Hey I have been looking for a decent stylus for the HD2 and heard that the Pogo and Dagi Stylus are basically rubbish. I came across the Pivot Iphone Stylus but can't find anywhere that sells it except from here:

http://hk.f2.page.auctions.yahoo.com/hk/auction/b14671270

The only seller seems to be on:

www.shop1609.com (search fro pivot stylus)

Anyways as you can see the site is in chinese as its being sold in the Hong Kong. Is anyone fluent enough in chinese and willing to buy one and try it out? It looks like it has a more traditional spiked tip rather than the ball or flat end of the Pogo/Dagi attempts.
[HD2 Accessories] wolfee:
PLEASE for the love of all things good, keep us posted if this stylus works for the HD2 or not. I am in desperate need of a stylus.

I am having a hell of a time getting my fat fingers to work the dif on screne input buttons, and texting. I bought the pogo stylus off of Ebay. But I am seeing reports that is does not work like the vid on youtube shows.

Thank you
[HD2 Accessories] pablo11:
I agree. This could be great if it actually works.
[HD2 Accessories] malex1:
Tried a stylus with the same head.

The part you use is the black pad at the bottom of the pen, and the pad must be flat against HD2 screen. This means stylus is held a 90 degree angle.

It will not work on edge of pad.

You must press hard to get a solid line with these.

Better result with finger.

Do not waste your money.
[HD2 Accessories] R12SRW:
This is the one I purchased for my HD2 and it works perfectly. It has a good solid rubber end angled at about 45% and shrinks down to less than 2 inch when not in use. I have attached it to my leather case with a quick release clip rather than use the earphone plug, so it is not hanging down when I am on a call.

Just ordered 2 of them from USA ebay... was only $4 w/shipping for the 2. Hope they work good for me. I'll post the results I get from them when I get them.
[HD2 General] gangsta-u:
Hey guys,

Searched the entire forum and HTC's manual but couldn't find any info of how to enable a Ringtone and vibration for incoming text messages at the same time. By default my device just rings and mostly times i can't hear it in my pocket. This creates a big inconvenience for me, in fact that I have to check my phone for incoming text messages all the time.

Is there any setting or app i can use to fix it?
[HD2 General] myth1001:
Start > Settings >Sounds & Notifications> *switch to notification tab* > *scroll to Message: New Message under Event > you can enable vibration for new sms there. :D

thank u so much, u are a life saver!

I've seen a variety of screenshots of HD2s with alternate status icons (like the ones shown in this post's screenshots: xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4871358). I've searched and searched and I can't find out how to customize these from the standard, simple, ugly white stock ones. Any tips appreciated!

Thanks!

You can either continue to search for somebody that has done it and released the files. Or you can start looking into modding the manila files yourself to what you want. The files are not unique to the Leo any WinMo 6.5 notification icons will work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BigBlueEdge:
Thanks for the info. I'm brand new to Windows Mobile and the HD2 so I'm not sure I'm up for trying to make my own mods yet. I'm trying to learn from what others have done and then hopefully be able to give back later.

So, are these things typically referred to as 'notification icons'? I found some custom packages under that name, but they all seemed to be the big icons for the programs, not the little status icons. I couldn't tell though whether those packages would include both the big icons and the small status icons or not. Any idea?

Thanks,

BB
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] asifghufran:
To get these icons first you need to install Maxmanilla. search the thread for maxmanilla and after that you can choose your icons for notifications.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] asifghufran:
Notification Icons

Install max manilla and then you can change the default notification by the one I have attached or to any icon you want. Search for the icons on net. A few icons are attached which I use.

Thanks for the tips and guidance! I really appreciate the help. However, I'm not looking for the big icons for the various programs, I'm looking for the little status icons at the top of the display (signal strength, wireless connected, bluetooth, headset, etc). The ones on the T-Mo HD2 are just the basic white 'line drawing' ones from HTC. I've seen some screenshots here (like in the like I posted above) where these little icons are very nice, rich, colorful, almost 3D looking. Those are the ones I'm trying to find. Does MaxManilla have those too?

