hmm...

Count me as another. I just upgraded to froyo and it went beserk. Had no service for a while. It would only come on after constantly tapping "select network automatically" until it kicked me out of the menu. It started getting better but kept kicking me out of 3g. I set it to stay always on 3g and it seems to be better... still I'm going to call tmobile and see if I can get a new sim as well.

Thanks for the info guys!

Hi all,

I need to run a app file from my SD Card when i install it on my android phone.

How to make it?

In Windows Mobile, you only need to create a folder with name 2577 and copy the app inside with the name autorun.exe, but really i don't know how can i do it in android.

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DarkPyroGuy 09:
The way I did it was with App2SD from the Cyanogen ROM

Heres the link http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Apps2SD

But if I am correct that is only for Cyanogen ROMs

Hi,

I'm looking for a inexpensive Richter -or compatible- holder, like this one:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/HERBERT-RIC...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1272899992&sr =1-1

But 12 + 4 (shipping) pounds seems unreasonable. It has to be specifically for Magic, not universal. Any reliable online shop?

Thanks :D

Hello all, Im having an issue and I wonder if someone can help me out. So I have the latest NRG .nbh and I am trying to flash from my sdcard but the 16gb sdcard that came with Tmo HD2's does not seem to work. I usually flash from my class 6 8gb card but it has come up missing and this is the only card I currently have

I would flash from the cpu but I no longer have a working home cpu and my machine at work is locked b/c I dont have admin privileges to install device drivers. My question is, has anyone been able to make the 16gb card work for flashing roms or am I out of luck?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
i'm pretty sure you are gonna continue to have trouble with anything over 8gb. hunt around for a cheap 2gb and use that.

Yeah I figured that but I really was hoping to flash the new release today, oh well thanks for responding

is there a way to emulate or run a ROM on my pc to test it and see how I like it?

I have searched and haven't found anything useful
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Did you search all XDA-developer forums?

There is an emulator available from Microsoft, but up to now nobody knows how to convert a ROM to use with it.

So, I have now been playing around these boards for some time.

Various devs. and coders have come up with all sorts of amazing things.

However, this one feature seems to still be missing.

There is no way to get the phone to provide a notification for an email that gets delivered to a subfolder.

I am sure I am not the only one hurting from this.

I have many subfolders, work emails, emails from GF etc etc. The fact that the phone does not noify me when I receive an email in one of my folders is just horrible.

Can it be that no one can fix this?

Pretty pls. Help me out.

Hey all,

Have had my HD2 for about 1 week now. I do love the phone, but am not liking the keyboard at this moment in time. I am forever making spelling mistakes, and keep hitting the wrong keys. Before any of you say, NO, I ain't got fat fingers! :p

Any of you not keen on the keyboard, and have you come across any better keyboard apps? Besides the SPB keyboard, as I ain't prepared to pay nearly £12 for that app!

Cheers

Vnkeyb with hanoiwap skin for english

I tried many many keyboards (stock, swype, slideit, SPB, Vito ...).

Settled on Vnkeyb (freeware) with hanoiwap skin for english .

Give it a try and increase the pressure time to 800 ms. It also has CTRL key (cut paste etc).

Downloaded it here at xdadev.

EDIT: I have now discovered and switched to FingerKeyboard which has the same features and much more + 2 xda support groups.
[HD2 General] cd78:
Try the sensitivity tweaks first of all - they help a lot.

If you still dont like - try Fingerboard 2.1 or Swype and SlideIt. :)
[HD2 General] L22EEW:
Tried using swype, but it changed my passcode, so I was unable to lock my handset. Had to HARD RESET. Luckily I backed my phone up via SPB backup a few hours previous prior to my ROM upgrade! Phew...
[HD2 General] d3l1:
that is a known issue with swype, and it was mentioned here many times.

I prefer SlideIt because it has a german dictionary, unlike swype which I can't find one for

Hey guys, I'm having some issues here. When receiving sms, the senders number doesn't always appear. Instead, it shows the first word of the sms as the sender.

Meaning I can't really find out who sended the message cuz it doesn't show the senders number. Any idea what might be causing this and how to fix it?

[Android Themes] acejoker25000:
you could download the home replacement panda hero! its as close to sense ui you can get without actually using a hero rom
[Android Themes] will4958:
I actually tried the Panda Home Hero home replacement, and it looked pretty good, except for the little bit of text at the bottom that reads "Light Version" or something to that effect. Is there any way to remove that, or am I just being hopeful? I don't really feel like paying for a paid version, especially now that Cyan's been able to get past the whole video thing, developers of Sense roms will hopefully be able to start producing roms with working video cameras. Just my opinion.
[Android Themes] SG_Shadow:
If you really look around the web, you can find websites that have the paid apk file for panda hero. I would post the file here, but I don't want to get banned, :( The only problem I have with panda is that it doesn't change your status bar, nor icons to match sense ui.

