Obvious troll if obvious?

Obvious troll if obvious?

The iPhone has some great apps. It would be nice if they worked on the HD2. But they don't. But when people ask if there's a comparable app, I don't see a problem with it. I myself am one of your "Serious Users," and I wish there were more of the little fun apps for the HD2.

Serious users does not equal users who don't like fun little toy apps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hebbe:
the funny thing is, i guess that no one would have been upset about this request/thread if there wasn't such an app for the iphone :rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dragonglance:
Ok so here is the curveball i am not being obnoxious and i am sorry if i came across as such, i guess i just am a little sore as i guess many other people are that the windows market place is no where and probably never will be close to the App store, so it is just something i have come to accept. I may have bitten yesterday but it just seems to be so frequesnt people wanting the HD2 like the iphone which it will never be. I am always the first to jump at a new app and still am.

Hey guys, Just curious whether the HTC desire still provides a good experience even without 3g. I live in a Los Angeles surburban area, and T-mobile still does not provide me 3g, so I was wondering if this mobile will still be great even with EDGE services.
[Desire General] mesaka:
I'm currently restricted to using Edge in Cyprus (I will return to 3G in a few weeks time when I move back to western europe) Overall for e-mail and other updates (weather, etc.) edge is fine. If you are going to be a heavy user of web and / or streaming it is not good enough (I switch to wifi for thoise things wherever possible).
[Desire General] rs0cal:
alright thanks for the heads up, much appreciative!
[Desire General] Cpt.Curry:
Just wanted to start this thread, for users to share there overall experiences of the desire. The good the bad and the ugly etc...

Enjoy :D
[Desire General] LBTaylor1984:
Well so far so good.

I've had it since Friday (Tuesday now) and tbh it makes the HD2 looks pathetic. Don't get me wrong the HD2 is agood phone, but compared to the competition its looking long in the tooth.

Battery lie seems poor but i can't put it down lol, so probably fine.

My only gripe is the lack of SD support (I know 2.2)

I hope Froyo arrives on the 23rd, if not i'll be kicking myself not getting a Nexus One.

I feel the touchpad could be used to great effect, but not utilised. Mouse cursor in browser?

More access to the internal memory would be good too.
[Desire General] tommo123:
agreed about apps2sd, it's the only niggle i have with the phone. there's more apps that i want and can use than the phone can handle.

here's hoping 2.2 is sooner rather than later
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Why would you need an actual mouse cursor? You can already use the trackpad to select links.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] LBTaylor1984:
saves you scrolling through hundreds in a page. you could just move the cursor over the link and click in.

sometimes i can read a page, but my finger is too thick to select the link, however if i had a cursor i could.

Also would mean strategy games like starcraft could be played with ease. :P
[Desire General] abc27:
Just buy a capacitive stylus.
[Desire General] remmyhi:
For me the main disadvantage of the Phone (and actually Android in general) in comparison with Winmo is that it does not want to sync with the corporate callendar and contacts via bluetooth natively.

I know I can install htc sync and sync via usb, but it requires me to carry on the usb cable everywhere I go...

I know I can install "Missing Sync" for windows but it cost ~40$ and it's a bit too expensive for an application.

Second - APP2SD of course

Third - battery life (I know - screen)

best regards

[Desire General] Aenaon:
My initial impressions were positive, to the point of canceling my Iphone purchase and going for the Desire instead.

However, that swiflty changed. After much time spend arguing with my network provider, the independent seller and finally HTC support I am left dumbfounded by their logic and inane software restrictions.

To explain, all the phones in the UK, or at least the majority of them are region locked for some reason. The phones provided by the networks themselves are region-locked to the UK only, meaning not being able to type in any other language and if one goes abroad runs the risk of not having correct time, date, weather, radio and so on as the phone's 'locale' settings do not adjust. What is more frustrating, the demo phones available in the same networks' stores or independent dealers work normaly (having locale and languages for all european languages and some asian) but even when buying an unbranded one it is still region locked (although with a couple more choices...).

To promote such a phone as a flagship product and not being able to type in another language, a function my 6-year old backup phone handles with ease, is beyond words.
[Desire General] waynefield:
Generally speaking, a great phone, however, having said that let me say this: I find that I lose coverage very easily whereas I didn't with other phones I have had e.g. Blackberry Bold. I can find that if I leave my phone on the bedside table overnight, it loses coverage for some unknown reason. This is a real downer for me as I rely on having coverage very much.
[Desire General] Necroman_AI:
Hi! I really think thats odd! I've bought mine unlocked in Portugal and it didn't have the Portuguese language but had English and French. When i first put my Portuguese sim card, i didn't select any of the languages (there wasn't Portuguese) but the phone is on Portuguese since i'm using a Portuguese sim card.

Nevertheless, in such powerfull phone and OS, there is (almost) a way to bend such limitations.

