[G1 General] Burko:
Probably because you've just got it, its the "new rom quickness" effect. i.e. you havent hacked it apart or filled the cache with pron etc.

I personally think that HTC needs to make a successor to the Universal, that had a great form factor with the best keyboard on a mobile device EVER in my opinion.

I'm very disappointed in the lack of physical keyboard devices from HTC this first half year.

Especially as my contract ran out yesterday and i have nothing worth upgrading to......
[G1 General] sgb101:
i also loved my G1, the keyboard was perfect for me. at the time soft keyboards where poor so i didnt really want to change to one.

hovever ive just got a desire and the soft keyboard is exellent, had it a week and i can type almose as quick as the G1, it wont be long till im just as quick:( the phone is exactly the right size for my hands also, very comfy to type, my thums just meet nice.

for the americans who havent got it yet but have the nexus, the stock android keypad is not ment to be as good as the sence ui one, but its been hacked and the sence ui rom can be added.

however that may sound sacrelidge to the hard core vanillas out their.

to answer the original poster question, go and try the latest handsets you may be suprised how far they have come. i was.:)
[G1 General] t1n0m3n:
I think context is worth noting here. I put "FAIL" because it is a 4 row keyboard instead of a 5 row. (Like the G1) In my experience, overlaying the number row on top of the qwerty row is stupid and annoying.

The point is that they "could" come out with a "high end" slider/tilter/whatever... But they are not... WHY?

I am sure the keyboard feels great... But, again, having the numbers on qwerty is retarded.

For stock ROM, yeah, but my phone won't be stock for more than necessary than the time it takes me to root it.

We know what the specs should be. We know what high end is supposed to be. They are currently making high end phones... But only in the iClone flavor. The manufacturers have decreed: "No qwerty for you!!"
[G1 General] SiXiam:
I find when playing Doom on my G1, that the W of the WASD keys is too far to the left. I personally would prefer it directly above the S, however what it is works great for email and texting. My fingers are just too big for the touchscreen keyboard on the dream and other comparable sized screens. Maybe another inch or two of screen real estate would help in that case.
[G1 General] JAguirre1231:
Inch or two won't.... that would be one large phone. I think you mean .1 or .2 of an inch ;)
[G1 General] Royalknight6190:
I agree the G1 is the best phone out now with an onboard Keyboard. Even the droid's keyboard sucks it might be a good phone but I have talked to multiple people who have it and they all say they never use it because it sucks.

HTC needs to come out with a G2 that is on par with the Nexus 1 or the new HTC Incredible. Now that would be nice.
[G1 General] Blackman778g:
I wonder what would happen if we protested! :D

Let's draw the perfect HTC DREAM V2 (maybe like the original photoshop of the G1 released before the MyTouch ever came out)

Write up the correct high end specs.

Force them to do it ;)

Oh, I also included a WinMo comparison chart... I think the stone is winning :p
[G1 General] androidlicious:
I am also waiting for a newer version of the G1... I own a Nexus One but I seem to be prone to making errors on the virtual keyboard. I've recently switched to a BlackBerry and typing emails on the keyboard is a pleasant feeling.
[G1 General] SiXiam:
I was thinking of like a 4 inch or 4.5 inch screen instead of the 3.2 inch one on the G1. Your probably right though, I never played with an iPhone, maybe the 3.5 display is easier to type on with my big fingers.

People always said that the original Xbox controller was too big, but I found it was perfect for me.. :p

I love the G2 pics!

That would be so awesome! :)
[Desire General] stonedraider:
I got a question to someone who already got the desire: Does it have the same pink camera issue like the Nexus One or HD2?
[Desire General] cez10:
i dont have one, but so far havent seen anybody here that would have this issue, so pretty sure its not there, as htc already made a fix for it so they must have included it into desires soft :)
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
No issue here.
[Desire General] EroThraX:
I've taken a few photos, I haven't noticed anything like the issue the N1 and HD2 have.
[Desire General] InspectorFrost:
not for me
[Desire General] stonedraider:
Thanks for the replies! :)

Glad to hear that the camera works as it should.
[Desire General] shure2:
ok, I have a touch pro2 (winmo) and have a desire coming soon.

