I updated to Fresh 2.1.1. Before, I had Fresh 1.1. I used QPST service programming to edit my systems roaming settings to all 'roaming only.' Since I updated to 2.1.1, QPST is not recognizing my phone. Windows still sees the phone on the COM ports, but it is not listed in QPST.

Any ideas?

Thanks

This is probably somewhere but cant find it. . . .

Without a custom ROM . . can my sense home screen and any other menus

Untrue, try this cab...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MalekoUK:
That cab does work, but as it has been mentioned before, it messes up other tabs, like music and photos for example.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nobnut:
Being both deaf and blind I have need for music or photos.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ILS_SuperNova:
thanks for the replies

if i wish to uninstall that file . . if it does mess up the tabs. . will it revert back to normal .. or does it have lasting effects??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nobnut:
It uninstalls without any negative effect whatsoever.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Zentury:
Maybe this is a better option. I am using it.

Does anyone know what version of the HTC messanger is and where I could possibly find a cab file to install it? it's partially installed in the energy rom but when you click all messages it goes back to the default WM one which I don't like, if found the cab for the version that's stock on the HD2 which is of course extremely laggy, this version however is not laggy while keeping the hole contacts linking thing of the HTC messanger.
[HD2 General] M3PH:
is there not an update on htc's website?
[HD2 General] Tunay:
I wonder about this as well...

No.
[HD2 General] chrisrj28:
That's Manilla messaging that is part of the Sense UI. It's not a fully integrated messaging as you will find in Sense 2.5 roms. NRG removes HTC messaging from his roms but that portion of it can still be accessed when using messages from Sense home screen. It's the same thing with Sense 2.1 for TP2 & earlier devices.

There are full HTC messaging .cabs available in the apps & themes forum, look for the HTC Messaging 2014 thread, but it's not going to look like that.

[Desire General] foxmeister:

Apples to Oranges comparison.

The Nexus One came with a bootloader you could unlock via fastboot - it even had a screen advising you that doing this would invalidate your warranty.

The Desires bootloader doesn't have this option, and it is unlikely that HTC will provide us with one, though I see no reason why they couldn't with the same caveat that you invalidate your warranty.

Therefore, realistically our best hope is that an engineering SPL "leaks" out for the Desire.

Dave
[Desire General] potter1984:
I take it, it's too much to reverse engineer it?

My hope is that some one dose it soon, then we will have a few more devs onboard too, considering they will be able to play with the hardware/software as they please.

I still think its close tho.

We have been here many times before with other devices, but im guessing they were not so Locked down :(

Haha nice one :)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] photonmedia:
I posted this on another user's thread but it may be more relevant here...

One issue I have noticed is with the "default playlist." I'm not sure if it is a bug or what, but I normally keep my music on "shuffle all." After a certain amount of time of not using the music app, then next time I open it, it reverts back to wanting to play the first 100 tracks in my library. I then have to click back on the library list and choose "shuffle all" again to get the rest of my music to load up.

My BT is fully integrated with my car stereo and this one little thing is the only thing causing me to have to pull my phone out of my pocket when I get in my car.

Has anyone else noticed this when using the HTC music app? On my Droid, using the standard 2.1 Music app It would always just pickup playback where I left off.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] photonmedia:

[HD2 General] fratealberto:
I apologize with administrators of this site if this topic was

already discussed and if I am using the forum to address a

claim on this phone model. I hope someone form HTC would be

reading this forum so please let me also write this message to them.

Dear HTC,

mostl of us already know, HD2 screen is extremely fragile,

made of tiny glass, and we all have to keep care with it.

I did, I read what happened to other users before of me,

and I always was careful in handling it. Almost I thought it up to

few weeks ago.

Accidents are non predictable and it happened to me that HD2 has fallen from the bed down on the parquet and broke its screen in a hundreds of pieces. As for the other the phone was still working but unusable.

