[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] denrenten:
can the touch pro 2 run 6.5? or does it get the upgrade to 6.5?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
yes, there are multiple 6.5 builds out there. what carrier do you use?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] denrenten:
i have tmobile....i am new to the WinMo platform, i wanted to get the 6.5 upgrade and also run Android on my device.....does the Android hack support 6.5?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
6.5 supports the android hack. I'm not exactly sure how it works, but you boot into windows and then load android. If your phone was purchase in the last month or two from Tmo you should already have 6.5 installed.

Here are some links for T-Mo 6.5:

Welcome from the Feisty Woman

Hi welcome to xda and enjoy your new brick...:D

Sorry, just some *****y humor to say before you do ANYTHING please read and then re-read all the wiki's/manuals/stickies in the Rhodium forum...there are steps you must take before "playing" with your phone, such as unlocking it. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you understand these steps or you will have a very pretty, very expensive paperweight aka brick.

6.5 is available as both a stock upgrade and custom roms. If your device is very new it may already have 6.5 on it. Droid is not fully functional yet, but it is becoming so very quickly...again, before attempting any rom change, RTFM!!

I would strongly urge you to read in both rom and droid sub-forums of Rhodium, as well as in the general sub-forum. Stickies are the best place to start.

Happy tinkering and welcome to xda, you will become seriously addicted and probably turn into a rom whore like most of us (that's the fun part)!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] denrenten:
ok, thanks 2 both of u guys answers, i will def read everything before doing so.....i jus wanted to try somethin diff, and also which one would u recommend? HD2 or Pro 2? my Pro 2 is on its way, but i didnt kno if the HD2 is better beacuse it has a faster processor and i am new to WinMo, i just left Blackberry...i had a G1 before that so i already kno how to use Android
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] akashastrega:
Frankly, if my TP2 had the bigger processor that the HD2 has, it would be absolutely PERFECT (yes, I have processor envy!)

That being said...I would not trade in my TP2 for an HD2...I love the sturdiness of my TP2, I love the physical keyboard. I am very hard on phones, and I tested the HD2 out in the store and it felt like, to me, a wimpy iPhone...like I would snap it in half...but then my phone must battle makeup, hairbrushes, and whatever other girly stuff is in my purse that makes it weigh 50 pounds...so I need a bulky, sturdy device.

I do not know if/when the HD2 will be droid compatible, but I know our Rhodium chefs have been kicking ass in that arena!! We also have some wicked awesome chefs cooking up WinMo roms...I am personally a big fan of the Cell team, but all the chefs here are really awesome and very helpful.

Anyway, again, welcome to xda...and be sure you read and re-read before attempting any modifications. ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] denrenten:
how could i make the phone run faster? or free up more memory?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] akashastrega:
That young padawan can be found by reading the forums...

check out some of those stickies/wikis mentioned as priority reading materials.

-----------------------★★★★★★★------------------------------

...what I do is install "fluff" programs to my sd, also my cache files...I also routinely clean my phone of crap including bad uninstalls/shortcuts, dangling notifications and stuff like that using programs like SK Tools or MemMaid.

1.27.514.1 Anybody have this rom for HTC s621?? Please upload if someone have it.
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
Look in the official rom section :)
[Touch HD General] DanRo80:
I received the phone today and when I powered it on the screen was locked and wouldn't let me unlock it. When I would press the volume button it would prompt me to press "Cancel" and then "Unlock" but the screen was completely unresponsive. I did a hard reset and once it got to the calibrate screen it won't do anything at all. Completely unresponsive to touch.

The Seller assures me that it worked and they did a hard reset before shipping it.

It looks like the phone has been opened because the screw with the VOID sticker on has been tampered with and one of the screws is missing the head. It has to be someone on here because it has SPL-1.56.OliNex and a cooked 6.1 ROM. The phone was insured for the shipping and they offered to help with repair costs

"I suggest you could go to the local repair shop to see what is wrong with it.

Another way is to contact those guys:

http://www.drcellphone.com/shop/home.php?cat=580

And if they can repair it for reasonable price, I will refund you for repair price."

