No luck trying (even moving a folder shortcut to Start Menu) & no luck searching.

Is there a way to make one of the Sense shortcuts point to a folder anywhere on the device? F'instance, let's say I have a folder of playlists & want to open the folder up so I can quickly pick one.

How about a shortcut directly to a playlist.. or document.. or whatever?
[HD2 General] gnash.s:
Yes, I have multiple shortcuts to folders & pdf files in my sense quick links. Just create a shortcut and copy it to the "\windows\start menu\programs\" folder. Then add the shortcut in the sense like any other program shortcuts.

ive been trying to find the wifi tether apk to put on damages latest rom, can you guys help me, and also i would like to know when i do get it, is there any thing else i would have to do to get it running besides just installing the apk?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] danknee:
Just run it. It is hosted on Google Code.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dirkyd3rk:
thanks alot.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] srkmagnus:
Download the 1.6 .APK since that has been proven to work best with our phones.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dirkyd3rk:
that was also my next question because there was like 100 versions on there, once again thanks, i just downloaded the 1.6 version as we speak.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] srkmagnus:
Just be careful when using the Tether. Even though there is a setting to password protect the network, you can't actually get it to work (unless I am doing it wrong) and others can still join. You can manually cut off the connection should someone join the network. A notification will pop-up on the phone telling you if a device has connected to the network.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] funcrusher:
If you use access control, no one can connect without you enabling the connection.
[Desire General] RandomDude:
I thought this might be a good time to start a thread for the Aussies to discuss the UMTS 850MHz version HTC Desire being launched by Telstra on the 27th of April. I know there has been discussion on Whirlpool but it's mostly about people grey importing the 900MHz version.

I've moved from the imate JasJam to the HTC Touch Diamond to a Nokia E51... and now it looks like the HTC Desire. There was no way I was going to get sucked into Apple's iSpin.

Bring it on ;)

Can you let me know if the Hardware has any branding on it? I'm assuming that the SW is branded regardless. I want to pick one up to use in the US on ATT 850 mhz.

Thanks

Purchasing outside of Australia

Does anyone know if Telstra would ship this to the US? Also, can someone confirm 850 band on their version of the Desire for use with 3G? Their website does not have detailed specifications.:confused:
[Desire General] omniwolf:
the telstra desire is definitely on the 850 band for 3G, it's telstra's wiz bang technology.

as for telstra sending you a mobile overseas, i'd be pretty surprised if they would, i guess you can always ring up and find out yourself.
[Desire General] glyndal:
pretty sure they did for the HD2.
[Desire General] tsanuri:
They will and I have seen posts elsewhere. It will cost full price plus unlocking fees of upto $150. So around $900 seems abit high to me.

I want to open this POOL and please all members answer corectly.

HOW MANY if you will BUY any WinMo or Android Device if there was not comunity like XDA ?

Its True that HTC and Microsoft Without XDA.... are nothing.

Who is trying to make your devices run faster? The Members of XDA

Who is trying to make your device look much better? The Members of XDA

Who is trying always to have UPDATES even when Microsoft and HTC do not release any Software Updates for your Device? The Member of XDA

And this is just example...

I think that HTC and Microsoft need to know all this and minimum they need to buy for each XDA Developer one Bentley.. because if they was not HERE.. Nobody will spend thousend of $$$$ to have one Device without a Support.

And to recive some stupid apps from Windows Marcetplace with 90% of them are useless.​

Is true that have other sites for WinMo Devices and etc But for example

in ppcgeeks do the peoples cook ROMs.. or in MODACO just google all the FIX all the UPDATE and tricks.. are made in XDA and they are post in diferent sitest.

So if was not here XDA what ROM`s and Updates will be posted in all other sitest?

Maybe will pop up one new cooked ROM per YEAR LOL

Only reason why i got my Topaz was because of XDA, without this my phone would be stock and the stock look is dull
[Off-topic] SMS92:
Let's look at it a slightly different way - if ANY modding forums weren't here, would you own a HTC WM device? Though xda is #1 let's just take them all out of the equation.

For me - no, certainly not another WM device. XDA was the reason behind me getting a Hermes and a HD2 after discovering it when I got hold of a Wizard years ago.