My first though was it is my fault, I had to be more careful, but after a while a really do not understand why a phone should be so fragile. It was really the first fall of the phone and the height was really short (about 30cm)

Why your phone should not have to pass at least a 30cm fall test.

Probably this should have been a condition to prevent selling phones to unacquainted customers. But this is not the case for HD2.

But the incredible thing had still to come, after checking the cost for replacement parts on the web (from 25 to 50 euros) I send the phone to HTC repair and now it is coming back with a bill of 220 Euro.

I have to say that this policy is regrettable, the cost for the repair is more than 1/3 of the cost of the whole device, and about 10 times the cost of

the replacement, event if the cause of rupture is not to be fully charged to the responsibility of the customer.

Unfortunately I had a responsibility on this phone against my company and I had to pay the repair at any cost, but for no reason I should have done it if I was the proprietary of the phone.

I had tenths of mobiles before, and really this is the only one who broke at its first fall.

I am writing this message not only to claim about this unfair repair policy that is demonstrated by the overcharge applied from the assistance, but also to warn all those users like me that use this phone as a means of work and choose their phones on the technical specifications and rely to the quality of the producer.

I am surprised from HTC since I already had three mode HTC devices before of this, and neither experienced this fragility in their previous models. But, this was not the case for HD2. Its robustness do not respect even a poor standard.

Finally I wish to warn other forum users about the cost actually applied for repair.

Best Regards

C.Alberto
[HD2 General] Infralol:
I'm sorry that your screen broke and the repair was so expensive , but from first hand experience I can tell you the phone isn't as fragile as you describe it.A week back a friend of mine was playing ShootMe(game where you use accelerometer to simulate different guns) and the phone slipped off his hand(around 1m height) and slided for around half a meter on a parquet floor.I rushed to pick it up , ready to shed some manly tears for my 1 week old phone , but when I picked it up there was nothing except some dust(I had invisible shield so that probably saved it from scratching).Needless to say after that incident I got a pouch .Anyway , I'm not saying it is not fragile , it is ,just not to the extend you are describing or maybe I was lucky?
[HD2 General] ianjd:
I can't imagine an HD2 suffering any damage falling 30cm onto a wood floor. I dropped mine recently over a meter onto the pavement, resulting in only small marks in the plastic.
[HD2 General] fratealberto:
Depends

I guess it strongly depends on the angle of impact with the floor, it it goes down with the back then could be ok, but if, such as in my case it impact from one edge, it does not match the height, the display will break.

I can clearly see on my display the the point of impact along the edge from where the break started, and I repeat in that case it was only 30 cm high.

I guess you have been really lucky in your episode, since mine was the first fall first break actually I experienced 100% fragility.

I had read alot of similar happenings before thinking I was alone and decide to write.
[HD2 General] fratealberto:
sending it back

... and actually I am seriuosly thinking to send it back, I have a work always on the go, and this is a risk too high in case of continuous travels.
[HD2 General] lquigley:
Insurance

I bought mine unlocked, paid alot. Ins. was 85.00 for 2 yrs against water,screen, pretty much everything. I have dropped mine twice from 1m,no damage. I do have it in piel frama Imagnum case. Both times it landed on corner. Sorry for your lose,,,Quig

[HD2 General] gjizaqin:
Last night the same thing happened like it happened to OP, my hd2 felt from my bed into the wooden floor. I was ready to cry after it felt but for my surprise it wasn't even scratched at all. While taking it out of under bed it got some little scratches on the screen protector but no scratch on the phone itself or any other visible damage.

I will agree with OP here, it all depends on the angle of the fall.
[HD2 General] spamtrash:
Mine fallen from approx 1.5m onto concrete tiles. Case in the corner got scratched, but the display/touchscreen survived it. It was 30cms only indeed? Amazing :(
[HD2 General] harddisk_wp:
yeah, it always depends on where exactly your hd2 falls... same with the gayPhones...
[HD2 General] fratealberto:
Next time I will better do to send it in Portugal for repair :-) At least it is 50Euros less
[HD2 General] fratealberto:
Did you had also the LCD repaired for that price?