Thanks!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] asifghufran:
Ah Sorry, I thought you are talking about notification icons. The icons which you are referring are part of taskbar. first you need to check your windows version If you are still on the stock rom or installed a coocked rom 6.5 then search for taskbar 6.5. If you are on 6.5.x then search for taskbar 6.5.x
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] asifghufran:
A lot of customization links are included in the below thread. just search for taskbar for your version.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=639002
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] BigBlueEdge:
Awesome! That's what I was looking for. I was searching for 'status icons' since that's how HTC refers to them in the manual. Didn't think that was called the taskbar.

Thanks again!

I'm wondering why on my HTC HD2 when using facebook..

1-I cant see any option for the "like" function

2-I cant see any updates to my status

3-I cant seem to view other peoples photos

4-Sometimes when i refresh it will hang for absolutely ages and nothing will happen

to be honest using facebook on my other phone a Samsung Tocco was much much better and after paying big money for this phone you would assume that using facebook and web browsing in general would be considerably better but to be honest it doesn't appear that much better asides from the bigger screen.

I'm on T-Mobile UK

ROM Version 1.43 110.2

(any more software info needed?)

Also instead of starting a new thread, im pretty new to the whole ROM/Flashing thingy, ive managed to get Hard SLP (HSPL) on my phone, can someone recommend a ROM that will improve web browsing and multimedia functions,any other info appreciated.

Cheers :)
[HD2 General] jonny68:
No one have similar problems?
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
short answer, facebook app is piss poor.........

set a bookmark for the facebook touch mobile page, it offers much more functionality..

go to m.facebook.com then down the bottom theres a link for the "touch site"

hope that helps........
[HD2 General] myth1001:
I've been using touch.facebook.com all these while. Much better compared to WM Facebook application. :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] jonny68:
Cheers ill give this a go and report back.

anyone any recommendations for ROM.:cool:
[HD2 General] jonny68:
Appears to be somewhat better alright cheers folks.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
Its by no means perfect but its definetly better than the god awful wm facebook app, I cant beleive just how freaking poor it really is.....
[HD2 General] kevev:
Make sure you are using the latest version of Facebook from the Market. It is newer that the one that comes pre-loaded.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tehmk:
I'm having this problem recently, it rarely happens, but it happened to the below apps recently, it's quite annoying as Android doesn't hide the notification bar and it's quite annoying when playing Gangster Wars as I can't see the how much money I've saved.

I restarted the phone couple of times, even tried UID fixing (I know it's used for FC problems) still no luck, and Aldiko book app just recently had it happen.

Pictures:

It's quite annoying is it possible to fix it? :D Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
Are you using apps2sd?.... maybe a corrupt SD card? Have you tried just re-installing the apps? You might lose your game data but may still be worth a try.

Dont know what else it could be sorry.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bryce2010:
Can I do a master reset? I'm rooted & using CM w/kspec.

Considering sending my phone in for replacement/repair. Not sure if I can tolerate the off-color screen & cycling auto-brightness. Thought it wasn't a big deal and I'd wait for an update - but after reading other forums I'm not sure if or when there ever will be an update.

The guy from Google suggested I try to reset the phone. I know that wont fix anything but thought I'd give it a try...

What do y'all think? Should I just put up with the slight off color screen & hope for a software fix? (That's what the HTC guy said to do). Or should I try to exchange it.

I'm rooted I know but HTC is still good about replacing rooted phones right? I should just instal the stock rom right before shipping?

Srry for the multiple questions :o
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FloOGB:
When you just rooted it is possible to revert via factory reset. If you flashed anything else then your bootloader is unlocked and there is no known method to revert that. warrenty is void. maybe HTC won't notice, but if they do, you would have to pay at least the shipping charges.

if you have already flashed another rom, do you have amon_ra's recovery image? there is a wipe -> factory reset option. there is another one in the settings menu somewhere (on the "normal" os), but i don't know what it really wipes and what not.

to bad you guys live in the US. i could even break all warrenty seals and get a repair :D (at least for products I bought here)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
HTC has been quite good about honoring the warranty on hardware defects regardless of unlock/root.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bryce2010:
thanks

i dont know what to do. the phone looks fine really now but that is because im using it in a bright room. its only when on low brightness or in a dark room that it looks really purpley...

guess i will return it... because there is also the auto brightness issue as well... or do i wait for the supposed software update??