What do you guys suggest I do about this?
[Touch HD General] DanRo80:
I found the person on the Forum who sold me the phone

I did a search and found the seller on here. I checked his past posts and he was having problems with the screen not responding. I don't know what to do, it seems as if I was scammed by someone here = (

Should I ask for a partial refund that would bring the transaction cost down to what Blackstones are going for that need the LCD and Digitizer replaced?
[Touch HD General] gerryjoson:
Name the user so we can publicly berate them on this forum....I hate fckers that do this sort of crap......sure it was going, thats why it had been opened....probably been flashed a gazillion times also.

Nothing but a full refund and apology would satisfy me, if they don't want to do the honorable thing, get in contact with ebay and ask them what your options are, which is probably very little apart from leaving bad feedback....but they may be able to suggest something.

Who's comments are in red?
[Touch HD General] DanRo80:
That was his comment back when I sent him a message through ebay about it not working. This was his first reply back "I'm not sure what is happening here. I just did hard reset before I sent it to you to clean any personal info and I was able to go into regular calibration screen.

It may be damaged during shipment, although I packed it well"

and "I do not know either. It was working device when I sent it. You can file post office damage claim, I insured this phone for the whole amount of $430." He probably insured it because he knew it didn't work and would count on me using the insurance and not thinking that I would find him on here. Should I really demand a full refund or partial? What do others think. I am pretty irritated ! !
[Touch HD General] stuntdouble:
If you paid by paypal, just go through the procedure to claim the money back and send the device back to them, as it's obviously been incorrectly described or missold. If you didnt pay by paypal, you're screwed, unless the person selling it is decent. But it sounds like they lied in the first place chances of that are slim to none, and you will probably have to sort the device out yourself. On another note, $430 seems quite a lot. That's HD2 money here (but then it could just be the UK/US exchange rate that's making it seem high). If they have already lied about the device once, chances are they'll never pay for any repairs (which you will have to do yourself if it's been voided), even if they say they will.

For future reference, make sure any pictures of a device you are bidding on, on ebay, shows the screen on and working. I'd say this was a basic requirement for people putting phones on there. At least that's what I do when I sell them. Good luck.
[Touch HD General] DanRo80:
Yeah, It's the exchange rate messing with ya. The HD2 goes for $700 USD
[Touch HD General] DanRo80:
This is the latest from him

"Dan,

I had this issue with the phone and sent it to HTC for diagnostics. It has been completely fixed and I used it till now.

The phone I sold you was in working condition. There was no reason for me to put non-working phone on eBay, because whoever buys it will definitely and immediately see that it is not working phone.

If you want to proceed with refund, please follow PayPal dispute procedure on paypal.com. Once I receive the phone back with all accessories I'll issue you full refund for original transaction amount."
[Touch HD General] gerryjoson:
A PITA, but at least you get your money back hopefully.
[Touch HD General] cybermaus:
Slightly off topic, but is the going price for a used but in good and pretty conditions Touch HD really about US$430 at that side of the Atlantic. That would come to € 320 if I am not mistaken. I would probably consider selling mine for that amount.
[Touch HD General] DanRo80:
Well, I just bought this one now. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260583496466

Others that I have watched go for around $300-$450 depending all what is combined in the auction and if it is unlocked or already have HSPL done.
[Nexus One General] vr24:
I'll tell ya, the quality of the camera on this thing is bad ass. Attached is a panorama I shot with it yesterday.

The original is really high resolution too.
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
Glad you were in such a nice place. I was wondering how you took such a good panorama shot? (was it a specific panorama app?)
[Nexus One General] t0mmy:
nice shot.. i too am extremely satisfied with the cam on the nexus. care to share the app you used to take that panorama?
[Nexus One General] BrotherG:
I too am interested in that app

[Nexus One General] dinan:
Not sure if there's an app that can be used directly on the phone but there's many PC applications that can stitch together a series of photos flawlessly like this. But if there is one on the phone I'd be interested in it!

And that's a beautiful picture!
[Nexus One General] vr24:
It's not an app on the phone. I just shot the photos then stiched them together with Windows Live Photo Gallery.

All you do is put your photos into the live photo gallery, highlight them all, right click and select "make panorama".

The optimized version doesn't do it justice, the original is 7500 pixels wide. Took a lot of other ski photos, it was nice not needing a separate camera - every photo came out stunning.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Looks fantastic! Is that with the Desire Camera, or the stock Nexus one?
[Nexus One General] vr24:
This is the Desire ROM Alpha 21. I would assume that this is the desire camera app, although I've never seen the normal nexus app so I wouldn't know.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Thanks for the info. The stock camera is good... but the Desire camera is way more adjustable. So far the standalone Desire camera app that PaulOBrien ported for us is the only reason I'd consider rooting.