[Desire General] NutsyUK:
I couldn’t be more chuffed with my Desire and the deal I got with T-mobile UK as a new customer.

However I just tried to upgrade my mums contract as she is well overdue for a new contract and phone... near 30 or so months when she had a 18 month contract.

Anyway. I call them up from her phone to get the desire. But I found myself faced with unhelpful and indifferent retention blokes who 1 issues insanely bad deals and 2 wouldn’t make any deals...

When I got my phone I managed to get the phone at 89 quid on a 20 quid a month 24 month contract. 600 minutes 500 texts 3gb data and a booster.

I was expecting to at least be able to get something similar for my mum... ohhhh but no.

They wanted to give the phone for free but only on a 35 quid a month contract. I managed to talk them down to a 30 quid a month contract.

But if I wanted the contract like mine at 20 quid a month they wanted to charge 380 pounds for the phone.

380... that’s 19 quid shy of the full retail price of the phone.

They were in no way willing to budge. I tried to explain to them how odd it was that I was able to get such a great deal and my mum not. And that the price they where asking was just short of full retail price. But they didn’t care.

I remember when the desire came out some one here managed to get the phone for free on 15 quid a month with a similar contract to what I had...

Gone are those days. T-mobile seem to be back at screwing over there current customers. Which was why I left them in the first place years ago.

Anyone else had any trouble?

Anyone know ways of getting around this? I rather keep my mum with T-mobile as she needs the good dataplan…

Nutsy
[Desire General] jannen:
Did you call the upgrade team? They are usually pretty useless. Call (if you already didnt) T-mobile choose the option you are 'leaving them'. You will then be in touch with people who normally can do decent deals as they dont want you (or your mom) to leave.
[Desire General] NutsyUK:
I think thats who the retension team is... at least thats what they called themselves when i asked them
[Desire General] NutsyUK:
Well i just tried to cancel... it went to the same retentions department as before i even spoke to the same person i spoke to before...

This time there now denying the 380 pound figure... But are willing to sell the phone at 240 quid on the 20 a month contract and 140 on the 25...

I honestly think there just randomly choosing numbers.

Anyway got a PAC code. We might still take up the 30 quid a month deal but one of the main reason for the 20 deal was we wanted to bring our costs down.

Ill just have to look around for a bit… Got 30 days to do it.
[Desire General] al89nut:
Go to a store - they have commission to earn.
[Desire General] aljwatson69:
Do you have any rival deals you can quote to them? When I was renewing my contract I got the best deal by quoting various deals I'd seen online and I ended up getting the phone for free and the price plan a couple of quid cheaper a month than anywhere else I'd seen. Didn't have to press to hard.
[Desire General] NutsyUK:
where you a returning customer?

Also what deals have you found online... Orange done seem to have the phone yet. And Voda dont seem to have any good deals and not selling the phone for under 30 quid a month.
[Desire General] philje123:
I had exactly the same experience with them!

They just weren't willing to budge at all and would only offer me the phone on a £30 or more contract so I cancelled and have ordered from elsewhere!

[Desire General] nintendolinky:
Upgrade through mobilephonesdirect or mobiles.co.uk, they offer great deals like 20 quid a month etc etc, that is what I did
[Desire General] lewyharvey:
Yeah I had Vodafone 18month contract in its last month with my Touch HD. Tried to get upgrade with them for the desire and got very similar results as NutsyUK. So decided to get it from www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk on T-mobile for £25 p/m on a 24 month contract.

The best part was I got 900 mins, unlimited texts, and full unrestricted web n walk data package as my booster. I would just take out a new contract with www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk and just port your number over :)
[Desire General] jfran:
Vodafone were asking for £100 with £25 per month, or £50 with £30 per month when I tried my local shop!
[Desire General] panos123:
It's their iPhone. Which makes it very difficult to get a good deal.

Personally I'd never sign up for 24 months and pay a fee towards handset.

You're better off actually signing up to voda for an iPhone, or t mobiles next best phone free on 18 month. Put it straight on ebay and buy sim free desire. You might even make a profit :D
[Desire General] NutsyUK:
I'd rather stick with tmobile than go to voda... vodas has terrible data... 500mb a month thats it...

tmobiles data with androids is 3gb... i think there standerd data plan thats given to retailers is 1gb
[Desire General] al89nut:
You can get it from somewhere like Mobile Phones Direct on an TMobile contract.
[Desire General] mikekanani:
That sucks, I got offered £20 per month and no charge for the phone.
[Desire General] BlueFlare:
Have just got Vodafone deal (did the deal over the phone - this is a discounted £35 / month tariff) - New Customer - Free HTC Desire, 18 month contract, £25.50 / month for 15 months, £35 / month for 3 x months, 600 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited data (500 mb - but apparently not chargeable unless Gbs over your allowance regularly).

