Haha! Mine arrived this morning while i was at work so took the opportunity to pick it up from home on my lunch break!!

right here we go.

1) bollocks....kinda. It will sync those auto contacts, but you can hide them.

In people, press menu, view.

untick the box next to 'show google auto contacts'

2) bollocks. When you select to import from the SD card, it asks you which account you want to create the contacts under. just select google.

3) bollocks. See answer 2. Export contacts from phone to SD card. Delete copies on phone, import from sd card to google account.

4) i'm still looking at this but i suspect it is linked to facebook. I think it only downloads from facebook and so that overwrites what you put in. if you log out of facebook for HHTC Sense, i suspect the value you put in would appear.

5) this appears to be correct.

However, i happen to know from sources that they didn't have any desire handsets until recently, so don't be too hard on them.
[Desire General] :
thought, probably just removing the link from a contact to facebook might prove the birthday thing....trying now:-)
[Desire General] :
Yup, that seems to be it.

When a contact is linked to facebook, you'll see a facebook logo next to their birthday in the contact view (assuming they have put their birthday in)when you actually edit that contact, no birthday is actually saved in the contact.

So it seems that data synced from facebook takes precedence over the local data.

I'll give them bollocks on number 4 because nothing is being deleted at all, and the calendar data seems to be getting synched to google, it's just that the phone will display the facebook data and not the local data.

so that appears to be 4 bollocks out of 5.

:D:D:D
[Desire General] mhewitson:
And a MAJOR annoyance for me is people tthat have their phone numbers on facebook as just 44xxxxxxx rather than +44xxxxxx or 07xxxxxx meaning you cant send them a text as it fails without the initial + and you can't edit the number as its pulled from facebook.

I have had to unlink several contacts for this reason to get my correct 'local' data to be used insted.
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
lol Thanks for that. Firstly, glad you finally have you Desire! The SD card route will have to do for the contacts.

As for the facebook thing, well, I haven't signed in to any facebook account yet as experience has told me to get one set of contacts in working order, and back it up before trying to sync it with another account/system. And still, when I update a birthday on my phone, it won't sync to my Google account. It's not a major thing but it is a minor irritation.

I just did another test of inputting a new test contact into my phone with a birthday (01/02/70) and the contact was deleted on syncing with my Google account. Go figure.

Oh, and it wasn't all bolx! They were half right that you can't directly save a vCard to your Google account. At least give them a one testicle redemption!
[Desire General] TulpiX:
ok just to get this straight. it deletes contacts if they have calendar info in them ?

so how do you add new contacts ? first without calendar info, then sync and then go to your google account and change calendar ?

thats just strange and bad

does this only occur for contacts with calendar info in them , or are there other places where this occurs ?
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
For me, yes. Try it, let me know what happens when you sync up a new contact with a birthday from your phone to your Google account. Or change the birthday of a contact already synced on your phone and let us know if it changes it in your Google account.
[Desire General] :
just tried it on mine, on a google contact that was not linked to a facebook account.

The phone shows the birthday no problem, but it does not seem to have synched that up to the google account, even after forcing the sync two or three times....

very odd.
[Desire General] Philko:
I'm experiencing the same exact problem, new contacts simple get deleted.
[HD2 General] mark in essex:
Hi there,

I have an HD2 on O2 with the O2 1.43.206.4 ROM and was debating updating it to the newer ROM off the HTC site.

I was wondering the main benefits + also if Microsoft app place will download my apps again for free if it wipes them?

Also does it invalidate O2's warranty, or do you just go to HTC directly if you have a problem?

