[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BrandoHD:
Hey guys, i have a problem where i once blocked a number from calling my phone while i was running a particular rom by editing the contact and send the calls directly to voicemail, i have then changed roms since then but the blocking of the number still haunts me. i have tried deleting the contact from my phone and from google but it seems somewhere the fact that i blocked the number is still being stored and i don't understand

Please help!!!
[HTC Excalibur] youngdaddytc:
i've been seeing advertisements for an app for the iphone called jibbigo, that allows a person to speak into the phone, and the app on the phone will translate the phrase or word into another language which is then audibly spoken back out. kind of a speak-translate-hear (in different language) app, and this works in reverse.

here's the weblink: http://www.jibbigo.com/website/

unfortunately this app is only for the iphone right now. so i was wondering if anyone else knows of a similar app that will work with windows mobile 6.5?

i'll be traveling through switzerland, and then to south africa for the world cup this summer, and it'd be great to have a little help right there in my phone... all i have now is what i've learned from the rosetta stone lessons i've been taking :-)

Before I rooted I didn't notice if the clock tiles actually flipped, did they? I am rooted and they don't any more.
[Desire General] farnsbarns:
I noticed yesterday, just after seeing desire tv ad that, contrary to what is shown in the tv ad, they don't flip. I do not have root, yet!

it doesnt flip, dont worry..:P
[Desire General] Bl@ck:
Yeah, the clock never flipped on the desire :( shame it does on older sense versions.
[Desire General] kingchris:
the clock never flipped on any android device with sense...
[Desire General] nprussell:
It did, on very early versions. It was removed around 1.5.

We have flipclock working in 2.1 on the Hero, so I'm sure I'll be able to port a working one once the custom ROMs start floating around.
[Desire General] hager420:
true, when I first got my hero last August it used to flip. removed due to performance issue's before HTC optimized there stock ROM

I was wondering if we could start a thread somewhere on these forums to keep track of the newest swype versions. I'm one of many users here still waiting to be a member of swype beta. So i constantly find myself searching for newer versions of swype, and for for various different screen types. so can we start a thread so everyone knows what the newest version is. I've seen the following versions of swype on these forums:

Swype 1.16.12.5228.219

Swype 1.25.16.56

Swype 1.29.18-1.5909

Does anyone Know of newer versions of swype for android?
[Android Apps and Games] taboo8614:
dont get to excited, they dont let you know of updates when you are part of the beta...and you apperently have a download limit and when you redownload the swype app that # of times your account it stopped. its so people dont shear there account with others

Is there any working version of Swype with French language yet?
[Android Apps and Games] Zappletoo:
Yes, depending on your phone..

Screen size must be HVGA (like the Dream or Magic).

Also, it's an older version, but it works fine.

I'm also looking for a working french version of swype for Nexus One....

I found a version called "/swype.v1.25.15.56122FrenchInsteadSpanish.apk" on this forum but it is not working on the nexus one due to improper screen size....

edit:

I ended up downloading shapewriter from the market, it's free and has multiple dictionaries available

More than likely, your screen is fried (sorry for stating the obvious). Have you tried a WinXP computer with MyMobiler?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] OFFWiTYuRHeD:
Is anyone else out there really annoyed that HTC can release the Legend with 2.1 but leave the Hero out in the cold. I don't know if there's more to it that just releasing the same ROM to the Hero's out there but I'm glad there's people like the VillainRom team and others out there working hard to give us the features that we otherwise be missing out on.

it's a widget. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
Another app is XPERIA Flashlight: it's an app with timed light-on presets (including unlimited), as well as a widget to turn the LED on and off.
[XPERIA X10 General] dkyu:
Thanks for the reply,

But those apps is turning the LED light on, not using it like a camera flash.