2 x weeks ago (over phone) was offered T-Mobile deal, new customer, 18 month contract, £20 / month, £107 for HTC Desire, 300 minutes, 300 texts, unlimited internet plus free Bolton: i.e. choice of free t mobile calls, landline or unlimited texts.

If T-mobile are charging such a ridiculous amount for the phone now either wait until the prices settle down again (maybe they have hiked the price due to the shortages? Or go elsewhere.

Clearly they are not offering a competitive deal.

[Desire General] str355:
it sounds like T-Mobile have changed in the last month.

on 30th March i just called the upgrade team and got the phone for £40 on a £15 a month contract.
[Desire General] beaker656:
Going back to the OP's comments, as you said it was an upgrade, it would also depend on you Mothers history with T-mobile. How much she spent a month, how much her previous handset was worth and of course T-mobile offset the cost of this in with the monthly payment. Add on to this (not that I am suggesting anything) her credit worthiness, has she always paid on time, ever missed a payment, is she a high user - in that does she generate profit for T-mobile.

No operator gives handsets away for free, especially when so new and in such demand from those willing to pay. They also tier the pricing dependant on the customers usage and how much they will rake back in, length of contract etc. It is never so cut and dried between 2 different users as they both have different profiles from the operators perspective.
[Desire General] NutsyUK:
She was with them for 26 months on a 18 month contract. She always paid on time. I think there was one time a credit card wasnt updated so one payment was missed but that was quickly fixed...

she had a diamond before.

I would say this would be a fair a normal upgrade... but it seems this no desire for contracts under 30 quid is a new thing. blanket across the board...

2. how is the external speaker of talking ?

3. how is the GPS ? i am not from us so there are apps for navigation for other countries?

4. overall experience , such as comfortability ?

Hello,

With my phone goes something strange with the internet speed.

When I use any browser or even skifire to watch videos is quite slow in the youtube app is the same, but if I use my hd2 internet sharing option on the computer I can see perfectly videos and I work to 1015 mbps.

I tried several roms and radios but the performance is similar.

I know I cannot compare a computer with the hd2 but I find it very strange that even the skyfire feel much slower than my old Samsung omnia I900L.

A similar thing happens to anyone or does anybody know how to improve navigation from the cellphone?

[Desire General] The Professor:
Wifi tethering isn't working yet. You'll have to hold on for that.

For the other two, install Paul's default ROM - it's just rooted stock, so it'll be identical to what you had. Install Apps2SD and Titanium Backup on that.
[Desire General] erriko:
I'm not a professor like our buddy above, but I can definitively say that Wireless Tether (downloaded from market) works like a charm.

Furthermore there are ROMs like AhmgskMod Sense Rom v1 (you'll find this rom here in the xda forum) that have it already built in...
[Desire General] The Professor:
Erriko, can you actually connect to it with another device, get an IP address, and surf web? As far as I'm aware, only ahmgsk supposedly has it working, and haven't seen much verification of that.

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a line rental htc hd2 and I put the pin lock 5 days ago and it was working perfectly for 2 days then the third day onwards, its kept on saying "incorrect password", I called both t-mobile and htc. they dont seems like they care about the customers, all they saying is " DO HARD RESET" If i do that I will lose all my contacts, applications (well everything!!!!).

I always had pin locked on my nokia phones for years and they never gave me a headache. I am f**kin tired of this irresponsible companies (I asked them, if its gonna happen in the future, if i do hard reset and the answer they gave me is "possibly".

If someone find a solution for this problem, please do help me.

I cant access my bluetooth and I cant sync with my pc).

Thanks,

[HD2 General] Richard_Bushby:
Like yourself I'm a new HD2 owner. I can understand why you might think there's a lack of apps for our device, when devices like the iPhone have 160,000+ apps. However I've found four different GPS nav apps out there (Igo, CoPilot, TomTom and Garmin), an app to make a flashlight out of your camera LEDs, a registry editor, a voice-dialler, a metal detector, a decent file explorer, a media player etc etc etc. The question needs to be asked, how many media players / file explorers / gps apps do you need on your device? For me, one of each is more than enough. Many of the iPhone apps are just double-ups of the same functionality.

After getting my phone I spent the next week on XDA searching for apps, themes, tweaks and games, trying them out and working out what works and what doesnt.

My HD2 is now running and looking mint, and I've got more games than I know what to do with. As the others in this thread have already pointed out, you do need to take the time and use the search function.

As for support, you couldn't be more wrong - it was the emmense wealth of knowledge of XDA-developers that gave me the confidence to buy the HD2. It will take you time to find the info you're looking for in these forums, but the answers are there, and you'll end up with a superior phone to the iPhone if you're prepared to give it a chance.

Drop me an email on richard_bushby@yahoo.com if you'd like to know where to find the bits you're after. :)
