I ordered phone knowing of 2.1 leak. So as soon as I received it I did the leak up grade not knowing about root.

I really like the flexibility it has to offer.

Many thanks to the many keeping the phone alive and hope you can help the many like me go from nonrooted 2.1 to root!

I've been looking around for a good insurance deal for my desire. I want to pay for it annually, not monthly I found this deal with insureandgo it's £26.01 for the year it covers me for:

accidental damage, theft and Accessory cover of £50 which is all i need.

i wanted to know if this deal is any good and has anyone found a better deal ?

Thanks

Ive been looking around for insurance too and that seems better than anyhting I can find. Although I'd go for the £42 version just to be safe
[Desire General] The Equalizer:
What about ringing up your home insurance & asking them how much to have it added?
[Desire General] Matt2887:
That is the insurance I purchased, went for the platinum package at about 40 quid as it seems to be the best price and you get all the cover you need.
[Desire General] jannen:
Im covered by my home insurance, but my bank account also has mobile phone (inc Iphones, PDAs) cover with no excess.
[Desire General] gleepface:
I use my bank phone insurance and have a third party insurance for airtime abuse which costs me £2.49 a month, because I'm a sucker for believing I need things like that.

My bank insurance is excellent though, and considering it's included in what I pay for all my other extras with my account, a very good option.

I like the music player in Sense and I also quite like the look of S2P (although the lack of any treble and bass controls means it's a non-starter for me) but I'm looking for a decent alternative with a good finger-friendly UI. I have tried numerous other media players but hardly any have a suitable interface for non-stylus use. In these I include PocketPlayer and PocketTunes. I tried Nitrogen but for some reason the slightest adjustment on any of the frequencies results in distortion.

Any suggestions?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Beefheart:
I'm just up to my neck in suggestions here! :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Anubis78:
I use on an everyday basis Pocketplayer from conduit. It's very good and full of options: podcast, equalizer, internet radio, media guide. It's not free but it worth it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Beefheart:
I tried that out but it's clearly designed for a stylus. It also didn't look right on 6.5.x and the bottom of it's window sat over the bottom toolbar. I was thinking more along the lines of a music application specific to the HD2 or suitable for WVGA capacitive devices at least.

I was looking at Nemo player on the Android. Something like that would be ideal.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BlazinAsian:
I'd also like a good music player that has an ecxellent equalizer because the audiobooster keeps being buggy :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Susasama:
I remember seeing something somewhere about SRS WOW or something like that, i don't know if that's just an equalizer or a media player, some clarification would be nice.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ClownShoes:
I would strongly recommend SRS WOW as an alternative to Audiobooster. This would allow you to use S2P (or any other stand alone player) and maintain high end equalization.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Beefheart:
I don't rate SRS WOW at all, I have used it previously on the HD2 and other Windows Mobile devices in times past. I'm quite an audiophile and, despite tinkering with it for hours, I couldn't get a sound I liked with it, eventually getting one frequency sounding good resulted in other frequencies becoming overpowering or near silent. I also think the 3d effect is ridiculous.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] arturobandini:
Without any hesitation... Kinoma Play

It's really the best music player. Sound quality is perfect and the interface is absolutely amazing.

How is it's equalizer?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Beefheart:
I tried Kinoma Player, it seems to be a jack of all trades master of none to me. It also looks a bit crap and blurry on the HD2 as they have no WVGA skins for it. Not overly impressed and not what I'm looking for.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] arturobandini:
This has no sense. You are saying that you are looking for a decent alternative with a good finger-friendly UI.

Obviously Kinoma has probably the most finger-friendly interface of all. You may not love it for some reasons but I'm pretty sure it's better than S2P for instance.

Very difficult to understand what you are looking for exactly. Finally I don(t understand the purpose of your thread. Just test all the audio players available on the market and chose the one you like. It does not deserve a specific thread. That's all mate.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] TommyRose:
Hi there really interesting post!

I need a good player too, cause 70% of time spent with Hd2 is for play music

but it's difficult to find a serious and stable solution, they seem all to young software..

htc audiomanger

+beautiful and default

-no alphabet scrolling bar,difficult to import playlist without wmp11-12, it search for all mp3 on storage, ringtones too (solved with reg twaek)

Pocket Player

+the best in general,scrolling ,playlist,nowplaying,albumart.. (haven't tryed with 10 gigas jet)

-some bug-now fixed skin on 6.5.x-, i can't open my mediamonkey playlist after sync!!i'm trying to solve but.. damn. and waiting 4.2!

S2p

+overall, best free alternative, good extended options with S2U2, it read mediamonkey imported playlist with no problem

-false now playing list,too laggy interface on hd2..

Nitrogen

+so nice..

-but so young too , no playlist, buggy excution ...

