I personally dont think it'd fit in the case with one of those one, they seem to add a bit of bulk too it. The phone is already quite snug without putting one of those on. I dont have a camera but still have my old X1, will see if I can get some pics up.
[Desire Accessories] Matt2887:
I took some pictures of the phone in/with the case to get an idea of what its like. The phone is in alot tighter than the pictures show as you cant even wiggle the phone whilst its in the case.

Hope these help

Does the job nicely but don't expect high quality. Superb however for £2.90 and only took 2 days for delivery.
[Desire Accessories] youandwhosearmy:
Just an update a couple of weeks on. I have noticed that the pull that lifts the phone from out if the case is beginning to mark the battery cover as it sits inside the tight fitting case. Might not be worth it after all.
[Desire Accessories] Loccy:
Have had the same thing on mine after only a few days, but as the mark seems seems pretty irrevocable I'm going to stick with it. Can always buy a new battery cover if it bugs me too much.

Hey guys i am trying to find the best solution converting my movies and watching them on htc desire. i have the subtitles into srt files (greek language) but i can't convert a movie into mp4 with subtitles playable. i tried the touch hd encoder but they appear with strange letters. with xilisoft there is no good quality.

if there is anyone that can help me with settings on one of the following programs and how to attach subtitles to desire please help me. i have:

xilisoft video converter ultimate

videora for android

total video converter

Handbrake should do the job. http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
Is it possible to 'hard burn' the srt subtitles in a movie in handbrake? Always thought this is not possible with handbrake..

edit: Check this: http://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/Subtitles

So what you could do is to find a converter from srt to Bitmap (VOBSUB), and then use that instead. Because handbrake is able to 'burn' those into the video.

OR! Use a player that supports subtitles... Is there one for Android that works properly?
[Desire General] lambrospower:
total converter can add subtitles but i can't find a good setting for size and quality. i think the resolution being 800x480 but with low bitrate gives bad result. anyone with good settings ?
[Desire General] JaykaySLO:
some just cant read properly

HandBrake has two methods of subtitle OUTPUT:

• Hard Burn: This means the subtitles are written on top of the image permanently. They cannot be turned on or off like on the DVD.

• Soft Subtitles: This means the subtitles will appear as separate selectable tracks in your output file. With the correct playback software, you’ll be able to enable / disable these subtitles as required.
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
Please read my quote from the handbrake wiki and stand corrected. The OP wants .srt subtitles in this movie.

So instead of telling people they cannot read please tell us which app can play soft subtitles.

I already thought of the other solution for handbrake, convert the srt's to bitmaps and then hard burn them.

edit: fast google showed you can convert srt to vobsub using SubtitleCreator. Open srt and then save as vobsub. Then use handbrake to convert and add the subtitles to your movie.

As for total converter, I have no idea. Cranking up the bitrate doesn't work? If space is not an issue that is usually the easiest way of getting better image quality.
[Desire General] JaykaySLO:
I have qouted from the link you provided.
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
Yes, and that continues stating that you cannot hard burn srt files. I have tried and it's indeed not possible. When you import a .srt file the 'burned in' option is greyed out.

Come on man, telling others to read while not doing that yourself is kinda awkward :)

My 'solution' doesn't work either. Guess handbrake cannot load external subtitles perhaps? I'm sure it works from a dvd, but so far external subs have not been burned into my movies.
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
Something else you might try is to download 'mVideoPlayer' from the market. Apparantly that one should be able to use .srt files.

Gave it a quick test and it seems to be working! So perhaps this is a better option than to hard burn those subs into your movies.
[Desire General] ssarl:
Use Mp4ForHD.
[Desire General] pascanu:
I use FormatFactory http://www.formatoz.com/

It can embed subtitles, has presets for most devices, unfortunately it doesn't support the native (800*480) resolution of the Desire but being an actively developed (and frequently updated) software I expect it to do so soon.
[Desire General] turtlerck:
Most opensource softare is just benefit from free like handbrake. On the other hand, it is difficult to use for beginner, lack support and weak stability. handbrake attend technology and ignore user experience. I consider many other charge program are better than it.
[Desire General] goran60:
so far the most effective combination that has proved in practice: Rock Player + Video Converter. Unfortunately, both programs must be purchased but the fact that real intelligence work perfectly on dezire HD. I recommend everyone to at least try, as both trials.

