I've flashed my GSM Touch Pro to Captain's Special WM 6.5 ROM which I like very much but I really miss the phone keypad layout soft-keyboard that HTC provided with WM 6.1 (ABC on one key, DEF then next etc combined with T9)

The current WM 6.5 rom had the HTC Touch soft full keyboard but I find it hard to type accurately on especially on the move.

Is there anyway of enabling/installing the phone keypad layout?

Thanks!

I haven't had my hd2 for too long so im still on stock rom if that helps any. i recently deleted ny mobi tv app by mistake. i then re downloaded it from this very forum. it installed, k restarted my phone and all was well. when i open the app i can view a channel if i hurry or i get an update message. there's no other option but to update or exit. the problem is, overtime i update and restart my phone and go to the app,it like automatically disables my 3g and says that i should enable ny connection in order to start the initial setup. any way to get it to stop asking for the update? or to stop the app from disabling my 3g? thanks for reading help would be appreciated. *by the way, sorry for the lack of some spaces. i just typed this on my hd2. i think the space bar should be more sensitive than the other keys

thanks for the quick reply anyway!! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androcheck:
just FYI: as I noticed in logcat trace output:

It seems that the underlying problem for this widely noticed problem simply were wrong filesystem permissions on the "lib" directory within the data directory of applications.

This prevented the installer from deleting/updating the *.so file(s). And it seems that the installer is so dumb to show a "not enough space" error every time it cannot write to the filesystem (even if it cannot write because of missing permissions).

The problem affected only applications which include native shared libraries (*.so files) which are placed in this "lib" directory (like "Handcent SMS", "Better Terminal Emulator Pro", "aTilt 3D Labyrinth", ..)

Hi

I'm looking for an app similar to wavesecure. So far I've found,

Mobile Defence (USA only unfortunately), iTag, PEST and Lookout.

Does anyone have any experience of these? I'm hoping Mobile Defense launches globally soon

Hey guys,

first i have to apologize for my english :(

I have a HTC Magic 32A (TIM-Version, Italy) with the "newest" rom for it (1.5^^ with Sense) and a few problems.

It seems to me that one basic-config is broken. I didn´t have usb or sdcard or bluetooth or sync until i followed that "tutorial". Yes i know, that the linked topic is about a hero and not a magic, but some things worked for me too ;)

After entering this command in fastboot-ruu-mode:

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

the phone is recognizing sdcard and also with usb-debugging activated, i can connect my phone to pc. But sync, bluetooth and few little things don´t work.

I have:

and i want to do the "fastboot oem eraseconfig"-command for resetting my device fully. Or do you have any other things for me that will help me?

[Desire General] Maxwell Smart:
I've just upgraded to a Desire coming from a Touch HD (Dutty Holy Grail) and have to say that first impressions are not great. Seriously thinking about returning it but interested to hear other people's experience.

So far moaning about the following problems - well more inconveniences:

- keyboard too jumpy

- can't call contact directly from email

- no hardware button to end call - pain when leave a voice message as need to turn phone on, unlock it and then end call.

- double syncs everything (on exchange server) so that appointment entries appear twice in calendar

- the home screen apps are kind of useless as you basically need to launch the full app to be able to do anything (ie email or sms)

- sms messaging doesn't tell you how many letters you have left

- no messaging in facebook

- headphone volume quiet (and that's with in ear headphones where on my HD I had the volume set to 1!)

- battery life atrocious in comparison. charged my phone last night and had a full charge before going to bed and when I woke up it was at 30%. no wifi or bluetooth on.

Will persevere another few days to make sure that I'm not just a grumpy old fart who hates change.... :)
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Take it back then. And my sms shows how many letter i have left.
[Desire General] Aitese:
I'll answer some of your points because a few are valid.

Could you elaborate on calling from emails? You mean the phone picking up that you have a number stored for a contact and allowing you to dial them? I've tried this and it works. You need to be using the HTC mail client, not the Gmail one.

"no hardware button to end call - pain when leave a voice message as need to turn phone on, unlock it and then end call."

I couldn't reproduce this use case at all. Your screen locks while you're in a call? A SHORT call too? Or are you just positing a use case you THINK could happen? The screen goes blank when you raise it to your ear and turns back on when you take it away...what you describe can't happen.

If you've got double syncing then there's a configuration error. Elaborate. How did you set it up? Are you syncing with your work email or a webmail account?

The home screen "apps" are not apps, they're widgets, and function like every other widget I've ever seen, they just give info and limited functions. You wanted to send email FROM a widget?!

"sms messaging doesn't tell you how many letters you have left"

Mostly because text limits have all but disappeared. Does your provider still cap you? You should get a new provider.

Your device is still new...you need a few charging cycles to get the battery at full potential.

