I find the phone to be a buggy mess, wait for an update from HTC/Tmo hopefully or flash it.
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
You'll be waiting a loooong time. The best option (for the adventurous) is to simply flash one of the TMOUS compatible ROMs found here.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
the clock flip cab will work.the only thing that will work on all other hd2s but not on yours is the ..51.. radios. in all other respects the phones are identical.
[HD2 General] SEscobedo:
I know what you mean man. Previously to this phone, I had a iPhone 3GS 32gb which I traded for this phone. I had a lot of the same gripes as you have now. 95% of them probably can be fixed by HSPL'ing your phone and then flashing a different ROM on it. I am on the ATT network and so a lot of the apps that were on the phone I didn't need or use as they were meant for TMO users. So I flashed my HD2 with Kumar's lite rom. Not only did it stop a lot of the bugginess (stalling, freezing, random closing of apps, etc) but it made it a lot quicker. Might want to try that and see if it helps. The clock flipping was annoying as all hell so I just installed the cab to disable it.

I tell my friends who know me pretty well as being an iPhone addict that if the iPhone and HD2 were weapons, the iPhone would be a surgical knife. From the sleek look of the case to the smooth transitioning of the OS makes using it so easy. It doesn't have a lot of speed but with the thousands of apps and fluid movement within the phone, it feels great.

Now the HD2 on the other hand is like a broadsword. You have to put a lot of effort into getting it to do what you want it to do. With the 1ghz processor and 576mb of ram, it can do maul down anything you need it to. The HD2 you can't just pick it up and expect to use it to its fullest potential. It takes a lot of patience to learn your way around the phone. With the iPhone, you jailbreak it and modify it to be more aesthetically pleasing to your eyes and to your fingers. If you have ever just cruised cydia, you will notice not much is there in the way of performance modifications. Mainly just apps and packages that let you change how the phone moves and works for you. The roms, cabs, and registry tweaks you perform on the HD2 are more performance based I have noticed. Yes there are some cabs to help you disable or enable things but right off the bat it seems like you have to modify it. I attribute this to Microsoft's laziness in creating an OS that can perform as well as not crash at the same time.

But while you are waiting for that "oh so needed" port of Android, try kumar's rom. It might just be what you need.

I knew what I was getting into as far as WinMo is concerned... I've been reading the forums on many different sites getting ready for this.

the one thing I am not finding: absolute n00b, specific, clear, step by step instructions on how to do the hspl. I've jailbroken and rooted before- I was as nervous then and just don't wanna mess up. (I have to run anything like that with XP through Parallels on my mac, and I don't do it enough to know wtf I'm doing)
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
As I recall, you cannot flash via Parallels. You can with Bootcamp. I do it all the time on my MacBook Pro via XP sp3.

As a Mac user, I find that Missing Sync is great, but the iTunes integration is not the best. To transfer music, I use doubleTwist. I disabled the music sync plugins in Missing Sync, as I found that they did not do as good a job as doubleTwist. The two together has been fantastic.
[HD2 General] digitallysick:
I had the same opera problem here is how I fixed it

Download this on your windows computer

http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/

Do this

HKLM/controlpanel/pen and change the value of 'Hide' from 1 to 0.

Soft reset, then go settings tab - menu - all settings - system and you should see screen settings icon.

Then go to screen settings and enable "clear type"

that makes the fonts look better

now do this

Enable Clickable Links in Zoomed Out Opera

This reg edit allows you to tap on a link without the need for zooming in first.

HKLM/Software/Opera/Info/az_overview_threshold

Change value from 64 to 32

thats why you can't click the links, it wants you to be zoomed all the way in, the above fix, fixes that problem easily

Also search for the cab, duttys task manager, its excellent
[HD2 General] ferrisnox:
Where is the clear type setting, is that in Opera... just for 9.7? I'm running 10 anything comparable there?
[HD2 General] mystik610:
I haven't had any of these problems. Most of the problems you're having are attributable to the stock ROM. Once I flashed the rom, things started running perfectly. Its a pretty easy process...just as easy as updating the firmware on the iPhone, and it only takes about 10 minutes. Its A LOT easier than jailbreaking an iPhone.

