Hello,

thanks a lot very good idea !!! :p
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jaden10:
It would be neat if someone made an application that let you control the HTC Hero with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The Archos 5 tablet lets you do this out of the box. Is there any possibility someone can make a mod that allows you to do this on the HTC Hero? Does anyone else think this is cool?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
won't happen until the hero gets a blue tooth stack that's worth a damn. imo... which is worth a lot.

So there is no way to do it even with root? Nothing you can flash that could add this?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
The blut tooth stuff is all native to the kernel....well for the most part.

It would take serious work to improve our current Bluez version (Bluez being the BT platform) to make it work with our Heros. I doubt the demand is there for someone to rewrite all of our bluetooth drivers and stack to make a keyboard work.

The KeyPro guys have released a beta BT keyboard driver that works very well with our Sprint Hero, check it out right here: http://www.mymobilegear.com/showpost.php?p=18799&postcount=12

I have a folder that contains special office files. I'd like to have a quicklink to this folder on my manila 2.5 quicklinks homescreen, is this possible?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] exmeaguy:
This would be good to know. +1
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aaron McCarthy:
using file explorer or total commander.. something like that make a shortcut of the folder you are talking about. long press the folder and the options should come up to "copy" or while the folder is highlighted select menu and copy.

Using file explorer again then navigate to \my device\windows\start menu

click menu and choose to past shortcut and then you're probably going to want to rename it.

then on your quicklinks you should be able to add it.

I'm trying to do the same thing, but with the link for the traditional "all settings" screen (that I added with BsB). I understand how to add the shortcut to windows\start menu, but I don't know where to find the .lnk that launches it so I can create the shortcut....any ideas..?

HI, I recently purchased a HD2 and have been very impressed with it.

I have been scouring the internet for upgrades/tips/customisations etc and here seems to be the place to be.

Now I have Opera 10 and Opera 9.7 installed(Default)

I followed all the instructions to be able to watch BBC iPlayer to the letter.

I ofcourse got the "you need to be connected via WiFi to watch" message, so I promptly booted up my WiFi on the phone and connected to my home router.

As I did this, as per usual it connected fine with full signal strength. The only problem being that once connected I cannot access the internet via either browser on my phone, and worse, none of my machines connected to the router(via ethernet or WiFi).

In essence it completely shuts my router out, I have to turn my WiFi off on the phone, then turn the router off and on again just to get connection back for my computers.

It is most definitely the phone connecting causing the issue, since it only happens when I try to connect the phone to the router. It also only started when I changed the "opera:config" settings for BBC iPlayer.

I am at my wits end with it and really, really dont want to have to do a hard reset and lose all my new contacts/photo's/app's etc.

Any help is appreciated!

[HD2 General] Sp4wn666:
Before I post my reply I would just like to say, I think its great to still see active development and mature forums with timely and accurate responses.

Demon_man, you sir, are a legend. I had actually read that thread but discontinued halfway down due to a poster explaining they could still gain access to their hub.

In essence, it appears when I started using my Leo as a WiFi Hub it took on the default 192.168.1.1 IP as a static(which I assume was to emulate a router). Once I discontinued using it in that way both my router and phone had been assigned to same IP address, essentially cutting my router off when I connected my phone.

I have reset the adapters to get the IP from server in future.

I also already had the iPlayer tweak in place, but thanks for the link.

Many thanks again for such a speedy response.

I bought a Legend yesterday and cracked the display today...

So i'am going to change it too.

Would it be enough to buy a Touch-Screen-Digitizer-for-HTC-Legend (search google or ebay) or am i going to need anything else?

Don't know if its just the glass thats broken or whatever. I can still use the touch screen so i am guessing that its just the glass.

And do any of you know if there is some sort of solution as to making sure this will not happen again after i have changed the display? some sort of layer to put onto it or something.

Thanks in advance.

Well, I tried myself, and my legend does not look like your in the internals.

First the screen is glued in a plastic casing.

Second, the chip part of the touchscreen is traped inside the metal shield at the back of the screen. I don't know of to remove it.:confused:

Last, to get to the screen, I had to disassemble all the board on the telephone.

So, it's not that easy to do.

chase changed?

It looks like HTC has made second version of the chasing of Legend. With these instructions I got all the screws visible and loosen but lifting the screen unit out of the aluminium chasing has been made impossible. It looks like there is some sort of rail that keeps the main unit in place and it can't be lifted. I can't get around it. Anyone else having same kind of problem?
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legendskas:
There is a patch of glue on the botton of the body that keeps the phone altogether.

