UK T-Mobile user

Hi,

I've had mine for about a week, and it did not come with the YouTube app, unless it hidden and I have to find it, also I did not get any of the games i.e. guitar hero, etc... again im not sure if was suppose to unlock these, I did not see any information on this in the box.

Feel a bit ripped off, but this is nothing new in the UK.

Thanks...

:)

replaced htc hd2

t-mobile uk replaced my phone and I am about to find out if it was actually the utube app that created the problem, the thing is that, the playback problem occured many days after I had installed the utube app on my previous htc hd2. Anyways, it could be just that. My htc hd2 had no preloaded utube app and just one game... probably the rest are hidden ...

P.S. I noticed that the camera on my old htc hd2 was a little bit crooked, i.e. the square was not parallel with the battery cover, probably a minor thing since the camera was fully functional but still once you notice it, you can't forget it...:D:p
[HD2 General] malisha1:
I can no longer view videos i recorded using the camera and i cannot watch the Transformers movies. I by mistake installed the old version of youtube which i then replace with the original. Someone please help otherwise i would have to reset the phone to factory.
[HD2 General] stifer:
I'm afraid there is not much you can do appart from backing up everything and then resetting... But I am not an expert, maybe you need an expert's opinion on that one...
[HD2 General] LB ROLLER:
hey whats up everyone i recently had the same issue im running a different rom on my phone not the stock one i too had the same problem where none of my videos would play not transformers not any of the ones i recorded with the cam nothing i would just get a a buzzing static noise.. well after playing with my phone a bit and reinstalling different programs i came to find out it has something to with POCKET MECHANIC... i think its when i run the registry cleaner.. i havent tried to install any other reg cleaners. but after having not installed POCKET MECHANIC my phone has been working fine now...

Droid Eris November 6, 2009 - May, 2010

That seems a bit short. I'm still happy with my purchase and hope this doesn't stop HTC from supporting it later on (I know it won't be soon) and that the devs may lose interest... Oh well. Maybe i'll scrap some cash together and just grab a desire when it comes out... who knows.

**Sorry for the poor title. I didn't catch it til it was too late.**
[Droid Eris General] Lemcott:
it's really all verizon's fault, they NEVER promoted the eris, and if you went in there wanting to buy one they would push the droid on you like no tomorrow.

hopefully this doesnt stop them from releasing the 2.1 OTA update to the general public, it will really help development along for us. Someday, when my eris dies I will upgrade (damn that incredible looks so good...) but until that day, I dont regret a single thing about it. except for installing leak, good thing a got a replacement though :P
[Droid Eris General] mixedlemon:
It always seemed to me like the Eris has been advertised as Verizon's cheaper (even free for a lot of us) alternative to the Droid, and it did it's job well.

With the Incredible and Nexus One and all of the other phones (probably) coming out soon I'd expect the Droid to take the Eris' place in the lineup, like a "Buy a new HTC Incredible and get a Motorola Droid FREE" kind of deal.
[Droid Eris General] Android22:
ah.... oh well...

Looks like I will be upgrading soon... and paying the full price too lol, since I JUST started my contract on November 2009... :( oh well technology comes and goes.. and I'll have a new testing device! :p
[Droid Eris General] WalkingTaco:
Why would you upgrade that quick? The eris still has quite a few miles left in her. Early adopters can be very annoying sometimes. I have a friend (kind of) that buys a new macbook everytime there is a refresh. Drives me bat**** crazy to pay several hundred dollars more for something that does only a little more than the old one...
[Droid Eris General] sunder74:
The Long and The Short of it...

We all know technology changes daily be it hardware or software or whatever...

Cell phones, pda's ect are particularly susceptible as they are market driven and manufacturers are always trying to come out with the "Next Big Thing".

Hell the moto droid is now available on several websites for 20 bucks on a new 2 year...Letstalk.com etc...

Being a former 8 year blackberry user I can say this for Android at least theyre not just putting a new facade over a dated os\ui . So long as my eris doesnt melt down at the end of life date I'm good. Also so long as you're a VZW customer you'll get support for your device even if it is minimal.
[Droid Eris General] rheally:
I always felt the Eris was kind of an afterthought, the way they marketed it.
[Droid Eris General] Android22:
It's just a thought for now... I haven't totally decided but I will wait and see what the HTC incredible or whatever VZW comes out with, has to offer... if its something like an amazingly fast phone I'll probably get it.. if not I will stay with the Eris.. I don't hate the Eris, I think it is one amazing phone :D

plus I'd still be on here [XDA] using the Eris for testing stuff, helping out as much as I can..
[Droid Eris General] Lemcott:
looking at the incredible's spec sheet though, it's really worth the upgrade, i mean... it literally DOUBLES most of the specs, the re resolution of the screen is 480x800... the eris' screen is 480 in LENGTH, that's pretty impressive. Will i get the incredible? if i had the money, which i dont, so i will stay with my eris for as long as I deem fit, because honestly, it's a damn good phone for what it's worth.
[Droid Eris General] WalkingTaco:
and what about in six more months after that and they double the specs on the incredible