[Hero CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
I think I know what the problem is.

I believe it is there media process crashing, and it might be from the voicemail application (though I'm not 100% sure that it is the cause, and it does not need to be running for it to cause the media process to crash)
[Hero CDMA General] pocketz_06:
I don't have a voicemail application installed, so i doubt thats the problem
[Hero CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
Hmm, well I know the voicemail app crashes at the same time, it might be the media process crash makes the voicemail app crash (not the other way around).

I was amazed when I tested Internet Explorer Mobile (the latest build from the HD Mini ROM) and Opera Mobile 10, Opera Mobile 9.7, Skyfire and Opera Mini 5 beta (WM native app) at http://acid3.acidtests.org/

Internet Explorer: 5/100

Opera Mobile 9.7: 100/100

Opera Mini (WM native) 97/100

Opera Mobile 10: 100/100

SkyeFire 1.5 (April 7 build) 52/100
[HD2 General] samsamuel:

I was thinking it would score higher than 5/100 and Skyfire did not perform well either.

until microsoft start accepting standards, they'll never pass the acid test. the stubborn fu@ks should just bite the bullet and re write their (rubbish) html rendering engine.

how would i replace the sense 2.5 ui sliders with the old black and white tf3d sliders? do i have to cook a new rom with these? or would i be able to just create a cab?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] WWebber:
Can't get this to work. Here's what I've done:

- Extracted an already modified and working phcanOverbmp.dll from a cabfile

- changed icons with reshack

- signed DLL with msigner (with the latest 2010 certs). msigner reports: "this file is signed but not timestamped - succeeded")

- installed newSDKcerts.cab on the device

- copied file back to windows dir (with total cmd)

it seems it simply ignores the file and takes the original one instead.

What I'm doing wrong?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NilsP:
First, I assume you did a save in reshacker and not just got out of it.

Second, I assume the reg edits are there to use the phcanOverbmp.dll

If so and you did a soft reset it should have been fine.

You could also try renaming the old one before you copy in the new one just to be sure it is out of the way.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] WWebber:
sure ;)

btw: i binary file compared to be sure.

Not sure about what you mean. The previously installed phcanOverbmp (which is an already modified version) works.

as you said "should"..

Well it is not showing the previously installed and not showing mine but the original wm65 one. So I'm pretty sure I overwrite it and if I filecompare it is mine.

Running out of ideas. Is it still necessary to sign the file with changing the systemtime back to 2009? Is it necessary that maybe several files match together (lik resshell.192 or so)?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pupakota:
add reg to activate phcanOverbmp.dll. i cannot see moment that you installing cab with "default" phcanOverbmp.dll before adding your one.

what NilsP said.

originally phcanOverbmp.dll is not used at all.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] WWebber:
Well, I forgot to mention that I already installed a modified version of phcanOverbmp.dll which is working properly btw. So i was assuming this cab from where I took the dll is setting all regs properly.

Can't be in my case, as when I replace the one which is installed in the windows dir, the display changes - I think back to the original one, because neither mine nor the previous modified one is shown.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] WWebber:
After searching again, i found a newer sdkcerts.cab. Now it is working.

Ok, so as I was reading though the DC 2.06 thread trying to gain some knowledge and figure out any bugs/workarounds/tips/tricks I got to page 30 something and just had to post this.

PLEASE

PLEASE

PLEASE

Stop posting USELESS, POINTLESS, BLOATING, POSTS!!!

I'm not trying to be hostile or anything but posts like....

"booting it now!" and "waiting for files to copy back to my sd card." and "I'm only 50% downloaded, can't wait!!"