Other than that, most of the problems I've encountered were fixed with cabs (even prior to flashing the ROM). Hopefully people will chime in on other fixes, but if not, search is your friend.
[HD2 General] mystik610:
An analogy that I used in another topic is that if the iPhone and HD2 were cars, the iPhone would be the automatic, the HD2 would be a stick-shift.

The 'automatic-iPhone' appeals to a wide variety of people because its a simple, intuitive device. Most people can pick it up, and figure it out right away. If people find something is lacking on the iPhone, they can easily access the App store and hopefully find what they need. Having gone from a windows mobile phone to the iphone and back to a windows mobile phone, I realized eventually that a lot of the Apps on the iPhone are adding functions that are innate in windows mobile...and while the iPhone Apps are prettier, they usually don't have as much function/utility as they would on WM.

The 'manual-transmission HD2' appeals to power-users who want to get a lot of use from there phone, are somewhat technical, and those who realize that by tinkering a little bit, they can customize the experience completely to suit their needs. Windows Mobile is more cumbersome to use initially, and isn't as intuitive, but once you get the hang of it and learn how to manage your resources, you can capitalize on how much more quickly you can jump between tasks, and flat out how much you can do on this device. Sense does a great job of streamlining your core functions (phone, text, email, twitter etc) and I really like how you can check these things very quickly. Its also nice to know that if I ever need to 'pop the hood' and tweak some things underneath it, I can.

The point is, it may not work perfectly for you initially, but you can tweak it to work perfectly. With the iPhone, a lot of functions are kinda half-assed, and I missed the 'mobile PC' functionality of the HD2....my main gripe with the old Wm phones is that the hardware couldn't keep up with the software...not an issue with the HD2.
[HD2 General] solace.discord:
if this were a BlackBerry, I wouldn't have started this thread... but it's a WM device, I've only had a Treo before, and didn't really get into changing anything about it, and then gave it up for BlackBerry, which I did tweak, and the MT3G, which I did root and tweak and ROMs and everything.. I never did anything but jailbreak and unlock the iphone so I could use it on TMobile

I don't know how to do the hspl or change registries... install a .cab? no problem.. but I can't find clear instructions on how to do the hspl and the install a new ROM.

and- I'm on a mac... running XP through Parallels for all purposes.

if someone can point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
You won't be able to safely/effectively flash ROMs via Parallels. I would not do it, because there are reports of bricked HD2s via VM flashes. It's safer to use Bootcamp. That's what I do. I have an XPsp3 partition with all my phone stuff there (Radios, ROMs, MTTY, HSPL, etc.) and it works like a charm.
[HD2 General] solace.discord:

[HD2 General] TIGGAH:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] antz88c:
i saw this and it's only for Sprint CDMA. Is there a way to cook a rom from this 2.1 leak to work on GSM Hero.

I know villainrom 5.2 is from 2.1 leak but some users want a clean rom. Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KAwAtA:
I don't understand what you're asking for because isn't VillainRom this leak and cooked for the gsm? I installed it on mine and it feels pretty clean..?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] antz88c:
sorry about that.

What I meant about 'clean' is no changes to the ROMs except they are pre-rooted only.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mardurhack:
Why don't you read the whole Villain introduction before asking?? Villain 5.2 IS A CLEAN CDMA port...It hasn't got other features but app2sd (just a shell-script wich can be removed via adb), live wallpapers and 3d gallery (which can be deleted too). Other things are just apps installed (busybox, tether) that you can easily remove by uninstalling them...The only SYSTEM stuff changed is the dialer to be compatible with non-uk numbers (and you MUST use it if you're on a GSM Hero I believe... -_-'' ). That's all! By the way some developers are going to release a 2.1 kitchen where you can disable this kind of "addons" BEFORE flashing the rom...But are you sure you don't want them on your SMARTphone?? :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] KAwAtA:
^ What he said. It's pretty darn clean already and its got a lot of things fixed and working nicely for us GSM users, also it is easy to remove things yourself.

[Touch Pro CDMA] btngchck:
What I am looking for is where the high score data is located on my TP. The games I am talking about is Beweled and Astraware casino. I am learning how to back up a lot of data using Sashimi. But my problem is finding what information to back up when it comes to the games.

With Sashimi it is a breeze to reload everything I like the way I like it after flashing. The only thing I have had an issue with is the high scores on the games. I am not familiar with registry entries, I don't have a clue. Although I did a compare before and after (using windiff) of my registry with the only change I did was play bejeweled for the after. There are changes to the hex data (don't know wth to call it) in the registry. Any thoughts on whether this info is how it knows the scores data?

