[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
Id follow the advice and do a back up of your contacts and what not and just do a hard reset. Its amusing that you'd rather get a new device then take the 20 minutes it would take to hard reset the phone and resync everything back on and get it back to where you want it though :p

I use microsoft myphone to back up everything every night.. that said I use outlook to do all my calandar stuff which syncs to the phone so I have my contacts and mobile favorites etc back up to that too.

I suppose it depends what you use your phone for. Like I said.. calandar sycnronization is a must for me.... I would hate to have to type everything out on my phone when I can just change stuff on my computer. Pop it in the dock and away I go!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] GuestK00466:
It's easier than when I had a WinMo device....

It's easy - actually a lot easier than when I had a WinMo device. The new Android phone comes with HTC Sync which allows for syncing with my Outlook install and still allows me to choose what t do with conflicts.

In addition I sync automatically with my online calendar and contacts.

I've been very pleasantly surprised:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] GuestK00466:
interesting ideas ;)

Interesting ideas.....

I did try a hard reset in the end - it made no difference. In addition I was fed up with trying to update to WinMo 6.5 for better finger tip functionality.

Btw I tried that in the past and spent many long hours "convincing" Outlook not to duplicate appoints since it couldn't recognise existing items.

I tried the myphone service and it was quite good - took a bit of time (I couldn't connect to wifi remember ;)) but quite good.

I agree about the calendar sync that's important for me too...but so is the wifi access when I'm at home.

In the end the choice of wasting more time trying to fix the WinMo device and get it back to where I started was outweighed by the more flexible, finger friendly and app happy Android device.

And the Android device does a automatic backup to a local sd card by default for all my apps and their settings....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
I DON'T use outlook on my PC. All my stuff is on my phone. But I do use outlook to create new appointments. When I receive an email that involves a meeting, I typically paste in the details and then sync my phone, which receives the data.

It is also easier to manage contacts with outlook.

I also use Outlook as a backup to my contacts and calendars.

As to why? I prefer to have my information available regardless of network access. On-line means I have to have a data connection available. In my travels I have been to places that do not support T-Mobile or a roaming GSM connection. So my phone has it all... and of course it will sync with my laptop as well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
Well, I intend to have my TP2 for a long while, but after that I may have to decide between Android and WM7. Right now I'm not too big on WM7 because they won't allow customizations to the OS.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] da9th_one:
this dude obviously didn't take the time to find out the basics of his phone...myphone and a hard reset would have solved his problems in about 5 min...lol...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] GuestK00466:
What's the point?!?!

Thanks for your contribution - you must be a real blast at parties.:mad:

If you had nothing useful to add why bother adding anything at all...?:mad:

I tried hard reset and it made no difference - stated that above.

I tried myphone - interesting service but I found it a bit slow - also stated above.

If you're the best the WinMo crowd can offer I'm quite glad I've moved on to the Android patch.

To everyone else thanks for your suggestions.

The point is, don't come in here posting an android commercial...lol...your context clues are subpar at best...lol...

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] devil666uk:
Hi Guys,

I really need your help.

I went and got myself the new HTC Hero (G2) on t-mobile about 2 weeks ago - since i have got it i have been doing loads of research and stuff in to the device and started to have a play around with it last night.... the first thing i did was install VillainROM 5.2: RELEASE CANDIDATE - for GSM HERO (NOW WITH KITCHEN!) Image just incase summin bad happens (ironic really) and then took a nandroid backup .

I then went ahead and installed the MoDaCo ROM..... I then thought i'd try another ROM just to see how easy it is (or isn't) to load them..... but something has gone wrong somewhere.... after i loaded VillainROM custom ROM i cannot get passed the G2 Touch boot screen..... nothing seems to work.

I have wiped the device several times and formatted the sdcard several times and tried to restore from the nandroid backup but nothing has worked.

Any ideas guys?

Cheers,

Dev

Yeah... that sounds bricked. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] devil666uk:
ive send you an email
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
If you've JUST switched ROMs, there's nothing you could've done to brick your handset, UNLESS you've flashed a CDMA radio instead of a GSM radio in order to flash the 2.1 roms.

