Brother works at P4U (redemption for his sins...), been in today, they will be selling the Desire "Sim Free" so unbranded at £379.95. Just make sure you get the GSM one though, as they are also pricing the branded units the same price if you're buying outright. They won't be in though for another week (if HTC's release dates have been held back)

Just thought I'd let you all know seens places like Expansys and Play are charging what... £420+??

Also, Carphone Warehouse are £420 Sim Free... And they do have them in stock.
[Desire General] cez10:
its £399 where i live
[Desire General] dragon_soft:
Actually it is £399.99 + £10 topup = £410 when you are paying by credit card

and it is £399.99 + £20 topup = £420 when paying by cash.
[Desire General] arifhanid:
£348.99

Here's a deal where it's going for £348.99

http://www.laughingdeals.com/all-deals/htc-desire-t-mobile-payg-pound-348.99.html
[Desire General] Moandal:
It's £379.95 at the Phones4U shop in St. Andrews, Scotland as of today (1st April), but of course they don't have any stock.
[Desire General] Moandal:
I e-mailed MPD about this and they said that it comes sim-locked to T-mobile, so you need to add at least another £15 to get it unlocked.
[Desire General] XDAgeek:
When I turn on my phone from standby I am surprised to find that to unlock the phone, ad well as wiping down I can also press the menu key.

Is this normal? It seems to override the whole protection which wiping provides.

Can the menu key option be disabled?
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
yes it is normal. All Android phones do this as this was the standard on earlier Android phones.

Some people prefer it to swiping. I am one of those people.

I know of no way to disable it, but it has been covered quite a few times in the sapphire and Hero forums. I'd also check in the nexus forums as well.

Hope you find what you're looking for.
[Desire General] XDAgeek:
Ok. Thanks for the clarification.
[Desire General] irkan:
oh i didnt know that, ... so if you put it in your pocket and the menu button got pressed by accident that it would be unlocked, .. hmm ... not very cool
[Desire General] Kiiv:
You need to press power button before to wake up the phone, and, after that, press menu button... I think it won't happened so many times...
[Desire General] fooXeh:
Please correct me if i'm wrong, but i thought you cannot "accidently" press the Touchscreen of the Desire because it is not responsive to something unorganic?!
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
exactly.

But as has been said, you would have to press the power button, and then press the menu button.

And anyway, I've had my Hero since August, and that unlocks with two presses of the menu button which is easier to do in a pocket and its never happened to me so far.....
[Desire General] O and O:
Is there an app/widget to just simply lauch the lock screen?
[Desire General] XDAgeek:
Aha. Very good point about the organic pointer requirement. That should stop most of the accidents.
[Desire General] irkan:
the screen receives only organic requests, ... but not the menu button!

if you turn off the display from above and put it in your pocket than this doesnt matter, because its very hard to "accidentally" press the power button in the first place.

but am talking about what if you left the screen, just locked the device and put it in your pocket, ... if you pressed the menu button accidentally than you can keep pressing search, back, menu, home buttons accidentally while in your pocket
[Desire General] mhewitson:
How can you lock the screen and not need to hit power to wake it up?
[Desire General] O and O:
That's what I've been trying to find out too!
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Why on earth would you want to do that?
[Desire General] O and O:
Because would like the display to time out but without me having to press the button but I also want it to be locked.
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Why though?

Don't get me wrong I'm not having a go at you but how hard is it to press an extra button or to just let it timeout.
[Desire General] mr.vandalay:
i also think that it would be great if we could press any harfware key to wake up the device... i think thats a great feature on hd2.
[Desire General] SammyBoyWonder:
I agree 100%. My hands aren't that big and it can be annoying at times having to stretch my index finger all the way to the top. Would be so much better it it could be done with my thumb (using one of the bottom hard keys).

I'm not moaning, just voicing my opinion.

I love this phone too much for it to be an issue.
[Desire General] 513:
Yep, I want it to be like on my Hero.
[Desire General] stavast:
is there some progress on the situation above?
[Desire General] mr.vandalay:
yes there is

edit bravo-keypad.kl to your liking --> loacted in c:\ on your comp

List and version of integrated applications

Hello,

I am interested by your ROM, but before updating my phone, I would like to know which applications I must download in order to add them (if they would miss).

Could you give more indications on the contents of your ROM?

- List and version of integrated HTC applications,

- List and version of the integrated utilities.

Thank you very much.

PocketHand2-2.0.13

Thank you for the nice ROM. For changing fonts on some icons into Japanese, I need a kind of graphical registry editing software, "PocketHand-2" , but the ROM rejects its activation, and creates a shortcut of "OPERA" in the program screen?! Hoping you will help me out.

Awesome turn based war game. Graphics look pretty good, I am told it is like Mafia Wars, but I have never played that. You get to Level up, add units to your military, add buildings that help you. Any way, I love it and have been playing it as much as I can since I got it.

Nice Game, if derivative

Long time lurker, first time poster!

I love this game. No, it isn't new, it doesn't include many innovative features (having played mafia wars, pirate wars, etc. the feature set should be familiar to other users of these games). That said, it takes these old features, packages them in a slick new interface and adds its own twist to a tried and true formula.

The one significant improvement it adds to its predecessors (IMHO a HUGE improvement) is the ability to set a bounty on persons who farm you, thereby identifying them as a target for larger more powerful players to pick off.

