Just a potential warning to all who are interested in Co-Pilot, since I understand there is a demo on Leo. I BOUGHT Co-pilot, in an effort to get something with decent TTS, and it is a horror story for accuracy. Can't even get me to work or home without painfully messing up directions. That App itself is nicely done, as I am sure the demo indicates. Understand, this is NOT only a case of inaccurate maps (yes, I updated them, using the app's map updater) It actually showed tracks of me going down a differnt road than what I had used. VERY dissapointing.
[HD2 General] DonDolowy:
I purchased Co-Pilot with US maps for my vacation in San Diego two weeks ago. I used it every day and was very satisfied. High accuracy. It only detoured me few times wanting me to take an exit on the freeway and then the entrance to the same freeway.
[HD2 General] wingtytn:
it works fine for me too did u download duttys copilot
[HD2 General] DeoreDX:
I bought it and I'm very pleased so far. First software I've bought for a WinMo phone (not counting FPSECE but that was more of a donation.
[HD2 General] methodz:
ya i'm using it and found it more accurate than ndrive. sorry it didn't work out for you but i is fantastic for me.
[HD2 General] agentaaron:
I use and like Copilot as well. I had it on my Android phones befor the google navigation was released and still preffer it to googles free alternative.

...It was the first software I purchased when I got my HD2...has always been pleasing to use and accurate...sorry to hear you had bad luck with it.
[HD2 General] baymon:
Same here. It actually performs better than my TomTom, and plus it has free text-to-speech feature now, which is awesome.
[HD2 General] ryuu55:
I like it. For me its better that TomTom 7, and my old TomTom standalone. I have been very please w/ copilot, especially with the price.
[HD2 General] methodz:
hellz ya, i remember buying a magellan roadmate from costco for $1100

how times have changes huh?
[HD2 General] sancmat:
I've been using copilot since january and I love it. Make sure you download the version from www.alk.com/htc. It is an updated version specific for HD2. Don't forget to get the link for free Text to Speach upgrade (http://www.alk.com/copilot/copilot8-tts.asp).
[HD2 General] MartinXDA:
You guys should definitely try iGO 8. It's simply great! It has 3d view, TTS, plus the option to choose whether to use maps from NAVTEQ or TELE ATLAS, thus giving you plenty of choices. I'm pretty sure it should work just fine all over the US (near 100% map coverage from TA) :)
[HD2 General] sancmat:
The us version of IGO8 is OnCourse Navigator 8. I used to have it. It was very good but required that you use their 8gb sd card and is $100. To me the 3d buildings was a bit of a gimmick. I can see where I am just fine on the maps without seeing the buildings.
[HD2 General] eenbox:
Get a Garmin XT for WM... it's a great navi!
[HD2 General] Olderram:
I've had my HTC about 3 weeks and it's the first smartphone I've had so my question may be a bit stupid to you experts :o

I'm on pay monthly )2 if that makes a difference?

I've had problems with text messages randomly getting stuck in outbox and not being sent.

I've searched on the internet and found HTC have issued a fix LEO08007-07 so I downloaded it from the HTC site and have installed it.

It appears the TODAY app with all the weather , pictures, music shortcuts has now disappeared and I'm getting a blank front screen. The settings menu has changed and I cant access the HTC Message app at all

What have I done wrong and how can I get it back.

Sorry - just found Today shortcut (moved to a different part of screen but it's not working

I also forgot to add ROM 1.43 something

Sorry if it's straightforward. Cheers guys
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
If you've not done too many customisations I'd suggest a hard reset. To do this, turn the unit off, hold down both vol up and vol down and turn it back on and follow the screen instructions. I'd recommend doing this with both SD card and SIM card removed to be on the safe side
[HD2 General] Olderram:
Thanks for that help. It's got me back to the start:)

Is there anything else 'easy' I can do to stop the texts getting stuck in my outbox?

Is there anything els you'd recommend for a newbie to do.

The ROM is 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE

I hope you guys don't mind helping. As it's my first win mob I want to try and make the most of it but I'm not really tech minded
[HD2 General] rikardo1979:

[Hero CDMA General] Jedis:
I've noticed this issue without a case and with the Otterbox.

Ringtone volume is cut in half if it's sitting down on a flat surface. If it's propped up a bit, the volume gets twice as loud, making it easy to hear from another room.

