Looks like HTC is considering creating their own smartphone OS:

http://www.phonescoop.com/news/item.php?n=5814

Good idea or a bad one? I vote bad since it does nothing but dilute the market even further. And while their Sense UI on WinMo may be buggy because of the fact that it runs on top of WinMo, it's not encouraging to see that they haven't found a way to fix the problem with their text messaging app after all this time.

And who will write apps for that OS?
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
This thread needs a poll :D

Bad Idea.

Android is too new to just write it off at this point in the game. I know it has its issues, but I personally think it's the future.

Windows Phone 7 is brand-spankin' new. I don't like it, considering all that I've heard about it. Like how they plan to lock it down. But if they can get a decent app store up and running, they could be competing with Apple very quickly. Never count Microsoft out. Google made that mistake and now look at Bing.

iPhone OS 4.0: Apple pretty much just granted 90% of the wishes that people harbored. Sure, it's still locked down, but my friends swear by their iPhones. Personally, I can't stand 'em. I even gave my 2yo daughter my iPod Touch (2nd Gen), no joke.

Maemo and Nokia are now in bed together, which means that Android is in for a world of hurt, at least in Japan and Europe.

Too many cell phone manufacturers roll their own OS. This is always a problem with people like me, who want to be able to control their phones.

If HTC were to release the OS source code, I would be happy to give it a shot. Unfortunately that only happens when the OS is based on an already-open system, like Linux

HTC is currently believed to be the leader in the pack of companies that are expressing interest in buying Palm, now that it's officially accepting offers.

WebOS is a great operating system just looking for some proper hardware and market penetration...and we all know who has plenty of both!

WebOS, under proper management and direction, and coupled with HTC's literal hardware design genius could be something I'd consider serious potential competition for Android.

Hey guys. Sometimes, randomly, my syncing accounts disappear without warning. This is a REAL PITA because out of nowhere, all my contacts will be gone, my emails will stop, etc. Has anyone else had this happen to them? I'm running Damage Control v2.07, but this has happened to me on Fresh and DC 2.06.

Just curious, would pushing a new Rosie.apk to the phone affect anything? I did that last night, and my contacts were there, but today they disappeared.

Hi,

how do i make the picture i use in GMail for a contact take precedence over the facebook contact picture?

also I've noticed sometimes my friends on facebook will change their profile picture but it never changes on my phone. Any ideas here?

thanks!
[Nexus One General] cymru:
Make sure facebook sync is setup in the android settings for pictures to be updated
[Nexus One General] tgwaste:
yep, did that.
[Nexus One General] timothydonohue:
you may (probably) have to do it contact by contact, but if you go into contacts, pick the person who's photo you want to change (assuming you had a photo of them before, that was synced to gmail's contacts). go to their contact info, hit menu>edit contact. click on their photo, which should be the gmail photo. select "use this photo". it will override the facebook synced photo in your contact list.

Today I've done some searching on the best means of getting apps to close when you press the X button on them instead of minimising and have found loads of threads on the subject but I'm really plainly doing something badly wrong I think.

The most common answer seems to be to use Dutty's task manager and in the past that was fine, but running 6.5.3 roms I can't because of how it clashes with stuff on the task bar.

So, the other options include apps like:

Touch X Task Manager

X2 Taskmanager

Arkswitch

AE Button Plus

Schap's advanced task manager

etc

The first two on the list after installing (and rebooting) didn't appear to be anywhere as I could not find an icon/shortcut anywhere to run them once installed!

Arkswitch and AE button I can't suss out how to get the close button to be set up properly, and schaps I can't even see a setting for it etc.

General point I'm making here is that I can't find an easy way to make this work despite trying a bunch of task managers and so on.

I'm sure this is just a case of me being thick and not seeing a setting that's right in front of me but I'd be grateful if someone could clarify for instance how I can do this. Apologies that this is a question already asked a lot on here but I'm embarrassed to admit that without using Dutty's, this is getting the better of me! :confused:

Cheers!:o
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jamiemcd:
You could use TaskFacade and LMT to launch it. It does work quite well and looks pretty good, but as I'm using a stock ROM Dutty's is just faster and easier.

edit: I know this isn't exactly what you were looking for (with the 'X' and all that), but it's a quick way to access a task manager to close the apps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
Ignore me - I didn't read the question properly and answered something else :rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Cret:
Thanks for the reply Jamie (and sort of John :D).

