The HTC Desire is a very good choice!
[Off-topic] Mr. Clown:
Desire is a sense of longing for a person or object or hoping for an outcome. The same sense is expressed by emotions such as "craving" or "hankering". When a person desires something or someone, their sense of longing is excited by the enjoyment or the thought of the item or person, and they want to take actions to obtain their goal. The motivational aspect of desire has long been noted by philosophers; Hobbes (1588–1679) asserted that human desire is the fundamental motivation of all human action.

I really desire a HTC Desire....and I see that your friend Pilot too...so tell him go for it!:D

Stereo Speakers (it's about 5 times louder than the desire)

MP3 Player Buttons (it actually feels like a good MP3 player)

Better battery life (only because it's not a touch screen device)

Better camera (used to be one of the best actually)

Has expandable storage memory

Has a lot of RAM

A desire is a logical upgrade, but your friend is going to miss the phone that used to have the best speakers in the world.

Guys,

Just taken delivery of my first Android handset - nice to be back on here, spent years on here when I ran WM! Anyway, I've been looking for and haven't found an app that'll let me wake the phone by pressing any button, rather than just the power button. Seen stuff for WM, but not Android.

Can anyone help?

[Desire Themes and Apps] marvi0:
to be honest having used the htc hero I was always getting frustrated cause everytime I took out the phone from my pocket I found it had unlocked cause the minute you pressed any of the home search , menu buttons the phone would unlock and it could then even make unwanted phone calls but as for the desire it only wakes when u press the power button which I think is great just my own opinion.
[Desire Themes and Apps] luminouche:
Try this one on the market :

http://apps.doubletwist.com/No-Lock/-2216879159323801559

When you'll hit any key, no more "slide to unlock", phoen wake up direct to home screen
[Desire Themes and Apps] SammyBoyWonder:
Having used the HD2 I too miss this feature. Not necessarily pressing a key to unlock the device, but simply to bring up the 'drag down to unlock' screen.
[Desire Themes and Apps] redrazr7791:
Here is this one also - http://apps.doubletwist.com/Screen-ON-widget/6251491150679267019

These 2 apps replace the need to "slide-to-unlock", but wouldn't you still have to press down the "power" button to actually turn on the screen?

I too have found this a little annoying. I think this may be a feature that can be changed once rooting of the phone starts.

Sort of like re-mapping the hardware buttons to where all you have to do is hit the trackpad or MENU button to activate the screen.
[Desire Themes and Apps] redrazr7791:
Application like this?

http://apps.doubletwist.com/HeroKey-(root)/1990841848356448722

No this would be interesting to possibly get for the Desire. Allows you to remap the hardware buttons. Too bad it is -

1 - For the Hero

2 - Requires root

:mad:

After pressing the power key, mine unlocks by pressing just the menu button as well, FWIW.

that's a bonus, thanks.

what would be even nicer would be if the screen woke up (to lockscreen is fine) on a press of any hardware button. guess it'll need root.
[Desire Themes and Apps] marcel_miller:
just figured out how i am using 2 programs one is nolock and seccond is Widget Locker. nolock wakes up the phone with any key and by default unlocks the phone BUT if you have Widget Locker installed it prevents from unlocking so that way you have your phone with any-button wake and still locked,tested with my LG 2x ,first app is lightweight and dont consume much battery.. i dont know if i made my self clear im italian email me if you want the link or any question

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] RedRamage:
So, I'm looking at getting a new smartphone through my work. Unfortunately I'm locked with Verizon, which is usually a slow adopter of new phones AND my work is a slow adopter of new Verizon phones, so I'm sorta double-whammied. My current phone is dying, so I need to upgrade now and seeing as it would likely be a year at the earliest before any Windows7 phones would be available for me I'm looking at upgrading now.

The TP2 is one device that I can get. I'm very familiar with Windows Mobile 6.1, so this has an appeal. But I have some questions.

