This.

If you are looking for the almighty Harbinger of Windows Mobile, the one device that shows all the other pretenders that HTC is a force to be reckoned with, the HD2 is currently that device.

The Telstra HD2 T9193 works perfectly with AT&T 850MHz HSDPA. I get a solid H signal all day long. If your heart is set on Windows Mobile and performance, it is the only phone to consider.

Its only weakness is its exorbitant, extraterrestrial price. But you pay for the best.

FTR the Nexus One has comparable hardware but:

1. It's not Windows Mobile

2. The Nexus One's screen loses in both size and effective resolution (but wins in brightness and contrast)

3. The Nexus One has 64MB less hardware RAM

4. T-Mobile Nexus Ones have already had their IMEIs compromised and are automatically provisioned $30 smartphone data on AT&T. It's quite possible that AT&T Nexus Ones will not be able to stay under AT&T's radar for very long, so good luck holding on to the $15 unlimited plan for the long-term.

from what ive learned with att is that it dont really matter what phone you have if you use it on there system it will identify the type of phone (smart phone, average cell what ever it is) seeing how my family has had att sence bag phones was the newest thing out there and ive used a few phone that att dosent offer or sell and everytime ive tried to do it with out adding the data package and within a day ive recived a txt saying to use this phone you need to add a data package :eek: and att dosent really care what phone you have aslong as your bill is paided

OP wants WinMo.

OP wants to pay $15/month for data.

Android + $40/month data? You serious?

I wasn't caught on my Motorola Milestone (Telus version with 850/1900 HSDPA) or my current HD2. I'm still using a dumbphone plan.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] simplyfun2010:
Does anybody know how can we access to password protected excel files on winmo?My htc hd2 device is not accessing even for to view:(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] eTechUncut:
It says it does not support it. I dont think there is a way around this. There is no option to enter the password on your device. You have to open and unlock the doc on your cpu and turn the encryption off within the file, then transfer and view on your device. If you dont know how to do it then just open and unlock on your cpu copy and paste the body to a new doc. There is no support on how to decrypt a doc here because that is classified as "cracking", which is banned on this site. This is the only solution to your problem that I know of. Hope this helps!:cool:

[Desire Themes and Apps] Inishmore:
Back in the fold with a Desire and I'm looking for an app that will give me my remaining allowance in terms of mins/texts and how much I've spend.

Been spoiled as an iPhone user hence the request :) I'm on O2 btw.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Deus4ever:
Try CallmeterNG from Felix Bechstein.

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

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Themes and Apps] Inishmore:
Nice one mate looks promising.

Now if someone could make an app that gets the data from the actual onlune account:)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Software Guru:
What about 3G Watchdog, thats tracks your monthly data usage and warns you if you are approaching your limit
[Desire Themes and Apps] Inishmore:
Tracks usage for internet only.

The app I would ultimately like to have is one that gets your usage details straight from the network provider.

So for example with O2 you can log on and see how many mins and txts you have used and also any other chargeable spend. That's what I'm after
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tkm89:
I was wondering if it's possible to have the Desire's (and a few other of the recent HTC phones) lockscreen on the Hero?

With the Hero, when you unlock the phone and slide the bar down, it pulls down the wallpaper as well - whereas with the Desire it's only the bar (at 00:27).

I know it's a very minor 'feature', but it'd be nice to have it on the Hero.

Edit: Ah, I see there is a thread about this posted already. Apologies for that, feel free to delete this one.

Hey guys, i know it might be a long shot but is there an app for valuing a car just like you would in the parker price guide or the glass black book,

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelistening:
my camera started acting up since i flashed on super D. the saturation of the pictures were all weirded out. so i decided to switch roms. i went to HTCClay's superbad and i hoped for it to change...but it didnt. help? D:

edit: i tried running fix_permissions and that didnt work. and i cant find the right camera.apk file for the rom im using. can anyone send me the link if they find it?

im on htcclays
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
You can try running a fix_permissions from terminal and/or you can try pushing the camera.apk file from one of those roms that you know works and overwriting your existing camera.apk file.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelistening:
lets see if using fix_permissions works. if that fails ill just push the camera.apk like you said, thanks :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dEaK:
My phone keeps resetting all the time so I can't sync to PC using Active Sync.

I can however start bootloader.

Is there any way to flash HARD SPL via flash card?

(my phone hasn't flashed yet to hard spl or any other rom unsupported by HTC)

Tried to flash phone using official rom update from bootloader.