Has anyone else noticed this and done something about it? Was thinking of trying to find something small to stick to the back of the phone that would raise it up a bit when it's set down.
[Hero CDMA General] doojer:
It's just science. Pressing the speaker against a surface will always muffle it. But raising it slightly above a hard surface will cause the sound to reverberate off the surface and will make the volume sound louder.

I have a piece of velcro (the soft side) stuck to the back of my phone where the Google logo is that I use to mount the phone with in my car. It achieves the effect you desire perfectly.
[Hero CDMA General] KBizzle:
That is because the ringtone sound comes from the speaker on the back of your phone. Cover it up and it is going to get lower. Put it on its face.
[Hero CDMA General] doojer:
But, the OP is right that it will actually sound the loudest if you have it on it's back, slightly raised, so the sound is reverberating off the surface. And, if you are using it as a speakerphone, you will muffle the mic by laying it on it's face.

I personally wouldn't have added the velcro just for this reason, but it does come in handy when using speakerphone at my desk.
[Hero CDMA General] KBizzle:
I can understand the science behind it. I didnt realize he was trying to achieve maximum sound, just that it was going quiet on him. Even with my Diamond, I used to cup my hand around the speaker to direct the sound at my face while I watched Youtube. Still use the technique with my Hero.
[Hero CDMA General] subliminalurge:
The flip side to this is that it seems to have much better sound quality when it's set down on a hard surface. Music sounds much better when my phone is sitting on my desk than when I pick it up or have it in my shirt pocket. Seems to have better bass when lying down, less "tinny" sounding. (Not that you're every going to get *amazing* sound out of such a tiny speaker, though.)
[Hero CDMA General] Tikerz:
LOL.

[Hero CDMA General] joelmalachy:
I thought my phone's speaker was broken!!! I wondered why after returning it 4 times, it still sounded muffled when I set it down.

Thanks for all this helpful information.:):):):)
[Hero CDMA General] KBizzle:
Apparently someone didnt get an A in science!!! Lol.
[Hero CDMA General] scirio:
Hey guys I have a related question. When I SCUBA dive with my phone I can't hear it ring and it gets all messed up when I get out of the water. Anybody else notice this?
[Hero CDMA General] Darkshneider:
LOL! Use a ziplock bag.
[Hero CDMA General] Tikerz:
I have a little different problem. When I put my phone on silent mode, I can't hear the phone ring. Is there something wrong with my phone?
[Hero CDMA General] KBizzle:
Ha ha, here is some more proverbial wood for the fire **wood**. Hopefully it is enough to keep the flame going.:D
[Hero CDMA General] subliminalurge:
I'd take it back to the Sprint store. Something's obviously messed up.
[Hero CDMA General] coldsweat:
Am I high, or was there really an entire thread created to ask this question.

PS. When my phone rings I pick it up and there seems to be another human at the other end...whats going on here?
[Hero CDMA General] subliminalurge:
That's just the government spying on you. Nothing to be worried about.
[Hero CDMA General] KBizzle:
Its the census guy. Tell him nothing!!!!
[Hero CDMA General] 151jcolon:
my new phone is giving me headache. why? this is science. lol new bluetooth.
[Hero CDMA General] KBizzle:
Is that Jordy Laforge?
[Hero CDMA General] atoz350:
Actually, the Hero's speaker is designed to be louder when set on a flat surface. The speaker projects outward on either side so that the surface can pick it up and amplify it. With the Otterbox case, you have parts of the case hanging over the sides of the speaker, negating that design.
[Hero CDMA General] KBizzle:
Interesting.
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
True.

I am impressed with how loud the phone projects when you set it on a table... works awesome when on speakerphone.
[Hero CDMA General] frostrunner:

[Desire General] jannen:
Guys - what is the easiest way to convert DVDs to watch on Desire? Is there any good free tools out there and what format/settings should be used for best pic?

I got the AnyVideoConverter, but as far as I can see it only does in 640x480 format... please advice a newbie! Thanks!
[Desire General] blackfox888:
HTC Touch HD Video Convertor v1.2 allows you to covert output res of 800x480, i haven't tried it yet but I already read someone tried it and work great for HTC desire.
[Desire General] carrige:
Is conversion necessary? Can the Desire play .vob files right out of the box or with some app? That is, unless space is a major concern...

(I don't actually know the answers to those questions, mind. Just wondering.)
[Desire General] Bandare:
I was wondering the same thing. Any links to the best software for converting?

You could always try the Videora Android Converter. I use the Videora iPod Classic Converter for my.. well, for my iPod Classic. And it works like a charm!