Cheers, Mark.
[HD2 General] djingonthenet:
Marketplace purchase history stays on the website so you should be alright. I've installed htc's 1.66 rom from t-mobiles stock rom, then had to reinstall the stock rom back the other day as my phone wouldn't switch back on. Am now back on 1.66 again, so going back and forth is no problem.
[HD2 General] pettekneuz:
yup your purchases are binded to your account. Btw i guess the reason you should upgrade is: almost everyone on XDA has 1.66, its more stable and it will be easier for other people to help you as they have 1.66 aswell (if they're using stock of course)
[HD2 General] qazax:
pretty sure it voids the o2 warranty as it isnt off the o2 site. i would check with someone in store before doing so.
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
If it's O2 locked you can't even use the one off the HTC site as it's vendor locked

hey dear community

i am desperately looking for a cab that allows me to do the following:

in windows mobile 6.1, when pressing the start button, it brings up the old ugly start menu. however, dutty cooked a rom where pressing the start buttion gave u a programm list, like the one in manila 2.1.

the orginial manila programs tab has, so it seems, been taken out of the manila and glued at the start menu button.

anybody know if this can be done using a cab or somethink?

that would be great! many thanks in advance
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cichy3000:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Krisiacik:
HTC updated their website in the last year, went from black to white.

Unfortunately, they incorporated this change also into the official ROM with Sense. The very first splash screen is white, and also the second animated is white. I don't like them at all.

Can I change them somehow?

Thanks, Chris.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] stevedebi:
You are speaking of the screen that shows your radio versions? I'm thinking that those are in the ROM and cannot be changed without burning a new ROM into your device.

You can change the splash screen that comes up AFTER the initial screen, do a search. It is a fairly simple matter of copying a picture file over to the /windows directory, overwriting the existing file.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jdmsleepr:
here is the tool to change it back to black...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Michael Gaines:
Actually, you can change that screen fairly easy. I few months ago I found a mod that used a rom update utility to change it, but it didn't affect the current rom. Just the first boot screen. It was a dark grey and black striped background with HTC in the middle. If I can find the link, I will provide.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sirphunkee:
I think that's what's in the .zip that jdmsleepr posted above...I looked inside and it looks like a simple ROM update setup, like the one you describe. I'll use it as soon as somebody else tests it :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] stevedebi:
It looks to me like this burns the ROM, or part of it. So I'm to assume that one would need the hard SPL before use?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mrbox23:
Works like a charm :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sirphunkee:
Awesome, thanks for the feedback!

I don't have HSPL on here now though, so I'm still a little concerned about trying to run a mini-flasher or whatever this is...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] orychalk:
Hi,

It's work for me too :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sirphunkee:
Has anybody run it that didn't already have HardSPL?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bojangle:
Flip you for it....

SirPhunkee,

I will flip you to see who tries it first---- you or me :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sirphunkee:
Well you may have an unfair advantage there...I'm still waiting for ANY local store to not only get some stock, but to keep it long enough for me to find out about :mad:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] wez89:
You need hardspl to flash the customRUU
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sirphunkee:
Understood, thanks wez, I had suspected as much :cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] JJHiemenz:
This is great. Is there any way I can substitute my own image into this CustomRUU in place of the 'TouchPRO2' text on the black background?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] JJHiemenz:
Yes, next time search a little bit before tossing questions out there that can easily be answered with a search. :p

just wondering, if people are trying to work out android into HD2, then a webOS inside HD2 is even better :D :D

if htc buys palm as the rumors say than maybe we'll have a chance to see this...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tkalli:
Could prove to be very interesting if the rumors come true.

:)

​
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iwang:
i got hd2, palm pre and nexus one at the moment..hd2 is the best hardware wise, palm is the best OS wise...n1 stand in the middle...

i don't even bother thinking about windows 7... webOS is way better than wm 6.5.5 (of which the platform is much older)

android comes surprisingly good though..

if htc does buy palm then we surely will get something like hd2 with palm OS..:D :D

i can use my hd2 solely because of custom roms...using standard rom is out of question
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] antaed:
my first choice was the palm pre but i got tired of waiting for it. htc hero was the best android at that time - good alternative but outdated. nokia's n900 was also an interesting alternative but i decided to go with the hd2.

now, after 5 month with it i think it was the best decision i could have made. it's far from perfect but thanks to this community it's getting better and better and i enjoy every minute of this experience.

i couldn't agree more
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iwang:
yeah

need something like pop up sms, like chompsms in android..is there any in hd2?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ForceField:
It would be a great experience if we can try WebOS.

