[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwistMayhem666:
Hey, I'm trying to get my HTC HD2 home screen to look like the Hero, or the Evo preferred, I'm REALLY wanting the little sun looking thing at the bottom of the screen that says Phone in the center, with the + on the right side, and the ^ arrow on the left side.

Sorry if none of this makes sense, I'm a complete noob to phones.

If anyone can please send me a link to get me a ROM to make my phone have and look like this, please do. Thank you a million times over if you can.

Guys,

I've searched for a while to find a simple Alt-Tab alternative for HD2.

I've found various .cabs, but none seem quite right.

There's the 'Alttab' cab:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=357227&page=2

But for the life of me I just can't seem to assign it to a button, and even if I did, I think it would just open the .exe file rather than Alt-tab (the thread is pretty old as well).

I would like to use 'Touch X longpress sendkey Alt tab', but I already use that button for screen rotation, which I like.

The Rom I use has a dropdown TaskBar at the top, which allows me to switch inbetween open programs, so I have a workaround, I was just wondering if there was a cab that allowed for the classic Onscreen Windows Alt-tab functionality. Or if someone could confirm that the 'Alttab' .exe actually works on a HD2 and it's just my implementation that is wrong.

Thanks in advance!

was going to say that the Touch X longpress is fantastic at what you want. i find it indispensable. i suppose you could always cook up your own action screen?

Hi

I use LMT. it lets you do multiple actions by simply painting a gesture on your screen with single or multi touch. I have double right and left gestures to swap between next and previous apps. Search for LMT in xda hd2 forums. it is an awesome program. give it a try.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .razor:
Thanks guys for your responses, I'll look into both your ideas.

Tried LMT and can't seem to geet it to work. I launch it, I see LMT in the top left menu bar, but as soon as I touch the screen it disappears. and nothing happens.

Any ideas?

that sounds awesome. how did you manage to configure lmt to switch between previous and next app? which program do you use for app-switching? i use double down to bring up my showroom taskmanager.

Thanks

install to device.

open a couple of programs.

now, hold down the call (green) button for 2 sec. a screen will pop up with all your running programs. touch which one you want to go to.

Does anyone know of a way I can set individual text message sounds for people?

It's right there for ringtones but I haven't seen anything for txt msgs.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] PitStop100:
Thanks Angel - Any idea if somebody has something floating around out there?

I searched the forums for a while but didn't find anything specific...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] slochild:
I must agree - I point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Does anyone know of an app that will do this? I'll add that having a different sound for email notifications based on sender would be fantastic too, but I know that could be a coding nightmare.

I've previously used Photo Contacts Pro to do individual text tones on this phone and my previous WM phones. For me it worked, but wasn't as stable as I liked. It eventually eated a lot of memory and crashed then restarted.

Hey do anyone know of a good news widget to use other than the HTC news widget and the genie widget?

Sent from my Sprint Evo
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] livpalm:
Try BuzzBox
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] effluent:
Looking for the same..I tried Buzzbox and it sucked..Couldn't find the feeds I searched for and wouldn't show news items but from one feed.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sanjsrik:
I use gReader. It takes all the feeds you have set up through Google Newsreader and syncs it on your device. The adding a new subscription directly from the application is a bit weird, but it works.

Pretty fast too although I don't think it caches graphics until you open the item.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] effluent:
Greader includes a widget?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sanjsrik:
I just put the application link on th screen or in the dockbar (using LauncherPro Beta).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] effluent:
Well I can just use the HTC News app for that, it works great. I got used to the widget though using Sense the first week or two after I got the phone. So looking for an alternative widget.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
I personally think the HTC News widget is too bloated. I prefer the Genie Widget -- not only does it give

accurate

weather notices, it's also got a great news aggravator.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] effluent:
Where do I find it, I know I found it somewhere before but didn't see it in the market.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] onepanda:
I'm also trying to find Genie in the market, but can't seem to locate it...has it been removed?

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] scev5:
any other scrollable news widgets? or any way to trick the sense news widget to work with launcher?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] okolowicz:
No scrollable news reader widgets I know of and I can assure you I have looked everywhere and likely tried out nearly everything out there. I would like nothing more than to dump Sense but personally, I think they really hit the mark on some of their widgets and their seems to be no equivalent in the market. The guy behind LauncherPro has been doing a great job rolling out similarly functional widgets but no ETA yet on the NewsReader.

