get the ultimate ears pair. skull candy is overpriced like crazy. head over to head-fi.org and read some reviews. the HD2 in cable music control is the same as the iphone, so its nothing new. plenty of headphones out there from the cheap $5 stuff on handhelditems.com to the $350 ultimate ear triplefi 10vi support it.

What will you be doing with these headphones? I know I had some motorola ROKR BT Headphones and when I went running they would cut out. So just a thing to be careful about if you decide to get those BT Headphones.
[HD2 Accessories] mike00554:
I've also been looking for a good headset for this phone. The wired headset I got with the phone hurts horribly when used for more than a few seconds. I'm hoping I can find something either wired or bluetooth that will have the play/pause, next track and previous track capabilities with this phone.

I'm not willing to just make my own headset simply because I have a terrible tendency to burn myself constantly each and every time I solder something.

Simply put, is there a commercially available headset (wired or bluetooth) that is able to supply similar functionality (that people can confirm) to the one included with the phone?
[HD2 Accessories] crisisinthecity:
Pretty sure that anything for an iphone will have the play/pause, next and previous track on them... I bought a set made for an iphone and works perfect at tj maxx a few days ago that work perfect. 14.99. :)

Just received my iharmonix IHX-PLAT-I Platinum i-Series earphones. Gotta say these are the best sound quality earbuds I have ever heard. Fitment is great. I use these while I'm om my chopper and they will stay in place up to 80mph easy. However... No volume, No song skip, It does have song pause, phone answer, phone dial last number called, and phone hang-up. Microphone sound quality is very good as well. Highly recommend at $39.99 and free shipping.
[Hero CDMA General] duffkitty:
I'm wondering if someone can point me in the direction of some resource or brief explanation on Rom cooking. I'm looking at trying my hand at it and don't know where to start. I have a general idea that its simply an archive with installation instructions but don't know how to theme it, change icons, do optimization or sign it.

Really anywhere you can point me to would be much appreciated.

[Hero CDMA General] thematrixkid17:
ROMs basically consist of archives inside of archives. APKs are just archives and can be opened really nicely with 7zip. The best way to get started theming things is just to open up some apks, and find some stuff that looks familiar that you can change.

Tip: if you first unzip an apk, then pick through that folder to see what you want to change, then make your changes there. then when you're all done, take your modified files and drag them back into a 7zip window of that same archived 'opened' instead of unzipped. then they don't need resigned, (since you just modified files inside of the archive without unzipping it) and it makes changing things a lot quicker.

stray away from '.9.pngs' at first until you get the hang of the basics, then search for the guide on here for how to modify images ending in '.9.png'

then there are xml edits that i'm not too good at unless they're in plaintext. (and those inside of apks are not plaintext)

but you can really do a lot of very cool stuff while doing nothing other than editing images.
[Hero CDMA General] duffkitty:
This is wonderful, thanks for some quick replies! I'm a pretty advanced computer user and avid Linux fan (run archlinux) so I think I can get this :-)

[General Questions and Answers] munkymack:
I'm going to be spending a year or so traveling, and I need a new phone before I go. I'd like an Android-running smartphone. Right now I'm leaning towards a MyTouch 3G because I can get a used one relatively cheaply. However, I'd definitely appreciate any suggestions. I plan to use skype and prepaid sim cards while I am over there. My criteria:

Less than $300 used

Quad Band GSM

WiFi capable

There may be other criteria that I should have but don't, because this will be my first experience with Android apart from playing with it on friend's phones.

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] ddotpatel:
Easy. Thats about £200? You can pick up a mint/as new condition hero for that much here in the UK. Probably pick up a slightly scuffed up one for 170-180.
[General Questions and Answers] munkymack:
ddotpatel, that's as brilliant of an answer as I ever could have gotten, thank you.

Quick dumb question: If I buy that phone, when I return to the states, will I be able to charge it directly, or will I have to use a voltage converter? I'm not really sure how that works coming from the UK to here.
[General Questions and Answers] ddotpatel:
As far as I know you just need a charger that plugs in in the US. I could be wrong though.
[General Questions and Answers] Fallen Spartan:
The UK, europe and US all use different types of sockets, i.e. 3 pin, 2 pin etc etc, so you'll need an adaptor to convert the charger. You can pick up one in most electronic stores....even Tesco's or at the airport ;)
[General Questions and Answers] denco7:
Or just buy a new charger ,which you can probably get for the same cost.

Just remember that European 3G bands are different than US bands and any phone you purchase there will not work on US 3G unless it is a " world phone " which I don't think the Hero is.
[General Questions and Answers] Fallen Spartan:
True, but a universal adaptor will always come in handy when on holiday ;)
[General Questions and Answers] munkymack:
Would I be correct in assuming that an American phone with 3G would not work on the European 3G bands? If that is the case, I'll probably want to buy a phone over there...assuming that whatever prepaid sim I buy is 3G capable/affordable.