Maybe I am asking too much. :(
[XPERIA X10 General] arcticreaver:
its not a true flash so i don't think we will ever see real camera flash.
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
No. That only works in 2.0/2.1. That's why you have to turn it on and off. Hopefully we'll get a "real" camera flash in 2.1. :)
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
i was pretty happy when i showed up at a corporate store today to ask about my FILTHYYYYYY trackball (it was yellow, ew) and pay my bill; and they replaced it with a nice white shining orb like right out the box! and even better, i have no insurance or ANYTHING, they did it free of charge and in less than ten minutes. yay!

question though. so my phone is shut off for the next few hours...forgot to pay my bill, and calls and sms arent working. they said it would take 2-4 hours for my to get service back, anyone ever have something similar happen? question is, how long did it take for you to get your service back?

and now something strange. when i realized my service was off, i found that i still have data. i am able to text through gv, browse, market, the whole nine yards. is this normal? lol!

thanks guys :-D
[Hero CDMA General] danaff37:
yeah, normal. For some reason they leave data on. Service came back near immediately for me though.
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
Yea they say 2-4 hours just in case it really does take that long. Normally its pretty instant, like 10-15mins.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
really fuuuuck man i need my calls back :-( ive been waiting over two hours now!!
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
grr. i think this is that case.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Well, you can atleast text through GV. Maybe you can call through GV? Or if you can, set up some type of SIP dialer which doesn't require minutes.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
sorry, SIP dialer? could you expound?
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
I don't know, but I think there is something called Gizmo5 that can be setup so that you can effectively eliminate the need for a voice plan, since all your calls are routed through data.
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
Gizmo5 was bought by Google to be the base of Google Voice.
[Hero CDMA General] sdotcarlisle:
i know this sounds stupid, but take your battery out and put it back in. Our clients sometimes ask us to disconnect lines they shouldnt and when we turn them back on the ones that dont go through immediately typically do once we do the battery trick.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
i just talked to sprint. they said they were waiting for the payment to be posted, which is JUUUST was...they said to turn off for 1 minute, reboot, and service should be restored.

cross your fingers, rebooting now!!
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
service is back! yay!

also, soemthing wierd about my trackball...the little round chrome part that usually supports it was replaced with a black rubber one. is this standard for new trackball and trackball housing?

its just, i liked the chrome :-( now it akward looking with the black surrounding the tb :-(
[Hero CDMA General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Yes that is normal..

Because as a service tech,

A) The Hero is on the Do Not Touch List.. So it is up to the experience of the tech to decide if he really wants to risk taking the phone apart, because if it breaks, he's gonna be liable for it..

B) The Hero is on the Do Not Touch List.. So you have to buy 3rd party parts to do those repairs.. Sprint will not send parts for a phone you are not allowed to repair, so you have to buy from vendors and those parts are normally different in quality.
[Hero CDMA General] Leukay:
Ill trade you! I want a black one lol
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
take a pic and attach it... i wanna see what you're talking bout
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:

however, i have a friend over who has a 5 year old pda maybe he'll lemme take a pic.

[Hero CDMA General] Mdawg112:
Lucky, they never want to touch my phone. They said if they could help me they would but they don't have the parts.

Also, i couldn't see my hero with a black rubber thing around my tb.. It would bug me.

[Nexus One Accessories] MTGap:
I'm planning on building a custom dock for my phone out of the box it comes in. My plan is to have the charging cable go through the box, but I would like to be able to detach my charger from the dock to use it elsewhere.

I found this USB Micro extender http://www.angledcables.com/microb-extension.html and I'm thinking about using it to plug in the charger to it and then have the extender run through the box to the phone to charge it.

Will this work or will I run into issues because of the HTC ExtUSB used in the Nexus One? And will the power still be the same through the extender for charging?
[Desire General] Kiddson:
Hi all,

I received a new Desire (and man, do I luuuurve it! :p) and need to transfer everything from the "old" one (well, 2 weeks old) and couldn't find a free app that would backup everything ok. I used to have Sprite Backup on my previous HTCs courtesy of O2, and it always did a brilliant job. So I purchased the paid-for version on the Market, currently 2.0 which didn't work at all on the Desire, as reported in some comments.

What a useless bunch they are. I contacted them about a week ago and they confessed 2.0 doesn't work with the Desire, but they think they have a fix and sent me a 2.1 alpha (yes, alpha). They were right in part, the backup worked seamlessly. But then when I tried to restore the data on the new phone, Sprite Backup force-closed on the System Settings restore and I lost everything that was on the 7 home screens, and the HTC Sense widgets are simply gone for good. Trying to restore any item (System Settings, Contacts, Messages etc.) usually ends up either in force close or fail + bug report, and when it doesn't it says it was successful but actually restored nothing at all...

