[Desire General] setspeed:
I just rang again, took me 3 attempts to get through. Chose option 2 (new customer) then option 1 (want to buy a new phone).

The woman told me my new phone had already been ordered and would be delivered before 1pm tomorrow. She said someone had been monitoring my account and had already done it, as promised yesterday. I have been waiting since Friday and let down once already.

I think the demand for the Desire is far outstripping their ability to get the damn things, and the more noise you make about it the more likely you are to get one.

Ring them twice a day, every day. At least they will get the message that ****-ups like this will cost them time & money answering calls.

The fact that it took me 3 attempts to get through to the "new customer" line clearly shows that other (non-Desire) new customers are being affected too, by TMobiles inability to answer the phone to them. If I was a new customer wanting a different phone and I couldn't get through to give them my business then I might go elsewhere.

In fact I am only staying with them because of the decent price-plans, definitely not impressed with the sh*te customer service!
[Desire General] profet:
Prioritising new customers is pretty poor practice if you ask me.

Still, I've found the customer service so far to be amazing - they phoned me back today as soon as it came in stock to tell me they'd ordered it and that I'd be getting it tomorrow. Everything they had told me previously about timescales for stock to arrive was fairly acurate.

The lady on the phone said that every call she had had so far today had been about the Desire - she was asking me what was so good about it, which was kinda funny.
[Desire General] eLv./.G1:
looks like a few ppl will be lucky and get one tomorrow. I ordered mine on 29thth and I have just got the email that it winging its way to me!
[Desire General] Arthur Hucksake:
Let me guess, she has a Blackberry. lol
[Desire General] amarko5:
just had a giggle

rang again at 4pm, asked them to check if my phone is dispatched (as i had no winging email)

the rep said "why do you keep ringing ? we have told you twice its been dispatched , do you really still want an email ?

well it made me giggle , they must be getting some colosal number of calls off us impatient tw@ts.

Explained i was a phone geek and got an "ohh okay !" :D
[Desire General] grainysand:
N1 user here, but running Desire ROM. I've noticed that ever since Paul's released alpha17--which unlike his earlier builds is based on the Desire's release candidate--there's no longer Launcher2.apk. I can clear HTC Sense's defaults and press home, but... no option to pick Launcher2. Launcher2.apk doesn't exist in the ROM. Gone. Nada. Killed in action.

Obviously, as someone who's got root and can adb push Launcher2.apk from elsewhere, this isn't an issue for me. But if the Desire also lacks Launcher2, it means you guys (until it's rooted) can't switch to vanilla Android if the fancy takes you, which is weird. So, can any of you please check if you have got Launcher2 or not?
[Desire General] nintendolinky:
I want to root lol.
[Desire General] The-Nazgul:
Have you tried http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=645550?

Download the zip file. Extract the launcher.apk to your sd card. Browse to the file (for example use astro) and install it. Be sure to have checked the box "Allowing unkown software installation" (or something like that).

Does this work? Shouldnt need root access.
[Desire General] grainysand:
No, no. See, I don't need Launcher2 myself and even if I did, I can manually install it. It's just that I was led to believe that the Desire itself will retain Launcher2 and switching from vanilla Android to Sense would be no different from switching between home replacements (which was the case in earlier Desire alphas).
[Desire General] The-Nazgul:
Ah ok, I see. Misunderstood your problem. I believe that we need definitely root for the Desire, this would fix many problems...
[Desire General] Zappza:
Launcher2 can be installed without root-access, so this is no problem. You just can't push it to the /system/app folder. You can still install it, and thereby placing it in /data/app.

It makes perfectly sense that HTC removed the Launcher2.apk from the release ROM, as this is a phone with HTCs own Sense UI.

I do agree that root-access is needed, but not for this incident.
[Desire General] irkan:
using the desire there is an option to disable Sense UI, and you will end-up with a N1 experience.

Programs > Unknown Sources > HTC Sense > Controls > choose stop and select "launcher" .... and thats it
[Desire General] C:Sharp!:
A quick question: When you use Launcher2 instead of Sense, can you still pinch to see all the pages?
[Desire General] grainysand:
Nope. You lose the ability to pinch and all HTC widgets.
[Desire General] C:Sharp!:
Thanks.

And Sense can't work in landscape mode, right?

(and the HTC music player also?)
[Desire General] kasonne:
Wrong! there is no Launcher app to replace Sense, so it just automatically jumps back to default.
[Desire General] irkan:
No, you're wrong!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2Amcaot1Us

if your device is crippled than thats another story all together :rolleyes:
[Desire General] Jabbypants:
That doesn't work now when i try it on mine it just kicks back in using htc sense.
[Desire General] grainysand:
Guess Paul didn't take out Launcher2 from his ROM for giggles, then. :p I wonder if you could just install Launcher2.apk extracted from an N1 ROM normally. Probably you could.