Updated succesfully unfortunately same restarts after update.

Also tried to flash HARD SPL from bootloader and it detects phone, even starts flashing and stops on 0% then shows connection error. After this restarts as before.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
If your phone is messed up and it's never been flashed/hacked, the best thing is to return it for warranty/repair (although it may be too late for that).

You can't flash hard spl from the sd card, so don't bother trying. You may just brick the phone doing it. Read the hard spl thread for instructions and tips on flashing. Make sure that you flash the proper hard spl (and roms/radios) for your device. Its sounds like you may have flashed the wrong firmware, although you haven't really told us what you've done. Constant re-booting is pretty typical when cdma is flashed to gsm, or vice versa. If you flashed the wrong bootloader, then you might as well throw the phone away.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dEaK:
Actually I DIDN'T flashed anything before it happened. At least I didn't.

I bought phone one week ago on auction. Phone worked smoothly. There was a problem with photo camera taking negative like photos. It wasn't important for me so I didn't even tried to flash new rom. That's all. Phone worked fine until todays morning. I woke up hearing reapeated welcome sound over and over. So I just removed battery to turn phone off. During the day tried to update official rom (from htc site) succesfully. But it didn't changed anything.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
Try hard resetting the phone. Also, try removing the sim and sd cards. If it continues to re-boot, you may be in trouble. It could already have hard spl on it, so put it in bootloader and see if it's there or not.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dEaK:
Well, now I'm sure I'm in trouble.

In bootloader mode screen doesn't show "1.90.OliNex". I assume, there's no HardSPL. :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dEaK:
Hard reset is not possible since I can't start windows mobile. It stops in phase: "Preparing your device for first use...".
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dEaK:
It started working unexpectedly!

I've just tried to flash one of original roms available and after rejection, phone restarted and logged to windows succesfully.

Of course I've flashed HARD SPL and now everthing is working fine.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dEaK:
Unfortunately, after a week phone gone into "loop of restarts" again. :(
[EVO 4G General] KyleCole90:
Hello, I plan on releasing a rom as soon as the phone is rooted. If you could ask for one thing you would like in a phone what would it be? The rom will be free! Check back here when the phone is released!

A black and red/blue theme(either)

[EVO 4G General] Mecha2142:
This might be a given, but I'd like for it to be free of any and all pre-installed Sprint apps, which I know are installed on the device courtesy of several Youtube videos.
[EVO 4G General] KyleCole90:
Yes, i plan on uninstalling all of the sprint apps that are just for advertising.
[EVO 4G General] Sebrina:
I'd ask for free 4G mobile hot spot tethering, but that might be controlled via a Sprint app, still worth mentioning though.
[EVO 4G General] KyleCole90:
Its a definite that i will include free Wifi tethering and a LAN option!
[EVO 4G General] Sebrina:
Awesome, actually not sure if we're talking about the samething I meant the built in router on the 4G that allows you to tether off to up to 8 different devices. That's why I said not sure if that's possible, but if not tethering would be good enough for me too, thanks by the way. :)
[EVO 4G General] KyleCole90:
Yes, you will be able to use it as a router. Sorry about the miscommunication.

Make the rom AOSP?
[EVO 4G General] KyleCole90:
I don't know about that, I might make a separate build for that. I'm not a big fan of AOSP roms.

Winmo's sense on the homescreen with cookies home tab and advanced home tab duskified.
[EVO 4G General] Sebrina:
I don't know if it's possible to get the clock to flip the way it does on WinMo. I know alot of users have requested this on Android and have been told it's not possible. I'm no expert so I really can't comment on why but that's what has been said.
[EVO 4G General] audscott:
After Android 2.2 is released, will it be possible base your custom ROM's on the update?
[EVO 4G General] KyleCole90:
I also do not think it is possible but i will do further research and find out the correct answer.
[EVO 4G General] KyleCole90:
I have no idea. I'm hoping that the Evo doesn't release with 2.2 because i already have a good handle of 2.1. Even if it does 2.2 will only open the door to more features for the ROM.
[EVO 4G General] KyleCole90:

I wouldn't mind one at first that just removes the Sprint apps and adds wifi tethering. Any performance tweaks would be welcome as well.

Yes, i plan on removing the Sprint apps and add wifi tethering. Im also working on a cpu overclock because i know everyone likes phones to be faster :D
[EVO 4G General] adeyo:
apps i would like in rom

...would you be able to capitalize the speed increases found in the new 2.2 rom when it comes????