Not quite what I'm after sorry.

An example is QuickMenu - a great app and it has a setting to choose the long/short press of the X button on screen in terms of closing/minimising apps that are running but it just doesn't seem to work, and whatever variation I try is the same.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rumz82:
You can try showacase task manager....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Cret:
Cheers mate. I have actually tried 3 versions of that (the latest 3) and none of them will install. Must be something to do with the rom I'm using I guess.

So I'm still trying to solve this one....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jamieeeee:

I have tried tommy's fix and heartwolf fix however they didn't make a big difference.

Any suggestions?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
This has been there since the introduction of the new lock-screen that came with wm 6.5. As far as i am aware there is no fix. The tommy fix mentioned does not work for me. i just live with it, but if it bothers you try s2u2 that has no delay.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] slayerns:
i wonder how is it fixed in s2u2. can't we the delay fix only?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
I did notice when i used s2u2 slightly higher battery usage. So maybe it has something to do with the device coming out of a power saving mode. I have also tried the htc mini hd lock-screen. But that suffers from the same delay. Hopefully it will be fixed by ms.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pckshd:
It is a bug on the touch screen driver, it takes more or less a second to actually start detecting touch. Will happen with any (touch)lock screen. However in Pocketshield you can opt to use automatic unlocking (with proximity or light sensor), this way you don't have to wait for the touch screen.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mjz147:
I don't know if it is just the Sprint Hero, but the big clock widget that has the weather does not update the time. I am using DC 2.05 and have had the same problem running the stock ROM as well.

I have the transparent 2.1 flan style lockscreen so I can see the homescreen without having to unlock the phone, and unfortunetly their are 3 clocks, the lockscreen one, the one in the upper right and the HTC clock widget is in the middle and always off.

I will give an example (It is not because of the 2.1 lockscreen either, I and many others have had this problem who are using the HTC lock screen)

If i turn my phone on at 6:00 and send a text, and then turn it off,

Then check an email at 6:20, when I turn my phone on I see the transparent lockscreen so I can see the lockscreen time, and the upper right time is 6:20, but the HTC clock widget is at 6:00, becasue that is the last time I turned my phone on. Then after 2-3 seconds after I unlock my phone, the HTC clock will update to 6:20.

I know this seems reiculous but the widget takes up half of the home screen and doesn't even work right.

I have never developed an app or anything, but think I know the problem

I used Beautiful widgets and the main clock that shows the time and the weather always had the right time.

The problem must be that the HTC clock does not have access to, or is not getting the time from the system when the device is off, but rather when the phone is on, it updates it. The beautiful widgets app is, and the minute will change the same time the clock in the upper right does. However, with the HTC clock, when I am on my home screen sometimes it takes 5-6 seconds to change, even when the phone is on. So if my phone was on at 6:00 and I went on the internet for 5 minutes and click home, the HTC clock would stay on 6:00 lag for 5-6 seconds and then change to 6:05. It defeats the purpose of having a big clock..

I have searched and cannot find a fix for this, also I have had this problem when running the stock rom, and have had 2 heros, both having the problem,

any ideas, or way to fix the widget to get system time access?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] spiritcrusher33:
hum. ive never had a problem with the stock htc clock like that. and ive ran pretty much all the roms out there.. currently on fresh 2.0d...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] unCoRrUpTeD:
What he is saying is the Weather and Clock widget under the Htc Clock widget does not update the time unless you are on the home page. You put your phone to sleep, you open an app, make a call, etc and once you go back to the home screen it takes a couple of seconds to update it. Yeah, I have this issue to.

