[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dekoning:
seriously, I would like this too! I'm carrying the stock rom from HTC NL. and have allready disable the HTC sms (slow / crappy / slow / did I say slow?). But would prefer the winmo threaded sms. There's got to be someone here with a solution?

i think it has right? it looks nicer. where to get it?

[Desire General] bcmobile:
The whole handset looks black to me. Probably the Orange version or one of the other black models being shipped elsewhere in Europe (NL?).
[Desire General] supasye:
it looks so much better in black! i want that one!
[Desire General] cez10:
black version is an exclusive for orange in uk, though some people said the cover looks kind of cheap
[Desire General] supasye:
the cover looks cheap anyway. ive seen other videos of black ones but they dont look like this one. this one still has the original finish.
[Desire General] cez10:
yeah just watched it, the only difference i noticed from the ones being sold on t-mobile is the darker buttons whereas on mine they are silver/graphite whatever they call it
[Desire General] supasye:
i think it may be called charcoal, theres a silver one too, both are in this image:
[Desire General] bcmobile:
Id say the one on the left is graphite (AKA brown).

Silver is supposedly exclusive to some EU coutries (de, nl ?)
[Desire General] EroThraX:
Do you mean the right? Because that's the graphite coloured one, a dark murky grey.
[Desire General] bcmobile:
:o ah.... yeah. sorry bout that

I am looking for the I am T-Pain app you can get for the iphone or an Autotune/Voice changer app for the HD2.

I have searched the boards here but they seem to have died a death

Can anyone make an app? I will gladly pay

I have read the forums and don't understand how to and what to install and what is the radio thing they talk about.

I have a blackstone with windows mobile 6.1. I want to install 6.5 with sense. I use tmobile uk.

What do I need to do? Give me step by step procedures. Also, give me a cooked ROM which actually works. There are so many and the table which is often refered to sucks.

Thank you.

P.S

Step by step. Post it here.
[General Questions and Answers] dcarr622:
Buddy...commanding someone to "step by step, post it here" on how to flash a ROM is not going to happen. This is a dev forum, not tech support for newbs.

Here is the how-to for HardSPL and ROM flashing:

If you're not sure what ROM to try, start with what's popular, such as Energy ROMs or Miri.
[General Questions and Answers] denco7:
And if you still refuse to do a basic search and actually read a page or two so that you can understand it yourself, then you shouldn't be messing around with custom roms, you will ruin your phone.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] boomersooner4900:
Up until about 30 minutes ago, whenever i tapped the taskbar it brought up a dark gray full-screen page that showed the battery status and connections but now it doesn't do anything and now when i touch the "3G" icon it brings up what i'm assuming is a plain vanilla windows mobile pop-up that gives the connection info and nothing else (really ugly). Any ideas about why this is happening or how to fix it?

Edit: Problem solved by removing an e-reader app i installed. weird.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
I wonder if they make a distinction between rooting and an unlocked bootloader?

Because it is possible to un-root. So for other people returning phones, they could un-root, and if they ask if it's rooted, they could say no.
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
Valid point, but I think the issue is voiding the warranty by unlocking the bootloader.
[Nexus One General] JD914:
How do you expect HTC to honor a warranty which you clearly and willingly voided?:confused:
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
Welcome to XDA.

I don't necessarily expect HTC to honor my voided warranty, but I am optimistic that HTC will fix my $580 defective phone from a manufacturing defect that is in no way related to rooting.

Like the representative I spoke with said, there's about a 50/50 chance it will work out. No harm in trying.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Interesting.

I think it's kind of crappy that unlocking the bootloader voids your hardware warranty too. I mean, if your phone has an obvious physical defect like this, completely unrelated to the firmware, then they should honor the warranty.
[Nexus One General] petard:
Comon, HTC, be reasonable! There is dust under the screen and nothing else is bad! That is obviously not related to rooting in any way. $196 to replace the motherboard? Yeah right! More like press a button on the computer and relock it.
[Nexus One General] timothydonohue:
i don't know if he is still around here anymore, but swetland works for google, and when the n1 came out, he was going to be an advocate for us, and if you were having obvious manufacturing defects (such as dust under the screen), he could pull strings to get it fixed for you.

i say pm him, and see if you get a response.
[Nexus One General] JD914:
They should but in the real world they don't have to and more than likely wont. Most people don't, but if you read the literature that comes with electronic devices you'll see why they do what they do as far as warranties go.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
And this is why I keep saying repeatedly, stop sending your device back people. A few specs of dust isn't worth the hassle. Just sent it back at 364 days. THEN it's worth it.
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
I had excessive dust, more than 30 specs.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
30 specs?