OTA Update is available!
[Nexus One General] faraz1992:
Apple rolls out v4.0 of their iPhone OS for dev preview and finally, multitasking will be officially available. Seems like a lot of changes in security, performance and feature updates.

1. Multitasking (apple claims that its going to be best at this, just like copy/paste). They also admit that it might make the phone's performance sluggish.

2. Phone's notification bar now shows if someone requested for its location.

3. Fast App Switching allows an app to save its session and resume from there later.

4. Drag and drop app icons in custom folders. That means you can now have any number of apps. When you run out of space, just create a folder any drag apps into them. (There is something more but i didn't make what Steve was trying to explain.

5. Unified inbox for several mail clients, including fast inbox switching to focus on a specific client. Attachments can now be opened with a third party app. Support for multiple Exchange accounts and some VPN options.

6. iBooks on iPhone.

7. More privileges to developers including interaction with calendar, photo library, quicklook etc. Over 1500 new APIs and a new framework for hardware accelerated math function (called accelerate).

8. Better gaming with social gaming network.

9. iAds, thats delivers mobile advertisements with emotions (I don't know what Steve meant by this).

10. Create playlists, 5x digital zoom, tap to focus on video, gift apps, geotagging, places in the photo app, change the homescreen wallpaper, bluetooth keyboards, spell checker etc.

There are over 100 new updates, these were the only ones revealed at the event.

Some of the features are really funny, like folders, wallpapers, playlists, geotagging, spell checker. What I don't get is that Android already supports all of these features (other than the iCraps) but new versions of Android aren't as anticipated as iPhone's OS. Seems like Google really needs some good marketing strategies.
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
Yeah I agree.

It annoys me how much of a cult that apple has following its every move. Even if they don't come out with the best product they have so many sheep that will buy their products at the drop of a hat it doesn't matter how inferior their products are. Dunno if I would even want Google followers to become sheep like they are with Apple.

If Google did the same thing and put together keynotes / apple style events and focused on a few particular products then I could see it but there's a big difference between the two: Apple is a hardware company, Google is a advertising company. Hard for Google to have Keynotes about its Android operating system when most of the devices aren't even on the latest version.

Perhaps FroYo will change this...
[Nexus One General] INeedYourHelp:
Is this coming to the current iphone or just for hte next-gen iphone?
[Nexus One General] faraz1992:
Its coming out for current phones this summer...
[Nexus One General] jz9833:
not every feature. i believe they said multitasking will only be on the new version.
[Nexus One General] bewA:
I do believe that Apples announcement is very much an update full of catchup!

Certainly pretty much all features announced android can do natively!

The problem I have and i'm by no means an apple fanboy as I have an N1 and love it sinece coming from my 3GS is that the android implementation needs to be way more polished.

Exchange support for me is a biggy and needs to be much better the HTC Desire ROM is much improved over stock google one for the N1 but still room for improvement.

I would like all my email in one exchange and gmail in one app rather than have to flick between two different apps.

but hey!
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
I agree here, I don't know if I want Android to have slaves around it like Apple - those Apple fanboys tend to get irritating, and hearing Android ones wouldn't be too soothing either..

Google is hiring a marketing manager, OP, let's just hope they don't go overboard. Just enough to bring Android more into the eyes of the public.
[Nexus One General] jz9833:
Yes, we need to always remind google that it does have flaws, and that it needs improve its core apps.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not going to buy a nexus 2 unless that phone wows me just like the n1 did.
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
multi on 3GS and the 4th gen
[Nexus One General] faraz1992:
No multi for 3g??? I thought it had a good processor....
[Nexus One General] cymru:
@faraz1992 - Not good enough it would seem.

Looks like iPhone OS 4 is bringing the iPhone up to par with my Nokia 3330 though ;-p

Google really should advertise the Android OS. iPhones are a joke in comparison. Its taken until version 4 to be able to change the home screen?!?! UNBELIEVABLE!
[Nexus One General] bobtentpeg:
Just sayin'

All of you complaining about fanboys, are acting like fanboys yourselves. So, umm, STFU you morons
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Ooo "stfu", you are definitely not an immature moron. This is an Android section, obviously the people here will have more interest in Android and more hate in Apple. Even if they are acting like fanboys, their statements are quite true.