I've been trying to contact Sprite Software ever since, last time was 2 days ago, but they're not replying to me any more. Now I want my money back, I shouldn't have to pay for a service I never got, not mentioning the trouble and hours trying to fix my backup. Eventually I purchased MyBackup Pro which did a brilliant job at it, even though it doesn't backup the Home screens and my Sense widgets are still missing as they're not listed in my installed apps because they came as standard.

So sorry to go about it the long way, but I write for 2 reasons:

- For one, do not give your money to Sprite, at least not until they fix this problem and boost up their support service.

- And most importantly, how do I get my widgets back? Since they come as standard, they're not on the Market or anywhere else I looked. Or could I maybe factory-reset the phone and restore again but this time with MyBackup Pro? I was afraid that it might mess up the T-Mobile settings like it did on my old Polaris with O2, they could never fix the MMS settings after that (not that I receive that many anyway).

Help and advice much appreciated, thanks a lot in advance (well thanks NOT Sprite Software!). Happy Desiring all.

Jay
[Desire General] riz157:
I experienced something similar with spirit, I simply factory reset the handset and it was fine.
[Desire General] Kiddson:
That worked fine! No issues at all, even all the T-Mobile stuff was still there. Got my widgets back, I'm even shocked how good the hard reset is compared to WinMo, it's so stress-free that I could even imagine trying out a few custom ROMs without having to worry about getting it back in order if it goes wrong.

So happy I switched to Android, but I still haven't found a good backup app for the Desire. Sprite still ignoring me...
[Desire General] cgrec92:
mybackup pro is perfect :)
[Desire General] JTHM:
I believe I was the one who first reported that 2.0 wouldn't work on the Desire 3 weeks ago. They originally asked me to download spritediagnostics from the Market, run it as soon as 2.0 crashed and email them the generated crash log. I did this and a few days later they sent me the 2.1Alpha. This worked on my Desire but wiped my HTC Sense widgets same as you. I reported the problem to them but had to Hard Reset to get them back. I can't say I've had the same poor customer service problems though as they've always responded very quickly even been helpful.

Anyhow, it took me days to get my phone back to how I like it so I'll not be using Sprite Backup again until they sort out the Sense widgets problem - there's no benefit to it over HTC's own on board backup.

Hey, I just bought a Tmobile Htc Hd2 in usa last week which has a sim lock, and I just want to learn how to unlock this phone and use my non-tmobile sim card. And the other thing is, If I am going to flash a new rom, what about the sim lock. Will it be unlocked by flashing a custom rom.

[HD2 General] xedoser:
I check the link, but I don't know if they could do, I received an e-mail delivery failure.
[HD2 General] spencer911:
Are you a TmoUS customer coz if so you will be able to unlock your phone from them. You just have yo request it.

If you are not a TmoUS customer you will be able to unlock your phone via using htccode.com, unlock-now.com, or others. There are a lot of unlockers on the web or at ebay if you like you just have to search for it. Google is your friend. Try searching for "HTC HD2 Unlocker."

Now if you already have the code unlocking the phone is easy. Insert your non TmoUS sim card ie. your Turkish sim card then power it on then the phone will recognize that the sim is not TmoUS and ask for a code. Just enter the code and your done.

Flashing the phone with custom ROM's will not unlock your phone.

Have a great day unlocking your phone.
[HD2 General] xedoser:
Thanks for your reply, I already check too many unlock code services on net but I don't know which one is reliable? Any idea?
[HD2 General] hoag50:
Try cellunlock.net it cost me 20 dollars and I got it the same day there is a cupon code i will try and get for you normal price is 40 cupon gives you 50% off

Code is berryscoop50, for those interested. it works I used it 4 days ago to unlock mine
[HD2 General] wingtytn:
ok for u all that want ur tmous hd2 unlocked the best way to do so is to call tmobile and if u hav an account and its in good standing to ask for the unlock code they will give it to u
[HD2 General] darksta:
Using Tmous in India

Hi,

i used cellunlock..

but tmous just released a Rom update..