Does anyone mind pointing me in the right direction as far as PayGo/Prepaid Sim providers over there? I'll be in France for about two months, followed by a bunch of travel in Eastern and Western Europe.
[General Questions and Answers] munkymack:
Also, would it be possible to swap out the radio firmware in a US phone so that it picks up 3g in europe and vice-versa (I'm guessing no, otherwise someone would have suggested it already, but it doesn't hurt to ask)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockypr:

No. flash it and you will end up with a paper weight. Totally different radio, camera and other insides.
[EVO 4G General] apristel:
No.

Different hardware. GSM vs CDMA.

Maybe there will eventually be an Android rom for the HD2...but not going to be the EVO's direct rom, somethings may get ported. We'll see.

Hi All,

I dunno know if it is possible or not.

Last night I tried to make XT9 dumped from X2, as default SIP by changing the registry (the registry editing worked fine before when I change my default SIP to 'text recognizer') But after I restart, the windows unable to boot (After Xperia and Sony Ericsson screen, it only get full blank screen). I did a warm boot also not working... So cut the battery off.

So is there any application that allow me to edit the registry (maybe through computer since I can't get into my X1)???

(Like in PC, we're using WindowsBoot CD or Safe mode or anything)

I don't like to perform hard reset coz' I want to safe my data inside, especially my SMS and PIM... coz' It is worthful for me.

But if HardReset is the only one way, please let me know how to do it...

So I have been trying to skin this application dock:

http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris/68853-application-dock-sense-i-found.html

I liked it except it was ugly with the page over buttons, and the wasted space on the top. So I edited the .png files for those to be empty/clear/whatever you want to call it. I remember where the buttons are, I can deal with it if it looks better.

Anyway, when I go to install, I still see the same icon and everything, but it is saying installation failed.

I know this is most likely because it needs to be re-signed...I have been reading for a while now how to do this and I can't figure it out. If someone could give me a hand that would be great! Or if someone could sign it for me that would be even better. Anyway :confused: help?

Here is the finished .apk with all the edited .png files:

UPDATE

I just had a word with one of their customer respresenative named Mandy, she sounded very pleasant and nice. After going through the whole dealing process she insisted that the minimum order to modify an item is 500 units. So if any of the manufacturers or businessman can order 500 HD2 then it might be possible that we can have a custom built Qwerty Keypads for our HD2.

By the way she also assured that the item is bieng checked by one of the quality checking teams and it will be available on the website pretty soon. So enjoy the beautiful keyboard since then.

Just found another website which is selling the same product. Have a look here : http://www.chinajiaho.com/mini-bluetooth-keyboard-for-ipad-and-smartphones_p1361.html

The Big Deal

Now while going through the product description i noticed quite interesting details:

It is almost simlar to the length / breadth height with our hd2.

HTC HD2 :120.5mm x 67mm x 11mm KEYBOARD:115mm x 60mm x 6 mm

What More !!

As specified on the website, they also have custom made keypads available if the product is bought on lots or wholesale of 500 and above number.

Now this is interesting as i am going to contact them and ask them strictly to this option whether they can make custom keypads with a hinge or a hook for an hd2, i would happily place an order of 500+ keyboards.

Dont you all think this would be a great addon for our HD2. If anyone interested please add your comments here, and lets make this idea into reality.

Imagine HD2 with a Qwerty Keypad .. This sounds to good to be true.

Price/Cost

And my last surprise to you, this is worth only only only USD 20 :eek::eek::eek:

For more details you can go directly to the production description website : THE CHINAVASION WEBSITE HAS BEEN DELETED FOR NOT MEETING CUSTOMER NEEDS.

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM CHINAVASION. BAD REP, BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE.

[HD2 Accessories] Archer:
I don't get why the OP is going on about bulk orders for modifying them. First of all we need to order 500+ to get them modified, then we only need 25+ to get them modified.

Why on earth do they need modifying in the first place? I'm lost.
[HD2 Accessories] stevemilw:
i think he means 500+ to get them modified to an easier design to use with the hd2, and 25+ to buy now as they are.

How would it fit onto the hd2? or wont it at all. If it cant clip on, or you just hold it, what the point? lol you might as well have just got a phone with a keyboard...

otherwise ur gonna have to carrry around a huge keyboard with you everywhere.

silly idea im afraid, you wont get 500 people to buy them i can tell you that now..
[HD2 Accessories] tids2k:
hey mate thanks for correcting here, i actually didnt remove the other comments after updating, doing it now. thanks. the keypad can be modified only if we order above 500+ units. i am not a businessman so cannot ask them for such order. anyways when it will be available i will update my post. thanks though bringing it to my attention.

visually it reminds me of the rhodium keyboard.

I have to admit for occassional use it would be great, I don't tend to write articles and stuff on my pda any more, whereas I used to on my advantage all the time. I may be tempted if it felt good to use, which is the risk with some of these, they feel awful to actually type with

looks a very cheap price, most other sellers are charging twice that price.