If I wanted a device that 'just works', I wouldn't touch WM with a bargepole. Jesus, this is in fact where the iPhone would actually be worth a look. The HD2 is a good compromise for 'works out of the box' but is only complete for me with XDA's input.

HTC and of course Microsoft should be in praise of these boards because I don't think we're in THAT much of a minority. Perhaps there are only a few % of us that flash roms and waste too much time messing with our devices, but I can bet this site gets thousands of hits a day and is THE site to go for for the consumer who's exhausted htc.com's FAQ section and don't fancy putting in a warranty claim.

This site is one of the net's most valuable resources not to mention an absolute GOLDMINE when it comes to smartphones. Finding XDA is like getting lost in a cave then walking into a room of glowing gold treasure. You're not exactly sure what you've discovered at first, but it soon becomes apparent that it's going to bring about some good stuff!

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
You need to install the modified google maps file for use outside of the USA.

The best way of doing this is to install "nav launcher" from the market.

When you open it up it will run through a set up, select "brut maps" and it will prompt you to download.

Then once its all installed your good to go.

From memory you tap the screen twice or something to get it to use street view for nav. Just have to play around with it, try pressing things and see what happens :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Ian_4614:
ok, thanks. I have seen this BRUT maps before, but it just seems like another version of google maps. What do I have to do to use it as a SatNav system then ? PS Thanks for taking the time to educate me,, I am learning though...
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
use the app nav launcher, it lets you input an address then it launches google nav in brut maps for you automatically.

Hi!

I just noticed that when I try to enter a phone number on landscape mode on my ATT Tilt 2 my current top row of characters are actually printing numbers but the numbers on the right side of the panel are not working correctly.

For example 8 and 0 work fine but 3 also does 8 which means somehow my top row is now all numbers which is not right for this version of the phone...

any ideas?

THIS HAS BEEN RESOLVED.
[HD2 General] ashirian:
I installed Swype 3.9 and it worked initially. I can access the menu through keyboard icon. I accidentally uninstalled it because wm7 skin cab I installed didn't work so I was trying to delete that file but instead I deleted Swype program file through file explorer. I know, dumb.

I tried to re-install the swype cab but everytime I try, program file folder doesn't install and the keyboard doesn't appear nether does keyboard menu. I have no idea why it doesn't install program file folder. Anyone have any idea to my problem? Anything can help.

Thanks!!
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
Let me know which one works best.
[HD2 General] ashirian:
i tried both of them, but still doesn't work. I think the problem is either me unable to delete the program completely so the re installing program can't install the cab fully.

The program appears in application list as"swype-inc" but still doesn't create "Swype" folder in Program File listing in File Explorer. I don't know if that's the reason why the keyboard doesn't appearing

Hope that make sense.
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
Download PIM backup or whatever you use to backup your phone and save your contacts, messages, and whatever you need. Then do a hardset.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:

Sounds like your registry is corrupted.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
MemMaid is a 3rd-party app that helps clean memory among other things...one of the features it claims it has is the ability to clean out the remnants of bad uninstalls...give it a shot and see if it clears out the old crap so you can fully install it again. Cab is attached, I think it's a trial version (time-limited).
[HD2 General] ashirian:
I never done hard reset before. What does it affect? Would hard reset make all the programs currently installed in the device go away? or does it reset to original factory configuration? How about stuff in SD card? does it affect any data in the SD card as well?
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
It doesn't mess with your storage cards data one bit. You'll go completely back to stock on your phone like the day you bought it. Backup your contacts and what not using myphone or any other backup program you want. PIM Backup worked best for me.

__________________________________________________________

How to perform a HardReset

Hard Resetting deletes ALL personal data and settings and restores your phone to factory default conditions as if you turned on the phone for the first time after purchasing.

1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.

2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:

"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel."

3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.

4. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
[HD2 General] ashirian:
First of all, Thanks for all the advices guys.

I did the hard reset. I installed the swype cab file and it says it was successfully installed then did the soft reset. Unfortunately it didn't work. I have no idea why but holding the keyboard icon won't show the swype menu....:confused: I'm so lost..... is this mean my hd2 is ruined for swype usage?

