[HD2 General] igotdatglow:
I'm with you on this one, but don't have an equivalent android phone to upgrade to. I don't want what t-mobile considers to be the top of the line, and I can't afford the nexus one.

All I need is fully functioning GMAIL and GTALK and windows mobile can't supply either out the box. I don't want to have to pay for apps to do something everyone else gets for free. I'd be happy with GTALK if it just told me when I get an IM. That's right, I don't get any notifications from it at all :mad:. If I'm on the phone I'll hear a beep but don't get anything on the status bar. I looked at it today and noticed I had 2 new chats that I missed. And don't even attempt to switch between 2 chat windows...the first window is never selectable :mad:

I miss my blackberry :(
[HD2 General] dipaolnv:
Use Palringo or IM+ I'm using Palringo, and you can set it up to have two GTalk accounts online at the same time (not that anyone would ever have more than one gtalk account :p).
[HD2 General] rickyoon.vegas:
I'm with you on that one.

I missed my blackberry too.

But have you looked at your blackberry? cause, I tried to use my blackberry last night after having HD2 for 7 days.

I do not miss it anymore.

I mean, the screen looked so tiny, I couldn't read anything. haha.

But all in all, I do miss the keyboard.
[HD2 General] cheapo:
I second that... I miss the keyboard as well... i was able to write emails or text with my eyes closed :)
[HD2 General] rsacipher:
I don't know what you're talking about, I use GTalk all the time and have never had any issues with contacts updating and conversations work flawlessly inbound and outbound.

I have a sony car stereo and just tried the bluetooth streaming and it is not great, keeps breaking up etc... Just wondered if anybody else is having similar problems or is they any settings I can change or is it just my stereo ??

Thanks

[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Try unpairing and reparing. On the G1 (never happened on desire yet) sometimes you get like a "faulty" connection which breaks up all the time. Am using Bluetooth earphones but the concept is the same.
[Desire General] payneardo:
Thanks wil give that a go :)
[Desire General] ryaske:
Did that fix it for you? Because i have the same problem with my JVC deck ans it didn't fix a thing. This phone works as well as my Fuse/Raphael does from outside the car. 10 feet away.

I am so glad im still in my return window. This phone is really nice under first impression.. but all motorolas crapware, locked bootloader, etc, nulls all the awe put of this phone. I think im giving up on Android for my next contract term. Sigh

I wondered if anyone has tried SWYPE on the Desire and if there are alternatives to it? The videos of Swype look fantastic.
[Desire Themes and Apps] zomig:
yep have it running on mine and it is perfect, much better than shapewriter, it does however stop the pinch zoom from working, this only seems to work with the stock keyboard.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Bandare:
Do you mean the pinch zoom doesn't work at all on the phone or just to enlarge the keyboard?

Where do you get swype for the android by the way?

[Desire Themes and Apps] zomig:
That didn't work for me, just came up with expired when installed, got another version

Anybody wanting a working version then link is Here Not sure how long this lasts but it is currently working.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Wydi:
Hell yeah,

finally this one worked for me on my N1 and supports foreign languages!

Thanks for that.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Bandare:
sorry to ask but how do you install it?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Wydi:
As my android is german, I don't exactly know what the menu items are called, but it should be something similar:

1. Download the .apk file and copy it to your phone's SD card

2. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Check "Unknown Sources"

3. Use an app like ApkInstaller, browse the apk and install it

4. Settings -> Language and Keyboard -> Check Swype

5. In an input field, long-press the field, choose "Input Method" and "Swype".

6. If you wish, change the Swype settings in Settings -> Language and Keyboard -> Swype.

That's it.:)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Bandare:
thanks for the comment. I am looking for apkinstaller in the marketplace but it's not coming up. I tried installing a couple of other apk installers but they both failed....
[Desire Themes and Apps] Wydi:
I'd post the QR code, but as I am a noob, I'm not allowed to.

So google for "apkinstaller" and you'll find it.

If not: What's the error message you get?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Bandare:
Thanks... I used an EoE installer in the end and that worked like a charm... Got Swype working but it's been crashing quite a few times..... I wonder when they will open the beta or release this as it does look fantastic.
[Desire Themes and Apps] zomig:
I use Astro, just do a search for this app, very easy once installed.
[Desire Themes and Apps] deprecate:
huh. odd. glad you found a version that works for you :)

I managed to get in while the beta was still open so I was just trying to link you to the topic that seemed most relevant to your ask.