I think the reason that it doesn't update until you are on that particular home screen is to save battery life. Anything constantly checking something will reduce battery time. Might not be alot, but I think that is why.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] flipzmode:
The widgets don't update while the phone is asleep to conserve battery (as was just mentioned). You only see this behavior because you have a modified lockscreen that makes it transparent. That's not how it is was designed by HTC. The extra few seconds to unlock the phone and actually see your home screen would be the delay it usually needs to update the clock.

That or HTC could make all of their widgets continue to use cpu cycles when you aren't looking at them. :o

[Nexus One General] Cuda1337:
Alright, so I've read just about every thread on here about battery life. Some people get 80 hours, other 6. Some people turn the screen on once and the battery is drained, while another person is powering their car with it. Suffice to say, there is a LARGE discrepancy in how much battery we get.

Some thoughts on the subject.

When I first got my phone, battery life wasn't really all that bad. Then I started playing with it. We all rooted our phones. Then we flashed a ROM on there. Then we changed kernals. We updated radios. We installed apps. We took off apps. We used live wallpapers. We changed our screen brightness. We under/overclocked. We also all use different homescreen replacements. And this hasn't really been talked about yet.

So in an effort to get to the bottom of this battery mystery, I'd like this thread to be entirely about homescreen replacements. It's something that's very easy to change and can be measured by each one of us individually.

For simplicities sake, let's do a simple poll on your battery life with whatever home screen you currently use. So we can all measure these the same, let's use the same program. I prefer to use a widget called battery left (find it in the market). I trust this program, as I've seen full day usage anywhere from 30 hours (estimated) down to about 12. When you are fully charged and after a day or two of use, the battery left widget will give you an estimation of how long your battery will last (in hours). So with that information, we can all have our different usage habits, but still compare home screens objectively. For any interested, I'd like to see what different reportings you get from each home screen (but remember, they will require a day or two of usage for the battery to recalibrate. Also, make sure you tell it to recalibrate when you change to a different homescreen).

I think this could be a key area of concern for battery life.
[Nexus One General] Cuda1337:
For discussion purposes, I was using Home++ when I was having major battery issues. I have since switched to Helix Launcher 2 and it seems to have improved my battery life a good bit. I do not think I am at the level I was at originally (stock), but I also probably run a lot more. Currently, my full battery life charge with Helix is 21 hours. Battery Left claims moderate accuracy. I will let this run for a few more days and then switch to another home screen and see the differences, while trying to keep my usage habits similar.

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] chiefsalami:
Guys, I have a P3300 that has a non-functioning USB connector. Charging works fine, but it will not sync over USB at all. The device is not detected at all. Even in the bootloader screen, when the USB cable is plugged in, it DOES NOT say "USB" in the bottom corner. Basically, the data functionality of the USB port is fried.

I had used USPL to flash a cooked ROM onto the device, and when the USB port worked, it all went fine. Now, with the USB port not working, I can only flash a stock ROM onto the phone using the memory card method. If I try to flash anything other than the stock ROM, it says "certificate invalid" and won't do it.

I read somewhere that there might be a method of doing the CID unlock by using the memory card, since the phone will not communicate with the computer via USB to use USPL the normal way. Can someone instruct me on how to do that? I have the USPL files on my computer, and simply renaming the .nbh file in order to try to use the memory card method won't work.

Can someone help me figure out how to use USPL or otherwise CID unlock the phone over some method other than USB to the computer? Thanks,
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] nik3r:
Well you can use activesync over BT, right? That might just do teh trick + SD card flash after it reboots to bootloader.

I might be wrong, it's just a thought :)
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] chiefsalami:
I tried that, but the USPL loader kills Activesync right at the start. So once the phone soft-reboots into the white screen and AS is killed, there is no more BT connection. So the USPL loader fails with an error of not being able to connect.

Those having questions on flashing (i.e. updating) their HTC Artemis could try following these steps 1) Backup e.g. PIM Backup 2) disable standby and hibernation then remove SIM & SDHC cards 3) if necessary then cid unlock 4) recommend hard reset or update to the latest official build 5) if necessary Update SPL to latest 1.11.cmon 6) flash new rom then hard reset 7) put in SIM & SDHC cards and enjoy the result of the hard work by the developer :)