Otherwise, try to get into recovery mode while holding the HOME button and pressing POWER ON. Don't let go until you get into recovery mode.

Like I mentioned; unless you've flashed a CDMA radio, you should be able to enter recovery.

That's not the way it works.

lol man, do people really fall for that?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Why would you flash a CDMA radio on a GSM Hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] devil666uk:
don't know i think its nessesery ;/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] devil666uk:
Its like i sed it was my frist time so i do it... and i lose g2 ;/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Well then you are bricked.

There are ways to recovery from this but they are not widely documented and are not easy to do.

Never ever ever flash anything CDMA on a non CDMA device and visa versa.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] devil666uk:

i've been using my vodafone magic for a yr. recently, there's a problem where after i'm connected to the net, im able to log into all websites except for facebook. and after i off the connection and on it again, which is the 2nd time i on the wifi, im not able to log onto any websites at all. but im still able to use the market. and i have to restart my phone but the problem repeats. any1 able to help me? thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] digitaljeff:
hrmm.. weird.. mabey try clearing the browser cache under browser settings if you havent done so already.

what rom are you running? mabey try a factory reset if your on the original rom, or reflash your custom rom if your running one.

this is strange.. never heard of it before..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mclaren63:
i've tried clearing cache. doesnt work. mine is 32b, firmware 1.6. if i were to reset my rom, cos my phone is an unlocked one so i could use anywhere in the world, will it affected the phone causing it to be "locked" whre i cant use in other countries?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] digitaljeff:
nope your phone will stay unlocked, you can do factory reset
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mclaren63:
i've done a factory reset. but the only problem now is unable to log into facebook only. after i type in facebook.com, it leads me to touch.facebook.com: Invalid URL,

and a blank page with the header "Invalid URL", stating The requested URL "/?w2m", is invalid. Reference #9.75561b3a.1271225713.62e8838
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mclaren63:
whenever i log into google. it asks if i shld allow the access my location. shld i select OK, Never Allow or Cancel???
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] digitaljeff:
you can choose to allow or cancel, its just asking you so then it can do location based searches (i.e. pizza places near me)

as for facebook not working is weird... can you access touch.facebook.com via the facebook app? i have an exam today so after that i will look into this for you..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mclaren63:
i heard the facebook app is not tat good. so i didnt try. thanks. gd luck for ur exam!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jgcaap:
try to use dolphin browser to see if you can access facebook.

Try the facebook app, its very good :)
[HD2 General] Raadius:
In your opinion, which one do you think will come to the HD2 and if you had to choose, which one would you get?
[HD2 General] jubeh:
first will come people who should have gotten an iPhone asking when a dumbed down os will be available. giventhe choice, i stay with the ROM that came with the phone, that'swhy i got it in the first place
[HD2 General] vplaza96:
What I wish would come first is the time when people looking for Android on an HD2 realize that they should just suck it up and get an EVO. But, that's probably not going to happen any time soon.

Seriously, though, I think the WP7 port will come before Android.
[HD2 General] fhaines:
port

With the extraordinary chefs of XDA my bet would be on WM7 getting to the HD2 first.

My 2 sense....

fhaines :D
[HD2 General] speoples20:
Well seeing as a basically fully working WP7 was already ported and working on the HD2 I would say that one first. :D
[HD2 General] Raadius:
Who pissed in this guy coffee lol

Sprint? Like really, over T-mobile? LMAO! I still with the HD2.
[HD2 General] vplaza96:
Like really. Like, I switched to T-Mo from AT&T to get the HD2. <turn off 'like'>

Despite the much sparser network coverage, I sucked it up and made the switch because T-Mo had the phone I wanted. Don't be married to a carrier since they don't give a rat's you-know-what about you as a customer.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
Sprint's probably got better coverage than T-Mobile. I'm starting to regret switching over to T-Mobile from AT&T for the HD2. I should have spent the $800 to get the australian HD2 and stayed on AT&T. Now I've got a 2 year contract with T-Mobile.:mad:

Back on topic... I think WP7 will probably have a port first. I'd like to play around with both WP7 and Android on my phone, but I'll keep WM6.5 as my main OS. That's what I bought the phone for. It'll be awhile, if ever, until there's a stable port of either of them, anyways.
[HD2 General] vplaza96:
Sorry to hear that. Wondering why you didn't go with getting the HD2 from T-Mo without a contract. In the long run, it's cheaper and you aren't locked in. You didn't have to pay for the phone in full up front, either.

