Broken htc Desire S screen

I was quoted £180 for a new replacement screen.

I did a search and found replacemyscreen dot co dot uk and they quoted £65, They came to my home and replaced the screen there and then. The quality is exactly the same as my original screen, I could not be happier:)
[Desire General] thebosh:
Just a quick one to say that I can highly recommend htcphonerepairs.co.uk. HTC Desire screen cracked, sent phone via Royal Mail Special Delivery (£5.80 I think) on Wed and got phone back today (Saturday) with brand new screen. Total price (excl. the £5.80) £59.99. Very good service indeed, and phone was sent back via Special Delivery as well, included in the price. A lot cheaper than HTC would have charged me....

[HD2 General] fjell_strom:
Hey all,

I'm hoping someone out there will be able to answer this one relatively quickly. I'm running the Elegancia ROM and use the email application which is cooked into that rom - I believe it is the standard for most HD2 roms.

I have access to two of my email accounts through the program: Hotmail and Yahoo! I set up my Yahoo account quite ordinarily, by going through Add New Account and then banging in my login details. Sweet. Using this setup method, I was able to select the Send/Receive Every Five Minutes option before finishing the setup wizard. All is gravy there. The emails come like clockwork.

To get the Hotmail account to work, however, I had to install Windows LIVE for Windows Mobile. While I did this, and am able to access my Hotmail emails using this email program, the emails do not come automatically - I am forced to manually open the program and push "Send/Receive" before any come down the pipeline. For the life of me, I can't find any way to just turn on some kind of Send/Receive automation like with the Yahoo account. The "normal" way of doing this (Menu - Account Settings - and then select the email account you want to fiddle with) is a no go: the Hotmail and Outlook accounts are both greyed out, and thus not available for modification in this way.

If anyone knows how to switch this particular function I need on, please weigh in. Thanks in advance.

-D.

how to send receive immediately, as you receive a mail
[HD2 General] babblerx:
Wouldn't want to put it to the test, but at least it proves the HD2 take a beating and keep on going, albeit without a touch screen (though that could be replaced).

[Desire General] Too51oll:
It's still something wrong but it's not apps2sd coz some people never apply it and their phone are partly bricked anyway (usb, sim, SD, fm radio) just from flashing different rom (without a2sd of course) Nobody knows what exactly causing this problemb but a2sd should be safe however as always do it at your own risk.
[Desire General] ZiCoN:
If this is the case, it could actually be an error from HTC's side, triggered by flashing another rom?
[Desire General] Too51oll:
It could be but remember we flashing unofficial stuff
[Desire General] msdl28712:
did apply it with none of the reported errors so its got to do with the handsets ie software, provider etc something has to be in common for the errors
[Desire General] Too51oll:
So did I but not at first attempt. My SD stopped working at first time as well as Bluetooth and not 100% sure of that but I think my usb hasn't been working either. Well it didn't work in fastboot (weird) it could've been my computer playing with me however I was unable to mount it as disk drive as well (had no option for that) I did explain what I've done to fix it but it didn't work for anyone else. So you might be right that could be related to handset. Luckly mine is back alive 100%.

Are you talking about a car charger? Like this one;?

http://www.4-mobiles-car-chargers.co.uk/sony-ericsson/t300/car-chargers/usb-car-charger-plug-head

If so it's not an official HTC charger and there is a known issue with some car chargers that require a soft reset agter the initial plug in. I am not aware of a workaround other than doing a soft reset. Tere are threads on these boards about this problem - but not an easy solution that I remember.

Somtimes it is easier spending 15 Eruros and 30 minutes than trying magic.

any ideas ? please
[HD2 General] babblerx:
change photo for a contact

Fairly easy to do...

Select the contact whose photo you want to change.

Select 'Edit Contact'

Select the small photo icon (right hand side of the bar that contains the text 'Edit Contact Card') in the top right of the edit contact screen.

You will get the options to use FB Profile pic, Outlook photo, Phone album photo or take a new pic with camera.

Hope this helps.