Does anyone know if the GPS is "unlocked" out of the box? I'd like to use some GPS programs other than VZNavigator and I'm wondering if I need to install a custom ROM first.

Will a new TP2 device now be installed with 6.5 or will I need to upgrade? Can someone give me a quickie run down of 6.5 vs. 6.1?

How's the Battery life of the TP2? I'm a heavy power user so I want to make sure I can get through a day without charging.

Lastly, I _might_ be able to get a Droid. I've never used Android before, but I have to say that I'm tempted. Anyone have an opinion? Is the Droid a lot better? Is it worth trying to push for the Droid?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] burtonsnow8:
aGPS works out of the box, you need to make sure to use the Quick GPS tool to update the satellite though. There are some free navigation programs but I've heard they sometimes do not choose the most logical route. Garmin, Tom Tom, and other paid GPS programs should work as well.

The new VZW phone comes with 6.5 as far as I have seen lately. One ordered off their website in early April came with 6.5. Here is a post with everything you'll need to know about all windows 6 versions, 6.1 vs 6.5 will be down towards the bottom more: http://www.modaco.com/content/i9x0-...m/299717/com-branches-explained/#entry1153714

The phone can make it through a full day of usage in most scenarios. I would say unless you talk 3+ hours and run GPS, 3g/wifi, and multiple programs ALL day you should be fine. If not there are extended batteries you can purchase (although the phone is already big enough as it is).

In my opinion Android is a great OS, motorola is not my favorite phone manufacture, but beyond that it is still a nice device. It is slightly more responsive than the TP2. The keyboard is much more cramped and the top row is difficult to get use to. It doesn't quite replicate the desktop feel I get when I use WM. I can't give a real in depth break down because I've only messed with them a couple times.

Hope that helps your decision a little.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
I have a coworker a few desks away from mine who has a Droid, and we often pass the time with a few heated rounds of "yeah, but can yours do this??" LOL Neither of us has done much to convince the other that our phone is better (his Droid vs my TP2)....but, the one thing he openly admits he wishes he had was the MUCH better hardware keyboard that I enjoy all day long :D

In fact, I suspect that once a fully-working version of android appears on the TP2, he'll be finding a way to sell his droid, and join the ranks of the HTC fans
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] RedRamage:
Thank you both. I appreciate the info!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
I'm pretty satisfied with 6.1, though I use SPB Mobile Shell for my UI. Though I can't give you a run down, having not used 6.5, the only feature I've come across yet that I actually want is a reg entry for the keyboard backlight. Also, last I checked Office Mobile 2010 is 6.5 only. Once OneNote Mobile 2010 is out, I'll probably bite the bullet and upgrade.

Personally I'd avoid the Droid. If I didn't need a better hardware keyboard than that, I'd probably get a Nexus One and use the on screen keyboard. Cramping the keys that close together with minimal key differentiation... I honestly don't know what the point of that was. Another nice thing about the Nexus One is you get OS updates straight from Google. No waiting on VZW and no fragmentation concerns.

Choosing the TP2 instead means being outdated in terms of power but having marvelous levels of interface comfort. I'm already plotting trying to find a similarly sized android snapdragon that I can somehow transplant into my TP2's casing. It's probably impossible, but it is super comfortable. I'll just have to dual boot and pretend I don't mind the ancient guts.

I've never heard the battery life described as anything other than average. Although the CPU is slow, the newer faster processors also come with new power-saving tech it doesn't have, so a nice snapdragon will go longer on the same battery capacity (though most snappys come with a smaller capacity battery stock). I'm actually using my VZW TP2 as a PDA right now, typically with all radios off, so my usage couldn't inform you. If you're a heavy power user, average might not do it. You can get a 1700ish mah battery that fits in the existing casing, or up to a 3500mah battery that requires a new battery cover if that suits you. Alternatively you can get a charger that charges both your phone and a spare battery simultaneously and swap as necessary.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ekimmik:
Since this is posted in the TP2 sections, you'll get biased results, same as if you were to post this on the Droid forums. I have a Droid and my girlfriend has a Tilt 2. My Droid is rooted with AdamZ 2.1 Android and overclocked; the thing is lightning fast. My girlfriends Tilt 2 has been custom cooked with EnergyROM Sense 2.5 and have also installed Android to test it out.