Lot's of folks seem to really like the Genie widget which comes on the Nexus One but with no way to choose the specific feeds you want, it doesn't work for me.

Buzzbox has potential and is the only non-Sense news reader with a full screen widget. That said, it still leaves a lot to be desired and was deleted without prejudice. It's buggy, articles were OLD (16+ hours), and it was missing a lot of feeds. I sent an email to the developer and in his response implied that the servers at Buzzbox pre-scan the sources to only send you the "best stuff." WTF? Isn't that the job of the editors at the respective sources...?

gReader syncs feeds from your GoogleReader account and is definitely one you should try if pulling from Google Reader is what you are looking for. However, if you are looking for a bit more customization I would recommend trying out Feedr, NewsRoom, and Greed2. They all have "widgets" but that is using the term loosely in comparison to the Sense one. Personally, when I am running a non-Sense ROM I use NewsRoom. Again, it has widgets but they are really just shortcuts. However, in my opinion (and of course, this entire post has been all my opinion) I think you'll find it has the nicest layout of what is available now plus customizable feeds.

I'm an ex desire user and i'm kinda finding it hard to use SGS at times :( anyways the problem i'm facing right now is when i connect my device and select mass storage device i get no removable device.. it's driving me insane as i don't like to use Kies.. is there anything i'm doing wrong?? desire was soooo much user friendly :confused: anyways can anyone please help me out??

not using any sd card atm (ordered one though)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hassan:
Drop notification bar and hit mount :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sami00:
thanks it worked :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] miker71:
Note for Mac OS X users - I found that after selecting Mount on the phone, the mass storage volumes still did not show up on my desktop.

After I unmounted, turned on USB debugging, and re-mounted then I got both volumes (internal and external sdcard) appear on my desktop.

AFAIK, Kies is not available for OS X so not sure how firmware upgrades are going to work - guess I'll have to find myself a Windows machine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mrassol:
yes you need a real windows machine, virtual machines are not working (did not detect USB)

this problem??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
Run windows on your mac through bootcamp?!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snoweb:
thanks for the advice, could be a solution, although awkward, I would only be

sure with XP installed through bootcamp Kies functions
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spradling:
Yeah, I had to install Boot Camp to update my Galaxy's FW, pain in the neck but it finally worked, I tried with VMWare with 2 Windows installs and it didn't work.

So Mac people save your time and skip VMWare/Parallels, you need Boot Camp for this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
What does USB debugging do? Under what situations should I turn it on and off? In other word, how does the behaviour of the phone get affected by the on/off switch?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] noob sneak:
Hi guys,

sorry to bother you guys but i have got a small problem...

I did a hard reset and installed all the HTC updates including the enhance the stability of sms update...

Now everytime i send a message, on the top of my screen (where the battery icon, clock are) a new icon appears...

If i click it a message appears with the message: message was sent successfully ...

I don't want to get this message... it's annoying when you have to send multiple messages...

I tried searching in the messages settings and the notification settings but can't find it... anyone an idea?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jcterry:
Advanced Configuration Tool will take care of that for you, as well as many other things.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] noob sneak:
i found a cab that solved the problem...

Just installed it, messages gone :)

Thx for the intel anyway
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] adamchap:
So question - what cab did you install? I've tried using Advanced Config Tool - but even on "disabled" mode for this feature it still happens! (Stock 6.5 ROM, unlocked, UK, TP2).

Thanks as this is driving me nuts,

Adam.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] em0rox:
Advance toolkit did not work on my verizon tp2 either there is a cab file called "Updated Disable Verizon Message Sent Popup" or something similar (I have 3 different ones) Find that, install the cab and RESTART THE PHONE. (if you don't restart the phone it will still do it and you'll think the cab did not work but it does.)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevethewelshman:
hi noob sneak

what cab was that i have triued all the above to get rid of this notification.

Hello,

In the General Section of xda-dev i never got answers about pptp vpn.

Perhaps i´ll get here some help ^^

Is there a way to get a working pptp client for my x10i.

My Phone is rooted and i can replace files if needed.

The buildin pptp client is useless and doesn´t connet to my bintec r1200 router.

My Windows PC and my Ipod are connecting without any problems.

Why google added a pptp client which doesn´t work ?