Anyway, try it out, you might like it. If you do add me to your alliance, my code is GVCRTY.

[General Questions and Answers] Berksgal:
I purchased a second-hand HTC Fuze that is running:

OS Version 5.2.23515 (23515.5.50)

Manilla Version 2.1.19202517

Rom Version 18 Jan 2010 WWE

Radio Version 1.14.2535

Protocol Version 52.64c.25.35H

I received a warning message on 04-01-10 that said, "This copy of Windows Mobile will expire in 30 days on 05-01-10." What do I do now?
[General Questions and Answers] Farmer Ted:
You need to flash a new ROM; I guess that the person who cooked that one didn't fix the time-bomb. Just go to the Raph rom development forum and pick whatever you want. You may want to get another 235xx build-I'm sure there are plenty. Do it now, before you lose all your data.

I guess it's possible that the timebomb is only for Office 2010, and not for the entire ROM. You could test this by first doing a full system backup and then advancing the date a month to see if the entire device croaks on you or just Office. The newer versions of Office 2010 in the 235xx branch aren't time-bombed. You'll need to upgrade to get a stable version, anyway.
[General Questions and Answers] Robertjm:
Probably the OS, not Office.

Unfortunately, I'm thinking that's referring to the O.S, not Office 2010. At least, the error I got on my ROM in the wee hours of this morning. (235xx-based ROM from WoZZer by way of Lioryte). What's funny is that it allowed me to hit "snooze" and the warning doesn't come up now when I did a soft reset.

Someone over at Modaco has suggested that there's a registry entry that can be modded to fix this problem, but as of this morning there were no suggestions on what to change the key(s) to.

Robert
[General Questions and Answers] Fallen Spartan:
Sounds like a timebomb as stated above. Just follow flashing process for the HTC fuze and flash another rom of your choice
[General Questions and Answers] Farmer Ted:
I doubt a registry tweak will fix this for you; there is a registry key that puts a watermark on the Today/Home/Start Menu screens, but removing it won't change the time-bomb, which is coded into shell.exe (maybe shell32.exe). The key is like HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\DeviceBeta, but if you don't see the watermark, then the date and 'Beta' have been removed.
[General Questions and Answers] mwalt2:
One thing you can try is to copy shell32.exe from your \windows directory to your PC. Then you can use reversemod to turn shell32.exe into a module. Then use the attached patched shell32.exe, navigate to S000 inside shell32.exe module (folder), and patch it. After that, use recmod to turn it back into a file. Copy to phone and use total commander/resco explorer to overwrite the shell32.exe in \windows. I recently did this same thing as I forgot to patch the timebomb and did not feel like re-cooking a rom at the time.
[General Questions and Answers] Robertjm:
Just to clarify, since we're talking a WM6.5 tweak, this should work on all phones, right?

Robert
[General Questions and Answers] Berksgal:
Thanks!

I wish I was savvy enough to try the quoted advice but I am a stupid noob and wouldn't know where to begin. I am going to have to reflash. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise since it will force me to learn to flash.

I got this Fuze to be a back-up. We have three others in our household running the stock rom.
[General Questions and Answers] rgb-rgb:
If you like the stock ROM, you can just download the stock ROM and Flash that also. You don't have to use a custom ROM unless that is what you want. Since the Fuze didn't come with 6.5, you would just a have a 6.1 stock ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] Berksgal:
April Fools Joke?

The latest information I have on this expiration message is that it is an April Fools Joke. :D It is a calendar alert and not an official Microsoft notification.

I am laughing outloud over this. I never would have thought this was a joke. Most of my laughter is in relief because I am seriously loving this energy rom!!!

After studying flashing all day in preparation of reflashing maybe I'll now have the confidence to flash our other Fuzes.

Thanks everyone for the help and advice.
[General Questions and Answers] Farmer Ted:
It may be a joke, but some of the guys over at fuzemobility got the message, and one of them advanced his date a month and the device crapped out, forcing a hard reset. (Hell, maybe that was a joke, too.) To be safe, I'd still recommend doing a full backup and bumping the date up to see if there are issues.
[General Questions and Answers] hidnface:
Can the patching process be done for 28xxx rom please or the patch is only for 23xxx?
[General Questions and Answers] Da_G:
That's more than likely NOT a joke, those builds are in fact timebombed (at that date) - so be prepared for the device to present you a message similar to "thank you for testing this version, it is now locked, please obtain a new version..."

If that occurs, you may still be able to sync up with the device to copy your files etc. off. But i would do that now before it happens if I were you :)
[General Questions and Answers] ThaProphet:
yeah, i have been out of internet for the past 5 months... mine gave this message, finally it expired, and now it wont sync... How do i flash a new rom without syncing my device
[General Questions and Answers] rgb-rgb:
Put the device in bootloader mode, connect to PC and flash away. Or, you can also flash from SD Card.
[General Questions and Answers] VuPhong187:
Help

Please tell me How to patch file shell32.exe in my rom.I copied shell32.exe to PC but i didnt know how to patch it.
[General Questions and Answers] Robertjm:
Truthfully, I never did see a way to successfully update the ROM to get rid of the time bomb. Plus, that was a CF03 ROM. There are a whole bunch of DC22 ROMs out there that are great, and as far as I know none of them have the time bomb intact.

You might want to just bite and flash to a new ROM.
