[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wocko1:
So far Google Maps 4.4 is out and THERE IS STILL NO WAY TO SET IT TO METRIC! I really can't believe it. I used MoreLocale2 to change it to en-AU, still STONE AGE measurements, but when I set it to a non-English language, it shows in metric.

Seriously, does anyone know how to fix this? I've searched everywhere. It has happened in both the default Telstra 2.1, and also the WWE Froyo official ROM.

I seriously feel sorry for fellow Aussies, Kiwis, Singaporeans, Canadians and any other English speaking country who uses metric measurements, who are forced to live with this stupid oversight.

Sorry, but it's just plain annoying.

Miles and yards ftw!!! :D

Aren't car speedos in Oz in MPH?? Thought they were...EDIT: No, you're backwards on KMH
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wocko1:
No Aussie cars have their speedometers in km/h, and we ditched MPH back in 1974. All road signs including speed limits are in metric. Plus I grew up with metric measurements too.

Backwards? Pah. How many feet in a yard? How many yards to a mile?

Better yet how many countries use caveman measurements? I count four. The Poms, The Yanks, Liberians, and Burmese.

Now let's stop trolling and get back on the rails please?

Does anyone have a fix for my problem? My phone is already rooted if thats any help.

cheers
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wocko1:
BUMP! I take it you just can't do it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wocko1:
Well the new version of maps are out but still no fix. I can't seem to force the maps app to en-au to try and set the damn thing to metric as it defaults to en-gb. I did manage to get rid of the American terminology in Places at least but it still measures in miles.

I wish someone would help, surely there has to be someone who would know or even tried instead of cocky people who hasn't been or lived outside of the UK or US and give me smartarse comments.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wocko1:
Hard to believe that no one has an answer. My Galaxy S2 shows it correctly in km where my Xoom shows it in miles. Googling gave nothing and still couldn't find an answer
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Mate i'm from Oz and my maps show correctly in km.. Not sure how though sorry :/

Swyped from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s_superman:
it used to show Metric units till update 6.10

back when it was metric I set the language to English(China)

Hope this helps

Go to settings --> general settings--> international--> Region Format = United States
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Covisio:
Sorry to resurrect a very old thread - I was searching for an answer on this and have found a workaround:

Sign out of your normal Google ID, then choose a domain country that uses the units you want to use. I am in the UK and usually sign in to Google.co.uk. If I log in to Google.fr (France), then sign in, I can still see my saved places, etc., but the units are now in metres.

[HD2 Accessories] Purple Drama Llama:
Okay, so today I bought a brand new HTC HD2 [T-Mobile version] and i'm looking for a case. I've been expecting on buying one for a few weeks now and have already been looking at cases. It's really hard for me to make this decision on protecting my device, I need design, protection, and features but I have 3 options provide only 1 of those needs. Here are my options:

DESIGN

So this is my design option. It's very stylish and I absolutely love it. It was the first case I loved for the HTC HD2, but I'm sacraficing design for protection and features. The best part about this case is that it's stylish, and that it gives great protection to the camera, also matches my new chrome headphones! Big PLUS. It's $20, which are the same price as the other two. The down side to this case is that i've read when taking it off, it scratches the phone easily and is hard to take off.

PROTECTION

This is my protection option. The case is made of alumnium and is very durable, it covers the T-Mobile logo which is important to me because I hate branding. The inside of the case is lined with a foam padding and the case is very easy to take off. It has hinges where you just pull and it unlocks. Down sides are mainly design wise, it's a little to plain and industrial looking for me. It also does not provide cover of the camera, another important thing.

FEATURE

This case is actually alright in attractive-ness. Looks a little bulky but nice, provides decent protection. I've heard it's semi-difficult to take off and sometimes scratches the phone. Plus side is that it has a KICKSTAND, which might come in handy for me when watching the many movies I have in store on putting on the device.