However WebOS is just a Linux like Android and because it is HTML-based the coding is also very limited and we can't have all the powerful applications that can be made or found on Windows.

Beside it's better to code in the state of the art C# than in old HTML.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snipey:
Say what? I dont understand that statement. Linux is build on C, surely you are mistaken by saing android is coded in HTML...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ForceField:
I didn't said that Android is coded in HTML.

I am a Coder snipey and this is not me who you is mistaken

I know what .NET is capable of and what HTML is capable of:

WebOS is HTML based and if you know how to code in HTML or Javascript then coding applications for WebOS is really easy because it is simple.But with this simplicity you will not be able to make powerful applications.

.NET C# is Microsoft's latest language and heavily supported it is also very different from C in matter of syntax and much more powerful because of the graphic.

With this new language(not that new though) you can write very complex code that can give powerful applications.

This is what I was stating.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ark2020:
WebOS is not just html - it is mainly based on JAVASCRIPT - when you say HTML it sounds outdated, but javascript and xml (AJAX) is the new thing when it comes to merging the line between web apps and desktop apps.

Plus Linux is C based. So if Palm unlock the OS it could run native linux apps.

Also, check out the latest games on the palm app store, like Need for speed, those are not HTML based.

Palm has cracked the mobile multitasking issue with a very intuitive paradigm, I only wish the hardware was better (e.g. larger screen, better graphics processor).

Drop WebOS on HD2 hardware and I believe they will finally topple the iPhone's dominance of the mobile market.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] auTONYmous:
you're both a little right.

WebOS is primarily HTML, CSS, and Javascript. However, the recently released PDK (Plug-In Developers Kit) also allows coding portions of WebOS apps in C/C++. The architecture is similar to Web Browser Plugins (since most of WebOS is basically a web browser in nature anyway...)

It's right Here: Palm PDK Overview

Metamorph theme that includes these four fonts:

Darkstar

Zune

Comfortaa

Stock

To use with MetaMorph:

Download MetaMorph from the market (FREE version, this will not work with MetaMorph PRO)

Place attached .zip on sdcard in a folder called AndroidThemes

Open MetaMorph, run the checks, "Pick Theme", select Fonts

Select the font you want to use

MetaMorph will ask you to reboot, click Yes. If you click YES and nothing happens (the popup asking you to reboot keeps coming up), just click NO and reboot manually.

If for some reason you are adamantly against MetaMorph, you can still use these:

Open the attached .zip

Extract the folder with the name of the fonts you want to use

Put said folder in your tools directory

Open your command prompt and navigate to your tools folder and type:

adb remount
adb push [B]<name of font folder you're using>[/B] /system/fonts/
adb reboot

I am a new user and flashing ROMS...

I am using a ATT TP2 with older version of Energy ROM, and I travel all the time, my clock will not update when I enter a new time zone.

I have the clock set to my location-

I have selected the box in my settings menu that says get time from internet in the data services tab.

I have checked all my other menu options and even switched to latest version of Energy ROM and cant get a fix.

The weather will update automaticly by location..?

Can anyone help, please...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] JColorado:
More Info...

Okay so I just flew in to a new timezone, instead of updating the clock I just added the city and selected it. I nocticed maybe a few hours later that when I looked at the clock that said "My location" HAD switched to the correct time.

I guess really slowly?

My work partner has the TP2 as well and his switches as soon as he gets off the plane?

Any suggestions?

I am running an older version of Energy and the Carrier Provision will not load.

I tried to find a cab for it but was unsuccessful.

I did switch to the newest version of Energy and setup the Carrier, but It still didnt help with the clock.

If anyone can point me in the direction of a Carrier Provisioning cab, I would be greatful.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

[XPERIA X10 General] cylent:
hello all.

i just bought my x10 yesterday and I am (or rather was) eager to install apps on it however the "Market" app isnt on my phone nor is there any sort of file manager.