Bandare -

You can always use adb to install if you are hooked up to a pc...

adb install package.apk
[Desire Themes and Apps] irkan:
does anyone tried using in landscape? i tried to install it in the emulator, it doesnt work on landscape mode.

also when will this beta expires?
[Desire Themes and Apps] irkan:
anyone? just want to know wither its for a limited time
[Desire Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2496007:
Swype for the Desire - Just get it.

Sorry if this is an old thread, but just cottened on to swype thanks to the Mobile Buzz widget informing me. I'm new to Android and only had my Desire 2 months.

It is app nirvana! I'm running the beta now (1.56.30), and I must say, when it runs out and I have revert back to the stock keyboard and tapping away, I'm gonna cry. It works so well. Has increased my typing speed at least 3-fold. (HTC Desire with stock 2.1 ROM).

The only thing I'd like to re-enforce that was covered in another post, is that it's not made very clear by the developers how to start using it! After installation, get to an input screen and do a long press, and select the 'input method' option and check the swype box. It will stick with your stock keyboard if you do not do this.

Will happily pay/donate for this when the full release comes out, and will be very surprised if this does not become the standard implementation for touch screen typing very soon. The swype keyboard also works well with the tradtional tapping method should you want to type something unlikely to be in it's database, so why not?

Very very impressed with it so far.

Edit: Noticed a slight weakness. Not sure if this is fair, but it is not so useful if you are using the phone in landscape mode. It works to a degree, but you have to stick with one finger per word/swype. Not easy if your thumbs are not up to reaching across your keyboard in landscape. Can be uncomfortable. Recommend sticking with fingers instead of thumbs! But for one-handed, portrait typing this is still the daddy.
[Desire Themes and Apps] blackfox888:
the new beta version, what is the full version number? 1.56.30......., I already have a modded version 1.56.30.7625.t100 installed. also how long on average does beta version expire? After requesting for an invite ages ago, I finally got an email from them to use their beta. is it worth installing it??
[Touch HD General] becosemsaida:
Hi all,

After being away for a while and currently not having a htc device i have the oportunity to buy a blackstone used. It looks nice, good preservation, no scratches on the screen, all acessories included. My question is it still worth it???

I have seen some new models of htc but they are a bit expensive here. This one goes for 250€ but i'm afraid it's a bit "old". Please if you can give me your opinion about this issue.

Back from............the end of the world.

becosemsaida
[Touch HD General] stuntdouble:
Yes it is worth it. It still runs all the latest OS etc. I'm glad I bought mine a few months ago. The HD is a good all round performer, and like you say the other devices around that are better/newer are a lot more expensive. When you can get most the features of the HD2 on the HD for half the price, why not buy the HD. That's the way I see it anyways. The price you stated does sound a bit much though, I'm sure you could get it much cheaper on ebay, but this could just be down to the crappy exchange rate here against the Euro.
[Touch HD General] becosemsaida:
Thanks for your reply. Since e-bay is out of the question because many of them don't ship out of their country and i also don't have a pay-pal account it doesn't leave much choise. I have seen the site and i know it's a lot cheaper but still not an option for me. I see that according to users the HD can (almost) do the same as the HD2 and i think i will go for it. Would like to have other opinions though.......

[Touch HD General] crash_194:
I purchased my blackstone last week after trading in my hero. The hero was a nice handset, i just didn't think android "was all that". I don't think the functionality of android is great, even 2.1. However i am running a the lastest blackstone henge rom on my device and i think its great.

The internal specification of the blackstone is the same as the hero if i'm correct and the hero is a relatively new device in comparison. Don't get eaten up by the snapdragon ghz band wagon, the touch hd still holds its own and imo is a great alrounder.

What requirements do you have for a handset when you look at buying one?
[Touch HD General] gerryjoson:
The HD is pretty good still, but a bit slow, and always was, for that sort of money I'd be inclined to buy a new acer S200 now and get the fastest Wm device available, very similar to the HD and are apparently very easy to flash other roms on to if the acer one is buggy.

Despite my disappointing experience with an F900, I would still be prepared to give them another try, I've had bad experiences with HTC and HP branded HTC's also.
[Touch HD General] Bodisson:
Yes, HD is still front runner, specially if you find cooked ROM which has what you like.