Total video converter. this program rock's everithing you can do everithing subs, any format, any res. audio, video, customize video , customize subs just everithing
[Desire General] ArtieQ:
RockPlayer does support subtitles (.srt, don't know about .sub) and it works flawlessly. You can choose color and size of the subtitle in the settings.
[Desire General] Yogimax:
Try mVideoPlayer from the market which is currently free...

Convert your video using whichever method you prefer to MP4 / M4V and copy it to your device (I prefer Handbrake).

Either copy your .srt subtitles to the same folder or else mVideoPlayer can search for subtitles for the video and download them - you just choose whether or not to display them.

It works well on my Advent Vega tablet, but I haven't tried the app on my Desire yet as I am waiting for it to come back from repair after a "bouncing down a flight of stairs" incident!
[Desire General] j5m:
What are good picture settings and average bitrates for movies in handbrake?

320X240? but what about the average bitrate?

Should i use the hardware or software decoding on rockplayer?
[Desire General] senseii:
I find MX Player Pro is the best option when I dont have time to convert movies with .srt files. It plays all formats and support subtitle files!

Video converter by koyote soft is really good too and easy to use. No watermarks.
[Desire General] Yogurtar:
Tune4mac iTunes Video Converter Platinum can help you. It keeps AC3 Dolby 5.1 audio and multi-language subtitles. The great feature enables you to choose a subtitle in certain language to be displayed on screen and the correspondent audio track to be played. Besides, CC (Closed Captions) can be also preserved perfectly.

hi,

I recently encountered a problem with receiving text messages on my HTC Magic (32A)...

I am able to receive calls, send messages, but I don't receive any.

My mobile operator works fine, there are no delays...

Any possible solution?

thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] digitaljeff:
ive read that some people have had luck fixing this problem by deleting all sms threads out of your messaging program.. apparently if you have heaps of sms (1000+) you can run out of room to store new sms...

also you can try installing a 3rd party app like handcent and see if that helps..

also a factory reset couldnt hurt as well if the problem persists (im assuming your running stock rom)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] harpreet1988:

known problem for all people on mytouch 1.2's .. here is a workaround i found for you

you dont really need to install app installer if you have something like Astro installed.. just browse to your sd card and run the .apk .. also make sure you have "allow unknow sources" checked under settings-->applications or the apk will fail to install

Hi everybody;

I have e Voyager 9535 bluetooth barcode scanner. i added this on my phone but i dont know how can i get data from it.

Thans
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Phenomenon:
Couple things would be to 1st call the company or visit their website and see if the device is compatible with your BC Scanner. 2nd was there a program that came with the device? Did you install it and you don't receive the data you scanned? Bond the devices so that it doesn't require permission for your scanner to send data to it. 1st make sure the HD2 is compatible with your device though.

[HD2 General] mcdonnr:
Hey, all. Long-time flasher, first(ish)-time poster. I think HTC Sense does a great deal of covering up for Windows Mobile, which is great... if you hate Windows Mobile. I don't. I love it. And that's all I want.

Right now I'm using Kumar's ROM on my HD2... hats off to all involved, by the way... but it's still not exactly what I'm looking for. Maybe what I'm looking for doesn't exist. I don't know. I'll get to the point.

Here's what I'm after: a stock Windows Mobile 6.5.3 ROM. I don't want any of the HTC Sense bull**** on there. Not Sense, not HTC's SMS/MMS app, none of it. I want strictly Windows Mobile. Does something like this exist already, and I'm just retarded/overlooking it?

Thanks in advance for any help here, all.

--Rob
[HD2 General] DeekoVB5:
I was working on a ROM like that, but in the end decided it was easier to just take Kumar's ROM, and turn off Sense/HTC Messaging.

start->settings->home->Items, disable Sense, enable Windows Default
[HD2 General] mcdonnr:
Ok... disabling Sense on the home screen is easy enough, that I've already done. The real thing I'm after is disabling their messaging client. It hurts to use, I die a little inside every time I'm forced to interact with it. How do you disable that?
[HD2 General] vplaza96:
Try this....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=556614

Also, Kumar is working on a Titanium ROM without the HTC Sense apps (especially messaging). Or, you can try SPB Mobile Shell to see if that suits you, though it is a commercial product.
[HD2 General] mcdonnr:
THANK YOU!

