[HD2 General] gstew:
I've done Windows handheld devices for several years and was very happy when I got my first WinMo phone and could combine two devices into one.

I've currently got a TP2, but looking ahead, I don't think I'm going to like WinMo7. So I'm deciding on what WinMo phone will carry me for a few years and that is boiling down to whether to stick with the TP2 or upgrade to an HD2.

I've played with an HD2 in a T-Mobile store and it seemed pretty nice, but I have a question....

Can the WinMo email client be enabled instead of the HTC version? I was not impressed with it.... Really, I'm not too impressed with the HTC Sense interface. While it looks slick, it is not as integrated and thought-out as the stock WinMo interface... which itself loses to something like the Blackberry interface in integration.

TIA!

[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Yes you can. You can completely disable sense altogether if you like.
[HD2 General] gstew:
Thanks Muchly!

I'm on the waiting list now.

Is tehre any way to AUTO accept bluetooth file transfers from paired devices at least? It's kind of annoying that the phone just can't get the file and let me deal with it later without my interaction.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aitese:
I believe when you get the "Accept Transfer" window up there is a check box to allow that device to send without confirmation from that point on. I can't check because I believe I've already done it with my laptop and so I don't get a confirmation alert any more, the files just transfer. I've turned BT on and off on my laptop and restarted the phone and it still doesn't so I'm sure I got it to do that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigerSoul925:
I believe there's not ;) not on my desire anyway, it's just accept or deny and there is no option to "always allow" so I have no idfea how to maek the phone STOP ASKING ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aitese:
Well, I just deleted my phone from my laptops paired devices and vice versa on my phone.

I made the phone discoverable and sent a file from the laptop. First the laptop searched for it and found it, I selected it and a request to "pair" showed on the phone. I clicked Pair and confirmed on the laptop, a second confirmation popped up to show a pass key and confirm the same was showing on the other device, being my laptop. This was correct so I confirmed on the phone and again on my laptop.

Finally it tried to send the file and a third and final confirmation screen has popped up. It says "Device <laptop> has requested permission to access the files on this phone." There is an option to allow or not and above that is a check box that says "Always"

You're saying you don't get that "Always" check box? I'm looking right at it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigerSoul925:
I am scratching my head, what in lords name, well I don't have one I will go through the pairing procedure again and see if I magically get one but I never seen it so far weirdly enough!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigerSoul925:
Redid the entire procedure and find no box anywhere what so ever :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aitese:
Very strange. I've paired two different laptops this way, one a Dell another a Toshiba, both with different blue-tooth stacks (Toshiba and Microsoft)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigerSoul925:
so st range I've now tried pairing it with another cell too, I STILL never get a darn checkbox. I do get a checkbox to always allow the computer to connect, so far I'm good, but when I send a file I still get the box to accept or deny the file and there is no check box at all in this dialog.

Got no problems with connect confirmation. Paired my Jabra BT car speaker and since then when I turn it on - it automaticly connects with Desire without askin' me for permission.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfile087:
Just thought I would chime in, I have the check box and checked it but it still asks me everytime anyway lol
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigerSoul925:
lol, now that's helpful, even if I get the darn box it won't help me!

I was looking for some auto accepting app but there seems to be none so guess I (+ a few more) are the only ones having this problem.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LostNomad311:
BT Stacks?

I'm using the Toshiba bluetooth stack which does give you the 'always' option, but my HTC Hero (Fresh ROM 2.XXX - the latest as of 06/06/2010) asks every time anyway.

At some point I believe I had my phone auto accepting the file transfers from my home comp, but I can't remember which BT stack I was using. As for the phone I had Sprint's Android 1.5 release.

Maybe its the combination, you guys mind letting me know what BT stack and phone OS combo you're using? It's pretty annoying to have to confirm each send, since I can't send folders (never been able to do that with my Hero). I can send 10 files at a time though (think thats a BT stack restriction, since nothing happens when I try to send 20 files)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigerSoul925:
Weird. I've basically given up on this one though some say it works some say it doesn't. Gotta pick you fights, I'll just accept manually for now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrianrdzv:
I don't have this auto-accept checkbox either... why??

HTC Hero using Android 2.2 with FroydVillain 1.4.4
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cap'flamme:
I can get mine to auto accept file transfer by sliding down to the notification view. It ask for the first file, I accept, during the file transfer, I slide down the notification view and then it auto accepts the following transfers. If I get out of the notification view, it starts to ask me again. Weird...

May be it works also for U
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6chrisp:
Mine always asks me to accept communication with another device (at this point I tick the 'Always accept' box), then asks me to confirm file transfer.

Every time after this I stil have to confirm the latter, as there is no tick box for that one!!

Is this the same as other people are experiencing?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jh_nh:
BlueTooth File Transfer Confirmation

Folks, I think this is what your looking for, let me see if I get this right > you want to transfers files i.e.(FTP,OPP,BIP files, or Files, Objects,& Images) to a Laptop and you keep getting the message that says "File Transfer Confirmation". If this is the problem you can try this.

Start>Bluetooth (all programs) > Bluetooth setting>Options>security Tab>Custom Level> under Bluetooth Information Exchange>uncheck boxes> Display File Transfer, Display Object Push, & Display Image Transfer.

Now when you Bluetooth to your laptop the file transfer window will appear to show you that something is transferring but will no longer ask you to accept it.

Make sure that you have chosen what location you want the files going into, because if you want to change where it is being saved, than you have to go back into Bluetooth setting to do so.

Hope this helps. - Jason

[Droid Eris General] jadesdan:
Are there any ROMS or PATCHES that remove the standard "arc" lockscreen on an incoming call?

I've tried almose all of the ROMS and also jcase's nexux lockscreen patch, witch all fix the standard lockscreen, but as soon as I get a call, I see that dumb arch. I end up answering al ot of calls when I don't want to.

Thanks.
[Droid Eris General] pkopalek:
Lock 2.0 can make it so you just hit 'Accept' or 'Decline'.

But that might 'accidentally answer' even easier than the lock screen.

Put your phone in your pocket top-side down. You'll never accidentally slide to unlock. I still don't understand why people put it in there right side up. Phone calls accidentally answer (with tight pants) and the screen accidentally unlocks.

Upside down is better anyway. You reach in the pocket, you put your phone up toward your face to see it. It's a better system.

That's what I do. 0% accidental answer/unlock, EVER, when putting my phone in my pocket top down.
[Droid Eris General] jadesdan:
Thanks for the tip. I've got so used to rotating my phone in my hand when I pull it out of my pocket that it will take a little getting used to. It's a good idea, though.

I still hate the way it looks.
[Droid Eris General] jearl75:
Yeah, lock 2.0 is a good alternative. I have never had a problem with the stock one, but installed lock 2.0 just for a change. I have the one like the iPhone lock, slides left to right. Give it a try

[Droid Eris General] jadesdan:
Just curious, does Lock 2.0 change the way you answer the phone?

Right now I have the Nexus One lock screen but it doesn't affect the incoming call screen.
[Droid Eris General] lame eris:
any updates on this, i hate the pull down arc for the call answer
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
I use a rotary lockscreen, I don't know how it work with calls lol I don't pay attention.
[Droid Eris General] vash8806:
Lol...yeah...we have default lockscreen on the rom we're using..

So..if you're using damagerom...you'll get the invisible slide to answer bar, no rotary unlock...

I was always wondering if there was a way to change that on any custom rom...
[Droid Eris General] strongergravity:
Lock 2.0

I installed Lock 2.0 on my EE3, but every time I reboot my phone it goes back to the sense lockscreen. How do I make Lock 2.0 the default?
[Droid Eris General] pkopalek:
If you use an AOSP ROM like Eris Lightning Bolt or KaosFroyo or CyanogenEris, you will not have the arc lockscreen to answer.

You also won't have, however, the beautiful SenseUI Home, the SenseUI widgets, the ordinary goodies that come with the Sense lockscreen, and a lot of the basic system features you come to expect in Sense that (some of which are enabled via CyanogenMod or otherwise) aren't all there.

It also is slow to ring, just like with Sense. But it is a completely different approach.

I also put my phone in my pockets upside down (since when I grab it and put it to my face, it's right side up anyway) and I've

N E V E R

accidentally answered my phone when putting it in my pocket that way. Top down. It's the way to go. 100%.

Plus it's easy to hit 'end' or 'call' right from your pocket when you need to hit it really fast.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] RedRamage:
I'm possible getting a TP2 soon. I'd like to use it in the car and would like a suction cup type mount. But I'm also considering getting an extended battery that would bulge out the back, so I would need on that accommodates the larger battery pack. Does such an animal exist?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ms0529:
extended battery car mounts

none that I can find. I have looked long and hard for a car mount for the extended batteries, but cannot find one. The way the phone mounts is sliding in on the side/back and it is dependant on thickness to fit. Maybe one of the really generic mounts that has a clamp fit might work, but none of the holders made for the phone, like Brodit and similar will work.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcase:
A) not one

B) Why, we have massive data storage in the Eris.

apps2sd was initially made for devices with little memory.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drensin:
I beg to differ... With most ROMS there's maybe 110MB of storage left and that gets filled very quickly for me WITHOUT any games. I have a perfectly good 16GB class 6 SD card sitting in the unit that's properly partitioned and ready to go.

BTW: It's odd that the Eris doesn't yet have A2SD but the Nexus One (with WAY more storage) does.

I've taken some stabs at adding a2sd support to roms using various kitchens, but I can't seem to figure out how to edit the vold.conf to mount my ext3 partition to /system/sd.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spencer_Moore:
If you go to my rom port ALoysius2.0v4.0 the original dev has some instructions on app2sd for his rom so it should probably work on mine. I have tried almost all his add ons and they have all worked I don't think this would be an exception.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punk.kaos:

110mb is a LOT of app space.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryanmo5:
It is and it isn't, I have Google Earth, Copilot, Asphalt and WSOP installed and those 4 take up a tad over 64mb's of room. Granted not all use those apps and games but it really isn't a ton of space. We found out quick with nexus it wasn't enough room. I only have 80 apps and games installed but if I didn't use dalvik-cache hack would have run out of room a long time ago.

You just come off looking like an asshole when you post things like that. You could have easily answered his question but chose to be condescending. It only makes the situation worse. You can yell at people for not searching or not posting in the right spot all you want but you need to realize that a lot of the people who come here are visiting for the first time and haven't seen all of your complaints of mistakes that almost every newbie makes.
