[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
Would you have to pay full price for the phone?

The reason I ask is because you can generally find it at the same price as other smartphones. For example: At T-Mobile, both the Touch Pro 2 and the HD2 were the same price ($199 w/2y).

Even full price it is comparable to others like the Nexus One and the iPhone.

If you were planning to purchase a new smartphone, these are the prices you are going to be dealing with.

Oh, and I bought the TP2 a full week before I bought the HD2. It was very hard to convince my wife that this was something I had to have ;) Even though I sold the TP2 at a profit that same day, we had to work out a deal where she got a kitchen gadget she had been looking at for a while :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] timfoster:
I installed the beta some time ago. I recently got a message when I tried using Excel on my phone saying that the beta had expired. I uninstalled it but discovered that it doesn't put the original version back. I happened to be on the Windows Marketplace and saw a new version. I thought (although I couldn't swear to it) that it said it was 2010. I downloaded it (at a cost of £20) and installed it, only to discover it was 2007 and I'd been charged £20 for something I already owned. I raised it with Microsoft who, to be fair, refunded the £20 without question. However, next time I connected to Marketplace, it said it was trying to remove the 2007 version (presumably due to the refund). It didn't actually remove it though and I am using 2007 without any problem.

Now, I'm on Marketplace again today and there again is Office Mobile 2010. I've read it carefully and it doesn't say it's a beta. It says it's an upgrade for existing owners of Office 2007. I've tried to install it but I just get an error saying it can't connect to Marketplace.

So, my questions are:

Is Office Mobile 2010 actually released (or am I being misled towards the beta again)? Office 2010 desktop is released for bulk licencing.

Are my installation problems likely to be because of the previous install/refund?

How the hell do I solve it without a hard reset???

I loaded MobiTv and have played with it a bit. But I am really frustrated because everything is either news, or teasers. I want to know what full length shows do they have. Does anyone know where I can find a programming guide? I went to their site but could not find one. Does someone have FLO TV for WM? Their site has a complete programming guide. Looks very professional.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] demandarin:
i have mobi tv also. i know what cha mean. lol the best way is the little tv guide there in the program itself. U can press the direction button to go over more to the left and itll show upcoming shows on that channel. U probably already knew that but just in case. I dont know of a more detailed one. I like mobi tv, but probaly gonna end it soon. not worth the extra $10 a month for the service wit at&t. its cool but too many teaser stuff. i can look at the stuff on the web wit skyfire for free ;) plus they b showing alot of the same series over and over again. the same episode.

I used your Ticket system ...and didnt explain everything.

So maybe you friends, can help me out.

Here is the descripton, that I didnt send with my ticket (no 598668).

ser name: Chovus

Please friends, if you catch time, and want to help, you can send me NETWORK/sim UNLOCK code. I give up from iPhone, and give it to my brother. This is my first WinMobile phone, so I was not a big poster on forum. I am using it right know as a MP4 player ;-)

I just unlocked the phone, and installed custom ROM. New radio also, but SIM is not working...I know that I have to pay, but I am not having PayPal in my country (you can check it), neither any VISA.

I just get this phone from my uncle, and I wanted to use it in Sebia.

IMEI :

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Please, and i thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Chovus:
Sorry if my English is bad...I use gTranslate ;-)

Phone is HTC Touch Pro 2 (T-mobile)....so GSM
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sirphunkee:
Chovus, please edit your post to remove the IMEI number. It is not a good idea to make that visible to everyone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Chovus:
Thanks for advice friend.

So I will PM my IMEI if anyone want to help. Thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] papo:
that unlock service is not working. I get no response at all. go to ebay, search for "unlock pro2" it's $10 there and you'll get answer the same day with a code.

for paypal you can register in another country. or not register at all. you don't need to be registered to send $. just use bank card with enabled online shopping (like visa card)
[Nexus One General] Talderon:
Found this on another board and thought it was worth sharing:

http://androidheadlines.com/2010/05/verizon-dumps-nexus-one-google.html

Does not look like any more phones are going to come directly from Google, however, I am still VERY happy with my Nexus One!! :D
[Nexus One General] darx:
Ill reserve my judegement for an official announcement, I dont see anything that indicates google is done with phones.
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
They are definitely not done with phones. They will continue to develop the software, and might just pull out of the "hardware" business and leave that to HTC.
[Nexus One General] arkavat:
well the only thing confirmed in the article is that Verizon did not cancel the phone. Google did.

Rest is pure speculation of the blogger. If Google wanted to quit completely... why did they launch the at&t version?

Phones for verizon and Sprint (CDMA etc) are not as straight forward as for T-Mobile and At&T (GSM). The phones have to be locked to verizon and sprint.. they are always at the mercy of the provider. GSM are standard based and all you need is SIM card to move from one service to other. You are not tied to a carrier.

Anyways... I will avoid speculating further myself...There are just way too many things going on in the corporate world.

