I agree with LegionTHEFecalExcretion....

Sounds like you want us to convince you that you made the right decision. I too came from WM and after a couple days of searching around I found all the apps I needed. To say that the software selection needs work is a little crazy if you ask me.
[Droid Incredible General] mjg7876:
I too just made the jump to Android, but really like it so far. I am also working on a port of my RadarLove for WM, you can see where I am at with it at http://www.gudensoft.com.

Off topic, but can you link to things using the xda app?

I'm looking for a lockscreen slide system like the Xperia X10, is this possible for the htc HD2? Can I make sliders myself? Greetz
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] HectiQ:
anyone can help? :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] HectiQ:
Bump bump bump
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] HectiQ:
hmm all those views, nobody knows how to do this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kaplatz:
don't know anything about xperia and maybe I'm not alone... Have you got a screen of the lockscreen or can you explain its behaviour against the HTC Sense lockscreen!?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] keifwoki:
have you tried pocket shield?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] HectiQ:
it locks with a curve instead of a horizontal line by htc. you can find it on the net, xperia x10 lockscreen
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] theory_87:
X10 is an android device period...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] HectiQ:
Period? LoL! what are you saying xD, don't post if you don't want to help dude!

I think it's possible because there are also lockscreens with patterns in it, so a lockscreen that looks like this can be made I guess:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] HectiQ:
///TOPICBUMP///
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] [★]:
Not sure if this is quite what you want, but you can skin the lock screen button if you use it currently on your phone..

Make sure when you cab them up they install to windows
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] HectiQ:
well, this is still for the original horizontal slider. So that is not really what I need, but thanks for the input.

I'm looking for a lockscreen which you unlock by moving in a curve or something else then the original because I'm really annoyed by it.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] [★]:
Im sure you can find something here?

http://mobilespoon.blogspot.com/2009/04/incomplete-guide-to-windows-mobile.html

maybe organic lock?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] HectiQ:
No because it's also a pattern-based lockscreen, if you forget the pattern, you maybe in worst case scenario need a hard reset, just looking for maybe this isn't a bad idea organic lock, if it would be background adaptable, but even then, the GFX don't change like it unlocks on the xperia.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] [★]:
Sorry I got no other ideas, unless maybe you dumped the xperia stock rom and then had a look for it and tried to cab it up?

which phone is the lockscreen your looking for from?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] HectiQ:
it's the xperia X10. But it's android, so I have no idea actually if it could be ported?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] watcher64:
I can bet you cannot do this without a 3rd party app of some kind, as you cannot make the lock behavior a curve with the built in lock function, it is just straight lines ...

EDIT: Also since this is a "question" it really should have been in the Q&A section, as this forum is supposed to be for "releases", as the sticky at the top says ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] [★]:
Oh I didnt realise it was android, sorry.

Why isn't Google Earth available in the market? :(
[Legend Themes and Apps] creatif:
It's not (yet) available for the Legend.. Has something to do with the processor type and speed. Google Earth needs an Armv7 and Legend has an Armv6.

Yup, the current version doesn't work, even if you download the .apk from other sources.

[HD2 General] timstephens11:
Calm down!!! Most people started like that.

It will not be the last time you see this but

the search function is your friend

. Everything you could ever need to know is on here.

Also read the rules before you get a roasting, you've already posted a similar thread to this that i was replying on.

Finally take a look at Co0kie's Home Tab instead of Max Manila, i used to use mm but now on CHT, it works much better. There are loads of rom's with CHT cooked in, and also plenty of "clean" roms. I alway start with the most popular or the chef's that have been around the longest.

Now best to go back to the wiki and the stickys on the HD2 forums.

I just bought an unlocked Motorola Backflip off ebay.

I had a few questions.

If I do a hard reset, do I need to unlock it again?

If I 'clear storage' or reset defaults, do I need to unlock it again?

When the Android 2.1 upgrade comes this fall, will I need to unlock it again after upgrading?

how to root moto backflip???

plzzz help
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] garco g:
motorola backflip rooted

I used these guide whith my backflip.Instructions :

Setup:

- Install adb unless you haven't done so and Motorola drivers unless you haven't done so

- Download attached archive

- Extract to a directory, I used c:\Moto_MSM_Root

- Make sure you have USB degugging enabled

- Change connection to PC Mode

Process:

- Open command prompt

- cd c:\wherever-your-sdk-tools-folder-is

- adb devices (to verify the connection)

- cd c:\Moto_MSM_Root

- adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk

- adb push su /sdcard/su

(optional) - adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox

- adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

- adb shell

- cd data/local/tmp

- chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

- ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

- let the process run until it returns you to c:/Moto_MSM_Root (be patient, but may need to reboot the phone)

