Anyone have the Sims 3?

Here is my house: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_VAfbiouvI

Post your Sims 3 lives here.
[Off-topic] trinest:
Sims 3 was a big disapointment, and the first expansion I could let slide- as it kind of was interesting- (though I didn't buy it), and the second one (aka the just announced one) is so horrible I can't even think to describe it- wow an expansion pack centered around Jobs- great idea. Maybe they should fix the town system first before introducing more pointless features that should of been in the game from day one.
[Off-topic] ~~Tito~~:
They had to make that expansion, because there was an obvious hole in the job system. Now you can actually work for 8 Sim hours and have more game play. They also do that for the money.
[Off-topic] rorytmeadows:
I need Sim City 6
[Off-topic] fiktion:
I had Sims 3, but I could not fast forward anything and had to sit through pointless crap like work and showers and sleep. No fun. Gave it away.
[Off-topic] ~~Tito~~:
You can fast forward stuff? I love the last FF button where it only fast forwards until that action is finished. I just recently aquired the 2 latest expansions, haven't had a chance to play with them.

Also, you look exactly like Jorry in your picture from the "Is it a good Idea to this microwave Show" on Youtube.

[Off-topic] fiktion:
I meant that I could not fast forward anything. FF was broken for me. Not functioning. FF was the same as normal speed, for me...

Got ya.

I cant wait for the jobs expansion.

Greetings!

I have Hard SPLed my T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 and wanted to see if it was possible to get it to work on the Sprint network as I have no SIM card for my current sprint phone.

Does anyone know how to get my T-Mobile version working on a Sprint Network?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] petard:
Not possible.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] honestgabe00:
GSM phones (like the T-Mo TP2) will not work on CDMA networks (like Sprint)

Also, CDMA networks do not use SIM cards.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
To make completely clear (maybe): The T-Mo branded TP2 lacks the radio

hardware

to connect to the Sprint or Verizon network.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ajac:
GSM touch pro 2 lack cdma wont work. Even if it had CDMA its ESN is not in sprints data base thus wont work. Best to have a sprint touch pro 2 can use it on every network with no issue ( even hard of it being successfully activated on verzion go figure)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] devis:
Sptint tightly guards their ESN list and does not add anything Sprint branded. Verizon will, not for a matter of policy but how nice you are to the store manager. So yes, it isn't unheard of.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
Are you saying that the T-Mobile hardware is capable of CDMA in addition to GSM? That's the first I've heard of it. I thought that HTC built different hardware versions.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
No...he was off-topic for your original post (he was responding to the post before his).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] devis:
Absolutely not.

What I am saying is that one would be able to get a Sprint branded phone, or anything CDMA, to work on Verizon. I was mostly responding to the second part of the post regarding non Verizon phones being activated on their network.
[General Questions and Answers] jebise101:
i have a samsung omnia 2 and have spb installed everything is great, but i would like to use some of the default samsung apps instead of the default windows or default spb. So for example is there a way so the alarm button launches a different app such as the samsungg one instead of windows default?

I would like to do this for sms, contacts, email missed call, voice message etc. I like the spb icons since they tell me how many messages or emails i have but hate it loading the default windows apps when i have such touch friendly samsung ones.

Or is there is a simple way to change the icons, that way i can add the apps i want and just change the icon so it looks the same as before and shows the notifications of call/messages.
[General Questions and Answers] cyanide911:
I don't think there's a direct way to do that, but here's what I do. I installed the MobileSense theme for SPB 3.5, then placed the messaging, alarm etc widgets on the screen. Then, I added an application shortcut to my desired messaging app. Then, I changed the skin of the messaging app to a transparent one (available in MobileSense automatically) and placed it over the SPB messaging widget.

Hi everybody :)

I have a question: is there any autolock application in HD2 like max manila autolock (device will lock when rotate screen 180 degree)

Can anybody help me

Thanks :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] adamo86:
the screen locks when you press power button or the back light goes off.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Azzura:
But I don't like to use power button (it seen not very pro :p)

I like max manila autolock very much

Can anybody help me?

What's your opinion about new OS on HD2? ★ Android or WP7 ? ★ [google wins]

Vs ​

Hi Guys.