Some Users wrote they can connect with some comercial vpn providers. But i need to connect to my own Network. I don´t want to pay for something which my Router can give me 4 free ^^

My Phone does never connect to my Network. I does not matter if encryption is turned on or off.

I tryed the tip to replace some file from this thread, too.With no luck :(

code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4706

Has anyone get a succesful PPTP connection to a NON COMMERCIAL Vpn ?

Openvpn is useless for me, too. My Router supports als standard VPN, so i don´t want to run an additional PC to get that Phone connected to my Network.

Please Help me :)

Hi, small question...

Is there a setting to make my mail automatically sync as soon as it is connecting to a wifi network.

I give an example... i come home, my tp2 logs on to my wifi and automatically checks my emails...

For the moment i still have to do it manually...

Any tips from you pro's outhere?

It must only check trough WIFI not via 3g or mobile internet
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blades:
This is a really frustrating problem and I have like 50 tabs open trying to find a solution... no dice. If the device goes into standby while connected to my computer, the usb connection is lost. Never saw this behavior with my TP2. I must've screwed with something stupid. For what its worth, I have been able to keep wifi alive and have sound continue playing upon timeout and/or forced standby (endkey).

Right now I'm just looking over HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Power\State

wav1 is sound. Easy to enable that to play during standby - set dword of 4 to 0 in both unattended and resuming nodes.

It seems like the reg key of default in each node assigns a value/power state to functions not explicitly defined in that node.. Better put as an example... if wav1 key was deleted from unattended node, it would be set to whatever the value of Default regkey was. Thats more of a question than a definitive statement.

Its the little things that kill... I could've sworn I had the usb connection functioning correctly when the device was off/sleeping.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rshunev:
I have the same problem with USB disconnect. I figure out it`s comes with Energy.Leo.23569.Sense2.5.Cookie.DinikGlass ROM
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] montecarlo5:
Pushing end key to turn screen off enters the phone into standby/sleep mode. The phone will only go into standby/sleep if you push the end button a few times. The phone won't by itself because its waiting for syncing or data if hooked up for disk storage. If the phone went to standby/sleep mode by itself and you were syncing or transfering data you would be screwed. The only time the phone will turn the screen off is while hooked to a computer in tether mode, and its not going into sleep mode at that time either.
[Streak 5 General] Muo:
If any of you here are following the obnoxious quest for the US to receive the Dell Streak, you would know about the Texas Beta Streak.

I am considering purchasing one on eBay and my questions to fellow XDA-Members are:

- What do you think it is worth price wise currently?

- Do you think the American model will be different?

I do not believe the American model will be different in any way; hardware, software, nothing. Also on top of that, I am afraid the launch will consist of getting the Streak for free with a 2-year contract (I just want an unlocked one!). It will either be a disappoint or a celebration.

.
[Streak 5 General] koolin:
I've been considering much the same as you, even more so because I am in Canada and how I am going to go about getting even when launched might be a challenge. Of the ones I have watched go on ebay I'm pretty sure they been going 600+. Maybe even more on the ones not doing bidding but the offer option. I'd expect the hardware/software is going to be the exact same, if they software is different you'll be able to get the update, so I wouldn't be concerned about that.

The other thing that I've thought of holding me back is that the registration of the device might not be in my name and what issues might that cause for any warranty replacements.

The rumored launch is next week 14/15th, its already the weekend so nothing is shipping till at earliest the 12th, wait it out till then is what I am doing. If the Canada thing is an issue even after launch for myself then if anything ebay availability should be going up and price down so I'm holding out.

This is a Beta Device,I think is not a Good Idea buy one of this devices special with the high price they list there.:cool:
[Streak 5 General] martywix:
Say what you want. I paid about $100 more than the supposed list. Beta or not....I have one now and am really liking it. Had it for about 2 weeks now. As far as Beta, this is only a beta for the US. This was released the same time the Final EU ones for O2 were released. With that said other than being on the US network, if these have bugs it is the same bugs the EU ones have.

no offence but even though you are new, search should be enough for you to become very comfortable with doing everything.

I actually spent a few hours on XDA reading up before buying my magic simply because I wanted to know the limitations and learn how to do things if I got one.

It's quite different from WinMo but once you get everything set up then you are set.

I would recommend that you get adb and the utilities set up from there just read up (The wiki entires are a great place to start).

Have fun and welcome
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nikmash232:
Yeah sorry. I should have but you know people telling you is always easier :)
