Where can I found a valid IP? in wi fi setings/ advanced? there is IP 0.0.0.0 and I cant change it...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kev007:
you can use a similar one to your computer's (but not exactly the same, try +1 to the last digit)

you can change ip settings under: start->settings->connections->wifi->wireless networks->network adapters->Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] almircuric:
Just do the following: start->settings->connections->wifi->wireless networks->network adapters->Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter or Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter AND CLICK ON: USE SERVER-ASSIGNED IP ADDRESS. This would surely solve the problem.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ursika:
Thanx for advise. I tried but it still does not work :((
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ursika:

Thanx a lot both of you! :)
[HD2 General] stevemilw:
Hello, i am running 1.66 rom on a generic htc hd2 with a t-mobile contract.

I cant update to the very latest rom because theyve only released it for branded phones!

The first bug ive comes across is the Facebook profile pictures in my favourites list sometimes switch around betweeen different people, so say joe's profile picture appears on bills name! happens every so often, and its very irritating. the only solution is to delete both contacts and re enter them into the phone!

The second is when im texting, at the start of the text, after i have done a few characters, sometimes it scrolls up to the last text and selects it, meaning i can still type, but i cant see what im typing, the keyboard covers everything im typing.

Incredibly irritating, i then have to minimize the keyboard, then maximize it aagain.

Also, a new occurance, when i switch on my phone it says launching htc sence and stays there for ages, when i click the cross, i get onto my phone, its as if sence had already loaded and just not removing the message.

The next thing is the wifi, is it meant to switch off affter a while? my battery went from 100 percent to 0 in about 5 hours! (not even joking) i just leaave it off now..

OOh and whilst im at it, one more thing. Can you sync your emails over data conneection? It always displays 'synchronisation error' when ever i try to sync over data connection, but on wifi it connects and downloads perfectly!

Any ideas on any of these issues? has anyone else experienced them?

thanks in advance :)
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
Flash a custom ROM, they are far superior.

I don't use the Facebook app as it is absolutely usless, but after a search I found this -'Go into all people then select your contact. Then select Edit Contact. Then press where the profile picture should be. A 'Set Contact Photo' option should pop up. Next to the Facebook profile it should have a downloading icon. Once that was done i selected Facebook Profile and all was working.'

There is an SMS update from the HTC website, but I believe this just addresses SMS failure to deliver issues. However, flashing a custom ROM with 235xx (WM 6.5.x) will definately eliminate this problem, as it uses a different SMS application. I'd assume flashing a custom 21907 (WM 6.5) would fix it too.

I get this from time to time on my Energy ROM, I don't know what causes it, it doesn't really bother me.

I am assuming you have BSB Tweaks installed? If so you have the 'Wifi Standby' option in Connections selected on. If you don't have it, download it and make sure it's disabled.

I've done a search using the forums search function, (hint hint) and found this it seems to have helped someone with this same problem with their HD2.
[HD2 General] flangepiece:
I get this regularly (and also having the keyboard go mental sometimes, switching character sets, entering characters when I'm trying to backspace etc). Seems worse when the phone's hot or when I'm outside and it's windy! But that might just be a coincidence.

I actually sent the phone back to HTC a month or two ago (their customer service was fantastic btw - picked up the phone on a Monday, I had it back by Friday all by courier).

There was a note in there saying they'd reconnected the touchscreen. Everything seemed okay for a while but it's doing it again (I've never dropped the phone or anything). Wonder if it's a loose connector or something.

Mine's unbranded, so I'm waiting for the next ROM update (currently 1.66). If that doesn't fix it I'll ask for a replacement phone (not a fixed one).
[HD2 General] stevemilw:
thanks for the help! You say i would benefit from flashing a custom rom 235xx, what type of rom is that? for instance you have energy rom etc. Sorry if im sounding like a noob, but i like the original layout of my hd2, and dont want too change it too much if possible, but i would like the performance increases that come with it. thanks
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
253xx puts the Start button at the bottom of the screen and makes menus and scroll bars bigger, it's called WM 6.5.x.

219xx is the stock look with the Start button at the top and no so finger friendly menu systems.

That's the basics of the differences between them both.
[HD2 General] stevemilw:
ok thanks i think ill installl standard reference energy rom 235xx one.

Do i need to change my radio before i flash? i have hspl installed.

The reason being is that i have changed the radio rom before and the signal was no where near as good as the stock radio rom. So i flashed back.
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
If you have an international HD2 you have to install a 2.xx.50.xx radio before you flash the Energy ROM. if you leave a 2.xx.51.xx radio on the device you'll brick it.
[HD2 General] stevemilw:
ok thanks, im gonna update the rom now. The rom i have currently is far superior, but i will flash anyway and make the compromise.

Thanks
[HD2 General] htchd2sucks:
Thank you for your feedback!

And also thank you the OP who posted about that SMS problem- which I kept reporting with no echoes.

1) Yeah "reconnected the touchscreen" my @ss. That problem was fixed as soon as I changed ROM.