Just be assured... Google has shares in the market... they will have to release a press release and give good reason to cancel phone business as the phone business was in black. They can't cancel any profitable business without explaining it to investors.
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
The nexus one is profitable to google? At&t version shouldn't be too hard since it's gsm like T-Mobile. Maybe they just decided they don't want to make a cdma phone since gsm is the standard around the world anyway.
[Nexus One General] :
What google wants to do can't be done with the two biggest cell phone companies because it's a closed ecosystem.
[Nexus One General] arkavat:
yes. Nexus One is profitable

[Nexus One General] krabman:
Not one sentence of that is from a public/official source. Google on the other hand has said publicly that they are making money, they are happy with what they were getting out of it, they plan to stay in it for the long haul. Hmmmm.
[Nexus One General] norazi:
I actually like that the nexus has poor sales.... Its a great phone than no one bought (mostly due to zero marketing and lack of tech support) so it gives it a sense of exclusivity. Usually to get such exclusivity you have to buy a crappy phone or a really overpriced one. and google is not hurting financially... this was more of a science project for them

Its quite different from when I had my iphone... I remember I would be out on a dinner and when the “apple ringtone” went off, 10 people would bust out their iphones, no people contantly ask me what phone i have
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Google should have put a Beta tag on google.com/phone. :D

Then no one would have complained about the low sales and it would be clear that this is just them getting their feet wet.

Put it this way: the next phone Google sells on their website, you can be guaranteed that sales (and off-line advertising) will be much higher.
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
Yep, cant wait for Nexus Two. :)
[Nexus One General] rheza02:
omg, we are too exclusive now.

I still don't see a timetable in either of those two links. It might be better if I went over to t-mobile store and picked one up.. that way I could see if "dust is under the screen" or some sorta damage on it... idk..

Looks as though they will still sell it online and in stores and eventually they will do away with online all together.
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
Yep they just "announced" it. No specific date on when they'r pulling the plug on the online store.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] IDrinkV8:
Hi,

I recently lost my phone. I have got it back, but after I offered a reward for it. Anyway, at that time I realized that I need to have the data on the phone wiped in case my phone was stolen/lost again.

After googling for a while, I found couple of interesting features that would together provide basic security I need.

1) Wipe the phone (relfash/cold restart) after X pasword retries

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc842616.aspx

2) Encrypt the memory card, so that it can not be used outside of the phone or after the reflash as in step 1.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb416357.aspx

All that is sooo promising. The only problem is that it relies on changing Security Policies. Right now, the only way to change them that I know of is from Microsoft Exchange Server. The thing is, I do not have an Exchange server, and would like to find a way to change those policies somehow by either editing registry, or maybe editing security policy file directly.

Does anybody know how to do this?

Specific policies I need to edit is for instance

SECPOLICY_LASS_DESKTOP_QUICK_CONNECT

TIA
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] IDrinkV8:
Anybody?

Nobody knows how to edit security policies manually?

For some reason, not sure what I have done, my PC won't detect the usb-drive correctly. It does find the drive (Win XP 32bit) and assigns a drive letter, but the drive is not accessible. Also, the phone does not detect that it is in a PC, e.g. the "ask me" menu does not pop up. I have tried disabling debugging, installing new drivers, removing drivers and what not. Works fine on PCs which have never had HTC-drivers installed... Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anarchyuk:
You could try a earlier version of HTC sync
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delanvital:
Just did.

I then managed to wipe the PC of the drivers, I think. At least the system was unable to install the drivers, when it detected the hardware, and asked for drivers.

Then the phone should still work as a USB-drive, at least, without any drivers. And it does on other PCs. But not this one. Odd!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anarchyuk:
try this, not sure if it will help, in device manager look for 0000.001a.0007.003.000.000.000.000.000 or similar in the usb mass storage devices you have

upgrade the driver, select you will pick from a list, uncheck compatible hardware on the manufacture window scroll up to standard usb host controllers, then in the right hand windows select usb composite device! once its done detach phone and reboot pc and try again!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delanvital:
I wiped the phone. I was certain it was not the phone, since other PCs would work fine, but just in case... and guess what, it works. I guess it was all that testing with getting JIT to work under SuperHero 1.0.1 that ****ed it up. Just re-applying JIT again to see if it causes the same problem...

Edit: And now JIT causes a wiped phone to crash. Better stay away from that for a while :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a_sandhu:
Hey guys, i'm looking to buy a phone in the near future, and have 3 options in my price range (a trade in for my Touch HD with a broken memory card slot..). I'm looking at the Nokia N900, HTC Desire or iPhone 3G (not 3GS).

I'm heavily swayed towards the desire - the screen looks amazing, the build quality looks good..and it runs Android which I've wanted for a while..

Now I don't actually have an internet bolt-on with my contract (I am an O2 UK Customer), so browsing isn't the most important feature, though I do regularly use available Wi-Fi connections. I'm guessing in that respect, the N900 is the one to go for?

Moving on...operating systems. Anyone had experience with Maemo? (N900 operating system). What is it like? Does it hang or crash much..i'm coming from Windows Mobile 6.1 so I know how annoying it can be having to constantly restart your mobile phone.