[Desire General] Cr4zyB4st4rd:
Doesn't appear too, was rumoured the phone would be updated to support it though.

Personally i use badaboom, GPU encoding is much better then CPU. Doesnt do 800x480 but 720x480 is good enough.
[HD2 General] SagaPer:
Hello there.

I have read all the threads in this forum about enabling SIP calling with WinMo 6.5. On my HD2 I have installed missing files in Windows, installed Config tool 2.0 for setting up SIP account, enabled port 5060 in registry, enabled calling via Internet in Phone settings and so on.

BTW: It looks that I have to load and save config file through the Config tool every time I soft reset the phone...

The phone interface now displays the name of the SIP config: IPLINK. Does that mean that my phone has a connection to the SIP pbx?

When I try to make a call inside Norway, ex: +47 9003xxxx I get an error message that says "Cannot complete the call. The signal can be unavailable or the phone number is not valid. Check the number and try again later".

I have tried all number combinations (with or without international code), same message...

What is wrong with my phone or my config?
[HD2 General] cubalibre79:
Hey there,

I've been playing around with configuring voip calls on wm, with no luck, but I believe that that error you refer to, comes when the number you dial does not match the rules in your ipdialplan.xml. Also I noticed that it gives that error when the number you are calling is not reachable on that moment.
[HD2 General] SagaPer:
I have read all the posts about this topic but it's hard to understand how to set up the ipdialplan.xml.

I have made my HTC HD2 ready for Voip calling and everyting looks fine exept from calling. The phone returns "Cannot complete the call. The signal can be unavailable or the phone number is not valid. Check the number and try again later".

All my numbers is stored like this: +47 70080900 or +4770080900. International call out of Norway: 00. All phone numbers inside Norway is 8 digits.

What part do I have to change in this dialplan to match my country settings and my phonebook entries?

PS: The ipdialplan.xml from my phone is attached in a separate file.
[HD2 General] zabique:
Just use PortSIP app it's just great!
[HD2 General] SagaPer:
Please stick to subject.
[HD2 General] SagaPer:
I have played a litle around with the ipdialplan.xml file and after editing the 10-digit rule calls now work via SIP when I enter 8 digits in a row.

I also tried to edit the 11-digit rule section but found no solution.

As I mentioned earlier my phonebook contain numbers in the form of +47 70080900 or +4770080900.

There is 4 lines with rules in the 11-digit section. How should they look like to cover my needs?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] xWOLKx:
Hello everybody,

I have a bad problem with my diamond, yesterday I tried to update my Gen.Y 5.3 ROM with Memo 2.5.1.0 ROM.

After flashing, my diamond will restart, as always, but the first time it makes an error with trying install something like "windowslive.update".

After this error my device was blocked.

I had remove the battery and restart it, nothing to do, it remaing blocked into first black screen so you see the ROM version.

So I have make hard and soft reset but nothing.

So I have launched bootloader with volDown+Reset and reflash Diamond with Gen.Y 5.5, now my device starts (not always) but after a little second it blocked again.

I need to remove the battery, but always the ROM reinstall himself with reset of contacts,SMS and recalibrate e reinstall all programs...

anybody have any idea what can I do?

A lot of users are developing their own WM6.5 ROMs :)

My question is: to flash this WM version, do I have to do this:

Thank you veru much.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] deepankerjha:
exactly....but u have to have hardspl 1.22 instlled on ur device to be at the safest side.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Maxxd01:
Of course, but I still have to run sspl 1.16 on the device ?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] dmx_nigga:
Yes! First, you need sspl 1.16, then hspl 1.22!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
I've noticed that a lot of users ask me to help because it didn't work for them, I always asked what they did and the most of them did everything the correct way but still it didn't work, They told me they used sspl 1.16 and then hardspl 1.22.

I always suggested to start all over and try it with 1.15 hardspl, and for ALL the people I suggest to do that, it worked.

Plse keep that in mind. ;)

Greetz,
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Maxxd01:
But if I already have harspsl 1.22 (or 1.15) should I do it again ? (after sspl 1.16 run)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
If it works for you it shouldn't be a problem, I myself did it also with 1.22 but for some people or phones the 1.15 work's better, still don't no why.

I just wanted to make a note in this thread for the people who don't succeed with 1.22

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] fastbus:
Hi.. I want to ask some..