The price for reparation of mine was only the capacitive Glass cover

We'll see

Just bought one from someone who went to Google I/O. Comes with 30 days free service. I'll try it out, and if I like it, I'll set it up on my main number and sell the TP2. If not, I'll sell the EVO.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] outbackvandy:
I drool over it... But I just love my sprint SERO plan so much more. With the extra savings from the service plan each year, I could buy a laptop... HAHA.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] antjc80:
Got my $50 preorder first day it was available. I was drooling over the HD2 until it was announced it was coming to T-Mobile..... this is the chance to get a very similar phone with a better operating system (AND FOR SPRINT!!!)

I don't know how anyone would turn away from this phone....even if you are only in a 3G area.... show if off to everyone you know that has an iPhone and watch their jaws drop!

BTW, who in their right mind would pay $30 to tether when the phone has been rooted before it started shipping.....(?)

Hook up with an Everything Data plan with a *COUGH* "Corporate Discount" and you have a monthly price that rivals the old SERO plans
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] indagroove:
+1 for that, but..

"Corporate Discount", eh? Will have to look into that..
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] m4f1050:
Only way is if they come out with a WinMo "EVO" (HD2 CDMA)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] defaultdotxbe:
i already get that reaction with my TP2, lol

are you referring to EPRP? because that price doesnt rival SERO at all, and I heard you cant activate an EVO on those plans
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] antjc80:
Nope, just using an Corporate Employee Plan with Everything Data wireless plan. I have 3 lines that split 1500 anytime mins, unlimted text/data/gps/nav, and AnyMobile Anytime for $120/mo

On the "iPhone" bit, the people I know that have those POS's are so dense they think the TP2 is worse BECAUSE it has a qwerty keyboard.... HA HA HA
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] sid.leake@gdsonline.net:
No bluetooth dialing so I'm staying with the TP2

I upgraded from the original touch to the HTC Hero for about 2 hours. First time I tried to voice dial in the car I nearly wrecked. Went straight to the sprint store and traded it in on the TP2. Even though sprint says you can try any phone for 30 days they neglect to tell you about the $35 restock fee. (Boo sprint) I've fallen in love with the device. It wasn't immediate love but after the upgrade to 6.5, it's as close to perfect as I've ever seen. I can't believe Google in all its infinite wisdom would leave such an important tool off the latest release.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] antjc80:
Froyo 2.2 does include bluetooth dialing, and voice activated text messages (That supposedly works very good..... we will see). Any N1, Droid, or EVO users should get the OTA update within a few months of this coming out. Those creative enough can get it much quicker if you know how.

I look at it this way: I have done nothing but gone up with windows mobile phone - HTC Titan, HTC Mogul, HTC TouchPro, HTC TouchPro2.... the software gets a little better with every revision, but never really gets me too excited about what it is capable of. (At least until MaxSense is released) And even that is a USER driven addon. The first time I played with Eclair on my TP2, I knew it was time for a change. I download the Android SDK and the Froyo emulator...........it is like the first time using and actually understanding Linux........ actually, it's EXACTLY the same. With the exception that with the EVO, you will also have a huge 4.3" screen, front facing camera, and one of the fastest processors available in a mobile phone. And this is for $150 less that I paid for the TP2 (Bought in middle on contract - so picked it up on ebay new for $400 just after it came out) vs. $250 for the EVO after the rebate.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] eric12341:
i don't get why so people are so high strung on thinking that android is better than wm from my experience with the android builds it seems to not be much different or anymore or less capable. however because its not Windows , the fact that i just got s free tp2 and that i don't have 4G coverage here in my area (chicago suburbs) i will have to pass on the evo untill someone manages to port wm to it and/or when 4G is available in my area.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] m4f1050:
I love my TP2, but I liked more the Imagio's sleek design, no slide-out keyboard though... To me, the Evo looks like the Imagio, but running Android, not my choice of OS but it's "ok".. +1 to have a WM "Evo"
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] antjc80:
To be honest, I would have loved the HD2 had it come to sprint. When I heard it was going to Tmobile I felt a lot like I might as well hang onto the TP2......When I saw the specs for the EVO i litterally thought " wow, its an HD2 with some extra stuff..... but it runs android." This is where I started playing with android on the TP2, started asking people I knew that had an android phone what they thought about it, went to the cell phone stores and played with all the phone ( thats a bad habit anyway :->) I don't want to come out rash and say that this OS is better than a WM Phone..... it is just different. It has a lot of useful features, different UI customizations, and most obviously - different from what I have been using for quite a while now. Is the EVO the best phone ever made??? It might be now.... but I doubt it....