The only way it'd be worth it to send it back is when you have so much dust you can't even COUNT the specs.
[Nexus One General] petard:
No, dust is really annoying and is frustrating to have considering the price we paid for this thing. The more HTC has to refurbish, the more they learn their lesson and make sure that no dust gets in.
[Nexus One General] jblazea50:
OP, get back to us and let us know what happens
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
Good news - this issue has been resolved and will be charged nothing for my rooted phone with dust defect exchange. See OP for details.

Many thanks to the dedicated Google team that supports their loyal customers.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Congrats!

Any chance you can update the link in the OP?

It's linked as "google.com/support/android/bi...ct_type=refund" with the dots, which leads to a dead page of course
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
Thanks. OP updated.
[Nexus One General] attn1:
Here in the US, a warranty termination because of a any fine print violation will not stand up in court unless the warranty violation had a direct impact on a defect in question. Automakers have tried that kind of bologna with aftermarket parts, and they've failed. They can't refuse to honor a warranty just because a car was serviced by others, and they can't refuse to warranty an alternator because someone put on an aftermarket exhaust system, unless they can prove that those actions had a direct impact on the defect.

This does not mean HTC is obligated to bail someone out who has bricked their phone, but hardware issues like dust under the digitizer or faulty microphones or the like clearly can't be tied to unlocking the bootloader. I expect HTC or any other company to honor the laws wherever their products are marketed, and it seems that's exactly what they are doing.

I hope this ends your confusion, and really wish more slack was allowed by some for people who unlock the boot loader and then end up with hardware issues requiring service.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
I hope someone figures out how to re-lock the bootloader. :D
[Nexus One General] Mafian:
I'm really suspicious about the rooting voiding your warranty. I mean you paid damn near 577 for the device..well i know I Did... Why can't you root your own ****..its known as a google dev phone if I'm wrong correct me..But isn't android open source? why can't we try and help it be a better Operating system? They want us to sit on 2.1 until google puts something out? Why not dev with our phones and help google help itself? I mean damn... I could see if you were under a contract with tmobile..but I bought my phone brand new unlocked for the full price give me some damn use of my phone..
[Nexus One General] moto211:
OP, I just initiated an advanced replacement return for a defective camera. My bootloader is unlocked too. They didn't ask if I have an unlocked bootloader but I expect that they'll try to do the same thing to me that they did to you. I have 3 questions. Do you think I should email google support now or do you think I should wait until they try to charge me for repairs? And, do you think it might be better to call their support phone number? Lastly, do you think that form you linked to is the best one to use of the several that are available?
[Nexus One General] xqz:
Sounds great OP! Makes me feel better for having unlocked my bootloader
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
I would wait until you hear back from HTC before starting a ticket with Google. HTC will have a response for you shortly after you return your phone.

I was told directly from a Google employee that handles these situations regularly to use the form I linked to. It might not be a bad idea to submit the Google ticket and then follow up with a phone call.
[Nexus One General] nmesisca:
Hi all,

my experience with HTC ..

- bought Nexus one shortly after release. arrived all well and good. no clicking sounds, no dust. happy camper.

- waiter a couple months before eventually caving in and unlocking the bootloader.

- of course after about 15 days from unlocking I noticed quite a few specs of dust under the lower left corner. also the same corner was clicking if pressed.

- called HTC, didnt mention it was unlocked. they sent me the form to fill in.

- I sent phone and form.

- they have updated my ticket a few days ago stating that it has been repaired and that they have sent it back to me.

All in all, I wasnt expecting them to do it for free, but im pleased to see some sort of logic applied beyond simple observation of written procedures.

N
[Nexus One General] attn1:
That would be nice.

But I'd prefer to see common sense prevail and a formal modification of warranty policy. If you unlock the bootloader and end up with diminished functionality as a result, you should pay HTC if you want them to fix it. But if the problem is a hardware defect, HTC should fix it free of charge for the duration of the original warranty. That's a reasonable solution that should make everyone happy while protecting manufacturers from liabilities beyond their control. This way, no one has to feel the need to lie or otherwise deceive, regardless of where their home happens to be.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
I'm confused.