Do you know, windows phone 7 can't run windows 6.5.x or older Win programs !!!

so WP7 is completly a new OS ...

Also possibility of running Android is more than WP7 on HD2.

If I want choose a new OS for my hd2, I choose Android...

What about you? :cool:
[HD2 General] Laurentius26:
Hi,

With everything you got to start somewhere....

You say WP7 is a complete new OS not backwards compatible but it's just like Android

at beginning there wasn't much compatible neither. ;)

I've tried Android but to my opinion it will be never as good as Windows.

Don't like it.

Grtz Leo :)
[HD2 General] OrionBG:
1+ for Android!

Not that I like it soo much but WP7S have soo many limitations that really criple even the HD2 that I'm not willing to live with! Most of all the lack of multitasking! Second I really like WM for being PC like OS and WP7S is NOT!
[HD2 General] Tokolosh:
We haven't got that now so where's the difference?
[HD2 General] OrionBG:
WM6.5 is a multitasking OS to my knoledge! You can have many apps working at the same time and they do work at the same time! You can have the media player playing a song while you browse the web can't you?
[HD2 General] Laurentius26:
Who told you this story WP7 isn't Multitasking and wm6.5 is? :confused::D
[HD2 General] love is me:
+1 WM7

i dont think i am going to chagne from windows to any OS anytime soon ;)

regarding lack of applications, within days after releasing WM7 I assure you, lots of application will be avaliable for it as most of the companies already started developing applications for it.

As WM7 is a new Platform instead of a new version, rumor says it may has a compatability wizard as found on Windows 7 where you can run your old application according to the WM version built for it ;)

regarding the drop of multitasking, still a rumor, also the rumor says, they will replace the multitask with a Pause Application. The rumor goes on to mention that Windows Mobile 7 will allow apps to be “paused,” rather than allowing them to continue running in the background. That pretty much means Windows Mobile 7 will allow apps to save their current state when the user closes them or switches to another app. When the “paused” app is reactivated, the user will see the app exactly as they had left it – text intact, cursors in the same place, document scrolled to the same position, and maps pointing to where you left off. The rumor also makes mention of a push notification system, similar to the way iPhone apps notify iPhone users of updates even when the apps are not running.
[HD2 General] tighoor:
which one? i know, 6.5.x is a good windows. yes maybe windows 6.5 is better than andoird but wp7 is a OS that just called windows. it is another os with new intarface with no program... because windows phone 7 can't run windows 6.5.x or older Windows programs

i think android will have more and better apps...
[HD2 General] Laurentius26:
Android 1.6, didn't like the interface and didn't see the benefits.

Actualy to me it looked like a cheap copy of MS Windows.

Can you name a few benefits of Android, real benefits I mean no personal opinions like 'it's running faster, is more stable' for example?

And how would you know it will have more apps?

Grtz Leo
[HD2 General] manuelcalavera:
good to see u here tighoor,

actually, i think android is kinda shallow. it forces me to think that the android is just a layer on some childish OS
[HD2 General] adamelphick:
There is another problem with Android.... if the Apple lawsuit works then Android will be all but dead. It has infringed so many patents (according to Apple) that the US market will be zero, and aparently the Euro market will also be effected to the point the OS is crippled!

I hope Apple fail but just to keep this in mind.
[HD2 General] tighoor:
but see :D

40% need Android ...

Developers ... please help to 40% of HTC HD2 owners ...
[HD2 General] OrionBG:
All the previews and technical talks about WP7S I've read and wathed over the net suggest that the OS win NOT have fully working multitasking support! Yes you can have multiple programs running but they will be on something like pause while in background! Atleast this is what I've seen till now. We will have to wait some more months to see the end result! I'm not an Android follower too but if an alternative to WM6.5 is possible on the HD2 I'll choose Google's creation!

But once again it is too early to make a choice yet! Lets see what will MS's OS be and then we can decide!