Performance wise, the Droid is faster, much faster if overclocked; it was a huge performance upgrade for me since my previous phone was a Samsung Omnia i910 with a cooked WM 6.5 rom. There is virtually no noticeable lag between scrolling screens and opening apps. Her Tilt 2 was fairly slow out of the box loaded with AT&T bloatware, she even complained to me about the phone being laggy. However, it is noticeably faster since installing the cooked rom.

I know Android is still in it's beta phases for the TP2, but it's still fairly buggy, many of the apps don't function correctly and eventually gave up on using it.

If apps are a big thing for you, I'd stick with Android, as there are many more fun apps, many of them free. With the Windows Marketplace, many apps are merely trial or lite versions, an example being Shazam, which is free on Android, but limited to 10 uses on Windows. I'm not sure if it's just Microsoft's doing or what. Also, the Droid has Google Navigation, which is arguably the best GPS for a phone, and is completely free. I've even thought about selling my Garmin 265WT since I barely use it anymore.

As for the keyboard, the Tilt 2 is clearly better, but I've never had any problems typing on the Droid, which many people complain about. I type with the tips of my thumbs, so that may make a difference. Battery life is pretty much the same, which can last about a day or two depending on usage.

All in all, I'm happy with my decision and when I asked my girlfriend which phone she preferred, she picked mine, but the for her it was between an iPhone and a Tilt 2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
I actually disagree, especially considering the responses thus far. There's plenty of Android love in this thread, but I'd wager there'd be little WinMo love in a droid thread. I think TP2 users are dramatically more aware and more willing to admit to their device's weaknesses than users of more popular phones.

I'm not so sure how rampant malware and viruses are when we download apps, open email, etc. Is there a real need to install an anti-virus app for our device? If so, which do you recommend. Of course, freeware is always better.

[HD2 General] CDurham221:
i used a gadget guard on mine, just the screen not the full body. got it off ebay shipped for 7 bucks and showed up in 2 days for an extra buck or so you can get a car charger with it as well. i like the gadget guard cause it goes around the buttons on the bottom. a lot of the other ones stop near the buttons. if put on right you will see no ripples theres only a little spot that i had to peel back to get some junk out from under the protector. when i layed it back down it only shows slight orange peel if looked at on a angle.

I need to write an app to run on Windows CE .net 4.2. I would like to get platform builder for Windows CE .net 4.2, but it doesn't seem to be available on the microsoft site. Can someone help me find it?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] stephj:
It is not the .net that was 4.2, it was the version of CE. This appeared as WM 2003 and WM 2003 SE. The .NET compact framework for the machines was 1.0 or 1.1.

To test the app in an emulator use the standalone emulator. Now at version 3.0

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...AF-12E3-4B2F-A394-356E2C2FB114&displaylang=en

The WM 2003 SE images for it are here

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...b5-f2a2-47d7-a41d-825fd68ebb6c&displaylang=en

To write .net 1.0 and 1.1 WM apps you will need VS2003 PRO.

VS 2005 and VS 2008 can be forced to create .net 1.0/1.1 executable images but it's a total pain in the ...., you have to hack the build files to get it to work.

For C++ Win32, AFC or MFC you can use the free version of EVC 4.0

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...3D-50D1-41B2-A107-FA75AE960856&displaylang=en

Dont forget to apply SP4 to it after install. (Same page, use the link at the bottom)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] DeepBound:
Thank you very much for the help!

How about modifying the BSP or kernel, which version of tool would you use for that?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] stephj:
For that you will require the CE 4.2 Platform Builder package. Microsoft pull superceded versions off their site, the current version is for CE 6.0

The evaluation version works fully for six months then you have to licence it.