Correct; neither supports landscape mode.
[Desire General] kasonne:
Me and everyone else with a released desire in that case, as also mentioned it was removed in some of the leaked ROM's previous too.
[Desire General] irkan:
No, i think this is the case only wit the T-Mobile versions (and the fake unlocked versions that also came from T-Mobile)
[Desire General] NCFreezz:
Sorry to dissapoint you, but launcher2 is not in the official latest desire rom.

This does not have anything to do with T-mobile.

I have seen a lot of desire phone's and none of them have the launcher2.apk.

(at least on the dutch market that is )
[Desire General] farnsbarns:
why don't you just install it like I did. better still install helix launcher from the market. same as launcher2 but allows placement of 4 icons level with the draw which will appear on every page

I've tried launcher apk but it doesn't add the zooming animation that you get when you open an animation like on the nexus one. I really want that animation!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jimmy_tag:
HTC CEO Peter Chou confirmed that HTC intend to release a Windows Phone 7 series device by the end of this year. This statement ends the speculations that HTC may drop the new OS until Microsoft permit custom UIs.

As you already know, Microsoft have very strict rules for what goes and what doesn't on their new Windows Phone 7 OS and for one, home-brewed user interfaces are forbidden. No manufacturer will have the right to customize the Windows Phone 7 in any way so Microsoft can deliver uniform user experience throughout various devices...........:eek:......:confused:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] billy_overheat:
winmo7 had lost the meaning of the WinMo.

maybe HTC will focus on Adnroid instead? XD
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ciuchino2:
I think so. :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] openwicked:
*UI* part of Win7 is very customizable through XNA (just like any other app). The 'shell' and other device-specific development will be a blessing for application/driver architects just for the consistency of the underlying APIs.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] darkic:
I just bought Rhodium after my Kaiser, upgrade to 6.5 and find bluetooth sending file issue (It couldn`t send files via BT on wm 6.1, either). I was searching through a forum a couple hours and didn`t find a answer. First of all, everything on my Kaiser worked perfect, including bluetooth, so I expect a same with TP2. In the meanwhile, my wife bought Diamond2 and she also had a bluetooth sending files issue just like me today with my TPro2. Devices get paired, and when I send file, connection broke and failed. Any idea, I want my device to do everything what it made for. And yeah, i turn on the BT, make visible to other devices, etc...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] darkic:
I forgot to mention, when sending file failed, mesagge says: "File xxxx not sent - invalid request". WTF!?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] darkic:

Hard reset, as allways. I backup everything except system data settings, did hard reset, restore backup, thats it - cach was that com ports and file transer checking fields were lost and you got to check them all to proper work of BT.

[Desire General] O and O:
Hey guys,

Justa few quick questions ...

Is there an application or something that will log all the apps I have downloaded via my account and list them for me, so when I do a backup I knwo what I had before?

Is there an app to list the above AND download the latest versions without me having to manually do anything (Shashimi for Android).

I have loads of text on my Tytn is there an easy way to back these up in a rar file or something. I don't want to import them to the desire just store them.

I sue S2U2, I like the Android lock screen BUT I like being able to view my texts/emails without unlocking the device, what options do I have?

Lastly, is there an app to automatically backup your text on a weekly basis and email it to your gmail as an archive? I want it to also ignore the previous week's text.

Am I asking too much L.o.L.?
[Desire General] JTHM:
I don't have an Android phone yet ...and won't do until 7/8/9-April... but playing with my wife's Hero this is what I know...

You seem to have to create a level of Google account in orpder to purchase from Android Market and logging into your Google Account and going to Android Market will bring up a list of your previously downloaded apps.

I haven't found a stand alone app for this but purchasing your apps through AppBrain.com and using their AppBrain app seems to do what your asking. AppBrain doesn't seem to list all apps though - definitely missing UK specific apps such as Beebplayer.

I've had WinMo phones for the past 8 years and never heard of a facility to do this - if there is one I'd be chuffed to hear about it myself.

Dunno - someone else will have to answer this one I'm afraid

I believe that most backup apps will do a scheduled backup - Sprite Backup definitely does but to the SD Card only (no automailer), but WRT ignoring previously backed up messages I've not heard of this feature in any backup app.

I hope this helps to some extent.
[Desire General] Karolis:

aTrackDog / AppBrain

Is there an app to list the above AND download the latest versions without me having to manually do anything (Shashimi for Android).

AppBrain allows you to create lists on their site, so when you change phones or wipe it, you can tell it to reinstall the whole list. I did that when I moved from G1 to Desire -- worked like a charm.

I have loads of text on my Tytn is there an easy way to back these up in a rar file or something. I don't want to import them to the desire just store them.

You should ask that in TyTN forum ;)

[Desire General] O and O:
Been playing with my Desire for a while, I can see the appeal of Android it's quick, big buttons, keyboard isn't back considering I'm coming from Tytn (as well as a Touch HD but that was BAD).

My next step is ... what programs should I "replace"? I'm refering to applications like mail, text/messages, etc the build in ones.
[Desire General] O and O:
I am though over the moon with the device the text input ROCKS! I do have a list of applications I need suggestions on though ... I'm used to the following on Windows Phone so I need an Android variation ...

G-Alarm - A Comprehensive alarm application

G-Profile - easily change my profiles from night, work, home, etc, this would be great as a widget

Task Facade - A general task manager that will show all my running applications and let me close/switch

Wake On Text/Email/etc - As it says ... and stay awake until message has been read!

Lock Without using Power button - easy ...

That's about it for now :)
[Desire General] mhewitson:
I use Klaxon for my alarms.

SMS Popup will turn on the screen when you get text messages (not sure if there is similar for emails) and can give reminders untill it's read.

As far as profiles, then would HTC's Scenes not do the trick? Failing this Locale can automagically turn on and off services and silent/loud the ringer based on various criteria like time and location.

You can easily switch to recent apps by pressing and holding the home key

And there are loads of Task Managers on the market for killing running apps

[Desire General] _Dejan_:
Hi,

I would like replace my TyTn II to HTC Desire but Im not shure if I will be happy with Desire(Android)...

Main things which wory me are:

1.)Synchronization with PC with USB cable. I DON'T want and will not sync with google account. All I need is same automatic sync line with activesync. I need sync Contacts, Calendar, Emails(Configure which folders), Task's, Notes. Sync will be done with MS Outlook 2007/2010.

2.)Is possible set more than one email account? I need 3x pop3/smtp email accounts.

3.)Is possible disable threaded SMS/MMS? I realy hate this function.

4.)Is there any app which allow connet to windows remote desktop(RDP and not any 3rd party VNC or other)?

5.)Is there some app/pack which can work with word, excel, power point files?

6.)Does included browser support certificates? I know that opera mobile on WinMo do not support it, so I can't manage cPanel server, make payments(bank)...

I think that this is enought for start :D

Thanks for any help and answers.

Best regards, _Dejan_

In the past, i've had the Touch Cruise, T-Diamond and the T-Diamond 2.

I've always hated Winmob since it always seemed that only amatures were making apps for it and it was full of bugs.

With the desire in the post I have questions for people that have it already.

Do we think that the Android OS is going to end up killing WinMob? Is it much better? There's lots of talk saying maybe iphone app creators, now they've made some money, are moving to the Android OS to get some of the market and that with the Nexus and Desire making noise, the app market will grow very quickly.

Also

I've never had an iphone/pod and refuse to get one, however their itunes app store seems like a good idea, does android have one? everyone's talking about the 'market place' thing or whatever, is that an app on the phone that you can shop for new ones on or something (i've never even touched on Android before and been in Afghan for the last 6 months so i've been a bit out of the loop.
[Desire General] LuftWalk:
Well I have been developing apps for Symbian and Windows Mobile, but I can tell you that Android is a lot more friendly to code in. So I expect that the amount of apps (quality ones ofc) in the market will just grow rapidly.
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Yes the "Market" is Androids version of the iPhone app store.
[Desire General] Barff1984:
yea..

Also

Is there any way of getting Windows live on it? I really liked having my mail and msn so easily accessed on my TD2.

Since i've got hotmail i've been told i can't get it so it's pushed to my mail right?
[Desire General] ephumuris:
You can link your hotmail to the phone so it automatically retrieves them and i'm not sure about Live Messenger but there are a few apps for it just not sure there is an official one.
[Desire General] cez10:
from what i've heard you can sync the desire with hotmail, but i dont think the official win live will work on it, however palringo substitues msn very well :)
[Desire General] AudunXetrov:
You can use Windows Live Messenger through apps like Meebo, eBuddy and Fring.
[Desire General] farnsbarns:
you can simply set it up as a pop3 mail account
[Desire General] Barff1984:
I thought, if you use the free hotmail service, then you can't use pop3?

hense why Microsoft inbox doesn't work with hotmail right?
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
I think it works, I've read other people saying it worked even though they're on a free account.

I would recommend though you switch to googlemail, it's 10x better than hotmail.

Also congrats on coming back from Afghan.
[Desire General] chris.semple:
I dont personally sync my hotmail (I use it as my junkmail account when I have to sign up to things) but my girlfriend syncs with it on her android based htc magic

why is googlemail so much better ?

at the end of the day, everyone uses msn messenger and windows live mail works great on PC.

You just get less spam, everything is managed better, you get more space get to send larger attachments etc.