About Apple! They are desperate becouse HTC's handsets are getting more popular than the i**** 3GS and the HTC Hero won the "phone of the year" award! Why don't they sue Samsung or Acer, or LG or even Motorola? They all build Android devices! Just think what will happen to the iPhone if Google decides to stop Apple's device access to their services! iPhone RIP!!! :D

Oh I forgot about Nokia (most of the new symbian touch screen handsets slide their menus with a finger) Asus (GarminAsus devices) an so on and so on... Apple should sue the all industry! In my unproffesional opinion they are not verry well (mentally)

Excuse my bad English!
[HD2 General] Laurentius26:
And Microsoft is waiting how Apple and Google kill each other hihi.. LoL :D
[HD2 General] OrionBG:
I think that Apple don't stand a chance against Google! If they try to fight google it will be like trying to cut the branch you are on!
[HD2 General] mightymn:
I'd prefer 6.5.X or a jailbroken WP7s.

I currently kinda hate android's interface and I think it's really slower than it should be on a 1GHz snapdragon (Nexus1). Something like the transition between homescreens shouldn't lag, but it does.

If future versions are better I may like them, but in it's current state no.
[HD2 General] xda2_haseeb:
+1 Windows Phone 7 Series

From what i have seen WP7S is much much more beautiful than the Android OS. Also WP7S will have a great range of Games and Software once after it is launched. It'll be totally much more fun as i dont run any Google OS on my PC :P but Microsoft Windows :D
[HD2 General] voileuxcool:
android !!!

Wm7 is very poor for me !
[HD2 General] Mehrdad201:
I Prefer win 7
[HD2 General] sezarsf:
hey god........in my advice if micrsoft take off on his pertinacity & release se7en for hd2 win7 az the best os for ppc
[HD2 General] lancguy:
I clicked to vote for WP7, but I might change it.

Assuming that the basics are there (see below), it will allow me to standardize software on our home network. Wife and both daughters have Zunes, but I have a HD2 and still need to use WM12. In the scheme of things it's not a big issue, but simplicity is becoming a bigger issue. I thought convergence would help us. I believe WP 7 will acheive that.:)

Now about basics. Every article read, videoed, discussed there has not been any mention of the phone itself. I have never seen anyone dial a number. I've never seen voice dialing or voicemail. Jeez, the biggest disappointment with my HD2 is the lack of voice dialing. If WP7 is designed to be a party tool so you can play games and watch videos and hang with friends, then what makes it different from a ZuneHD. I want a phone, and I want to know what it does for the business user. I know MIX is coming up, but will we see anything about the phone side. Ultimately that will let me make my final decision.:confused:
[HD2 General] lynne02191:
I chose android, cos wm os is really disappointing compared to other mobile os e.g. web os, iphone os atm

some ppl might say hd2 already bested many other phones but imo thats only bebause it has really good specs and supports multitouch, other than that, wm os is the worst imo.
[HD2 General] DN41:
imho, hd2 is the best phone ever :P (lets wait what'll come :P)

i mean, SENSE is so nice, that its not relevant for me on which os it runs.

but i would prefer wp7, because i'm a windows enthusiast, either on pc or on smartphone :)

DN41
[HD2 General] tkalli:
Windows 7 Series in not released, yet.

Rumors and some videos are.

Difficult to know what the actual OS will be.

For me, I will wait and see.

My HD2 does everything I need and is fast and stable.

I tried the iPhone and went back to WM.

I prefer Windows. It is not perfect, but nothing is.

:)

[HD2 General] BEHNOOOOD:
i prefer android os.

BECAUSE android is an open source platform...

we are waiting for android on HTC HD2...:cool:
[HD2 General] GamerMYJ:
If all the devs abandon winmo 6.5 for 7, (I doubt they will), I will switch to Android. For sure.
[HD2 General] tighoor:
yeap ! we are waiting for android... not waiting for wp7...

see poll result:

50% - 50%

if we open new poll next mounth , result of poll will be: 90% Android... ;-)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
but what about people that dont want to go android or wp7, do we not get to vote?
[HD2 General] MirasHD2:
HD2 + Android = AMAZING! ;)
[HD2 General] tighoor:
this poll is for hd2's owner that want have new OS... :-P

you can still 6.5.x or install Brew OS or Mac or MS-DOS :-D
[HD2 General] tighoor:
haha... android 52% ...

5 hours ago androids was 40%

... it is really a big changing in users ideas...

Also Apps Creators will change their strategy to leave win mob or win phone and join to Android CLUB...;)
[HD2 General] da_prophit:
HTC HD2 with WM6.5 + Andriod (Dual Boot) = Heaven!