[Hero CDMA General] healed:
Hey guys, here's the deal. I can't feel my phone vibrating. My previous phone (good ol' Moto Rizr) vibrated like a freakin monster. The vibration alone when it was on the table beside my bed was enough to wake me up. The Hero...not so much. I'd describe this phone's vibration as a buzz, and the Rizr was more of a "rumble". What I'm wondering is, is there an app that allows you to change the frequency the phone vibrates at when receiving calls, alarms, etc.? I think lowering the frequency would solve the problem, but is it even possible to change?
[Hero CDMA General] chfields:
The only thing you can change is the pattern of the vibration. This is the one thing that really annoys me about this phone. So I just don't use the vibrate and take my chances at work.....luckily, I don't get many calls on it..............
[Hero CDMA General] jaylove74:
Search for the app smart vibrator it will help a little bit
[Hero CDMA General] chfields:
I tried smart vibrate and found it just allows you to customizing the length of the vibration, it does nothing for the strength/frequency....
[Hero CDMA General] poor_red_neck:
After taking the phone apart a few times, I can tell you its not just the speed at which the motor turns (frequency) but also the size of the counterweight. Its just not as big as some of the older clamshell phones. For the haptic feedback and what not, it needs a small weight that a small motor that it can turn very fast for a very short period of time.

The sacrifice is the "strength" of the vibration, which is set by the weight of the actual cam on the motor. Slowing the motor down would yes, probably cause more of a rumble.

If you feel adventerous enough, you could take the phone apart, and put a very small resistor in between the motor terminals... not sure how many ohms it would take, but problaby not much.
[Hero CDMA General] healed:
Thanks. I used to take computers apart for a living and for hobby...but I don't think I want to try it with the phone. I guess the only other option is setting a very long vibrate and hope I feel it eventually.

What is your experience with it? Is SPB 3.5.3 worth buying?

How's the battery life? And would you use it over Co0kie 1.7?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ridolfo:
Why don't you try it yourself? They have a 15-day free trial, after which you can simply uninstall it, if you don't like it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] autonomous-inc:
I have tried it, but I couldn't really tell with the battery. That, and if there was some glitch I didn't forsee, one that was crippling in the long-run, the 15 days I have won't mean much. I wouldn't be able to see the glitch/flaw until it was too late.

It works very similar to the Android OS, which means it's a skin that doesn't really do much other than help you organize your programs. I tried it out and I didn't see much benefit of using it over Sense.

As far as battery life goes, it eats up mine quite a bit faster than with Sense. I'm using the Rhodium.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] maddb:
I would highly recommend that you try it by yourself and see if it works for you. Personally, i hate Manilla and i've never liked Titanium.

I started using spb 4 years ago, on my first htc phone, the touch. From then i've upgraded to the Diamond, Touch Pro, and currently using Touching Pro 2. Guess what, i still don't like Manilla regardless.

I would recommend you check it out before anything, because you just might like.

However, if you like Manilla, then stick with what works for you. Everyone is going to post up their opinion, but in the end, its going to be your money on the line..lol..

good luck to you.

MobileShell gives your phone an Androidish feel (or should it be the other way around?). So if you like that...

I used it for a short period of time but got frustrated with it because it insists on replacing standard Windows Mobile applications with its own inferior (but shinier) versions. This is one of the main reasons I stopped using Manila/Sense

SPB's contact list and agenda view received most of my ire. If there was a way to simply launch the default applications when clicking on a SPB widget, I might have use for the software. There were other things though. The carousel is utterly useless bling, and add on widgets are very difficult to find, even off of SPB's webpage.

You should be able to put in a link to the stock applications and run those. I don't particularly like some of the Shell replacements, such as for contacts. But I use Pocket Informant, which actually has settings to integrate with SPB MS. So when I click the calendar I bring up PI instead of either Mobile Shell or Microsoft versions.

I find that SPB Mobile shell uses less battery, because it won't connect to the Internet all the time like Sense 2.5 does.

I've been using SPB since version 2, and I like it. It's much less resource-intensive than Sense, and I get better battery life with it. I don't automatically update didily squat, so that wasn't the difference-maker in regards to battery life. If any of y'all want the latest version of SPB available fo' free on the scene, pm me with yer email. The cab is a bit under 10 megs, so it's sendable through gmail.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] RobTsintas:
EnergyROM Titanium version comes with all NRGZ28's tweaks and pre-installed app choices, but without Sense. So I use that.

I occasionally switch back to Sense, but always decide that it's pretty but less useful, so always go back to SPB Mobile Shell, with MSkip's tweaks.

I absolutely love Mobile Shell , I bought it for my TILT and I get free upgrades. I love it because you can tweak it out in so many different ways and IMHO it blows sense/TF3 away I would highly recomend it if you like to customize, if you just want a bacic phone then stick with sense/TF3. There were battery issues in the beginning but the latest versions have fixed that. And yes I tripped out when i first held an android, because it felt just like the shell and I was like this isn't new. But you should try it out, or at least look around at all the things you can do with it !

They also offer a discount (I think 20%) if you already own another SPB product, and they have upgrade pricing.

You get free upgrades for minor changes (like 3.X), but a major change (like 5.x - which isn't out yet) will require a small upgrade fee.