I would love to have vzw's skype app and when the saygus vphone releases their phone (also verizon)...i would love their video chat apk. it is supposed to be out in may sometime. I am guessing saygus will have better video chat quality than the Qik "upgrade".

...mobile hotspot will be great!

...also, are their any avi/divx/xvid apps yet? i have heard of one that is in chinese but not sure how good it is or if it plays files larger than 700mb.

...google nav

...will be have the option to keep the sprint apps?

THANKS for doing this!!! I look forward to it.
[EVO 4G General] KyleCole90:
After I have the 2.2 memory dump I will be able to see what can be done but until then im clueless on what improvements can be made on it.

When you teather there will be a option on being a hotspot. Im not to sure on the video chat stuff, but im sure this Rom will make the best available. No news on the apps yet. Google nav will most likely be on the first version of the rom. I really dislike the sprint apps so there wont be a option to keep them. Im sure Google will have the same apps but better :).

Thanks for everyone's input this has been in huge help to give me a insight on what you all are looking for in a Rom. Keep up the suggestions!
[EVO 4G General] adeyo:
sounds great! ...can't wait!!

...on another note, are you familiar with UMA calling? Phonearena just posted an article about t-mobile added it to future android devices. Basically sounds like an app that will allow you to place calls over the internet (wifi) when your can't get a signal etc. i guess it sounds like skype, only you are able to call any regular phone numbers, not just skype contacts. Sounds awesome ...would it ever be possible to pull an app like this for use? here is the link... http://www.androidguys.com/2010/05/13/rumor-tmobile-test-uma-calling-android-handsets/ [/url]
[EVO 4G General] KyleCole90:
O shoot this sounds like a awesome app. I will look more into this. Thanks for the info!

I'm very interested in the Samsung Galaxy S, after all the messing about with HTC I've lost some confidence!

Shame, I've had Tytn's, Nike's etc.

Not much point having the official 2.1 as the dev's roms here are of such a high quality anyway.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Mansn:
Is it just me, or is the Samsung Galaxy S trying REALLY hard to look just like an iPhone?

Also, as they will be having their own version of Sense (eco something) it will mean that Samsung are probably going to take ages to update things. Also, look at the i7500 (the first Galaxy - AFAIK Samsung never released an official update for the phone). That never even managed to hop onto the 1.6 bandwagon - let alone 2.0 or 2.1!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liljom:
I get it from many places, that HTC lied :D

Don't just talk, send the link. Many blog, site published rumors to get some attention :D

And like the gossip people forgot to tell, that "it looks like" and they just say "HTC says"

I think it's stupid to blame HTC for some people's made-up idea, don't you think so?

They release many phones, great phones, and I'm pretty sure, they work a lot on those and on Hero 2.1.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] harsha_aithal:
Its like this guys.

1. First It will take you back to Stock ROM if you follow 2.73.405.5

2. Once you update your ROM using that RUU, U will receive an OTA update PART 1

3. After U install OTA Part, U are now eligible to recieve further OTAs

HTC Seems to be well aware of the fact that most of Hero users are using custom ROMs so they are helping you to go back to your Stock ROM and then become eligible to receive further OTAs. Truly a concerned one..!!!

I downloaded the T-mobile version from the first post, how do i install this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] diarti:
How to install, why to install?

Hi.

I just received an pop up on my hero that I now can download and install the OTA update. But as I rooted my Hero, I´m not able to install the OTA update...

After clicking the install button, the Hero is rebooting, then the root screen appears with a failure notice...

My question now is, do I have to worry now that I won´t be able to run the second part of the update an therefore I won´t be able to run the 2.1?

Or can I just install a custom rom with the 2.1 without having the part1 installed? I mean, is it really necessary to install the OTA update or not?

Well, if not, i would be very pleased, if someone would be so kind as to install the OTA part 1 (if necessary), then download and install the part 2, put all this together into a custom rom and post it right here ;-)

I hope my English is half way understandable! Greetings from Germany, which just looses against Serbia :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hkr:
If you rooted your phone to have flexibility, why do you want to install the preparatory update and official 2.1 ???

Just wait and do it with a zip from SDcard. A few hours after the release of the second (and final) OTA there will be images to flash directly ...

I really don't get it ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] diarti:
alright

sounds god to me ;-)

well, I just worried if I need to install the 1st OTA to be able to install a custom rom right from sd-card.

But as I got out of your answer it isn´t necessary.

So, like you recommended, I´ll just wait ;-)

Thank you for your quick answer!