If want to flash my nike (5500), from original WM 6.0 to 6.5, should I change my radio version? It's still confused me. I red in one thread that it need radio version 1.65 or higher. But in another thread, after hardSPL, I can go install ROM without change my radio. Which one to follow?

Thanks before for response..
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
Hi fastbus, it is better to change your radio version because you could lose some funtions such as camera and sound, there are two ways to flash a radio.

1. Flash an original rom, it comes with an radio, after that flash a cooked rom and you will keep the radio from the latest flashed original rom.

2. Just flash the radio after you flashed a cooked rom, flashing a radio is the same as flashing a rom, it is just a bit quicker then a rom because it is a lot smaller.

There is also a 1.71 radio, if you want to flash that one you must have a 1.58 radio, to upgrade the radio to 1.71, it just don't work with an 1.65 radio.

If you are still confused just send me an pm. :)

Greetz,
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] fastbus:
Thank you so much Rataplan.. I'll PM you soon, there is some Q again.
[Desire General] khyasad:
Hey folks, uncovered a missing piece of functionality ... being able to assign a custom ringtone using the 'People' appl suuplied on the HTC Desire.

Anyone else have this? I've gotten around it by using 'aContacts' downloaded by the market ...
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Err i selected my first contact and under info there is a ringtone option...

Of course if you mean an MP3 your files have to be in the correct folder on the SD.
[Desire General] khyasad:
Okay, let me re-phrase that ... Some of my contacts has the option to add a ringtone and some don't ?? What gives ... ? :(
[Desire General] khyasad:
It's okay ... figured out what the issue was ... had to scroll a lot further down ... then I found it ... user error ... :( :)
[Desire General] carrige:
Just a guess here (I never used an Android phone yet - still waiting for mine) but make sure all the contacts are saved to the phone memory. i.e. not on the SIM card... again this is from old Nokia experience. Dunno if this is relevant at all when it comes to Android.
[Nexus One Accessories] jcohenlv:
So here in Las Vegas there is a Zagg store. Based on everyone's recommendation I decided to get a Zagg InvisiShield for my phone. I picked up 2 or 3 of the demo phones and was like hey this doesn't feel stick or tacky like everyone said it would!

So i look at the prices:

Zagg Full Body Skin $21

Installation $12 includes free Zagg microfiber bag.

So I decided to say OK, Ill let them install it so if they screw something up they can fix it on the spot. The fate of my phone is in their hands. I go to the counter and they tell me come back in 30 minutes.

So i am roaming around the mall, spending money on other crap I don't need. 30 minutes later I go back and pick up my phone. The moment I pick it up i am like WTF! Phone feels like its wrapped in a used condom!

I ask the sales associate why it doesn't feel like the "demo" phone and he goes ohhh that's the wrong one out there. :mad::mad::mad: That phone was put out there to show all the scratches on it. I go grab the demo phone and go dude where are the scratches on this thing!! There were none I was FURIOUS!!!!!!!!!!

So needless to say I have this $40+ dollar Zagg POS on my phone and I am really hating it, but I cant bring myself to tear it off and lose my $40. I don't know what to do.

Things I immediately noticed for those of you who want to know what to expect from a Zagg InvisiShield.

1. Tacky Tacky Tacky - Phone feels like it wrapped in a used condom

2. Screen Resolution - This thing KILLS the look of the screen. Looks like a TV wrapped in Saran Wrap

3. Exposed corners - the skin doesn't even cover the corners of the phone. If on an you drop it on a corner edge you will dent the case easily

4. Feel - The edges of each individual piece don't line up properly on the phone, the screen protector is off to one side a little and the other pieces on the skin don't line up. This makes it so the edges of each piece you can really FEEL. It really ruins it.

5. The edges also give the edges of the touch screen a rough edge that you can easily see over the black sections of the digitizer.

I will try and get some photos tonight of everything I am talking about. All in all i am VERY unhappy with the Zagg.

So the question is do I take it off and deal with no protection, or say screw it and leave it on?
[Nexus One Accessories] uansari1:
As for the way the screen looks and the tackiness, that will change over time. The screen should clear up in a couple days. The tackiness goes away the more you handle the phone... the oils from your hands will change the feel over time and make it very smooth in comparison to what it feels like right now. On my G1, I can honestly say it took a few weeks of normal use and the tackiness was gone... you just have to give this time.

As for the edges and corners... well that's why I would personally go for the BSE skin... they did a much better job of covering the corners properly. If the installation on some of the pieces is out of alignment, I'd take it back and tell them to redo it properly.
