[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitealien:
They never said that ROM 2.1 will be released on 16th. I don't know where you get that.

1st they said they will release 2.1 ROM upgrades in March. When March came they said that due to some technical issues we have to wait till mid April for release.

So now it is mid April and some tech guy says it will be released at the end of the month. Guess what, at the end of month they will say that it will be released in mid May.

Did you get the game rules now ? They want as to buy their new Incredible phone!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
The 16th was on a schedule that was leaked a moth or so ago.

But it should never have been believed anyway.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
mainly because of... where did that "leak" come from? i mean it is as easy as this:

see? it is not gonna happen tomorrow because i claim it. as long as it isn't a *ruu*.exe file i don't believe anything anymore...

edit: lol, now wait for the five threads that will be created quoting the above ;)

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyods:
I think you didn't put enough exclamation marks in your original enquiry for them to take you seriously. And if I were you, I'd sue that guy who promised you update on April 16th again and again. Uh wait. Nobody promised that. Nevermind then.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anarchyuk:
Imagine having to man the email response section at HTC for the Hero with all the plums emailing you asking every 10 mins when the 2.1 update will be out!

I wonder how high the internal window jumper rate is... or forced handset in throat related deaths in the HTC office..
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wooky321:
I also emailed them and they said the android 2.1 updates will be coming out starting at the end of april including for your HTC hero :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Dark Side:
I don't buy that as it makes little sense. It would hardly increase sales figures for the new devices at all. Most cellphone owners are locked into a contract which means if they want to upgrade before it's renewal time they have two choices.....wait, or pay over the odds to do so.....almost everyone (except die hard early adopters who are an extremely small percentage of owners) chooses the first option.

Then you have the fact that the newer handsets have better hardware and software, and all the ROM upgrades in the world won't change the hardware, so who in their right mind is going to choose an older phone knowing they'll have to mess about and upgrade it when they can just go get the shiny new model for free on another contract?

For all we (I) know, the delays could be due to more tweaks needed to make the ROM run at an acceptable level on handsets that have an inferior hardware spec than those that it was originally designed for.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immya:
the delays are mostly due because the htc servers couldnt possibly support all desire, hero and legend updates at the same time, thats why they are rolling ou the updates slowly, starting with the desire network providers, then the legend probably and finally the hero
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orionscrest:
I know this is not true as I and many of my friends are not on contracts (actually can only think of 1 who is) and prefer to buy outright as to upgrade as we see fit, and change service provider too. But I do agree with your point, it would not be a way to increase sales, more likely just internal bureaucracy is the cause for the set back.

Seriously people, there's a little thing called patience. My mother always told me that good things come to those who wait.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Maeffjus:
WTF is a police scanner? You mean a GPS-navigator, which shows you the radar-cam in traffic? Try a look a sygic-mobile maps.

But without any information what "a police-scanner" is and where you have seen this app, the information from your side is very poor....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Hmm.

I think you mean Scanning RF channels, As this isnt part of the HD2 Hardware the answer is no, sorry. Dont think I have heard of any mobile that does...

Only thing I could think of would be streaming via web realtime updates but also never heard of any sites that do it...

So basicly no..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iridium21:
Yep, you can listen to police scanners from around the world with WunderRadio

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Newman180:
I couldn't get wunderradio to work for me, but this is what I did do to FINALLY get a LIVE POLICE SCANNER.

Download http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA032810/

GSPlayer for PocketPC and install it.

Then go to http://m.radioreference.com/?a=la and find the .mp3 stream you like.

Then just copy it into GSplayer. I did this copy and paste way with mymobiler.

It should buffer and then connect.

IF you guys find an easier way please share.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Newman180:
OMG... I'm an idiot. It works with Wunder Radio. Just copy the url into the "OpenURL" and it should connect. For the life of me I didn't see "OPENURL" and was trying to use the search function....

Now we have two ways...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] CuseSniper:
You're looking for an app called WunderRadio... It's kinda no frills, but I can stream internet radio from around the world - and Police Band Frequency is pre-installed for MOST U.S. cities
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jimmy203040:
yeah metta 24 is absolutely correct. my friend with an iphone has an app where you can listen to live police feeds. lol its not illgeal and usually you can get them from the county's website of where one lives. lol some old people listen to live police radio feeds to see if there is trouble in a neighborhood. i just thought it would be nice to have one and i saw it on the iphone
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] juiceppc:
Yeah the iPhone has a couple of these apps. They are pretty cool.