I really have no clue what I am talking about but with a little guidance I am sure I can figure this out. Another thought was to try to uninstall the program and copy my old information to the registry after installing the program again. I just don't want to jack things up and am a bit fearful of messing with the registry.

Can anyone of you give me some insight? :confused:

Thanks in advance.

[XPERIA X10 General] amir84:
is there any REMOTE CONTROL (for the EARPHONES) to the X10? for PLAY/PAUSE and changing songs with no need to take out the phone out of my pocket every time i want to change sond or PLAY/PAUSE the music??

i'm talking about remote control as the HD2/iphone 3GS comes with

thanks !
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
Yes and no. The yes part is that my X10 came with the MW600 bluetooth-headset which allows for play/pause, volume and changing songs. And the no part is that I'm not aware of any non-bluetooth accessories that allows for the same thing.
[XPERIA X10 General] murmeljenta:
Semi-hijacking...

Has anyone been able to control MediaScape using the physical buttons on the phone (while screen lock is on)?

On my previous SE phone, I could hold the volume buttons to swap to next/previous song. That meant I could change songs just by putting my hand in my pocket. Currently, I need to pull the phone out, disable screen lock, enter MediaScape, change song... Not nice during training or similar.

It should not be impossible to get the same feature on X10, or what?
[XPERIA X10 General] wertzius:
The feature with longholding the volume buttons is only available in the "normal" Sonyericsson, not on mobilephone swith Android or WM. Maybe someone can prog something, or look in other forums, maybe this application exists... The Xperia can only handle Bluetooth Headsets with controls, not wired.
[XPERIA X10 General] MightyMuna:
only the volume keys work when the screen lock is on.
[XPERIA X10 General] weasley:

**My X10 is 3UK Branded is that the cause of it?

Any Suggestion?
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
It works with Spotify but doesn't work with Mediascape. Real strange though, since the X10 is bundled with the MW600 here in Sweden.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] schizopunk:
Okay, here's my situation. I have a ton of numbers in my address book (well, Google Contacts), and I use this app called Contacts Clean-up to make sure all the formatting of all my numbers are the same and everything. Now the problem is with this application it forces you to format your numbers so they have a "+" before your number (ex. +1-555-555-5555).

I went to use Darch's Legend ROM and for some reason that format of a number isnt supported, it just wont let me call the people. Being that I have hundreds of contacts between Google Contacts & Facebook I need to have my numbers formatted WITHOUT the "+".

Long story short, the app is open source & I was wondering if someone could modify it for me to make an option to not have the "+" in the number. I know someone's gotta know how to do it...

Here's the link... http://code.google.com/p/android-contacts-cleanup/

Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] justinisyoung:
just take a look at the source yourself. it's pretty clearly outlined when you find

svn/trunk/res/values/strings.xml

i'd do it for you right now... but i can't check out a copy of the source since i don't use linux :P

but if you look in the strings.xml, you'll see the '+' sign that you want to get rid of clearly. if you're running linux, simply modify the file to delete the + sign and package it back to the apk, i'm assuming. then it should work fine :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] schizopunk:
It just sucks that I'm on my mom's Mac right now.

Any ideas how to do it from here? Or anyone with Linux willing to help a fellow Android guy out?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] justinisyoung:
i'm not sure if it works on a mac, but give it a try anyways!

just go to terminal and enter

svn checkout http://android-contacts-cleanup.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ android-contacts-cleanup-read-only
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bbene:
To do it on a mac you would first have to install macports, and then run:

sudo port install subversion

After that you would then be able to check out the source.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] schizopunk:
Damn I'm on my mom's computer right now... I can't really install anything.

Ughh. Could anyone possibly try to do this for me if its not too much trouble?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bbene:
I'll see what I can do. I might have some time to do it tonight yet.

Edit:

I have made the edits that are needed. Also, it required a bit more than just editing the strings file. This is obvious to anyone who has experience with Android development since the strings are only for display. As far as getting it to do what you wanted, that was just a few quick edits to the Formatter class.

PM me for a link to the .apk to install it. (I'm a new user, so I can't post links.) Just download it OTA. You will need to enable unknown sources in order to install it.