You need to heat the glue (hair dryer or oven) to melt it and be able to remove it.

How to get inside your legend

Remove battery cover and battery

There are 6 screws at the bottom, 4 torx which you can easily see. 1 has a void sticker on top of it and the other is behind the corner of the IMI sticker.

Next you need to remove the camera and flash case on the rear of the phone (this is glued in so needs a little bit of force to remove) after removing this there are 2 more torx screws clearly visible.

Next remove the buttons under the screen (the HOME, SEARCH and MENU ones) this will come out easily because this was held in by 2 screws you removed earlier.

You can now remove the case by pushing the screen forward from where the camera is located (it is awkward to remove an takes some time time but it does come out)
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carper2009:
darby577: Thanks for your explanations, they were a great help to advance in the initial disassemble.

I just wanted to clarify the last point, since to me was easier than expected.

To extract the electronics you just need to carefully push in the point indicated in the photo. The electronics of the phone is inclined with respect to the aluminum housing, allowing its exit through the hole of the battery-SIM-microSD.

My next challenge is to connect the new touchscreen. The control pcb and connector are under the LCD and appear to be forming a block with a metal frame (probably sealed thermally). I hope to win this last battle.

Any help will be welcome. :-)

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HinHale:
There was no metal frame on my device (assembled 2010-01-15) but the AMOLED screen I got off Ebay seems to have been a dud. I get all sorts of abberations, in particular vertical lines that sort of looks like smeared out ghost versions of whatever's displayed on the screen. I'd rather not take it apart again, since it's fixated to the pcb with a strip of adhevise, and it'd be a real hassle to have it replaced, I'm sure (chinese seller that's isn't all that responsive to my complaints). Is there any chance it might be some sort of radio interference/magnetic field that's causing this, and if so any ideas on how to shield it?
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeydrufy:

thanks a lot
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nethopper:
No, definitively not. These patterns are either produced by a missmatch in the fimrware of the display or (more likely) if the ribbon connecting to the glass surface got unglued. Remove the Legend from its shell and check if you can make the pattern change by touching the rim or the back of the display.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexnikitchuk:
As far as i can see, from one side of LCD there is touchscreen, and from other - plastic (and we have metall frame). Have you remove touchscreen first? Or you begin disassembling from plastic side?
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HinHale:
Here's to hoping it's not a firmware mismatch then, since physically jerking it around, bending it slightly, pinching the ribbon cable and such were some of the first things I did.

Anyway, I managed to reason with the seller, which has now shipped a replacement display. When I removed the display to have it sent back, I noticed some slight imperfections in the glass when it was reflected upon by sunlight at a certain angle. Almost like small bumps, that I'm sure are some artifacts from a faulty manufacturing process of some sorts. Firmware mismatch, although I'm sure a reasonable guess, doesn't seem all that likely afterall, because once removed I made sure the display was identical to the original (except for a serial # it all matched up).

Yup, I did remove the touchscreen first (it was cracked, along with the original display, so there was no risk of damaging it in the process. I just pryed it of with an exacto knife). But when I disassembled the Legend the second time to remove the faulty display, I did it the same way. I don't think there's a way to remove the display without also removing the digitizer-layer (touhscreen) since it's pretty much only held in place by a strip of adhesive tape anyhow. To avoid cracking the digitizer I lifted it up only slightly, and used the aforementioned exacto knife (with a long thin n-shaped blade, almost like a spatula) to gently pry the adhesive tape from the underside of the digitizer.

Note that there's a small pcb attached to the ribbon cable of the digitizer that's glued to the back of the AMOLED that needs to be removed before anything else.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoosterX:
I am curious how did you get the amoled/lcd screen out of it's housing? I need to get it out to get the connectors for my exchange touch screen connected, i have a feeling it is glued to the back of the housing?

Five screews in the bottom, two screews around camera (behind plastic cover), and than open it, now You can see two on lcd connector-metal connector cover.

If somebody need help, write there or PM.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HinHale:
Yup, it's glued with a strip of adhesive tape. If you pry it gently you should be okay (but like I said, first time around I just did it with an exacto knife not having to be very gentle since it was already cracked).

Alternatively, if you get the PCB attached to the digitizer's ribbon cable detached from the display, you might be able to jerk it out by lifting the digitizer gently while at the same time bending the black plastic frame somewhat (the display is sandwiched in between the plastic frame and the metal back housing).

In a week or so I'm installing my replacement display, and then I could perhaps get some pictures if it's not clear what I mean.

Best of luck!