Looks like the XDAndroid team has a fully working Andriod Rom for the tp2 and ive seen a dual boot method for some other HTC phones. I think this for the HD2 Would give us the winmo 6.5 we all 'LOVE' and a chance to play with and use apps in Android
[HD2 General] GrimtheViking:
Future Support for WM 6.5 on HD2

Iam more than happy with WM 6.5 on HD2 for now, and I dont think win 7 looks that good anyway, now dual boot to what ever,, that sounds interesting.....
[HD2 General] tighoor:
google wins ... lol
[HD2 General] manuelcalavera:
no one buys a Ferrari in order to have Peugeot's options in it - someday - :D uh, except you ;)

so why dont u buy a hd2 for yourself tighoor ?

seems you're so eager to lay your hands on it,
[HD2 General] tighoor:
i have hd2... i know 6.5 now is better than android... but we speak about new OS...

.

55% is low? why developers dont release android for hd2?
[HD2 General] Sheldonjace:
My vote is for Android right now.

Don't get me wrong I love WM. I've had 2 Zune's and want the ZuneHD but I just don't like the concept of WP7. Seems very sloppy to me and unorganized.

When it comes to my phone I love to organize and have everything streamlined. Nexus One was the first well spec'd Android phone its a joy to play around with. Can't imagine running it on the HD2 specs (mainly screen :D). Even though I know how hard it would be to port 2.1 over to begin with.

Android has a great established community of developers on XDA and it grows and grows every week it seems with people just evolving the phone. I've been part of many WM forums, BB forums, and of course Android and the one I enjoy the most is Android. Just a different vibe.
[HD2 General] mskip:
My vote is for WM6.5 with HTC Sense can I do that? :rolleyes:

Out of the 2 available choices given I think I would rather go for WP7 than android. I just dont like the look and feel of android especially for business related matters which is why I bought an HD2 and not a hero lol.

Windows Mobile 7 is definitely the future as long as they get it right but I dont think I will like the userbility of it. I look forward to getting my hands on it but have a feeling that after playing around with it for a day or 2 I will go back to WM6.5 and Sense.

My final view is that Windows Mobile 7 is still in development and noone even knows what the final product will contain and how it will feel so theres not even any point speculating about that. I dont know what the progression is with an Android port on the HD2 but since the phone has only been out for 3 months I think views and discussions about android should be kept in the relevant development threads. Last thing we want is another Windows vs Android fight lol.

Mark.
[HD2 General] ryuu55:
I still like 6.5 over android, but WP7 doesn't sound that great. I was tempted to pickup the nexus one, but just couldn't resist the HD2. I'll wait to see what WP7 looks like when complete. I understand M$ rebooting the WinMo platform to "improve" user experience (to obtain new users), but I like the openness of WinMo. If I'm going to have to start all over M$ will have to impress, or Android will be my new os of choice.
[HD2 General] All Day On XDA:
Triple boot|

I wonder if it would be possible to triple boot the HD2 one day? ie WP7S, WM6.5 and Android....
[HD2 General] kilrah:
WM6.5>android>WP7 for me.

From the first looks I don't like WP7 but as nobody has first-hand experience or solid details about it I'm not taking that into account.

So it ends last ONLY because it's a whole new OS, which means that it will yet again have insufficient software offerings for a couple of years until developers have released the good stuff. Android wins because it's just getting out of that phase now.
[HD2 General] mskip:
Hmm and maybe we could get an addon card for an extra 1GB internal Rom to be able to take 3 seperate operating systems on 1 phone :rolleyes:

Maybe not.. :p

[HD2 General] :
Microsoft knows that WM series is dying (http://www.gsmarena.com/bars_and_pi...o_mobile_phone_usage_and_owners-news-1474.php). Microsoft hopes that WPS7 will do magic. But, they've forgetten that FREE is "better" to developer/manufacturer.

Android as an open source and further back-up by Google (who 'think' will eat both Apple and Microsoft...one day) is developed by strong technical team. These Google/Android techies market their product based on "user requirement" and not based on "necessity".

Jumping from 0.5% (in 2008) to 3.9% (2009) convinced me that most manufacturers will "invest" on Android (http://www.gsmarena.com/2009_world_handset_sales_ranked_iphone_os_eats_winmo-news-1469.php).

