My bad. You guys are right. I saw the news for the port but didn't follow up about it being fake.

I still think WP7 will be ported first.

With all the Android Superphones coming out (EVO [sprint], Droid X, Incredible [verizon], Galaxy S [t-mobile], Captivate [ATT]), its easier to buy a new device than use a ported ROM on the HD2.
[HD2 General] corollatercel:
I think we're more likely to see a windows 7 Shell similiar to how HTC Sense is on the HD2 before any fully working windows phone 7 ports are done. Although the hardware on the HD2 is pretty much as impressive as anything available now the fact is that, just as with computer parts it will be considered "not fast enough" when windows 7 phones are actually released.

I'm 26 years old and had my first pc in 1994. it was a packard bell and ran at 600 Mhz with 128MB or ram and a 40 GB HD. My HD2 is faster than my first pc ever was and it is about 20x smaller. Anyone else think about these sort of things and really marvel at the pace technology is moving?

The wife and I were in the food store the other day waiting in line behind some lady paying for groceries with a check. My wife was *****ing to me that people are crazy that still carry around paper checkbooks. I told her that when we're older and probably holding up a line with our surgically implanted RFID chips to pay for groceries, some youngsters will be complaining about us not using retinal scans so we can be done quicker..LOL.

Hi chaps,

I am looking for some guidance on ROM cooking. I am wanting to have my own application to start up first on my handset (HTC Touch2). I currently have this set up via the HKLM/ini lauch in the registry. However I want to avoid the windows splash screen and seeing the windows interface prior to my application launching.

It seems the way to do this is via ROM cooking which I am going to start trying now but any guidance would be very muc appreciated.

I am looking at using os kitchen for this.

Many Thanks in advance,

Zac

[Desire General] JayceAndTheNews:
Hi all,

I think this came up briefly in the “Flaws and annoyances thread” and I believe someone has started a post in the evo forum, but I thought it would be worth just mentioning it to notify the odd few in here.

There’s been a bit of news flying around about the Sense bookmarking widget creating little JPEG files and saving them to .bookmark_thumb1 on your SD card. The issue seemingly being that it doesn’t only take screenshots of your bookmarks; from time to time it records images of general sites you’ve visited. Since they aren’t stored on the phone memory, they won’t be removed by a factory reset – they also aren’t removed by clearing the all your internet history.

I’ve just had a look on my own desire and, sure enough, it’s got odd little snapshots of lots of webpages I’ve visited since I’ve had the phone (I didn’t count before I deleted them but it was about 2MB worth of tiny JPEG images). Any password entry pages it captured did not have any input in any of the fields (the password info would not have been displayed for me anyway).

I’m not particularly worried because I don’t really do anything super-secret with my phone browser, but it may be somewhat alarming for many people.

Does make it awfully tempting to explore other phones though =D

Apologies if this is a duplicate post / would be better placed somewhere else; please point out any daft mistakes I’ve made in describing the behaviour.

Cheers all.

Original article at boygeniusreport.com/2010/06/16/browser-privacy-htc-senseui/

EDIT: The consensus seems to be that this should only be happening for bookmarked and most visited sites. After clearing that directory and starting from scratch, that seems to be the most likely explanation.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
I think this has been blown all out of proportion.

BGR is saying it is privacy issue, but since these screenshots are not being broadcast all over the internet, I don't see it that way.

Yes, I agree that if you clear your browser history it should clear down all those thumbnails, but since I generally keep my phone on me at all times, my privacy is not affected.

If I was selling my phone, I'd be factory resetting the device and clearing down any SD card that I'm selling with the phone anyway.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] th3:
It's a flaw. I get it since purchasing too and have to keep deleting all the images. Not just bookmarks, every other webpage I've visited is pictured there at least 2-3 times.

-------------------------------------

- Sent via my HTC Desire -
[Desire General] ferus:
I used the HTC browser only for a short time (switched to Dolphin HD).

I checked my SD card today and the thumbs were still saved there so I deleted them. No big deal (as foxmeister already said).