The other issues are pretty spot on...the keyboard I'm used to now though. Trust the predictive text.
[Desire General] Zappza:
1. I have never seen that feature before. Would definitely be handy.

2. That annoys me too, but I guess it's just a matter of getting used to it.

3. Use a replacement SMS app. Handcent is my favorite.

4. Blame Facebook for that. They won't allow it, even in their official app which is stupid.

5. Strange, I have the impression that the headphone volume is quite loud.

6. You might have an application running in the background which is draining the battery and keeping the phone awake. See related threads in this forum for more info.
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
keyboard - Like all keyboards, it takes time to get used to. Trust the autocomplete feature and you'll be surprised. Best soft keyboard I've ever used.

Yes, you can call directly from email. Just tap the sender and their contact card will open which includes the option to call them.

No hardware call buttons - It's an inconvenience but you knew they weren't there before you bought it.

Exchange sync issue - Maybe something with your settings? I have it synced with Google's Exchange server with no problems.

Widgets - Yes, I share your opinion on many of the widgets. You might as well just launch the main application. They are pretty to look at though...

SMS - Perhaps download a 3rd party SMS application?

Facebook - no comment. I don't use it.

Headphone volume - I read here that some carriers limit the max volume on their devices. Perhaps they did that to yours? My device's max volume is pretty deafening.

Battery life - If you read reviews, you'll know that battery life is not impressive. But do give it several charge cycles and sync your data as conservatively as possible. You might find the battery life to be acceptable.
[Desire General] O and O:
OUCH! Headshot! Be gentle it;s a new device ...

... Ok moving on ...

Actually don't worry been beaten ...
[Desire General] Aitese:
Like I said, the keyboard issue is just that you will need time to get used to it.

If you have a contact saved with a number and email and they send you mail, you will see their picture in the corner...tap it. You will get a speech bubble type box pop up that has the option to phone them, send them a message (text or email) or go to their contact card. Make sure you've merged your contacts. It won't work if you have a separate contact card for their phone details and then another for their email.

Again...is SMS length an issue still for people? I've not thought about those arbitrary 140 character limits since my first Motorola Wings flip phone.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Compared to my HD2 the Desire's keyboard is a DREAM to use - HD2 was skitty as hell and all over the shop. Desire's never misses a key and can type a LOT quicker on it personally...

Never bothered to know number of characters left in an SMS, doesn't bother me

Battery life, with all sync options on default, is about 48hrs give or take an hour...

Double sync IS annoying but I don't sync with Google anymore so got rid of that...

Facebook app, don't care about messaging as my phone is to keep up-to-date, PC is to contact...

Not bothered about hardware key for end call, call ends when you press the BIG red button at the end of a call (don't need to unlock or anything first)

Headphones - don't use them as phone isn't a music player to me, it's a phone
[Desire General] gogol:
1. Get used to it, you will be fine. I moved from HTC Kaiser with hardware keyboard and I found the HTC Desire virtual keyboard is very good and responsive.

2. No idea, but as several posts above, you actually can do it.

3. You should know this already before purchase.

4. No idea

5. Widget is nice, this is unique to Android. You dont have to use it if you dont like. Then put app shortcut in the home screen, typical winmo thingy.

6. Use other messaging client like Hancent

7. Blame Facebook :) Or use Nimbuzz / Fring!

8. Check your settings, my battery life is amazing, on moderate usage it could last more than 48 hours (this include several hours (2-3) a day browsing on WiFi and gaming).

RE: battery life

I charged mine to 100% last night, took it off charge at 1am, woke up at 8:20 am, checked my phone....98% !!

[Desire General] Maxwell Smart:
Thanks for the comments. Proves I'm a grumpy old fart! lol

Some good replies which I will investigate further.

Aitese - your comment about the screen going black and then turning back on when you remove it from your ear... is there a light sensor setting? as mine stays black until i tap power button unless i am talking to an actual person (rather than machine) and they hang up first.

Syncing is being done with a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. But I think I may have just solved issue as it appears to sync both with my laptop and the server without realising they are showing the same appointments. Just too used to MS ActiveSync which works it out.

The keyboard is still bugging me - have tried to train it using the calibrate option but still seems off. That is the top row of keys that I push match up but when i go to the second last row it always hits the last row which being space and punctuation tends to terminate the word.

Anyhow will persevere. Appreciate everyone indulging a grumpy old codger...