[Droid Eris General] Android22:
exactly... I will see when i comes out what people are saying first.. and the eris is an amazing phone for the price. I really dont think you can beat the value.
[Droid Eris General] seanmcd72:
After rocking an HTC Touch for 1.5 years, I bought a brand new Eris from someone and avoided a contract reset just a week ago. I think it's a great phone, and I have no regrets. I can upgrade anytime but I'm still on a very good Alltel contract so I want to hold out as long as I can before switching to a VZW plan. It does everything I need it to do.
[Droid Eris General] Sheen160:
Has anyone heard anything more about this? I'd like to know if it's actually going to happen or not. Although I'm sure if it is we'll find out soon.. I'd also like to know if they'd offer us an upgrade for free or at least half price. If they stop doing the phone completely I think they should at least offer us something. I'd love to upgrade to the Incredible if it was free or half price..
[Droid Eris General] Lemcott:
why would they give us a new phone simply because they've stopped selling it?

If you have to do a warranty replacement or anything like that, I'm sure there is a large multitude of backup units, and once those run out/they stop carrying those, verizon will simply replace it with a phone of equal value and hardware features like they always have done for discontinued phones.
[Droid Eris General] rheally:
BUT WHY SENSE UI? :(

i want the incredible. i'm due for an upgrade. and i'm depressed because the nexus one is apparently not coming to verizon. but incredible without sense ui would be ahmazing
[Droid Eris General] sms440:
Where did you hear that the nexus one isn't coming to verizon. It's been confirmed for verizon for a while now. There just isn't a release date. I suspect we'll hear about it next month at the google I/o conference as will as news about froyo.

[Droid Eris General] sms440:
I just read an article about the nexus one being scrapped. Thought you just another person complaining because they were impatient. I'll eat my words and apologize now.
[Droid Eris General] Lemcott:
yeah, the nexus one is pretty dead.

plagued by 3g problems, and low sales, the only thing to really look forward to in picking one up over another phone like the incredible is that it it's wireless N chipset miiiiiiiiiiight (big might) get support soon.

honestly, for the price you'd be better off getting an incredible and waiting for root to get vanilla-android.

and man, why do people hate sense ui so much? the only ONLY problem it has is how laggy it can get. and on the eris? honestly, I expected it when I bought it looking at the specs. but upgrading to 2.1 got rid of ALL the lag for me. I love the look and extra screens of sense.

and jebus... the incredible is rocking DOUBLE the cpu and ram hardware, using nearly the same rosie build as the eris. it will be faster then us on 2.1 out of the freaking box, and with root... you'll be blazing through apps like crazy.

Halo movie not dead?

Master Chief

A posh man from Microsoft says that the Halo movie will happen. He’s not quite sure when, though…

Published on Apr 9, 2010

Earlier in the week, we reported on the delays that have hit the planned Gears Of War movie. In a story that sounded similar to earlier attempts to get Halo turned into a film, New Line apparently baulked at the planned budget for Gears Of War, and has insisted on a rewritten story with the idea being to bring the budget right down. You can read our story here.

It did get us wondering as to what was happening with the planned Halo film, though. Universal had been set to make it, with District 9 director Neill Blomkamp on board, but it was ultimately put off by the price. And since then, the idea of a Halo movie has hung around in development hell.

However, IGN has managed to get an update, coming from the mouth of Frank O'Connor. O'Connor is the Franchise Development Director for 343 Industries, which is the sub-division of Microsoft Game Studios now responsible for Halo. And O'Connor is adamant the film is coming.

IGN reports that he said, "We're going to make a movie when the time is right. We own the IP. If we want to make a movie, the scale of all the other stuff that we do changes dramatically. We make tens and tens of millions of dollars on ancillary stuff, toys, apparel, music and publishing. If we do a movie all of that will grow exponentially. We have some numbers if we do a movie, but it changes everything. It also changes our target and age demographic."

We'd have preferred it if he'd said, "We have a great creative idea for a movie that we're keen to realise," but we're realists.

Expect the Halo movie when the spreadsheet, rather than the screenplay, finally says yes, then. And check out the IGN story here.

Does anyone know if I can get the recovery image for the 2.1 ROM Sprint test that was released yesterday?
[Hero CDMA General] justinisyoung:
recovery images are all the same, its independent of the rom. so you'd want to use Amon RA's 1.6.2 recovery.

seriously, please use the sticky wikis!
[Hero CDMA General] spatel9114:
I tried using that, but when I go to flash it (using command prompt), it says "flash_image: not found"..anyone know what I can do? I'm trying to root my phone back so I can get Damageless 2.1 back as my apps are not showing up in the market for this test release..

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] marasp:
Today at 8:56am Warsaw time, in Smolensk near Katyn (Russia) there has been horrible and tragic air crash in which 96 people died...amongst them the President of Poland and his Wife as well as 18 members of Polish parliament including 3 deputy-speakers, Presidential ministers, most of the top military commanders, governors of many important governmental agencies (Central Bank, IPN, Polish Olympic Committee, Law Society, National Security Bureau), Bishops and priests of catholic, protestant and orthodox faith, members of NGO Rodzin Katynskich.

For many members of XDA this time is very difficult and sad times...