1) you should ideally install the update first.. (it'll hard reset your peice)

2) Get you Imie by pressing *#06# on your phone

3) Send the Imie to cellunlock

4) then insert a local Sim card

5) It will ask for an unlock code..enter the code cellunlock gives you and Voila

Also.. when youre buying the code from cellunlock enter 'berryscoop' in the discount code to get 50 % off

Hope this helps
[HD2 General] alsalahi:
I called t-mobile to get min unlocked and 2 days later they e-mailed me the code. I tried the phone with ATT sim it worked fine..I need the code because I might go on vacation to middle east.
[HD2 General] Purple Drama Llama:
Is anyone willing [with a T-Mobile account] to ask for an unlock code for me if I provide my IMEI? I would really appreciate it.
[HD2 General] webcrazy:
Looking for the similar solution, but you do not need an account number. All you need is a copy of the invoice showing full retail price. If anyone is willing to share how the invoice is supposed to look like... I would delete all confidential information including the IME Number before posting the copy of the invoice. For those of us living outside US this is the only way to get this done.

You will also have to register your phone with Turk Telcom or who ever you use. I took a US unlocked phone into Turkey a few years ago and was using a local sim card. Recieved text message from Turk Telcom that my phone would be disabled if it wasn't registered within a few days

I bought an TmoUS HTC HD2, i live in lebanon and i want to use it on the lebanese carriers sim, anyhow i flashed the phone to DFT Wp7 ROM ! everything is working fine ... i recieved the unlock code from t-mobile USA for unlocking the Sim, im following th instructions as the e-mail says and here how it's happening :

i insert my lebanese sim card

the phone asking for the unlock code, i insert the Code that T-mobile sent me

the phone says the Code is accepted and opens th WP7 home page, what im getting confused of is that the sim is still locked no network coverage and can't see any network coverage and if i go to the dial pad it asks for the sim unlock again :S ....

I just wanna knw is it becuase i flashed to WP7 maybe caused this or any radio or rom flashing problem .... !!?

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Gormandy:
So basically I'm phone-savvy and all (maybe not at as much as the devs here) and bought the HTC Hero around 6 months ago.

I made a big mistake.

First of all, I'm on T Mobile US and I got the unlocked European version and though I knew 3G wouldn't work I just said "who cares" but now I realize that 3G is actually quite a big jump from the slow EDGE.

Second, I'm not quite satisfied with the HTC-ized Android. And plus we still haven't gotten a 2.1 update.

Third, it just doesn't feel that good of a phone as do several others.

Sure it can do just about everything, but hell even the iPhone is simpler to use and easier. By simplicity I'm talking about the time it takes to achieve a task which is on average longer on my HTC Hero (at least for me).

Now the 2.1 update has been pushed back further and I'm very disappointed with HTC. All in all I think I'm going to trade in my phone for something else, maybe a blackberry or an iphone or just sell it and wait for something else.

I don't want to start a flame war, and I'm glad those of you who are satisfied with the HTC Hero have a phone you enjoy... but for me, I guess it's over.

I'd also like to thank all the developers who worked so hard to make my Hero that much more usable and interesting. Thanks guys!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] eatmydave:
I have to disagree. I have been working in the wireless industry since 1999 and also consider myself to be phone savvy. I've been using smartphones since the Motorola MPx200! The Hero is HANDS DOWN one of the BEST phones I've ever had. I'm using mine in the US on AT&T (Telus Hero, so 3G works). I don't think it is slow at all. If you don't like the HTC "stuff", load a Vanilla ROM. I had a Magic before my Hero and only had EDGE on the Magic, so I can see where that would bother you. But that's not because it's a Hero, but rather because you are using it on the wrong network. When the official 2.1 comes out and the devs have access to the proper kernel, these phones are going to fly! It's a pity you can't get 3G on it, because I think you would have a much better opinion of the phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kadison:
Well, not really.

You should have known a smartphone relies on a decent data connection. Downloading one or two emails and updating the weather app is about as much as I can take on GPRS/EDGE.

You aren't satisfied with the Sense UI? Did you even watch any online videos before you bought the phone? Surely you didn't just walk in to a purchase like this blind. The 2.1 update is going to be Sense UI too so why are you holding out for it? Why don't you just put a vanilla 2.1 ROM on your Hero and have it now without Sense?
