Ok, the main thing for me would be the screen.

Right now i have an iPhone, it has amoled, but when i saw and used te hero for some minutes, the touchscreen was very good!

Anduhh, the htc hero is "overclockable" right?? So it doesn't really matter.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craig0r:
Aside from the flash, the Legend also has a much better camera.

Check out the comparison here:

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gu1dry:
The iPhone doesn't have an AMOLED screen.

The Hero & the Legend have the exact same camera.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arimozuki:
+1

documentation suggests the processor has a better graphics chip though.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Apparently the GPU in the Legends MSM7227 supports OpenGL ES 2.0 (same as the Nexus Ones Snapdragon processor), as opposed to Open GL ES 1.1 in the Heros MSM7200.

When out and about, the speaker isn't loud enough to be able to hear videos on YouTube...

so I was wondering if there was a way to increase the volume either in YouTube, or a way of increasing the phone's volume beyond the original maximum limit?

Thanks.
[HD2 General] rickyoon.vegas:
Increasing the volume beyond the limitation is not recommended (even if you could), because that will damage your speaker.

Hey all...I have been using the STAXX STYLES 6.5 ROM for awhile now...and I just cannot stand this problem anymore. My camera seems to be wayyy off. When I point it at something, the image shown on the screen is indeed what I am looking at, but when I take a picture, it takes an image of like the upper left hand section of the screen at what looks like max zoom. For the life of me I cannot figure out what is the problem. The reason why I havent simply updated ROM's is because I like this one. Yes I know that that is the first step to getting things like this fixed...but I would really like to stay on this one. Anywho, device info here, thanks for any help.

Is this a new problem or has it existed as long as you've had this ROM? You could try hard-resetting this ROM if you haven't done that already.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ashasaur:
No, it has always happened on this ROM...which is why I say I know that it could probobly be fixed by a flash..but I REALLY don't want to. I strayed away from this ROM once, and lets just say I don't wanna do that again. I dunno...ive had a half dozen WinMo devices...and once I get a ROM I really like, I don't ever change it. I updated to the newer STAXX STYLE and everything was moved/different...simply put this has the kernel version that I like, and a visual style that I like aswell. So a fix would be great. As far as I remember, this did not occur on a different ROM. So I do not believe that it is the phone itself.

[neoTouch S200 General] surcart:
Is there a tool that prevents the phone from going into suspension mode when you lock and turn the screen off?

I want to have this feature because when using gps software like tomtom or garmin there is no way to put it in your pocket for use while for example riding a motorcycle without the turn by turn navigation being interrupted. I also want to be able to turn the screen off to save the battery. I've seen a cab for having music keep playing in the bg but this would have to include the gps unit aswell.

Any ideas?
[neoTouch S200 General] olsching:
freeware for (only) turn off the screen

Blackme

http://www.flytrap.it/blackme.asp

or

Screentoggle

http://freewareppc.com/utilities/screentoggleforpocketpc.shtml

I use screentoggle, associated with a hardwarebutton: on/off the screen (only the light of screen)
[neoTouch S200 General] surcart:
Thank you for your reply olsching. I tried both programs and I also prefer screentoggle since blackme opens a dialogue window. It seems to work with Garmin but Tomtom won't have any of it since running another application minimizes the tomtom app and that's just a no go with tomtom. I guess it's impossible to do anything about that one. Will try Garmin in traffic today. Hopefully it'll work. I'll let you know.
[neoTouch S200 General] olsching:
tomtom only sound

My english is not good, and only now Iam really understand what`s your Problem.

Okay, I remember, this problem is well-known for motorbikers.

(My old device was a xda orbit 2 - polaris - with tomtom 6 an I read about in forums and now i remember me. Iam not a motorbiker. I cycling and hiking )

Bad news:

I searched in german forums, but i found no solutions for this problems. It seems it is a special software problem of tomtom.

But:

I found a suggestion in one post in a thread of a german forum, which that you could/should try.

