[Touch HD General] paracyte:
looks like no one is sure about it or there is no such a options.,

For those who use s2u2 and are annoyed about double screen lock when you take the pen out of the hd and system lock turns on, try to instead of putting back stylus in when screen is on ,turn it off and then put stylus back, turn screen on and there you go.. untill you take stylus out again there will be no double lock. You just have to remember to put it back when the screen is off and it will work great.

hope that helps.
[HD2 General] BillTheCat:
Just a couple quick questions, please.

Ordered a T9193 from AU (Telus ROM, if I'm not mistaken) and it will be arriving in a few days. But with all the knockoffs out there, I'm wondering if any of you have heard anything about the HD2 being a target of counterfeiters. I would think not because of the new hardware and the cost of it, but you never know.

Also, if any of you guys have a 'FAQ for new HD2 owners who are on AT&T', that would be great. Just wondering if there are any settings, ROMs or applications I should be loading up.

Thanks!
[HD2 General] guiri_too:
Bill, did you get your phone yet and if so, I could use a little help if you've got a little spare time.

Tell Opus I said hi by the way :D

Thanks

George
[HD2 General] BillTheCat:
George, I'm at your service. How can I help?
[HD2 General] guiri_too:
Ok boss, here's what I need or have problems with..

"Does anyone have the HTC Touch HD2 T9193?

If so, could you show me what the screen looks like with the fonts set at max size?

There's also supposedly a feature that lets you enlarge the screen 200% and I would love to see some pics of what that looks like 'cause I really have a problem finding a phone where the stuff on the screen is big enough for me to see without glasses.

Maybe someone could do this and put it on a scanner so I can get a good picture to scale? I could then download a pic of an iPhone and scale it to size and compare the two side by side."

My problem is I can't see anything without glasses and the reason I got an iPhone a couple of years ago which was borderline in font size at the time. My eyes have gotten worse since then and besides, I hate the damn iPhone. Worse PHONE I've had.

Great at other stuff but as a phone, it's a piece of $hit! :(

Funny considering it's got PHONE in the name...

Thanks Bill

George
[HD2 General] BillTheCat:
George, the built in (Windows Mobile) font size control applies only to text in applications, not the text for displays like icons or other informational labels. However, if you can track down a shareware utility called "Advanced Configuration" by Julian Schapman, I believe it has the ability to do what you need. If not, I'm sure there's a tweak for that somewhere around here, and if one doesn't already exist, this is the place to ask to get one done for you.

BTW, my eyes aren't what they used to be twenty years ago, either, which is why I went with the big screen of the HD2. We're in the same boat/
[HD2 General] guiri_too:
Here's the problem Bill. Ever since I started looking for a good phone some 3 years ago, I've never been able to find something that would give me larger fonts and info.

Screens have always been big enough but the space allowed for a phone number, picture of the person calling or something has always been limited.

I got help a few years ago by Negri Electronics (negrielectronics.com) and they recommended the iphone which WAS a good choice for font size and so on.

Anyway, in iPhone all that was better but still left a bit to be desired because there WAS more space available but lots of it was wasted.

I am now on the lookout for a new phone and again the same problem.

I found the program you mentioned and NOT a word about making stuff bigger... http://www.touchxperience.com/en/applications/advanced-configuration-tool.html

As for getting someone here to write something or hack it, that's all good but I would have to first BUY the damn thing so I can see how software works on it and what if it doesn't work?

The problem is, I have no way of KNOWING that I'll get this resolved :(

Hell, I posted a thread here asking for help (not this thread, another one but I can't post the link as it won't let me) and still not even one answer. The internet is great but sometimes, it can take AGES to get something resolved :(

THanks

George
[HD2 General] johnboatcat:
Well I guess your answer is that

the HD2 is as big as you are going to get until they get a phone app for the iPad.
[HD2 General] BillTheCat:
George, it sounds like you haven't seen the HD2 in person yet. The first thing I'd recommend is to find someone who has one (even if it means going to a Tmobile store) and look at the phone in person.

With regard to the Advanced Configuration Tool, if you look under the list for 'user interface', you'll see a selection for: vertical icon spacing, horizontal icon spacing and icon title font size. However I don't know if this will work with the HD2's interface so you'll have to ask of someone who uses it.

I'm willing to bet that what you want can be done. It's probably just some settings in the registry that you can change, or find a utility that provides a user-friendly interface to change settings such as the ACT or BSB Tweaks.