That is one thing I'm going to miss and probably be pissed off about once I make the permanent switch to my HD2 from my iPhone.

The iPhone is the preferred platform to make a mobile app for in the eyes of most businesses. I mean the App store has only been around for a couple years and it has pretty much blown away what WinMo has to offer.

Yes there are a lot of "apps" for WInMo but they are strewn all over the place. If you look in M$ Marketplace under free/utilities there's like 14...

14?! Come on. There are like a few hundred or thousand for iPhone.

Oh well though. The positives still outweigh the negatives for me.

FM Radio

Hi, i am also interested in this, idea being that modding the FM radio to receive not 88-108mhz but say 70-150mhz, i have found reg keys for max_frequency and min_frequency but i don't think that the stock radio application looks at these fields? and i have not found any compatible fm radio application for the HD2. The data-sheet for the BCM4329 specs the device as 76-108mhz but from experience i know this will operate at other frequencies but with degraded performance. I unfortunately have no idea as to the software side of this!

RBS

What a weird idea ?

WHY do you need such an APP ?

D'oh!

So you break into somebody's home and you want to know if there is a silent alarm. How else would you know what time to go, if you didn't have your HD2 Police Radio Frequency Scanner? As soon as you hear

"Random street 7 Random City, There is a break-in ... calling all units to that location ... repeat ... Random street 7 Random City, Break-In in progress."

It's time to RUN.

Turns out, if such an application exists;

Your HD2 can even prevent you from going to jail.

------------------------------------------------

Maybe a little more "Law Obiding Citizen" example:

Its 11pm and you see a police helicopter circling around your area.

Now, you can wait until the next morning newspaper arrives (which may, or may not have what happened) or you can turn on your APP.

NOW YOU KNOW what happened and the next morning, when your neighbours ask you what you think was going on, you can stun them with your detailed knowledge.

Turns out, if such an application exists;

Your HD2 can make you the next "gossip girl" and the most pop on the street.

-----------------------------------------------

Other practical applications include -

24/7 exact weather (as announced from the Flight Weather Broadcasting service)

Plane/Tower communication for a multitude of purposes including taking landing/takeoff pictures of unique/private jets or gov't planes.

So yea - its really worth it, to make such an app.

I believe the proper name for this is a "Radio Band Scanner"

So the name of the app should be RBS HD2

Scanner Radio

_________________________________________________________________

there is an app called scanner radio. BUT ITS ONLY AVAILABLE ON ANDROIDS

A scanner radio allows users to listen to tune in to any transmission from ambulances, fire fighters, coast guard, race car drivers, police, paramedics, choppers, the FBI, and just about any radio frequency that is allowed by the FCC for such devices. Here are a few things you should know about radio scanners.

I can't post links yet so just google scanner radio

Couple days ago, my HD2 did strange behavior, it kept restarting when I was using it and my free storage memory came from 250MB to 98MB o.O (I was using CleanEX HQ Rom with alot of free device storage). Then I've tried to flash another ROM but I still cant get my 2xxMB device storage back, It's like...Im using stock ROM or using but I do using custom roms here.

Im waiting for the PdAir leather flip case to come up, but meanwhile I spotted this for £20. Works for both Desire and N1. What you guys think?

http://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct....rce=google&utm_medium=base&utm_campaign=pound
[Desire Accessories] joe2316:
That looks a good price £20+vat = £23.50

Proporta are charging £30!

-Joe
[Desire Accessories] jannen:
Yes. Not bad at all... not sure if the PdAir one is better... below a sample of one on Ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PDair-Genuine..._PDAsAccessories_PDACases?hash=item335c381f19

I had PDair before - and I do like their quality. The Alu leather one seems to keep the whole screen free from obstruction, which I like...
[Desire Accessories] jah:
The problem with the PDair, like the one for the HD2, is that the leather along the sides of the screen actually make it more difficult to use the touch screen at the edge of the screen. I prefer the Clove case mentioned above and a similar design from Noreve.
[Desire Accessories] n-j-f:
I agree with that. I had a PDAir case on a previous phone and found it did restrict access to the edge of the screen and also to the buttons at the bottom.

On the other hand, I am worried that the Desire Alu Leather flip case does not protect the edges of the phone from other things in the pocket and, even, whether small coins can slip under the cover onto the screen.