2) "theres a patch for problem with SMS", my @ss, I installed it did not fix anything- Also, if you read the rom's releases notes everything is "fixing the sms". They forget to mention that they moved the "task manager" in rom 1.66 and changed a few other things-

3) i still had lot of bugs with that rom and device. Now some of them are removed and I'm using Artemis 22A- A few bugs but all minor so far- so I finally start to "enjo..."erm hard word to say after so many months of troubles.

4) also for the "quietly brilliant support" you mention, I would not be so happy if you really knows what happens there: it's likely they will swap your device with 2nd hand device as they discontinued the manufacture of new devices. Also they had shortage of 1 part and they took it from random devices...

My point is you also risk to get 2nd spares part or the whole 2nd hand part... not too nice as it does not means that the original fault/flaw is fixed, and its gambling until your warranty expires...
[Android Themes] nwndarkness:
This is an explanation on how to use a boot animation originally intended for a lower resolution on a higher resolution screen.

The problem stems from the desc.txt file. This file contains a very small amount of code which tells the android device how to display the boot animation.

Steps

1. Extract bootanimation.zip to another location.

2. Open up desc.txt with notepad/etc and change 320 to 480 and 480 to 854 and save it. If for some strange reason, you do not see 320 and 480, just change whatever numbers are there to 480 and 854.

3. The next part is crucial. You need to take these three folders/files you extracted (desc.txt, part0, and part1) and rezip them WITHOUT COMPRESSION. To do this, open up 7zip or WinZip or similar program and start to create a new archive named bootanimation.zip. Before you create it, look for a setting dealing with compression. In 7zip it says "Compression level". You need to change this to either "Store" or "None" (They mean the same thing. Depends on what program you are using). Create the archive.

4. You need to push this back to your phone. There are instructions elsewhere, but they are simple so I will include them here.

5. Enter a command window. Navigate to your tools folder by typing

6. Now enter the following one by one.

That is it. I have tried this on a mac, but I have been unsuccessful in creating an uncompressed zip folder. If you can accomplish this, props. I recommend just doing this in windows if you have the chance.

Hope this helped you out.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] nihonjintaylor:
After seeing the iPhone 4.0 way of handling mail, I kinda feel like the android is behind in this area. Or it could be I just don't know of a good mail application.

I've used K9 and Moxier(of course) but both seem very lacking in fluidity and overall appearance.

Also any app I use that checks mail automatically drains my battery *fast*

Here's a screen of my battery with and without automatic mail updates on.

Both are when the phone is supposed to be sleeping.

The reason I want an app to check mail automatically other than my default gmail address is I have other addresses I use for work and would like to be notified as I get mail and not have to do it manually all without worrying about my battery being drained uber fast.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Chewitt:
i always use K-9 ive not found any other worth using really.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] nihonjintaylor:
Yeah, it works ok if I update manually. Automatic is another story, however. :(
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] cicaem:
try with maildroid, it is in the market and it is free.... Works fine in my X10
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] vrs2610:
its okay kinda clunky when scrolling through your email. It doesn't save your emails so yeh it kinda bogs down.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] im_iceman:
I tried maildroid too.. wasn't keen - back to k-9..
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] PollPixx:
i tried a lot and K9 does it for me the best so far as well.

Cheers,

Arnold
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] joelangley:
re:

I am the maildroiddev. Sorry MailDroid is not working well for you. For the person who mentioned the lag when scrolling, this is fixed in version 1.25 (available in the next day or so). I am always looking for feedback and comments to make it better though.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] j4mm3r:
Excuse me... were you born yesterday?

Ah... if only the rest of the world cared more about appearances and not on functionality.

Sorry to disappoint you but the best of the apps (like K-9) concentrate on providing functionality rather than appearance. K-9 is one of the most fully featured mail apps that I've found so far.

The issue with the battery drain can be resolved simply by using push email providers. Polling is inherently inefficient and probably in your case causing the battery drain (even though I dont really think so, just by looking at the graphs you posted).
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] nihonjintaylor:
now now, no need for the insults :). I don't use an iPhone, nor do I touch them often. I saw one and was impressed and wondered if there was something that had that level of fluidity. Is it a crime that I ask publicly about some secret gem that might be hiding under various radars? :).

Perhaps sarcasm? ^^;

But yes, both would be nice :).

It's by no means bad. It could be better but still I was simply wondering if there was already that something available ^^;

Ah, I see^^

I wonder how the native gmail app handles it? I get an email alert as I get sent mail yet battery drain is extremely low. Does Gmail and this app utilize the push thing that you're speaking of? I believe my problem would be solved via the android update which allows multiple mail accounts instead of just one.

@joelangley

Cheers for being a great developer :). I look forward to trying out your update :).
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] nihonjintaylor:
Apologizes for the double post + bump. I just want to state that after using maildroid for the 2 weeks I'm extremely impressed. Battery drain is at a minimum and I get updates from my other accounts nearly instantly. There are occasions when I haven't been notified but those times have been few and far between.

Good job maildroid :). Now if only the ui can be updated with a bit more polish it'd be golden :D.

According to this

http://www.cnet.com.au/who-else-is-getting-android-2-2-339304181.htm

looks like it will be 2.2 not 2.1 SE is gunna provide us.....
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Reading comprehension is the key to success! :)

In the article, it states "Q4" for 2.2, does it not?