A last resort would be to hire a ROM chef to cook up a basic interface for you which would accommodate your needs. Might cost you some money, but it would get you exactly what you need. Try touching base with the developer of Co0kie's Home Tab and/or one of the better known ROM chefs (look in the HD2 ROM Development forum here) to see if you can find someone to work with.

Other than that, I'm pretty much out of ideas.
[HD2 General] BLAST3RR:
The HD2 is in comparaison to for example the Diamond 2 or any other previous HTC phone 'huge'. Font sizes on these previous versions are much smaller.

Once you get used to the HD2 you realize how small those older models' screens and letters really are.. ;)
[HD2 General] guiri_too:
THanks guys.

Then there's the small matter of the 8-900 bucks for the phone but that's another issue.

How much do you think I would have to pay someone to mod this for me and would you possibly have a couple of links for me as I'm not sure even who, what and where these people are?

I will post something on the forum of that advance software site, thanks

By the way, the local stores don't have the 9193 and the other stuff they have isn't working. Dummies only. Eh, dummy phones I mean

George
[HD2 General] BillTheCat:
George, be creative here and make your own solution. Here are two choices on how to go about it.

1) Post an inquiry to meet up with someone in your area explaining that because of your eyesight you wanted to see an HD2 in action to see if it's right for you. If you happen to be in the NJ, Southern NY or Norteastern PA areas, I'd be glad to meet with you so you can see mine.

-or-

2) Just go to a Tmobile store, tell them you're thinking about buying the phone, that you have bad eyesight and you wanted to see a functioning unit to tell if it's right for you and you can operate it with your eyesight being as it is. Obviously don't mention that you're intending to go with an AT&T carrier, but then again, Tmobile is a great provider and unless you're in a bad area I see no reason why you shouldn't consider them.

As to finding a chef, just put a post in the ROM Development forum. There are many known chefs such as Dutty, Artemis, Energy and others who may be more than happy to code something for you at a price. How much? I don't know, but hell - they do it for free and post their stuff on the forum here for nothing for the benefit of all of us with nothing asked in return but a good will donation, so I'm sure you can work something out.

Pricing on the phone is steep but you can get a T9193 for about $700. I bought mine from this guy via Ebay for $740-ish delivered to my door, but if you shop around and wait it out, I've seen buyers get them for as low as $600.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Unlocked-HTC-HD...wItem&pt=AU_Mobile_Phones&hash=item4aa0aa52ec

I mean, really - it's not that complicated, unless you're intentionally trying to make it hard on yourself. You'll never get anything if you don't ask for it, earn it, or make your own luck. Just be persistent and you'll find it'll be worth your while, no matter what the end result. The victory is in the trying.
[HD2 General] guiri_too:
Yep, you're right but all this is new to me.

Other things that I have more experience with, I can find easier but all this is new and I'm a bit lost.

I just want to narrow it down so I post in the right place and so on because some post I've made, I have had NO response too so no matter if I tried, it didn't work.

For instance, I'm looking for this ROM development forum or threads and I can't find it. I'm guessing you're talking about the windows software development forum/section?

Also, I was scrolling down and looking at the phone specific forums and I can't even tell which phone is which. It's not that easy bro. Well, for me it's not.

Some things I'm good at and others, I'm not.

I'm not really that lazy. I do a lot of research on the web but man, it gets tiring when you only get bits and pieces and you're going back and forth. Anyway, I'm just trying to explain. I will continue as I DO need a phone.

Where should I post to find someone in my area?

The local store didn't have one when I was there a couple of days ago.

Thanks

George
[HD2 General] guiri_too:
By the way, I just called the t mobile store I was at on monday and the guy confirmed that his phone that he showed me was the HD2 and whatever was on his screen, I had a real hard time seeing, even the icons were too small for me to distinguish.

George
[HD2 General] rouzb3h:
Is there such a ROM? I tried to cook one, but couldnt get the sense to work. is there any way to downgrade leo's sense to 2.1?

Reason: I would like to try the GT7 Theme, it looks cool :-D
[HD2 General] LeeBv:
From other posts I've seen on this forum, it appears that the FM radio on the HD2 is not nearly as good as the one in the HD. I used the HD for well over a year and the radio worked well, and I used it every morning. However, on the HD2 the radio signal on the station I use has noticeably more static.

Now, something interesting I noted. I was not using the HTC headset but a Koss headset that is much more comfortable. I tried the OEM HTC headset, and the radio seemed to be better!

