Quick question:

I'm having my Desire delivered end of next week and I was wondering if the LED also indicates when there's a new text message or email.
[Desire General] cez10:
yes it does
[Desire General] :
yup, happily flashing on a new text. not noticed how long it goes on for yet though.....
[Desire General] redrazr7791:
You can also download a text application from the market called...chompSMS - http://www.chompsms.com/

I had it on my MT3G and it allows you to change the LED notification light for text messages :cool:
[Desire General] Ghisy:
Quick question: is it possible to set the keyboard to one language and the T9 to another?

Like, I'm more comfortable typing with a QWERTY keyboard but sometimes, I would like to use the T9 in French, would that work? Can I also swap T9 languages on-the-fly? Thanks!
[Desire General] cez10:
course you can do it separately :)

[Desire General] DarkVasyaK:
guys, I still can't decide what to buy - X10 or HTC Desire... they say that HTC Desire has bad and silent sound quality with headphones, so it's the only thing I don't really like in Desire.. :(
[Desire General] C:Sharp!:
HTC phones never had bad sound quality over headphones, I don't think the Desire has bad sound quality.

X10:

+ larger screen

+ 8mp camera

- camera flash sucks (it's not a flash, just an always on light)

- no multitouch (hardware doesn't support it)

- Android 1.6 (old and slow)

- it's Sony Ericsson - updates will take forever to be released
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Yeah quality is definitely not BAD. Volume is bad but i'm going deaf anyways i swear ha ha.
[Desire General] DarkVasyaK:
Well, it's pretty noisy in Moscow Underground, so I am afraid not to hear any music... :(
[Desire General] villiankknd:
get the in-ear headphones then =)
[Desire General] supasye:
get one of them volume apps.
[Desire General] DarkVasyaK:
ok, maybe someone compared sound quality and volume with x1 and x10?
[Desire General] discohero11:
How/where do you get the langages. My phone came with only English (UK), English (IRE), French, Italian and Spanish. That covers 90% of my needs, but I also need Russian and Turkish on occasion.
[Desire General] oursoul:
What are you talking about, I have the 'graphite' Desire and it's clearly a silvery grey.
[Desire General] irkan:
does it look like anything like this "graphite" ??? because that is the one what HTC calls graphite not the silver one
[Desire General] madmossy:
Im interested to know how you got Voice to Text working as ive tried getting it to work with Handcent but just get an error message all the time.

Still good review and agree with most of it although battery life seems exceptional, im charging it daily with light/moderate use.
[Desire General] ephumuris:
There is a thread on here that explains it. Search!
[Desire General] ady_uaic:
i'm pleased of this device, but my only problem is that i cannot make igo to work on this device..i mean regarding the resolution
[Desire General] Geezay:
A few questions...

You are indeed lucky! So a few questions from a Winmob user about to cross the great divide and go Android (:rolleyes: still debating whether I should go HD2 instead?)

Voice to Text - This does not come installed by default - where did you get it for your Desire?

Storage Space - Is this not a big issue? How does it manage it's memory - emails on SD card? I understand apps cannot be installed on memory card...

Music Player - How good is this at handling lots of music, multiple playlists and such? Any lag if I have music playing in the background and am browsing the web? How good is it at multitasking?
[Desire General] Lord_Phoenix:
Install Locale, what's the problem? :-)
[Desire General] oursoul:
Yeah that's the one I have, it's not brown at all.
[Desire General] jannen:
In Gmail - how can I choose several emails in one go, to either delete them all or mark them all as read? Its bit frustrating to go throught the mails one by one... Any one knows how to do it?
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
You press on the tick on the left hand side of the message.
[Desire General] jpxdude:
You press the MENU button while in GMail, and you get the option to delete a bunch in one go. I had this problem when I first used the Desire lol.
[Desire General] jannen:
ok...

Thanks works great when I need to delete!

I still need to do it for those I want to 'mark as read'... there is no tick on the left!