I backup my contacts, texts, calendar etc via myphone, but wondered if its possible to transfer all this data over to android when I get the desire?
[Desire General] Rusty!:
Use ActiveSync to sync contacts and calendar with Google, then Android will pick them up. Think you're stuck with the messages though.
[Desire General] Bimbilator:
I found a thing called Sprite Migrate, pretty sure its free, but havent fully tried it yet!

3 step convoluted process, Winmo to PC to Android, with 3 separate programs.

I have done the first 2 steps and it seemed to work OK, backs up contact and texts and even call logs.

Will post again if step 3 works once T mobile send me my Desire tomorrow.

Cheers BimB
[Desire General] mdfine:
Seems to be working, its a beta valid thru 7/2010. Cannot check step three though cause i do not have my "desired" phone yet ...
[Desire General] Dogmann:
@shure2

If you have Outlook on your computer the HTC Sync will sync all your Calender and Contact details from there and Sync it to your Desire. If not then you will need to follow the other options and sync it back and forth with Google Calender.

[Desire General] pitsyapa:
Hi Can someone help me. I have an Htc desire from tmobile uk. Notes section of my contacts does not fully gets synced with outlook, only first 10 or 12 lines gets synced? Any solution. thanks.
[Nexus One General] Tanquen:
I'm looking to move sms text messages and contacts to the N1.

I've done the csv import for the contacts but then you lose pictures and such. :( I just wish it had a simple sync tool for Outlook like some of the HTC phones.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Use ActiveSync to sync your contacts and calendar with Google, the Nexus will then pick them up. This saves all the info the contacts have, including the pictures.

Think you're stuck for the messages though I'm afraid.
[Nexus One General] Tanquen:
Is there a setting for that in Sync Center?
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
http://www.google.com/mobile/sync/
[Nexus One General] Tanquen:
Was just readding that. :)
[Nexus One General] Tanquen:
That worked. Thanks. The pictures are a little stretched/tiny. :)

Any way to do that from the PC or can you only do it from a WM phone?
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
I did exactly this. Worked great!
[Nexus One General] nephroid:
With Subsonic you can stream or download music from your home computer to your Android device.

Subsonic + DynDNS = Never having to sync music on my Nexus again.

Now if it could only do video! ;)
[Nexus One General] britoso:
So does DynDNS work through the proxy IP here in the US now?
[Nexus One General] cartoonmonkey:
Works for me. Well worth donating $10 to the developer as well, for the android app. I hardly copy music to my phone any longer. Have a 24/7 music server with all my music hosted at home. Simply awesome..!
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
1) Orb has done this for many many years now (it does video too)

2) Bye bye battery
[Nexus One General] cartoonmonkey:
1) Orb is a third party.. watching everything on your machine.

2) Subsonic has no central server. Your machine controls everything.

3) Battery life really isn't impacted significantly.

4) Who cares about orb?

5) Do your research.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
I have done my research, I have used Orb for 4 or 5 years now with out incident and it always works perfectly.

If you're streaming music over a data connection instead of listening to music on your sdcard, your battery will be significantly impacted.
[Nexus One General] mrmarshall428:
Nephroid how did you get this working I have been trying too get this to work, but with no success? I am using a Mac computer. Any help would be appreciated on how to set this up, I seem to be stuck setting up the port forward part.
[Nexus One General] flarbear:
Except that Subsonic uses a local cache so it only accesses the network if you are listening to something you haven't listened to before/don't listen to all the time. The battery hit would depend on your usage patterns but would tend to be less than a pure streaming solution.
[Nexus One General] bpm2000:
I could never get the port forwarding and such to play nice with this- too bad! Looks like a great program.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FireSokar:
How do we change default system settings, such as Unknown Sources (have it allready allowed in a rom)

Also I am looking to where the default widgets are stored on Sense UI / Launcher what tells them to be on the desktop and in what position.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] SantiagoElf:
Wrong section. please, delete.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ur8up:
I upgraded from wm6.1 to wm6.5.

About once a week i have to pull the battery out and reset the phone.

The problem is the backlight shuts off and i can't get it to come back on.

It seems this happens about once a week.

Has anybody experience this issue.

Thanks
[HD2 General] mknewman:
Can anyone give me some info on the BN reader app?