Since the wired headset acts as the antenna, does anybody know if the OEM headset has a better antenna function than others? Or, does anybody know of a more comfortable headset (the OEM headset feels like I've got a couple square pegs hammered in me earholes) with better radio reception?

Cheers
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Have you got BsBTweaks installed by any chance? It has a radio reception improvement tweak at the flick of a slider.
[HD2 General] Starfury:
Radio De-emphasis? Didn't think that caused better reception of the original signal.
[HD2 General] LeeBv:
Yep, BsB is installed. Actually, turning on the FM tweak seems to create more static.

I did a test with my old HD just now. Same station, same headset, no static on the HD but lots of static on the HD2.

Facebook is pretty huge, Even SE has fan pages on there.

What better way to get them to pay attention than setting up a "not a big fan" page?

So please, everyone please join this group. The more people we get, the more they will pay attention.

Thanks to René for setting it up.

Joined, thanks!!!
[XPERIA X2 General] reveine:
I signed up to this forum only to express my disappointment towards SE and joined the group of unhappy X2 owners. Thanks everyone who has posted the topics about the problems with X2 so I know that I'm not the only one who felt cheated. We paid the premium price for the phone and I don't mind minor bugs but how do I suppose to rely on this device if it keeps shutting itself down for no reason whatsever after it enters the standby....

Yesterday I reached my phone to take a picture of my friends and found my phone dead... nothing more embarrassing than having to remove the battery, inserted again, asked friends to wait until this piece of crap boots up and ready to take pic.. in.. well.. .4 minutes later????
[XPERIA X2 General] gunawan-1:
Wait. Don't forget me. I'm coming.
[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
Spread the word, the faster we get more people the quicker we can get some sort of response from SE.

They have not bothered to even respond to the complaints in their fan page... tsk tsk!
[XPERIA X2 General] daylon:
me are disappointed with X2. Signed up in facebook group.
[XPERIA X2 General] poetryrocksalot:
LOL some of you like the X1. If the X2 is better than the X1, why hate it?
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
What?!

I love X1, it's fast and stable.

I would love X2 because it's really great,

but you just cannot use it properly because the device makes

it impossible bacuse of freezes.

Clear? :D
[XPERIA X2 General] caliban2:
so, what's the difference to the x1 then? :D

you can't even say the x2 has better build quality yet - it's too early.

apart from that it looks like SE is playing the same game again: "who? what? oh, i see. we already have your money. sorry, you're on your own now. come back when we sell you our next flagship and have a nice day!" :)
[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
If we had Custom X1 stability and ability in an X2 shell, it would be a perfect world :p

Look at this video:

Looks like getting HTC HD Mini also gives you problems.....

Many apps don't work there including SPB Mobile Shell!
[XPERIA X2 General] Biges:
This does not look like an official answer. Why would the poster refer to SE in third person?
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
What are you talking about?

He says we

like: "and we are actively looking into the messaging experience you describe"....
[XPERIA X2 General] orelsi:
There is no difference. It is the same device. That's why I am not buying it.

There is still not a single device on the market that has the features of the X1 (keyboard, d-pad, optical mouse, winmo, softbuttons, style and looks :D and much more). The ones with powerful processors lack some of the features I mentioned and with the heavy customization most of us have done, my X1 can match or even perform better than brand new devices. Nuff said.
[XPERIA X2 General] caliban2:
yeah, it's the same device. most important thing they've got in common is that they're from SE - which is dead for all time for me when it comes to smartphones. the x1-experience has been enough (drivers, software-support)

(apart from that my x1 is fine, i'm even SoD-free for 3 weeks now... :eek: )

you're right about the features though... it's strange that all the "big" phones, no matter what OS, nowadays lack a hw-keyboard. well, i'll find out when i get my desire - maybe soft-kb on a big screen really pleases all needs?

Personally I think it is someone being stupid. Like a little 12 your old virgin with nothing better to do.

Why would Aaron be working on a Sunday?
[XPERIA X2 General] ultrashot:
mtechfan, yes, it something like this:) but it was funny that SE haven't made normal registration/authorization system in their blog.
[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
I think those last posts disappeared? At least I cant find them... maybe I am just tired.
[XPERIA X2 General] Biges:
You are right. I searched *below* the post in your link :)

Let's hope they are really actively looking into all problems...

[Desire General] Cleargrey:
I emailed HTC on a few issues so I could get answers straight from them. I'll put them down point by answered point.

Q1. When syncing with your Google account, is it possible to sync with "My Contacts" without syncing with "All Contacts"?