I may have to stick with a simple pouch. (But I also like the look of PDAir's Luxury Silicone Case like they make for the Nexus One.) :confused:
[Desire Accessories] jannen:
Good point.. the sides are open, but I think it should cover if it falls on the floor etc. I think I will go for the Prpoporta alu case, but get a screenprotector film as well.
[Desire Accessories] jannen:
Just orderered the Alu-Leather case from Clove. Will let you know when get it and how it feels.
[Desire Accessories] jannen:
Got the Alu Leather flip case today. Looks great!!! Finally I dont have to worry too much about scratching or damaging the phone. It looks stylish with black and inside white leather. It gives access to the headphone jacks and is easy to open quickly to answer calls etc.

Seems keeping the phone sturdy in place and nothing blocking the screen (unlike PdAir).

Will let you know how it feels after couple more days use!!

But looks really stylish!
[Desire Accessories] krader:
Is the stud used to close the cover stands over the screen? I like flip cases, but on most of them the studs is just over the screen, and I'm worried about been able to broke it.
[Desire Accessories] jannen:
The stud.. or magnetic button... stands almost exactly over the optical trackball. But I wouldnt worry at all as the cover is lined with aluminium sheet. Means its well protected from impacts to the front and back of the phone.
[Desire Accessories] DJGibbon:
How much depth would you say it adds to the phone?

Are you able to upload any pics? Would be awesome if you could, particularly one with the stud closed :)
[Desire Accessories] jannen:
Here are few pics... please dont pay attention to all the dust that the flash picked!

It does add little depth to the phone - as does PdAir etc. At least it has a aluminum layer strengthening it, but with the leather its smooth. I got this phone on a 24mth

contract so I want to protect my baby well at least for the first year or so... :)
[Desire Accessories] Philosoma:
Jannen, what is it like taking portrait photos now with the flap at the top? Does it get in the way at all?
[Desire Accessories] jannen:
Just took some pics... just hold the flip with your left hand. To me, no big deal really... and as it was sunny the flip actually blocked the sun reflecting from the screen. But honestly, I think that is personal taste. I prefer flip cases to others as they give some protection if you drop the phone while using it. Slip in ones dont protect if you drop it while using it.

Hi

Been playing with build 23112 with standard 2.53 packages on my Topaz (Touch Diamond 2) and apart from the standard workarounds with scrollbars, callerID etc which I sorted, I am stumped on one thing..

The fonts in some HTC applications, particularly EZinput and some of the phone canvas are displayed in a very heavy font. While this is somewhat cosmetic, it can make some symbols hard to work out.

I have tried replacing system fonts with several cabs available, playing with the Helvetica fonts and reg keys to no avail.

Has anyone got a solution?

Thanks

Craig

Hi,

I haven't tried replacing gwes.exe tbh but in Googling its replacement came up with a fix for an issue with camera fonts so may try that thanks..

Yes, I cook in HTCfontlink, and even tried replacing it with HTCFontlink from the HD Mini ROM but didn't fix it..

Thanks

[Windows Mobile] cruiserrr:
ok, I asked because it sounds to me as if the app is not loaded. maybe you can check the init launchxx and dependxx values to see if it is launched (i asume you also have the htc launcher apps, cant recall the names)
[Windows Mobile] craiglay:
Yeah, I tried launching it manually from the file explorer but that didn't work. Yeah, my ROM is the stock Topaz ROM with the HTC messaging mod and a T9 tweak. All other packages are unchanged.

[edit] Checked, and it has the same init launch and depend values as the stock Topaz packages

[edit2] Just been through the HD Mini ROM dump and found a package that replaces the system fonts :) Its FontGastEnhancement.. May try that!

I have the same issue on the Omnia i900, but for the camera app. Seems most recent non-COM2 and non-COM5 builds are affected.

"EXT1"=multi_sz:".ac3"

Please could you upload pictures or additional details where the bold fonts is solved or not with the GWES.EXE from 23557?

If you try to cook a pure 23557 the bold font problem existing.
[Windows Mobile] craiglay:
Afraid I cant upload pictures, flashed bk to 21887 soon after.

Using GWES.exe from 23557 and 23563 (tried both) solved the bold fonts in HTC apps issue but introduced and issue where the "pivot" tabs in WM apps were not being rendered properly. These are the fancy arrows at the top of say a WM control panel screen. They appear transparent with the labels rendered on top of each other. The navigation still works though, you can swipe around and even touch the bar to navigate but it just gets more messed up..

I believe flashing a whole ROM of 23557 works fine as there are loads of examples and not many font complaints.