I did this, bought the phone for $449 and their Even More Plus with Text + Web. No 2 year contract and over the two years, I save almost $240 over getting the subsidized phone and a more expensive contract. If I had the need to switch to someone else, I'll sell the phone and move on.
[HD2 General] kemp509:
Are you people serious? You should NEVER switch to a cell phone company for a freaking phone. Look at all the stupid idiotic iphone customers who switched to at&t to get one. How many of them hate at&t because of it. I will be honest, I have sold for S,V,A and now T, and quite honestly it really irritates me to see people treat the industry as a product industry. IT IS A SERVICE INDUSTRY PEOPLE! The products are just a secondary thought, or at least they should be. At&t really ruined it with that craptasatic iphone. I'm not saying it is a horrible phone, but it is not, nor is any phone worth switching to a company that you don't get service with or who has horrible customer service. I would like to see android ported over from the new Sprint phone that is being released so I can duel boot and get the best of both worlds, but F#$@ Sprint. I wouldn't have that companies service again if they paid me to.
[HD2 General] tylawtheboss:
I'm guessing WP7 will be the 1st port. I'd love to have Android b4 WP7 hits. But, its just wishful thinking I guess.
[HD2 General] vplaza96:
Sure, it's a service industry. But one that happens to have products that use the service. Until all of them make the same devices available across the board, the reality is some will have devices that others don't. And Sprint may be horrible to you, but there are plenty of users who would swear by it and say the same about T-Mo, AT&T, etc.

BTW, it's just a phone.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
Sprint != GPRS
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
Nah, it's a product industry. If it were a service industry, everyone would be 4G and rising by now.

Yeah, it should be service-oriented, but everyone knows that these companies make money off their handsets, not their all-in-one plans.

Look at AT&T. They seriously offer a new product now (for only $99!) that connects to your home internet service and "boosts" the cellular signal.

Read that last one again. Yeah, they are offering you a new product because they know their signals suck indoors. And that product uses bandwith on your own internet connection. And they are charging you for it. So, AT&T knows they suck and instead of building their infrastructure, they are actually selling their "solution" to the very people who are already paying exhorbiant prices for crappy service.

Back on topic: WP7 will get ported first, but it won't be a full port. Android is coming, but it has a guaranteed 1 year wait and another 6 months for the bugs to be worked out.

Personally, I can't wait for Android. I ran it on my Kaiser, then my TouchPro2. It wasn't a full-time OS for me, but the app store was too juicy to pass up :D
[HD2 General] Raadius:
Sprint is terrible in my area compare to T-mobile, ontop of that, I've been with T-mobile for 7 years, I'm not gonna switch to a carrier for a phone. I have a jailbroken iPhone... on T-mobile :D.
[HD2 General] hawc1506:
I'm just waiting for the day when I can triple boot WM6.5, WP7, and Android. Maybe Quad boot an iPhone OS :D
[HD2 General] dornstar:
We can only dream.
[HD2 General] efjay:

Hey guys,

Because there seems to be no simple, functional and easy to use remote control for windows media center on windows mobile devices out there, I've decided to build my own. The software uses VMC Controller to connect to Windows Media Center, enabling basic control of the following functions, as well as displaying media info (see screenshots below):

-menu navigation

-play/pause, next/previous, skip/rewind

-volume control

-playback position seeking

-tv channel up/down

-entering text for searching through media lists​

As its still in the beta stage, there will be bugs, so i need testers to trial it on their handsets, providing feedback and suggestions. This latest release adds automatic listing of PCs which are running Windows Media Center with VMC Controller installed, as well as better QVGA support. Support for media extenders and disabling sleep mode are still in development, and may be included in a future release.