I've tried Garmin in traffic now. I had to do joyqings mod to my gpsantenna to be able to receive sufficient gpssignal but now it works well. No problem turning off the screen through screentoggle with Garmin still running and giving turn by turn navigation. Have not tried it on motorcycle yet but as soon as the weather gets a little better I will and it shouldn't be a problem.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] boyband6666:
Also just to add I've tried searching, which is partially how I've got myself in to this mess - solve one problem but make another!

Also I do have my APN settings, so when I get it installed, I can get my google account workign with it - I think i've had to do this about 6 times now! So if there is a way to get it in to 'myhero' which I think I can do again, and download an apk, then I should be able to do that.

There is a lot of information and everyone is recommended to do their research before rooting the phone.

That being said, it sounds like your phone is rooted if you can boot into recovery and load up a sense ROM. It'd been much easier to follow cyanogen's wiki instructions for non T-mobile 32B Magics. I also have a vodafone Magic and I rooted my phone successfully using the method.

Not having used the goldcard method, I don't exactly know where it went wrong. Have you done full wipes before applying a zip file? Stuff like that which might be easily overlooked?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] boyband6666:
Yeha I've been wiping it all before flashing, so that isn't the problem.

I also did as much reading as I could before starting (and watching the youtube guides before doing anything), but I guess a lot of the problems were unexpected (aren't they always?), for example I only found out half way through that I would need to flash the SPL, and it took me 40 minutes to figure out what SPL was, and what it did, then another 40 to work out how I was going to do it, then 40 to do so.

I have been following guides though - for the cyanogen one I get all the way down to flashing it with the detoothed google build, then cyanogen (obviously wiping before doing these). All the steps appear successful but then it doesn't boot.

The phone is also a rather strange one, a vodafone branded one that says 32B, but I'm sure it has more RAM.

Currently trying 'method 2' from here

android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting

to see if that works, but I'm not optimistic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] boyband6666:
Yup 15 minutes laters same problem - it hangs on HTC magic screen, which is exactly what it does when I go for the Cyanogen one.

I'll goign to try and google for other roms, see if any of them work sucessfully (and might provide a bridghe to what I want to have.

Again however anybody knows good guides, sites or anythign else let me know.

As I said a big problem before is I'm reliant heavily on google, and a lot of the informaion out there is useless, as it is out of date in a big way. Also I don't know anyoen else who has doen this, so recommendations ofmethods/roms are dependent on my reading, not wword of mouth (which is generally better).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] boyband6666:
Ok I've tried the method 2, defiantely no sucess, went back to the myhero (which performs awfully, so much lag!), and have now tried flaskrec.apk on there.

It does not backup, but then bypassing that step, it gives me the error 'Flash failed'.

Really stuck now, and no idea what to try, any suggestions at all would be helpful. I'm almost at the stage of wishing I'd got an iphone :-(

I'm trying to find an adapter that lets me use my phone with my non-bluetooth car stereo though aux in. Music and calls, so its needs a microphone as well.

So I found an adapter called Kensington LiquidAUX Bluetooth Car Kit K33428US which is nearly perfect. The problem with it is that the microphone is built in and is pretty much useless according to reviews.

TMO HTC HD2 multi-language typing

Folks, now the the HTC HD2 is officially coming out on 3/24, i am curious to know if:

1- you can write or text in different languages other than English and switch back and forth like the blackberry. My concern is i am used to switching between French, German and English when i text or write email or chat on my blackberry. Will i be able to do the same with this phone?

2-How easy and simple is it to toggle between screens for example copying and pasting some information from one spreadsheet to another or from one email to another?

3-How easy is it to have your gmail and yahoo acct opened at the same time on this phone?

Like the blackberry, is there a desktop manager for this phone to connect to your pc and manage and backup your files, music and pics?

4-Can you connect this phone to your printer and print pics or docs directly via bluetooth or usb cable?

5- is it easy to connect the phone to the car radio to play music?

6- Can someone please tell me more about Win 6.5? is it good or bad? is it user friendly or not?

8- I have win 7 on my laptop, will this phone be compatible when connecting to it?