In fact you can see today, most of the current high-end phones are Android platform. Unless, WPS7 makes magic, manufacturers are willing to 'invest' on WPS7.

So, for "today", my vote goes to ANDROID.
[HD2 General] xda2_haseeb:
This might convince the Android fans, check it out:

[HD2 General] manuelcalavera:
oh my bad

knew that already

i meant Nexus One
[HD2 General] aceo07:
Not really. :)

Android is nice and I have a HTC Dream. I have used Android 2.1 and 1.6. (I'm not a fan, I use what works best for what I need.) The video make my 528mhz Dream seem fast compared to the WP7s phone.

2 things concern me about the videos.

1. 'working prototype'. It's coming out at the end of the year, it should be more than a prototype! They're going to have to work extra hard to get it fully working by release time!

2. 'localised to Barcelona'. The presenter basically said the phone was hardcoded to the MWC location. This means GPS and related stuff is not fully working yet! If it wasn't hardcoded, he didn't need to tell the interviewer in advance and could have changed it. This may explain why they ALWAYS look up 'pizza' or 'sushi'.
[HD2 General] SMS92:
Android - though I'd probably not flash Android for another year (if it was an option now.

Simply put, I believe it's the geeks next platform. WM7 will be targetted at the mainstream, fair enough M$, but could well be too restricted for us.

Android development is starting to explode and everyone's taking notice. If flashing with Android became an option the HD2 would live on long after WM7's introduction on new handsets.

How's development going anyway? ;)
[HD2 General] XDA mark:
New OS on the HD2? 7 Series. Even if they get Android working, it will first lack Wifi, then GPS, camera.. etc etc. If you want an Android device, buy an Android device. I think 7 Series would work much better on a HTC HD2.

Android OS is getting much more atractive each day though. So if this was a general Android OS vs 7 Series, I would say Android. With Android we KNOW the App Market is good, and growing very fast. With Android we KNOW it is hot, and developers are all jumping on board. I would seriously buy an HTC Desire in April and maybe start looking again at 7 Series after the first 6-12 months have passed since it's release.
[HD2 General] TechMiX:
my vote definitely goes for Android ...

but WP7 is a good choice too ...after all, why not a dual boot?! :D
[HD2 General] theclueless:
google make stuff on what they think the user would want; hell, there is still no multiple tab closing dialog and clear history and cache on close on chrome, they dont even offer the option to turn them on because they said it is not "necessary"

i used nexus one for a week, and im bored. sure, there are a lot of free stuff on the marketplace, but none of them i actually need/want, there are only a handful that are actually useful; not to mention games to kill time, besides the emulators, i cant find a few decent games on marketplace that can keep on entertained for 10 minutes (exception of crystallight, that game is freaking fun) i would much rather pay for a decent application, than have a million free ones that are crappy
[HD2 General] tighoor:
:D what about quad boot? wm and android and symbian and windows se7en
[HD2 General] xda2_haseeb:
I would say we are getting a bit carries away :P it'll be like having two different ROMs on the same device for dualboot, as Android and WM has different bootloader, until/unless Windows Mobile bootloader can boot into linux bootloader direct :P then only will we need one ROM :) but still two partitions :P
[HD2 General] dsoundman:
ANDRIOD PLEASE !!!!! any idea when its coming?
[HD2 General] marko987:
6.5 is best

well I have to say WP7 IS SOMETHING THAT WILL NEVER BE ON MY PHONE that os is so bad that I can compare it with iphone android its not bad but I dont like it.you take hd2 with cookie and say miri dinik rom and any android lets say evo hd2 is 10x good looking then evo.

evo is hardware better then hd2 but I would never buy it because I LOVE 6.5 that os is perfect (for me)think ms was wrong because they didnt make new os on basics of 6.5 only with some changes so better hardware can put on phone like more colors or cameras or dualcore cpu and software new stuff but wp7 is something that is same as Iphone no multitouch(well there is something of multitouch like in s40 hehe) no file menager no TF3D my old symbian have more file menagment options then Iphone or wp7.I would like that there would be new phones with higher spec but with wm6.5 but know that can be done.

sorry for my bad eng
