [insert name of word processing or photo editing software] to create content with a verizon droid like font.

You may be able to use it on a rooted phone but I have no idea how to change fonts since I haven't gotten around to trying it yet.
[Droid Eris General] ivanmmj:
It's pretty easy to do. ;)

Rename the ttf to droidsans.ttf (It will only change non-bold letters, though.) and place it under /system/fonts.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bayhas:
The fastest way I found of debranding the startup on both orange and tmobile startup screens is by installing a WWE rom. via RUU or update zip. Once you've done this, the startup logos for either orange/tmobile will be automatically removed. Have to say I love the support HTC give for roms for this cos its so easy. Then just use any custom ROM you like and no more BRANDING !!!!!!!!!!!! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
Can I just ask;

01; If that using the WWE firmware it will remove the HTC sense UI or still keep it?

02; Can you apply the WWE firmware without rooting the device?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bayhas:
1) WWE is a generic rom as far as I know so it will remove all the branding from mobile networks and only leave HTC stuff on there. Sense stays as it is as its not network related.

2) I've rooted my device and it works. Haven't tried on an unrooted device so can't really answer. If you can get an WWE RUU update it should work without rooting as its and official standard rom.