​

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

-Windows Vista or 7 - editions with Windows Media Center

-VMC Controller

-Wifi, Bluetooth/USB activesync connection

-Windows Mobile 6.x Pro, (may work on older versions)

-480x800 (WVGA), 240x320 (QVGA) screen resolution

-.NETCFv3.5 installed on handset​

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crabber:
Version .7b

Using Touch Pro2, this version is stable for me, been playing with it for awhile and has not had a lock up. Overall it is working well. I have two media center PC's so being able to access both is great. It took me awhile to figure out that I needed to uncheck automatically connect so I could choose which one to connect to.

I am still having trouble with my Wifi logging out or something, when I go to connections it shows a lock so I have to connect each time. I tried the Advanced Configuration Tool but that did not do it, I will try the Registry Settiing next.

Feature request: I would like to be able to start a Playlist, or start Play All Music, or Play Favorites from your menu. That way I do not need to have the TV on if I am just listening to music.

Great AP! The hard arrow keys, enter and backspace work fine.

This is definitely huge! I've been using all sorts of workarounds to control MCE, but it doesn't get much better than a MCE specific app. I can't wait to see this program out of beta. Also any chance to launch some sort of bluetooth compatibility (maybe over serial Edit: or TCIP over ActiveSync BT connection)? This way our phones can last the movie as well as the rest of the day.

Probably because using file sharing sites gives devs returns in the way of providing for some rewards in the form of premium accounts/ a nominal sum from the number of downloads per file. After all, devs would need to self support themselves at least initially, unless there are generous donations. :)
[Desire General] dwj:
I have done a quick search but not found anything useful about why the screen on the desire only rotates in one direction. I have come from WM phones which all rotate both ways as does the iphone so I hope its not just my handset. If anyone knows of an app for this that I have not found then Thanks for any advice.
[Desire General] lewyharvey:
Just a quick reply, mine only rotates anti-clockwise so It's not Just yours m8. Hopefully someone will point us in the right direction :)
[Desire General] gogol:
There is only 1 way to auto-rotate :)

This also fricked me in the past when I tried to auto-rotate and it did not.

Panic attack that I got faulty device.

It is not :)
[Desire General] dwj:
Thanks for that. Must be in the software then. I wouldn't have have thought it would be that difficult to implement. How annoying.
[Desire General] friedgoldmole:
Some custom roms let you autorotate 360 degrees, i.e. even upside down (The latest Cyanogen does that on my G1)

I am actually happy my desire doesn't auto rotate to the right, so I can lie on my side in bed and read the phone without it rotating. I imagine if/when this phone is rooted this is a feature that can be easily added to a custom rom.
[Desire General] dpk:
Didn't even realise it didn't turn the other way lol. I agree with the above poster though, my iPod Touch rotates both ways, and it's a real pain.

http://devicehelp.vodafone.co.uk/firmwaredevice.php?ModelID=424&e=0

Apparently it was released yesterday for Vodafone UK customers...

ROM:1.72.161.3

:eek: - Where's HTC's 1.72 release?
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
I was speaking to Voda 2nd line support about this a week and a bit ago.

Its basically the 1.66 rom with 2.08 radio bundled in. No changes to ROM as far as i know just new radio.

EDIT: oh yeah i forgot... its also supposed to fix the issue with downloading pictures that Vodafone HD2 customers might have experienced. As we all know every major network is now compressing images to make their 3G/HSPA networks faster. With Vodafone what is supposed to happen is you will see the compressed image when browsing but when you download that picture it is uncompressed.... this functionality waasnt working previously. This ROM is supposed to fix it.
[HD2 General] Starfury:
Well the radio in it is the 2.07.51.22
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
lol... maybe the 2.08 radio didnt pass his test then.

The guy i was speaking to was the guy testing the ROM... i got talking to him just a few minutes before he recieved the ROM from HTC and the above is what he told me.

Ive just emailed him to confirm whether the picture downloading issue is resolved so when he replies i will ask him why the 2.08 radio isnt in there.