I thank everybody and anyone who will be nice enough to read and answer my questions.

Cheers!!

MobiTV has been working fine for me using the 30 day free demo with ful channel lineup for the last few days on my TP2.
[HD2 General] lbhocky19:
i got the hd2 today cause im sneaky and on the stock tmo rom i have had lots of freeze ups from sense. i could hit start and get around but sense froze up so i had to soft reset.

while it works its awesome but that has been a bit annoying. even when going into settings and disabling sense and reenabling it the homescreen is still locked up and had to reset again just now

havent tried mobitv but barnes noble is still waiting for the update

id say the the only really annoying thing so far is not having the clock on the taskbar and the battery not showing percentage

question for anyone with tmo.

i just set up my account yesterday and my data is not working properly but i dont want to give customer service a call since i got the phone early. everything works on wifi but on opera when i try to browse over data i get taken to a site saying my plan isnt compatible but i definetly have the unlimited data

Yea your phone probably isnt provisioned right. You would think that if you data plan worked with your old phone it would be the same when you switch, but I think they want to keep tabs on what phone you are using.

and the start menu just has the "move to top" option. does anyone have the cab to make the icons draggable

I know it's a double post, sorry.

Would be nice if any of you who got it early could contribute to this thread, I remember the OP hoping for a way to get his hands on the TMOUS SD card. The games and Transformers movies who be nice to share :p.

Hello,

I'm new to these forums and have tried to pick the right place to address my dilemma. I have a Droid Eris running Android 2.1 which i do enjoy a lot. My 2 year contact with verizon is now up. I've been considering buying the TP2 at its two year contract price. I feel like I would enjoy a hardware keyboard for texting over the onscreen one that the eris has. I haven't had a Win Mobile phone before either. I really like Android and understand it's in the process of being developed to work on the TP2? But it's not quite finished yet? I would love to hear some pros and cons of the CMDA TP2. I'm also knew to custom Rom's, so if that could be explained.... anything would be much appreciated. I'm really thinking of switching to this phone.

Thanks,

Sam
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Fin9ers:
Yo sam,

Welcome to the forum.

If you do go for TP2, you've made a good choice. I wont hype it up too much as ive never really used Android that much. So i wouldnt know how good it is day to day.

Anyways,

Personally i prefer Windows Mobile over android, just for the simple reason that to me, its like a mini pc. It does pretty much everything i do on my pc. Which means i can take my pc out with me lol.

The phone itself is pretty good. its handle most of what i thrown at it. and i live with it every day without any troubles. I glad i chose it.

In a nut shell. A ROM is the software that runs the device.

There's Stock ROMs - From the device manufacturer (in this case HTC)

There's Branded ROMs - Usually Stock ROM with Service Provider carbage slapped all over it

And there's Custom ROMs - Stripped dry of carbage. More up to date. Usually packed with extra features

Check this thread if you want to read up a bit more on custom roms:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] akashastrega:
I'd like to add that WinMo is a workhorse. It isn't as pretty or flashy as droids or iPhones, which are made more for fun factor...media, texts, games, etc.

If that's what you like, you may be disappointed with the TP2.

If you want a solid device that will keep you on track in personal and business life, if you want a device that will be reliable then you want a TP2. This is a WORKING device, with PLAYING device capabilities. Meaning, you can have media and texts and facebook,all that, but where it excels is at the business level.

I am a busy mom. I am on PTA committees. I am a cancer survivor. My device keeps me on schedule. I can make numerous phone calls. I can fire off an email, text a PTA member, edit a school bulletin, research something online for my kids, and even listen to FM radio or my own playlist while waiting at the doc office. Yes, I can facebook, but it isn't as quick to access as on a Droid or iPhone. I can do all of this simultaneously...it may slow a bit, but never crashes. I can also do all of this and only need to charge my device once every day to day and a half. I never power down my device. I am not gentle on my device. I keep saying that HTC WinMo is like Timex. As I said, this is a workhorse, it can be flashy and pretty, but first and foremost it is to work.