So what do you think? What should I go for?
[HD2 Accessories] barronedson:
personnaly i would go for the first one, the other two are just to bulky and ugly for my liking. but if not the first one then the last one. the aluminum one just doesnt look right
[HD2 Accessories] BIOYAM:
I like this one too. Where did you locate it?
[HD2 Accessories] Purple Drama Llama:
I added a poll, when I get my HD2 which should be around Wednesday I will close it and choose the option with the most votes. I'd still like to hear comments and possibly other options if you don't like any of those. I prefer the brand name [just the way I roll], I really can't wait for that Otterbox communter series case to come out.
[HD2 Accessories] PoisonWolf:
Why don't you get a cloth pouch? I find those to be much better. I personally prefer to hold the phone as it is without any cases attached to it as it really destroys the beauty of the device in my opinion.
[HD2 Accessories] Purple Drama Llama:
When I got my LG Incite, a few years ago I bought a clear, hardshell case for it. I one day took it off finally [it was so hard to take off] and their were scratches all over the phone even though I put it on new and took it off for the first time 3 days later. After that I was a silicone person and silicone only! Bought 7 silicone cases for that Incite after I got the replacement from warranty. After my Incite I bought a Fuze, got a silicone case for it but it was really annoying and to a point where it would fall off everytime I held the phone [after 4 days]. After the annoying silicone I got a hard case with a carbon fiber design. Every hard case I owned was 2 piece, so when I went to take it off after the hassle It took to put it on, the screen would sometimes pulsate from disconnecting something I suppose which freaked me out. I then got a ATT Tilt 2. There were no silicone cases out for it and so I was desperate and settled for a rubberized hard case. I didn't use it till I cracked it for easy application and removal, still only used it 2 times maybe. Still in fear of another "pulsating" screen. Now i'm where I am today, I have way more options than the other phones previously.
[HD2 Accessories] PoisonWolf:
OP,

The problem with hard cases is simple. It does not block out the tiny particles that build up inside the case over time. And some of these particles will scratch the phone and/or screen if you have tiny grit and stuff stuck in it that came either from the wind, in your pocket, your hands, etc.

I speak from the perspective of using hard cases on the PSP, and no matter how good the protection is, it simple doesn't stop tiny particles from getting in there. *Shrugs*
[HD2 Accessories] Purple Drama Llama:
I know, that's why I'm buying a Case-Mate GO BARE full body protecter that does not need a solution to be applied along with 1 of these cases.
[HD2 Accessories] buzz killington:
The first one is the Case Mate barely there correct? I thought their cases only fit the international versions, same for their Go Bare kits.

Assuming all three fits your phone, I'd go with the first one for a practical reason. When a case protrudes over the surface of the surface edge, I often have trouble hitting the Ok/X to close/minimize an app. I find that I need that a lot along with other things that are at the edge of the screen. The standard rubber case only sticks out a little but it still gets in the way.

Personally I'd just go with the Go Bare when they finally make one for the US HD2 and forget about the hard cases. I don't think they offer more protection than the rubber one. The phone is pretty sturdy, the weakest part is the glass screen, that's more vulnerable to shock and the rubber offers more protection from shock than most hard cases.
[HD2 Accessories] Purple Drama Llama:
The Go Bare and Case-Mate Barely There both fit the US version as well. I honestly would prefer an OtterBox Defense case, but who knews if one will ever come out. The last one for HTC phones was for the touch! Their working on a Commuter Series right now. Thinking about the Case-Mate one though...
[HD2 Accessories] zarathustrax:
You do realize that there is a size difference between the US and the euro models of the HD2, right? Hard cases made for the euro models will not fit the US model as the US model is taller.
[HD2 Accessories] friend'scatdied:
Are you sure all of those cases fit the TMOUS HD2? It is 1.5mm taller than the Eurasian HD2, and all of those stock photos show the classic white hardware buttons that are indicative of Eurasian HD2s. I am 100% certain that the hard cases (i.e. no "give" to the material) designed for the Eurasian and Australian HD2s (T8585 and T9193) will NOT fit the TMOUS HD2, especially not the Case-mate Barely There which is a criminally tight case.
[HD2 Accessories] Purple Drama Llama:
The Case-Mate does defenitly fit it, I read a review on the case-mate site where someone said it does in fact fit. The kickstand one is from the T-Mobile website, so I dont think they would sell something that does not fit their own device. The alumnium one Also is made for the T-Mobile one as well.
[HD2 Accessories] Purple Drama Llama:
Also, The case mate one does NOT cover the top and bottom of the phone, basically only the back. Plus, 1.5mm is a very very small ammount.
[HD2 Accessories] friend'scatdied:
True, but if you notice the top and bottom curve in a little bit. Basically with that one you're guaranteeing scratching of the rubber if you put it on the TMO.