How does filling out a Refund Form connect to HTC changing your ticket?
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
Not sure exactly, but maybe it is to refund the $530 hold HTC puts on your credit card if you do the swap replacement, or to refund the charge HTC may charge for repairing the phone.
[Nexus One General] pokey9000:
So this was a repair of your phone, not a swap. HTC refurbs swapped phones, so sending them an unlocked phone requires them to go through extra steps to reflash the baseband. It's conceivable that some techs, who have discretion over what needs replacement vs. what can be polished up, will call an unlocked board "dead" and charge the customer for its replacement. That would explain all the inconsistency we see here.

Has anyone who has sent their phone for repair that has NOT done the exchange been charged in any way due to the unlocked bootloader?
[Nexus One General] SANTilt:
I sent mine in earlier this week for dust under the screen, cosmetic damage, and screen hue issues. My phone is rooted. I never mentioned anything, and they never asked.

When I received my phone yesterday, however, there was less dust, but nothing else had been done to it, repair wise. HTC did, however, un-root it.

Now, I looked to see if there was any dust, and didn't see any initially. So I went ahead and rooted my phone again. It was later on, after having rooted my phone and doing a nandroid restore, that I notice there was STILL some dust under the screen.

I just got off the phone with HTC, and they agreed to do a DOA return with a $28 hold. They wait till they get my phone, then they send out a new one. I have no idea if they'll freak out about the phone being rooted this time, but if they do, I'll try the form posted by the OP.

I'll update when I hear more...

I'm waiting till Monday to send it out. But as of today, the dust is back with a vengeance! This time the specs are BIG! I'm not too impressed with HTC thus far...at all.
[Nexus One General] moto211:
Quick update:

I received my advanced replacement on Friday. I'm shipping back the original with the broken camera today. I have restored it to the factory, unrooted rom and recovery. But, of course, the bootloader is still unlocked. I will keep you guys posted as to what kind of charges they try to stick me with.
[Nexus One General] hah2110:

So, update!

They didn't say a thing about my phone being rooted! They got my old phone in, did their thing with it, then shipped me a "new" phone. We'll see if it holds up on the dust side.

The **** sock, however, never made it out - they allegedly sent me one again...
[Nexus One General] moto211:
Final update:

I returned my phone with the broken camera on Monday. Tuesday I received an email stated that they had received my device and it had a link to website that I could use to get updates on the status of the repair/return. I checked in the following day with no change. Today it showed this:

Status: We have completed your case. If you can help us improve our service, or would like to comment, please contact HTC customer service representatives.

Service Type: Repair

Service Model: C4-On site exchange

Failure Description: C/x states can not open camera app-freezes or force closes

I even called HTC to make that the ticket was closed and that they didn't need anything else from me. They said that everything was good.
[Nexus One General] schahr01:
Another unlocked bootloader success story. I sent it in for repair last Thursday (lots of dust in the lower left of the screen). Didn't choose the "send me a replacement first" option, used my old moto q9h in the meantime. Received the update email a few minutes ago - Service complete. They're shipping out the "repaired" device tomorrow. I hope it's really a new device. Will check IMEI once I get it. I did tell them upfront that the bootloader was unlocked.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phaded:
First off, been trolling these forums for awhile now, finally just registered to post and what not. Everyone here does AMAZING work and your efforts should be heralded and shouted from the skies! lol ok enough butt kissing..

Anyways, I got a few questions. The first one is to clear up confusion:

The first leak that came out from the Taiwanese guy, that is referred to the "2.1 leak" correct? And the March 24th is "2.1 OTA Leak" ? Just reading all these threads I'm getting real confused on them.

Now I flashed the newest leak (March 24th). This from what I have read is not rooted at the moment correct? And with this version, I can't use the recovery ROM due to no being rooted correct? I just did the non root way of flashing it...

If this release does become rooted, will I be able to root my phone if I did the non-root flash?

And lastly, all the ROMS that are out. Are the based off the 1st leak root and that root only?