The only thing I don't understand why does the browser take these screenshots in the firs place?
[Desire General] JayceAndTheNews:
I agree completely with you on the size of the issue. I scrub all my stuff before it leaves my possession; I also never leave my phone alone and don't really keep any sensitive data on the SD card.

Thought it might be worth mentioning for the odd few that would benefit.

I'm still unclear on what it decides to store and when (I understand updating the bookmarks, but the seemingly random ones are puzzling, maybe multiple windows?).
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Presumably for the bookmarks widget, and the previews you get when you switch browser windows.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] Aitese:
This isn't random pictures. Obviously the ones you bookmark...that's a given. The others are times you have multiple windows open. If open a new window/tab, a picture is taken of the previous page you were on so that a preview will be shown when you want to switch between windows.

BGR and Engadget have blown it all out of proportion by suggesting it's not deletable data. Why on earth would my bookmarks be cleared with my history? Bad journalism.
[Desire General] th3:
Is that officially stated as the working anywhere, or your personal estimate?

This isn't how it is working on mine at all. I've just opened/closed 4 windows of sites, switched through them a few times, then loaded another two pair of 4 on them in the past 3 mins. Not a single screenshot was added except for three of the homepage each window opened with at the beginning (Google).

-------------------------------------

- Sent via my HTC Desire -
[Desire General] foxmeister:
I wonder if it is something to do with the browser being killed. Perhaps if you open/close windows in a browser session, it does delete the screenshots. However, if you open a few windows and then go back to the home page, Android may at some point kill the browser leaving the screenshots behind.

I'd imagine that something similar might happen if you mounted the SD card whilst in a browser session.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] Aitese:
It seems you may be right...I'm finding it's the "Most Visited" sites that it's saving the thumbnails for. It keeps two versions of each pick, which coincide with the two different views in the most visited tab.
[Desire General] ratchetnclank:
It's multi tab and bookmarks for me. Engadget won't admit they're wrong either lol.

-------------------------------------

Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
[Desire General] th3:
All very good points.

You know, after nearly a day testing/observing, that is also what I've understood. Two thumbnail views for the most visited sites are saved. Only for these sites. One is for the "Most Visited" section previews and one the preview of that window when switching between windows.

The only flaw I deem in it is the endless saving without delete. I've had the browser open in the background days on end many times, and always quit through the back button after clearing history/cache. Such images remain undeleted. I don't have any security/privacy concerns with it. Both me and my better half use the phone, just as I might use hers at times (she watches vids and takes pics on mine, not her iPhone :p).

BTW, anyone noticed that after clearing history/cache you can still go through all the pages you've visited through the Back button?

-------------------------------------

- Sent via my HTC Desire -
[Desire General] JayceAndTheNews:
Ah, I hadn't considered the most visited sites; that most likely explains the large number of pictures I had (I rarely multi-tab or bookmark).

Certainly seems to be the case now I've started from scratch and have been watching closely.
[Desire General] jmpmjmpm:

I am pretty picky when it comes to car mounts. I typically hate universal mounts because they are so bulky. So as i wait for for a sweet made-for-evo sexy solution, this is the next best thing that i have found. This thing folds up on itself when not in use. This video describes it way better than i can.

thanks to a nice member of the slickdeals forum, the coupon code WOOT brings the total to $5 per set (up to 3) plus $5 flat rate for shipping. Each set comes with one mounting arm and 2 buttons (for 2 devices i guess)

I have no clue how long the coupon lasts for but i snagged two, one for me and one for the wifes car so we can swap back and forth. The few reviews seem good and i figure its not that great of a risk for 15 bucks. I am going to stick on the little buttons to a case, not directly to the evo. If anyone is interested, i can post pics and stuff when it comes in.

Edit: I don't have enough posts to post links...
[EVO 4G Accessories] drumstyk1:
hmm, now i cant edit either. i am not trying to spam, just trying to share.

if you go to google and search "soundgate m2 wired for less" you will find the links to discussions of the deal on multiple sites. maybe a kind soul could post a link here too?
[EVO 4G Accessories] zikronix:
pretty slick...I do not like how ever that a "disc" is required that attaches it to the actual device. I wouldnt be putting it on my phone. So I would have to pick up another snap case and mod it...