Cases are useless if they don't protect your device, so the aluminum one is probably best.
[HD2 Accessories] Purple Drama Llama:
Oh how much I yearn for a OtterBox Defense.... LOL.
[HD2 Accessories] os91:
I currently have that 3rd case that i picked up from a t-mobile store. I haven't had any trouble with dust but i also use it in combination with an old sidekick pouch that i had lying around. I use the kickstand at least once a day and i just took off my case, no scratches on it. There is a possibility that there will be scratches if you constantly have to remove the case to perform a battery pull which i don't do often. In my opinion the case looks great. I used to have one of those full protection skins on my PSP and i didn't really like it because of all the points where there wasn't any protection would attract a nasty amount of dirt. I must admit that otterbox case looks great. I would consider buying one if a t-mobile version came out.
[HD2 Accessories] Purple Drama Llama:
I hate leather cases...
[HD2 Accessories] zarathustrax:
I'm the opposite. I've always thought hard cases look cheap. I've always gotten a quality custom made leather case for every one of my last 5 or 6 devices. Either Vaja, Noreve, or Piel Frama.... so I get to pick my colors and types of leather. They have always protected my devices perfectly, and look better and fit better with age as they get worn in. Usually use a belt-clip with them, too. Right now I have the Noreve case for my HD2, but I'm hoping Vaja makes a case for the USA HD2, because those cases look beautiful... actually have to say it's one of the best looking cases I've ever seen. Would go with Black and red or black and green for the colors.... and get a chain attachment instead of a beltclip. Leathers cases are expensive for quality, but for the price of my devices, I'd say they are well worth it. Plus it's kinda a fashion accessory. It's one thing I have on me at all times, so I want it to look good.
[HD2 Accessories] LatinSilEighty:
BEST CASE EVAAAAAARRRR!!!!!! lol

easy to take of and put on feels great in the hand and has raised enough edges to where it protects both buttons and screen (not from sharp ass corners) I accidentally dropped mine from about 3 or 4 feet up directly onto the top right corner (not on purpose) and it just bounced and landed on its face and nothing happened, phone was perfect,

BTW after having a million phones and a million different cases, hard cases are the worst to have especially if your planning on pocketing them, , Ive noticed(not from just my experience but also from family members) that when you have a hard case and you rarely take it off,

when ridding in your pocket it tends to pick up lint and dirt in between the phone and case (there for the cause of scratches behind the protective case) and not just that but when you handle your phone the hard case tends to flex un-noticeably and that puts wear on the phones finish.

the only way i would ever rock a hard case is if i had a leather pouch to put it in (with the hard case installed) which is a huge pouch that i have yet to find

or if it was an easily removable case that you could take off once a week or so to clean the dust out

I love the chrome case (looks SEXAY) but after a while of setting it down on tables its gonna look like $#1T because all the scratches are gonna be super noticeable, and out of the three it will most likely scratch your phone the most when removing it

the clear "T-mobile" brand case probably will probably not scratch your phone upon removal but clear cases really look like ass after a while after a few scratches, because it starts getting this foggy look to it, and one of my friends bought the same kind of case for his G1 (long time ago) and after a while of pulling the kick stand out the stand broke

so the clear winner IMO for durability, ease of removal, and protection is the hard, bulky, and ugly aluminum case lol

just remember you have to take the cases off once in a while if you have the phone in your pocket because the lint(even though it sounds funny) will scratch your phone when making friction with the inside of the case

but these are all things I dont have to deal with because i have my sexay sexay Gel case that is easy to remove and i barely ever have to clean ;)

Oh and just in case you don't know what a GEL/TPU case is here is a video of one (for the Euro HD2) if you decide to get one make sure its for the TmoUS version because that 1.5mm makes a difference when it comes to these cases

Case Mate

The Casemate Barely There case

does not

fit the US TMO HTC HD2; someone posted a review on the Casemate website that it fit and on the strength of that and comments on this site, I bought a case. Got it today and I can confirm that it DOES NOT fit the US version, which is a real pity because it is a beautiful case.

JIT on a 1.6 Rom like Amon_Ra's would be nice!

[Nexus One General] mwdiers:
Initially Hulu was using the User Agent to detect a mobile browser.

I am guessing that they are now checking the Flash version and platform, using the System.capabilities.version method.

If that is the case, there will not be a workaround unless someone hacks the version info of Flash itself - possible I suppose, but not very likely.

obviously, you missed the workaround thread, lol

flash was hacked

I couldnt find where anyone mentioned this method of watching hulu...i have the phonemypc application so i can just use it to remotely go to my laptop or desktop and it doesnt have sound yet but the devs say it will soon but its otherwise easy to watch hulu.

Before froyo when id be interacting with my pc remotely if there was video it was like 1 frame per minute but now flash is utilized and it looks pretty damn good, and im guessing other remote desktop apps may have sound so thats at least a step in the right direction if you dont want to have to keep implementing "workarounds"... just FYI...