Sorry for all the randomness of the questions... Some of this stuff is just very overwhelming. Thanks in advance for all the future help/info. And sorry to those that will take the time to flame me and what not.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECLIPS3:
take a look at some of the links in my signature. specifically the very last one. to learn more about what each rom is based off of, then go through the links in the rest of my sig and the devs that made them might say in their thread what each rom is based off of. to start rooting your phone, if you do get to that point read the second to last link. unfortunately it sounds like you do not have a rootable rom on your phone now so you wont be able to follow that thread, unless you get a new phone and start from the beginning.

Any Ideas?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] freakzone:
Hi, I had the same problem. It was that the headphones were actually for motorola. HTC changed something in the usb so that the phone detected the headset. There was a thread somewhere about this and how to modify the usb if you can do it :)

hi. so first off i have never made an app or anything. i am a winemaker. we use a lot of equations in the winemaking process. i know the has an app that is pretty much a calculator for winemaking. i was wondering if it would be even possible me to give it a shot to make(since i have never even tried and do not even know where to start). would it be easy for me to try. it does not have to be pretty. any feed back would be great and how to get started would be even great. if someone would be interested in helping me with, i know about 30 other wine make that would pay good money for an app like this. any suggestions. thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Steven__:
Making basic applications isn't that hard if you know what you're doing. Especially if it doesn't have to have pretty graphics and a clever interface, that's even easier. That said, programming does take a while to pick up and get to grips with. The best thing to get you started is to have a project to do, and in that sense, you're well set. If you want to experiment for yourself, I'd suggest going to the Android Developers' official website as it has all kinds of tutorials and basic information to get yourself started and write very simple applications.

That said, if you're serious about paying someone to write this for you, I'm interested. How much did you have in mind? If you want to have a look at my past work, I've written a game for the Android Market; you can have a look at it and see the standard I'd provide. It's called Spectrum Puzzles, a fun jigsaw puzzle game with lots of high quality images and an easy-to-understand interface.
[Android Apps and Games] cauli:
For someone with no programming experience whilst I'm sure you could dive straight in, it might prove off-putting or result in slow progress. If you have no experience whatsoever, you need to get to grips with programming, Java, the Objected Oriented approach & Android.

Personally, I'd suggest installing Java & the integrated development environment Eclipse & using these to allow you to work through some programming tutorials in Java, which will give a more gentle introduction to programming & OO via Java, all of which you'll directly need for Android development.

Others might even suggest you take a seemingly longer route & first learn programming using a language other than Java, but hopefully that won't be necessary.

Once you feel more comfortable - which might not take long if you have plenty of spare time & find yourself suited to thinking like a programmer - you could then begin to learn how to apply all of this to the Android environment.

Of course there's no reason why you couldn't compromise & slide from the former to the latter that bit earlier so you can start on your project which will help maintain motivation when your head starts to hurt ;)

[Edit:] If you're willing to make your offer of payment a subject for public discussion I'd certainly be interested, if only in learning what kind of rates are considered acceptable for such projects. I'm not in a position to take up your request myself & it seems you already have someone with sufficient experience who's interested, but I hope to be up for such projects in the future. As an aside, I'm a former C programmer who's just getting into Java & Android now.
[Android Apps and Games] blaboy51:
iam trying to learn java and i must say its kinda hard :(
[Android Apps and Games] ilmar72:
You need to learn the basics of object oriented programming before you even think about teaching yourself JAVA. Once you learn the meaning of object oriented programming then you could pick up a Java book .
[Android Apps and Games] cauli:
It can be done incrementally. Some aspects of the language can be taught to introduce general programming concepts such as sequence, selection & iteration. OO concepts can then be introduced, followed by their implementation in Java & this can then be built upon.

The biggest risk to this approach is that of establishing a functional programming mindset before getting to the OO meat, however that's no worse than learning programming first through a non OO language. As long as the student understands to some degree how much they don't yet understand, as they proceed, imho this is workable.

The alternative of going straight into OO is going to require a fair bit of theory before getting into coding & while this might work in a classroom with plenty of teaching resources, someone reliant on self study could lose motivation.

I'd be interested in any opinions on this?

FAO the OP: If you like having a physical book to work from, rather than relying on online material solely, I am finding Eckel's Thinking In Java to have been a good choice. Of course you should check out alternatives, multiple reviews etc & look for something to fit your style of learning. I hope you don't give up - programming is a very satisfying skill to develop & use :)