One of, if not THE most important things to me is the music player. My iPod got stolen, so i've been using my Touch HD for a while now, and while the quality is okay, the music player drains the battery something crazy..whats the HTC Desire like with say 3-4 hours music playing on average a day, and moderate telephony (mostly SMS, with a few phone calls)? Anyone had experience with the N900? From reviews i've read that the iPhone 3G does well here..but alot of people I know who own one, don't agree..but they've had their iPhones a long long time, and use alot of applications..their batteries could well just need replacing.

Anything else anyone wants to comment to help my decision? In looking at reviews HTC Desire seems to come up top..but how does it relate to the average user? I do occasionaly engage in some geeky activities with my mobile phone...but it's more important to me as just that - a Mobile Phone.

Any views are welcome, I look forward to hearing your replies!

Many thanks in advance!

Amar

P.s. If you're heavily biased to any of the handsets (I know..i'm posting in the HTC Desire section) please try to give as objective an opinion as you can! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zzleezz:
Non biased :) you won't get a lot of love here for iPhone!

I've been using my desire very heavily since I got it a month ago (usually bored of things before 30 days but this thing is just amazing) and the battery is pretty good. I charge it every night anyway but thats mainly because I have it running white noise to help me sleep (really works). I would say if I used it the same as I used to use my touch hd then it would probably last me 2 to 3 days. Also dont forget that you can carry a spare battery with the desire and you can't with the iPhone. Spare batteries are pretty cheap, usually less than 20gbp.

I play a lot of music on it and think that the whole music experience is very good. Some people say that the volume is not loud enough but I find that with decent headphones its perfect for me on about 80 to 90%. Played through my car stereo it sounds fantastic. Not had a lot of experience with the iPhone music interface but the desire one does everything I want it to and if I need more there are plenty of aps that can replace the default player.

If you really are a geek then Android really is the only option. There are so many ways to waste your time on the desire its frightening. In the last month I have barely touched my desktop and that very rare for me.

As far as WiFi access goes the desire is permanently connected to my router. I do have mobile net too but only use that when out and about.

If your choice was between desire and iPhone 3gs I would still choose the desire. You are choosing between desire, iPhone 3gs (can't comment on the other one I have no experience with it) then I can't see any competition really.

Android gets better and better and is still very young.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a_sandhu:
:eek: 2-3 days?! My Touch HD only goes for about a day...then again...i've abused the battery by leaving it on charge overnight...can't do the battery any good I suppose!

Volume isn't an issue, I own a portable amplifier (PA2V2..search it on eBay). On a side note, it's highly recommended to buy a portable amplifier.. I've not seen my music the same way since!

Thank you zzleezz..I think i'm pretty much decided already now! Apps and geeky goodness is what I look for in a phone haha..:D

I think now it's just between N900 and the Desire, though I already know I'm going to choose the Desire haha... I'm just one of those people who like to know for definite before they invest!

Also..as a newbie to Android, are there a lot of free apps? I am but a lowly student! The on-line Android App store won't let you check..you have to browse it from an Android Phone to see it properly..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myth1001:
I recently just got a HTC Desire and my girlfriend has a Nokia N900.

I have never seen my girlfriend's N900 crashing but there was a bit of slowdown when a few GBs of songs are transferred into the phone. It was alright after a reboot. For multimedia, I think I would say N900 is the best. It has got good speakers and camera.

The hardware keyboard is pretty nice as well.

However, I don't like the resistive touch screen. I find it really hard to use compared to capacitive touch screen.

Battery life on N900 is pretty good. Perhaps better than the Desire.

For operating system,

I see Maemo as something in between Symbian and Android. There are some similarity between them.

FOr the HTC Desire,

I've only had it for 1 day+ but I'm loving it. :D

Battery on Desire is definitely better than my previous HTC HD2.

Everything is smooth and fluid. Installing/uninstalling apps never take more than 5secs each, which you don't see in N900 or Windows mobile.

I never use my phone as a mp3 player as I have an Ipod classic. So I can't comment on that.

Never had an Iphone before. Can't comment on that as well.

In all,

unless you really really like a hardware keyboard, better speakers, slightly longer battery life, I would suggest you skip the N900.

unless you are really an Iphone fan, I suggest you skip iphone as well.

Do some research on HTC Desire's bugs, shortcomings, disadvantages.

If you can live with that, I would suggest you get the Desire.

Since it has got better specs than the other 2 phones as well. :D

If you want a multimedia phone and you are not willing to geek around it you should go for the iPhone. As an ex iphone user i would say that it's a perfect user-friendly, foolproof phone, which would hardly leave you on the road without multimedia (of course if you don't thinker it much, it's software is quite fragile). But that's just it - iPhone is only for multimedia (at least for me). Most of the apps are just plain copy of another app on the appstore and they sux. I've found just 1-2 which i liked much (one RISK clone and a Google analytics app).

But if you want a phone, with a bit more power, to be able to do stuff you are used on your pc (if you use pc), then go for the Desire. I had it for a week now and I could say that it blows away the iPhone for me. Wouldn't go back apple's way again ... (well if they don't release a free blowjob accessory for iPhone,pod,pad... :)))

Also if you go with iphone, forget easy management of songs, but you already know that from your ipod (as the big difference here is that for managing songs on iPhone, you NEED itunes, it's not detectable as flash-drive).