- cd c:/wherever-your-sdk-tools-folder-is

- adb kill-server

- adb devices (to verify the connection)

- adb shell

If you end up with "#" prompt, do the following. Otherwise reboot the phone and try again "adb shell". If even that doesn't give "#" prompt, go back to step "./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin". There are mixed results atm., but some succeeded. See this post for possible way:

- mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system

- cat /sdcard/su > /system/xbin/su

- chown root.root /system/xbin/su

- chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su

- cat /sdcard/Superuser.apk > /system/app/Superuser.apk

- chown root.root /system/app/Superuser.apk

- chmod 644 /system/app/Superuser.apk

(optional) - cat /sdcard/busybox > /system/bin/busybox

(optional) - chown root.root /system/bin/busybox

(optional) - chmod 755 /system/bin/busybox

- mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system

- exit

- : google for......." Moto_MSM_Root "

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geeba:
I have a Desire at the moment with Vodafone... its been dropping calls and Vodafone said they think the handset has failed and agreed to replace it... this was 6 weeks ago almost... so I eventually got the hump and told vodafone they can have it back.

I've had the chance to buy an Orange branded black Desire that I'm going to run on a sim only contract....

I have no idea on Linux.... my questions are really is it easy to flash a stock HTC (hopefully froyo) like it is on winmo devices? - also is it straight forward to unlock an Orange phone?....

And has anyone managed to wipe the orange logo off with spirit wipe or similar?

I just want an unbranded phone really...

How heavy is the orange ROM compared to say the Vodafone one which appears to be a factory HTC Desire.. :confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keith-rogers:
A Desire branded and locked to Orange is probably one of the worst ones you could have chosen! No offence intended. It's just that when you come to de-brand them, there has been a common issue with people de-branding there Orange branded phone and the wi-fi stops working. Whilst I think there may be a fix somewhere, I'm not sure if this is limited to it actually running on the Orange network, as opposed to the de-branding procedure itself.

As for rooting it, it is possible, quite a bit more difficult with the Desire than it used to be with older Android devices though. Here is a guide to rooting your Desire:

http://www.knowyourcell.com/htc/htc-desire/desire-guides/474135/how_to_root_the_htc_desire.html

Also if you wish to de-brand your phone, you can find this guide here:

http://community.giffgaff.com/t5/Other-Off-Topic/Debranding-Unlocking-an-HTC-Desire/td-p/23317

Debranding and unlocking are -not- the same thing.

Debranding is removing the branded screen at boot time, along with the applications imposed on you by networks.

Unlocking is the process whereby the phone becomes usable on other networks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
You're better off following the guide off MoDaCo seeing as Paul over there was first to root the Desire!!!

Hi,

I've the Spica version of Wifi Tether on my Spica XXJE1, Lhx 2.02.1 rooted and it works really well even if the phone become really hot during using it also with underclock of the cpu.

Anyway my problem is that after a while even if the battery is not at the danger limit of heat, the program seems to hang without any possibility to unlock it.. the screen is on and everything seems to hanged and the only way is to remove the battery. Is there a system log to know what's happen?
[General Questions and Answers] TT1986:
Hi,

Do you think HTC is making too many phones?

On the plus side, the many phones is a great thing because it provides both the consumers and mobile carriers with plenty of choice. However, there has to be a threshold, beyond which support from HTC (and even optimizations during the design phase) for each individual phone must suffer.

Right now, there are so many Android HTC phones out there, most of them begging to be upgraded to Eclair or Froyo. There are reported issues with battery life, unlocking tools, inconsistent touch response etc. I'm worried that this may reflect badly on the Android OS.

Do you think HTC should reduce the number of phones they release just a tad and concentrate on providing quality support to the fewer number of phones? Or perhaps you are not yet convinced that the aforementioned threshold has been passed yet and they can handle all the releases so far?
[General Questions and Answers] androidlicious:
I agree with some of what you said; but I think that there are just too many Android phones, not just from HTC. Also, I don't understand why all the higher-end Android phones are all CDMA. Does Verizon really need 3 high-end Android phones for its customers? I understand the need for choice and whatnot, but when you have too many to manage, that becomes a problem. For example, when it comes to marketing, which one of the phones should you focus on?

If there was one high quality, well-built, and attractive Android phone, I think it would be very successful. The Nexus One is a good example, but compared to the other higher-end phones available right now, its hardware does seem like they are lacking.
[General Questions and Answers] fundio:
i think they are. flooding the market and not putting all focus in a few devices that could be better.
[General Questions and Answers] kekkle:
HTC doesn't have that much really:

HTC Wildfire: Current Low-end

HTC Tattoo: Previous low-end

HTC Desire: Current flag-ship

HTC Legend: Previous flag-ship, nearing end of life.

HTC MagicL EOL.

HTC Hero: EOL.

Pretty much Desire & Wildfire is all they got. Desire is getting a bit behind, so now comes Desire HD.

Evo and Incredible are CDMA only. So 4 phones total.
[General Questions and Answers] egzthunder1:
Not really, how about the following devices:

Nexus 1 (it may be google branded, but manufactured by HTC)

Leo (all variants)

Rhodium (all variants)

HD Mini

Espresso

Aria

Upcoming the G2 (HTC Vanguard)

Quite a few more than just 4. And I already know that the OP was referring to Android phones, but that is not the only market that HTC is targeting (hence my inclusion of the WM devices in the list)
[General Questions and Answers] kekkle:
Those are pretty much the same deal as above, but then packed with WinMo.
[General Questions and Answers] freakzone:
I think they aren't, just look at nokia :)

Everyone is screaming about updates but then nokia have never updated a phone and have been quite successful

Android os reflects bad on itself on its own without anyone's help. For example the Bt transfer on my "android flagship device" wasn't working a month ago, 3 years after they anounced it and on the god knows which firmware (2.1 it was). It doesn't have a built in file manager :confused:, how do you think did I buy one from the marketplace. And it has adds, what are these for :D:D. Yeah it's free but then I don't recall the desire being much cheaper than the hd2 if you compare the prices on the release dates.
[General Questions and Answers] DroidBois:
Is this a joke?? Nokia are hardly successful if you look at their performance since the N95 was released (last successful device).

HTC's short support history is really starting to irk me.
[General Questions and Answers] orb3000:

[General Questions and Answers] freakzone:
Nokia have never updated a phone even before the N95 e.g. when they were succesfull. They sell a lot of phones now too, just the smart ones are not very popular
[General Questions and Answers] DroidBois:
Nokia are a joke, I'd take HTC and Android any day over Nokia. The web almost blew up from complaints about the buggy N97 when it came out.
[General Questions and Answers] DangerPanda:
I disagree with the quote that "Nokia never updated their phone".

The N900 received the PR1.1 and 1.2 and is waiting for 1.3
[General Questions and Answers] kwanbis:
Yes, I agree.

I like more the "apple way", where they release one phone each year, and they support it for at least 3 years.

If you ask me, HTC should do no more than 3 a year, and then provide 3 years support at least.
[General Questions and Answers] lonelykatana:
I disagree whole heartedly!

I dont see HTC have made to many phones.

Allot of phones people are still buying are last years phone (leo is a great example!).

Its no longer HTCs flagship phone, but people are still buying it.

Am I right in saying HTC only have 4 phones on sale (in the UK atleast) running android, which are still in production?

I.e. The wildfire, desire, desire HD and the desire Z? (WTF is with all the desire names lol) Im not saying the N1 because I thought it was no longer being made (correct me if im wrong :))

And in my opinion thats the perfect line up!

Each handset offers something different.

desire = good allround phone

desire HD = large screen

Desire Z = hardware keyboard

Wildfire = lower end smartphone (which is very impressive may I add)

I guess over in the US you've got the evo too...

I think they are just about doing the right thing, not so much flooding the market, but giving a nice mix of designs :)
[General Questions and Answers] kwanbis:
Maybe i'm missing something, but on 2010, they released, or plan to release (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTC_phones#A_Series_.28Android_phones.29):

HTC Bravo

HTC Legend

HTC Incredible

HTC Espresso

HTC Supersonic

HTC Buzz

HTC Liberty

HTC Ace

HTC Desire Z

Add to that HTC Photon, and HTC Passion (Nexus One), that makes it 11 phones in a year.
[General Questions and Answers] MacaronyMax:
tbh They are not making too many, but if you include their CDMA phones aswell as GSM, Yes they are, i mean Three 4.3" phones is a bit silly :p ;)
[General Questions and Answers] rajasyaitan:
For me, the pace is quite normal for a booming company. And they sell quite well. Android is getting more popular day by day and they're taking advantage of that. However, I agree with you. This might be a mistake in the long term.
[General Questions and Answers] shoemeistah:
Not a mistake. I also wouldn't like one version car each 3 years of Audi. I think that's a pretty fair comparison hehe.

Sent from my HTC
[General Questions and Answers] gm112:
I want an innie! That is true, actually. Each year car makers release new models.
[General Questions and Answers] kwanbis:
That is not accurate, nor fair.

I think HTC should release 3 phones per year: budget, normal, premium.

Maybe each one as GSM/CDMA if they want, so 6 phones at most, in 3 "families".

They are releasing 11 phones this year.

And still there is no froyo for the legend.
[General Questions and Answers] herczyn:
exactly. n95 was updated many many times.

and they're still loosing this battle ;)

i see it this way:

3 (budget, qwerty, big screen) * 2 (GSM, CDMA) * 2 (Android, WinMo) = 12

and that's almost exactly how many they're doing, right?
[General Questions and Answers] ChaosCao12:
Meh

Not really a bad idea to have so many variety just wish they didn't upgrade phones so fast and leave them so half baked...

I think each model should have a years wait before releasing new model.
[General Questions and Answers] galaxys:
For me the more the merrier!
[General Questions and Answers] DesigningOne:
Instead of mass production, how about warranty the strength of the device? Make a few good size choices and call it a day? Stores can charge a reasonable fee to completely wipe the software & reset (bricks happen). Open the programing to the masses who will support it better & longer than manufacturer. They make the phones strong, we make the programs strong... Utopia!

At present i Am on :

Energy.BLACKSTONE.23569.Sense2.5.Cookie.Dinik.Glass.Jun.11

it vibrates right at my ear... can't handle it. i have looked everywhere but can't seem to find a setting.

I am even using Task 29 to clear up my device before flashing every new ROM.

Some one please help. i know there could be a registry tweak to disable this. Call waiting vibration = 1, change to 0.... :-)

HELP!
[Touch HD General] deepakjohn:
You're right!

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\CallWaiting\Script

Change the value to pw3pw3p

p - play ringtone

w - wait number of seconds

v - vibrate

I'm sure there are a few more. But this ought to do the job ;)
[Touch HD General] vinaymieux:
Thanks a ton!!

Dude ... i can't thank you enough for this!!! really..!!!

mine was set to pv1w3v1

i was tired of the phone buzzing my ear every time in a call waiting.

wonder where this started from. i have changes 3 ROMs since it first started.

Thank you very Much!! :-D

Call Wait Volume Adjustment

Is there any way to boost the volume of the call waiting tone? Been looking all over for a solution
[Touch HD General] jon5kr:
Thank you so much for this. The vibrate is actually audible to the other line because it's so intense on my TP2. I too had searched all over the phone settings for a way to change this. I don't know why NRG changed the default on this and why it is so cryptic to change!

Much better now thanks!
[HD2 General] cristian.sava:
Hi all, i've just bought a new htc hd2 from vodafone and i was amazed by every aspect of the terminal but the battery time. I had initialy the RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1.66.479.2_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship ROM and i thought that i should change it to a more optimized and newer version but that didn't happen with the new ROM : Duttys_Leo_Sense_2.5_5.21905.5.0.93_2.13_Radio_2.11.50.20_HG_V3.8 - still horrible battery time

I even tried some other optimization and tweaking tools : Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3.cab & BsB Tweaks 1.6.cab with no visible results.

After a full charge leaving the phone in standby with only phone link + data link over HSDPA (no music listening, no web browsing and the weather, stocks at the max sync time available) i can get a max of 8h standby time which is plain horrible.

I have tried different combinations of things nothing worked.

I have just deleted all links from windows/startup after a new full charge and turned off all radio operations. After 15-30 minutes of standby the terminal is already at 93%.

So i think i have a problem. Is it a bad battery ? If not what could be eating up so fast the battery even in "flight mode" with all radio turned off ?

Did you guys ever encouter such a thing ?

What should i do ?
[HD2 General] cristian.sava:
another weird thing : i did install a hspl in order to put in the new rom but i did it directly from a working environment cause i cannot seem to be able to either hard reset (vol up + vol dn + power) or enter bios (vol dn+power).

i saw another guy on another thread with the same issue.

i will not tempt fate and reflash it although i did it 4 times already with different roms.

is that even possible ?

how can i fix it ?

PS : although i am new to htc hd2 ... i still have and rommed like a 1000 times an old mio a701 so i consider myself knowledgeable.
[HD2 General] cristian.sava:
update : after 90 minutes of plain standby with all radio off i am at 85% charge - so i am officially worried and need your advice on this !!!
[HD2 General] elburna:
Just a suggestion concerning the hardreset/bootloader: Did you really hold the Vol.Buttons until the tri-coloured screen appeared or did you release them before?
[HD2 General] cristian.sava:
i had the buttons pressed all the time no tri color hspl screen , just the plain htc white screen normal boot. even tried it after a shutdown and reinsertion of the battery to be sure. same result:

normal boot : no hard reset or enter bios/hspl/tri color screen (which i can only see if i install a new rom using usb within the working OS, force reboot and enter hspl from the custom rom install program)
[HD2 General] elburna:
Did you use HSPL2 (recommended) and chose HSPL 2.08 or the normal/old one? Did you already try to install HSPL again?
[HD2 General] cristian.sava:
i have installed the original hspl only once. no hspl2.