In particular, will it open eReader .pdb files? BN owns eReader.com now so I've been expecting this, but there doesn't seem to be any overlap between their hardware readers capabilities (that I've seen stated).

Also, will eReader's app for WM work properly on the HD2? There is no scroll switch like on prior WM systems, so how is scrolling done?

Thanks,

Marc

hi,

i own an touchHD/blackstone with stock spanish rom. Comes with touchflo 3d 1.3. Can i update my touch flo 3d? wich version? any cab?

Searched a lot in the forum but mostly are themes for other versions of manila.

if someone can help will be amazing,

thanks in advance
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:
You would be best served flashing a new ROM in order to upgrade TF3....and also doing some reading about what versions are available.

There is Manila 2.1 w/sense and Manila 2.5...

Read more here and see all the custom ROMS:

i was searching a way to update tf3d. best without flashing.

Anyway, thanks a lot for the help!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
Yes there befor years i found a CAB to update only the old Touch FLO with newer version but i don`t remember where is that CAB

Also the best way to feel the diference is to flash new ROM with Latest 2.1 Sense manila
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] glikani:
TY tsalta

Then i must think in flash my device with a new ROM.

Any recomendation? I prefer a light and fast one, i will charge with the software i like later, but prefer one with the basic OS apps, office, and the latest manila. If its possible , in spanish.

thanks all again for your help!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
The Fastes ROM from my expirience are NRG ROMs they are not very clear i mean about the APPS but have some usefull apps cooked anyway the ROM is good and fast if you want bug free rom for everyday use and all to be smooth flash NRG 21898 with manila 2.1Sense 30March version and all wil be fine.

its WW rom not Spanish.

This is if you want to have a good ROM just to flash and to go ... if you want a super super faster rom without Manila and etc.. to use it for other i mean for some UI shell then you can flash some really CLEAR rom that is without Manila without Titanium and without APPS.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] acidbath5546:

The cab to update Touchlfo3d is huge if I rememeber and very very very slow and laggy once installed.

Flash to EnergyRom, very quick and stable and beautiful...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] glikani:

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] orkan95:
Guys, since several versions of (mainly Energy) Roms (with Manila 2.1 as well as with 2.5) I have this problem: When I press the left phone button the phone does nothing instead of jumping into the phone mode. I need to switch it of (display switch on top of the phone) and on again, then it mostly works. Also the home button and the back button often scroll through the tabs instead of jumping directly to the home screen or ... Anybody else with this issue or - even better - with a solution?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rlsmith999:
I have been having exactly the same problem for a few months. I was first thinking a hardware problem, perhaps the button contacts got munged (too much kevtris?). But it is very intermittent. Sometimes the problem lasts for a day, other times just a few minutes. Summary of intermittent problems:

Home button non-responsive. When running an app or in Sense/Manila/TouchFlo, pressing home does nothing.

Home button switches to the left Sense tab when in Sense. When viewing email, switches to a different email account. [Obviously being interpreted as a left-arrow.]

Back button non-responsive. When running an app, pressing back does nothing. Which makes it more difficult to navigate around.

Short-press send button non-responsive. Doesn't display dialer either when trying to start a new call, or returning to the dialer in a call.

Long-press send button non-responsive. Mapped to my task manager so should start that.

Possibly related - When reading emails zooming text size using the scroll wheel only works about half the time.

The PTT, volume, and power buttons always work fine.

I haven't noticed whether sleep/unsleep (short-press power button) helps.

Soft-reset sometimes helps, not always.

I don't hard-reset unless upgrading the ROM; this has survived across three different versions of EnergyROM.

I have had my phone since Nov 2008 and it was free, so I figure I got my money's worth.

EnergyROM 09.Mar.2010 WWE

Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional

CE OS 5.2.21895 (Build 21895.5.0.90)

Manila version: 2.1.19202517

Protocol version: 52.64c.25.35H
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] icebbq:
To orkan95: I have exact same problem as you: the "Answer", "Back", "Home" buttons sometimes scroll through different tabs, what's even worse for me is that when I open some item list (e.g. Emails, RSS ), it automatically scrolls up and down randomly (my finger wasn't even touch the phone) :(.