How can i install anything now?

also the driver for the "X10i" that windows 7 keeps asking for is nowhere to be found...

pls help!
[XPERIA X10 General] StampedChipmunk:
I can't help with the Market Application, but I can help with the drivers/PC Companion software.

With your SD Card installed in the device:

1) Connect Device to PC via USB

2) Once the Device has connected you will see a USB symbol in the top status bar (USB Connected message) on the Home Screen.

3) Drag down the Status Bar and you will see USB Connected under the 'Ongoing'. Tap this.

4) Select 'Mount' from the pop up

The SD Card will now be mounted to your PC and will appear under My Computer. It should be labelled "Sony Ericsson PC Software"

5) Open "Sony Ericsson PC Software" and Select "Install"

Your Drivers and PC Companion software will now install.

NOTE: Make sure you follow this disconnect procedure - I've seen ... weirdness when I haven't followed it and your SD Card may not be visible to the Phone again unless you do!

1) Safely Eject the device from Windows (USB symbol on Taskbar in Win 7 > Eject)

2) Drag down the Status Bar and tap USB Connection

3) Select UnMount

Note: Steps 2 & 3 are not always required...
[XPERIA X10 General] cylent:
Thanks.

I wasnt aware there was any stuff on the memory stick that came with the x10. I'll install the software.

However its really lame of SE to not have the market app.

whats odd is under application manager i did find "Market updater" so i know something is there. there has to be a way to install it so i can install s/w.
[XPERIA X10 General] StampedChipmunk:
Hi Cylent,

I had the Market Application on the Apps menu - front and centre.

Forgive me if I'm telling you something you already know but the Home page (the one with the clock and the Timescape/media scape buttons) is only a customisable front end to the Android system.

you can add and remove widgets to the Home screen (Press and hold), there are three screens you can move to and fill with widgets (Swipe left or right to move).

At the bottom of the screen is a stripey bar. Swipe that bar upwards to reveal the Apps menu. This is scrollable and I found the Android Market icon (labelled Market and looks like a shopping bag) just off the initial view.

I find it very strange you don't have access to the Market using the Market app. Just for that, I'd take the phone back and demand another one.

Take care

S.
[XPERIA X10 General] klarsen:
It seems like in Saudi and UAE the market application is illegal due to "protection of feelings" since there might be offending material in the App Store

So that is why here cant get the X10 with Market application...

:-(
[XPERIA X10 General] StampedChipmunk:
Yeah, just found that out myself.

It kinda sucks for guys in that area - half the power of the phone is in its apps...
[XPERIA X10 General] klarsen:
yes and what is even worse is I checked SE UAE BEFORE i bought the phone - and the website said android market was installed.

But here they do not care - so I was just told to shut it - and they would not give me a refund. SE made a mistake and is not "man" enough to admit it and refund a customer.

Now of course the have changed the UAE website... But I still have my screen dumps for my journalist friends. So off to fry SE UAE publicly..
[XPERIA X10 General] cylent:
well heres another ****ed up part.

the box says "AR,EN" on it and it even has a little start guide in arabic but the phone has no arabic on it what-so-ever. messages appear in BOXES when in arabic ...

it has a japanese keyboard which is odd.

i literally cannot do anything without the market app because there is no damn file manager installed.

even windows phones have a file manager. what the hell?
[XPERIA X10 General] Bin4ry:
I don't know if it will help you but why not try the "debranding tutorial". With the tutorial you will be flashing an UK Rom via SEUS, in my opinion the market should be there after that.

-Bin4ry
[XPERIA X10 General] cylent:
ya the debranding idea came to mind because when i tried the SEUS it said my phone was up to date. but all i want to do is flash the UK or whatever version ontop of what i have. cant i copy the rom image to a flash and reset the device to flash?

reason being is this tutorial got me too confused. i downloaded the file and it had a 1 and a 2 subfiles in the zip. where to extract them and what to do? http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=195467

i did it on my htc magic...is it not possible with the x10?

the debranding got my market icon installed!!!