Thanks
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Either you are missing the obvious or you have some sort of messed up version of Gmail :confused: there's always been a tick on the left to select Emails, right from Android 1.0

http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/gmail.jpg
[Desire General] jannen:
I was using a different widget that has all mails alwaus open on the scene. Switched it now to the other u referred to.. works ok. Thanks
[Desire General] daesimps:
Slightly off topic, but related to this one.

Does anyone know how to multiple select email that has sync'd from Exchange? The standard mail app doesn't seem to offer this, or I'm going blind :confused:

Thanks

Dae
[Desire General] jannen:
I actually decided to go back to the HTC mail widget as it gives notification for incoming Google mail... but its bit irritating as you cant choose several emails as in the above mentioned GMAIL app. Hope someone could figure it out!!
[Desire General] jannen:
This is similar I use at moment:

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2009/07/mailandmessaging_01.jpg
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
The Gmail app also gives notifications.
[Desire General] jannen:
Sorry I thought the GMAIL app theres no setup for automatic downloads?

Im newbie... explains everything. :)
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
There's no setup for it because it's push... probably much better for the battery than checking every x amount of minutes. You just get an email pushed to the phone when you get a new one.
[Desire General] jannen:
That sounds cool... but how can I disable that for night time? When I got the phone there was a setup somewhere (lost it now!) where you can choose peak and non peak time updates - wonder if that can be used for Gmail?

Thanks
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
just turn the internet off at night time.

add the widget to the home screen and switch it to off when you go to bed.

from the home screen, menu>add to home>widget>settings>mobile data
[Desire General] sh500:
So there's no way to select multiple/all emails for delete/'mark as read' using the HTC mail app?
[Desire General] Guitarfreak26:
I'd like to know this aswell, I havnt found a way either

[Desire General] rhedgehog:
no, i don't think the HTC Mail application does not give you an option to select many emails at once.
[Desire General] Guitarfreak26:
its silly really lol specially in the morning when I have around 12 rubbish emails from overnight

[Desire General] neuromacer:
You can select multiple emails for deletion in the exchange mail app. Just select menu>delete and you then get selection boxes next to all your messages :-)

those are my thoughts as well, not to discredit the dev who did it(if its real).

[General Topics] brummiesteven:
Hey,

I'm on a T-Mobile HTC Desire Plan. Included with it I have 3GB of internet which I hope soon will replace my actual fixed internet connection.

Instead of tethering all the time, is it possible to clone my simcard buy a USB modem and put it in there?

If so, how would I go about doing it? And I assume I wouldn't be able to use data on the phone when the PC is on?
[General Topics] Rudegar:
sure

most usb modems would be sim locked though
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jimvsmij:
I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to be ale to reprogram the physical windows button on the HD2 so that if you hold it down for 2+ seconds it will bring up a screen with a list of all the programs that are open so you can quickly switch from one open app to the next from where ever I am. Holding down the windows key can bring up the Task Manager or some other screen that shows everything that is open.

Is this possible?? Can anyone tell me how I can do this?

any suggestions?

[HD2 General] samsamuel:
known issue with the messaging app. Only real help is to reduce the ammount of mesages you store.

called the 'sleep of death' No cure for it once a rom is installed that i am aware, however many of the cooked roms have cured this issue. (I haven't seen it for about a month now)

Long thread about not waking up HERE
[HD2 General] flexte:
im using a hero and an hd2 both freeze up from time to time. if you use Google apps a lot stick with android. if your lazy stick with android. if you have time to always tweak your phone go with winmo. and despite what you read windows has way more apps than android the only problem is most of the apps are 3 or more years old and not being updated anymore so not too finger friendly.
[HD2 General] horrorview:
My HD2 (U.S. Tmobile - Stock Rom) runs like lightning, but not for lack of effort (well, not too much effort). I installed BsB Tweaks and Clean Ram, applied the performance tweaks in BsB (there's even one messaging that allows for "classic" style), and make sure to run Clean Ram (level two) once or twice a day. I also make liberal use of the task manager after opening any apps that fail to close with the press of an X (most?). Occasionally I'll notice a bit of slowdown, but Clean Ram will usually cure what ails it. Worst case scenario is I'll need to do a soft reset (which I always do after installing/uninstalling any apps), but, with BsB, it's a breeze as there's a command for it in the menu, so no need to wrangle with the battery cover and poke the red button!