This has been a very annoying problem since Day 1 I had flashed my HTC Touch Pro with custom roms. I had been googling for a solution for this issue for several months now and no luck at all and would really appreciate if any experts in this forum could answer to this issue. Thanks!

FYI, I personally don't think it's the hardware's problem as it worked well with the original official Rom (6.1). The problem only emerged when I flashed with any Custom Roms.

[HD2 General] the_tominator_1982:
Hi all

I have 2 x HD2s configured for ActiveSync with our SBS2003 server. Everything works fine when connected to my laptop via USB or when connected to WiFi (whether at my office or at any remote site unrelated to my local LAN). However, once I am using my data connection I experience the following issue which I have narrowed down through lots of trail and error:

When an email of approx 4k and above arrives I can see ActiveSync trying to sync and it then fails with an error code of 0x80830002. ActiveSync will then never reestablish a connection unless I either remove the particular email from my Outlook inbox, or, I connect to any WiFi connection.

If I set the download limit to 1k, it never fails and I simply receive a trunkated version of the email. However, if I select to download the remained of the text it fails again.

The issue is related to the size of the text within the email as attachements can be downloaded fine.

I have been on to T-Mobile as this feels like a carrier problem as I only experience it when using mobile data connection but they haven't come up with anything.

I'd really appreciate any help you can offer as this is driving me mad!!!!!

Many thanks,

Tom.
[HD2 General] Spike15:
Is your Exchange ActiveSync running over SSL?
[HD2 General] the_tominator_1982:
Not at the moment. I'm just trying to get it going at the moment. I just don't understand how it can work in all situations appart from when on mobile data?
[HD2 General] Spike15:
If you're not using SSL then it's possible that it could have something to do with T-Mobile, but I don't know enough about them to say.

Does T-Mobile use a proxy for HTTP?

Do you know if they have a policy relating to syncing your phone(s) with Exchange?

[Networking] Niall M:
I seem to be having similar problems

Which all started in Mid April. I too am on T-Mobile.....

Though e-mails in excess of 4k have been syncing when OTA is actually working. I hope an expert out there has an idea of what may be wrong!

Niall
[Networking] the_tominator_1982:
Hi Niall

I should have posted my solution back here.

I thought (mistakenly) that my SBS2003 box was running service pack 2. It wasn't.

Went to the Microsoft updates website, allowed it to download and install and hey presto!!!

Also, I have noticed that on occasion, for example if the SBS loses its internet connection, that ActiveSync does not reestablish. Simply terminating it in WM task manager causes it to restart and then its fine.

Hope this helps.
[Networking] Niall M:
Thanks for the suggestions. We're on Exchange 2003 SP2 already.

Terminating Activesync in the Task Manager on the phone doesn't help either. The only way to "restart" OTA syncing is to do a USB laptop sync. With SSL it falls down eventually with "Waiting for Network". Without SSL it lasts longer before falling down with error 0x80830002.

I do still wonder if it's related to us changing ISP for head office, but then surely the iPhone or WM6.1 device would also fail?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] telegraph0000:
I was running Igo8, had a bit of an issue, and restarted the phone. Then, when I clicked on the File Explorer shortcut, system told me it could not be found. I looked under 'tools', and file explorer is missing. I deleted the shortcut and tried to add it again, and file explorer is nowhere to be found...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] telegraph0000:
uhh, yeah. Still looking for it...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Well the executable for the program is just fexplore.exe, is that competely gone from your phone now too?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] InRBigness:
Use total commander or similar to find Fexplore.exe. That is the file explorer file. I think you would then have to link the short cut to where that file is or move it where it should be. You can also restore a backup or hard reset and it will be back where it was.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] telegraph0000:
I actually used resco file explorer, and the fexplore.exe file was indeed missing! The phone started acting up yesterday with a soft reset required every time I exited out of igo8. It (igo) kept removing the top info of the phone (time, battery, signal strength) and replacing it with part of its loading screen, and at times even freezing the phone itself.

Of course a hard reset is the first thing that comes to mind when a phone is malfunctioning, and, unfortunately, that is the very thing I had to do in the end...why...oh....why......
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] InRBigness:
When you get it the way you want, then use Sprite or SPB backup and make a backup. That way if you have to hard reset you can just load your backup.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] telegraph0000:
I always keep telling myself that...now...doing it is a completely different thread....