Kinoma Play

+ it seems to have a really good a stable base system

- but music it's only part of too many services, already installed on hd2..

This is my experience, there are also other player but i think the upper are the best. The problem is that i still not have a definitive solution for mp3...

An mp3player must be able to import playlists from pc for me, i have too music and it's unusefull play all the imported tracks toghether..or recreating them manually on device..

Solving sync for PP playlist could be for me the perfect solution, but i 'm not finding ways ..I there someone that can help?

When i sync playlists with media monkey, it transfer playlists written with wrong addresses info. The player read welll all titles but when it try to open a track, PP search for playlist addresses with 'Storage Card\artist\album....' while the imported playlists from MM have just 'artist\album....' written in . Anyone experieced and solve that?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Beefheart:
The purpose of the thread is obvious but I will point it out anyway for your benefit. I was hoping people would make suggestions regarding music players I hadn't used, for example you suggested Kinoma and I tried it out and found it to be wanting. Just because my opinion of it differs from yours it doesn't equate to it making no sense. You said it's interface was 'absolutely amazing'. I disagree with that.

Your comment on this not deserving a specific thread is somewhat unusual given the type of forum this is. Perhaps you would like to specify exactly what subjects deserve to have threads and what doesn't? I'd say this thread is perfectly valid for the reasons pointed out above.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Beefheart:
Good post, thanks. I will have to find the reg tweak to stop the Sense music player picking up ringtones.

Bookmarks wanted

What surprises me is that there seems to be no need for Bookmark or a similar function. I know that Pocketplayer has this option. For me that is certainly a must. As for the quality of playback whatever the player it will never be like a stereo set.

The most ideal for me is a mediaplayer what can play all the formats, music, video, photo and E-books. is completely configurable. Has an excellent equalizer and Bookmark function. But like all good things in life, they are not within reach

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] petvas:
I find Pocket Player to be the best music player for WM. It was certainly not developed with finger friendliness in mind, but it can certainly be very easily used on the HD2. It has great features and despite some bugs (related to WM 6.5) it is certainly better than S2P (which I believe to be just an iPhone copy - I don't like that).

Alright guys, I kinda feel like this maybe development but un-fortunately, I have limited computer skills and ZERO coding skills so this is more of a request then "development"....hopefully this will give a dev. a great idea to develop for us all!!!

Ok, I received my car-dock and love it!! My question/request is: Would it be possible to route the Navigation audio through the car-dock? While still using line-out for audio? I mean, I understand the line-out would still get "muted" or whatever in the process of relaying the navigation direction.

Basically, I listen to my music pretty loud and when I then get Navigation direction her voice is EXTREMELY loud through the car stereo. If theres an option to route the phone-calls thru BlueTooth (Car-dock) and Music/Media thru line-out (Car Stereo) which there currently is this option, it's seems to me *someone* could change the Navigation sound to also route thru the BlueTooth....

Hope everyone understands what I am asking here.....Any thoughts? Possible?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] THATTON:
My navigation routes the sound through the bluetooth in my car already? I have a Pioneer deck with Bluetooth capabilities, no dock and all of my navigation instructions are coming through my speakers .

Hello chaps

I've just got an HTC Legend and love pretty well everything about it ...except...

The SMS side of things is awful - you access it via the "Messages" widget, not sure if this is a native Android app or an HTC add-on but it's rubbish. All you get is a list of messages you've sent and received with no indication as to which is which and messages from the same person are bunched together into one on the list - it's just awful and there seems to be no way to change it so just an "inbox" view or whatever.

In addition, when you compose an SMSthe text entry box statys tiny and docks at the bottom so yuo get the recipient at the top and the message at the bottom with a big space in between unless the message is really long.

I'm amazed how bad it all is. Is there a good market replacement for it?

Cheers

Check out Handcent. Not only does it make the list more similar to an iPhone-esque style, but adds a bunch of extra features like colored trackball alert if you're rooted, or a Quick Reply function, where you can quickly send a message to anyone using your hardware buttons.

Yeah, It should just be a matter of going into the stock Messaging app. On the main screen that shows all your threads, press menu, go to Options/Settings (whichever one is there, cba to look at my phone at the moment) then just disable notifications. That means it should never bother you again (unless you want it to - in which case just re-enable that)

This phone is too fragile. I mean after 3 or 4 drops on concrete sidewalks, a number of dents and dings in the case, it should be able to withstand a 5 foot drop onto asphalt right? :p

cracked a semi-circle chunk on the edge of the screen about a centimeter in diameter.

no noticeable effect to touch sensitivity - i guess this probably voids the warranty and might as well root it now lol.

several 5 foot drops on asphault? :eek: [joke] Thats fitting because it sounds simular to you're an ass and its your fault, :D jk. [/joke]

Seriously though, the n1 should not be about to handle that kind of drop. Yes the outside is metal, but its very thin and therefore a shock wave will pass right through it. If it is incased in some type of rubbery material which would absorb the shock it would of been fine, but it doesnt have that.