A1. It is not possible to sync just 'My Contacts', it would always be 'Google Contacts, or 'All Contacts'.

(This I already found out from them as it syncs All Contacts first before syncing subgroups. And My Contacts is essentially a subgroup of All Contacts.)

Q2. Is there any way of saving contact vCard (that have been sent to you) to your synced (in my case Google) account? When you are sent a vCal, you have options of where to save it, but no options seem to appear for vCard contact files.

A2. vCards can only be saved as 'My Contacts', they cannit be moved over to 'Google Contacts'. I'm afraid it is not something there is an option for.

Q3. Is there any way of copying/moving a contact saved only on the phone to the set of contacts synced with your Google account? i.e similar to copying/moving from sim to phone, but copying/moving from only on the phone to phone and Google account.

A3. Like in point 2., I'm afraid you cannot change the type of contact once it has been saved, i.e, a Google Contact is always a Google contact, and can't be moved over to My contacts.

Q4. I have noticed that I if I change a birthday for a contact on the phone, the change is always reset to the information held online. Also, I've noticed that if I create a contact on the phone that contains birthday information, that contact will be deleted when the phone syncs. However changing a birthday online will sync to the phone just fine. Am I doing something wrong?

A4. The calender information held online has precedence over the information held on the phone. So if you create a contact with calender information contained within it, when it syncs, the calender information is reomved...as well as the contact information attached. But no, you're not doing anything wrong.

Q5. Regarding the calendar, I have noticed that the Desire will not receive vCal sent via SMS. I am using the same sim card as was in my previous device where I could receive vCal through SMS as well as MMS. Is this a feature of the phone, a setting that I have missed or is the ability to receive vCal via SMS not present?

A5. With regards to vCal, its the latter I'm afraid-vCal cannot be received via SMS, only MMS, Bluetooth or email.

------------------------------------

The only one's that bother me are points 2, 3 and 4. I think we definitely need a way to save contacts sent to us to our synced accounts.

But I don't really get the syncing issue. Maybe he didn't answer my question properly because if you create a contact on the phone without a birthday, it will sync just fine.

The birthday issue is relatively minor. The saving to synced contacts, not so minor.
[Desire General] :
not convinced by any of those answers whatsoever!

However, not got one at the moment to debunk them.

Mine should arrive tomorrow or the day after, and then i shall be back to prove these answers as wrong, or as a fault in the phone!

:D
[Desire General] gogol:
Are these really HTC Contact app limitation ... or Google Android limitation related to Google GMail Contacts?

What if we change the contact app to something else from the Market?
[Desire General] TulpiX:
i have a question regarding point 4

does this mean the whole contact gets deleted or just the calendar entry ?
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
I'll be waiting! I could do chow down on some more info!
[Desire General] entropy:
Thanks for the info!

The thing I don't get is this:

A1. It is not possible to sync just 'My Contacts', it would always be 'Google Contacts, or 'All Contacts'.

How can that not be a MAJOR problem?! I got hundreds of mail addresses in there of people I ever wrote to. If they would show up on my phone, that would make the whole sync feature useless.

Or am I missing something?
[Desire General] JapanLover:
no entropy, you're not missing anything, it's a major issue to me!

I really hate to have ALL the contacts I wrote to or received a mail from, even for just one time only.

A little work-around is to check the contact option which says something like "only show contacts with telephone number", but it works in Phone contacts only: if you, from the menu, click on search contacts and look for something it will show up with EVERY contact you got in touch on gmail.

It really pisses me off
[Desire General] zonkkk:
I am only importing My Contacts on my phone. I don't know how I did it, but I have My Contacts with a few groups,(about 60 contacts) and then I have All Contacts, with over 200 people. None of these show up on my phone...
[Desire General] JapanLover:
That would be interesting to know!

Are you sure they are not showing just because, maybe, you checked "only show contacts with telephone number"?

Will you test ti by going on the main menu, and click "search contacts" and see you EVERY contact (mail only ones too I mean) shows up?

Thnx
[Desire General] JTHM:
I've been a bit troubled by contacts over the past couple of days and been spending a lot of time getting them sorted. All working pretty peachy now but it was a trial.

If may help to read my posts here and here.
[Desire General] JapanLover:
goin' home, but will DEFINITELY check your posts!!! :D

Oh: since you look experienced on GContacts... any clues on progs to sync Outlook other than the good Go Contacts Sync? it works well, but it doesn't updates pics