And there's plenty of cooked ROMs, and more than half of them are still developing...

Price of 250 € is nice one, if device is really good preserved.
[Touch HD General] lo-tek:
I can't comment on the price but I just bought one (t8285) on Ebay for 450 US precisely for the reason that a) I've never had one and didn't like the bulk of the Rhodium and b) there's an EnergyRom for it :)

The Telstra versions are rare in the US but work on the 850 range which is ATT's 3g band. I wanted to see if I could live without a keyboard and didn't want to pony up the big bucks to get an HD2 for Telstra until I signed off on the soft keyboard.

If you can afford it and find one you like I don't think you can go wrong. It's not the latest and greatest but it is a strong contender.
[Touch HD General] slinkysaddler:
i agree with this !! this is my second hd i was planning to move over to the hd2 but i was way to big for what needed so i go one with the hd2 engery rom... as its just Ace...
[Touch HD General] vcespon:
The only bad part of it is Microsoft abandoning WM

Yes, I've seen some used ones in Ebay for $200 - $250. The Touch HD has everything (big screen, WiFi, GPS, FM radio, G-sensor, 5 mpix camera). It's a lot of hardware for that price.

Of course it runs Windows Mobile, which is dying right now. Sooner or later you'll have to move to Windows Phone 7 (vade retro) / iPhone / Android.

Any app you use (or God forbid, purchase) for Windows Mobile will not be transferable to any other phone in the future. Ask the developers if they will port the app and to what platforms.

You have a very good WM 6.1 ROM from KWBR, and a lot of WM 6.5 ROMs. I've used a few of them and am currently running a WM 6.5 with Manilla 2.5 and Opera 10.
[Touch HD General] kuailan:
Why dont get the mini HD?? it's about that price too?? got similar specs, in fact improved, and I think capacitive screen too?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mad_bouy:
Hello. I am wondering if someone can help me. I have a cliq which has been unlocked from T-mobile and am presently in the caribbean. When I use the local gsm sim card the wireless scanner does not find any networks at all. But when I insert another gsm sim card for example a uk sim card which I have it finds any wireless network. After going through adb logcat it seems that if your country is not in the GSM list for the cliq the wifi scanner won't work. I have attached the logs. I have used android on my kasier with Mym ward donot and wifi worked fine so I am guess it is something with the Motorola settings or some files need editing. Any help would be grateful.Thanks
[Desire General] er_yeah:
Hi guys,

I saw this on another forum, but a guy said that his other friends on t-mobile had much higher download speeds on 3G than him on his Desire, so he entered their 3G settings into APN and apparently has much faster speeds. I'm not sure how to measure the speeds so thought I'd just post the settings here for you guys to see whether it really is faster or not! Here it is:

name= T-mobile Internet

apn= general.t-mobile.uk

username = t-mobile

password= **

mmsc= h ttp://mmsc.t-mobile.co.uk:8002/

mms proxy= 149.254.201.135

mms port= 8080

mmc= 234

mnc= 30

auth= pap

I can't post urls yet so there's a space in the mmsc.

Probably shouldn't delete original APN settings just in case.

Hi I don't see how the settings mentioned would affect your browsing speed as by default the handset will only use this APN for MMS messages. My handset by default is set to use 'Vodafone Post-pay ISP' APN.

I can confirm that for T-Mobile UK changing the settings as mentioned does improve speed e.g. from download 0.5mb/s to 0.95mb/s (tested just before and after changing settings)

[Desire General] Nakebod:
Am I the only one noticing that you are all using a proxy server?

No wonder that you get more speed, the proxy server is a cache for many requested websites/files, thus also speedtest.net. Normal behavior for proxy servers.

Try downloading normal files, and see if it is still faster then normal. Otherwise it is just the proxy cache.

I tested before and after, there was a slight increase but I guess it depends on the quality of your signal, I did try to keep the phone in exactly the same place and complete the tests within a couple of minutes of each one. At least there seems to be no negative outcome of changing these settings.

So, I decided to not wait and have a try to cooked rom.

- If u r with O2 UK could u help me to do it step by step please?

- which rom wld u recommend.

- I know I void warranty but before I send the phone to repair I can put back

there my 1.43 firmware and everything is ok, am I right? Cld u send me a link to O2 1.43 firmeware just in case.

- any advice and help is welcome.

try some, and stick to what works for you.