Holy Hell... you have no idea how good it feels to use the stock WinMo SMS/MMS app. Well, maybe you do. Either way, that's exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks again, man... and I will definitely keep an eye out for Kumar's Titanium ROM.

EnergyRom

NRGZ28 has a Titanium only rom with the HTC messaging already disabled by default. I would give that a look too
[HD2 General] onslaught86:
Oh brilliant, was hoping there'd be Titanium-only HD2 ROMs - I've got a TMoUS HD2 en-route at the moment, and although I've only played with M2D, I've never understood the fascination with TouchFlo. It's pretty, to be sure, but so memory-hungry and annoying to use. Although I suppose RAM-hogging won't be a factor when the HD2 has so much to spare, heh.

Link to HD2 EnergyROM w/Titanium-only version for anyone still looking.

Say, can anyone who loves Sense UI explain why? I'm just curious, having had bad experiences myself. :)
[HD2 General] DaveShaw:
I love and hate sense.

As you can see from my signature, I use NRG's titanium ROMs on my TP2, because I get fed up of it, and it always feels slow.

The reason I loved it was the integration of everything in a today screen, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, all in one, along with weather, stocks and everything else I do daily :).

you might be the only person ALIVE that prefers default winmo to htc's sense version. its the only reason WHY im getting this phone.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
Not true at all. I'm not a big fan of sense. It's way more buggy than a lot of other great shells or ui's. I'm gonna start using SPB Mobile shell now that I've used sense for a few weeks to see if I grew to like it. I didn't.

Can't wait for schaps to release TouchXperience. That looks great.
[HD2 General] JonFolse:
U r so RIGHT ABOUT THAT!! That looks revolutionary
[HD2 General] DeekoVB5:
Quite a few people have posted requesting Titanium-only ROMs, thats why several ROM chefs have started making them.

More people still prefer Sense, but there are plenty that do not.
[HD2 General] onslaught86:
Having actually gotten hold of said HD2 now, I'm really beginning to dig the Sense UI. It takes a bit of getting used to, and I think I'll be hunting for a ROM that has Titanium as well, in case I feel like switching between the two. The major advantages of Titanium are its low memory footprint, nifty clean look (Sense is not so clean, but it looks boring when it is) and having everything on a single screen, while having all the key information visible at a glance - the comm manager panel was the single most important app I had installed. But Sense does all of this too, with a few tweaks and some specific quick links. Although I'd really prefer to have comm manager status/links to favourite people/currently-playing music/new texts/new email/home tab visible all at the same time, I'm pretty sure I can deal with swiping to the left to get to Twitter, heh.

Funnily enough, my friends' reaction upon seeing Sense UI is "WOW, is that Android?"

i forgot to take out the htc dialler and that interferes with the reminder notification snoozing(gives you a choice of 5/10/15mins etc) so you might wanna google htc dialler disabler aswell.

Be aware i stripped out a lot of stuff with this so no opera or anything, i found it easier to try newer versions etc that way....
[HD2 General] ifiweresolucky:
I feel you

Your post pushed me to find a way to do exactly what you're talking about. I love Titanium, and despise HTC Messaging.

I installed the Energy ROM ("standard" Sense build 23566) and it's perfect. Once you disable Sense you're good to go. HTC Messaging is not included! Fast, stable, and includes only minimal extra software. The default Start menu arrangement is excellent.

Cheers,

Rob

I'm hoping you are saying he is going to release his 'latest' version....because if he still hasn't released his first version...yet...you may want to keep looking. I've always found his work very good....but the drama very high.

go into the Marketplace on your phone, and just search "home screen customizer".

it's amazing, hardly anyone finds it. :D
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
Nope, the first version hasn't been released yet. He has some betas out. I hear he had a lot of medical issues, so that has slowed things, but it looks as though he is very close to finishing it. In the last few months there have been beta releases and much more activity and updates. From the way it looks, it will be well worth the wait.