Is it the best phone Sprint has to offer? NO DOUBT, YES IT IS!

I am sure the new iPhone will get everyones attention, and verizon will be stepping up it's LTE towards the end of the year.... we will probably see at least 4-5 MUCH better phones than the EVO before the end of the year. But this is as good as it gets for sprint for at least the next 6 months, maybe even a year.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] m4f1050:
Yeah, HD2 is very very nice. Just not CDMA :(

The WM preference is personal, since I program .net and I can write my own apps. Is there a .net android compiler out there? I don't know..but would be nice to know of..
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] antjc80:
Can't say that I know of one..... - as .net is MS's baby.....

Off topic: This seems absolutely ludacris to me, and would be considered "illegal" due to the fact that the phones are not licensed as such, but has anyone ever tried to port Windows Mobile to an Android handset?

Not that I would have much interest, but it seems as though I have read here and on other forums that if a user could dual-boot into WM and Android (ie GenY Dual Boot designed for WM Phones) they would be more inclined to at least give android a shot. (?)

Figured it was worth throwing out there.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] m4f1050:
It's HTC's lil secrets (booting addys and hardware drivers) they can if they wanted to, but do they want to?

Here is a good one, same processor, obviously same of a lot of stuff that compose the devices, can an HD2 rom be tested on an EVO? hmmmm
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] antjc80:
I'm sure if it's possible we will see someone who has the time give it a shot.....

Though I wouldn't be wasting my time to try something like this - if someone else put in the legwork I would PROBABLY try it and see how it ran:cool:
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] joe50000:
I honestly just don't like soft keys.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] m4f1050:
Me neither, and funny thing is I had (back in the days) a Samsung SCH-i730 (verizon) that ran WM 2003 and then upgraded it to WM 5 and that's when I started seeing the softkeys!!! And I did like them at the moment, of course, it was new and you gotta have what's new! LOL
[Nexus One General] injadaninja:
When I rebooted my phone this morning, it was essentially back to factory settings. The start-up wizard came up. All my shortcuts and widgets were back to the default and none of my apps were working.

Signing in to my google account seemed to restore most stuff. And the market still had a list of all the apps I'd installed, even if they were no longer installed. I had to uninstall and reinstall everything. Had to reset up the email app, twitter, facebook etc. SD card contents were still there.

Just to be clear, the apps weren't actually installed, they just appeared to be in the market.

This was just turning my phone on in the morning - I see no point in having it switched on all night!

Any idea what happened or why or whether it's likely to happen again??
[Nexus One General] Talderon:
I am sure some would like to help, however, your post is lacking many critical details:

1. Are you rooted?

2. What ROM are you on?

3. Did you install anything new or update anything yesterday?

Details, we're not magicians (ok, maybe some of the Dev's here are)... :D
[Nexus One General] injadaninja:
sorry, bit of a noob!

i am not rooted, i have a stock nexus one running 2.1.1

[EVO 4G Android Development] clamknuckle:
This is probably not going to be the final ROM. I've seen it in other places where it says "test" at the end of the file name.

They did this with the Hero and Pre as well. The phone got out for training and events and such, but there's more than likely going to be another ROM right before or right after launch.