[EVO 4G Accessories] ken987:
I have these...and I use them for my iPad...yep! It works with the iPad. I am VERY happy with these. They came pretty fast too across the country. I recommend these very much. To be honest, I am NOT a fan of putting a disc on the back...but I have a skin on my iPad so if the skin comes off so does the disc so that made me feel better about it leaving marks...weird..I know...and it comes with extra discs.... the owner is a nice guy too. Very helpful.

Just my opinion...
[EVO 4G Accessories] Freelancerx:
pretty cool you can just put that disk on another case and slip your phone into that one when your in the car if you dont want to put it on the actual phone...
[EVO 4G Accessories] drumstyk1:
hey ken987,

How thick would you say those little disk thingies are? I already ordered it but i am a little curious if these things will be low profile enough to still slide in my pocket. I am planning on sticking it to the back of an innocase ii
[EVO 4G Accessories] clayginn:
Wow for 10 bucks this is a great find. Thanks
[EVO 4G Accessories] danknee:
Cool find and great coupon code, thank you! I already have a mount for my phone, but I will use this for my girlfriend's car. I went ahead and ordered three.... just need to figure out what to do with the other two, maybe buy a tablet?
[EVO 4G Accessories] ken987:
I would say as thick as a quarter......I don't think it would be a bother. I have 2 on the back of my ipad so I can do landscape or portrait and I barely notice them when I hold the iPad in the house.
[EVO 4G Accessories] danknee:
Still works, I just tested it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] drumstyk1:
also if you put 1 button on the back of a phone case, can you choose if you want it in portrait or landscape after the install? In other words i am wondering if it only seats properly 1 way and you have to stick it on right or if you can swivel your phone back and forth. perhaps portrait for music time and landscape for gps?
[EVO 4G Accessories] r3daction:
I bought one and the spare disk kit. I was looking for a kit and this is not bulky will be out of the way but accessible. I thought about the extra re-installation kit. I will go to home depot for that if I ever need it but that disc for the device...you never know.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jmglidden:
The video shows that you can rotate the base 90 degrees to put your device in landscape / portrait w/o having to use a different disc.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jmxp69:
This is a great find. $40 off with the coupon code??? I ordered two as well. Thanks for sharing OP. I'll share my experiences with it when it comes in.
[EVO 4G Accessories] johnnychimpo:
Thanks just ordered one too... Great!
[EVO 4G Accessories] galt:
Got this installed last night, works quite well. For those planning on using it mostly in landscape orientation I recommend putting the disc in the middle of the EVO, not higher up as they recommend. I put the disc right over the HTC logo and it tends to hang a bit crooked in landscape because it is out of balance.

This is a pretty decent car mount option though, the disc on the back is only mildly annoying. It's pretty easy to mount and unmount, although I still wish there was a custom mount option.

Thanks to the OP for the post and the coupon!
[EVO 4G Accessories] Bielinsk:
There is an issue with the Evo as it has a textured finish to the case. The disc has a tendency to fall off when turning to lock it.

Love the mount, this is top quality stuff and very small form factor. The disk is not noticeable on the phone (yet protects the camera)
[EVO 4G Accessories] Sirchuk:
Thanks for sharing it with us, for only $5 I figured I would get two and check 'em out. I don't want to put anything on my phone though, so I think I'll find a cheap case and use it that way. You really can't beat the price though!
[EVO 4G Accessories] oopl:
This fits the bill nicely.

Look forward to getting it installed.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Saturn2K:
Actually, it looks like that's what you have to do to lock it into place. It seems that turning it 90 degrees for landscape mode would simply unlock your phone. Can anyone with this mount clear this up? The iPad with two discs on it makes me think turning is a no-go.
[EVO 4G Accessories] galt:
Yes, works in landscape as well as portrait with the disc applied for standard (portrait) orientation, just isn't quite as locked in as it is if you rotate it into portrait mode. Still, it seems sturdy and should be fine as long as you aren't off-roading or something.