I purchased a copilot license for my HTC HD2 (windows mobile). However, a few months later I purchased a HTC Desire (android) and deactivated the license on my HD2. I've now got Copilot installed and activated (using my windows mobile product key) on the Desire but the only problem is I cant get the maps installed. It wont allow me to install it via wifi or 3g, so I'm trying to copy the maps directly to the memory card instead.

When I contacted ALK technologies for help this was their reply:

"Dear shaliru,

Thank you for contacting CoPilot Technical Support.

In first place, Copilot has been designed to work and be transferred only in between same platform, it van only be transferred from WinMobile to WinMobile or Android to Android.

With regards to your query we inform you that the HTC Desire has all the required specification to work with CoPilot 8 but it hasn't been tested by our technical engineer and therefore we cannot guaranteed the full compatibility. Once we can guarantee its full compatibility we will update our compatibility list at http://www.alk.eu.com/copilot/compatibility.asp

If you have any further questions, or feel that this incident has not been resolved to your satisfaction, please do not hesitate to bring this to our attention.

Regards,

CoPilot Technical Support

http://support.alk.com"

I think this is bullsh*t because I paid for the product and its not like I'm selling on the subscription with my HD2. I simply want to move it over to another device which I know they support.

Like I mentioned above the application is installed and activated on my Desire, but i just need a way to get the maps on there. I.e, the correct directory to copy them to on my memory card

Thanks in advance
[Desire Themes and Apps] payneardo:
install maps

on your SD card create a folder called copilot and then another called save within there, copy the maps into this folder and when you run copilot it should extract the maps and install them :)

I had a problem installing the maps and this fixed it, hope it helps too :)

I now have bought copilot for iphone, Win Mobile & android !!!!!
[Desire Themes and Apps] boge:
Skip the UK Ireland folder. Put those 5 subdirectories at EU directory.
[Desire Themes and Apps] SammyBoyWonder:
Thanks so much. It worked.
[Desire Themes and Apps] FloatingFatMan:
Why? It's essentially a different product as its on a different platform.

When you buy a game for your PC, do you expect to get a free copy of the XBOX 360 or PS3 version as well?
[Desire Themes and Apps] SammyBoyWonder:
No. But...

if I buy an xbox 360 game and later decide I want the PS3 version, I'll sell the xbox version and use the money to get the PS3 version - unless I specifically want both versions. In my case I have no need for both versions because I no longer use the device. Unfortunately there is no way for me to sell on my license (which I only had for 2 months anyway) and buy a new one.

The copilot software is freely available on their website, however without a valid license the product is pretty much useless. It was the license I paid for so I don't see anything wrong with me transferring that license to a new device (as long as I'm not using both). If I was that desperate to cheat ALK out of their license fee I would have obtained the product in one of many other alternative not-so-legit ways.

Anyway, what's done is done. Its all sorted now and I'm a happy customer, thanks to the many helpful contributors on this forum.
[Desire Themes and Apps] FloatingFatMan:
I'm glad it's working for you, but your license IS transferrable, to another Windows Mobile device. Android is a completely different platform, and has a different license. It may not SOUND fair, but really... How would they make money if they let people transfer across platforms? Creating a version for Android involves a lot of extra costs, you know; those costs have to be paid for.

At least CoPilot is cheap... Unlike those crooks at TomTom. :p
[Desire Themes and Apps] nubbin:
There is no NEW development to be paid for, no new platform has to be produced after initial coding for all the various operating systems, so it isn't quite like a comparison between PC and XBox, where there are considerations such as hardware variables etc. to be coded for. The guy has already paid for the latest version, CoPilot 8, and it isn't unreasonable that he gets the Android operating system either free or subsidised. At least he paid for it rather than using a pirate copy, and his action in buying it in the first place shows he was intending to invest in the system.

CoPilot agree with me as well - I had exactly the same issue, and I emailed support, who very kindly directed me to a download area for map and OS for Android. That was when only the map of Europe was available on Android, and I had purchased only UK+Ireland map, so there was a £40 difference in price to me.