For some reason, after the hard reset, things are little different from when I turned HD2 for the first time... odd:confused:
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
This is the last cab I've got for swype. It's a long shot but give it a try.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
Wait. You did a hard-reset and Swype wasn't already available?

What ROM are you running then? 'Cause all of 'em I've seen had Swype pre-installed.

If you did a true hard-reset, you should have to install Swype...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostinbeta:
So, I was wondering with the HTC Incredible out for Verizon right now, would it be easier to port Sense over from that to the N1 than from the Desire since they share many of the same parts? I know the Desire port is almost fully functional, but missing some things, would the same occur with the port from the Incredible. Or does it matter that it's CDMA?

I would love to have Sense on my Nexus, but these questions are moreso just me trying to get my head around how this port thing works.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkavat:
N1 has more things in common with desire than incredible.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twadds:
Aside from a few minor hardware differences (physical buttons, no noise cancelling mic) the desire is basically the same phone as the N1 but with different software and a non unlockable bootloader.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S_Dot:
you should be saying HD2 port to incredible or visaversa
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
It would be more difficult since the N1 is closer to the Desire than the Incredible. Also, the Desire rom has already been available for months.

Why not try the Desire rom that's available now?

Starting from square 0 on Incredible would mean a port that's less functional than the Desire rom for at least many months.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostinbeta:
Good info to know. I have no idea why I thought the Incredible was closer than the Desire... me being stupid apparently...lol. And I do plan on trying the Desire port, my N1 just arrived today. I will keep it stock for a bit just to make sure it doesn't have any of those pesky issues that can be fixed via warranty, but I'll get the itch to root and ROM it soon enough. My FUZE didn't last very long before I did so... I doubt this will either...haha.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PacoL250:
Though I do wonder, if the Incredible's version of Sense is a newer/updated version of the UI, then would we expect to see those changes implemented in the Desire? Hence making another version of the ROM closer to what the Incredible has.

I'm assuming somebody will release the Incredible ROM more to make the current Sense ROM better.

Just a guess...
[HD2 General] PeterGuru:
I think this may be a completely new question.

I DO NOT use HTC Sense. I don't like it, and I much prefer designing my own Today screen.

Here's my problem, or request, for that matter.

I much prefer the calendar in Sense, rather than the old Windows-style calendar. Is it possible to get the Sense calendar when NOT using Sense? Do they use the same calendar.exe? If so, then I guess it's probably not possible. If the one in Sense uses a different executable, then perhaps I could just target my shortcut that THAT program.

Any comments?

Thank you,

Peter

Same here. Contacts too.
[Desire General] yurikg:
If, like me, you bought your Desire from someone who was selling it as an unwanted (T-mobile) upgrade, you may be pleasantly surprised to see the following answer from HTC UK to my question of whether it was covered by manufacturer warranty:

--Me: "I've just bought a new HTC Desire from a private seller who had upgraded to the handset via t-mobile. The phone was new and I have since upgraded OTA to the latest official HTC ROM. I have the proof of purchse/upgrade document, but wanted to confirm that the handset is covered by the 2 year HTC warranty?"

--HTC: "The warranty is with the handset and not the person. So long as you have proof of purchase / upgrade document this will be fine.

If you have any further questions or queries then please do not hesitate to contact me.

Best regards,

HTC"
[Desire General] Bandare:
so basically, anyone with a tmobile handset can switch to the generic rom and not lose warranty?
[Desire General] yurikg:
it seems so
[Desire General] cez10:
your probably right, however i think that, if you experience any problems you will have to contact HTC, not t-mob.
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
no, that is not what it means.

What it means is that the warranty is transferred to whoever you sell the phone to as long as you give them the original receipt/delivery document.

the support person did not read your email properly and did not notice the 'i have upgraded to the HTC ROM' part.

you try and claim it and they'll just refuse.
[Desire General] yurikg:
Yes - it's a manufacturer's warranty and as I'm not with T-mobile I would have to send it to HTC.
[Desire General] yurikg:
How do you know?

Why would changing to the HTC Rom invalidate an HTC warranty?