For instance, using morelocale app (on market) and i just love the HTC_IME_MOD (you can find it here).

Try these and then post your review ;)
[Desire General] Necroman_AI:
I don't have such problem. Maybe it means a faulty device?
[Desire General] Aenaon:
Thank you Necroman_AI for your tips. The morelocale application I hope that it will make the phone at least work fully when I am in a country outside the 3 it seems to natively recognise.

I am a new user of android devices so I am not yet familiar with the mods but I will try them. However, this is stlll very unprofessional from a company that aspires to compete in the high-end area of smartphones.
[Desire General] Necroman_AI:
Hi again! I don't really know is this is HTC fault, you haven't said if you bought it unlocked or in a network. Networks sometimes limits certain abilities of the phones. But morelocale will solve your problem and search for HTC_ime_mod here on xda and you will get what is the best Android keyboard for me! It's just an app and you can install it like any other app. It's really good and so much better than the regular HTC_ime that canes with the phone...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] undefined:
does anyone know the registry key for the vibration pattern, ive been looking and looking, but i just cant seen to find it, or does anyone know of an application that will do the same thing, thanks :) btw, this post is from my tilt 2, via opera 9.7 :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] doublen1:
I would be curious to know this as well, the standard length for the ring vibration is much too long in my opinion.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] undefined:
I agree, and the zzz zzz zzz that the phone does when its on vibrate and you get an SMS is annoying and it lags sometimes too
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] waffles510:
i want to know how to change the amount of times my phone vibrates because whenever i get a text message my phone vibrates 3-4 times i want it to vibrate once or twice! :(

Okay Well this is what my question/Help is about

Well I like The Look Of htc sense Ui But I Hate There launcher.... I like THe Stock Nexus one Froyo launcher And i was Wondering is there any way to Get sense Ui With OUt The launcher

P.S

Thanks Guys For All the help i have Gotten In The Past Few Day Im Getting The Hang Of It But Still Kinda of a Noob To all this stuff =)
[Android Software Development] mrchu001:
unfortunately you wont be able to use the HTC Sense widgets if you decide to go with a home replacement. of course you can still use the apps, but not the widgets.

if you are looking for nexus replacement. search the market for ADW launcher, launcherpro, or helix launcher. all of them have their own little tweaks and pros/cons. go check them out :]

note: the home replacements wont change anything but the launcher.
[EVO 4G General] seok7280:
I'm at&t user right now and considering to buy htc evo 4g with sprint.

All of my friends are using either at&t or verizon so I don't have any idea about sprint.

Is sprint 3g coverage in columbus ohio good enough to use?

Thanks for any advice.
[EVO 4G General] MindWr4ith:
on the sprint official website they have a coverage map.
[EVO 4G General] jkinnison90:
When I went to Easton, the 3G works just fine. It works well in the Lancaster area also.

I seen somewhere that Columbus / Cincinnati are suppose to get 4G this year..

[EVO 4G General] imex99:
I live in Licking County and for the most part coverage is very good. I get a couple bad spots when driving across the county...

I work in Columbus and get very good service but it can get spotty when inside buildings when in downtown Columbus. The weird thing is I'll be standing next to someone with at&t or verizon and their service is good.... I'm starting to think sprints signal is weaker and has trouble penetrating buildings bc of this! It happens to me all the time bc I'm downtown ALOT. Once outside of the buildings, my Sprint service is great and pretty decent 3G speeds.
[EVO 4G General] finsmaniac02:
I live in Columbus (westerville) and got an HTC HERO for my wife and used it for a few days, no coverage problems thoughout the easton(ish) area and also drive up past marysville on 33 and no problems on the drive.

I have since given her HERO up and am awaiting the EVO :-)

To the poster above me: what sprint phone are you currently on and what phones were the other people using? You would be surprised on how much difference a phone can make in reception, not just the network
[EVO 4G General] T Mac:
Im also near the cincinnati area in butler county ohio. Ive been wondering how far the 4g coverage would extend. In between cincinnati and dayton. ?? Any ideas?
[EVO 4G General] imex99:
I have seen near the same results from the samsung instinct to my current Palm Pre. With me Pre getting a little better signal than the instinct.

When noticing the differences with Sprint coverage versus at&t & the iphone 3G and the Droid on Verizon. I have noticed them getting much stronger signals indoors downtown columbus in a few different locations.

It kinda rubs me the wrong way but with the difference in $$$, I get over it b/c indoors in downtown columbus is my worst spot....I've already contacted Sprint about each location and they've marked it for a ticket and will research it.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] undefined:
hey all, ive known how to do this for a while and just thought id post it, but i know how to change the stiling of the SMS window

1. go to a registry editor and search "iframe_style.css"

2. the value should be /windows/iframe_style.css

3. change it to /iframe_style.css

4. to go total commander or file explorer and go to the windows directory (enable hidden files in file explore, and its gonna take a while to loadr) and look for iframe_style.css

5. copy it to the main directory /

6. now navigate to the iframe_style.css in / and change it to iframe_style.txt and it should open in word

7. you have to have knowlege in css and html to be able to read the file, but its fun, you can change fonts and colors and etc.