Search in Google for "CE Platform Builder 4.2". Some non Microsoft sites may have a copy of it, but some of these sites could also be of a rather dubious nature. i.e warez peer-to peer file sharing etc.

The documentation for it can be found here

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhariak:
Hey guys,

For the longest time I've been on Fido with a unlocked (direct from sony X1a). I've never had any problems with it at all. Everything worked flawless.

Recently I setup a corporate plan with Rogers. Ended up getting a bunch of Xperia X1s at a discounted rate since I signed a 3 year on a swack of lines...

Anyways I got the Xperias, turns out Rogers like to charge for VPN access. I added it to all the devices.

After setting up the VPN.com apn on the new rogers (rogers firmware) Xperia X1s, I noticed that everything worked except simple web page browsing (in both browsers). No errors, just loaded completely blank pages. When changing apn back to internet.com everything worked fine.

From this behavior I went ahead and checked the config on the device, no proxies were configured anywhere.

I asked the Rogers guy, currently it's bumped up to Tier 2 support and noone knows anything, they denied any "hidden proxies".

I'm now waiting for a call back from Tier 2 to further troubleshoot the issue. While I've waiting, I went ahead and started fishing through the registry. I found a bunch of very odd registry entries pertaining to proxies...

After removing these "odd" proxy registry keys, all of a sudden I can now use web browsing without ANY issues.

Does anyone know exactly how many registry keys are affected? Isn't this a huge security hole? Who is looking at the proxy info?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leobg:
I had posted about this very same matter about an year ago. No matter how much they deny hidden proxies, they are in place. Interestingly enough - they are not mandatory, but are enforced for Windows Mobile Rogers phones. After hitting the wall pretty much on everything I tried (and no responses here on XDA either), I ended up installing generic US rom (no need of HardSPL or anything), where you can bypass connection wizard and set connection settings manually (wizard is the thing that messes up things and makes VPN.com useless). On the stock Rogers rom there is no way you can bypass connection wizard.

Once you set everything manually, there is no problem whatsoever with using vpn.com except for rogers.mobi page not being able to recognize you and provide account information (not hugely important to me, at all..).

So what happens is you turn the Rogers branded X1a into unbranded X1a (like your original one) and viola - everything works :) (as long as you don't use connection wizard to setup the connections)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhariak:
thanks for the response!

After removing those 4 registry keys it's working like a charm!

So I don't need to HardSPL the phone to install the latest X1a US rom? I do alot of crazy stuff with WM phones, but I never eff with the hardware (as I usually always buy unlocked phones).

By the way, with the auto-config, if you go into settings, then connections, and goto the auto-config program, the "menu" on the bottom right you can hit, and then uncheck "Enable auto config" and it stops it from populating the typical rogers settings on every boot.

I used it to configure MMS, and internet, then disable auto-config (left the existing settings), changed the apn from internet.com to vpn.com then removed the registry settings mentioned above, and all is good :)

I still am thinking about maybe going to the generic firmware though as it is slightly a newer version. Anyone know any differences?

One thing I want to mention is the interwebz (spelling is a joke) is WAY effin faster using rogers phone on rogers network. Fido was HORRIBLE compared to this.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhariak:
Just curious, how would you install the Generic US firmware WITHOUT SPL?

Thanks

Unable to start. Exit some running applications and try again.

I haven't been able to figure this out, its been this way since forever, now the camera does work if I just turn on the phone and start it up straight away. As soon as I close the camera thats what I get. Nothing appears to be running other than the usual stuff, the today screen for instance, but no applications.

Now do take note I have no micro sd card in the phone at the moment, do you think that could be the problem. Don't see how though.

I haven't really changed much on the phone since getting it but add some pannels. Its been unlocked with HARD SPL, as the phones from Singapore and I'm in New Zealand. Hm, any help more than welcome its really a pain.