As far as Android goes, I've no clue how it will run on HD2 level hardware, but, seeing as much of the issues with the HD2 seem to revolve around the Sense UI and HTC in particular, I would imagine some of the same issues will crop up. I'm coming over from Android (G1) to WinMo. My G1 had the same issues with messaging (HTC!!!) but, otherwise, didn't require much by way of maintenance. It was just slow and there was nothing I could do about it! :D

Play around with some of these tools on here. I'm a total WinMo noob, but I gotta say I'm loving the tweakability of the OS, and I'm especially enjoying learning about all of the cool stuff XDA has available for it.
[HD2 General] np231:
No Lag here

Hey guys, I'm not sure if you guys are managing your opened applications properly... HD2 will keep all the apps you opened in the background running unless you actually closed them... and for most of the apps the only way to close them is to go to taskmanager (start>taskmanager>endtask, see a quicker way to do this below)....

Solution: you need to close the applications that are open!!!!

some tweaks that make this easier

- BsB Tweaks (solves many problems)

- Dutty's Taskmanager (allows you to switch between currently opened apps and also allows you to close them, it puts an icon on the top right corner in the taskbar) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

I'm a hero200 user in China. And I choose Google Input method.

Today, i have tried many ROMs, including flipz's, damange control's and other guys' new ROMs, and got the same disppointed results:

None of those ROM can support Chinese SMS very well:(

Whenever i send a Chinese SMS, the receiver will get a totally blank SMS. Not a word could show on screen. Bu i still get a sucessfully-sent notification from China Telecom, the only one CDMA-2000 provider in China.

My friends have the same problem. We are all confused. since in our opinion, 2.1 should support Chinese sms WELL.

Could someone advise the reason for blank SMS?

Looking forwards to your response !!!:confused: Many Thanks.

I have the same problem just like you.

I have tried these ROMs:fresh2.0d,DamageControlv2.05.

None of those ROM can support Chinese SMS very well:(

Base on 2.1 should support Chinese sms WELL,I think

So I have reason for believe something is a bug:)

Does that mean Sprint did some changes and removed Chinese SMS supporing?

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrgjk:
hero of the Hong Kong and Taiwan version, so do not worry htc does not release the kernel without the support of the Chinese rom

I am now using their localization of 2.0c, Chinese SMS support good

Use google translation, do not know to understand it is not
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] childishben:
Im using the same ROM. But it dosen't include the option" share the interet" when connecting to a computer. I do need it. So i am looking for updated ROMs.

Since everybody said Flipz 2.0d is so closed to Sprint Official ROM, I am so worried accordingly^^
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliffzwj:
about the flipz rom 2.0d

yeah, you should notice when first boot in flipz 2.0d ,there is no location seletcted in step one, it has selected English by default, but in flipz 2.0c it is different . There is the same situation in the DC V2.05.

You can compare the zip files between flipz 2.0c and flipz 2.0d(or DC V2.05 ),

I think the problem is caused by the file of framework-res.apk (\system\framework\framework-res.apk). Maybe.

This file in flipz 2.0d and DC V2.05 is different from it in flipz 2.0c which has no problem in Chinese SMS.

My English is poor! sorry.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] childishben:
Then should i just replace this file with the one from older ROMs.

Dose it work?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliffzwj:
I have no idea yet, maybe it's not too simple by only changing this file.:)

-complete updates for polymod eclair 2.1g wifi and full market.

-Most apps are themed but still a work in progress.

-HelixLauncher included with stock Launcher

-lcd.density = 150 in build.prop I use this for 320x428 nbh. Adjust your build.prop accordingly for your resolution. 160 for 320x480 and 110 or 120 for 240x320. Make sure to use an eclair nbh from http://ponack.net/poly/BT_Update/index.php?folder=S2Fpc2VyX05CSHMvRWNsYWly/

Since we're on 2.1D now, what effect does the wifi and market part of the update have on the system, specifically will it 'downgrade' the new settings? Just for the sake of compatibility.