Thats why I bought a thin rubbery silicon case. When it falls the case absords the whole impact shock with little energy being transfered to the actual n1. Hard cases add more thickness to the phone and therefore more material can help absorb the shock, but something that deforms a little is the only real way to protect something from a hard fall. Even with a hard case, a 10+ drop on concrete and you can most likely say good bye to your n1. With a silicon case there is a good chance it will be perfectly fine.

I can get into really techinal terms, but I'm trying not to do that because I understand not everyone is a material science engineer.

Seriously? don't get a phone this expensive if you still drop your phone.i haven't dropped a phone since I had a razor. As I said, don't buy a $600 that has a glass screen and drop it. Take anything made of glass and drop it 5 feet and it will shatter .

I disagree with your sentiments. Cellphones are by nature prone to droppage, in and out of hands and pockets many times a day. It is unreasonable to expect the average user not to end up dropping it at some point. I say to phone manufacturers don't design and sell a $600 phone with a glass screen if you can't engineer it to withstand an occasional fall, since many of us mere mortals are likely to eventually drop it.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Very very true.. cellphones are simply prone to be dropped.
[Nexus One General] krumb:
3 or 4 drops on concrete??? note to jkhouw...hide your nexus one when hitting the bottle!
[Nexus One General] krohnjw:
See the drop test videos - it is designed to stand some drops.

To expect a glass screen to successfully withstand multiple 5+ ft drops onto a very hard surface (concrete) is a bit extreme. Glass is still glass and will break if there's enough of an impulse imparted on it.

From the testing videos they demoed they appear to have tested common drops, ~3 ft or more from the appearance, and it looks fairly robust at that point.

I don't think it's a common scenario to take it out of your pocket and have it fall 5 ft unless we have a high percentage of giants here at XDA who have big, clumsy hands.

While it is unreasonable to expect someone to never drop their phone, from what Google has shown, the testing for structural integrity appears to have been done for "common" falls (slips coming out of pocket, knocked off of table/counter, etc.) based on the fall height. Falls of 5+ feet are likely pretty uncommon for most users and I think you'd be hard pressed to come up with a slim solution (housing material/thickness) for a glass screen that would consistently withstand falls from that height. Unless.....
[Nexus One General] jz9833:
they are designed to be dropped some, but you also have some things you can't design for.

For example we were just talking about a 5 ft drop on asphault. If I design it to be dropped from there, what angle contact angle am i talking about? Obviously a fall straight on its back will be different than a corner hit. Does manufactoring it to survive both drop types interfer with eachother? How much more does it cost? How much size will it add? Maybe I could use better materials, but then that also comes with added cost.

Also, it doesnt matter how many safety meetings you have, people will find a way to mess up there n1's in some new way.

So alot of this comes down to cost, and there becomes a point where you say the end user should have some responsibility.
[Nexus One General] seanhassars:
so wait...you guys are telling me that dropping glass on a hard surface like concrete from 5 or more feet off the ground isn't a good idea? who are the ad wizards that came up with this one?!
[Nexus One General] frandavid100:
The phone is sturdy indeed! I have dropped it several times by now (more than I have dropped any other phone, anyway) and it has always withstood the falls like a champ. Last week I dropped it on asphalt from 5 / 6 feet: time slowed down as I watched it fall and bounce, both the battery cover and the battery itself jumping out while the phone finally slid face down on the concrete for 2 or three feet. I don't know how long I stood there staring at it before picking it up, all while thinking what a good phone it had been.

You know what? The screen was perfectly fine, and only the soft part at the bottom had a very obvious dent where it had first hit the floor. The phone might not be invulnerable, but it's definitely tougher than it looks.

Not everything's good though. From my experience this phone is very prone to falling. It's so thin and wide that gripping it firmly is difficult, and can you guys explain why it doesn't have a hole or something to fix a lace on it or something?

Seriously, I feel that's the one thing the N1 is sorely lacking.
[Nexus One General] jz9833:
the mock n2 pictures have one, but I for one think its FUGLY. Seriously, just get a thin silicon rubbary case and the grip issue is gone.
[Nexus One General] frandavid100:
True. I don't really like cases though, someone once said they're like making Angelina Jolie wear a fat suit and I agree. Might buy one anyway in order to stop dropping the goddamn phone.

By the way, do you guys know if it's possible to replace the soft bottom part? It hurts to look at it so dented and damaged.
[Nexus One General] shonanthebarbarianTP2:
That is rediculous.i have yet to drop my N1, G1, MT3g, blackberry 9700,or my HD2.It's about making a conscious thought of "I'm taking this $600 phone out if my pocket. I should be careful".