To commemorate them I created some backgrounds...for polish (and not only) people who would like to pay a tribute to them during a "National Week of Mourning".

I'm not professional graphic designer and I've done it quickly but perhaps this will be a start and someone from our community more talented then me like grzegorz10 will do something much nicer

All day Saturday, thousands of residents flocked to central Warsaw, the site of the presidential palace.

They left wreaths and lit candles. As night fell, the numbers grew to about 100,000 by some estimates. Many cried openly while others stared blankly at the sky.

On Monday, the country begins a week-long period of mourning.

Is the most tragic moment in our history. Thank you guys, its very touching.

hey !!

few days ago i was playing osngs in the music tab of the TC HD2 ( the tab which can be found down the screen with the green icon !! ) . anyway , it asked me if i want to update the albums or something like that , i checked the box " dont ask me again " and by mistake i pressed "YES" , and its downloading updates ever since !! how can i fix it ?????? i was checking in each and every possible setting options and couldn't find anything to fix it.

thnak u very much !!
[HD2 General] Kev007:
i believe the registry setting that controls that is under HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCAlbum, i think it's the

as_update

value (i'm not too sure as i expected it to have a 0 or 1 value, but i have it enabled and it shows up as 24751624)
[HD2 General] edmi:
tnks kev for answering

but , could u a little bit more specific ... ? i mean , im quite new with HTC HD2 ... and im not sure what it means

HKLM

/Software/HTC/HTCAlbum

what does it stands for -HLKM ? how do i go there :) ???...

tnks in advance !!! :)
[HD2 General] Raadius:
I have a similar question, while in the music player I accidently choose HTC to find the album art, now some of my songs have album art not even close to the song. IE: I have a song by 'Drake - Over' and it found some Irish Musical Pub Holiday Album. How do I change it back?
[HD2 General] Heartbreak:
Does anyone have the issue of their alarm not showing up on the homescreen, even though it is turned on when you bring up the alarm setup screen? My alarm doesn't work, nor does it display, and when it says it is on. Does anyone have any insight, or fix to this problem. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
compare the alarms you set in htc with the alarm details in

settings menu all settings clocks and alarms

you may well find that one set has different alarm sound set, which may or may not even exist.

I have also seen winmo have problems with alarms if you leave the message box blank.
[HD2 General] Heartbreak:
That unfortunately did not work, they both have matching "ringtones" and also the same description, but it doesn't show up. Any other suggestions?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
in settings menu all settings sounds and notifications, notifications tab in the event drop down, select "reminders" and ensure show on screen is ticked.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
oh and in clocks and alarms, alarms tab, make sure "sound even if phone is set to silent" is ticked (or words to that effect)
[HD2 General] MirasHD2:
make sure the "S" for Saturday which is today is selected.
[HD2 General] htcfreak:
Yup, I too have the same prob, I had similar probs on MANILA 2D on my ELF too..!!!

I think there's some prob with the HTC Manla & Sense..!!!

The only solution is to download some ALARM APP like G-Alarm..!!!
[HD2 General] MirasHD2:
Mine is working fine.
[HD2 General] Reignzone:
That answer was almost cute... almost.

Simple solution, ready...? G-Alarm. OR, OR, OR... SPB Time. :)
[HD2 General] speedy2721:
I have this same issue, and it is not a specific rom that this bug is in because I tried a few different ones and the problem still occurred. It seems like the alarm will only turn on if you set it for the next day. If you set it two days from now then it won't show up as it being on.
[Android Themes] SlamRjammer:
Anyone have any themes that work with MM 1.9.8 and (ESE81)? The free 1.9.4 version isnt giving me problems (other than the same framework-res.apk issue that most people are having), but cant find one single theme that will work with MM 1.9.8 (donate version).
[Android Themes] kusotare:
its because the free version still uses .thm files to direct the files. the "pro" version uses the new xml format.

Credits:

jonasl for extracting this from a Tattoo build and making it work 100%

This keyboard is made for our resolution (240x320). It looks perfect and isn't stretched in any way!

HTC_IME.apk is the keyboard.

Clicker.apk is the calibration tool in the keyboards settings.

Installation Instructions

1. Install both HTC_IME.apk and Clicker.apk.

2. Rename/remove the file /system/lib/libt9.so (I suggest renaming to libt9bk.so). You need root permissions to do this (the program Root Explorer works great.)

3. Menu -> Settings -> Locale & text. Enable 'Touch Input'.

4. Go to a text field and long-hold until a menu pops up.

5. Select 'Input Method' and then 'Touch Input'

Download HTC_IME.apk

Download Clicker.apk

Please let me know if you have any problems. Feedback is much appreciated!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] JM-PDA:
I installed it successfully.

Then opened up Handcent SMS...

Then press and hold the text input area... and get message box.

Select "Input Method"... then I get a Select Input Method pop up.

The only option available is "Android Keyboard".

I see no option for HTC_IME.

Any ideas?

Thx!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cp0020:
you need to go into settings/ locale & text and then enable it

Got it. Thanks! It is now enabled and selected.

However, now I go to type into a text box I get a message:

Ideas?