SE has stated multiple times that 2.1 is coming in Q3. So, we'll still get 2.1.

Also, here's the biggest question I have... why am I reading about this on CNET Australia with no sources?
[XPERIA X10 General] mootmaina:
True that however I thought it may be worth putting up here. This is the first iv read anywhere that its getting 2.2 upgrade.
[XPERIA X10 General] wrongfeifong:
Let's just suggest to SE that each of us will give them 30 bucks roughly (My willing at least) for Froyo update right now.

Maybe they will see it in economic sense and start give us those premium service just like their Ps3 and PSP.

Whoever plays get "XXXXX" version first.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noiz:
I'm happy with the stock ROM that my unbranded Desire came with, but I'm thinking about rooting it to add some extra functionality - specifically two-way call recording and Titanium Backup right now.

Is it possible to root the phone without changing ROMs and/or losing all of my currently installed apps, settings etc etc?

If it is, what happens when ROM updates appear? Can I install the OTA updates or would I need to wait for someone to mod it to keep root enabled?

Finally, the same question but regarding 2.2. What happens when the official 2.2 update comes out? I'm guessing nobody knows for certain, but are we likely to be waiting a while before we can update if our phones are rooted?

I'd have thought this sort of thing would be covered in a rooting FAQ but I can't seem to find anything about it!

Much thanks for any advice. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergeantash:
I'm also very interested in the response to this, as a new Desire user I don't think that the rooting/rom upgrade guide is particularly helpful, it dives far too deeply into the topic before actually talking about the process, what it involves from a complete Desire newbie perspective.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
In a word - no.

In a few more words, part of the rooting process has to replace your existing ROM.

Regards,

Dave
[XPERIA X10 General] murmeljenta:
Hi,

From some other threads it seems that it's possible to check the phone's brand etc on the phone:

Under settings -> about the phone, I only have:

* Model: X10i

* Firmware version:

* Radio software:

* Kernel version:

* Build number:

Where is info about country and brand located?
[XPERIA X10 General] SWKB:
Try this.

In the key lock screen, press "menu > back > back > menu > back > menu > menu > back"

A service menu should pop up. There should be a setting there somewhere that says "brand". If it says Orange under it then your phone is branded with their firmware. If that's the case then follow the debranding method either the one using pc companion or seus (up to you). Just make sure you download the latest firmware for the x10i and use that to debrand... and when you're done, your phone will be debranded as well as on the latest firmware. Just remember that you probably will have to re enter your apn settings, so don't freak out if your data doesn't work at the beginning.

Borrowed from another page lol.

I felt very happy with HTC, excellent support services here ^^ btw samsung not bad too.

For WP7 this won't be an issue, Samsung will be the way to go imo as the updates will be handled by MS and not HTC, Samsung etc. AMOLED screens ftw!

You mean asian supporters that can't speak/write English, don't understand your questions, copy&paste answers, and close your support thread, and in general utterly fails.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
Actually I've gotten some pretty sound responses from HTC's support division on e-mails. They didn't seem copy and pasted and answered the question that I had asked. I've never tried to call them and probably never will need to but I didn't think the support was bad.
[Desire General] junkiepilot:
I have searched but could not find the answer.

I have previously created a goldcard, rooted my desire and used several roms before deciding to un-root.

After I un-rooted I re-formated my goldcard.

Is my goldcard still a goldcard?
[Desire General] benko286:
Nope it isn't!
[Desire General] junkiepilot:
Thanks, but can you elaborate?
[Desire General] benko286:
You mean can you make goldcard again? Yes you can

Or copy files to it? Yes you can :)
[Desire General] memphisuklf:
Newbie question

Is it possible to use the sd card that came with the desire to use as the goldcard. I will back all the data up on it and save it in a folder on pc. If I was able to do this when I made it into a goldcard would I then be able to use this with my Desire as storage?
[Desire General] junkiepilot:
No I was more wondering, what all the hex editing was for in the first place. I did not think that a re-format would remove this....but what do I know.
[Desire General] buchman:
Yes you can. Its the exact thing that I did.
[Desire General] memphisuklf:
So I would format the original and the turn it into a goldcard. Then use this as my storage?

I noticed a new problem after this fix. It's still really fast and nice, but after a few hours when i played with it again (my galaxy S i mean), apps started to close the moment i opened them. Now i do not know for sure if this is caused by this change, but in case it happens to you, i fixed it by killing all running apps, putting the phone in standby, and after a few sec i could launch everything again.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] elvis13:
HI, i have seen on this WM6.5 that i can't add any program (ie one thats not say google maps or one of those big companies)

i can run the program via file manager and clicking the application .exe

the phone still wont see the application as a program.

i had a jasjam before and the prgrams i am trying to add worked fine but now on 6.5 cant do this.:confused:

the only way is to run these apps, well not run but to get a short cut, is on a program like CHome but then i move away from HTC sense start up display that is nicer looking.

like i said the programs work fine, just can see them in programs.

anything that will help?

cheers

:eek:
