What are those "Help me!!!!!!!"-Threads always supposed to be? Is it so difficult to choose a proper ThreadTitle which informs a potential reader about the content of the Thread. And why the hell must it sound like you have bricked your phone completely when u just want to ask a minor standard-question (without even using the searchfunction by the way... :rolleyes:). Please Guys keep this forum clean and informative.

Thanks

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:

Flash is fore Rom's!!

Cabs are installed!!

Just download the cab's you need, copy to your SD and pres on install! Don't see the difficult in it!

Oh yes fore your safety, install the cab on the device's memory!!

^^^ Did you actually really read the answer in posting #2?

I kind of doubt that. Because your new question implies you haven´t.

Please follow the link, read everything, download and try the app - and there you go.

Wow xda-developers is so friendly!! Whats with all the jumping on people. If someone is new they dont know how it works in here. So just let them know , in a nice way. The responses here sound like you dont want any new people here. Fine any new person who reads this head over to www.ppcgeeks.com . The people are much nicer there and wont get pissed if you ask a question.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k8sh:
Sometimes (a lot of) people just don't read nor search and expect to be spoon-fed the information they need (because they would not spend the effort to do/find it themselves). I don't know about the majority but to me that is just laziness and quite annoying.

AS FOR THE QUESTION POSTED, if you actually do go to the link posted above, the information is there and any questions you might still have is better directed in that thread rather than creating a new one such as this with a SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!! subject line.

I thought moderators are deleting threads such as this.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tictac0566:
Nobody is jumping on anybody.

The truth is harsh sometimes. Obsolete and redundant questions and answers are definitely not something any forum is searching for. It´s called spam.

Ignoring the correct answer (which in this case was given in the very first answering posting) isn´t a beginners mistake, imho. It doesn´t show respect to the user who posted the link.

If me pointing out this very fact was too rude, I am sorry. But to be honest, I am tired of recurring subjects which could easily be solved using the search function. I did the same when I came here as a beginner. Oh, and btw, please check the forum rules and the new stickies.

Last, but not least, in the other forum you mention, it might be a different story sometimes. People get ignored there, and some statements are much harsher than anything I have personally ever seen here.

We are all human beings. Cool down.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarpy:
info

Ok yes the link provided was good information. I personally just PM someone when I have a question. I been here for a while so i have that option because people will PM me back.

My point is some people or smarter than others. Iam a developer myself, so alot of problems or questions I can figure out on my own. But some people are not that smart and this phone can very easily expose that fact. So some new people might need more help , and sarcasm wont help anyone. They dont call this a smart phone for nothing. Whats simple to you and me , might be complicated to others.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
I don't see what's your problem Sr.

First of all the moderators have create a special sub-forum fore this Q and A.

secondly I can understand that maybe using the searchfunction is not easy to everyone, and certainly not if you don't know what to search!

But after the moment I post him the correct link to his question, a hole thread that give you bay the way a hole step by step explanations :confused: I don't know how we can give a better treatment!?

but after that the person came back with a question what is tread in there!!!???

I don't know sr but there is a end on everyone's goodness!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarpy:
nice is a good word

Ok I understand its annoying when newbies just dont get it. As for a problem I dont have one , and maybe I came off harsh. My mistake too.

When the OP said flash a cab , that alone told me he isn't computer or phone savy. He obviously is way over his head with this type of phone. He probaly got lucky when he found this website. Iam sure he was excited that he could ask a question because he was lost. The comment that pissed me off a little was telling him its safer to install to the phone. Thats definitally not right at all.

The only reason I said anything was because I could tell the OP was really lost and confused. By reading his comments I could tell he never had anything like this before. So for his 1st venture into the wonderful world of windows mobile, I just didnt want him to be discouraged. I want him to enjoy the phone and mod it to the fullest extent.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
the reason way I have wright "installed cabs on your device" is because there are some cab's that don't have a correct installation pat. And like I saw it was a new member who posted this thread I give him this tip, to be sure he don't installed it on SD.

I don't see what is wrong with that!?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarpy:
installation

1) Installation on a unstable OS like windows mobile ,will cause slowdown in the future after alot of apps are installed. Its nobodys fault but HTC who made the phone.

2) If there is a virus , you can delete it easier on storage card.

3) If you have to hard reset the phone , you lose everything. Thats why I recommend storage card.

See how nicely I spoke , I gave point by point reasons without sarcasm. We are all happy now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tictac0566:
It´s a bit sad to see the development of this thread.

Something which was not "bashing" turned into bashing after a posting was made, citing the "bad word". In the meantime, there was even a thread opened to discuss that very question.

I think both threads should be closed. They don´t belong into the "HD2 Themes and Apps" section anyway.

And, imho, it is recommendable to install system relevant items like icon cabs to the device, I definitely second kurt-willems´ advice. On the other hand, CSMI or JWMD Icon Changer, the possible programs to change icons manually, can go onto the memory card.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
50%

But I don't see sarcasm on my post, maybe my bad english, or maybe my culture.

That was all I had to say.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
I don't want to wade in on the bashing, but to make a comment like your first one, "unstable OS", sounds to me like you have something against windows mobile, and to post in a thread of someone looking for help that their os is just "Unstable" is not really help ...

I am sure there are a lot of people that use WiMo daily and would not agree that it is "Unstable"

I personally install almost everything to phone memory because this phone can take it, and my phone runs just fine...

With this phone there is a bigger chance of the SD card getting corrupted than the OS ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarpy:
life is funny

Its very funny to me now. I just responded and I didnt bash anyone. Its funny how people can talk to someone anyway they like, but cant take it when someone talks to them the same way.

If you didnt like the way I responded, maybe you shouldnt that way to others. Very simple have a nice day!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarpy:
Watcher64

Ok my comments about unstable means some phone 30-35% have been know to have problems. Your phone is running fine and Iam glad your not having problems. Iam just talking from exp.

Why is it more likely that a storage card would get more corrupt easily?

That was your comment and I would like to hear the logic behind that statement please, thankyou
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomguyz:
No Point at all ........

There is no point to argue on this matter ..... is possible the xda can stick a post on each treat for Q&A so all the newbie can post they question there. Sometime not say that newbies not using the search in the forum but when you want to search for the correct answer is damn hard at here ..... let say if I want to search for the original treat for cookie's home tab .... it come out all the not related post cause all the developer put cookie's home tab in they post ..... you be a newbies before and we all be a newbies before .... so if possible try to help in nice way ........

Happy posting and enjoy your HD2

:D:D :D:D :D:D :D:D :D:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
The Logic is many many people have posted in these forums with corrupted SD cards in the HD2 , but I guess if you would have used the search you would have seen that rather than just assuming there was not logic behind my post, but then again I am just speaking from experience ... ....

But I digress ....

Just to let you know where I stand , and why I like to tell people to search,

1.) It's in the forum Rules

2.) Ignorance of the Rules does not excuse them ...

3.) I actually love to help people, but expect them to at least try to help themselves.

4.) If people want help, they should ask for help, don't "Expect" it to be handed to them on a silver platter.

Going to explain number 4 there;

If someone yells "Help trying to do this one thing with that thing, and it doesn't work"

To answer their question I would have to ask them, What thing, what have you done, what are you trying to do, and what did you get when you did it ...

Now if someone Asks "Ok Was trying to get this app to work , here is what I tried, I did this, I did that and even tried this."

Then we can proceed in the direction of an answer, not have a dozen posts just trying to figure out what they did in the first place ....

Now I may be totally off base, but I don't think any of those things are hard for someone that is trying to put apps on or Flash a phone, if those things are that hard then they should not even be attempting it ...

When someone comes in and says , "Oh I am trying to get this thing to work, I have read no instructions, I have looked up no info, not even sure which phone I have, but I want you to fix it for me .." THAT is Annoying ...

Thank You ....

[Touch HD General] rbegovic:
Guys I need help with finding my official ROM cause I need to return my Blackstone for warranty. I flashed my ROM with NRG and it's great but did not backed up my original ROM. Problem with downloading from official webpage is that my serial is not working, and I've found out that my serial is inconsistent with my colleges who also have the same phone.

My serial starts with HT92VKD0 but from my colleges starts with HT8. I remember that my ROM was 1.14xxx, and they had 1.56. Also updates with my serial are not available.

Could anyone help me decide which official ROM should I use so I can don't lose warranty

Thanks allot

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] alphadeeto:
hi guys..

I have an XDA Atom Exec, still in WM5 with SPB Mobile Shell installed to enhance its interface..

the problem is that I can't run multiple programs at once.. everytime I use palringo or opera mobile and there's an SMS coming, those programs automatically turned off.. is it just because the lack of RAM and the existence of SPB mobile shell exhausts the RAM? or maybe I can have some other solutions except uninstalling mobile shell?

if I have to uninstall mobile shell, is there any other application that works on WM5 and provides awesome interface like mobile shell?

thanks for the answer.. :D

is it 720p?

[Streak 5 General] cesare1470:
all pda have 720p,radiofm.......I think that the pda producers study these deficiencies and so they can sell the next pda adding something
[Streak 5 General] courtlandre:
It's only vga resolution, but perhaps might get a 720P upgrade like other phones. It seems capable of 720P.
[Streak 5 General] Ovrclck:
as long as the hardware supports it then I don't mind waiting...:)
[Streak 5 General] lufc:

[Streak 5 General] pyr77:
It might give 720 from Video Player, when You have 720p movie on Your memory card.

And camcorder is different thing; with recording VGA only.
[Streak 5 General] cesare1470:
I know it's so
[Streak 5 General] Ovrclck:
:( no dell streak for me then.
[Streak 5 General] irus:
I think it say vga and not 720p is because android 1.6 does not support 720p recording. Someone correct me if im wrong :p
[Streak 5 General] fards:
It's quite possibly got the same chip as the N1 (the SOC does appear pretty close) and support for 720p came with the 2.x upgrade for that.

I reckon the hardware supports it, but we'll need a new software upgrade to do it.

take a look at the testing in this very forum to get 720p support on *ALL* snapdragon devices..

[Galaxy S I9000 General] quicky:
Galaxy S is my first Android device, so please excuse my noob-question:

I just try alot of apps and most of them will be uninstalled by me a few days later. Does Android do a "clean" uninstall, or are there still bits and pieces in something like a registry (yes I am a windows-user ;-)). Or does that depend on the uninstall-method which is provided by the individual app-developer?

Due to the fact that there is no "General Android" - Forum I will post my question in this forum which at least corrsesponds to my current device.

Thanks for your insight.

quicky
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
This is funny because I also wonder everytime I delete if there are registry pieces missing lool. but I'm sure that doesn't matter.. There are however SOMETIMES folders IN the SD card or the external Drive of a phone (like the 8gb/16gb partition of the Galaxy).

All android phones are like that, sometimes they leave a folder with settings or sometimes empty folders, and sometimes no folders at all.

I think it's just to keep cache or settings.. you can simply delete those when you enter your sd card.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darksnarfer:
In Android, every app has his own "sandbox". This is like a exclusive folder for the app, where it stores everything and other apps can't access.

When you remove an app from the phone, android removes this "folder" so there is nothing left behind.

There is just one exception to this: the SD card. Some programs will store some information (for example heavy games store maps, voices,...) to a folder in the SD card. So when uninstalling just look if your SD card contains some folder with the app name and safely remove it too (unless you plan reinstalling the app later!).

or use any registry editor and go to following address:

you will see reg keys similar to shortcut's name in windows start menu

choose the one you want to change

inside the key modify or create String Value (Name = Icon) with value of icon's path

soft reset and You've got brand new icons :)

[EVO 4G General] wrxlvr:
So, I'm noticing (and it really bothers me) that many of the icons for apps aren't as crisp and clear as others. Some that I've noticed aren't very good looking are:

Blow Up (Lite)

Engadget

Jewels

Groupon

SNesoid Lite

The Weather Channel

Texts from Last Night

Useless Facts

Weather.

Does this have to do with the image file they're using for the icon? Is it just designed for the lower res phones? And most importantly, is there anything I can do about it?

One of my homescreens is just apps that I use frequently, and these "fuzzy icons" are driving me nuts.
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
Pretty sure the icon resolution is up to the developer.
[EVO 4G General] wrxlvr:

So this is just part of the "fragmentation" thing that everyone hates about Android?
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
If by "fragmentation", you mean, "openness and non-standard", then sure.
[EVO 4G General] wrxlvr:
No, I mean having a device with a higher resolution than others being stuck with a low rez icon. Subtle difference.
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
Yeah, same difference. Can always ask the developers of the above-mentioned apps to include higher res icons for the higher res screens.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
icons made for devices like the G1 don't look good on our screen