Figure out what your needs are, then decide if WinMo is for you. If you are a busy person, then WinMo is definitely what you need.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] leebsammy:
ok thank you both for your responses! I'm a college student who will be using this for more than just fun. However, my biggest use of a cell phone will always be texting.. that's one of the biggest reasons i see the TP2 as a great alternative from the eris, because of the hw keyboard. i do like the eye candy that android comes with, like facebook auto syncing contacts information with contacts you have on your phone, pics, etc... overall though isn't the TP2 a better more capable phone?? and how far along is the android development on this devise?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] akashastrega:
I briefly had a droid phone before getting my TP2. Part of the reason for the response quickness is because of the type of screen they use...that being said, the TP2 is not a slow phone...it may seem slower at first, but as I said before, its capabilities are currently (I think) better than droid.

As a texting phone, I have had no issues, and I installed a third party app called SPB Group SMS which allows me to send mass text messageges to pre-designated groups. I love the physical keyboard, it was well thought out in its design and makes fat finger texting easy.

I previously had an HTC Wizard with WinMo, which I used to take notes in class, as well as write then sync/copy to my PC any college papers. The TP2 has Office as my Wizard did, so this will be useful to you as a student.

The browsers, both pIE and Opera are decent, and makes it easy to look up info on the fly. It has a micro SD slot, which on mine currently has a 4gig card, so there is more than enough expansion capabilities--room for school notes, pictures, music, whatever.

This device can do pretty much everything a droid can do, but it does it with oomf, and the best part is that the battery life is great, and the device is solid.

As for droid to TP2 development, it seems to be coming along at a nice clip...it is still not 100% fully functional, but, unlike a droid device, has been made with dual boot abilities...so you can have WinMo and eventually a working droid. Check out the actual sub-forum and read, read, read...you will learn much about how the process is going.

Hi, this is my first post - so I hope I've not made any mistakes/bads...

I thought I'd share my first PocketCM Keybaord v0.14 skin called "Black n Green" with you all.

I created it because I've gone for a black theme on my kaiser with green as the highlight colour for selected text/buttons/menu item etc..

To use it you will need to install PocketCM Keyboard v0.14 (available freely from the author's own website, go google it).

To install the skin:

1. Unzip and copy the two files to the directory PCMKeyboard is installed in on your PPC (\Program Files\PCMKeyboard by default).

2. Select PCM Keyboard as your keyboard (use arrow next to keyboard symbol)

3. Go to the options for PCMKeyboard (On keyboard: press & hold enter then slide finger to Opt. button)

4. Select Eng black_n_green for the layout

5. Select black_n_green for the skin

6. OK

It's QVGA, should work with any 240px wide screen (I think). I haven't got a VGA device (using a Tytn II) so haven't done a VGA version. It works in landscape too, although I use the Tytn's keyboard then :)

I'm thinking about making the shift key bigger (by making the delete key smaller)...

> > U P D A T E < <

Many thanks go to RR33 who has very kindly done the VGA conversion with the hres images I supplied. I've added the (W)VGA version to the ZIP in this post. Last screenshots are VGA

Hope you like it,

Karl.
[Windows Mobile Themes] RR33:
Yeah PCMKeyboard is one of my favorite SIP and v0.14 is better than v0.2x to me

Very nice, keep up the good work ;)

it would be nice to do a (W)VGA version : I can do it to complete your work if you want and if you have PNG in higher resolution than QVGA :) (it's not good to upsize pics from QVGA to WVGA as you know)

Official Link to PocketCM Keyboard v0.14 : HERE :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] KarlChick:
Resources for (W)VGA conversion

Thanks RR33 for your kind words.

I've created the key.png and key1p.png for VGA resolution (assuming that the dimensions are doubled). For the QVGA skin I then used these to create the B/M/E parts... The rest are supplied as masks for alpha channel in the hi-res image (enter, shift, backspace).

I also put in some mod'd buttons with brighter reflections, but haven't tried them out. Also attached all as a ZIP.

I'm not going to create a VGA version as I have no way of testing it... but feel free to have a go.