While yes... it's good you are excited, but honestly, 99% of us don't give a damn. It makes it freakin' IMPOSSIBLE to navigate through this forum!!! And I don't want to hear anybody cry "Search" either. vBulletin search is NOT the best out there. I think yahoo Boolean searches from 1997 were better. And you have to search with the most basic of keywords, and those keywords (like apps2sd) are used in so many POINTLESS posts that its again, USELESS.

I mean, there is basically NO moderation here. It's like XDA Hero CDMA forums isn't even here. Things just run amock.

Sorry if this post came off as a bit hard, but come on. I mean, COME ON. Let's ALL work together to make this forum a little easier to find information. Is your post asking a question or adding anything to the community? No? Then think twice about posting in a [ROM] thread. I know the Devs appreciate the positive re-inforcement of their ROMs and they deserve it! However I dont think ROM threads are the place for that, NOT ONLY THAT, but when threads such as DC's start as a 2.0 and then are updated to 2.1 then 2.2 then 2.3 etc etc etc and the original post of the thread is changed instead of creating a new thread, so therefor the first 200 pages aren't even remotely relevant to 2.3 they're still from 2.0!

Ok, I'm sorry...

[/RANT] :)
[Hero CDMA General] justinisyoung:
i'm not trying to be hostile or anything, and i don't have anything against this or you, but really.

there have been so many threads JUST like this before. they all say the same thing.

in the end, they become one of those 'useless' posts, because no matter how many times you say this, its probably not going to stop people from making useless posts. sorry :(
[Hero CDMA General] radxcoresteven:
AGREED! And it didn't come of hard to me!
[Hero CDMA General] doojer:
Plus, those posts are more useful than this one. At least they give the dev, who worked for hours or days or months on the ROM, the satisfaction of knowing people appreciate it.

This post, on the other hand, accomplishes nothing.
[Hero CDMA General] poor_red_neck:
Then somebody give me some damn moderation powers and I'll click that delete button all day long.

I moderate 3 other vBulletin forums. Mainly car forums, with 50,000+ members. I have no problem keeping them clean, and would not mind spending some of that time over here too. Hell even if I'm the only one doing it that's better than nothing!
[Hero CDMA General] justinisyoung:
thats definitely the worst thing about this forum. we don't have any active mods on this one. most other forums do. not us.

[Hero CDMA General] toastcfh:
Yeah although u are correct in ur intent. The best way to get these issues taken care of is for our forum to get a mod that actually spends time here and doesn't mind being hated. I personally have tried to get them to make me a mod. But I guess u gotta be someone special to get that privilege. As I always do what they ask of me then never here a reply ontheir decision. Our forum is held down by the fact we don't have subforums like general, themes and apps, q&a and so on. But yeah the only way to get are issues resolved is to contact the mods and ask them to help us.

[Hero CDMA General] normano80:
I like the idea of the developers having something like a discuss thread where the good jobs and such can continue be posted for the roms. It becomes pretty difficult looking through the thread to find useful tidbits when it gets to be over 50 pages or so.

I do agree that having a moderator would be of great benefit too. +1 for toast becoming a mod.

[Hero CDMA General] thatjerk:
Personally I like treasure hunts, so I am pretty happy the way things are. Lol.

Joking aside, I think that this is one of the strongest online communities/forum that I have joined and cared about. I think that the slack the moderators allow has allot to do with how I feel about this community. People are allowed to have a personality, a opinion, and a sense of humor here. It is very nice to come to a forum like this.

The way I read the long ROM threads is read the first page then go to last page and work my way backwards... works well for me. I see the updates the ROM creator posted and then the latest information being passed along that way.
[Hero CDMA General] RamboDroid:
Thinking about what i read now........ can't wait to finish..

LOL no really i do wish we could kindly ask the Devs to start a new thread upon each major revision and maybe put a link in the new thread to the previous version's tread. then post like mine about may not become as frustrating to read do to the lower volume of them.
[Hero CDMA General] bob2300nx:
Actually he is trying to make this forum more manageable. Which IMO you would have to be blind not to realiese. Seriously 300+ pages are really hard to go though. And sometimes in threads ill see a theme or something cool and ill feel like good thing I read every post in that thread or I wouldnt have that.