This fourth OS is nothing too spectacular - many features it contains are already preset in Android, and many other phone that have been out for a while, now just because Apple is announcing it - it is seen as something of amazement..
[Nexus One General] DocRambone:
Why is this posted in nexus forum?
[Nexus One General] DaveKid:
Doc

Thanks for the post. A very interesting topic indeed.

Even with all the problems I've had with my Nexus One (Touch input indexed incorrectly, Phone locking up during phone calls via Google Voice) I doubt I would ever even think about switching back to the iphone much less actually do it.

That said, I believe Google could benefit greatly by adopting 2 apple iphone platform paradigms (say that 3 times fast)

1) A more rigorous app store review process. Too much crap makes it way to the Android app store in my opinion. Google should review each app to ensure it meets certain quality measurements both in interface design and "under the hood". Apple, and thus the iphone platform, benefits greatly from being able to ensure end users that any app they use from their store will work with the phone and will meet apple's very high (almost too high) quality standards. I doubt very many of us can honestly argue that apple doesn't make a product that is great to use. Apple's stuff glistens and people want stuff that glistens...or at least I do!

2) Funnel all payments through Google and then back out to the developers. the iphone app store again benefits greatly from the fact that any purchase you make goes through your iTunes account. You never have to try and fumble around trying to key in a credit card number directly into the phone and you can be sure you information is safe (or at least is only in one database). Simply said, it simplifies the process. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a big fan of mass consumerism but the iphone app store, because of what I said in my first item and because of what I stated in the second lends itself greatly to impulse buying or, at the very least, kills having to debate whether you feel like whipping out your credit card, keying all the information in, submitting, worrying about where your data is going, etc. etc. I can buy with confidence. And when I buy I want to be confident about what I'm getting and I want the process to be fast and simple. the iphone app store is fast and simple.

anyway, again a great topic.
[Nexus One General] Amdathlonuk:
But you don't have to type your CC number in to buy an app all the time?

I have my card stored on my google account I just clicked 'buy' or am I misreading your post?
[Nexus One General] DaveKid:
yes...my bad. It was assumed by me that we all know you don't ALWAYS have to type it in. Also, I believe there is a review process in place but again I assumed that we all know it isn't nearly as rigorous as with the iphone app store.

But I do want to add one more thing. Google should be funneling money into XDA!!!! this site and some others like it are the life blood of the android OS and it's popularization and customization. If Google were smart they would fund the development of the XDA site and get the main players involved on the payroll....(this assumes that anyone involved would actually like to be on their payroll. autonomy does have it's own set of niceties)
[Nexus One General] faraz1992:
Its posted in the nexus one forum so that we can make fun ;) of what apple's newest update has to offer. People going crazy about this update because of features like wallpapers, folders and MULTITASKING, something that first generation android phones were capable of...

[Touch HD General] DarsVaeda:
Hi,

i try to install Android.

I got a card that is working now and installed a package from here:

http://rapidshare.com/users/LJZGS9

I also followed the instructions there.

Its booting although i miss the text "Press VolDn to launch the installer" (step 3 in that tutorial).

Android is booting well and i see the screen with the slider to unlock.

When i drag that down i can see the top menu with battery-symbol for a few seconds.

Then i just see a screen with an HTC logo. But i can not do anything else. No button is working except the power button. If i use that i get back to the unlock-screen...

What am i doing wrong?

Is there a full package with Android 2.1 available for the blackstone? Like just extract and run for idiots, like me :D

Thanks
[Touch HD General] welki1979:
not yet a FULLY working package, thing like camera are still not working, but I'm sure it will come in time and the Blackstone will be reborn!

So far the most stable version I have used is the one found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=621498

It installs via a cab file or from a ZIP and run VERY quick.
[Touch HD General] N!ghty:
i prepared the espresso build in the rs link list as "ready-to-use" for blackstone.

- download

- extract onto sd card

- run haret.exe

- wait 5-10 minutes until its finished and it should run quite smooth.
[Touch HD General] ASK768:
out of curiosity, are you guys using a sd card with anything else on it (like files from winmo) or do you use it for the sole purpose of booting android. because when i run it, its sluggish.