:)
[Desire General] Maxwell Smart:
great tip thanks - will look for that app.
[Desire General] Aitese:
If you hold the phone under a bright light you'll see the sensors in the top left corner of the black bezel. To test it, make a call and then move your thumb over the top left corner and then away again...the screen should turn off when your thumb gets near and turn back on shortly after you move away. Call your voicemail box or customer service

BetterKeyboard plus the accompanying DarkGray theme is by far the best Android keyboard out there. HTC_IME (i.e. the HTC keyboard you're hating on) seems to be well thought of in the community but I personally hate it and think BetterKeyboard wipes the floor with it.
[Desire General] snapilica2003:
A few thoughts

- I just want to add a few thing giving that I also came from an HD. Compared to the HD which only had a light sensor, the Desire also comes with a proximity sensor that monitors if you have your ear close to the phone regardless of light (on the HD the screen only turned off if it was day and it could actually sense a difference in light).

If you make a call and put your phone to your ear it turns the screen off WITHOUT locking it, and when you want to terminate a call by taking it from your ear it will turn on again but not locked.

The phone locks itself only it you don't activate the proximity sensor (like when you are using a bluetooth headset and you don't take to phone to your ear). When that happenes the screen turns off after 15 seconds and yes, if you turn it on then it will be locked.

- Why do you want a hardware button for call and end? The capacitive screen with the combination of the proximity sensor makes them useless?

-Another thing i can chip in is related to the sms thing. The default SMS app shows you the number of characters left and the number of messages already typed when you are nearing the end of a message.

It shows that above the send button. If you have less the 10 characters available in that message it'll show 10/1 above the send button, and it will decrease and then turn into 145/2 saying that you have 145 characters left untill reaching 2 messages. After that it'll stay on and counting without dissapearing, until you send the message.

I find this to be a goog feature because it only warns me if i exceed one SMS.

[Desire General] snudel:

[Desire General] rovex:
Yeah the keyboard issue is due to the resistive v capacitive screens. The resistive screens need a good push, the capacitive ones need a slight touch. You get used to it.

[Desire General] OnlinePredator:
Without any data connection, no syncing, no gps, screen light at 60%, only phone calls and SMS's, I got 3 and a half days. I didn't use any Juice Defender or anything, just stock rom. Made (according to phone logs) 1 hr 52 mins of calls, sent 28 sms, received 32 sms. I also watched 2x22 min long tv episodes using earphones and played Air Control for roughly 1 hour.

If I enable a data connection, sync every hour, do some web browsing and market browsing/download, listen to music, play a game or two, it lasts a day with around 30-40% battery left when I hit the sac.
[Desire General] david_inuk:
This was driving me nuts too. not while using the phone normally, the proximity sensor wakes the screen up when it is removed from your ear. But using it in the car was a nightmare! To finish a call I had to press power to wake the screen up again and then had to fiddle with the touchscreen.

Earlier today I realised that pressing down on the "touchpad" button did exactly what I needed!

Once I'm used to it, I might even really like it! Right now the only reason I like the phone is because I can NP longer send it back! But I am warming to it! Slowly!

[Desire General] OnlinePredator:
Huh? Who hangs up the phone while it's on their ear? I always take a phone from my ear then hang up and maybe briefly look at the screen.... I say good bye, remove phone from ear, screen turns on automagically, press end call, done.

P.S you shouldn't be calling people while driving....

I also think the title of this thread should have been: "I am having trouble adjusting to my new awesome phone, can someone help me?"
[Desire General] chris5304:
ex HD user

I've found it takes a bit of getting used to but it is a much better experience once you do.

The phone call screen on off thing - what happened to me initially was that the screen came on for about 2 seconds when I moved the phone away from my ear and then went blank again. This wasn't long enough to hit the red end button and so I got quite frustrated with it. I found that this was caused by my holding the phone at the top and, I assume, obscuring the proximity sensor so that it blanked the screen again. If I hold the phone in the centre instead it works fine.

I also found the keyboard difficult, it is very different from the HD due to the capacitive screen. It is important to calibrate it (and re-calibrate it as you get used to the different screen and your typing style changes). The predictive text is pretty good, I never used that on the HD so this is a different method as well. The trackball moves you back and forward within the text but again at first I couldn't get this to work at all. It seems fine now.

I think a lot of these annoyances are caused by the significant difference between the screens and because, like me, you were probably very used to your HD.

I would recommend persevering!
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
I agree with all below points. I get 2 - 3 days battery life with moderate use. calls/texts/surfing/camera. I cannot believe you went to bed with phone fully charged and woke up with 30% charge. Something is not right with that.

Ever since getting this phone and coming across the amazing variety of apps freely available that perfectly suit my usages, I must say I've started using this phone as my UMPC and AIO replacement as well as the basic phone usage. Except that it's with me all the time so usage is now consistent throughout the day and whenever my eye awakes at night (I use Kaloer Clock for time too). Hence the battery demand has increased drastically compared to my previous phones. Many orders of magnitude higher. With the amount I get done with it, the battery life is excellent.