8. save the file, but press no so it saves in .txt again.

9. now change the iframe_style.txt to iframe_style.css and restart the device

post any questions or discoveries below. ill upload some of the files ive made so you guys can try em out

Here: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=172093 and here: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=169480 I've posted my own ports of QEMU and BOCHS emulators for android. Pages are in russian.

Both builds are tested on HTC Desire. May run on android 1.6+, but lots of RAM is a requirement. Need VGA+ screens, otherwise text would be unreadable.

Direct links:

http://rapidshare.com/files/393889645/BOCHS_arm_android.rar

Mod Edit: No Windows images allowed

Installation:

1. install APK from archive

2. copy SDL directory from archive to the root of storage card

3. run. If it don't run - look into ADB log. And don't ask me for help.

BOCHS is too slow to be useable, but very stable.

QEMU is really fast - but buggy. SB16 emulation is working, but no MIDI music. FPU emulation is incorrect/incomplete, so it may cause some programs not to run or behave strangely. Network is not working. Keyboard/mouse emulation is far from perfect.

Windows 9x would work in QEMU if you'll disable 32-bit disk drivers in it. This is a bug in Android (pread/pwrite functions are not working). Windows 9x speed is really fast.

This QEMU build is based on 0.9.1, newer versions have bugs in ARM TCG and can't boot Windows or similar OS.

I would not continue working on these 2 projects. If anyone is interested - I'll provide all sources and some information on building. Knowledge of C++, ARM and x86 asm is required.

Added:

Here: http://rapidshare.com/files/394622580/qemu-0.9.1-28may.rar are QEMU sources. To build them you'll need SDL (http://rapidshare.com/files/392358441/SDL-1.2.14-28may.rar and http://rapidshare.com/files/392358604/SDL-java_part-28may.rar - native and java parts) and GCC 3.4.6 (http://rapidshare.com/files/392357170/android-gcc-346.rar). Newer GCC nor NDK cannot be used to build QEMU 0.9.1. This GCC archive already contains a prebuilt SDL library.

Compiler and my SDL port are discussed here: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=172092

After compiling QEMU you'll need to copy i386-softmmu\qemu as SDLapp\libs\armeabi\libnativeapp.so in the java part of SDL project, then recompile java part.

GCC installation: first install CygWin, then extract archive to /android directory in CygWin, then add its 'bin' directory to CygWin path like this: export PATH=/android/bin:$PATH

To build projects just cd to directory with sources and "make". Java part of SDL is a normal Eclipse project.

Nice work and thanks... but why won't you continue with this project?
[Android Apps and Games] d3sm0nd:

How to boot Windows 98 and Windows ME

:)

1. Download the tool Winimage

2. Download VMWare and create a clean Windows 98 or Me on a partition like 600MB

3. Open the file c.img from mamaich's folder in Winimage. Extract the whole image to a new folder and skip the files with error messages.

4. In Winimage click on Disk => Convert Hirtual Hard Disk image. Select the vhd from VMWare you created. Select: Convert to ima.

5. Rename the new image from .ima to .img.

6. Open the .img in Winimage. Drag and drop the folder "3" and all the files from the root folder from the extracted c.img to your image. don't overwrite files when he asks you, because i didn't try to find out which of the original files from mamaich are really needed.

7. Save the image, copy and overwrite the original c.img from mamaich.

8. Start libSDL and have fun with Win98 or ME. But you should know: Compared to Win95, it's really slow.

You can use other languages from Windows too now!

Chears!

How I got stuff to work

I'm just trying to be helpful, I had a bit of a time to get this working, as I'm not the brightest crayon in the box.

Some simple hints just to see if it works? What I did as per the instructions:

1. installed the SDLapp.apk

1. unzipped SDL to directory /sdcard/SDL

2. created a file sdl.conf with this line:

<code>

/SDL -L . -m 16 -fda 98.img -boot a

</code>

3. extracted and renamed a boot image from here:

s93616405 dot onlinehome dot us/bootdisk/win98sc.zip

renamed the img file to 98.img

4. run libsdk which booted a dos floppy image.

a long press on the menu gives a soft keyboard. no key seems to let me exit.

there are many tutorials on the web for qemu.

I did this on a Archos 32 tablet. Win 3.11 worked (barely). I also tried damn small linux, didn't boot all the way. dos worked as a proof of concept. Not a practical thing, I wouldn't get my hopes up to high.

It would be fun to try to the emulated network card.
